How many lifetimes do you have to spend on HODLing? Because if me and the other commentor are willing to compare Bitcoin to religion, imagine how hostile the regular public will be towards it. You know, the people who were warned for years to not use unmediated currency because it wildly increases the risk of scamming?

Your initial claim that Bitcoin is not cryptocurrency is obvious bullshit that would rightfully have you laughed out of any properly scientific establishment. You have not produced any evidence to disprove that and are instead quibbling with the other commenter about the nature of their insult. Dust yourself off, find a new hobby like model trains or science fiction. Being the Ayn Rand of computer economics will routinely end with your funeral being empty and everyone remembering you as a greedy crook. Case-in-point: Elon Musk.

It doesn't seem to be that consistent, at least in the US. In the UK about 20 years ago it seemed that most universities had a networking course that would at least get someone to the point of being able to converse with a CCNA even if they went into much more academic detail. My uni ran optional UNIX-titled courses outside of the degree to ensure staff and students had access to some practical training. It touched on Linux networking too.

I'm now in the US and I find I'm horrified at the level of networking knowledge, but occasionally impressed at the level of knowledge on other topics. It's no consistent set of topics because there seems to much more flexibility. The UK is fairly rigid with electives.

A fair counterargument, but I think that the line delineating "psychiatric pathology" is not as clear as you imply. Many such pathologies are arguably socially constructed and sometimes even contagious in similar ways (see the book "Crazy Like Us").

I think "being vulnerable to social contagion to an extent that leads you to literally inflict harm on yourself" is definitely within the scope of being classified as a psychiatric pathology, even if it hasn't been yet. It seems like there's little difference between this and, say, anorexia.

Regulation and intervention is what defacto can loot us. It is harmful that someone comes and says: we are going to get 65% of what you earn and put more public workers and invest in two business from my friend. Regulation is what allows your friend have free competition if conveniently tweaked... austerity is not democratic? It is democratic looting or chosen by a few only? All these topics are closely related if you think of it a bit beyond the surface.

In my experience, talking about Spain, I am not sure where that upper bound of expenses you talk about is. In EU according to the rules debt should not be over 60% of GDP. Spain is over 110% and after covid they did not cut back to the normal expenses...Every spanish owes over 30.000 euros in debt... I mean each of them, all ages.

Any reasonable person could tell you that here health system and public education are degrading at the same time the taxes go up steadily.
This doesn't strike me as all that different from random rural races that were run on dirt tracks that I attended when I was much younger. It wasn't a theme like this, but it was effectively the same thing. This race is what "racing" was in those areas in all but name.

The cars were cheap cars that folks in the area picked up, lots of elbow grease ... and they had a race. Usually there would be a demolition derby between heats, and if they had a lot going on a mud run too.

That's not a criticism, it seems very fun.

Devenv includes direnv integration, but the main feature is organizing development environment configurations using a NixOS-like module system rather than declaring them as packages (simple functions).

Guix (deliberately) doesn't support anything like the NixOS module semantics. 'Services' are its alternative, of course. I don't know if there is a capability for per-project service declaration in Guix atm, but it wouldn't surprise me!
I've used dd-wrt on my home routers in the past -- I bought a pre-flashed linksys router from FlashRouters, a support company affiliated with the project. The router worked fine for a year and then started dropping connections. Then, it took a lot of time for me to debug whether it was a software or hardware issues (it was hardware after all).

To replace it, I saw that Asus routers use a custom wwrt by default. And if you want to truly control it, there's an open source project that lets you adjust it more (Merlin).

I bought an Asus router and haven't looked back.

I ran an intern program for a year as a software development leader at a previous job. About 25 interns ran through the program that I created. Each intern was paired with a full-time mid to senior-level developer. Out of the interns, only about 5 were decent and required very little handholding while the others required quite a bit of work to answer their questions and keep them on task. Of those 5 decent interns, I only offered full-time employment offers to 2 of them. I believe we paid $16-$20 per hour (the executive team set that rate) and most worked around 10-20 hours per week while a few were able to work upwards of 30-35 hours.

I can only speak for my experience, but I couldn't make it work financially and we would have gotten a lot more done had we used those funds to pay for 1 or more nearshore or offshore resources. It created a fun environment and I think everyone learned and grew from the experience, but from a productivity and financial point of view, I don't think it was worth it.

