Private keys and addresses are not the same thing.

In the current model, if you get my social security number, checking account number, or credit card number, you have it. I have to trust you not to use it for something bad.

At least in BTC, if you have my public key, it doesn’t matter. You can’t do anything with it.

But in the current system, we are expected to give away this sensitive information all the time. In the BTC model, you (practically) NEVER share you private key with anybody.

The BTC equivalent would be giving your private key to everybody who you have even any sort of relationship with, and just hoping they don’t do anything you don’t want them to. It’s absolutely insane how we treat this stuff right now.

Show HN: A more ergonomic sed using JavaScript regexes
I love `sed`, but specifying in-place replacement across linux/mac is challenging, and I find both the regular expression options hard to remember the exact syntax for.

So I built a small wrapper around String.prototype.replace to give the syntax and power of javascript regular expressions (and, optionally, javascript functions):

https://github.com/ariabuckles/jsed

Or to install:

npm install -g @ariabuckles/jsed

Some examples:

You can use it pretty similarly to `sed`:

echo "this is a test" | jsed '\w+' 'word:$&'
> word:this word:is word:a word:test

Or you can use it more like javascript when needed:

echo "1 2 3 4" | jsed '/\d+/g' '(num) => num%2 == 0 ? "even" : "odd"'
Sounds like a pretty tight-fisted workplace. You would think they'd want to encourage employees to sustainable transport, not try to make a profit on charging.

Who's eyes should be on the road 100% percent of the time. Lack of tactile feedback is automatically poor UX so there is no such thing as a quality solution when it comes to touchscreens in cars. I can't believe it's even an argument to be had, it's such an obvious bad choice, no one should have even attempted it in the first place.
Admittedly it is still a small compromise, but I’ve done 8 hour road trips in my Tesla to go snowboarding in Vermont and having to stop and charge adds under an hour to the trip. The Volt does seem like a great car, but to me it’s not worth the maintenance/space/reliability compromise of a gas engine in exchange for not having to take a relaxing break every few hours when I’m road tripping; obviously my values may be different but to me the extra time spent feels pretty inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

The problem with that is that many, if not all, people have the attitude of: that is a publicly funded good, paid for in part with my money, so why shouldn't I have access to it?

What you seem to argue for with this is the privatization of our public spaces. Otherwise how do you ensure access to the publicly funded public good? Or am I way off base with this?

If I call you on the phone, I expect a synchronous response.

If I text you, I expect an asynchronous response. It's ok if you get back to me 3 hours later (well, context-dependent).

If I call you, ask you a question, and then you wait 3 hours before giving me a response, I've been sitting there blocked for 3 hours, unable to get any more work done, because I asked for a synchronous response and got an asynchronous one. Even worse, if you try and give me the response over text, I won't see it because I have the phone pressed to my ear and now I'm blocked forever.

---

The caller and callee have to agree on whether the communication is synchronous or asynchronous. Asking for synchronous and getting asynchronous doesn't work. Asking for asynchronous and getting synchronous kind of works, but that's not truly synchronous, that's just asynchronous with zero delay before getting the response. Or even worse, asking for asynchronous (and giving you a completion handler to fire) and you fire it synchronously before returning control to me, that way lies madness. Don't do that.

What happened in this case was that people used the literal value "NULL" to mean "I don't know". They could have used the word "LOLCAT" and the effect would have been the same. Overuse of in-band signalling is a general design flaw not specific to any programming language. (Remember when people would whistle a 2600Hz tone to make free phone calls? Same thing as this.)

I for one can really identify with the comment the author made about the "grey" in cubicles. My work used to have exactly those cubes and after a while it almost felt like everything looked grey and walking outside where there was color was so refreshing. It was like the difference between the Moon and Earth.

In fact I wrote a poem on my blog about this very experience of being in a cube:
http://www.actinginbalance.com/square/

Now, they replaced our cubes with open-office. Actually, it is less grey but still does feel very limiting, we have a lot less space, and it is noisy.

The question is not whether a type system will catch bugs. The question is whether a type system finds enough bugs that tests (sufficient to cover the things that the type system does not catch) would not also catch.

I'm guessing you're an engineer (please correct me if I'm wrong). And what you're effectively saying is cars aren't designed to last longer than their warranties, and in fact you don't even have data on what happens afterwards. It sounds like you're passively participating in obsolescence, even if it's not intentional. Apart from that, the people actually selling the cars absolutely have a financial incentive for the cars to fail as soon as the warranties are up, which is conveniently when you stop looking at the data.

One of the surprising facts in the article is this:

The author explain why this is true a few sentences later- the change is being

>driven primarily by the conversion of frequently burning savannas to agricultural areas.

I wonder if this is one of those "humans accidentally geoengineering a few more years of habitability into the planet" things, like the global chilling effect that our pollutants have when they're highly reflective of light. Only, in this case, by preventing fires we're keeping more carbon locked into plants. (This is obviously a gross simplification, but this could be a possibility, right?)

