My only problem with this is that Apple form factors/OS choices are limited.

I want a tablet dumb terminal because:

- when I'm working I'm plugged into a monitor 99% of the time (with dedicated keyboard/mouse)
- when I'm traveling/consuming media/couch surfing/shopping with wife - tablet is much more convenient

But I can't really use iOS for work - iPad pro would be perfect otherwise.
Depending on the political leaning of the writer - different types of Mass Shootings are lumped together.

Buffalo was a terrorist event, no one lumps in 9/11 with plane crash figures and writes an article saying "We have high point of X plane crash deaths in 2001" - because that would be intellectually dishonest.

Of the 198 events, how many were related to criminal/gang shootings & how many were random/terrorist type events.
A crypto-euro would of course be "an an entirely different ball game" because what else do eurocrats yearn for if not the holy grail of dystopian surveillance power, with it's "blockchain" being a centralized DB with every single financial transaction of yours.

In Estonia, you can link a phone number to your IBAN. When making payments, the sender just needs a phone number, and the corresponding IBAN is automatically looked up. (The lookup service is managed by the central bank, and used by all (major) banks.)

The idea of HTMX is to mostly eliminate JS, and move everything into either HTML or the server. It's kind of like old fashioned <form>s, but for all elements and for more dynamic pages.

This allows the frontend to be simpler, while the backend is ironically also less complex because the only special feature you need is support for sending partial HTML (fragments). This as opposed to needing to embed your entire frontend framework in your backend to allow your website to load in a reasonable time, run in browsers with JS disabled, be easier to crawl, etc.

That said, do you have a link to your frontend framework? I always enjoy seeing different approaches to the same or similar problems.
> ”there is no underlying assets to act as an anchor of safety.”

As opposed to the Euro. Right?
Full quote from the article:

My very humble assessment is that it is worth nothing. It is based on nothing, there is no underlying assets to act as an anchor of safety.
I understand it. It's just that there is a lot of uncertainty. Ultimately I think that different people value things differently.

To some people something is worth what someone is willing to pay them for it at the current moment.

To others it's worth whatever it is in the story they have concocted in their head.
Bitcoin only has value to transfer or store money as long as it has value. See problems with that circular logic? If faith in BTC is lost, all its value is also permanently lost. It's even worse since a lot of crypto price is driven due to speculation that it will increase in price.

This is a much worse situation than with fiat money, since there is a government and economy backing fiat, e.g. you have to pay taxes in the local fiat if you want to do business in a country.

If I magically set the value of BTC to $0.01, it will never recover. If I do the same with €, people will quickly convert to a lot of € to buy things, driving the price back up.

Back to the old days when you had to learn from working in the industry what the best equipment is and how to use it. We used to have to read trade magazines to find out about new developments. Probably you need to subscribe to whatever the trade magazines are for the reprographics industry and browse their archives to find out what machines are available then you need to speak the sales team of the relevant company.

Among many reasons why exchanging an IBAN and submitting a SEPA transfer in the EU is so cumbersome is that there were at least two standards to encode those details in a QR code.

The colorful stripes are more likely the decompression routine hammering dff180 (the background color) as a "busy signal" for the user. The Amiga has "chip RAM", which on many unexpanded machines is also the only type of RAM; there are no pre-reserved regions in chip ram; everything (code,data,framebuffers) can be anywhere the programmer wants.

I think OP is (probably?) referring to 8-bit C64 era technology, where framebuffers/video ram are at a fixed location in memory?

Yup, I remember when you had to pass `z` if it was gzip, and I remember my surprise when I missed it once and it still worked (apparently about 5 years after it was no longer needed!)
It doesn't assume gzip, it detects the compression format.

The answer is usually Kanban. Once people realize that Scrum is heavy handed, they simplify and focus on moving work forward without all the meetings -- Kanban.

But a team that goes off the rails with Scrum isn't ready for Kanban. And your description is a team off the rails: Scrum does have daily meetings and occasional estimation, but not to the level you are describing. And Scrum has mechanisms in place to determine what fits in a sprint, and what happens if work slips. In scrum, there is no such thing as a commitment meeting - even the word was removed from the practice [1]. There is a sprint planning meeting, but that should be a quick setup to slide in whatever the most important cards are, based on the backlog work the PM has done. If that meeting is more than 30 minutes, your PM isn't setting up the project correctly.

And that is the big blocker to Kanban - Because many of the guardrails are removed in Kanban (with a couple different ones added), a team can just grab tasks when they are ready. There has to be a solid PM lining up the tasks in the correct order both technically and for the business for that to work. If your PM is having trouble lining up a prioritized list to put in a Sprint, they aren't ready for Kanban.

