I remember xhtalk. It was a graphical X11 program which you configured with a list of hosts and usernames, and corresponding full names, and it ran “finger” at those hosts at regular intervals, looking for those usernames. If any of those usernames were seen to be logged in, they were shown in a list, and if you clicked on a user in that displayed list, a new terminal would be started with a talk session to that user. It was basically a precursor to the instant messenger craze, which had not yet started.
It is not free traded anymore. You can't buy USD/Euro in russia, you can't use rubbles outside russia. At this point they can set it anything they want, it's not a market rate.
Not 100% certain but seems you are looking for smaller a 2 channel amplifier. This one from Emotiva may be what you are looking for.

> world governments would rightly shut it all down before the majority of our electric output went to mining BTC

They can regulate it otherwise, e.g. demand that miners use their own source of green electricity, and make other type of mining illegal, or demand that less than 1% of the total electricity production of the country is used in mining, outlaw the rest and fine illegal operations, etc. It doesn't have to be completely banned everywhere.

> BTC is guaranteed to fail at some point

You'd have to define what "fail" means here, especially given that many proponents of BTC argue in its favor for different (and often contradictory) purposes. What's the failing scenario you're talking about, once mining takes all the electricity it can (be it 100% of production or whatever regulations still allow it to take)?
Electricity costs are going up, and hardware is harder to source due to the chip shortage (and thus likely more expensive, if you pay to get ahead of the line). Perhaps these are part of the reasons.
You can't root or re-flash all Windows devices either.

It's an open platform, so of course there are a ton of bad actors in the space who are going to add their own garbage and try to prevent people from removing it, but if you buy a phone from a reputable source, it's going to let you put it into dev mode. Obviously don't buy the malware encrusted garbage sold directly from shady telecom companies etc.
Isn't that normal? They're not being dishonest, I think?

In a job interview, we scream our strengths and downplay the rest as well.

Not saying it's right or "ok", but normal. Expectable as well...

On Product/Market Fit: It's Often the Market
Didn’t happen in my city, must be a Moscow thing. But yeah, that’s quite sad.
The coefficients are indexed. The n on a_n in Σ a_n X^n is an index.
Yeah, I think everything being ad driven and free to use will be incredibly hard to move away from because it's damn hard to compete with free but it causes incentives to be profoundly misaligned.
For manipulation / spam purposes I don't really care about accounts that don't actively post/like/retweet/follow. The mDAU isn't useful at all for determining if the activity on Twitter is done largely by bots.
I was only “against” lockdowns more recently on the principle that the reactance to it combined with an inappropriate infrastructure and system makes it not terribly effective and would hurt the efficacy of it as a policy vs the sound, rational theory from a purely epidemiology standpoint. If anything, I was hoping at least people would accept masking to the N95 standard but I don’t know what it’ll take before people are willing to slightly inconvenience themselves for public health reasons, and it’s not clear what possible collective actions can be done as a species if any at all besides our self destruction. Heck, I’m disappointed we didn’t have a wave of HVAC filtration and retrofitting work given it has great benefits regardless of COVID or not. People getting sick is bad for the bottom line regardless of political ideology, but America with its cultural masculinity issues somehow equates every topic in health with physical strength or something else as asinine from our middle to the right.

There are different sciences and to me lock-downs are sound science from one branch while from sociology and psychology they were doomed to not work or be even counter-productive to the end goal. We already saw how lockdown and masking attempts from the Spanish Flu didn’t really work and I was hoping we would have learned from then. Evidently our most learned experts sometimes don’t learn the right lessons
Yes you can but sync time is still a problem, even today with the minuscule transaction rates supported on most chains. There will likely be advancements there but this is obviously a hard problem as we're already over a decade in with this technology and it has yet to be solved with any kind of approach that can still claim being fully secure and decentralized.

What I'm really trying to point out is that the vast majority of users do not care about centralized control. Even those that claim to pretty quickly realize that platforms with no ability whatsoever to filter content end up with universally objectionable content (such as CASM) and/or content otherwise illegal and/or regularly denounced (revenge porn, extreme violence/murder content, etc).

With centralized platforms today this has shown to merely create platforms that better align with someone's particular worldview while still exercising just as much (if not more) moderation and control.

I haven't read the article - I thought parent comment was suggesting this is based on excess mortality?
It was subtle in my message, but my other reason for disabling was to avoid random collection pauses when using emacs.

A sibling poster recommended GCing on deactivate, which is an interesting idea!

But again, I truly haven't been able to notice any ill effects of not GCing. I tend to probably leave emacs open for maybe a few hours at a time, so I guess in that sense I'm manually GCing. :-)
Maybe. But, the article didn't even attempt to make that case. It was simply "lockdown led to no car sales" which on its own is pretty meaningless.
True, although if you are lucky your cables run through cable ducts. My house was built in 1935 and has brick walls as well, but all cables run through plastic cable ducts embedded in the walls. Where I'm from this is very common, as virtually all housing has brick (or concrete) walls.
have a really good way of talking through how you handle async code and the difference between async and procedural code. Plus, how you can make async code read like procedural (async/await). I always give bonus points if you can describe clearly the difference between using ansync/await and then based promise code (not just saying "syntactic sugar", but actually explaining how the code looks different but yet how they are effectively the same).

