I know Portuguese IT workers earning vastly more than that remotely, and I've been honestly quite impressed with Portuguese developers, so Portugal is a bit of an odd case. I suspect for the IT market the salaries paid in Portugal don't match up to the salaries actually being paid to many IT workers.
Does anyone have an example of a codebase that uses Design By Contract to an extreme extent? You really only get a sense of the power of patterns like this when you see that power abused. I've greatly enjoyed writing 2 very small codebases in that style...but that doesn't mean I did it well or that it'd hold up after years of maintenance from a revolving door of developers.

> I don't currently have a standard way to ask about this

Typically I don't ask about the overall trend, but ask a bit about each of their last few jobs including their reason for leaving each. (This works regardless of whether they've had many or few jobs.)

Then you can decide whether you think there's a worrying trend (e.g. talking disparagingly about every single one of their many < 1- year jobs) or generally reasonable reasons for moving on.
The LiDAR on the iPhone is limited, but fun. Commercial lidars are hella expensive (last time I looked).

Looked at your sketchfab collection. Lovely work.

For those who don’t know, Sketchfab allows you to preview the mesh using the layers button. Your bread roll model is nicely detailed with quite a tight mesh.

It is possible to model anything in 3D, but for complex (organic or natural) objects, nothing beats PG. Your bread roll model I would certainly use in middle distance. However, for close up ‘her’ shots all PG acquired models fail, unless they are significantly retopologized. The outcome would be a tidy quad mesh.

Having been retopologized, I would then have to project the original textures onto the new model.

The origami RGB imformation would then have to have its lighting information removed, either in photoshop or Ali soft delighter. In this way, I would be able to independently light it inside of my compositor or 3D app.

The final task would be to cook up some kind of roughness map. Likely I would derive this from the RGB map.

For those who are interested, my link below leads to a resource that details this process.

That’s money spent on fees to execute a transaction. It’s usually relatively small to the amount of value transacted. If we assume a 1% fee burden, then Ethereum transferred $200M that day in value. And that’s low-balling it, the actual amount is probably in the billions.

What you fail to understand is that Crypto is huge. $1Bn is a shit-ton-lot of money and the current market cap is $795Bn. Stables tokens alone account for around $100Bn of that. And keep in mind, on a relative basis, this is the worst crypto winter ever. The bottom is probably in or close. I think we’ll see prices rise up again mid-2023.
Found the root cause from https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go/commit/383b1143 (original issue: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go/issues/75):

// Note that ServeHTTP uses Go's HTTP/2 server implementation which is
// totally separate from grpc-go's HTTP/2 server. Performance and
// features may vary between the two paths.

The lightstep collector serves both gRPC and HTTP traffic on the same port, using the ServeHTTP method from the comment above. Unfortunately, Go's HTTP/2 server doesn't have the improvements mentioned in https://grpc.io/blog/grpc-go-perf-improvements/#reducing-flu.... The frequent flushes mean it can suffer from high latency with Nagle enabled, or from high packet overhead with Nagle disabled.

This results in logical regress: any positive evidence that Nakamoto was a native-English speaking Westerner can be spun into negative evidence of an exceptionally advanced adversary.

What's the applicable result to this? Put children who eat marshmellows too quickly in special "delayed gratification" classes? Is the result such that all children who eat marshmellows too quickly should give up, as their success is predetermined, or is it the impact is barely statistically significant?

If I were the parent of a child who ate the marshmellow too quickly, I would do nothing different, as the whole thing is meaningless and doesn't change anything. It's more like, "Oh, OK, my son is 4% less likely to be in the top 20% of the income distribution (according to this barely coherent theory)."

I've automated the opposite: three unsolicited mails, and I automatically send the sender's entire company to spam and reply with a friendly request to stop. Three more, and I send an automated cease and desist, threatening legal action (with receipt confirmation requested). If it still continues after that, I actually involve lawyers.

Most people are only willing to do something after repeated attempts because they're polite and want you to stop. If a website asks you whether you want cookies, you only click "yes" because the alternative is more work. If you constantly pester and threaten someone long enough, you'll always get a "yes" at some point. But that's not consent, which is why it's illegal.

Even if lawyers cost money, if I'm just expensive and stressful enough to stop people like you from sending even a single unsolicited message, it's worth it. Time is the most valuable resource we humans have, you've got no right to waste other people's.

Sure, there are institutional investors holding crypto, but how is this related to the current discussion of securing crypto? They're not exactly keeping their crypto holdings in a software wallet connected to the internet. They typically outsource that to companies that specialize in crypto custody, which presumably have better security practices than the OP.
Not invalidating the rest of your chain of reasoning, since I agree with the idea this is likely to lead to eventual space based mid course interception….

While MEO satellites are able to do the job, they pose a greater “systemic risk” than LEO satellites do.

If a war goes hot with long range use of prompt global strike style hypersonic weapons against the USA or its closely allied military alliance partners like UK, Japan, Australia, Canada, etc… we’re talking about a scenario where the potential adversaries are going to be precipitously close to the use of anti satellite weapons, and potentially even nukes but let’s ignore them and focus on the satellites.

