All.The.Time.

that Amazing Neutrogena conditioner, which was really good and lasted a year? Gone: if it lasts a year, its too good.

that original low-sugar chex? gone. we invented three new flavours.

that jam? gone. butter? gone. that cut of meat? gone. those pens? I mean pentel pens. How can pentel can an entire line of really good, fine writer ballpens? Gone. Sorry dude, it was you and your partner, thats IT. we checked inventory, we were shipping the last box to your category killer store two years before we canned it. It was you and some wierd hobo in Chiba were the last ones buying.

Wilkinson Sword made 30cl shaving foam cans, mostly supplied to the airline business for Business class passengers. Gone. That was the good stuff. I have to scrabble around for a Nivea gel in the same form factor, its hard to find.

My partner and I feel like the harbinger of doom for products a lot, we have dreamed of renting ourselves out to the highest bidder, to go and buy competitor product. We even called ourselves this before I read the term. We joked about being the kiss of death in shops, and then it became un-funny to the point we're scared to tell shopkeepers how much we like products sometimes.

(for the ones we want, we'd buy a LOT. That neutrogena shampoo is $40 a bottle now in the ebay hoarder bins. Neutrogena triple moisture daily deep conditioner. It used to be like $7. I have two bottles coming via a reseller, thats another year before we have to find a different conditioner.)

Grape Nuts. They're next. Trust me, Post is going to be reading the interwebs and my supplies of Grape Nuts will dry up.

Wierdly, we are high income, we are not buying dead real estate and out voting useless candidates (Green, Labor, our candidates do very well). So I think the article has over-compensated somehow.

Maybe we're up market Harbingers of Doom. Bespoke. Artisanal.
I agree but also it fooled a senior Google engineer with that words, or as far as I have seen, he couldn't distinguish between a machine and an AI model. So, for me it's a passed.

Sorry to make you repeat yourself, but we’re looking at DIDs and I’d like to know your arguments against them. Do you mind linking to a comment or summarizing?
Personally, I usually fail tests. I don't have good memory to memorize all the algos, keywords, I am a StackOverflow driven developer:), but the last interview went really good, I could say I liked it and I even received an offer letter.

Let me briefly describe the setup. The job is with a well-known software outsourcer, the position is Middle Java Engineer.
1. Quick interview with the recruiter;
2. A hour long interview with senior engineer, where I told him about the projects I have completed, he asked some questions, at the end he gave me a relatively simple java task;
3. An interview with the engineering manager, who wanted to know how would I approach some problems, e.g. concurrency, security related.

The interview process did not require me to spend weeks to prepare, no 2-3-4 hours commitment and no questions outside of context. IMO, when you do hundreds of interviews you realize that passing tests successfully does not mean you will be successful at workplace.
Not to mention that if you wait to unionize until you are being exploited, you will have far less power to resist coercion. Striking when you have some money under the mattress is a lot easier than doing so after you've eaten the last of the shoe leather.

Because you're using iOS. Good news though, you don't have to use Google's garbage! You can sideload a better client[0] onto the device, since you own it and can control the software you install on it, right?

I've been in US wilderness areas that were absolutely covered in frogs. As in areas 50 ft wide or larger. So I'd agree with you - could have been a completely natural occurrence - maybe a mudslide or some kind of toxic algae that killed them before Mother Nature covered them.

I paid a contractor in Vietnam to do a side project for me once in a stablecoin. Because it avoided the central bank, they could avoid the stealing of their hard currency via the standard international payment system.

One beneficial use case from the US perspective is further global dominance of USD (if you are into that sort of thing). This limits the ability of corrupt governments from inflating their fiat, which is generally a worse currency than USD fiat.

But going onsite or remote interviewing for 4 hours is more reasonable?

Looking at the original post they have a 4 hour at home coding assignment that’s followed up by a group presentation. I’m guessing that one is an hour or so. Figure another hour or two to prepare for that.

It doesn’t seem like it is much off from a typical 5-6 hour on site interview. Plus I think you can get more of a signal about how they can explain a problem that they spent some time thinking about vs trying them trying to get excited about a leet code problem.
I've only visited Japan once (I'm American), and as someone who had never been, I definitely saw a lot of things that seemed magical and I can understand the tendency to romanticize it.

Funny enough, I've been planning another trip (that was supposed to be for my daughters high school graduation, but COVID changed that)and spent a lot of time watching videos to get ideas and learn a bit of the language and culture, and some of the English speaking Japan based YouTubers opened my eyes to a lot of the areas where Japan definitely isn't magical.

It's been good to get some balance! I'm still excited to visit when we finally can.
This is how urbit ids work for what it’s worth, I think it’s a good model.
> who spout incoherent word salad

I affectionally call it crypto-babble.

> critics describe what it does better than its advocates

Seems to be true of pretty much all crypto. Most of the advocates have a very poor understanding of how it works, what the benefits/tradeoffs are and worst of all a complete ignorance of the systems they are seeking to "replace".

