Yes, good times! I have the experience of copying games on multiple floppies; though it might be seen as an inconvenience tech-wise, it had other things which was fun. Travelling to a friend's place, yapping while it was getting copied. Cutting the archive into pieces and joining them back was a small personal learning exercise, and more. Thanks for the story!

The S&P 500 is obviously superior even though BTC did well pre-2013. BTC is more like a commodity than an equity, so the long-term returns are expected to be worse compared to index funds.

The NFTs of 1997: "etoy shares compel people to think about the elusive and amorphous nature of Internet art. One of the many controversies about Net art is that there is no original copy; an artist can’t exactly “sell” a home page to a collector. The “shares” play with the idea of ownership and the Net, as well as spoof absurdly overvalued Net stock" ;)

That's certainly true and describes my circumstances at the time. But it's also good to note that it is great for C/C++ dependencies as well, our GIS applications require PROJ, and our machine learning projects various Nvidia cuda things.

Also, just last week I needed new smbd features, and the only way to deploy a recent smbd version whilst retaining sanity seems on Ubuntu seems to be to just use docker. Normally there's a PPA but there wasn't in this case for some reason.
Agreed, giving it at least stable identifiers to play with makes a huge difference. With some front end generators, that may not be trivial, though I'd think Selenium being a thing (POM does rely heavily on stable unique identifiers, since "nth element past m" xpath queries are way more fragile) has probably made it more of a standard ask.

Dynamically-created UIs are usually the hardest thing to deal with--if they get a different ID every time, record-replay is out the door, and even Selenium is a lot harder.

But personally, with a lot of automation architecture experience, I think you're exaggerating a little re: doesn't work 2 minutes later half the time. But it also depends on whether your app is driving some invisible external resource that makes the timing highly variable, etc. Even then you can usually "harden" the recording by putting in worst-case delays. It's just that then your test takes so long to run you can't CI it either.

It's really situational. What I'm arguing against more than anything is the knee-jerk reaction that it's never appropriate. It's just never enough usually. The fact that we tend to skip over the option entirely in testing is probably a blind spot and a mistake. Devs dabbling in testing as a side task definitely shouldn't ignore the option.

Definitely true normally but we’re in this weird world where a ton of people got to try a previously unavailable or unemphasized option. Full-time remote work used to be a bit unusual but a couple of years was enough for a lot of people to get used to the idea and now it feels like a cut to go back, even if they were used to being in the office in February 2020.
This is the sales pitch for Bitcoin, and it does have some merits if you consider the "digital gold" argument. However, as it turns out, too many people got on the boat and started thinking that bitcoin would make them "rich". They flooded the market and Bitcoin transformed into a completely speculative asset instead.
What if purpose isn't something you find, like coins on the sidewalk, but something you choose?

There may be many things you like or think have some value or that more of it should exist in the world. But maybe expecting one of those things to grab you in a cone of ethereal light is expecting too much. Perhaps the point is that you can choose and you should.

Mining will never really be unprofitable, because the size of the pool will just regulate itself as needed. As the price falls, people running more efficient mining setups (read: cheaper electricity) will get a larger % of profits as others drop out.

For those who may be new to this, what's happening now is the final act of the Bitcoin Cycle.

The Cycle starts with nobody giving Bitcoin a second thought. It's deader than a doornail. Yesterday's news. That is, if anybody even remembers it. Winter.

Spring comes in the form of inexplicably rising exchange rate. Few are paying attention because... Bitcoin is dead. There have been rallies in the past, all failed. Too many failed rallies to even count. So many hopes dashed. So many families broken. So many lives warped beyond recognition.

Summer arrives with an out-of-the blue shot at making a new all time high against the dollar. Will it or won't it? The excitement drives the materialization of a new generation of promoters. Those who have "done the math" and now believe in Bitcoin. People who will tell you to mortgage your house, sell your car, and borrow against your retirement because it's "going up forever."

The popular press starts to smell the sweet scent of clicks and gets busy.

