Of course it is instant - any centralised payment solution is instant as they live in a a zoo rather than a jungle. That's what I'm saying, Ripple looks like a duck but is not a duck, it has some features of a cryptocurrency but lacks the core one - decentralisation. Also its blockchain is screwed - initial 30k transaction or so are lost. And on a personal level I dislike this company as I was constantly removed from their channels asking why their escrow in 2017 hold more coins than their total supply. They couldn't even get it right. D. Schwartz is probably a decent programmer, and I sort of admire how they became rich by building a lame replica of an expensive watch (bitcoin) - I read all of his posts on bitcoin stackexchange some time ago while learning about the industry...
Only new forests sequester. Old forests are in approximate CO2 balance: rotting trees and the consumption of green mass by wildlife emit CO2 at approximately the same rate as it is absorbed. Since we have a limited area to plant new forests this is only a temporary solution.

But it's important, since it could buy us a few more years to implement more permanent solutions.
That cuz you got got by the automtive industrial complex to the point where it effects your views on terminology.
They will probably lower the price of the 3DS after at the same time.

They also don't target the same population.

3DS targets small kids, it's surdy, and have low graphic capabilities. You put it in their bag back, for a long car ride, etc.

The Switch is a family console. The adults play it. We have diablo on it. But it got only a 3h lasting battery and it's more likely to break.
Books and cartridge games had regional pricing simply because it optimized profits. It isn't a moral question.
I've worked at a much smaller scale then those (12" length), but yes capacitors are very fun.

I used a screwdriver taped to a meter stick to complete the circuit : )
True. In such case you need to create a different symlink within the same filesystem and then use "mv" to atomically overwrite the current symlink.

ln -sfn target new && mv -Tf new old
Don't know if anyone has ever considered this (ignoring gross simplifications), but as depictions of aliens are typically conceptualized from creatures we see on earth. Is it possible that if we are the only living creatures that have (yet) gained heightened consciousness, then spreading the DNA of all life on earth across the universe in a similar fashion to how our microbial life arrived on earth is how we ensure that life truly goes on if we fail?
No, the fields that take up 8 bytes are pointers to PyObject. (I guess this article assumes a 64-bit memory model.)
In my minds eye we would give one dedicated port to the main service. The apps would pick a random unused port, and report back to the main service to which would then become a reverse proxy from the main services port to the bound port.

So if the rsync app bound to 5392, it would report back to the main service so. And it would ensure all (or some subset of request) to rsync.localhost were reverse proxied back to localhost:5392.

For the most part when I say some request I mean most if not all, but it might be nice to have a system level rsync.localhost/.info uri that would give system level information about the app.
Could you clarify to me/give a short definition of BAR space? For obvious reasons it's a bit hard to search for :)
Ask HN: Where do you go for career advice?
I'm a very lost right now as to my career and a number of things surrounding it. I've tried r/cscareerquestions on Reddit and their discord, but it seems that it's mostly students with high hopes and I found myself lending more advice than receiving. I've also made posts on HN on the past asking specifics, but they rarely gain more any traction.

Is there any good places you know of for this stuff? I'm at a point right now in my life where I feel like I'm wasting.
Wonder if Diatomaceous earth still works

Similar reason. Explaining how it was made (by cutting it dow) has no bearing on the why, which was the point.
> JavaScript, captchas, and logins, are the main “gotchas” for text-based browsing, if the functionality of a site (or part of the site) relies on any of these then most likely it will not work.

Really, there is no reason why a form should require JavaScript. When jQuery was hip, the js community celebrated "Graceful degradation". I frequently have the feeling this attitude is lost. That's super sad because it also excludes all the handycapped people.

Does even anybody remember the good old HTTP basic acess authentification? This is one of the most accessible ways of protecting ressources, it can be consumed by any HTTP client (!), and it is just reduced to the basic.

One of the worst things are these terrible captchas everywhere. I wonder why we cannot come up with a web standard interface in a way the captchas could be offloaded to customizable and adaptable GUIS rendered by the browsing client. This way, clients (users) could even declare what kind of captcha they can solve (blind people obviously cannot read images).
Where I live there is not a signal at every intersection. In some places there are not even any marked crosswalks anywhere nearby. However, every intersection that's not signaled/marked has implicit "unmarked crosswalks" and according to the law drivers must stop for pedestrians in these crosswalks.

