> Currently there is no way to send "money" to someone in another country on the other side of the world, in a decentralized way, and without transaction fees.

Why is this necessary? I have banks in three countries and generally pay nothing to move money between them or to pay others. This really doesn't feel like a problem that needs to be solved except by those trying to avoid taxation.
As someone that's traveled a fair amount it doesn't really take all that much planning to travel. Buy a ticket, book a hotel, show up. Like many things it seems scary at first but once you've done it a few times it turns out it's pretty easy and it gets easier all the time.

Thailand, at least Bangkok, has public transportation. Now-a-days you likely have a smartphone. If it's unlocked, get a sim at the airport for < $20 usually. You can find your way all over much more trivially in 2022 than 2002 or 1982 etc... Take cabs or use Grab if you want. I haven't used Grab in Thailand but I did in Kuala Lumpur and it made getting around so trivial (also used public transportation in Kuala Lumpur which is pretty good too)

Thailand in particular is also relatively cheap. No idea what flights cost right now but high-end hotels can be as cheap as $120-$150 a night and that's top end. Plenty of places for $25 a night. (vs say SF, NYC, London where low-end is $350 a night)
Exactly this! I like the concept a lot but perhaps an event handler being declared in-line in the component template isn't the best example of when this concept becomes really useful?

See my other comment. Do you have any input?
On one hand, this is something easily done with a parent div, some positioning, and overflow hidden. Probably not worth adding to the spec for such a specific use case.

On the other hand, I do like that this unifies the functionality of svgs and other html elements more. We’ve been seeing svg-like additions to css for a while now, and they’ve been welcome.

Overall I suppose I’m happy for more consistency even if I won’t be using this except in niche cases.
So crypto traders hold $150B of dollar denominated stable coins at the moment?
While that makes a lot of sense, that's a difficult sell when you have multiple people in a household.
You never wanted to send your friend money for them to buy something in the moment?
I don’t understand how this works, but according to [1] it’s used as collateral for loans. This seems to be a form of betting on price changes? See [2].

> They might even call it cable

Don’t go back that far. Newsnet is far superior.
Not in my experience. I've worked on several react apps. Currently doing a Hotwire project and it's just so much simpler to keep all state on the server side.
I agree with you here, but bringing it back to the context at hand: Facebook knows what will keep people hooked in a way that helps Facebook, and sneakily optimizes for that. They don't care if the product sucks or if it radicalizes people with aggressive, difficult-to-debunk BS memes and grinds them against each other.

Yeah, OK, a lot of people don't know themselves well enough to turn their phone notifications off and delete their Twitter accounts. That's the part I don't like, and it's all cloaked behind "We're increasing engagement with a data-driven approach!"
What’s in the Bog Water?
Okay, tell me how I can send money to my friend in Macedonia from Australia without transaction fees.
So do we just wave a magic wand and suddenly nuclear power does not cost anything. The article clearly laid out the cost and why even with deregulation LWRs are not cost competitive (while other technology is just not there yet). Or is your argument the government should even heavier subsidise nuclear to make electricity cost nothing? But why electricity and not e.g. housing?

Realistically the quickest way to get to the stage where you don't need to think about your electricity usage is put a solar installation on your roof + battery. Now you have to invest up front (and it might not even be a good investment), but it shows that nothing comes for free.
The article's most interesting point is that the vast majority of possible program (or object) states tend to be invalid. For example, `Person(isWalking=true, isAlive=false)` is nonsense, because there's an unexpressed constraint that `isWalking==true ==> isAlive==true`.

Though the author veers in another direction, I think his core point is related to this discussion:

Applying “make invalid states unrepresentable”

Interesting that this analysis seems to attribute Holland's defenestration as a response to an anticipated loss of Netflix subscribers. I read another analysis which had the causal relationship the other way: Holland's replacement by Bajaria more or less led directly to the loss of subscribers. I'm not sure what to think, but from an outside perspective, it feels like Holland was done dirty by her boss like that. It couldn't have been a smoother, more empathetic transition?
yep. bitcoin has been, from the start, about replacing the whole fiat financial system, not interfacing with it, depending on it, and being regulated.

Rossmann loves to rant at the camera about a lot of shit he knows nothing about. He's kind of turning into the Joe Rogan of tech.

