This is puzzling. What did they do with the money? Buy back UST? Something else?

Vast numbers of LUNA were minted during the collapse. There are now 6 trillion LUNA outstanding, currently valued at $0.0002246 each. Apparently the algorithm trying to support UST did so by minting LUNA.

Does someone have a timeline of the collapse? All the data should be available on blockchains.
Handling an error from close is a bad way to handle the error, because the file is already closed, so you are pretty much stuffed.

You want to call fsync() instead, and grab the error there, which will prevent you from being able to get an error from close() - see "Dealing with error returns from close()" in https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/close.2.html

If you get it on close, you have ~no idea which operation failed.

Obviously doing it on the operation allows you to wrap it up in the handling of the operation and allows you to do RAII (or DIRR as it probably should be known).

(The EBADF option is nonsense in a properly developed application, and should cause a panic. The EINTR position is just a mess.)
In a perfect social media world, there wouldn't be fake accounts. It seems to me by allowing fake accounts you introduce noise and confusion into the system.
That’s not true. FSD, the purchase, does transfer with the vehicle when sold. (During beta, sure, the new owner will have to enroll, but the FSD purchase is part of the vehicle's resale value now)

This is completely irrelevant if you can't sell it for USD.
Yes I am aware :) it is missing a few things but I might end up contributing.
That’s true but that’s what I meant by software has near zero marginal cost. Employees scale massively with cloud providers.

I mean a single sysadmin can automate and manage a million vms. So if the admin’s salary goes up 10% then that’s almost nothing in terms of costs for customers.

This is different from other brick and mortar businesses where the price of corn goes up 10% so the price of potato chips goes up 10%.
Rust has the same problem with dealing with strings where if you don't realize how you are supposed to handle it with unicode you'll get burned when you don't correctly access code points.

Edit: Also thank you for the answer. I have been curious about Julia even though I'm not a data science/ML type, but never find time. I do like to keep an eye on it though.

I think the only thing that matters is the miners. If the miners decide they want a change (like more total BTC to mine, or more BTC per transaction, or removing the difficulty halving) they'll fork it themselves and force everyone to move with them.

Short answer: repeat business and word of mouth.

Slightly longer answer: I've done this for a while (a decade plus) and suffered through my own periods of undercharging and making just about every mistake in the book, business wise. However, I always did decent work and was reliable. That's what matters most. Over time, I corrected my under billing using the technique described in my answer above.

I honestly see more CCP apologists on here than I usually see on reddit (though I don't hang around the places where I'd assume they usually comment I guess, with the exception of a certain popular gacha game subreddit). For example: try mentioning the Uyghur genocide here, you'll be surprised how many people come out of the woodwork to muddle the conversation.
I'm going to call bs on your claim that you "personally know two people who went into severe psychosis and depression".

Since we're in "my personal experience"-land, I've been meditating and have been around people who meditate daily for 26 years. Never seen or heard about anything close to what you describe.
The original form of meditation meant "to think" and the classical texts don't differentiate between "thinking" and "deeply meditating".

I don't personally care for the spaced out kind of meditation. I tend to focus internally and deeply on something I want to explore or feel.
See the piece about Quamina on my blog, it's the one before this one.
The reason why this 0 vs 1 based indexing debate is never resolved is because all of the arguments are subjective. You've claimed definitively that "humans got it wrong", but to back up this argument you've pointed to vague notions of "elegance" and "understandability". Even Dijkstra in his argument relies on a notion of "ugliness". All such arguments fall squarely in the realm of "preferences".

Just think about what you're saying: that natural language usage of the word "first" is wrong, and doing things the opposite way that everyone expects in programming languages is somehow more understandable? Really? Maybe that makes perfect sense to you, but not to people using the word as it's commonly used.

The example shows many fields which are stored in the JSON for each command. I wonder how the file size will blow up after some time. Also, how are duplicates handled? Looking at all the details which are kept in context of a command, removing duplicate commands seems not to be an option without loosing the rich context.
I just don't understand all the fetishism for go. At its core, its a brutally pragmatist language optimized for engineers who barely understand closures while running reasonably fast.

need a garbage collected native compiled language?/

- ocaml fits the bill and provides better type checking

need a fast as possible system?