As a result we see all the crypto stuff simply repeat mistakes/failures/weaknesses that have been known in financial systems for around a century or more in most cases.
And some times they assume specific or latest versions of some platform because they are currently working on it.
I remember some flink take home required some latest api, while i have worked with flink in earlier versions. It took me 4h just to go through the updated documentation, while it was supposed to be an 1h one.

I too have an LG TV that I quite like. It’s fun seeing WebOS in use and I actually like the built-in apps. Then again, it doesn’t show ads. The day it does, it’ll never see the internet again and get fed from an external device.
4 hour take home tests are an immediate no from me. It’s cheaper for you, but you’re essentially asking to do my job unpaid. If it’s an hour long interview, you’re bought in and we’re both there. A take home test does not tell me in any way that you’re serious with me for this role, and I haven’t decided your company is worth my time yet.

Typical engineering interviews are 30 minute intro to the company, hour long technical, then full on site. I put in 1.5 hours total before I know if you’re serious. I’m not putting in 4.5 hours before an on site.
Fair point, but I still prefer the solution of just putting in a new line myself. Then I don't have to worry about maintaining such a script, setting up the git hook, etc.
For some perspective, since this seems to be on the sensational side, the yearly average high for August is 117, with temperatures routinely reaching into the 120s, with similar reports found through the last decade (on mobile, can’t reference easily).

Sure you can. Take out a loan, convert it to USD at an exchange, withdraw into your bank account, buy a house.
Let's say tomorrow it will solve all 4 problems mentioned in article. Let's say it will use quantum communication so no delay whatsoever. Let's say it will be cheaper than cheapest Android device and let's say it will be easier to use than put on / take off a pair of glasses.

RTINGS is a pretty good actual review site for electronics. Sometimes I find their focus on measurable data a bit annoying. Intangibles matter aswell. But they are exhaustive reviews and make comparing very easy.
> Another way to put it is that crypto, being specified as a protocol, is likely not to be the product

I used to say to proponents of blockchain as an enabling tech, "show me a product that relies on blockchain tech but sells itself on its amazing problem-solving features, not on the word blockchain and not on the alleged value of its attached tokens"

I don't know that I've really seen such a thing yet. I stopped asking a couple of years ago I think. The few times I got a response I'd follow a link and go to a page singing the praises of a token and using the word blockchain liberally.
Wish the article went into a bit more detail on the thought process.

Code absolutely can be written in a self documenting way, just that most people don't structure their code like English/natural language. Also some languages have too much syntax bloat to be written effectively in a self documenting way.

I agree with the principle that some things are better expressed through documentation, such as motivations and higher level diagramming. But the average code base is so far from being self documenting, that the gap there should be closed first before moving on to external documentation.

External documentation creates a second source of truth that often falls out of sync with the code, so becomes a form of technical debt/maintenance burden.

The best way would be exporting docs from your codebase, and have all documentation related artifacts expressed alongside the code. Diagrams expressed in a programmatic DSL etc
I've used a wide variety (mostly 150 weight) Merino wool shirts for years, and in fact, they are basically the only T-shirts I wear these days. IMO, if you're doing a lot of travel, they are absolutely worth it - warm when cool, cool when hot, wicks away sweat and dries quickly when wet/washed all while resisting stink/BO. I'd have to agree on the cons though - I've paid $80+ for a shirt (depending on brand and country) and have experienced wear/holes sometimes in months (even with only handwashing).
No Zurich doesn't invest more they just prepay and ask the SBB for the money back, which is a way to force investment there.
Both base tunnels were paid by whole CH but don't really benefit western Switzerland which has to use the most underfunded line between Geneva and Lausanne (2nd and 4th cities by size). If there any kind of issue on the 2 tracks the traffic between the cities is blocked. About half of the train are late, as there is way too much traffic and a single glitch everything crumble.
Some works created a big hole andthe line was cut for 3 weeks. nobody in the Swiss German part gave a heck about it. If the line between Bern and Zurich (with no backup) was cut for 3 weeks it would be a national drama…
If you don't believe me, just look at the stats regarding late train between Western Switzerland and the rest of the country. It's very telling.
Basically different publications have different style guides or templates. Some places you do the type setting, others do it for you. Eventually the text ends up as a pdf, and then that is marked up for corrections, revised, and approved for publication.

You also have people of various skill levels using these docs. From MD/PhDs and lawyers all the way down to secretaries with high school diplomas. The only ubiquitous application between them is Microsoft Word.

Yes, about 20 minutes walking.

The walk to/from the office is also a very good mind-clearing ritual. It helps me separate work stress from life stress.
I know of people who have used lending protocols to borrow stablecoins, used a centralized exchange to convert those stables to fiat, and used that fiat to purchase things like cars and houses. As I understand it the reason they did this is they assumed it would avoid a taxable event?

I just discovered this channel about 6 months ago and am ridiculously hooked on it. Am I ever going to buy a right angle impact wrench or a chain saw sharpener? No, but I'll sure watch a 20 minute video on which one is the right choice.

