Yes that's a customary name for the winter solstice. Like Midsummer for the summer solstice.

As I wrote, in European tradition 'winter' starts much earlier than the winter solstice because quite obviously the cold and grey months start earlier.

I am still puzzled that you never heard of 21st December being the beginning of the (astronomical) winter, like 21st June is beginning of summer, etc.
Of course you’d pick the former. You can’t save the world from a jail cell, and just think about all the people you’ll be able to help sitting on a cool billion, by the beach in a country with a no extradition policy.

It’s the altruistic choice.
GrapheneOS has just patched this vulnerability for the Pixel 3a!
sorry for the late reply. but basically it simply wasn't helpful. good people got screened out, bad people still got thru.
That the energy consumption of Mastodon is negligible in comparison.
entirely depends on the requirements. however having said that, if your customer requests a quick one-off report you can guarantee they’ll ping you in a month asking for an update by 930am when they need to present updated results.
if your customer requests a real time dashboard that requires bespoke data integrations there’s about a 50% chance they’ll look at it a couple times per month and then after a couple quarters just stop using it entirely.
Not really new as it is built on top of Parasolid. The nice UI is fairly new, dictated by the tablet environment and style given while building upon traditional CAD approaches. Their claim of 'reinventing CAD' is very difficult to take seriously when they basically leverage on a 40 years old traditional and highly optimized product where the success point is only that it was made available on tablets when Parasolid compiled their kernel on the then newest Apple hardware (which was powerful enough now to run Parasolid). More like being in the right place in the right time kind of thing, not revolution, exposing the essential functionality of a huge set, while graciously forgetting that CAD is not only about accurate solid modeling (a huge part of it though) but coordination, engineering and workflow matters, without those it is a first unrealised step towards a product, not a reinvention at all, not even close.

Nicely simplified handling though, kudos there, exposing well the subset of Parasolid functions being enough. Very good in its niche, in the domain of simple pretty things where forgetting hard matters is acceptable, democratising part (geometry) of the design for more people. The advances in making additive manufacturing available to the masses could elevate it further, true to its roots, by riding the right horses. (assuming it could connect to other tools in a similarly simplified manner that could do the remaing jobs for it in realizing a product)
None of what you described is a consequence of capitalism and all a consequence or stupid government policies. Capitalism didn't force them to sell those properties for peanuts, nor did capitalism force onerous regulations to be put in place to prevent the market from building new supply after government messed up the situation.
Regular public were shown multiple FTX TV adverts featuring A-list celebrities. The collapse of FTX is being featured on major news outlets. I'm pretty sure ordinary people will hear about it.
Go's io/fs[0] design is one of the more successful ideas inspired by Plan 9 imho. If we can't have a 9p-centric OS, the next best thing is a 9p-like interface in a language's standard library.

For example, I have been developing a static site generator where I implement the output folder as an fs.FS[1]. The output generating code is now a simple function that copies from folder A to folder B, without even knowing that A is a virtual filesystem. Now how do I implement a preview server? Simply pass said filesystem to the standard library's http.FileServer. Done. (okay you actually have to pass it through the http.FS() adapter, but that's only because http.FileServer predates io/fs)

Of course this kind of abstraction can be done in any language, but Go explicitly specifies this interface, which can already be used by multiple utilities in the standard library (e.g. http.FileServer, go:embed). This nudges people to the same interoperable interface, and I'm all for it.

I'm sure some management consultants provide utility to a lot of larger companies which might be inefficient. I know some of them have identified procedures or process that are irrational or time consuming and can offer ways to improve efficiency. But a lot of it doesn't lead to any change in the end.
Are they scam?
What constitutes a scam?

I'm about as much of an NFT hater as you can be.

But people spend money on lots of "dumb" stuff.

So why is an NFT a scam if Pokemon cards aren't?

Both of them are artificially scarce. Both of them are mainly about buying cute pictures. And at least for a lot of the buyers, it's about speculating the price will go up in the future.
…so far

Of the remaining tokens it’s likely that a large portion will rug in the future.
Nice "submarine" pun. :)
My takeaway is the opposite. If not even this could make people switch to Mastodon nothing can. Even if Twitter got shut down they would find something else that is not AP.
Nope. Drives me up a wall.
Who says Pokemon cards aren't? ;)
How interoperable with each other are the various Plan9 variants (including plan9port and hosted Inferno)? If all of the Plan9-like servers on a network have the exact same OS, does that enable possibilities that wouldn't otherwise be available, like migrating running processes between them?
Would you mind explaining that in even simpler terms?