- rust is faster and has much better abstraction for type checking. unless you're writing a throwaway or a very short lambda function, rust is almost always a better choice here as handling errors and maintaining the code is going to be more important overtime and go is just now getting its generics story straight

need a networking application?

- elixir (and erlang) do this so much better. it has 30+ years of high reliability networking built in and its about as fast as go. additionally, fault tolerance and error handling is so much better. I have real parallelism out of the box and async primitives that make goroutines look like a joke.

additionally, all 3 (ocaml, rust and elixir) give you proper tools for handling error branches. go downgrades you back to c style which works but means your code is going to evolve into a god damn mess as there's no way to separate your error path from your happy path

Literally the only place I see go making sense are small scripts that need to be written asap and wont' need much long term maintenance. for everything else, go seems woefully inadequate.
If it is close enough for a real bank in USD, it's probably okay for an exchange in bitcoins, right? If the bank/exchange maintains a 5% reserve, every unit of currency can produce a multiplier/velocity of 20. Bank loans substantially increase the ability of businesses to fund activity.

On the developer side I see the opposite: End users that are complaining can now deal with problem themselves without having to pester (or even find) the developer.

Anything that amounts to less pestering of developers is (probably) a good thing
I am a fan of SaltStack. With SaltStack approach, you don't have to write additional yaml to see the output of external command's execution.
You see / don't see the output of commands based on logging settings in your client (salt-call).

# EDIT: people pointed out that running ansible with additional -v's will indeed print commands. I don't understand how'd I missed that... I've certainly run ansible with -v a lot.

And my favorite part of SaltStack is that you can use jinja in any place of your states
As far as I know Signal voice calls are not illegal, and do not provide an ability to tap, and are p2p in network architecture.

> Institutional actors are transacting via backchannels.

As in, they are keeping funds on centralized exchanges? Users can do the exact same thing if they want, not sure I get your point.
The main selling point is that it's far more respectful of system resources than its big two competitors. Noticeably lower power use, reduced effects on performance of other software outside the browser.

If the rest of your stuff is also Apple, browser sync is a pretty solid Just Works thing, which can be a benefit of using it, but you're not all-Apple, so that benefit's out.

[EDIT] "So what are the downsides?" worse dev tools, worse add-on ecosystem. Sometimes it's missing engine features that FF and Chrome have (this never hinders me at all in practice, with my usage patterns, and in fact I'm usually glad when they choose not to uncritically and promptly implement every single feature Google adds to Chrome, but I understand it bothers some people a lot, so would definitely count against Safari if those features are things you really want/need)
Well it's actually a pretty bad transactional currency because it costs so much to transfer btc. So it's kinda the opposite, where people mostly hold it instead of transacting. The argument for a store of value is that of gold but easier to store and transfer, better security etc.. Whether it's a good one is for you to judge.
As someone who uses (and loves) Laravel, this looks very promising! I've been looking for an alternative to Laravel in NodeJS but found nothing at the same level of it. Looking forward to using Bud in an upcoming project (will be a REST API backend in Go).
I paid $8K for FSD two years ago and still not in the beta, but I stopped caring a while back. I still use Autosteer all the time.

LIDAR FUD is what everyone talks about the most by far, but I think these are the real, actual issues:

- Side pillar cameras simply do not give enough sight coverage of intersections, no matter what computer models say.

- Camera resolution needs to be a lot higher than everyone thinks. Think of how much harder it feels for a human to drive with even just a little bit of fog or rain.

- Project assumptions based on circa 2015 peak ML/AI hype. Classic development hell where rewrites/improvements are put off far too long.
Just the fact that these are team-oriented and not individual-oriented makes them above average valuable already
As a UK driver (left) who has driven in Spain and France (right) I'd say remembering which side of the road to drive on is easy when there are other cars around, less so when it's an empty country lane. Roundabouts are tricky. Also rules around priority can be different which is hard. Then you have to remember the customs can be different, in the UK flashing your lights means "after you" whereas in Italy, it means "I'm going", or so I'm told.
I know several people that use discord as their primary chat client. Aside from that lots of college kids use it for comms about classes, there are tons of discord groups for interests and hobbies. It seems like everyone I meet has a discord account nowadays. Anyhow, just wanted to point out that it’s not limited to game related chat.
>CEOs everywhere are _begging_ for their employees to innovate, be accountable and take risks

Executives like to say these things, but what they say and what they mean often diverge. The nail that sticks out gets beat down.

