There has been a lot of precedents of "actual scientists" not taking anti-science charlatans seriously: before the discovery of genes; before the discovery of DNA; before the discovery of tectonicsl before the discovery of the ultraviolet catastrophe. Etc, etc, etc....
From my limited knowledge, I don’t believe hard money advocates would say there are never any crises, but instead that they are shorter lived and not as large.
Knowing about every little thing people buy is as creepy as knowing about every little thing people say. And it's not necessary in the least. There are valid ways to measure cash flows without tracking every individual dollar. In the end cryptocurrencies play a similar role as gold and diamonds; not a great investment but useful as a store of value.
Yeah, the cheater plugs are part of the deal. I'm pretty sure they're just fixed resistors so it's not complicated.
Well it depends on how you publish your application. Example:

dotnet publish -c Release -r linux-x64 --self-contained -p:PublishReadyToRun=true -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:DebugType=None -p:DebubSymbols=false

Will produce a single file which (with only Hell world) is around 62MB. While:

dotnet publish -c Release -r linux-x64 --no-self-contained -p:PublishReadyToRun=true -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:DebugType=None -p:DebubSymbols=false

(Notice --no-self-contained), will produce a single file which should be around 146KB.

So it all comes down to including the whole runtime or not while publishing. And then there is AOT (Ahead of time) option for the upcoming .Net 7, which will reduce self-contained files significantly.

I agree with that; all I am saying is that I think a fair number of users would be happy with the IMAP access even though it does not provide E2EE benefits, which should not affect those who want to run with the bridge.

I think Protonmail started with a privacy-focused business case (for which E2EE is a key feature), but is now expanding into the broader pool of people who want to pay for an ad-free, no-data-scanning email, but are not concerned about targeted spying and prefer the simplicity of a convenient setup. For that crowd, IMAP would make more sense. My 2c.
I'm so lucky indeed to be replied and given such the answer.

Thanks billions.. more importantly must God bless and reward you, ameen !
Yeah, but everything has to be progressive. We can't reduce emissions by taxing EVERYONE to reduce emissions. We have to try to squeeze 76% of the reductions from the top 1%.

The problem is - if you ACTUALLY want to do something about emissions - they aren't as unevenly distributed as wealth. Everyone needs to cut back. And just like taxes - everyone is willing to raise taxes on someone else. Everyone is willing to force everyone else to cut their emissions. Hardly anyone wants their own taxes to go up, or reduce their own emissions.
You can just as well say that property is coercion. Like I get that you won't agree, but you are asserting a value system when you do that.
I thought cryptocurrencies were proven to be a bubble, according to them. Now they're a threat!?
"rot" means "decayed/decomposed". It's got a negative connotation.
"We should shut down a system where everyone can see all transactions because its not transparent, what we really need is a way for the government to track everyone."
Ok you’re not wrong that the UX of many of those apps isn’t great, but you should still try and stay on top of that stuff. Banks aren’t going to accept “bad ui” as a valid excuse for a shitty credit score when you want a mortgage, and your parents won’t when you fail out of college. Also, anecdotally, points back from things like airlines are pretty nice as long as you’re going to be flying anyway. Sure it’s not worth it if you’re choosing an airline or route just for the points, but over time they’ll add up even if you just collect the points from your normal travel. This is a bit of a unique situation, but for example I’m getting a round trip to Europe, possibly business class, for $71 in taxes, because the person I’m going with flies very frequently for business but still gets the points from those comped flights.

Essentially, don’t discount point systems, and please for the love of god fight through the bad UX when it comes to actually important shit like college and banking.
So the problem isn’t the existence of a USD digital system.

The issue would only arise if cash was eliminated.

I completely agree on the need for cash, but as long as we’re also keeping cash a digital USD would solve every problem crypto claims to solve while still allowing for a non dystopian future.

