I've yet to find an outdated doc that makes the situation worse (unless you assume it's correct and up-to-date, which you should never do with anything anyway). There's a reason we like RFCs even if they only represent a decision in time.
He alluded to Musk's wealth being the only signal that may have diminished. His presence in the public mind has blown up more than ever as of late, so on that metric alone his success is growing. It would require a substantial hit elsewhere (like his wealth) to see diminishing success overall.

Nobody talks about people who just quietly do things and don't tell anybody. All the talk is about dramatic stuff happening.

But other than that, putting 5% rather than betting your entire life on it still suggests some sort of expectation that this might actually be good for something -- unless you're the rare person who actually spends significant amounts of money mostly at random.

If by chance you are, then the conversation isn't really about you. You're just allocating a percentage to a dice throw without any other reasoning, hoping it might actually bring profit by pure chance.
The quasi-religious nature of the Bitcoin/crypto community has been a big turn-off for me - the systems where evidence is replaced with belief are naturally suspicious.
This is exactly the opposite of hackintosh. A hackintosh is "pirated" Apple software running on non-Apple hardware.

These are people who have bought genuine Apple hardware - putting money in Apple's pocket. Then they want to write some custom software for their computer.

I don't see how this threatens Apple in any way. The intersection between general Apple users and those who want to run "a remix of Arch Linux ARM" on their $1000 hardware has to be pretty small anyway.

Actually it could open up a new market for Apple. I for one am quite impressed by Apple hardware, but have minimal interest in running their software. If Asahi becomes stable enough, I would seriously consider buying Apple.

Your second point is a good one, however.

Necesse is more similar to Terraria, but it's the game I'm enjoying most right now.
If you like risk you should try Kemet and Scythe. I find the combat of Kemet much better and the overall mechanics of Scythe much more rewarding. Scythe is probably too mechanically heavy for your style (it almost always requires a playthrough before you get it and has a more involved rulebook) but I mention it just because it is by far the best dudes-on-a-map game I have ever played, primarily because of how it does a fantastic job capturing the prisoners dilemma of investing in guns vs butter for your nation.

For what it's worth, personally I think Catan and Risk are both very mediocre games, especially for their popularity.

In my view, the placeholder text in a search field shouldn't be capitalized—the text you type in it isn't capitalized either. In general, capitalization is a complex question that I've agonized a lot about in different contexts. But this thing just tells you that it's "wrong" to not capitalize it. No discussion, it's just "wrong".

> Programming is the only thing I can do - and the only thing that makes me enough money to survive.

I think you may want to re-evaluate this. Some people with ADHD do better in environments where they are on their feet, actively doing work, rather than sitting at a computer screen. It sounds like you need a job that you can still do even when you are not at your mental/emotional best, and where minimum focus is mandatory but not hard to achieve. Programming may just not be that job, or not all the time.

There are now lots of "gig economy" jobs that you can do whenever you want to do them. They're not always the highest-paying, but in exchange for that you get a ton of flexibility. Maybe you could parley some of those into a hybrid approach - work in food-service or as an Uber driver or something else that is lower-paying during your downturns, and do short-term contract work during your upswings.

Plus, if you feel like a failure - and it kinda reads like you do now - having some small successes in another field could help you turn that feeling around.
> Non-technical people used to learn bits of HTML just to get sparkly backgrounds on their MySpace pages.

I'm going to take a slightly different interpretation of your comment because I think it's an interesting discussion: are the non-technical people of today less technical than the non-technical people of the MySpace days?

From what I have observed, I would say yes. If you took the bottom 10% of users back then, you might have a hope of teaching them HTML. Today? No chance. In particular I think "willingness to learn anything" has really waned.

