Having worked with a handful of terminal CLI purists I'm convinced most of the people who bang the drum hard for vi and emacs aren't nearly as productive as they think they are, and instead evangelize it largely for some mixture of these reasons:

1) They have a strong preference for keyboard only operation

2) It serves as a cultural cachet, or shibboleth, to signal how elite and pure a developer they are

3) they wish to continue working in the same environment they have been for years or decades, and learning new key binds, trying to find equivalent features and testing new features isn't worth some potential benefit

Everything else, like differences in RAM consumed, total install size, etc seem like post-hoc metric seeking for folks who have already decided what they like.
In the Soviet Union, tipping[0] was often done in vodka bottles. At some point, the soviets realised that vodka bottles were not only more stable than the ruble, but had a real return higher[1] than the bank savings account rate.

That is one eventual first quick assumption by some (mostly nontechnical journalists), but nothing official and confirmed, or you have sources? Otherwise please don't sell this as fact. Knowing the place, it still had heating, so I personally find this also unreasonable.. would only make sense to me if it got to freezing temperatures or below 4°C, but that for sure wasn't the case.. I doubt that place was much colder than at other times, like maybe 2-4 degrees.. but if you have any real details on that this would be welcome.

If WhatsApp disappeared today, over a billion people would lose their main communication channel with friends and families, and millions of businesses in emerging markets would lose a primary sales channel.

If crypto disappeared today, what would be the real-world effect? How many people would be inconvenienced in some other sense than "bummer, I hoped this would make me rich"? How many actual businesses would be impacted?

GP was claiming there are "no indicators" that Binance is fucked, so I provided a list of recent things about Binance that sound pretty fucked to me.

> The big auditors don't even know what they are looking at and don't want to audit Binance. The CEO said as much on CNBC.

You take this claim at face value?

It’s not that complex. Auditors untangle complex financial setups, that’s their job. They just balk at things like “Hidden, poorly internally labeled ‘fiat@’ account” on the balance sheets.
Well... https://caniuse.com/webcodecs
It looks like people assumed Binance was in the same position as FTX, there was a run on Binance and they seemed to weather it just fine, perhaps they got lucky or perhaps they aren't committing fraud like SBF.
The thing is, with the lack of clarity/audits etc for a lot of organizations in this world, you'll never get clear proof before problems become all too apparent.

Look at FTX, Celsius et al, lots of people called FUD when issues were raised there...
We should be allowed to reply to dead comments and have our replies turn up as dead too. If these comments aren't bad enough to delete outright, only hide, then we should be able to interact with them, but hidden. Good idea or bad idea?

There's this editor called vim. You should have a look.
That “good summary” video is anything but, and contains numerous incorrect claims, starting with not being aware of differences between tokens and chains. He claims that Binance hasn’t provided any “Token addresses”, when they provided their ETH addresses (that contain tokens).
10 Mb/s network? Was this 20 years ago?

Admittedly, because of VNC's age, there are many sub-optimal encoding methods available and many different implementations which might not be fully compatible with each other. So, maybe your chosen server has some good encoding methods available and maybe the client can support some good encoding methods, but the intersection of supported encodings might be bad.

Users of VNC often need to understand how to tweak their settings for the best result. The client should choose the "best" encoding automatically, but this cannot be fully relied upon. On a slow network (like yours), it's probably best to select "tight" encoding, allow lossy compression (jpeg) and turn down the quality a bit.

That is to say, if the implementation that you're using doesn't support h264. Currently, there are not many that do.
Over the space of nearly 3 years. From a population of 8 billion. Completely overhyped.
It's a common problem, probably most common name for it is "information overload". There is a new skill needed today where you need to find ways of dealing with the "signal vs noise" problem. There is just so much information that if you try to take in everything, you'll be overloaded. Instead, you need to figure out some way of filtering incoming information so more "signal" than "noise" gets through to you. I'm sure having ADHD makes this a lot harder too.

Rather than giving you some specific advice, best advice I have for you is to lookup existing resources that deal with "information overload", try searching for that on your favorite search engine.

In the past, there been a lot of threads on HN as well with good advice that you can browse through, probably you'll find at least one idea that can help you a bit. Here is an example search for "Ask HN information overload" sorted by score: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
There’s really no way to tell. If there is a hole and they broadcast that early, there will be a run and they are toast, so, like everyone else so far, they can only continue to service withdrawals until they no longer can. And up to that point, from the outside, things are identical with or without hole.
TextMate might have a word here.
If we put aside the fact that I don't care, it's also completely irrelevant because it's anecdotal, and even if it wasn't anecdotal, I do not accept the implication that the competence of a specific company's CTO and their tenure time has an obvious relationship with the profitability of a company to begin with.
I'm so happy to be able to share this testimony with all of you, I invested 6BT, in an online investment bitcoin platform. Scammers stole all of my belongings! I have abandoned everything! I was concerned about breaking my promises to my family this Christmas because I had expenses to cover. I talked to a handful of my friends, but all of their responses were unfavourable. When I went online, I came across an article promoting Spyware Cyber, A hacker group that specialized in cryptocurrency recovery. I made the decision to get in touch with them, and in three days, spyware(@)cybergal(.)com was able to recover all of my stolen bitcoins. It was amazing to have my lost Bitcoins back. Anyone who has likewise lost money in Bitcoin should read this post. and get in touch with them to retrieve back your stolen funds.