In fact, crypto is completely dystopian because there is absolutely no space for cash in it, and further, by being distributed and therefore pseudonymous at best, it actually opens massive privacy and security pandora boxes.
Sure, everyone has it's own personal inflation, but I don't see why can't we look at aggregate data.

nb that there is little relation to interest rates, which have been steadily declining since 82:

https://www.freddiemac.com/pmms

with the recent spike, we are currently at ~2000 interest rates, when homes were at 4x incomes, rather than 7+x

home prices have been absolutely bonkers, with two massive bubbles (we are in one right now) and the fact that this doesn't show up proportionally in inflation numbers is either malicious, stupid or both

the really psychotic aspect of this all is that in the long run it will destroy the economy as family formation craters (too expensive to start a family)

maybe that's the idea, I can't make much sense of it
Not an expert but have a strong opinion. Many developers reject DOD because "performance isn't that important in [some software type]". However, using DOD can have other benefits unrelated to performance, IMO.

From the article: "DOD promotes solving concrete problems as opposed to generic ones". Given that DOD is biased against unnecessary abstractions, this can improve the code's readability (e.g. no more Abstract Factory Manager Generators) and thus maintainability. As Mike Acton pointed out, it's very useful to be able to easily reason about what your software is doing (not just a particular class, in isolation).

The quote you mentioned seems to be in opposition to the OOP-centric view of the world, and hints to alternative ways of organizing code (PODs and transformations).
Surely relocating your life is such a big move that you can plan for it ahead of time and get a degree? It doesn't have to be from a good, expensive university, as long as it's recognized.

And I think for software engineers with experience getting a degree in CS while not trivial is doable, especially if you're not hoping for high grades.

Carbon14 is hard-science. Archeology is not. It is mostly speculations, where you allow yourself to imagine a scenario that would explain what happened over 1 million years, on the basis of a bone that you found.
It's questionable as if spark every would've been nearly as successful of a product if they had done this.

Sparks success is that it came out of Berkeley, was better than traditional map reduce in a number of ways initially, but more than that it was able to spread because a lot of map reduce product providers were able to push it for their clients because of it's apache license explicitly.
I'm in Buffalo, so in my very backyard is Hotel Henry (https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/bufhyqq-hotel-henry-buffalo...) - locally known as Richardson Complex (https://richardson-olmsted.com/). Bit boushy for me, to be honest and the experience never lived up to what it was supposed to be. Probably because well .. it's a mental institution, after all with a rather interesting past.

Currently our local celebrity billionaire, Jemal Douglas is continuing his storied Daddy Warbucks spending spree with the old Hotel Henry (
https://buffalonews.com/news/local/douglas-jemal-hoping-to-o...
). I work in his Seneca One Tower as part of the 43N (https://www.43north.org/) cohorts in startup land (my sole reason for being attached at the hip to YC news).

I've also had the distinct pleasure of being in MANY of the Kirkbrides over the years through a past hobby of Urbex (https://www.uer.ca - some may know it, but mostly dead community now). I think I've been to 6-7 of them over the last 10-15 years of doing that, and as a photographer and a history dork, they are astounding to see in person (and on occasion from the inside).

Now, back to a psychology degree and wandering into tech ... the obvious departure of the federal system after Pennhurst discoveries (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1194153/ <- truly worth watching to gain a perspective on our failed mental health system) to the states, I know a lot about this stuff from the front end of photography to the backend of its history.

Being from Buffalo, and here for at least 25 years (most of my adult life) unique place to be on this particular topic.

Hoping this information helps this post alone, since it touches on so much of what I enjoy talking about when living here.

Also check out Henry Hobson Richardson and Fred Olmsted is a pretty interesting one.

Well, it sounds to me like you are uninformed. Please, tell me about the documented problems with GMOs and how unrealistic it would be to mitigate them.

It's just so exhausting for me to communicate with someone like yourself, who simplifies a complex issue down to "unrealistic" because of its complexity. I have personally generated multiple GM varieties and spent a substantial amount of time researching horizontal gene transfer in the environment. If you think we can feed the world's growing population, mitigate and resolve climate change, and quickly address new pathogens in our crop system, *without GM crops*, then let's see it. Let's see the data which supports non-GMO as a viable equal yield. As a viable solution to emerging pathogens.

I would love to have a meaningful conversation about this, but you are certainly indoctrinated into a way of thinking about GMO which doesn't align with reality. See: "Frankenfoods" in your original comment. You choose a disparaging way to describe GM varieties as a way to amplify your negative opinion about them. Look up Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer and you will learn that the mechanism used to deliberately insert genes has already been occurring in nature for thousands of years.