This is cool and all, but I don't quite understand the point. You're not serving maps as part of a business case, what is your use case? I use OSM exclusively, for car navigation, topographical information, waterways and some custom overlay data and I run Osmand on my phone and store all the data for the entire US locally. If you're just planning trips and navigating around in your car, why run a server for it, especially one that powerful?
I dont think Charity has much of a track record compared to commerce. There are some edge cases where market failures create situations where progress is stuck but those are lots of times governance problems. Telling people how to govern themselves is at least as fraught as the idea that just showering money on non-profits will do anything useful, so it's a tough one. I think non-profits are a way to increase the velocity of money which increases commerce, so while I think a lot of altruistic posturing is bullshit, if it gets people to spend money instead of hoarding it, that is an overall good thing, but for the wrong reasons.
Oh yeah that makes sense Material design is both ugly and dorky to use.
Have you tried work that comes to you? Like clearing a queue of tickets in technical support or even accepting calls?

You basically have to show up to work and you are micromanaged by the queuing software. Sounds horrible, but it leads to consistent performance and when your shift is over your mind is clear from work. You are not stressed about procrastination - you just have to respond to stimuli.

You don't have to be very social, the communication is basically a ritual/protocol. If you can clear the first hurdle it might turn out that the formed habits will help you for life.

There are more technical support jobs out there, you just need to make sure they are not organized around projects or a particular big client, but a queue. You are in Eastern Europe so there might be some opportunities around you.

You can give it a try and see how it feels for you.

As Lightning Network matures, finer solutions emerge that solve more specific problems. This specialization is a result and driver of growth.
The first solutions (implementations & wallets) were the network's POC -> very general, basic, all-purpose solutions to a generic problem (relatively low cost, scalable bitcoin payments).
With the basic infrastructure in place, the next phase was to make running a node tractable. As always, we made simple tools to make more complex tools. The results - like LSPs - were unforeseen but vital.
In the current phase, we see more players entering more verticals (gaming, content, media, fintech, etc.) with solutions tailored to their particular markets. Regional verticals are big too, 'cause Vietnam ain't Ohio.
Specialization will feed growth will demand specialization will feed growth. As Lightning enters ever more verticals and becomes essential, it will fade into the background. Invisible but indispensable - like oxygen. UX will remain key.

You may still not know how to find anything, but they will.

Like a lot of other things, this has suffered from computerization making it yet another small part of everyone's job (which also increases context switching, the amount of shit you need to know and keep track of, and generally makes jobs more stressful) rather than a specialty that's the main focus of a few workers.

> The device has been installed in the Vatajankoski power plant which runs the district heating system for the area. Low-cost electricity warms the sand up to 500C by resistive heating.. generates hot air which is circulated in the sand by means of a heat exchanger. Sand is a very effective medium for storing heat.. device could keep sand at 500C for several months. So when energy prices are higher, the [sand] battery discharges the hot air which warms water for the district heating system which is then pumped around homes, offices and even the local swimming pool.

First let me say that since it's established that different programmers have different preferences, the fact that some programmers might prefer a different evolution strategy is no reason to change it, because that will always be true. A reason to change strategy is if some other one has fared better, and none has. The only languages that have arguably fared better than Java are Python and JS, and they have fewer, not more features. So there's simply no good reason to pick a different strategy that has not shown to fare better.

Now, when it comes to async/await, first let's take JS off the table, because JS has no other convenient concurrency feature, and it couldn't add threads because it would have broken most existing JS code (it could add isolates, but they're not sufficiently fine-grained, at least not in the JS world).

If Java had got async/await ten years ago, it would have been burdened with it for decades. It would have provided some value in those ten years, and extracted value for the following forever (albeit gradually diminishing). "Just don't use it" works fine for library features, but not so much for foundational language features, because programmers usually don't start with a blank slate, and don't pick the features in the codebase they work on. Therefore, all language features carry a cost, and they carry a higher cost when it comes to beginners, where this matters most.

It's hard to precisely describe what could have been, but I think most would agree that in those ten years Java didn't lose many developers to languages with async/await because they had async/await. It probably lost some developers to Python and JS for other reasons (say, Python is easier to get started with, and JS is easier for those who know it from the browser), and it didn't even lose that many people to Go (Python lost many more to Go than Java did). Considering all that, I think that Java's position in 2022 is better, now that it has virtual threads, than it would have been had it also had async/await (which would have likely also delayed virtual threads).

