Introducing your brain to new patterns of thinking is one of the best things you can do in the long term regardless of your immediate goals. Likely for the same reasons multilinguals tend to have better outcomes with respect to brain health as they age.

That's something that doesn't sit well with me. Not all jobs are equal. Some are unethical, or worse. And OP is in the unethical camp, at least by association, and also tarred by the stereotypes of exploitation and fraud.

> Anyone refusing you simply because you worked in crypto at some point is short-sighted.

I would also not want to hire/work with anyone who's worked for facebook or google in the past 5 years. It's not as if there was a great shortage of jobs.

Elements of Algebra by Leonhard Euler
A friend of mine worked for a mainstream European science news website.
Most journalists had no science background, and were pressured into writing 4 articles a day.

The result of course, was low quality articles and hastily copied press releases with no critical thinking. They believed everything corporations said, because they had no time to check.

I don't blame the journalists, but the work conditions and economical situation of the media industry.
Biggest drop in hash-rate was in May/June 2021 when it dropped ~60% or something like that (https://www.blockchain.com/charts/hash-rate), but yes, it did survive that (as the network is still running, online and working as it should).

The all-time high of hash-rate for Bitcoin was in May this year.
DeFi has concrete use cases. Just look at how derivatives and options work in DeFi. You will see how financial products work in traditional finance. You can understand them by reading their smart contract code. Another example would be reading the code of uniswap [0]. It is a decentralized exchange in other words, it lets you exchange your value without intermediaries and a central authority by having an algorithmic pricing. (Actually, by saying algorithmic, It is actually pretty simple pricing curve :) but it works :).

I hope it is clear.

thank you.
That sounds like an extremely unstable way to do anything if you don't have EFD.

I think you just don't understand how anything works. That's okay. You'll grow up eventually.
Examples to substantiate this accusation would be good.
Yes and no. The main aspect is that ethereum mining is much bigger than all alternative GPU-mineable coins. When I checked it using whattomine back in January, ethereum mining was roughly 16 times bigger than all others combined.

Since the number of coins mined is fixed regardless of the effort expended, the revenue per card would tank if every ethereum miner switched to other coins.
Nor does your comment provide any value.
> I don't foster any negative feelings towards developers per se. A job's a job

Nah. This line of reasoning excuses any activity one might be involved with because "it's just my job". Doesn't work like that. The idea that you carry zero moral (or ethical or even legal) culpability because you're drawing a paycheck and being "told" what to do is what every person working for the companies that are deeply damaging our society tells themselves. Because the alternative (the reality) is really hard to deal with.

GP is right to be concerned.
Or not. They had a lot more resources before everybody started leeching the newspapers' contents, and offering free escapism. Yes, the internet is certainly to blame for the decline in journalism.
That makes sense. Thanks for sharing deeper details about the issue.
Agreed with all of these, and they don't apply just to the US. It's funny to realize that until the 60's or so bicycle holidays were the norm here, then it became car trips and after that airplane rides to ever more exotic locations. But not all that long ago it was just grandpa and grandma and their tent on a bike. A tandem if they were going for the fancy version (or if grandma wanted to do some knitting on the way...).

As for the reasons themselves, I'd like to add:

7) friendships made on bike tours seem to last a life time

8) people help each other far more readily than when using other modes of transportation

9) the sense of accomplishment

10) the sense of immersion, which is far stronger than when looking at the scenery through the windshield of a car

11) the confidence boost from accomplishment

12) if you travel with others you will get to know them much better as people than when making the same trip by car or plane (their good sides and their bad sides)

Good investigative journalism is usually quite the opposite. Some of my favorite pieces have times, dates, who, what, where etc and are firmly rooted in data.

There’s also a new sub-field that explores topics through data and they’re usually quite excellent.

Such pieces often turn into books or a series because it’s difficult to condense it all into one article. My favorite example is the article series about illegal plutonium experiments by the US Government on civilians where they injected poor (and mostly minority) people and dying children with plutonium just to see what would happen.

The articles forced disclosure from the US Govt. in the form of an executive order and led to the book, The Plutonium Files https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Plutonium_Files

> The government covered up most of these radiation mishaps until 1993, when President Bill Clinton ordered a change of policy and federal agencies then made available records dealing with human radiation experiments, as a result of Welsome's work. The resulting investigation was undertaken by the president’s Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments, and it uncovered much of the material included in Welsome's book. The committee issued a controversial 1995 report which said that "wrongs were committed" but it did not condemn those who perpetrated them.[3] The final report came out on October 3, 1995, the same day as the verdict in the O.J. Simpson case, when much of the media's attention was directed elsewhere.