Fun facts!?

The Swedish inventor Gustaf Dalén (1869-1937) invented many revolutionary systems for beacon lightning for lighthouses [1]. In Sweden those lighthouses was called "AGA-fyr" (AGA-lighthouse) after his company AGA and abroad Dalén-lights.

Some of the inventions was the:

- "Dalén Flasher" that made the beacon flash and that conserved 90% of the acetylene gas, and the timing between flashes also made so observers could differentiate between beacons.

- "Dalén Mixer" that gave lighthouses greater luminosity where acetylene and oxygen was mixed in specific proportions.

- "Sun valve" made so the lighthouse only was on during the night to preserve gas. It was a black body rod that was connected to a membrane and tree shiny rods. So when the sun shined, the black expanded and turned off the gas. When the Blockhusudden beacon in Stockholm, the first sun valve beacon in the world, was electrified in 1980, it was discovered that the sun valve had never needed to be repaired!

For this, he also got the Nobel Prize in Physics 1912 “for his invention of automatic regulators for use in conjunction with gas accumulators for illuminating lighthouses and buoys.”

The Parthenon had survived for two millennia, and it was destroyed in an incredible act of vandalism:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenon#Destruction

I don't know which is more guilty, the Turks who used it as an ammunition dump or the Venetian who targeted it with mortars. In comparison, the vandalism and larceny of Lord Elgin is small potatoes. The marbles definitely ought to be returned to Greece, and replicas installed in-situ as they are now too fragile to withstand Athens' current pollution.

You can use a mount for smartphone. Charging is easy to solve - just use a big enough powerbank + full phone battery when heading out and you should be good for at least a full day of non stop navigation + screen on. I agree on small screen... but then again, you can use a tablet instead of a phone.

According to my experience (off road motorbiking including a rally with weather going from really hot to bad downpours and everything in between) using a cheap (120€) rugged phone works just fine. There can be some lag sometimes (100+ km/h on a motorbike is way faster than what most boats can manage though) but in this case you rely on Mark 1 Eyeball and spatial awareness anyway.
During rally we were required to carry an old school map of the area so if your GPS device failed you could find your way back to bivouac. I carried a spare phone, because it's cheap enough anyway. Can't speak for nautical charts but for general navigation I guess OSMAnd should work just fine. I'd still recommend against going out without basic navigation experience, relying on a smartphone only.
That seems like a bad reason. You can always overwrite the file by messing up the command.

I’d love the inside story on how from a user perspective Google search went to shit.
I agree; there are a lot of reasons to have generics in a language, performance one of them as demonstrated; but anyway it doesn't make sense if in a strictly, statically typed language we are forced to do dynamic typing to make data structures and algorithms reusable; however, i don't understand why everyone always goes for generic types; generic modules can do that too and are much easier to understand and implement.

Well, what if the program suddenly crashes and gives you a stacktrace pointing to main()? Assuming you were not the original author of the code, you'd have to read most of the code to understand it.

If the main was split into well defined, separate pieces, at least you could quickly rule out quite a lot of complexity. If it crashed in parsing, so wouldn't need to understand the processing logic, etc.

Sure it is easy to read one blob of code, if it is only 100 lines of code.
But it is a different story if it is 10000 lines and now you have to figure out which of the 100 variables are responsible for keeping the state of the input parser and which are responsible for "business logic".

Still, chariots did probably retain some advantage over contemporary cavalry, which would have been useful against undiciplined infantry formations.

Here is a quote from Ceasar from his invasion of Britain : "Thus they display in battle the speed of horse, [together with] the firmness of infantry; ...."

(Taken from the wiki artikle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chariot#:~:text=A%20chariot%20....)

"the firmness of infantry" part meant that the chariots would have an advantage over contemporary infantry in a shock role, to break up enemy formations, even from the front, similar to how cataphracts and medieval knights would do later (and even modern armor, when used as armored spearheads).

But I suppose the Romans were disciplined enough to remain cohesion even when attacked by chariots, meaning that chariots could not be the force multiplier against them that they may have been against other celtic tribes.

