Historically government backed currencies are are stable because they have two underlying components: an economy denominated in the currency and an implicit threat of force (e.g. standing militaries). It's one of the reasons the US dollar is the chief reserve currency around the world as well as the denomination in which oil is traded in.

You need dollars not because people have faith in them but because people have faith in the underlying institutions they represent. It's fine to claim you back bitcoin because you don't have faith in the traditional institutions but pretending that those institutions don't support dollars in a way that crypto/bitcoin isn't seems a little near-sighted.

Did Terra operators bail out crypto whales?
I'm fortunate that I live within walking distance of two supermarkets (5 minutes and 15 minutes, respectively). That enables me to walk to either and not worry about using a car (which I don't own) or locking up my bike. Plus the longer walk, with heavier bags, can be a pretty good farmer's walk workout :-)
Yes. This verge piece is not a good take. I can't imagine any comment along these lines that would be appropriate. Silence is sometimes the best way of showing sympathy.
generally speaking, computers are faster at performing calculations than humans. this can be beneficial for humans, as if they are able to convert a problem (for example, mapping the densities of functions over a 2D space) into a purely mathematical one, humans are able to save significant time and effort.
Big thanks to tekni5. I've been struggling with a move over to iCloud. I will still work through it, but it is no stress now.
It looks like Microsoft 365 Family will get you 6 users, 1 TB storage each user, a custom domain, plus a bunch of Office apps for $99 a year. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/p/microsoft-36...
I'd guess (limited experience) that local outlets (offline - e.g. trade shows - & online e.g. Craigslist ... ideas there too) might be better bets. When my SO made some knitted seasonal doorknob covers (crafts but still) and took them to a trade show, a lot of orders resulted. From there, word-of-mouth might help.
[July 2021] You shouldn't invest in the crypto currency?
Well, a program is a series of tokens, and what is GPT-3 good at? Generating tokens. While that's oversimplifying, I feel like we're closer to automated programming than we realize.
> Are you suggesting students and other people earning much less than 7 figures aren't supposed to be using a basic dev tool? Unless you have a very specific meaning of "aren't in the market for a diff tool".

What? There are plenty of free options out there – that’s why they’re not likely to be in the market for a paid tool. It requires an incredibly uncharitable reading to somehow get “students aren’t allowed to merge things” from anything I wrote.

I don’t think every tool needs to be free just because a price-sensitive part of the market exists, and I personally appreciate that there are, for what is a meaninglessly small amount of money for me, options in the market that invest in solving some of the jank that the free options bring with them. But some people aren’t doing this professionally and some people don’t notice the jank and that’s fine too – they aren’t shopping for anything better. I wasn’t either when I was a student. Free was fine enough.

> I don't imagine iron smiths had trouble with expensive anvils either.

I would suggest not looking at getting into blacksmithing, if you want to maintain this belief. Even if you don’t buy one, the raw material and fuel is a far far cry from free.
I mean when a language requires as much repetitive boilerplate as this one, replacing the suggestion with some kind of markup to generate it will pay off almost immediately.
The former relationship wouldn't play out IRL, since there's no authoritative "lost bitcoin registry" to signal to buyers that the supply has effectively decreased
What I mean is that Rust brings the ownership tracking of memory as a primary concept. With C++ that's more of an add-on. I should add that I'm an old time C++er and don't have Rust hands-on experience
ouch. unexpected lesson to be learned here...

Don't use browser password saving. I presume a third party app like bitwarden would have been better. though if the browser auto syncs and installs the extension your risk is a little higher.

I highly recommend taking a look at George Hart's work on linear algebra: http://georgehart.com/research/multanal.html , although I do think he misses the point (or at least insufficiently emphasizes) that you almost never want to work with linear maps that cannot be described by a set of units on each axis that are multiplied together to get the entries.

Sort of, but it's not the whole story.

They do use cairo for rendering to a CGContext via cairo_quartz_surface_t which has traditionally not been all that great on macOS. Additionally they're dealing with colorspace transforms on more recent macOS along with some bugs in macOS that were causing non-native applications to do considerable damage/redraws.

If/when Inkscape moves to GTK 4, a lot of this will just go away. The new macOS backend (which I wrote) is considerably faster and defaults to using the OpenGL renderer (which I also write a large portion of) but is also considerably faster when using Cairo by removing Quartz/CGContext from the equation and using Pixman directly with IOSurface.

