a. LN transactions and Bitcoin transactions are different things, i will assume you mean "how does LN affect Bitcoin's chain capacity?" - to use LN you have to make at least one Bitcoin transaction - so called "funding" transaction which opens or refills a channel, afterwards you can make millions of LN micropayments - none of them will affect Bitcoin tx capacity.

b. Yes, it's part of node configuration, you can set whatever fee you like, but most probably at this point everybody will just route around you.

c. When creating the funding transaction you decide the amount of satoshi to be locked up in a channel for use in LN. Funding transaction is subject to normal Bitcoin transaction fees (x sat/byte, the higher you pay the faster it's committed and your channel becomes usable).

>As wiremine points out, it will require vendor support--moving away from your vendor's toolchain is a world of hurt that seasoned embedded developers just won't even consider.

I wont consider a chip/microcontroller if it doesn't support open source command line tools.

Vendor support is technological debt that hinders every bit of testing and automation.

It is an equivalent problem. kqr's comment is wrong in its implications. Whether you open one door or 998 doors, you are revealing information about the likelihood of what is behind the last door. It's just more obvious that this is the case when N-2 doors are opened than just one.

"Vendor support" for programming tools is cancerous and hurts development. We need to actively push away from such idiocy.

A better title: "Security considered (and probably being) not that important for business for almost half of companies".
Users aren't programmers and programmers write things no user should ever see. Only the machines do.
A package manager ensures that the install is correctly available for all users.

With apps, same story, it ensures everyone has the app.

Install via cp -r / /usr is not a good idea as the package manager has no idea you are doing this and won't help you out.

In a worst case, the package manager will trample all over the install.

Additionally, a simple cp -r / /usr will probably not set correct permissions automatically, which means either users can edit the binary or won't be able to execute it.

Lastly, it means any update will have to be installed manually for every single release.

Package managers do this automatically and with much less friction.
That matches my perception as well. Nearly everyone I knew with a Windows phone was happy with it, you saw them around (hard to miss a brightly colored Lumina), at times they had really active developer outreach projects (if a bit scattered), but they didn't do much to expand on that. As much as the "new, new, new" of phones can seem pointless, at that point they'd needed consistent new offerings to always have attractive offerings and build trust in the platform.

(It's possible that my local perspective is overvaluing them though, German market shares often don't match what's going on e.g. in the US)
Call be insane +/- naive, but I was actually thinking of "just" gossiped/quorumed SQlite+FTS5.

In the end I got elastic search running, but it wouldn't connect to Kibana properly. I exaggerated too much -- much of my frustration was with ES not working properly with Kibana. I kept notes on what went wrong/what I was struggling with but I don't even want to look at them now, they'll be in a blog post someday
Not only has Spotify stopped me pirating music, it has led to me spending thousands of pounds (previously zero) on live music to see artists I had never heard of prior to Spotify, to listen to music I never would have known existed.

Short-sighted publishers be damned.
I have used please, on a project also written by the please developers, of which I am not.

While my experience of `plz` may have been mired by the project that used it, I can't say I found it added anything special.

It arguably doesn't meet the needs of the `plz` developers themselves, as evidenced by the custom build-rules in the project that overrode the built-ins. And at one point, it was suggested to us that we drop Plz and move to buck/bazel/pants which was suggested would be a relatively simple replacement.

Sure, it built stuff, but the general impression was it got in the way, while due to the way it was configured, was essential to keeping the project running.

And why are there 20 releases on the 25th of November?
I'm always struck by this proverb:

> “Two things I ask of you, Lord; do not refuse me before I die: Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.

One thing I didn't see in the comments here, though I may've just missed it, is that with more money you have more of an opportunity to give it away. You can make a real difference for people in need. I suspect not many in the HN crowd tithe, by which I mean giving 10% of your income to charity, but perhaps it's something to consider, and probably more fulfilling than a slightly nicer car.
Don't blame the service for missing tracks but the artist's label for not putting them there.

I once complained to Sufjan Stevens' label about his albums missing in Spotify. They basically told me the deal with their distributor in Europe expired and they didn't look for a new one yet. "woops". It took them many months to get the tracks back.
In addition to the higher unit count there are a few bullet points in the article that indicate where saved/additional time is spent. From the sound of it, most importantly: "The DE pather was modified to have a much higher max iteration count than Age1's, so longer and more complex routes can be found."
in practice will just give more money to the very popular bands since they dominate the market and leave a much smaller share for the others.

Which is exactly the current situation, by the way. Anyway, what I was doing was just demonstrating that the system is not the same.

Although I am admittedly bad at maths and statistics, it seems to me that the system I am proposing would be more likely to pay out at least coffee change to small-time artists. I might be wrong, though.

Basically I think it's unfair and unintuitive how everything I pay goes to artists I don't listen to. There has to be a better system.
I hate that it’s only available on windows 10. Bad move Microsoft!

I hadn't thought of it like that- it sure would be really interesting to find out exactly how and why people give him so much money.
Thanks for taking time to write such comprehensive feedback!

