> You roll your eyes, smile and then blatantly and insubordinately forget about it

Do you realize that this is exactly the kind of thing that happens when an extremist and very active minority tries to push its ideas on the silent majority?
The examples in history are abundant and often the outcomes were not very pleasant.
Sort of, at least last summer if you wanted a car here and now there was a premium attached but you could order one for msrp and indefinitely far in the future is pretty accurate as to when it would arrive.
Apk.sh
apk.sh makes reverse engineering Android apps easier, automating some repetitive tasks like decoding, rebuilding and patching.

apk.sh basically uses apktool to disassemble, decode and rebuild resources and some bash to automate the frida gadget injection process.

- Patching APKs to load frida-gadget.so on start.
- Disassembling resources to nearly original form with apktool.
- Rebuilding decoded resources back to binary APK/JAR with apktool.
- Code signing the apk with apksigner.
- Multiple arch support (arm, arm64, x86, x86_64).
- No rooted Android device needed.
Is it more fun to read and talk about the story if it covers existing tropes about rampant drug abuse in the financial industry or more fun to read and talk the story without those tropes?

Is it more fun if the shared story has a clear villain or more fun if the shared story has a diffusive, complex relationship between good and bad between not only the characters but also the readers?

There’s that saying, “a healthy man wants a thousand things, a sick man only one.”

I burnt out so badly I was on short term disability for 3 months. If your health is declining, it’s not worth staying.
The point was that they were introduced to America using colonialism.
There are multiple agencies that BOTH claim the right to regulate crypto AND refuse to actually do so. The SEC in particular is very vocal and brings cases against crypto users. But is actively avoids any case where a court might be asked to rule on whether it actually has the authority or where someone with the money for a real legal battle is the defendant. On top of that, there are 50 state governments all randomly passing non-sense.

This mess is fundamentally the fault of congress which has refused to address the question. And it is congress that should make this decision, not the courts, both in a legal and democratic sense.

As much as I'd like to see regulators dragged over the coals for talking big, and offering (or demanding) registration but actually doing nothing, it's politicians that have watched this grey legal space turn into a black hole and done nothing.
CONUS (can't help but giggle) supposedly stands for Continental United States, as I learnt from a sibling comment here. First time I'm hearing that acronym.

Target is a supermarket chain in USA. I assume Bestbuy is also something like that.

In my browser (Firefox on Android) if I type "tar" it auto-suggests completing the url to "target.com". Useless to me because I'm nowhere close to USA and there's no Target in my country.

Speaking of which, maybe they should have a separate list of autocompletable sites based on the user's location. However, I'm not sure of the privacy implications of that.
I'm not sure what you're asking here - those companies made bank, the execs got bonuses and they're still profitable. From the perspective of capitalism (which cares nothing about humans being fired), over hiring doesn't seem to be a bad choice at all.
This a trick question because 10 line programs are trivial.

I mean, OP asked for a 10 line program showing something that can't be done easily in Rust and actually matters, so he seems to believe 10 line programs aren't trivial.

That said line counts are an awful metric because I could just cram an entire library definition in a single line as if it were minified JS.
It is complicated, and React doesn't help, especially since it started calling useEffect with an empty dependencies array twice in strict mode in React 18. David Khourshid (of XState) has been going to conferences talking about how to use (or, preferably, not to use) the useEffect[0].

> seeing the promotion of rational thought as white supremacist

I think this is conflating "promotion of rational thought" with chauvinism which can be applied to any viewpoint. You could for instance be a Buddhist chauvinist.

I think something is deeply wrong with our educational system. Many people seem entirely incapable of distinguishing between the most basic concepts. Is it due to poor vocabulary? Just not having the right words or not understanding the meaning of words when trying to express concepts? Is it lack of life experience? Confusing things like white supremacy or violence with acts that don't even come close to measuring up to the real thing? Or is it, as many presume, more nefarious and the intent is to simply burn everything to the ground out of the misguided belief that it will be easy (or even possible) to build a new utopia in the ashes?
> Chairs were known in ancient Egypt

He probably means Windsor chairs, the construction and design of which are superior to all other chairs, full stop. They were perfected in the workshops of Philadelphia in the 1700s. They are the pinnacle of chair design and construction.

What the Egyptians (and following cultures) had were benches. Until recently, a chair with a back was a luxury item. It wasn't until the Welsh stick chair, where a poor Welsh farmer during the off-season first crafted himself a chair from the sticks in his hedge, or the Windsor chairs that followed, that common folk had access to such technology.

Yeah but in context of colonialism, it was the Europeans who brought these things over to the Americas. The point is it was a long time ago and everyone today is a product of history good and bad. Trying to change math is silly when so many other aspects of modern life exist because of this history.

