Not a comprehensive resource, but I found https://cryptozombies.io/ to be a fun and somewhat educational introduction to Solidity.
That's still a significant difference from running traditional trains on unprotected track. Skytrain has no grade crossings.
By helping to develop the MIDI protocol Dave Smith did a lot for electronic music. His instruments had a big influence on Electro, Pop and Rock as well.

I had a Sequential 6-Track in the early 2000's and then sold it and bought a used Prophet '08 shortly after it came out.

The first iteration of the '08 had some issues with the rotary encoders. It was really easy to get a replacement from Dave Smith Instruments. I sent in the defective board and $80 and they sent me a repaired one. It seemed like they were just covering their costs or maybe even taking a hit. I was pretty pleased since I purchased the instrument used.

Great company to work with!
Oh, you have talks with everyone involved. You consult HR. You get to the bottom of it. When you did, and it turns out that it was in fact discrimination, terminating the discriminating manager might be an option.

Not sure what a "super-manager" is supposed to be. Everyone reports to someone, even the CEO reports to the board. And the board reports to the shareholders. If a company cannot figure out cases of discrimination it is already screwed.

In real life, so, the disriminated party either gets a transfer or a generous severance package. Even if the discriminating manager gets fired. Nobody likes people that make waves.
I have been using Gandi (1) for the last yen years or so and have been very happy with them. I originally went with them because they were one of the few registrars that did the .cat TLD. I liked the experience and eventually transferred all of my domains to them.

They are a french company. Their slogan is "No Bullshit," (2) and I think they've done a decent job of living up to that.

My only frustration has been a situation where I was transferring an existing domain over to them. I wanted to create the zone file ahead of time so that when the transfer happened, there would be an identical zone file ready to go. But they wouldn't allow me to create a zone file for a domain that hadn't transferred over to them yet. Since I'm not doing anything critical with my domains, it was just an annoyance, but that would be a show-stopper for some.

As it pertains to billing problems, they allow you to pre-pay a chunk of money to your account. (They take PayPal.) It deducts from that amount when domains renew. That provides a buffer if you need to cancel your credit card.

Also, on the occasions that I have created trouble tickets, they have been responded to in a reasonable amount of time with helpful information.

This would be akin to the rate as set by the governor in Linux, which can be configured to respond somewhat slowly to rising demands.

Server configurations of the ondemand governor in Linux often take 50-90ms to reach max state from idle in response to load, and other variants (e.g., interactive) cover over this by having features for user interactivity (common in Android devices).

70ms to max out sounds pretty reasonable to me, but I'd be very curious to see if Apple has added some interactivity boosts.

As a nitpick, TLS does not indicate the sender of the email.

You can try using different terms, but the standard terminology in the mail space is "envelope From" vs "header From", as I used above. These are different things, and there's enough information in this email for you to know which is which.

Some MUAs--like Outlook--would render this email as

"Sent by postalerts@robtoledoyour.com on behalf of no-reply@youtube.com"

As I said, it may be that you want your MUA to do that, in which case...use Outlook? But this has nothing to do with limitations of SMTP.
Actually, from re-reading the man page for vmsplice, it seems like it _should_ depend on SPLICE_F_GIFT (or in other words, it should be safe without it).

But from what I know about how vmsplice is implemented, gifting or not, it sounds like it should be unsafe anyhow.
My issue with takes like this is that Bitcoin is currently barely used by anyone (many people are holding, almost no one uses it as their primary medium of exchange), and yet it’s responsible for about 0.5% of the world’s power usage. If Bitcoin remains a niche hobby and doesn’t grow, then yeah, that’s not a big deal. But the people saying “It’s only 0.5%!” are also the people advocating for it to overthrow the world financial system and bring about a global decentralized digital monetary system.

And if that happens, if Bitcoin goes from being used by ~0% of the world population (for everyday exchange) to being the main way people transact goods and services, then we can expect the demand for miners to skyrocket, possibly leading to an energy draw that is a multiple of the world’s current non-blockchain usage.

