It would be nice were that actually the case. However, in practice, I tend to find that doing most things just using voice with my hands on the wheel and eyes on the road ends up being a really frustrating experience. This isn't a particular knock on Siri specifically. I'm pretty sure I'd find Google or Alexa similarly annoying in the same context. As someone says up-thread, Alexa at home is fine for a few formulaic things that I know the incantation for and pretty useless for everything else.
Remember Exxon has duped those same people into thinking they are a “good” company

How much of Binance's $500-million worth of FTT did they manage to salvage before FTT / FTX went bankrupt? We already know that Binance had at least one giant pile of FTT, as they tweeted about this before FTX / FTT troubles started to go down.

In some sense, it has already reached Binance. The real question is whether or not Binance has enough funds to weather that kind of storm.

>QML is an acknowledgement that JS can bring greater productivity than C++ within Qt.

That's not what my friends who still do Qt jobs tell me. They consider it more of a hindrance because you're limited in what you can do. And it's buggy.

But I guess if all you know is javascript...
Purely subjective, of course, but it's lost none of it's hilarity for me!
Packages should be exposing an API with destination slices more often to begin with. The stdlib is pretty good about this (there's a few missing though 1.19 closed the most obvious absences), but most third-party code is awful. Or worse, it only takes strings.
Crazy right. Almost like unlimited money isn't a thing.
BlockFI was offering 8.5% APY on deposits. FTX was offering 8%

A true exchange, where you just buy and sell, will never pause withdrawals because they won't be acting with these ponzi-like methods

A decentralized exchange won't give you free money, so less people will use it. Also the same with a centralized exchange offering you 0% APY and full liquidity at all times. You could build one, but will people sign up?
Decentralized exchanges are equal to public bug bounties.

A lot (most?) of what's happening in Crypto is quite at odds with the proposed direction in the bitcoin paper (e.g. transparency, (de)centralization) So while a much needed correction for 'crypto' in general, this is not necessarily bad for bitcoin long term.
Was that a private or a public ICO?

Just saying that Polkadot actually works, true it could be super centralised that way I’m not sure about it’s history. But the Kusama / Polkadot combo has delivered, its not a memecoin with no utility.

And of course there’s always Tezos, which has imo the only organic NFT market out there.
A friend of mine would use fiberglass resin, bondo, and plywood because they wanted their sculptures, which they then boxed into custom-sized crates, to last for at least one hundred years.
"Email is the example I give people of how federation could work"

That presupposes that federation is actually a goal and not a means to an end. It's amazing how great developers are at not understanding what creates value. Twitter's value is _reach_. Get 400M users in one place, hook them with interesting content, server them ads, nudge them to sign up, track their engagement to make the platform sticky and attract more contributors. Any censorship that has been done has been for one and only one reason and it's protect the value of the platform. Primarily to advertisers, but also to users because users make the platform valuable. Decentralization deliberately cripples the main value of the platform (reach) in exchange for what exactly? Lack of moderation?

If you want decentralized, uncensorable communities, we solved that 30 years ago with usenet. Or, like you said, you can't be banned from email or running your own website. That's always been the case. People still write blogs. Yet Twitter sold for $44B and Tumblr was sold for $3M. Why? Because Twitter has reach.
The macro economic conditions are such that only senior technical people and similar high-value employees are getting jobs.
Even at a multinational like apple. I was fighting in the provisioning dash board a few years ago because it would not load. Issue was my last name which has an umlaut in it. This wasn't 1990 it was 2012 issh and I still see companies unable to deal with umlaut.

I believe either FedEx or UPS still can't deal with it.

In top of that Swiss mail is quite strict to how a letter is addressed and what is written on the mailbox. Luckily the mail carriers know to ignore garbled umlauts.
Can I use Deno now with AWS from npm and everything just works?
This is blatantly untrue. Venezuelan bolivar has lost 100% of its value (within a rounding error) - current exchange rate is something like 800 trillion of old bolivars to USD. Argentine peso is doing somewhat better than bitcoin this year, only losing 40%, but you don't have to go far back for it to become much, much worse. In the entire history of bitcoin there are very few periods when you'd come out on top holding argentine pesos rather than bitcoins.
Unless you’re in government where there are no laws against leveraging inside info.
Far more likely they will just reform their immigration policies to make it easier for people to move into the country.

Increasing birthrates has a long lead time, it takes at least a generation from when incentives begin to when you start seeing an increase in the number of economically active tax paying adults. And due to population momentum and cultural inertia, it is likely to take much longer than that still.