When using OpenGL, however, we have to emulate something like eglSwapBuffersWithDamage() to keep the compositor from over-compositing, but that was done with tessellation just fine.
I hadn't seen this one before. This looks like exactly what is needed.
Fastmail is a really good choice. I've been happy with it. I use a wildcard for my personal domains, so I haven't tested how +suffixes work.
Lower wages don't make the developer's home and medical insurance any cheaper. The second the devs start adjusting prices, American devs with money to spare will turn on their VPN and pay a fraction of the price. The general public does this with stuff like Netflix and YouTube Premium all the time, it's not exactly uncommon. Companies that charge less according to average wages are being nice, but that's all just a choice to make sure they're at the top of their industry. Go to the supermarket and tell the cashier that you're entitled to a lower price because you only make minimum wage, see how that works out.

If you can't afford this product then you can just not buy it. You're not entitled to every piece of professional kit, especially a tool that's basically Meld with support for pictures and Office files. It's a luxury product, hardly a necessity, just like high-end smartphones or brand soda.

Furthermore, this is a piece of Mac-only kit so if you're in the market for this tool you're probably already using high-end hardware. If you can afford Apple, you can save up for Kaleidoscope.

I wonder if this affects all electric vehicles?
Yes: it's a full introduction that starts from scratch and lots of people have used it to learn APL and say good things about it. I do recommend the online update, as a lot's changed since the original version was published. For completeness, the other book I might recommend is the more recent Learning APL (https://xpqz.github.io/learnapl/intro.html).

My very biased opinion (as BQN's designer) is that it's easier to learn BQN and then APL instead of the other way around. BQN is more strict about a few things, which can avoid confusion, and APL's array model can be expressed as a modification of BQN's while the reverse is not possible. However, APL has quite a bit more material you can learn from. So I usually recommend trying the BQN tutorials and documentation, but switching to APL if you find you're not making progress.
Ive quit them long time ago when they did not adjust price to compete. They also had for a few years, inferior performance per dollar as others in same range.

Hm, I don't think online tools are that far ahead. If I look at the horrible experience, which is Google docs or MS Office 365, especially their word processing parts, they lack behind soooo much compared to a tool like Libreoffice. You cannot even properly use styles and, if I got a few $currency for every silly bug I encountered in those online half-assed tools, I would probably work half time only. If that experience is anything to go by for the design space, then I would rather work offline and without collaboration, than having to worry about my whole document getting completely messed up by some silly bug.
I'll preface this with that I am a believer in climate change, etc, etc, not trying to deny anything, but listing the #1 reason that the shoreline moved as "climate change" appears to be incorrect. The Outer Banks are a barrier island, and barrier islands naturally migrate over time; they have a general tendency to move rapidly and unpredictably. Another sign of this is that the Outer Banks, in the Rodanthe area, actually (net) migrated further from 1852 to 1946 than it did from 1852 to 2020.
I guess if you had a partner, someone could be in the parking lot looking for teslas being parked, then a partner could tail that person and relay over cellular to the first standing near the car?

I'm wondering what the point of this attack is. Any thief who wants in my car will just bust the windows. If they do the relay attack they can steal the car but the car has GPS and can be locked down remotely so it seems like a high risk low reward crime?
good job! MS
Why can't FOSS do this, though? There's no reason Inkscape couldn't work the same way, where a document lives in the cloud and users pass around links to it.

It does require someone to maintain and pay for the cloud hosting. That shouldn't be unsolvable; that's not really any fundamentally different than hosting a download site for traditional FOSS. Donation-supported FOSS can work.
Harbor Freight has nearly identical cases to the Pelican that are a lot cheaper. I recently used one mounted on the front of a bike that I converted to electric, with the battery and motor controller jammed inside. They occasionally go on sale, and I wiped out their inventory the last two times I went as they don't seem to carry a lot at once. Hopefully I'll get around to making a cyberdeck out of one.

This line of thinking about the future - large vehicles with nuclear engines - was what led to battletech/mechwarrior I am sure.

Ridiculous sized stompy robots powered by "fusion" engines and the default measurement for something is in tons - including targeting computers for projectile prediction.