How people answer questions around promises in general often gives me a good idea of where they are at in their JavaScript journey.
That thread is just ripe with bad communication across the board. It's pretty clear that none of you understand what each other is saying, but are very willing to infer.

Maybe try not communicating on twitter.
It just amuses me that one of the big differences between the US and EU is which floor is "first" and which one is "zero" or "minus one".

Only 3.87% of Tether was backed by dollars: https://siliconangle.com/2021/05/13/tether-releases-reserve-...

This isn't something one can actually recommend, right? It's not officially supported, probably not super well tested(?), could easily break at any point, won't work with various plugins/tools, etc.

It'd be great of WordPress supported SQLite officially but I don't think I'd recommend this approach to anyone for a real site, even a personal one.

The physical connector is unfortunately not an indicator that the hardware and software needed to drive an e-Ink display will be similar to an LCD. Sadly, e-Ink displays require custom drivers to function at all, and in particular partial refresh (needed to get sub-second updates) requires targeting known dirty regions of the display and updating just those…hence the extra ghosting in the higher-speed mode of most ebook readers & etc. that use EPDs.
The zero-Covid is just an excuse to manipulate the local (increasing wealth of citizens) and global (supply chain disruption) economic landscape. This should be obvious to anyone, but I guess is not, and some people still think this is about Covid.
> Restarting Emacs helps verify that customization will persist between sessions.

On this point I agree, but another (better, in my opinion) option is to hack in one instance and spawn a second to check the config changes you're making. You can kill and recreate the spawned one with less interruption to your work.
There are a multiple reasons why that won't happen in the real world, including but not limited to:

* The Ukrainian army is fighting ferociously to defend their land, not to invade another land.

* The Ukrainian army should not stoop to the Russian level. They have no imperial delusions.

* The west is generally against invasions of other countries, and this should cut both ways. The Ukrainian army won't get the same material support for a push deep into Russia.

* Russia is not a small country. An invasion would take a lot of resources. More so than a defence of home ground.

* While Russian use of nuclear weapons to invade would likely not be tolerated, use of nuclear weapons to defend against the same might be. It is a much more defensible action.

* if the Russian defeat in Ukraine is decisive enough, the "Putin problem" will be taken care of within Russia.
>Reality aside, there are millions of people in China who are alive today who would not be if they had followed the US' policy.

That is a bad argument with no bearing on the current situation.

As the virus has mutated the strategy to deal with the virus needs to change. Early on China's strategy was effective at preventing deaths (the costs to achieve this could be debated), but now the virus has changed and that strategy is proving to be a terrible one with a massive cost to the country and their population. The significantly higher transmissibility means that spread cannot be prevented (only controlled) and the availability of vaccines means that deaths are far less common now.
Everyone thinks it's a good idea and on paper it seems fine, however any time you centralize economic decision making you're basically inviting corruption. And even if you somehow avoid that, what's good for the majority often tramples the rights of minorities.

Capitalism has its downsides but "capitalism" is also basically just economic freedom, and 10/10 times I'll choose freedom over some bureaucrat making decisions that affect me.
So they did the work to split modules out of "core" for ease of development, and then completely mangled the versioning?
Exactly the point I was going to make. It's also relatively trivial to generate view statents from the schema of the object if required for analytics (not fast though).

Much better than a crazy ORM rat nest in my experience.
Sure but that doesn't mean it's under active development. Before that it was an ancient version of bash that hadn't been updated in years.
Bizarrely, I don’t think they have an exit strategy. They ought to be vaccinating all the holdouts, but I think the government there is afraid of a backlash if they force pensioners to roll up their sleeves.
> Nothing wrong with p2p.

The article doesn't imply (let alone say) that there's anything wrong with p2p?

To the extent that it says anything positive about p2p, it's rather positive. Unless you're one of those americans for whom "communist" reflexively aliases to "bad" I guess?
Text is very cheap.

>So it doesnt matter whether we get records from exchanges

It matters a lot. The rumor mill has it LFG directly rescued a few whales in the first sign of crisis. This is a very serious accusation I'd urge no one proclaim without definite proof.

If they concentrated their usage of the reserves to keep the peg earlier, possibly anyone selling below $1 would take an immediate loss and no noticeable depeg would even happen. The way it was handled is extremely useful information to markets and particularly to market makers.
No it didn't
Adding bidirectional lenses to “normalize” and “denormalize” data before it enters and after it exits a SQL database means you need to maintain those lenses separately from the SQL database schema. You would have three things to keep track of - the upstream data source (the thing supplying the JSON, might not be under your control), the lenses in your SQL client source code, and the SQL database schema.

Using virtual columns like this encodes the “normalizing” lens into the SQL schema in a purely-functional way. This seems like a pure win to me for clients that need to cache data but never update it. The client code can be a “dumb pipe” on the write side and just dump whatever received data into the SQL database. In essence, you are getting CQRS (command/query representation separation) for “free”, built into the storage system. Why spend the engineering cycles in the SQL client?

