> So we have no idea what the reasons behind these operations are, and yet people criticize them? That's foolishness.

It's unfair to criticize secret programs because we don't know enough about them?
I think this is an unfair generalization. The core of the DID spec was developed by the folks at the Internet Identity Workshop, who have been discussing identity far longer than blockchain even existed.

Some of their members (e.g. Sovrin, Evernym) only very reluctantly included blockchain as a piece of the solution, and only then when they saw how certain aspects of blockchain were desirable for credentials and revocations without a central, controlling cabal.

Using Sovrin as an example, they did not create a token sale, NFT, or defi anything, which I think speaks volumes about their motives. Instead, they created a non-profit that was funded through traditional means.

IMO some of these founding members are legitimately trying to solve the very difficult problem of digital identity (including privacy, decentralization, and compatibility).
It's funny because in the previous discussion I got lots of "what's the problem? fix the bugs and publish your own post going through the points in this one".
That's just not true, steak refers to cuts of beef and sausage to pork products.

There is a reason that sausages made from turkey are "turkey sausages" but sausages made from pork are just sausages.

I am in favor of the ban, when dealing with food we should call things what they are. They can call vegan burgers patties, sausage like things rolls or whatever.

People who want to buy them will still know what they are getting.
Damn that's cheap, it's 1.5 EUR per FARE in Ljubljana and it as reliable as a stoner.
It's also amplified by the humiliation many kids experience when struggling in school systems. Causes a general distaste for reason and science because, in a very real way, it hurt them as a child. Not actually science and reason itself, but people pushing it and claiming to represent it.
The concentrated stuff should require a prescription IMO. But there shouldn't be restrictions on edibles in the 5mg-10mg range.
It's a survey, people talk much harder than they walk. Every time there's a big flareup of some social media-enhanced frenzy, people talk big and don't actually do anything (if everyone who ever threatened to move to Canada actual DID so, they'd have 250% of the US population by now).

People can't even successfully boycott companies that are entirely interchangeable, they're going to have an even harder time boycotting their paycheck.

Where you may see some effects in the margin are where people will apply to work, as applying takes some effort, but it takes no effort to not apply at Facebook, for example.
Hey, I'm making the world a better place through Paxos algorithms for consensus protocols!
"It turns out it's pretty easy to generate graphs that look like stock prices graphs. Just generate a bunch of random values from 0-1, then take the integral of that (each integrated value is the sum of all the previous original value)".

Functions to generate normally distributed variates exist in many languages. Why not use them instead of using uniform variates? For even greater realism, generate Student-t variates with say 5 degrees of freedom to account for fat tails in the return distribution.
For Return in particular it does make sense to compare it to 1 and 2, since Return seems to be picking the series up where Gilbert left it and ignoring what others did since then.

(For what it's worth, I remember Curse causing some controversy when it came out, because of that shift to the toon style from the original pixel aesthetic.)
This morning I was making toast in my cheapo toaster and was reminded of the Dualit a customer brought in last year for me to repair. The date code was 1997 and it sounded like it was the first heating element replacement it had needed in that time. I thought the one side/two side heating element switch was particularly clever.

Honestly I was just impressed that the parts were available. Most consumer-grade toasters use nearly-identical mechanisms, with zero available replacement parts (maybe a crumb tray if you're lucky).

PyOxidizer: Improve ergonomics of packaging and distributing Python applications
I thought you were being overly-negative, but:

> Bonsai Browser is no longer being actively developed, but contributions are welcome
Better, more effective ads are still mostly about selling people garbage they don't need. Youtube runs a lot of crypto ads, dubious political ads, and so on.
In Europe, and I think in much of the rest of the world except the US, isopropane or butane is used in common household refrigerators. Recently EU regulations were changed to allow these to be used in small split AC's as well, provided some flammability precautions are taken in the design and installation of the units.

In principle you could also go without phase change refrigerants with the reverse Brayton cycle, essentially running gas turbine cycle in reverse. But AFAIU these are not competitive with phase change refrigerants in the usual temperature ranges used for AC's and refrigerators.
When I saw the headline, I thought it was talking about BonziBuddy, a classic browser add-on from the 90s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BonziBuddy .
School is great. Not all of it obviously, and more for some people than others, but overall the pain and stresses of going to school were hugely outweighed by the fun and adventure of navigating through that system and interacting with all of those different peers and teachers. I wouldn't want to deny any kid those adventures and relationships and that exposure to our culture (for better and for worse). To be fair, I also grew up in a pretty great school system.

I feel the same way about college. I understand the arguments that college is not often worth the excessive cost if you look at it in terms of financial outcomes. But I didn't go to college for financial outcomes. I went because it was going to be (and was) a uniquely amazing adventure that I could never replicate at any other time in my life. I think going to grade school is the same thing.

