No, Bitcoin won't raise global average temperatures by 2°C. This Nature article was debunked by other researchers. I too was asked to review it (recently, post-publication) and the gist of what they did wrong in their analysis is:

* They overestimate (probably by 3x-5x) the present power consumption of miners because they assume the distribution of types of mining machine is homogenous in this table: https://github.com/moracamilo/Bitcoin/blob/master/Randi_Tabl... (when in fact 60-70% of the mining power comes from a single row in this table: Antminer S9). This error causes their calculated average efficiency (J/GH) to be much overestimated as their dataset contains mostly inefficient obsolete ASICs

* They overestimate future power consumption by ~50x by assuming it grows linearly with the transaction rate (in reality it doesn't). Power consumption grows with miners revenues, proportional to {block rewards + transaction fees}. Fees account for currently ~2% of revenues (average of last 60 days). Rewards decline over time, so that fees will eventually account for close to 100% of revenues, which will happen on the authors timeline of 100 years. So if fees per transaction remaimed constant, we could see a 50x tx rate growth with no increase of power consumption.

* They assume the proportion of CO2 emissions per kWh never improves over the next 100 years (great progress of renewables coming to a sudden stop?), and that Bitcoin consumes more fossil fuels than what the entire world currently consumes (infinite fossil fuel reserves?). It is not unrealistic to imagine the proportion of CO2 per kWh could be in a century 20% of what it is today.

Overall, these errors combined mean their scenario overestimates CO2 emissions by a factor of about a thousand: (3 to 5) x 50 ÷ 20% = 750x to 1250x

Yep, I'm well aware. But as I said the little quirks and whatnot make MacOS feel less unixy. Obviously they're not deal breakers for me, but things like telnet, ftp, and OpenSSL disappearing make it seem like Apple is moving away from SUS (more than it is?). The delta between MacOS and everything else seems to grow with each release. It's probably worth noting that no vendor has tried to get Linux SUS certified and most distributions aren't even LSB compliant.
I wrote a Stripe subscription integration a couple years ago in Scala. The product never worked out and it's running in free mode now.

Nah, that's really stupid. Agriculture is a human need. If you let your crops infected by fungi, you get famines (incidentally something non-capitalist countries are often known for). I take it anti-capitalists would rather have millions die from hunger?
I've been reading through True Names and the various essays that proceed it in it's most recently published edition and I see crypto currencies as the fulfilment of many of the ideas talked about there. Particularly uncensored anonymous value transfers between parties.

The idea that you can send "money" to anyone regardless of who you or they are does provide some value. Unlike any other financial transaction system that proceeded it that I'm aware of, you can't be deplatformed from crypto.

How valuable you find this likely coincides with the value you place in the ideas of crypto (the original definition) anarchy.
I did not read the article, but that is a false dichotomy; most places have at least a few good sides, could be location, could be opening times, could be the music. I do not know what kind of reviews he is offering, but positive reviews do not mean he is lying.
I do expect it and I feel dirty because of it. But I need my banking app and I like my OnePlus3 and its camera. I run Lineage and I tried running without play services but I also really like Office365, Teams especially. Also my Banking App needs play services for notifications and NFC based paying, and I don't want to just download some APK for that.

I know I can buy an iPhone but it costs about twice what my OP3 cost. I strongly feel like this is my own choice and should vote with my wallet, and I guess I did. I just feel dirty because of it.
Most people can do without those 95% percent. Never fall into the trap of believing that because you offer something for free (i.e., ad-driven) that people consume, they like your offer or couldn't live without it. That seems to be a common misconception among Internet companies that do not sell any real products.

Most stuff on the commercial Internet exists just for entertainment. If people can't get X-entertainment for some reason, it's likely that most of them won't care at all and turn to Y-entertainment instead. For example, if Youtube closed tomorrow, there would be an outcry about the lost pirated music and a few silly popular Youtubers, but after a month the site would already have been forgotten.
There's no way to achieve that with today's standard C++ as it requires metadata to access/infer package version numbers.

This will hopefully change with the introduction of C++ modules in C++20 but until them the best option available to C++ programmers is either manually managing third-party libraries or employing dependency management tools such as Conan.
I don't get this chase for personal numbers. They are anyway smaller compared to everybody else apart from the current top dog, usually much smaller. Maybe this is the only way to motivate properly for some.

I enjoy doing moderate weightlifting not for bulking up or setting some arbitrary numbers, but for great feeling from my body (endorphins initially, long term just a body that works perfectly fine), to have strength and more importantly stamina to do whatever activity life throws at me. This is more than enough for me, very rewarding, and most importantly, sustainable.
a developer post a well rounded tool with documentation that was built with a lot of care. The comment thread is mostly about other tools or people dismissing the work done because another available offer is more popular or common.

When did "Show HN" threads became shark tank? Can people at least check and post about the tool itself instead of discussing CMake vs Ninja vs Meson?
Just a couple months ago I found a 27" LG LCD TV from 2005 near a dumpster. Cuirously enought the faling part was some 6K 5nF ceramic capacitors in the internal power supply board. All were kind of burnt, some a little, some desintegrated.

Truth be told there were videos in youtube on how to fix the exact same model.

Now the TV is in my parents kitchen.
I was in Thailand for 2017 and there was absolutely a digital nomad marketing ponzi scheme going on as you say. Of the people I met, a completely unsustainable number supposedly made a living "selling the dream" mostly via ebooks and courses. The other 'nomads' were mostly Amazon dropshippers, followed by a few coders/designers.

This dingbat crap also hinders accessibility, as you can’t specify alt text like you could for images.
There is only one reason why the Gatekeeper notarization check does not trigger when you run code you compile yourself on-device: the lack of quarantine xattr. We don't need to exhaust the truth table to meaningfully describe the situation.

If you're going to be pedantic, you've reversed cause/effect by saying "notarization won't come into play because you can't notarize an unsigned app". You can still upload it to the notarization API if you like and watch it fail the tests, as this is a separate step from codesign. Whether you choose to do that has nothing to do with whether you've signed it.
I have a feeling x86 manufactures would face considerable backlash if they tried to lock down SecureBoot in a manner where it's impossible to disable.

There was "considerable backlash", to say the least, to every little step along the way to the current, ridiculous reality you describe.

No one cared about our objections. The voices of those that care about free general purpose computing are not important to those who make the decisions.

Off topic: I also feel doubt to move from my highschool because it is no longer a Technical College but just normal highschool. Anyone has expertise in this?
There's value in competition, though. Bitcoin doesn't eliminate trust, but it does commoditize that function. Commoditization necessarily means "many producers", so there's no way to achieve that without duplication of effort - but I guarantee that one Bitcoin ASIC has a lot less environmental impact than one human.
I believe GP wanted to say that Symbolic Execution is a subset of Abstract Interpretation; because here the prolog expert is wrong: SE is not strictly equal to AI (though I'd gladly believe he didn't actually meant to say that).

AI itself boils down to "Build some lattices, construct a Galois Connection between them and add some abstract transfer function on top of it" (and make sure that all the necessary correctness equations hold; this is the difficult part). For SE you then choose the appropriate lattices and construct suitable transfer functions.

BTW: SE usually also needs a fixed-point iteration to produce meaningful results. At least when considering cyclic control flow graphs (loops & recursion).
Wow. Great use of time. Build the 4363th (shitty) build tool.

I wish people used the effort in the inverse direction, i.e. finding ways to nuke some of the (shitty) build tools and consolidate efforts into building just one that would just work.

If there's a compelling need to write a new build system, I'd like it to have the following features:

- If I use C++xy features in my code then automatically (suggest to) turn on the -std=xy flag.
- If I include a header in my source tree automatically figure out the include path as much as possible. if failing then as the user and/or confirm
- Automatically figure out the linker paths as much as possible, if failing then ask the user and/or confirm.

Basically I'd like to have a build tool that would just figure things out by itself as much as possible when given a source tree. So far every single build tool just repeats the same fundamental problems of the user having to program it somehow to deal with all these minute details that are not super interesting.
The problem is not in they using digital signatures, as this is a trend that is here to stay. The problem is when they are the sole provider of the trust model.

As others have pointed out, at least they should allow third-parties in where users could let trusted parties (from his point of view) provide him software for a machine he owns.

People are being näive thinking this is really about security, when in fact, its about control, power and profits. And when (some) people wake up to this fact, it will probably be too late to take any action. And i bet the majority wont even know what they have lost.

Its clear they are not thinking in their users insterests first with this move, because they are giving security with one hand, and taking freedom with the other hand.

For instance, if some app compete with them in things they think is strategic, with the control they have, they can make the app vanish and not be a problem at all for them.

We see this happening with Google everyday in search results for instance. We saw this with Windows before, but this time i think it will be much worse..

Hackers will find a way to unlock the kernel, but im sure by that time, those companies would be so powerful, they would have a legislation for that, so those kind of actions could be punished with fines or even prison.

I know im exagerating in this last scenario, but it is all possible, and with time it get more and more likely to happen.
Which was a shame, because padmapper stuck it on a map and linked to Craigslist, instead of just taking the content. If Google Maps did it nobody would think twice.

