By the time crypto was running upwards, the majority were already too late and were buying at the top.

No idea why many thought BTC was going to $100K despite me warning them when BTC was at >$60K [0] or thinking this would continue forever as someone said: "This isn't even close to what will be the all time high." Or betting that DOGE will be over $1 by September 2021. [2]

It looks as though all the signs were there for this crypto crash in 2022 to happen. [3] Very unsurprising that it did, after all the warnings.

It just bothers me that this blatant SEO attempt is an article about how SEO ruined PageRank.

Maybe it doesn't bother you, just thought it was worth calling out explicitly.
What do you mean non HiDPI display support being removed from Mac OS? I’ve been using a pair of 1920x1080 monitors with my Mac Mini M1 just fine? Have they somehow broken something in Mac OS 13 / Ventura? (I haven’t clicked the upgrade button yet, I prefer to let others leap boldly first).

You seem to be looking at buying a house as an investment. I'd argue otherwise: your first piece of real estate is a necessity, not an investment - you always need a place to live. So, in financial terms, you're closing a short position, not opening a long position.

Of course there is non-negligible friction if you need to move, so you do want to be mindful of not buying right at the peak, but in general I think you're overstating how much you need to worry about prices: you don't profit when prices go up, since you'd also have to pay more for a new place, and as long as you can afford the payments, your home moves in line with the market and don't need to sell, you also don't need to let falling prices affect your sleep. Your position is market neutral, you are mostly giving up flexibility.

Guess what. Nobody cares about your assumptions that are demonstrably untrue, as have been explained multiple times in this thread.

The Chromium project's Safe Browsing code is open source: https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:com...

Of course given your "threat model" you are probably going to assume what's shipped in Chrome could be different from the open source code, but hey you are free to believe in whatever falsehoods you choose to believe in.
You're talking about MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value). If it's below 1, it means the average investor is carrying a loss, and > 1 means carrying profit. Historically every halving it has spent some time below 1, and we are right on schedule.

The thing about cypress that annoyed me the most was how it wasn't just using async/await syntax, generating more complex tests dynamically is super hard. Just try to write a test that follows links on a site dynamically, I couldn't figure it out.
Exactly my point. People in here are conflating popularity with it being better
Further notes:

a) The method works because placing the ruler on the surface of the mirror guarantees that it is parallel to the mirror. The source and destination of the light ray is your pupil, so the ray is guranteed to be perpendicular to the mirror and the ruler.

b) The plane of your pupils needs to be parallel to the mirror/ruler. This is easy to judge as your eyes will be relaxed and looking straight ahead at your own reflection in the mirror. If your eyes are looking left or right you need to turn your head so you are looking straight ahead. People are generally pretty good at judging "straight ahead", so chances are that you are doing this correctly.

Satisfying the above two constraints means the geometry gives an accurate measurement, probably more accurate than an optometrist can judge by holding a ruler up to your eyes and trying to guesstimate that they have no parallax error.
Is there other data available? It seems like high usage data could be as much a indicator of rubbernecking as it is of the platform “thriving”. Additionally, do you think we can tell this early on if the company is thriving?

@binwiederhier I have heard wonderful things about ntfy.sh; kudos!

Quick question: if my team and I already "subscribe" to a private matrix room to receive alerts from our automated scripts (which auto-send alerts into said private matrix room)...is there a need for also leveraging ntfy.sh into this type of workflow? Again, much love and respect to this project...I'm just trying to learn. Thanks!
Fantastic. I just got laid off from my (non-Meta) job, and now I have to compete with thousands of other software engineers.

I suppose I knew that the cushy absurd-salary-days of software engineering had to come to a close at some point, but I guess I was just hoping it would happening after I retired.
I'm pretty sure the main reason there's a push to move from Docker Desktop now is because earlier this year they started charging larger businesses/teams to use it.

I suspect it's more that taking billionaires down a peg moves copy.
It would, but it would be unwise. A commuter/metro service has quite different needs from a long-distance service (this is one of the lessons of Thameslink, which does work that way, with trains running from Brighton to Peterborough through central London, and attendant compromises). The Crossrail plan is to divert the commuter services through the tunnel and free up more space in the terminals (Liverpool Street and Paddington) for the fast long-distance trains.
But what if you declare it? Like bankruptcy, but in reverse?
I manually do it, then replace parameters where needed
Or better yet, stay away from crypto completely.
If you’re planning on building a PC soon - GamersNexus has reviews of fans with measured dB ratings (some taken in an Anechoic chamber) and compares heatsinks with noise normalized performance. It may be very useful for you.

