> No it doesn't. It has one purpose, and one purpose only: to secure the network against double-spending attacks by making it infeasible to reverse transactions.

I won’t argue with you on this point. A better way to phrase it might be to say “POW has many features or implications for Bitcoin…”

> There are PoW cryptocurrencies like Monero, Litecoin, and many others that have community-driven development and institute a less dangerous emission schedule than Bitcoin.

Disagree that it is dangerous. We don’t have enough information about the future to determine that. It is just as likely that fee markets will be enough, thus implementing some kind of “perpetual emission” would only damage the value of the network.

Nobody will know the answer until it happens.

> Somebody who has to pick up that codebase later would have to spend time and effort figuring out all those custom smart pointers and their idiosyncrasies.

If we're still on the topic of game engines, someone who cannot easily figure out a smart pointer implementation has no place working with the game engine's code in the first place.

Unreal Engine has its own implementation for that stuff and it took me literally minutes to get to grips with it - same with the custom engines in companies i worked at before. This has absolutely never been a real problem in practice.
I'm not sure how that follows?

Most design patterns come way back from C++’s OOP hype area, actually.

Java just made those insane architectures possible due to not segfaulting at every turn, hence it also got associated with them. And indeed, many are “deprecated” by all the “new” features, including generics which is not exactly new.

Probably not the answer you are looking for but Carnegie's 'How to Win Friends and Influence People'.

So much of our career path is decided on relations more so than deliverables, also self-promotion is key but it doesn't come naturally for everybody.

The idea that I shouldn't self-promote (because somehow it felt like bragging) and that people will notice if I do amazing work but stay silent was probably one of the most negatively impacting inhibitions I had at the beggining of my career. Also the book made me realize how 'utilitarian' and sometimes selfish I was in communication with others.

I had an amazing manager as a Junior who gifted me that book, it really gives you some perspective. We are often selfish listeners and are not committed to acknowledging the other in a 2 way relation. Once you condition yourself not to do that then building relations is way easier, and the space for self-promotion occurs naturally without a feeling of humblebrag.
The idea of our craft is to deliver value, not to find a new weird way to do the same thing. If dentists were programmers, the most expensive ones would be removing teeth via the rectum.

At least that's what current society shows us. If the humanities graduates were actually a mass of well-rounded people that contributed to society, and happened to also have debt as a result, we'd be having a better conversation right now.

The current reality is that that many (not all) humanities majors are societal annoyances with little to show for their education and also have a ton of det.
Generous loans increase buying power and, in the absence of elastic supply, would result in rising prices that keep housing expensive.

If someone works from home (in some capacity) and has an internet-connected security camera in their home, and they subscribe to a service who monitors those cameras, would that service also be subject to approval from their employer? How about the firmware in their webcam and microphone? Their phone? Their hearing aid?

Let’s face it, there is now entirely too much technology which is able to compromise a person’s security that employers can’t realistically declare all of it to be off-limits for employees.
It's probably not a popular view, but I suspect if the West or IAEA condemned Kyiv's shelling of Zaporizhia NPP in the last couple of months this probably wouldnt be happening.

Russia was publicly furious about the shelling. The western reaction was either a perplexing "Russia shelled themselves" or "they asked for it by having their military there / shelling across the river from that location".

IAEA, as a supposedly independent agency, was invited in to have a look and they said nothing about the shelling of the plant at all in their report. Again, Russia was furious.

So, it's not really a surprise that theyve declared open season on nuclear power plants.
I would think about it for sure.

My comparison point would be a Patreon podcast membership that’s $5 a month for weekly bonus podcasts.

I would do this ASAP if you plan to. As in the “podcast” model you’re getting more than what youre used to receiving for free. Here you’d be restricting free content to something less than people have gotten used to.
Where are you drawing that conclusion from? Java has an immense legacy to draw talented developers from. Is it really Java itself, or its legacy?
Oh, please, ok, there was a security flaw - how does it prove that it is over-engineers? If anything it is too flexible and gives developers too many features so that one of them was compromised.

This is why I left Java. Everything "looks nice" on the surface with annotations, but you loose the flexibility of code and a lot of the available tooling. Plus you need to be a real expert to debug issues and solve problems; understand framework architecture and read reflection code. You can't just put a breakpoint in there and start debugging. It's optimizing for the wrong thing.

The bad news is; this culture is permeating somewhat into Rust now that more Java devs are moving over.

This whole attitude is IBMs fault. They tried to get into the Java market by applying their big iron terminal thinking to create Java EE.

Java under Suns management was a lot more like golang today; pragmatism, fewer language features, and focus on writing code.
Shall we definitively say that a problem of all languages is that they evolve to the maximum complexity that a single brain can understand, then they collapse because nobody understands them?

All languages start with “Lightweight, lightening fast and hotreloadable!”, then become a gas plant as they need abstractions to handle industry concerns (hello Reflection API, javaagents, NIO, functional programming, now the Cloud, then AI),

Are there intrinsic properties a language can have that prevents bloating to the maximum complexity a human can handle, and yet allows it to handle industry usecases?

This is from 2011, maybe around the peak of functional hype, when even John Carmack sent out memos about approaching things in FP ways, and tried making his things in Haskell and then Scheme. It's my impression (which could be wrong) that he has significantly backpedaled from that since then.

A genuine question, why would someone choose Rust for web development instead of Typescript/nodejs? Most of the times the database is the bottleneck for web applications and nodejs will provide good enough performance for that. Also, typescript provides a good type system like Rust without the tedious need to manage memory with borrow checker.