The vast majority of drivers seem to be ignorant of this law, or they just don't care. Enforcement is nonexistent. When I step out into the road, I'm sure most of the drivers think I'm "jaywalking". More often than not they do not stop. I am not "jumping" into the road, nor am I generally walking about in low-visibility conditions.

Maybe fancy urban planning can help, but it's a band-aid on a deeper problem, at least where I live: drivers are ignorant and have bad attitudes not suited for the responsibility of operating motor vehicles. I guess it makes sense that enforcement is nonexistent, because "ignorant and have bad attitudes" is also an apt descriptor of police in America in general. Of course, I have been stopped for jaywalking... because obviously that is so much worse!
If you want to make brow.sh usable over a network connection, I would highly recommend using mosh. Also, a couple of relatively basic things don’t work, such as file uploads (somebody made an issue a while ago but there’s been no activity on it since November of last year).
I read The Dog Stars after somebody here recommended it to me. Ever since then I often think about flying a small plane. If I hear one buzzing overhead I can't help myself - I have to watch it fly away.

In case you are interested, that book is a post-apocalyptic novel and the protagonist has a great relationship with his dog. Usually having a dog in the story is all it takes to keep me interested, but I loved everything about this book.

When I turned 16 and started driving, my life changed overnight in a very good way. I imagine learning to fly would give me that feeling again. I could go where I want and not be limited by going where the roads are. It's very appealing.
But if you don't hug the shoulder the police will harass you for it.
The exemption is only for the record keeping requirement to help keep costs down. Every organisation still needs to meet the data protection regulations.
It's nigh impossible for a video game to be rent-seeking, since games are completely optional and often worse to play than not play. Only the few games that infect a whole culture can be thought of as needs subject to rent-seeking due to social pressures.
A while ago there was a discussion here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20293041) about right-angle bends in PCB traces and why we avoid them. One of the suggested reasons was that they distribute current poorly and can cause failures under high current. This video (https://youtu.be/weJdXaGRJGY) from the article is a great illustration of this in action, giving a literal heat map of current density.
I genuinely don't understand how you could come to this conclusion.
This may be true in Western Europe. In Russia, the de facto law is that cars have the right of way, a holdover from Soviet days, when only politicians and top bureaucrats were afforded cars.

This is a great read. I spend so much time fighting the web. If you want to maintain a shred of privacy you then have to regularly read about all the latest trackers, dns monitors, browser fingerprinting techniques, shady vpns, blocking social domains, etc, and even then you're probably not very anonymous or private.

I hadn't ever really considered just giving up on the browser before. But I think yeah, maybe it's time. The web has become such an awful cesspool of surveillance capitalism, I'm tired of fighting it all.
The problem is that people say they care but they don't want to bare the cost. Politicians aren't stupid, they know this and choose not to do anything about it

> The survey results also suggest that the amount that people are willing to pay monthly varies. Fifty-seven percent are willing to pay at least $1 per month. The share declines with the monthly cost: 23 percent would pay at least $40 monthly, and 16 percent would pay at least $100 each month. However, the fact that 43 percent are unwilling to pay anything underscores the polarization about climate change. Party identification and acceptance of climate change are the main correlates of whether people are willing to pay, with Democrats being consistently more inclined to pay a fee.

> the built-in controls and their lack of detachable controllers, HD rumble, and IR sensors creates some small compatibility issues.

No HD rumble ... does that mean no rumble at all?

Is there any use for IR when the controller is connected? Seems to me like you don't lose out, in this case [1]

I'm guessing it still has a USB-C at the bottom, so why not let it do video-out from a dock? Are there any savings in gutting that feature?

To counter your anecdote, cyclist deaths have risen lately in NYC to the point of public protest:

> Aster Ryan, 25, of Wingate, said “this summer has felt especially dangerous.” In addition to the three cycling deaths that took place within a week, Ryan said she was hit while riding her bike a little more than a week ago on Dean Street, and also watched another rider get hit by an opening car door recently.

