How about

3. The vulnerabilities are real, and something smells real fishy about the way they were released, including what appears to be 4 dudes in a basement.

Except that's not necessarily something to get "outraged" about, just something to keep an eye on while this story develops.

The only one I see shouting "this is an outrage!" appears to .. be made of .. straw?
So basically, you don't trust your developers to do their job properly. Do I understand that correctly?
Soon, all of it will be handled by the private sector who will charge the inmate for staying in prison so then we have inmates coming out of prison owing so much money they'll never be able to repay it.
I don't know how you think we can't. A few degrees C over a hundred years? If humanity can't adapt to that we're the least adaptable species ever.

Humanity is thriving during a period which started about 20k years ago where the global temperature is 10°C higher than for most of the past 2 million years.

I deleted it because zenhack's reply was better.

> Those are arguably more important if one wants mass adoption with all the library and funding benefits that come with it.

I couldn't care less about “mass adoption”. Also, working on the Right Thing (tm) doesn't require a lot of money. It requires an intrinsic scientific motivation, and patience to polish programs until they are flawless.

> I tell language authors to ignore performance or ecosystem compatibility at their language's peril.

Performance is important, but only after correctness has been established. It doesn't matter how fast a program is if it doesn't work.

As for “ecosystems”, again I couldn't care less.
Something makes me think this offer won't be this free for long.
what about $400 in gains?
> At least in some languages this is not an issue if one is able to use higher order functions, with bonus points if they allow for trailing lambdas.

I am afraid you are talking nonsense. Higher-order functions make verification harder, not easier, because they hide the point at which control flow is transferred from one module to another. This is backwards, because this point should be prominent, in big neon letters, precisely so that you can tell exactly when a resource stops being available, or when an invariant goes from being “your responsibility” to “someone else's problem”.
While they're at it they should ban tvs and computer video. video games are definitely a no-no too. They all waste so much electricity! /s

Do not presume to dictate what others do. If there really are negative externalities set regulation to price those externalities in. At worst create step functions in pricing to discourage behaviors above some typical threshold. But outright banning something that others find utility in just because reasons is a dangerous game.
That's the whole point of this discussion. People aren't declaring their crypto gains.

Actually to be honest. Hardins article is beautiful. It addresses the theory of the commons in its entirety and it also addresses putting the commons under regulation. The writing, scope and sophistication to the topic is wider in Hardins original article. The rebuttal you've submitted is actually not well done, it's almost as if the author (and yourself as well) didn't read Hardins original article in its entirety.

You're right - FoxPro was a great concept, maybe not that much in execution.
What remains to be seen is whether passive investing will also be the way to go for the next 20 years.

One idea I often hear is that the more money that is being managed passively, the easier it is becomes for an active manager to "abuse" gaps in the market (i.e. when all these funds liquidate all their assets the same time, across the board -- not looking at whether you're selling Google or SmallCapX).

The only way i've ever achieved close to the same feel of brown alps is by frankensteining two cherry clones together (in this case invyr panda housings with zealious stems). That said brown alps are highly soughtafter and old boards that contain them fetch high dollar on ebay.

There are dozens and dozens of cherry style switches by a number of companies. Cheery (of course), Kailh, Gateron, Outemu are all popular. Personally, I've kind of gravitated to Kailh as a company doing interesting things in that space they have tons of different skus each slightly different. Picking up a sampler might be a good way to go if you are trying to choose a switch that fits you.

For me, before I built the frankenstein switches I was pretty partial to the Kailh Box Burnt Orange switches.

My primary go to for Kailh swiches, I'm in the US, is novelkeys.xyz.
That's true, for North America, but entirely misses the point I made (i.e. when you try to push dozens of kW into a house, single phase becomes worse than a below-average idea).
I don't think that definition applies to what you initially responded to though, as it was about the utilities market.

It is a way of avoiding that all too common situation:

- collaborator then pushes some changes based on outdated information and breaks everything

Single quotes were modified by HN engine, right. It is not a command line (thinking of sed?), it is the middle of a source code in my editor. I have a json-parsed message and t is a target object.

We're not "using 'flight' as a metaphor for the runtime of our code".

We just adopted wholesale the terms "preflight check" and "flight recorder".

And at least the former has been adopted in several other industries/contexts.

I would be willing to bet that it would be fairly trivial for Github to identify fraudulent repos like that.
Ah thanks, a comment that makes sense to me (and doesn't require too much insight into the esoteric particle physics terms like 'Naturalness' :-P ). Agree, a break-through like the harnessing of nuclear energy was doesn't seem to be on the horizon (but who knows what we don't know?). And it might affect the perceived utility of physics by the military.

But i'm wondering if there isn't a more menacing threat looming for these advanced sciences. We could actually be hitting a hard wall in our understanding of nature. We are using instruments created for us in our dimension to probe worlds that might be much too small (or large) for us to make any serious sense of, at least for the next millennium (maybe). Maybe it's time we accept that we can't understand everything, only a little more at the time, maybe (probably) in infinity.

