That's nonsense. Git is the best version control history of all time. It has some regrettable UX difficulties, but as far as the system itself, there is no better decentralized development tool.

There's a reason git came into existence for linux kernel development. The linux kernel is a project so massive and so decentralized that it needed a fitting tool to be able to tame the chaos. And git did that perfectly.

Out of curiosity though, what to you is a better source control system?

It happens to me all the time with non-Apple products. Always the same price, down to the penny. Pricing agreements between the manufacturer and their resellers seem to be pretty common.

If we're suddenly going to decide that's illegal, it will have a huge impact on the market.
Then shouldn't this greater-than-internet technological evolution happen under some public domain, licensing of sorts, instead of in a proprietary silo?

Atleast the web had RFCs, and came from a "research" institution. Here there's nothing but a "cloud", and perhaps some day they'll let you pay 8$ for a blue checkmark to commit code.
Yes, with BGP and anycast.

What you can't do with the above is more fine grain load balancing. If your LAX node is getting overloaded, you can use a combination of geo and DNS to start splitting some amount of traffic away.

This is actually shifting, from what I've heard; if you're a small physical product seller and want to get your stuff on retailer shelves, you essentially pay Best Buy a shelf space & inventory fee instead of selling your product to them. This means Best Buy can take a chance putting garbage (or not) products on their shelves without having to take a loss (in the form of a discount) on any unsold inventory.
I remember watching an interview from a famous movie director who had a similar thought. Again paraphrasing but:

He responded, "Movies are my only hobby. I have nothing else."
I really like Erlang as a language and OTP as an idea, but have never used it professionally. I'd assume that there exists a relatively close-knit community of practitioners in the world, similar to other "niche" languages like Clojure, so I would start there. It could be a mailing list, a website, a discord server...but I'm sure its out there.
He was 19 there right? Thankfully I've seen people who were writing keyloggers at that age be very decent, good people, so that article isn't an indictment of who he is now - plenty of things to look at more recent than that.

Meaning that his intention is to substantially reduce the reach of tweets for anyone not subscribing to Blue for $8 a month.

Yes, you can still tweet freely, but it’ll effectively be a shadow ban.

He even repeated it in the Spaces chat hosted by Robin Wheeler earlier today, using the analogy of non-Blue Twitter users’ tweets being like emails going to your spam folder.
Sure, but how are those stalling tactics and threat-laden scare letters “effective legal representation” and not just bullying the little guy?
This isn’t true at all.

Numerous sellers reduce prices for apple devices. It’s gotten so consumer friendly that I almost never go to the Apple Store anymore.

Why not? Apple isn't under any obligation to sell to anyone at a wholesale price, and can apply conditions via a contract when they do so.

To me, regardless of what you call it, it comes down to two things: 1. finding something you enjoy/willingly put great effort into, 2. looking back on your life at the end and not regretting the time spent.

I can't say I know I've found mine but I have from a young age enjoyed understanding and making machinery, now extended to software. I try to improve and apply my ability at a company that doesn't suck and share anything useful I've learned. I still greatly enjoy learning and applying new knowledge in this area.

Conversely every now and then, I wonder if I wouldn't have more appreciated following an artistic path, say off the top of my head like Aphex Twin (without the fame & success). Probably some of both makes sense. The most important thing is probably not to get caught up not doing anything. You rarely know it's "the thing" while you're doing it, only in retrospect might you realize it was.

Caveat: enjoying (1) is optional if (2) is significant enough and you can endure. :-)
Buying some puts also works.
Smart people can also change the world by working on climate change, improving healthcare costs, addressing the energy crisis, coming up with new ways to mass manufacturer consumer goods at reasonable prices without shipping things halfway around the world and back, help an increasingly aging population do basic stuff.... the metaverse (maybe crypto?) were just natural evolutions of existing business models, but these weren't the world changing things people need, so capitalism (the brutal nature is why it works) didn't reward it.

If these smart people spend their brain energy to address these needs, which the world actually needs, they'll find success again, and the world will be changed in the way it needs to be... and frankly that's the way capitalism is supposed to work. Changing the world is only rewarded when people want it.

> You are required to maximize stockholder value

This is legal fiction that has no bearing in the kinds of subjects that it often gets brought up in. Simply put, those responsible for a company (e.g. officers of a corporation) have a fiduciary duty towards its owners (e.g. the shareholders), and it means that the owners would have legal recourse against the officers if they were provably pissing money away on things that don't benefit the company at all.

That latter part is a high bar and critically does not mean that they are, for example, legally required to prioritize quarterly profits over the long-term success of the company or to pay employees as little as possible, as is often mentioned. It just means that officers must take action that furthers the interests of the company in the way that they prudently and reasonably see fit.
So the multiple houses? The land in Hawaii where he tried to just take from the current owners? All that was part of the company? Pretending like he just owns the company and hasn’t taken compensation anywhere cause he has a 1 dollar a year salary is a a child like understanding of how billionaires leverage their wealth

This is a popular deflection of responsibility that is, in fact, entirely false.