That is like arguing against drowning because you require water. The dose and application make the "poison".

It is even true that the CO2 was at this point before. If it had shifted at geological timescales even if it was from human activity it would be more or less fine as the ecosystem could adapt to it like previous epoches.
Certainly there would be extinctions but would give time to adapt and speciate.

Tree planting helps some but it isn't comparable at scale at all - as in running out of available landmass bad.

Tree planting would help the ultrapoor if they maintained it locally given things like impact on soil erosion and rainfall but those are only localized effects
I get what your saying, that the personal risk is low, especially compared with say driving or heart disease. Heck, I'm a middle aged heavy guy and couldn't care less who sees my nudes.

But, I believe we (as technologists) have a responsibility to use and push for strong security practices. I don't want my kids to grow up in a world where creeps blackmailing them through their webcams is a possibility, or where a rogue politician has all the tools of absolute authoritarianism already set up and waiting for him.

A camera cover is a huge win. It's super easy and cheap (a piece of plastic), it's easy to understand (entirely mechanical), it works 100% when used, and it's failure modes are obvious. Not all security controls are cheap, easy, and 100% effective, but this one is. And if you don't bother to use it in your bedroom, then that's fine, but every webcam should have one.
Is that in a theoretical sense, or is it something I could do now? If the latter can you be more specific - how do I use pre-tax dollars to pay for my bus fare?
You might be right in at least some cases, but I don't think this is really the point. Requiring businesses to provide their services to arbitrary numbers of people who are offering them nothing in return is a dangerous and ultimately unsustainable strategy.

Maybe if we were faced with some severe and immediate threat to public health and the business were a manufacturer of essential medication, there might be some overriding public interest justification for adopting that sort of position in law, but I think it would need to be a crisis of that sort of level to justify such direct intervention. I don't think the situation we're talking about here is anywhere close to justifying it on similar grounds.

Nor do I see any obvious evidence that forcing the matter through regulatory action will motivate a shift to more desirable funding models for the affected businesses. First some good alternative models would have to be identified, and if we'd done that already, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation at all.
This is typically what laws are for. Sadly, those of us in the Land of the Free will probably have to wait a decade or two to get anything reasonable, so I fully expect this trend to continue as-is for now.
When traveling, to keep bandwidth usage down I exclusively use Firefox as my iPhone browser because of its ability to turn off images. Turns out most web pages are actually a lot better with only text.
A company that I work for was in the beta of serverless for MySQL, and we currently use it for both dev and production workloads. We're a startup, so it definitely simplifies devops for us, but personally I think you're better off just running a large RDS instance.

The main problem with it that we have run into is that if there are active transactions in the database, it can't find a "scale point". So when our application gets hit with thousands of users at a time and they are all generating database transactions, it can't scale up.

It's definitely been good for us in development though, and I would highly recommend it for that.
Agreed - Browsh over mosh on a cheap VPS is good fun!

Also, some commands interfere with Tmux I think, such as closing tabs. I need to figure that one out!

If you’re already adding extensions, uBlock Origin does a better job than Pi-hole (client-side is more powerful than DNS). Enable advanced features and then you can use the uMatrix-esque dynamic filtering panel to prevent 3rd party or all JavaScript. I recently learned to use its power and now no longer feel the need to use uMatrix or NoScript.
A pretty logical iteration on the switch. I'm surprised its not a little smaller though, I'd like to compare it its dimensions to the vanilla switch.

>I don't see why Twitter should be expending resources determining what is or isn't an 'official' government account, and what rules apply in all the different countries' legal jurisdictions. That's just a hornets nest.

Then they can easily slip something into their terms of service to say no official government accounts allowed, and when one shows up and starts to cause problems they can ban it.
Conceptually yes, but technically renderdoc works differently. On Windows it patches IAT (Import Address Table), then for D3D it wraps complete D3D COM interfaces. It doesn’t use the described tricks to patch code with jmp instruction, it’s not too reliable, IMO.

Similar on Linux, it doesn’t have IAT but it has PLT (Procedure Linkage Table) which is basically the same thing as IAT.
I've concluded the opposite: leave the cars where they are. What I want is a separate pedestrian level to the city - a skyway system (though I'm fine with it being underground). Let the humans walk in air conditioned comfort while not cars to worry about. This is much cheaper than the underground roads.

