OP here. Note to everyone visiting our forum via the link… you are free to make an account and comment there, if you wish. The forum is about “Web4” — moving beyond Web3 ponzi schemes with an emphasis on social impact and utility of crypto.

I have since added a comment there, emphasizing the broader danger for crypto:

If Tether drops this could undermine the thesis that Bitcoin and other similar cryptos are good stores of value, because currently their value comes 1% from their utility and 99% from the collective belief (HODL etc.) which is circular and self-reinforcing, similar to various religions etc.

The “full faith and credit of the United States” or the exchangeability of banknotes for gold isn’t the main factor that has been backing the money we use. Real-world currencies that enjoy mainstream adoption in a given area are actually backed by goods and services they can be exchanged for readily in a certain area. Not so for cryptos (excluding services of remote workers such as software developers, which does represent a serious economy).

Here is what we would need to do in order to move the crypto space towards web4 and finally gain mainstream adoption of crypto in the real world:

Nah, all he SPA apps I have worked on have had terrible performance. Way to many calls between backend and frontend. Way too much complexity. I am sure you could write them better, but server side rendering is nowhere near the bottleneck that SPA people seem to claim that it is.
A little while ago I tinkered with data URLs to carry a small 80's home computer program directly in the emulator URL, it worked well apart from the fact that the "payload" is limited to around 1.5 KBytes.

The navbar in browsers may accept more (up to 4KByte in my experiments), but other 'infrastructure' where the URL needs to travel through (for instance URL shorteners) may clamp the source URL to a much shorter length.

It would have been awesome to distribute ready-to-play emulator links for home computer scene demos without hosting the data anywhere, alas it didn't work except for very small demos :)

They are backed by real dollars that they have in cash reserve in a bank. At least in theory.

What is currently happening is because of too much volume they have hard time putting more money back into the ecosystem (which is the good scenario, it means they have money but things are going just a bit slow), or they are running out of money (which is a bad scenario that would cause many things to go down with it).

Did they state as much in official state communications, or are you inventing this position on the basis of a prejudiced narrative?

Remember, you are only being allowed to see one side of this conflict by your states own information-control apparatus. To assume you know the truth in such conditions is fallacious.
Google doesn't let you pay for support for a lot of their products even if you wanted to. The nail in the coffin for me is how YouTubers with millions of subscribers who generate thousands of dollars for Google can't even get good support themselves. The fact that these problems continue to happen year after year tells me that Google doesn't really care.
I agree with your daughter.

No chance in hell I will use a wireless headset.

I was gifted a wireless headset some years back, but I have always used it with wire.

I do not want to charge another thing. There are already too many things that I have to charge.

Will not use earbuds because I tend to lose things inside my house. They are impractical on the road while walking or on public transport.

Not to mention wireless ones drain phone's battery faster.

I use a Linux OS as my daily driver, and it tends to cause problem wrt being in perfect sync.

I have quite an high-end Philips wired earphones and that mid-range wireless one that I always use wired.
Not always no. smartphone software often abstract away that process.

Plus even in those instances where links are manually copied and pasted, you're still overestimating the competency of the average user to identify the risk of state in URLs even when it seems bloody obvious to us technical folk.
Tether the company guarantees it will buy all tether for $1 each. The drop in price reflects people suddenly realizing they can’t do that if everyone tries to turn in their tether at once.
This is a good next step in mapping musical space, yes.
There is none. The play was to short companies linked to crypto on real exchanges - a bit late for that right now.

If Tether goes to 0, probabilities are, your winning bet on a crypto exchange is worthless anyway.

I heard the rumor that, starting with Zen4, AMD will include an embedded GPU in each and every CPU using the new socket.

This will end this situation, and give a nice bump to AMD's market share in e.g. Valve's steam client statistics.

These days, the performance of the embedded GPUs is already pretty usable, even allowing for running heavy videogames on lowish settings. They've been increasing the performance considerably (30-60%) on each generation for several generations.

>Keep in mind that not all brown people are the same. Especially considering the kind of racist violence some white men inflicted on the Jews in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. Perhaps, it is unsafe to let white people dominate a culture. The risk of holocaust and genocide is ever present. It's great if some non white culture is introduced in the society to keep the keep the genocidal tendencies of "white" culture in check

Your post is predictably combative so I don't know if you're being ironic here or if you are acknowledging these increasingly common and overt intentions, but in any case you are generalizing all of Europe and today's culture based on the actions of Germany 80 years ago. This is textbook racism. I'd remind you that some 50MM+ white european allies died opposing the nazis.

>You can do your part by not making the bigotry so easy to spot.

This poor substitute for an argument demonstrates my point.

>I thought we were discussing US immigration. Columbus was an accomplished rapist too. Or do rapes by white men not count?

Again, textbook racism. Generalizing all of modern day Europe based on the actions of a small minority from a selection of countries. In any case this is another deflection and says nothing about the modern day increase in documented rapes and assaults. An academic who tried to report on it was placed under investigation [0], so it seems that institutions really do share your fervor in denying inconvenient truths. Almost like people are using equality as a trojan horse for petty revenge.

But they're not cheeky MITM proxies, it's the way HTTP traffic inspection is done. Even if the right to inspect your traffic was legislated, it would need to be compatible with existing MITM tooling.

Why am I suddenly getting the "just go get some legislation" treatment? I could just as well give you a lesson about how trying to prevent corporate MITM middleboxes with technological means is a lost cause and you should just work on getting some legislation to prevent it.
The amount of additional complexity from a C extension is dramatic in any sort of Python application. and the performance hit from having to pickle all objects that you would like to share between processes when using multi-processing is significantly non-trivial.

If that is meant to be a joke, it’s actually quite funny. Good job.