Meanwhile, there are a vast number of insights pertinent to the human scale waiting to be found.
We possibly would have, if we weren't warming the climate through human activity.

> I would say it is significant that temperatures of the most recent decade exceed the warmest temperatures of our reconstruction by 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit, having few -- if any -- precedents over the last 11,000 years. Additionally, we learned that the climate fluctuates naturally over the last 11,000 years and would have led to cooling today in the absence of human activity.

I see this phenomenon on HN and Reddit quite a bit. Some expert will publish a paper and there is inevitably a comment of the form, “The conclusion could be a result of...therefore the paper is trash.” People act as though their initial ruminations on a topic qualify them to properly critique an expert's research.

I try to keep in mind that if I could think of a possible objection or insight with a few minutes of thought then the expert is surely aware of this too. I think it’s common for someone who has acquired expertise on one area to think their insights apply to other unrelated areas. For instance Paul Graham has famously bashed philosophers but he certain doesn’t know what he is talking about.
It doesn't cause pain for my contractors because a) they know how Github private repos work, and b) they don't want a copy of my code in their Github account once our relationship has ended. Killing forks upon removal makes life easier for everyone.
A Counterintuitive Way to Increase Diversity in Tech
Has Cherry Red switches. I've been using an advantage for probably going on 20 years at this point, but I'm not going to lie, it took a fair amount of time to adjust to it's non staggered layout (the wells and thumb clusters are easy to get used to, but you have a lot of staggered muscle memory if you touchtype).

So if you aren't ready to take the "crazy layout" plunge but want low force switches, MX Reds are really light and really linear.

You can even go further and try Cherry Silvers, I believe they are essentially the same (same spring weight, same linear stem) but the actuate at 1mm instead of 2mm (most cherry switches have 4mm of total travel).

I have to admit that I have trouble following stories with holes in basic details. Conclusions drawn or stitched together end up missing something or being wrong.

Ok I get your point. You can still have a function take in an address object rather than inserting into another object with a constructor.

You are correct in that building types leads to a more safe program but I was more addressing the flaw with objects rather then types.

I don't think its a "l33t" thing its just cultural. A fair number of engineers grew up with old computers that looked like this: https://i.imgur.com/WERwVsS.jpg

Personally I learned to code on an old cathode ray tube monitor with green text, hooked up to a Tandy 1000. The CRT made a lot of heat and emitted a faint electronic tonal noise when it was running.

I think the use of green color in terminals today is kind of a throwback thing to those ancient devices. Even though I wouldn't really want to use an old CRT today I still remember the CRT I grew up using fondly as a much more "live" feeling device compared to modern electronics that are much colder, silent, and sterile bright. When I see a green text terminal it instantly feels familiar and comfortable, in the same way.
No, the numerator is current assets and the denominator is liabilities. This way if you have half of what you are about to spend in a year, your ratio is .5. If you have double what you are about to spend in a year, your ratio is 2. In your example, your current ratio is .5. Still you are doing way better than most people I know and the stats on national savings and lifestyle requirements bear this out as well.

I have always thought the speculation about SN's identity suffered alarmingly from availability bias. Everyone wants to believe he's someone they know about. Someone who's extremely well-known for working on or writing about things extremely similar to Bitcoin. There are far more smart nobodies tinkering with things than there are top names working on those things.

Also suffers from a bias I'll call "Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare bias." The idea is that a notable thing must have been written by a high-status and well-credentialed person, and could not have been done by a talented no-name.

This is where engineers have to be involved in the regulation process.

Unfortunately, I think regulation should be adaptive rather than restrictive.

You want to find out the distance to the Moon. You build a 100 meters high tower, but you still cannot reach the Moon. So is building a 200 meters high tower now a good idea? Maybe if you build your tower a little higher, you could finally reach the Moon.

Or maybe you should go back to the drawing board and re-think your whole approach.

article lies. Cherry makes several varieties of mx switches. They generally fit into one of three buckets. Linear (constant force throughout the stroke), clicky (has a tiny "clicker" int he switch that adds a small "bump", or area where you need to apply a few more grams for force, and an audible click), and tactile (contains a "bump" in the stroke to indicate the actuation point, like clicky but without the auditory feedback.. though the bump generally doesn't feel as crisp).
While git is a decentralized version control system, I would argue that using Github is not really decentralized. Even when everyone has a full local copy to work on, the norm is for everyone to set the Github repo as the remote origin and push/pull from there, rather than from each other.

This is in contrast to how the Linux kernel development works, for instance.
So the truth is that people are using electric heaters instead of gas/oil based heating systems, and they are somehow blaming it on bitcoin mining?

Also shouldn't the law be written to specify any electricity usage over a certain wattage? I don't know anything about Plattsburg, NY but why would a local factory that uses 100 megawatts be more "allowed" to use electricity than a bitcoin miner?

What if the bitcoin miner (or any high-wattage business) sets up their own 1 MW solar array?
