I understood your original comment, my answer was a bit off topic and sarcastic on purpose.

I clearly have met enough black people who would define themselves by their race and did not take part in any organization that just promote racial adversity.

I have even done a fair share of charity work in Benin in 2019 and so I have seen a fair share of people who clearly did not get any geographical benefit. For some of them, life was hard.

To these days I have yet to meet someone who got anything positive off the anti white rhetoric. It’s like a self help book, it might feel good, but it does not put any food on the table.

And so, since I have the freedom to do, I decide to vote with my feet and avoid any places that promotes this kind of ideologies.

I need calm to be able to think and all of this nonsense is impeding my capacity to think.

Plus, I prefer to pay taxes in a place that does not favor gender or racial quotas.
Can you show me where in the whitepaper it mentions your metrics? I didn't see anything about say, price in there. I did see a lot of mentions about it being cash though (also cheap to use, beat credit cards, no intermediaries, etc). Also SPV wallets (point 8). Nothing about LN.

In any case, BCH simply works 100% of the time, it's instant, extremely reliable and cheap to use, and it's actually being used as cash in the real world (unlike BTC). That's the most important thing in my opinion.
> This feels like a crock statement. A Sr developer who's efficient uses every tool at their disposal to be efficient and productive.

Correct: and in my case, VS Code with my customizations (plugins + configs) is more than equal to the task, it does everything I'd want from a full-blown IDE, and does it in a snap. Being disrupted by your IDE is maddening because it only happens when you're in deep focus.

My IDE journey was similar to yours Eclipse -> Jetbrains, then what started off as a casual affair with VS Code on personal projects ended up being serious indeed.

I felt like it was easier to add features I want to VS Code than to remove/disable fearures from IntelliJ to trim the fat, YMMV. I'm glad to hear IntelliJ s now consistently fast after initialization - when I last used it, the slow downs were unpredictable and lasted minutes, and occasionally required restarting the IDE, but that was a long time ago, back when SSD storage was expensive.

Chuckled here.

Do you realized that normal American people are being outsourced and they don't have much say to determine the process?

Your words read like a slave joking with fellow slaves: one day our master will outsourcing to some other nations.

That's truly sad analogy.
so much politics here. seems like a bunch of issues, including putting lower income people into wealthy neighborhoods, which is an explicit goal of many elected democrats, urban sprawl, which no one seems to worry about these days, housing shortages, which is a big issue. honestly I don't know why people are so focused on marcs opinions, he can afford to lose property value or leave, bit certainly he has every right to fight for his little suburban dream.

I think the bigger issue is that the cities were the future just a few years ago, and now that future isn't as certain.
I use an iPhone, but only because the rest of the family use that environment. I use very few apps, mainly just the camera and the clock.

I can't stand using those tiny screens for visual stuff, so I don't use entertainment apps, or those piddly little banking apps either.

Truth to tell, I'd pretty much get away with using an updated Nokia phone from 20 years ago.

This is correct. But it's a far cry from "nobody really has rewards." Framed a bit differently, our credit card system is a regressive tax on consumption.

yeah, I had an older rpi and I did that for a bit, but I couldn't get scanning work on it well or the way I wanted, plus the older PI was super slow. I'll probably revisit this in the future. However this whole thread had me track down some drivers for the printer and now it works. Seems like what HP now does on their site when you select windows 10 or 11 or even 7, is just say, windows update has the driver, you're good. However, if it's not "officially" approved by MSFT then its not in the windows update as is the case with this printer. So I found some raw bundle of drivers, extracted them and windows was able to manually locate the driver file. I just want HP to host that file so that I know it's trustworthy, and honestly, why shouldn't they host their own driver files?

> Also, modern B2C SaaS is built on credit card subscriptions.

That seems like circular logic. If there were alternatives to credit card and CC companies, SaaS would use that. In fact, in some countries, there are and it does.

> The ability for a merchant to pull payments on a recurring basis from a credit card requires an incredible amount of trust.

Why? If the merchant can't pull this month's payment, then services stop. Perhaps you mean making a large payment in arrears?

A blockchain will allow all these operators to transact safely. It's really just more secure because it's open (otherwise very quickly compromised). And blockchain tech has shown to be reliable when it comes to up-time and security (if you keep it simple).

