So do stocks and fiat currency though; it's not the crypto that generates revenue, it's what's done with e.g. investor money that makes it more valuable.

Where does a bank account's interest come from? It's fiat currency, it generates zero revenue just sitting in an account. But the bank invests it, by e.g. giving people loans for which they pay interest. Likewise so with cryptocurrencies and so.

In theory anyway, I'm an amateur but IIRC staking is a way to enforce stability in the crypto market, lock currencies into place to have some guarantees for the future and for certain projects that require currencies / things being locked in.
It's the same for most industries. I constantly see comments from construction workers "Every building I worked on was rushed and absolute crap, I wouldn't be surprised if they collapsed in a year" and yet they almost never do.
> But hey, I am not arguing for feature flags. No, Sir, please no.

Why do you prefer not to work with feature flags? For context, the product I am working on (which is not very big) uses a simple development/production split to enable or disable features. Several people have recommended using feature flags, but since I have not previously worked on projects that utilized them, I want to learn more about the advantages and disadvantages from a developer's perspective.
Look, I'm sure you took a stats course so you know all of this, but it's not the number of patients that matters, it's the number of events in the endpoint. They got 5 on treatment and 10 on control. If they wanted p<.05 they would need to substantially enlarge the study. The good news is that among vaccinated, "standard risk" people, it's fairly rare to go to the hospital even without Paxlovid.

This study just isn't powered well enough to say for sure whether Paxlovid provides a hospitalization/death benefit or not for the standard risk group. It also doesn't really provide any good information about whether newer variants cause Paxlovid to work better or worse.
I don't know if you are implying that it's related to the war or something. Sadly, I am more of the belief that it's a trend. I think we will see much more of it.
If you are looking for a high-quality, compact Sandhai canvas board that is perfect for small works of art, then the Funbo Stretched Canvas Board is the perfect choice for you this canvas board is compact enough to be easily transported and stored, yet large enough to provide ample space for your artistic creations.
In a sense though the circle has been closed. With the latest JSON Schema spec, we were able to do a 1:1 mapping between our XSD's and JSON Schema, so now we can accept JSON as well as XMLs.

For small messages though I agree JSON is smoother.
It is like in the early youtube days where everyone was just waiting who is going to shut them down.
Seems like there are a couple of people with this mindset at every company. “Let’s write X”, “are you crazy, no one writes X! We can use Y!”, “But Y lacks Z”, “No! The thing you want Y to do is bad! You should not want Z! Do W instead - it is the correct way”

Stop larping as graybeards, and try to actually do something instead of endlessly bike shedding your cargo cult.
Thanks! I'll look into it and see if there is something that can be equally useful and ethical to do :)
Keyboards are lightning too; they come with a lightning -> USB-C cable in the box. I imagine all of their lineup will eventually move to it, shame it wasn't in one swoop though.
TBH, config is one of those Pandora's boxes - what happens if I want to do an integration test using a dev database and local docker images? what about testing after deployment to prod?

Given the myriad of configurations that can exist, including secrets management, static data etc. I would be very tempted to try to build tooling around a sqlite database, storing all your configs including static data, and update it with secrets at runtime. This way you can even remotely interface with the configuration for debug/monitoring, lint the config before commits etc.
Everything is crap because people can't afford to have the pinnacle of human creation for every product in their lives. The crap one will suffice just fine.
"The STL library lacks support for some modern programming tools, for example, native co-routine support. As a result, developers must rely on many community projects, and most lack long-term support."

I couldn't agree more with this comment. As great as the community is, there's a lot of projects that are just not maintained. I wish this was different.

There is no such exception.
XML has a unique spot in the intersection of payload and human crafted file.

JSON is something I see as payload-only really. And YAML etc are human-craft only.

One thing I would change in XML is that closing a tag should not need to specify the name. <> should close any tag. It would make editing a bit easier and save a byte or two.

> That's exactly what happens here because new coins minted for stakers have any value only because new investors purchase the currency and prop up its price

One could design a "staking" system that is directly reliant on other people's money coming in for your payout to happen. This is not what is happening here.

Staking as done by this protocols itself never promised you anything but a yield in the crypto currency itself.

Maybe you think crypto in general is a ponzi scheme because people only want to sell to new entrants for a profit, but that's a different issue (not not necessarily true - it also works with a fixed set of people you keep wanting to gamble).
You can do this in Python with 1 function call:

Partly it’s commoditization (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commoditization). There’s no money in differentiation of image formats (in part because browsers dictate what formats people can view, but also because the current set is good enough for typical use cases). Note taking apps seem to think there is in note taking.

