It absolutely does. I presume you're talking about transaction security, since debit cards have long existed for convenience, and again: once you send money from a checking account, it's gone. If I have a dispute on a transaction, it's far more difficult to reverse.

Interesting to see another language that uses the `loop` keyword for C-based `for` loops. The only other I know of is Raku[0].

They really didn’t. The fact that it was really useful was blindingly obvious to everyone pretty quickly. Like nobody was confused thinking it was better to not be able to check your bank transaction history online.

The question at the time was how useful, and how quickly things were going to be transformed and what it was all worth since the hype and valuations got out of control.

And there were of course dumb ideas that got funded (like the cue cat) and good but early ideas that were overfunded and poorly executed (like webvan).

But life was changing irreversibly at a very visible pace as digital solutions took over. Remember when every business district had a travel agent?

There are no real uses of blockchain technology today that aren’t a variation on financial speculation (aka gambling) and illicit activity.

Don’t get me wrong those are great use cases. Gambling and banned transactions are a major sector. But that’s the limit of the whole affair and that’s been obviously the case for a while.
I typically don’t deal with the middlemen directly either (though most people use Booking or Expedia) but they’re underneath it all. Referral fees for search links, payment processors, the ticketing system, security fee, airport improvement fee (which is fine and good), customs fee, immigration fee, animal and plant inspection service, all of these take their cut on the way, and then surveillance ad tech companies mine and sell the data.

And then there’s overbooking.

Some of these are necessary middlemen but I would hardly call this optimal.
toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets must be set to true in about:config for this to work

...the fact that it's called "legacy" is ominous and a sign of things to come. The fact that other browsers have been quite aggressive at slowly destroying any real form of user-controlled customisation is quite telling too. (For exmaple, did you know that IE supported user stylesheets all the way up to its last version, but Edge no longer does? And Chrome removed that functionality over half a decade ago.)
Yeah, I have no problem using "smooth scrolling" when using fingers or touchpad (is there even non-smooth scrolling for these types of inputs?); they pretty much act like dragging scroll bar using your cursor.

> For example, I recall awaking one morning being unable to hear because those muscles were isometrically flexing to a degree that prevented the eardrum from move normally. I thought I lost my hearing but then they started to relax over a few minutes.

I remember listening to a podcast where one of the guests experienced a highly stressful event. They mentioned that they felt like they couldn't hear anything for a few weeks but the problem eventually went away.

When I heard this, I assumed it was some kind of psychosomatic effect but reading this made me realize that it could also be related to actual physiological responses to stress. (You could argue that psychosomatic responses are also physiological so I'm drawing a distinction between "your brain stopped you from hearing" vs "your body was so stressed out, your ears stopped you from hearing".)

The human body is amazing.

That’s actually fine (kind of the idea of specifying a license). What is not fine is using that code in non-GPL licensed code.
One of the worst facets of the whole web3 movement is the "thought leaders" and community talking very confidently about how blockchain will replace very well established ways of doing business (FTA "airlines selling tickets"). The author takes a very dim view of the whole blockchain space, and uses the worst possible interpretation of parts of it to make their case, but I don't disagree on this point.

Whether web3 becomes a mainstream "thing" is anyone's guess, but if it makes any headway, it won't be large enterprises leading the charge. Exactly like the author states; "Do airlines have any problem selling [tickets] to you? Of course not; this process is already efficient and optimal." Where it potentially could be used is by smaller entities that don't have well established processes, and don't necessarily have the means to build out some of the required systems.

If I want to build any kind of digital asset (an item in a game*, access to a forum, etc) and I want to allow it to be traded, I have to build that trading platform. If I want it to be traded outside of my platform, then I have to deal with endless integrations. If I'm a multi-billion dollar enterprise that's fine, I can do that. If I'm a small company, that may not be feasible. If I use a blockchain to store that asset (or at least to track who owns it) then I only need to integrate to that blockchain, that is, check that a user owns the asset before I allow them to use it in my system. I'm not saying this is simple, or even currently desirable for most people or companies, but what I am saying is that it is something that is feasible and potentially of value to an end user.

