It's a tool like anything else. If you use it right, it can allow you to do certain things better than you could on paper.

I used an iPad to take notes on PDFs of lectures and textbooks when possible. Was incredibly helpful, and searching worked faster than flipping pages. The stylus is very accurate as as easy to write with as paper.

Eventually found an app called Notability to takes notes that stayed in sync with audio recording of the lecture. Helped a ton concentrating on what was being spoken instead of trying to transcribe it, and revisiting areas of confusion.
Blizzard brought me some of the greatest joys of my childhood. I remember playing warcraft 1 in all it's 8-bit glory, I loved W3, I am playing my way through Diablo 2 again right now. But it just feels like right around the time of WoW they started to change and it became a priority on revenue over producing good games.

It seems like that is the inevitable result of any successful creator(s) they labor out of love and a joy for what they make and then once they get big enough MBA, managerial types, that are focused on metrics and numbers come in and like a parasite feed on the success of those who labored for love before eventually leaving it an unrecognizable bloated rotting carcass of it's former self.

Is there anyway to build something successfully that contributes to the world without it being subsumed by management culture?
Most likely. But they are shooting missiles near Poland. If ignored it could lead to this becoming normal. Testing boundaries.

If not ignored it could be serious consequences up to and including WW3.

While probably not. It’s scary when you have line in the sand and people and tap dancing next to it with finger on nuke buttons.
Molly White, David Gerard and a few other academics and researchers did a 'correction' of a recent NY Times fluff piece from March 2022 here.

It seems as if NYT have a couple of relatively pro-crypto (or just naive) writers.

I love it too, though I wish that along with it there was renewed interest in Gameboy game development. There are GB game-jams, but more-often-than-not the results of those just languish in obscurity rather than seeing any community attention; and so there's no incentive to put any polish into these titles. (There's nobody trying to make anything like David Murray's Planet X3 for the GB scene.)

I feel like something that would really kick such an ecosystem off, would be some sort of wi-fi-enabled GB/GBC flash-cart, which boots to Mario-Maker-like UX for downloading, playing, and reviewing (liking/disliking, making playlists of, etc) bite-sized GB/GBC experiences from a community-maintained cloud service; where the supply side of that cloud service would be easy upload integration with tools like GB Studio.
This. I’ve been wilderness backpacking for a long time and still carry a 2m radio just for fun, but the usefulness is limited in a lot of places. If you’re climbing up a mountain in NH you can pretty much hit a repeater from anywhere, but if you’re trekking around in Big Bend State Park in Texas you can forget it. Satellite communication is much better and if you can’t afford a few hundred bucks for some kind of satcom then you probably shouldn’t be going out too deep into some of these places.
I've thought for 20 years that the Life Recorder is inevitable. I figured it would be like journaling constantly, getting insight and guidance to improve.

Now I think it will result in unbearable self-consciousness. You will yearn to be offline, quiet, to just forget, maybe to enjoy the moment without it going in your permanent history.

Arguments in relationships are messed up when you can rewind and debate what he said she said. The actual words are often not important, it's the emotions. The permanent record makes it harder to forgive and move on. It's like being in court, everything transcribed.

Sapling originated from the Mercurial open source project, which was largely Python (at the time). To make things faster and more maintainable, we started rewriting portions of it in Rust, and going through a binding layer to interact with Python. Critical pieces like the storage layer, parts of the wire protocol, and various others are all in Rust at this point, while a lot of the high level business logic remains in Python. We'll continue to shift more to Rust over time though, especially since pure-Rust Sapling commands feel way more snappy and pleasant to use.

It's hilarious that SBF is tweeting without the slightest apparent concern of jail nor the fact that he stole $B of deposits by international customers, many of which may have connections to organized crime.

The closest comparable person I can think of was Madoff, and he had the leverage that at least most of his customer's money wasn't actually destroyed so his cooperation worth a lot. I honestly don't know that SBF has anything to bargain to the legal system or his angry, often crime involved, customers as it appears he destroyed basically all of their money. I'm not saying he should be terrified, but personally I would feel very terrified I were in that position.

I think his best outcome at this point is some form of plea that incudes witness protection program in exchange for un-"hacking" the remaining $600M.
The site is down so I can only speculate what it recommends. Whatever it is, I suspect it is not a list of suggestions for how to avoid nuclear disasters altogether. Because that is simply not in vogue. It seems we must all accept as something inevitable to have the specter of millions dead, if not billions, if not life as we know it, hanging over our heads for time eternal.

Because we as humans are seemingly only endowed with creative and innovative thinking when it comes to advertising, crypto scams or new JS frameworks, etc. When it comes to accomplishing something as basic as survival we seem to revert thoughts and prayers, and amassing even more weapons. It's frankly a mystery.
If you’ve not seen it, I present to you the lyrics to the song “All Star”, by Smash Mouth - translated from English to Aramaic, then back to English:

There was one who said unto me that the universe was going to cause me to tremble,
That I am not the sharpest cutting implement in the storehouse.

