Going back all the way to the '60s, if you listen to interviews with Paul McCartney of The Beatles he states very plainly that he knows no music theory, and can't read music. I suspect this is true of many great songwriters, maybe

This doesn't sound like communism to me. Rather it sounds like an attempt to proselytize capitalism. The stated purpose of the book is to "to create an elevated vision for capitalism in which everyone gets richer from capital&quot

> The original idea with crypto was that the "code" was so strong, it removed the need for physical banks, tellers, FDIC, law enforcement, etc. Is this really an accurate characterization of "the original idea"? And a

I suppose so, however Ethereum Classic is a fork of Ethereum that failed. I don't think it's generally well regarded in the space. I doubt many of the newer entrants to the ecosystem have even heard of it. This would be like findi

I see this quote repeated here often, but working in the industry I've never heard it said unironically by any of my peers or thought leaders in the space. Best I can tell it is a sort of lazy straw man repeated by skeptics. Does it ha

I enjoyed it, though for my taste it was maybe a little too simplistic and easy. The original rogue is before my time, but at one point I got very hooked on brogue ( https://sites.google.com/site/broguegame/ ) and t

The consensus seems to be that the gain is caused by the Bank of Japan raising rates on July 31, hinting at more raises. Yen has had historically low near-zero rates, so this raise strengthened their dollar. On top of that, many traders wer

My understanding is that he wrote the code for the smart contracts and open sourced it on GitHub. The contracts were compiled and deployed to the Ethereum network. There was no infrastructure/service controlled by him responsible for r

Not only network transaction fees but slippage, front-running, LP fees. I'm not saying that wash trading doesn't occur in DeFi, but Uniswap would be one of the more inefficient places to do it. So which is more likely? 1. Uniswap

What is HashiCorp's goal here? Don't they realize how bad of a look this is?

I only recently discovered this. Are there any practical advantages to high yield savings account, then? Or do they only exist for people who don't understand how to buy money market funds?

I've been really enjoying Monarch money. It's not free, but they offer an introductory discount for Mint users. I'm not a power user. I used Mint mostly for a window into the current state of my accounts, and to check recent

This is cool. I notice it does not seem to come with any presets, or am I missing them? I was curious what the settings were for the examples on the landing page.

OiNK changed my life. I discovered it in high-school and found so much good music that I never would have experienced otherwise. I still think about it at least a few times a year.

If you make games that millions of people play are you still considered a "wanna be game dev"?

Amit is a treasure. I referenced his articles many times when making my own games. We could really use more thoughtful and friendly visual learning resources like this for other subject matter.

I scanned the updates hoping for this exact same thing, but alas did not find it there. I am not comfortable disabling SIP to fix this issue personally.

Interesting. I've been considering toying around with something similar using i3 and Nix. I hadn't considered binding certain applications to various workspaces, but I like that idea as well. I'm curious if there are any part

I feel the same way. I would much prefer no animation at all, and an instant transition between spaces. Apparently this is possible with yabai ( https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai ), but it requires disabling system in

That is a good point. My understanding is that there are different types of producers, and some lean more technical, while others lean more consultative, and Rubin is falls in the latter camp. Contrast that to other more technical producers

Reddit is such a cesspool of low-quality commentary and rage-baiting. The front page/popular category is particularly egregious.

It's fascinating to observe the dramatic shift in perceptions around Flash on Hacker News over the past 5-10 years. As I recall, discussions mentioning Flash were once dominated by near-unanimous complaints about its flaws, and there w

Makes sense! Thanks for that context. I believe your approach is a sane default in many cases, and in some cases cheat prevention can even be a rabbit hole of premature optimization for smaller teams. Oftentimes in modern multiplayer games

Very cool project. Given that the networking approach is to synchronize the data model across the server/clients, are there any considerations made around cheating? For example, could one client manipulate the positions of objects arbi

As someone who has spent some time looking at some of the more popular alternatives for this type of information (i.e. the top results when googling), I find the simplicity of the UI here pretty refreshing. I think the name to be a little o

I think this quote is actually from "We Can Work It Out". Both great songs nonetheless.

Neat! One thing that has interested me about this game is whether or not there is an optimal first word. Is there is a word that contains the 5 letters which most commonly appear in the language? Preferably where more of the letters appear

I believe you may be confusing `set appendfsync always` which syncs on every write with `set appendfsync everysec` which syncs every second. The latter is more practical for typical redis use-cases and therefore I suspect much more common i
