Are there any commercial examples of carbon sequestration? We've heard that line for decades now, if it's real there should be plenty of production sites by this point.
> It has even intercepted cmd-q now which is super annoying.

I can understand reasoning behind that. I had to install a Firefox extension that disables cmd-q on macOS because I had closed the whole browser many times by accident (while trying to quickly hit cmd-w). You can still use cmd-q but you have to press it twice in a very short time. Maybe Chrome could do the same.
Yeah but my concern was about direct leakage not brute force. That's what Spectre is about.

Algol was huge - for the scope of its era, and the ancestor of many modern languages so its influence was outsize too. Where modern books that aren't language specific might express ideas and algorithms in C, most books used to use Algol. There was an entire generation of later languages that were called Algol-like: B, C, Pascal, Ada, Modula 2. Probably others.
If you want trivial just use a target date fund. Otherwise you are basically just going with a blend of 4-5 index funds and updating the allocation once a year. You can even copy the allocation used by their target date funds. It's not that complicated.
The performance drop after their next security mitigation is supposed to be bigger than this price drop.

The release of their security workaround is being held back until something like one day after Ryzen 3000 release, presumably to cheat the benchmark numbers at the expense of users' security.
The US might be different from Canada here, most of our malls were built back when the now-graying suburbs were booming, and cities (especially the hip ones) have tended to fiercely resist them. Now that the younger crowd whom one would expect to populate the mall are largely fleeing suburbia for cities, malls in the US tend to be popularly associated with "that sad, empty, decaying structure back in the hometown that you escaped". Then again, this could just be my Western-Pennsylvania bias talking.
The quote is inaccurate. The paper talks about glass bottle _reuse_.

As long as transport + washing cost of glass bottles are less than production + transport cost of plastic bottles there will be some number of reuses that make glass the winner.
Possibly if everyone started getting arrested for the 'little illegalities' we all commit daily the law would quickly change. It might even result in a more fair system, especially if everyone could look up every recording not just the government.
Their costs are not going to come down anywhere near AMD's for products which can be sold for a similar price, at least with regard to their current product lines. AMD has really hit it out of the park from engineering on up to strategy.

I've never done it but I was just thinking about starting this morning after reading someones journal they kept while making their first Atari 2600 game [1]. Having the thought process, trials, failures and successes documented like that seems so valuable. I can forget the "why" of things I've done in just a matter of days, making me question my own sanity the next time I look back at some code or design choice.

I was thinking of starting with simple daily stream-of-consciousness text files. Anything more complicated might deter me from even starting the practice.

That's about manual transmission automobiles. I've never heard it referenced in aviation other than non-pilots or people who know airplanes.
Impressive improvements.

I wonder how performance and memory use compare nowadays between V8, Spidermonkey and JavascriptCore.

Does anyone have a link to recent trustworthy and thorough benchmarks? (Google doesn't really spit out anything noteworthy...)
When I first saw this post, I got excited that someone had finally addressed the side channel from 17 years ago, which gathered inter-packet timing from ssh packets (and the fact that passwords are not echo'd) to a) detect when passwords were being typed, and b) use Hidden Markov Models to extract keystroke timing to try to extract the likely passwords.

There have been defenses proposed over the years, but none were accepted by OpenSSH AFAICT.

If the performance-competitive AMD CPUs were priced at 15% below Intel, that would be reasonable. But... it looks like you'll pay about 45% less for an AMD equivalent to an Intel CPU.

In a technical sense, yes. But privateSFacct is referring to non-technical single points of failure.

Another example would be governmental capture of some chunk of the current NTP admins or something.

An organization, by its nature, is vulnerable to some potential single point of failure. Low probability, sure, but having a competing organization ready to step in can actually help keep that probability low by keeping the focus on.
That reminds me of a race condition I encountered a while ago:

There was this massive Java application processing hundreds of parallel requests per second. For each request it wrote a line with billing information into a log file. Those lines were fine from a quick glance, but when we tried processing them later we encountered invalid dates. Those log records contained future dates as well as invalid dates like 2019-02-30. Long story short: In the end we figured out that this was caused by the date formatting not being done thread safe (might have been SimpleDateFormat, but I don't remember the details anymore), causing the date components of multiple threads to get interleaved. Ouch, I guess somebody learned a lesson back then.
How patronizing.

While I think your conclusion is a little strong, it is fair to say they're trying their hardest to legitimize by becoming entangled into almost every possible piece of infrastructure around.

As far as giant databases in the sky are concerned, in my book Cloudflare joined the same category as Google a long time ago. I don't like them because they've become another data-aggregating SPOF anyone with sense should actively avoid depending on
You have to use a roughtime client. It's a UDP protocol and we don't respond to malformed packets.
All passenger jets have pressurized cabins, but they are working at lower pressure differentials than what you need above 60k feet, and they sometimes fail, with oxygen masks being the fail-safe.

