All the opinions presented here are indeed the opinion of my employer
"They are implacable in wanting to put down all who do not agree with them."
"What role does Islam itself play in fueling Islamic extremism? Muslims want to assimilate us. It is one-way traffic…They have no confidence in allowing choice.12 Samuel Huntington sent me a piece he was writing in Foreign Affairs called the “Clash of Civilizations.” When I saw him, I said, look, I agree with you only where the Muslims are concerned, only there…Hinduism, Chinese Confucianism or Communism, Japanese Shintoism, they are secular really. They know that to progress, you must master science and technology…But the Muslims believe that if they master the Qu’ran and they are prepared to do all that Muhammad has prescribed, they will succeed. So, we can expect trouble from them and so, it happened.13 Muslims socially do not cause any trouble, but they are distinct and separate Islam is exclusive."
democracy failed America
China and Singapore showed democracy is not necessarily the most productive way to run a country
but in this case it is detrimental because the screen is fixed, the natural behavior would be not to move it
or at least do very little with it like a parallax
the current demo would cause nausea after a moment
I have a really hard time believing something decentralized will surpass the the physical limitations of speed of light and low level assembler from C++ optimizations without any GC
also the fact that hyperliquid sequencing of orders is opaque and not opensource, and there is indeed latency in the consensus, I cannot believe yet there are p99 stability in completed transactions
the reason is, japanese is read from right to left.
once you invert it you can appreciate it better
system76 is great
that's exactly what it does. free. no ads.
yeah, google it. nobody in there, you won't enter, well you're not a maverick in curve of adoption. that's fine.
hand over your credentials? what's credentials? a Google oauth login?
uh?
are you a capable engineer or do you believe in magic?
the savings of a cheap engineer disappear on the cloud bill. get a badass well paid engineer who can do both and doesn't talk his way out of this financial madness
WIP (need more work in multi-hanzi words), but won't stay in the same 5 words for more than a day. it has been working well for me
the most interesting thing was GPT helped with the sentences and simplified words meaning and bing translate provided the audios
the goal is get the ~2000 words you need to be proficient in 1 year, 5 words a day plus refresh old words, also it keep track of your progress against the year, no streaks
nice stuff, multi master replication.
user API, super small.
doubts about how to do streaming backup.
after studying the API and doing some spike architectures I come to the conclusion (I may be wrong):
tiger beetle is awesome to keep the account balance. that's it.
because you pretty much get the transactions affecting and account and IIRC there was not a lot you can do about how to query them or use them.
also I was thinking it would be nice to have something like an account grouping other accounts to answer something like: how much money out user accounts have in this microsecond?
I think that was more or less about itm they have some special fields u128 to store ids to the transaction they represent into your actual system
and IIRC handle multi currency in different books
my conclusion was: I think I don't get it yet. I think I'm missing something. had to write a ruby client for it and build an UI to play with the API and do some transactions and see how it behaved. yet that was my conclusion
would be great to have an official UI client
some simply wanna be Pablo Escobar and become a reggaeton poster child. they don't do it for other reason than become their mental image of a gangster.
yes, they are intelligent but they insist and insist into do what they consider cool, and that coolness come to be a "hacker" or a criminal
so far from top of my mind I remember a serial corporate scammer, a social media middle man who constantly sell access to people working in meta (unlocking/locking accounts), a drug precursor middlewoman, a money laundering mule/scammer/errand boy. every time it was the same. they wanted to show a gangster luxury life in ig. the middlewoman was something else, never got to understand her. 60 years. probably she was just for the thrill of it.
had they opportunities to do something else? repeatedly. specially after prison or with family help. but they refuse, the next business will be the one. they will become millionaires for sure. jail again.