He lost an incredible amount of credibility for me when he acted like he was a victim of Big Bad Apple siccing their lawyers on him for "selling parts."

Apple didn't go after him because he was "selling parts", they went after him because he was selling laptop and phone batteries with the Apple logo on them - labels printed to look exactly like the original parts. Something that implies to sellers that the parts meet Apple's standards, was made by an Apple OEM, etc.

A lot of aftermarket replacement batteries are shit. They have higher internal resistance so they don't charge as fast / heat up more when charging, don't have the same capacity, or they degrade faster, or all of the above. One of Apple's big successes with the circa-2013 Macbook Pro was that they used a battery that could survive thousands of cycles and only lose about 80% of its capacity. Far as I know, none of the replacement MBP batteries, save those used by Apple in their replacement program, are anywhere near as long-lasting.

Lot of aftermarket parts in general are pretty shit. Look around on the phone repair web boards and sub-reddits and you'll see talk about different grades of replacement parts. Screens, for example, can range from being terrible (poor graphics quality and poor digitizer performance) to "indistinguishable from OEM." The difference is usually at most $10, but a lot of phone repair places want that extra $10 of profit. They don't necessarily correctly program the replacement displays, they don't necessarily replace the gasket that keeps the phone waterproof, etc.

The mobile phone repair business is a shitshow full of scammers. When you realize how difficult it is to buy a used iPhone that hasn't been butchered by some clown 'refurbisher' or repaired with substandard parts, you start to appreciate why Apple engages in stuff like having screens programmed to match the mainboard.
I quit because I didn't like how all of their shows pushed an ideological message. I'm quite left leaning on most issues, but Netflix writers appear to believe that preaching progressive messages is all that's required to make a compelling narrative. If they had the compelling narrative too it might be more tolerable, but they don't.
I live in Metropolitan Vancouver, somewhere with very low vaccination hesitancy, and still someone in my circle only got vaccinated because of restrictions. Restaurants were re-opening and she couldn't join in without getting the vaccine.

How knows how many avoided infection at all, severe symptoms, or even death because they were similarly convinced by restrictions and mandates. In this light, I really don't have much sympathy for some people who felt a little discriminated against. A public heath emergency doesn't care about your petty feelings.
So when you enter a character into a text field the affected part of the page is then reloaded with fresh HTML?
Supply and demand are always in flux, and the repeated attempts to match these is what causes market efficiency. It is frequently possible that prices are not keeping up with supply and demand, and there exists arbitrage opportunity that requires people knowledgeable about the market to act on.
> they didn’t spent that time wisely to build useful set of skills (in their teens)

I learnt how to program in my teens.

I attribute this to being of a particular mind that liked it. This was fortunate as it also happened later to be a highly marketable skill.

I don't attribute it as being vastly more conscientious or knowledgeable about potential future earning avenues than my peers.

Then we must decide whether it is the English-speaking or Mexican Spanish meaning of the word 'burrito' that we are even discussing. If we want to be accurate, we should define our goals in a specific way, which hasn't been done here.

There are borrowed words in English where the meaning in the borrowing language is different than in the original (source) language. There are even terms, such as this one in Te Ao Maori, 'Takatāpui', where the meaning is intentionally different depending on whether the speaker is speaking Te Ao Maori or English, because of careful and intentional distinctions about preserving the meanings of words[1].

Things can get even more complicated when we attempt to remove our native language as a default frame-of-reference, such as attempting to determine what exactly is correct (or not, and if not, how) in the following conversation:

> Q: "What does 'sushi' mean?"

> A: "It's Japanese for 'burrito'.

Probably wouldn’t be that hard either to waterproof and seal everything, then have waterproof batteries and battery connectors that were splash-resistant with recommended removal + drying for a day if they do get wet.
You can create an udev rule to give the process permission to access uinput without giving it full root access.
> I am sick and tired of “X is a code smell” articles. Everything in software development depends on context.

Your comment sounds like you didn't even read the submission. Here's, quite literally, the second paragraph:

> "In my opinion these are code smells. Smells don’t necessarily indicate actual issues, just patterns that are likely to be used incorrectly and thus warrants extra care."

You see, the author points out quite unambiguously that context is key.
And there are dozens and dozens of ways to do that: Venmo, PayPal, iPay, bill pay, ach, wire transfer, iBAN, payconiq, biscuit, cash, check, beer.

