Sorry, as someone who is fascinated with cryptographgy I have to say that NFTs are a technology nobody could explain me the benefits of. Most of them who tried were either naive (and lost money on NFTs) or bad actors trying to sell me something.

The fact that I have not met a single knowledgable person who managed to convince me that NFTs are a good technology that solves problems that need solving in elegant ways doesn't speak about me, it speaks about the topic at hand.

To me NFTs look like this: Somebody was like "how can we make money off the internet if people just can copy everything? We need to limit the supply somehow!" and then they tried to market it to artists "you will earn money this way". I don't even agree that copyability of data is a problem, and the argument of "we can make money by owning and not putting in a lot of work" attracts exactly the kind of bad actor you talked about.

Any technology doesn't live in isolation from society, especially not something like NFTs that makes the extraordinary claim to introduce something as fundamental as ownership within a system that has been built on free copying of data. That means bad actors need to be factored in, especially if you're marketing the thing in the style of a get rich quick scheme.

Maybe you can explain why this is something we want and why this is the technology that solves it?

> the credit system is only related to your ability to repay debts.

Your credit _score_ is only related to a subset of your ability to pay debts.

The US credit system is related to far more things, including housing and jobs.

I, as a person who made a software engineer salary, but never had a credit card or student loans or any other debt, have been bounced by credit checks due to not having a credit score.

That means some apartments won't rent to me, buying a house or car is harder, etc.

I haven't personally had any job issues from it, but it's entirely legal in the US for a potential employer to reject job applicants or rescind offers based on credit check result.

The fact that a private company controls my ability to rent apartments due to this dumb system actually feels far worse to me than if the government controlled it. If the government did, they could at least know that I'd paid my bills on time for years, and had sufficient salary to obviously pay for that apartment.

> And it is not centralised to the same entity that has a monopoly on force.

How is that a good thing? We already have given the government a monopoly on force, so they already have unrestricted power over our lives... why does then giving another unrelated private company _more_ power seem better? Since the government already has 100% power over whether you go to jail or not, them also being able to say you're a good or bad debtor seems better since it doesn't give them any additional power, just a more fine-grained way to use their power.

I'd expect that given the state of the economy (with companies looking to shore up their finances and expecting a recession), the budget for conferences, paid for by businesses (whether attending, or sponsoring), are going to be drying up. Unfortunately, i think these conferences are the ones that bring in paid speakers.

The small, indie conferences would generally ask for volunteer speakers (at least, for small indie conferences that i have watched before), and so those could continue but not if the tickets are expensive, and also wouldn't bring in much revenue for the speakers generally. They are a labour of passion.
What you described would have happened with any other framework available at that time when you make poor design choices. I don't see anything django specific there

Credit Suisse Finds ‘Material Weakness’ in Financial Reporting
You're right - hardware is tough, and the scope is large. But this is an important area to build better products, there are a lot of people passionate about this/want to work on this and the hardware doesn't have to be designed from scratch. As for trust, the deposit is pretty low stakes, $100, fully refundable, reserves your place in line for a system. For those of you that placed a deposit, thank you, it means a lot!
Sounds good.. although this comes to mind: https://xkcd.com/927/ (How standards proliferate)

Heat pumps are basically ACs with inverters allowing them to work at partial load (i.e. 10% pr 20% or 70%). Otherwise, they are as efficient as ACs at full load.

There are few off the shelf AC thermostats that work with most heatpumps: they are usually the on/off variety.

Remotes coming with heatpumps would do the right thing, though, and there are IR blasters that can replicate those signals and integrate into your home automation system.

Zoho founder's wife claims he transferred ownership without telling her
It's not necessarily about whether they're actually making money on those as opposed to covering their costs. Almost any successful company based around open source software (and often closed source) has a huge spread of customers sizes from the hobbyist who plays around with a few things all the way to Fortune 500 enterprises. By having a ramp up in terms of pricing it keeps folks invested in your platform. In cases where there's a big jump there's often quite a bit of hesitance to upgrade unless there's an overwhelming need.

Basically, it's aligning the success of your business to the success of your users. Most of what's offered in Gitlab Premium[1] would be of little value for a small development shop, yet if you have 5 users you're looking at $1000/yr for features that are unlikely to be used. It just doesn't make sense.

*so far.

Other banks don't have a tight nit group of customers so bank runs don't spread as quick.

Most, maybe all, banks don't have enough funds to cover a full on bank run because almost all treasuries bought over a year ago are worth less than their original value.
I like how you ignored the truest reason: they don't want to pay for it, and they don't really care if the current hardware can actually solve FSD.

There's no way you can argue it was done in good faith when it was an arbitrary transition where some functionality hadn't even been solved yet and was disabled if your car didn't come with ultrasonic sensors. And to add to the comical levels of disregard for buyers, the official advice for finding out if your order would have ultrasonic sensors was: "Look for the 12 sensors on your vehicle", ie you didn't know until you paid and it was a roulette wheel.
> because you don't understand that a bailout is exclusive to investors in the direct company receiving financial support

Yeah, it's clear at this point that not only are you trying to play an annoying little semantic game, but to make things worse, you also have no material domain knowledge. For reference, a bailout explicitly does not serve investors, but rather immediate business counterparties.

From the second source: "A bailout occurs when the government
makes payments (including loans, loan guarantees, cash, and other types of
consideration) to a liquidity-constrained private agent in order to enable that
agent to pay its creditors and counterparties, when the agent is not entitled
to those payments under a statutory scheme."

If I recall correctly, it will be cast out of multiple pieces which will be welded together.
Given the amount of high profile kickstarter failures (or delays), i'm surprised that people would continue to do pre-orders and such! I guess if the cost is small, it won't be a loss for the backer even if it was delayed.
These models are as valuable as code now.

And we know how open source eventually took over pretty much all code. I expect this to be the same, but instead of four decades, it will be four months
Yes, but having used both, I'd pick Gitlab CI over Jenkins anytime. YMMV, obviously.
Interesting find! What's funny is this suggested interview question intrigued me enough to consider trying it on upcoming software developer candidates:

> ... ask them to describe almost anything... When the description is complete, ask yourself if you have just heard an enumeration of the pieces or if the candidate has described the heart of the matter

If the question was generated by a ChatGPT bot, perhaps it represents the collected wisdom of the whole internet? Or alternatively, maybe it's a terrible question that will just give useless information.
Russian Assets Reportedly Seized at Baikonur Cosmodrome by Kazakh Authorities
This depends of how many js hooks are used and how efficient they are. Large builds with many plugins / loaders have a parallelism bottleneck with native moving data back to JS.

The slower end, I’ve seen at least 5x improvement. Upper end, I’ve seen 30x. for a optimized prod build.

The project is quite new & fine tuning as it matures will most likely achieve further speed gains. The big benefit is you have a webpack level api & existing ecosystem support. Many current tools offer you speed in trade for api surface.

Smaller api & JS hooks, more speed. I’m not sure what the diff between them is. But a 20k cold dev build takes about 2 seconds. No incremental or lazy compilation is built in, in the initial release.

Rspack offers enormous real world build gains against webpack, while preserving its ecosystem which is a very welcome balance in speed vs power. As a big user & writer of custom plugins or complex builds, I’m not necessarily looking for the absolute fastest build. If a 40 second build takes 2, and esbuild takes 1 - its a negligible difference that I’d be happy to accept for a robust api.

At 50k modules, if a prod build taking ~15 seconds seems plenty fast - those represent some of the largest codebases.

It's been at least 12 years since I had a DB on the same server as the app or service that called it... I can't fathom why anyone would do that these days. But either way, the stored procedures would work just as well. The issue you're alluding to (I think) is the time to set up connections for a dozen calls between the backend and the DB if they're on separate servers. But that's actually less of a bottleneck now than it used to be, with persistent pooled connections and most things hosted in the same VPN zones. I'm not arguing for ORMs... but appside processing [edit: "joins"] can still be appropriate if you're dealing with a monolithic DB and don't want certain giant queries or procedures to block rapid reads. The point is more to understand your infrastructure, and ORMs obfuscate it to a point that makes you irresponsible as a developer in some cases.

Also, with lateral joins and windows in mysql 8 you can really have control over whether you prefer your execution plan to loop or scan. Which takes away most of the rest of the argument for appside processing.
I'm not surprised someone ran an experiment. That's exactly what I thought about when I read the scenario. The level of extraction and the taste of what's extracted will vary depending on the temperature, and adding the milk first lowers the temperature of the fluid the tea is steeping in.

Maybe they should change their business model then if they need predatory loans to survive.

> The maximum theoretical gain from shorting is 100%. A stock can only go to zero. If only 10% of your shorts are wildly correct and go to zero, you just made 10% on that one bet.

That's one way to look at it. A stock can only go down 100%. But shorting can make tons of money because:

a) stairs up, elevator down, it takes shorter amount of time to get the same price movement.

b) leverage, corollary of (a).

c) A stock going from 400 to 200 is a 50% move, from 200 to 400 is a 100% move, in terms of points its exactly the same so you earn the same amount.
To me, one of the best thing in Rust compared to C++ is that I no longer have to be super careful all the time to avoid common pitfalls, I just write stuff and fix compilation warnings/errors until the compiler is happy, and things mostly just work (apart from domain-specific bugs of course)

After getting used to the basics of Rust, I found the cognitive load to become much lower compared to C++. There's just no way I could write correct C++ code in such a careless fashion.

