Eradication doesn't need to happen though death, though these actions of course also raise the suicide rate. Displacement, cultural eradication, making it impossible to exist in public, stochastic terrorism though constant demonization - these are all already here.

If you all feel more comfortable with those words, feel free to replace genocide with all of the above. Does not help with my anxiety being rooted more in indifference to the actions than the actions themselves.

Monero was the only coin that made sense to me back in the 2017 crypto craze. A real anonymous and government free currency. To this day I am salty that Bitcoin won, such a shitty coin, now firmly embraced by governments, full of regulation. Slow, high fees, not really accepted by merchants. Just a "gold" made out of thin air.
I agree with most of what you say, but I stand by my main point which is that you need to understand what is terribly wrong with the current money we use, before you can start to understand the enormous significance of bitcoin.

You're correct, money is potential energy. A higher abstraction of energy than the physical energy we're used to, but potential energy nonetheless. Proof-of-work means that everyone must put in work of equal value to create bitcoin - the energy they put in to obtain it is stored within it - and this applies to everyone, whereas fiat allows bankers and people close to them to put in almost no work to obtain vast amounts of energy, simply because they have tricked the world into giving them a monopoly on creating it - fractional reserve is fundamentally a trick, a fraud. The more they can lend out (creating wars generates great demand for debt I hear), the faster the flow of free money into their bulging, overflowing pockets. I wonder how much they really have after centuries of this trickery? I heard someone posit that they have 93% of all the money while the rest of the world is fighting over the last 7%. That doesn't sound unrealistic to me.

Regarding bitcoin, I agree that the method of issuance (proof of work, like gold) is more important than the rate of issuance. But the rate of issuance is still extremely important - if bitcoin didn't have a capped supply, then it would be superseded by another form of itself that did, that would be a superior store of value (bitcoin's key use case currently). It's this that provides an enormous incentive for people to risk their wealth and adopt it in its current early stage and will ultimately go on to fuel it's amazing victory over the monstrously powerful and corrupt fiat system.

A creation that can do this would surely be one of the most important in the history of mankind.
I was exploring Angelfire a few years ago to see who still used it and was surprised by the number of Navajo/Dine.

Does this imply that the conference was held at this hotel purely to get access to his devices?

Indeed, generally delegation has become to mean that there is a dedicated server thread that executes critical sections. Where as combining indicates that any thread can become a combiner while acquiring a lock, for a certain period of time. For the project, we used queue-based combining, which seems to be similar to the the lock in the paper.

Interesting website but could you explain why this legislation, most of which was rejected, indicates intent to commit genocide?

I honestly do not see how, to take one example, athletes only being allowed to compete against others of the same sex is a step on the path to genocide.

This suggestion of genocide does sound very exaggerated, and I believe your anxiety on this is misplaced.
I think erlang

It's not, though. The passkey itself is strictly a single factor. That's kinda the point, to reduce user toil.

Your passkey could have 2FA locally (e.g., a Yubikey with a PIN), but that is up to your discretion. It may be single factor.
That's really cool. I only wish open source projects were this integrated. (Imagine if making a PR would estimate your AWS cost increase after running canary Kubernetes.)

Also what's really cool to see is that Facebook's internal UI actually looks decent. Never work in a company of anywhere close to that size and the tooling always look like it was puked by a dog.
Erlang / BEAM would seem to fit, but I haven't seen much disdain for it from HN posters; quite the opposite, actually.
I prefer Pug with Vue3. Your example would be:

| {{ text }}
```

Personally I find this really readable. The HTML element is the most visible thing, then we get classes, then all the logic in parentheses. Then, standing by itself, the content. And we don't need any closing tag.
So I've just got a pretty major astigmatism in one eye, very minor in the other, without any other distortions. I went thirty years without corrective lenses and I think this kind of caused and reinforced my lazy eye.

With simple prescription lenses for the astigmatism my eyes are much better at looking at the same place, but at the end a long day I have a ton of trouble getting them to agree on where to look and often end up just closing my right eye.
If you do e2ee correctly this is a non-issue. See 1Password for one way to do to it right.
Erlang/Elixir is also a possibility.

But I don't think either Java or Erlang were based on a PhD project?

> our economic system actively punishes people who do choose to have kids

This is likely true in USA, but false in many other countries.

There are many countries, e.g. in Europe, where people with many children have disproportionate advantages, because the state takes money from the people with few or no children and gives the money to the people with many children.

Moreover, there are adequate protections for parents during pregnancy and during the following time after birth.

Nevertheless, these measures had very little effect on the birth rates, except inside some restricted segments of the populations, which had a tradition of depending on such subsidies. It may be argued that for a majority of the populations these financial measures actually diminish the birth rates, because they take money mostly from the young people not having children yet, which reduces their revenues, which makes them even more reluctant to attempt to have children, due to the fear that they will not have adequate revenues to support them.

Few modern people, when confronted with the fact that their revenue would be insufficient for raising 2 children, would reach the conclusion that the solution to this problem is making 6 children, in order to get enough state aid. Most will choose to make only one child or no children.
100 years after their inception isn’t very far from now. There are plenty of people here who will be alive in the 2080s.

Everybody has a different idea of what long term means, but I think of it as millennia from now. The kind of time frame that the Long Now Foundation talks about.
Critique. The idea is that the evaluation in the article may not have been representative, but this quote is self-contained enough to be representative of its own stance.

The value of a currency is the value of an issuing government to tax it's citizens demanding payment in that currency.

If cryptocurrency is the answer, then the government should start a new 'coin', and start from there. There is no reason why wealth should be transferred by fiat to holders who were either speculators or engaging in criminal activity (as their are limited other values for cryptocurrency at the moment).

Certainly didn't mean to suggest they are, especially not without professional medical advice. (Not just to check the dose or have a different one prescribed, but for a PPI to protect stomach lining from taking a lot of ibuprofen for example.) The non-prescription doses on the packaging are suitable short-term, for a one-off headache or to manage a fever, but continued use (a bad injury meaning your taking it several days even) should be with advice, that might differ.
Just to be clear, standard SQL databases are not great for large-scale analytics. I know from first hand experience and a lot of pain.

We tried using Postgres with large analytics at my previous company https://threekit.com but it is an absolute pain. Basically we started to collected detailed analytics and thus had a rapidly growing table of around 2B records of user events during their sessions. As it grew past a 500 million records it turned out to be impossible to query this table in any thing close to real-time - it was basically untouchable because it was so slow.

I know I could have used some type of daily aggregation combined with a weekly aggregation, etc to roll up the data incrementally. A dev tried this and yeah, it hide the slow queries but then it became inflexible in terms of reporting. And writing and maintaining these cronjobs is a lot of work.

But then I tried using BigQuery on my https://web3dsurvey.com side project and I just recorded raw data and then wrote queries to do real-time aggregation (with a caching layer) in a large variety of ways. And it was near instant and easy and also very cheap.

So then I deployed this strategy over at Threekit.com and it also was easy and fast and cheap. Even more flexible queries than Web3DSurvey at basically no developer cost or infrastructure costs. No more need for aggregating cron-jobs or trying to decide ahead of time how users want to slice and dice the data. Real time, flexible queries on the fly via BigQuery is the way.

Also BigQuery bill for https://web3dsurvey.com is like $0.25 month and it is dealing with millions of records in its 3 month window of stored data. Where as just running the cheapest Postgres SQL server on Google Cloud is like >$25/month and it is a slow one.

I would never go back to traditional SQL for analytics - it was hard, slow, expensive and inflexible. Worst of all worlds.
I think it's acceptable if they have good reason to believe the gene editing isn't going to lead to a trait that harms the animal. I think fluffier fur isn't a big deal. And I say this as a vegetarian and a huge supporter of animal rights.

Inducing Parkinsonian symptoms or removing limbs is very different from some cosmetic changes. Maybe they also need to be kept in cooler environments or something, but assuming they accommodate that, this doesn't seem cruel to me.

That sounds like an astigmatism to me, which basically just means your lens is a little misshapen. I have a pretty bad astigmatism in one eye and have double vision in that eye without glasses, especially so from lit things like screens.

