I think dmenu is a good example of this. It's a common launcher application that's (at least) known to all i3 users. Here's a succinct explanation from the man page:

"dmenu is a dynamic menu for X, which reads a list of newline-separated items from stdin. When the user selects an item and presses Return, their choice is printed to stdout and dmenu terminates. Entering text will narrow the items to those matching the tokens in the input.

dmenu_run is a script used by dwm(1) which lists programs in the user's $PATH and runs the result in their $SHELL."

In practice you press Super + D, type a few letters to match the name of your program (such as "fox" for "firefox"), and press enter. It's so fast that any delay is near imperceptible even on older hardware. It also accepts command line arguments if you don't care to read the stdout from the process. This is a stupidly simple program that works with no configuration unless you want to change the font size.

I said AI wouldn't have the issues of human error, distracted and drunk driving. It opens up all new types of errors, sure, but it wouldn't have the biggest killers of people. So unless we screw up pretty badly here it almost has to be lower mortality rates.
Would a coke onion (84% water, 10% sugar, 5% fibre, [1% other stuff {caramel colouring, deactivated coca leaf extract, etc.}]) be a bad source of sucrose?

Pineapple is about 6% sucrose, red delicious Apples are about 2% sucrose (the rest being mostly fructose, and some glucose), bananas have more than 5% sucrose (As do mangoes, nectarines, and varieties of apple like pink lady).

You could get Verizon's connected home 4G service. It's $60 for 10GB. That would let you watch 3 movies on Netflix.
Base salary is low-six figures. I work at [insert deca-unicorn here] and a lot of that comp is locked inside non-public stock (I've been here a long time), so it could go to $0... or it could be enough to retire on. That's just the nominal risk-adjusted value of my compensation. Even assuming my stock is worth $0, just my base salary puts me ahead of going into medicine. The only way going into medicine makes financial sense over programming is if you fast track your way into it from high school and end up in a lucrative specialty, and even then it doesn't come that far ahead. Given the loss of your entire youth, I'd say it comes out even at best, unless medicine is a natural passion of yours.

How does anyone know if you have the legal right to use this? I guess you could litigate over it and have a judge rule that you own it? What I am trying to say is that the straight forward way to legal protection is to include lawyer fees in whatever you charge customers. You can either make your product more expensive or you can try make things work for a lot more people. I don't think you can do both (once again I would love to be proven wrong).

Why vouch for a post demonstrating such creepiness? And making a strange ad-hom. Nothing worth resurrecting as a HN post. I'm not even one who had flagged it.
Thanks so much. I will definitely try these out. It's a shame to have to resort to third party tools to have an acceptable experience for such a basic OS use case as finding and launching applications. I don't know what the hell they're doing over there at MSFT anymore, but they're missing several basic building blocks of a good OS.
I don't think there are any sites that come anywhere near Facebook's niche - other sites allow either insubstantial contact or larger public presence or hyper-local contact or etc. Obviously, social networking been defined by companies mostly not aiming to replace Facebook since Google's G+ debacle.

The chart you link to shows Facebook declining from ~30 mins of usage to ~20 mins. Snapchat increased from 3 to 4. So it's getting closer but it seems unlikely to catch-up.

If anything, all this seems more less engagement in social media. Maybe people somehow are doing more "in real life" or maybe people are just generally less engaged with each other.
It's serious, but it's only a proposal, very a recent (~10 days old) one at that, so there's no code yet.

Has anyone else noticed the shift in their use of Facebook? I'm starting to use it more and more for selling and buying things hyper local than craigslist. I've had so much better luck selling people who don't show up and try to haggle you down further with facebook than craigslist. It's become my one stop shop to offload junk I don't need, vs use it as a social network.
It follows the price, so as long as either Bitcoin increases in price or electricity decreases in cost, the amount of electricity consumed should increase. According to https://fork.lol/reward/blocks the average reward per block is at the moment around USD 100k, so Bitcoin miners should consume on average 100k USD of electricity every 10 minutes. Sadly, I expect the demand for Bitcoin (and consequently its price) to increase once the Lightning Network gets ready for use by average people.
In Atom (one of the first public releases), I had this plugin that used CSS animations to fade the cursor in and out. It took ~100% of one core to do this. That’s right, in order to fade a color between white and clear, in 2017...

