Thank you for open sourcing this. Across Googles github accounts there are some amazing showcases that offer an invaluable source of inspiration. The web.dev site is awesome! I actually came across proxx after I forked the website. Eleventy seems to be a robust static site framework with nifty template options.

I was a bit disappointed the actual dynamic part of the website was removed a couple of months ago during migration to eleventy. The express server, url fetching of lighthouse results & the option to save this in Firebase. For me this is the most interesting part of the website. How to setup a fetching api & Cloud Firestore with identity features. It would be awesome if devsite.js would be included for the people that want to take a peak under the hood.
In the case of the kernel it's not just a performance thing. There are a lot of things that are totally irrelevant to the high level notion of the C execution model that are therefore not exposed, and certainly not in the C standard.

Things like: Hm, I need to swap my stack register and page table with this other process.

Or writing interrupt handlers.

Atomic operations and memory barriers used to be one of those things, but compiler extensions and new language standards have been catching up on some of that... Though to be honest a kernel will want enough control that it will likely still go outside the standard or extra compiler support for these anyway.

How tight are you making the VR headset? Whatever tightness you're using might be a bit much if you consider it "heavy constricting".
From the article you linked: "Waste heat from the condenser is transferred either to the air, or sometimes to a cooling pond, lake or river."

Coal plants can certainly use ponds to cool, but air cooling works just fine for them. Unlike Nuclear Coal can eject most of its heat, as exhaust from burning the coal, into the air.

I have to add, it was a little dishonest of you to link to the one photo with cooling towers, and not to all the other ones that don't have them.
Agreed. We do this and it has worked out amazingly well.
Can't we design a font specifically for dyslexics without resorting to an ugly one that accidentally works, and that fixes b and d also?
That's what the research is now, and many partial solutions already exist.
In Dutch it's WOB and from German and Dutch colleagues I heard it's a thing there as well. I don't know of an EU country that doesn't have it. I thought it was an EU regulation, just like GDPR is mandatory to implement, but I can't find anything about it and our law is from 1991, so I guess it might not be after all.
Why couldn’t it be more like hardware, if it’s well built I won’t need an electrician to come every week or two to update the hardware. I think that can be true for software too, at least updates shouldn’t be intrusive (chrome and HN come to mind)

Let me give you an example, I’m a casual gamer, I don’t play every day, sometimes a week or two could pass without me playing with my console, but almost every single time I turn it on it will get at least one update, for the console itself, my controller, the game I wanted to play, I guess that’s one of the reasons I don’t turn my console that often. I miss the old days when my NES would wait for me, he was always ready!
That's not what they said.

You learn by doing, and also by example. So they can do the review themselves, but also see what other people pick up on. It sets expectations, and also shows how other people think.

I always find it interesting when I do the same review as one of my co-workers. We might pick up on the same things, but often they are completely different. It shows the value of having multiple perspectives on a team. Not just for review, but for design, implementation, validation, debugging, and the rest. It widens people's perspectives, serves as a means for ongoing improvement and learning, and makes the team better as a whole. We all have different backgrounds and expertise, and having people share and pass on some of their knowledge and skills is highly valuable.
Chomsky has also been arrested several times, but imprisonment (or arrest) is not the same thing as censorship.
I don't think the average person should expect or try to. But there are people who produce tonnages of produce on a 1/10th acre (granted, these are in California and Florida with year-round growing). The person in my parent post talks about how he was able to grow 300 lbs of sweet potatoes on 200 sqft of yard with very little effort and input. I think the most important thing is for people to realize how much, 30%, 50%, 80% of their diet they could hypothetically produce. It is also great motivation to transition one's diet away from processed food to vegetables.

I don't believe any of these ideas should be an all-or-nothing venture but if individuals can take back just 10% -20% of their diet from unethical agri-business, it's a MASSIVE win for health, self-reliance, environmental awareness, and community building
That actually looks good haha
Do experts take into account previous performance and overcompensate current score to ensure previous top players are pushed out the top 10?