If you have a smaller number of larger MEO platforms (and they need to be larger to accommodate instruments that can to do their job from further away) your much more vulnerable to having large parts of your system knocked out. These larger platforms will also cost more, so you have less redundancy, higher costs, and are more vulnerable when your system will be needed most. The final systemic risk element is the post action debris risk… if a war goes hot and someone starts chucking ASAT weapons around, then we’re going to have a pile of debris, the sort of debris left behind by a kinetic kill ASAT in medium earth orbit is easily an order of magnitude more of an issue to other satellites for decades to centuries, it’s further away from all the existing space surveillance radar and optical systems on the ground making it harder to track the kind of small high velocity shrapnel that will have spread furthest away from the original orbit, which complicates the replacement of any destroyed space based assets as it will take longer to work out new safe orbits. LEO assets on the other hand have much shorter debris risk lifetimes, decades is usually the case as opposed to centuries, and LEO is much easier to track higher risk shrapnel debris down below 10cm, leading to better operational safety before and after a potentially satellite destroying hot war, meaning they are more likely to have a working system when needed and be able to replace it faster when damaged.

It’s a logical and reasonable argument on several fronts. However I do still agree with the assessment that eventually if the military has a sophistication LEO fleet of hundreds or thousands of Starlink style satellites, they are basically half way to the Star Wars “Brilliant Pebbles” architecture and it won’t be long until someone tries to build the other half of the architecture assuming they aren’t already planning this.

Could be wrong but, at least in C++, there's realistically no overhead to creating a trivial object that you wouldn't have by manually instantiating the variables anyway.

(Ignoring virtual stuff, lengthy constructors -- code run is code run but a raw object I think is by itself relatively harmless.)
I am not a lawyer but depending on where you reside there may be a specialized legal trust available to appoint a corporate trustee to manage paying for your domain and website provider. Even better, the trust managers could pay a group to ensure the site stays up and current and ensuring your site is also compatible with all the archiving bots. In most places living trusts are limited to 35 years after you pass but you could probably have that trust transfer to a family members trust. A lawyers that specializes in legal trusts could probably come up with a clever way to do this. All of this said, trust managers are often spread thin and some give minimal effort and this will cost a lot.

Or if you really trust a VPS provider, just pre-pay them way too much money and see if you can get a mutually binding contract that is transferable upon death to a family member to keep the site alive. Co-admins.

Another vote for Startech here. I needed to find a USB hub that could drive 10-20 USB 1.1 devices at full USB 1.1 speed, Startech was one of the few manufacturers to build such a device AND provide the detailed specifications I needed to verify the feature.

> They don't want to make you happy or feel good, they want money, at all costs which results in you being angry and toxic.

I agree that the incentives between users and social media don't align. However, there still would be none if there was an incentive for social media to "make users happy" or "make users feel good". As long as a single entity is in in a position to control the experience of all users (for example by deciding which timeline/suggestion algorithms are used) users have to keep track of how the incentive structure of that entity evolve. That means as a user, I want to own my interface to networks (so I get to choose e.g. suggestion algorithms). That's one of the cool things of the fediverse or email. By design, no single entity can make the user experience for all users strictly worse because there is no way to force adoption of something that goes against users incentives.
Aw go on, link it. I like looking at random blogs from HN contributers.
> Yeah, that's how most things work in the physical world. If you want to secure a widget, then you need to "secure a physical object that grants irrevocable ownership" of it.

You can’t steal my house by obtaining the deed. You can’t steal my stock by obtaining the stock certificates. That’s not how it works. The vast majority of wealth in developed countries doesn’t rely on physical security to maintain ownership. We’ve collectively outsourced that function to the government and other institutions, so we don’t have to individually hire bodyguards to prevent criminals from taking possession of our homes and stealing our assets.

Most people only hold a relatively small amount of wealth in forms that can by physically stolen (eg. petty cash, electronics). This means that you only need to defend yourself against a $1000 crime (stealing your TV), which is a lot easier than defending against a $1M crime (stealing your house or 401k).

If crypto requires holding my wealth in a hardware wallet that can be stolen, that means I’m only going to be willing to invest the amount of wealth I would spend on a TV, not the kind of wealth I am going to allocate to stocks or bonds.

Granted, crypto has utility for people who can’t use the government-backed institutions, like criminals. And in some countries where the government will steal your money, it has broader appeal. I won’t argue with that.
I think most educators and teachers know that students won't get the classics. The goal is to at least make the students comfortable with the difficult language of the classics, and make them realize that analysis of these books yields deep insights.

If they instead taught students easier books in schools, student would never develop the reading skills to tackle the classics, and a much smaller percentage of adults would ever bother rereading the classics or even acknowledge their power.

Of course, the teaching has to be improved so that students never hate it.

I agree. IMO, Java-style OOP conflates 2 different concepts, polymorphism and inheritance.

Polymorphism (including dynamic dispatch and duck typing) is a game changer, in that it encourages simple, stable interfaces, enables testing, encourages encapsulation, etc. It's a key technique for building big projects.

Inheritance is a tool for reducing the amount of code written by a human, among many others (things like code generation and composition) I haven't seen it unlock other important conceptual domains the way polymorphism does.

Unfortunately many undergraduate curriculums get overly excited about inheritance when teaching OOP. I guess animal-cat-dog is an easy example (though totally unrealistic), but the problems polymorphism solves don't often show up in classroom-sized projects.

I’ve in general grown somewhat averse to the “burden of proof points in some direction” line of thinking.

They are both making claims. (And I think usually most people are making some sort of claim, unless they are just nitpicking). One is claiming that they remember a study — pretty vague, and easily proven (as far as we can tell at least) by just showing us any study. The other is claiming that that study doesn’t replicate… without having seen it, which seems like a pretty high bar to clear.