She had the appearance unto me as a stupid one,

With her finger and her thumb

In the frame of a Greek gamma upon her forehead.

Behold, the years begin coming, and do not cease from coming.

Fed unto the axioms, and I fell upon the earth and ran.

It was not acceptable if not to live for the sake of pleasurable things.

Your brain increases its wisdom, but your heart increases its stupidity.

A great amount to do, a great amount to see,

Therefore, there is no difficult problem if we take the streets of the backside.

You will not know if you do not go.

You will not shine if you do not glow.

Behold currently! You are entirely a star child! Begin your power! Go! Laugh!

Behold currently! You are a master of the music! Begin your singing! Acquire your wages!

All that sparkles is gold!

Comets alone shatter the frame!

The OW2 backlash was "you re-released a game with almost no changes for a bunch of money and you want us to just.. buy it?"

Although to be fair I guess that's what CoD does every year. Hmm.

But Blizzard has been spending its goodwill for years. Ever since, I think, ever WoW expansion was worse and more pay-to-win than the last.
Ya, I’ve been following the Howey Test and SECs read on it since ‘17 when it really started to surface with ICOs.

You copy/pasted the types of speeches I’m referring to.

“everything in crypto with a live issuer behind it is probably a security.”… This claim is still a massive overstatement from a regulation-informed perspective. Everything in crypto extends beyond “much of the NFT” market.

In ‘18, SEC chairman says ETH and BTC aren’t securities. Pre-merge, eth wasn’t a security to Gensler. Post-merge, it was. So then what about the many ETH-clones that didn’t do PoS and stuck with PoW/not-a-security ETH design. Also, “eth might be a security” came up in Sept ‘22. SEC and the chairman have changed minds in significant ways within that time period many times over since ‘09 and the whitepaper.

It’s nowhere near cut and dry as you’re making it to be, but I won’t devolve into an argument about it and instead say there’s more info to this than your views indicate you’ve researched.
Same question applies for any photograph you take in public. Isn't the fact that the people are in public material to whether or not they can be recorded? That's different than calling them on their phone and recording that conversation.

I mentioned it in another reply but this is discussed in The Every by Dave Eggers, there is essentially an entire area of San Francisco that is deliberately kept free of any and all devices that can record A/V and in order to enter you have to deposit your phone and be wanded to detect surreptitious recording devices.
It doesn’t matter how thoroughly you do your double entry accounting if you can’t trust the statement (or there is no statement) you reconcile against. Or no one ever tries to reconcile shit.

“ The government are very keen on amassing statistics. They collect them, add them, raise them to the nth power, take the cube root and prepare wonderful diagrams.

From what I understand your webserver and php implementation is stored on different servers from PlanetScale's DBs(?)

Just wonder: How are the DB queries from your php implementation to the Planetscale DBs affected by network latency (hops and length between servers) as well as bandwidth (query results returned by PlanetScale DBs)?

Thanks! :-)
This looks really great. Happy to see SQL Server support there.
The article somehow jumps from defining boiler plate (the metal) to its use as slang in printing. Is there a bit missing?
"Sluga Narodu", a series where current Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, plays the main character, is about a man who became a president, and wants to do things right. One of his problems is where to find a good team in the country not known for established working procedures to find government professionals. After some attempts he settles on bringing his former colleagues - in fact, high school mates - who might be not the best professionally suited, but have other useful characteristics.

It's a movie, sure, but the problem of creating a good team doesn't look particularly obvious.
I use HEAD as my staging area, and do all the normal staging-area things, but without the weirdness that comes from the staging area being a different concept to a commit (ie, the diff command Just Works, no need for a separate `--staged` flag to enable special behaviour for that case)

Almost like in Lehmans case, transparency and clear accountability were at least somewhere important.

Less so for FTX.
Google isn’t far behind either. Perhaps corporate-owned open-source ecosystems weren’t a great idea.
I don't know how you got that from the points I've made. I'm also noticing the past two replies to my original comment don't attempt to address, debate, or refute any of the points I've made.

I understand what you're saying but the result is the same and it's little consolation to the people who lose their money.

If you get mugged and someone steals your wallet (FTX, crypto wallet, or physical wallet) = money gone.

If you lose your wallet (physical or crypto) = money gone.

If you get handed a counterfeit bill (physical hack) and it's detected and confiscated later = money gone (best analogy I could come up with for a DeFi hack).

In any of these cases if those funds were needed to buy groceries for your kids or pay your rent the end result is the same. Whatever philosophical point you and the last commenter are trying to make means absolutely nothing to the very real people in the very real world who are significantly impacted by these events. People work for their money and the blase attitude and callousness shown towards victims in this space is very disturbing. We wouldn't remotely be having this discussion if someone gets robbed at gunpoint (victim of a crime) vs FTX (victim of a crime), DeFi hack (victim of a crime), wallet hack (victim of a crime), etc.