> All the other details aside, this doesn't feel okay and I cannot believe that elected officials voted against legislation to prevent this sort of a markup situation. Whatever happened to them needing to represent the interests of the people

Note that those markup figures are based on production cost, excluding capital investment. Lilly is profitable, but not any more profitable than Google or Facebook or Apple.

Making critical products less profitable than less critical ones is often contrary to “the interests of the people.” It drives investment from stuff like new pharmaceuticals to stuff like dating apps.

Insulin is actually a perfect example of that. The first generation insulins now are relatively cheap. The “insulin” we’re talking about here are second-generation insulin analogs, which are easier to administer and help better control blood sugar levels. We are at the tail end of the patents on those and we are already starting to see generic insulin analogs being made at Wal-Mart.

You have to think about the system in terms of how humans work and their motivations. Brilliant people who can make new, better insulin aren’t born any more altruistic than the people whose talents are better suited to coming up with new advertising algorithms. They want to make a bunch of money from their work. If you make it so that smart people can make more money doing an ad-tech startup rather than a bio-tech startup, that’s what they’ll do.
> This whole saga has done irreparable damage to crypto.

There were so many similar sagas in crypto, that this is not surprising at all by now.
> And so is the case with the fediverse. The six million users would "easily" fit on a mastodon on under thirty (virtual) servers, a very few large PostgreSQL database servers and a single file-server/storage. I know, because I've built and grown such Rails systems, with millions of users (on AWS). Certainly not thousands of servers. Definitely not thousands of database-servers.

> Even if Mastodon were to be rewritten in Rust, tuned, and changed into a backend that can host thousands of users on a single Raspberry-Pi running on solar power, it still is inefficient. For one, because that backend would be even more efficient when employed in a centralized setup. And secondly because there is a lot of network overhead.

Reading these two paragraphs, I was struck by how similar it is to the argument against proof-of-work cryptocurrencies, only with the oppozite conclusions. Look how wasteful, they will say, look how inefficient, and slow, and non-green it is. It's rare to hear someone argue that yes, a technology is wasteful, and it is a good thing.
You need to start backing up your statements with facts. Please show us that bitcoin fees are "often not" cheap at all.

Here's some actual data you can look at: https://mempool.space/graphs/mining/block-fee-rates#all

Look at the "Min" fee rate; regularly very close to 1. That's $0.02 at current prices.
Can someone please elaborate on the relationship between archive links and spam? Why is this particular auto-flagging done?
Byte streams are "untyped and unchecked" too, but that's because typing and checking can be deferred to a higher layer in the stack. I.e. one could easily define a typed IDL to provide a semantics over these bare text streams. No different from how most languages provide type checking over, e.g. ABI-standard subroutine calls.
What does that say about VC's due diligence?
Is it public which servers an instance is blocking / what servers they are federating with?
I don't necessarily think so for 2 reasons:

The fact that the lowest level of interaction you can have with a computer is writing memory. When writing device drivers, or interfacing with microcontroller hardware, the way you give commands and transfer data is by writing your command to a memory-mapped device register, or an area of memory that will be copied to the target device. This, coupled with the ability to map a file to memory, allows this paradigm to compete with the most efficient bare-metal implementations. One particular example is the /dev/draw interface mentioned in the article, where anyone could literally write graphics program just by fiddling with bits in memory, just like in DOS or the C64.

The other thing is, modern computers are networks in a box. For example, what if your GPU is a separate computer networked over a high-speed link. What if I could upload a texture just by opening a 'file' on the GPU, mmaping -it and memcpy-ing the data into it? I don't see anything particularly inefficient here, particularly if the data transfer can be handle by a special network protocol that takes advantage of PCIExpress.
> People can also send you unsolicited messages by replying to you or @-mentioning you.

You can deal with that by blocking them personally. No need for a guardian angel.
“Any sensible person”.

I think this is an unfair characterization of people that keep large sums on exchanges. It’s not unreasonable to trust a company worth billions to hold your funds. Some might even argue an exchange is safer than a hardware wallet in the sense that if you physically lose the wallet, or completely forget the password, you’re SOL.

