I've generally seen three approaches to this:

- use cloud offerings because it's easy to integrate with them and they're one of the better options out there; which isn't viable in some contexts, or when you don't have money allocated for this
- setup the full Elastic Stack or Sentry, or something enterprise like that and have your stack be composed of multiple interconnected pieces of software, that need constant maintenance or even people to constantly manage them, as well as a non-insignificant amount of resources
- go for a lightweight offering, like JavaMelody for Java applications, or some of the simpler fully featured stacks, like Apache Skywalking and try to make do with their more limited feature sets and possibly more limited documentation

For me, Apache Skywalking feels "good enough", although definitely not perfect: https://skywalking.apache.org/

The Docker Compose stack for it doesn't look as complicated as that of Sentry, it's basically an almost monolithic piece of software like Zabbix is and it works okay. The UI is reasonably sane to navigate and you have agents that you can connect with most popular languages out there.

That said, the UI sometimes feels a bit janky, the documentation isn't exactly ideal and the community could definitely be bigger (niche language support). Also, ElasticSearch as the data store feels too resource intensive, I wonder if I could move to MySQL/MariaDB/PostgreSQL for smaller amounts of data.

Then again, if I could make monitoring and observability someone else's problem, I'd prosper more, so it depends on your circumstances.
I own a LinnStrument and it's fantastic. I created a custom note layout for it to make it easier to play: https://github.com/flipcoder/linnstrument-wholetone. The firmware is also open source. It feels like the Linux of instruments.
IntelliJ suite is like 120$ a year, is that too much out of developer pay?
For the mersenne project (searching for prime numbers that are 110 million bits in size) GPUs are quite efficient.

One of the algorithms used, called PRP (probable prime), which uses the reciprocal of Fermat's little theorem (a^(p-1)==1 mod p if p is prime) involves computing 3^p mod p (where p is a 110million bits number). This is called "modular exponentiation", and is done efficiently with FFTs (Fast Fourrier Transform, used to implement multiplication, thus squaring).

The FFT of 110Mbits can be implemented efficiently on GPUs. The key for keeping the hot data in GPU registers or caches is "locality of data access". Although the FFT algorithm is non-local by excellence (has a tendency to access all the data all the time), it can be split into "blocks" which have a smaller hot-data size. And this allows efficient GPU implementations.

The problem with R49081 may be that it's a small number, thus hard to fill all the processing units of the GPU with the amount of parallel work the algo offers at this size. Another problem may be that the algorithm involving eliptic-curves is more complex, thus more work is needed to express it in GPU terms.

People saying a database is as good as a blockchain are taking a look from the wrong perspective.

Blockchains are more like always available, immutable logs for interfacing parties that don't trust each other or an intermediary.

Blockchains are more like an API than a database.
Unmanned aircraft aren't built for maneuver ability. Stop trying to turn everything into top gun.

Git is why people like blockchains so much - the value is clear, since it's what we interact with all day.

(1) and (3) are optional. (2) is a value add though; the credit card oligopoly, Stripe, PayPal, ... have a lot of power and choose to bias that power toward PR control and liability mitigation over letting you actually move and access your money. Crypto isn't the only solution, but in the absence of a benevolent, less profitable payment provider or else appropriate legislative action I don't see anything better coming down the pipe.
A cult isn't a diffuse set of through processes and standards generally held in common to different degrees by different parties. That is very nearly the opposite of a cult. If you see a word with negative connotations and you desire to throw it at the houses as if it were a stray rock it may be a sign you aren't reasoning clearly.

If someone was a hard core advocate for equality and justice where black and Hispanic people were concerned but held an irrational bigoted views about Jewish people their fellow advocates would count their bigotry more significant than their tolerance.

You are naturally free to have your own positions on the topics raised but there is absolutely nothing logically inconsistent with the position that what they regard as bigotry being cause for concern and reaction even if as you say she and they agree on 19 other topics.

A petty criminal visits your farm with a gun in his hands. You tell him that the blockchain says this land belongs to you. What happens then? Does he say "oh, sorry to bother you, have a nice day" and go away? Or does he just shoot you and take over the land?