For a real world example - at Notion we have a SQLite database running in our client apps. Most of the rows come from the back-end API and serve as a local cache. There are some object properties the clients need to query, and other object properties the clients don’t care to query, but are needed to render the data in the UI, so it still needs to be stored locally. Over time, those needs change — as do the shape of the upstream API data source. So, we put un-queried object properties into catch-all JSON columns.

When we introduce a new query pattern to the client, we can run a number of different migration strategies to extract existing data from the JSON column and put it into a newly created column, or use a virtual column/index. Having the catch-all JSON column also means we can add an object property in our backend for web clients, and then later when we roll the feature out to native apps the data is already there - it just needs a migration to make it efficient to query.
This is a pity. It seems like a great language and I'd be keen to dive in more, but it seems fair to expect a math/numerical analysis-oriented language to be especially dependable wrt correctness.

Or perhaps more likely just Ukrainian propaganda.
Examples of socialism working, where working is defined as performing stably and accomplishing at least some of its intended goals:

- Norwegian and Texan state resource wealth being used to fund the welfare state. (Texas only has welfare for the middle class via educational funding. When the state funds education, that's socialism, even if you like educational funding.)

- National healthcare systems in most wealthy places except for America. They could be better, but they could be worse too.

- Cuba, which is a poor country but is not experiencing the kind of total collapse that the decline and fall of the Soviet Union made us expect out of every socialist country.
That's the point, it's not the same messages.

Each error wrap has a situation-dependent wrapping message, different for each wrapped error in the function.

Copilot is great at writing the whole `if err != nil`, including context-specific wrapping messages. It's also great at writing your code in many other situations where the intent is clear and simple, but it just takes a few lines to write in Go.

I'm not sure if you've ever used Copilot yourself, but it's basically autocomplete on steroids.

FWIW, I posted the other month that I'm looking for any devs who can help with building a multi-package documentation for SciML, since I don't think the "separate docs for all packages" ends up helpful when the usage is intertwined. SciML is looking for anyone looking to help out there (and there's a tiny bit of funding, though "open source sized" funding). In the meantime, we're having a big push for more comprehensive docstrings, and will be planning a Cambridge area hackathon around this (follow https://www.meetup.com/julia-cajun/ for anyone who is curious in joining in).

As for high level changes, there's a few not too difficult things I think that can be done: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/36517 and https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/45086 are two I feel strongly about. I think limiting the type information and decreasing the stack size with earlier error checking on broadcast would make a lot of error messages a lot more sane.
Live like a tsar, die like a tsar.

But more realistically, there will be no security for Russia's neighbors as long as Putin is in power. Which means that there will be no 'normal' for Russia as long as he is in power. And the people around him, at least some of them, can likely see that. It would not surprise me if there is already some movement in the Kremlin to force him out.
> There's definitely a feedback cycle here though. Swap your dazzling iPhone 14 Pro Max for an iPhone 4S and then change the display to greyscale and see just how fast this technological solution reduces your levels of distraction.

This worked for me. A few years back, I turned down everything (black background, no icons on home screen, no auto-wake on raise) on my iPhone SE (original version) and removed all social and mail apps. I’m still on this phone, both for this and for (small) size reasons.

Other than direct texts from people who need to reach me (which I liberally put into Do Not Disturb from time to time), I don’t get any notifications on my device.

It’s wonderful.

I eventually brought back Mail, mostly because I was using it for address references or communications during things like Craigslist transactions, but I no longer check it unless I’m looking for something in particular.

Along these lines, for all apps I install, I deny notifications by default, then consider (and often, don’t) enabling them for functionality that I need later on.

Though I don’t do as much as I used to (I’ve mixed in many other platforms), I do contract iOS development from time to time. I typically use my (also 5+ year old) iPad Pro for either iPhone/iPad development. When I need actual phone testing, while my SE is a little slow, the bigger problem I run into there more frequently is screen size considerations — even some of Apple’s apps assume you have more screen real estate and cut things off awkwardly.

> Of course as you say it alone isn't a panacea: doing that is painful. But live with the pain long enough, and you've now used technology as a crutch to change your brain to expect the distraction less.

Absolutely — a great way to put it.
Typed this search into Kagi and got:

- This results from an old site https://www.scanstore.com/Scanning_Software/Document_Managem... not sure if still relevant

- A bunch of discussions from reddit and other forums (probably best lead)

- One research paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/1403.3131.pdf

- Listicles grouped togeter so you can skip them

- The noncommercial filter gave a few more good results, but it seems like there is not much 'good' content written on this topic

I would definetely not call all Kagi results fantastic, but it does seem to be better than Google. We are trying hard to solve the problem of the nonsense on the web (Kagi founder here).
Yeah, I fully expected based on the description of the twitter interaction to see something really terrible, and from actually looking at it, it seems pretty mild. If anything, it seems like they went out of their way to try to bait the Julia creator and he had a fairly reasonable response to it. I'm not sure what could be considered "inflammatory" about any that.
