Bitcoin was never intended for instantaneous transactions. Remember when credit cards were offline and bulk data was processed at the end of the day with one roll-up transaction phoned in? That's basically the solution.

Assuming it's a problem in the first place. The consumer EFT system in my country routinely has a 30 - 60 minute delay before the transaction can be processed, and that doesn't stop everyone from using it routinely to pay their rent. And actual wire transfers still take days. That would seem to be the competition. (Comparing to credit cards is flawed, as the funds don't transfer custody with a credit card for some time, as anyone who has dealt with a chargeback knows.)

I wouldn't recommend a specific book for this, as reading can only help with technicalities that are better understood in other ways, IMO.

Laws are generally not retroactive (though admittedly this principle does get violated).

> The Ex Post Facto Clause, contained in Article I, Section 9, Clause 3 of the Constitution, provides: “No . . . ex post facto Law shall be passed.” The phrase “ex post facto,” Latin for “after the fact,” refers to laws that apply retroactively. While the Ex Post Facto Clause on its face might appear to bar all retroactive legislation, courts have applied the Clause only to penal laws.

> Congress has much greater leeway to enact retroactive legislation in the civil sphere than in the criminal sphere. However, certain constitutional limits apply, and courts interpreting ambiguous statutes apply a general presumption against retroactivity.

You understand that credit card payments don't usually get settled immediately, right?

If you want a comparable experience to regular credit cards, simply accept unsettled bitcoin transactions, and get some insurance for the events where the unsettled transactions got double spent.

You'll get the exact same experience as a bank, with a much faster settlement time, and significantly lower fees.

It probably doesn't help that I believe that social science is not a science.
Permits to build, permits to remodel, taxes for simply existing year-over-year, taxes for having too few people living in the house... is there a limit to how far government will go to control what people can and cannot do with their own property?
Alternatively, they could have just left things alone and paid the $100/mo.

It's odd because this blog post also announces the end of the free beta for the service. It goes in depth about how they jumped through a bunch of hoops and introduced more complexity to the service because they were annoyed that DigitalOcean raised their prices. And at the end they're asking you to pay $5.99/mo for it?

Wait, most if not all are not noscript/basic (x)html friendly, what codeberg seems to be. Ok, github.com has most of its critical functions (microsoft has managed not to f*ck it up... yet) working with a noscript/basic (x)html browser, gitlab and bitbucket, not even possible to create an account, and if I recall properly, neither for sourcehut.

There are other git services which are noscript/basic (x)html friendly from the ground up, and EU based, but much less popular.
Deno did pick a standard: the standard of the browser. Deno more directly aligns with the web browsers versus Node "standards" that were designed almost intentionally to be incompatible with web browsers. Most of those libraries you point out are all getting rewritten for ESM (a seven year old standard from 2015, mind you) and better browser compatibility anyway as Node itself finally slowly aligns with web standards. Just because they aren't all "necessary" rewrites doesn't make that all of them are "not useful".

The good news is that in this case the "competition" seems healthy: Deno's efforts have spurred Node forward to better embracing standards they've notoriously avoided before (or at least have been slow to adapt to). Deno's efforts have helped make Node more solid in its ESM support, as a big for instance. There's still an optimism that Deno and Node will again converge sometime down the future.

This is why we need a Software Engineering license.

That one has a video.

Your case is roughly as incoherent as one which claims that a thrown ball does not perform Newtonian physics. It doesn't have to.

Now that we've disposed of the nonsense that cochlear response is not meaningfully modeled with Fourier analysis, interested parties might have fun with research into all the ways this model is not perfect. I've got a paper loaded in my reader claiming it's actually wavelet analysis, for when I have time and inclination to read it.

It's a bit disappointing that the general consensus seems be: more tests is always better.

A lot of people are fooling themselves about the time needed to build and maintain tests vs. the benefits of having those tests.

And anyone questioning their value is seen as some lazy outsider who just doesn't get it.
Plus, for some reason humans as a group tend to prefer the fake perfect over the real good. Autotune perfects bad playing and singing, we use audience brain responses to tune the editing of movies, CGI over practical effects, clickbait over quality titles, zinging 1 liners more important than the novel they describe.

