To be specific-- the current choice is between well-understood, scalable, battle-tested centralized designs and half-baked, work-in-progress, decentralized designs that don't work very well.

Example-- building a centralized Facebook replacement is doable. Some idealistic developer can sit down one summer, break the problem into little pieces and iterate on it. If enough other developers and investors get interested, they can throw money at it to make it scale and attract a non-trivial userbase.

Building a decentralized Facebook replacement is simply not doable. An idealistic developer can sit down one summer, break the problem into little pieces but not all of them have viable solutions. I.e., how do you do discoverability? And more importantly, how do you do discoverability in a way that justifies the expense of decentralizing-- e.g., how do I query an untrusted node and receive an answer without that node knowing what I was searching for? The only extant solution I've seen on that is from Gnunet. And it doesn't do stemming or partial matches, so it's quite brittle and untested.

I think it's important to keep reminding people to describe the current decentralization efforts as an open research problem. Otherwise people get it in their heads that decentralization always has a particular set of inescapable costs, and not all of them are inescapable.

Edit: clarification
The fact that people enjoy different things does not mean they are all as intellectually valuable. Children like stories with talking animals, but that doesn't mean all talking animals are appropriate for all venues. Likewise, we can reasonably (even if contentiously) make value judgements about some format that people really enjoy, like pulpy romance novels, clickbait teasers, or outrage porn.

HN is supposed to be about gratifying intellectual curiosity (explicitly in the guidelines). Romance novels, talking animals, and run-of-mill human interest pieces don't belong.

Honey also works pretty well if applied immediately on the skin and if the burns are not that serious to begin with. My ex-wife managed to pour burning edible oil on her hand while she was cooking some fries, but no scar remained because we applied honey on the affected skin almost immediately.
For me this is the case as well if I know what I'm drawing. If I need to find a way to 'put things on paper', I'd rather have some interactive options, preferably speedy ones ;)

It's embarrassing that manufacturers are still making computers with silicon chips in them. The first silicon chip was over 50 years ago. Yes, most of the components and surrounding systems have been upgraded, but it still has the same basic material.

(etc., etc. -- "old" does not mean "bad"; the 757 is a perennial example of people claiming to want something they don't really want; and the 737 is a proven, successful design, so there's absolutely no "embarrassment" in the fact that it's still being manufactured and flown)

"The big selling point for me with React is that I no longer have to learn yet another templating language."

Hmm, I get the impression you're tired of having to learn something new and you're happy to stick with what just works for you. . I understand but I'm not sure everyone feel that way, but I would be honest enough to say I think most people in FE development are on your wavelength.

Here's the entire syntax documentation:
- Tags are functions
- Attributes + props are object literals
- Strings are text nodes,
- Remaining parameters are child elements

It's nothing but basic JavaScript.

The separation is not enforced by API it's a discipline that can't be forced into React via JSX as far as I've tried.

Here you have:
- No transpiler
- No logic mixed in semantics
- No vague component separation
- No wrapping everything in a div (use ...spread)
- No new syntax to learn

Maybe it's not for you, but the advantages are more than obvious.
I figured that the different rates had to be intentional, but I did wonder why. Thanks for the explanation. I remember the checkerboard background on the 3G when you were scrolling too fast, if the speed was faster I mention it would've been way too easy to hit that.

It never occurred to me that Safari page is what the outlier, I just assumed that Safari pages matched the rest of the system and iframes for the thing that we're off.

Maybe this won't be as hard to get used to as I feared.

That doesn't appear to be what the research is suggesting. From this, it's not about ego, it's about the fear of uncertainty.

> That's the big problem.

I disagree. I have been working on a self-evidently great idea for over 5 years. Even now, with millions joyfully invested by a collaborator, incredibly good PR optics, and success on all fronts, a significant group of internal leadership hates it.