Where this will struggle in the short-term is in the end-user experience. Wallets are awful, most people don't want self-custody, and honestly, the space is filled with slimy individuals that don't exactly inspire trust. I could write for hours about all the things that I view as wrong with with web3 (some of them are technical, the majority are about the people), but to outright dismiss it as a scam/only for criminals/the worst thing on Earth is blindly emotive and is (almost) as bad as the fanatics that are just as emotional about promoting it.

* I'm only referring to tracking ownership, not interoperability across different games. That can go in the "unrealistic things web3 people say" basket.
Epic! What led to this?
Since very early printing times many publishers adopted colophons: logos or emblems that can be quite elaborate but are nonetheless easy to add to a page or binding if you have a printing press and can make a die.

For example some old ones that Oxford University Press used in the 1500s and 1600s: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/61421/61421-h/images/illus6a...

I wanted a logo that felt like a colophon to complete the printerly effect that I wanted for the site design.

I have a hobby of viewing artwork from online sources that archive the kind of stuff that almost never make it into museums: sketches, prints, photographs, etc. Not because this art is low quality, but because there is so much of it that it couldn't possibly be displayed. Actually, I curate a list of high quality digitized sources for such: https://simonsarris.com/art-collections

I save a lot of it. So looking through some saved pieces, I came across the sketch of the nude reading, and cleaned it up a bit. It's by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, late 1800s (public domain of course). Not remotely one of his famous works, which are pretty much all paintings.

I was going to redo the sketch in SVG, so that dark mode readers would be able to invert it better, but getting sketch lines to look good in SVG actually takes considerable effort, so its just a jpeg for now.
Nothing, as long as your employers are fully aware and approves of it. In most areas of the US, employment is an at-will agreement between both parties. As long as you don't withhold that information during the hiring process or make them feel deceived, you have nothing to worry about.

There's also a huge damping variable due to communication latency between star systems, and of course travel time if you want two armadas to gang up on a third system.

Re that vibration: steel is the most elastic substance we know of. The Germans were relying on gravity to keep the heavy turrets on the tank, and that works if they're hit by only one shell at a time.
You're not wrong, the NHTSA should be more proactive on this stuff.

But to be fair, drunk drivers kill 28 people a day in this country, or about 10k people per year. 3k people die at signalled intersections every year, or around 8ish per day.

While Tesla shouldn't be beta testing their self driving cars on public roads, it's clear that human behavior and existing road design is still vastly worse.

In the example.jpg image, we can see an example with sort -R "to shuffle the input (random sort)."

But sort -R does not randomise input if one is using NetBSD.

https://man.netbsd.org/sort.1

A POSIX-like sort has no -R option. See, .e.g, Plan9 sort or early versions of FreeBSD or OpenBSD. Early Linux did not have this non-POSIX option either. For example, look at Debian, RedHat, SuSE and other distributions in the mid-2000's. HP-UX, Minix, BusyBox, and so on have no -R option.

A different approach to teaching "basic" UNIX commands would be to focus on the portability and "lowest common denominator" and ignore non-ubiquitous options like -R. Ask the student what sequences of commands, i.e., scripts, will work on all UNIX/UNIX-like OS regardless of the age of system. From that "basic" foundation, one can then learn how the programs have evolved to become larger and more complicated (a side lesson about bloat) and all the OS-specific differences between them.
It's mediocre, but for me, that's acceptable. Having spent significant time in the US, I'll take the mediocrity over the faux-meritocracy.

And everytime I was doing a specific action the screen froze with a round arrow. It took me 5 min to understand that page and app transitions where, well, “animations”, and getting rid of them made for a broken experience.

Now you experience the reality of just how slow and bloated a lot of software is; the animations were just an attempt at hiding that.

IMHO there should be very, very little need for a full "loading screen" with all the ocmputing power we have these days.

