We don't care that your right, and its working. We didn't love you for your business acumen and superior number crunching skills. No we loved you because you brought us the movies we loved and you tried making it an experience that we couldn't find anywhere else. Now?, now your just another soulless money grabbing company that's lost it's way and sold out to squeeze every dime from its customers. Your just another in a long line of businesses that we reluctantly hand our money over to because you have one movie, one series that we love more than you. Once you lose the rights to that, or maybe you just push a bit to hard, we will move on. You have become the thing you tried to destroy, a parasite, a tick that sucks every last drop out of your customer, until we violently rip you out of our lives.

Easy on a Mac. Just press the base letter for a few seconds, and a small pop up will appear and you enter the number (one digit) corresponding to the variant you want. On iOS it’s similar but even easier. Short press, then drag you finger to the variant. Õōøœóòöô. Way easier than alt codes on windows.

> A truly altruistic system would not confer such a huge advantage on early miners

Bitcoin never claimed to be and is not altruistic. And the same can be said about almost all investments, you need information early, you need to judge the information correctly, and you need to move in. Same with bitcoin.
This has JUST started to happen to me recently a few months ago, when sshing into a server and running screen with an emacs inside.

When I reconnect and restart screen back into emacs, ^S pauses output instead of doing an incremental search.

I have to pop out of screen with the right escape sequence to get to the login shell I ran it in, then go "stty -ixon" to disable XON/XOFF flow control. Or always remember to do that before running "screen -RD".

But I never ASKED for flow control, and it has worked PERFECTLY for decades without ever getting into +ixon mode, until just a few months ago, and now it happens every single time.

Did something change recently, is ubuntu auto-installing earth shattering patches that maliciously change the default tty settings behind my back (because XON/XOFF flow control suddenly became cool again?), or did I take a walk on a foggy night and accidentally slip into an alternate universe where it's always been that way for everyone else, and I'm about to be seized by silent men in white coats and taken asylum which turns out to be a rehab clinic for people who can't read minds?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_the_Myriad_Ways

I finally gave up and put an "stty -ixon" in my .bashrc, but I get the ominous feeling that's one of those tempting but dangerous kludges you're not supposed to do -- Isn't there a superstition about never touching your tty in an rc file? Or is that never touching your pp in a login file? -- that can come back and bite you in the ass later when you least expect it.

It seems like this is just the latest in a long series of cascading ass bites.

Marc has taken the longtermist pill.

It’s quite concerning to me that nearly everyone wielding influence over AI development has done the same. The ends will always justify the means to them - what is not worth doing when the supposed end is a techno-utopia where trillions live in endless pleasure?

It’s a very convenient fact that up until this techno-utopia, folks like Marc will be well positioned to reap most of the benefits from technology development.
Would you like to elaborate on the meaning of value based versus reference based?

As gratifying as they are, they get repetitive. Once you've heard one, you've heard them all.

I'd much rather hear about the place that fixed a policy problem that was blocking such progress in the first place. Software is easy, getting people (and orgs) to change is hard, tedious, boring, but absolutely necessary, and more enduring than a lot of software fixes.

It's not. Oil rich countries like Russia and the US have all to win from global warming. Russia is expected to become the biggest grain producer in the world if the planet gets hotter. A lot of their territory will get unfrozen in the process. Why do you think Russia's big oil oligarchs have sponsored so much anti-climate propaganda. They get rich in the process and Russia becomes a bigger pawn on the global economy market. Damn those African and Middle East countries that get roasted in the process. They're basically losing competitors on the oil market.
The tabs vs spaces thing is pretty conclusive. Really.
Nobody knows how much Satoshi mined. And a rational actor would not "dump" coins on the market for giggles, but for profit, hence avoid a market crash. Besides, bitcoin currently has a trading volume of around 10 billion per day, hard to crash that.
The Ardunio from 20 years ago was designed to use hats. It has always been this way.
Every person I've spoken to who visited Colombia warned of two things: 1) There is a very large homeless/beggar population in the cities, who prey on tourists. 2) If you like to explore countries beyond typical tourism, it's safer to do this with a native Colombian that you trust, who knows the dangerous places.

Oddly when I speak to Colombians, they refute both of these warnings every time. I'm not sure if it's a cultural thing to downplay danger or discomfort, but those are #1 on my travel priority list.
Yes, all those known wallets should be burned if anyone really cared about the stability of bitcoin. Others aka "shit coins" do not have this massive amount of cash that could all of a sudden be spent causing a huge crash.

Although very unlikely that anyone will ever crack those keys it is possible that the keys are found by someone or Satoshi himself spends it.

The bitcoin core maximalists should focus on fixing their block including moving to PoS instead of pissing on all other coins constantly.
I share a number of the same values as the author. I also have a hard time with not understanding things and relying on others. But I guess I understand Hugo and GitHub pages (I use gitlab pages) well enough that I'm happy to use them.

I wonder if the author owns a car, and if he does, which?

Locking my Hugo build with something like Nix makes that comfortable. I can upgrade as I discover bugs but can always go back if it ain't broke. I do wish sometimes they would stop adding features.

What it's driving me to do in this same vein is build my own Hugo theme.

Also, tend to agree about dynamic sites vs JavaScript behemoths.

Disagree with the authors styling, and am a big fan of classless lightweight CSS, of which there are a number to choose from these days (I keep a list).
> Behind every marker crash there's people's lives changing forever.

Absolutely.

My reply was directed towards bitcoin as a technology.
The market volatility but more important the constant manipulators and bad actors really have a negative impact in people's lifes.

But most often we see this happening to people that are invested in crypto but not users of it. Because they keep their money on exchanges, they are not taking advantage to the security and self sovereignty that comes with crypto.
There is no evidence that bitcoin will die or wouldn't recover from market dumps.

However there's plenty examples of exchanges going under or stealing people's assets forever.
It could be that the modem can still see the phone tower, but its handshake to create a 3G connection fails, which it then retries indefinitely.

That would be different to having no signal whatsoever, where modem wakes up, listens for a tower, concludes there’s nothing there and goes back to sleep again.

That would explain why this issue is only cropping up now that 3G is being turned off, and how this scenario was missed by engineers. They assumed there was either a tower they could communicate with, or nothing. They didn’t account for a perfectly good tower being available, advertising itself as a recognisable network, but refusing to handshake.
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson believes that only one person fits the profile of the mysterious Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.
In a surprise Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on YouTube, Hoskinson reveals that he has narrowed down his search to one person who he believes is the only individual that fits the part.

“I’ve been very vocal lately on this. I think that first, it doesn’t matter but second, it’s probably Adam Back. If you look at the preponderance of the evidence, Occam’s razor applies and the most likely answer usually is, and there’s no mystique or magic there but he just fits the profile. You’re looking for somebody who’s in their 40s to 50s who created Bitcoin in 2008. That would fit Adam. English education, grammar, all that stuff, the right computer science background, exactly the right credentials you’d look for. You probably can get pretty far with code stylometry towards validating that.” [1]

The most credible candidate is someone who was very familiar with and keen on its technology, yet did not engage publicly in the first few years [2].

POW fixed a problem POS does not solve, it is an entirely decentralized, trustless system. It is not possible to move to POS, the only coins who can do that are coins that are not decentralized and trustless to begin with.
If you want a NAS, buy a NAS. I really don’t get people’s desire to take an underpowered single board computer and try to turn it into a useful server. There are absolutely places where a Raspberry Pi makes sense, those places are where you’ve got electronics you want to interface with complex software that can’t viably be run on a smaller MCU.

The whole point is that we are constantly finding causal, not casual relationships with our microbiome.

Just last week there were two significant discoveries:

For what is being found in long Covid for example, a promising hypothesis is viral persistence in the gut causing major dysbiosis and leading to lower production of serotonin. And we even saw the transfer of Alzheimer’s symptoms from an old host to a young one.

I think it just shows how important microbes are in our lives and what a strong influence they have.

I think both sides of the war are horrible war criminals, but Israel has repeatedly both bombed civilians and lied about bombing civilian, so it’s Occam’s razor that they did it here too, and the burden of proof is on them to provide any evidence at all for misfire theory.
Diagrams are similar to textual documentation: You generally can’t auto-generate useful ones from code, unless the code has extra markup that specifies what to generate. Diagrams often present a specific perspective that emphasizes certain features while omitting others. You might have several diagrams for the same entity, each illustrating a different aspect or scenario.