If you go above 60k, and the plane experiences a rapid loss of cabin pressure, you have 60 seconds to restore cabin pressure before the passengers start dying. So the failsafe system will have to be massive. That increase in weight and complexity isn't worth the efficiency gains.

You mention Concorde, and indeed it had a very substantial failsafe system even though it only touched the lower end of the limit. Concorde had really small windows, so even with two windows gone it took some time to equalize pressure. The pilots had positive pressure oxygen masks, and the plane had the ability to drop altitude immensely fast in an emergency.

The internet wins for "consume when you want" but TV is always going to win for "live" whenever a large audience is involved. Just from a sheer efficiency standpoint, the bandwidth involved for millions of TCP connections for a single broadcast is staggering.

That's why this model can work fine for niche live events that few people want but not so much for mass market live broadcasts. It's this reason that you've got to caveat "TV Shows" vs "Live TV" when you make that statement.

"Shows" can be easily cached on CDNs much closer to each consumer. "Live" can't.

If anything, I'd see the major broadcast networks and ESPN continuing to get stronger, while everything else on TV gets weaker.

The only TV shows that people have to watch "live" are shows with a community built around them, ready to react and discuss it as it's happening (Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, etc). This is where movie audiences are similar because that opening weekend crowd for an anticipated movie tends to share the experience.

I honestly wish they'd bring back midnight showings instead of 7pm Thursday showings, because that midnight crowd energy is impossible to replicate.
It's interesting how people are looking for very different experiences at the cinema. I haven't tried the Alamo Drafthouse in SF yet, but I am generally not a fan of the hip cinemas. The food and drink is generally a huge distraction during the movies, and the seating and screen technology is usually not a top concern.

I really just want the best screen and nice seats, and sad as it may be, it's really just the big cineplex chains that deliver on that. As far as movie curation goes, that's certainly a weakness of the big chains, but at least in SF I have been shocked at the variety of foreign/indie/classic films that show up at the AMC and Cinemark if you pay attention to showtimes.
This is bullshit and untrue.

The newer cinemas are too much like a grotesque plastic theme park. Buzzling lights, games, fast food.

> First, you have to keep track of which documents need the same header/footer (unless all are exactly the same)

That should be pretty easy to program into a Makefile.

> Second, you have to extract the title from the content somehow

Or just "cat headerfront $PAGE/title headerback $PAGE/body footer > $PAGE.html".

Like yeah, there's some upfront complexity, but nowhere near the complexity of manually editing these things on each and every page. Once you have these programmed in and scripted out, you get 90% of the useful stuff a SSG does for you with 10% (at most) of the moving parts.

One of the reasons America can't build infrastructure is that we elevate the temporary inconvenience of a few "families with small children" over the long-term good for hundreds of thousands of people in the region. It's also the underlying basis for the myriad ways in which we let individuals and special interest groups sue to stop development that benefits everyone.

You're using the ad infinitum fallacy. At no point did anyone mention that no one should not use professional breeders. The point is, "most people don't know how to find a professional breeder". It's exceedingly easy to let 2 dogs of the same breed have puppies. It's a lot harder to screen for personality and physical issues. Additionally, there will always be people buying from professional breeders. So many fields need working dogs for protection, scentwork, hunting, servicework, farmwork, and I'm sure many other fields I'm missing. Additionally, there will always be a demand for show and sport dogs (agility, herding trials, schutzhund, dock jumping). This argument of "let's suppose there is never a purebred dog again" is very confusing for that reason.

Additionally, you would be shocked at the number of people who buy a cute puppy and then are surprised because they didn't realize their adolescent goldendoodle needs more exercise then a 20 minute walk everyday, or that their once friendly cattledog puppy is grown up and barking and lunging at every dog that walks by. Again, that's when the onus is on good breeders to ensure that the new owners know what they're getting into. Usually the facebook/craigslist breeders are not good about explaining or requiring this - they'll give away a puppy to anyone who pays. If those same people go through a rescue, they're usually informed by the rescue the amount of work involved, and can do things like foster-to-adopt to ensure the dog fits their lifestyle.

I love good breeders! They're absolutely fantastic about keeping their puppies healthy, and frequently have clauses about how the dogs must go back to them if the new owners want to give them up. They have careful screening processes and are good about making sure the owners will do the requisite work and training for the dog to be well-behaved and for everyone to be happy. Bad breeders do none of these things, and make the likelihood of genetic disorders higher, not lower. These breeders don't get their puppies checked for the 'bone issues that can be fixed at birth' as you say, and let the unaware owners deal with the fallout.

I'm also confused about your point about irresponsible shelters. Where do you think the animals would be if the shelters didn't take them? They'd be running around on the street, unvaccinated and untrained. Do you really think that's better?