The Pacific Rim-like awe and wonder is cool.(I am a mecha fan, however ridiculous it may be.) The actual effectiveness compared to other options is less so...
I am not ashamed to say I found it too difficult to learn.

Sometimes I do colored circles or something else easy at one of the free online sites but I just can't spare the time or mental energy.

It's a shame too, I have a laser engraver, SVG is made for that.
Not sure about Illustrator files, but I just tested out opening a multi-page pdf, and I was given the option to import “All” the pages, which worked perfectly. Very exciting!

I mean, I’m not relying on them. But this is at least a few more months of me not having to consolidate to single inboxes, to a different platform, or to have to pay $24 a month for low-volume personal email accounts that I dared to want a custom domain name for.
YES! I liked React components too but wanted something simpler so on my current project I've been using native browser Web Components/Custom Elements without any framework -- in fact, my project has zero dependencies on the client-side. It does need a few globally installed modules (typescript, webpack/webpack-cli, nodemon).

Requiring that javascript is enabled in the browser isn't a factor because my project relies on WebRTC, which requires javascript anyway. Its main value prop wouldn't exist with javascript disabled, so I'm just going to ignore that criticism.

To work across Chrome/Firefox/Safari, I avoided templates/slots by attaching the `ShadowRoot` and setting its `.innerHTML` to the result of a function that returns the html template literal string (where the function can fill variables in that string). I haven't tested this on Edge, but it works fine natively on the other browsers without any polyfills.

I love using Typescript without any client-side framework, but you might have different constraints than I do. Particularly when it comes to job search -- it seems that almost any front-end webdev position requires React/Angular/etc so you might find that it's a career-limiting move to go straight to plain Web Components as I did. I don't care because my main background is in mobile not web.
Yes, such as Wikipedia, for example.
framework has published all the pinouts and with the right adapter it should be possible to directly integrate any eDP display. I think this is a project I'd like to tackle soon as there are a plethora of good 10"ish tablet replacement screens out there.
Additionally, the tokenizer vocabulary is unchanged from GPT-2.

You can use HuggingFace's GPT-2 tokenizer as well. (some of OpenAI's GPT-3 notebooks do just that).
As someone who does a similar thing, I get this a lot. One of the most concerning (and common ones) is "oh, do you work here?".
Wouldn't it be better laying face down?
The point is that, when all is said and done, we’re supposed to trust them that it’s alright. But wasn’t that supposed to be the exact problem that blockchains were supposed to fix, remove trust from the equation? Why is it that people are so willing to trust them all of a sudden? It is contradictory and seems to me like pure tribalism. In the lack of evidence either way, I think we should assume the worst, not the best. This is what would happen if the same thing was done by a non-crypto company who disappeared with the money.

P.S. If anyone ever reads/replies to this comment I can predict that the answer will be: “yeah but that’s what wall street does, so what” So what, first of all it actually isn’t, but let’s assume it is: people invest in blockchains with the promise of descentralized trustless, so this means the promise was broken, because at the end of the day the whole thing is actually supposedly backed by a centralized trust-based fund (which failed horribly even so). In case people wanted to invest in centralized trust-based funds they have a myriad of other options with actual security features in them, and not just “I promised to do the right thing, cross my heart”. Now tell me something: what would you call a company that disappears with US$ 2b and promises to do the right if it wasn’t crypto?
There are people reading this forum who earn mid 6-figure incomes in Silicon Valley. There are others that are first-year students at, say, Nigerian universities (median income $ 800). $ 150 can mean an hour of work or 1 1/2 months.
This is a great idea. I'm shocked no one (to my knowledge) has tried this before. And I mean that in the best possible way, which is to say that great ideas seem obvious in retrospect.

I just hope it's largely installed in electric vehicles if they're going to drive around most of the time.

I think writing your own portable C functions is something every programmer wants to own at some point in their young career. Then you grow up and realize there are entire organizations that have spend tens of thousands of man-hours providing the same code, but done correctly and with intent (and consistent philosophy). GObject is that philosophy, but lots of people never hear about it until someone says "Why not use GObject?" :)
Repackaged man pages almost sounds surprisingly high quality for Packt. I've only encountered their content on O'Reilly's learning platform, so I've been lucky enough not to pay for any of it directly, but at this point I've been disappointed enough times that I just don't bother looking at anything they publish.
It requires a total redesign of the app and architecture. Being able to live stream edits in and conflict resolution.