If/when that will happen is unclear, and I’d agree that “this much by 2030” forecasts that just extrapolate the current trend will likely be inaccurate. But if we’re debating whether Bitcoin/crypto should be more used or less, I think it’s only fair to reckon with the effects that future crypto growth would have on its energy draw. We can’t argue about tomorrow’s revolution with yesterday’s numbers.
Congrats on the release! 6 years is a lot of time, but such is life for bootstrappers. I'm working on a desktop app, it may take some 4 - 5 years total to launch it, 4 - 5 years to get some 5,000h put into it - (I could probably do better but my self funding strategy was inefficient - part-time freelancing, now working to change it to get a full-time job and similarly live off savings for 1 year before the launch).

I never did game development but kinda wish that I started my career with that rather than apps. It must be really exciting to build words and implement all that complex algorithmic stuff, but I got too much momentum with apps, maybe in another life :)

Did you track your time? Can you share how much hours more or less you put into it, or at least how it changed when you went full time? Did you do more than 50% of the work in the last year of going full time?
I had a google ads account and I misconfigured the payment details. Something in my configuration google didnt like, and it banned me for life from using Google Ads until I "resolve the issue". The domains I was trying to advertise on are also banned from being used on Google Ads. There's no one to contact, no response, just rejections and no answers.
I would just caution people to understand that saying that something is "controlled for" in an observational study (which is something I do all the time, I'm not saying it's bad) is not the same as saying that we've eliminated confounders, leaving a causal effect.

The US has mail forwarding for 1 year, but that doesn't solve the problem, as you still need to update the source information with all the companies. I usually end up spending several hours changing addresses when I move. It's better to do this right away than to rely on the forwarding completely. Some places get the change of address info automatically and update their records, but it's never the ones you actually want (usually catalogs and marketing mail).

A PO box would be fine, but it's not an acceptable address with many businesses, so it's not a universal solution to the problem.
Why couldn’t you use LetsEncrypt with them? I’ve been using and recommending Namecheap for years and I’ve never had a problem setting up LetsEncrypt on any domains through them.
Picked CoI up last night after reading this post and played it for a good few hours. I'm quite enjoying it so far! I'm barely into making my own electronics and I'm already planning out how I'll bench my open pit mines.

My only real gripe so far is pipes, and how they can be fiddly about adding junctions or expanding them. E.G. you must install pipes in the correct sequence to be able to get junctions and elevation changes the way you want. Otherwise, trying to splice a pipe onto an existing one at the beginning of an elevation change will not work due to the existing pipe beginning to ramp. Yet if you do the junction first, and then tee-off for the ramp, it'll work fine.

E: Coal seems over-subscribed, at least early on. Needed for smelting, to make cement, to make diesel, and again to make rubber from diesel?
Other than price of most of them (due mostly to macroeconomics really and unhealthy rapid expansion which is not uncommon to happen each cycle) adoption and use of them in almost every metric is up and increasing.
Having just read the plain letter of the law, it lists "invertebrate" as one of the categories in the group "fish" and makes no qualifier on type of invertebrate.

This is why careful phrasing is key in legislation. Nothing curtails the legislators' authority to give fish and game authority over things that most people don't think of as fish.

It would be nice if the legislature would pass a law to clarify their intent, but the amazing thing about the way the law works is they can just refrain from doing so, this President stands, and everyone wins with no further effort. Kinda elegant in its own weird way.
For use in the woods, pretty neat.

In fact, I prefer vim all the time.
"Generating load" for measuring pipe performance means generating bytes. Any bytes. urandom is terrible for that.
This analysis seems like a reach. The definition specifically includes "amphibians", putting frogs in its plain meaning, and plenty of toads aren't aquatic in any ordinary sense of the term.

