If these are good opportunities to bolster the credibility of BTC et al., the community must just do a very poor job of capitalizing on those opportunities. It is strictly a bad look to have headline after headline affiliating this entire economic sector with fraud, and frankly the shills’ reactions just make the headlines even more unflattering.

That's another way of saying it is a more legitimate scam which is why it has lasted longer. You are correct.

They still exist -- they are most often called Chromebooks now, but you can put Windows or Linux on most any of them.

There are also other Chromebook-like netbooks that run some "lite" version of Windows called "S Mode", but I've never seen one in person.

EDIT: I’m wrong and need to pay more attention. See comments below.
Who cares about Activision or Square-Enix? It's not going to be Activision that is going to build the blockchain-powered generation of gaming platforms. It's going to be one of the many small dev teams that wants to find a way to disrupt the market.
1. This shouldn't be flagged, it is important that we discuss lab safety as it might be the cause of the pandemic. It might also not be and we will likely never know but it is still important to discuss.

2. Not just China, all countries have abysmal lab safety. This is the most important point. This is not a solely Chinese issue. The US and Eu countries also have lab safety issues and we've been lucky so far.

Please stop flagging comments that raise it unless they are truly xenophobic, which this one doesn't seem to be.

I agree, even if the comment was made as a joke. All this wasted effort on covid zero policy could have been directed towards locking down lab safety, shutting down unsanitary markets, and preventing other human/animal cross infections.

Not sure if you live here but I have for about 10 years and I highly appreciate this. I looked through the archives and the few things I was familiar with are the type of things that I only really hear about through word of mouth from very cool people, so I appreciate having that type of stuff curated in one place
Where were they offended?
Oh did I imply it should be forced for everyone? That wasn't really my intention.

But yeah, I probably have to talk to my supervisor about it.
I've noticed people starting to use the term 'socialise' when they mean 'to share': 'And then we'll socialise these information products with stakeholders' instead of 'I'll email some documents to the managers'.

Because they think it sounds cleverer heh
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but does anyone have experience with Hostinger? I want a VPS and am looking between Hostinger, DigitalOcean, or Hetzner.

The only reason I'm entertaining Hostinger is because I'm Canadian and want to support a Canadian company if it's a reasonably priced alternative.

A plea for more realistic job postings
First, note that each successive technical requirement, such as Ruby, git, or Jenkins, yields a unique combination of technical stacks. One company may substitute Python for Ruby, or Perforce for git, or GitHub Actions for Jenkins. As the number of technical requirements in a job posting grows, the likelihood of any candidate to have experience with the complete technology stack drops to zero. Even the most imminently qualified candidate is going to hit the 10% to 1% match mark, as the list of technologies grows and grows.

Recruiters do not always understand this. Managers who post such listings certainly do not understand this. The unfortunate young developer new to the hiring process almost certainly does not realize this. And yet the trend continues.

Technology is easy to learn. After all, technology has free tutorials available. Programming concepts are far more difficult to learn, hence why we have collegiate degrees. In the future, we can place a ceiling on our enthusiasm for the perfect candidate in terms of just a handful of technologies. And structure the interview questions so that they probe the candidate's ability to reason about fundamental programming concepts. Instead of regurgitating (or lying) about tech familiarity.

"But what about candidates with zero version control system experience, or zero CI/CD experience, or zero (insert app language experience)?"

That's what 3-5 years experience in software engineering should already supply. Don't restate your requirements twice.

In my experience, multiple jobs have strayed from their officially posted tech stack as time marches on. This is to be expected. Though no one bothers to update the job posting with the new details. Many still advertise Bush Jr. era buzzwords like "SaaS", for example.

Yet other pernicious employers will straight up lie about technical stacks. I've taken more than one job that advertised Go coding but turned out to be Node.js. Go to hell.js. No individual in the hiring process, not the manager, the recruiter, nor the candidate, can act reliably on these overly detailed job postings.