Another great example is the assassination of the head of Iran’s nuclear program by the NYT, https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/18/world/middleeast/iran-nuc...

It’s a beautiful example of great journalism.

If you notice both pieces took a lot of time to compile and were about events that had happened in the past. It’s much more difficult to do this with breaking news, which is where the “all news is bad” perception comes from.

News can be great. Given enough time and research.

Right now Ethereum is only useful for niche applications, like using your ETH as collateral for an autonomously issued DAI loan.

This is because its disadvantages, like lack of privacy and very limited throughput capacity, make traditional finance better for all but the highest value blockchain applications, where the extreme integrity of process provided by its highly redundant and collectively managed ledger outweighs its disadvantages, like extremely narrow write bandwidth.

But once those disadvantages disappear, as a result of the aforementioned infrastructure development, I believe that will change, and we'll see Ethereum's advantages make it the preferred platform for mass-consumer applications.
Which ones were the best, in your opinion?
That’s more of a demonstration that code is law but laws can change by the consensus of the participants, measured transparently and verifiable by their willingness to mine the fork.

I have never used a table saw before, but from my amateur youtube understanding, safety goggles aren't perfect protection against kickback, right?

Like, if I've got a chunk of wood being hurled at my face at high speeds, I'm definitely going to prefer to be wearing safety goggles, but I can still imagine the wood coming in at an angle and knocking them away, or being hit with enough force to break the goggles.
this is largely a reaction to the old stereotypical attitude towards science: i.e. nerdy and uncool and for boring people. news sources - in some ways admirably - have tried to make it more interesting for the general public. they've achieved this, but at a pretty high cost, which are the points laid out in this article.

considering the size of the scientific community (i.e. people who could tell you what a confidence interval is) vs the size of the general news-reading population, I'd suggest that the likely alternative to a lot of the science reporting referred to in the article is not better science reporting, but less of it overall. sadly, these companies are simply meeting a demand from a relatively uneducated population a large proportion of whom's brains will switch off at the sight of the words "confidence interval"

my suggested solution to this is more public investment in the news industry. more grants for independent journalism

I quit my job as a data scientist in 2019 and spent about 6 months cycling around Europe. It was a great move it really built my confidence and enforced my since of self reliance. I was on my own things would go wrong bike trouble, bad weather, difficulty finding a place to camp, loneliness, but I could overcome them all and realised I can solve any problem the world throws at me.

I was a little worried about finding a job after, and having a gap on my CV but I easily found another data science job and have changed jobs no one even asks about it.

If like me you have an urge to take a bicycle tour do it you won’t regret it.

Loads and loads of mice can do horizontal scrolling while having two mice buttons, e.g. Logitech MX Master, Razer Naga, etc. It's not uncommon for high end mice to have a mouse wheel you can tilt left or right to scroll left or right or some other system.

The Magic and Mighty mice support horizontal scrolling in spite of being one button mice and not because they are one button mice. Apple laptops kept with the whole one button thing even into 2000s where it was pretty painful as there was no scroll mechanism at all, no right click mechanism at all besides a key combo.

You can easily do it yourself, I did it first on a chicken coop to practice and once I got the hang of it I did a 145 square meter roof on top of a two story building in relatively short time. The clock was ticking because we were about to have frost and that makes working on the North side of such a roof next to impossible. If you have to remove the old stuff first use a flat shovel, that works the fastest compared to more fancy tooling.

Show HN: DevRel News – All the best developer relations articles in one place
At the start of the year I became a full time developer advocate.

Being new to the industry, I have been spending a not insignificant amount of time keeping up with industry news. Looking for inspiration, competitor insight, helpful resources etc.

So in true hacker style I spent a weekend automating that process and created a news aggregation site.

Its been really helpful for me the last few weeks so I thought it would share it here so others might get some use.

I don't know what the best answer to that potential problem is: I think users should continue to be allowed to comment on any issue.

However I do think that the amount of analysis and effort that the user has done for each comment is relevant.

Silly hypothetical example: if a project is a Fibonacci function that (incorrectly) prints nothing but repeated "1" values, then the potential range of comments may include:

- "it's wrong"

- "it's printing the wrong output"

- "expected to see 1 1 2 3 ... but found 1 1 1 1 ..."

- "line two is missing an addition operator near character five"

- "please see #3 for a pull request to add an addition operator on line two"

(roughly in order of estimated "most frequent" to "least common" comment volume -- and not coincidentally, also ordered from "least analysis" to "most analysis" performed)

Not all participants have the same level of analysis and development ability - and for many projects there's a lot of surrounding domain knowledge (and/or history) required to post more valuable comments.