Partly it’s not true. Tools such as Photoshop have their own image format. You could even claim PDF is the format we converged on for exchanging rich text data.

Most of it is for cargo, but still specially with containers you need very high superstructure. And you want it to be mostly empty space like rooms. As heavy liquids and so on are preferably close or below sea level.

In the end why not provide decent amount of space for crew as there isn't really any that valuable use.

> You've made a few mistakes, they are all rooted in not understanding that Bing Chat is not GPT, nor is it ChatGPT. You're stuck on LLMs while the world is moving on to LLMs as a component, not the whole solution.

It is a GPT (Using OpenAI's one) and fundamentally it is a black box neural network that when asked to explain it's own decisions, it still cannot transparently do so. This have been an unsolved problem for decades and still overlooked by every AI hype cycle to date.

> And even in LLMs, it sounds like you're still seeing training/retraining as single monolithic events which are super expensive. Training is super expensive! New techniques (google LoRA; there are others) are changing that.

Perhaps that is why only Big Tech companies are the ones doing it for training LLMs and the so-called 'AI companies' aren't doing it themselves and still sit on their AI APIs hence why you could only name Google who can afford to foot the bill for training their LLM.

Everyone else has to sit on their APIs just like before.

> I hope you get into what has changed in the past few years...

I think you have struggled to address the other short-comings that both LLMs and fundamentally neural networks still face that I have already outlined.

Until I see a open-source LLM or some other open source solution that matches or surpasses OpenAI's GPT offerings in parameters, explainability, and is small enough in model size to fit on a smartphone then we can discuss about how this AI cycle is worth the hype. Having yet another AI API product with even larger and expensive models sitting behind a SaaS is an indication of another AI bubble.
And that's why whenever I want to contribute to a MIT/ISC/BSD/WTFPL licensed project, instead I just fork it and make my own changes GPLv3 only.

If companies can make proprietary forks, I can make a GPLv3 fork. Best of all, no company can take my changes and make them proprietary. And if the maintainers want to merge my changes, they've got to relicense to GPL.
It is no longer open source, there’s no doubt about it. You may have a free beer license to it as long as elastic grants you one, but you have no right to modify, patch, redistribute as you see fit.

Open source projects that relied on ES are cut off.
My web-technology professor at my uni (around 2007) was a big fan of XML and all the surrounding technologies. He saw it as this beautiful interconnected system where the web being pure XML would allow all data in the world to be queried like a database and transformed into any format you wanted.

The web sure didn't go that way...
whether the gained wealth from exploitation of people outside of USA allowed more mobility between wealth classes inside of USA - that would be a complicated discussion for me

I was merely pointing out the fact that it was possible to ascent to higher wealth class in USA with regular 'honest work' some years ago, whereas in Europe this is in general impossible due to taxation schemes designed to suck the life out of anyone who decides to work as opposed to being born an 'aristocrat' inheriting money, land etc...
I can only match anecdote with anecdote, but I've seen two Lightning ports fail and zero USB-C. Micro-usb did have a tendency to break but not more than mini-usb, and that's not anecdotal-- the port design was so prone to failure USB-IF redesigned it (it was still prone to failure but slightly less so).
Don't you mean hover.com?
Im not opposed to that, just put the recipie first
Another (extreme) example of that is Australian Aboriginals. The government literally forces companies to give them jobs and they still remain poor.

There's a whole strain of academic sociological research that asks why efforts to fix this always fail. I read one of the papers once, it got linked to from somewhere and it was interesting. It described the cultural issues reasonably well but bent over backwards to paint the problems as mere differences, not something they should fix but as things others should just learn to somehow work around (they had no suggestions for how). The possibility that the aboriginals are fine as they are and don't care about getting richer didn't really come up either which was interesting.

The major problem is timekeeping. Apparently you can't say to an aboriginal, "let's meet at 10am" because they might just turn up at 2pm instead and not see anything wrong with that. Or they might go walkabout and you don't see them for days. In turn it means they can't be integrated into any kind of team-based workforce, which in turn means they can't hold down any kind of job (like mining).

Another issue is the cultural fixation with funerals. They're expected to travel back to attend a funeral for almost anyone in their village, at any time, at short notice, and they always do it even if it conflicts with work commitments. They don't care if they lose their job as a consequence.

