> I personally prefer Cardano, since the software itself has a better foundation, and the fixed supply implies some urgency in adoption.

I really liked Cardano, until I started trying to learn more about it and develop for it.

It's way behind Ethereum in developer experience. The way funds are shuffled around between addresses for a wallet also makes it much harder to reason about (even though in theory the UTXO model is better than account-based for parallel processing of transactions). In actuality, I don't think it's more scalable than Ethereum, and the scaling solutions they're working on (which are years out IMO) are L2s, like with Ethereum.

The tooling is also way behind Ethereum, and running a full wallet is incredibly resource-intensive.

I'm still staking a lot of Cardano, but I think it's unlikely it will overtake Ethereum in value at this point.
This post is weird, not the type to upvote, but even harder to downvote.
It will sit there and some day trend I think, and it will be weird that it does. Let's hope it doesn't trend. I will downvote it. Without influencing the votes or i would get banned for it. At least someone can point out how is it possible for the same lentils to have 30% of protein and also 9% in the same content or I'm not getting it. Maybe some other things aren't quite right although most add up.

People that are calling it a failure because of quality are missing the point.

Facebook makes its money by leaving the feed an unorganized mess of random posts, leaving the user disoriented so that more eyeball time can be harvested for advertisements while the user searches for the content they want (or gets stuck mindlessly scrolling the infinite reel of videos and other content for that dopamine hit).

It's not lost on the army of six figure salaried engineers that a lot could be done easily to make the experience better. But that isn't in the interest of the shareholders. The quality is a feature, not a bug.

What other due process is there, relative to the Authorization for Use of Military Force act of 2001? Congress gave POTUS the power to go after people like al-Awlaki with it. It's been on the books for 20+ years, the Supreme Court has essentially ruled it is a constitutional giving of power by Congress to POTUS e.g. in Hamadi vs Rumsfeld. If the US military could have captured al-Awlaki without incident, then drone striking him would probably not be considered "necessary and appropriate force". But, it wasn't reasonable to capture him, so what alternative is there?
I disagree.

Most startups that YC has funded that became successful (Series B or higher) were written in Python or Ruby. Now you can say that this is a tradeoff for post Series B, and for that I don't know. I've never worked on a massive Python mono-repo for a company that size. But I know what I've done in Python and, yes, it includes performance optimization in Numpy / Scipy / Cython, and other than Ruby, no other language comes close to the developer performance I see with Python and the ecosystem around it.

That said, there is a good and a bad way of writing Python. You absolutely need tests and lots of them since there is no compiler for vanilla Python. Mypy helps a ton too and so do the linters and even Black. Also, get pdb++ and customize it. The tooling helps a lot.

Now I haven't ever written production Rust, but I have for Go and many other languages, and so Rust may be faster, but other than Ruby I haven't seen anything close.
This is particularly true if you're looking at pictures of nebulas. The hydrogen alpha light is in the infrared and for humans is color mapped to red.

Cameras are sold with the capability of capturing the hydrogen alpha light. Like the Nikon 810A which is a Nikon 810 but with the IR filter removed.
I am, yes. I don't think it's the memory because it segfaults immediately, even if I try 64x64... It's very odd, I'm running Ubuntu 22.04, I'm not sure if the CUDA version is somehow wrong.

This is a claim that's often repeated ad nauseum: plastic recycling doesn't work and it's a sham.

There's an element of truth to it: plastics recycling in the USA today is, in aggregate, in a sorry state.

But it's become "common knowledge" that there's no way to make it better. That's not true.

Turn, for example, to British Columbia, which passed an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) law several years ago, which created a system to stabilize the prices of recycled plastics so that recyclers could raise money to build the facilities to process the material.

Now they have the most sophisticated sortation and recycling centers in North America. Laser-based systems identify plastic types and use shots of compressed air to automatically direct plastic onto the proper conveyor.

Each stream is shredded and ground, and then hot washed and dried. Then it's sorted again, this time for color, by computer vision and more compressed air to create streams of clear material and streams of green or other colors.

The result is that 56% of rigid plastic packaging in BC is recycled. That's not perfect, but it's pretty good, and definitely not a "sham".

The problem we have in America is that, broadly, we need public-private partnerships to invest in the sort of equipment that can do this. The technology exists, it works, and it's already being used. Virgin plastic should be taxed and then that tax should subsidize and stabilize the price of recycled material so that private capital can supply the equipment financing. And regional authorities should organize recycling so that enough material can go through one facility to amortize the $30m in equipment over the poundage. (These contracts can be bid at auction to keep them fair.)

In other words, this is not an area where a pure free market works, and it typically requires coordination across regional population centers of 7m+ to get enough poundage through the system.

If we can do what BC did, the rewards are big: plastic is, by far, a lower emitter of GHG than paper-based packaging, does a better job reducing food shrink than any other material, and offers massive weight savings (and GHG savings) versus glass.

Today, of course, it's become much more en vogue to pursue high GHG packaging solutions ("because everyone knows plastic is bad!") rather than build public pressure to adopt the political steps required to implement already proven production technology.

Not linking to the original is rather sad.
I’m slowly getting through all of the Star Trek series right now.

The box sets for TNG, DS9 and Voyager alone are $135 each. I didn’t bother to look to see the cost of the box sets for TOS, ENT, and the movies. Let’s say around $900 in all.

Paramount+ has all of those available for $9.99 a month and I can watch them while I’m traveling on my phone, my iPad, the hotel TV using the Roku stick I bring with me. Yes I know I can set up a Plex server and spend the time to rip all of those DVDs. Been there done that. I had a Mac Mini connected to my TV running Front Row from 2006-2012 and then a Plex server from 2012-2020.

And that doesn’t take into account all of the new series that are only available for streaming - Discovery, Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks.

Ah! So I guess it was just my junior dev mind that couldn't comprehend the nuances and didn't realize I could just use the open-source version rather than downloading binaries.

Thank you for the info, rather curious about trying it out at this point then. I was about to whip out nginx for a server I wanted to setup over the weekend, guess I'll play around with Caddy then!
Ha, it almost seems like you're saying that since the US doesn't keep good track of how many civilians they've murdered with "signature strikes", no one can claim that "lots of innocent people are dying". Even when many reports and groups say that lots of innocent people are dying, including the article you're quoting.

That would by psychotic though, so I'm surely misinterpreting what your actual point is. Care to clarify?

What is a TV channel? Several streamers align their content into different verticals. When I log into Disney+, the first thing I see is a selector for Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic. Are those channels?

What is a "collection" of TV channels? ESPN+ allows me to watch what is currently airing on ESPN, ESPN2, etc. Their content is primarily live rather than on demand, but they only offer a very limited scope of content that all falls under the same category and only originates from the same family of channels. Are they actually cable?

Don't basically all cable companies offer some form of on demand content? Are they all streamers too?

Honestly, I don't care about the answers to these questions. They are rhetorical to show that it is hard to draw nice clean lines around these which is part of my original point that ads isn't what defines cable. Ads come with live content, not with the distribution channel for that content.
I know right! It's much more soothing for me if I have a giant Ideas.md so when someone actually does all of the hard bits (implementation and execution) then I can say "I thought of that", and take comfort in rationalising my lack of discipline and drive to factors outside my control, further re-enforcing my intellect and egos tight binding and creating excuses that had circumstance not looked unfavourably on me, I would also be a billionaire, rather than accept the actual truth of my own inadequacies.

Further to that goal here's my list:

- Flying cars
- Life extension though gene editing
- AGI to do all of our mental work
- Humanoid robots that do all of our physical work
- Teleportation machines for instant travelling between points in space
- Warp engines on starships
- Mind uploading

Now when people come out with these things I can say "I thought of that" like somehow that entitles me (even though these ideas are where everybody else gets to too - i.e. there's no creative originality) - now I dont have to do any work!

My point is the other methods should not be considered acceptable as 2FA because they are phishable. But yes, I'm sure there are competent auditors (as opposed to the ones who are financial auditors from accounting firms and completely out of their depth in matters of security).

The problem is that unless there is a big stick, like a cybersecurity insurance company saying "unless you use U2F keys for 2FA, you are not covered", there is no incentive to change.
The point you should be catching, I believe, is that such things exist in reality independent of their existing in the DSM-5
> the Steamdeck becoming a popular platform for Switch emulation. That's simply not ok. It's wild Valve can get away with this. I would think Nintendo would sue, but its probably fruitless.

What is Valve getting away with / what would Nintendo sue for? Valve is just selling a general-purpose computer that is intended for - and I suspect (but don't have numbers) mostly used for - running games from Steam. That it's a general-purpose computer and thus ends up running some emulators doesn't make it illegal any more than, say, a Macbook, which can run emulators just as well. Valve would have to somehow be going out of their way to intentionally push/support running Switch games on the Steamdeck for Nintendo to have any standing to go after them.

A decent, reliable, eBike will cost around $4000. The cheap ones are very poor value as they are prone to mechanical failure and not very powerful.
An alternative would be to simply sell a car with or without heated seats, at two different prices. This is how it was done. The subscription model gives the customer more flexibility, since if she changes her mind about wanting heated seats halfway through ownership, she can cancel and won't have to pay the full price of the heated seats option. Or vice versa - if she decides she wants heated seats, she can turn them on more easily with a subscription than going somewhere and getting them aftermarket installed.

Is there data on startup lifespan ranked by tech stack? Genuinely been looking for this for awhile now.
Yeah, what anigbrowl said. I mean there surely will be some form of adult industry to have generative models specifically made for (various kinds of) porn, and those companies might spend some resources creating new data to improve their models, but I doubt most current generic porn will be very valuable a few years from now.
Quantum error correction has been experimentally demonstrated for a single logical qubit, e.g. [0][1]. Even though there might be implementations of multiple such qubits, we're still very much in the "Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum" era.

Generally, the number of physical qubits scales linearly with the number of logical qubits.

you probably actually can. On the hobbiest side I swapped out my 2.4ghz control radio w/ 900mhz in about 10 minutes, honestly the hardest part was zip tieing it in place. In most drones the actual radios are discrete components even many of the very tiny 'tiny woop' style drones. Snap the transmitter side into my rc controller's module slot, rebind and I'm back flying.

Now I'm not sure how a switchblade goes together, but I imagine it's even easier a field expedient way to swap frequencies seems pretty useful in a situation where jammers are in play.
You can still fit that information into one byte and convert it at compile time or runtime :)

In a minecraft clone I made, each chunk consists of 16 subchunks so that I only need 12 bits to represent the block position in the shader. Technically, the block position ranges from INT32_MIN -> INT32_MAX, but since each subchunk only consists of 16x16x16 blocks I can get away with storing the position in 12 bits and then passing in the subchunk's world position once as a uniform.
Major contributor to the Docker Python SDK and attempted contributor to a better Docker Go SDK here.

The Go SDK is very low level, and a lot of the high level stuff happens inside the client code in a way that is hard to extract. There was an effort to abstract that in a way that could be reused but it was never prioritized so got stuck on the backburner. I attempted to create a separate SDK that the Docker client didn't build upon, but, if I recall correctly, there wasn't much appetite to do that because then we would have to maintain two codebases and it wouldn't automatically get better when we fixed bugs/improved things in the Docker client.

Here was the prototype: https://github.com/bfirsh/docker-sdk-go

As others say here, Go code does tend to be more verbose, but the Docker Go SDK is very low level and could be higher level. It doesn't have a `Run()` function for example, and there is no technical reason why it couldn't.

How to peacefully grow your service
Given the rise of UFO / UAP sightings I always wondered why there wasn't just an army of cameras pointed at strategic regions around the globe 24/7 (that aren't government owned). A camera like this would be great for catching only what's really interesting.
The main record-scratching surprise moment for me with most of these is the outrageous pricing for what is offered.

Like taking Subaru's subscription for example, for $99/year after the first three years, for a very limited set of features.

Whereas to compare, there are brands that for the same $99/year give you network connectivity with full screen web browsing, access to YouTube and other streaming services in park (including without wifi, using mobile data included in the price), live traffic data, remote start, remote warming/cooling, remote viewing of live dashcam video from every part of the car front/back/side, remote honk, remote light flash, remote unlock/relock, remote window venting/closing, remote seat heater prewarm, map data updates, remote charge monitoring, remote charge stop and start, remote alarm notifications, remote status notifications of pretty much anything, remote viewing of car location, remote viewing of car speed, status, driving direction, temperature… I mean putting all that up against Subaru's offering for the same price, Subaru is just nuts.

I won't mention the competing brand which actually catches flak on the Internet for having subscriptions, because then I'll be accused of being a FaNbOi.
You make it sound unfair, but from the point of view of EDF getting the power you generate in the grid is probably never profitable. If you're in excess it's probable other sources of renewable are peaking simultaneously, but the demand does not change. They have to lower the production of the nuclear plants which is not free. Otherwise there would be a surplus.

And transport fees is actually reasonable, it's a lot more expensive to connect lots of small production sources to the grid than a couple of big ones.

Just asked her (she's been the one buying our collection haha) and sounds like fairly early on she had trouble with many of them and so eventually she just gave up looking. The only example she had off the top of her head was Stranger Things Seasons 3 and 4. A quick search on Amazon seems.. confusing haha.

On the flipside i'd be curious if you have had luck from any sources on buying boxsets for modern streaming shows. Any tips?

edit: She replied with additional items:

> Off the top of my head:

> None of the Marvel shows on Disney+ have physical

> None of the Amazon Prime shows have physical

> None of the AppleTV+ shows have physical

> The first 2 seasons of stranger things do but are out of print. Subsequent seasons and any other show from that time period on are not available.

> Star Trek streaming shows ARE available but insanely expensive (8-10 ep seasons for 50-70)

It depends on what your goal is. If you want to get rich off of VC money, Python and Ruby might be a good fit. If you, on the other hand, want to write good, performant, maintenable and (relatively) bug-free software, then there are better choices.
I just dealt with this problem(how to store periodic events(including birthdays)). It is a surprisingly difficult problem. After reading up on postgres interval types my latest attempt uses them to store events, where a per year event(like a birthday) is stored as "2 months 15 days". it turns out the postgres project has put quite a bit of thought into making interval types work as expected with regards to months, not an easy task when you consider how difficult it is to treat dates mathematically.

The nice part is that now February 29 "just works" the downside is the impedance between how months and days are numbered and a how an offset from the epoch(beginning of the year) is defined. January 3rd(1-3) is stored as "0 months 2 days" as when it hits, 0 months have passed and 2 days have passed.

So the specific case of February 29 hits when 1 month has passed and 28 days have passed. 3 years out of 4 this will be the same as "2 months 0 days"(3-1) but every forth year this will be(2-28). As an aside, and the specific reason I went with interval types, every event past feburary 29 works just fine with or without a leapyear, that is, the extra day in the middle does not mess up the offset to days after it.

Honestly I curse a little as I wish months and days were 0-based. At least clocks get this right, almost, 12 hour clocks are a special breed of stupid. start at 12, then go to 1 and proceed up to 11. 24 hour clocks properly start at 0. The worst part about 12 hour clocks is that it is almost correct, replace the 12 with a 0 and it every thing be the same but now it makes sense from a moduler math point of view.

A special curse is reserved when I think about how there is no year zero.

That's simply the same as the white "Exit" signs in the USA (though in Germany you get advanced warning via calibrated markers in the final km). The actual description of the exit is earlier, when you need to know that your exit is coming up so you can get into the correct lane.