You are required to abide by shareholder decisions at official meetings, and generally not act against shareholder interests, but there is absolutely no law stating that you must act to maximize shareholder value. (And it's a damn good thing that's the case; things are bad enough as it is.)

I suggest, at the very least, "Psychology of Finance" by Lars Tvede and "History of Financial Speculation" by kindleberger if you want to continue your journey in investing.

I also suggest you reading Financial Times and especially its comment section which is often more insightfull than articles themself... WSJ optional, but its comments section is trash (politicaly and economically very biased). > google bypass firewall.

I also suggest you to disconnect completelly from "assets" built and backed by hashed numbers (once you read "History of Financial Speculation", it will become clear).
Agreed. I’m sad to see all the negative comments about Eternal here, because in my view it’s one of the best gaming experiences of the last few years.
That’s not correct, the article goes into details why.
No, not at all like the stock market, which has real mechanisms for getting real cash paid by real consumers in real life for real products into the hands of stockholders.

Do people speculate on it more than they probably should? Sure. But at the heart of the stock market is a system of "I just sold a physical thing for $1000, and since you own the stock you get $0.00001 of that". At the heart of crypto is "my computer did some math, so... money".
>And without A/B testing, every product you use would be worse.

Worse for whom? I feel like a lot of the A/B testing results in more revenue, a more addictive app, and less user satisfaction, because they're not testing for anything beneficial to the user, because at least with FB, you're not the customer, their advertisers are the customer.

…but it stores the notes in HTML. Which is IMHO more future-proof than Markdown.

No—Markdown is just plaintext, which by definition is the most future-proof format that exists.

HTML is a structured markup language that has multiple versions and tags that come and go. And it’s dependent on a user agent (such as a browser or voice assistant) to render it into something a human can view or listen to.

And while Markdown can be rendered, it’s not required to be human readable.

> How did it happen?

i was walking down the road doing something completely unrelated, not thinking about anything in particular, and it hit me.

If it doesn't happen on its own, it seems unlikely to me to ever happen. It's like falling in love: if you look for it, if you try to force it, it's not going to work.

> If you feel comfortable, you can share your purpose finding journey.

My purpose is not to change the world, but to support those who do. i've spent approximately a quarter of my life supporting/contributing to Richard Hipp's projects (mainly the Fossil SCM and, more recently, sqlite), and have found that niche to fit my purpose perfectly. It was, however, only about a year ago that i realized that that was my purpose.

> And what happened next?

> You used Gini as a way to suggest the USA isn't so bad

No, I'm pointing out that at lot was being made of a small difference in a ratio that's really sensitive to marginal differences. I'm noting a marginal difference that makes the US look more different than other OCED nations than it is in fact and more like autocratic developing nations than it is in fact.

I'm also pointing out that it isn't a good measure at all. It's as coarse as GDP and more misleading.
Yes, it looks like 12% of their assets are in commercial paper.

I'm not claiming to be an omniscient source of truth, but USDT is supposed to be backed 1:1, is audited regularly, and has survived extreme volatility events and bank runs for the better part of a decade.

Maybe it will collapse some day. I personally have more trust in USDC and Circle, so I use that if I need a stablecoin.

They licensed Transitive's retargettable binary translator, and renamed it Rosetta; very Apple.

It's easy to say that, but I've had friends and colleagues not want to use Thunderbird because of it's UI. Honestly I think this would be enough to make them take a second look.

The fact that you are indifferent (as am I) is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.. They've made it more attractive to new users and also haven't alienated their existing user base.
I was thinking the same thing, but his point is that with Google Maps you simply declare your end goal. It figures out how you should get there based on current conditions.

If money were no object, I'd love to be a novelist. I'd love nothing more than for books to be my main focus in life. But money is an object, and it seems tremendously hard to acquire as a writer. To make a decent living, you're basically banking on becoming one of a few dozen celebrity writers. Even then, you'd expect to make be making pennies compared to the elites in almost any other field (music, business, sports, etc). The only serious money to be made is franchising your IP into a more-monetizable medium, like movies.

I know art isn't supposed to be about making money, but being a full-time novelist seems too precarious for all but the most foolhardy among us.

I’m actually not all that surprised by this. Strangers are easy to talk to, most likely you’ll never see them again and they’ll forget you 5 minutes after you leave the room. You can be anyone with them. Why not be your truest self?
Friends and family are more complicated, there are layers of expectations and history that put you in a box in their eyes and it can be hard to break out of that box even if it no longer fits. You need to see them again in the future and most people avoid conflict with the people they care about further limiting your ability to be fully honest.

This would be a major bonus, because it could e.g. enable producers like me to open up our music projects from earlier times, and still have the old plugins work.

aphex twin is probably my all time favorite artist but i don't really care for the usual suspects that people tend to lump together with him (autechre, venetian snares). the reason is that he is an artist with total mastery of rhythm and electronic music production, and he PLAYS with it and has FUN.

the only other artist i've heard that has a similar playful mastery is J-Lin, and it's no surprise that richard is a fan
