It is interesting how people serious about text editing always seem to end up throwing away most of the DOM and use Canvas or SVG (e.g. CodeMirror). But even then the browser brings a lot to the table in terms of a common runtime.
Yeah. Normally sophisticated software scheduling works great on DSP-like tasks where the memory access patterns are very predictable but suffer a lot where you tend to have unexpected cache misses that a deep OoO system could just paper over.
Funny thing is that Obama asked the Netherlands to take some ex Gitmo prisoners. The Dutch government politely declined to fix his problems knowing full well the legal minefield.
How many, or what percentage, of crypto owners/holders actually have their crypto in their own custody? I would hazard to say somewhere south of 1%.

So what benefit is it? Everyone has only traded one form of vendor lock in to another (that is deserving of vastly less trust, as evidended by the Wild West of scams, rug pulls and outright frauds)
That’s a paranoid and particularly uncharitable view which ignores the perfectly valid reasons that it’s best the system behaves as it does.

The human has responsibility for the safe operation of the vehicle, whether they step up and fulfill it or not. If they don’t fulfill their responsibility, all bets are off.

There is no other (equally good or better) way this could work in practice. You can imagine other ways, and I’m guessing you will, but they are imaginary, not practical.

> I'd expect that the system would slam on the brakes

It can and it does, even while they autopilot system is disabled. Who said it wouldn’t?

You should learn more about the cars before hardening your opinions so much.
> argument is that the techniques themselves were "forgotten" and are now being rediscovered

Which is a silly, lazy argument.

> by people claiming that the term "Server Side Rendering" can't be retroactively applied

Show me one such claim. The only people I've seen use this argument are the detractors. The ability for JS to run both client/server means we can do things with it that are not possible with PHP or other server-only languages, and frameworks like React are pushing that boundary. Pointing out that JS has these unique opportunities is not even remotely the same as "forgetting" and "rediscovering" SSR.
I'm still thinking about this. What is the benefit of adding lead if you don't fully discharge the lead? Or do you?

If you are only using the lead until the LiFePO4 are dead then what is the benefit? Or do you have something to disconnect the batteries with they are at 50% (or what 55% to be safe) charge?

So you can increase the battery capacity by 50% of the lead you buy instead of 100% LiFePO4. Which means the lead needs to be half the price or less (excluding the cost of the DC-DC charger) for it to make sense.

Am I missing something?
My comment was about my own use cases. As for students, I think repairability is even more important for them.

Sometimes laptops are stolen or destroyed completely like dropped into the sea, for that they need to backup data.

But I think these cases are rare. Displays, hinges, and motherboards fail way more often, IMO. It’s nice to be able to recover data by moving SSD from the broken laptop into a USB3 enclosure, these enclosures are sold for $20-40. Another good option is getting another laptop based on the same chipset, and simply replacing the disk. None of these options are available for laptops with soldered SSDs.
Well, as the article itself describes, there are many decent materialistic explanations for this problem - I personally am fond of Daniel Dennett's interpretation of it.
This is how I chose to interpret it as well.

If you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best is a cliche way of saying the opposite.
> Being independent? US, China and Russia project this image of great power but they can hardly project it, as evidenced most recently in Ukraine.

Speaking of Ukraine, it sure wishes it wasn't "independent" in the sense you advocate.
> That it's a safeguard (not hedge) against tyrannical money.

Then why isn't BTC and other cryptocurrencies skyrocketing right now and seeing widespread adoption by Russian oligarchs looking to move around their money?

After all, if you're on the losing end of it sanctions are "tyrannical money".

There's also an argument to be made that it is precisely the tyranny behind fiat currency to ultimately gives it its value. The United States has a vast array of coercive means (from locking you in prison for forgery to trade weapons that can destroy your economy) to ensure that the USD has value.