Did you watch "The Problem With Apu"?
Thanks, got pointers?

It already works very well (seat-of-the-pants feels comparable to or better than my sshfs recollection); I managed to build Rust projects over it (with target on local FS).

Googling around suggest bumping the TCP transfer window but I don't see that as option in macOS's man mount_nfs, or any other useful option for that matter.
Important note: while a datestamp like YYYY-MM-DD does sort correctly, a datetime stamp such as YYYY-MM-DDThh-mm-ss does not because of DST and negative leap seconds.
The article is more of a reasoning than a question of why. I find it worthwhile to read and help me clarify when answering questions to junior developers on why they should focus on writing helpful documentation.
I have headsets also gathering dust, but the scenarios are there. The odd night spent doing Pavlov gun games with rando 13 year olds, having a deep fireside chat in Horizons with a guy who built the virtual cabin, and watching old Bond movies with an Israeli guy are core VR memories for me.

It's a pain to set up and get on, it has issues, but those experiences will continue to be attractive as the technology eventually fades into the background.
That's one of the standard worries about the AI box scenario.

> There is no reason to floss twice daily. This doesn't even really make sense - what would you be flossing out in the morning upon waking?

The bacteria colonies re-establish themselves after 12 hours. I can also vouch for much better state of my gums when flossing twice a day.

> You also need not use a 'rubber pointy thing' - proper flossing goes just below the gum line and will get everything you need removed.

The rubber pointy thing gets in places the floss doesn't. I know this from experience. Pockets develop that the floss doesn't get in.

BTW, if you're young it's easy to dismiss all this advice. It takes decades for poor dental hygiene to catch up with one.
> You can't use these "DeFi loans" to buy a house in the real world.

Yes you can, the same way you can with stocks. But yes as you said, you need to have more crypto than the house is worth.
I am a fan of story-focused standups, particularly the right to left mode. This makes sure that early attention is given to things that are blocked near the finish line.

This also makes sure that we focus on finishing rather than starting a new work, which happens when the standup is person-focused. Just because a person is free, they pick up a new work so that they can report something in the standup.
Thrill of the fight is an amazing game for that. I’ve collapsed in a pile of sweat after a decently short time.

Yeah no. National politics have no place in a neighborhood updates app.
The entire thesis of this article is nonsense. He sets up a strawman to knock down.

When people say “there are no use cases for crypto,” they’re actually saying “there are no use cases that aren’t solved better elsewhere.” This is the question he needs to answer and he doesn’t do so.

Looking at the money example, he says he’ll sell his laptop for Etherium. That’s fine but if nobody is willing to buy it with Etherium, he can’t sell his laptop and Etherium is de facto not being used for money.

Because he always skips this crucial last part, he never proves his argument.

That's your personal opinion, but you're not helping the discourse by answering 'why' it isn't required or even help.

Let's step outside of the box for a moment. If I'm in some other country and I don't have easy access to a credit card and I want to build out the next cool idea, how do I get access to scalable compute?
I don't know exactly the tax situation, but with stocks it's very common that founders or wealthy people in general take loans against their stocks instead of selling, so there's probably good reasons.
Fair, I should have qualified my statement to "for JS".

I don't think it's reasonable to compare to Forth/Lisp (or even Lua despite similar language capabilities) because of how pervasive JS is from a runtime perspective. Especially because this implements a sufficiently good subset that you can run isomorphic code on device, backend, browser.

> It at least doesn't lock anything up that has a file open when the network goes down.

I must admit I feel quite a bit of irrational fury when this happens (similarly, when DNS lookups hang). That some other computer is down should never prevent me from doing, closing, or killing anything on my computer. Make the system call return an error immediately! Remove the process from the process table! Do anything! I can power cycle the computer to get out of it, so clearly a hanging NFS server is not some kind of black hole in our universe from which no escape is possible.
> The best way would be exporting docs from your codebase, and have all documentation related artifacts expressed alongside the code

I LOVE Golang's approach to this [1]:

- Documentation generation from code is built in to the language toolkit

- There is a standard for writing the comments so all of them look the same across every project

- It even supports code examples which are visible as a REPL in the generated docs

When people ask "what's so great about Go?". It's stuff like that which is hard to succinctly describe but makes a huge difference in overall quality of Go code in the wild.

The word is "segue", not "segway".
The OP primed you to read it robotically. I'll admit my sentences seem somewhat contrived though.

I was delighted when I first read the short, punchy, and somewhat dislocated clauses of The Stranger by Camus. Actually, a more pertinent example is the first page or so of Molloy by Samuel Beckett. Maybe the reader is supposed to be bored; I find it refreshing.
Calling Microvium an "engine" without a runtime parser is a bit inaccurate imo. The entire purpose of Javascript is that it's a "scripting" language, so having an interactive runtime is kind of the point. And as @dmitrygr already pointed out, not using malloc/free is actually a feature, not a bug[1].