Immigrants on the other hand can change the shape of a population pyramid on the timescale of a political administration and they start contributing to the economy immediately. Further immigrants tend to come from higher birthrate regions and will likely continue those practices for at least a generation after arrival, leading to long term improvements in population growth. Not every country is a desirable destination for immigrants, and some cultures have stronger barriers than others to assimilation of foreigners, but for many nations growth should easily be possible so long as there are people looking for a higher quality of life, which presumably will still be the case even decades after the world's population levels off.
Would issues like this even arise if it was all open-source and on-chain? I don't mean a DEX run by a DAO, I mean a Delaware C-corp with managers that simply makes every git commit public, maybe even their email servers. You could claim that this would be a competitive disadvantage but it might actually be a novel way to build a moat in this industry.
Ah. Going at it from the other side, wouldn't compliance with the rules regarding distribution / improvement etc be what the project is getting in return?
I'm guessing it's a much more recession-proof line of business.
> A true exchange, where you just buy and sell, will never pause withdrawals because they won't be acting with these ponzi-like methods

Coinbase is also offering APY on its deposits through Coinbase Rewards, as does Binance.

This "true exchange" sounds like the no-true-Scotsman fallacy. Literally no one does what you claim. Everyone in the cryptocoin world is doing this "staking" == crappy loans / bonds business.
Applicable to linux if you set the mac qwerty keyboard layout, which is surprisingly convenient.
How unsavory.

Rather glad speaking "truth to power" is a generally respected move at my current employer, and tussles like this - if they even happen - don't result in firings.
FUD. Unless you are asking for personal data that is not necessary to provide the service the GDPR doesn't affect you or require you to do anything.
A motor sized to be have a maximum speed of, say, 100 mph means by definition that the power the motor can send to the wheels at 100 mph exactly equals the power lost to drag etc. by the vehicle at 100 mph (under the design conditions, presumedly dry flat road). Which means that the time to accelerate to 100 mph is infinite; and, more importantly, the time to accelerate from 70 mph to 80 mph is going to be ridiculously long. In other words, a vehicle that is power-limited to a "reasonable" speed is unsafe for normal highway driving because of insufficient acceleration to pass and avoid hazards. There's a reason that even a modern econobox can easily exceed reasonable speed. If you want to limit speed, you have to do it based on (wheel) rpm, not based on power.
Nonl, you're reading it correctly. Apparently the more catastrophic billion dollars scams that come crashing down the better crypto will be.

I am not sure if most people will have enough patience though!
> I wonder if there's any inherent advantage to Ubuntu

No advantage, but Ubuntu is the most popular distro for regular users / tutorial customers. Ubuntu also has the widest availability of support resources, even though the information is often not Ubuntu-specific.

If you use a non-Ubuntu (or non-Debian-derived) distro, you'll need to do a little bit of package-name mapping to get the prerequisites installed. This is annoying but only has to be done once (take notes!).

The bigger problem I've had with ML libs is that they're very picky about version compatibilities. Once you settle on a set of working/compatible versions (libs, python, python pkgs), make some effort to preserve your sources. Package versions can get deleted from the official repos, be prepared to build from source, etc.
When I was at university we put snails in someone's room for a joke when we were all drunk and he was unconscious. Woke up to snail trails all over his room. Wasn't Leeds though :)
> A VPS to do that is $120/yr

Minor nitpick: I've been running gitea on a $5/mo VPS for a few dozen personal projects and it's incredibly performant. I was also a starving student once and I appreciated the people who supported open source before me. Now I support dozens (with time AND money) as well!

Also, maybe aliquot's question was more about the "secure"?
If we take Musk's goal of making Twitter wild west, then this cut makes total sense. No moderation is needed :)
I'm curious why you consider credit cards a bad thing. I find them to be very convenient because I then don't have to keep track of how much money I have on my bank account; I just buy everything on it, pay it all in one go once my salary drops and repeat. I get cool bonuses and the good benefit of being able to revert fraudulent purchases, and it's all free because I don't buy things I can't afford to pay immediately.
No, I'm saying that Apple is promising advertisers aggregated data about their ad performance and people reached without ever handing over individualized data. Apple, like they do with all of their third-party services, is acting as the gatekeeper between users and advertisers/third parties. They're leveraging user trust in their brand/company to say "we'll provide you with data" to advertisers while being able to tell users "we don't share your individual data with third parties". It's the same reason they insist on Apple Pay being the only method of payment for apps within the app store. They don't want to lose user trust by allowing apps to collect payment information from users. Some people think they're doing it to take advantage of their position as the device manufacturer (not a stretch, in my opinion) but I think their consistency across all devices and platforms makes the argument that they are actually doing what they're claiming for the reasons they're stating.
I'm too young to have imagined thinking about Bill Gates the way we think about Zuckerberg today but reading this, it occurs to me that people must have.
> It is striking to me that the crypto community is re-enacting a classical bank run in a "decentralized" system where such a thing wasn't supposed to happen.

