You're almost there, IMO. This internet stranger encourages you to ditch the rule of DRYing based on the number of repetitions at all, and instead think of DRYing based on what deserves to change to together. Sometimes a single repetition in code deserves to be DRY. Sometimes 10 repetitions don't deserve to be DRY.
> Do you want to know what success is?

You’re not describing what success “is”. You are just describing something then calling it “success”.

The whole setup is like bad Platonic philosophy.

Socrates: what is success?

Useful idiot: Money!

Socrates: Ah, but will your money miss you after you die?

Useful idiot: Wow! Deep!

The "Move" to POS breaks the myth of the system being immutable and "governance-free". The people with a lot of stake in the system can change or prevent change to the system.
One of the major reasons that POS takes so long to implement is that individuals and syndicates that have invested a lot of money in to POW infrastructure block it and warn that it "doing it hastily" will harm the stability of the system. And they are right, it will harm the stability of the system because it is centralized and is governed by the individuals and syndicates with the most vested interest.

Concurrency is not solely required for performance. I'm designing a small tool (a file ingester/processor) for myself, which gonna need several, really concurrent threads. I love Python, but I can't use that, so I'm learning Go.
By this point in humanity's development, their brains had developed the ability to automatically block the parts of reality screaming for their attention, results of an economic system based on coercive consumption. Attention grabbers bifurcated into subtle, nefarious actors intent on slipping past in-brain ad-blocking and the shouters, turning up the volume and animations to make ads impossible to not see. People were subtly crippled, partially blind, now. Yet it was, after all, the mind's defense mechanism against an increasingly hostile environment trying to rob it of its most precise resource: attention.

That was, of course, until they banned psychic violence in the "Goddamn, get out of my brain" amendment in the late 21st century.
I'm going to be really impressed and surprised if this ends up working (moving ETH to PoS). I'm still fairly skeptical. It seems like PoS has so many issues that come up with additional complexity being added to handle them. Worried it's increasing the attack surface too much and making a system that's not going to be able to be secured. That being said, I hope it works but it's been "two months from merge" for 5 years so hard to say

This is great, I actually had no idea that existed! Very glad I asked the question now.

How well do they work compared to displays that are already matte by default? Is it basically the same thing or would it introduce some imperfections?
Talking out of their ass. It is a simple fact of life some folks never floss and basically don't brush while smelling equally minty to folks that floss and brush twice per day. The easiest way to figure out this is true is thinking about how few people floss (you can ask your dentist, most people don't) and how many people have bad smelling breath (easy to smell when you're in public transport).

Australian law requires that Apple enable a "backdoor" when issued a Technical Capability Notice.

On the other hand, North Korea is the way it is because they've rejected our neo-liberal ideology. I think much like TOR did for Iraq this would actually move them away from China and closer to us.

EDIT (out of comment quota): I'd hope not but I'm not convinced they aren't. It sure seems to degenerate into that more often than not.
> So you don't have to ever pay for COBRA.

Not technically true when I used it last. I did have to pay for it.

"Employers may require individuals to pay for COBRA continuation coverage. Premiums cannot exceed the full cost of coverage, plus a 2 percent administration charge."
But yes, the American Rescue Plan act allocated funds to make COBRA free. I wouldn't doubt that I was using cobra wrong at the time either prior to the passage of the act.

I live alone and work from home, sometimes the lack of others makes me feel a bit down, one usual antidote is listening to podcasts, but I also find them to be distracting. What I like to do in these situations is listen to Japanese radio shows, they are upbeat and since I understand very little Japanese they are not too distracting (at least in low volumes).

I quite enjoy the show named たまむすび (tama musubi), this youtube channel posts new episodes (is this the right term?) as frequently as they come out: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo6OJrar-0P2rqLqMVomQNw , hope it can help some of you.

What I'm saying here is that this system is designed to tax your staked ETH if you do that. So you have three choices: 1: Run a validator blocking NK transactions, safe in the knowledge it's probably legal, but your staked ETH is slowly going to taxed by the network costing you money. 2: Run a validator including the NK transactions, your staked ETH is safe, but you are violating your countries money laundering laws most likely. 3: Don't run a validator, now the only people running ETH validator nodes are those who work with North Korean money launderers, which doesn't seem like a particularly stable footing for Ethereum.

> How would Bitcoin ever move over to PoS like this? Would it just be a Bitcoin hard fork?

I believe it would be possible for Bitcoin to migrate to proof of stake with a soft fork, similar to how they migrated to SegWit. A majority of nodes (both non-miner full nodes and miners) would have to upgrade to a version which rejects blocks which do not contain a proof of stake together with the current proof of work; non-upgraded nodes would ignore the proof of stake but would still accept the blocks as valid since the proof of work is valid (this is the key difference between a soft fork and a hard fork; on a hard fork, non-upgraded notes would reject the new chain). And to get rid of the proof of work, the block intervals would have to be tweaked to make the network appear to be running slow (for instance, making every block take one minute longer, either on reality or through clever manipulation of the block timestamps), so that the difficulty adjustment gradually reduces the difficulty, until the (now vestigial) proof of work becomes trivial to compute.
Sorry. I don't know if you are saying that you won't be able to concatenate strings without operators, or if you choose a language just because it allows you to use a "a = b + c" form with strings.

For the first case, of course you can create something like:

str1.append(str2);

For the second... I don't know what to say.