In the real world outside of crypto these events are exceedingly rare. I've been mugged once and I'm an outlier. I report credit card fraud and it just goes away. I've never had a bank fail. I've never lost access to a bank, trading, etc account. I've never had a negative experience with a wire transfer. I could go on and on while meanwhile all of these things and worse are a daily occurrence for an outsized portion of people involved in crypto.

The FTX failure alone is estimated to have impacted 1 million people. Celsius has 100,000 creditors. Who knows with DeFi, crypto wallets, etc but as I said originally I personally know an order of magnitude more people who have encountered these issues than the equivalents in the traditional financial system (real world).
Not quite, Accounting tends to dislike money sitting somewhere that cannot be accessed. It's hard to classify and track over time. But yes, Accounting also likes to see revenue increase.
The article does mention an intentional long exposure photographer... Michael Wesely - https://wesely.org

He has some neat multi year photographs too.

When I was considering the "how do you do this" (aside from reciprocity failure), the phrase "its only 3 stops from a one day exposure to a 1 week exposure..." And then you go from there.
> It's like the existence of 40+ year old Harry Potter fans...Hard to explain unless you acknowledge that many people are simple.

That's a weird take. I read the books as an adult and they were genuinely entertaining. What's hard to explain about that? It's not as if books marketed to children are the only things I read, but I've read a lot of children's books as an adult that were delightful.

Why judge people as being simple? I hope you aren't afraid to try something that isn't marketed to your demographic out of fear that people will think the same of you. Most people aren't so weirdly judgey, and people afraid to step outside of the boundaries drawn for them by marketers are probably missing out on creative works they'd really enjoy.
And it better be in VR.
I think most people expected more and instead got less is the gist of the situation. I'm pretty surprised they released a game with less features, the same maps, and didn't deliver on many of the promises.
The one pain point on the DS Lite is that if you want to put in an actual, physical GBA cartridge it sticks out. Everything else is great.

If I had to guess, it's probably because most people love a cute easter-egg and this story was someone excited to have had their project noticed and implemented by Microsoft, off whom it was based; and your comment on the matter is that easter-eggs are stupid and outdated.

According to Wikipedia existing electrolysis systems are between 70-100% efficient. It's not fundamentally difficult to do (when I was a kid I made a "rechargable bomb" that would fill a balloon with hydrogen+oxygen and blow it up) but if you are doing it at scale you are going to be very concerned about capital cost and energy efficiency so there is room for improvement.
> completely incompatible with the "Russia running out of missiles" narrative

I haven't seen anyone saying that Russia is running out of S-300. Other precision systems yes, but not S-300, which would explain the reports of them using S-300 to target land targets both in Kharkiv and Kherson.

No idea what happened here btw, just pointing out why they might be using them. Also, mistakes and malfunctions happen.
Russia is free at any time to withdraw their forces. If Russia launches a single nuke, at any point, that is their fault, their choice, and their responsibility.

Not necessarily more important than the company, but you got my drift perfectly. Many CEOs would get you into Siberia and released over a period of months, quietly. Not this one, and I think everyone knew that ahead of time.
Likewise, if we go back to 1995, and tell a tech-fearing farmer that within 20 years he and all his salt-of-the-earth colleagues would soon be voluntarily (and gladly!) carrying in their back pocket (in the form of a cell phone) a small cheap generic device connected 24/7 to global corporate networks, with built-in high def cameras, microphones, location detectors, and data gatherers, and would casually store much of their personal and financial information within them.

They would find that notion preposterous. But now, some short years later, they would give it barely a thought.

> In 2001, media watchdog FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting) criticized Stossel for his coverage of global warming in his documentary Tampering with Nature. According to FAIR, Stossel used “highly selective […] information that gave center stage to three dissenters from among the 2,000 members of the UN‘s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which recently released a report stating that global temperatures are rising almost twice as fast as previously thought.”11
Simple that way? Yes, probably.

Tracing the actual on the ground transactions and seeing where each dollar went, and figuring out the mechanisms used to actually lift said dollars?

That’s what this discussion is about, and it’s not as clearly understood right now.

`sl histedit` is very similar to `git rebase -i` if you're famiilar with that interface which works just fine.

Other commands useful for amending changes to previous commits:

* `sl goto --merge <hash>` - if theres no conflicts you can just switch commits with pending changes and those pending changes would be applied on top of other commit. If there are conflicts this command would fail https://sapling-scm.com/docs/commands/goto

* `sl absorb` - this automagically finds the last commit that touched the lines that are pending and amends that commit with them https://sapling-scm.com/docs/commands/absorb
The starting point is the assumption that FTX's equity sales left them with a few billion and Alameda's trading left them with a few billion. You have to burn through these billions and then dig a ten billion dollar hole.