So based on your experience with Eastern European devs, I think your money would be best spent on hiring 1 or more additional devs from Eastern Europe.

Based on my interaction with LLM enthusiasts, there are plenty of people would happily bet their career, give up all their credentials, and grant full access to all their devices to LLM if they are promised something cool. See the stories about lawyers giving LLM-generated materials to the judge for an example, or journalists submitting LLM-generated articles.

Yes, this occasionally ruins someone's day. No, this would not stop true enthusiast from trusting the model again.

>We easily can. With the network effect,

Sometimes I wonder if people read what they actually write?

What you're saying is you want everyone to disconnect and no longer be part of the network effect we're currently under.... This thinking seems to have a few flaws.

1. You have to remain within the supposed 'bad' network effect to broadcast your message. If you leave and go do your IRL things, you won't be there to broadcast your message (maybe bots doing it for you?).

2. You expect said networks to carry your message. You: "Lets all go outside", X: "Your message has been deleted due to violations of community standards".

3. You assume that being terminally online is not an addiction. That is just saying "Hey, lets go outside" has any effect on the vast majority of people that need to hear the message. Don't think of being on like smoking, it's not something you can just ban because it's part of life now. Think of it like eating, and how poorly that is going for the world at the moment with ever increasing obesity rates.

The $100 price tag is much less important to me than long term production runs. I hope they take a page from the pcengines playbook, and arrange to build this with minimal changes over a 5-10 year period.

For instance, I can imagine them holding all specs constant except that they ship a new wifi radio every 2-3 years.

This would allow other open source projects to target it and be rock solid. For instance, my pc engines openbsd router is something like 8 years old and has never crashed.

I’d happily pay a $50-100 premium to get a brand new board that’s fast enough, but that had all the bugs worked out the last few years.
This is wrong:

DKIM would be used only if SPF does not "pass", if there. DNS SPF is inappropriate for those email provider implementing DNS trickery which cannot work with DNS SPF. For DNS SPF to "pass", not only the SMTP prolog and transactions must be evaluated, but also some header fields (from:,reply-to:).

For instance, if you are self-hosted and your SPF DNS entry does match the domain in the SMTP prolog/transactions and the header fields, your spam score will be significantly lower.

With no-DNS email servers, you don't have the SPF DNS indirection and can directly check the IPs ( bob@[x.x.x.x] alice@[ipv6:... )] for spam scoring.

That said, the real worst are those sys admins blocking instead of enabling grey listing.
I think a lot of the problem with the UK is that the housing market eats the wind out of everything else's sails too. This has both the economic effect of reducing the amount people have to spend on non-housing things and also it creates the psychological malaise of 'why should I work harder just so I can pay off some random baby boomer's mortgage instead of my own?'.

If we can fix housing we can fix a lot of what's wrong the UK I think.
Neat, although it's buggy in Fahrenheit. It opens for me in Fahrenheit, maybe based on my browser's locale or geoip. The page opens with initial temperature 4; selecting fridge changes it to 4; selecting room temp changes it to 21. Those numbers make much more sense in Celsius! And indeed if I change the scale to Celsius, it uses those same numbers, now representing very different temperatures.

This makes a significant difference: with a US L egg at sea level, soft boil time is 8 minutes 27 seconds from the fridge in Fahrenheit, 6 minutes 58 seconds in Celsius. In my experience, the right answer is 6 minutes even, though opinions about runniness vary...

(Sending a note about this to feedback@omnicalculator.com)

edit: also, it says US L egg = 60 g? That's not right, unless maybe they're counting the shell, which they shouldn't. 50 g is about right and what cronometer.com says. cronometer also says 56 g = extra large, 63 g = jumbo.

I don't think anybody really has an issue with a stable coin that people use to send money back and forth or keep some savings, but most of crypto isn't that. It's full of disgusting pyramid schemes that completely overshadow the few legitimate uses.

And replacing unstable fiat money with even less stable, totally speculatory crypto like Bitcoin? Seems like it's better just to buy some USD and stash it somewhere. Hell, even buying and reselling Steam keys is probably less volatile.

I've been using OpenWRT forever (WRT54G era) and only buy devices that can run OpenWRT. GL.iNet is my go-to out-of-the-box OpenWRT recommendation for others looking for a router. Their UI is a lot easier to use than LuCI for most things. I had a RPi-based Wireguard VPN setup to a family member's house, but I switched it out with a GL.iNet because their UI for managing Wireguard devices is so much easier. Especially since I can access it using their Goodcloud management portal from anywhere.

