Got the shingrix vaccine for free at my county health center, even though it was not covered by my insurance. Worth checking.

The OOM killer strikes again.

> All of this is packaged up into a single zero-dependency C API (it doesn't even rely on libc), allowing it to be easily embedded into any popular language ecosystem.

@mitchellh That's super exciting. I'm wondering how easy it would be to integrate in the debugger frontend I'm working on. Do you already know what the C API will look like?

They didn't sign a transaction for 1 billion dollars. They all signed what they thought was a routine transfer, but in reality what they signed gave the hacker full control of the smart contract (the Gnosis Safe) in which the 1.4B $ of tokens were stored. The hackers, having gained control of the smart contract, proceeded to empty it of funds.

What you should do is sign the transaction on an offline computer (which is booted from a linux OS on a flash drive with only the essential software), simulate the transaction to verify it does what you expect, and then save the signed transaction to a flash drive. Then you can submit your transaction on a connected computer with confidence that you didn't sign your tokens away to someone else.

> for exponent 1, 10 and 11 you then have the same

Right. But the exponent is signed as well, so you have the same number of exponent values mapping to values between -1 and 1 (roughly exponent values from -127 to -1) as to all other values (between -inf and -1 and between 1 and inf), exponent values from 1 to 126.

Nothing really compare to a well made daguerreotype.

Elon Musk says idiotic stuff all the time and people revere him.

I'm surprised Intuit allowed this to happen. It almost look as if the govt is working for the people.

Unless they pretended being a man :-)

Makes me remember how fun it was to read Byte in the 1980s! https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1985-05/page/n219/...

Page and Brin's original crawler had the issue, but they were unable to fix it, and it was Jeff Dean and Sanjay Gupta that rewrote the crawler so that it and the index storage would be hardware fault tolerant.

There was a lot less googling for sure.

I remember reading this issue cover to cover. Good times. The August issues of Byte were always a treat!

Both are named after Ada Lovelace, mathematician and first computer programmer.

The writer obviously does not understand the benefit of curved sensors. They will make the lenses cheaper and smaller - they will not change the way photographs look.

That would be an amazing transformation from a dumpster.

Looking forward to the bright future where we rely on centralized exchanges and banks!

Most GPUs are used to mine ETH. It is by far the most profitable. Unless another POW coin becomes as valuable as ETH, demand for GPUs will drop precipitously.

Have you heard of DEFI (decentralized finance)?

Ethereum will solve both issues, removing miners and the energy use by moving to Proof of Stake at the end on this year, and increasing the transaction throughput by 100x factors with level 2 solutions.

I don't see any reason to be skeptical of proof-of-stake. The ethereum beacon network has been up and running fine for months. And POS negates the power usage objection to POW.

Thomas and Alito dissented - these two are always on the wrong side of history.

strtod is not a good benchmark. Is it faster than std::format or https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt?

This is causing outrage because it is US citizens who are killed without review, but I guess it is fine when the US is killing non-citizens, right?

So not only you have to write the same efficient code you could have written in C++, but on top of that you have to fight with Java features like GC to make sure they don't occur. Sounds like a winning strategy to me.

Must have been astonishingly slow in the first place.

Funny coincidence... I just ordered a copy of this book yesterday after reading https://josephg.com/blog/crdts-are-the-future/. I might not be the only one.