Python's mission statement has been to be the most ergonomic imperative language. That it doesn't support other styles of programming doesn't seem so bad to me, languages do not need to be multi-paradigm.

Where does the frustration come from with Python being more popular than Ruby, is it that some libraries can only be found in Python?
I don't think this is true.

Why should transaction "cost" anything? It is just running arithmetic instruction on a number in a computer. I would argue batch processing makes no sense. If you send me me $10 and I send you $5 and bank wait for a month to run that batch, you might have already been bankrupt and have nothing to send so somehow you sent me money, I never received it and now everything is in big limbo. Transactions should be instant.
Since this is China, a better mental model is probably more along the lines of a utility company that is technically private, but in practice under such government oversight that it is quasi-governmental. Any sufficiently large company in China is better thought of as a quasi-governmental entity.
The EU also has charge backs as well. I would have assumed all credit cards would have this as a feature.
Love this! I think it's time for the database to move closer to the browser.

We spend some time getting the node-postgres library working with websockets so we could go browser->websockify->postgres: https://github.com/bitdotioinc/node-postgres - this lets us use a full-featured postgres client (with, eg, cursor support) in the browser.
If they filter transactions, ETH will become worthless, causing the relevant stakers to lose all their money since by definition they are the ones with the most money.

> Each year you can offset your rental income against [...] property taxes

The ridiculous thing is that, since the SALT deduction cap went into effect (and so narrowly avoided the axe this past week, ugh), people who live in states with high property taxes end up being able to deduct only a small amount of their property taxes on their primary home, but if they own investment property, they can typically still deduct all of it -- and I believe they can deduct on their state taxes as well, whereas the SALT deduction is only available at the federal level.

Mazda makes cars that are aimed at maximizing performance/comfort/usability/etc for the driver and nobody else in the car.

With this in mind it makes sense to not have a touch screen, but what happens when the front seat passenger is controlling the music? It's not a great setup if you tend to have multiple people in your car often.

If most of the time you're a solo driver (perhaps like Uber?) then Mazda's focus on building everything with driver in mind makes sense.
You reload until you get one that looks cool, then you screen grab it, and hook up with some friends and your favorite RPG system rules. D&D, Hackmaster, GURPS, Thirsty Sword Lesbians, Pathfinder, Encounter Critical, whatever.

Great experience with it. The examples in the repo, the issues and discussions sections, and the documentations are all very helpful. Alex and the other users are also quite hands-on in replying on each and every issue and discussion there.

- parse request multipart data

- serve response json

- serve response buffers

- serve response streams

- serve response static files

- support async handler

- support multiple async handlers (middlewares)

1. Free one month loans

2. The law requires banks to pay for any fraud
My joke was more pointing at the defi tools built on top of the blockchain rather than ethereum itself. Those broke.
1. Extra hassle of interaction with a second company other than your bank, extra credentials, tracking balances, etc. etc. When I was living in the Netherlands I had my bank-account-attached Maestro card (or sometimes cash) and that was that. Except when foreign companies needed a credit card.

2. Fees. The whole point of credit cards - for the CC companies of course - is fees.
There seems to be confusion as to whether the car was autonomous or not. The URL that is affixed to the car says "autonomous", but it redirects to one that says "data processing automated". Those two apparently English phrases mean different things.
One major problem is Emacs's poor performance when lines get really long (e.g. 1 MB). That's rarely a problem when using Emacs as a text editor, but it can happen quite a lot when running shells.

I've managed to avoid this by setting my shell to a script which pipes bash through GNU fold, so long lines are broken up before Emacs ever sees them (around 1000 characters; slightly earlier if there's whitespace). Rather extreme, but I really like shell-mode (not really a fan of eshell)
> Predictions of the actual future are hard, but predictions of the future we will encounter if we stay on the path we're on can be very straightforward and reliable

This is completely false. We are not interpolating with climate science, we are extrapolating. That is why the variance in the models is so wide (and expands rapidly). That variance, also, only applies to the known mechanisms: when a new important factor shows up, that can cause the predictions to be very wrong. This happened with ocean acidification in the early 2010's - the climate models had predicted increasing temperature, but it didn't materialize because the oceans were absorbing a lot more CO2 than we thought.

