IIRC, there's also a very high correlation between schizophrenia and early substance abuse/overuse in general (such as high alcohol/caffeine use). Are these substances causal too?

Cool app. I like the idea of generalizing around a common interface.

Thanks Pedro. Looks like it might just need some explicit type conversions.

Thanks for getting that domain :)

You're welcome! So glad to hear you enjoyed these projects.

"wait, are YOU still active?" -> The last several years, I've been working on no/low code client side JS frameworks, but it's not quite ready for a compelling demo yet...

Me too.

If you post this as a issue on github, I'll see if we can fix it.

I was also on that contract and can verify this. Here’s an odd wrinkle: just prior to that contract, Patrick wanted to purchase bitcoin from me (this was back in 2013) remotely, with me sending him the bitcoin first and him paying when he had time. He also wanted the terms to be that if the USD price of bitcoin went down before he paid me, that he would pay the lower price(!) and he would choose the time of repayment. I declined to do anything other than an in-person cash transaction. Later, I heard he had previously purchased some from another friend and then ghosted him for many (>6?) months despite persistent requests for payment.

What if there was a free open source version of Smalltalk (with an option for using script source files instead of a GUI) for Unix in the early 80s? Could it have become the defacto Unix scripting language instead of Perl?. Might Netscape have put it in the browser? Would there have been a raison d'être for Python or Ruby (as more OO options to Perl)?

“Hey Siri, close the living room shades” works for me. The problem I have is that we have both sun shades and black out blinds and Siri treats the words “shades” and “blinds” as the same word, forcing me to create special group labels for each so it can distinguish them.

That said, it does feel like magic to be able to easily control all the lights and blinds with voice commands and Siri usually gets it right.

Are there any libraries to do emulate this vector style in Javascript/HTML?

Exactly this.

When I talked with Patrick Collison about Bitcoin in late 2013 (prior to Stellar's release), he kept asking (paraphrased) "Why use Bitcoin instead of making your own cryptocurrency so you could own the whole thing?"

Futures which pause the calling thread can be used to solve some of the synchronization issues mentioned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futures_and_promises

Here's an example of this in Objective-C: https://github.com/stevedekorte/ActorKit

Is there support for lightning? If so, I’ll donate.

To me, this looks like the most interesting (published) work being done in development tools atm.

Bitcoin fixes this.

From what I've seen, most DIY folks spend far more (and are therefore poorer) all things considered, such as time and expense of storage space for tools and what that capital could be doing otherwise over time.

This is a great resource. I've had to dig through a lot of StackOverflow threads to figure these out. Great to have lots of current answers in one place.

It's easy to confuse correlations with causes, so it's important to keep in mind that while real growth (of wealth) is correlated with money changing hands that money changing hands is not the cause of real growth. Real growth is caused by making good investments of resources. For example, the governments of Zimbabwe and Venezuela could print and spend as much money as they liked which can make things like GDP metrics high in nominal terms of the currency being printed, but the net effect is a downward spiral of bad investments.

I've had my MacBook Pro 16" for several months and haven't noticed any fan noise at all.

It's great to see tutorials like this. FWIW, here's a tiny incremental (baker treadmill) collector[0] library I wrote. It was used in the implementation of the Io programming language.

And the arrow controls next to each other so you didn't have to move the mouse to the other side to adjust the bar slightly in the other direction.

I've had good experiences with them as well.

It's fine to have some default servers for discovery bootstrapping (as Bitcoin does) but any subset of Bitcoin nodes can go down without the network failing. Is this true of Blockstack? If every Blockstack controlled or financed server went down, would the network continue to work?

AFAICS, neither Blockstack or dpage.io are "decentralized". Note the login page. Ask what happens if dpage.io site goes down. This is just a website. The fact that this site uses Blockstack's centralized servers doesn't make it "decentalized" any more than using AWS would.

100% reserves on deposits doesn't prevent anyone from making loans. It only prevents them from doing so with demand deposits. For example, they are free to sell bonds - they just can't force depositors to buy bonds unless they choose to.
