Can you share some specific examples? Which musicians? The ‘rival record companies’ comment hints that you’re talking about something different than copyright problems. But you’re also bringing up many vague fears and not citing examples. People can be scared of a lot of things, that doesn’t mean it’s reality. I’m trying to get a sense of what exactly you’re referring to because it sounds like you are tip-toeing around cases where people are actually infringing and trying to get away with it. Sampling is tolerated sometimes, but not legal. If you go down that road, you can’t necessarily expect to not be challenged.
Yes, and I also never felt the macOS warning about it "strongly suggested it was a virus." That was pretty much hyperbole. And I could also argue that Apple expecting devs to pay a nominal fee to get their app officially code-signed creates a barrier to entry for bad actors who are likely to not want (or be unable to afford) to pay such a fee, especially when that simultaneously gives control to Apple to block the malicious code en-masse once it is discovered.
The old ATMega328 is obsolete. That's my point. There's a ton of chips that are better than ATMega328.

But if we're talking about _MODERN_ chips, like AVR64DD32, the modern successor to ATMega328, with AVR assembly language, GCC support and all that jazz...

EDIT: AVR64DD32 is basically a "modern ATMega" btw. Its not an ARM, its an AVR processor. Is this the point of confusion?

* Running directly off of 5V USB power without any voltage regulators is a neat trick. No ARM Cortex M0+ part I'm aware of goes above 3.6V (they're designed for Li-ion cells). Dropping down to 1.8V is also a neat trick, the AVRs have a very wide practical range of voltages.

* Dual power supply. PortC of AVR64DD32 runs off a 2nd power supply. So the AVR64DD32 can run off of 5V USB power, and with an external LDO regulator can have PortC running 3.3V. (Aka: integrated level shifter). You know, for all of that annoying 3V crap that you need to integrate with 5V other crap.

* The big-brother, AVR64DB32 (the DD turns into DB. Confusing, yes, I know), has 3x OpAmps. Meaning you don't even need a power supply anymore. You can power PortC / secondary I/O lines from the integrated OpAmps on the AVR-DB.

--------

I'd say typical M0+ parts are at the $2.50-ish price point. AVR DD has some neat tricks, and scales down to under $1 in bulk ($1.09 for 1: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/microchip-technol...)

If you upgrade to the bigger AVR DB in the series to $2.00 to $3.50... you get 3x rail-to-rail OpAmps with integrated resistor ladders and suddenly you're in a very flexible mixed-signal world.

I think STM32G4 chips have integrated OpAmps. But these are $7+ chips and a ARM Cortex-M4 (much more expensive / complex / bigger than the M0).

> M0s and M3s are cheap and plentiful and usually better specced for the price

Which one? AVR64DD32 is 64kB of Flash and 8kB of SRAM for $1.60.

Cheapest STM32L0 I can find is $1.82 and only has 2kB of SRAM. And it doesn't go to 5V, doesn't have integrated level shifters, op-amps, or any of the other neat tricks... (And STM32L0 is a _very_ competitive Cortex-M0+ line in my experience).

Like, we all want to just code our way out of problems. But sometimes, you have a 3V thing that you need to connect to a 5V thing. And AVR DD is the perfect tool for that.

------

EDIT: Ah right. And ATMega328 can still sink 20mA to fully turn on an LED without any MOSFETs / external amplifiers. I think PIC is the only other major line of chips that has this feature. AVR-line is legendary for its current source / current sink strength.
murky buckup poor lead !
systemd-coredump is honestly incredibly useful. Any time an application randomly crashes in the background, you can easily pop it in a debugger to look through the backtrace without having to re-run it. Very handy for when the crashes are not easily reproducible, or you didn't expect something to fail and are not sure how to make it fail again.

Does anyone has any links to recent benchmarks which show how large is the gap between WASM and native code?

In theory WASM looks really great, but the last time I looked at it, the gap was big enough to be a concern.
This argument always struck as similar to telling someone that because they wear ugly clothes, we're going to run them out of public spaces. Except worse because it's their own house.