Nothing can replace acting awkward around your crush in the hall, learning to navigate around the bully, bonding after class with a favorite teacher, enduring the horrors of PE or the excitement of a bomb threat, to name a few nostalgic examples.
I turned down an interview at FB because I don't believe in censorship. I didn't see the numbers but I'd bet that the paycheck would've been fatter.
At the risk of self promotion, my book (The Art of Agile Development) attempts to balance explaining the underlying theory with providing pragmatic "how to" guidance. A lot of the theory is set up in the first chapter, which is online here:

https://www.jamesshore.com/v2/books/aoad2/what_is_agile

The rest of the theory is spread throughout the book, in "key ideas" sidebars (which you can find in the index) and the "Experiments and Alternatives" sections at the end of each practice.

I'm not aware of any books that are purely about the underlying theory, but these books swing the pendulum more towards the theory side of things:

Lean Software Development (Mary and Tom Poppendieck) - if you only read one, this is the one to read

The Principles of Product Development Flow (Tom Reinertsen)

Agile Software Development, 2nd. ed. (Alistair Cockburn)

Extreme Programming Explained, 2nd ed. (Kent Beck)

The Lean Startup (Eric Ries)
The fact that you can talk this nonsense here proves the difference between HK and the west.
Your thoughts about advertising are very surprising to me. If I use an ad blocker, it has zero to do with me thinking advertising is “wrong” and everything to do with me thinking they’re an annoyance that I understand the business purpose of, but given the proper tools, I can opt out of having to experience them. It’s actually a completely un-nuanced decision that avoids any sort of judgment about the goodness or badness of advertising. In fact, it probably would be better to say that I acknowledge that advertising actually helps me by funding some things I use while I can sidestep the negatives, making ad blocking fundamentally hypocritical. If I truly thought ad-driven business models were bad and wanted to demonstrate that on moral grounds, shouldn’t I also stop patronizing businesses that are entirely based on them?

Good Post!
Also as we just saw in NYC, those visible minorities are often the ones demanding more police: https://www.businessinsider.com/eric-adams-defund-the-police...

(Similar lessons in Atlanta and Baltimore, who have majority minority electorates and minority leadership and have increased police funding.)

Democratic governments responding to rising crime with more police is totally different from non-democratic governments responding to political agitation with police.
iOS 10 is the final version which runs on 32-bit devices, and there's a decent number of those out there still. Xcode 14 has dropped support for 32-bit iOS, which by extension means it can't support iOS 10.
That sounds pretty prideful, attributing what is also somewhat luck to your perfect insight. No amount of "understanding of business and internal politics" can prevent it. But it is better than being ignorant to it all.
These aren't mutually exclusive. What isn't captured in individual posts about V is the historical context of previous discussions.

I think many people feel scorned or resentful towards the attitudes, which means they're more likely to speak negatively of it in the future.

When V was first announced, there was a lot of hype about "Volt": a cross-platform Slack app written in V (https://web.archive.org/web/20190315173156/https://volt-app....). It was slated to be released 'soon', but months went by and there was nothing. When it eventually did release, it was nowhere near as complete or polished as people were being lead on to believe. Same thing with V itself, and people were attacked for pointing this out.

There's a long history of over-promising or hyping things that don't exist, and not handling constructive criticism well. So there's a number of people who actively dislike V.

Do you think it would be beneficial to everyone to let self-interested car companies learn from tesla patents, improve upon them, patent the new designs and lock out other companies from using those newly generated patents? It seems like a pragmatic way to foster a healthy, open, and bright ev future.

The exact same kind of thinking the led US to invade Irak.

We're bringing democracy!

They will love us over there!

What could possibly go wrong!

With exactly zero understanding of the history and culture of the place.

I mean had Bremer ever crossed a US border once in his life before he was posted there?

That level of blindness and self-righteousness, while rather commonly on display in the US, is unfortunately not an american monopoly.
Also view the Docs link just below the V logo, on the link you provided. It's true quite a bit of projects these days put sample code in the readme... But it probably isn't where code examples belong. Certainly wasn't the trend in 90s or early 00s.
It's plenty justification. The federal government should not be in the student loans business as it is responsible for this debt mountain.