0. Use GIT.

1. Add a staging environment.

2. Add a CICD.

3. Add tests. Start by easy ones (new features) to get team used to writing them. Then important flows. If your team doesn’t have the bandwidth hire a contractor. Ex: https://avantsoft.com.br

4. Choose a part of the code the warrants being the first to refactor. Balance easiness with importance.

5. Define a better structure/architecture for it.

6. Refactor.

7. Repeat from 4 as many times as needed.

Also, consider micro-services on new features… may be an alternative to full rewrite.

It's depressing how shit the internet is now. Youtube has a virtual monopoly on video, effectively making them the public square for rich media. But you're limited in what you can post there, they can remove or deboost or quarantine whatever they want, and they actively prevent you from integrating with them. This is pretty much what every major platform turns into over time.

It's the complete opposite of what it was 20 years ago.

Graphics between an end-of-life and a new next-gen console are a bad comparison. Late PS3 and early PS4 games also saw only small improvements. But compare early PS3 to late PS4 titles and the differences are staggering. The PS5 has about an order of magnitude more processing power than the base PS4 and Moore's law states that computing power doubles every two years, which means it gains an order of magnitude every 6 or 7 years - which is precisely the time frame between the PS4 and PS5 release. Moore's law definitely isn't dead and the new console generation proves it.

Good VPN company (one of the best) and good idea (sounds like USB Armory). But the best it can do is assure that their VMs are not logging anything and keep other promises. Will they also be able to share details of their hosting setup in a way you can independently verify (because they can always have more middleware transparent traffic logging VMs)? doubt it, same goes to whomever they use for hosting.

My point is, while I don't ascribe to the extremes of pro or anti VPN sentiments, having a good understanding of what services like this can and cannot do and performing rudimentary yet essential security and privacy risk asessment is essential before trusting them with all your traffic.

Canadian universities have all of these. The state pays a big component of their cost with students paying tuition about on par with the numbers quoted above. This seems reasonable; I don't think anyone regardless of program should get it for free.
Those are very intertwined though. It's a helix of complexity and technological cynicism.
This is why everybody should stop using Google as their primary search engine, and either use DuckDuckGo/Startpage/Brave or (even better) self-hosted meta-search engines like SearX/SearxNG.

I personally opted for the SearxNG option and I haven't looked back at Google for a single search for months.

Google decides to remove a website from their engine because of their bullshit reasons? And who cares? Google is only one among ten different sources that contribute to my SearxNG results. Other search engines will probably keep including that website.

The best way to stop Google's arrogant monopoly is to ensure that they become just another source among many, and that nobody cares of their search results more than they care about Brave, Ecosia or DDG. Remember that the only reason why Google has so much power over users and businesses is that too many people use it as their sole source of truth.
I mean... Electricity theoretically could be payed with Bitcoin... What am I not seeing here? This argument that Bitcoin will leak only works if people are taking their value to other monetary systems. Which is the case today, but decreasingly so, as judged by Bitcoin increasing price over the long run.
If the GNOME project were a corporation with non-technical management and a PR department, some higher-up would have ordered the devs to just add server-side decorations to Mutter already, regardless of how it complicates the code or compromises their design vision, to fix the bad PR. Of course, at least one such corporation, Red Hat, is already funding a lot of the development on GNOME. Maybe the Red Hat higher-ups are giving their desktop developers too much autonomy.

I've read the thread. I think the GNOME developers have logical reasons for their position. But it still makes them look bad, particularly since every other Wayland compositor supports SSD.

In addition to what others have said, we have no shortage of economic collapses throughout history as a result of nations and banks becoming unable to pay their debts and/or basic necessities becoming unaffordable to citizens, we just record them as defaults and bank runs, complete collapses of the entire nations and mass famines (and wars and pogroms to try to make up gold shortfalls) rather than neat little time series of goods prices (which nobody collected in earnest until the late nineteenth century)

How is it a rambling article? The author has an opinion and articulates it. It could be wrong, but that doesn't make it a ramble.

To me, it seems like an interesting take and makes a lot of sense. If the network is kept running by miners, and they need a certain price to make it profitable, then the price needs to keep going up as the rewards halve. Seems straightforward. It's also made clear that the price will eventually need to be astronomical. The second argument is that the price will need to go up even more, since the hashrate will need to go up as well, plus electricity prices will also go up. I wouldn't mind hearing where the author is wrong here.

The argument about Ethereum I am less interested in.

It's not detecting that you are trying to run remote. That's just the default behavior of the firefox command, to use the running instance of there is one. IIRC, there is an option you can pass on the command line to get around it.
My understanding is that it's both a more general platform (targeting more than 2FA) and also uses an FPGA running open-source code, so that the "secure enclave" functionality can be inspected and found to be secure, rather than just trusting NXP/ARM's chip as SoloKeys have done.

I think we need to reconceptualize property rights. Instead of something you 'own', it's valuable resources that you rented from the community.

Rich people gets to use the most valuable land, but they will also likely pay more, and also likely to use it more efficiently, unlike today where you have landowners who sat on lands worth million of dollars and oppose development. This is land hoarding and it's not good.

I guess that's something I am really trying to figure out. The project is moving into the Linux Foundation on Non-Profit Community Platform. Contributors have so far been from a variety of universities across the world and have been contributing in.

I am still trying to figure out the mechanisms as to how to create this type of government mechanisms. I have a couple of advantages over the other platforms I think. Mine is organized in such a way data can be found easily and categorized. My lists are abstracted from expertise who and what resource so folk can trace easily. I also wrote a lot of tooling for analysis and other things you can use to analyze the data yourself to get an idea of the functional groups and diversity. Things that relate to your compound.