Madoff Securities was founded in the 60s and didn't collapse until 2008.

And you may say that Madoff Securities didn't start out as a Ponzi scheme, federal investigators believe that it took until the 70s for it to start. Madoff claims the scams didn't start until the 90s.

So, "being around forever" isn't evidence of lack of fraud.
Ergo the shadowban.

> "Your art is not a heirloom.... you're not entitled to..."

What? An heirloom by definition is something passed down in a family for generations.

If I created Mickey Mouse for example, why does my future offspring have to give away its rights, perhaps to someone that may use the character in nefarious ways for profit?

I fail to see the logic of having a free-for-all on an artist's work just because they're potentially deceased and therefore let someone else receive profits instead of the original creator's family?
All you need to know is right there in the heading - "Visa Crypto Thought Leadership".

You can go back years finding all kinds of research papers, press releases, broad statements from you-name-it Fortune 500 talking about some crypto project.

It means absolutely nothing for these big corps to take a tiny portion out of their income-offsetting R&D departments to put a few people on moonshot/fluff/PR campaigns for papers like this. It makes them look cool, relevant, whatever and in the event it somehow goes somewhere they look like geniuses (and some exec gets a promotion). If it doesn't work out they never mention it again -OR- release a statement announcing termination of the project because of environmental concerns, etc (like Tesla).
My name isn't Joe, but it all looks sketchy to me.
You really need to provide some citations. The fees are actually extremely lucrative, check the Coinbase filings during the bull run. The FTX trading fees were massive as well and is one of the reasons SBF is a profound idiot. He could have banked those fees forever but he wanted more and more gains so went to the dark side trading and using user funds and of course losing them.

You're missing Kissinger's point (or perhaps I'm artificially seeing my point in Kissinger's argument).

Let's continue to refuse to deny Russia at various world forums. And Russia just burns it's fossil fuels intensely. The damage from climate change is catestrophic and WE LOSE.

Let's say we continue to shun Russia economically bringing it to it's knees. How does it make money if no one will buy it's goods on the open market? It sells what it can on the black market moving oil is hard. What about selling DPRK and Iran nuclear and ballistic missile secrets? WE LOSE.

Let's say a nuclear attack is carried on on Russia and it's surrounded by a ballistic missile defense system. So it nuclears Siberia to oblivion with purposefully dirty nuclear weapons. WE LOSE.

Let's say we enter conventional war with Russia and it just blasts ITS OWN satillites out of space directly above it staring Kessler cascade that wiped out all satillites and ends the prospect of space travel for hundreds of years. WE LOSE.

How will we prevent all these things? They are all born of Russia considered themselves no longer part of the world community?

TL;DR Kissinger knows NATO can trounce Russia ina war maybe even a nuclear one. But he realises the cost would be too great even from a complete victory with civilization ending potentials.
I don't know if this totally answers your question but sex is actually determined by the male haploid cells (sperm). Females have XX chromosomes and thus can only produce daughter haploid cells with X chromosomes. Males have XY chromosomes and produce daughter haploids cells with either X or Y chromosomes. The sex of the fertilized zygote is determined by whether an X or a Y chromosome containing sperm reaches the egg.
Nintendo is infamous for this, not only games specifically but mostly any "works" that relate to their content at all, including YouTube videos and also mods to long extinct games.
Not a geneticist, but X is not female and Y is not male. Rather, XX is female and XY is male. To make XX from a single XY person would be to clone the X and I would guess would lead to unviability problems when the chromosomes are put to use

Edit: for those downvoting, can you tell me how I’m wrong, if that is the case?
This is the same reporter who warned investors about Alameda/FTX right before they collapsed. [0] [1]

They also brought attention to Celsius two months ahead of their collapse. [2]

A lot of crypto ponzi schemes have been covered up with "Oh, that was just us doing arbitrage."

Celsius founder in 2020:

"We lend financial assets to players that can transact and generate income for themselves through arbitrage, market making or shorting certain stocks or digital assets."