The Levenshtein distance from bullish to bullshit is only 3.
Disclaimer: This is probably going to make me sound crazy but perhaps it’s fitting.

In a deeply meditative state you can open up yourself to a spiritual state of perception. In this transcendental state you can attract other spiritual and ethereal entities. Not all of which are benevolent.

Lots of the meditative mantras, prayers and rituals perhaps are meant to ward off negative entities and even perhaps attract compassionate and positive spiritual forces

In a sense train yourself to open the door to different states of mind … this and of itself doesn’t equal enlightenment or happiness.
As I understand it, the main point of CAPTCHAs isn’t to keep out bots completely, but to give enough friction to make automated attacks or uses infeasible, while keeping the friction low enough that normal users can still use it normally.

Imagine you own a small company (I actually do) and the company's money is basically your money.

Now imagine who you want to pay to do stuff and how to measure them. The best way is to see their actual performance unfold before your eyes and use your own intuition. See who gets things done and who doesn't. Who needs more handholding and who can work more independently. Some workers are much better "deals" than others from a company perspective.
OMG I'm going to have to pay $6 for my $5 droplet now. The sky is falling!

For point of comparison, the increased annual cost is the equivalent of 3 Starbucks mocha lattes, or a single latte at any of their hipper indie competitors.

Nobody in either DO thread has actually suggested a competitor that offers the same product for less. (Hertzner is not comparable.) Of course switching to a VPS costs less; you have to do more of the work yourself. And if $12/year increase really is a backbreaker, you can go even cheaper by going straight to bare metal (i.e., self-hosted on your own hardweare).
Of course, other flow control options are available which also prevent this mess - e.g:

int failed = with_file("foo", |file|{
write(file, "bar");
});

fn with_file(char* foo, lambda: Fn(File)){
let f = open(foo);
if !f { return f; }
let err = lamda(f);
let cerr = close(f);
if !err {
return err;
}
return cerr;
}
Some languages (like D and Zig) distinguish between "error defer" and "success defer", which solves the issue above.

Not as automatic as RAII, but better than the single defer (which sucks).

EDIT: My personal preference is actually something like Python's "with" or C#'s "using", since they rely on "destructors" rather than explicit calls to close. But they have the exact same issue as simple defer. If you ever need to store or return the thing, you need to handle it manually instead.

In my own usage I almost never keep stuff open for long or store it in complex data structures where this is an issue in practice, simple "using" is almost always enough. Rust and C++ need RAII because they also manage memory like any other resource, otherwise it would get incredibly painful.

(Zig uses arena and pool allocators to manage memory, if you had to manage all memory with defers I think people would go nuts)
Again, there is no evidence to suggest that COVID transmission from wildlife happens other than in rare cases. Suggesting that it does happen because we just don't know is considered an argument from ignorance.

It's important to make these evidence-based distinctions because there are a variety of people looking to grab on to whatever they can to support their biases wrgt science and COVID.
It'd be funny if a crypto crash acted as a contraction in money supply thereby helping out inflation. Finally a use for crypto!
My key takeaways:

1. Almost all searches on my independent search engine are now from SEO spam bots

2. In summary, if they break through the current reverse proxy level protection, options include an invisible ReCAPTCHA (but given I’ve sometimes 160,000 requests a day I’d be well over the 1,000,000 a month free tier limit), requiring JavaScript as per the web analytics or some Cross Site Request Forgery style protection (but those would place much more load on the servers), or CloudFlare (but the searchmysite.net spider is still currently blocked by CloudFlare as per Some of the challenges of building an internet search)

3. If you were into conspiracy theories you could claim that the major search engines were trying to stifle the competition, but a more realistic explanation is simply that searchmysite.net is being drowned out by SEO spam

4. If I’d had a decent amount of real users visiting and never returning I could reasonably conclude that updating the blog wasn’t the most productive use of my time and effort, but without any real users in the first place it is hard to gauge whether people like it or not

