A great point, but I’m not as worried about costs since it’d be backed with community donations. Any thoughts on architecting for efficiency?
> a bit like asking GMail for your emails back when Google goes bankrupt.

And I sure as heck would want by e-mails back if Google goes bankrupt. Google shouldn't own them, they're just an exchange for e-mails. The idea that another entity would buy those e-mails and do with them what they like is ridiculous, regardless of any juristic reality.
He donated in the primaries. He told the democrats he would donate again in the general, but didn't. Like a month ago there was articles like "Where is the $100MM Sam promised the Democrats, he's donated nothing in the general"
> An exchange shouldn't count deposited crypto as their asset. It is an asset of their customer.

Exactly. A brokerage firm doesn't own your stocks, so if it goes bankrupt you can still recover what is yours.

FTX pretended to be that, but they just plain lied.
Yeah, and you can bet the audits will just be some box-ticking nonsense like always.
Desktop not a dying product anymore than cars are a dying product. They are undergoing changes (ICE to EV) and there are alternatives (trains) but they're simply not going away. Desktop OS is for creating digital things. Phones are the way to digitize things that have been created outside of the computer. Phones don't have dual 24" monitors. Dual 24" monitors don't fit in your pocket. Different use cases, with a lot of gray area in between.
Sure. Look into any dictator that was installed by the CIA. Emboldened by their power and shady alliance with the US, they usually go on a financial crime spree--stealing billions.
I can think of at least three times I've had to do this, across ~7 years of working with Node. It's an awful hack, but when you need it, you need it.
Yes, because DeFi never suffers from collapses or hacks. Nobody every drained a DAO with a flash-loan, or used one to cash-out illiquid assets with no intention of paying it back... DeFi is as much of a joke as the rest of the ecosystem.
> will lose access to 100% of their funds

Or, if you think like foreignpolicy.com thinks:

> The crypto bag-holders all actually lost their money long before, when they bought the bitcoins. In the time since, they’d been telling themselves and everyone else that their magic beans were worth money and never mind the lack of buyers. But this was not the case. The beans were always worthless, and the only way to make money from them was to sell them off before other people caught on.

That thing is from 2002, kind of ancient even by side-swipe-keyboard phone standards. Only got my first one when HTC started offering them on our market around the 2004/2005 time (with windows mobile 5, ymmv).

There are benefits to both centralization and decentralization. In fact this tension drives a lot of technological improvement.
There was a headline claiming he donated $12B to rehabland in Africa.
Node.js – v19.1.0
And at the point that the ETH network provides its alternatives, centralized services will have better products, more users, and more features simply because building centralized services is far, far easier and less time consuming than building decentralized ones.

How the pandemic ended America’s bad romance with work
This is bizarre to me that people would actually say this to you. Anecdotally, I've worked for some pretty well known tech companies and have never heard anyone talk this way openly. I never worked in Silicon Valley or SF, but these corporations I worked for regularly hired Indian and Eastern European developers because they were great developers... Some of my best mentors immigrated from these areas.

If you are hearing this kind of talk regularly, I think it's time to change who you work with as this doesn't seem right or normal to me.
Why would you leave the second + intact, when the ^ prevents it from matching 2 or more times? And what if you want to match the substring in "Faaaaabulous"?

Did you see the even simpler fix in TFA that doesn't break mid-string matches?
Therapy. Seriously. What you're describing is anxiety, and therapy can help you deal with that.

You have a lot of money in savings, and a career in a high-demand, well-paid industry. You could be better off, and it's good to strive fore more security, but no matter how secure you are, there are always going to be reasons to worry.

Learning to cope with anxiety is a must-have skill, in my opinion.
lmao. I can't believe this is real.

I use manjaro with my on DWM build (very small changes and a few usefull patches).
I'm not liking it because for some reason pamac (AUR helper) cli behaves differently from the UI. So now and them, when I need to update a package, the cli wont do it because of some signature issues, and the UI can handle it. So now and then I go back to cinnamon because I can't lauch pamac correctly from the terminal from DWM. Very weird setup going on.

