I've not played The 7th Continent, but from the description, it sounds rather similar in style to the video game Sunless Sea (and the currently-in-beta sequel, Sunless Skies) - exploration-driven, deeply unforgiving survival and resource management, although 7th Continent sounds more art focused as opposed to Sunless Sea's writing-centric approach.

If 7th Continent is anywhere near as enjoyable, I may have to give it a try - if it manages to recapture the feelings from first time you happen across the deadly elysium of Aestival, or the creeping dread as your crippled ship burns through your last barrel of fuel in the deep Eastern Unterzee, it will be well worth the $80.
Yea, especially given much of the purpose of his flight was to examine the effects of that long in space. I have trouble believing that NASA didn't, if nothing else, give him a phone # to call right away if he had any unexpected symptoms. The whole "should I go to the emergency room" thing kinda seems like a narrative added after the fact to add excitement to his article/book.

(not that I doubt the episode was scary, but I do doubt the fact that NASA would've left any uncertainty about what to do in such a situation)
I'm aware a lot of people have this problem, but here in a rural area we are paying for 6 Mbps DSL and usually get 6.25 to 6.5.
BTC can do about 7 (small) transactions per second (more with SegWit), and BCC then presumably around 50 per second.

(By comparison, Visa does close to 2000 transactions per second on average, and can handle 20000 peak.)
With tabletop games kickstarter is effectively an outsourced preorder system. The game is finished but they can judge how large this print run needs to be and collect money for it early, you are basically guaranteed a product. This assumes your reason for avoiding kickstarter is that you'll get scammed or not receive a product do to incompetence (which has happened to me with videogames and hardware products). Otherwise its likely you'll have to wait until late 2018 or early 2019 to buy this game or try to find a copy of the first run of the base game somewhere.

What about commands which only take a single file as input? Is xargs -n1 noticeably faster than -exec? (And if it is, is that actually worth it for clarity's sake?)
Thank you!

I had the same feeling with boilerplates, so I tried my best to learn the tools properly. Digging through documentation took me a lot of time, so I tried my best to summarize it in a simpler way. It should get people up to speed and give them a solid ground for learning more.

Let me know if there is room for improvement of the tutorial. I plan to post more posts in the same series soon.

Bloat is hard to avoid on boilerplates (I wrote one that is quite popular so I know how it goes https://github.com/workco/marvin). If you want to make useful boilerplate, it gets opinionated really fast. I hope that is something we'll solve with the next version of Marvin.

Btw I posted it yesterday, and it already gained a lot of traction (based on the analytics). Not sure why it didn't get more attention on HN though.
I mean that's what Scott claims I guess that it was always his intention but it really seems like a pointless twist thrown in for the directors cut. The whole point of the film is Deckard (a human) learns the humanity inside the machines, not Deckard learns he's one of them which is a far less moving story. It's supposed to be ambiguous at points like in the book to emphasize the question of what makes a human but ultimately he should be human. Given the 2nd film's explanation for how he's a replicant is seriously contrived I have to say it seems like a retcon to me.

In any case given there are multiple cuts of the film, I'll choose the Final cut minus the Unicorn dream as my ultimate version of the film.
The ability to tradeoff productivity for more control over the program is valuable in certain situations. The only problem I see with programming directly in assembly is that it's not compatible with different architectures. Perhaps someone should make a proper highlevel assembler similar to LLVM IR but with a stable instruction set that runs on several architectures.
Speedtest.net is a horrible way to test your internet speeds. The isps intentionally prioritize traffic to them because it makes them look good, and speedtest doesn't offer any actual services that could create legitimate traffic. At the very least use fast.com, which is run by Netflix and will show you what kind of performance you'll get to a real site. Ideally you'd test against multiple sources though, especially now that Netflix has started giving ransom money to some of the larger residential isps.
From the terms:

FormAPI is not PCI DSS Certified or HIPAA compliant.

You understand that the technical processing and transmission of the Service, including your Content, may be transferred unencrypted and involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.

Unfortunately, this is a service that sees the data being entered on the form. If it processed a blank PDF form and sent back something you ran locally to generate a filled-in form, that would be great. But as a service, it sees too much user data.

Australia is appalling for this, the average person paying for 24Mbit ADSL2+ gets a messily 7Mbit (and I thought 24Mbit was bad enough!).
Only a business must do KYC.

KYC is regulated by FinCEN. FinCEN requires every “Money Services Business” to register with them and do KYC.

If maintaining a supernode is so costly that only businesses will do so, to make a profit, then supernodes might require KYC. If supernodes run non-profit, they don’t need to.
This should really be at the top!

