I agree it's not always cut and dry which module to use, or whether to use a module for something extremely simple (which is why I mentioned it being more than a few lines, which should weed out stuff like left-pad I would hope), but I think knowing there is a module and it's suggesting it might be a good first step.

The only thing worse than using a module that has a bug/security problem for a function that's just a few lines and not used again in the codebase is when the content of that function is copied in place instead of being included and nobody has an easy way of knowing whether that's the code that was suggested and included in their project. Worst of both worlds.
It's not level-headed. They've started with the classical Economist premise: gov regulation bad. Then rather than understand or research cypto, they contrast lies told by charlatans against an unmentioned "sceptical" reality. They then conclude with their premise.

This is an exercise in pure ideology, conveys no information, and presents the scam sales-pitch around crypto entirely verbatim.

It is that most common of trap that classical liberals fall into, defending private forces of unfreedom on the basis that they underpin the "free" market. What a bleak picture, and as a defender of free markets, a betray of that world view.

Freedom, as a contingent property of markets, is a careful and precious thing. It requires us to be on the guard against a variety of feudal forces, the pinnace of which could be nothing other than crypto.

Here, The Economist, on the basis of classical liberalism, advocates for a feudalist scam. It's quite saddening.

Maybe it will alleviate the semiconductor shortage.
> Maybe a collapse in this medical loan market?

That won't properly highlight the issue. It's just a financial shell game of bailouts and buying and selling of paper. It doesn't impact the patients. It's not ideal but the only solution is for the patient to be rejected for insufficient funds/inability to pay. Then, when people finally realize they can't get a doctor appointment because they literally can not afford healthcare in our current system, they will expect the government to provide it.

What's funny/ironic to me is that people that are against single payor in the US always like to point to other non-US countries and say how care is restricted or people with cancer/needing surgery are on a long waiting list, etc. I don't know if that's even true but we've all heard it somewhere by now and it becomes a part of their truth (not unlike like politics). And it's what they're most afraid of, being cut out... when not being able to afford something is the very definition of being cut out.
So bad people did bad things to stupid people using made up numbers, so people with guns should take other made up numbers and give them to people with guns, and tell the people with guns to make sure the bad people don’t do bad things to the stupid people, because they know what’s best for them because they’re too stupid and incapable of becoming strong enough for the big scary world?

It's not "no true scotsman".

People here did not own any crypto. It's a simple fact, not some nebulous idea of what is or isn't communism. People gave money to fraudsters, who said "give us money and we'll hold crypto on your behalf", but FTX didn't actually have that crypto. They just ran with the money.
Are there really that many use cases in web development where you absolutely can not live with just using a language with automatic garbage collection?

I can see maybe using Rust for some performance critical parts but for the daily CRUD or API? I don't get how you could justify using it. (In a professional context that is, if it's just for fun, go ahead, of course.)

There are so many amazing backend-languages with huge ecosystems be it Elixir, PHP, Golang, Node or whatever you favorite poison may be. You would miss out on so much productivity.

Rust is amazing but it solves a very specific problem while most of the software world is better off using garbage collected languages.

>Beyond the most hardcore users, skepticism has only increased. Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman wrote that the currency’s tendency to fluctuate has encouraged hoarding. Stefan Brands, a former ecash consultant and digital currency pioneer, calls bitcoin “clever” and is loath to bash it but believes it’s fundamentally structured like “a pyramid scheme” that rewards early adopters.

They were correct on both counts. Since then, proponents have simply stopped trying to sell it as a currency (buy your games in bitcoin! pay your rent in bitcoin! -- that was the initial pitch), and its pyramid scheme structure has only been exploited, not fixed.

>Interesting that Steam solved most of that problems for game distribution though. They have worldwide publishing agreements, regional prices AND good support of local payment providers in many countries. I think a lot of people underestimate how these factors allowed Steam to overtake piracy.

Sadly it is being ruined by people from first-world using VPNs. Many AAA stopped using regional prices and we're stuck paying the same cost as in the first world.
> I do hope it dies out, it should have been heavily regulated from the get go.

On the other hand, if it had been heavily regulated from the get-go, there would be tremendous pressure to bail it out now, so maybe it's for the best that it wasn't regulated by the government.

It would have been nice if there was a countervailing force to the billionaire-savior cults promoting it, but unfortunately our media environment promotes those ideas rather than combat them.
Yes exactly. The “real economy” stopped producing new things since 2008. Growth has been in ephemeral attention economy output to keep the public distracted and not off building local communities that serve the public, but focused on acting as missionaries for the greatness of US capitalism; how amazing is this free market!