It seems more as if your conclusion, that we should ignore the plain meaning of the word in the statute and instead try to capture the ineffable intent of the authors of the statute to discern precisely which invertebrates they meant, is the one with less grounding. If they wanted the statute to refer to "aquatic invertebrates", they'd have said so.
Potential buffering issues aside, as others have pointed out the node.js example is performing asynchronous writes, unlike the other languages' examples (as far as I know).

To do a proper synchronous write, you'd do something like:

node -e 'const { writeSync } = require("fs"); while (1) writeSync(1, "1");' | pv > /dev/null

That gets me ~1.1MB/s with node v18.1.0 and kernel 5.4.0.
I can't take any of these emergencies / droughts seriously with stats like these

> If the legislature did a bad job drafting the law, the courts shouldn't just say "well, bees are important"

They didn't just say bees are important, nor did they find that the legislature did a bad job drafting the law (which, in general, is not their job—qualitative assessment of legislative output and correction—either direct via initiative/referendum or indirect by replacing legislators—as necessary is the job of the electorate, not the judiciary, in California.)

The court said that the law as written explicitly says that ‘fish’, for the purpose of the grant of power in the law, includes, among other things, all invertebrates, and the historical evidence is consistent with that meaning exactly what it says, including terrestrial invertebrates, so the executive branch agency acting under power granted by the law with respect to ‘fish’ is correct in applying that power to bees, which are within the scope of the law’s explicit grant of authority.

If the people of the State disagree with the law granting power in this way they have the tools to correct it, and it's not the courts job.

That's a fair critique. It's certainly easiest for homeowners with a grange to do EVs. Eventually, market forces will make apartment owners who offer parking to also offer EV charging, but I think it would be reasonable for government regulations to require them to install chargers for renters who request it. Policy solutions are harder for neighborhoods where residents rely on on-street parking, as the municipality would probably have to install and maintain a lot of level 2 chargers, but this would still be worth doing.

In the mean time, if you're in this situation, I personally wouldn't fault you for getting a gas-powered car. EVs are still more constrained by supply than demand.

How much is your monthly bill? I pay somewhere around 10€.
All details of laws are "technicalities." They matter.

The Legislature is the body to address the gap, not the court.

> If regulators were correctly funded and staffed, they would have time to look into the shady dealings of the rich and powerfull.

Once regulators were correctly funded and staffed, they would become the rich and powerfull.
> You are not paying the full electricity cost for mining Bitcoin in transaction fees, the generation of new coins is offsetting some of that cost.

This is the big factor.

As the block reward decreases, transaction costs will need to increase dramatically.
here we go again, they use a faulty understanding and a faulty source

> Each Bitcoin transaction consumes around 2,150 kWh as of the time of this writing.

This is wrong because Proof of Work blockchains use the same amount of energy whether any individual makes a transaction or not.

Doesn't anyone else find it ironic that actually understanding how that blockchain works could bolster that particular anti-energy use reaction?

Ah! but the same people don't want to spend any of their own energy understanding how blockchains work because they've already made up their mind that its not worth doing that!
I've had a good experience with DNSimple. Gandi is okay too. Porkbun is frequently mentioned on HN so could be a good option as well.
> There is zero textual evidence to the contrary.

Isn’t the ruling based on the fact that there are terrestrial invertebrates explicitly qualified based on their inclusion in the “fish” category? What should you do when the legislature says “this law protects squares, and by squares we mean any planar shape with 4 sides.”
I played Minetest a lot with my kids too. We still have tons of those old maps from our co-op on various computers.

Now that they are playing other games, I still find that I occasionally log into Minetest servers just to look around at all the amazing builds.

In one of them I found a working MS Paint emulator (a wall with the icons and canvas on it), as well as a very impressive and huge ancient Greek temple.
> and the term 'fish' has zero scientific category or phylum.

And yet, a bumblebee is clearly not a fish.

IMO $5.00 is still beyond the price anchoring in most people's minds. You're getting close to the range of Apple TV premium, Youtube premium, Disney plus, Prime, and other bundled content services. Competing as a single content producer is going to be tough. It's natural you get mostly consumers that want to support you, instead of just people who are selfishly interested in the content, of which there are likely a lot more.