No one expects a multi-billion dollar exchange to vaporize over night. All that has changed this week. However, I don’t think it will have much impact on people storing their crypto off exchange. What I do expect is that reputable exchanges will start being more open about customer funds, and audits of those funds.
I've never been much of a believer in (stale, traditional) "honor-bound" business, where people are offended by rude behavior and personal slights and everyone has to dress up and speak properly. But my God, I'm starting to hope that it makes a comeback. Imagine losing a huge chunk of your savings to a scruffy man-child who played video games in the meeting where he was awarded the cash it took to ruin you.
This seems to be a user-hostile move.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_fronting

”Many large cloud service providers, including Amazon and Google, now actively prohibit domain fronting, which has limited it as a censorship bypass technique. Pressure from censors in Russia and China is thought to have contributed to these prohibitions”
That's really impressive
Is Meta still part of this now that they're struggling? The big four remaining allow for other combinations.
When the banks get bankrupt (i.e due overleverage, stealing/using customer's money etc) their customers get nothing back. A such example is
MF Global. I'm not going into the whole story why banks and centralised/opaque finance is bad.

Now the whole point of crypto was the tech behind it which was supposed to replace banks, exchanges and missuse of your OWN money. It's supposed to be an alternative to the trash financial tools we already use. The fact that people are using entities such FTX, Binance makes them deserve to be punished for their betrayal. Regardless if they use FTX or JP Morgan they pretty much deserve to experiment the shortfalls of centralised finance. I think it's part of the hello world example of what DeFi is trying to solve.

One more thing: If FTX was hacked I bet it has almost nothing to do with the crypto technology.

There is no mechanism currently to subscribe to a blocklist. Some forks allow exporting/importing block lists as CSVs, but that is manual.

Am new admin for a friend-only instance; currently blocking seems to be done via user reports + checking in on the #Fediblock hashtag. It's all manual, and repeated admin work needs to be done per-instance, which is why the article says it's inefficient but a good trade-off (so you can choose the server you align with best).
so to be speak, Uniswap is the greatest invention of the humankind. It cuts the middle man, regulators, anyone calls himself accredited. The more beautiful thing is that you just need an elementary math to understand how the pricing works.
I was more referring to the apparent accidental inclusion of completely unrelated access credentials. That’s something they’re now learning the hard way.

Maybe don’t get in the habit of committing everything in your learning repo, just in case you’ve accidentally saved something else there.
Not a lot of people spend 10k or 100k on pokemon cards.

> The terms scam and malicious token are not being used identically by all researchers. For example, papers such as
[44] use the terms scam and under-performing token indistinguishably, leading to inaccurate results and classifications.
In the current paper, we define a malicious token as one released by a developer or a group of developers with no
intrinsic value or use case.

I guess the test token I put on Uniswap is a scam then.
You are so correct. Bernie Madoff was exemplary convicted and in record time. And incredibly almost all funds were recovered by pressuring his business associates, even when the fault of some of these associates was not clear cut.
You're talking about the ActivityPub "MOVE" message. Yes, that would be possible I believe.
It depends on the messaging. The company will often try to spin it as a mission where everybody is taking a hit so your colleagues can keep their job in difficult times. This is doing your part for the greater good. Me, I'd reduce my work effort by the equivalent amount.
I’m curious to hear more about the other 2.3%
> I think I've just convinced myself why I should have a bounced version of everything I do in a "parallel folder" so I can quickly preview stuff and only open the actual project when I want to use it.

Huh. That would be a wicked feature for a DAW to have built in. Like how photoshop generates thumbnails of the complex document within.

I think I know why they don't, and that's because some songs take a while to render, but I think it would be possible for the 98% of actual usage. I'm not sure at which point you would generate them, on save I guess? Maybe it can be like videogames, where auto-saves are frequent and don't process the preview audio, but a "full save" could contain the full preview clip.
That's due to a class-Y capacitor in the PSU used for EMI filtering. Honestly it's harmless and you'll even see this issue on a MBP if you don't use the three prong cord that has a ground. Normally it's so slight that you don't feel it but if you lightly rub your finger over the chassis you can sort of feel a texture to the surface that's not actually there. It's 60Hz but it feels like ridges on the surface and it disappears if you unplug it or plug it in using a grounded cord.