What's funny is you didn't even answer the very first question I asked you: What does organic mean to you? Because organic is a half-baked term with a dozen definitions used as a marketing tool for product differentiation. Organic labels mean nothing, are based on varying parameters, and are assessed by a slew of certifying bodies with questionable ethics.
Missed compression, thanks!
So are these mostly documentation/outreach issues, then?
There's already been government attempts in restricting banking services to "undesirables", all under the guise of preventing "high-risk activity". Check out Operation Choke Point. It prevented a lot of legal sex workers from being able to use banking services. It's a kind of extra-judicial regulation where something is "legal" but not really because some agency can arbitrarily tell every banking provider to blacklist you.

Competence is a big part of why you don't see as many nudges as you can, but it'll be considerably easier with a digitized US coin. And of course these departments get more sophisticated over time. Maybe they'll hire consultants from CCP to help them implement a social credit score.

So true. If anything, something broken on Windows puts you in a worse position.

Out of the box, KDE is very close to Windows - a start menu, a dock, and a task tray. I don't use Gnome, but I don't expect it's that dissimilar either.

No idea why VSCode doesn't work "out of the box" for you. Again, I can only assume you've picked some odd window manager, possibly a tiling one or something like that? Gnome and KDE "just work".

> Linux on the desktop isn't a tool, it's a hobby.

That's fine. My opinion, is the opposite to yours. My vanilla KDE install has been fine and I use my linux desktop as my day-to-day tool for writing production, revenue earning, code. I've been running KDE full time for over 4 years now with no problems (or rather fewer problems than I had with Windows and Apple, but YMMV).
Paris Hilton wants to be the 'Queen of the Metaverse'
This is a good point. The government really shouldn’t be producing a single number and saying that’s “the” inflation rate. It muddies the waters and makes it easy to think that the economy is some magic system where things just happen rather than the sum of choices by individual companies and consumers.

If OPEC decided to stop producing oil altogether you bet there would be “inflation” caused by oil prices but that doesn’t mean the FED should be goaded into making changes to policy.
There are fully integrated solutions for kodi. Sure there's some setup but the alternative is paying a lot more for low res content on linux.
This "duplication" allows tooling, libraries and ideas to compete with each other and evolve.
What would I do with that data?
Bubbles are threats for the economic system? We had a very famous instance of this not even 15 years ago, and another about 23 years ago.
Yeah but again, it's most often not about the money...

I work for a large enterprise and we pay or retain vendors to do things for us all the time, at a much higher cost than it would be to do it in house, because we cannot find/hire/retain the expertise to do it ourselves, and at some point we need to get the work done so that other more mission-critical work can happen to drive the business forward.

Plus, there is value in paying someone to make the find/hire/retain part their problem instead of ours.

We buy the reliability of getting the work done in a timely manner, on top of the work itself.
Very cool idea but the website seems awfully slow with all the animations and loading screens, and the audio player seems to keep resizing and lagging.

I think it's interesting that the author writes extensively here about the relationship between hierarchical rank and income without mentioning the actual trait that most reliably predicts the ascension of hierarchies: ambition.

I've written about this trait before (1) and was expecting it to be explored with the mention of "trait" in the title (which typically refers to temperament or personality). More ambitious people consistently pursue roles that beget status, authority, and income opportunity. Ambition, which is a combination of traits in itself, reliably predicts actual outcomes like educational achievement, the pursuit of more prestigious occupations, career advancement, work output (per the author's mention of working full time vs part time), etc. While the research on ambition is admittedly fragmentary, it's safe to say there is more than purely an economic angle to this conversation.

I’m pretty sure you can still write some js and load it into the browser or node. The issue is that 10 small instructions become a hundred (thankfully) and so if you read the wrong article you will be lost.

If this guy was told to use `require` instead of `import` it would have most likely just worked. The instructions were wrong so he failed.

Even back then though you still needed to RTFM. The first time I wanted to do a bubble menu (the one that follows your cursor, focusing an item of the menu) I was redirected to Flash.

I wish CUElang is going to succeed.