I hope OpenWRT pulls off having their own device. That would definitely be an upgrade from GL.iNet. But compared to getting a completely non-open firmware like every other GL.iNet competitor, even their versions of OpenWRT are a major step up.

There are a few of their devices that have upstream support in OpenWRT. But it is like buying any other device for running stock OpenWRT in that regard - you have to do your homework to make sure you get something compatible.

I still have OpenWRT running on a RPi4 'router' and 3 TP-Link routers as APs on my network. But still wish I could get GL.iNet's Wireguard management in Luci...
He's using the word as meaning "insert", not the JS function. He is saying he inserted a new row into a database to get admin access to a dashboard.

'splice" means to join two things as if by weaving them together. If used as "splice into" or "splice in" there is a sense of breaking something apart, inserting something into the gap, and joining it back together.

This all makes a bit more sense if you look up the etymology which was about ropes (despite splicing being about uniting, it's closely related to the word 'split').

Made me chuckle. Objective-C was my _first_ language. When I say first, I mean it was the first one I put any effort into learning when I was in 7th grade or so. It was chaos and the only way I managed to get any apps out the door was basically pattern-matching what people did in stack overflow.

I wouldn't wish Obj-C as a first language on any soul. Swift on the other hand? Jokes aside, that's a beautiful language.

I don't know about other social media, but IG combines a culture of posting visual content with heavy use of face/body filters. If you're already feeling self-conscious about your body, this is a recipe for body image issues and self-hate.

You mention work several times. Work does not make people less depressed unless it is a) gainful or b) meaningful.

I think a lot of it is a result of people conflating productivity with worth, and worth with satisfaction.

You can be broke and completely satisfied with life, yourself, your situation. Likewise you can have great finances and still be anxious and restless and discontent. I believe comes down to expectations. Managing expectations is critical and not many people do it enough, if at all.
No. First of all, you can get credit back for parts you sell off the car. In our case, the car (a full running car) was $400 if I remember correctly, and the team captain was able to sell substantial parts of the interior to make money back.

Most importantly, safety equipment is not part of the budget, so you can spend as much as you want on seat, racing harnesses, roll cage, fire suppression system, tires, brakes, and so on. Plus driver gear (suits, helmets, HANS restraint devices, cool suits, etc. Some teams even run racing fuel cells as that counts as safety equipment as well.

So really, the $500 budget is to acquire the car (minus stuff you sell from it), plus whatever you spend on mechanical (reliability, go-fast bits, repairs, etc).

Also, the penalty for going over is generally that you have penalty laps applied to your car, which is not that big a deal, because very few teams will ever win or even compete for a win, and the prizes aren't that large anyway (and often get donated to a charity).

Our car happens to conform to the budget and is very well-documented, but many are sketchier, and it doesn't make the racing less fun.

You're painting an unfairly one-sided picture here, as so many pro-psychedelic people do. These are highly potent chemicals that also have negative physical and psychological effects. It's not as simple as "these substances cure a condition and the fear of psychedelics keep them repressed". You are saying the equivalent of the college stoner friend saying "you can't get addicted!" about weed. Even this article points to fatal heartbeat irregularities as a dangerous side effect that has limited ibogaine's study.
I am noticing an obvious exception to this among religious communities because those have an orientation around, well, community. These have built in in-person services, lifecycle events, studying, etc.

It’s interesting how in previous decades all of this stuff could seem superfluous since secular people were likewise getting together in the physical space. But today it seems almost like an inoculation against a dire social illness.
Eventually I suspect someone will abuse this for the free (and encrypted) storage, and then they'll have to fight that battle, which won't be fun, and likely end up charging. Probably should start charging for storage sooner rather than later, and just allow self hosting free.

Can second on the washer and dryer. I've had mine for 3 years and it's been great. Only maintenance I've had to do is cleaning the filter on the washer. I have 3 dogs, so I was somewhat impressed it took 3 years to clog up that filter.

The smart crap even works reasonably well if you're into it. I used to work a 2 minute drive from home and would use the "wash/dryer done" push notifications to run home and swap loads over. Not crazy useful, but it worked and had a niche.
