It’s not measured with credits afaik, taxation happens at the time of carbon extraction from the ground or at the border if extracted elsewhere, or at the border for imported goods that haven’t had a carbon tax applied, to avoid disadvantageous local manufacturing. Inside the country it’s totally transparent, the price is just baked into fuel/goods made with fuel, from that initial tax. Things that use a lot of fuel get a lot more expensive, things that already used clean energy likely stay about the same, citizens get the receipts back, split evenly, so if you consume less carbon than average, you come out ahead. Corps don’t get rebates/credits.

Make sense? Obviously a ridiculously tall order politically, maybe impossible, the rich would take the brunt, but it’ll also be harder for the middle/upper middle class to jet across the country.

I’m also pessimistic about MMT and it’s effects, but I’d view that as more of a political necessity to keep the music going for debtor nations than something most economists thought was actually ideal. No one has the stomach for austerity, and it frankly would probably be catastrophic anyway, we just have to try to inflate our debt away without hitting hyperinflation.
From beneath the Peabody, a time capsule from 1923
What country do you live in? Because I know plenty of folks in certain countries with massive inflation and projects such as bitcoin are their refuge from 100-1000% inflation a year.

When you say “in 10 years” when did that 10 year time frame start and end? Are talking about the 1960s or the 1990s? Because most people I knew didn’t start using the internet regularly until the mid to late 90s or about 30 or so years after it’s inception. 10 years is still pretty early in terms of adoption. I know people who still have never used email…
Okay, so your indirect answer to my question is, Fred Rogers was practicing the anti-racism of 1970. Super! The article (published last year) does not make that distinction, and it seems like a disingenuous attempt to legitimize modern anti-racism by conflating it with the past version.

If you already have a Nix based development environment, it's much less work and more reliable than patching something worse up with homebrew.
And it trains users that product names change constantly, so they're easier to phish. Normal users never learn good habits because they can't keep up with the constant churn.
If it’s hard to find a job doing what you want with only a Java role on your resume, then it’s not going to be any easier with two Java roles on your resume. In fact it may be harder for you to want to leave if the new job pays better. This isn’t to say it will be impossible, but you have to have a plan to get where you want to go.

To me a more important question would be, how are you planning to get the experience you need to move into that area if your day job can’t / won’t provide it?

Have you looked for Java backend roles at companies that also work on the lower level stuff you’re interested in? Moving between job areas is sometimes easier when you’re moving within the same company.
Why purchase shares in a company if they don't pay dividends?
I hope Docker is not the final answer to reproducible and isolated processes because it’s a bit too complex and slow on anything other than Linux, IMO.

Linux virtualization almost became a mandatory feature of a modern OS because of it.

I wish there was something that would run on any POSIX, but that’s probably not enough ground to cover complete reproduction.
I completely disagree. It took me a while to work through the peculiarities of NixOS and get my OS setup, but the benefits are immense now that I'm using it. And I'm using it as a daily driver at a large tech company developing and maintaining mission critical systems.

It's really no different from Vim in this respect. Most people will bounce off due to the learning curve, but once you get past it, the benefits are too great to go back to a more crude system. In fact it was easier to learn and setup than Vim for me.
Yeah this post is basically how to build your own wrapper around nix to manage your Mac user environment because you didn't like some of the decisions the nix maintainers made. It's easier to just install nix following its directions and then exclusively use nix-shell or nix develop (with flakes) to activate development environments with specific tools. Kind of like a python virtual environment on steroids. Forget entirely about managing your user's global tools and packages unless or until you want to do that, you could just keep using homebrew!
But then you have to ask: why not?

The internet did not have to overcome network effects in the same way that cryptocurrency has.

If there was a "super-centralized" network that already had major success (for example, imagine a world in which teletext or something was dominant before the internet) then the internet/web may have had a serious competitor. Instead, the internet was largely reverse-compatible with previous networks such as the phone network through dial-up.

Additionally, the latest wave of cryptocurrency hucksters have been selling their cryptocurrencies as a solution for a problem that cryptocurrency just does not solve. It is one thing to claim that they're wrong; it's another to claim that cryptocurrency has failed its original purpose entirely.

Isn't the point of public defenders to protect people who don't have this amount of money?

Isn't this only true in cases where bail isn't offered?

Who's actually ever said anything like that?

So after 10 years, is Bitcoin the only one though?

The Internet? In the 1980s there were virtually little to no users. Until the Web came around in the 1990s so did the dotcom speculators and then after the crash, 90% of those internet startups died. Only then the survivors added value to it. Even Web 2.0 was seen as a 'scam' [0].

I'm sure you meant the web?

