By this broken logic, "Movies are fungible". Because you can turn money into a John Carter, and you can turn Dune: Part 2 into Money. You can borrow against Star Wars, and you can license out Barbie.

But everyone knows, movies are not fungible, because they are not interchangeable. I can buy oil, or unleaded gasoline, and it's basically the same everywhere, it is "replaceable by another nearly-identical item, mutually interchangeable" -- oil and gasoline are fungible. But "Movies" are not fungible, because "Lord of the Rings" is not a replacement for "50 First Dates", which is not a replacement for "The Matrix", even though they're all movies.

Housing is not like Oil, housing is like Movies. It's not fungible, because a 2bedroom row-home in Foster City, CA is not "nearly-identical/mutually interchangeable" with a 4bed,2bath home in suburban Louisville, nor a 1bedroom condo in the Chicago Loop.

Even when the housing is all in the same zip code, much of it is still not fungible with it's alternatives, because housing is so regularly different and unique in a myriad of different ways. ("this one is on a hill, that one is in a valley, it has a higher risk of flooding. This one is in School District A, this house across the street is School District B, this house is in a city with income taxes, this house on the next block over is in a township with no income taxes, that house will need a new roof sooner, this house is in a HOA neighborhood, that house is near the bus line, this house is close to the freeway onramps, that house has fiber but this one is only Comcast Coax, etc")

That seems mistaken to me. The best case in most crypto, from an attacker's perspective, is "I tried one key and just happened to get it right". Aren't we more interested in expected outcomes?
Is this a automated bot response? The main critique of the parent comment isn't that Proton engaging in many project, because of investors/ad revenue, but the act of doing so.

I'm a active Protonmail subscriber too, who downgraded to the mail business plan, because I too want Proton to focus on their core business and not engage in becoming a clone of Microsoft 365.

There used to be a regular vote on what users are mainly interested in. Maybe I missed it, but I too think that the risk of engaging in too many ventures will be the ultimate downfall. One last argument is, that hosting files and text and whatever is planned in the future weakens the legal ground to protect user privacy, as the (legal and technical) attack surface of hosting services is greater than just end-to-end encrypted email.

Qualcom and Apple is pushing forward so probably not a big issue. I'd rather say we're in a very interesting situation for CPUs right now (compared with 5-10 years ago).

GPUs on the other hand seems much more dominated by Nvidia. It seems though there are some competitors (AMD aside) lurking in the background though (again, Qualcomm and Apple).

Interesting that the new contenders seem to have a very typical disruptive innovation approach - moving up from the lower end up to more higher end products (with one specific edge; power efficiency). Even more interesting, this concept (coined/popularized by Clayton Christensen) stems from research in the hard drive industry! Full circle!

God, YES! We've been working in this problem in one way or another for at least 10 years, and we also failed many times in solving that conciliation. We _think_ we have reached a good tradeoff now: _everything is on git_. So when you're using our web editor, you are basically using a "remote computer" (actually a Cloudflare Durable) to edit your files, just as if you cloned it on your local machine. When you're happy with changes, you "publish" it - which generates a commit for you. This way we can have developers and content creators happy, both sharing the same history.

I see a lot of consternation about credits and debits and the nomenclature.

Something that makes this simpler to think about from a modern perspective is that accounting is older than the popular use of negative numbers. By a lot. If we were to invent accounting today, we'd probably use positive and negative accounts instead of debit and credit accounts.

Algebra over addition is second nature to us at this point, but it would not have been obvious to the average merchant in 1604, and even then, negative numbers were viewed quite poorly.

What is important is that there are always two sides to a transaction and that they are inverses of each other. This is all a credit and debit are. Inverse operations on a number.

Therefore, we can make a rule that a transaction balances when credit = debit. (aka we didn't invent money as debit + credit = 0, but remember that we didn't like negative numbers when this system was invented, so this last fact is more of a happy coincidence that happens to ALWAYS WORK, for some reason, rather than the goal).

What is then reasonable is to consider literal cash on hand to be the most positive (debit) kind of account there can be, and work backwards from there. If I want to handle an expense, then I need to invert the cash account somehow (credit it) and therefore have the opposite kind of entry for where the money went (debit it). So an expense account must have a generally debit (or positive) balance.

But where did the cash come from? Well that comes from income and I want the cash to be debit-ey so the place it came from must be credit-ey otherwise I risk writing a transaction that doesn't balance (equal zero). So then income accounts must generally be credit accounts rather than debit account (aka they hold a typically negative balance or are "credit normal").

What is really killer about this system, is it just so happens that every mundane transaction you could ever write will end up as balanced transactions and each of these possible transaction accounts end up having the same usual balance of credit or debit (negative or positive). I think that is just so elegant.

You're maybe thinking of Meldonium, which is banned. The drug was developed in the 1970s and is a very common OTC sale in eastern Europe. It was banned in 2016 when WADA decided it was possible it could be able to act as a performance enhancer. Maria Sharapova, a tennis champion, made the news later that year when she tested positive, and received a two year ban which was later shortened when the court determined she had originally started taking it years ago in good faith on a doctor's recommendation. About two hundred other athletes from eastern Europe across different sports received positive tests shortly after the ban as well, a lot of which were reversed when it turned out they were detecting use from 2015 (it takes months after use for it to stop showing on tests).
> Perhaps from a C++ perspective, say a monolith with kilobytes of bindings driving a canvas.