There is never a technical solution to realpolitik. We'll increasingly see this in the coming months with crypto as powerful people will get their piece of the pie from the crypto boom, while most average players will be left with nothing.
To exit its zero-Covid strategy, China needs more transparency
Exchanges allow for sub-second resolution of a transaction because the resolution is actually pushing numbers around in the exchange's own internal tables (or between trusted exchanges). Banks offer similar service when trading fiat currency (either because they can resolve an internal account-to-account transaction or because they'll float the risk of fraud until they can resolve a cross-firm transaction). But if you want to have the Bitcoin network agree on a transaction, it has to get buried several blocks deep in the chain, and that takes time.
Let me see if I understand this: I put 10 bitcoin into this bank, and it gets loaned to you. If you cash it out to 10 bucks immediately, and bitcoin later drops to half a buck, you can buy 10 bitcoin, pay back the loan and keep 5 bucks, right? Not including whatever interest, I guess.

So this is a way to short bitcoin?

Edit: Sorry, maybe just to short Celsius' own tokens, although maybe it's indirectly shorting other currencies
You missed freedom of exchange, or that you can readily exchange it with the next person easily, which no crypto has been able to do
> The only way to make money in BTC is for someone else to buy in for more than you did originally. It makes it appear as if BTC's price is always going up

I'm not a crypto expert but that statement seems incorrect to me, since as far as I know BTC has deflation built into it. The more is mined the harder it is to mine more. So as long as investors are keeping some trust in it and are not selling at large scale, the BTC value should continue to go up in the long run (ignoring smaller fluctuations). That's why people have been flocking to it in the first place.

It was slower though, so you had time to breathe. Today the pace of "constant" is insane, and I'm not convinced of the "improvement" part.
There’s only shame in these acts if you put it there. There’s nothing inherently shameful about humans enjoying their sexuality. Shaming others for something you find uncomfortable? Now that’s inherently shameful.
Yes but how much do you depend on your phone? As in, what functions does it fill in your day-to-day life?
Sure, but you can't eat a hash.
No, they're not. It depends on what battery you pick, and if you go with a deep cycle battery designed for that sort of storage use, you typically get charts of cycle life down to 80% DoD or so, and still have "hundreds of cycles" there on anything competent. With thousands of cycles for shallower cycling that you'd see on a daily basis.

Please go find a good, modern lead acid datasheet and familiarize yourself with it, because I'm tired of people who've clearly not been around anything from the last decade or two parroting this line endlessly when it comes to lithium and lead.

Here's the datasheet for a GC2 form factor Trojan T105-RE from about a decade ago (I've got a 6 year old pack in my office): https://www.trojanbattery.com/pdf/datasheets/T105RE_TrojanRE...

Notice that it's rated for about 700 cycles, to 100% DoD. And about 4000 cycles at 20% DoD.

Lead has many advantages for stationary storage, and they're not the same batteries you found 40 years ago.

We are all from the internet here, you know exactly why we are this way. Even if true, please understand why your words are perceived this way.
There really is no such separation between "the bank's assets" and "the customers' assets".

A bank has liabilities (customer deposits, financial contacts with other banks etc) and assets (loans, cash in a vault, their central bank balance, real estate of their office locations, office furniture etc). These are absolutely all on the same balance sheet, and the difference between the two is the bank's equity. Take a look at the Fed's balance sheet, for example: It explicitly lists the land that its branches are located on, and owned by it, as an asset [1].

What's regulated is, among other things, the required equity in relation to total assets/liabilities (capital adequacy requirements) and a high enough ratio of liquid reserves to total liabilities to handle various stress scenarios (liquidity requirements).

Importantly, and this cannot be stressed enough in this context, Tether is not a regulated bank.

I don't think features such as Web USB, Web Bluetooth are privacy invasive. Chrome's huge market share is the very reason Firefox isn't trying very hard here. They are playing catch up. Take Manifest v3 for example; Chrome introduced it quite a while ago and made it mandatory for new extensions in 2022. Firefox just started catching up.

This is bad for Firefox because developers will eventually (and some still do) will simply stop supporting Firefox due it being so slow to catch up. Chrome already has such a huge market that a lot of web devs already don't care (e.g. Microsoft Teams).