Mix baking soda and sugar together and put them in a bowl. Will kill them dead without toxicity to humans.

Boric acid has no resistance.

Bay leaves repel about every insect known to man. Roaches hate bay leaves and will not be in the same area with them.

Editing to say that bay leaves can be crushed in a coffee grinder, put in a plastic ketchup/mustard bottle as a powder, and the resulting powder "puffed" into areas where they have been. This can be done outside as well. Combine this with orange oil concentrate and your house will be insect free fairly quickly. Cheap, too.

Editing to add, here in the south, loads of people also buy concentrated orange oil from places like Tractor Supply and mix it with water in a pump sprayer. Spray the permimeter of your house and zero insects will cross it. It's toxic as hell to the insects because it dissolves their bodies, but non-toxic to cats, dogs, lizards, etc. They will NOT develop a resistance to being melted by the citric acid.
Yeah no doubt it is a phase.

I'm a big fan of judging people by what they are saying than by the words the use, and in context it's clear that you are not intentionally being offensive.

The problem with discussing politics here is that if you aren't on the right side of history (as determined by groupthink) then you very quickly find yourself shadowbanned or outright banned.

So don't expect a nuanced discussion of politics here.
> Those who walk or bike to work receive no commuter tax benefit

Its all about incentives. And the government is in the driver's seat. I would love to get paid to bike around - that is a brilliant idea. Not to mention the health benefits of having a population exercise to get to work.

I live in NYC where the city was designed for cars. I find it a travesty that prime waterfront property on both sides of Manhattan - really all around the island - is a highway. If Robert Moses had prioritized non-car means of transport, we would have a very different city.
Not to mention, you wouldn't even have to see a signature like that in the first place. Many of Rust's frameworks can accept a variety of signatures for handlers, so for example, with actix-web:

use actix_web::{web, App, HttpRequest, HttpServer};

async fn index(req: HttpRequest) -> &'static str {
println!("REQ: {:?}", req);

"Hello world!"
}

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
HttpServer::new(|| {
App::new()
.service(web::resource("/").to_async(index))
})
.bind("127.0.0.1:7879")?
.run()
}

Five small notes:

Actix runs on stable Rust, and so does not support async/await directly yet; this is what it will look like when it does. You need to write a bit more code to map between the 0.1 futures and stdlib futures to use it today. This will go away once async/await is stable.

The async/await is not needed for something that simply returns a string, of course, but to keep it as close to the original example as possible...

The `'static` is a bit unfortunate, but if you just write &str, the compiler will tell you to insert it. A small speedbump but shouldn't stop a newbie in their tracks entirely.

This is an infallible handler, since we're just returning a string. You can use Results and such as well, when your handlers need it, but it doesn't have to come into play for the simplest of things, which reduces the overall burden. A lot of web frameworks in Rust let you return non-Strings too, which is actually a hard requirement or else you can't serve things like images. It's just that "hello world" is a string...

It didn't make it on HN, but the latest Techempower benchmarks show Actix starting to run away with the competition: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20399773
Re: the title - How could it be MORE beneficial than we think? Who thinks that literally saving the world is anything less than highly beneficial?
> there you find data types defined entirely in terms of functions - pure behavior!

In every programming environment that I am aware of, such data-less functions you describe would be happily deleted without any worry to customers & stakeholders.

For example:

add : Int -> Int -> Int

This may look nice on paper but on a real computer there are bounds to this purity. And anyway my program only becomes useful when actual integers are instantiated and appearing on stacks and the heap.

The "data-first" ideas we're discussing here ask one to stop obsessing over the functions and model the data soundly. You'll find any PL will do when operating over sound data expressions. This approach ime brings clarity and power to problem solving.

Theory divorced from practice is limiting. This is not a philistinic take, btw -- theory is supremely powerful when applied successfully for outcomes. But the "pure behavior!" you're talking about here seems too excitedly far away from practitioner-space.
I don t understand. The title is gravity of photon. Then you start talking about electromagnetic field. I sure something is missing here. What would be the source of gravitation and who is subject to that field?