I don't think the point is to stop using anything that colonisers invented or disseminated. It's more about teaching awareness of context.
The cheapest local supplier offers used Lenovo Thinkpads X series with 2y warranty, but they have 12 inch display. It seems too small. And other Lenovo thinkpads with 15.6" display are L570 or Yoga series. And they all come with i5 2 processor cores only (and windows preinstalled).
There's an option [1] Lenovo thinkpad E15 gen2 with AMD 4 cores, and the supplier told it is a better option than Dell in terms of durability.

Thanks for relaying that ought-to-be canonical example.

It may not be owed/due, but common decency suggests you give a heads up.

In Intel's case I'm guessing there was a contending motive in that they preferred not to draw attention to it.
So unless you are Egyptian or Byzantine, no chairs or forks for you. 99% right? :)
For me, working for a small/medium company building something real. None of social media, Microsoft, Amazon or Google. Something that builds precision lasers for engineering, something like packaging or manufacturing or warehouse management. That may be boring on the outside and less glamorous than being a "innovation strategist" at TikTok, but these are real, honest, clean jobs that are not ethically questionable and where you test your effectiveness against reality. As long as they are in a stable market you will have job security and decent colleagues around you with pleasant working culture. (Speaking from European perspective).
In crypto as in wall street bets. If your sample is "a bull market when every single week the price is higher than the previous" - then the signal and the noise confirm; if you lose money on monday buy the dip with your client funds - because you cant possibly lose.
What does it take to think of a number? We can certainly refer to particular uncomputable numbers - choose an enumeration of Turing machines, and let x be the real number whose binary expansion has 1 at the i-th place if the i-th Turing machine halts, and 0 otherwise.

Not a loophole. The tribal lands are not in the jurisdiction of the state. This is why they can set their own liquor, tobacco, gambling, etc laws.
I think there's a huge difference with someone who has a huge appetite for risk, and someone who is taking risks, essentially without oversight, while on dopamine-replacing drugs. Many people who work in conventional finance are well aware of how brain chemistry changes (caused by illness, medication, illicit drugs, or emotional and life changes) can push someone from being in control while pursuing risky but profitable strategies to being a degenerate gambling addict.

I suppose even if you are a Korean and/or willing to sign a multi-year contract, owner's ability to have recourse is limited if you decide to break it early and vanish without a trace so high deposits are a more reliable measure to reduce the amount of incidental people.

Whether this has to do with high-trust society or just greed is another question, I like to think it's more of the former but it could be both...
This is partially false, because there isn't one true AZERTY layout. There are various platform implementations, with MS Windows being the most common.

In fact, french standard body AFNOR actually updated their AZERTY layout standard three years ago to include more characters, including the narrow non-breaking space. In traditional ISO-like fashion, one must pay to access this standard, but you can find an example here:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:KB_-_AZERTY_-_AFNOR....

It's mapped to AltGr + Maj + Space. Now you just need to find how to install/enable this layout on the platforms you care about.
Agreed. I'm sure that the NYT checks that its twitter sources have the little blue check mark before publication.

You really think that when they mentioned the dynamically allocated `Vec` in Rust (which has fixed-sized arrays) and "manual memory management" in C, what they were actually talking about was a static array?

Uniswap is a good application of smart contracts. Your comments explicitly suggest that Uniswap would be better run on something like sqlite, which needs a centralized owner, which is functionally the same as replacing a DEX with a CEX.

From what I understand (only seen a game, not played it), League of Legends is more similar to Starcraft where it's about strategy, knowledge and timing than the necessary very fast reaction times of teenagers found in a first player shooter.

You would expect even retired people to be good at the game if they played enough.

Regardless, playing video games, doing drugs, looking dishevelled and being over weight are all visible signs of some kind of internal disorder. Most people don't wear their disorder visibly, they either learn to hide it or it doesn't reveal itself physically. In this episode it's like the signs are treated as a good sign - of creativity.

-ize

> a verb-forming suffix occurring originally in loanwords from Greek that have entered English through Latin or French (baptize; barbarize; catechize); within English, -ize is added to adjectives and nouns to form transitive verbs with the general senses “to render, make” (actualize; fossilize; sterilize; Americanize)

It's not about performance or risk management, it's about due diligence. They should not be giving any amount of money to an organization with such poor internal checks of their finances.
The phrase "punctuality and logical objectivity (were|are) "white expectations" not to be applied to persons of color" does not appear anywhere in that image, nor does any assertion of the kind.

It's just a (somewhat stereotypical - "bland is best," really?) list of the aspects of Western culture which the author believes derive from "white culture." It doesn't even present these points as negative.

If one were to criticize it, one could point out the degree to which many so-called "white cultural" ideals were founded on a religion not created by white people (Christianity) and non-Judeo-Christian (Greek and Hindu) philosophy and ideals. The European cultural complex didn't arise in a vaccuum.