And I've yet to find a job that didn't pay lip service to Agile/Scrum, it's not worth the ink. Tell us what your company does. Tell us what makes your dev department special.
I did this solely to collect data for a personal project I am doing. My last post (on Instagram) had 10 views, so from that standpoint, I gained nothing, however, I did learn lots of valuable insight into the realm of fake followers for which I will make a blog entry detailing my findings soon.
to a naive kid, this sounds like a great idea - humans are pretty much vision-only, so cars should be able to do the same! makes me feel like there are a lot of naive kids over there. I know they have some geniuses, I'm just saying how the decisions look from the outside.
sorry, lazy typing, i really meant both as you said it. and i still disagree. yes, there are differences, culturally and maybe even class wise, but not in a way that they can be generalized, at least not until you get to a very local focus.
no, it doesnt make any sense, because he is going to get himself assassinated or there is going to be a revolution if they keep this up.

there is no way, unless the government bureaucracy is orders of magnitude more deranged than we've thought, that destroying the country and the global economy is worth less than saving face.
In Postgres there is a family of INSTEAD OF triggers that allow you to do all this lensing within the database so that the application can have multiple views of the data that all resolve to a single normalized structure internally but present in a variety of ways. To my googling knowledge SQLite also supports INSTEAD OF triggers - is there a benefit to using the predefined JSON columns instead of writing the data into an actual normalized structure and then zipping it up at read time or during the regeneration of a materialized view?
I use them and they’re a joy to use. Dashboard is just as simple.

No managed databases or kubernetes clusters though. Hoping that’s in the works as it will really level up their offering if they do.

Doubts about Viewpoint Diversity
I think you misunderstood their response. They are saying that the study has an unusual definition of "active", and that your need to clarify the definition proves that it is unusual.

Though personally I think filtering specifically for users that actively send tweets makes sense, since that's really what matters when it comes to measuring how healthy and authentic the discourse is
Why would it need no one wanting to have the positions? I just said that of the ones that do want it, the one that happens to succeed needn't necessarily succeed because of their cunning scheming - they may just have been lucky.
The question is: is it at least as fast in all situations?
Was it always that way?

The 1 to length loop just has to initialize a local variable and step it; it cannot do anything else. It doesn't worry about the kinds of array that A may be, with its particular configuration of indexing, right?

You may promote a culture of not doing certain things, but that by itself won't make those things disappear from existing code.

Say you're trying to ship some product and you receive a bulletin from the language mailing list encouraging you, "try not to use @inbounds, it's a hack around a dumb compiler". You know you have that in numerous places; but you're not going to stop what you're doing and start removing @inbounds from the code base. If you're remarkably conscientious, you might open a ticket for that, which someone will look into in another season.

I hit 1 million over a year ago and all of them are still there. Besides a few -3k drops a couple months ago, 99% are still there.

Twitter is different, they seem to have a more robust banning system in place. Instagram, not so much.
What's the cost at the cross over though?

If it switches at $10 worth of bandwidth, or even at $20, is that REALLY that much?
The 20% interest was just a short-term user acquisition scheme, funded by some of the initial LUNA tokens. I don't think anyone claimed that it was sustainable.

A Ponzi would be if Anchor used users' deposits to pay out the 20% rewards, which isn't what happened here.
You could just not do scripting in ansible playbooks and instead leave it as a declarative configuration.

PS Shame on you Radxa for naming your module CM3, shame. There will be a flood of RK3588 based devices on the market in the next 6-12 months. A low end PC would replace 10s of these devices.

My point was that a 4 vcpu instance is overpriced and also a very small amount of compute. Most cloud costs are 1/3 to 1 of price of hardware, per month.
I've never been seriously threatened with being measured by these metrics, but I have said that if I ever am, my next work task will be some code that takes a single commit and turns it into one commit per line of code changed.

If anyone complains, I will take the extra time to turn it into one commit per character of code changed.

You want commits? I can give you commits. It's not what I'd really like to do, but by golly, I can do it. Commits by the thousands, by the millions (whoops, did I just import a library and run my code over it? sorry), anything you like.
> UPDATE:…

Let me know when you do!
If you could isolate everyone in the whole world for 3 weeks, you would cut down on a lot of infectious disease as most individuals would beat their infection in that time and little transmission would occur.