In your example, an earthquake, a tornado, a flood, a strong storm, another person stealing your dirt, or even a heavy wind can make your projection false. You can keep doing the same thing, but you will have no idea how big that dirt pile will be 20 years from now.

>If you're a sockpuppet then nobody is buying it sorry, your coin is dead.

If you are concerned about sock-puppet shills, don't be: I have never owned BCH, BTC or any other bitcoin variant and I will attest to the parent comment's arguments. As a bitcoin outsider, it's pretty clear to me that the path BTC took has irreversibly doomed cryptocurrency. If you are a bitcoiner, your coin is dead also.

Bitcoin is the bigger scam. The problem with bitcoiners not taking the BCH/XT fork isn't that the block sizes aren't large enough. It's that the remaining bitcoin community is dedicated to never make a hard fork again. This is not sustainable in the long-run.

Good cryptocurrencies (like cryptonote, zerocoin, etc.) regularly agree on reasonable compromises to improve the security and efficiency of the network (including changes in block size, etc.). With BTC, reasonable discussion has gone out of the window. It completely defies satoshi's original intention. Your community is no longer a good steward of the network. You are just bagholders trying to protect your investements.
They will be the majority though, enough to choose the history of the ledger, it's more that they won't allow other validators to join the network, who could invalidate their choices. Thus, the penalties will not be applied.

How does ETH do to stop miners from rejecting or preferring transactions for blocks today? Pretty sure there have been some interesting stories about transaction front running and other tactics to abuse the system for personal gain (which is a fundamental issue in the unregulated blockchain ecosystem)
I couldn’t disagree more. The fact that the internet enables certain illicit decentralized activities doesn’t mean that it’s not a net tool towards the benefit / potential benefit of a centralized authority.

I was recently confused when a friend asked me how my vacation was, which was last minute and completely absent from my social media. I told nobody and shared nothing about this trip. Yet the friend I was vacationing with had posted a Story of us out on Snap/Insta, which I didn’t see, thus hundreds of people knew about my vacation with my friend. The internet centralized information through many channels, not only state authority but also cultural patterns and habits that become the new norm.

Well, setups using forced commands are relatively common with SSH (case in point: probably any Git server you've ever accessed over SSH); if one of those setups also allowed their user to specify ssh_config rules without realizing that Match can exec things there'd be a problem.

Seaweedfs has problems with large "pools" it's based on an old facebook paper (haystack) and supposed for block storage to distribute large image caches. I found it mediocre at best as it's documentation was lacking, performance was lacking (in my tests) and the multitude of components were hard to get working.
The idea behind it is that every daemon uses one large file as data store to skip slow metadata access. There are different ways to access the storage over gateways.

MinIO is changing so much in the last years thatI can't give a competent answer but compared to seaweedfs it uses many small local databases. Right now it's deprecating many features like the gateway and it is split into 2 main components (cli and server) compared the seaweedfs deployment is dead simple, but I don't know which direction the project is going. Went from a normal open source project to a more business like deal (in what I saw) like I said I didn't quite follow the process.

Ceph is based on blocmlk storage. Offers an object gateway (s3/swift), fs (cephfs) and block storage (rbd). You can access everything through librados directly as well. For a minimal setup you need a "larger" vluster but it is the most flexible solution (imho). Uses the most resources as well, but you can do nearly everything you want without limit with it.
Much as we denigrate COBOL, that is still its greatest advantage. Yes, it's wordy, yes it's old. Yes, it needs to be really updated. But it's still easier for a new hire to understand the COBOL old code than any other old code.

> "There needs to be better separation of business logic from models so that programmers don't need to 'dig' into business processes and exceptions, and workers don't need to deal with part of their responsibility being shoved into a black box that they're not sure they totally trust or can adapt easily should a need arise."

I agree that this is unsatisfying, but I don't see programming tools fixing this, and especially not "separation"; however, I don't know what you mean by separation. I think UX* is the way to approach this, so that developers account for the actual data and decisions in a workflow. I think you convince the business with better observability.

There's a deeper issue. All language (and code and other things in the GPT/etc corpora) seem to have something in common - hierarchical, short- and long-range structure.

In contrast, there is nothing that all time series have in common. There's no way to learn generic time series knowledge that will reliably generalise to new unseen time series.
