One thing to note is that while Celsius, a centralized and opaque yield platform, collapsed, not a single major DeFi protocol failed during a period of enormous stress. MakerDAO, Aave, Uniswap, Curve, Lido and Compound all had perfect 24/7 uptime with zero losses due to unrecoverable debt.

This pretty clearly strengthens the case for pure and transparent DeFi, where anybody can inspect the health of the protocol or the rules of the immutable code. In contrast Celsius failed because it was an opaque black box that primarily lent to other opaque black boxes like Three Arrows Capital.

For a long-time a lot of people just getting into crypto felt like the CeDeFi platforms like Celsius or BlockFi were "safer" than the pure on-chain protocols like Aave or Curve because they didn't have to worry about managing their own keys, there were humans in charge, and a nice corporate entity standing behind it their deposits. As it turns out, decentralized autonomous protocols were substantially safer.
Just buy the tank manufacturer.

But seriously, there are lots of ways to invest in a private military capability that are legal and miles more efficient than tanks. Guarantee you that's happening.
Yes. And, alas, you can't just allow a final trailing comma everywhere in Haskell.

Eg ("Foo", 2,) is different from ("Foo", 2) in Haskell thanks to TupleSections. For innocent bystanders: in Haskell ("Foo", 2) is the tuple you'd expect it to be. But ("Foo", 2,) is a function that takes another argument and creates a three-tuple. A Python equivalent would be

lambda x: ("Foo", 2, x)

No. The CEL tokens are not securities, and do not represent any debt or equity. CEL holders are not entitled to any claim on Celsius' assets.

The CEL token's sole purpose was as a tool to offer users promotional rates (and maybe for a bit of insider pump-and-dumping).
For one thing, Dhall is not Turing complete. You can also freeze imports to prevent supply chain hacks, so it is much safer in theory.

I'm genuinely curious why you say this. Could you please elaborate? I've only worked at publicly traded companies.

I don't understand how this wouldn't be the exact situation you'd want to be in. my understanding is this:

1. If you're granted options at price X, and the new share price is lower than X, you're under no obligation to exercise your options. So no real financial loss or cost to you.

2. If you're granted options at price X, and the new share price is higher than X, you're still under no obligation to exercise your options. So it's up to you now.

3. You've exercised options at price X and now it's less than that. Well that sucks. No significant different from publicly traded shares being bought and suffering a price drop. Granted, it's easier to sell your public shares at a loss for reducing tax liability on other capital gains.

4. If you exercised options at price X and it went up then yay, you're winning.

5. If you are ensured to have been given $X worth of options, and your options have dropped to $Y, and now you'll be granted options to cover the difference of $X and $Y, these latest options will be granted at a lower price, $Z, and therefore will be better priced overall. Which would mean you could now exercise the options granted at the higher price or the ones granted at the lower price. Doesn't seem like it really matters or affects anything since the net gain is the same for the year.
You can do the same, if your language allows a final comma.

(And that's what the comment you reply to suggests: make Dhall allow a final comma.)

No, scientific progress is made by people educated in a particular field of study in the work of prior authorities in that field, making hypotheses and following established experimental methods, then publishing their results for review and verification by their peers. In other words, by the "centralized authority" of scientific consensus.

Science absolutely does not work by just letting everyone believe whatever they want and somehow just expecting the truth to "win."

That's one way to interpret things, but not the only way.

In practice, this style reads just fine once you get used to it. Indentation is mostly there as a human convenience, so just has to work well with human brains (and be understood by a computer, if it's significant), but doesn't have to necessarily follow some abstract unified theory of syntax trees.
Let's imagine that for any desired outcome you can empirically derive a function of the form:

success ~= ability * effort * environment

Let's take your effective intelligence as your measure of success.

Then your ability is your innate capacity for intellectual activity, your effort is how you apply yourself in situations that require intellect, and your environment is everything else about your life, including your capacity for motivating yourself.

Taking properly prescribed psychiatric medicine will dramatically change the environment in which you are applying your intelligence.

If your environment is otherwise driving your effective intelligence down to zero, is there really a risk?

JIS, Big5, UHC, and GB all use a codepoint-to-character approach. You're right to point out that many aspects of "multilingual" support are written by people who do not know another language and so end up being hopelessly misguided but it's not really fair to say that Unicode invented this and thrust it upon the CJK world. Every pre-existing system of representing 漢字 had a codepoint table (which Unicode references in their description of each character).

Han Unification was in my view problematic but was driven by technical limitations (then again, if Simplified Chinese characters had also been unified I suspect there would've been more pushback to come up with a better solution, but ultimately Japanese was stuck with being the only one making a major compromise on that front).

