It’s probably impossible to track that with any meaningful precision. Historically it’s the (central) tracker that implements the bookkeeping.

To the contrary, I'm a person with ADHD, and most days I'm thankful for it. But I also do have a huge amount of started or sketched side projects, that I wish I had the will power to finish, but I don't.

P.S. ADHD is not a sickness/illness. It's differently wired brain.

Did you mean that I can or can't disagree that blockchains are older than Bitcoin?

Would you agree that various things that use cryptography or merkle trees including git, certificate transparency, including hashes in logs to prevent tampering, or someone posting a hash in the New York Times a long time ago, are NOT "blockchain" in the sense that Satoshi used it in his whitepaper?

Am I mistaken in my belief that the first time the word "blockchain" was used was in the Bitcoin whitepaper itself?

As you did, I saw Bitcoin very early, and wrote it off because I didn't think it would go anywhere. I was wrong. The fact that it's still here more than 10 years later and it's worth so much is proof enough that Bitcoin and/or subsequent systems that are blockchains as Satoshi defined them actually do "matter" and that I was wrong to think it didn't back then.
When I had my Pixel 2 XL I was constantly amazed at how clear, sharp, and non-muddy the computational photos came out. It was astonishing. I now have a 13 Pro Max and wish that I could just shut off the “water color effect”. I don’t know if it’s just me being picky, but I swear to god the Pixel 2 XL had a better camera in every way. More zoom, higher quality color, sharper pictures, WAY BETTER IMAGE STABILIZATION, and the computation stuff like Google’s night mode is leagues ahead of iPhone.
You can also try readcd/readom. It's really helpful in reading badly damaged CD/CDRs.
I quite like embracing the word personally, I suspect it dates back to pirate radio in the 1960s which in parts of Europe actually did come from ships anchored just outside of territorial waters.

Another interesting example of people embracing the pirate image was British submarines in WW1. The First Sea Lord of the day saw them as ungentlemanly and called for all German submarine crews to be hanged as pirates, this outburst birthed the tradition that a British submarine returning home after successfully sinking an enemy vessel flies the jolly roger! The last time this occurred was after the 1982 Falklands War, I believe HMS Conqueror to this day remains the only nuclear submarine to have engaged an enemy ship with torpedos.
You know things take time, he didn’t inherit the Whitehouse in’s a very organised way?

Motivation is a factor too? Who cares if he was motivated by the election, he did a good thing, he could’ve tried to rile everyone up and start a new war on drugs or something similar.

He gave people a break for something which should never be criminal.

I’m motivated to work, mostly by money, the chance of a bonus and all that the money I earn brings me, I’m not a bad person for this. Sometimes I take the money and donate it too, this is similar in my opinion.

Yes, but they see it as a data dump, without perceiving any spacial connections between the vectors represented by each row. The point of spatial reasoning is using our minds inner eye to visualize those connections intuitively, and the tabular data dump has nothing of it.
Wouldn't the responsibility of the government representatives be to represent the opinion of the people at the time? I wouldn't be surprised if in 1973 most Americans were also totally onboard with criminalizing possession of drugs.

And similarly now the opinion of the people has shifted, so the government representatives are adopting policies that match up with today's opinion.

I'm not saying this to defend any particular person you referenced, just that the logic of saying that in the past someone was against something and now they're for it isn't necessarily hypocrisy, or false pretense. If the opinion of the people they represent also changed and at both times were respected, that seems to be a great example of a functioning republic no?
Why not study medicine and become a doctor? The web dev industry is too ageist and mostly runs on churning new-grads, whereas as a doctor, gray hair is an advantage not a perceived "disability".

Or try less hip domains in SW development popular with gray beards like embedded. Pay isn't as hot as web dev, but age is not a problem.

Edit, since I'm comment throttled and can't reply: In my country studying medicine is free/vey cheap. And SW devs don't make six figures here so studying to become a doctor is way better for your bank account and job security than competing with thousands of new-grads in an ageist industry.
going to an Ivy League university under a government scholarship, which I then regretted so badly I had to break my 6 year required work contract and pay back ~400k including interest. probably set my life back at least 10 years.