However, you still wouldn't fully eliminate infections because some people would not beat their infection in that time. They might sustain an infection for longer because of their own health, e.g. they could have an immune disorder or be on immunosuppresant meds.

Of course you can't actually do that because (1) the whole world's human population is incapable of coordinated action on this scale, (2) there would be lots of very valid exceptions -- e.g. are you going to split up a family with 10 kids or kick very ill people out of hospitals?, and (3) lots of people would try to cheat and many of them would succeed.

Basically we should be aiming for maximal vaccination, good treatments, constant monitoring, and good non-pharmaceutical interventions (e.g. ventilation, masks in crowded places). Lockdown-type measures should be used when there is the possibility that critical healthcare infrastructure could fail under excessive load, i.e. things like childbirth and broken legs could become dramatically more deadly.
LUNA minted trillions of brand new tokens within the span of a day or so rendering the token worthless. This is due to the way LUNA was tied to the algorithmic stablecoin UST. It was a true ponzi.

BTC's max supply is capped and the release schedule of new coins is fixed and predictable. There is no possible way that trillions of new bitcoins could suddenly be created.
I'd agree that the vast majority of people owning a Tesla would not be good beta testers.However, I do think some would be worth while, but because you have no valid way of weeding out the bad ones the candidate poole should not be used.

The other alternative would cost Tesla so much to hire professional drivers with full understanding of what Tesla's FSD does/does not do in large enough numbers of cars and various environmental conditions to gather enough data in a fast time frame. That is NOT an excuse on why to turn it loose to the public.
You're just making it worse.

Using mass produced PV power, which is the cheapest energy ever produced in history, and uses Quantum Physics effects to turn sunlight into electricity is in your opinion not 'industrialised, technological, high-energy'? How can you type that with a straight face in 2022?

Oh, what's this one you slipped in at the end as if it belonged amongst those other words, "fossil-fuel dependant". Yeah, it's not that, because, it turns out, CO2 pollution is bad, even worse than all the other pollution they've caused.

> And until all energies used to extract and process these materials come from renewable conversions, modern civilization will remain fundamentally dependent on the fossil fuels used in the production of these indispensable materials. No artificial intelligence designs, no apps, no claims of coming “dematerialization” will change that.

What was he trying to convey with this paragraph that closes the article?

I mean he's literally saying that until we get to net zero, then we will still be burning fossils fuels. Okay that's true I guess. But he sounds weirdly happy about it, like he's proved someone wrong about something. Maybe some person he's argued with that held the incredibly esoteric opinion that not renewable power, efficiency, insulation, and pricing in externalites was going to replace fossil fuels but 'artificial intelligence and apps'???

I mean that's an absurdly strawman position to attack, and I'm still not sure that Smil is even right about that. Technology is kind of a big deal in a lot of fields. AI gets used to enhance oil recovery for example. Is his closing argument literally "Old man yells at the cloud."?
Not really. Even early on cars were quite fast and priced around the same as horses and a carriage, and without the hassle of dealing with horses. They did tend to break down a lot but were quite usable.

Tesla FSD is much, much worse than just driving oneself when taking into account the risk.
Putin: Finland joining NATO not a threat
My recollection is that Keynes was very good at investing.
Yeah, it's a bit strange to claim this. NATO has never taken membership from a country actively involved in conflict and Ukraine had been left out of NATO specifically to not inflame Russia.

Putin is obsessed with reunification and anything that doesn't give him that, he isn't interested in. He'd roll tanks right up to the Berlin wall if he thought he could.
1) Can anybody answer how much car storage and parking is optimal?

2) I'm open to a contrary opinion and good argument, but it seems like cities are in no rush to really solve any car storage and parking needs for 2 main reasons: parking tickets print cash for them, and there's an idealogical dislike of cars so it's not a problem they really want to solve.
The problem with all of these metrics is that they assume that there's an engineering team, or someone on an engineering team, somewhere that's not doing shit. Whether the business believes they're not doing shit because they refactor more than they write features, because they release twice a year instead of every week, or because they have less frequent merges. The entire emphasis of measurement is squarely a technical one which comes from the (management) belief that some engineer somewhere isn't contributing and that's bringing the team down. I've rarely encountered these kinds of engineers, much less teams, and designing an incredibly painful system that senselessly costs people their jobs and livelihood all in the hapless pursuit of identifying them seems fraught.

