No one will hand you your rights for free on a silver plate. Protesting and fighting back is the only way any progress is made in society.

The reason you haven’t heard a coherent answer to what problems web3 is supposed to solve is because there aren’t any. It’s just a continuation of the past 5-10 years of cryptocurrency pump and dump schemes (which also include ICOs and NFTs). Just a bunch of hot air. As you correctly put it, it’s just a bunch of opportunists making money off of tech-gullible people.

Cryptocurrency bros are hilarious. In one breath they’ll claim the government is evil and they’re building tech to circumvent government control, and in the next they’re threatening people to weaponize the government against them if they don’t fix their massive fuckup.

Because that’s just how Elon does marketing. He also said the Model 3 would have a dashboard that “looks like a spaceship” and instead delivered a slab. Nothing new. It just maybe wasn’t as blatant as now.

Most people don’t need a massive truck either.

Because it is. Getting hit by a pickup truck is much closer to being hit by a semi than by a compact car. Not only the shape is similar, but pickup trucks can be multiple times heavier than cars.

“Aaaaa look at me I am right you are wrong aaaa”

She mentions her vitals returned to normal after moving away, and presumably she took her furniture when she moved, so it seems unlikely it’s caused by that.

Hello, I'm the author of ProSudoku. This is a project I've been working on for a few months (mostly as a lockdown project to keep me busy).

This project has been a journey for me, and I've learned a lot about how sudoku puzzles are created, graded, and solved. I learned about the solving techniques that pros use to solve hard puzzles and I've incorporated them into a step-by-step solver that explains to the player why a move is legal.

I have also implemented my own handwriting recognition model using Apple's turicreate and the EMNIST dataset. The main reason I trained my own model is because I wanted to use the X character as a way to erase numbers, and also because I want to be able to add scratching over a number to clear it (I just need a dataset for that, which I'm working on).

The handwriting recognition also supports inserting pencil notes, and clearing them.

Overall I've had lots of fun working on this, and I hope you can give it a try and let me know what you think. I am already working on improvements, and so feedback will be extremely helpful in making it better.

Hmmm... It's almost like solving massive-scale real-life problems is harder than hacking some code together based off medium tutorials

The same thing happened to me. I was at university loving C but learning Java and hating every minute of it.

One day, with the help of another student, I managed to install Snow Leopard on my Acer notebook and the first thing I wanted to do was figure out how iPhone programming worked. However I was instantly confused at the syntax of the language and that threw me off.

I did try again two more times though, and in the last one it just clicked. That was mid-2012. I dropped out of university for a job opportunity in 2015 and have been an iPhone developer ever since.

Thank you, Brad Cox.

As soon as the article mentioned von Däniken in a serious light I stopped reading. von Däniken is a fraud and embezzlement convict and has admitted to fabricating lots of his fantastical stories and has no place in serious scientific research. I should have expected less from a lifestyle magazine, I guess.

Funny, ARM, AMD, and Apple seem to be having no issues. Maybe they should change the company name to Antel?

* Objective-C first appeared one year before C++

* Metal was launched two years before Vulkan

* Lightning was invented two years before USB-C

Competitors can't compete with them even with standard stuff. Good for them to move forward. It's funny how innovation becomes a "bad" thing when a company you don't like innovates "too much".

Yes it should if the networks he builds have an actual impact on real people because of their social/systemic/institutional status. If he doesn't want to do it, he shouldn't be working on networks that have this kind of impact.

What if you're a nuclear engineer that just wanna make the hot bit go hotter, and don't want to care about the nasty habit that radiation has of killing people?

I love the wording and the concept, thank you for the chuckle

Not everyone's codebase is an over-bloated mess

I bet this is not tax dodging, he just likes halloumi a lot!

Indeed. I had the same feeling. The article mentions that the regulation changes were already known.

This is just me speculating, but what if Jack realized the IPO would be a disaster (for that reason or others) and decided that this was the best strategy to halt it without recourse?

I see Intel is refocusing their business down on only producing CVEs now.

I hate the pressure people put on open-source developers of working for free, forever, on projects that they started. It is one of the main reasons I stopped making my side-projects open-source. All you get is a deluge of requests and complaints, some of them barely coherent, and almost zero people actually contributing back.

Maybe they don't care about it anymore. Or maybe they do but don't have the time/motivation to work on it. Some people have lives. Do you want to see changes to this project? Then fork it.

So we build single-page apps, where only the content that changes in the page is replaced, avoiding a full page reload, so navigating to another page feels instant.

HTTP caches and the absence of overcomplicated JS frameworks will do this better than any developer (simply because there's less to be done).

This article is basically a web dev admitting native apps are better but refusing to behave accordingly, choosing instead to make their own lives harder.

Edit: Also, makes this whole statement then publishes their article on medium...

Which won't happen anytime soon (despite what Elon says)

When the brightness of the star Betelgeuse dropped dramatically a few months ago, some observers suspected an impending supernova—a stellar explosion that could also cause damage on Earth.

Why do people keep fretting about Betelgeuse?? No, it's extremely unlikely it will harm earth when it goes nova: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1406.3143v2.pdf

"Engineering challenges" means they already know the practical solutions, they just need to figure out how manufacture and assemble them.

From personal experience moving from South America to Europe for a developer position: Not true.

A developer making even a small salary working remotely from a "third-world" country is still making much more money than the average person. Just as an example, on my first remote position I was making as much money as each of my parents who were on 10+ years careers in corporate sales. It's nuts.

Of course the quality of life outside work made it worth moving to Europe, but to this day I still wonder if I should move back to stay closer to family while keeping a great salary.

No, I believe what happened is that the "jetpack" was either hovering or flying at low speed, and the airplane flew by it. So the pilots could see it approaching and get a visual on the jetpack before it zipped by the side.

I don't think there's any question the pilots would describe it as "a guy in a jetpack" if they weren't sure that's what they were looking at. Spotting traffic around the plane is part of pilot training.

With that being said, if it zipped by the plane very quickly, there's the possibility it was maybe a very large RC plane shaped like a guy in a jetpack, which I think could be a bit more plausible.
