Inflation is a tool so not being able to use it, yes, would make things more difficult. It's a double-edged sword though as inflation can get out of hand. BTC's scarcity ensures no one can print it out of existence.

I am also convinced that The Economy is a huge dumb emotional beast that no one fully understands. If that weren't the case, we wouldn't boom/bust constantly because we could predict accurately.

Selenium, Playwright, and Puppeteer all make use of Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) to access the browser, even Firefox. CDP is the current de facto standard to remotely access the browser. It actually starts an HTTP server in the browser that you send requests to. The W3C is working on actual standard for this space that will likely be more mature and durable.

My learning from playing CDP and the test automation applications mentioned is that this is way harder (and slower) than test automation should be and it’s a huge pain in the ass for authoring tests. The experience is so bad that it only seems to appeal to professional testers whose jobs depend upon it.

To solve for that I wrote my own test automation solution that does not require remote access to the browser. In my personal application where I use this form of testing I am able to execute about 30 user events per second in the browser. That performance speed is completely dependent upon other performance conditions of your application, hardware, and transmission handling. The test cases are simple data structures defined as TypeScript interfaces in a Node application communicating to the browser over WebSockets. The events are executed by creating a new Event object in the browser and executed with the event’s dispatchEvent property.

When your automation gets really fast (less than 30 seconds for a major test suite) everybody will make use of it including the developers, product owners, and even the business leaders. It becomes a faster way to setup and access various features of a browser application than doing it manually.
“Oui mais vous avez des tickets resto” — Explanation: French people seem always very happy with low salaries as long as they have social benefits such as 4,60€ ticket for restaurant at lunch. And free healthcare, which they pay 800€ per month (for a 65k€ salary).

They really need some economy lessons. If I were a true capitalist, I’d teach them socialism for free.

Why treat it like cash when it's not cash, but a digital service pushed by banks? There will always be scum that abuse a system, but the way it is now the odds are stacked against honest people.
>Beyond the sheer value we can deliver to humanity by accelerating and shaping the development of this technology

This email had me somewhat upset until I remembered that Meta is floundering and failing badly. It seems self-evident to Zuckerberg that broadly-adopted AR/VR would be an automatic positive for humanity. I can't imagine a world in which AR/VR is a positive. I don't see any reason for VR/AR to be seen a positive development.
This is also usually the twist of the what makes a 10x engineer articles I've seen: "hey we don't actually need this, ticket closed" -- but all day.
Discord for Tech-pocalypse 2022 (Meta, Twitter, etc.)
This morning after being hit by Meta's layoff, I created a discord server for those affected, and those who might want to support them.

It's quickly blown up to 500ish people, and so I'm looking at generalizing it to Tech-pocalypse 2022.

Feel free to join, get involved and help the industry move through this period.

(Note the server is < 12 hrs old at this stage, so it's gonna take some love, if you want to help reach out to @mtp.
Also smartphones and smart TVs.

While this sounds true, I think it actually needs motivation.

As far as I can tell, this type of analysis typically bases itself on only a few examples.
It's quite trivial to have both installed and you can easily switch between Colima and Docker, I think it's worth testing it out.

Latest and greatest we publish on https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/rhcontainerbot/podma...

Will check if we need to change the docs.

But your recommendation remains. Better to use the latest release as indicated on the GitHub releases of podman. These have seen more tests and integration use/tests

Alternatively you can run `podman machine` which sets up a VM with the stable version.
Oh, I remembered a second notable feature.

Windows 11 supports 6GHz wifi networks.

And by that I mean: there is an old intel driver for windows 10 that supported them too. But that feature got removed in later versions, and the official answer is to change OS if you want it.
Because despite having insane amount of energy in Uranium, you can't tap into it.

Uranium melts at 1000 degrees centigrate, so thats your rough upper limit for how much your reactor can heat hydrogen. If your Uranium melts, it will be leaving the rocket with the hydrogen and spreading radiation everywhere. Basically like Orion but worse.