One the one hand, you can't fault the masses for buying the goods they're sold, and on the other hand you can't fault the sellers for maximizing the apparent quality of their products, but somewhere inbetween all of that broad mindedness and beauty there has to be something at fault for creating a world where actual human beings are not good enough to participate as equals and the playing field is pay to win on a scale that boggles the imagination.
What quantum physics tells us about reality
Gitlab has a nice GUI, team features, and CI/CD integration. It's a reasonable choice for a team.

I also remember the there were tools that use Git as a backend for a change review system, and for an issue-tracking system (much like the stuff which Fossil has integrated).

With that, you theoretically don't need a central server at all, as long as you can send patches to each other. In practice, a central server is an important convenience that helps keep the history synchronized between several developers.
Corollary: if you think that everyone is incompetent, perhaps you're missing something.

For instance, you fly with AAL because of price, food, service. What sort of entertainment system would change your mind? It is hard to create something that works for everyone, is integrated with a plane that doesn't have a lot of downtime, etc. I'd rather just use my own device, so the best entertainment system in the world is unlikely to change who I fly with. So why invest in that?

Or on the original topic: the problem is not that they can't develop a similar app -- if nothing else, they could license this one or just turn a blind eye. It seems like they don't want it to exist.
Yes, `cargo publish` has the `--no-verify` flag if you want to force this. I think all the verification is client-side.

Neat service! Any chance you plan on turning that into “saas-able” domain solution. (let’s say I had a domain and wanted to offer something similar).
Agreed.

I’m married with two children, and my spouse effectively[1] doesn’t earn an income. I’d consider running a startup, but my life situation requires that I have a reasonably steady annual income of ~$125k.

That doesn’t mean I have a lower risk tolerance, or at least not exactly. It means I have a higher risk floor that I had fifteen years ago.

[1]: they have a small business that I’d reasonably say is their life’s work. Because of my income they don’t have to make it a steadily profitable business and can therefore reinvest the profit it produces. It’s a business serving children and is parts of the burgeoning local arts community. It’s very helpful to be able to waive fees and offer small scholarships for children in our area, where the median family annual income is <$30k. It’s also been a blessing to be able to hire teenage students from time to time; more than once that’s turned an extracurricular activity that the kid is passionate about from a cost to a small source of income for a family of very limited means./

Why do you think you're the first? Did you perform a systematic survey?
One way to think of incompleteness/halting is that the future is not computable. Meaning that to see the result of some symbolic/computational process you have to actually run the program and there is no shortcut to making a prediction one way or the other if we want to know for certain what the result would actually be.

There is something called abstract interpretation that can tell you what the result of some computation will be but by necessity it can only be an approximation because it must halt in some finite amount of time. Type systems are a good example of abstract interpretation because type systems assign a logical/mathematical semantics to code and allow one to determine in a finite amount of time whether some code is logically coherent according to the rules of the type system.

The larger philosophical implication of all this is that symbolic/computational models of reality are always approximations. Whatever one can know for certain has either already happened and is in the past or there is some symbolic model/approximation which must necessarily have some degree of uncertainty and error.

The tutorial itself is pretty cool. Props to the author for putting it together.

I don't think I'd enjoy managing my own single-node Kubernetes deployment, monitoring, upgrades etc., but some might!

The other point that I didn't really cover in this article was all the monitoring goodies you get for free with Fly; definitely not something to be overlooked as a solo dev.

The medium-term plan is to move the database to Fly as well, but I wanted to share a way for people to do a partial migration to Fly if they are not quite ready for a full database migration.

As for using a Procfile manager being a "hack", once we are freed from the constraints of Docker containers and back in the realm of VMs, I think running multiple processes again becomes the norm.

I don't quite agree with the "one machine (or machine-like abstraction) => one process" thinking in this regard.

And by "tons of gray areas" you actually mean "a laser-sharp line between what is allowed and what is not."

A founder using the company to pay for their own housing is subject to income tax on the value of the housing provided. Full stop. There are no defensible situations that will survive a tax audit in which the founder gets away with using the startup to pay for their housing without getting taxed on it.

