I kind of agree that Treasury should not have exactly this power to ban Tornado protocol. However, I believe Treasury certainly has the power to ban all transactions with networks hosting money laundering protocols.

It would certainly be worse for crypto if it were illegal to buy sell ETH and friends because their networks host Tornado protocol. I see this attempt to moderate the network itself as “going easy” on crypto investors.

The crux of the issue comes down to moderation. In a sufficiently large and complex network, moderation becomes a necessity not an option. This won’t be the last case.

Regulators generally strike when sufficiently popular technology makes it sufficiently easy to perform sufficiently damaging illegal activity.
Logs come in two forms: structured and unstructured. Throw your unstructured logs in the garbage bin if you can - they do very little to help systematically analyze systems.

Structured logs are logs that adhere to a schema and let you attach key:value pairs of additional metadata, so you can add context from your app to those logs. They're extremely helpful for systematically debugging systems, but they're not correlated with anything. With only logs, you need to divine what led to such a log yourself, or manually re-create tracing within your logging system.

Traces are basically structured logs but have correlation IDs that let a backend stitch them together. Tracing libraries also offer a lot more than just this, but it's the core of tracing. I like to think that tracing is just an objectively better form of structured logging.
> if I understand the whole comment right, a curved universe is guaranteed to have an edge, but with a non-curved one it's a toss-up because no one knows what it would look like.

A curved universe doesn't "have an edge," I'm referring to Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry [1]. As in, if the curvature is truly and perfectly zero, then the space-time we live in goes on forever. If it has even the tiniest curvature, then it curves back onto itself and is non-Euclidean.

If it is truly and perfectly zero, then all I'm trying to say is that it goes on forever like an "ideal" 2D plane or 3D space.

> Normally, there'd be an aspect of plausible deniability

If it was publicly known that you had exactly 1 ton of legally acquired gold in your house, would you feel perfectly safe sleeping at night? Is there not 1 sicko out there that would be willing to torture your family to find the combination to your vault?

Plausible deniability exists here. It's called wanting privacy, and there's perfectly valid and non-criminal reasons to want privacy, despite repeated false claims.

Here is the problem. Many cryptos are not actually anonymous. If somebody has somebody's wallet address, they can look into tracing information about them like their net worth and their purchasing history. Even if you were smart enough to use a different wallet address for each transaction, you inevitably have to spend money to live or send money to others and then you can be traced. As tools grow more sophisticated and more data about wallet address ownership gets out there, the more at risk people will be. And once your identity gets out there, there's no shaking the ability to track it short of some form of mixing or obfuscation. In an of itself, mixing or trading to obfuscate your identity shouldn't be considered a crime or unreasonable in the slightest.
Just so you know, a non-zero portion of F500 doesn't really believe in or have a "Team Lead" role. Its Managers and Individual Contributors, no overlap. I would argue that (in general) a first line manager should be a Team Lead. Otherwise you now have 2 managers (a work product manager and a HR / performance manager).

My (F500 size, but private, Fintech / banking / insurance company) company has 2 "tracks". Individual Contributor (labeled P1-5) and Manager (labeled M1-5). HR does not have any room or space for a "Senior Engineer who is also a Manager." I am currently a P5, If I wanted to move over to management, I would have to take a large pay cut (down to a M2, maybe M3). To keep an equivalent pay and move into a M4 role, I would have to be a manager of managers (aka director or 2nd VP I suppose).

This company desperately needs a Tech Lead type role, but there is no space within their HR playbook.

I suspect at a lot of older companies (outside of FAANG), you will find a similar breakdown or "wall" between ICs and Managers.
I like the Japanese school-lunch system. Kids develop a familiarity with real food, which stays with them into adulthood (and reduces the likelihood of obesity ever occurring), and parents don't have to worry about it.
Italics have been part of literature for hundreds of years, pretty sure you can manage to read an email or two with italics in them.
Poorly. It's updated, but looking at 3k issues and just 30 PRs requests paints a dark picture.

Servo had trouble getting 10k per year funding for just basic CI expenses.
> If Linux could, I don't see why a new browser can't.

The comparison doesn't make sense.

Linux was not released in 2022, competing against 2022's Windows, it was released in 1991, competing with the technology at the time, and has since evolved and grew progressively, as the competition evolved and grew.

Releasing a new browser in 2022, competing against 2022's Chrome and Firefox, is a way bigger task (not that it's their goal).
-- if I move $10k - my institution automatically tells the government I moved $10k - if in the US - the receiving institution also tells the government - I don't have an expectation of privacy - is this also true with Tornado Cash? --
In the life without crypto. The only way to achieve this is like movies in the 80s, you hand over a suitcase of cash and get whatever you need.