They were probably fooled by metrics. People were watching the crap, so it looked like crap was good enough (until it wasn’t).
The antivax friends I know are mostly victims of disinformation. They usually lack the skills to judge between science fact and fiction: untrained, or perhaps just average humans at failing to grok cause and effect. They are usually mistrustful of authority, often due to being on the receiving end of poor information, lies, and misdirection from government and world organisations. They can give examples where they believe that they have been deceived in the past. Somehow scepticism is valid when it is our geek heroes, but invalid when it is an average person failing to invest the time to learn all the disciplines required to judge whether the science and politics of Covid are good or bad. Scepticism can be sanitary, or it can be an overactive memetic immune system of the mind.

Discrimination against the unvaccinated is justified, morally and scientifically Your statement is equivalent to me as if you wrote “Discrimination against the disabled is justified, morally and scientifically” or “Discrimination against the below average IQ is justified, morally and scientifically”.

PS: I see engineers make the same category of error, just in different subjects that they are unfamiliar with.

Previously reading on this topic and found out only a small percentage of people feel music emotionally. I was very curious, as my experiences are very intense, from frisson to full blown breakdown, chills, crying and overwhelmed completely.

Was recently 'diagnosed' as gifted but there's no explanation as to why I feel music so intensely. Perhaps part of the whole thing, I became an autodidact musician and music is pure bliss to my ears.
A good DOMS stitch from bodybuilding. A smooch from my cats. A good italian flag cookie or vietnamese egg custard. A good k-hole. Discovering new maths and new inventions. Building products which help people live better. Watching the world burn.

In that case, the problem wasn't conversion units, but race conditions. Anyway, three people died because the radiation therapy unit burnt them with lethal doses of radiation, because of a software error.

There are two versions of Telegram messenger for Android: GP one and a standalone APK. The latter is able to updating itself and, iirc, more relaxed towards content blocking. As Telegram client is open source, I think it would be easy to port self-updating code into Total Commander and release a non-GP unrestricted version.

Update: it was done, here's the link: https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=76644 Not sure about that self-update part though.

With the crypto market cap at $1300B that sounds pretty reasonable to have 11-12% cash on hand
Then write a predicate function that wraps this comparison. Extra points if you use a language that can inline the predicate, so you don't have to make a subroutine call for that.
Sure thing. DM as you desire.
There's the board game Diplomacy, reportedly a favorite of JFK and Kissinger.

Yes, all the pieces are there on the board for everyone to see, but the whole point of the game is the secret negotiations with the other players.
> An ignorant mind is precisely not a spotless, empty vessel, but one that’s filled with the clutter of irrelevant or misleading life experiences, theories, facts, intuitions, strategies, algorithms, heuristics, metaphors, and hunches that regrettably have the look and feel of useful and accurate knowledge. This clutter is an unfortunate by-product of one of our greatest strengths as a species. We are unbridled pattern recognizers and profligate theorizers. Often, our theories are good enough to get us through the day, or at least to an age when we can procreate. But our genius for creative storytelling, combined with our inability to detect our own ignorance, can sometimes lead to situations that are embarrassing, unfortunate, or downright dangerous—especially in a technologically advanced, complex democratic society that occasionally invests mistaken popular beliefs with immense destructive power (See: crisis, financial; war, Iraq)

> Very young children also carry misbeliefs that they will harbor, to some degree, for the rest of their lives. Their thinking, for example, is marked by a strong tendency to falsely ascribe intentions, functions, and purposes to organisms. In a child’s mind, the most important biological aspect of a living thing is the role it plays in the realm of all life. Asked why tigers exist, children will emphasize that they were “made for being in a zoo.” Asked why trees produce oxygen, children say they do so to allow animals to breathe.

Perhaps why this is why it is important to stay curious and open minded. Absorb and reflect from different angles, and stay humble.

Another thing is that some people get offended when you challenge / question them. They dig in deeper then with their beliefs. Makes it harder to debate and learn and come to potentially better conclusions from the start.

My neighbors are huge conspiracy theorists. It is hard for me to understand how they believe what they do because logically it doesn’t make sense (to me). I listen because I like different perspectives, but doing deeper dives doesn’t result in my confidence in what they’re saying. Now, I also take everything with a grain of salt, including the news (even from “great” sources as I’m not the politician in the room when the decision is made so what do I really know. And I try to keep that mindset, what do I really know?
If you also explicitly store the FSM state itself, then sure, that's true.