I don't think a stroke based or combination system would've been better for many reasons: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32102093. And if you don't trust Americans who at least tried to learn about the subject matter, how much do you trust any other programmer (who has no interest in other languages) to be able to handle a more complicated system for representing and rendering 漢字?
It's not universally advantageous and I never said it was. I think you're missing my point. If someone is looking for a world city, there aren't very many in the US. I didn't say I am looking for them or that you should be looking for them. I am suggesting that the original commenter is looking for them and struggling to find them. My comment is simply that: a comment about how I'm surprised there aren't more world cities in the US.

I don't think it's as nefarious as that. What people are calling the "public" position here is the value of preferred stock sold in a financing, and the "internal" valuation is the value of common stock. They're different things - the preferred stock has downside protection and other special rights that make it more valuable than the common stock so it should have a different price. These internal valuation reports pretty explicitly calculate the value of the common stock as a discount applied to the preferred stock price, due to the rights and liquidation preferrence and the fact that the common is not freely tradable.
Interesting but I don’t see the relevance here? LUNA has fallen by enough that it’s a rounding error against assets. CEL (the Celsius token) has not.

Either you’re doing that with a smart contract, or you’re just plain trusting the other people to reverse it when asked, in which case there’s zero reason to be using a blockchain to begin with.

You don’t want or need trustless ledgers to interact with trusted parties - that’s a big increase in complexity for zero gain.

How did your boss know your interview targets, much less the contact points? Unless you told someone, no employer would reference check you before you even came to interview. This sounds a bit loose.

Most of the time with configuration files, you want to be able to do at least basic validation on the config without having to run the whole piece of software. Python has no native typing, so there's nothing to stop the user from creating a configuration file where, for example, they have set a field that is intended to specify a port number, as a string. This error will become obvious when you run the software (and it presumably fails some way in) but for some use cases this is too late. With dhall you can specify that the field for the port number needs to not just be an integer, but be a natural number, so you're able to catch plenty of config errors nice and early, and can go some way to validating the config in isolation from the software it's intended to be used for.

Went through a very rushed process at Google. Got a verbal thumbs up. Was invited to come in and meet a member from my future team for lunch. Was told written offer was incoming in a week. Was called 2 days later and told the committee rejected my packet. Zero feedback. Was randomly invited to interview for another role a week later which I thought was audacious. It killed any desire I had to work there.

Hey, I'm not expecting you or anyone else to spend time or resources on this. These threads were all prompted as replies to different forms of dismissal of other individuals claiming that element-desktop is slow. I want Element to be great and to be able to honestly vouch for it.

It would be more honest to say something like "element-desktop works great on macOS and keeps improving on all platforms", rather than pretending like anyone with issues is an edge case. Could it be that you, who work closely to the product, are more of an edge case?

We all have our blind spots.

If you have time at some point, maybe spin up an Ubuntu/Fedora/whatever VM, install element-desktop, sign in to your account and try to use that as your desktop driver for two weeks. Should be straight-forward enough on a Mac. It needs to be with your largest account. Consider it a challenge.

Golang Template Library(WIP) using generics

Yeah the near-term and long-term RISC-V products haven't materialised yet. Software hasn't matured all that much either.

I was looking at the iMx8 but like you said, anything with automotive or embedded applications in mass produced systems is hard to get. I've seem them used in security devices that do a bit of on-device pre-authentication and even there I'm hearing about supply issues. It was mostly Apalis COM based but they had the benefit of switching between a Tegra and iMx version whenever supply was getting constrained. (or essentially the prices started getting bumped before the next order cycle) I think the lead times for some models became over 36 months at some point (either the imx8 ones or the Tegra ones)... yikes.

Regarding the GPU and DMA blocks: that seems to be the standard at this stage. I guess it's because it's mostly licensed IP and because they need to honour the NDA from their upstream vendor, we're just getting the blobs as a side-effect. Same with the Zinq and some of the Sitara GPU cores they got from PowerVR. Luckily, that last one has gotten a lot of FOSS attention and besides loading some startup firmware or microcode it's largely free.

The whole 'freedom' thing doesn't have to be an ultimate goal here, but it does have the nice side-effect that it opens up the use of mainline source trees, broadly used and well-maintained tools and toolchains etc. instead of just some giant tarball the vendor prepared for a specific kernel and boot loader combination. And if the vendor decides to focus on the next new shiny thing, you can just port/upstream sources as needed to keep your project going, vendor be damned.