I've been lucky in that respect. A lot of start-up financial firms in my sector are founded by traders looking to go our on their own. The last thing they want to do is deal with "back office" matters so it is one space where generalism pays a premium.

I've done well and been paid well but I'm moving away from generalism for other reasons.

It's not notorious. It's virtually unknown in the mainstream populace.
Today fish is generally defined as chordates (vertebrates) minus tetrapods (four limbed things like amphibians, reptiles and mammals). Not a taxonomic category, but more scientific than including all things that live in water. This of course excludes those things we refer to as "shellfish," which are generally mollusks or crustaceans.

Bumblebee doesn't even come close to any definition of fish. It doesn't live in the water, and isn't in the same clade than includes all living fish (as we are, being tetrapods).

Not sure what you mean by "most species of fish evolved independently," by the way.
I started moving everything off of Google last year. Two months ago I finally moved the last piece, which was my domain. There's just too many of these Google horror stories. To lose access to your most important account, with no recourse, because of an innocent slip up (or even something completely out of your control) is unacceptable.

Its amazing how Google transformed itself from "a convenient place to centralize my digital life", to "I've made a huge mistake" this quickly.
The question is valid, but there is something missing from the equation from a startup perspective: experience.

It is the person who has experienced the problem that will fully understand the nuances of the problem and the potential users of the solution.

An alternative question might be: “how does one engage and learn about problems in your industry?”

I understand that this is difficult, but this is what investors want to see.
Britain did reform the Government to give more people the right to vote and fix the "rotten Burroughs". This most likely prevented it from being caught up in the Revolutions of 1848 which engulfed most of Europe.

What article is claiming is based on a misunderstanding of how Bitcoin works, this really is an odd way of thinking about it.

If half of all people stop sending bitcoin around, the amount of electricity used doesn't go down by 50%. So you sending or not sending bitcoin doesn't impact the electricity spend by miners at all.

Miners mine to secure the network, there is not a certain amount of electricity needed per transaction.

Behavior change is completely necessary if you want societal change. If you reduce the supply of meat/oil with policy without reducing demand, it would increase prices and people would protest, so we'd be back at square one.
Just like there's corruption masquerading as defending Human Rights, there's corruption masquerading as environmentalism. Not all of it is like that, but there's a lot of it. And the lines get blurred sometimes.

The numbers have to square up. That's critical. And the reasoning must be sound, no in-befores (inb4's) or soundbite explanations or silencing critics, in fact let the judge and jury decide for the most part, and if you are opposed, become a juror for the next time around.
They did, when they explicitly defined "fish" to include bumble bees. You're the one asking the court to find meaning not present in the letter of the law.

Something's wrong at Google. I was trying to setup my new startup with a project on GCP and had a very similar problem. I was told to go to a page, upload my ID and wait. Four weeks went by without an answer. Finally, I opened a customer support ticket and got a response 3 days later that said they'd asked the other group to validate my account. Another day passed and I was approved to give them money.

Lol, no. I had long since taken my business elsewhere.
The problem is, cryptocurrencies as an aggregate industry, see "success" as replacing all of the global monetary system as a whole. So even though this weird hobby that some people have is not currently, today, a major percentage of total climate-harming CO2 emissions, if the end-game comes to pass it will be a disaster.

Similarly, F1 or NASCAR racing are incredibly inefficient uses of fossil fuels. But there is no threat of performance racing becoming how everyone's cars work. So it can stay as just some weird hobby of rich people and not represent an existential threat to life as we currently know it.

The point of continuing to advertise the climate cost of cryptocurrency is to help keep consumers informed. If people care about the climate, are thinking about getting into crypto, and they learn ahead of time that crypto is bad for the environment, then they might skip getting involved in the first place. In this way, we can hopefully cut off the supply of Greater Fools that are necessary to keep the cryptocurrency-cum-hyper-speculative-asset-investment pyramid scheme from growing.