As a general guide though - SSDs are silent, and be quiet! (bequiet.com) has PSUs, CPU coolers, cases and fans optimized for silence (including coil whine)

Turns out, they were a Monopoly money printing machine.
Given the natural opaqueness of the organization I would likely fundamentally disagree with a great deal more of what the NSA mission is if I had any knowledge of it.

They also basically have zero real congressional oversight.

And just because 90% of what they do is purely defensive doesn't make the 10% any more acceptable (x key score, data mining, hooking into Google, etc.)
I didn’t buy it at £400 once because it had fallen so much from £1,000. I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes up again when people look to alternative sources of income to offset inflation.
it's a great question. At the very least, if they do, they have a chance to avoid some mistakes of the past on the way up, like heavy coal usage, tons of unnecessary plastic, etc. But who knows, right? who knows how it all turns out for them.
What happens to all the companies that FTX gobbled up? Was that just a ploy to try to stabilize the crypto space? Are those companies that were going defunct now going to go defunct again?

There is value in creating designs that are feasible if some technological breakthroughs is made. If we manage to make fusion work, then someone can then capitalise on the existing designs. It's also a great motivator for people to work on those hard problems that could enable many fantastic possibilities. It's also just fun to let your imagination not be constrained by what is possible today, but what might be possible in the future.
Yes, Cypress has many killer features, including:

- The Test Runner lets you retrace your actions with a visual UI and interact with the page as you rewind, with access to Dev Tools the whole time. It also has an excellent tool for targeting elements. (Although you'll eventually lean more on Dev Tools once you're fluent with CSS selectors.)

- There's very little boilerplate for anything. Several useful libraries are packed in and available globally.

- You can easily spy on and interact with fetch and XHR on the page

- You can easily execute Node stuff

- They have a great Dashboard (their only pay feature)
Right, but the point is that when you are in the execution, you are back in the imperative. And with google maps, you are almost always in the execution side. Is why I said that would be a better example for dynamic plans being better than static ones.

I'd go further and say that not just dynamic and static, but interactive versus non-interactive is the showcase there. Declarative/imperative is just not that applicable to that scenario.

And again, I do like the rest of the article and the idea that is getting explored. I just question if that is really a great example for declarative/imperative. You have to squint to make it work, for whichever version you want to support.
> somehow superior to those who don't.

Yes. Accepting responsibility is more preferable to not accepting it and blaming it on other people/things, period.

I wonder if it's some of the same work BetterBird is doing?

https://www.betterbird.eu/
The funny thing is for six months I have been checking FTX for open developer positions. Thinking surely, the best place in crypto must be hiring good devs like me. And there have been no postings at all! And word on the street is their devs actually building the exchange made a middling salary with zero stock. I always found it odd, how could they not be hiring? even during the downturn? And now I know why, it was all a scam.
That calls for thyroid problems, though.
Bartosz's material is great but it has a practical programming focus, so Cheng's books which focus more on teach Category Theory as mathematics, make a good complement.

You’ve not provided any rationale at all for why they should switch their application cores let alone on this specific timetable.

Switching is an expensive business and there has to be a major business benefit for Apple in return.

I am this person. I refinanced from a 20 year at 3.6% to a 30 year even lower. I could have afforded a 15 year rate, but intentionally chose the longer term. The payments are lower and give me more cash now to put in the market and earn significantly more than my mortgage rate.

At the moment, my mortgage is dramatically lower than inflation. I would take almost unlimited credit at this interest rate and not pay it back early; several hundred thousand was a no-brainer.

Back in 2000 in my job I had a 400 Mhz G4, and a dual PIII 500Mhz server (running RedHat 5.2) to work with. Once set up to dual-boot Yellowdog Linux, the G4 literally ran circles around the dual PIII machine particularly for anything network-related (the onboard 1 GigE certainly helped).

A lot of tokens give "voting" rights in the form of governance if its run as a DAO

Some tokens share revenue with token holders. GMX, for instance, distributes all of the nearly $2M daily fees it generates to holders of the GMX token. Goldfinch, which loans to real-world microfinance companies, also gives back its fees to Goldfinch token holders.

Some tokens are necessary for paying for transactions or any on-chain asset (most core blockchain tokens).

Yes, coordination between apps would be the hard part and I see no evidence that it exists. There is a lot of writing in English that does not point to anything canonical from China. It does not make clear exactly what obligations are placed on app developers. I remain skeptical that coordination between applications is happening.

I would love to see any evidence of this. It should be easy if it exists as there would be documentation telling app developers how to use the central database. I would imagine an ecosystem of libraries would exist to make it easier for app developers to satisfy these obligations.
That would effectively mean a law requiring companies to wholesale to anyone at the same price.

