> The office was a powerful tool to keep people in line - you were extremely visible at all times, middle managers kept track of everybody, and you were seen as a “hard worker” based on many conditions that didn’t relate to work at all.

> “Hard workers” were those that got in early and left late, who play-acted how stressed they were, and seemed the most enthusiastic or “engaged” during meetings. Workers were incentivized to resemble a certain aesthetic the boss craved of a “good worker” that regularly did not connect to actual outputs

In the same way that the author accuses others of having weak defenses of office culture, the author has really weak parody arguments of office culture itself.

Somehow when we are in an office, we are simultaneously monitoring by the omnipresent malevolent panopticon, but also managers are so inept and disconnected they can't even evaluate those workers correctly and deduce all the fake work they are performing. But remotely all work is getting done, no deadlines are slipping, communication is smooth, but managers simply fret about missing social control over "people of color and women".

We are witnessing the incoherent attack on the value of locality wrt to collaboration? And the entire argument is, "my boss is a controlling racist"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_stake

Start here.

“The threat of a 51% attack still exists on proof-of-stake as it does on proof-of-work, but it's even riskier for the attackers. A attacker would need 51% of the staked ETH (about $15,000,000,000 USD).”
Or, dual license with a negotiated commercial license, and a "business unfriendly" license like GPL. I've worked at a company that uses a library* that is licensed this way, and they went with the commercial license so they didn't have to conform to the rules of the GPL.

Thanks, I did find a few goals that resonated with me.
I can get started with those.
If it is about threats, then you should try to make the cyclists and pedestrians more threatening. Make yourself bigger, travel in large packs, bear your teeth, etc.

That or just have completely separated pathways for motorized vehicles and cyclists and pedestrians.
What you are referring to is an old problem (arguably now solved) called “nothing at stake.” Short, bastardized answer is that something built into the consensus code called “slashing” keeps the validators/shakers from trying to stake two versions of a block.
No, this is not the definition of open source. Open Source was coined by OSI as an alternative (less political) than Free Software.
Just a reminder there is only one way you will ever own what you purchase, and it involves Jolly Roger and a bottle of rum.

Meetings are bad, all should just admit that. They are the lamest things that tries to substitute all formal/non-formal on-site meetings (please read it coffee/tea/snacks breaks).

Online meetings just sucks.

Why?

They waste time. If they happen in the first part of the day, they just dry-out those before-1pm-doers (I include myself here). If they happen in the 2nd part of the day, half will be just tired or waiting for it to be finished.

Countless times no solutions are made during a single meeting, you require 2-3-4 meetings, it can be a full week before something is nailed.

Now, I might be a bit too old but for many-many-many years before "zoom is the new king" thingies, most of us managed to do amazing thing by simply using async comms (emails, docs, chats).

I wish we can turn back to those days simply because it worked well, the additional stress/pressure current meetings are throwing to many of us will result in higher burn-outs rates.
Everyone is a cyclist and therefore drivers are very empathetic towards cyclists: a couple hours later or earlier they were the cyclist, and the cyclist was the driver.
The bundling and unbundling cycle continues.
Yeah, things should get interesting when the first model makes use of Rings of Power or House of the Dragon footage or whatever the latest superhero movie is.

I wonder if we'll see a "Hollywood vs Silicon Valley" lobbying battle. Or possibly "Amazon media division vs Amazon AI division"...

>>How in the world could a railgun compete with chemical explosives?

It can selectively kill in a crowd. And no recoil, better accuracy during rapid fire.

Compressed air requires a canister of fluid that requires weight. With a rail gun, much of the weight is in the needles, which could be very thin indeed. When it's out of ammunition, it can do the suicide run perhaps. But the key is the unit doesn't need to carry all the energy required to dispense the projectiles on launch. Can feed off solar or power lines half way through its lot and therefore extend range or needle load.

In fact if you had a rechargeable system the drone could conceivably, albeit slowly, travel halfway around the globe, assuming it can extend its solar panels and float on the ocean.