I don’t use that plugin anymore. Electron is dope because it actually delivers on the “one UI across all OSes” but the number of abstractions and the performance hit for this is staggering. It’s not that it needs to be this bad — I don’t think that there’s some specific problem in the technologies, it’s that it /is/ bad in practice. But whatever, my home desktop has 8 cores, 32GB RAM, ~2GB/sec disk reads, and 100mbit internet, so it works with about the same responsiveness as a normal app under Win95 on the hardware of the day.

Most Welfare Dollars Don't Go Directly to Poor People (2016)
Using the same amount of energy as nearly 60,000 office buildings to perform ~300,000 transactions per day seems catastrophically bad. That's about 5 transactions per day per office-building-equivalent.

MasterCard, for example, averages something like 2400 transactions per second. That's around 600 times more than Bitcoin. I don't know how many office-building-equivalents MasterCard uses, but I doubt it's anything like the 60 million that would be implied by equivalent efficiency to Bitcoin.

The US banking system as a whole does something like 4 million transactions per second. Using half the energy that these banks use in order to do 3 transactions per second doesn't sound good at all. Even if your estimate for bank energy usage were 1000 times too low, it would still be ridiculous.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/health-expenditures.htm

The US spent 3.2 trillion on health care in 2015. 100 billion is 3.12%. It doesn't seem like that big of a problem. This article is just capital scapegoating labour as the source of the inefficiency and insane costs that is particular to the American Healthcare system. If you want an honest discussion, look to the heart of the issue, which is the fundamental incompatibility with effective healthcare and America's fetishism of libertarian market dynamics. I mean even in the Swiss healthcare system which maintains private insurance participation, family doctors on average earn CHF 198,000/USD 201,732.

This is just a hit piece by big Pharma trying to squeeze dollars out of labour and we in tech who went through 4 years of schooling to collect comfy salaries for a few hours a day of productive work, we in tech who love to bash H1B's and foreign grads for increasing our competition, and we in tech who seldom reckon with real human suffering, fear, and death in our line of work, are absolutely eating it up. I absolutely look forward to the time when the squeeze comes and companies pivot to blaming us as the reason for the high costs of goods or as the limiting factor stopping execs from achieving the revenue gains they promised investors.

One way to roll out the tech is to do a hybrid system. Instead of selling self-driving tech as a convenience, the tech could be used to backup human driving. If the car sees I missed a stop sign, it could stop.

The goal shouldn't be a self driving car better than humans, but a self driving car better than a human driven car with automated safeguards.

Talk and listen to Apple and ex-Apple people.
I don't know that it's a terrible resource, I actually think it has a nice layout and has the right type of information, it could just use more breadth.

It offers one specific method for each area which you can see on alot of blogs, etc. The approach in paricular (At least for electrical) is also pretty basic and rough.

For example - the electrical buildout basically just drills a hole in and epoxied into your roof. As opposed to something like a cable box w/ waterproof connectors.

I think it's a great start and would love to see more depth and also a few options like: "Want to power alot of stuff? 400w of panels and 2 deep cycle batteries" vs. "Just need to power a cell phone?" etc.

It seems this problem should be addressed by more energy-efficient Bitcoin mining rigs and changes to the Bitcoin system to improve efficiency over the next 1-2 years.

A related very recent announcement:
https://halongmining.com/

>Announcing the DragonMint miner series: The DragonMint 16T miner is the world’s most efficient Bitcoin miner, running faster and cooler than any competing miners. It’s the culmination of over 12 months research and development which has resulted in major advancements in mining technology including a brand new generation of ASIC mining chips. The DM8575 ASIC runs at a staggering 85GH per chip with power efficiency of around 0.075J/GH.
Current thinking is that the binding of the sugar to fibre in fruit and veg makes it better than raw sugar.
It's trivial that the value exceeds the price of the electricity. Unfortunately, electricity is often priced well below cost once you account for externalities like pollution.
Net neutrality isn't about paying more for consuming more. It is like needing to upgrade your water plan to make coffee as opposed to tea; unless you brew with starbucks or something.
It's certainly not a free market. Cities commonly provide exclusive franchise to specific companies. I've got Cox internet and access to Cox cable. AT&T provides phone service, but not any kind of internet access. My access options are Cox, mobile, or satellite. Mobile and satellite obviously have much smaller max transfers per month; they wouldn't cover my requirements for household internet.
Considering how the hype cycle proceeds, any switch to a git successor will probably be slow. I would expect a replacement that comes into existence now to need five years to make itself known in the market and another five years to gather a critical mass. The actual tipping point would probably be reached around 15 to 20 years from now. That is an awfully long time.
Two questions:

1) What is the license when one purchases this kit? I couldn’t find a link to it (for context there’s another nice UI toolkit that has been discussed on HN several times before, always with lots of complaints about how its horribly written and completely unprofessional “creative tim” license makes it unusable in any real commercial context, and I’m hoping this great looking Library doesn’t fall prey to the same failure mode)

2) Do you have Typescript typings for the classes defined in the Library?
Depends where you live, but if you're in the UK then check out REVL (https://revl.world).

This doesn't surprise me at all.

It took almost 40 years to prove that smoking causes lung cancer.

Similarly, despite unambiguous scientific evidence, it still seems acceptable to deny that man-made CO2 release into the atmosphere causes global warming.

Aren't bitcoin transactions dependent on miners continually mining in order to verify transactions? It sounds like bitcoin is relying on a perpetual profit margin for mining, in order to make transactions possible.

I’m well aware that it’s intended as a replacement for PoW, but I’m pointing out that they have very different security guarantees.

For example: imagine there's a vulnerability in the reference client. With PoS, a payload can compromise nodes and replace their chain with another (valid) chain, leaving everyone wondering which chain is the right one. With PoW, no attacker can alter the chain without invalidating its proof-of-work.

In short, Ford likely realized in the 1920s that with the usage of mass manufacturing / shifts, worker effort was more important than hours spent working, and could afford to make the change.

This eventually became codified in the US via the Fair Labor Standard Act of 1938 [1], which defined overtime as anything over 40 hours a week.

There's lots of unintended, expected, negative outcomes from regulation.

The counter culture is unregulated experimentation like https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3298919/ An impetus to circumvent these regulations, in the extreme case to save lives (or just to be deviant). Regulation is like a wet blanket that can mold, but is effective at putting out a fire in a pinch, if it's big enough. Regulatory bodies never seem to have a path-to-dissolution process (the core of my problem with regulation) and are largely implemented in such a manner that they grow, self-perpetuate, morph and fester corruption for countless generations (e.g. FDA vs smoking tobacco).

Admittedly, I'm biased by my beliefs. Despite being heavily regulated, I think much of the cancer epidemic is caused by auto and oil/fuel, with some contribution by Monsanto Roundup-like products. The independent studies, in these heavily regulated industries, are consistently squelched, influenced, or made unavailable (trade secrets!).

Regulation is not a silver bullet.
My experience (I am not the OP) is that the facebook leavers are abandoning social media platforms altogether rather than simply moving to a different one.

Eh, I’m having a hard time mentally walking through how this would work. Because it would seem to me that his mind is going to be made up at this point, and we need to persuade those that think he’s right (and maybe “he’s a shill” can do that, dunno).

But that doesn’t mean I can’t upvote a reasonable POV with which I just happen to disagree.
> It seems this problem should be addressed by more energy-efficient Bitcoin mining rigs and changes to the Bitcoin system to improve efficiency over the next 1-2 years.

Not really. The miners calculate their costs versus their gains. If a new rig consumes half of the electricity, they will just buy a second one. If they don't their competitor does.

> Obviously both parties are going to fight at all levels but in recent history GOP controls far more of state governments than Democrats so they strategically favor states rights.

No, they tactically see success on certain issues operating at the state level; they don't, strategically or otherwise support states rights (that is, any consistent protected domains where states are free to act as they will without federal interference.)

They do like, since the adoption of the Southern Strategy, to use the phrase “States Rights”, but that's a 150+-year-old American political code for “we support and demand systematic oppression of blacks”, not a position on the relative distribution of power between the federal and state government.

The Unity search menu was really frustrating. It had confusing category buttons, and if you did a search that only had results in a specific category, it would inexplicably turn on that category filter and use it for future searches too until you cleared the textbox. I loved pretty much everything about Unity except for that baffling bit. I'm almost glad they're killing Unity just so it means people aren't subjected to that wacky design decision or bug.