Almost every brilliant arbitrage has blown up in the faces of high-risk entities or never happened to begin with (SBF's Japanese arbitrage trade looking pretty suspicious right now, with a $9B hole in his balance sheet).

The confidence of your remarks also strikes me as strange, seeing as we've now experienced one domino after another of "we're perfectly solvent and not doing anything bad" to "we're closing withdrawals and all the money's gone" (LUNA/UST, Celsius, 3AC, Voyager Digital, BlockFi, Genesis, FTX... all just in the last year.)

How can you have so much confidence these trades aren't suspicious?

Also the fact that you only need to pay the £99 fee once; after the executable is signed, notarised and stapled, that's it. I think there might be a network request if the executable hasn't been stapled, but it's only to check that it has been notarised in the past, it doesn't check for an active Developer Subscription. At least this is my understanding of the situation, I would be happy to be corrected if any of that is wrong.
I reckon the other way around: someone from obsidian found out that this is meant to launch soon and they didn't want apple take all the wind from their sail. Chances are low, but bigger than what you cynically described.

Do you have links to recent benchmarks? My understanding is that there were investment in bridging the gap recently.
Java tried that and it is an ongoing disaster that is itself the source of security bugs.

Library boundaries are not often so rigidly clear cut as to be a security boundary, ignoring also the performance & compatibility issues that come with such a thing.

That's a fair point; military power isn't the only way to project power. I do think, though, that the war in Ukraine may lead to us reevaluating just what nuclear power provides you. Certainly it is a deterrent to attack and especially a deterrent to a nuclear attack. But with time, especially after nuclear threats from Putin and Kim repeatedly prove to be empty threats, its ability to project power beyond a country's own borders seems more and more limited.
This is fascism
i think that's asking the wrong question. i think most or all of them started off pretty good. where we went wrong is creating a system where social media sites are paid for with ads, which gives warped incentives to the owners of those sites.

in that respect, federation is the answer. take the power away from anybody who could screw it all up for us.
This is definitely the one I'm looking at closest. There's also Lapce https://github.com/lapce/lapce which has great velocity and looks to be a pretty welcoming project.

VS Code has become the IE of old imo and it'll take an industry shift to kick it, just like IE. Microsoft is not being a good steward of open source for the project, and over time that will wear on people. Hopefully that'll irritate the right people with the right amount of money to do something about it.
The title is just as important as the article itself. It's something that could be called "clickbait".
Generally yes. There might be 5000l/min of 30c fluid but what you really want is 2500l/min of 60c fluid. So you use a refrigerant cycle to do that with the hot side going to district heating and the cold side going to the data center.

It's very much like an air conditioner but with liquid.
Some of the better years of my life a little over a decade ago were spent on mofunzone playing the stick figure fights with friends. I remember bullet time fighting (matrix clone with swords, guns, slow motion) and there was also an amazing action narrative series called Ray with Southpark themed characters and one of the craziest platformers I ever played called N. I managed to snag some of these a while back and preserve them offline and can still enjoy them using https://ruffle.rs/. We lost so many good things from the flash era.

It's a good point. Turns out that the Windows API is more stable than whatever Linux offers; I have multiple games now that have native Linux versions on Steam but whose Windows versions running under Proton are simply less buggy (and also synchronize cloud saves with my pure-Windows machine).
I remember being a little kid and my parents telling me that the tabloids at the grocery store were fake. Elvis isn't alive and aliens aren't visiting earth. Similarly, I've been thinking that we need to educate people to be skeptical about deep fakes. The best way to do this would be to have a deep fake of someone famous saying or doing something ludicrous. So over the top that it is obviously fake. I'm pretty sure Matt Stone and Trey Parker would be the best to do this.
I think it's good to be called out for this to allow for introspection and also it helps the community here realize that vast generalizations may not always be accurate.
Wow, incredible to see all the top comments there, “This article is jumping to conclusions. Everything seems fine.”