With the invention of paperless transaction, Government steps in and ensure every transaction record is there to show the party of the transaction. This happened, before the invention of the internet.

If you wanna fight, then you will have to undo all the legal changes.

Compare of the little loss of the privacy, and the possibility of funding the evil state like North Korea and its infamous neighbour. I would choose get rid of the evil country.

Assuming by "the most successful set of design decisions about document management in the history of documents or management" you meant Git, I see what Fossil does as an iteration no those ideas, not so much telling them to "get fucked." Recognizing that things like issue queues are commonly used together with version control repos and then integrating the latter more tightly to the former is a step forward rather than a complete refutation.
This is the way. When I got an newsletter email, I quick scan for its blog link immediately and go to read it on website.
Thanks for sharing. Really interesting that you've focused on dividend scheduling which is something I haven't quite seen anywhere else. The app also mentions stock prediction using AI - do you have more details about it?
More likely theyd just have canceled it. The price they paid for 1.6GW was already very high without accounting for the French military's €5 bn gift and construction delays.

> I'm pretty sure the majority of knifes used for criminal activities are rather kitchen knifes.

Regardless of whether this is true (which it probably isn't, at least in the US), it doesn't change the intent. We regulate different things differently based on their intended use.

This should cover your second question as well. Intent is what the government cares about in this instance. And yes, it is indeed illegal to conceal your transactions from the government, at least insofar as they concern money that the government is entitled to tax or review.
I've been fascinated by constraints ever since I did some work on iOS, using UIKit. The layout constraint mechanism was super cool.

I've been trying to build a programming language for UI designers, and one of the goals is to let designers describe layouts using constraint-based code that reads as close to natural language as possible.

Something like:

// "the blue box is directly beneath the red box"
BlueBox {
top: @RedBox.bottom
}

// "the red box is 10 pixels to the right of the blue box
RedBox {
left: @BlueBox.right + 10
}
I don't think AI generated art is even a threat to stock photography, but rather clip art... which isn't too disruptive in my view.

I can immediately recognize (as I did for this post) when art is AI generated right now. I've spent a lot of time playing with SD and while it's been a blast as a toy, the vast majority of the outputs are 'meh' and even the best still have those weird artifacts that stick out like a sore thumb.

Just like the clip art ascetic quickly becomes recognizable and somewhat nauseating, so too is AI generated art already starting to feel that way.

As far as aiding experts I don't imagine synthetic art will be nearly as game changing as the Adobe suite. I do a fair bit of writing and find GPT-3 to be completely unnecessary for "quickly generating a bunch of concepts". I assume that visual arts, like writers, already have a bunch of ideas in their head for what to do. That's never the bottle neck. Writers block happens but it's not because you can't think of a general concept, it's because implementing that specific concept into text is what's hard.

> And probably take out "hi-beams" altogether.

This is _complete_ nonsense. I'm going to guess that you are an American living somewhere with probably quite wide and straight roads.

Here in the UK, high beam headlights are largely essential on a lot of dark rural/country roads for a number of reasons — uneven road surfaces, soft verges, roaming animals and pedestrians in unlit areas, sudden turns or changes of camber. When used properly, they are an important safety device and they absolutely have a place on a vehicle.
That is the point of your parent comment: defeating their argument by their logic. To be logically consistent, the US should either ban both Tornado Cash and Tor or allow both.
OP was clearly talking about team size and change velocity, not code size.

5 contributors, with over 70% from a single person is indeed small.
I had to look that up as I couldn't believe they don't have that feature... especially since Import[] supports .MPS. I know they have plugin support for solvers like Mosek and I think GUROBI which I assume creates a .MPS and sends to the solver. Maybe it just does it all in memory. They really need to add that lol.

Hi, author of MVP.css here.

For those interested in the discussions around this, please refer to:

https://github.com/andybrewer/mvp/issues/26

https://github.com/andybrewer/mvp/issues/2

I would concede that the use of ‘a strong’, ‘section aside’, etc. does require some learning and the styling is perhaps unique, but I don’t think it’s invalid in any way.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/st...

> The <strong> HTML element indicates that its contents have strong importance, seriousness, or urgency.

In MVP.css links are already in bold by default, so ‘strong’ text inside a link requires more “urgency” than bold text, which is styled as a button.

Sure, I’ll grant that it’s atypical, but I don’t think it’s obviously wrong in some way.