There are probably tens of thousands of people whose daily lived experience is that command-line administration of GUI desktops is all they've ever needed and yes, in fact, totally supplants the alternative. I am really struggling with this thread; it's my impression that you've a very narrow view of what people are doing with their computers.
The real truth of the world that nobody likes to acknowledge is just that. The vast majority of the population is 'pipelined' simply because it's logistically impossible for more than a few million people to be the 'best' (or even top 10) of the most obscure niches, even in our hyper specialized world.
>More specifically for transfem use of 2mg orally is considered a low dose

That refers to "regular" estradiol. Ethinylestradiol is much more powerful. You can't compare doses 1:1.
Failing to distinguish the moral difference between actions like the German Imperialism and literal holocaust i.e. murdering millions of people in chambers, and the Allied liberation of the Continent - and especially gaslighting those that point out that obvious difference between the two by calling them 'children' and 'war pigs' - has to be one of the most repulsive things one can possibly do in writing, so no, f&&k you.

This whataboutism is exactly why RT is currently suppressed: the Russians have painted Ukrainians as a 'non people' who do not have an identity and do not deserve to exist, with rampant cultural Nazism embedded in the society, in order to justify their invasion, conquest, mass murder - and they want to the world to see it this way as well.

A large swath, possibly the majority of Russians, believe in this incredulous repulsive lie, and are happy to see Ukranian citizens mass killed, just hop on Telegram to see what is in 2022, something you didn't believe modern people would ever say.

This is the effect of RT and 'Russia One' TV, where every day Russians are subjected to hours and hours of beyond pale insanity.

Literally on this day, Russians have murdered about 50 prisoners near Donetsk by blowing up a prison camp, while blaming their repulsive crimes on Ukrainians themselves. This is likely to destroy evidence of a crime committed just yesterday, whereby Russians cut off the testicles of a Ukranian soldier, put them in his mouth, shot him, tied him to a car and dragged him through the streets. [1]

Literally on this day, on Russia One, ex-Russian General and Duma member is calling for Russia to 'bomb Berlin' into the Dust - in front of millions of Russians. Every few days they yell about 'Nuking London and the entire UK'. They do this for three hours every day, on the 'primary' TV Channel, of course state-backed. [2]

From an 'information perspective', this matters, because apparently, about 10-20% of people 'in the West' will just 'believe' these utterly repulsive lies (akin to Hitler blaming the death of the Jews on the 'invading Americans') - which is why we suppress this information.

Thousands of random Telegrammers (such as Олег Царёв - follow the links in his feed) perpetuate horrific propaganda, in some ways much worse than anything apparently the Nazis were doing at least in public, for millions of Russians to be elated. Again, obviously a concern about how information is propagated - it elicits people into a bloodthirsty fervour.

Surely Hitler had a few legit complaints about the Versailles agreement, fair enough, but we still would not have wanted to broadcast his speeches live to the entire world in the name of 'free expression'.

And so, don't want this repulsive Russian ultra-fascism on our airwaves. If someone really wants to find it - they can.

Moral absolution is never black and white, it's often close enough.

> the consensus of the community seems to be that there's no need for a rails-like framework for Clojure

Maybe (I’m not really sure how you judge community consensus) but, tangibly, the problem of libraries being old, broken and unmaintained while people go off and build new things is real.

It’s also undeniable that (see https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/w9roqv/is_there_an... for example) that there are tonne of half baked efforts in the web space.

Maybe they’re unrelated.

There are lots of argument you could make;

Clojure has simultaneously tried to distance itself from the JVM and but also eat the cake of “just use the Java library for that”.

I personally think the “you don’t need to use the Java runtime” has seen a de facto split in the ecosystem which is also partially to blame.

Kotlin has been very successful at what is basically the same model, and it is different how? Stronger guiding principles? Found a silver bullet use case in android apps? Benefit of strongly opinionated steering from jetbrains?

I don’t think is technically more sophisticated than clojure, but it’s definitely more successful and popular.

I think we have to face the facts; clojure is flat if not already in decline. I know, usage goes up every year in the survey, but the ecosystem isn’t healthy. Especially in the web space.

> Most of Clojurians are satisfied with what we have in the Web front

Most? Geez. I think that’s a big call. I literally only ever hear people complain about this.

I am not satisfied by the current state of affairs. :/

Even managing global/user packages is fine, if you want parity with a normal package manager. nix-env is pretty simple to get started with.

Managing that declaratively is slightly more challenging. That’s when you need to understand the Nix language and use something like home-manager or the file approach in the blog post. But at this point, Nix is competing against something like Ansible/Puppet and not a standard package manager.
There are a lot of much better assets to buy as an inflation hedge.
Every complex tool is complicated, like planes with a lot of dashboard, buttons, levers and other stuff. But if you learn it you can achieve awesome success. Nix is same if you use right way after some learn, for example, to create reproducible dev environment.

Crypto is more and more centralised because the hardware to run your own node is now thousands of dollars. That is without even getting into miners...It is kinda failing.

You may want to follow the thread where we continue to discuss it in good faith. I think they’re sincerely inquisitive, and sincere (and impressively candid!) in expressing their understanding gap.

I think the various “assume best intent” rules and adages would benefit greatly from a huge “assume limited familiarity when dismissiveness seems out of place” addendum. At least for technical topics where the stakes are “whoops we actually just disagree on the merits”.
Neither side is "right" or "wrong", because this is not actually a binary thing. The two sides are judging the level of risk involved and whether or not that level of risk is acceptable, and they are coming to different conclusions.