> On the other hand outside of OS and embedded systems people very few people regularly look at assembler

Make that OS, embedded systems, and standard platform runtime libraries. The people implementing the algorithms in your programming-language-of-choice's stdlib certainly know what those algorithms are compiling down to. And they're the vast majority of the people who write out algorithm implementations at all, any more.
Since 2005, hosting has gotten much cheaper, and techniques for storing extremely large amounts of data have gotten much more efficient. But as far as I know, MediaWiki is no better positioned to begin taking advantage of those facts. It's still a PHP app accompanied by a huge, vertically scaling MySQL. There's no telling what might work better for Wikipedia, but there's plenty of avenues for experimentation. Maybe revision history could be more effectively stored in Amazon S3-like storage, instead of MySQL. Maybe not, but there's many such possible optimizations I doubt have ever seriously been considered.

It's part of git, but is not a git object, those have a very specific definition: it's all the thing that are identified by their hash.

Note that the commit history doesn't depend on branches: it's just a chain from commit to commits. The tree can exist withou any branch at all. That wouldn't be very useful, but it's still valid. Branches are merely pointers to a commit.
The parents are I think talking past each other somewhat, because there are really three kinds of Internet service and you're talking about two of them as if they're the same thing:

1. Consumer/Residential: speed is "up to", throughput is highly asymmetrical, QoS is best effort, reliability is "mostly works", if you are lucky you will get a human if you call for support. If you complain about service typically the response is a shrug. Generally the service is whatever the provider defines it to be and you either buy it or you don't. Often static IP is not available. Cost: $20-100/mo.

2. Business: Sold by the same providers as #1. Much the same service, except (this varies) : dedicated channels on HFC, different traffic shaping, static IP allowed, perhaps even subnets, if you are really lucky reverse DNS is supported. Generally you get a human when you call support. If you complain about service they might do some basic investigation. In the case of our cableco they have different humans knocking on your door for install and trouble shooting (perhaps the more knowledgeable and more senior folks?). Cost: $50-200/mo

ISP upstream/Dedicated/Real Connectivity: The name varies but this what one of the parent posts calls "Business". The service an ISP would get, or a big tech company, etc. You typically get an SLA with specified maximum packet loss rates and latency profile. Throughput is symmetric. Local loop is typically fiber. You can run your own BGP, HSPR etc is supported. IPv6 is always available. You can call the provider's NOC directly and have a conversation about why they're dropping packets in one direction to some obscure peer somewhere in the world. They'll investigate and resolve the problem asap. If you accidentally power off your edge router one of their NOC staff will call your call phone within minutes asking why there's no traffic on your link. Cost: $1000/mo+

Source: I ran an ISP for 10 years.

Giving ~precise and practical example can be suprisingly hard when you are working with some very different kind of thinking for a long time. At the end idea should be used in real world of course but it can take a lot of time to recreate lot of solutions which are resolved in mainstream but "reopened" in your world.

I think this article is quite clearly just reprsenting idea for people working with functional side and maybe thinking something similiar already. So if you "cannot get it" and author cannot give ~easy answer don't judge yourself or the idea/author too much but accept that idea can be still very early phase and work-in-progress.
Since Wikipedia doesn't derive any income from direct traffic, it is actually a good thing for Google and others to host copies of the data, so long as they comply with the Creative Commons licensing requirements. This reduces the cost for Wikipedia to spread knowledge.

> The fact that Rust is used is uninteresting, considering there's nothing special about it as it pertains to the other advertised features.

Considering the fact that a programming language's appeal is directly influenced by the size and accomplishments of its community, I'd say it's relevant.

A high level, systems programming, relative new language is used to write software that outperforms the default tools. That's proof that the language has potential and encourages people to try it out. It's how languages and communities grow. If you think it's uninteresting, that's your subjective opinion, and you're free to dismiss it. It certainly doesn't make the language, the project or the title "bullshit" or "trivia relevant only to [...] language flamewars".
Sane and safe defaults matter in programming. MySQL has failed at this since its inception.
There is latency involved in both production and detection to contend with.

NYC to Tokyo would require an unprecedented beamline angled deep down into the earth as well as a much more powerful proton driver to produce enough neutrinos to compensate for the 1/r^2 loss of flux.

And, then there is the neutrino oscillation resonance due to the high matter density as the neutrinos pass near the Earth's core just to mix things up.

The price tag for DUNE is a couple billion USD for a relatively "short" baseline of 1300 km and 40kton far detector.

This article gets it completely wrong. Bitcoin can handle much more than 20M users without layer 2 services. Layer 2 services are a solution looking for a problem that doesn't exist.
At least for bitcoin, software-based mining doesn't compete with ASICs, so doing more mining on clients is a net loss in terms of overall energy efficiency.
I guess there are different ways to read it. You could say the same of anything you don't like that grows at a superlinear rate. Given our tendency to not like things, and the tendency of things to grow at a superlinear rate, the analogy is non-specific, and hardly neat.

For me, it echoes the tendency of every angry child on the internet to call things they don't like "cancer." Edginess of this kind does not speak to me.
Interesting but incomplete paper, apparently cited in from Redit although located on github.

So does the multi-model database ArangoDB. https://docs.arangodb.com/3.2/AQL/Examples/Join.html

And some NoSQL databases speak SQL as well - without being relational.

