I am sorry, but I think I am missing something here: isn't the "double spend problem" actually needing to be resolved by the choice of including one specific transaction (and no others), from a set of conflicting ones, truly relevant (vs. irrelevant)?
Okay, according to this article[1], you need a "nest egg" of $2 million to have a retirement income of $80k per year. In 2021[2] the median household income was about $70k. The average household size[3] in the US is currently around 2.5 people, so let's round this up to 3. The poverty line[4] for a 3 person household in 2022 is roughly $23k, for 2 people it's roughly $18k.

Let's say we want a nest egg allowing a two-person household to have a retirement income of $60k: quite a bit below the median household income in the US but still considerably above the poverty line, a net positive considering you don't need to work for a living as long as you don't plan for either one of you to live for more than 30 years.

$60k is 75% of $80k, so that nest egg shrinks down to a mere $1.5 million dollars. But you should aim to live on 80% of your pre-retirement salary, so your pre-retirement salary should therefore have been $75k. In order to get there you need to set aside 15% of that $75k household salary (including any 401(k)s) every year, or just shy of $12k, leaving you with $62k actual income after retirement savings or $5.2k per month for the household (you, your spouse, any children, rent, cost of living and savings for emergencies like health, maintenance or replacements).

If that doesn't sound so bad, consider that this is for someone living just above the median and aiming to maintain a similar standard of living. The further your household income is below the median, the more painful those 15% will be and the only reward will be to get to live in the same level of distress just with a more reliable stable income (assuming it doesn't get eaten up by other expenses you couldn't save for or that arise as a consequence of your already low standard of living, e.g. health issues).

So if that's the "best case" prospect, can you imagine why the chance to become a "millionaire" (and remember: a $2 million nest egg represents a $80k retirement income, a good $10k above the median household income) might be more enticing to a significant chunk of the population than the safer more reliable investments that will at best help them maintain their meager standard of living as long as they don't have any unforseen emergencies?

The exact numbers here are entirely irrelevant. Jobs with higher income generally also offer better options for investment and retirement plans, jobs with low income may not even offer a 401(k). Low income also means any expense represents a larger percentage of your income because costs don't scale linearly, especially when it comes to essentials (e.g. gas prices are the same for everyone and a cheap car may actually get worse mileage and require more frequent repairs compared to a newer model that may still be in warranty).

All DOS mouse drivers were TSRs. The driver would hook INT 33h (which is the mouse driver "API" entrypoint) and whatever IRQ (ie. 4 or 12) that the actual hardware used. The IRQ handler would then update the driver's internal state according to data received from the mouse and if enabled draw the mouse cursor into frame buffer and/or call registered user event function (which runs in the interrupt context).

If you are going to cheat those achievements then you might as well use Steam Achievement Manager to get all of them without messing with your system time. Or just don't bother, but can't fault anyone for succumbing to Steam's psychological manipulation.

Not strictly true e.g. I pay for Pycharm.
This is a pretty good point too.

It's interesting that millions of people will probably read stuff about "eye contact = trust/attention", when in fact this is a complex topic.

Reminds me of the pseudoscience on how "touching your face or nose is a sign of deceit". Turns out almost everyone is no better than chance at spotting deceit. But judges, cops, school teachers etc... have all been relying on this kind rule to change the course of other people's lives.
A couple of things off the top of my head.

— advanced refactoring for all supported languages: implement interface, extract interface, automatic "generification" for methods and classes, stuff like that. Saves quite a bit of manual typing.

— built-in database client (which I have already mentioned) which also provides autocompletion for database/table/column names, both for SQL queries, and various supported libraries like ORMs.

— navigation (jump to definition/declaration, find all references, etc.) works everywhere: any supported programming language, XML, files like JSON schema, YAML, you name it. For example, you can put the cursor to a primary key of a table, press your "find all references" shortcut, and it will show the list of all foreign keys referencing that primary key. Same with things like URLs on the client side (for example, the first argument to the browser's fetch() function) — put the cursor on the URL, press "jump to definition", and it will jump to the controller method that implements that URL, including the correct HTTP verb if there are multiple method for that URL. This is just one example, there are dozens of little things like that. All that makes it much easier to work with fullstack projects (to me at least).