I also expect they'll be totally silent and made of transparent material.
"Open source doesn't just mean access to the source code. The distribution terms of open-source software must comply with the following criteria:" (omitted here) [0]

Crucially, one cannot make their code "for non-commerical use only" and have it still be open source. It must be available for any entity to do with it what they wish. One can of course restrict that, but it would no longer be open source. Source available, perhaps, but not open source.

Therefore, ironically, it is you who should not mangle language, not me.

> Bike theft is a very harmful crime.

Yes it is, but I disagree that turning bike theft into a 20-year sentence is going to help.

> Idk, it seems theft is low in countries where they cut hands for it.

Russia has 99% conviction rate, long sentences and torture in prisons, yet crime rate is sky high. US has more prisoner and tougher sentenses than UK, but UK has less crime

Half the people here are engineers, think like one, about systemic solutions and not revenge. Crime is a business, it only happens because its profitable.

You could setup a city-wide LoRaWAN bike tracking network for $100,000, you could hand out $20 trackers to every cyclist and weld them to the frame, from the inside if you have to. You could produce airtags-compatiable trackers, register every bike and check them periodically, etc.

You could install safe cycle storage throughout the city, that is alarmed and has cameras and calls the police when it detects sound of angle grinder.

Thousands of different solutions are possible.
Firmware blob free?
yup--the weekend my internet went out was a real eye-opener and a number of things in my house got the axe including plex. i use kodi now and while its UX is nowhere near as good as plex, at least it works with a LAN-only connection
And yet when you look at statistics it's almost solely drivers killing pedestrians even though the car infrastructure is 100x better and cars aren't forced to go on sidewalks.

No one likes cycling on a sidewalk. People do it because either a bike path ended in a random place and they ended up on a sidewalk or they feel it's very dangerous to be on the road.
you don't need mining equipment to validate transactions on bitcoin, nor do you need to own it. With ETH, you need to own 32 ETH, obviously.
My parents used to pay $110~ a month for a cable package, decent number of channels, and HBO back in the late 90s. This is significantly more expensive than it is today.
You were talking about cloud, now you are talking about bare metal?

Of course you have to route traffic to your cluster, but you are implying some cloud based load balancer lockin which just isn't true
Hey Sorry to follow you!! I am deeply curious on your knowledge.
It should however be noted that Ethereum had a ICO [1] on launch, where you could buy ethereum for a particular price.

9.9% percentage of that also was set aside for "founders". (it could however be more [2])

Today it accounts for something like 59% (72m) of total supply (~120m). Make what you will of that.

There are a distressing amount of people on this website who believe all three of those things.
I don't understand this comment: "but staking 1eth is always staking 1eth".

If I have 100 GPUs and I buy one more can't I turn around and say "But buying one more GPU is just buying one more GPU"? Even if your point is that electricity bills are lower per additional GPU, surely humans discount the value of incremental money after some point so for those with lots of eth incremental eth isn't worth as much?
IIUC, the performance of PyPy is still quite far behind normal compiled languages, due to limitations inherent in Python. And then it has limitations in its interop with Numpy and C libraries, at least last I checked.

That's the general picture when trying to overcome Python's performance wall: Sometimes you can use Cython, or Numba, or PyPy or Numpy vectorization, or call into C. But only sometimes, and they each come with their own set of awful restrictions and caveats.

It's such a breath of fresh air to switch to a fast language and just forget all those hacks and workarounds. I get why people just migrate to static languages

Which is exactly why I say that you can uae your friend's account if they visit you and you agree on watching something you do not currently have access to.
Sure, but the Python community itself promoted the idea that Python was suitable for general application development and so on. And it probably was a really good option back in the day when people were using C, C++, Perl, and PHPv4. And I'm sure there are still some areas where it's a fine option (maybe heavy data science stuff?). But I would only use it as an absolutely final resort.
What was there before Arpanet/Internet? THE SAGE SYSTEM
This is an exceedingly silly conclusion. "Similar pieces of software" are coded in C++ and shipped every single day, without anyone saying "and we managed to do it in C++, too!" The emphasis should be on what the software does well, and how, not on what hoops the developers were jumped through on the way.
And presumably you can walk with your bike.
> The more this happens the more people will just stay and work in other countries because US and Europe don't have anything to offer.

