Do you actually have anything to say, or are you just going to avoid having to form coherent arguments by saying “what about communism” to anyone who replies to you.
Oh no, the domain name doesn't suit your taste? I guess that means the reasoning in the article must be bad!
The core devs have implemented a “difficulty bomb” in order to pressure the community to adopt their changes. If you don’t accept their hard forks you will stuck operating on a chain where you can’t mint new blocks.

It’s not quite force or coercion but it’s something close. It allows the Ethereum team to operate similar to a software company and retain tight control over the so called decentralized network.

This is a primary example of why many people argue that Ethereum operates more like a security.
Sorry, but I'm not interested in engaging with capital-realists. "The best of all the bad systems" platitudes doesn't really anything for people without homes.
This is the most similar to my case -- I left Apple five months after joining.

The bad thing is that I left in the middle of a team transfer. I didn't actually complete the transfer to the team whose manager wanted me. It's gonna be rough asking for my old job back... who would you suggest I contact first? My recruiter, or the manager on the team I was about to join?
jononomo's claim is factually correct. It's been experimentally proven in metabolic ward studies that dietary protein is never stored as body fat. While hypothetically it appears that since there is a protein to glucose pathway and a glucose to lipid pathway that excess protein could conceivably be stored as body fat, what actually happens is the kidneys just eliminate the excess nitrogen. Again, that's not a theoretical result. It has been observed repeatedly in metabolic ward studies. For those who aren't aware, a metabolic ward study is run in what is effectively a prison. The study participants are physically deprived access to any food or beverage except that which the experimenters provide. Needless to say these studies are extremely expensive, since people expect to be well compensated for being imprisoned for weeks or even months.

Incidentally, when it comes to health, weight gain and weight loss are of relatively minor importance compared to body composition. Gaining weight in your musculoskeletal system is a good for survivability and quality of life! Denser muscles and bones are not a bad thing. It's excess body fat, in particular visceral body fat, that causes morbidity and mortality. If you get fat enough your body will start storing those lipids in your vital organs, and that's a recipe for inflammation, early cancer, and other kinds of death.

Edit: here’s a fun story about a normal guy trying a high protein diet: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-rock-dwayne-johnson...
I interviewed for a company once where I got a real dataset from their business and just a vague assignment to analyze the data and find something that could be optimized better. So I came up with a suggestion on how to improve factor A, but they told me later that what they were looking for was for the candidates to come up with suggestions on how to improve factor B.

Why factor B was deemed more important than factor A wasn’t something that possibly could have been understood from the dataset alone.
Personally I've just stopped using social media because there's no reason to have the type of reach it gives you unless you're, well, advertising (whether that's yourself and/or personal brand, a product, a political position, etc.). However, even though rare, every once in a few years I really do need to reach out to someone I don't regularly talk to digitally or get in touch with someone I was much more connected to previously. I think there's truly a place for a hyper pared down "global phone book" type of application.

In terms of real connections: I prefer to share things that matter in my life directly with people who care to hear about it. And, notably it has advantages you lose on social platforms like being able to read the room, having a pretense of trust and assumption of goodwill and intent, synchronous engagement that makes true debate possible, and most importantly speech is not regulated. You can have a beer and speak your mind amongst real friends.

In my opinion, it's not real connections that are being devalued, it's needing to uphold the illusion that you have 1600 of them that is tiring and obnoxious (and simply not possible). Where I think you're onto something is that I'd say it's less important that real connections start IRL. It's perfectly normal to meet someone online and become close, possibly eventually turning into an IRL friendship, too. So I agree that it's less important to maintain "friendships" in the way that those of us who had FB in HS thought was going to matter in a social media world. But I don't agree that that means "real" connections are being devalued. Most people are just fine with ~10 real good friends and some family here and there.

they can't do anything they want because they still face the risk of replacement. Monopolistic competition is the dominant form of activity in innovative economies, temporarily outsized profits scale enable innovation and long term planning. (which benefits consumers)

MySpace in 2007 had 80% of social network traffic, turns out it could not do what it wanted. Advanced tech economies generally consist of monopolists replacing each other, not bazaar economies.
Maybe it's just me, but I find meetings to be way more mentally fatiguing than, say, coding. Even if I'm just listening in.

A 1.5hr meeting cooks me. After a showcase, which can go for 2 hours, I'm done for the day.

However what works for me isn't having a rest, or flicking through YT for some quick mental rewards. A good walk, or doing some gardening, mowing the lawns - basically anything physical - helps me regenerate. Especially being outside.

