>"So far, Mr. Bukele’s trades have cost the country an estimated $63 million in lost value, according to estimates last week by the magazine Disruptive, published by Francisco Gavidia University in San Salvador."

A significant sum for any individual, but how impactful actually is this for a nation state like El Salvador? Not to blindly defend Bitcoin, but it seems like a tropical storm would inflict just as much, if not more, financial loss than this decision. And, it remains to be seen if this position will pay off in the long run.
I am guessing he means that it highlights the incompetence or even just the consequences of centralizing power.

Personally I don't expect this to bear true. Historically in China, government failures have been cited as evidence for further centralizing the power of the federal government. And this argument is bought hook-line-and-sinker by the people. I don't think that will change until there is serious economic hardship.

You can add a playlist to your library and it will show up in the Playlists section. Navigate to the playlist and look for an icon with throw horizontal lines and a check mark.
I suspect it's the director that makes it work.

Another example is the 1968 Romeo and Juliet, where the leads were kids. It's the only version of the story that really works. Both West Side Story and its remake had the "kids" way too old to be believably besotted with each other.
A point rendering the choice even more curious: Germany and the Netherlands have recommended the use of encryption not relying on the shortest vector problem [1]. The two suggestions of FrodoKEM (relying on hardness of the learning with errors problem) and Classic McEliece (relying on hardness of decoding random codes?) aren't lattice-based apparently.

Perhaps NIST knows something we don't ; ^ )

I just think it's a cyclical response to life becoming increasingly casual. In my public high school (~2005), we started doing "Formal Fridays" where we would dress up in suits. It was just a dumb, ironic fad that spanned multiple cliques and essentially went viral. At its peak, one enterprising friend bought a gross of hideous yellow-and-black "swiss cheese ties" and started selling them. Teachers were extremely concerned that it was some sort of gang/hidden meaning thing...

But I digress. Altogether, I think it's good for the industry that kids are gathering at movie theaters again and doing things like this that make memories.
I have sent an email to hello@prose.sh. Happy to continue to conversation there.
I guess if you put it next to netflix its not that expressive but I rarely use Prime for video. Once in a while something happens to be on there and its nice but 8/10 times their movie is only available on some channel I have to pay extra for.

I'd probably view prime differently if they allowed me to pay monthly like netflix or other services.

Except that Kubernetes (at least last time I checked it did) more or less ignores exactly this hard part - keeping state sane and manageable - because it's hard and implementation/vendor dependent.

The only reasonably ready "Kubernetes" project I saw attempting to solve this was SUSE/Rancher longhorn, and that was still somewhat incubating last time I checked.

Ultimately the fault lies in the police and government for having this data.
Legion is at least one counter-example. They used award winning indie film directors on a per-episode basis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_(TV_series)

The result was that each episode often had a very distinct style, which matched well to the underlying theme of schizophrenia.
I think that might have been it, yes. Nicely done, even now it doesn't feel CGI.

"Not to blindly defend Bitcoin, but it seems like a tropical storm would inflict just as much, if not more, financial loss than this decision."

I know you are just theorizing here, but c'mon. By embracing Bitcoin they did as much damage to their nation as if a hurricane had hit? That seems like an incredibly poor choice for the people who are ostensibly in charge of keeping their nation safe and stable.

I don't know. I don't think popular can be equated with good though. Love is Blind was hugely popular. It is terrible tv. The same can be said about most content. If you come up with an objective system that everyone agrees on you will be a billionaire. But anyone can tell you that popular doesnt equal good.
People didn't think Shanghai was open so that the world could come IN to China, did they? It's about the opposite direction.
I have worked in both extremes, ranging from a high rise building in the big city only available by subway, to the single campus surrounded by farms only available by car. Both have pros and cons, and suit different types of people. Now I go in two days a week to an office, and prefer working from home, but I might as well experience office life now while it is available just in case we all work from home permanently in the future.

Tom Cruise obviously works very hard at staying in shape and training for the stunts. It's not like he just shows up and says his lines like most actors.
Similar here. I often use Google itself to search for YouTube videos since the results aren't as immediately filled with random nonsense as with YouTube's own search
How it treats punctuation is indeed configurable, you can index data in multiple ways to allow the choice to be made at search time. It can also be contextually aware to distinguish for instance end-of-sentence dots from domain name or math expression dots.

Matching "foocompany.com" from "company.com" can be achieved with a wildcard or fuzzy search. If you specify an exact match then that's what you get.
> It wouldn’t surprise me if they just don’t want the testing and support overhead of supporting Firefox, and so it’s easier to block it than let people use it but it might be broken (and they then file a support ticket regardless of if it says “unsupported” etc)

So many companies mistake "support" for "support". You can have software that supports platform X without providing technical support for it when run on platform X. Commercial software companies tend to confuse these two very different meanings of support.