— the UI and its "control interface" (so to speak) is consistent. For example, you use the same key combination to jump through search results, list of issues, list of references, etc. etc. Same for other key combinations — they jump make sense, you press what you think will work and it usually just works.

— it also supports fuzzy search everywhere, not just in the command palette. For example, you open up the list of databases, start typing in the name of the table (or database, or foreign key, or procedure, or whatever), and it highlights matching entries and lets you jump between them. Press Up and Down to go though its suggestions. The same mechanism works in filesystem tree, search results, issue list, and so on.

> JetBrains UI is downright cluttered

All of that can be hidden. I have the filesystem tree to the side, the main editor taking 90%+ of screen real estate, and the tab bar on the top, everything else is hidden behind a keypress.

> As for keyboard use, the command pallete (Ctrl+Shift+P) is right there and should be able to do anything

This is not the same at all. Everything can be done through keyboard shortcuts without typing in obscure commands (even though fuzzy search helps, it's pretty slow).

You should use what you think is convenient, I'm not forcing anyone. The more pressure you put on JetBrains by using the alternatives, the better for us.

I dunno about that, I had a Performa 5200 in the late 90s[0], and I think I was getting at least one "System Error Type 11 [Restart]" per week.

I think I still prefer the Classic MacOS UI over modern styles, but I'm not sure how much of that is "greymuzzle has rose-tinted memory of childhood" vs. "skeumorphism is genuinely useful as it makes it clear what things are buttons vs. labels".

Such things exist but are incredibly expensive.

For example, I can't remember where I saw it (some show I saw like 20 years ago), but some really expensive industrial process has a vacuum sealed double walled vessel. Basically, a Hydroflask shaped like an oven. It had low thermal conductivity, but the hard part was keeping the thermal expansion from cracking it open.

I have no idea how things work under the hood, but this doesn't match my experience as a user. If I'm in the bedroom and ask to turn the lamp off, and phones are around, the phone screens sometimes lit up as they are listening to the command, but then only the bedroom Google Home actually executes it, while the phones turn their screen back off without saying anything.
It's "statement exprs": "A compound statement enclosed in parentheses may appear as an expression in GNU C. This allows you to use loops, switches, and local variables within an expression.

Indie movies can range anywhere from $100k-$15M+, it’s a big range.

But I understand your point— mid-budget studio movies (romcoms especially) have been hit the hardest by the pivot to Marvel mania and cinematic universes. Unfortunately that’s as much because of audience preference as it is studios.

In Italy a famous news website is using blockchain since 2020 to, I quote literally: "help readers check source of news", "strengthen bonds of trust between its organization and its readers and customers", "trace the history and source of each news item."

Reading about this, it seems that Automattic is trying to revive Tumblr (which was severely mismanaged in Verizon/Oath days), not for WordPress or other ventures. Good luck to them, but I fear that the ship has already sailed.
The ones I failed on were all on the search box because this is such an incredibly bad design unless you are using an incredibly high contrast screen in the dark. I'm sat here using a pretty decent gaming laptop with a good screen and I can barely see the difference between the white search box and the grey background. Whenever I'm doing any UI design work (or assessing something developed outside) I have a cheap and nasty AOC monitor with crappy contrast hooked up and at an angle as a second monitor, so I can see how it will look on the type of monitors a lot of people use. If it looks good on that and on my nicely colour calibrated screen great. If I can barely see it, its not getting shipped.

There is no indication of Musk increasing compensation. His retention plan seems to be based on the assumption that the top engineers are attracted to his cult of personality, not to pay them better. (Or to even pay them competitively; anecdotally it seems that the senior engineers leaving Twitter have been getting significantly higher comp in their new roles.)

These are always so weird. Massive structures with few moving parts.

Imagine 10 km long flexible tube floating on ocean surface. They have one-way valves for every 10 meters. The tube sucks in water and as waves roll along, the pressure rises and on the coast a simple turbine harvests this energy. Imagine thousands of these tubes along British coast.
In short, they didn't have accounting. Nor where their books audited. FTX is a great example of ehy banks, and every other company, has regular audits of their books. As is Wirecard, but they didn't steal customers money.

Just compare the "balance sheets" SBF prepares to a proper audited one, and the differences are clear as day. One can grab any audoted balance sheet from any publicly traded US company of the SEC website, I'd pick one from a financial insitution.