I like the JSON support in PostgreSQL a lot. Very easy to deal with unstructured JSON data while still using common attributes in a relational format. But there are more cases that one might think about - as a relational guy - that benefit from graph databases, document stores or optimized time-series databases.

Both rollup and webpack are solving the same problem. I just played with rollup a little, so I don't have production level experience with it. However, I did a lot of reading and it seems that general opinion can be summed to:

Use webpack for apps, and Rollup for libraries

As I already had quite a lot of experience with webpack, I've decided to stick to it. Friend of mine likes to say - "the best technology is the one you know best".

But I would be interested to hear experiences from the people using rollup on their projects.

Show HN: A blockchain for content creators and consumers
There's a strong sentiment that anything anti-mars-enthusiasm hurts humanity more than helps. There's absolutely nothing to support this idea, other than some misplaced notion of hope in the face of nihilism of our terrestrial problems. In proper pragmatic context, if we can't colonize the moon, sending people to Mars is a massive waste and overly dangerous. Nobody wants to admit to that, because movie fantasy has somehow reinforced this mystical goal in some form of misplaced nationalist sentiment about America-fuck-yeah (as far as I can tell).
If the topic is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article, anyone is free to go ahead and improve the article.

The Wikimedia Foundation doesn't write articles or decide what topics to include; the Wikipedia community does that, at no cost to the Wikimedia Foundation. Anyone who wants to contribute can join the community at any time.

Also keep in mind that Wikipedia does not allow original research, so if a topic doesn't have much reliable third party coverage, then the article wouldn't be able to include a lot of details.

To add to your excellent point; it takes 10-20 years to fully train a human from useless baby to fully functional. And that time is filled with days of continuous exposure to data.

Mildly related - can we talk about the idiomatic way of focusing components with HoCs? I feel like I haven’t read anything about a settled convention - I know I could pass a focus prop and check to see if it’s changed in order to focus a child component, but it seems a bit heavy handed when I know I just want to focus the child of an HoC. _Some_ 3rd party HoCs I’ve used expose something like an “instance()” method that lets me access the child component via a ref, but of course some HoCs don’t.

Nope. Manual cone handling is incredibly dangerous. At best, someone has to hang out of the side of a vehicle; at worst, they're walking unprotected next to a live lane. This work is often carried out after dark and in poor weather conditions.

In a layer 2 or lightning network, there may be hubs operated by e.g. Coinbase that handle millions of users, but the hub will need an open payment channel with each of those users in order to minimize the required trust. That means that the scaling bottleneck described in the top post is still an issue.

It's useful to draw a distinction between decentralization of network topology and decentralization of power (the ability to decide who has how much money). If Coinbase runs a lightning network hub with millions of users, the network topology is centralized, but if the system has been designed correctly, Coinbase
cannot steal any of the lightning network funds (power is decentralized). They could require KYC and would be able to temporarily block a user's transactions. But if people aren't happy with how a hub is behaving, they can just stop using it, and switch over to a different one.

It's possible to hand complete custody of your coins over to a third party, and let them manage transactions internally. This scales really well, but then it's not really a lightning network anymore (power is centralized; they or people who hack them can run off with everyone's money).

Ethereum (not Bitcoin) has plans to scale their base chain via improvements from proof of stake, and eventually via sharding the base chain. Block size increases factor in as well. These improvements can each multiply with the large factor provided by lightning-network-like things (Ethereum's equivalent is http://raiden.network/). Much of this is still undergoing active research, so it's not all a given. I haven't estimated the numbers, but this all eventually could take us quite a bit beyond 20m users.
We just export all this pollution to China. Instead of a good unionized manufacturing job with a pension paying $25/hr, the average American now scrapes by makes minimum wage working odd hours at a Starbucks with no benefits. We need massive tariffs on dirty Chinese imports so clean Made in America products can compete. Otherwise we're just subsidizing the destruction of the environment in third world countries and making income inequality in the US worse by making working class Americans poorer.
I don't like X, and it is growing = cancer, is the full depth of the analogy. Pretty weak. Unlike cancer, we wouldn't want to eliminate 100% of expenses. Unlike cancer, expenses are necessary for survival. Unlike cancer, it's possible expenses should be growing faster, to fuel growth or whatever - this is the argument that needs to be made. Calling something cancer this loosely, is very close to the annoyance of invoking Hitler so quickly.

I don't know what edge-cases you are trying, but AMDGPU is working fine for most of us, and quickly improving over time.

Don't forget that AMDGPU is only two years old. It's steadily improving, and I have no doubt that within 5 years it will be at least on par with NVIDIA's driver.

> In contrast, NVIDIAs proprietary driver always simply works.

What about Wayland? KMS?

NVIDIA's driver works for the use cases they made it work for. You simply work inside those use cases, so you don't see the rough edges. Their driver team is quite good, which they have to be to swim upstream like they are. As long as they work against Linux instead of with it, open-source drivers like AMDGPU will always have an inherent advantage. In contrast, NVIDIAs proprietary driver always simply works.