That's been a big benefit of working from home. Yesterday at lunchtime I just went out back with a skillsaw and cut a whole bunch of wood for an hour (not random cutting, I need it for a project haha). Came back in feeling great!
Man I remember that. Great device if you wanted to tinker, terrible music store.
The stakers have to perform consensus network and block building actions continuously online, or they are penalised by losing value from their stake over time rather than gaining it. The penalty is reasonable so a small downtime during updates and such isn't a problem.

This incentivizes them to have reliable networking and hardware, running 24x7.

However they are heavily penalised if they are seen to do things like double-voting by accident, so they can't just put up duplicate systems and forget about it. High availability failover is something they can only do carefully.

This is different from the current proof-of-work miners. If a miner stops or screws up, they won't gain mining fees during the stop, but they don't lose anything either.
Agreed, the closest thing to filling that general keeping in touch for me is WhatsApp groups (other group chat apps are available). In my social group that's where pics get shared, things get organised and general life updates go. Groups form quite naturally along lines that mirror real life and groups fall apart and people move on as they do in real life.

Facebook had a short lived glory when we were all open with ourselves. But inevitably it wasn't long before the issues came. Someone posts a pic on a night out with some friends and another mutual friend gets upset they weren't invited. That creepy friend of a friend starts liking all your bikini pics. The nice friend of a friend starts posting attention seeking stuff that makes you like them a bit less. Family politics get aired in public.

People shared less of their lives and except for a few egotists there isn't much of that old genuine content we all loved. It's all content aggregation filler now.

Chat groups allow for keeping in touch but allows us to those groups like the 'No Homers Club'
That’s not why. It’s because the low hanging fruit has been picked decades ago so it seems, and usually is, unlikely that a 17 year old would be able to create something people paid to think about this with sustainable financial incentives were unable to do.

>I actively discourage it because it is terrible economics for clients: it’s burning money.

Here’s how I did this on software dev projects in the past that I thought was very fair. I did a monthly retainer of $xx,xxx, where that number is equitable for everyone and is actually discounted off the equivalent hourly rate. Why? Because it’s a pain in the ass to track hours, to argue with you in advance over how many hours each task is going to take, to argue after the fact about why it took more hours, etc, etc. So for me, it’s worth a discount to just bill the client monthly, do the work, and everybody wins. But more often than not, clients still wanted to pay the hourly rate premium.
Only if the interviewer cooperates with candidate. In my past cases, some interviewers are just nuh-uh or "let's continue" or just keep saying the original ambiguous requirement without stating additional requirements or giving any feedback.
Realistically no blockchains that I'm aware of have any incentives for that. A lot of the Ethereum ecosystem is running in us-east-1.

I started using modems in the late 80's. My first one was 1200 baud. Never once did a modem negotiate 300 baud on its own, even in the worst conditions. Were you connecting through a tin-can with string?

Terminal emulators are not CPU intensive applications. I ran one on an Apple II (8-bit, 1 mhz) and it could keep up with at least 2400 baud. If you were refreshing the screen with vi, I could see it being slow.
My primary HN account has a lot of other things in it that I'd rather not be associated with me being an "Amazonian", hence this one :)

Manager performance is not tied to connections data. However, manager's performance is tied to the kind of facets of team cohesion, productivity, satisfaction, and delivery that the Connections data. Does that make sense?

And it's not a terrible proxy. For example, it would be relevant if a manager was measured on their ability to hire and retain people, right? Well, if certain connections questions have a direct correlation with people leaving the team, you can imagine someone would tell the manager "Fix this connections score, or else people will leave the team."

But if they fixed the connection score, but people still left the team, they wouldn't be able to get away with that as a success. The metric is a proxy, not the target.
The 'quick and dirty' answer to that question is that the 737 MAX was a quick fix rather than a more expensive redesign from scratch.

By adding bigger engines and not moving the plane's center of gravity to the correct position by shifting the wings also, the plane becomes intrinsically unstable and no longer airworthy. That was 'fixed' by changing the aviation software to allow the computer to assist in flying the plane. That's all well and good, if the software is correct. But unfortunately for those passengers and crew concerned, that wasn't the case. They died.

In colloquial terms, what they did at Boeing was 'put lipstick on a pig' rather than bear the cost of developing and producing a new, stable, airworthy plane.
I think it's french for "Death Pledge".

This is awesome.

He mentions not having a mentor... "“I didn't have a mentor to help me, really,"

But I am skeptical about that claim-- I think good guidance by good parents is arguably mentorship.

A quick google search yielded a family run HVAC company, Sasone-AC in St. Lucie, Florida, which is essentially a suburb next to Fort Pierce, Florida, where Robert Sasone resides. Nicolas Sansone is an owner & Vice President of Sansone-AC. Nicolas Sansone who is related to Robert Sansone.