Data seems to suggest this, which is going to extreme lengths beyond “expert votes”.
And is more akin to changing the rules at the last minute to avoid living up to the promises put out by the platform.

If this is not the case then perhaps you can release more data to illuminate the oddities highlighted by the article?
Yes but I’d consider neither of those “native”. Except HTML which is native to the web. TUIs are native not GUIs by definition.
> And why are these build systems necessary in the first place?

Because C/C++ compilers are fragmented. And because C/C++ is not very portable. If building for windows -> pass a bunch of -D flags to the compiler. If building for Linux, pass a different set of -D flags. Different compilers require different arguments.

> If there were some type of system where library A says it depends on library B ... and the compiler knows how to resolve this

Here's the crux of the problem. There is no organization that owns or maintains C++, unlike Rust. With Rust, there is only one compiler - rustc. With C++ there are at least 5 major ones maintained by 5 different (competing) organizations.

There's no way to do package management in C++ without massive build system rewrites. Consider:

I write a new C++ package called CoolCrypto. It depends on libssl. I wrote my package in CMake, libssl uses autotools. Barf, the package manager only speaks CMake and gives up.
Forks are a unique economic situation. I think a slightly more accurate metaphor is if someone printed money and mailed it to you.

A cost basis of 0 on a sale is the most "fair" way to account for forks/drops/etc. imo. Otherwise there's too much burden on the individual to keep track of all the many forks that occur.
It's interesting to read and extremely accessible to the point that nothing can be learned about the actual problem and its solution.
Check out the book "The Upside of Stress" by Kelly McGonigal (or watch her TED talk - https://www.ted.com/talks/kelly_mcgonigal_how_to_make_stress...). It helped me understand how different sources of stress were affecting me and how I was framing those situations.

There are multiple ways stress can affect you, and only some of them should be viewed negatively when they pop up at inappropriate times. In many cases, stress can be viewed positively as the body warming itself up to take on a challenge, rather than a response to a threat. Those things feel physiologically similar, so your brain doesn't always interpret them correctly. The goal is removing/reframing the stressors that make you feel threatened, and selecting for the ones that make you feel challenged.

> But an expression of an opinion can be. If I say "I am 100% certain that [thing I like] is better than [thing you like]", that is a challenge to you.

That's not a challenge. It's childish to feel challenged when someone else has a differing opinion. I can't even fathom going through life seeing everything somebody else likes as a thread to something I like.
That takes me back. It was so depressing if you got a couple of red ones in the middle of the screen.

That's not necessarily true. An average could also be the peak version for many users. And if it is true, I still don't see why it's a problem, the average would still measure the peak state across all users?
To plays devils advocate, google may be a private company, but it has a sheer dominance in a how information is disseminated, giving it a influential role in how people formulate there beliefs and opinions.
And even though currently, as a private company, Google can argue that they don't have to allow anyone on there system, because of how much influence they have on the flow of information, not having proper or fair access to there platform is equivalent to a community not being giving access to vital utilities or education. There is no equivalent or remotely second best option to google.

The event regardless is an issue in both Googles system and for Gabbards campaign.

More importantly, more revenues could mean more school places, period. If you want all those young freshly minted grads to stay in the area in their new upzoned apartments and condos, eventually they will want to raise kids.
This is not different.

Coincidentally, I was the engineer at Zenpayroll (now Gusto) who was working on enabling employees to be paid in crypto back in 2013/2014. We never got to the implementation phase because of precisely this scenario. Bitcoin is so volatile that it's a very scary way to be paid. The downside risk (you can't pay rent because bitcoin did something weird that week) is really really bad for users and most people don't understand those or the tax implications. So we scrapped the feature.[0]

A parallel would be stock options issued by companies. Let's say you get 100 stock options with a strike price of $1/per share. You wait a year to exercise and by that point the common stock is valued at $2.50 per share. If you exercise, you still pay $100 for the 100 shares but you owe taxes on the $150 gain, even though you might think that your compensation was always $100.