> framing it as a personal preference

But follow my logic for a moment: if "str3 = str1 + str2" concatenates a string, what "str3 = str1 - str2" should do?

(Yes I know there is no minus operator for std::string)

And "str3 = str1 * str2"?

And "str3 = str1 % str2"?

I concur that, for this kind of near-civilzation-collapse risks, dams are less desirable than wind/solar facilities.

But I can't compare the risk posed by a dam and the risk posed by a nuclear fission plant.

One is an instant and relatively local disaster, the other is a long term and wide-spread (before containment) pita.

However, I suspect that dams are much harder to turn into a catastrophe than nuclear plants. While for a nuclear plant you just have to disable the cooling and move all the fuel rods all the way outside of the boron dampener and keep it this way for enough time to overheat, for a dam you would have to throw a really huge lot of explosives on it to physically destroy its concrete. There are several types of dams too, some of which are probably as strong as a natural hill.

About spent fuel: there are probably many reasons (that I don't know) why the actively-cooled-pools are not all in the middle of deserts, but right now they are just next to the plants. Of course we could put them on the Moon too, I would consider it a definitive solution (for this part of the problem).

> Current Bitcoin usage is literally a rounding error of global energy usage (0.1%) and if wildly successful would still be < 1% of energy usage. https://www.lynalden.com/bitcoin-energy/

That author doesn't seem to actually understand the scale of financial transactions in the world. Right now, there are about 300,000 Bitcoin transactions per day. The author defines Bitcoin being "wildly successful" as a 20x increase. Right now there are over 1 billion credit card transactions per day alone right now. If Bitcoin grew by 20x it still would be a drop in the bucket of global transactions but using up a relatively huge percentage of the world's energy compared to it's share of financial transactions. The author also justifies bitcoins energy usage by saying it's similar to Google's. But Google serves billions of people everyday and Bitcoin is used by a very small subset of people.

I may be the only person, but when I need to focus, and drown out the outside world, the best stuff for me is early Philip Glass--essentially anything up to the Koyaanisqatsi soundtrack. Einstein on the Beach, Music in 12 Parts, Northstar, etc., but as with another poste, nothing with intelligible language--so parts of Einstein don't work, but most of it is perfect.

There is something about the apparent velocity of the music that creates a bubble that the world, or even the non-focused parts of my brain can't penetrate.

A substantial chunk of code I've written in the last decade has been written to a Meshuggah soundtrack. I love the music, and find the more complicated time signatures (well, more complicated than 4/4, at least) interesting enough to keep me plugging away, while not getting tired of the songs the way I do when listening to more "traditional" time signature music. With any given 4/4 based song, while coding, I can handle maybe 10-16 bars of it before I'm hitting "next track". This, of course, means that every 20 seconds I'm not coding, and instead interacting with the music player, which is obviously suboptimal.
If you look at the life expectancy statistics there's usually one chart based on your current age, and incidentally I looked this up just two days ago. I am close to 40 and have an average of ~40 years to live. If I was 40y old at the time I was born, it was only about ~30 years left. At least that's my interpretation of this sentence in there.

I look at it differently. If vim is a useful tool in your daily workflow then it's probably worthwhile to invest time into customizing it and enhancing it with plugins.

The open source landscape of plug-in development is under constant evolution and it can be quite a time sink staying on top of the latest and best tooling.

I see SpaceVim as something similar to a Linux distribution. The maintainers offer the work of selecting various packages inversion combinations that harmonize into a consistent system.

And just like any Linux distribution you can agree or disagree with the packages they choose or the default configurations it comes with.

I end up using a somewhat heavily customized SpaceVim that I personally like but it's my opinion the distribution is a very productive foundation.

That's weird, it's almost like the basic premise of cryptocurrency was flawed from the beginning.
All discussions of impact of physical activity on life expectancy and/or disease invariably gets me thinking: maybe it's mostly the correlation that doesn't imply causation? Maybe people who are physically active are this way because they are healthier and thus more capable to exercise, feel less exhausted after it and get more results so are more likely to stick with it than a person who already has some health conditions, but the exercise itself has no or little impact?

It's difficult to have a study here because hard to put together a control group. Because if you take a group of physically active people and ask half of them to stop exercise for a year, of course their health will be adversely impacted because they will probably eat the same but spend fewer calories.
In total agreement. I might have couple of the same snippets of code calculating something in a program and generally would not loose my sleep over it (still will fix it when have nothing else to do). But replicating something like the source of truth is a crime in my book.
> if you still think that the US is a modern western democracy with reasonable values, wake up

One of the quirks, and ongoing debates, of the US is the strong deference to states’ rights. Don’t confuse US law with Texas law. The majority of the population of the United States actually lives in states with abortion laws that are more liberal than what you’d find in the EU, for example.

The state versus federal distinction can be very confusing to people who view US politics through the lens of the worst news stories that come out of every state. The entire US has a land mass and population on the same order as that of the entire EU, and many states have populations similar to that of individual EU countries. We have a single state (California) that has an economy larger than all of the UK combined and almost as large as India.

The United States is big and diverse. We’re going through a phase where federal power is being reduced due to politics and some of the states are doing weird stuff. If you only view the US through news stories and imagine the US as a conglomeration of all of the worst and weirdest news stories from individual states, you’re going to have a very negative view of the US in general.
