Because I also drive a VW Up! with a 59BHP engine (1.0 N/A) and I think the engine is too weak for the car.

The issue isn't the peak power, but the torque curve. Small, naturally aspirated engines have very poor torque curves, which means that you really have to rev the engine to get the rated power from it. In real driving, where you're between 2,000 and 4,000RPM most of the time, the engine only makes at most 40BHP (peak torque of a meagre 80lb-ft doesn't come in until 3,500RPM). This is fine for driving in built up areas, but it's really bad when you need to accelerate up-hill on an on-ramp to join a motorway or build up speed on dual carriageways where there are roundabouts every mile.
They mean application crashes, not the entire OS. And Flash was the reason they rewrote Safari's plugin system to load them in a separate process so as not to crash the entire browser. This was released around the same time as the open letter.
I understand that if one node is compromised, it can then be used to generate malicious txs and the attacker can try to add them to a block it generates, but why would you say the other validators accept such block(s) or transactions in the first place?

It seems to me that a successful attack on a private blockchain requires the attacker gaining access to both a "pre-approved" node and having the hashrate majority needed to ensure its blocks are generated faster than the rest of the network combined.

EBS optimized VMs looks nice on paper, you can choose the size and pay for your needs only. But the once you start to use the disk in production you see the problems.

In short, if you want to use the disk a lot, you need to pay a lot. If your app is slow on aws and uses EBS as storage, increase the disk size, not the VM instance type. This is true mostly for database performance, which once the RAM is filled, relies on IO a lot to get new pages from disk.
Somewhat redundant as that is actually referenced by the article itself, both as a general discussion point regarding passphrases/passwords and specifically because that specific string is actually found a number of times in the reference data sets.

Maybe they don't do the same thing, because the pathway is different, so the feedback is directed differently, as you say, different things. Maybe they are not all that different because both work, in part, by association with a perceived in-group. Then again, social networking, ie. facebook in it inception, has a focus on sexual instincts, whereas smoking, by my estimate, mostly uses hunger (and other pain) related pathways.
I think the rough IPv6 equivalent of a single IPv4 ban would be to ban a /64 subnet. This bans all users in that subnet which is the same as banning an IPv4 subnet hiding behind a single NAT address.

I think the frequenters to HN are going to be predominantly comp-sci in background, but I have seen posts from persons with expertise in practically all knowledge domains.

My thinking about academia is that tools and methods should be taught independently of fields and disciplines. You should be able to study tools and methods to the best of your ability and you shouldn't be able to fail them. Certain skills precede certain others but you can keep leveling up so to speak for as long as you are able. This means that math and logic and programming and methodologies get taught to everyone and you're encouraged to push yourself as far as you can go with them.

This is an attempt to get rid of mathiness. If it's seen as a path anyone can journey along for as long as they want then we de-mythologize it.

We have to build a third culture. One that subsumes the arts/humanities and sciences. One that neither valorizes math and the hard sciences nor literature and its handmaidens.

Thinking about abstraction leads to the lambda calculus in the hands of Church and to abstract expressionism in the hands of Kandinsky.

What am I trying to say here? I guess it is, why do I have to go to Scientific American if I want to read about Betty Shannon but I have to read the Times Literary Supplement for the low down on Deleuze and Guattari?

Agh, maybe what I'm saying I'm not able to yet articulate. Hope this doesn't come across as pretentious waffle.
I (and others [edit just want to emphasise that I was part of a team, reading this back later sounded like I was saying a few people chipped in rather than a whole team all worked on it full time]) built GRID: https://grid.ac

Each page is machine readable: https://grid.ac/institutes/grid.5335.0 -> https://grid.ac/institutes/grid.5335.0.json (other formats work too, like nt for triples, and accept headers can be used instead but I can't make those into a link).

So if you count that as an API, we offer it because the whole project is about getting people to use persistent identifiers for research institutes and using that in their workflows. Free an public data is required for this to work well, and making it easier to hook into your processing is vital.

Selfishly, if people used persistent IDs more then my job and the work my company does would be significantly easier, so giving people a free way of doing this and making it as easy as possible for them helps move the field I'm in forwards. Also, when we have grid ids in our data outputs, we want people to be able to use them & get extra metadata. Making our own products easier to use & integrate adds value as well.

Edit - you can see others using the ids here:

Everyone remembers the first person to break the 4 minute mile "barrier". I bet only a fraction of those people know who the current world record holder is for the mile and what his time is (even though he would have left Roger Bannister trailing distantly in his dust).

Roger Bannister, Einstein, Turing et al were all giants but they are are well know because they were first and made giant strides in specific fields. People are no less clever or gifted today, but it is much harder to make breakthroughs when so much is already understood and achieved. In almost all fields it is currently incremental improvements.
Exactly. I was told the "personal brand" advice, too.

I think a lot of the stuff that screwed the language was that it was initially supposed to be "an evolution of javascript" (ecmascript 4? I forget), so it took a on lot of the undesirable features of JavaScript, it was never a complete break from it.

Also, Adobe made a big-ish mistake in that it didn't keep the runtime separated from the VM - a lot of the VM abstractions (like pointer tagging) leaked into the runtime, and this is why a lot of things were harder to optimize in the VM than they should've been. Fortunately, the browser vendors didn't have this problem, that's why their GC could "run circles around Flash".
Looks like a great guide to get started with coding with Minecraft. There have been some efforts over the years, but this looks really complete. One obstacle for schools to get started with this however, is buying all the Minecraft licenses.