If you acquire an asset at one price and sell it at another, you owe taxes on the difference. If you acquire an asset for less than it's worth, you owe taxes on that.

[0]: this is one reason why I will never understand people defending btc as "a store of value". That's a terrible store of value!

You can find some more pictures and stuff with google - the company no longer exists, and I don't know if any of the prototypes or such are still around; if they are, they are probably "unobtainium".

But anyhow, part of the system was a particular style of "zero gravity" posture chair, as you can see from the pictures and such. So playing Elite Dangerous in an HMD from a similar chair might be an interesting experience...
Also worked in ops my whole life and can definitely understand that stress when downtime hits and people are counting on you. Minutes begin to feel like hours.

Seeing more of these large companies (Google, Facebook, Cloudflare) have significant outages has helped my confidence a ton. We are all human and make mistakes and can’t always figure out the fix immediately.

I’m just glad that as far as I know, none of the outages I was responsible for we’re life and death situations. That is stress I don’t want.

Your point is moot, buying and selling Bitcoin is not like buying and selling currency. The IRS classifies it like buying and selling gold, which you pay taxes on when you make a profit.
Ask HN: Are robots running wild on HN?
I just made a comment on the article trending about the Sprint merger.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20535872

I posted a comment that I felt was directly relevant, with a link to where the assertion was made. I did not add my commentary on the people involved.

Within seconds, it was downvoted. (I don't care about the downvote.)

I was not intentionally trying to start a flame war. I made no comment that Trump was "bad."

Is it possible that any comment with Trump in it would be downvoted by a robot account? I've noticed the same thing happening when the discussion is related to China, comments are immediately downvoted. (I would not have noticed this if I had not been so addicted to the reward of getting an upvote that I check several seconds after posting.)

Here are the guidelines I saw which could apply.

> Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents.

> Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That destroys intellectual curiosity, which is what the site exists for.

I don't care about HN being fair. It just seemed like a suspicious immediate downvote which could not have been from someone who actually read the article. I can understand someone doing a kneejerk downvote, but it would be really interesting if a discussion forum like HN turned into a place where public opinion about controversial topics could be molded and shaped. Possible?
When you pay with a credit card the merchant only gets a payment notification, the money is transferred much later. You'll get a notification in seconds with Bitcoin as well.

Of course I have to mention that Bitcoin has unreliable and sometimes very high fees. This is a problem with Bitcoin specifically not with cryptocurrencies in general.

As a practical example I bought computer parts recently and I paid with Bitcoin Cash. When I was prompted to pay I scanned a QR code with my phone and I was done. It was even smoother than having to input my credit card numbers into the site. Of course the experience is the same if you pay in person, which I did at a restaurant when I visited Japan. Extremely easy.

I didn't make any comparison.
The temptation to learn neural nets "with" a programming language as opposed to math, is probably because programming is more fun.

And the reason it is more fun is because you are getting instant feedback, you fix the error and get a dopamine kick when it passed that error and so forth. All the programmers here know exactly what I mean.

The math, meanwhile, is harder because you might read description, stare at an equation. Hope that you "get" it. Then read the next statement, realize you might have misunderstood the previous one and so on. You don't get the same sense of progress, and one bit of confusion can throw you off track for a long time.

One contribution would be teach the math in an environment that is like programming. I am not sure what this would look like, but you would learn how to back propagate the derivative through the network, minimizing error at each step and forward propagate the signal. It can't just be a visualization because the student won't engage with it in the same way as a system with negative and positive feedback.
Anyone can flag
Senescent cells can be cannibalized by others. One method involves a feedback system in NRF2 via the modulation of p62. NRF2 activates the expression of many autophagy genes, such as Atg3, Atg5, Atg7 and SQSTM1 during cellular stress response. One component I have been self experimenting with to induce the up-regulation of NRF2 is Sulforaphane. Thus far I have removed cells in my body that were causing eczema.

Disclaimer: I am not a scientist and nobody should self experiment. I simply reached a dead end with doctors and won't accept "nothing can be done" as a valid answer.