V8 is undeniably intended to be a secure sandbox. Chrome relied on V8 as the only thing isolating web sites from each other for about a decade. A couple years ago, Chrome implemented "strict site isolation", which adds defense in depth by also forcing every "site" into a separate OS process. However, this does not mean that the Chrome team no longer cares about V8 itself being secure. Strict site isolation is a defense-in-depth measure. Google will pay a bug bounty if you break either layer.

However, V8, like any piece of software, has bugs. The possibility of security bugs implies some level of risk. The question is, how much risk is there, and it is acceptable? V8 is complex, and as a result it tends to have more bugs than, say, a virtual machine hypervisor. Hence, it is argued that V8 is more risky. Some believe the level of risk is unacceptable for a server environment.

On the other hand, V8 receives more security research and better fuzzing than any other sandboxing technology. Most bugs in V8 are actually found by Google's own fuzzers. And process isolation is only one kind of defense-in-depth possible here; Cloudflare Workers implements many other types of defense-in-depth that align better with our particular requirements.[0]

My take -- as the tech lead of Cloudflare Workers -- is that people are broadly overestimating the risk because the approach is different. In fact, I personally believe that typical cloud environments which allow you to run arbitrary native-code binaries are much riskier. The reason is, sandboxing native code doesn't just require secure virtual machine software, it also requires bug-free hardware. CPUs are extremely complex, certainly much more complex than V8. Do we really believe they don't have any bugs which allow VM breakouts? What happens if someone finds such a bug, and it's not possible to mitigate without new silicon? Say it turns out some obscure instruction accidentally allows unchecked access to all physical memory -- what then? It would be quite a disaster for the industry.

In contrast, if your platform only accepts non-native code formats like JavaScript and WebAssembly, it's much easier to respond to such bugs by e.g. controlling access to the buggy instruction.

So frankly, my take is the entire industry has accepted a much higher level of risk already, but people don't talk about it much because it's already broadly accepted as the status quo. Cloudflare Workers gets more questions because we've made a different judgment.

With that said, it's absolutely possible for smart people to disagree on all these points, and probably neither side will ever be proven definitively right or wrong.

I hear this a lot. I want details:

- Which countries?

- What portion of the population are benefiting from crypto? Is it a tiny portion of nerds or has it become more mainstream now?

- With the crash in cryptocurrency over the last few months are these people in those countries still glad that they used this, or are they regretting it?

I don't doubt that there exist individuals in countries with high inflation who have befitted from the crypto boom. I want more than just anecdotes about individuals: I want to understand if this is a widespread, sustainable trend.
I thought about adding the author wikipedia link with the article link to the email to my carnivore/omnivore friends but removed it because it does not matter, data don't lie.

It reminds me of the transition of eminence based medicine to evidence based medicine. Even the latter has had its troubles, just look at science publishing and questioning of the peer review framework.

I've used webpack for several years now and have written custom plugins to accomplish what I need. esbuild-loader gives great typescript performance almost on par with vite so I don't see the need to learn a new build system.

Those bits moved around in the "crypto world" represent real world things. Do you also believe that email has no real world applications because it just involves moving bits between computers or that the money in your bank account isn't real because it's just some bits in a database?
I am not big on the jpeg NFT marketplace, but I'm also not a collector of baseball cards or magic cards or cool skins for my video game character. There are stark similarities between NFT jpegs and any other virtual asset, right? A good use of NFTs can be representing the virtual ownership of a unique artwork, like a receipt that comes with the physical purchase. Being the "true" owner of something has a value. Music CDs often come with a code for the digital version. Isn't that an NFT? But yeah I'm still not buying anybody's jpeg.

mvsqlite doesn't rely on the SQLite WAL or rollback journal for safety. Actually, it enforces journal_mode=memory! The atomic commit semantics is guaranteed by FDB instead.

The limit on max number of open DBs looks low, but maybe short-lived attaches can be done? Like attach just before the transaction and detach after commit. This should be enough for common transactions involving just a few DBs.

Of course it had to.

There were absolutely successful networks. AOL (America Online) was the biggest, while CompuServe was the older one.

I remember (alas) consciously choosing not to invest in .com domain names in the mid-90's because I assumed both they and AOL room names (if that was the term?) would just be passing fads on the way to whatever better newer network would exist ten years later, with a newer name system.

The internet absolutely had to overcome America Online, at least in the US. (It helped that, early on, many/most people could access the internet via AOL, before local ISP's became widespread.)
Why? Some enforced socialization, structure, discipline, and responsibility would do them a world of good.

handshake is at handshake.org

in my mind they're both decentralized and distributed peer to peer systems which aim to provide global public internet infrastructure (which is what i find to be the interesting part).

handshake has a cryptoconomy and gnunet is more a traditional peer to peer network.

handshake is probably the cooler of the two, if you ask me.