1. We were unable to replicate this, but there's the possibility for a compatibility issue. Thanks for noticing.

2. You're right; it can be improved. Noted.

3. I think improving the copy on that page will go a long way in solving the confusion. Currently, it is required for creators to choose a payout method to make the page public. We are using Stripe Connect to facilitate instant payments for creators who select Stripe.

So let's say a user did not choose a payout method and started receiving coffees. After receiving a coffee or two, he wanted to use Stripe connect. In this case, we will have to manually pay out his donations thus far before connecting his account to Stripe (and what if it's less than the Paypal minimum threshold of $10?).

For a platform that's trying to keep things simple and straightforward, that'd be a whole lot of complications and manual work :) However, I understand that this is not reason enough to ignore a critical UX concern. We'll try our best to come up with something that's efficient and straightforward.

Cheers!
A colleague of mine "wrote" a H265 decoder in Javascript.

I put that in quotes, because it was a byproduct of a much cleverer project: http://www.argondesign.com/products/argon-streams-hevc/ ; he wrote a parser for the "human readable" H265 specification, using the O-Meta system. This supported a number of pluggable backends, one of which emitted a javascript program, and one of which was the actual saleable product of an H265 decoder validation test suite.
Or something like: Carrot.js, a framework for reactive, earth-like websites.
The obvious fix is that graduating shouldn't require someone to go into 100k+ debts.

The entire cost for my graduation is probably come in under 1000€ total, 800€ will be tuition and the rest directly university related spending. (There is an additional 2k€ spending on stuff like a new laptop, software, etc. that wasn't necessarily required but made things easier).

With that kind of money (i.e., so much money you can risk not earning anything for 10 years straight) you can open yourself up to a higher risk-profile.

Stocks for example have averaged, inflation adjusted, about 6% in the past 50 years. 6.6% in the past 60 years and 8.2% in the past 40 years, for comparison. So let's say 6%. This is inflation adjusted, and dividends reinvested.

At that point you're earning $180k a year. Even if you spend $100k, you'll be accruing money over time while maintaining purchasing power. In 50 years, you'd add another $4m of inflation-adjusted wealth for example, but that's wildly underestimating reality as that doesn't figure in the compound effects of adding $80 to your wealth each year.

Well clearly I didn't try hard enough -- the ansible roles look perfectly reasonable. A quick look through the notes I took and my biggest problems were with:

- Close versions of ES+Kibana not working together

- maxConcurrentShardRequests not being set on Kibana for some reason (so when I got them talking, a silly query parameter was holding everything up)

- I wasted a ton of time due to some files from a failed installation causing an obtuse error -- I think it was a NoShardAvailableActionException

The problem here is that, users generally have some small subset of things they really care about. A particular app, or their own dev environment, etc.

For these things.. they want that control. But the allure of distributions is for all of the other things that you don't care about, e.g. I just want to use this command line tool, you can just install the package and have it work. And also know you can uninstall it, in many cases receive security updates, etc.

That is primarily where the two worlds collide.
> Sometimes you want to run something written in NodeJS as a service user which naturally and usually does not have a home folder at all.

The idea of using an isolated user and a shared filesystem makes no sense; it's the security model you come up with due to random accidents of unix history, not one that you'd design from the ground up. If you want your NodeJS service isolated, do it properly: use a jail or container, which work beautifully with npm (and are much more awkward to do with RPM).

> Additionally, having to sync up the user installation and service installation if you then create the home folder is a source for bugs both in service and user that can't be crossreplicated between the two.

On the contrary, it forces good practice by ensuring that you always know how to install the set of dependencies that you need; you use the same source of truth to install the dependencies as both. When you rely on system installs of packages, you create exactly the same problem when you come to run the program on multiple servers, only less fail-fast and harder to diagnose.

> A global installation is desirable when multiple users are required to operate on the exact same versions of a service.

If you get in a position where that's you're requirement, you've done something wrong. Take a step back and figure out what you really need.
It's also same with me. I downloaded many albums because either the prices were prohibitive to buy, or the albums weren't available here.

Spotify allowed me to listen what I want, where I want. I don't like their chromium based application, but if it's the only way that they continue developing their Linux client, I'll not whine about it.

However, nothing beats owning the albums. So if the album passes a certain value in my mind, I buy it either on CD or from iTunes for archival and listening on my proper audio system, because all the snake oil and hype aside, nothing beats warmth of a good old amplifier, a decent DAC, and some big, good speakers.

Give me a specific example.
I believe the customer support people usually have, say, $20 at their disposal to use as they see fit in order to deal with situations in which escalation would be more expensive than those $20. Thus, if it appears you're going to be costing more than that (through your negotiating), they'll probably just hand it out.
I am also French and I was not comparing France and China.
I was just presenting fact: In France (and in other European country as well), we also censor content.

Now, obviously France and US have a different idea of what is free-speech and both view have advantages and disadvantages, I am not going to argue about this.

