ive always based success on quality of life. For example, I once took the RHCE and failed by just four points. Looking at the cost of the exam at around $400, I decided to forego a retake as a hundred dollars per point seemed silly. What did it mean to me, and my definition of success, to be able to regurgitate old Apache ACL's on command? Not much, seeing as Nginx is of a higher priority to me.

In the end I relegated the experience to that of a rat race. Being told you've failed the RHCE hurts but in no way does it mean you should settle with never achieving your dreams. Sometimes you've got to understand who sets the terms and definitions, and make adjustments as necessary. Letting others decide the objectives of success is tacitly hoping their outcomes and objectives for that often very personal success are as altruistic and self serving as yours. At some point, everything from Body Spray to luxury sedans set this bar in a predatory manner. Theres no reason to think the Olympics and private corporations in general wont at some point do this as well.
That is great, I found Thunderbolt the best solution for using notebooks at home and work (multiple monitors, USB ports). I only hope in the future you can connect external GPUs in some way. I have tried via PCIe with an external board but it is not the best solution (performance, unsupported), it is just a hack.
From the TB3 enabler GitHub:

"For unknown reasons, Apple decided to block the support for some categories of Thunderbolt 3 peripherals under macOS and when you connect those Thunderbolt 3 peripheral, you simply get an "Unsupported" message under Thunderbolt Device Tree. After digging around, it turns out the block is implemented in software level and it is possible to bypass the block by patching the related kext. This patch modifies IOThunderboltFamily and allows "Unsupported" Thunderbolt 3 peripherals to work under macOS Sierra."

I wonder why they did that. Stability, probably?
No it doesn't. Mainly because it is not finished and so it is non-operational.
And you’ll see stepping-stone type things scattered around the sidewalks to help people walk over flooded areas as well as doors to homes and businesses sealed at the bottom to allow for about 1 meter of flooding without causing any interior damage. Then there are sandbags scattered about to help with flood protection when necessary.

Venice has been fine for hundreds of years; it isn’t all the sudden going to fail.. it just adapts and moves on. By far the biggest danger to Venice is the hoards of tourists that make getting around for a local almost impossible. When I was there in November (to take a Venician Plastet/Marmolino class) — even in the cold rain it was essentially a mob of people seemingly everywhere except the most back streets of back streets. That “hidden Venice” is quite amazing — I am definitely over the crowds and kitsch that pollute the maIn drags. Pro-tip if you want to have a nice visit: explore the streets and canals at night.
Hey, five filters contributors: I’m a big fan of you work. How hard would it be to make a web proxy type service that produced static html with working links instead of a PDF?

The idea is to strip out all of the JavaScript before it even hits the client. People could then use it exclusively for news reading. I suspect it would reduce bandwidth and client side energy as well as block essentially all web trackers.

I ask because it looks like you’ve done most of the heavy lifting between this and your full-text RSS feed service.

Thanks!

Several of these remind me of James Nicoll's old quote from Usenet:

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."
Many buildings in Venice are hundreds of years old. If the cycle involves replacing, say, 1% of buildings every 5 years then that isn't necessarily in conflict. Most of the buildings would be hundreds of years old, but after 50 years of an effective moratorium, 10% would need to be replaced despite the fact that most buildings are hundreds of years old and don't need to be replaced.

That's a little different from saying the entire city needs to be rebuilt, but it will eventually.
>Like what kind of transactions/operations need to happen between nodes for two channels to get rebalanced?

So "rebalancing" is kind of a word for a side-effect of normal routing.

It's all based on fees. So if you have a channel with "the network" (either through 1 or more channels to a big hub, or some other way), and I have a single channel with you, then another channel with "the network".

Our channel started off with .5 BTC from each of us. Then I paid you .4 BTC so the channels are:

You: .9 BTC, Me: .1 BTC.

Nodes broadcast fees, so you would broadcast that for me to send money from me to you (either directly, or through a "hop"), it will cost 20 satoshis. But you can also broadcast that for someone to send money the opposite direction (from you to me), it's free right now. Someone that wanted to pay a 3rd party unrelated to us would try to find a route that went from you to me then to the rest of the network.

So really "rebalancing" is just incentivizing someone else to rebalance your channel by exploiting their selfishness and want of low transaction fees and to include you as part of a hop. Fees can even go negative, which would make it super beneficial for someone else to include your channel in their transaction (even if it's out of the way, or doesn't serve any real purpose) to get a bit of money from it!