For a non-trivial set of great ideas, it's not even jealousy of the idea. It's jealousy of the subordinate's time and position. Who the hell let that pion have an idea and then let them work on it?
It's important to remember that JSON is "very close" to Javascript but is not actually Javascript. JSON allows arbitrary precision numbers. So, the number `1.0000000000000001` (or, similarly, an extremely large integer) isn't representable in standard Javascript, but if a JSON encoder emits that, a "proper" parser would actually parse that as an exact value (compare Python `simplejson.parse` with `use_decimal=True` vs `use_decimal=False`). I guess what I'm saying is that a proper JSON parser kinda already has this issue.
My first thought upon looking at the map: they're moving away from the coastline.
There is a thing which I constantly have to admit to myself: I will not do all the things I want to do. It makes me sad for a moment, until I realize that the chaotic and unfocused way I drift towards the thing that's currently grabbing my attention is reducing my productivity and the number of those projects I will accomplish.

The only answer is to get focused and prioritize the things you want to do. Make a plan. Create a system.

> Barcelona uses heavily Catalonian language for all: trafic signs, street posters, commerce, casual conversation, television, politics... all.

I wouldn't discourage the OP like that. Most of Barcelona's huge immigrant population -- Romanian, Bulgarian, Pakistani, etc. -- never learns Catalan even after two decades living there. They manage perfectly fine without Catalan, and become proficient in Castilian instead. (Of course, their children learn Catalan as they go through the local school system.)

Of course, I think it would be rude for a white collar person like the OP to move to Barcelona and never learn Catalan, but he could certainly move there and get by with Castilian for the first several months.

Pedantry: you can keep a Wikipedia page with virtually no followers or following of any kind. The criteria for Wikipedia pages is simply:

(a) That there be some recognizable claim of notability --- this is an extremely low bar.

(b) That the notability claim, and any other material in the article, be backed entirely by reliable secondary sources.

(c) That after the article is stripped down to facts that can be verified in reliable secondary sources, there's still an encyclopedia article's worth of content left. This, too, is a very low bar.

Where pages tend to run afoul of WP's notability requirement is item (b).

But it's easy to see --- and to provide examples of --- people that with no public influence at all still having a Wikipedia page.
I agree with the main thesis, but from the exchange, it just sounded like the biker was giving the author some gentle ribbing.
Here's my straw-man proposal:

Allow both indentation-based and bracket-based syntax. Have a tool like scalafmt/goformat that freely converts between the two on a per-file and per-project basis.

When you're writing your own code, use the indentation-based syntax. You can paste in bracket-based code anywhere, hit the auto-format key on your IDE or run the commandline formatter and everything becomes nice and indentation-based.

When you're writing books, libraries, example projects, SO posts, use the bracket-based syntax. That way people who read your book/library source/example/SO post can freely copy and paste into their own projects.

This has minimal impact on bracket-based syntax diehards; everything they read and write stays the same. They won't even see the new syntax if they don't want to.
Indeed, HN is a place for gratifying intellectual curiosity. If you feel a submission (or comment, for that matter) is inappropriate for HN, please flag or down-vote it and move on.

My point is that QC-s have the potential to be as revolitonary as transistors were. Yet we are at the level when transistors were mostly used to make radios portable. Thus it's not really justified to mock them as lame factoring devices.
For example, here is a Prolog version that describes the task you mention via constraints on integers:

solution(Ds) :-
length(Ds, 9),
Ds ins 0..9,
foldl(segment_divisible(Ds), Ds, 1, _).

segment_divisible(Ds, _, I0, I) :-
I #= I0 + 1,
length(Finals, I0),
append(_, Finals, Ds),
reverse(Finals, RFs),
foldl(digits_number, RFs, 0-0, N-_),
N #= I0*_.

digits_number(D, I0-P0, I-P) :-
I #= I0 + D*10^P0,
P #= P0 + 1.

We can use it to generate solutions, for example:

?- solution(Ds), label(Ds).
Ds = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] ;
Ds = [0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 6, 0, 0] ;
Ds = [0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 5, 1, 2, 0] ;
Ds = [0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 7, 7, 2, 0] .