I’ve used an OpenVPN server running on port 53 to bypass a number of restricted networks over the years. Seems like the network engineers are getting better at detecting and blocking the technique but it still works around half the time

AIUI, you need something like CXL to implement a proper concurrency model that works seamlessly for both local and remote memory. So we're kinda close to what you're describing but not quite there yet.
Yeah and photographing art and claiming it is yours, is surely copyright infringement.

These disingenuous arguments are not taking the conversation forward.
In addition to what the sibling commenters wrote --

The basic strategy of Zhang, as well as Goldston-Pintz-Yildirim, Maynard, and others is as follows: consider the numbers

n, n+2, n+4, n+6, n+8, ... n+70,000,000

and prove that "on average" at least two of them are prime. Prove this, and the result follows.

Now this is not literally true, the average spacing between primes is unbounded. The main technical work is in coming up with a weighting function, which is biased towards those n for which the "average" claim is likely to be true. Prove this, and you're done.

One then has to compute "the weighted average number of primes in n, n+2, ..., n+70,000,000", subject to the weighting function you chose. It's relatively easy to do in principle, but it requires various estimates for counting prime numbers, all of which come with error terms, and the hard part is to prove that the error terms don't accumulate enough to completely drown out the main term.

Work on this subject has proceeded along two lines: (1) come up with a more efficient weighting function, that does a better job of picking out the n we really want to count; (2) improving the error estimates in the various counts that come up. Both of these are intrinsically quantitative, and inevitably less precise than one expects to be true -- and the upshot is that if you aim for 2, you might prove 70,000,000 instead, which is still an amazing achievement.
Uniswap lets you exchange your cryptocurrency for another one without any centralized architecture (it's not an exchange like Binance).
It lets you swap token A for token B. The price is auto calculated based on reserves of A vs B…. Swap more of A for B and A becomes cheaper
Crypto is pitched as a decentralized alternative to central bank currencies. Which, I think, is a great idea, especially with CBDCs (which are really going to be the catalyst for fascism on steroids, especially in quasi-democracies) on the horizon.

My biggest problem with crypto is that most people who buy and hold it are not truly libertarians looking to scale up usability in the space. They're really just gamblers who want their investment to go to $1M per bitcoin so they can convert to fiat (the irony) and retire to the Bahamas and life the big life.

Otherwise, why does the entire industry keep banging on about $100K EOY?

And I won't begrudge you that, after all, it's your money, isn't it?

But until crypto makes a hard pivot from being a speculative investment to an ecosystem encouraging day-to-dy usage, I just don't believe it has any long-term usage.

In addition, I think Zuckerberg had an extremely brilliant idea when he wanted to make a stablecoin tied to a basket of currencies - it's be stable enough to use on a day-to-day basis, and it'd still be a crypto, at least theoretically.
I think there is more information than that. There are 20 amino acids, so around 1x10^13 possible sequences.

This is also a clue as to why we don't have a perfectly rigid system, as a library of T cells capable of recognising every combination would weigh 600+ kg.
WBTC is a 1:1 pegged token that you can trade on uniswap.
Indeed. It doesn't make sense to compare code designed to handle errors with code that simply ignores them - yet I see it all the time when people talk about C++ exception handling.

A more interesting discussion IMO can be found here, mostly focused on why audiences of the day didn't see the film as satire, but basically as a return to goofy 1980s movies:

https://collider.com/starship-troopers-audiences-susceptible...

> "Perhaps it was the lack of any clear dystopian imagery in the day-to-day life of the Federation's populace (that any lesser film would have insisted on spoon-feeding to its audience) that resulted in the joke getting lost. It seems that without that heavy nod to the audience to telegraph that what they're seeing is intended to be seen as satirical propaganda, Starship Troopers is basically identical to any other war or action film produced by Hollywood."

> "The valorization of not just individual soldiers, but also of the military institution and its noble purpose; the careful casting of attractive actors, backed by teams of make-up artists to depict what is supposed to be the average, everyday soldier; the insistence on portraying the enemy as a faceless and malicious entity, motivated by a singular desire to destroy all that is good and civilized… These are all common themes that everyone can recognize."

A similar movie, though not intended to be satire, was "Invasion USA" starring Chuck Norris (1985), featuring black-clad communist commandos invading Florida and launching an all-out assault on churches, family dinners and Christmas trees, shopping malls and local city councils, only to be thwarted by the martial arts hero. Here, the bugs are played by creepy Soviet agents and their Cuban sidekicks, for example:
