The reason public relations is evil in modern society is because, like discrimination, public relations works by dumb association and not logic or fairness.
If you're the son of the killer, you're fucked.
This is unlike our ideal for law which attempts, though sometimes fails, at isolating cause and effect.
- always upvote questions you care about, to increase the probability that they will get answered
- never upvote other people's answers unless you might gain from it somehow, otherwise you are just giving other high reputation users more reputation relative to you
- only mark something to close or as a duplicate if it will bring you some advantage, because closing things creates enemies, especially if the OP has a high profileOne example advantage is if you have already answered the question (and the duplicate as well in case of duplicates), because this will prevent competitors from adding new better answers to overtake you.
- protect questions you've answered whenever someone with less than 10 reputation answers it with a bad answer, to prevent other good contributors from coming along and beating you
- when you find a duplicate pool answer every question with similar answers.Alter each answer slightly to avoid the idiotic duplicate answer detector.If one of the question closes, it is not too bad, as it continues netting you to upvotes, and prevents new answers from coming in.
- follow on Twitter/RSS someone who comments on the top features of new software releases. E.g. for Git, follow GitHub on Twitter, C++ on Reddit. Then run back to any question which has a new answer.
- always upvote the question when you answer it:
- the more upvotes, more likely people are to click it.
- the OP is more likely to see your answer and feel good and upvote you
- if a niche question only has few answers and you come with a good one, upvote the existing ones by other high profile users.This may lead to them upvoting or liking you.Even if they don't, other people will still see your answer anyway, and this will lead to people to upvoting you more just to make your great answer surpass the current ones, especially if the accepted one has less upvotes than yours. Being second is often an asset.
- always upvote comments that favor you:
- "I like this answer!" on your answers
- "also look at that question" when you have answered that question
- don't invest a lot in edits. They don't give you rep, and they can get reverted and waste your time.Why are you trying to help other people's answers to get rep anyways? Just make a separate answer instead! :-)
- if you answer a question by newbie without 15 reputation, find their other questions if any and upvote them, so that the OP can upvote your answer in addition to just accepting
- If you haven't answered a question, link to related questions you've answered on question comments, so more people will come to your answers.If you have answered the question, only link to other questions at the bottom of your answer, so that people won't go away before they reach your answer, and so as to strengthen your answer.
- if a question has 50 million answers and you answer it (often due to a new feature), make a comment on the question pointing to your answer
- if you get a downvote, always leave a comment asking why. It is not because you care about their useless opinion, but because other readers might see the comment, feel sorry for you, and upvote.
- ask any questions under a separate anonymous accounts. Because:
- intelligent people are born knowing, and don't ever ask any questions, so that would hurt your reputation
- downvoting questions does not take 1 reputation away from the downvoter, and so it greatly opens the door for your opponents to downvote you without any cost.
Ordinals are inscriptions created with the protocol described at: docs.ordinals.com/inscriptions.html The protocol was designed by developer Casey Rodarmor, and shares a few similarities with the AtomSea & EMBII protocol.
The protocol also includes a way to have ownership over inscriptions, effectively creating an NFT system on top of the bitcoin blockchain. AtomSea & EMBII also already had such a system however. In either case, Ciro Santilli couldn't give less of a fuck about who owns some random publicly viewable digital asset.
For whatever reason, orinals became extremelly popular compared to the AtomSea & EMBII format, leading to millions os inscriptions, and 10k+ images as of block 830k. They also started to take up a substatial portion of the available block space.
This in turn led to a lot of child porn rediscussion, and people linking back to this page to view earlier inscriptions: incoming links.
Unfortunately, unlike AtomSea & EMBII and even cryptograffiti.info uploads, most ordinals are designed to be just souless bulk collectibles, as with as much artistic merit as any random collectible card set or postage stamps you may find at a newpaper stall. To make things worse many of them are likely algorithmically generated. Eternal September had truly arrived to the Bitcoin blockchain. As a result, machine learning would be almost essential in order to find interesting uploads amidst such bulk.

i0 at the end of the URL above means "inscription 0". This is because a single transaction can have multiple inscriptions.Some of them have sold for high prices. Magic Eden is a popular interface for trading them:

The ordinals also started taking up large portions of the Bitcoin blockchain:

This example is the same as nodejs/sequelize/raw/parallel_select_and_update.js, but going through Sequelize rather than with Sequelize raw queries.
NONE is not supported for now to not have a transaction at all because lazy.The examples illustrates: stackoverflow.com/questions/55452441/for-share-and-for-update-statements-in-sequelize
Sample invocation:where:
node --unhandled-rejections=strict ./parallel_select_and_update.js p 10 100 READ_COMMITTED UPDATEREAD_COMMITTED: one of the keys documented at: sequelize.org/master/class/lib/transaction.js~Transaction.html which correspond to the standard sQL isolation levels. It not given, don't set one, defaulting to the database's/sequelize's default level.UPDATE: one of the keys documented at: sequelize.org/master/class/lib/transaction.js~Transaction.html#static-get-LOCK. Update generates aSELECT FOR UPDATEin PostgreSQL for example. If not given, don't use anyFOR xxxexplicit locking.
Other examples:
node --unhandled-rejections=strict ./parallel_select_and_update.js p 10 100 READ_COMMITTED UPDATE
Then, the outcome is exactly as described at: nodejs/sequelize/raw/parallel_select_and_update.js:
READ_COMMITTED: failsREAD_COMMITTED UPDATE: worksREPEATABLE_READ: works, but is a bit slower, as it does rollbacksThis case also illustrates Sequelize transaction retries, since in this transaction isolation level transactions may fail:

- sauropsida: reptiles and birds, which really are reptiles
- mammals, or if you want to include a bunch of extinct non-reptile mammal ancestors, synapsids.
Does not include amphibians. If you include them, you have the tetrapods.

Java is good.
Its boilerplate requirement is a pain, but the design is otherwise very clean.
But its ecosystem sucks.
The development process is rather closed, the issue tracker obscure.
And above all, Google LLC v. Oracle America, Inc. killed everybody's trust in it once and for all. Thanks Oracle.
Not to be confused with the University of Michigan. Not confusing at all right!