What framework/programming language are you planning to use?

If you want super cheap, nothing will beat shared hosting. In most cases, you will have to write your coded in PHP and MySQL. You can get spaces really cheap hosting like 12 USD per year.

For any other framework, you have to use a VPS. Even in VPS there are two types - KVM based and LXC based. KVM based systems support docker but will be expensive. LXC based systems will be much cheaper but can run most frameworks.
Ask HN: Should I exhibit my rough early-stage product?
I have a SaaS tool that is in a very early stage. I'm onboarding my first alpha user next week.

There's a conference for my target tech niche in my town that's coming up in mid-October. Should I exhibit? The cost is $1000 early-bird before Aug 1, or $1500 after. I can decide not to exhibit before Mid-Sept and lose a $500 deposit. This cost is minor to my budget.

I'll have a working product, and I'll have feedback from a few teams at that point. But I'm worried that my product will still be _rough_ and might not make a good impression.

How should I weight the pros/cons?

One side of my wants to stay quiet, and just work with a few - dozen companies I reach out to directly, and spend some more months on their feedback before pushing marketing.

Another side of my thinks it would be better to get more feedback from more people, even if it's an early-stage and kind of rough.

Median rents went up by 30% between 2007 and 2017: https://images.app.goo.gl/m9SwrkpQYhuNBMeaA. That’s 2.6% per year, somewhat higher than the 2% inflation target, but not much.

Housing is hard to gauge because the same house moves up market as areas develop. When I was a kid, Reston (where Google has a big office), was a solidly middle, even lower middle class suburb with old housing stock. Now it’s got a Metro station, tons of new shopping, tons of tech jobs. Reston is, now, what Clarendon was when was a kid. Rents have gone way up in Reston, but that’s not inflation. It’s paying more for a more in-demand, premium product.

(The same thing happens with cars by the way. The Toyota Corolla was once Toyota’s low-end model. Now, it’s a mainstream sedan, with whole nameplate, Scion, filling the market segment previously targeted by the Corolla.)
This is being enforced because of Trump Iran trade policies. I doubt Github/MS would do this unless they had to

I'd disagree with that. Russia seizing foreign territory is an extremely concerning act. The goal could well be to cripple Russia and ideally promote regime change such that she becomes an ally of America; this works towards that.
> the onus is on you to describe what you're talking about.

I'll start with a simple example. I haven't worked with C++ in ages and I hope never to, but in the last C++ file I came across:

Right at the beginning there were 3 different kinds of include/import statements.

One with "" and another with <> and I don't remember what the third was but it had yet another format.

Now, I know what they mean, or I can look it up, and there may be a valid need for the distinction, but it is ugly.

Here's another confusion I was recently reading about:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/516237/when-should-i-use...

I find Assembly and "pure" C a lot more elegant than this nightmarish atrocity.
Firstly: humans don't resist change when it's something that they asked for, they resist things being imposed upon them against their will. There is an incredibly persistent cultural movement in product design that "we know best", this is a very parent-child style relationship: "Mother knows best", that both disempowers and disengages customers.

Yes, yes, yes! A thousand times Yes!

Here's the right way to do a UI revamp: Introduce your powerful, better, shiny new UI as a clone of the old UI. Once the clone is of high fidelity, then introduce the ability to switch to new "skins" or new "modes" which have the new powerful features, or the better UX. Perhaps even set up a scenario with 2 or more competing to win new users.

The proper way is to let users discover and move to the new thing. Imposing new UI/UX on users just degrades goodwill, and it also hides data about where the new version has flaws or needs improvement. Adopting change needs to be a "pull" and not a "push."
It is very odd how vague their product description page is. Naming a product Firefox Reality seems like good marketing: what could be a better brand than all of Reality? However in reality, their site doesn’t say exactly what parent says: Firefox Reality is a browser built for (standalone) XR devices.

Well, we are an increasingly unequal society, and rich people don't need to spend as much as a share of income on consumer goods.