How is a gun a defence for any of the above? Do you think shooting a cop would have left the freedom convoy better off?
Yes, that is key. His call-out is mostly against those saying that crypto works as a "store of value", which has become the party line from BTC maxis after it has become clear that it failed as a currency.
It's a good point, though I will caution that in the case of paper and plastic waste, many consumers have much less control over product end-of-life than petroleum and paper industry would have them believe. Regulating at an industry level is necessary for more than just battery recycling, as passing the buck to the consumers is not a viable solution for anything other than saving face.

https://www.analog.com/en/products/landing-pages/001/sharc-p... has a 32-bit word length. It's been a few years since I worked with them, but the compiler had a "native" and a "compatible" mode -- the first where `char` is 32 bits, the second where we multiply each pointer by four before exposing it to C so we can pretend that we're addressing individual 8 bit char elements within the 32 bit hardware word. Much less efficient, much easier to program for. Don't try running code in compatibility mode without enabling compiler optimisations.

Strange that it proposes buying "climate-friendly" stuff at the end - the best approach is to not buy new things at all, and focus on reducing electronics waste, planned obsolescence, etc. - where FOSS can have a critical role.

The real "solution" will come from increasing sales tax to 25% like Sweden, increasing gasoline tax to $5 per gallon like the UK, energy tax, carbon emissions tax, fuel duty, etc. - people can't consume when they can't afford it. And necessity is the mother of all inventions afterall.

And then we can all struggle in poverty with high taxes and interest rates, whilst a few rich Americans live in luxury with their private jets and multiple SUVs, etc.
Swish is just another proprietary solution though along with BankID. And BankID basically requires residency in Sweden (and much more), so it's not something you can install while visiting to pay at flea markets. Their only appeal is that they are ubiquitous.

It's not completely symbolic either, little things can help too, and open source (and most importantly) open data, brings transparency which indeed allow for people to work together and build a counter power.

But then again, if you really want to do something about at your own level, just travel less (be it for work or leisure), watch less netflix and don't upgrade your machines, just replace them when they don't work anymore. That'd be start.

Actually, the explanations for why bitcoin has value coming from different supporters is quite different, e.g. some argue it is useful as a means of payment, some argue it isn't but it will be, some argue it is only useful as a store of value.
If you read "The Nature of Money" by George Ingham, you'll see that many economists think of money as something that is simultaneously: (1) A means of payment (2) a unit of account (3) a store of value. And historically, all successful currencies have been backed by a state that created demand for the currency by taxing people in it.
Bitcoin is arguably doing very poorly on (1) and (2), which from a historical perspective makes it prospects look very uncertain.
That works for the case you described. It will still ignore typos, dialects, or in my case a completely different language from the same language group. It will happily highlight different words that it deems to be equal to something I put in quotes.
I'm not the same person, but there's not much in operator module that can't be done by simply using an operator symbol. It's useful to use in e.g. map(), but you could use lambdas instead (for some performance overhead as mentioned).

operator.countOf() is perhaps the hardest to reimplement in lambda, as it's more reliable than lambda x: x.count() - for example it will work for dictionary.values() as well.
And then spammers or unscrupulous competitors will flag legitimate sites as spam, pushing the signal-to-noise ratio to the point of uselessness. Plus, few users will actually flag correctly. Most will simply not notice, or not bother, others will flag perfectly legitimate results as spam just because Google wasn't psychic enough to know exactly what they want from their vague query.

And Google already has a pretty good metric in the bounce rate without the need to add a "flag" option. That is, if you go back to the search page shortly after clicking a link, that link is probably irrelevant. I guess that SEO spammers found a way around that.

There is no point is talking about a "single" bitcoin. It's about the network. To have people paying 10USD for a coin would imply that there are people keeping at least 210M USD worth of mining equipment running 24/7.
To be fair, it's the same with fiat. For every dollar there is also a dollar of debt. If all debts were paid off, you would end up with nothing, except everything we created in the real world. Now, the question shouldn't be how much value is in the accounting system, because it obviously stores nothing, it only delegates the management of the store of value in the real world. The question should be, does Bitcoin help the real world economy?

I honestly don't know but I am leaning towards no. The lightning story could in theory result in a "happy end" but I haven't seen any real successes or at least I am not being made aware of them. After all, El Salvador isn't the success story that everyone hoped for.

Yeah. I'm British, I have zero problem returning the parthanon marbles. Of all the things in the British Museum it's probably the most obvious one to return: it's unique, it's location specific and it's part of something else that would be immesurably enhanced by it's reconstitution.

It's also not that interesting in the museum context. I don't actually think they would lose anything much by returning it. It's become like the Mona Lisa, totemtic, but not actually that interesting as an exhibit. I was pretty underwhelmed when I saw it in its broken state. I would much rather other people got to see a reconstructed Parthanon then I get to see the broken parts.

Unfortunately it's become such a heated topic I'm not sure I see a time when it gets returned without Greece having some kind of leverage over the UK.