Also that many of those bullet points seem to be so vague as to be universal. For instance, I doubt white people alone recognize the existence of cause and effect, respect for authority or patriarchy.

But the general premise - that the constructs of white culture (to the degree that it exists, which itself is debated) are considered default in American society, as a function of white supremacy reinforcing that default on all races and suppressing cultural variance in the name of conformity to a white-derived normativity - is correct.
These things keep popping up left and right. I can think of atleast 6 no-code / low-code platforms all focussed on internal tools. Somehow they are all profitable, retool a bit more since it went to a "better school". Interesting space.

> I'm going to channel the efficient market hypothesis (I apologize) here and say that people have done that cost comparison and not one of them bought mainframes. Heck, Google ported their entire monorepo to Power but not to z.

Nah, there are a ton of businesses of all sizes across the world with many man-years of effort put into writing software that runs on various layers of the IBM stack from Cobol on up.

For one regional grocery store I know of they started in the 70s. Let's average 10 developers on staff churning out 4GL, Cobol, and whatever else since 1979. I hear it runs webservices now to serve the desktop and mobile client apps.

10 engineers * 43 years = 430 man-years put into a pile of software highly customized to exactly how they do business, from corporate & accounting to the warehouses to the ice cream factory to the industrial-scale bakery to the retail stores. Every single process at the company driven by mountains of custom software. The thing that knows more people buy Texas Toast at Store #473 so it prompts the manager to order extra and the bakery to put an extra Texas Toast run into the already tight schedule? Yeah that runs on the IBM mainframe... because that's where the cash register sales data goes and where the managers handle orders and where warehouse tickets are printed and where the bakery solves the traveling salesman problem to create schedules around quickly expiring products (did I mention the delivery truck schedules also run on the mainframe?).

If we assume it would "only" take 10% of the effort to replace, mythical man-month is not a problem, and you can handle dual-running the integrated systems for the decade it will take to perform the swap... you saved a year of your on-staff developer's salaries while putting every part of your business at risk of exploding (and ceasing all improvements to the existing stack lest you chase a moving target)... and you end up with something more or less equivalent except on commodity hardware.

$1m for IBM hardware? $5m? $10m? Pfffffffttttt... Chump change. Where do I sign the check? Sold and sold. Don't even bother sending a rep out.

Tesla (and fixed-price car sellers like CarMax) are profiting handsomely squarely off of your inability, unwillingness or fear of negotiating. They just bake the full profit right into the up-front price and wait for people like yourself, happy to pay full price. Your loss.

I think they may be referring to the contemporary activism that promotes the 'gender identity' model of transsexualism, which does bear some hallmarks of cult-like behaviour.

There is historical evidence of cross-dressing, and of people (mostly men) being prescribed different societal roles that were apparently based on being effeminate. As far as I am aware, there is no evidence that such people were treated as if they were actually the opposite sex, as gender activists these days propose.

This conflates dealerships with the ability/right to repair. I think dealerships are absolute scum but am completely on-board with enabling 3rd party mechanics to repair vehicles.

Dealerships don’t even ensure you don’t have the same vendor lock-in issues (getting modern ICE foreign cars repaired in small cities/towns can be a nightmare).

Decolonise to me means depopulate. I originally thought the article was talking about removing people from maths (teachers?)

Elon musk colonises mars.

Elon musk decolonises mars.

Colony is a fairly A-political word to me.

Colonial has political connotations.

So if I wanted to talk about the political elements of the times when colonys were a thing would say colonial. And variations of that word.

As we are talking about politics, it seems that colonial seems to be the better word.

If I wanted to talk about setting off across the Atlantic and setting up a base, I would describe that as a colony, and the continuing process of that would be colonisation. If I wanted to talk about the negative impacts on the indigenous population, I would describe that as colonialism and the process by extension, colonialisation.

Googling around I'm obviously in a minority as far as word usage goes, and I'm surprised I haven't come across this before. It still seems strange how decolonise was the work settled on though.

I'm sure they are doing (or at least were doing) fractional reserve banking as well. They have their own token just like FTX, wihch is a bad sign. Maybe right now they are working on fixing it.

Kraken is one of the few exchanges that provide proof of reserves, which is basically just a Merkel tree of all user assets which users can use to check that the exchange holds their money. This is not just trivial to implement, there are open source implementations that exchanges could just use and prefer not to.
Some are, and this should be reviled - but is there evidence that this is a widespread practice amongst believers, as one might expect if it was a cult behaviour?

I got the impression that it is only a handful of individuals who are doing this, for example that guy who recently had a large cloud services provider shut down a website that exposed his unsavoury activities in this space.