A normal chemical rocket reaches higher temperatures.

A nuclear bomb will heat anything to millions of degrees. Much more efficient, and any exhaust is moving so fast it will escape the solar system without bothering anyone, provided its pointed the right way.
What makes you assume non-techies aren't feeling like the quality of results is lower? Plenty of people moving their search needs to reddit, tiktok, even pinterest seems to indicate that it _does_ affect them - they just don't articulate it as "the google algorithm yada yada"
a average fullsize car has approximately a 7 square meter roof. assume we get 100% of that.

times solar gets maybe 200 watts per square meter = 1.4kw.

times 6 hours of full solar (if you are lucky) = 8.4kwh.

divided tesla model 3 gets 2.4 kwh per mile (per below) ~ 4 miles range?
> I think the most important job for a browser is to stay in the background and let the user focus on the website.

Actually, this is my favorite part about Arc. Most of the time when using Arc I'm working in fullscreen mode with 100% of the UI hidden. There is literally zero on my screen except the page itself. If I mouseover to the left (or hit cmd-S) I can see the sidebar/addressbar etc.

It's absolutely wonderful and really puts the focus on the content. I find it much better than how Chrome handles fullscreen.
RFC2378: The CCSO Nameserver
Thanks for the clarification, specifically the examples. I agree with the spirit of your conclusion, but it's far outside my expertise (psychology) and experience (haven't used FB since about 2012).

"They" is unnecessarily vague I guess. It's not fair to write off the entire population of Facebook staff... There are surely a substantial chunk of employees who were entirely unaware of these tactics.

It's easy to claim an organization is evil. Less so for individuals, and with good reason. There's something to be said for remembering to humanize people, even those most "undeserving."
Like what? Zelle has exactly the same consumer protections as ACH, as far as I know. It's exactly the same consumer protection law in each case.

> Events are the bane of automation existence.

They do make some tasks tricky to handle, like tracking state, or avoiding race conditions, but in reality events are a good fit for interacting with browser DOM events, representing browser activity, and being able to react to it.

Consider the complexity of an average modern web site, that loads dozens of scripts, uses a frontend framework, is highly dynamic and interactive (likely a SPA), contains multiple frames, etc. All of this happens concurrently, and the only abstraction that makes sense to represent it is an event-based system. You can't achieve the same level of responsiveness using a traditional request/response protocol.

This is why modern browser automation protocols are event-based, and built on top of WebSocket. Selenium is pushing for WebDriver BiDi, while the browser standard is the Chrome DevTools Protocol.
Oh, based on your other comment, I finally understood what you meant initially.

You were saying that the final array doesn't have many indices i,j such that a[i] = sorted_a[j] and a[j] = sorted_a[i].

My initial comment was not referring to the final order of the array, but the operations made to reach that order (one or multiple swaps). Another example could have been saying that we could have named the "sort" method "compare" because it uses comparisons in its algorithm (which was a parallel to your initial comment that it's called "swap" because the reverse operation uses swaps to achieve this).
It segments a certain amount of ram to “swap” to which means compress and store. Normal blue sky ram operations are not compressed on macOS
> bitcoin has exorbitant transaction fees,

Basic transaction cost at this time is est $0.05, or 54 cents for high priority.

> slow transaction times

If by slow you mean ~10 minutes, it turns out this is a strength (Solana is not scalable; Ethereum will also likely grow in an unbounded fashion making individual node-running infeasible); and layer 2 solutions such as Lightning Network enable sub-second Bitcoin transactions.
> […] "the compiler has insufficient information to achieve ideal optimization because some things can only be known at runtime."

This is where the profile guided optimisation comes in – for statically compiled languages, with a caveat being not always straightforward to come up with a set of inputs that will trigger an execution of all possible code paths. One solution is to provide the coverage specifically for the performance critical code paths and let the rest just be.
Why did visa and the banks question you? What were you really trying to do?
Sbf could have printed money if he didn’t get so greedy.