I get the desire for something more "elegant/clean" in this space, but JS is just very hard to beat on the bindings/glue side. I believe that's why approaches like WebIDL bindings did not turn out to be more efficient. I measured that on both code size and speed in Emscripten, for example, back in the day, and JS was good enough.

With WasmGC it is today possible to ship very small binaries, and the size of the bindings alongside them is generally not an issue, from what I hear from WasmGC-using toolchains like Java, Kotlin, and Dart. In fact they benefit a lot from the flexibility of those bindings, e.g. by being able to pull in random JS things (like strings support, RegExp, etc.).

If you like coding and tech, just look for a different job, at a smaller company, with less legacy code, less code, less red tape, less middle managers, and overall less bullshit.

Smaller companies are not always golden, and come with their own unique challenges, but large corporations seem to almost guarantee a certain type of soul destroying pain in tech unless you are in a well insulated position, or for some unusual cases like when it's actually just a collection of separate small teams and projects under one umbrella.
Big armchair energy on this one. In practice in a high stakes high adrenaline competition neither party is very able to keep track of their opponent's (or sometimes even their own!) physical & mental state with this degree of finesse.

Combat sports are an ancient discipline existing across distinct and varied human cultures and every mature form acknowledges this constraint by having a third party to referee the match.

I really don't see much of a value outside the browser, other than an avenue for startups to resell yet another bytecode based platform, as if we haven't had enough since UNCOL (1958).

The ongoing attempts to bring back application servers, but with Kubernetes, WASM and plenty of YAML, is a kind of tragic irony.

And on the browser, if one needs performance it is better served with GPU code than WebAssembly, other than bringing existing libraries into the browser.

At least we got the revenge of plugins, Flash, ActiveX and Java applets, running back on the browser thanks to WebAssembly based implementations.

I don't think so, by default I think the nixos process will simply stop (probably by sending SIGINT) the service and then start it again.

But if you could have the server into 'lame duck mode' (no new connections accepted, but existing ones can finish) / gracefull shutdown and that's a blocking call (or you could poll if it's still up etc), then you could script that before the 'nixos-rebuild switch' call. Maybe sending SIGINT to the service does that already?

I ask because rural health is effectively its own subspecialty in family medicine. There doesn't seem to be a locality equivalent for other geographic subgroups. This implies, to me, an extra level of focus on the needs of a population.
For sure. I think a lot of this is just about how heavy the planning cycles are. A lot of stuff like that is developed through big, waterfall planning efforts and large outsourcing contracts. Most of the choices were made before they had their first user, and once it's all installed any revision would be a) expensive, and b) a black eye for the people in charge.

And in some ways I don't blame people for doing this, because you need really supportive stakeholders to work in an iterative fashion. Otherwise you get a ton of nitpicking that amounts to a lot of "why didn't you guess 100 perfectly everything up front" and "how can we start if you can't give me a full plan and a firm price?" In a blame-hungry environment, waterfall is the safest choice for the people doing the project.

It's up to the referee. UFC fighters get half their money as a win bonus, and the lower ranked fighters on the card can be earning 6k show, 6k win, fighting 3 or 4 times a year. With the costs of training, sports nutrition etc etc, that win bonus can be the difference between feeding their family or not, and many of them come from poor backgrounds so know what that feels like. A fighter isnt going to take that chance and stop when the referee hasnt stepped in, and give their opponent oppertunity to recover.

I like how you had to replace part of Haidt's statement with meaningless variables X and Y because it actually does a great job showing the absurdity of Odgers' suggested causes in the context all the data. Once again:

"I just can’t see a causal path by which America’s school shootings, lockdown drills, poverty, or racism caused girls in Australia to suddenly start self-harming or dying by suicide at the same time as so many American girls."

Do you really think Haidt is lazily missing a causal link here? Or is he maybe a thoughtful researcher who genuinely can't square this circle?
Yeah, I think a more intuitive way is to replace credit and debit with State and Change as the pair of things in double-entry. It means that you don't have to swap meanings based on context and can use negative numbers intuitively.

State Accounts track your net worth

Assets: what you own

Liabilities: what you owe

Change Accounts track why your net worth changes

Income: what you've earned

Expense: what you've spent

The accounting equation that follows is ∆ State = ∆ Change:

Assets - Liabilities = Income - Expense

Selling lemonade is +$5 Asset balanced by +$5 Income.
If you substitute into the equation, it's: $5 Asset = $5 Income

Taking out a loan is +$10 Asset balanced by +$10 Loan.
In the equation: $10 Asset - $10 Liability = $0.

In general, say you have a +Asset action, to balance the equation you can do it 4 ways:

+Asset -Asset aka swapped for equal value

+Asset +Liability aka took out a loan

+Asset +Income aka sold something

+Asset -Expense aka got a refund

I've left out Equity as a separate account type since you can just treat it mathematically as a Liability account.
