The problem with price discovery is that it's a Homo Economicus sort of solution. A fully rational consumer with full information will react as intended. In the real world, it fails because it requires real-time information distribution and reaction.

In the best case, they sent out a message to all their customers: "Your power prices are about to quintuple, disconnect now."

Some of those messages will bounce or be delayed. Some will arrive to people who can't read them immediately (in car, asleep, out of reach of device, doing something else). The people who actually do read the message then have to go around trying to adjust things-- hitting overloaded provider-change services, or scurrying around in the breaker box or running around the house pulling cords-- while the clock is ticking.

It might work if you eliminate the real-time decision process. I'm envisioning a modernized version of the central breaker box, where you could indicate on a per-circuit level the cut points. The decorative fountain pump cuts off at 8 cents per kWh, the kitchen appliances at 25, and the circuit running the mini-fridge containing your perishable medications will keep chugging at basically any price. This can be modeled and ran through simulations. You'd have to set this up during onboarding, and for optimal value, the house would have to be designed around it, to place outlets on different circuits where it could be useful.

But even that needs a need liability fallback if they don't relay the data accurately-- if a message is lost in communication and the house still thinks electricity is 10c/kWh, when it's $10, who's going to eat the difference? Who'd trust the system with that much money at risk?
Replacing our roof last year was 40.000USD, (250.000DKK). While we able to pay it off faster, it’s basically a 14 year bank loan. Not everyone, depending on country and salary, is able to get those loans at reasonable rate, but you’ll still need a new roof. That means saving like crazy and holidays get expensive pretty fast, and isn’t something you REALLY need, making it a place to save money.

Try saving to much on home maintenance and you risk damaging your property, lowering it’s value in the future. Owning a home is expensive, it’s still a sound finacial choice, depending on country and so on, but it has a running cost.
It's indeed a common approach that they list their dependencies so you can build runtime DAGs for multithreading, but my main point is that within one system dependencies can be selected at will (I believe Unity allows to just change these at runtime as well). In the end they just get the entire gameworld fed in and then select what they need. If you take something like writing unit tests, you basically have to mock the entire gameworld because these dependencies could change, even if only theoretically. I struggle to find a good way a generic approach of DOD can prevent that.

In general it's also very hard to get dependencies done right. I think Unity does it well, but from what I saw some years ago it's one of few (for implentations that are public). Also not surprising considering Mike Acton seems to play a significant role in that.

Yeah their arguments on performance are an even worse aspect of the article. It's clear that no game or simulation of significant scale has been built with Godot.
I'm amazed by the hostility of these comments, including personal attacks, and by this post being flagged. The author isn't some nobody who just finished a boot camp, but a very skilled C hacker. He makes a good argument for the importance of portability, a topic that seldom comes up in the C/Rust discussions I've read.

I think a lot of the blame for the backlash in the iOS community over Swift should be laid squarely at Apple's feet. At WWDC they pitched it as production-ready but the truth is that even today it is seriously unfinished. It doesn't even support incremental compilation and the tooling is still very fragile. I'd strongly recommend anybody new to iOS to start with ObjC for now. You need to at least be able to read ObjC to understand the APIs and all of the sample code out there and it's still overall a more productive environment.

I don't think any of Swift's current problems are unfixable but I'd give it another year or so at least to mature.

That apple collects "non-personal" location data isn't a secret. Look at their privacy policy:

Note the emphasis in all of this on "non-personal". As somebody else pointed out, Steve Jobs is technically correct in the statement he (supposedly) made.
Instead of theorizing, how about just using it and seeing if it actually helps ?

Ugh. This is why I was saying before that I'm quite worried that Whatsapp itself didn't come out and say publicly that it uses TextSecure's end-to-end protocol, and that we should stop praising them for "adopting end-to-end encryption" until they actually say they did (for which I got downvoted).

It's basically just people who go deep on the spirituality part of religion, with very intense prayer and meditation, very focused lifestyle, etc. Religiously they generally adhere to the mainstream schools of Islam and consider themselves part of the wider religious community.

The more recent movement of Salafism, centered in Saudi Arabia, has made Sufism one of their targets in their quest to 'clean up' Islam, since it doesn't fit into their back-to-basics view on religion. So there is quite a big schism now between this movement and its followers, and the general community (for whom Sufism is an ingrained, and often treasured, tradition).
From my perspective, it was Trump that made Twitter relevant for me.