In late summer, problems with "custodians" begin. First with a trickle of instability at an obvious scam. Maybe an exchange. Maybe a yield farm. Maybe an admitted Ponzi.

Before long two, three, four of these custodians are tits up in a pool of blood. "Victims" can't believe their misfortune! They were lied to!

Influencer after influencer comes out of the woodwork to assure followers that capitulation has happened. The exchange rate has stabilized around a nice round number $10. $1000. $10000. $20000. Further declines are not in the cards. Fortune favors the bold!

This goes on for some time, each episode tearing the exchange rate to a lower level. It's Fall.

Eventually, the influencers move on to other audiences. Nobody ever admits what a complete fool they have been. They just... disappear.

Winter comes and the only ones left are the ones who warned the Johnny-come-latelies that this is blood sport, that they are ill-suited for the risks their taking on, and for the love of God, get your damned money off of exchanges.

> Squash commit will squash everything done into a single commit, so reverting it is easier.

No, it's just as easy, while needlessly throwing away other useful information.

> If you did not squash, you need to cherry-pick all commits from the merge.

...or use a single `git rebase` invocation.

> If the feature branch was not rebased

Linear workflows with merge commits usually require feature branches to be rebased on merge (just like squashes, just without the actual squashing), so that's not a problem at all.
Bitcoin only solves the problem of manipulation of the underlying money supply. It does not solve the problem of fraud and scams. Maybe one day we can also solve that problem with exchanges existing only as smart contracts, but with exchanges that are not completely transparent you always run into the risk of getting defrauded because you don't really know what's going on under the hood.
Make your window less wide. That fixed it for me! Seems like some broken CSS media queries.
And swapping BTC for USDT still a taxable event. Just as if I bartered my Apple stock for some Google stock of yours: for both of us, there's a capital gain or loss, and it's a taxable event. You don't have to go through actual cash money for it to be a taxable event.

Isn't FB marketplace just another search engine? It seems unlikely that the algorithm would be able to purely guess what you currently (actually) need.

I'm assuming the government will just bail out everyone who loses money through crypto with my tax dollars. It'll be fine, nothing to worry about.
CDOs weren't the problem. You see, mixing together dog-shit __ONCE__ isn't that big of a deal.

CDO-squared (CDOs of CDOs) were a problem. If you took those 60 dog-shit loans, mixed them together, and created 10 high quality loans out of them, problems began to occur.

Even then, it wasn't the CDO-squared that collapsed the whole thing. It was the CDS: the "insurance" (so to speak) on the CDO-squared that made things go haywire.
> No—Markdown is just plaintext, which by definition is the most future-proof format that exists.

HTML is human-readable as well. I'm not sure if it's really a dealbreaker if you have to read <em>text</em> instead of em.

Markdown's big problem is standardization. It does have a standard, but it doesn't seem widely implemented, and it's notably poor - not even basic features such as tables are standardized. That's kind of a big deal for being future-proof. Worse, Markdown documents do not even record the Markdown flavor they are using.

You might say that it doesn't matter as it's still sort of readable even if you can't understand exact formatting detail. But again, so is HTML.

In my view, the future-proofness which actually matters is the tool support - and you have a much higher chance that in 30 years tools will correctly support HTML than Markdown.
You folks are arguing past each other. As it turns out, the price of something is determined by two factors: Supply and Demand. Imbalances in supply and demand cause changes in price.
The central MBS problem seemed to be ratings-based-regulation + free-market-unregulated-ratings-agencies.

No, contracts are not currencies. The whole point of distinguishing between currencies and other securities/debt is that a currency has the property of being a widely used medium of exchange.

Its also worth noting: Its easy to get scared by a number like "11,000", but just pulling estimates out of my ass; engineering likely represented less than 20%, and the bias toward those let go in engineering is likely junior. Not asserting no one senior was let go; just proportionality.