What does this signify? It's the death of Firefox unless Firefox pulls a miracle here. Chrome is leading, all the devs are following, and they leading by leaps and bounds. Firefox is forced to catch up which causes frustration among users.

How long before Firefox gets tired of playing catch up and simply becomes irrelevant?

I am not happy about this. This is clearly bad but inevitable. The only other real competitor is WebKit which is restricted to Apple only. A huge market still. But Google's monopoly over the browsing market will only cause harm in the long run. Even though it will make devs jobs a lot easier.

What does Bitcoin provide that a cheaper coin doesn't? The only thing pushing the price up is speculation, all digital coins are worth pennies as they're all completely interchangeable from an end user perspective.
Possible does not mean guaranteed. Yes prices could go down. But just because they have gone up x% doesn't mean they have to go down x% as well.

Maildir vs mbox is like emacs vs vim.
Last I checked (which was a while ago), while the UI is in XUL / JavaScript, the bulk of the mail handling (POP/IMAP/SMTP, MIME parsing, etc.) was still in C++ that was extremely complex and hard to port to JavaScript. There was an attempt to rebuild a mail client in JS for FirefoxOS (the mobile phone thing that is now mostly KaiOS), but that's not used in Thunderbird as far as I know.

To be fair, part of this is that since around that time the major English speaking countries of note could print the money the bonds were issued in (first the British Empire, now the American one).

This means that there may have been "effective defaults" where instead of defaulting on the bond, the currency was weakened.

There's also the question if the CSA were ever really a "major English-speaking country" because they did default: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederate_war_finance

To be fair, there are probably more goods bought and sold with monero than any other crypto (outside of maybe BTC)

Although those goods are predominantly illegal drugs.
The founder/CEO of this has already (co-)founded and sold 2 hardware companies: SandForce and Skyera, he probably has the right connections and can afford it.
The drones you're thinking of here (FPV stunt drones, racing drones) have the most demanding discharge profile of any use for lithium batteries.

The whole drone is built around draining current from the smallest possible battery, as fast as possible, right up to the limit of safety. Charging is also a faster-is-better thing, from a pilot's perspective.

This kind of maximum discharge raises the risk of dendrite shorts considerably, which are what pops a lithium battery usually. So a firebox is a good idea for this case, it's just inherently dangerous to be right at the limit of energy-per-gram and discharge capacity all the time.

The chemistry is also never LiFePo, which is too heavy.
Thank you for your comment. It's a mix of both what you described: different types of containers + what I have flagged as "utility containers" (stuff they just installed because it serves a purpose very well).

The problem I see with this approach is that it has become very difficult to evaluate system-wide topics such as accessibility (or security, or performance) as we constantly deal with a very diverse technological stack and increasingly complex attack surface.

In my opinion, this makes finding competent people who can actually evaluate or assess work almost impossible, unless you hire a Lemming who will run some third-party scanner he found on GitHub: if the scanner doesn't say something is awful or critical, then almost everyone at the table is instantly convinced the system is perfectly robust.

I try to warn my clients by asking them if they think that a judge will be satisfied if they answer "we ran the scanner the other day and the scanner said it was all good" after a customer sues them for failing to comply with a disabilities act.
What Problem Does Web3 Solve, Anyway?

It should not take you 5 minutes to make an image classifier in 2022.
30 seconds is a more reasonable amount of time. Dalle is trained using CLIP which you can just use as a zero shot classifier directly, no need to waste time generating images or training a model at all. Just type in the names or descriptions of your classes and your done! Way easier than this :)
Are Web frameworks still relevant in 2022?

You can get a lot done with the HTTP(S) handlers from stdlibs.
That's true but Nodejs hosting slowly puts out more and more competition that is even free or similarly cheap. This is still one area where PHP shines (indirectly). The other one is legacy/ecosystem. There are still quite a few hairy things implemented in PHP that the JS ecosystem misses and that you cannot possibly amortize in a single, typical web project.