Who actually broadcasts the fees can be found by looking through popular node software (each node only broadcasts one direction of the channel, and I don't remember which it is right now), as well as the broadcast system (which I genuinely don't know off the top of my head).

>Aren't timelocks enforced on chain? How can we agree to extend our timelock without committing that agreement to the blockchain?

Yes and no. They are "enforced" on chain in the sense that they can't be accepted into a block until a specific block number. But they aren't ever broadcast to anyone else until you are ready to use them. In essence all LN transactions are created, but kept secret until ready to be used. The whole concept of LN relies on the fact that if we make a transaction but never broadcast it, did it really happen? If you and me agree to make a new transaction saying "this expires in 3 days from right now", technically the original transaction is now valid once 3 days pass from it, but if you try to broadcast the tx that forces all the money to you, I can broadcast the transaction that proves that we did something else after that (our second "update the locktime"), and then gives all the money to me.

Every time we do something to transact, we also create a set of transactions that serve as proof that the old transactions are in fact "old" and shouldn't be accepted, and if anyone tries to broadcast them, we can invalidate them (and enforce a "penalty" to dissuade anyone from trying to cheat).

Services cost money to run. Clearly this service delivered value to you and your group. You could have just asked everyone to donate $0.25+ at each meetup to keep it going. $15 is very reasonable, especially because IoT has many business/professional facets to it, so the group could be augmenting people's careers.

"None of those are direct sells to business users. These need to be updated to highlight meetups that appeal to business users with call to actions like:

One my of biggest complaints of Meetup (which are many), is that many (social) Meetups nowadays are basically advertisements. It is not about building a community, it is about having a meetup to advertise their services. The huge monthly fee is part of the reason. This article basically wants Meetup to move more into that direction, which I would not be surprised if it did.

There is also an increase of tech meetups whose organizers is not a technical person, but a sales person. These meetups also tend to use eventbrite instead of the meetup RSVP interface so that they can harvest emails and sales leads.
Two recent talks about the project:

> You can also take money out of LN at any time (assuming your counterparty I cooperative)

This isn’t what people mean when they imply liquidity. Needing consent and being able to unilaterally demand cash are different domains. The former is e.g. a holding in a fund or coins in a LN, the latter is a consumer checking account.

To me it seems like reading this makes one believe that the blood and blue parts of the "super blue blood moon" had some minor relevancy in all of this and made the water levels slightly lower than usual.

To clarify, the eclipse part has nothing to do with tides. The "red" part couldn't even be seen from Italy from what I could find. The "blue" part is totally arbitrary as well (two full moons in one calendar month).

So, a super moon affected this, the blue and blood parts are more of a coincidence... I think. Took 15 min to search for all of this to confirm my initial suspicion, but my search results were filled with the event from a couple of days ago, so I could be wrong.
It's also hard because "Remote first" companies make it look easier because they're designed for it.

You look at the statistics and basically you're largely already born wealthy or you are in poverty especially in California. If you look at social mobility in California it's almost as bad as medieval Europe. The system that enabled hard work to be rewarded is gone. The creative professions that used to be a vehicle for persona wealth are gone. We are living in an era of corporate feudalism where you're either born on top or born to fail but the only question that is relevant today is "who's your daddy?"
"Most farms lands are owned by a few families and the remaining people just slave around on that".

I wonder how you came to this conclusion. In fact, farming in India is very fragmented. Lot of farmers or people in rural areas own very small parcels of land and work on them. Yes, there are people or families which own large pieces of agricultural land, but not in the numbers that you seem to imply.

Also, lack of manpower for working on farms is a very real problem in India. Farming jobs still exist at a big scale in India because we don't have mechanization like western countries(Again because of fragmentation of farms). People are not willing to "slave around" in farms anymore because they get subsidies from government i.e. food at very low cost for people below BPL. And it is very easy to get a BPL card if you live in rural area. This comes from someone(me) who has worked and been around farms and is still involved in farming though not directly on a day to day basis.
I originally thought blocking access could be due to a licensing thing, given that Apple and Intel collaborated on it [0]. However I found [1] stating that the licensing fees and royalties were waved in order to ensure larger market adoption.

True. I find this is easier as part of a longer term relationship. There is a gamble, and trust is involved. The one recourse is if they violate your trust, you can leave.