To exclude solutions where the leftmost digit is 0, we can simply impose an additional constraint on that digit. In addition, we are free to try different search strategies, completely decoupled from the constraints:

?- solution(Ds), Ds = [First|_], First #\= 0,
reverse(Ds, Rs), label(Rs),
portray_clause(Ds), false.
[9, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0].
[8, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0].
[7, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0].
[6, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0].
[5, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0].
[4, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0].
etc.

Constraints allow us to easily describe and efficiently such tasks. Note that this is very different from naive exhaustive search: The constraint solver automatically prunes those branches of the search space that cannot lead to a solution.

I will suggest that you are not able to do more because you just don't have it to give. Your job and other responsibilities are taking all you've got already.

That said, it isn't hopeless. You can do some of the following things to squeeze more out of life:

1. Improve your diet and overall fitness level so you have more energy.

2. Improve your sleep habits so you have more energy.

3. Streamline your life (such as reducing how much material stuff you own) so that you can free up time and energy that is currently accounted for.

Additionally, you can do creative/productive stuff in your free time if you will stop applying job-like metrics to it. If you want to blog more, start some ridiculous blog that is easy to post to and then just post crap. Keep it short and don't give yourself a schedule. This idea that you need to updated a youtube channel weekly is crazy talk. You can update it once in a blue moon and if people like what you do, it will get some traffic (maybe not tons) and it will add value to the world.

I am medically handicapped. I have multiple blogs. NONE of them has a schedule.

My most successful one gets a few hundred page views a day and is sometimes updated as little as once a month. In fact, it was officially abandoned at one time for about six months with a "BYE!" post informing visitors it was abandoned and I resumed it when I realized it was getting traffic via organic search because people had need of the info. It is a niche thing and will never be big, but I do it whenever the fuck I do it and people benefit from it and say nice things about it and it even occasionally makes a smidgeon of money.

What do you mean by RAM monitoring? Just keeping an eye on how much RAM you are using? If so how does this relate specifically to Hetzner?

As for temperature monitoring: how do you act on events? If the server runs heavy workloads for a while it will get hot, yes. Heck sometimes it goes above a threshold (say, 80 C) for a minute for seemingly no reason (maybe it is the period software update job?). But what do you do when you get a temperature notification? Shut the server down? For every such event? I am currently leaning towards not monitoring temperature at all because if the hardware breaks Hetzner will replace it anyway (I have backups).

I was under the impression that you can't currently recover your files from a seed on sia. Is that correct?

I was also wondering if siacoin is LN compatible. Can you speak to that? It looks like there is something similar up, but will I be able to pay for storage with any other LN compatible coin?

I'd have loved to see the value of coins like these that are supposed to provide a specific economic utility have their value essentially determined by it. For instance you could simply mint new bitseconds * mining efficiency each time that someone issues a proof of storage over a given time period. This way the value of bitseconds shouldn't never go above the real price for storage over time.

Obviously you'd need to set the mining efficiency below 1 to encourage people to actually store user files, or else it'd always be more profitable to just store for the mining rewards.

This is a relatively small change to how blocks are defined syntactically in a language that already brings quite a bit to the table over Java.. You say reminds, which is fair, but I'd say it's also quite different.

I'm a huge proponent of TypeScript and critic of using CoffeeScript in 2017, so while you may not(but may!) agree that TypeScript brings significant value over raw ES6+ I definitely relate with CofeeScript not bringing enough value to the table to warrant such a divergence in syntax. I will say though that pre-ES6+ it really tidied up a few things like classes, this binding, etc.

I've argued for and successfully migrated CoffeeScript projects to TypeScript, but I'll be the first to admit it is "ugly" compared to CoffeeScript. F# is a pretty elegant language IMHO, and it's success using significant white space is cited early in the post. If we can have all the added VALUE of Scala AND a tidier, potentially optional syntax then why not?
Sure if you only have one system generating the ids.

Once you deal with distributed systems, you need some "fat" to prevent duplicate ids from being generated. That's usually done with an N-bit prefix identifying the server plus a time stamp prefix.