If I could go back in time knowing what I know now, I would have advocated against adding async/await ten years ago with even higher certainty. Back then I just believed there's a better way; now not only do I know there's a better way, but I also know that not adding async/await didn't cost us must if at all.

Going back to the original topic, Java's primary competitors -- Python and JS -- also don't have a great solution for nulls. So while I would very much like to address this problem, I see no reason to change our game plan in favour of scrambling for a quick solution. We'll tackle this issue like we try to tackle all others: methodically and diligently, and preferably after we've had time to study how well various solutions work elsewhere.
I wonder if it would help if we developed some kind of standard grammar for constructing commands. I think what I always found comforting about "Alexa what temperature is it outside right now" is that there's very little ability to misconstrue it. If we tried to reach people a "command language" in the same way we train people to recognize three horizontal lines as a menu-open button maybe we could get somewhere. But now we're reneging on the whole basis of "oh just ask Alexa" since now you have to speak a non-native language (well, grammar) to her. Hrm.

But I think another problem is how low-bandwidth human speech is. A picture is worth a thousand words and a written word is probably worth at least 2 or 3 spoken. Combine that with how noise-polluted many homes are (kids) and how relatively bad speech processing is at picking up on some of the finer nuances of speech and you've got a really bad "connection" that's underpinning a really slow communication protocol.

So with that... how would you ever shop online by voice? Maybe you could easily reorder common things - "Alexa please reorder baby wipes like I always do" but amazons listings churn "brand" names and such so often that might be hard. And shipping Prime members 10 free of those button things would probably be more likely to get this to work than by executing really well on voice.

Music seems like a simple idea but TFA said that didn't seem to really work.

So where is voice supposed to go? Any ideas?

Honestly the most intrigued I've ever been by my Echo Touch 2 or whatever it's called - it's the 8" display thingy - was to do the "Alexa - intruder alert!" meme at funny times as a joke to my wife. Completely unrelated the device in question is currently unplugged.

Was the whole thing supposed to be "locally parse speech and sell ads on it" and that ended up not working without sending the speech home to AMZN, which they seemed too reputationally risky to do?

I digress.

> Unfortunately, one of the specific examples that gets the most attention is to go into high-frequency trading (instead of another career) so you can earn money to donate.

If this is the argument, then the criticism should focus on HFT, not on EA.

Most HFT employees aren't earning to give, and donate little to none of their income to effective charities. If HFT is harmful, then those non-EA HFT employees deserve at least as much criticism as EA HFT employees. So if you're worried about HFT, you should start with criticism of HFT, and if someone tries to defend HFT by bringing up EA, _then_ you can debate whether the benefits of earning-to-give outweigh the damage done by HFT.

But this article, and your comment, are doing the exact opposite -- you're _starting_ with criticism of the EA movement, and only mentioning HFT in passing! It comes across as looking for an excuse to criticize EA, rather than being genuinely concerned about harm caused by HFT.
My favorite thing about the engravings (and statues and similar art) is that not only is it based on real dwarves, gods, etc. from the current game world, but you can commission pieces about specific dwarves and the artisans will commemorate battles or other milestone events that involved them.

In one of the last times I played, some invader had broken through my defenses and killed a couple of highly respected dwarves (one of whom was a skilled fighter), but finally came face to face with a young girl dwarf who confronted him in one of the dining halls and, though she lost a leg, managed to kill him (eventually recovering to grow up to be a skilled craftsdwarf). I had a some statues made of her, and most of them came out depicting the heroic deed in different levels of detail (so of course the best one was put up in that dining hall).

There's also a sort-of-exploit related to this, where if there's a stranger in your fortress whom you suspect of having a nefarious background, you can commission artwork of them and sometimes it will reveal malicious traits about them if you examine it. The artists always seem to have perfect knowledge of their subjects.

Except that like all WYSIWYG editors, Confluence's editor is buggy and unpredictable. You can only use it in a browser. Because it doesn't even have a 'raw' editing mode anymore, you can't work around the WYSIWYG editor when it's broken. Uploading or converting to it from external sources is a PITA, when it's even possible.

If you want technical documentation that developers are going to maintain, it has to be a joy to work with in their own editors.