If the database is distributed you have no way of enforcing that the other peers don't keep shadow copies of the data that is supposed to be deleted.

If you know you can trust all your peers to act in good faith, then you might as well just use a regular database as none of your peers will edit old records due to being good actors.
If they add every revision on it, it could be interesting, but i doubt they do that.

One interesting thing I have been seeing recently is newspapers quickly changing news a few hours after they posted it, in reaction to public opinion of said news (or maybe some editorial "request").

In th BBC its quite egregious, they have been posting some news, and a few hours later changing the headline and the photo, to either something meaner and an uglier photo of the same person, or the opposite, a much more neutral/flaterring headline and a PR photo of the person.

If those changes were on the blockchain, UK citizens could demand their money back for what they pay for the BBC as it is a ridiculous practice that should not be paid by taxes. But again, I doubt the Italian newspapers saves their own slanted coverage for their own users to see.

And Wirecard was a clear fraud. They didn't steal customers deposits so. And, all in all, Wirecards accounting was lightyears better than FTXs, Wirecard held bank liscenses which requires proper book keeping of assets and deposits.
The point is that it does not matter which one is included, only that it's only one of the choices that all agree on. Which one that is is not relevant, there is no part of the algorithm that determines one transaction to be "more valid" than another one. There is no ranking of transactions, one of them has to be picked but which one it is can be random, as long as there is agreement.

You were guessing that an AI could increase efficiency, using numbers which show you know nothing about the topic.

Primes have lots of order and patterns, so references to chaos and "no such order exists" aren't really relevant.

As to "why" - this is recreational mathematics. It's because people find it fun or engaging. And it isn't special - recreational mathematics covers far more than just primes. There's a lot of people who love calculating digits of pi, as one clear example.

You can't deduce that people don't care about the "woke" aspect because some movies are still popular, Disney could have made other movies that weren't "woke", that may or may not have been more popular.

Others in this thread have mentioned that China's kept some Marvel movies out due to "LGBTQ representation". Suggesting that they omit that goes against my own biases.

But I don't see how a CEO could make the financial case that doing so wouldn't be worth catering to those large foreign markets.
> Read up on git internals, it's a very elegant and simple design and you seem to assume a few things about it that are flat out wrong.

I am well acquainted with git internals and object types, which include blobs, trees, commits, and tags. But I do acknowledge that I was wrong about git not hashing the object's contents – it does.

> A git repository is in fact a Merkle tree. Every commit is chained to the previous commit via a hash that includes the commit content and the hash of the previous commit.

Commits in git are grouped into commit trees that form a single atomic commit, and git allow manipulations of the commit trees, which is fundamentally unacceptable for an immutable, verifiable ledger. That is why I am asserting that git is not an acceptable technology for a ledger.

> You can of course modify your local copy of a git repository and rewrite history (i.e. change all the hashes). But that makes it incompatible with upstream history.

I have personally squashed commits in my local project copy and force pushed such a squashed commit into a upstream repository thereby completely decimating the commit history in the upstream repository. Previous commit history was completely gone every single time. It is an occasionally useful feature (i.e. fixing mistakes of young developers), but the commit history rewrite is absolutely unacceptable in the compliance world. Just the fact that there is direct, unabridged write access to the history or to the storage where the history is recorded makes such a solution untenable as a ledger database.

I do concede that there are some conceptual similarities between git and ledger databases at the architectural level; I do, however, vociferously dispute the suitability of git as a foundation for building a ledger database without a substantial rewrite of the git foundation.

Why should an multinational IT company aiming at developers talk in a local language? How does a heritage of founders matters? Google is half a russian company by that metric, as in "Sergey Brin".

JetBrains is a Czech company because it was created in Czech Republic and is operated from Czech Republic. They've had significant development resources in pre-war Russia, like many big companies, because it was a cheap and good. As the war started, they've rescued whoever they could and closed their russian offices.
I don't fully agree. I do think it's a pretty bad and predatory industry but there's a tiny bit of value.

It does provide good estimators of probabilities of real world events. Like if someone would ask me how likely it is that team X will win the world cup I'd look up the betting odds. In general, if there's a betting market for something I'd always use the odds as placeholder until I can come up with a better estimate (which quite frankly seems unlikely). If I were to build an ML model that tries to predict something with a betting market that would be the baseline I'd measure against for example.
