Ha. In some areas it's actually safer. Very good null safety and static typing are two obvious things.

It also has memory leak and corruption detection in debug builds, and it's surprisingly accurate. For leak detection it's 100% accurate because of the level it runs at. You can even build with these checks for production if you're willing to take the performance hit.
You're making a stronger counter argument than you think. BTC only gets a 12,000% increase because you recruit a bigger fool to pay $16,059 than the fool who paid $16,058. The only value that you've offered here is that you can eventually find a fool big enough to pay $1,925,760.

It's not good practice to connect your security systems to your voice assistant, especially door locks. Maybe this isn't the case in your home, but in smaller apartments it's certainly possible for a malicious actor to say "Hey {voice_assistant}, unlock front door", and they gain access. It's the modern day "open sesame".

tbh in the long term probably a good thing for the Democrats.

Yes less money seems bad, but the money was probably going to pump the tires of weak candidates that couldn't get by on their own.

I recall reading that one of the candidates that SBF was funding lost in the primaries to a more leftie democrat, and that candidate went on to win. So what's the point of the money here if the party is able to select good winning candidates without.

Anecdotally speaking, but I suspect is common: We were hemorrhaging employees a year ago, but the bleeding has stopped. So we hired over the past year, slowly filled all those empty roles, and are now more picky with new hires. And honestly, we probably were not picky enough a year ago.

A similar insensitivity is the observation that none of the major Android keyboards allows true disabling of auto-blank, which is super annoying in a language like German where custom composite words occur a lot. Modern keyboards offer a wide selection of clever tricks to keep the auto-blank from messing up punctuation, but allowing one word to be swiped directly after the one before?

The problem is that the people who run the exchanges can't stop themselves from using customers' money to try to get rich.

In theory it is possible that an exchange could just take customer money, keep it in a lockbox, and make their revenue by charging transaction fees. But does that ever happen?

The kind of people who are so into crypto that they build a business out of it are fundamentally incapable of that kind of self control. They think they are revolutionaries who are remaking the financial system. They do really dumb financial stuff that the rest of us learned was bad after the 19th century. They aren't the kind of people who would just leave customer deposits alone.

Remember that FTX was supposed to be the responsible exchange. All the other ones were considered to be worse.

Go maps and channels have reference semantics. Slices are passed and returned by value, but backing arrays are often shared (not copied) in an error-prone way, so it’s safest to pretend they have move semantics and treat only one copy as valid.

IMHO they should have used pointers everywhere they didn’t want value semantics with deep copies.
I read the book “The Culture of Make Believe” and what finally clicked for me was that politicians and CEOs don’t care about anything but themselves, and we all pretend that our system functions but when it results in mass deaths or abuse we just pretend it didn’t happen.

One of many examples in the book was the Bhopal disaster, and the way media and politicians responded to it.
You are missing the fact that we are dealing with an audience that WANTS TO BE FOOLED.

The crypto exchange world is coming apart. FTX, BlockFi, maybe Crypto.com. Institutional investors are getting out.

If either Binance or Tether goes down, it's all over. Both are opaque and probably have less reserves then they claim. As withdrawals continue, we'll find out who really has assets.

People who like to read financial statements are awaiting the filings in the FTX bankruptcy. For the first time, all those related companies have to file public financial statements under penalty of perjury. Expect a lot of "They did what with that money?!"

What may well happen now is that US crypto exchanges, and those that deal with US persons, will be required to become brokers, dealers, or "national securities exchanges" under the Securities Act of 1934, like real stock exchanges.[1] The SEC can now do this, because, last week they finally won the first big lawsuit on whether crypto is a security.[2] Now they can tell all crypto issuers to register and file an S-1 under penalty of perjury, and tell all exchanges to register as brokers, dealers, or exchanges.
The crypto community will scream and demand Congress exempt them. No one in Washington will listen any more. Do regulated US exchanges go bust and lose billions of customer funds? No. Any questions?

Crypto companies wanted special regulations for crypto, but it's too late for that. They'll probably have to become broker-dealers. Series 7 exams. Registered representatives. FINRA regulation. SIPC insurance. Audits. Compliance departments.

(I've had a US broker go bust when they were holding stock of mine. I got it out in about a week, after making a lot of phone calls.)

It's not the end of the crypto world. Gemini will probably become a regulated exchange. Maybe Coinbase.

How can TRUMPLOSE assets still be on their balance sheet? (Aside from "we have no idea what we're doing...")

This is just catnip to the "right-wing" media machine, Even worse is that it's not even really that far-fetched of a theory. Billions spent influencing elections and policy over the last 3 years, and a $10B hole of customer funds just missing. This is just reinforcing the worst conspiracy theories out there, and I'm sad to see it..

> It is not a loan!

So lets say I own 10 ETH. Explain to me how I get my staking rewards.

Because step #1 involves me transferring that ETH to Coinbase (or some other entity with a large enough ETH basis to serve as a trusted staking entity). That is a loan. I don't own ETH anymore, I gave it to Coinbase.

Coinbase creates an "IOU", saying "I promise that dragontamer will get his 10 ETH back", through some system of trust, contracts, databases and whatnot. It doesn't really matter what the details are, the whole thing is an IOU, a promise to return my ETH later.

