The main text is black yes, but anything that's bold is light grey as per the CSS, which is near unreadable (even if you're not as colourblind as me I suspect)

Found an error immediately "Any lowercase character" doesn't match all Swedish lowercase characters.

The funny thing about trunkver being "compatible" with semver is that it is not semantically compatible, only format compatible.

You could (but not necessarily should) combine them by making the trunkver the "patch" part of semver.

In our work, the semver is kept separate from the build version. We use a build versioning of vYYYY-MM-DD[.hhh] where hhh is for a "hotfix" of a previously released version.

The version of the "next" release can be set (either in advance, or based on a sprint or just the current date).

It would be semver compatible if they used 0.DATE.0 or 0.0.DATE instead.

from semver spec:

4) Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.

An anecdote doesn't disprove a general rule.
nickez · a year ago
Does the data support the "general rule" then? I think 65 year olds today are much more able than 65 year olds 50 years ago.

No, if that's all it was, the excess memory usage would be 2x.

But it's 200x.

Right?

nickez · 2 years ago
Please read the article. His produces 200x intermediary values. Clickbait title, since it wasn't a leak.

Because "chat" is pretty much meaningless as a term. The only common thread between chat apps is "bidirectional data transfer between at least two devices." SMS and Discord are both chat but have wildly different completely incompatible semantics, iMessage embeds full iOS apps and a payment network into the chat.

I can't see any world where chat gets standardized that doesn't involve throwing out everything except the most basic sms-style semantics which is basically what RCS is.

nickez · 2 years ago
You can have different standards for different use cases. So you mean that iMessage and rcs are so different that Android can't use iMessage or apple couldn't use rcs? We don't need to find one standard to rule them all. But we need to stop anti-competition behavior like allowing these protocols to be exclusive.

The reason gsm, 3g, 4g, sms and so on succeeded was because everyone could implement them. I guess you had to pay license or patent fees, but they are not walled gardens. Phones from different manufacturers and/or different operators can communicate. I'm surprised that "chat"-protocols are allowed to be monopolies by the regulators. The regulators probably don't understand tech.

What happens when the roundtrip time isn't consistent?
nickez · 3 years ago
The roundtrip time is never consistent. Light travels with different speed in fiber depending on the temperature. This is why you calibrate every second.

Not sure about the main story about the article. However, construction on that Ursvik/Rinkby construction site has been very slow since long before the current crisis. I was biking through the neighboring bridge of the one mentioned here (that is about 100m down the road, so much about that new bridge alone enabling crime) for about 8 month and while my way through changed a few times, progress was very slow. (Not that any of the many many construction projects in Stockholm has been fast). What the article misses is that the Swedish Krona has lost more than 10% compared to the Euro over the last year and that, while theoretically making exports more valuable, increase inflation for all import products. Which for me as an immigrant is the main economic flaw in this country: it should have adopted the Euro like Finnland or at least locked the exchange rate like Denmark. But no, false national pride has now made the entire economic down-turn even harder.

(One should also note that mortage rate here in Sweden are still surprisingly low. My 3 month fixed rate right now is 3.65% of which I get back 30% via taxes. Hence I am effectivly borrowing at 2.5%)

The SEK used to be locked. That lead to another kind of crisis in the nineties. You are right that we should've adopted the euro though.

What is the purpose of “stable” coins? If you want a thing that is worth a dollar, why not just use dollars?

Or use Belize dollars. They’re worth $0.50 by law and have no instability issues.

nickez · 3 years ago
Tax, if your country has capital gain tax you need to declare every single trade to real USD. When you are trading between crypto pairs you are not realizing any gain, thus you don't need to declare it. Until you eventually sell of course.