A bank run can only happen with fractional reserve system. An exchange that keeps a 1:1 ratio of assets is not exposed to a bank run. Fiat banks on the other hand are by definition exposed to it.
Can someone actually explain what the intrinsic use of coins is supposed to be (aside from speculating). Their value is so volatile they suck as actual currency, not to mention if you were the guy that spent 10,000 bitcoins on a pizza back in the day you'd feel pretty stupid about your 300 million dollar pizza. They're not even particularly good for illegal purchases -- you have to know what you're doing to keep your blockchain transactions actually anonymous.

Besides the uselessness, let's not ignore the awful downsides. They're a huge boon for randsomeware. Oh and they're an environmental disaster.

Frankly I'm not really sad to see this stuff collapse, because when you get rid of speculation there's not much good about crypto.

I do think we need some sort of crypto currency in the future. I believe in the _idea_ of it. But the current implementation is ridiculous and awful. It needs to function as an actual currency, that you would be willing to spend, not as some sort of incomprehensible "investment" vehicle.
Your original million doesnt go anywhere. If you start with a million and borrow a million, you now have 2 million in assets and 1 million in liabilities. Your valuation is not zero.
It looks like Uniswap has more volume for ETH/USD than almost any other centralized exchange right now

On a mac keyboard you can just long-press?
Same as for GDPR probably. Selective enforcement and chilling effect. Companies will have to take risk of legal action into account, but not really adhere to it, except in some really basic cases.
My way of getting around the emoji conversions from ':)' to a smiley face is typing it in reverse: '(:' or '):'.
Good for Eric. What kind of CEO trashes his own employees (and the product which he now owns) in public like this? It's a good thing Musk wants to reduce headcount because it's hard to imagine anyone taking an offer from Twitter at this point.
We used to double-space after a period because that looked better on monospaced typewriters. But in French it's simply a part of punctuation, and getting it wrong means you wrote it wrong. It's as wrong as if I'm writing English and put a space before the ':' or '!', or put a comma after a quotation mark. French people shouldn't have to change their language to type in Google Docs. It should be the other way around.
Just compile one mega C file into your final exe (`cc input.c -o output.exe`) but it seems like none of the new stuff likes making it that easy. Just the other day I was trying to discover how to turn typescript into plain javascript and the answer seemed to be "install node". (Fuck that.) A shame because the old version of FOO was plain javascript and managed to run (in the browser) from the source tree.
explicit implicit

Good implicit is better than good explicit. (If all is good, go for implicit.)

Bad explicit is better than bad implicit. (If all is bad, go for explicit; don't hide bad explicit with bad implicit.)

Good explicit or implicit is better than bad explicit or implicit.
Personally, I don't. I live in Muenchen, not München. When strictly needed, CTRL+C/CTRL+V from a Google search makes the trick.

When writing email/docs, autocorrector for the win.

Same thing in Italian: `e instead of è. Although, the German replacement is cleaner, I'd say.
Could you be specific about what tracking restrictions Apple imposes on others which they don’t follow themselves?

My understanding was that Apple asks for user consent before letting ad networks track users across many apps run by different companies. Apple doesn’t do that themselves as far as I know?

I doubt much actually comes out of the house investigations other than a bunch of wild speculation and more politicization of the US's relationship with china.
I think 2008 was broader but just from my own personal experience it seemed much worse for tech after the dot.com crash. I worked at the time selling server and storage hardware and after the dot.com crash you could get top of the line servers for pennies on the dollar - this was before AWS et al. It crippled sales for 2 years.
It seems interesting to be honest. I’d love to participate somehow, but 30$ is simply way too high.

I would like to see more examples, to really know what im getting into. See more detailed (or more easy to detect) process.
All along the hills following Blossom Hill Road in San Jose used to be wineries. Very few remnants of these wineries exist because they were replaced with single family homes when the value of the land increased in the 1980's onward. Some of the larger homes on the hills of San Jose / Los Gatos have a few scions.