I wish the first half or so of Black Panther had stuck to the villain as the perspective character. It could have been outstanding, and not just by the standards of Marvel films. That's me Monday morning quarterbacking, of course, and I'm sure it's pretty hard to know what'll work before the film's made, and harder still to make the call to break from a proven formula.
By this logic, would Guitar Magazine, which published very complete sheet music for many of these songs have a copyright claim? I know I have a magazine at home with Stairway to Heaven and I'm pretty sure there's a copyright in there somewhere.
Unfortunately, it’s human work. The paragraph reads “For the six months after he was hired, Speagle would moderate 100 to 200 posts a day. He watched people throw puppies into a raging river, and put lit fireworks in dogs’ mouths. He watched people mutilate the genitals of a live mouse, and chop off a cat’s face with a hatchet. He watched videos of people playing with human fetuses, and says he learned that they are allowed on Facebook ‘as long as the skin is translucent.’ He found that he could no longer sleep for more than two or three hours a night. He would frequently wake up in a cold sweat, crying.”

Paul Graham disagrees[0] and the current site guidelines[1] don't suggest that you shouldn't downvote for disagreement. The guidelines do suggest that you shouldn't comment on voting in the comments.

I agree with the position that downvoting for disagreement is a net negative for any site that allows it; it encourages the comments to become an echo chamber and discourages people from posting interesting opinions that dissent from the majority opinion. But HN's guidelines don't prohibit it or even suggest that its wrong.

If you can beat the market over a 10-15 year period, you are in a very small group of extremely fortunate individuals (some of which are simply lucky). If you have beaten the market over the last 1-5 years, you likely invested in particular factors without really knowing it. Once those factors lose favor, you will significantly under perform the market.

I personally invest primarily in well diversified, extremely low cost ETFs and I buy 1 - 2 positions a year outside of that portfolio (right now the main one is bitcoin for me). But, I'm always looking around for something that I think can be a 10X return.

But... I rely on my primary diversified portfolio for my retirement and the single 1 or 2 investments I make outside of that are for fun, knowledge and I fully acknowledge gambling.

The map function has a bad API surface that interacts poorly with the way people expect it to work. In a better designed API, if you needed the index of each yielded value other languages have some kind of enumerate method that will allow people opt-in to getting the index. Then if you needed the replicate the presented situation you would have something like

['1', '7', '11'].enumerate().map(([val, idx]) => parseInt(val, idx))

I understand that this pattern of having extra "helper" arguments is pervasive in JS and might seem less exotic to the community, but I feel it is a problematic approach, as it is foot-gun prone.

Yes, I have an engineering notebook. It's actually a system that consists of both a public codex and a private digital note taking system.

The public codex contains lessons learned and other such things which are publicly shared so that others may learn as well.

The private digital note taking system is less formal and more ad hoc and is thus probably more akin to what you have in mind. It contains semi formal documentation on both engineering processes used and noted properties of physical phenomena (which software is included in) that should be noted to simply remember things.

Both of the note taking systems are very useful as one of the primary purposes is to, again, simply remember things.

The public codex as a notebook mechanism is not used as often as its private digital notebook counterpart, namely because it requires more energy to add new entries given its formal presentation requirements. The private digital notebook, in contrast, doesn't have such stringency and so creating new entries is easier. Also note that it's digital because my physical notebook has run out of available writing space :)
If you're in the cloud you should get time from the cloud provider, not from Cloudflare.
It’s even cheaper than that. 1GB 4G data per day, with unlimited calls (local and long distance) and 100 SMS per day, can be had on prepaid plans that cost about $2 (₹140) per month on longer duration plans (like 84 days). With additional discounts, this can go down even further.

These plans are provided by the other major service providers.

Postpaid plans (contract plans) in India are ripoffs, comparatively.
Typically, India is 10-15 years behind China. India is currently undergoing the same software boom that China went through 15 years ago (with Baidu, Tencent, ...). Hardware manufacturing is now moving to India, and India already has a competent (though currently behind US, China) chip design. It is only a matter of time that India also starts making it's own [chips, hardware, software, services, devices]. And I bet a repeat of the exact same reactions from the west.
Do you use one?

I keep one on dead tree media in chronological order. It gets used at least once per week as if it were a lab notebook, for note taking during debugging firmware or hardware prototypes, less so during initial development for roughing out architecture and doing first pass state diagrams. As for utility it's indispensable when trying to recreate something like test bed setups months later. In the old days it would have been useful evidence in patent litigation.

Those days $DAY_JOB bought us high quality and very pleasant to use pricey half-bound (each page bound in front of a perforated copy sheet to tear out) and page numbered engineering notebooks. That's no longer the case with the new first to file regime.
Ask HN: 50/50 equity split without registering new corporation?
Dear HN, I developed a SaaS app together with my partner (50/50) that is making a few hundred dollars a month. This app has been a side project for us, both of us have businesses in a related field that take up the bulk of our time. We are based in Canada.

We are planning to incorporate very soon, but are wondering if there is a way to structure this project that avoids the paperwork involved with managing a whole new corporation.

Can a joint venture agreement between our respective companies specify 50/50 ownership? Is this a practical approach?