It had the same effect on me. Made me want to read the article, and now that I read just a tiny bit about her, I'm even more curious. GP mentionned so nonchalantly that she wrote about having an abotion that I would have never thought that she was born in 1940, had an abortion when it was still illegal and culturally taboo (early 60s). Talking about the plight of humanity, the amounts of humans who will be able to relate to this experience is growing.
In gp's particular case, it is the subclass of hidden variable theories known as pilot wave theories.

All the local ones are dead due to Bell. Except super determinism I guess (both "sides" dont agree on whether it is local or non local)

The nonlocal ones live, but have few real supporters

Types of data are grouped by category, which have their own documents with recommended file encodings (including compression).

For example the document for digital audio[0] has FLAC as a "preferred" format and MP3 as "acceptable".

I didn't see any discussion of selecting formats based on recovery of original data from corrupted storage, and given the context I doubt that was given much consideration. When doing data archival it's better to have replication and checksums, then if any file is corrupt it's recovered from replica rather than trying to do a partial recovery.

I associate Medium with people who crank out one article a day to grow their audience. No one on Earth is interesting or knowledgeable enough to write one self contained thing of value per day. Therefore anything you read on there is someone's daily dump of content rather than something useful. Like trying to read LOTR by stopping by Tolkien's desk each day and reading one post-it note you found there.

These people ruined Quora years before they did the same to Medium.
For a long time (basically forever) China hasn't really invented anything of it's own. China has a large, complex, and well run espionage network responsible for stealing trade secrets from western companies. There's a great book, Disunited Nations, that talks about it in gory detail. Essentially, China will steal anything it can and build it locally. Espionage like this is generally expected (even among allies) but the scale at which China operates this is breathtaking. Majority of the large scale hacks they have done in recent history are targeting organizations with special IP (for example military technology).

So, knowing this I would assume they will simply use this system to get access to patents for the chips they need and begin fabrication themselves. This blow slows them down but doesn't stop them. To stop them, you'd need to stop their well oiled espionage machine.

getting older and went a lot places and knew quite a few people from different backgrounds and countries, one thing is clear, nothing is as sound/optimal/firm/truth as it should be, if you have a slightest insight of airline industry or any industry, you'll know current arrangement is only the get-by solution, majority of people did not care, not smart or believe strange things, borderline delusional, that's the human condition.
We as humans need a new enlightenment movement, if we are lucky, we will go into a new era of understanding human nature or the reality we can construct, including a blockchain centered society.

If you are releasing binaries that are publicly accessible it is possible to get caught.

Statically linked binaries for example have parts of libraries embedded into them. There exists tools that can analyze the binary and try to detect signatures from a shared library in the binary.

In the past there were (and probably still are) companies who provided services to help with finding people who have linked in your code so you could take whatever action you wanted against them. I can't recall a specific company name right now but a little bit of Googling would likely bring up some examples.

Do server side forms and accept use bootstrap for styling until I need anything fancier. I’m tinkering with Blazor and using c# in the browser for a new project though as the front end backend reuse without needing JavaScript is a very attractive proposition.

There’s a few other things I’ve tried over the years but it really depends on the circumstances. You mentioned being proficient with rails generally but I couldn’t tell if you felt you understood it’s server side form capabilities well, so what sort of UI complexity were you stumbling with? Examples would help since you can push server side forms surprisingly far with some clever sometimes non-intuitive tricks.
Fair, I don't like everything about the US but I do wish we had a bit more of their hustle and ambition. And maybe held our politicians to account for the way our institutions are crumbling.

Not all of those are middlemen: some are just constituent services you're paying for (the plant maintenance and immigration fees, for example).

Even the payment processor (which really is a middleman) is likely not a source of suboptimal pricing in airline ticketing: the current alternative is cash transactions, which would probably cost the airlines and airports (and us) significantly more in terms of safely moving the money around. Maybe FedNow will improve that.

You're spot-on about free money encouraging people to overspend. In Canada it's common knowledge that people would borrow against their house to put down payments into other houses, which they would borrow against to put down payments on other houses, etc.