I'm not calling foul, and I do advocate for changing the rules. He amassed that position fair and square.

... but that doesn't mean that he gets to keep it either. There's an obligation to society, as much as the libertarian crowd hates to admit it. I think that there was an oversight in the rules, and with new data, we should change the rules. How about 1B max in your IRA? Or 500MM max? or 100MM max?

On the whole, I would consider the police a valuable workforce with some reservations. The vast majority are not performing egregious violations of civil rights. What we see in the news are the exceptions.

That said, I don't see a usable alternative --even considering the abuse. It's a human system--and maybe a remote robotic AI assisted system would be worse-- so it suffers from human fallibility.

A system without police is worse. You will have gangs and vigilantes take over who will be worse than police forces (yes, I know police in Venezuela are indistinguishable from violent gangs --but I'm talking about most police forces in advanced economies). Without a police force you get what we saw in the Wild West and what they got in Somalia --gangs and warlords and outlaws and whatnot.

I'm not saying don't strive for improvement -what I am saying is we must allow discretion (an example of what happens with lack of discretion is what happens with mandatory sentencing)

Even in China, you want a police force over no police and the police in China are even less concerned with civil rights and offer more discretion to the "right" people. In Russia, I would say it's closer to a draw as they are pretty corrupt, but your gangs are still worse.

Thinking in idealistic fashion is an okay exercise but we also need to face reality and the reality is that people cannot "police themselves" adequately.

Despite your tone, actually, yes.
I understand your position but I respectfully think it's unreasonable given that the world isn't aligned on your views, and as such there is competitive struggle between countries. In prior wars, these secretive and competitive advantages were decisive in determining the outcome.

As a US tax payer, would I rather the US use my tax money to keep a competitive edge against would-be competitors? I sure do. Particularly in a world where competitors are authoritarian dictators. If all the other world powers were pacifists and merely had gentlemen's disagreements over minor stuff, perhaps I'd share your views.

That doesn't sound right. Even 95% of max heart rate is sustainable for a long, long time. Intervals one can only sustain for 30s are way above VO2max intensity deep in the anaerobic zone. Heart rate pretty much maxes out on those.
I'm curious, are there any specific parts of the stack that make backend dev harder for you? My experience with async Rust on the backend is that it doesn't really slow me down too much, cause most of the problems are not really relevant there. Functions handling requests are usually of a form: get request data, fetch sth from the database, return a response. In this context you don't really need to care too much about async, lifetimes, ownership etc.

I wish twitter was a French company… it would be hilarious to watch Elon clash with our labour’s laws! At my company a new manager (from the US) was severely scolded for sending an e-mail after working hours (it is prohibited to avoid being pressured working late)! Another time my team was asked with very short notice (around noon) if we could stay late to finish some critical work (compensated)… some people left earlier than usual in protest!
Due to the private nature of these projects, some parts of the projects have to be developed and tested in a secure area. They need the best talent for these programs. To attract the best talent, they can't require a whole family to live in a secure facility. So, they have to bring in the talent from a non-secure area. The most sensible way to do that is by air.

The carbon footprint is not something that is ever going to factor into this arrangement, at least not until there is a very green plane available. I'm all for reducing carbon footprint, but there are about 100,000 flights/day so these two flights (there/back) make up 0.002% of daily air traffic -- it's a drop in the bucket from a carbon footprint standpoint.
> C uses the stack pointer a lot if you use a lot of stack-local variables. Mark all your stuff "static" and it will use immediate addresses instead

Yes, but optimizing compilers are decently good at using registers instead, which is unfortunately not true for less popular targets (which usually means anything other than amd64 and arm64). I think that's what GP was referring to.
Ah, that code was added to the wiki page in 2006 apparently. A modern version is basically the same anyway.

I will (maybe) agree that the python is easier to understand without any language knowledge - but that does not mean the K is not understandable. If you know K, it is understandable, and knowing a language seems like a pretty low bar for understanding it.

Have you actually tested your max heart rate? I work out with a HRM for Zone 2, but I'm just going off of Polar's zones.

From what I understand going more in depth requires either maxing out your HR (Steve House describes how you can do this in Training for the New Alpinism - basically sprinting uphill until you collapse, seems really unpleasant) or doing lactate testing in a lab.
There's a twitter thread by Adam Cochran if you want to read more or less the above, in much longer more detailed format.