The point here is that the US is missing on talent, not that other countries would benefit from it. It's a failure of the US immigration policy to the economy.
You can't stake 1 eth yourself. You need to at least 32 eth.
Plus you need to make an investment to run your own a validator.
The code - not the people. Trust but verify - just like all other FOSS.
Yep, game development doesn't have a good reputation.

I eventually did a Master's degree in infosec. Spent a while developing security products, then moved over fully into security architecture. That's been ten years now and I'm getting itchy feet again!

But don't beat yourself up over playing games, if that's what you do to relax. You can't be on all the time. I go though phases of just going my job, then I get enthused by something. I'd honestly just find another job in the short term that gives you the opportunity to grow in some way.

"Constraints as power" describes the proposition of all statically typed languages. But the compilers of popular languages weren't smart enough to cover many common scenarios, forcing language designers to offer many unsafe escape hatches.
I'm saying that GNU runs on nearly all unix-likes - for ages, the first thing many admins would do after installing HPUX or Solaris was to immediately install GNU's tools because they're so much better than the ones built into the OS. In that case, GNU tools are installed, but they are not "a constituent part of the operating system" because they are running on top of the OS. Linux distros are unusual in that Linux is just a kernel, so GNU tools were frequently promoted to become part of the core OS there, but out of all the platforms that GNU supports that's almost the only one where they're part of the OS proper. Android then represents a kind of funny regression because Android ships without GNU tooling (instead relying on toybox for coreutils and bionic for libc), but you can once again add GNU tools on top of the OS in the form of Termux, which carries on the long tradition of being far more usable than the OS vendor default tools.

EDIT: Changed "the only one" to "almost the only one" because I remembered that HURD exists and probably also uses GNU tools as part of the OS.
The most valuable thing online in the next few decades will be authenticity. Authenticity is really the new luxury. The beauty of the early internet was its pure, passion driven authenticity. Websites sprouting up for every interest, built only because someone was driven to share their thoughts on a given subject. Forums, filled with techies chatting about their interests. Video games exploring interactive media and forming a new art. The rise of memes from places like 4chan, that have come to dominate digital expression.

All of these beautiful things have been degraded by the inauthentic, focus-group, advertising data harvesting machines of mega-corporate greed. Unique websites and blogs are drowned out into oblivion, unprofitable and hidden by the SEO Gods of Google, funneling you into their own products and advertising pathways. Forums bled out into Reddit, which is now an astroturfed corporate dream world where advertisers can masquerade as real users and corporate appointed moderators funnel all conversation into the optimum advertising framework--deleting anything that could harm reddit's shareholder pool of giant corporations and governments. Video games went from novel, artistic experiments, to hyper-optimized addiction machines built to drain the time, money, and drive from their young audience. Even memes, with all their raw vulgarity and juvenile silliness, have been coopted by corporations trying to bend this new form of expression to their advertising goals.

First, content online was authentic and human. Then, big tech started trimming and censoring and funneling and optimizing it into something less real... less human, but far more ripe for advertising revenue and data collection. Now, we are entering the stage of AI-generated content. Articles written by algorithm, art created by machine, bots filling up the whole internet with noise. The level of distrust, paranoia and questioning of reality that users will experience online in the coming years will be unparalleled. Is this image real? Is this person I'm talking to a bot? Is this artwork human made?

Which brings me back to my main point. Authenticity will be the new luxury. And the builders of tomorrow who figure out how to curate authentic online communities and experiences will be the winners in this content war.
As with other Apple products (hi AirPods Max) Lightning works fine and well until you take it anywhere the humidity is above 80% for extended periods of time.

I have more Lightning cables with pin 5 (Vcc) charred than I'd like to admit. At one point in my life it took about 2 weeks per side of the connector until they became unusable.