Are they that expensive though? Plenty of sports have more expensive equipment and often that's not even handmade, much less durable and associated with a strong in-group/out-group mechanism that I don't really see in chess. If you made it to the world championships never having touched anything but plastic pieces, would they think less of you? I suspect quite the opposite..
My grandfather worked for a company that built industrial sized knitting machines, and his job was to ensure they were installed correctly and to help get them up and running. One frequent destination was Czechoslovakia, where he had a "handler" who had to be with him at all times when he wasn't in the hotel. She eventually became friends of the family and corresponded regularly with the family well into the late '90's.
I liked windows NT so much I traveled an hour on public transit to stand in a two hour line to get a beta copy of Windows NT 4, and ran it as my daily driver (upgrading to non-beta) until I just switched to Linux (and then the first version of MacOS X).

This was after I tried to take the NT 3.51 kernel and marry it with the Win95 UI (that didn't work).
"A falling knife has no handle"
It's basically LiFePO4 but even more so: really high charge (10C! and it doesn't even get warm to the touch) and discharge rates, even harder to damage to the point of failure, and really long lifetime (many, many full charge/discharge cycles). Slightly worse energy density. Main downside is it's pretty expensive and niche still. I wouldn't necessarily consider it optimal for solar power storage, where it really shines is high duty cycle high power operation like electric busses, because you can fast-charge it multiple times a day for years.
> which I suppose is actually making them “full stack frameworks” but that’s beside the point.

No that _is_ the point.
Nobody is excited about increasing unemployment, and you don't always need more unemployment to tame inflation.

The idea is that in the specific current situation of inflation disaster, measures required to tame inflation maybe required.

Alternatively, one could imagine a pension system where the state gives one money to ensure one can continue living, paid for by taxes, without inserting a casino in the middle. But perhaps that's a tad radical.
I see it as inevitable. As population grows even in remote areas, the system will have to accept that certain issues are unreconcilable at federal level. Chances are you already know what those issues are, but the list can only grow.
This is addressed in the article. The plaintiff provided evidence that intelligence does not impact job satisfaction, however the courts ruled that the factual reality did not matter. What mattered is that the hiring department thought that his intelligence would be a problem.

So all the videos getting posted by Ukrainians of missiles zipping through the sky as well as missile strikes are fakes? The western news showing video clips of Russian missiles hitting Ukrainian infrastructure like bridges and bases are fakes? The Pentagon openly saying that Russia has been using hypersonics - fakes? The Russian RD-180 rocket engines powering NASAs Atlas V are fakes?

This sounds conceptually similar, albeit maybe more similar to React Server Components? I’m really not familiar enough with Phoenix to get that specific though. Even in the JS ecosystem there’s a lot of nuance between seemingly similar approaches (hence why even commonly referenced concepts like hydration can be confused for what they actually do).

A little personal story - Many years back I was living with roommates and didn't have car. It would be easy way to ask for ride since office really couple of miles from home and really on the way of other guys commute. But I kinda made a point to just walk to work and consciously avoid asking for ride. Looking back I feel it really led to much better relationship than it would be if I had taken convenient route.

Visual hashes collide all the time, though. Apple's child porn scanning algorithm hashes were reversed and images could easily be doctored to collide. If anyone has the resources and technical prowess to develop a good algorithm for this stuff, it'll be the Cupertino people bringing home obscene amounts of money for writing computer code. The black magic they use to achieve things like 5G speeds, reliable 3D vision, and even just the way modern flash storage operates, is just baffling. Every article I read about modern computing makes me think we're all just practicing witchcraft and I'm confident the smart people behind the modern smartphone can find a way to make the system work if there is any.

However, I don't think the current solutions are feasible yet. Tie someone in a gimp suit to a chair in some sex dungeon and you'll have no idea who's sitting where. In a less extreme example: some people don't like to have their face on camera when filming erotic material. You're working with partial bodies in similar positions making similar noises and movements, I think it'll be one hell of a task to properly identify unique matches in a way that won't lead to content ID abuse like on YouTube.

I'm also not so sure about having a company fingerprint the way people have sex "for their protection" to be honest.