I think that's exactly why we have a republic with representatives, but I don't even think people are qualified to pick good representatives. A campaign can easily pander to people who are acting selfishly or stupidly. At the end of the day, if you have people who can't even understand compound interest by the time they're entering university and who can't do a cost-benefit analysis on loans, why are those people supposed to catch nuances in monetary and fiscal policy and select from a panel of alleged experts?
Yup, I was a big fan of phones with actual keyboards, before and after the smartphone era, for exactly that reason. Transferring the muscle memory from typing on a PC keyboard to these mini-keyboards was surprisingly fast, and after that you could simply type without worrying about T9 fucking things up (one classic in German was that it turned "Frohe", as in "Happy Easter" or "Merry Christmas", into "Droge", as in illegal drugs). My collection includes the Nokia 5510 (also memorable for being one of the first phones with a built-in music player, although the memory was laughably small), the Nokia 6822 (I think this was the successor of the phone in the tweet - looks like quite a few "dads" must have bought one) and the Motorola Droid/Milestone.
A lot of crypto investors are day traders or naive hodlers who have no idea what blockchain and DeFi means. But DeFi protocols like Uniswap and Aave are holding up fine and are incapable of pausing user withdrawals.
Then it is an utter failure at both.
except it doesn't solve either, because it's still risky to keep (whether with a 'trusted third party' or at home on some physical device... at the end of the day it can't be better than physical possession.. i.e. cash). volatility is a lot worse than stable inflation, and deflation (just HODL!) is much, much worse to the point of demonstrating the degree to which bitcoin is not useful as a monetary unit of exchange.
That is innovation! I like scrcpy for controlling the phone from my desktop.

The scaling requirements are also unevenly distributed. Servers hosting celebrities are going to have very different load vs servers hosting 99% of people who are mostly interacting with friends/family/interest groups. The overall resource footprint with Mastodon will surely be much bigger than a fully centralized service like Twitter that can continuously identify and engineer out inefficiencies across their whole user base, not sure this is a high ranking consideration though.

They've already received $11b in private funding and another 13b from the IPO. I don't think money is the problem here.
I don't think you understand how massive a billion is compared to a million.

No-one has contributed billions of value to society.

Most scientists who have cured diseases are not billionaires.

But for example the founder of instacart is a billionare.

That should not be possible.

It means the system is beyond broken and it's being exploited.
> It seems that many people genuinely do it out of necessity

If that's your qualifier, then anyone with access to agriculture with modern fertilization (and supplements) does not need it, including indigenous groups in North America (and others could be relocated - maybe they'll be receptive if you tell them it will make them better people). At any rate I don't believe that survival needs to be on the line in order to justify consuming meat. Regarding beef, it's currently the most egregious carbon emitter in agriculture and so I see reducing it's consumption as a positive that people will respond to. I expect "cease consuming meat" would be less effective messaging.

You mentioned spear fishing. Sardines don't have a cerebral cortex, which to me puts them on the level of insects. Unfortunately we have to rely on intuition when judging animal consciousness, but I think it's accurate to say even vegans do not generally have misgivings about killing bugs in their house. These are of course beings that can sense pain, but it's not clear to what extent they're conscious. Mentioned because: I think the meaning of sanctity itself is bent in arbitrary ways. The greens appear to disapprove of impact of humans on nature across the board, notwithstanding that our very existence greatly disrupts nature as our numbers scale. The trees and plants are also sacred, it seems, but not so sacred that we can't reap some arbitrary amount. The insects are sacred, but it doesn't matter what happens to them. Pre-civilization is romanticized by ancoms as keeping a balance with nature it never has.

> I simply believe they are wrong, though.

Right, I mentioned in another post that there is fundamental disagreement as to what poor treatment of animals constitutes. I think discourse gets distorted/unproductive if we ignore the difference in values, so it's good to get it out in the open if people are to identity problems they can all agree on. I expect most people, if you poll them, would say they favor measures to reduce harm to farm animals, even if they'd still consume them.
I didn't crack open a programming book until after college. When I did it was just a big Wrox PHP book because I was trying to figure out something I didn't know how to do even though I'd be working with PHP for 3-4 years already at the time.

Found the thing. Saw another thing on the prior page that I didn't know about which made my entire life easier. Sat down and binge read the entire book.

Ever since, I always read programming books before getting started with a new language or framework because I learned the hard way that it's much better to have a complete understanding to save yourself a lot of unnecessary pain.

> Most of us don't have a problem with _private schools_, just with state money or charity being aimed at them.