From what I'm seeing, it's already better than Taxi at what Taxi is supposed to be excellent at, and yet does much more, while still not being Turing complete.

I enjoy it better than JSON, YAML, TOML, and any respective schema associated to those. Sum and Union types are a killer feature, espacially since CUE can define a type and a value using the same syntax.

But it must be hard to implement, because for now, only the reference implementation, in Go, exists.
FWIW you can wire an SNS topic directly to a Lambda - But watch out for frequency rules around that setup. Too many posts to the SNS Topic and you'll run into rate limits and dropped messages. (This is also why most suggest going to a queue first)

I live in east Europe in a country with public healthcare (our system even considered to be in bad state). However if I have to choose between spending the saving of my family and spending a week or a month in an ugly hospital, I choose the latter without thinking. The doctors doing the healing are the same, the quality is the same, only aesthetics differ.

There are problems with puclic healthcare that needs solving, but I would much rather focus on thoose problems than pumping insurace companies with money so private hospitals can charge 10x-100x the price of a treatmant (compared to Europe for example).
I've tried fiddling with host and remote, was unable to get a satisfactory result.
This looks incredible. Great choice for using alpine. This matches my stack perfectly, will definitely give it a whirl. I expect I’ll end up using tetra for a long while yet. Congrats and thank you for such a great contribution to the community!
Exactly. IMO you're a 100x better developer when you at least tried to create something you use from scratch.

I find however this will become harder and harder with newbies being constantly bombarded online with messages stating that creating anything from scratch is a futile exercise, together with companies influencing college curriculums.
Tangentially, I dislike strongly when people record videos of themselves doing "goodwill" for others—especially for social media; it always reeks [to me] of insincerity. Not to mention the often unwanted spotlight it casts onto the receiver of said goodwill. If one cares, one does acts of goodwill privately, without thinking about how others will react—including and especially—on the internet.

I'm in the same boat. I loathe having to deal with Bell, but they haven't tried to screw me in a while (they must have forgotten about me?) so I haven't had to deal with them for years. But the FTTH service they provide is unparalleled and unavailable from any reseller.
Sure, but the biofuel is a lot more energy dense. People do buy large tanks of fuel so they can drive long distances where there are no gas stations. Think trips across Alaska, or Northern Yukon. Most of us live in range of a gas station and so just stopping for gas every few hundred miles is more reasonable than a large tank (which has issues), but you can do that. You cannot get nearly as much range out of a battery, no matter how large the trailer is.
I've been programming on the web since 1997. All the techniques developed since then still work. I still have a couple of "web 2.0" websites I've developed running at work... because while I nominally have all the language skills, I only dip my toes into the chaotic world of "the latest JS best practices" a few times over the years and have not been able to justify the effort of keeping up when it is changing at a higher frequency than I have needs. If someone drops me into a functioning project I can adapt quickly, but starting from scratch has become virtually impossible in any reasonable period of time anymore.

This really only hurts with UI stuff. Other JS I can write just fine; pure Javascript in the browser has gotten pretty powerful, it all but has jQuery built in now, you've got XPath, a templating language (simplistic, and needs a bit of XSS care, but adequate for small needs) and a lot of other useful things all just sitting there, but if you want a big widget setup there's a huge learning curve to get there, even for an expert programmer.

For the novice, "classic web" would still be a very powerful thing to learn that isn't too hard, but it's hard to find those references now underneath the pile of not quite functional tutorials, broken install instructions, entirely different languages creeping in (Typescript), etc. It's a total disaster for someone trying to learn this way.
> With that being said, the US already spends more on public healthcare than Canada does

That's because it's mostly all going to predatory insurance and drug companies rather than to doctors and other medical professionals. Universal healthcare cuts out all the needless middlemen and and incentivizes governments to put reasonable caps on the profits of drug companies.
If you're looking for a service that ignores law enforcement requests, I don't think services anywhere are for you.
It's not the ticket out. It is the right to work in another country. Generally that requires some skills that are in short supply. That doesn't necessarily mean having a degree, but that doesn't hurt when trying to get a work visa.
I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I think this is really really cool. Would certainly become a better and better experience (I think?) as more people leave comments on episodes.