To this end, I've been toying around a bit with an open source Minecraft clone called Minetest lately [1][2]. It's surprisingly complete, and could also have great uses in (programming) education.

It has a C++ core based on the Irrlicht 3D engine, but many of the game mechanics are implemented in Lua. Modifications like the examples in Teachcraft can also be built in Lua. For example, this [3] is a mod to spread flowers and mushrooms around the map.

The Lua language isn't used much currently in the education environment, which is mostly focused around Scratch, Python and sometimes Javascript. Then again, seeing different languages and noticing their similarities can be educational in itself.

Finally, I've been wondering how hard it would be to port something like Minetest to Emscripten. Irrlicht seems to be compatible already [4]. The non-JIT version of Lua is compatible as well [5]. Obstacles in Minetest that I can identify would be the heavy use of the filesystem, the use of UDP sockets and memory sharing between threads.

Would anyone know more about how hard porting something like this would be?

"Hybrids are also very silly - while on one power source, the other is dead weight, which requires more energy to propel, dragging the efficiency down. They're a stopgap measure, nothing more."

Extra batteries are also a heavy load, whether full or empty. So it's not that simple a calculation. Also, the power sources do often work together, in various ways, so it's not always a question of two parallel systems, but rather considering it as a whole system working together, which in many case is better than either alone.

As battery prices fall, and energy densities rise, and fast charge solutions are rolled out widely, then pure EVs will push out hybrids, but they'll be around for a while and have already saved a whole lot of money (it surprises me how little people consider efficiency when thinking about moving civilization forward and making everyone wealthier) as well as toxic emissions and greenhouse gasses.

Yes, jargon-heavy humanities papers work in the same vein as math-heavy economics (for example) papers. They are both, ultimately, bullshit.
I'm going to disagree with you here;

I don't believe I'm in such a unique position of having run both FreeNAS and FreeBSD on the same hardware (with the same zpool) so I expect others to chime in.

FreeNAS has been better from a performance perspective than FreeBSD raw was- why? Probably because I didn't do the right thing for good performance on FreeBSD. But that's my point here.. why spend ages configuring things to get the same performance you'd get OOTB with FreeNAS? You also get a webUI for "free" and plugins to run things like transmission and plex.

I don't advise using raw FreeBSD for home use, power users can still have all the CLI access on FreeNAS too, but may not want the "bloat" of a webUI.

The modern liberal ideology is based on completely ignoring facts and instead focusing on feels, there's nothing rational about it. I'd also argue the fact that liberals are "educated". The number of STEM graduates per year has basically stayed flat, liberal arts degrees account for almost all the new graduate gains over the last 30 years. The result is the massive elitism seen in liberals despite not really knowing anything of value. Hence the enlightened graduates with 50k+ in debt working minimum wage jobs. But at least they can stroke their ego about being superior to the plumber or electrician making 6 figures with no debt.

>An example is that they'd rather segregate the poor out than actually work towards building an educated society and uplift the unfortunate

SF spent 20 million last year on arresting homeless people and getting them out of the city. It's basically illegal to be homeless in SF, yet they are seen as the paragon of liberal values. Do as I say, not as I do.

Compared to a Github list, Programmable Web

- is ad ridden,

- tracks the bejeezus out of you,

- looks a bit sketchy in some places,

- has a lot of junk you have to wade through before getting to the interesting part,

- and of course is not community-driven the way a Github list is.

On the other hand, when they do have a summary - see e.g. some API I picked up at random[0] - it's significantly better and more useful than what is on the Github list.

4. should make distinction between the one primarily used for recreation and one also used for e.g. commuting. Majority of cars are used purely for transportation and are expendable. Therefore it is reasonable to introduce a shift to electric because it has a higher impact. Track day cars are driven less miles, though slightly higher emission per mile, with smaller impact in total. It is as wasteful as operating a roller coaster in a Disneyland.

Most people don't care about what car they drive. For them driving a Prius is just fine. For petroheads driving a Prius is NOT fine. It feels as if Mac enthusiasts are forced to live forever with Windows XP, or Emacs/Vim users forced to write code with Notepad, or a mechanical keyboard user forced to live with a cheap membrane keyboard. It brings a huge disappointment to their life. For most people switching to a dull car means nothing, since they have been driving a dull car, which is not the case for them.

By the way, the more serious track day cars, without audio/AC/insurator, are painful and impossible to drive daily, in my personal experience. Especially the summer. One day I was dehydrated and could not shift properly.

Well, in my country, there is this a "Freedom to roam" that guarantees me the ability to travel through private parcels (with some exemptions, i.e. you can walk through the middle of somebody's pasture, unless there are animals you could disturb). Same thing applies for forests (as long as I am not logging, or driving off-road).

If somebody would want to escort me from forest while I am foraging berries, or hiking or something, I would (according to our civil code, should) feel like my rights were infringed upon.

Based on this experience, I would like, if there is similar right given for things in cities that appear as public spaces, even if they are a privately owned parcels.

I understand that if you i.e. live in the US, this might see m weird, because the right of owner to restrict access to their land seems to be stronger there.
