Recently I opened a subreddit for a little known Korean mobile developer, just as a fan, and I was surprised that you get zero control over the HTML.

At first I was a bit annoyed and confused but then I actually liked it, the more I had to get creative with CSS because although you can reinterpret a subreddit in 1000 different ways, they all "feel" the same.

I mean, I basically just gave an elevator pitch for CSS but I suppose my point is that Reddit works well as it is. You might have to do a bit of thinking outside the box but some nice designs are possible.

If you need anything more than that, chances are your design is a bit too over the top and should be simplified.

Crypto currencies would absolutely use zero electricity if they could too.

There are efforts RIGHT NOW to solve this problem. So just like how BOA wastes electricity right now, and is trying to reduce its electricity use, so too are cryptocurrencies.

For example, one way to do it is to power the blockchain via "wasted" electricity from other sources, that was going to do nothing anyway. For example, a heater literally sends electricity through wires, and "wastes" that energy to create heat. One could imagine a heater that uses the electricity/heat from mining for "free".

Or even at a more basic level, imagine a electric dam, that produces so much power during certain times in the day, that it has to sell it for negative prices on the market. Thats Free energy right there!

Another example is Proof of Space algorithms. The way it works is instead of using GPU heavy hashing algorithms, you use "Space" intensive hashing algorithms.

The reason why you do this is because there is a TON of extra hard disk space that is just lying around doing nothing. We could take that extra space for "free" and use it to secure a blockchain (while allowing the user to reclaim the space at any time with no effort), and it would cost very little electricity.
If the costs outweight the benefits for the Chinese government, then they won't allow it.

Same goes for the US. I highly doubt the US would want to give up anything to China or compromise anything they already have so that China would open up their cinemas, its definitely a realpolitik way of looking at it, but its usually how things go.

I'll look up this carry propagation business, but again, this looks like a mundane correctness issue (with possibly tragic consequences), though it is hard to assess without looking at intermediate results (I have).

Also, didn't the carry propagation bug reports come with failing tests vectors? Or are they hard to find even if one knows of the bug?

> the only thing I care about is the idea that if you pass test vectors and Valgrind is OK with your binary, you're probably OK. No!

Definitely agree. Even test vectors + safe Rust aren't enough. Which is why I added random comparison tests with libsodium (for every possible length input between 0 and a couple times the size of the block), and property based tests.

I'm still a bit uneasy about carry propagation in Poly1305, but I really checked the hell out of my code.

Right, but once people do that, mining becomes more efficient. If mining becomes more efficient, more people start mining, then the difficulty adjusts, and then you're back at the beginning.

It's not a bad thing: efficiency gains are good. But they don't reduce the total energy expenditure, because they incentivise increased mining.

It should be relatively easy to set up with git hooks:

Take one of the many Git Hooked Autoformaters:
For example: https://github.com/michalrus/git-hooks-code-autoformat

Then add similar hooks for pulling on "post-merge" and "post-rewrite". There is no hook for "pull" per se, but either a merge or commit rewrite (rebase) happens after pull that changes code. So you should be good with those both hooks

Those are properties of using cryptocurrency for payment, they're not properties of putting car charging on a blockchain.

No, mining does not become more efficient. It make it unprofitable for people to mine bitcoin, because they are competing with people who are using free electricity.

The only people who would be mining are the ones who are spending 0$ on electricity, because the electricity would otherwise be wasted.

By heater, I meant literally a heater in someone's house.

The idea is that the only electricity that would be spent on the blockchain is electricity that was going to be sent down the drain anyway.
Agreed, which is why I never been a big fan of Web 2.0 wave.