It's being worked on multiple fronts by multiple independent teams simultaneously. What you're specifically asking for can be found under "The Scourge" & "The Verge".
Seattle basically could be in CA, and NYC is kind of worse in a lot of respects, but I don't think it's so different or worse that leaving the US would make more sense than living there...
Then they could at least provide more than one option. Though while far from perfect, one of the things I like about Alexa/Echo more than the ability to change it, is that with multiple devices you will generally only trigger one (the others within earshot will listen and then ignore it once one of them has picked it up; works well in my house at least apart from one place where echo/reflection sometimes causes one in another room to get preference, but even then only one device usually triggers). Sounds like that was the main problem for GP.

Most of the time I can just turn in the general direction of the device I want to "listen".
Isn’t it possible that incredibly advanced beings exist somewhere? And if so, what if they colonized earth long ago? Wouldn’t we call them “gods”?
Okay but now they can't do anything nrclark said.
Blockchains normally has a database and then an API. Many of the newer chains uses Rocksdb.
Most devs don't pay for their tools. Because they are employees and they need their bosses to sign off on expenses. I know some free lancers that pay for some tools but way more that don't. So, it's a small market that sustains a handful of really nice tools. Jetbrains is one of the more successful tool vendors in this space. But their tools are really essential to many developers.

As a CTO, most of my budget goes to paid services that add clear value with a clear value proposition. The value proposition with developer tools is usually quite murky. It's all very subjective and preference based. So, something like kite is a hard sell.

It's remarkable that they attracted so much investment. But of course that put them under enormous pressure to meet what were probably highly unrealistic revenue goals as well. That team might have made them a nice acquihire target at best.
There is a non-fiction book that essentially reads like this. It's polemically titled "God Wants You Dead." It's only marginally about religion.
One other thing which I find very useful is to write tests which will start failing once the <trigger condition> changes. For example if today the database version I'm testing against disallows some query shape I can:

- write a test that verifies the failure

- add a todo comment in code linking to the test to fix the code when test fails

Then eventually the test will start failing, you can fix the code and the test and profit.
> microtransactions

I think Disney got soured off of gaming when the fan and critical response was so harsh against Battlefront 2. They tried microtransactions and ended up going down as the most downvoted comment in reddit history.[1]

I think it's possible and doable but you have to provide some need to clients. If you find up to 10 clients and the product is very useful to them. Then charge them 100 per month, means you easily make 1000 per month. Personally, never done this but hoping to do so also cos I have so many side projects I cant even count anymore. xD. Will be following this thread to gain insights for sure.

Blockchain was invented to solve one particular problem: distributed consensus on a sequence of transactions, where the choice of which transaction to include from a set of conflicting transactions is irrelevant.

The latter property here is key to understanding where blockchain is useful. It was created to solve the "double spend problem", ie. two transitions that spend the same coin but send it to different recipients (and so they conflict and cannot both be included in the canonical list of transactions). A double spend is the result of the sender either (a) making a mistake, or (b) attempting fraud. In both cases the important property is that as long as only a single of these conflicting transactions is included, the systems works.

Only if your problem exhibits the above property (and it's a distributed system) does using a blockchain make sense.
Disney+'s marquee show is The Mandalorian which has been quite great so far but even that can't be stretched for too long. I don't see it going beyond a few more seasons. At least with its competitors like Netflix, it has a fantastic library of so many show like House of Cards, Stranger Things, Dark, Squid Game and a bunch of stuff for almost every demographic possible. HBO probably has an unparalleled library of shows and movies. Disney+ shows don't have the same kind of rewatchability.
Templating is better, suggestions are better, refactoring options are better, the search anywhere feature is better (VS's Ctrl+Q isn't bad per-se but it annoys me comparatively) and you can use F12 to navigate to binary sources and automatically decompile into them, which is invaluable when I just want to see what a third party component is doing without wanting to dig up its docs or source on GitHub. I hate hate HATE hitting F12 and seeing an interface contract, that's basically useless.