They were being reinforced by mysterious federal forces then… which was bad, so we got rid of them. Last time’s problem was solved so hard it produced this time’s problem.

The other issue is that reinforcements in DC are controlled by the President, who of course wanted this to happen so he could watch it on TV, so he didn’t mobilize any of them.
The violating content they removed was trump repeating the same stolen election crud he's been saying for a month and then __urging the protesters to go home peacefully, preserve law and order, etc__.

Here is a copy: https://files.catbox.moe/71gfr1.mp4

For those that don't want to play a video this is an unabridged transcript:

"I know your pain. I know your hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us, it was a landslide election and everyone knows it especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order we have to respect our great people in law and order. We don't want anybody hurt. It's a very tough period of time, there has never been a time like this where such a thing happened, where they could take it away from all of us, from me, from you, from our country. This was a fraudulent election but we can't play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home, we love you, you're very special, you've seen what happens you've seen the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel. But go home and go home in peace."

I was watching a live stream from the mob and the protesters (the buffalo costume guy, in fact) were trying to get other protesters to leave on the basis of trumps message and people were believing the claim was fake because twitter restricted sharing so the only way to see it was to directly go to the page.

Seems like an odd choice.
He still does and always had access to it, but true to character, he wanted to build his own brand and follower base rather than that of the POTUS account which will be closed and archived once he is dethroned.
Even HN isn't that much different imo, especially outside its core competence of technical discussion (which is quite good). Discussions about economics, government, education, etc., on reddit and HN are about equally annoying to me (though I occasionally seem to fail to abstain from them at both places), with a lot of mob-mentality, up/down-voting based on agreement/disagreement, and not very well thought out knee-jerk responses. Reddit definitely has more non-serious discussion (e.g. long pun threads), but on the threads that are more serious, I don't see it as that much worse.

The main difference seems to be a different political skew: Reddit has a lot of democratic-socialist types, while HN has a lot of libertarian types. On Reddit it's unlikely you'll be upvoted if you're right-of-center, but on HN it's unlikely you'll be upvoted if you're left-of-center. Conversely, you can get upvoted on Reddit for a generic "corporations suck" comment, and you can get upvoted on HN for a generic "unions suck" comment.
"We find quite often, however, that your historical data is incompatible with the schema that you want to use going forward."

Can you go into this more? What schema do you find companies are using at scale and how is this different from their initial setup?
Industry: IT side of stock exchanges.
Quite a space to explore as it is one of the last parts of the sector that is not widely covered by conventional financial media (FT etc.) and has no commonly used resources on the web.
Barriers:
End users (traders) usually have no say in the choice of platform/software, extremely secretive industry, most solutions are tailored.
Nobody in my friends or family uses WhatsApp already, so it's pretty trivial for me I guess.
This is so cool! I really like your project. Its so simple and powerful and very succinct. Do you have an example for the "Poor man's file sharing"? I tried doing the simple thing:

> curl -F 'data=@test.txt' https://patchbay.pub/test.txt

And on the other computer:

> curl https://patchbay.pub/test.txt

But I'm seeing that the output is being wrapped with "Content-Disposition" and "Content-Type" at the top. I'm no HTTP expert, but is there a way to use your server (or namely, curl) to transfer the file so that it doesn't wrap this info?
Why is this bad news? The article has pretty positive spin.

Nope, circular logic. Who enforces the transparency? The state?

edit: re: edit:

The point is that the call for transparency as a solution presupposes the whole "consent of the governed" idea, which is laughable. Consider accident of birth and majority tyranny.

>They have to be a single python expression, but that’s not the same as the usual understanding of “functional” (i.e., referentially transparent). Consider:

True, yeah

>But it wouldn't be hard to write a typed sequence class that wrapped a lisp-style immutable list implemented with nested tuples with the deepest nested one an empty tuple in Python, there's just not a lot of demand for it.

A doubly linked list with the same slice syntax would be fine. You can use java style classes as it's just the underlying implementation. There's no demand (currently) but it's a good idea as python syntax works extremely well (better then even javascript) for functional programming.

It's even more funny to leave a comment like this without even elaborating on the argument and not contributing to the overall discussion. Why would this blog post mention Cardano?

I've always the held the somewhat cynical position that this sort of stuff would push [the interesting] people towards other, decentralized Internets. I'm a big fan of new projects like IPFS and DAT, and GNUnet had a great call to arms on their about page (which seems to have been moderated a little) [1] saying very similar things to the article. Maybe the internet of things will save us after all, by finally providing the vast, dense network of interconnected wireless devices that is needed to provide a robust structure to a really distributed net.