So now I can spend brain cycles on things that actually matter, and it's great.
You are a statist who seems to justify war and killing by anthropomorphosizing countries and speaking about entire populations of civilians as “warlike”. You can stop apologizing for governments and war machines anytime. My side is the regular people, regardless of their nationality — the vast vast majority do not want to kill each other. They are conscripted by their governments to fight, while the politicians and media speak about how “we” must, but neither they or their families actually experience the conditions they send others to. And sitting 3000 miles away it’s even easier to find justifications for a war to continue. You have no skin in the game, after all — but most armchair patriots would have a very different attitude about peace agreements if the war was in your city and putting your family in danger.

But let’s apply your own statist logic.

The USA has been quite warlike, ever since the colonists fought the natives for land. The entire western third of the USA is former Mexico, which they simply won in a war of aggression. USA even tried to invade Canada but was rebuffed. USA has already taken all the land from ocean to ocean and subdued all its neighbors, so now it goes around the world in order to “lead” in every conflict. It spends more on its armed forces than the next 20 countries combined. It has 800 military bases around the world while the rest of the world combined has 30.

Just in the last 25 years, the USA has destroyed more countries than Russia by far (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya etc) and if we go further back, USA used chemical weapons and bombs indiscriminately in multiple countries in south asia etc etc etc.

And NATO is not a “purely defensive” alliance since it bombed Yugoslavia without UN authorization and declared Kosovo independent (much like Russia has done with breakaway republics), invaded Libya and left it a failed state etc.

But now let’s take an exact analogue. So USA sponsored the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba (a neighbor) which failed. Cuba asked USSR for protection and help. USA according to you had no right to interfere, when USSR put missiles on Cuba. And yet, Kennedy wouldn’t allow it. He blockaded Cuba and threatened violence and war unless this was undone.

I actually support Kennedy in doing that to protect his country from USSR putting nukes in a neighboring country. (Nevermind that USA had secretly already done the same in Turkey against USSR, which they declassified later.)

The point is that although Kennedy technically violated international law, the important part is that USSR and USA acted like grownups and deescalated, and even began cooperating and cutting nuclear stockpiles together. That’s what dialogue and respect looks like. It’s possible.

Instead, you’re justifying escalating war and killing based on the most childish argument: “but he started it!” This isn’t how conflict resolution should be done by human adults, let alone adults responsible for the fate of entire populations!

Yeah, as I keep saying in these threads, the performance needed to do "fast enough" terminals was reached no later than the 1980s, and while bits per pixel and resolution has increased since then, it has increased slower than CPU speed. It's not the CPU cost of getting pixels on the screen that bottleneck most terminals.

This is clearly some psyops nonsense.

First of all, the website itself is some obscure made up website (there's plenty of these ever since the days of trump election, Brexit etc.).

Secondly it's a poll from a think tank not a study really, also tenous to say it's EU funded.

Thirdly, the actual article is drivel. It has some weird opinion piece (obviously anti-west) mascarading as fact.

Terrible and dodgey overall.

Conda installs are.. annoying to say the least, but they do provide a better UX compared to manually managing venvs. Your approach seems mature.

I'm not making libraries, just an environment for my own projects)

The original report would be a much better link than this article.

But honestly, these survey results are little more than a reflection of the effectiveness of propaganda.

For example, 77% of Chinese respondents believe China is the closest to a real democracy. For comparison, the next largest country’s citizens saying that about their own country is India, with 57% believing that about India. At least India is a democracy of some form.

Next is the fact that 3/4ths of respondents in India, Türkiye and China believe Russia is as strong or stronger since the war began.

Both these points are as close to facts as you can get. There’s no way China is the closest thing to being a real democracy when it isn’t even a democracy. And there’s no way Russia is stronger since this war began in any form. Russia is poorer, lost prime population both because of people dying and injured in the war and because of emigration, has lost massive amounts of businesses, its primary export product, military arms, was just put to the test and has shown up to be barely competitive with decades older equipment from its competition, it’s lost a ton of business, it’s lost a whole bunch of gas and oil export markets that it hasn’t been able to replace, and even diplomatic relations with its closest partners in India and China have soured with the premiers of both nations publicly rebuking Putin in public forums.

If Xi Jinping or Modi decide they want to pivot away from Russia, I think it won’t take more than a couple of days for these polls to show a rapidly different picture.

If you have the luxury of a safety net or in-demand skillset, then yes, getting laid off is not a risk. If you have less means, and the costs (both monetary and social/emotional) of needing to relocate to find another job turn into something much more daunting. In that kind of situation, loss of a job is a very negative event, much more than, say, a 10% decline of a wealthy person's portfolio would be.

re why work for an employer when you could take your own risk: generally speaking the odds of losing a job due to layoff are still less bad than the odds of a bootstrapped business failing, even if attempting to start a business was a realistic option, which it is not for many people.