Maybe ftx would have been a top 10 exchange, instead of the third largest.

Maybe alameda would have been a standard successful prop shop (though they were really struggling as trading got more competitive).

He would have just been worth a few billion.

But here we are now.

I have a lot of friends on the inside and nobody knew at all. These friends knowingly kept money there confident the rumors weren’t true. I don’t know how much all of alameda knew but I don’t think the rank and-file knew the full story.

And how do you even lose 8bn? Did alameda become a shop making leveraged long crypto bets? Using a shitcoin as collateral? I know they’re smarter than that, so what happened????
Stablecoins simplify cryptotrading as there is no involvement of cash anymore.

> "Alternatives exists" sounds a lot like this fallacy

The fact that an argument is superficially similar to an informal fallacy doesn't make the argument inherently fallacious. You can easily construct a variation of the same conversation which is structurally identical but is obviously not fallacious—

Critic: "I want a banana, but I don't like the texture."
Respondent: "If you don't like them, don't eat them."

What the respondent said is only a fallacy if the purpose was to counter the criticism. But the criticism wasn't rejected. What was rejected was the unstated but implied assertion that the critic was entitled to a banana which satisfies them.

Now let's turn that into an "alternatives exist" argument and replay—

Critic: "I demand a banana that I do like."
Respondent: "I understand your desire for a banana which suits you. However nobody is obligated to supply you with such a banana. Thankfully, alternatives do exist, such as the nectarine."

That's not a fallacy. And it's not a fallacy to say that Apple is not obligated to make an iPhone which satisfies you. Especially because it's a statement of fact.

If you don't like that you can't buy an Apple branded dumbphone, and you have failed to convince Apple to make it for you, perhaps try lobbying your government? They could pass a law which requires smartphone makers to also sell dumbphones.
Is that not how Go is scored?
You might be interested to know that rustc does have some limited ability to infer return types[1], but there are so many edge cases that the feature as it exists today isn't perfect (and won't let you produce a binary). I believe that 1) type alias = impl Trait; will make prototyping easier, and 2) we should allow -> _ in return types in private functions so that they become an allowed part of the language but critically can't become a semver hazard in crates' APIs.

Why go for a suspension? If you want to make sure nobody takes your Twitter handle, then make one last post to point people somewhere else, pin that post, and then stop using it. Maybe also change your password to something long, and then store it somewhere that you can't access immediately.

There's a fair amount of history recorded in the set of all tweets, and it would be sad to lose that, which is what can happen if you delete your account, or it's suspended.
damn, that is so sad - it's objectively an amazing soundtrack. It's really sad that this whole experience has damaged his perception of his incredible work so badly :(

DE Shaw takes directional risk. They have a lot of conventional strategies iirc (distressed debt, credit, etc.). Jane Street does a lot of ETF AP and other strategies that optimize for technology (afaik).
60% of fraud is “friendly fraud” where you send your money to your associate (or make online card payment), call bank, accuse fraud and double your money.

Alternative demand money back from a completely fine product and delivery.

With too much consumer protection friendly fraud goes up easily. People will scam the system other way around.
> To me it’s more of an argument towards distributing software in intermediate form (like Apple Bitcode) and compiling on install, tailoring for the current processor.

Or distribute it in source form and make compilation part of the install process. Aka, the Gentoo model.
it correlated with the stock market because the local courts allowed public companies to let the public decide whether or not they could buy into crypto currencies and put it on their balance sheet.
The link is that Ad Tracking Transparency (ATT) happened relatively close to FB's numbers going south, and its a great scapegoat.

https://daringfireball.net/2022/08/ft_effects_of_app_trackin...