Nothing new when it comes to Meetup. They did another major redesign several years ago, and organizers were furious. They encouraged organizers to file tickets in their ticketing system and vote on the ones they want. The top five tickets were all marked as "Will not do" by Meetup.

I gave up being an organizer. Facebook does not work for tech groups. LinkedIn is supposedly bringing back Groups. Skeptical, but anything should be better than Meetup.
You are of course right, but usually it’s a very weak “want” that doesn’t translate into a process of methodologically driving towards those goals and paying the price they exact.

Yea, society is obsessed with the glorification that you get rich quick and achieve success on your first try. Everyone doesn't even talk about how many things they tried to be successful. Or when they were lucky and things just worked out.

On the other hand the playing field is not even at all and the luck of being born in a place that is beneficial or to people that have benefits that others don't have is not to be discounted either.

True, but those are bad things to want:

Status -- those to whom we accord the highest status seem to be people who genuinely don't care about status;
Money -- companies which aim only for profit become incapable of change. Presumably something similar applies to individual fat cats;
Stability -- societies which aim for stability get wiped out by the next invasion or natural disaster.

...which is perhaps why most people don't work so hard! So what are good things to want?

> I feel that if you make the best choice you can given the information you have, you've nothing to regret.

You did miss something. Trying to be a gymnast wasn't her choice, her mom made that choice for her when she was 3 years old. This is the story of a failure to be elite in the sports world, and coming to terms with a dream that was externally foisted onto her at a formative age that didn't get realized.

I don't think this situation applies to the scenarios most HN readers deal with. Your advice is a lot better for this crowd.
You can avoid 1 if you do no multithreading, or if you accept a slower implementation of Arc.

Embedded code in Rust almost always avoids 1, 2, 3, and 4. Arc is used for freeing dynamically allocated memory when all references, including across threads, are dropped, but if you're running without dynamic memory allocation, you don't need that. Trait objects also require allocation. Embedded targets also generally don't implement stack unwinding, and stack unwinding can be disabled on other targets as well; it's really only most useful in larger applications in which you want some threads to be able to continue running even if another thread panics. Automatic destruction can be fairly easily avoided if you're running without an allocator, as it is mostly used for freeing such allocated memory, as well as a few things like file handles and the like.

The things covered in 5 might be harder to avoid, but also more likely to be amenable to being covered by further versions of the RustBelt work.

So yes, using a subset of Rust without these features is quite feasible, and often done when working in embedded (aka no_std) code.

I don't know SPARK Ada that well, but I believe it has similar constraints of no dynamic allocation. If you can do without dynamic allocation in Rust, many of the problematic features wouldn't be used.
> I don't think that there are any theoretical concerns about the ability to write a correct borrow checker, just practical issues with the current implementation not correctly handling certain cases.

Is it really that trivial? When looking through https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/librustc_b..., it is not at all clear that these rules cover everything to me. There are some complex side conditions, isn't it easy to miss something there?

These problems existed for centuries but apparently something kept Venice from failing. I suspect it's not about engineering or construction, but it's about money. As long as Venice has a sufficient influx of money it will do well. A significant drop in tourist revenue is way more dangerous to the city than erosion or flooding.
Most of that seems forgivable but this screams lawsuit: Munro also chides the Model 3's lack of a mechanical door handle in the rear. Up front, there’s a little lever in addition to the electric door-opening switch, but in the rear there’s not. In the case of an emergency that cuts the car’s power, Munro says, you’d have to fold the seats back and exit through the trunk. (Obviously, you could go through the front seats as well).

Someone is going to die because of this.

The idea is that everything would run through a normalizing presentation layer (like the PDF converter and RSS full text services do), and only the information needed for rendering would be sent to the client, so <img> would be rewritten to some other url and served by the proxy.

The main problem I see is that you can embed trackers in the link URLs.

(You probably want the proxy to be a stateless cache shared by many users, which prevents tracker stuff from persisting in whatever rendering engine it uses for the conversion)
Perhaps a Gaussian distribution of weights?
The term "carbon neutral" refers to the amount of carbon active in the ecosystem. It excludes sequestered carbon in underground deposits (coal, oil).

If the term "carbon neutral" referred to all carbon on earth, then yes, burning coal would be carbon neutral. But that isn't what the term means.

Your idea is refuted by definition, not by science.