People keep telling me that VS is getting closer to feature parity, but when our volume license invariably breaks now and then and R# stops working, I find myself in strong anger in not much time. I worked for a time early on without it and I admit it's the sort of thing you don't appreciate until you have it.
What would you have them do? Vote for the party that treated them as third-class citizens for decades?
I tend to think this is overblown, if for no other reason than, whatever the team's current status, there are always mercenary, high-rate consultants that can be brought in to help.
Same for me. I can't concentrate on the lecture if I don't take notes or draw figures and diagrams. I realized this now when I'm 24.
What I see missing in most of those is that decentralized immutable storage is the only part solved by blockchain technologies, and:

- Storage is not the hard part of all those proposals. Standard formats and a shared ontology between all players is the actual hard part. Medical records are useless if you can't read them.

- Immutable storage is not hard to do in a centralized fashion and can be made much more efficient. Do blockchain-based systems offer the bandwidth to ingest _all_ medical records produced worldwide? I'd say the required amount of records-per-second would surprise you (as well as the potential size of those records, where some are high resolution scans and stuff like that).

- Usually you _don't_ want immutable records, even when it seems like you do. What happens when you want to advance the formats stored in the blockchain? You can't edit old records (to update them to the new format), so your only options become: create a new blockchain and/or keep the cruft forever.

- Storing anything private via encryption poses problems in many domains: sometimes you want certain third-parties to be able to access that information (e.g.: the hospital should have access to your medical records if you get there unconscious in an ambulance). I've seen no real solution to the kind of issues that arise there.

These are very serious limitations against blockchains _shining_ if you ask me. Of all your proposed use-cases the only one that I can't see hitting those issues is the company registry records one (and maybe that's because I'm not acquainted enough with that domain).
> If you prove that customers' deposits equal X ("proof of liabilities"), and prove ownership of the private keys of X coins ("proof of assets"), then you have a proof of solvency: you've proven the exchange has the funds to pay back all of its depositors.

But what if your private keys are actually owned by Alameda, who lent you them for the purpose of demonstrating solvency but then oops options blew up and they're gone now?

But what if most of your deposits were gold- or USD-backed assets and your assets are all shitecoin and a 51% attack happens to shitecoin and everybody wants their gold back?

But what if you do all this and you prove solvency, but your assets are all rated by S&P and oh crap just like in 2007 they rated everything triple-A but it's actually junk?

I mean the technical ideas in the piece are sound, but there's nothing here to fundamentally rebuild trust in crypto.

Also: the title "having a safe CEX" -- cute, but underscores how crypto is such a sausage fest.

HBO probably has an unparalleled library of shows and movies. Disney+ shows don't have the same kind of rewatchability. For example, they fumbled extremely hard with the Obi Wan show, which could have been another potential cultural zeitgeist like the Star Wars movies if they probably cut down the filler and did some more rewrites to improve the script and released it as a movie (either in theater or as a Disney+ exclusive)

"Messy chaos" won't work on the shinkansen: the train only stops very briefly at the station for boarding and disembarking. What you're describing in your country would never be tolerated.

My understanding is that you can bring a bike (in a bag, disassembled) on board, and stow it near the end of the car behind the seats, but I've never tried it, nor have I seen it (but I've only ridden a handful of times so I'm no expert).

I’ve tried this, fails in the discovery aspect imho. By the time the trigger condition occurs no one’s checking that comment that’s buried god knows where. You’re at most going to see it when something’s already broken and you’re investigating the causes.

Using jira cards with “depends on” relations work better if you already have one for the trigger condition, but even for that if it’s months or years away there’s a big chance that the trigger condition is done in a new duplicate card because no one remembers the old one.
Yep. Echoes also don't make you pause after the wake word, so you can actually talk to it naturally. Also, when you tell them to shut up they shut up. The way Google Homes throw a tantrum when you're rude to them will make you want to reach through the cable line and strangle the arrogant son of a bitch who OK'd something that pointlessly infuriating.
F-Droid purposefully makes it convenient to use multiple repos. I have F-Droid, microG, and Briar enabled right now.

What wrong thing?
Did you say straight forward and bluetooth in the same sentence?!
This guy is exactly what's wrong with the crypto space. It's a fundamental misunderstanding of the strengths and weaknesses of blockchains.

Putting all those things he listed on a blockchain is the perfect example of “That's not a blockchain, that's a sequence of poor engineering decisions!”

Everything he listed can already be done with basic software engineering. Add a blockchain to these things makes it slow, adds unnecessary complexity and fake decentralization where its not even needed.