That makes absolutely no sense. Why would they want him to not write books and give them a story.

Even if GRRM wrote at the fastest pace he had ever written, the books would still be way behind the show.

Here are the GoT Season release years by season:
2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019.

Basically, 1 season a year, with the final season taking 2 years.

Here are the ASOIAF book release dates:
1996, 1998, 2000, 2005, 2011

So it was 2 years at its best (the first 3 books), and then it increased to 5, and then 6. He had already been slowing up badly as he tied himself up in knots, that he has been trying, unsuccessfully, to untangle for some time.

> It would be great if you could have a std::vector or Python list of plain old objects, and then tell it to add an index (using a hashtable for example) on one or two of the fields.

This is what a LinkedHashMap (1 index) and HashBasedTable (2 indices) do in the jvm-land. Admittedly, there isn't a convenience api to convert a given collection/vector to a map/table (but hey, if you're like me and write a lot of golang, then the current jvm-land status quo is already heaven!).

This article is meant to fool coders into believing they can just start their own mini-company and focus on what they like best, coding, to build recurring services for some imaginary audience they haven't found, vetted or understand yet, and live a dream life.

It'll get them excited enough to want to read more on the primary site about how to do it, how to be an indiehacker and "micro-founder", more exotic and exciting words for "entrepreneur" that have less slog associated with them. They'll sign up for the email list and get entered into a drip campaign that'll feed them more fantasy without the slog. After email 5 they'll download a PDF cheatsheet, after email 11 they'll sign up for a time-limited pre-order of the new $129 book on for $39, but only if they sign up now. They'll read the book and then sign up for the exclusive paid forum access. A few months later they'll be signed up for the $1200 video course that is a 1:1.02 rehash of the book they already bought. They'll have started subscribing to all these podcasts and going to all the sites, they'll be excited, they'll get ready to quit their job, but they still won't really know anything about how to vet and build a business, how to deal with everything themselves now that they are self-employed, or how not to spend all of their innovation chips building their new microsaas on the newest, sexiest platform on the top of HN today. After awhile you realize the person running the blog's only success was selling this dream to you and enough others like you that they can now live their dream.

It's fine if you want to start your own business and anything is possible, but this article isn't doing anyone any favours, it's just hollow, self-serving temptation pointed at a lucrative audience.

If anything, picking generic successes that seem even more easy or understandable makes it worse, because those are the hardest to successfully do. Giving very niche examples would have been more benefit, but those people generally fly under the radar.
Given that most of the health risks around cannabis (and tobacco I guess) involves the whole "inhaling burning debris" part of it, I'm starting to think the focus on the drug itself over drug delivery has been a major detriment to the whole issue. Ignoring the substance and instead shifting anything that isn't horribly addictive (though cocaine was once in Coca-Cola...) to your much more robust digestive system over abusing your lungs or mucous membranes seems like it would solve many of today's drug problems
How to use GPT-3 to parse free-text documents
No, it's quite different. With the consoles, publishers are paying for the right to use the console maker's commercial IP (i.e., the Playstation or Xbox logo on their marketing materials) and technical IP (access to software APIs for using the hardware functionality). They do not pay royalties to the console makers for each sale. (Source: I work for a video game company and deal with these contracts...)

Quite importantly, publishers don't have to pay the console makers if they want to (a) reverse engineer the console firmware so they can make use of the hardware (b) don't use the console maker's IP in their marketing materials (see Sega v. Accord, still good law), and (c) sell through retailers other than the console storefront. However, consoles are now complex enough that reverse engineering would take longer than the commercial life of the console, so it's cheaper and quicker to just pay the console maker the platform fee.

With Apple, you aren't allowed to use their commercial IP for marketing your app, period, but you can use the APIs without paying for inhouse apps. However, there are no alternative marketplaces for apps; even in-house apps must go through the AppStore.
It is silly, however by the time the car has 150-200k miles it's so old we have a new version and it's not an indicator of the current car quality.
I am both a slow thinker and forgetful, but I've learned that those are not required skills for being good at maths.

When I started my undergrad in maths (in the UK) they gave us a day 1 test to check we could recall certain pre-requisites from school. I did poorly because I had forgotten all the tricks for those particular exam questions and was put in an additional "catch up" class. It was a real gut punch and I questioned whether I was cut out for maths at all. Fast-forward six years and I ended up with a PhD in pure maths from the same university. Turned out that when given the time to read and think at my own pace and allowed reference to books and my own notes I was pretty good at abstract math.