I think it's likely this kid's father, mother, uncle, etc. is an engineer and/or entrepreneur/business person (or engineer/scientist of sorts) and mentored him.

My dad was an alcoholic doctor and all I turned out to be is a software engineer (I say this with sarcasm and jokingly :P). All kidding aside though: I think having parents who offer good guidance does make a difference.
Designs targeting DIY are often simplified for easier build and maintenance by the individual.
GUIs don't exist by themselves, but serve a program. Rust may still be the best language for the non-GUI part of the program.

I've once picked ObjC for a whole program based on its native GUI, and spent way too much time chasing bugs caused by its thread-unsafety (Cocoa bindings are a trap in multi-threaded programs).
They can't get packages on time, and destroyed search results, doesn't seem customer centric anymore.

Semantically, a signal is basically just a collection of method pointers + receivers for the same, so one could reasonably expect the same performance as iterating over a bunch of function pointers and calling them in turn. Which shouldn't be 10x slower than calling a single pointer.

(I believe the reason why it doesn't quite work that way in practice is because slot dispatch is ID-based, not pointer-based.)
I strongly disagree with your sentiments above. As a professional, my goal is to do the work to the best of my abilities. That aside, I should note that the work I was referring to wasn’t software development, but other types of technical work where the customer was bleeding, knew they were bleeding, and the bleeding was to a point they knew they needed outside professional help. But they would still cheapen out and do the equivalent of “stick a bandaid on it” rather than have surgery.

> the implementation language for the Xerox UI that was demonstrated to Steve Jobs

Sorry, I have to correct you on that. Or rather, clarify the proper construction of it, which is: narrow.

In https://www.albertcory.io/inventing-the-future, I talk about Smalltalk a lot. It was not used for the Xerox Star, and there was only a limited demo of the UI done in Smalltalk. No one seriously considered building Star on it.

However, you're right in that the PARC demo to Jobs did make heavy use of Smalltalk. That's because the demo was done by PARC and not by the Star developers, and they showed him the ideas that inspired Star, ideas that had existed for years before he came.
I would add CRDTs to your list. They are a tool that, when they're applicable, are almost magical.

Meetings, especially ones I’m barely relevant to but forced to attend, could probably be an effective sleep aid.
Do be aware, though, that this is just a way to make builds fail fast if you have an older compiler. It doesn't put the compiler in a mode that makes it reject features introduced after that version. If projects want to maintain an MSRV policy, they should be using CI to confirm that they keep compatibility. This flag only exists for improved communication to downstreams.
Gnucash would be an good idea if you want to use the double entry system.
I don't mind it when people are very confident or even completely certain of their political beliefs, but they lack credibility to me when they don't have a good understanding of what the other side actually believes or understand their rationale for having certain beliefs.

Personally speaking, I see a lot of criticism of libertarians or conservatives that boils their motivations purely down to hatred or greed or some other Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain level motivation.

You can have a conversation with somebody who is certain of their beliefs but at least tries to understands the other side's motivations.

Browsers don't like their windows too big
I was just testing a responsive layout for a new section of my homepage and I resized window of Edge to be very wide. It caused the window to go completely blank and the beachball went rolling. Resizing it back to be a bit narrower fixed the issue. It seems that the max width that Edge on Mac can take is 8192px. I found that out with the following AppleScript[1]:

tell application "System Events"
set appOfInterest to "Microsoft Edge"
set windowXY to size of the first window of application process appOfInterest
display notification (item 1 of windowXY as text) & " x " & (item 2 of windowXY as text) with title "Frontmost window of " & appOfInterest & ":"
end tell

After that I tried the same with Terminal.app, but this one seems to be able to take just about any size. Then I tried checking the same with Firefox, but Firefox crashed completely and I don't have the patience to restart it repeatedly to find out what the threshold is.

Anyway, funny conclusion is: web browsers have quite narrow acceptable operating conditions for their window sizes, where by "narrow" I mean: it's just a couple seconds of dragging with a mouse, nothing outlandish (although also quite an improbable use-case in the real world).

The bugs in part 1 all around using higher ranked trait bounds. I'd disagree with the characterization that they're "feature requests": five years ago, yes, I would agree, but this entire area of the compiler needs to be bug-free for an upcoming feature (GATs) anyway, and indeed, the issues I found were often fixed by people working on fixing related GAT bugs. Ultimately, my use of higher ranked trait bounds is an attempt to emulate some of what GATs get you in stable Rust, so it's not surprising that the bugs are in the same area of the code.

It exists, not sure about works. I wonder how out of date it is. I haven’t heard of anyone using it in recent times, and I imagine the NDIS version used by the driver is somewhat old. It’s been quite a while since I had the honor of dealing with the wonderful NDIS docs, so I’m not sure how much of issue that would be