My own independent search engine, https://www.locserendipity.com, is seeing similar trends.
In the above sentence, I think the first "know" should really be "no" :)
>so I optimize for razors that get the job done faster (more blades, easier to swap a new blade)

Razors like G. Mach3 or similar are neither really much faster nor better in any way (I compare them against my $25 "classical" metal razor "Timor Solingen 1322"). The fact that so many people think otherwise is a proof that marketing departments of G. or Edgewell (Wilkinson) did a very good job.
If humans always paid attention and followed traffic laws almost all crashes would be prevented.
>Please explain the mechanism by which a "bank" is able to transfer to you an amount of BTC that they do not have wallet control over?

BTC that's in an offline wallet is like cash under the bed; and you're right that no-one is lending money that they have under the bed.

However, a significant number of BTC owners don't keep their money in their own wallets - they keep it at an exchange, which almost certainly commingles it with other owners in shared wallets.

You can certainly take a maximalist position here and assert that the exchange is the real owner, because they have the private keys. The fact of the matter is that the real world includes a difference between legal and beneficial ownership; and has done since well before the existence of fiat currencies - because it's useful.
> In saying that, they imply that I, the arguer, 'A' in Bond's article, don't actually know what an index is (so how could I have a cogent argument about 'correct' indexing?).

That's not what they are saying. They are saying you know what an index is so well that you correctly put quotes around your usage of the term, because you understood it's not in fact a technically correct usage.

Now calling an argument poor form... that's closer to ad hominem.
You can pay your taxes with it at the very least.
Here's a comparison of some free clouds: https://paul.totterman.name/posts/free-clouds/
I don't know. This still feels heavy in the propaganda realm. Which... to be clear, propaganda works. Turns out, telling people directly how and what to feel is more effective than makes sense.

That is, looking at it as 2500 years of successfully developing what works is hiding a lot of the failure that has accompanied things in that same time span. Is akin to saying that the religions that avoid certain foods are on to something, because no way something like that would stick without a solid reason.

To that end, the folks you know that had a mental breakdown. Is there a counterfactual world where they did not have a breakdown by avoiding meditation? Or by picking it up with a new religion? My priors are low that that is the case, but I would be delighted to learn more.
Using `INSTEAD OF` or writing to a view implies that the SQL schema was designed with foreknowledge of the data that will be stored in the schema. These tools let you lens from one known, totally-specified schema (a "view") to another known schema (a "table") at write time. In contrast, the catch-all JSON column strategy allows us to store data the schema has no idea about -- or may never need to understand.

You're right that once we move a property from the "don't query, just store" category to the "query and/or update locally" category, we could use views/INSTEAD OF trigger to keep the JSON column and the normalized view in sync.
Interesting and new to me, at least.

There is no place I can see to give feedback. Perhaps the author reads HN?

I switched to fish and loved it. Then I realized there was no way to make the completion and matches case sensitive or non-fuzzy. On their github they say something like this would require the c word ("configuration") and they won't do it.

So I moved to zsh, enabled two plugins and borrowed a config. I have 99 percent of what I like about fish. It's quite awesome.

If anyone is looking to try out zsh, please please please don't start with oh-my-zsh. I actually went zsh-fish-zsh. My first zsh attempt being with oh-my-zsh.
“Analysis from the company shows that 52,189 bitcoins were moved to a single account at crypto exchange Gemini”

Out of a study of about a thousand people who were asked to start a daily meditation process (with weekly check-ins), about 20% reported at least one negative episode.

Now, that included everything from "feeling sad" to full blown panic attack.

I'll see if I can dig up that particular study. Here is a similar one which tracked longterm meditators:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1428622/

> However, of the twenty-seven subjects, seventeen (62.9%) reported at least one adverse effect, and two (7.4%) suffered profound adverse effects.
> Of course, that was the Cubans that invaded.

In the backstory for the movie it wasn't just the Cubans. The Russians directly led it, and also Mexico went Communist and the invasion actually proceeded from there, so I'd assume Mexican forces participated as well. That would have been obscured because the main antagonist characters were a Russian commander and a Cuban commander.