Also worth noting: high-frequency, low-analysis comments along the lines of "it's broken" can still be useful - they're often an indicator that a bug has been introduced, and can be the equivalent of comment storms on Twitter asking whether a service is down after a website/API has an outage.

Coming back to the problem: it's difficult to scale the ability of small groups of maintainers to respond to large volumes of comments - as the article alludes to, it can become a kind of "time denial of service" attack. I'd guess that problem is most pronounced for developer-and-end-user-facing projects (web frameworks, for example).

One solution could be tools that help maintainers cluster and categorize comments -- customer support tools are often designed to do this.

Another idea is whether it'd be possible to challenge the commentor gently to check whether they've provided all the relevant information. This could theoretically be conversational (human or automated) -- and that's similar to tech support in traditional IT.

Finally, a structural solution is to attempt to choose software architectures that distribute the support load and allow clusters of maintainers and developers to develop expertise in particular areas. This is, to a large extent, naturally the way that open source evolves. If one project becomes too heavyweight, then frequently we'll see smaller libraries emerge that provide the core functionality elements with a smaller code surface. If development slows unacceptably or moves in problematic directions, then motivated actors generally step in to fork or create an alternative.

In summary: I think that these ticket entitlement issues have likely existed in closed environments for a long time, and there are patterns and tools for dealing with them that may be valuable. Also it's a software-and-organizational architecture issue (in an evolutionary environment with no central authority).
Everything is already garbage and can't be fixed at all, so I'm afraid I can't see why that would change.

Individuals can put in the effort and make their life more repairable, maintainable and higher quality. But it takes time and money, which is short supply for most.
Probably wise: there are too many ways to do it, each with different behavior for ill-conditioned matrices.

GLSL includes an inverse for fixed-sized (2,3,4) matrices, which can return NaNs for ill-conditioned inputs. But it's fine for inverting transformation matrices.

Off the top of my head, DHA/EPA Omega 3s, Creatine, and Glucosamine aren't really found in plants. I think Choline and B12 are hard to get adequate amounts from plant sources as well.

I think you can live OK without those (I'm vegan), but supplementing the above from non-animal sources is probably a good idea, or at least not a bad one.
Until weather reporting became mostly automated, most news agencies had a policy of never reporting a chance of rain as being less than 20%. If it was 8%, it was always rounded up to 20%. If you remember seeing "20% of rain" excessively most of your life, this is why. Some of them still do this, especially with on the air reports by a human.
Microsoft didn’t port Office to Mac after the agreement. They agreed to continue supporting Mac.

Microsoft Excel was first introduced for the Mac in 1987. Word was first introduced in 1986. PowerPoint was originally a Mac application that was acquired by MS.

In fact, MS always had a Mac team. Bill Gates was on stage with Jobs at the introduction of the first Mac.

I had Excel and Word back in 1992 on my Mac LCII. Of course it was pirated. They were like $300 a piece.
Yes. Being able to target specific systems with specific exploits that are worth hundreds of thousands of euros, and using it risks the vulnerability being fixed, is very very different from people on encrypted messengers having no privacy at all (compare it to slack or IRC). Encryption still serves a propose here. The /NS[OA]/ is not the only attacker we're defending from and they, too, have the aforementioned restrictions.

This thread appears to be conflating two different things: whether a language is a "purely functional language" and whether the language's functions are "pure functions".

Presumably a purely functional language would, it seems to me, be exclusively (i.e. purely) functional, i.e. the functions in the language would always be pure. A language that has pure functions and impure functions, on the other hand, would not be "purely functional" as it contains impure parts, but it could still contain pure parts as well.

The issue with V seems to be that, although everyone agrees that it contains impure parts and thus is not a "purely functional language", the supposedly "pure functions" are also not actually pure, according to some reasonable definitions of purity.
An excerpt from the preface:

"We present to the lovers of Algebra a work of which a Russian translation appeared two years ago. The object of the celebrated author was to compose an Elementary Treatise, by which a beginner, without any other assistance, might make himself complete master of Algebra. The loss of sight had suggested the idea to him, and his activity of mind did not suffer him to defer the execution of it. For this purpose M. Euler pitched on a young man whom he had engaged as a servant on his departure from Berlin, sufficiently master of arithmetic, but in other respects without the least knowledge of mathematics. He had learned the trade of a tailor; and, with
regard to his capacity, was not above mediocrity. This young man, however, has not only retained what his illustrious master taught and dictated to him, but in a short time was able to perform the most difficult algebraic calculations and to resolve with readiness whatever analytical questions were proposed to him."

For some purposes concerning local future event scheduling you are right that it may be necessary to store date-time representation with timezone (or location, if it's possible to reliably infer timezone from location) and calendar (if non-Gregorian) rather than absolute UTC stamp.