Again, TS does not forbid you from having examples. Your docstrings don't replace Typescript, and Typescript doesn't replace good docstrings. But your docstrings are very unclear on which types you can mix together, and that has to be inferred. And if a user passes in something else by accident, it will fail at runtime rather than warning them the moment they write it.
Building windows in both Transport Fever 2 and Derail Valley show the same cityscape in their reflection if I'm not mistaken. Also if the building is in front of a tree or middle of nowhere. Kinda cheap imo, but apparently few enough people notice that they don't care to make it better, so I also feel a little special.
That's roughly how many people get in my team. The base is 4, then we have 10 emergency days that people take at their discretion (either when sick or when they need a break) (or when they don't have any more vacation)
It’s basically the minimum amount of ETH needed to ensure there are a lot of validators all in sync. If it was less than 32 ETH, there would be way more validators and it would be very difficult for them to all sync to the correct block every 12 seconds.
According to one of the photographers[0], yes.

> The color in this image is real, but presented with increased saturation so it is easily visible to our eyes. The reddish tones demonstrate areas rich in iron and feldspar, while the bluish areas are spots where the regolith is rich in titanium. Oxidization from influence from Earth's atmosphere makes the colors appear like they do.

Yeah, it's a tricky tradeoff - glass may be cheaper/easier to replace than a torn out lock or broken frame.

I guess if you worry about it you could always install the fireman's key box you see on commercial buildings.
"unlovable"? Hardly, he's high on my list of poets I adore.

I love the absolute cheek and breadth of scope of a poet that can give us the somber meditation "No man is an Island"/"for whom the bell tolls", the defiance of "death be not proud", the passionate longing of "batter my heart" (perhaps the most dangerous prayer i know), and also the charming, leering, nod-and-a-wink of "mark but this flea...", which is a very impish seduction poem indeed. In the persistence of his turns of phrase in our daily vernacular, he's up there with Cranmer or Shakespeare.

In his range, he reminds me of Catullus, who gives us both "hail brother and farewell" and "i will skullfuck you and sodomize you".

In his life, a man who by all accounts went from rake to devoted husband more or less on sight, among much else indeed.

> I have stopped learning new things, and working on personal projects because of Dota2.

Might be worth looking at. In my own life, I have had severe issues with video games, in the past. I use a Mac, though (the worst video game platform on Earth), so that limits my ability to get too compulsive.

It can get bad, for me, but I know that I'm a bit of an outlier.

When I stopped compulsing on video games, my "nights and weekends" projects took off, in a big way.

The rest is history.

Good luck.
Off-topic but have you got any recommendations on stuff to read to set up a GPU at home to run stable diffusion?
yeh I get thats what they were going for, I just thought it looked nice as an unlikely potential new logo
Software that is free for “non-commercial” use doesn’t really get anywhere. It’s a naive proposition. It is not simple drawing the line between non-commercial and commercial activities. Things that are non-commercial can easily slip into commercial by some definition, and then you’d suddenly be in breach of contract, no one wants to take that risk. This is why people use permissive licences if they want their OSS to be used.
Hey... I have an address in that block... >:[
I recently spoke with the tech lead of a team that is all in on .NET for web development, as well as using Xamarin.Forms to develop cross-platform mobile apps. While this achieved their goals, the lead felt that the complexity of dealing with platform-specific edge cases slowed them down enough that developing using native tooling would have taken the same amount of time. He would not choose Xamarin again if faced with the same choice.
My smartphone has a camera on its back. It is probably not convenient, but can it be used to detect motion so that my phone could be used as a mouse?
Not exactly. The main reason they reduced it to 32 ETH was because of BLS signatures, so a lot more validators could be in sync with each other

But yeah, 32 ETH at the time of the Beacon chain starting was only a few thousand dollars
The scary thing about your knowledge, is that you don't know what you don't know.

Why can't the answer be that the hardware is so fast on both platforms that for day-to-day tasks there's no perceptible difference?
Seems like it but the Steam Deck touch screen is horrendously bad though, so that wouldn't be very useful.

I need to prepare to ace interviews for better companies.
The problem is not the same. In proof of work, it just breaks and you can double spend. In this proof of stake setup, you can double spend, but then the ethereum foundation can punish you with its slashers.