But I think the biggest barrier is most FOSS enthusiasts consider web apps and collaboration to be anti user malware.

I'm a dev and I'm pretty comfortable with gimp and raster editors but I haven't spent enough time with inkscape or other vector editors yet.

This seems correct. If you click on "Show Options" it shows the palette w/ 256 colours (i.e. 2^8 bits). Each pixel is just an index into the palette.
Judging from the abstract, it looks like that paper talks about compute tradeoffs, but do they address memory tradeoffs? Because the context length limitations for (standard) transformers is holding them back from a whole host of applications, and memory being quadratic in sequence length seems like a hell of a cost to going from BPE tokens to characters.
Heh was trying this with a VR setup , would not say it was worth it/comfortable but that's my opinion.
In my scifi book series, I portray the stars as being significantly far enough apart the only reasons to come to Earth are 'study' which would eliminate possibility of intervention/reveal, "going for a party and doing something dumb" which would be instant reveals but almost certainly not going to happen. or in the guise of legit travel but for the most people nobody realizes earth has gotten sentient and space capable yet. Aliens very rarely come along to check on the planet.

In that we do have alien neighbours, the closest being the Methuselah star wherein the low metal richness was because they did a metal extracting project on their star. But they care about us as much as earth cares about a common bird. They have their own business to deal with. Nobody is travelling 190 lightyears to check on the cows.

I think this aligns with what I think about UFOs. There's no farmers who are being probed by aliens and its 100% of the time the farmer who makes crop circles.

But then these US navy UFOs came along and I seriously question wtf. This isn't lying, this is instrumentation and measurements of movement our current plane technology cannot do.

Are they martians? Well we haven't gotten there.

Is it new top secret tech?

F22 last delivery was 10 years ago. The F22 isn't for export because it's certainly better vs f35 or equivalent, keeps the usa in power. The B1 and F117 aren't operational or at least have their retirement date. B2 has a replacement coming.

Elon Musk said: https://www.forbes.com/sites/paulkennard/2020/02/29/elon-mus...

Seems obvious to me the US airforce has pilotless gen 6 up in the air. Stealth, tiny, and capable of far greater maneuvers than anything with a pilot in it. Could this match up with what we see in the us navy? I'm still not sure we have gotten there neither.

Flipside, could it be hostile top secret tech from an enemy? This i doubt. Typical operational range of most aircraft is short, screwing with us navy means it's us military behind it.
Yeah, there’s been mixed success on the custom domain part of that I think, otherwise I would have moved long ago because I get Office for $20 a year (former Microsoft employee), but I’ll definitely look into that.

I’m happy to pay. I’m not willing to pay $25 - $30 a month for basic email just because I want separate inboxes and a custom domain.
No way it’s 5% question is it 20% or 40-50%
I sure wouldn't use the harbor freight pelican knockoffs if I need a big case, they're too cheap and flimsy, but for a small case they're okay. You still need to pay the real pelican price if you are buying something bigger like a 1510, 1535, 1620, 1637.

The smallest one was recently on sale for $11.99 with foam and is great for small fragile things.

So let's say you have a reasonable doomsday requirement for maps. Why this thing, and not some paper maps? Or a kindle loaded with a bunch of street atlases?

I feel like you're looking at this from wrong perspective. It's not "how can this <thing> meet a requirement, but "what (combination of) things can best meet my requirements." The former will weigh you down with lot of albatrosses, the later may give you a usable toolkit.
You might be interested in Migadu or MXRoute. They both offer email hosting but billing is based on total storage and sent messages instead of per user, which makes it feasible for things like family vanity addresses.

I closed my GSuite account and migrated to Fastmail when the free tier shutdown was first announced. I’m glad I did. Fastmail does several things better than GSuite/GMail. It has a very nice UI. I was expecting a UI downgrade, but was pleasantly surprised.

Also, migrating (including setting up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC) was fast and easy.

The $50/year price difference is well worth it. I’m sharing this because I wouldn’t have switched on my own. But I should have migrated even before Google’s changes were announced. The competition has surpassed Google’s offering.