That seemed an odd thing to include. Making food is a rewarding and intriguing pursuit. It combines aesthetics, science, social benefit and sensual rewards. It has a rich history and tons of controversies to poke at.

I never feel that making dinner is a waste of my time.
ICANN members are not powerless, even if organizing and kicking ICANN out is a lot of work.

It's an interesting point, and I agree in part, but not directly related to my observation about them (economic arguments).
Neighborhood greenways and bike boulevards are becoming more and more common in the US and within professional bike advocacy circles.

The reason why these treatments aren't front and center is because people are being hurt and killed on high-speed arterials, where the best choice is protected bike lanes. Different tools for different problems.
A) It's explicitly a functional programming primer - the goal is to stick to that style's idioms. The author explicitly states they are not being Pythonic, but functional.

B) This argument holds for the programmer who has never before interacted with map or filter. The functions are standard across many languages, and after a handful of uses are much more concise and just as clear and easy to read as a Python list comprehension, perhaps more so due to their ubiquity.

Note: This post and the author's article are explicitly not about what the idiomatic Python is for these situations.
I don't think plausible deniability is really present here. Unlike other things where we "know" it was the gov't (if only because who else is going to spend the financial resources for the attack), here it's been pretty well disected that this is happening on the Great Firewall level.
> IE pioneered much of the modern web (AJAX...)! The problem with IE is that it got entranched in the enterprise and couldn't change very easily! Ya, sure, we get to go off and use Firefox and Chrome, but there are literally tons of internal web apps that only work in IE, making IE difficult to change and evolve.

This is...overstating things. I really like the belated recognition that the early IE team got for the work they did for the web, but that was 15 years ago. At some point you have to address the intervening years.

Meanwhile, maintaining backwards compatibility was a problem IE has had, but is not at all the reason for the pain of almost a decade of IE dominance during that time. "established technologies that IE refused to use" is a fair assessment of at least some of that, although for almost five of those years there wasn't even an IE team to refuse to use standards as it had been disbanded.

In any case, as a web developer, I'm for the most part thrilled with Spartan's plan of attack and look forward to seeing it succeed.
Pablo Neruda, Nicanor Parra and Pablo Picasso (he wrote great prose poems). I also like Fransisco de Quevedo and Miguel de Cervantes (yes, Cervantes was also a poet).
So assuming that the Chinese government weaponized their firewall, the question is why are they using it in such a transparent way?

Github is pretty firmly in the camp of open information, and used by nearly every web software engineer in the world. Surely they're not going to succeed at censoring these projects. As an attempt to project power and send some sort of warning, something about it just seems like a pretty flawed strategy.
Here is a good interview question:

Design a simple system that uses amazon as backend to store encrypted data and the keys never leave your control.

So they have 185 req/s for all their Stack Exchange sites. Let's say half of that is on Stack Overflow. That's 93 req/s and they do it with one DB (and one hot standby) with 384GB of RAM. I don't know many sites that big, so I think that the majority of people that say "the DB does not scale" work all for online properties with more that hundreds of millions of users, or are optimizing for a problem they will never have.

Do you know much about this?

The BBC FAQ [1] says "you always have a good chance of getting in (although early queuing is advisable for the more popular concerts)" - does "early" mean 30 minutes before the concert starts, or 6 hours before? And how do you tell which concerts will need earlier queuing?

>I didn't say it works 100% of time. (See my other comment

When you reply to 'ensures' then by default you are talking about ensuring. There are plenty of ways for hosted fonts to fail, even in supported browsers. And when you talk about fallbacks with 'at least' you have missed the point that an image format is comic sans or bust, never an inferior font.

>I did say that I wasn't sure if that was a joke or not

Being aware that you missed a joke doesn't make a joke-missing comment better.

>This is why people shouldn't down vote without leaving a reply first. :)

So you can pedantically argue about being right rather than accept that your comment wasn't as helpful as you thought? Seems like a net negative to me.

>somewhat petty

I suppose. It depends on whether you think downvotes are necessarily a rebuke.

>So basically what you are saying is you down voted me because you misread my post

I didn't downvote you. What an unfortunate misreading. ;)
I did not say put it in the cloud. Although it is totally possible to create backup solution that is undecryptable by the cloud hosting provider.