But, yeah, in general my opinion based on what I've seen is the business model of FTX was to profit off the destruction of DeFi competitors via purchasing government regulations designed to do so, so one of the guys about to be shut down, took him out first knowing that he was financially extremely vulnerable.

He was already doing everything he could to take CZ down and now he just has less resources to do so, nothing is going to change there.

Another opinion is the meta point of the entire event is middling regulation doesn't work. Locked down central control is boring and unprofitable (well, for everyone not on the "inside") or "wild west nobody trust nobody" works, but FTX was marketing how heavily regulated and thus incredibly trustworthy they were, just don't look too closely at the balance sheet which was pretty much entirely fictional toward the end.
If anyone is looking for an easy way to get their heart rate up to max + exert themselves at max effort without doing anything too crazy, I highly recommend a C2 rowing machine. Set the program to a 5K (or 2K) and do the first half as a warmup, then go all-out for the second half. You'll easily hit your max heart rate and can try to sustain it for a minute.

Doing this only takes 10-20 minutes depending on the length of your warmup, and you'll be working your entire body + cardio + lungs. Just make sure you are using correct form - start slow before going all out.

I run and road bike, but rowing is easily the most efficient way to get into that HR zone quickly. You can do sprints but that's pretty hard on your legs if you aren't an active athlete. Rowing is low impact by comparison.
Best practice is to maintain separate prod and non-prod tiers (isolate by different cloud account or at least vpc/network segregation) but with as much parity as possible between prod and uat.
The problem with allowing piracy will always be that no one really wants to spend money. Just because I have a spare $200 doesn't mean I want to spend it if I don't have to.

If you give people the choice between free and $x amount, 99% of people will choose free. You see this with just about anything that let's people name their own price.

There are protections that vary significantly by state, and it's interesting to look through the variations in policy. Some states exempt a single firearm (regardless of value).

If memory serves right, 401k's are protected by ERISA rules, but many states have IRA protections as well. Iowa exempts the entire homestead up to 1/4 acre in a city, regardless of its value.

Having to deal with all of those items while battling a terrible disease puts someone in a disadvantaged position, but if you're ever in a position to help someone, it is good to be aware what exemptions exist. If your house is exempted, don't do a HELOC to pay medical bills.

Yes but it's used by far for more legitimate stuff. I would argue crypto outside of investing is not.

Also I don't want to ban crypto. I want to crack down on these exchanges which encouraged everyone to gamble on crypto and lost a ton of people money.

The good news is that the problems seem to be confined to the crypto sector. There are a few hedge funds and pension funds with losses, but so far, nobody in "traditional finance" seems to have huge exposure to crypto. So the real world economy keeps on running normally while the crypto sector gets flushed.

How to get people to trust AI predictions
When bitcoin first came onto the scene I personally knew a guy who was running a website to act as an exchange. It was small because bitcoin itself at that time was very small.

Then bitcoin had its very first dip and it became unprofitable to mine bitcoins. When that happened he shuttered the website and kept everyone's bitcoins.

I knew of bitcoin early on due to this guy, but even then I had no interest and considered it bullshit. Then when I saw what this guy did it just solidified my opinion that it can't be trusted.

That's not to say that in theory there aren't uses for it, but it's 100% speculative and nothing else. People try to compare it to things like gold for protecting your money from inflation, but that's completely nonsensical.

If the value of gold crashes it still has an inherent value because it's a useful physical good (looking pretty is not the only application of gold). a bitcoin has ZERO inherent value. It's not possible for the value of gold to go to zero, but it's absolutely possible for the value of a bitcoin to go to zero.

crypto will never go away, but it absolutely should.
The Ontario Teacher's Pension Plan lost around a $100M because of FTX. It isn't that unbelievable that other individuals also put a significant amount of their savings into crypto. The trust for FTX was there.

Cool observation. Fascinating to see how corporate speak spreads and builds off each other. These are like memes in their technical definition - "behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation"

Once a company or two uses these phrases it become politically acceptable to repeat them because they have now been "vetted". Contrarian or outsider views are not well received most of the time despite all of us wanting to believe we're different/unique/contrarian.

The x86-64 extension was made by AMD, though, not by Intel. So if at all the license would have to be obtained from AMD...

Interestingly, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 says this:

That is because it is overwhelmingly used for standard non-shady stuff, like trading legal goods and services. Crypto can't make a similar claim.