State money already goes to a dizzying array of non-profit and religious institutions. Anywhere from local homeless and addiction services to the University of Notre Dame. Why should primary and secondary schools be excluded?

> Private schools are fundamentally capitalistic

This is a meaningless statement. The VST majority of private schools in the US are non-profits.

> they serve their (generally wealthy) patrons, not society.

Religious schools in the US started out as a cheap way to educate the poor in reading. Catholic schools in particular still serve poorer communities and are low cost. Residential assignment in public schools comes from a legacy of segregation and anti-catholic laws. The wealth will always have their pick of education for their children and always have. Denying funding for poor students that want to opt out of their shitty assigned schools just perpetuates injustice.
> Sounds like the "Yuppie Nuremberg Defense" from Thank You For Smoking, in which a tobacco lobbyist excuses himself by saying he has a mortgage to pay.

It's not a "defense", it's just reality. When it snows, do you say that sounds like the "triple point defense" of frozen water?

People are by and large fallible. I am. And we're wired to prioritize our immediate family over nebulous ideas like The World Must Know The Truth. I am full of nothing but admiration if you are the rare exception who is doing only the most principled of things, with complete confidence that everyone you work for is upright, and that you have optimized your labor to produce the most good for the world in general, not just you and yours.

But I honestly don't blame those "Yuppie Nuremberg" people, and if you see shallow news reporting as the moral equivalent of lobbying for tobacco, I can't really disagree. I just don't have the energy to pass moral judgment on everyone, so I'm content with understanding the phenomenon.
Judging by the DMA and DSA these EU proposals almost always make it into law with only minor changes.

So yes, this is something to be concerned about.
The low-value theoretical question is whether it's NP-hard. For something like SR, if the solution space were to be big enough such that potentially NP hardness would be a serious partical hurdle, it's extremely difficult to trust the outcome of solving the optimization problem.

SR is equivalent to blind feature engineering. If I put it like that, probably most people who've done a bit of data science would know how bad of an idea it is unless we can regularize it well and bound the search space based on prior knowledge.

Deep learning has the same theoretical problem and it's only overcome by its unreasonable empircal effectiveness on certain problems. And even then, nobody cares about its NP-hardness.
Ah, gotcha. I agree there is a significant amount of harmful "broscience" doing rounds in a typical lifting area. :-)
3blue1brown's Essence of Linear Algebra: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZHQObOWTQDPD3MizzM2x...

Many linear algebra courses struggle to bring the abstract concepts into an intuitive mental model, which is sad because I think linear algebra fundamentally represents fairly visually-oriented concepts. I never was able to put the pieces together before seeing the visualizations and animations of the numbers.
Yes. Once you read Dawkins the others are a natural follow-up. Both the books you mentioned are sublime.
I have a cat s61, which has a tiny bump out at the top of the standard cellphone rectangle shape for the IR camera. People always ask me what it is, because this minute detail stands out so much when everything else looks the same.
I'm not sure if it's related to or orthogonal to everything actually being absurd, but there has been a decades-long trend of America/the West taking longstanding elements of culture less and less seriously, just as a matter of fashion. That removes a lot of the low-hanging fruit for comedians.

Decades ago, acts like Monty Python or Allan Sherman were subversive; now they might still be kind of funny, but certainly not shocking. When you have generations that grew up on self-conscious irony, where the way to be cool was not to be seen caring about anything, it's harder to make comedy stick.

Politicians and religious figures may not be any more or less corrupt and out-of-touch than they always were, but now they can gain enough support to keep their jobs without anyone actually taking them seriously, and that's where the self-parody comes in.

I wouldn't say comedy is failing because the source material is too ridiculous, I would say it's failing because the audience is a tough crowd.
I still don’t understand why people keep their crypto in Exchanges… Is it that difficult to have a secure private address where you keep your crypto?

I get it that if you want to exchange and play with the markets you need to have your crypto in a shared wallet, but why for f** shake would you put all your money there?