And the IRS no longer allows a deduction for home offices for employees, and won't allow this deduction again until 2025. The home office deduction is strictly for those running a separate business out of their home, and may only be used to offset income reported on the return from that separate business.
What counts as "free speech" tends to be subjective: was MLK pro-free-speech or against it? That depends on whose speech you're considering. I can give even earlier counter-examples with left/right flipped (e.g. abolitionist literature in the south).

My initial point wasn't that it never happened, only to show there were never deliberate, strategic positions on free speech by the left or right- only messy tactical circumstances. Not long before McCarthyism was Japanese internment by a giant of the left: FDR.

Obama famously called someone a "jack-ass" after they exercised their free speech on-stage. He also railed against the Citizens United ruling. Having a binary "for/against free speech" is reductive.
>but when it's a successful artist we try to find them excuses.

This is, to me, what is missing from this entire thing. Kanye is bipolar, yes, but I don't think anything he's points to some kind of manic outburst. What he said over the past few weeks have be fairly mainstream (or sub-mainstream) conservative talking points. Maybe not the ones that get blasted on Fox News, but the ones that shared and like with Fox News posts on Facebook.

To me the "Kanye is mentally ill" is a cover to hide some very pervasive talking points in conservative circles. It's an extension of the mass misinformation problems that we as a society have been dealing with since COVID and Kanye is the latest victim.

I usually hear those sorts of rationalizations in companies that have already become feature factories. We just have to go fast. We can't make people slow down and learn discipline, or if we have, we can't go back and fix the past because we have to go go go.

In retrospect I think I should have put more effort into breaking the feature factory culture than the discipline culture. It's hard to get clean if your drug of choice is ready at hand.

It’s really interesting how factorio problems are pretty much the same as multiprocessing/distributed systems problems. It just shows how universal and fundamental the idea of “work” and “workers” are. An engineer on my old team came up with a credit system to solve this problem, the receiver issues credits to the sender, which only sends when there is a credit available - this ends up with the same better failure mode that the article discovers and allows you to overlap communication with work.
I would posit that for Latin words and phrases to have become “de facto” English is ex post facto the historical prevalence of people having learned Latin.

>On some (all?) Airbus planes, the basic flight controls don’t require the flight computers to function.

I would honestly hope that would be true about any airplane from any manufacture. Fly-by-wire makes some of that more difficult when the wires go through the computer, but even then I'd have assumed some sort of 100% manual capability. Like when Y2K nutters were predicting airplanes falling out of the sky because of 2-digit years rather than the logical the planes would behave according to laws of physics for an intact air frame.
I always assumed the pedestrian light was white to avoid confusion with the green traffic light for parallel drivers.

I'm not sure that screenwriters or studios care to much about this kind of distribution on the web. Screenplays for Oscar-contending movies are usually distributed widely and freely prior to voting, including via widely-known, industry-friendly blogs, and I don't know that anyone has any problem with this (unlike copies of the actual films distributed to voting members of the Academy). The scripts listed here are often available at a variety of long-established sites on the Internet. Yes, some screenplays available in book form, usually with added value content, such as production or behind-the-scenes photographs, commentary and analysis, etc. Hard copies of screenplays have been sold at comic and pop-culture shops, though I'm not sure how these are distributed or who benefits from them (beyond the shop).

Screenwriters advise other screenwriters to read existing screenplays, and the best source for someone wanting to read a lot of screenplays is the Internet. As someone who is trying to learn about screenwriting, availability of produced screenplays is a critical resource...and I simply am not aware of screenwriters or filmmakers demanding these already-produced screenplays to be taken down.

Since about 60% of the visitors of most English-speaking websites are American, I assume that requires finding the American answer. But that requires me to jump not just a language barrier but also a cultural barrier to figure out nuances like "what constitutes a traffic light? Do pedestrian lights count? Do the poles and cables count, or just the light-emitting part?" "What constitutes a street sign" "Is a Mecedes Sprinter with windows a bus (it's one of wikipedia's example of a minibus)?".

In the end the known unknowns aren't that bad, just assume laziness and choose whatever checks the least boxes. But the unknown unknowns are regular culture shocks. Like pedestrian lights not being considered traffic lights.