But, at least for speech, we know what is allowed and what is not allowed to be said. But when in come to internet censorship, the minister of interior affair is almost a unregulated black-box.
As far as I remember, their was still the control of a judge , but their was no obligation to publicly have a list of banned website and the reason for their ban.
Plus, all the government have been weakening the frontier between the executive and the juridical system for decades now, so the independence of judges regarding theses issues as been really weakened.

If that doesn't scare you enough, you can read some articles by Yve Sintomaire[0] which explain why France is one of the European country with the least defense against a derive to authoritarianism.

Though I understand your sentiment, please note that the protocol governance problem holds for most major currencies (i.e. Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc). So it is not a unique flaw to Blockstack.

Please also note that though if you think about it from a centralized perspective (i.e. you using your regular browser downloading Blockstack from their own website) then yes, it is centralized. But if you think about it from a community perspective, since all code and protocol is open source, it is trivial to establish new protocol and code regardless of authority. So the essence of it is decentralized.

And this is not just some theoretical thing, all of the major coin protocols have gone through community driven ('decentralized') forks that went directly against whoever was leading the projects at that time. For example Bitcoin<->Litecoin (and notable BCC recently), Ethereum<->Ethereum 'Classic' and Ripple<->Stellar.

I have found the learning curve to be very steep. Extension points are several, subtle, and powerful, leveraging heavily not only normal OOP but also python meta programming. It is not out of the question go beyond all that and monkey patch some core class; I’ve seen this recommended by maintainers in some circumstances.

The docs are up front that waf is not a build system but a build system toolkit. For example, there is a demo that uses makefiles as the build language and runs them in waf. Another demo requires no build file but just finds the source files and builds them. But I have yet to see any external project released that says, “This is a build system... built on the waf build system toolkit,” like the Software Construction Toolkit was built on scons. Perhaps the toolkit is so close to being a build system that people just use it as is and require only small customizations, which are kept in their projects.
That would be inefficient unless you plan on removing bad actors permanently. That would mean life-long sentence for all, even minor, infractions. This is obviously not sustainable. The goal is to remove bad actors by re-educating them to no longer be bad actors. It's the only viable alternative. The other goal is to punish bad actors, thus bringing justice back into balance.

There literally isn't enough energy in the solar system to run a counter from 0 to 2^256. Computers may still get faster for some time, but in the absence of new cryptographic weaknesses, 256 bit symmetric encryption can be considered to be safe from brute-force attacks forever.

There is some trick using quantum computers that could help, but doubling the key size counters that, putting your encryption beyond the reach of brute-force once again.
One issue I have with FastMail is the reuse of email addresses. It is possible to "hack" accounts on websites which were registered to expired email addresses by simply registering that email address anew and doing a password reset. This is very common in the domain space, where email addresses are publicly listed.

What resources have you been using? Klartext is a service that delivers news in accessible Swedish (sort of like simple English Wikipedia) along with pronounciations that I’ve found to be very useful - sverigesradio.se/klartext

I’ve also changed my phone’s native language to Swedish and I’ve been watching English Netflix shows with subtitles which has really helped with picking up new words. I’m also using the SVT Play app to watch Swedish language programs with Swedish subtitles to develop oral comprehension and improve pronunciation.

There’s probably no substitute for total immersion but since I don’t plan on moving to Sweden anytime soon I’ve found the above resources to be helpful.
I really want to start using a streaming service, but I listen to a lot of Japanese artists and composers (lots of anime/game soundtracks). So far I have not found any streaming service with a decent selection when it comes to the latest releases from from Japan.

I would love to hear some recommendations for streaming services that can accommodate my tastes. I'm a fairly fluent in Japanese so Japanese-native services are fine too, but I'm not aware if any exists.

Eventually yes, my vision for the app is to effectively use NLP to solve some common challenges readers have when learning a language. I'd like it to be more than a news reader with a flashcard system.

So to do that properly, I would need to learn a bit more about Chinese to understand how it would fit. Your docs do a good job explaining the problems you're solving, but since I lack even a cursory understanding of the Chinese writing system, I have a hard time following it all.

Impressive app btw, I clicked the "Advanced" button and can see there's a lot of functionality there.

Ask HN: What would you like to see in a talk about interpreters?
Hello all,

First time poster on HN, so hopefully this is ok.

Around Christmas I decided, as a side interest, to have a go at Peter Norvig's excellent guide on building a Scheme interpreter in Python. I mentioned this to a friend who is involved in the local Python meetup and they have invited me to do a talk on my experiences.

I think I have a rough idea of what I would like to structure the talk as. Briefly;

1) Concepts behind how an interpreter works
2) Python based Lisp interpreter
3) (My current intermittent side project): C -based Python interpreter

However I thought I would ask on HN, as I'm always impressed by the breadth of knowledge on here, what some of you would like to see in such a talk? The audience is a mixture of folk new to programming and some more experienced users and I want to try a do something that will appeal to both.

I'm using Peter's excellent 'Paradigms of AI' as a rough guide (and aptly its now available online), but I'd appreciate anyone who would like to throw in any concepts they would like mentioned or any links to informative articles on the subject.

Thanks