Here's what I'd add: Its extremely difficult to hire really talented senior engineers. Its easy to look at layoffs as "great, we should be able to find senior talent now"; but the opposite may actually be true. Layoffs, at least in otherwise "fine" companies, will predominately not impact senior engineers, and they'll also be less likely to leave. Moreover, the industry is effectively building a wall to breach into seniority; the pathway from junior to senior is harder and harder, even going back a year or two, and many of these junior/normal devs were massively compensated at these roles.

My heart goes out to the junior devs right now; there really are two industries and job markets.
I'm really excited about this. I'll never forget about 7 years ago when I swapped my HDD out for an SSD. Loading into World of Warcraft was a dream and flying into Stormwind other players loaded in seamlessly as opposed to slowing popping up.

Also, a lot of this analysis only makes sense to children of the elite (ie, the child of a successful author).

There's a natural regression to the mean. Kids of poor parents will be better off than their parents. Kids of rich parents will be worse off than their parents.

That’s why I hate when people in these discussions refer to needing/providing “liquidity”. It feels like such a weasel word. Unless you know enough to conclude it’s really a cash flow mismatch, then don’t mince words or overcomplicate it.

Money. They need some g/d m/fing money. Maybe they need it as arms-length loans on legitimately illiquid capital. Maybe they need underpriced loans for the risk of the business. Maybe they just need a giant dump of free cash.

But it’s money they need. To weasel it away as “liquidity” is to assume something you probably have no way of knowing until later.

It was particularly dubious in the case of FTX, whose assets were in popular cryptocurrencies, which are traded every millisecond. You can absolutely find a buyer instantly! At about the same price it traded for five minutes ago! Just not at the price you need it to be.

“No, no, the fair market price is actually much higher, it’s just that there’s only one guy who would actually buy it all right now!” No. Stop. We already have a word for an asset that exactly one person wants to pay a positive price for: worthless (because they only have to outbid everyone else).

Sorry, /rant
Correct until the last I think. Every exchange is looking international because they know what you’re saying too. If Binance goes, there’s a mix of enough international toeholds from regulated exchanges and enough defi to keep the markets live.

No- by taken advantage of I mean like putting your life savings into a 20% APR yield crypto savings account and getting rugpulled the next week. Funny how you reference being taken advantage of in standard financial institutions as having debt but it is just as easy if not easier to take out loans in the crypto space that people have no chance in hell of paying off. Regardless, that's unrelated to what I was talking about, which was about people getting conned day in and day out in the crypto space. At the very least, this is minimized in the regular financial market which has safeguards in place to protect consumers. Is this system perfect? No. Is it 100x better and safer than the current state of crypto because of lessons of the past and the laws put in place because of them? Yes.

If you believe that crypto is in any regard better than the traditional banking system (which it seems you do), please state those claims explicitly.

For actual use of Bitcoin I don't think the value even matters. You buy it, transact it, and the seller sells it immediately. It doesn't matter what the value was as long as it doesn't change in between this process.

In my perspective the only real use of bitcoin is transferring money where you can't use traditional payment providers.
A few days ago we published a poll asking how much time it typically takes a developer to investigate an OSS vulnerability reported by an SCA tool.

About 70 people responded, a good mix of security and engineering. Here are some interesting insights.

24% reported it takes less than 2 hours
55% reported it takes more than a day

Most of the 24% were security, and most of the 55% were software engineers.

This started a somewhat...heated discussion on our internal Slack.

What do you think is the reason for the difference in perspective on this?

Does it have a mode where it can drive a real browser? Most real-world UI test matrixes for web apps want the tests run on their real targets for any final acceptance. "Fake" headless browsers tend to be more useful for first-tier CI and just keeping tests warm.

If it can only drive its internal browser engine, that'd possibly be a big argument against it for any test strategy I was architecting. I'd want the tests to be portable and usable cross-browser for acceptance--particularly UI-driven E2E tests, since that's really the only time they are critical.
As an atheist, I obviously disagree. Purpose and meaning have to be based in truth, scientific truth, if you will. Otherwise, you run the risk of harming someone. Dogmatic belief systems based on revelation are risky at best.