Pfizer had this data from Israelis already in March 2021 but scientific publications appeared in July 2021. Most vaccine mandates were introduced after that which is very strange because we already had all the data that vaccines are not going to stop the spread of infection thus making vaccines only good for personal protection to minimise the risk of severe disease and infection.

I had never heard about Peter McCullough until today. Short glance in wikipedia about him is not very impressive. He was wrong about hydroxychloroquine but so were many health authorities about certain other things. He got some things correct. For example, the last sentence in wiki is: _by disputing the necessity of vaccinations to achieve herd immunity_. He got that one right and those who (mis)labeled it as misinformation were wrong.

Banning him is not good for democracy. Better to have an open debate based on scientific data to show who is right.
Sometimes it also depends on the specific version, like when you need to deal with empty arrays - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7577052/bash-empty-array...

The problem with cloud storage is that it's a needy thing. You have to pay for it in periodic payments the whole time it exists. And it's also controlled by someone else.

I do really wish there to be a type of storage medium that I could record, store somewhere, and forget about. And then when I need it years later, it would still be perfectly readable. Optical discs are indeed kinda that, but their reliability is hit or miss.
Webtorrent is a modification to the bittorrent protocol to allow it to be used from a web browser with no plugins/extensions.

It's built on top of WebRTC.

Webtorrent and regular torrents can exist of the same file, but crucially, at least some small percentage of the people in the network have to support both webtorrent and regular torrent to act as a kind of bridge between the two.

If this isn't the case, you might have a webtorrent user who has the file, and a regular torrent user who wants the file, but the two people can't connect to eachother because they're talking different protocols, so the file won't be delivered.

The Nobel Peace Prize 2022
Around 1995, I remember that some German PC seller (Vobis) pre-installed OS/2 (for some time together with DOS/Windows, 3.11 at the time, if I recall correctly), so most probably there were some kind of low cost OEM versions, later they had OS/2 only:

Interesting question, and it really boils down to "given what you know now, what would you have done differently in the past?"

Most regrets stem from poor information or prediction capability such as the story of the one that went into game development during college instead of a better course or the one that didn't focus on programming until late in life.

I think the biggest regrets doesn't come from lack of prediction or information but just from the lack of willingness to take risks.

Life is finite and so whether we take risks or not, we all end-up in the same place; but to those who took risks and it paid-off, the journey is much more pleasant and the reckoning at the end is much more fruitful.

Of course this is just a platitude and isn't really that helpful, since there are a lot of risk-takers that just end-up dead or worse-off.

But the idea is that a person can't win by not taking risks since we're all dead anyways and so maybe a calculated risk is the answer.
Wish you well!

BLS says that the CPI doesn't track savings, just day-to-day living expenses. And that's okay, people want these indices to do everything. (And the Fed is not even using the CPI, they are using the PCE ... and there's a bunch more https://www.bea.gov/resources/learning-center/quick-guide-so... And the PCE is considered too broad, because it has inputs from businesses, nonprofits, etc. But of course it's not like business costs are irrelevant to the economy...)

That said, I think the biggest problem is that these general indices are used for things like welfare calculations, but they already don't represent the average welfare recipient. So adding equity would make it even less useful for that. (Which is mostly just an argument for having more indices, each representing a large chunk of society. But of course the cynic in me says that we already have one for the important people, the SP500, and poor people only matter when they are undecided voters in swing states.)

> Now, supply is (mostly) recovered, but demand still remains elevated.

Mostly, though basic input like oil is still not at the early 2020 levels. Aaand OPEC cut production just yesterday.

> we are really looking at an “imbalance between supply and demand” due in part to all of economic, social, and political factors.