Same with ‘aside’:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/as...

> The <aside> HTML element represents a portion of a document whose content is only indirectly related to the document's main content. Asides are frequently presented as sidebars or call-out boxes.

I think cards are basically “call-out boxes”.

But at the end of the day, this style sheet doesn’t have to be for everyone and it’s really designed for someone who’s rapid prototyping.

That said, I do think buttons and cards are important to most web page layouts so if there’s a better semantic way to codify those, I’m open to pull requests.
Databases are useful. Look at Datalog and SQL and you're looking at a language that does very useful stuff without user-defined types, higher-order functions, recursion, etc.
Most ledgers are not public, or based on any methodology requiring public view, because the only way to both transact, keeping intact a tightly coherent paper trail as required by law is, and ensure privacy is to not make the ledger available in all it's glory to everyone.

Doing what Tornado.cash does, is by definition, laundering, and if you didn't want your financial matters known to the world, mayhaps you should not have used a technology based on public ledger?
I think this will be many things.

A force multiplier, allowing existing professionals to generate more art.

The creation of a new profession. Digital artists are already doing a very different job with very different tools. These tools will be another step and there will be demand for human and generated art in different applications.

The empowerment of non artists. Same as how digital art democratized art. This will let people without hours of skill generate images of their liking with relatively minimal effort. Anyone can generate scenarios or images, even if they aren't perfect.

These aren't exclusive and will probably all happen at the same time. It will also 100 percent devalue artists work since it's now easier to meet people's needs. This won't make them obsolete, but it'll reduce demand and put people out of business.
I totally understand your point. Have you ever worked a bad job? And relied on it for yourself or even your entire household? Quitting a job when you can click on one of multiple recruiter emails and start next week, or because it's a casual job you picked up for spending money is entirely different from being one paycheck away from being late on rent.

One of these is not like the others. Pharmacists did the majority of COVID-19 shots.

Your comment completely ignores the content of the article you are commenting upon.

You concentrate on the "normal" nutrition stuff like fat, fiber and carbohydrates, without even asking why do people eat more than 100 years ago.

The article talks about the fact that food now contains a lot of totally unnatural chemical substances that our ancestors never encountered and that such substances may throw off our sense of satiety and disrupt other mechanisms directly related to obesity.

That is a serious problem. An apple or a piece of meat laced with various chemicals isn't the same as 100 years ago. It seems you choose to ignore this difference.
> Sure, "bog standard" bread could have less sugar, but some sugar is essential for this style of bread.

I fully agree. As a German I do want to point out that American style sandwich bread is a very specific style. Sugar goes into it much as it does into challah dough or brioche - but all these stradle the cake-bread boundary for me.

If you want sugar in your bread, you gotta suffer through the process of making pumpernickel like everyone else, gosh darn it! /j
The best managers I've had in my near twenty years of software development have been so-so developers but amazing at keeping other people off our backs, saying no, and limiting scope.
I find that many managers follow the school of thought as "Being abusive gets people to work because they inherently do not want to work".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kczJJXk-dw

The above YT video is about the Checkers/Rally's CEO masquerading as a worker and being yelled at and watching abuse by a shift supervisor to workers. The Shift supervisor then makes the above justification, that workers wouldn't do anything if they weren't abused.

Naturally, this video has instant karma happen. But in the real world, you put up with it, you get fired, or you leave. The saying "Go to work because you believe in the company, but leave because of the manager." is precisely because of this abusive school of thought.

And this applies in tech as much as it doesn't. In tech, this is how you get return-to-work, massive spyware on devices (sometimes even your own devices if the company refuses to provide equipment), and other abhorrent and illegal-in-not-USA policies.

Quite honestly, in more professional positions, being told the strategic plan is more than enough for us to realize what needs done, how to do it, and execute it. Then again, I also argue for more democratic workplaces, rather than the top-down authoritarian method.
Blue Origin launch aborted after mid-flight anomaly
> Does the author essentially mean that the smaller universe still had only a part of it observable?

No, I think John C. Mather there is focused wholly on the concept of infinity. So even if the whole observable universe (30 billion light-years across) got squished to the size of a golf ball, the whole universe (infinity light-years across) would still be infinite, because multiplying infinity by some small constant still equals infinity.
It's git that removed them, not me: rebase re-writes history, that's the whole point. They simply do not exist in the repo anymore after the rebase operation is committed.

In fact, following the same merge history as in the first example, I should have named the final ones C3''', C5''', and C9', since they get re-written several times. But, most of the time, this is entirely irrelevant to their history (especially when they don't even touch the same files as the changes being merged in).