> it always feels like a large portion of people who do web dev don't 'get' the web

My history is surprisingly similar to yours, I started in 1999, I used Notepad as my first text editor, and by 2003 I got caught up in the movement towards making markup strict, which I felt was the mark of professionalism. However, by 2006 I had mostly rejected the notion of "strictness". There were several things that turned me against strictness. One of them was Mark Pilgrim's essay "XML on the Web Has Failed":

https://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/07/21/dive.html

Another problem was brought up by Sam Ruby: his daughter sent him an image, which he wanted to share on MySpace, but he couldn't. And the reason he couldn't was because the image was in a SVG format which required strict XML, and MySpace was, of course, very far from anything "strict".

Some people looked at the chaos of non-standard HTML and decided the Web was successful because it had been broken from the beginning, and it had learned to work well while broken. I reached a different conclusion. It became clear to me that what developers wanted to do simply had nothing to do with HTTP/HTML.

We don't yet have the technology to do what developers want to do. HTML was an interesting experiment, but it suffered from a dual mandate. Sir Tim Berners Lee wanted HTML to both structure data and also present it in graphical form. Almost from the start, developers were conflicted about which mandate they should obey, but the preference, since at least 1993, if not earlier, was to give priority to the visual. For all practical purposes, developers saw HTTP/HTML as GUI for IP/TCP. Previous IP/TCP technologies (email, gopher, ftp) had lacked a visual component, but HTML finally offered a standard way to send things over Internet and format the end result visually (emphasis on "standard"; I could insert an aside here about X window systems and some cool software of that era, but every app implemented their own ideas about visual presentation. X-Emacs, for instance, had its own system for visual formatting over a network).

That we now have so many versions of languages that compile back to Javascript, which renders HTML, shows that there is a great hunger for something that moves beyond HTTP/HTML.

The quote that Mark Pilgrim used at the beginning of his article is worth repeating:

"There must have been a moment, at the beginning, where we could have said ... no. Somehow we missed it. Well, we'll know better next time."
"Until then ..."
-- Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

He may have meant that ironically (since Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are murdered) but I like to think that we will eventually get rid of HTTP/HTML and replace it with what developers actually want: a pure GUI for IP/TCP, a technology with a single mandate, with no burden of also offering semantics or structure or hierarchy.

I've always thought of it this way:

Over millions and millions of years of evolution, many mammals (including us) adapted our vision centers to quickly process large chunks of environmental information by developing a series of beneficial hard-wired processing networks in the visual cortex. These neural pathways allow us to do things like subconsciously notice small movement or even judge distances fairly accurately without parallax. Most of the time it works pretty well; I mean, it kept us as a species alive up to today. However, illusions like this "exploit" the "visual hacks" our brain uses (that allow us to process such large amounts of visual data so quickly) by creating objects that don't (or can't) exist in nature. Our brains are fairly picky about things like depth-of-field and textural shading and oftentimes their limits can be demonstrated by simply playing with a few colors and changing a few angles.

That stackoverflow answer is wrong - or at least, only applies to MySQL. The author is apparently unaware of other databases.

If you put Postgres in repeatable read or serializable[1] mode, it manages optimistic concurrency for you. Collisions will produce an error in the second transaction attempting to commit. The only "trick" is that your client code should be prepared to retry transactions that have concurrency failures, and this is very easily abstracted by a library. Your SQL or ORM code does not change (I use Hibernate, fwiw).

That was posted after this post, yet received 500+ points. I really find this phenomenon weird.
Where i grew up i knew someone who built a safari roof over their house. (the name comes from the vented double top that was an option on land rovers) They stuck whirlybird vents at the apex with a controllable iris. Adjustable Louvres with seals were placed around the edges of the second roof.

These allowed the venting air to be shut off in winter and opened in summer. giving you great insulation or ventilation. Combined with the many other things they did (vines in front of walls for summer heat blockages, A well populated garden of low water plants, good insulation everywhere, a white painted roof and double glazed windows) meant that for most of the year no active cooling or heating was required.

And this was a place that commonly sees winters with lows of -10 and summers with periods of +35 as the nightly low (daily maxes are +40 for 2 to 3 weeks at a time (Air drying clothes in summer generally took less time than hanging them out. :| ))