The sociologists have a neat way to describe this cultural feature - they say aboriginals view time as circular and endless, vs the linear time that everyone else uses. To what extent this is a rationalization of western academics vs something real is a bit of a open question.
In my huble experience:

- XML parsers were quite bad in the old days (2000), even in java land.

- Parser speed is a functin of the input size. And XML inputs are quite big, too big in my humble opinion.

- you have tag attribute and tag value, and so people get confused on how to use them for simple scenario.

- & must be escaped but no one does it. So when 'AT&T' ended up in a stream created by "hand" by a COBOL procedure, the XML got suddenly broken

- < and > musty be escaped, and so your SQL queries must be escaped

JSON is simply an associative hierarchical maps.
A Lot of 1995 PHP code used the same data structure and just works.
No attribute, only hierachy recursive structure.

Recusion always wins.

One of the proper, necessary functions of any investment market is to take money away from people who do the wrong things with it. That is how the system is MEANT to work. "I am an amateur who guessed randomly and threw money at things I didn't understand" is a confession, not a defence.

Obviously, an interesting one. Like John Connor said once, "in this future I don't know if we can win this war".

The AI revolution isn't driving any singularity scenario soon, but massive layoffs are in the books for the years to come, hence some yet unchallenged paradigms, like capitalism and free market, are going to undergo deep, extensive QA testing worldwide.

But other subsystems of the world are going to be taken down entirely almost without warning, right now many journalist, illustrators are just waiting for some company to release a U$S 8/month service replacing most of their work.

Google/DeepMind already have a generative model for music, so, with some bad luck, in one-two years you could see spotify depleted of cheap human sang songs, replaced by refurbished stuff, possible thousands of incredible songs, generated - maybe - weekly. No significative human involvement required.

Other stuff like whisper (audio to text), and other opensource models, are just rolling their way into stuff everywhere, where their competitive advantage is mostly replacing humans in the loop, doing the work faster, at an astounding cheaper cost.

So this future isn't Skynet-like one, nor 1984, nor other dystopias, in this future we have cellphones and chatGPT, and they are awesome :-)

The difference would be that you wouldn't fork processes for `cat` etc, instead treat them as builtins (like `echo` or `which`).

In many respects the failure of XML to live up to the grandiose promises made in the 90s was due to the lack of decent tools around XML. Decent structure-aware, refactoring, editors didn't exist then, and barely do now. XML cries out for something like paredit, but dumbed down and tag aware. The author shouldn't even have to see the textual representation of the tags.

But, primarily, the thing that made JSON win out is that it reflects the existing semantic/data-structure model of an actual programming language (and approximates that of many others.)

XML (and XSchema, oh god), has this mixture of associative and sequentially ordered data, and two separate kinds of associative/nesting models (elements vs attributes). It wants to eat the world with its new semantic model, but it doesn't offer any particular semantic advantages and doesn't match what programming languages (or relational databases for that matter) work with.

And then on top of that the syntax is just ugly to read.

Still there was a moment in the 90s where I found XML kind of exciting and interesting. I don't really recall why now? Seemed everybody did.

Hereditary nobility doesn't result in less painful violence. It results in way more painful violence less often in the form of revolutions either successful or supressed.

The main value of democracy is making the oppressed docile and easily subjugated.

And yes, winning election in US is way too costly. Budgets for campaigning should be capped. Other countries manage to sustain democracies with far less. Ultimately it doesn't matter who wins as long as it's not the same faction all the time. In that case unrest wouldn't be suppressed and violence would necessarily get more painful.

Democracy didn't win because it's moral or just. It won because it's most efficient system of maintaining oppression in post industrial technological landscape. You can look at how fragile single party system of China is, or Soviet Union was in comparison to even just rudimentary two party system like in US.
After 7 months of writing a database, you probably learned what your early bad decisions were, so in the rewrite you got to fix them.

That is an excellent question! I have been asking that myself all my professional life and I can now make an educated guess:
lack of planning and mediocre specification.

I've read some comments here that I agree with; in a lot of cases the goals in dev are set to implement a solution to a problem either as fast as possible, or without a limited scope.

"We need a software that can fly rockets" - Yeah, but where to?

I studied computer science twice. Both times I have been taught to implement corner cases instead of working on clearly defined projects with scope and specification. "Write a small program that does X" yeah, but the solution space is unlimited, then, maybe? Can you elaborate? Put a scope on it? I mean, can do, may I order compute time on the campus super-computer?

Crap software was there ever since, and it got worse ever since.