I have over a decade of experience working at all levels of the stack. After nearly five years at Netlify, I took some time off to work on authorship projects and I'm now finally ready for another opportunity. I've worked on a very complex entirely front-end application allowing you to do content management for static sites (https://netlifycms.org), build infrastructure powering the sites of hundreds of thousands of users, and many other projects. I'd love to join a team doing socially meaningful work at scale with interesting technologies. Please reach out if you are looking for someone with my experience or know someone who is.
Being disappointed and being rude are two different things.
not allowing employees to bring a gun to work is an entirely different thing than discriminating against gun owners.
Anecdote, but it seems to be a more common thing in Americans since we tend to idolize the rich and consider wealth equal to success. That's why Bezos, Musk, &c. show up more often than they need to in discussions for minutiæ.
Fyi: I’m upvoting any post that lists the salary and downvoting any post that doesn’t

This is a good FYI, thanks.
Google takes 45% of YouTube's advertising revenue. Videos criticizing their most popular channels directly impact their profits. The company doesn't care about protecting content consumers, it only cares about their customers (advertisers) and maximizing profits. They tolerate content creators since they actually get them views, but otherwise they would rather run ads 24/7 if people would watch them.
This submission just got flagged, so I guess the moral panic lies elsewhere.

> Gamers are the most entitled consumer group I've ever seen. It's astounding. Someone wants to create something, and there's just so much hate and negativity on something that people didn't even pay for.

I sometimes end up on Steam and the like when I search for "some-game pass level-I-find-difficult", or "some-game Linux". Almost every single thread I've seen there starts with someone asking a fairly reasonable question ("I'm having trouble with X, any tips?", "Are the developers planning to release this game on Linux? Thanks!") and quickly devolving in to a complete shitshow ("you're a lazy fake gamer if you can't pass X, it's so easy!", "lol Linux only for autistic nerds").

To say I'm not a fan of the "gamer community" is an understatement. I'm sure the majority of people who play games are nice folks, but the online spaces are dominates by obnoxious loudmouths more than any other community I've seen.

Now, I have to admit I'm also not wildly impressed by the art style of the new MI game, but you know, it's Ron's game; I can take it or leave it... (and since I'm fairly sure the writing will be as good as the earlier games I don't even mind all that much, as long as it doesn't have the horrendous controls from the 4th and 5th games I'll be happy, furthermore, I'd rather people try something new instead of merely regurgitating what was done 30 years ago, even if I'm personally not a huge fan of it).
>"As fast as C" is not a lie. It literally translates to C.

No, just because it outputs C it doesn't mean it's as fast as hand-written C. Using that logic, every language that outputs machine code is as fast as assembly, which is obviously not true.
MorphMarket.com | Senior React Developer | Remote | Full-time | Contract | https://www.morphmarket.com
I'm the founder of MorphMarket.com. We are an online marketplace that connects breeders and keepers of lizards, geckos, snakes, frogs, spiders and other captive-bred pets. Launched in 2015, we are the largest reptile-related website in the world with over 5,000 active sellers in North America and Europe on any given day. Our users passionately love the least loved animals.

We are looking to add another experienced React front-end developer to our fully remote team. Having become the leader in buying & selling, we are expanding our services for this industry.

Our backend is implemented in Python, of course. We use Django/Postgres/Redis with a front-end of React for new development. These new pages are replacing our older JQuery/Javascript/Bootstrap pages. As a FE dev, you could think of yourself as a Python handler. :)~

Check out our recent work in this demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNrGkf20NPc

Key skills: React, Typescript/Javascript, SCSS, Bootstrap, JQuery. React Native. Good knowledge of webpack, flexbox, debugging, browser caching, performance profiling, web performance fundamentals. Pragmatic: ability to balance quality and speed. Nice to have: Django, Apple App Store & Google Play experience, AWS services like S3 and Lambda.

There are 8-10 people on our product team. We collaborate with Github and Slack. We are a bootstrapped family-owned startup, with strong revenues and growth. As a developer myself, I try to keep things fun and interesting for the team.

Initial engagement is at least two months of full-time contract work possibly extending much longer. Most working hours should be during US timezones.

Please contact us at jobs@morphmarket.com with a statement of interest, relevant qualifications/experience, and billing rate. Thanks!
The positive-to-negative comment ratio in that thread is overwhelmingly in favor of positive. A couple of the top-voted posts are more critical, sure, but once you scroll past those it's full of support and inquisitiveness.

Edit: Even the person who posted the top-ranked comment, with the more negative tone, ended their follow-up response with, "All of your feedback was well-thought-out and appreciated; I only hope that I was able to give you a sneak preview of some of the potential criticisms you may receive. Best of luck to you!".
I was working on a NLP(ish) idea for a while and got a descent prototype put together, but haven't had time to take the project past that. The idea was to train a model to classify tone of voice (a kind voice, angry voice, whiny voice, etc).
Writing this out again now. I wonder if we could train a model to predict whether a statement is sarcastic or not..