That would be… inconvenient. That’s not how I use it. I type "a to get ä and 'a to get à. If I want to type actual quotes followed by a vocal I need to “confirm” the quotes with space before typing the vocal.
Im 9-to-1 that Binance is shady asf but I don’t have much evidence - outside of the fact that they used to list tokens in exchange for a share of the pie, which in my eyes is super dodgy.
If/when this cascades to Binance we can it will be a big big setback for crypto and probably slows down adoption of decentralised currencies by decades.

>But it's still a human making a decision in the end

I've got a story here from a previous job that illustrates this.

I used to be part of an Analytics and Forecasting team at a well known non-tech company. It's a global company that sells a lot of things to consumers. This means they strive to have a very good understanding of sales and manufacturing volume because that drives everything from raw material orders and supplier contracts to how much of product to put where so people can go and buy it.

We had short term forecasting teams generating forecasts (at a brand level) and analysts (mostly aggregations, not really statistical inference) that rolled into a medium term analytics/forecasting team(s), that rolled into a long term analytics/forecasting team(s). Not to mention Research teams that did pure statistical and economic modeling to try and understand market factors in a more comprehensive way so they could better inform all these forecasts. All of this went right to the top of the food chain.

The glue between all these teams were managers. And one of the fundamental problem for managers with all of this comes from this simple question - if one of these teams provides a forecast that is very different from the rest, what does that mean? Is that team right or wrong? And how does that information now flow into the other teams so they can incorporate it into the info that goes upstairs.

From this question emerges an astonishing amount of group think. Not just from the company I worked at, but at all competitors as well.

When companies ask "Do we forecast sales to go up" they are really asking "Do we think this market segment is going to go up in the future and we have the right strategy to move up with it?" Cars, Snacks, phones, whatever the market segment, you're really asking how you are doing compared to your competitors in the space.

To understand where you are going, you need to understand how your competitors are doing. This data comes from agencies and consulting houses. But since everybody uses the same data from the same agencies, everybody is feeding each other. What can emerge from this is a massive amount of group think.

I'm greatly simplifying everything of course. When these teams get it right they do amazing stuff like making sure the thing you want to buy is available when you want to buy it. But when they get it wrong, it seems like most everybody else gets it wrong as well. This can slowdown an entire industry as everybody realizes they got it wrong.
No he was writing a book about SBF before all this went down. Probably about how awesome he was. Although you could be right and I’m sure he had some hunches it was all a mess after digging deeper. Then he got an incredible M. Night Shyamalan twist at the end.

SBF and crew were probably basking in their own genius too much to realize how most Michael Lewis books end up. They probably thought they were more Moneyball than The Big Short.
Yeah, if I could go back in time I would have told my younger self that it's okay to use something other than qwerty, and it's okay to use vim, but trying to to do both was a hilariously terrible idea.
Well communication is more important in remote work, so local developers have an advantage in my opinion.

JavaScript in 2022 is JavaScript in 2022, but won't be JavaScript 2022 won't be the same as the JavaScript we'll have in 2030, nor was it the same JavaScript we used in 2010. That's because JavaScript is not driven by a single person with a unified vision, it's driven by a committee who implements stuff based on popularity, quite literally.

I don't want a different language, I want multitude of different languages. And not a multitude of different Fortrans/C-like language.
I wonder if Elon also thought of this when he made verification checks paid.

He must have been aware of verified accounts getting sold and used for scamming so maybe he wanted to dip into that instead of losing it to middleman.
Twitter, from day one, has been poorly architected. Defending that is pretty stupid and then to do it publicly is, well, kind of asking for it.
It’s surprising to me how many tech companies wanted to dominate the TV set top box in the 90s.

I assume they see the recession coming and look to shed cost early rather than wait until deep into recession.

Not GP but I use a similar setup. I have an "extended" US keyboard layout where AltGr+(location of character on native keyboard layout) types the character. For example, AltGr+[ is "ü". I find this more convenient than the compose-like approaches suggested elsewhere in this thread.

I use it because programming language syntax is mostly ergonomic only on US-like layouts, e.g. typing "{" causes a lot of strain if you have to do it on every other line.
Allocations are as damaging as your free function is slow.

Java has a tremendously good GC, so can cope with lots of allocations. Go has an OK one, so needs some help (but mollifying it often pays dividends elsewhere in locality and memory usage too). C++ has your default system heap, good luck.
I'm not saying Python was rocket science, but while it had a lot of broad humor (Ministry of Silly Walks, etc) there were also a lot of subtler jokes.

I thought it was just a bunch of dudes in dresses

A lot of the jokes might have been misfires for you because of subtlety, cultural differences, references that are completely obscured by time 50 years later, etc.

Or maybe just not your brand of humor! Certainly lots of people think much of Python was funny.