Go to an eye doctor, they can diagnose. It's likely just something as simple as an astigmatism and some glasses should help you with that.

> I don't think it's wrong to blame people who make life more difficult for others for their own aggrandizement

It is, and this is highly judgmental and offensive. Nobody is doing this for "aggrandizement".

Also, all of this is just rationalization, and will keep being until:

1) People start blaming companies for not having the spine to say no to misguided projects by employees.

2) People start blaming Companies for not having the spine to hire people based on past experiences with the craft of programming itself, but rather asking them to have a certain box ticked in their CV.

If one wants to program in X in order to better feed their family and the market says they need to have used X professionally, it is in their right to do X at the workplace.

This is not only expected of them, this is how the whole industry is set up.

They're just following the rules, period.
In that dilemma we are definitely god, you merely debate the competency.

Some folks thought to develop some semi-lethal virus in a lab in Wuhan because "we can/why not" and we know what happened next. Many of us have watched every Resident Evil movie or the 12 Monkeys.

Steve Gibson keeps saying "what could possibly go wrong". Our (commoners'/plebes') fates have historically been determined by warmongers, "hawks", ruthless immoral people who play chess with real humans.

I am not surprised that something will definitely happen. I will be surprised on the "when". I am semi-prepared for the morons to eliminate 90% of the world's population some way or another. I just hope that if/when that happens either "I go out" it will be quick and painless, or I will have the chance to 'activate my plan' and perhaps live a simple life in a forest away from the destruction.

I very much agree with the overall thesis of the post. Runes are just irksome in subtle ways.

One big point that the post misses, is that the Class escape hatch for runes is incompatible with constructor-set parameters.

Say you have a class that wraps a HTMLElement which you set in the constructor. This doesn't work:

class Wrapper {
dom: HTMLElement = $state()
constructor(el: HTMLElement) {
this.dom = el
}
}

as TypeScript throws an error about `Type 'undefined' is not assignable to type 'HTMLElement' for the $state()`. You could fix it by eg. `$state(undefined as unknown as HTMLElement)` but that's dumb. Interesting enough you could do something like:

class Wrapper {
dom: HTMLElement
constructor(el: HTMLElement) {
let d = $state(el)
this.dom = d
}
}

Moreover, Vite/esbuild mangles class-field parameters with esnext into constructor-set parameters as they are just more versatile. So the original code becomes something like:

class Wrapper {
constructor(el: HTMLElement) {
this.dom = $state(el)
}
}

Which is incompatible with rules of runes. I did whine about this already https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/14600 but so far no clear answer
> SolidJS seems designed right so that it doesn't need so many major revisions and it feels quite stable.

I actually really love it. Typically AV products UIs feel snappy and lightweight and it is the backend engine that does most of the work and feels horrendously as a bottleneck. Which I think is an interesting phenomena when considering modern desktop applications where typically the backend code does very little and the frontend one is the one being bloated (Electron).

It's a bit sad that there is not a lot of talk and re-usable components from these companies for Sciter that can help us create snappy apps!
Been using as my sole web browser on a daily basis since it was called Qupzilla, maybe for 10+ years as I switched to it from reKonq.

I really like it because it's fully and truly integrated with KDE, not needed a whole sort of patchs to integrate to it like Firefox needs to.

It's actually great. Not sure about the "Qt doesn't upgrade WebEngine often enough" in other comment (what is "ofteh enough"? I got several updates for it over the year) and of course it can be lagging from stuff from mainstream, but I think for 99% of users it's just fine.

Granted, you can't use Chrome/Firefox plugins, which may it seem not worthy to some people, but there's a basic adblock and greasemonkey extensions shipped with it with default which blocks most of stuff and even you can install a script to speed up youtube ads so that annoying ad will run out in a sec or less. Apparently you can write your own plugins for it but last time I wrote to one of its devs the api wasn't even documented.

There are some quirks on it, though, like the user agent thing - I set up as the latest chrome user agent for every website except accounts.google.com where I left it as the one shipped with Falkon so it lets me sign in, and yet it shows a warning about "upgrading" to another browser.

Ironically, such "warning" also shows up when browsing discuss.kde.org. Yes, the very KDE discussion board warns you against using KDE's own web browser.

Since some years ago I have a silly idea about a plugin that transforms tabs into some sort of Vim buffer list thing that can be filtered by the url bar, but am too incompetent about C++.
I can't speak for others, but for me it's not a matter of dividing people in the way you describe. It's more about deciding who my audience is. If I talk to someone about my latest programming project, the conversation is completely different if it's someone who has never done programming before, versus someone who also does programming, versus someone who uses the same technologies as I do.

A website that requires the user to write HTML code targets an audience that knows HTML. That's really all there is to it. But knowledge of HTML correlates extremely strongly with knowledge of CSS and JavaScript and a couple other internet basics, so it's not labeled “people who know HTML”, it's labeled “tech people”.