> What I think makes ATT a tempting scapegoat is that it creates a great story. Apple enacted a change in the name of privacy and that change has adversely affected both Facebook and small businesses that relied on Facebook. That’s a dramatic, captivating storyline, with two rivals, both corporate behemoths, on opposing sides.

(The footnote on this blog is a great explanation as to why FB's adTech was considered so bananas and why its no longer as much.)
Fantastic! Can it be made available for iPad?
What exactly is the point of this mental gymnastics? For all this talk, how much of your crypto have you actually used as currency to buy things with? 50%? 20%? The typical Bitcoin holder spends 0%. The haters aren't the barrier to your libertarian wonderland--it's the people who actually buy and HODL.
I mean, the fact that somebody bought it means it's /in theory/ of some value, but draping it in the guise of "Solving a problem in an industry you are familiar with"[0] when it's all clearly meaningless cruft is an uncomfortable thing to view.

I equate this stuff to writing a script that automatically upkeeps a social media account so you can leverage it to get free meals[1]. not wrong, neccesarily, but certainly not something you should be proud of or frame outside of "check out this cool low-effort money-making trick".

The internet has become rife with horrible redesigns that companies are holding back for years on end on forcing all of their users to move to, because on some level they must finally realize that the redesigns are regressions. There aren't even any big fashionable trends right now (like "flat") that can be used to dress up the redesigns as a "modernization" or an "update," because the new versions don't look any newer.

It's a good sign. Maybe unnecessary redesigns that remove functionality and lower information density are reaching a Perl 6 moment. Instead of force migration and destroying your product, the new designs have to compete with the old ones. If it's upsetting that this means that you're maintaining two websites at once, then ditch the new design entirely and just fix the old design (that made you successful.)

If you doubt bitcoin's future, there is a way to put your money where you mouth is without having to trust anyone a mutual fund wouldn't.
> E.g. if you borrow 1 BTC from someone and then sell it for dollars

Why does that guy trust you to return the BTC later?

You don't need an exchange per se. But both people need to trust each other. In the stock market, cleaning houses serve as the central role of trust (and brokerages pass your money/stock to these cleaning houses).

-----

It goes like this: if you don't return the stock, the clearinghouse will return the stock. If the other guy doesn't return the money, the clearinghouse makes it whole again.

Since the clearinghouse is well trusted, everyone is happy with the trust issue. Otherwise, you have no reason to trust random people on the internet with your $15,000+ bets.

I can't comment on Facebook's vision for VR, but speaking more broadly...

During the pandemic, VRChat let me reconnect with friends that I hadn't seen in person for 1-2 years. Combined with body tracking modules (so you can walk around fluidly), the experience can be extremely immersive, like you're in the same room with someone.

When I upgraded to a Valve Index and gave my older headset to my roommate, he later mentioned that VRChat and the social experiences he had on there saved him from a deep depression brought on by isolation during the pandemic.

I'd consider that an extremely positive experience.

Ah, if only that were true! Your claim smelled funny, so I looked it up:

https://paxos.com/2022/04/07/busd-issued-by-paxos-on-ethereu...

Tl;Dr: Paxos issues something called BUSD on Ethereum, which is regulated. Binance issues something that's kinda sorta related but not really, that's fully unregulated, only usable in their private chain, ALSO called BUSD, that is just monopoly money. They happen to have the same name, but hey, you fell for it!

Related quote from the link:

"Paxos issues two US dollar-backed stablecoins – Pax Dollar (USDP) and Binance USD (BUSD) – that are overseen by the NYDFS. These two tokens are very similar in design and reserve operations because they are regulated. Paxos and NYDFS agreed to the terms of the token in advance of issuing – this includes the stipulation that USDP and BUSD only be issued by Paxos on the ethereum blockchain at this time.

Our marketing partner for BUSD – Binance – issues a token on its BNB smart chain called Binance-Peg BUSD ... Note that Binance-Peg BUSD is strictly a Binance product; it is not issued by Paxos nor regulated by the NYDFS."