Crypto is full of Ape NFTs and casino gambling because there is nothing useful in blockchains other than removing trusted third parties.

Bitcoin added something new, crypto asked what more can we do with this? The answer is not much.
I was in the process of making a longer comment, but I think I will leave it at this one:

Non-Violence or 'Ahmisa' being a core tenant of Buddhism (and many other religions), is the one I would pick as a more apt comparison. I don't think it is reasonable to commit no violence, especially if you consider all life precious - even if you restrict to only humans. Not all people think the same, in fact some people are far more willing to enact violence to reach their goals.

Is protecting yourself and your community not included in the definition of 'violence'? If 'Ahmisa' is to be understood as, yes all forms of violence are sinful - then I outright reject that idea. You must be willing to protect other people, and you must be willing to enforce, and further able to enforce that.

I don't think I have to enumerate all the ways history has proven that violence in the protection of others (and self) was/is necessary.
Textual (macOS) has had both image and video inline embedding since at least 2014 (in fact it was ironically used for the longest time as the main client of the dev behind Hexchat, another IRC client). KiwiIRC (web based) also has embeds IIRC.

Besides stimulants there are a lot of effective interventions for ADHD. There is good literature behind balance exercises, vigorous cardio exercise, sleep adjustment, ADHD specific therapy, and coaching. Once you're diagnosed, you have access to meds and a directive from your doctor to get therapy. Don't take the common advice and seek Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. CBT doesn't work very well for ADHD, we tend to try to outsmart the process.

Mostly the benefit is understanding yourself and allowing a measure of grace for your challenges. It helps you calibrate your goals, and be self aware when making decisions that you may be suffering an executive function deficit, and to seek known good supports for managing impulse control challenges.

There was a time when I started taking stimulant meds, but still felt the need to finish off-topic ideas to completion. It took a lot of learning to understand that my instincts need scrutiny, and that I don't have to beat myself up for not being able to do impossible things on a regular basis.

I like myself better. I get more of the important stuff done. I can even relax from time to time. I also accept that I will always have some unique struggles and special abilities.
In other mersenne news, it has now been the longest ever wait for the discovery of a new largest mersenne prime since the GIMPS project started (nearly 4 years now):

This is not quite an accurate picture, unfortunately. The casino/house earns money on each hand played. Their motivation is to maximize the number of hands played. Their ideal scenario would be where poker was a 0-skill game where a bunch of players would just endlessly play against each other with 0 edge until all the money in the ecosystem was taken up by the house.

In practice losing/casual players tend to lose their money pretty quickly, and winning/skilled players then take that money that they've earned and withdraw it - while waiting for another casual player. The house has every motivation to increase the amount of time it takes for a skilled player to wipe out a casual player. They also benefit from casual players going on 'hot streaks' early on. The goal there is to convince the casual player that they are skilled, and their later losses are "bad luck." The point being to encourage them to deposit more after they lose their money.
Alright alright, you have a point. My apologies to you, OP, and anyone else that might be offended.
> I think the speed and low-fees required in (some types of) financial trading just can't happen fully on chain. So that's another reason for centralization in exchanges

That's currently being resolved with the implementation & adoption of rollups: There're currently multiple efforts towards developing zk-based rollups, with everyone (Polygon, zkSync, Scroll) taking a different approach towards providing it. Right now, optimistic rollups are the dominant rollup strategy right now, with improvements & decentralization already undergoing development & deployment.

Most still have guardrails in place, but it's publicly known & already being worked on.

Few times I tried JetBrains rider trial because was fed up with Visual Studio performance issues and occasional crashes. But rider won't even compile my solution OOTB. Meh.
I almost never use the mouse in vscode, emacs keybindings and the command pallete and keyboard shortcuts created any time I touch the mouse. But I also don't get everything I want, (like macros and web browsing and face customization and rectangular editing) that I get with emacs, so I only use vscode for liveshare.

Incidentally, I use and pay for tabnine (another ai assistant) in emacs and it's fantastic - single line completions are superior to whole snippets I have to read with copilot, and don't get me out of my flow.

I am surprised the tabnine company completions are way easier to work with than in vscode. With grouped backends, company lsp + company tabnine is great. I'd encourage kite users to try it. Well worth the money.