The upshot is that diagrams have to be maintained in conjunction with the code and application architecture, just like textual documentation. There’s just no alternative to simply putting the work in, and making it a regular part of change management.
For a long time, GUADEC, Gnome User and Developer Conference, was supported for video recording by Collabora and other smaller free software companies which did the heavy lifting in Gstreamer too (a/v framework that's the base for GNOME apps). My apologies if I am misrepresenting who did what, maybe it was Igalia or another company: this was 15-20 years ago.

How much of the actual video recording equipment was coming with free firmware — probably none — does not change the fact that these are people improving the situation rather than just accepting that the hardware you buy is at the mercy of the original vendor.

The alternative might be Google paying their fair share of taxes. I might consider supporting their product then. Ad blocking is not as severe as tax avoidance though.

> Take the parts that work for your team and scrap the ones that don't.

Precisely. Any time someone utters the descriptor "best practice", at best, you do yourself a favor by examining it with a critical eye and judge whether it is a good practice to follow (and a good fit for your project) or not. At worst, you beat back the consultants framing it as "the one and only way to do things (with the implication that everything else is wrong)."
> why are they leaving money on the table by not implementing those things?

> The answer is obvious. There's nothing stopping them from making things arbitrarily shitty

Two things to say about this: one, the laws of physics are stopping them, because developer time is limited. Two - there may be better ways to deliver growth right now, but over time there will be fewer such options.

> Isn't this already a thing today? I think GM pioneered it with OnStar. I don't think there's even a car that does auto-911 today for free.

So I guess then consumers aren't really stopping them.

> they don't because consumers will hate it and switch to a competitor that doesn't have those things.

Investors are not emotionally attached to a company, they will switch over to the ones delivering financial results this quarter. If that comes with consumer relations being irreparably damaged, does it concern an investor? They'll just hop to another company in the industry next. I said that this is an industry problem, and I meant it. It's not just one car manufacturer doing this, it's all being pushed towards doing it by the same force.

I think a lot of people have never traded even stocks in their lives and they don't see this part of it. Market-dominating companies about to enshittify their products are cash cows. And if they enshittify so much that they fall off the market, in a healthy market with many companies such as automotive, there will always be a company forced to enshittify to prop up its stock. It's not even just about sourcing investment - the net worth of the c-suite if often tied to the stock and they aren't looking to cash out when it's down.

Regardless, the overall effect is slowly making the whole industry hostile to the consumer. This is like private health insurance or life insurance - go ahead, switch to one that doesn't charge you a premium for your preexisting condition. And get your employer to switch. Not so easy when the entire market is guided by the same incentives that work against you, is it?
Git Tags vs. Branches: When to Use Them [video]
Long ago, when I was young(er), I made the trek to YC's Startup School one year. I was sitting in the audience when someone asked Marc Andreessen how they should go about deciding when to break up with their cofounder.

I still remember Marc's answer exactly: "If there's any doubt, then there's no doubt."

I know it's such a huge decision that I, as a random Internet commenter, won't be able to convince you. Let me try anyway: It's been eight months. Presumably, you've tried everything you're going to try to fix this. What else is left that you haven't tried? What are you logically expecting to have happen here?

And how much more of your life are you planning to invest in a situation like this, when you could easily go elsewhere and be working in a productive situation instead?

Imagine that you want to make an apple pie. Normally you would buy all the components and utensils, then bake it in a pre-existing oven.

But if you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you first need to create a Universe, and you likely go for the simplest Universe that supports apple pies. The overall stack would be simpler (especially if you pursue simplicity and ease of understanding as a goal), but the last step, making the actual pie, may be more involved, and the taste of the resulting pie may be not top-notch. In exchange, you have a pie which you completely understand from first principles.

I get the points about not needing a formalised system for diagrams, even if C4 is quite light touch in my opinion (I never go down to the code level).

However, I do have to credit structurizr, which outputs C4 diagrams, as a great productivity boost. One model producing multiple views at all specificities is fantastic compared to mermaid, plantuml, etc, where every diagram needs to be self contained and define and redefine the same components over and over. Branching off, editing the model, presenting ideas, has been a very successful workflow for me.

That's a pretty big claim. I disagree with it, but I agree about the idea of language models being a fundamental part of an artificial mind. Language is like the TCP/IP of ideas, we put data into it, and then extract data from it.

But the language and the data we extract from it are two different things, IMO.