Yep. And every think tank from the political zoo has their own critique of the actions of the Fed, but monetary policy is simply a blunt tool, and all of the structural problems are ... surprise surprise ... structural conflicts between big powerblocks. (One common laughing stock is the Jones Act. US shipbuilding is basically non-existent, and what's left is useless for "national security" purposes anyway. But it's somehow completely entrenched. Similarly other protectionist policies that serve special interests serve exactly one purpose to enrich members of those special interest groups. It's bad for consumers, it's bad for the economy, it's bad for labor markets, etc.)

All in all there's an argument in this about how the US fucked up the transition during globalization. (The big one is using market access as a carrot in WTO, but then not enforcing reciprocity with China and others. And the lack of any real and effective management of wage deflation in the affected areas, like the rust belt, goes without saying.)
Data and Reality, by William Kent. Earliest edition you can find.

For general database design, Stephane Faroult is good. Although he comes from an Oracle background, and underuses domains as a result.

Rules of thumb: use up to 30 indexes per table, use views extensively, use schemas to manage access permissions. Use stored procedures for updates.

Don't let applications see tables: they should see views only.

Where did we talk about selling online? Also you can sell online using cash, i.e. one person sends cash the other sends the goods (Mullvad for example sells the VPN services with cash). True most online places don't accept cash, but most also don't accept crypto either, and lets not even talk about physical places.

> Yeah. Basically instead of treating ! specially, Bash treats it like any other command that sets $? afterwards. And since it always succeeds, you always end up with $?=0 after it.

I don't think that is true, consider:

# if false ; then echo "true $?" ; else echo "false $?" ; fi
false 1
# if ! false ; then echo "true $?" ; else echo "false $?" ; fi
true 0
# if ! ! false ; then echo "true $?" ; else echo "false $?" ; fi
false 1

Basically, $? evaluates to the full condition inside the "if" sentence.

One of the first things I learned when starting to use $? was to assign it to a variable asap if I needed to use it more than once.

Depends on what you mean by "best". If you mean best as in quick to launch, performant, and easy to maintain, then I'd say PHP because it was built specifically for web development.

The problem with PHP is that it's too easy to use and apps built with it have low maintenance costs. Which means that your ownership over a code base can easily be transferred to someone else.

If you want the best tech stack that will prevent you from killing the job, then I'd say Typescript or Java based API and a front-end framework like React. The more complex the code, the harder it will be to replace you and your team.

No search query should ever result in a visit from authorities, especially for therapy or psychological evaluation. There are quite a few books that thoroughly describe why this is a bad idea. Probably available on Amazon.

This is just a result of the ruleset and can happen with any recommendation. You have to add an exception for certain keywords until there is outrage about another combination again. Because neither taste, sensibility nor any thought is part of the recommendation process.

Yes, pejoratives, which he has several sprinkled in, are a judgement and not factual.
All the sources for the designs and testbenches were tested on Vivado and are available at GitHub. For the generic implementations I used unconstrained ports, which gives much simpler and compact code than using generic parameters.

The implementation of the round-robin arbiter uses a very clever and (again) compact algorithm.
I massively reduced using torrent once I got proper high speed internet. As it turns out, streaming is much more convenient but the streaming world is not all candies and rainbows.

See, I do have Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ etc. but they each have their own app and even their combined coverage is not complete.

Do you know who has the (almost)complete movie&series coverage? Fmovies. That's where I watch most of my stuff lately, because of convenience. The legal content providers screwed it up again, once more they are not the most convenient way to watch movies and series.

Every now and then Fmovies would not have something, or I would like to watch something immediately after it's premiere and it would take more hours to be added to Fmovies. Sometimes I really like something I would like to keep it and make sure not lose it for re-watch or some movie has such a nice visuals that I need it in the best quality possible.

That's where Transmission comes handy.
I remember the last time this discussion came up at work and half the people where saying "We don't need special quiet offices at work, since if I want quiet concentration I'll just work from home" and the other half "No!

Great question. I wish I would not change anything. Sometimes, I wanted to get out of technology and tried to find another job. Nonetheless, it was a waste of time. I should focus on software development because it's my strength. All of us should use our strength to be a giver. Money will follow.