I’m not particularly invested in the crypto space one way or another but just watching from the sidelines it seems like:

* Many things that seemed fine in this space were not fine.

* As a layman, Binance _seems_ to be in the same ballpark of trustworthiness as FTX.

Even if you are pro-crypto it just seems like there are much less risky places to put your money than Binance at this point.

It's been done with Vim and Emacs, among others. Full desktop GUI versions, in addition to the original terminal-based form.

It just hasn't been done RECENTLY... with an editor that is visually attractive, and uses modern keyboard conventions rather than arcane keystroke DSL's that are inaccessible for the masses. But that's just a matter of project philosophy, not technical limitations with what's doable.
Pre check has generally been a separate line at most airports I've been at. It also allows a changed security posture: don't have to take off shoes, belt, use the nudie scanner. Clear literally just lets you cut in line.

It’s a problem I’ve seen and faced personally in my business albeit the invoicing rules are less complexed. Even then, it’s been tricky to find anything that provides enough automation and flexibility for me to override changes. I’m currently assessing whether it’s feasible to automate the workflow with minimal code. It won’t be fully end-to-end automation - it might be just enough that there will be components here and there with some human intervention.
Agreed on the overuse of javascript, although in this case I'm reasonably confident mastodon is not using said javascript to spy on you. Nevertheless it's something mastodon should try to fix. This is very much static content, no valid reason why it wouldn't display without javascript.
Along with a sibling, I agree that the concept of "Tragedy of the Commons" can be useful while its original author is a deeply flawed human being whose other arguments and extrapolations are insupportable and morally reprehensible.

Still, I'm grateful for your linking to this excellent critique of the source article which, among other things, provides a handy label for an ethically and morally dubious extrapolation the critique labels "lifeboat ethics" which I often seen deployed by the wealthy against the impoverished.

Many core features like remote editing and python support use a DRM so they only run in VSCode and not forks.
>"At the end of the day, VS Code is a shitty Electron app. "

It provides huge practical value to me as a developer. I am not fond of JavaScript being used as front end but as long as it performs decent job for particular use case I do not care. I use development tools to develop products and make money. I do not fight holy tech wars.

>"Startup time on my machine is only a hair faster than Jetbrains IDE's launching a JVM, it's ridiculous."

I value my development time and my development computers are very decent (desktop for example is 16 core AMD with 128GB RAM). Launching VS code on my machines is nearly instant. CLion from JetBrains is much slower (10 sec from cold start to opening my C++ project in a usable state for example) but still very acceptable. I do not restart it every minute. More like once in few days when using it.

>"VS Code has the market share that it has because:"

I do not care why. I am a consumer here. It is for a people who want to beat VS Code to figure out why and do better than MS. Me - I have my own problems to worry about and I just use tools that work for me.

>"Most importantly of all (in my cynical opinion), they went "dark mode" by default at just the right time when this was becoming a trendy new feature among devs."

I do not give a flying fuck about what is trendy for a generic developer. What is important for me in VS code along with plugin ecosystem let's me develop, lint, debug my code locally and on remote servers. As long as proper ergonomics / usability guidelines are followed I do not really care whether the mode is dark or light.

>"If someone came out with a free, cross-platform, attractive text editor that was a native executable and got critical mass going with a plugin ecosystem, then VS Code would fall out of fashion within a year."

And if I had a million dollars I'd be rich. Coulda, shoulda, woulda. And VS code is way more than an editor.

>"No one wants to create desktop apps anymore".

I actually have native desktop product and it keeps bringing me some dosh for what is a very little maintenance.
I sort of have an idea on what he meant. Everyone in my family and close friends have at least one Apple device and the “collaborative” environment in that sense is wonderful, especially with Reminders, notes, sharing files etc.

It however fails once you go outside.

Might be a stupid analogy so let’s net focus on this but I sort of see it like this:in my country, we can speak our language and it works for collaboration. Once you go outside, it fails. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t successful as a “collaborative” tool for that environment.

I think you and op just might have different scales of where you think it should work well enough.