But in my experience, in almost all of these cases, the flags are stored in lieu of an FSM state; with the current FSM state implicit as a constraint-solution over the current set of predicate-answers. Which allows for incoherent states, because no FSM is actually being modelled in the business logic — even though the underlying business process the code is supposed to be modelling is inherently one involving state transitions.
you can't do that with crypto either (and crypto likely will have higher transaction fees)
The laws in the US are made by the legislature. If it was as widely opposed as some people believe, it would be done with. The problem is that law-and-order types are always going to side with law enforcement, especially when it concerns them having more power.
Euphoria? Excellent show.

Reservation Dogs? Excellent show.

Kill Bill? Excellent movie.

Captain Marvel? Woke Garbage.

You're demonstrating nothing but your own hyper-fixation on superficial identity characteristics by failing to recognize that there are plenty of "women, LGBT, PoC, etc" in all kinds of media beloved by those who are sick and tired of woke media. You think that these characteristics are sufficient for people to dislike this media, whereas the precise inverse seems to be true, wherein pro-woke people seem to be perfectly happy accepting garbage as media so long as these identity groups and messages are present.

I'm not interested in continuing this conversation by taking some kind of boomer position on wokeness, I just think that you're willfully arguing in bad faith, but you already know that.
I don’t know any of the details and it is plausible to me that there might be a higher cancer rate. But maybe the mesothelioma was due to actual asbestos? That also seems plausible to me.

Lol! Because you only hear about the bad bots.

That news item is only saying that wireplumber will activate pipewire as an audio server, and won't allow you to use it for video only (with pulseaudio serving audio).

It's irrelevant for those who've picked pipewire as audio server specifically, so it will most likely be irrelevant for Ubuntu.

Plus the Ubuntu 22.10 release is in October 22 (they use calendar versioning), so there's still some time to work out the kinks.

Same in the U.K. a colleague drove me up the motorway a couple of days ago and I was in the passenger seat sshed into a server for the trip and didn’t have any issue with dropped connectivity.

Can’t do that on the train, there’s a ton of “not spots”, even excluding the tunnels.

It’s crazy the phone companies don’t have better coverage on the train line.
Indeed. Ironically, I think making a beeline for wealth makes it less likely that you fulfill your potential. You should target public trust, and your own trust if you're short on that.

Your contribution absolutely deserves to be rewarded by the public's trust which comes in the form of money. However, money is merely a proxy for that trust, and we know you can acquire money by obtaining short-term trust. Even if you later lose the public's trust for your previous work, you may be able to hold onto that money by hiring good lawyers, to say nothing of the relationships you built that may rely upon you not turning out to be a fraud.

That said, aside from having confidence in yourself (but not so much that you cannot acknowledge mistakes), money is the best proxy for trust that we have. It's fine to go after it as long as you understand that your relationships with people are more important.
It’s a very niche use case. For most use cases, you can send money perfectly fine using a credit card or Apple Pay etc. To receive money you can open a Shopify store or whatever comes next. To send money to relatives in countries with little infrastructure, there’s already Hawala, Western Union, etc. Not perfect but will be incrementally improved.
This is quite interesting to me, because I've been into lifting and body building at times in my life and the research was clear: within limits, this is very good for the human body. So I'm quite confident to say that there's nothing inherently bad about lifting, pushing, twisting, pulling, turning, and holding heavy things. Quite the opposite. So the question then becomes: is this about technique? Are these labourers lifting with their backs, for example? Are they just never taught to lift things correctly? Or is this about dangerous workplaces? Or is this about repetitive strain? Heavy lifting is good for the body, but maybe not 12 hours of the same heavy lifting.

IMHO, all of these can be relieved through workplace reform. In other words, manual labour doesn't have to result in a broken body. Labourers can be taught how to lift correctly. They can be given a safe environment; and they can be rotated to lots of different tasks to prevent RSI.

Using Linux on a desktop workstation, I'm normally able to get by with half the amount of RAM that my Macbook requires for the same activity. Probably because I'm not having to run MacOS and Linux at the same time to pretend that I'm not running Linux.

But it's not just memory, I find running code on MacOS generates a lot more heat causing the CPU to spike and harder to run in the first place.