Show HN: Minikube Operator – Kubernetes on Kubernetes
I think Boeing was in a wrong mindset: certification was seen as a burden instead of being seen as an help to build a better aircraft. But maybe it was not only the fault of Boeing. The certification process of FAA is perhaps not friendly enough toward big air-frame changes (like putting the wings slightly higher to make room for the bigger reactor). Here, the certification process has not identified that a failure of one AOA sensor was able to cause a difficult to avoid crash. Maybe we should allow the use of less reliable source of data (like GPS, ...) each time a sensor has a problem.
They might want to take some advice from Steve Ballmer.

your understanding of bitcoin is very lacking. miners never waste any energy, they spend it to acquire proof that they spent it. that proof has value and while value of the proof is larger than market value of bitcoin rewarded for the proof - miners will keep mining.

also miners are not middlemen - they don't control transactions, they don't control the peer to peer network. they are there to publish the proof and get their reward.

you really should inform yourself on the topic before debating it.
Aluminium smelting results in aluminium. You can make stuff with aluminium.

> All these languages are potentially-better systems languages than C/C++

No they are not. C++ has spent decades building "a better C/C++". Any language that ignores those lessons and takes the stance of "learning C++ is too hard, let's go shopping" is doomed to fail.

When I looked up private health insurance in Ireland I kept thinking "gee that's not much better than the US". Then I realized I was looking at an _annual_ premium.
Yeah I don't know how it is in the US but in my country everyone is employed on a temporary basis. The days of actually getting a stable job for life are long gone. Getting a two year contract is the best you can get.
This is for internal dependencies of a project and indeed outside the scope of the standard which does not say that if a function is declared in file abc.h then it is defined in file abc.cpp and that this file is compiled into an object file abc.o which then must be linked during linking of any file which includes abc.h.

However, just because it is (like most build system questions) outside the scope of the standard does not mean that it isn’t possible to define some project-internal rules about what gets compiled and linked into what and that the build system cannot apply those rules to take work away from users.

The few external dependencies my project has are installed semiautomatically before any compilation starts.
Without notarization, you can still `codesign --timestamp` to have Apple co-sign your app, which validates that your certificate was valid when you signed the app, even if your certificate later expires.

Notarization is an advanced version of this where Apple adds to the signature "we have scanned the app for vulnerabilities and will continue to do so"

As it stands, crypto currencies are a promise, not a fulfillment. They will become a fulfillment after they actually solve those problems. But it's a long way from theory to practice, even after all the technology is deployed.

To be honest I'm not sure what difference it would have made. They're too close to the mainland geographically. At best it'd be a Taiwan Jr. (with Beijing asserting outright ownership and refusing to recognize independence while being in a position to do something about it physically), and at worst, well, let's just say there wouldn't have been 50 years of freedom.
No, a majority of the big political parties are for oil exploration in this area, including (until very recently) the Labour party. The reason they have done a 180 on this and blocked the proposal for oil exploration there is because of pressure from the youth wing of their party, who are vocally against it and have been so for decades. There is no grand calculus, just a political reality. In fact part of the labor party is very upset because some labour organizations have been in favor of oil and gas exploration there because of the jobs it would bring.
Except that you need to include the Functions runtime and the deployment method is completely different. This is not an apples-to-apples comparison.
I disagree, in the end the only way to affect emissions is leaving oil in the ground, demand be damned.

Oil is easy to obtain and contains an amazing amount of energy in fluid form, can also be used for plastics and many other things. There will always be demand for oil, it's almost magical. We must still leave oil in the ground.
Search console isn't really helpful in many cases. Unless there's an error, it'll probably say "crawled but not indexed", which gives you no idea why they didn't include it.

Nice victim shaming you got there. The fault of all of this is 100% on whoever stole the credentials and made those calls. OP could maybe have been more careful but that doesn't mean it's all his fault or that we should be shaming in oblivion.

Put a hundred nukes and a few military bases and tell China to f-off. In fact that's what we should be doing in Taiwan right now. It's stupid to let this sort of government which to me closely resembles fascism do whatever it wants.
Nope, same job titles.

And no, not necessarily the best programmers. Sure, some of them are/were somewhat better to begin with, but by providing them with more growth prospects you're widening the gap.

Edit: I mean, sure, I'd give the difficult problems to the best engineers WHEN there's a tight time constraint or when it's something that only they can do. But difficult problems are not the only growth prospects in tech.
This is a good point. Hopefully container services will start competing on this kind of approach.
That's a good point. Googlebot probably wouldn't try out combinations in the search box, so unless the site owner provides a sitemap Google wouldn't know about entries.

> Americans will just drill more.

AFAIK Americans already don't plan to leave oil in the ground if it's economical to get it out. They can't drill more if they're already going to drill it all.

Yeah just bare internet is more with Sonic. I love Sonic (had them in the reddit office in SF) so I talked with the rep for a while. Eventually we figured out that for my house, they would literally just be renting a line from AT&T. So I'd be paying extra each month for access to Sonic's support instead of AT&T. I almost did it anyway, but then I found out that AT&T had faster options available to me that they won't let Sonic resell.