Similarly, when I deposit $10,000 into a bank (be it a savings account, or money market account), the Bank writes down an IOU saying it owes me $10,000. The bank then sends the money to the market (and worst-case, to the Fed Overnight loans), and lends the money out. Later, I withdraw the money, the bank undoes the process.

--------

The only difference is that ETH doesn't allow you to withdraw the money as often as a savings account or money-market account/fund. So its kind of crappier than a normal savings/money market style loan that goes on.

I guess ETH also gives a different level of rewards, seems to be 4.4% (though denominated in ETH rather than dollars).
Give the actions appropriate names and allow users to remap them. Have a few common layouts you can select from. Allow users to select a language and locale (separately) when they first launch. Refer to the actions not the keys in the documentation, and when you do specify key (e.g. in parenthesis) have it dynamically reflect the current setup.

Seem rather straight forward.

It's a tactics game with perfect information and deterministic actions, which transforms it into a puzzle game if you are inclined to treat it as one. The fact that some puzzles may be unsolvable is incidental (and usually avoidable, if you solve previous puzzles well).

That's not technically correct with regards to PHP. Your statement that any changes to $arr1 or $arr2 only impact the one in question, however, is accurate. If no changes are made they still refer to the same data in memory. It's copy-on-write semantics.

$arr1 = [1,2,3];
// $arr1 is a pointer to a zval array [1,2,3] and refcount:1

$arr2 = $arr1;
// $arr1 and $arr2 are pointers to the same zval array but incremented refcount to 2.

$arr2[] = 4;
// at this point, $arr2 creates a new zval array, copies over the data from the first, sets the recount to 1, and appends int(4). The [1,2,3] array has its refcount decremented to 1 as it's still referenced by $arr1.

> We need a more precise word than "hiring".

I think it's precise. Two terms:

* Hiring -- When you are actually ready to make offers to hire people.

* Pretending -- When you are trying to keep the hiring funnel full, or to give the appearance of business doing well, but not ready to actually make offers.
sure! You can find me on twitter @gui42
It's scary how many people legitimately see this as "freedom".
Came here to say this. Rather than a metric of "how many total jobs have I applied to", a perhaps more effective metric would be "how many high quality applications have I put in, how many opportunities have I been exposed to via referral, how many friends do I have looking on my behalf/providing introductions to hiring managers who are actively hiring".

Blindly applying to listings you find online with no "in", is going to be a lot of applications to get to a single conversion/hire event. Find your buddies, the recruiters who respect your time and expertise, even "friend of a friend" as parent mentioned is worlds better than "just another resume on the stack".
There are a lot of really bad real estate agents, so I understand why you would feel this way. The good ones will act as trusted fiduciaries. Much of 2021 I was telling my investor clients to walk away from some of these houses that didn't make financial sense and to look in other places within our market. At the same time, I was advising my first-time buyers to get off the fence before rates went up and they got priced out of the market. Real estate is no different than any other asset class - there are going to be some products that make sense for some category of buyers, regardless of the bigger market picture. And, there are always going to be people who need to buy / sell for reasons where they don't get to choose their market (IE: mom passes away we need to sell her house, job change, divorce, etc) and it's my job to help get them the best possible outcome.
Return on investment, I suppose.
> Nonetheless, every popular programming language (except Go[1])

... and Rust. Although Rust doesn't have a regex library in std, the official regex crate (I am its author) descends from RE2[1].

> So it's feasible for the engine to optimistically try to use an efficient implementation

Feasible, sure. But not easy or simple. If Python's re2 module uses RE2 by default and Python's regex engine when necessary, then it's very likely that the match offsets it reports are not coherent. RE2 aims to be mostly consistent with things like PCRE, but there are cases where it isn't.

The problem is, building a production grade FSM regex engine or a production grade backtracking regex engine are both huge engineering projects. And there are few, if any, people that know how to do both. They both have their own little specialties and there isn't a ton of crossover among implementors of regex engines.

It's one of those ideas that sounds so stupidly obvious in practice, but when you actually sit down to engineer the thing, it's quite a bit harder than you might imagine.

> (And if you are using them, then I'd argue you're shoving a bit too much logic into a regex, but that's beside the point).

This kind of ignores the fact that regexes are often the interface to something else. If you have a full blown programming language at your fingertips, it's usually not hard to work around the absence of look-around or backreferences by, say, using a second regex or something. But when all you have available to you is, say, a blacklist and you get to provide the regexes to that blacklist, then a more expressive regex syntax becomes a lot more useful. See for example people already running into problems with Discord's new feature: https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/issues/127#issuecomment-1...

Of course, as I noted, it would be very inappropriate for Discord to permit non-regular regexes here. It's borderline already by permitting any regexes at all, because even FSMs have their pathological cases, albeit, not exponential. But if it's a tool you run on your local system? Sure, look-arounds become much more useful.

To be clear, I am pro-FSM and agree with you that they should really be the default regex engine everywhere. But instead, reality is indeed inverted, with backtracking being the default (almost) everywhere. But I wanted to pipe up about a few points that I think you might have not quite captured precisely.

Err, sort of. Beyond Corp isn't really one single service that can be running or down, it's more of an approach, a bunch of different pieces, etc. I haven't seen an outage yet, but I don't think it would look like "the VPN is down", probably more like "this web app thinks I'm logged out".

I do recommend reading the BeyondCorp paper, although it's been a long time since I read it.