Note that C7, C11 and C15 completely disappeared, since they are unnecessary. Instead of being extra commits clogging up the log, they are the history rewrite events that don't need to be consigned.
A Checklist for Documenting Your Public-Facing API
I am very, very excited about Stable Diffusion and similar technologies. I do see a ton of pushback from human artists who seem fairly venomous in their attacks. But I tend to believe that this will pass once we have a new normal and they will use these AI assisted techniques to enhance their abilities.
It's certainly 'normal' in academic and some professional circles. To the extent that the writing is the work, the indexing and other organizing methods suggested by a variety of note-taking "methodologies" is part of the work.

It also occurs to me that working before the age of ubiquitous computing devices readily at hand, the handwritten notes where the notes, not an adjunct to a notes app, online storage, and other assists for automatic indexing.

However, for the sort of person who still makes handwritten notes in their primary information-gathering step, going back and indexing them, even when the notes, or some abstracted form of them, will be entered into a computer.
This. And I just hope that the license doesn't kill this project - there is a reason why Linux (GPL) is still here while Konqueror/KHTML (MIT) is nowhere to be seen, or worse, was (ab)used by Google to get us to this mess.
At the risk of being stricken by negative karma…

I sympathize, really (having subsisted on zero means[1], however seeing redit posts of what $x buys in food which invariably contain cookies, potato chips, and soda makes me balk.

Americans do not know how to take care of themselves. You have lost your way.

There is this idea of lean living which applies to the wealthy and modest alike (without detracting from the plight of true impoverishment, which does exist.. and is not this!)

[1] have you checked out your local freegans? Such as http://foodnotbombs.net/ ; I’ve volunteered at food kitchens and free farmers markets, I know who’s wanting and who just doesn’t know how to care for themselves [menacing glare].

> I've never had a manager who was as good as me at doing my particular job. If I needed help with those aspects of my job I spoke to the project lead

Ok sure, but a "Project Lead" is just another title for a manager. Calling your managers something else, doesn't make them not-a-manager.
Yes, it is a crime to conceal your financial transactions from the government.
Except here there is a causative link of combustion byproducts of that size causing real harm. I've also lived in lots of apartments that don't have external-venting range hoods, so all that PM you generate while cooking is just in your living space until you filter it or breathe it. Introducing a PM counter, better filters, and enhanced ventilation practices (such as running the upstairs bathroom fan while cooking) dramatically reduced the eye irritation and stuffy nose I tended to wake up with.

For what it's worth, the same particulate counter will also spike off the charts when anyone takes a shower, but as far as we can tell those salt pm's aren't dangerous.
> given the cost of homes and rent

Yes, at this point the economic value that the real estate sector extracts from the economy looks outrageous compared to the benefit it provides. They are literally crippling tech sector in places like San Francisco. Forcing them out, crippling synergy in between the organizations that happen when organizations are in close proximity to similar ones.
I think the "if-else nightmare logic" caused some non-friendly answers over there but I get your idea.

I don't entirely agree with the end user being the root of all, at least in FOSS. While they shouldn't be alienated, the focus should be on having a good approach to the project, one that is friendly with the idea of having to code after a full time job, like most open source developers do.

Keep in mind that this isn't a job, nobody will fire you and most complains by end users can be ignored with no consequences. If the project is not fun and engaging, then what's the incentive to keep going?
I’ll settle for text/enriched (RFC 1896). It’s the best of both worlds: The safety of plain text, but proportional fonts, flowing paragraphs, and text styling like HTML.
Our last game was about 2 weeks ago... two of us hit the same issue with the screen not "repainting" and being black. No issue with the chrome browsers, so it's easier to just switch rather than bog the game down with debugging/diagnosis.

It's usually "ok" and I can deal with performance issues; but these little niggles just makes you want to not deal with it.

What actually worries me is the presence of HR, who from what they will see in this sort of social I am sure will come up with totally wrong ideas about employees.

To work, social features must be kept to a minimum, with no "like" and "share" buttons. Otherwise the employee who puts the wrong like will pay for it sooner or later.

See LinkedIn. Initially it was a decent social, where you found colleagues, set up interviews and read news. LinkedIn is where I found my current job here, which I like very much. Now it suffers from the same things as facebook, people who have no idea what they write, post, share, with disastrous results. It's a complete shithole full of "head hunters" and useless post about "how to grow the company" or "how to work smart" and a lot of "life changing" idea that are just trash or copypasta.