If you meant that seriously, it’s extremely poor quality advice. Leverage is neither free nor cheap. And taking 100% leverage is obscenely risky. Your characterization of it as ‘risk free’ is the most dangerous part. At 100% leverage, small swings could lead to calls you simply cannot afford.
Replying to myself: in striking arts, one great solution is promoting a culture where light sparring (e.g. Thai style sparring) is preferred to hard sparring (e.g. Dutch style sparring). In most combat sports, competition is not that frequent and more than 99% of the time a practitioner would be doing either technical training or sparring.

In the graph: "Housing Units in the United States", one should point out that number of "Housing Units" is an upper bound on number of "Households".

A gap between "Housing Units" and "Households" indicates some slack. When these two curves coincides, everyone is buying at the margin.
Can someone explain the CVS 2021 46102 bug? Various sources tell me it was an integer overflow in some Rust. The faulty line was:

let addr = (sym.st_value + refd_pa) as u64;

I guess, the + is evaluated using 32-bit arithmetic and then it is cast to a u64, and thus overflow is possible? And in release mode, Rust doesn't trap integer overflow.

Shouldn't something as critical as the EBF compiler be trapping integer overflow?
Fully agree, there is no "you should" in my opinion, because you weren't ready or expecting such behavior. Call it a lesson for future interviews :)

Next time you see this behavior you can tell them very politely and calmly that you are not interested in joining a company that promotes this behavior, you are incredibly sorry for taking their time and that you would like to terminate the interview now.

Two outcomes: you wake someone up and they kindly ask you to give them a chance because this behavior will be dealt with, or you are saving yourself from a bad employer.
I was a little baffled by the (legally void, and thus pointless) cookie notice on the site -- a site that clearly does not need cookies in order to "operate correctly". It clearly states that they use Google and other 3rd parties who set cookies, and that these are "necessary for the site to operate correctly" which appears to me to be a nonsense, since it's just a static text page. Tracking cookies are certainly not "necessary".

The “Rent vs. Buy” Dilemma
Matt Levine did a great write up of algorithmic stablecoins here: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-05-11/terra-...

"1. You wake up one morning and invent two crypto tokens.

2. One of them is the stablecoin, which I will call “Terra,” for reasons that will become apparent.

3. The other one is not the stablecoin. I will call it “Luna.”

4. To be clear, they are both just things you made up, just numbers on a ledger. (Probably the ledger is maintained on a decentralized blockchain, though in theory you could do this on your computer in Excel.)

5. You try to find people to buy them.

6. Luna will trade at some price determined by supply and demand. If you make it up on your computer and keep the list in Excel and smirk when you tell people about this, that price will be zero, and none of this will work.

7. But if you do a good job of marketing Luna, that price will not be zero. If the price is not zero then you’re in business.

8. You promise that people can always exchange one Terra for $1 worth of Luna. If Luna trades at $0.10, then one Terra will get you 10 Luna. If Luna trades at $20, then one Terra will get you 0.05 Luna. Doesn’t matter. The price of Luna is arbitrary, but one Terra always gets you $1 worth of Luna. (And vice versa: People can always exchange $1 worth of Luna for one Terra.)

9. You set up an automated smart contract — the “algorithm” in “algorithmic stablecoin” — to let people exchange their Terras for Lunas and Lunas for Terras.

10. Terra should trade at $1. If it trades above $1, people — arbitrageurs — can buy $1 worth of Luna for $1 and exchange them for one Terra worth more than a dollar, for an instant profit. If it trades below $1, people can buy one Terra for less than a dollar and exchange it for $1 worth of Luna, for an instant profit. These arbitrage trades push the price of Terra back to $1 if it ever goes higher or lower.

11. The price of Luna will fluctuate. Over time, as trust in this ecosystem grows, it will probably mostly go up. But that is not essential to the stablecoin concept. As long as Luna robustly has a non-zero value, you can exchange one Terra for some quantity of Luna that is worth $1, which means Terra should be worth $1, which means that its value should be stable.

All of this is, I think, quite straightforward and correct, except for Point 7, which is insane. If you overcome that — if you can find a way to make Luna worth some nonzero amount of money — then everything works fine. "

Modernizing AWK, a 45-year old language, by adding CSV support
> I never really have issues with the JS side of things, care to elaborate on what specifically is "terrible"?

Packages are usually poorly tested (and the fact that it's dynamic language does not help), upgrades are often and painful, the tooling is not very stable in my opinion.

Before settling for Flutter, I've made a limited version of my app in both ecosystem to try both and on the RN one, I already had upgrade issues only after a month...

> Generally what breaks RN is the same stuff that breaks Flutter, native tooling like CocoaPods, Gradle, etc.

You need much less native tooling in Flutter since almost everything is canvas based. Broken stuff on the native part is very rare, I can't really remember anything like this from the past 3 years. I had to upgrade the graddle version once but that's about it.

I have ~30k lines of dart excluding tests and about 15 lines of Kotlin (and zero in ios), that's the kind of ratio we're talking about.
> For example you render with php and then you have some jquery that gives interaction.

Yes, that is how we (used to) do things: look up progressive enhancements.

> none of my smart peers had anything to say, either.

It's because they know. I think everybody knows that crypto is a bubble. I think everybody believes everyone else that buys into it is dumb, financially illiterate, whatever. The crypto market has been propped up and boosted by an influx of people like that, each one knowing it's a bubble, believing everyone else is an idiot... but still wanting a slice of the pie, just in case there's another big wave coming and they will make it rich themselves. It's an interesting study in idk, doublethink? Self-delusion? Wishful thinking?

Self-neglect of the EU for “good causes” outside the EU is a well-established pattern with the media and political elites and also in significant parts of the financially comfortable middle class.