This is kind of Gresham's law for crypto. Bad ethics drive good ethics out of the market. Amusingly, this is often studied in the context of how deregulation led to the S&L crisis, i.e. a direct parallel.

Can you explain this a bit more ? Does the zero-zero take into consideration the orientation of the pilot ? So as to avoid ejecting into the ground for example.

Early humans may have first walked upright in the trees
Isn't this the same excuse that was always given about Bankman-Fried before the depth of his fraud became evident.

"He's such an authentic guy, raw math genius, doesn't wear suits or know how to talk corporate bullshit."
"Human bipedalism -- walking upright on two legs -- may have evolved in trees, and not on the ground as previously thought, according to a new study."

I set my notifications to "Direct messages, mentioned & keywords".

- They are leveraged

- There will be a run on them as trust in Crypto is at an all time low

- Even a well run bank will struggle in this situation. Binance is not that.
For me the concern with Binance is that it's the biggest crypto exchange in the world, yet has no geographical base and has (AFAIK) never had a proper audit.

Without more clarity, there's no way anyone can know for sure if all is well or not, and that's not a great place to put your money given there is likely no insurance if it goes wrong.

If you are purchasing USDC and holding it on Binance, you are probably better off buying BUSD.

If Binance crashes, than both USDC and BUSD will be inaccessible. If Circle crashes, than USDC on Binance will be gone, but not BUSD. As long as Binance doesn't crash, BUSD will be fine.

I work under the assumption that both Circle and Binance are freely using much of their customer's funds, and that Binance has both larger pockets and a larger hole. If I am wrong and someone here is honest, than the above is all-the-more so.
The FTX Crypto Victim Card Can Be Hard to Play

Nomachine.

At least some commercial remote desktop solutions are very strict about business usage - they don't allow it at all (last time I've checked, Teamviewer was so).

Nomachine is a bit looser: they allow occasion business usage, as long as it's not the core of the remote workflow.

By your logic Sublime is an even higher feat of engineering since it made even better engineering decisions.

Ultimately they’re both very fancy text editors, not ‘the greatest feat of modern software engineering’.

I’d happily switch from Sublime to VScode or EMacs or any of the other umpteen code editors. I’d shudder to have to go back from Git to SVN. Even Mercurial seems milquetoast in comparison.

Similarly, what about the Linux kernel?

What about C?
Same reason internet services without ads are so hard to come by. There is always more money to be made by adding creative financial products to the mix. Platforms that resist the urge to get creative charge more and don't reach the same scale as the ones that are doing something a little dodgy on the side.

Yes, some empathy for those going through difficult personal times is healthy.

But when people allow their problems to harm others, we must by necessity become harder on them, try to establish protective boundaries, and hold them to account.

When someone is extremely powerful, whether through wealth, company position, or political office, the harm they can inflict increases exponentially and therefore we need to hold them to a much higher standard. They have all the resources they need to handle their personal problems through professional help and also the freedom to step back from having power and influence over others if they can't.

Having empathy for even the powerful is fine and well, as long as we don't forget to first and foremost have empathy for those they're hurting.

You’re on to something there. Finance is all about trends, and when to follow them versus when to bet against them.

But crypto in particular seems subject to wild extremes of irrationality. It attracts people willing to to ignore fundamentals and move serious money based on faith and intuition.
Yes. Binance cannot be "fucked" by any meaning of the word. CZ claim they store customers' assets one to one. Either this is true, and they're safe, or it's not true, and they're engaging in the same fraud as FTX.

But if they're a fraud, they won't be "fucked" until 1/ they're exposed (some evidence of the fraud is posted somewhere), and 2/ people believe it, and there's a run, and they collapse because of the fraud -- since without the fraud, a run should not cause a collapse.

A simple rise in withdrawals isn't enough to announce their demise.
Okay I see what you mean, I agree with you on this.
A couple of hours only.
Lots of ML/AI stuff wants to your sign some sort of license before you can use it, being able to deploy stuff offline kind of defeats that. Although of course there are ways around it (download once, store yourself, put in right directory), but they are unlikely to help you work around that.
NIMBY is exactly the word.

> And then non-obvious issues that just "appear" out of nowhere

That is definitely not something that I've never seen when using Windows! Where it has happened to me under Linux it has been eventually traced to a hardware issue or a bad update (the latter I've experienced on both those OSs over the years and the former will affect everything).
Considering that nails from a nail gun have a habit of following the grain in surprising ways (possibly causing the nail to do a 180 degree turn and find your finger), yes, it is important for a prospective user to "get to know it".

If Binance is not running as an unregulated fractional reserve bank, they could be fine. If I am holding a million dollars in customer money and all but a dollar is withdrawn I am fine if I actually have it all in custody.

Somehow I doubt that Binance is that on the level.