Where these metrics would be useful is if the business actually looked at itself first when teams or team members underperform. In all honesty, I've never met a manager with this kind of mindset; they're usually captured by the belief of the above in some way.

Businesses do have an old way of determining whether a team is meeting its goals: KPIs. If the team is responsible for a succinct domain, problem, or stack then these KPIs are easy to draw and measure against because they reflect business outcomes rather than trying to normalize for how everyone on a team contributes.
I think it's like a government backed strike or lockdown. The CCP is getting tired of the US Government bullshit where independent states or the federal government crazily ban or allow Chinese products for whatever crazy bullshit reasons and they change it every couple of months.

In the chemical industry it's pretty bad. Some stuff I know shops in China refuse to synthesize anymore because it's like they tool up and then they can't sell it anymore to anyone because some US agency bans its import.

Of course if they also stop making phones everyone gets mad.
The whole concept of kagi is to be a paid service (is still in beta and for now it's free AFAIK), so you pay money instead of having ads or the search engine selling your data, use the service that suits best to your purposes and philosophy.
Oof. Hard disagree on that one, way too black & white of a position for me in the face of such a broad concept as "data".
Governments - and to a greater extend Dictatorships - are very rarely rational when it comes to saving face or keeping grip on whatever little power they've managed to grab for themselves.
Formal eviction is not the only option to get rid of someone. The other member states might create circumstances (sanctions...) where Turkey would have to leave NATO "voluntarily".

Another option is if a member state were to commit genocide. In that case the alliance might dissolve and the other members might instead band together and attack that member. Hypothetically speaking.
Discord is registered in California, so it would concern them even given limited GDPR enforcement. Data size matters since it changes, and there is information even in the knowledge of no change happening. I would rather not share my location, and I do not understand how that would help given I have already contacted my DPA.

No matter how fast the parsing is — queries are going to be slow.

For example, on 1M rows table with very simple flat JSON values like these:

{"object": "user", "object_id": 10, "action": "login"}

Without index, this query is going to take 500ms or more:

select * from events where json_extract(value, '$.object_id') = ?;

With index on json_extract(value, '$.object_id'), it is going to take 1ms.

But then how will non-technical managers justify their salary?
That work is great! Let's have more of it. Trolling social media companies on the other hand only serves the ego of sensitive billionaires and their superfans.
You are thinking of Discord like IRC. It's not. Think of Discord like a forum/wiki instead. That better represents what Discord is, and how people generally use it.
I saw people verifiably 5x catching the bottom, I have seen nothing of 500x at all.

When something has an r similar to measles, ie naturally spreads to 12-18 people, it's probably not just people you are in contact with who can catch it from you. Perhaps particles sit in the air and float really far, or door handles, that kind of thing that might mean eliminating contacts doesn't even help. Basically you won't even know why infected you when rates are that high.
I am sure this is not because Russian oligarchy is trying to move all the stolen money back into Russia because of fear it being confiscated in the west.
Oh for sure. There were tacit agreements between engineers. Splitting MRs into 3 for "readability", adding nits that explicitly "could be fixed without another iteration", having your personal testing repo be public so any random commits you dump in there count.

And then on the even worse side, you have Amazon's stack ranking coming into play. Engineers can screw each other by blocking merges with needless comments, slow dripping reviews (eg problems that were in iteration 1 aren't brought up until iteration 3).

I won't deny that maybe I'm a paranoid person and that I read into patterns that weren't there sometimes. But the fact that those patterns could exist was enough to hurt my mental health to the point that I wanted to leave.
What’s down the road for silicon?
I am not advocating that people run k3s on raspberry class hardware, just that GP is overpaying for what they are getting. An Ebay server machine colo'd would be several orders of magnitude more capable at the same cost.