That's a rather extreme intervention in a market for no clear benefit. We're really not talking about anything that can be construed as monopolistic behavior.
Stanford Professor of Medicine Jay Bhattacharya: ‘Academic freedom is dead’
Podman works with Docker Compose enough to run stuff I've had to deal with at work and home. I prefer to use the podman-compose script usually, since it does offer some small advantages when using Podman. That said, even with the podman-compose script, I ran into an issue where some syntax somewhere needed to be adjusted for Podman; I can't remember exactly what and I don't have access to the repository to check, but it was a security-related flag, and it was fixed in master at some point, I believe.

Getting Podman to run CUDA/Nvidia workloads was a bit more challenging, but that can also be done.
That's exactly how it works. When you issue IOU, you issue your own currency. When a company issues stock, they are in fact issuing their own currency. All contracts are in fact a currency that can be sold, bought, invested and transacted. World debt is far far larger than actually currency in circulation. How does that happen? Because we make up "currency" all the time.

I just spent half an hour wrestling with Selenium for Python and that API has NOT aged well.

As many others have pointed out, this is only true as a purchaser who has no contractual relationship outside of the sale.

If Apple comes to you and says "paxys, we just love you, we'll sell you everything for 50% off... but you have to sign a contract that you will only dispose of products by firing them into space", and you sign that contract, and they live up to the discount... surprise, you're on the hook for your part of the contact.

Apple has contracts with these resellers. It's called minimum advertised price (MAP) or retail price support. There is a long history of MAP/RPS being litigated in the US, and there are lots of twists and turns and valid opinions to be had.

But "first sale doctrine supersedes any contracts" is NOT correct.
Because "burn it all down and rebuild everything" is by far the easiest orchestration to create from a declarative config. And is almost certainly not what any technician is going to want to happen to their production system.

> because he gets what he wants

no politician gets what she/he wants. They can only go upwind. The structural forces - like strategic interests - are forcing the decisions on them. They can move one inch left or right, but that's about it. It doesn't matter if this is a democracy or regime. You can observe it now, when Biden is continuing Trump's policies like trade tariffs on China.

No one wants a war, but if the stability of the system depends on it you are forced to act. I think this war is similar to Opium Wars. Without the trade British Empire would have serious problems.

The world is decarbonising and more than half of RF income comes from natural resources. Putin needed a better position to secure the future of Russian Federation. He tried to use the argument of force in a 3 day war, but the gamble didn't work.
I've been using Kagi on and off for the last few months. I often forget about it since I can't set it as my default browser in Safari.

But in general, especially when looking for specific phrases or trying to find discussions related to a topic, it's working extremely well. Whenever I used it, I was happy with it, and the search result quality was better than in Google.

It's good to note though that iirc Kagi does actually use commercial search services by Google/Microsoft behind the scenes, in addition to their own custom components.
Then they copied React and went with hooks and use this and use that and all that nonsense. One might argue they also copied angular 1 initially so they have no original ideas.
Why does anyone trust Binance either? They’re notoriously shady about where they operate and what assets they actually hold, to the point that they’re officially not headquartered anywhere.

If you have $100k at Binance, is there any reason to believe you could withdraw it tomorrow? Any contract you may have with Binance is made with a local shell company that could just as well be a hot dog stand. Any money you’ve sent them is effectively nowhere.

FTX was supposed to be above the board and they collapsed in a day. A few months ago FTX was the white knight buying out distressed crypto companies. Why would Binance do any better?
There is a big disconnect between Doctorow going on about his middle class Phd parents and the plight of 'the workers'. Phds are around 1% of the population and their earnings typically put them in the top 20%. IMO it seems more likely that the interests of this class, and others similar -- the lawyers, doctors, engineers -- will align more with the elite than the serfs, and until that changes the possibility of true structural change in the US feels remote.
> This turns out to be quite difficult, especially if you're using bitcode as a compiler IL. You have to know what the right "intermediate" level is; if assumptions change too much under you then it's still too specific. And it means you can't use things like inline assembly.

Potentially dumb question here; I am no expert on crypto or finance.

Isn't the collapse of FTX in some ways evidence in favor of decentralized currency rather than against it? As evidenced by 2008, firms gambling with other people's money doesn't seem to be specific to DeFi.

If coin exchanges had some legal obligation to just be wallet and marketplace services instead of investment engines, could that help prevent this sort of fiasco (and the 2008 one) happening in the future? On the other hand, perhaps this solution could be equally applicable to traditional banks.
I hope not. Rosetta 2, as cool as it is, is a crutch to allow Apple to transition away from x86. If it keeps beeing needing it's a massive failure for Apple and the ecosystem.