Fast-forward another ~15 years and I'm a machine learning researcher for a SV company. The same issue rears it's head now as an inability to contribute usefully in meetings. I can't think fast enough to keep up and don't have anything useful to say when put on the spot. I much prefer to read written communication and take the time to formulate my responses. This is not the company culture though, so I do suffer problems with effective collaboration.
I had a look at the api calls and those seems fast so you are probably right.
Agreed here too... Unstructured data search tools leave too much for spammers to work with (especially when intense moderation and grooming of sources is not involved)...

The accuracy of results (In cases like HN search) is inherently flawed with unstructured data in mission critical settings unless there is an intentionally limited set of resources and contributors... Limiting contributors and resources also often defeats the purpose of maintaining a wide variety of accurate and diverse resources and results.

to a first approximation, what you’re proposing is that citizens pay their taxes, and then the state funds research at accredited non-profit institutes of higher learning.

it’s the best we have right now; it is not without drawbacks. You’re not going to escape wanting to reinvent the grant proposal system.

I think Prolog (another commenter pointed it out) and datalog do this to some extend.
Yeah I realized a while back that the quantity of content that is being created is largely due to the fact that many more demographics are being targeted widely now.

As a white 20-40 year old guy 50 years ago nearly 100% of the mainstream content was targeted at me or my family. Now that number is lower. I don't think its drastically lower but lets say its 80%. That means at least 20% of the content that is being created in 2022 I'll pop on and go, "Eh. Not for me." Which is great. Because for someone else who has been watching content not targeted at them their entire life they turn on and go, "Holy shit this is exactly what I want."

Easy way to make that content? Just retell the same stories and change things around a bit so other demographics can relate to it.
It isn’t magically flat between ocean across the US. You’d need extreme amounts of energy to get it over the mountains.
It worked with many other series, like kid-to-adult series, eg. Harry Potter. Yeah, sure, it took a bit longer than 7 years, but the age difference (actor vs character) were not that large even at the end of filming).
I was thinking about that too, but it's actually tricky, even the example given, they use the var `accessId` but you could filter for all that, even the standard ones, but you couldn't have enough confidence in it so that if someone did post with a typo or even a random var name, they would think "Okay, no warning so must be okay".

Something like giving false confidence to the user. Not the best idea.
The first run may very well be sold at a loss, but almost every console has eventually turned a profit.

I say almost because the XBox 360 may have been unprofitable over it's entire manufacturing run due to extraordinary warranty costs (red ring of death). I've read that it may have cost Microsoft more than a billion dollars, but I don't know if that's true or if that was enough to net Microsoft a loss over the 11 years it was sold.
I thought Apple was the more profitable platform however, also to develop for, which would imply that anti-competitive practices could deform the market because developers would be forced to bow to Apple since that is where the largest part of their profits would be coming from?

I'm also using and happy with Pipewire but I can't remember the last time I had a PulseAudio issue, across many systems.

My recollections of Linux audio issues are more from the days when one thing might want to use OSS and another ALSA and you might have to fiddle around and enable software mixing in some ALSA configuration files to get non-exclusive sound to work. And then some issues right around when Pulse first started to be a thing. But really it's been a "Just Works" for me for years and years.
Some of this is just the lag time between filming and when you actually see an actor. Top Gun Maverick isn’t even out and it was filmed between 3 September 2018 - July 2019.

Add some time between when you actually see a movie and you see an actor in real live and they may have been 5+ years younger when it was actually filmed.

Judging from the email in the article, systemd is still his main priority (which makes sense). With system-homed/etc he's been trying out some pretty interesting new ideas, so I wonder if RedHat has just been a too conservative for him now that systemd's off the ground and embed into distros.

As I see it, the fact that this (legitimate!) question even arises is saying a lot about SQL syntax:

Can we syntactically write a SELECT query that also does an UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE? It may be possible, or it may be not possible, and to find out which it is, one has to have a good grasp of a quite complex syntax specification.

For comparison, in Prolog, queries have a very uniform and simple syntax, and a small set of predicates is used to modify the database. You can find out whether a query performs any of these operations by meta-interpreting the query. It is easy to write a meta-interpreter for Prolog queries, and to allow only calls of predicates that you know do not affect the database. In comparison, it is extremely hard to analyze and interpret SQL queries, also because the syntax of SQL is so complex that we cannot easily answer such basic questions about the syntax.
Have you by chance checked the bug tracker, or reported this bug, or attempted to do any debugging to find the root cause?
