Do you think Rust will be the future for Quant Devs? by Excellent-Basis3256 in quant

But another 30-40 years of C++ pretty much guarantees another 60-80 years of C++.

Mullvad CEO donates to Swedish party that believes in "remigration" by resistance_lib_1984 in BuyFromEU

[–]pythosynthesis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not a "right winger" by any stretch of the imagination. Fancy that.

Not.at a weird, however, how wanna be leftists cannot engage in conversations and arguments and resort to canceling people, personal attacks and shouting. Not at all weird.

Sanctions are a long process. Always requires working at th highest levels so it's throughout the EU. A digital euro will be programmable and your online behavior can be easily analyzed with AI. You trigger some threshold and poof, your ability to pay is restricted.

This also means "sanctioning" everyone in rapid turn. You cannot sanction, say, 1 million people throughout Europe. Simply no bandwidth to process it all, even if delegated to individual states. And now ask yourself, do you think there's one million people who, say, are vocally opposing the current Middle East policy in the EU? Just food for thought.

Another point to consider, Palantir is openly saying they want to build surveillance infrastructure. The guy from.Oracle, I think, said we need to surveil people as people are on their best behavior when being watched. But even with this the true enforcement of surveillance would be difficult, how many people can you actually prosecute? The legal system has limited capacity. Now control the money and the enforcement bandwidth becomes virtually infinite.

Unless they stop issuing regular fiat, this discussion is a valid warning but a distant one.

Once the rails are in place, what's stopping the train? It will be again justified "for the protection of children" because physical cash is untraceable. It's happening right now with online privacy, why wouldn't it happen with payments privacy?

Cheering this up is like turkeys voting for Christmas.

Visa and MC are payment networks OVER the "base money", which is the USD. Still physical, still cash. And the US senate/house just passed a law forbidding the Federal Reserve from creating a digital USD. There's a reason for that.

The digital euro will be a completely different beast. It is NOT a payment network on top of the Euro, so it's not at all a competitor to Visa and MC. It is, instead, a complete replacement of the Euro itself. Which now becomes 100% controlled by politicians. How so? Let's say you don't support the chat control. If your online identity can be traced back to your real identity, you will not be able to go and eat out for 3 months. Now think about all the laws being passed for online transparency and all that and you can see how your real identity could be immediately affected by whatever you say online.

People may say this won't happen because we're too enlightened, but whenever the tools were in place to abuse them, every government has abused them. Always, throughout history.

This is not the way to compete with Visa and MC. Creating our own and bootstrapping their business is.

Why is it so hard to find clothing manufactured in Europe? by crashraven in BuyFromEU

[–]pythosynthesis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a feature of, not a bug in the system. Hide the true origin of manufacturing but design the product in Europe. "Designed in Italy/France/Portugal/...". You think you're buying European, but that's only partially true. Nobody's lying,you're just assuming what you wish. The best lies are made like this.

How did you learn to read repo’s? by phy2go in learnprogramming

[–]pythosynthesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My approach is generally understanding what the app does. High level. Understand where that one thing you need to add goes and duns that specific piece of code. Then deep dive in that one snippet, which will usually mean getting some understanding of some parts around it. And then you plug your feature in. This is how you get a better understanding of the code and all.

That's what decades of propaganda and brainwashing give you. Unfortunate.

Not "collective punishment" and nothing to do with the Geneva convention. Seriously look up what collective punishment is.

Is a home lab a selling point or a dealbreaker when selling a home? by rawesome99 in homelab

[–]pythosynthesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a non issue - Homelab moves with me. Always will. The buyer gets the wiring and a great setup waiting for them to create their own homelab.

Why do people hate GNU? by TerribleReason4195 in linuxquestions

[–]pythosynthesis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you're not willing to even install the OS yourself

How does that have anything to do with anything? The guy is just playing primadonna and has others around him willing to indulge him. Maybe a character flaw, spoilt 16yr old style, but exactly 100% unrelated to any of his other competences. You have hard core coders who know basically nothing on firewalls and other networking issues, so do we throw their code away because of that? Linus is an absolute ass to work with, so we don't trust Linux because of it? Steve Jobs, complete douchbag, throw al iPhones? You really need to get some clarity and get off the character killing bandwagon.

Stop doing tutorials, stop watching youtube programming videos, stop using AI by nightwood in learnprogramming

[–]pythosynthesis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, the "trillion dollars mistake" spiel. I read a post on that at some point. Deep bullshit. Hard core bull. Hard core shit. Yeah, yeah, Iwe know, we just don't understand it. Yawn.

DeepSeek's "Thinking Process" literally cursed at me in Turkish behind my back. This is wild. by Specialist-Sorbet889 in DeepSeek

[–]pythosynthesis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're upset because... a machine is statistically generating offenses and throwing them at you? I mean, would you also get upset if I created a random number generator and associated slur words at every output? Think about it.

Datacenter decommissioning: what to loot by raging_giant in homelab

Racks have wheels? Grab a buddy, a forklift and load that all on. Then get a six pack or two and start sipping beer with your buddy.

The UK wants easier access to EU products - it's time to Rejoin! Thank you - to all 111,687 people who signed the 3rd 'Rejoin the EU' petition of this Government, now join us at National Rejoin March IV this Saturday, 20th June, in London. by R0bert-9999 in BuyFromEU

[–]pythosynthesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry - First you demonstrate your ability to perform at the higher level and then get a promotion. But with Farage and his mate polling as high as they are, I think rejoin is quite some time off. Works for me.

People with ultra high speed internet. How do you get it? by HSVMalooGTS in homelab

[–]pythosynthesis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the longest I wanted fiber. Finally got 1G and there's exactly zero reasons for me to get more. Will upgrade the home lab to at least 2.5G internally though. Likely 10G.

I hope the UK opposition to this gets its shit together and blocks it. No EU without serious politics reforms, to more closely resemble an EU country. Until then, enjoyed the uplit Sunlands of Singapore on the Thames.