That’s the whole point with crypto, you don’t need a bank (exchange) to store them for you. Not your keys, not your coins :-)
Gofai is dead – long live (NF) AI
That's my point. His conduct is bad. It deserves to be called out. But that's no excuse to forgive loads of things just because:

- the media doesn't make an issue out of it

- it's been normalized

The irony is, the loud broken-compass hypocrites are part of the problem. They're not speaking truth to the prevailing powers. Power who have set the stage for Trump and his ilk. Don is a symptom. It's foolish to obsess over a symptom while the root causes get a free pass.
The playblook seems to be the following:

1) Freeze withdrawals

2) Announce they are being frozen at some later time

3) Anyone who is powerful/influential enough to "get to you" gets their withdrawal processed

4) The rest are not dangerous enough to worry about having a hit taken out on you

I hope everyone recognizes that it's about transparency and common sense more than regulation. Sadly this will probably cascade to other exchanges as general awareness forces more people to withdraw from exchanges. Hopefully the stronger exchanges persist.

The real question everyone should be asking is: who is the counterparty to these "losing" leveraged deals?
At the very least I see that he can't take care of his body, why then will he be able to take care of mine?
Ask HN: Sprint Review as a Torture Method?
Just an observation, but I've seen some organizations that don't practice Scrum or Agile very well and don't put in the effort needed to improve it but they always want to have the Sprint Review.

So then I asked myself "why?" I think the answer is obvious, it's a form of micromanagement they use to keep developers feeling stress and pressure to perform.

This basically boils down to satiating developers who want Agile by pretending to do it while continuing to practice Waterfall.

Have others seen the same?
Hahaha, its funny you expect somebody to be fired over this. People don't get fired for murders, unless of course there is a public and political outrage, till then nothing happens.
Never heard of this one. There are 100s of exchanges. Despite recent bad news, the vast majority of exchanges have not failed.
I don't read CS papers, but the standard practice I use is to read the abstract, and then skip to the discussion at the end. You can usually get 80% of what you want to know just by skimming these sections. At least, this is my experience in reading medical papers.
Another way to say, you reap what you sow, right?

Pragmatically speaking, there really isn't much of a disagree. Sure, you can chose to not buy an Apple device, yet then you'll buy an Android device, with its own ToS.

Dominos is still terrible from a gourmet food perspective. They went from abysmal to merely bad. Which is fine at that price point and value prop.
True, but it's way easier to add centralization to a system that is decentralized by nature than it is to somehow decentralize something that is centralized by nature.
My hope is that this case or another uncovers just how much user tracking Apple does. It is a lot more than people know. And the efforts to "de-anonymize" collected data are laughable and not de-anonymized, and there is no real oversight for compliance. But that's all I am going to say on that.
Do you mind sharing some of the tools you are using?
Glad to hear it. Perhaps I just encountered a few bad areas. Either way, the experience was new to me.

>They deserve their wealth because you keep buying and using their products.

Can you elaborate on this? It doesn't follow at all to me. If somebody makes billions and another person makes thousands, but the billionaire does not work proportionally hard or deliver proportional value to society or does not behave morally, and I buy products from both people, you may (and should) criticize me. However, there's no logical reason that means the billionaire "deserves" all their wealth, if we are using the word "deserve" by its normal conversational definition. The offloading of 100% of responsibility to the consumer seems like a really weak scape-goat based on emotions.
I remember when I was young, my dad came out of a Parent-Teacher meeting and showed his flip phone which showed 40 missed calls from work. He worked as a lead programmer in a bank which was very new to Internet Banking.

He was clearly annoyed with the calls, but as a kid I was amused and a little jealous of the fact that in such a short time so many people wanted to get hold of him. I also remember signing up for all kind of email newsletters just to get more emails!

Have to admire the vision of this artist in an age when even land lines weren't in wide use!
"You can do what you want, but you can't want to want what you want."

I've read many of PG's essays, but this one feels like GPT-3 wrote it.
It's borderline gibberish. Like he trained an AI on all his other essays, fed it the essay title, and this was the result. I half-expect a year from now that he'll tell us all his recent essays were written by this AI and it's now the core IP in some recent YC investment.
I hope he turns off the microservices that deliver the "Twitter is better in the app" popup, and block my screen and tell me to sign up if I try scrolling down. As a matter of fact, going web-only would be a great way to streamline
> It's not necessary for the OSI to approve a license for the software to be open source

I agree with you, but this is a controversial opinion which is the root of my frustration. OSI tries really hard to own "open source" as a term and while I'm not against the OSD I am against the gate keeping I see.
Meanwhile, the focus is on anything but the MIC. The MIC loves distractions. Trump Hating being one of their faves.