What is it about the driving that doesn't seem reasonable for a computer to deal with? I've never been.

Often what appears to be hard is because it hits things that are hard for humans. Full 360 degree constant coverage isn't a problem, fast reaction times are easy (so if it's about quickly stopping/starting that should be easily better). Complex parts come from more "human" standards, if you can only come out of a junction easily by making eye contact with an oncoming car for example.

It's not causing climate change, though. That's saying nothing of their ethics, or how the impact their activities are having particularly with the accelerating climate emergency, but it's a matter of critical focus that we stop CO2 emissions, not divest companies that are unethical (admirable, but entirely separate).

For what it's worth, that is precisely how this effort will be gaslit. Divide and conquer.

Like you, I'm fairly confident that developers don't fit into these "categories" as cleanly because they aren't addressing the work environment (ie process).

Are either of these actually happening? I see a movement towards a gig economy and side hustles. I don't know if there's actually a move towards workers standing up for their rights.

Same goes with regulation - there are definite corners of society who would like that, but those who are in power, who are in power because of the people, clearly don't.

To be sure, there is no way to prove causation from correlation. Perhaps it was a giant coincidence in timing. But I wouldn’t say there is “NO” evidence to support the thesis that men got offended:

There is no evidence that the "best a man can get" ads pushing back against sexism and bullying contributed to the $8 billion figure.

That doesn’t matter. If a cursory visit doesn’t inspire confidence, users will back out and that will look like low engagement/low value to Google’s ranking analysis.

It is encapsulation with the mandatory law stating that an encapsulation of an encapsulation must be as deep as a single encapsulation.

Note that this informal statement doesn't necessarily mean you have to be encapsulating data. A behavior, a contract, an assertion, compositions of all of these etc can also be encapsulated.

Fun ideas (not necessarily true but fun to think about):

* Monads kinda convert nesting to concatenations.

* A monad is the leakiest of the abstractions. You are always a single level of indirection away from the deepest entity encapsulated within.

* What's common among brackets, curly braces and paranthesises(?) is them being monadic if you remove them from their final construction while keeping the commas or semicolons.

Seems not pessimistic enough to me. Realistically most people would capture on average, while the sun is up, about 100 watts if they covered their car in solar panels. A car needs at least 10 KW to cruise at 60 mph. This means you need to charge for 100 hours for 1 hour of driving. Actually 200 hours because you can't charge at night-time.
Does anyone think we can solve this? Or is all hope gone? By now I’m at a point where I try to come up with a good explanation for my daughter once she’s old enough about how/why we all didn’t give a shit about climate change “back then”
I thought that as well. Totally anecdotal, but after switching off of CloudFlare and onto a dedicated IP, our rankings increased within 2 weeks. We track algorithm changes through SEMRush, who did not report an algo change around the time the rankings increased. In addition, we actually saw an increase in page load times because the assets were no longer being served via CDN.

Yes, it's a very personal decision.
No, think of it as a convention or a framework. While it's ok to wait for asynchronous code to finish in your synchronous code, it's not ok to do threading from within your asynchronous primitives, so you wouldn't need threading synchronization primitives.
i guess nil wouldn't work either - it probably worked because of sql NULL keyword.

Holy crap, no. They are tilling over carbon sinks (grasslands) and ruining them. I don't know that we know enough about soil biota (and the impact of the various agricultural products that typically come along with this conversion) to know how long, assuming it is even possible, to reestablish them. It's horrible news.

OpenCensus is a Google project to standardize metrics and distributed tracing. It's an API spec and libraries for various languages with varying backend support.

OpenTracing is a CNCF project as an API for distributed tracing with a separate project called OpenMetrics for the metrics API. Neither include libraries and rely on the community to provide them.

The industry decided for once that we don't need all this competing work and is consolidating everything into OpenTelemetry that combines an API for tracing and metrics along with libraries. Logs (the 3rd part of observability) are in the planning phase.

OpenCensus Web is bringing the tracing/metrics part to your frontend JS so you can measure how your webapp works in addition to your backend apps and services.

Yes and no.

The Kilopower design is not an RTG (Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator). Those rely on the decay of a heavy element like plutonium to generate heat, which then generates electric power using a thermocouple.

Kilopower is making an actual fission reactor, which generates heat from the chain reaction of fissile atoms splitting each other. Another difference is that their design will utilize a linear-actuating sterling engine to convert the heat to electricity.

That being said, you're correct. The management of thermal flux and particularly discharging waste heat is hugely important to keeping this design working and efficient.

I had a car—a 1971 Toyota Landcruiser FJ55–that technically had a tilde(~) in the VIN. It was in the format: FJ55~123456. When I bought it, the title had the VIN as FJ550123456. I just accepted and ignored it for a while, but when I decided to sell the car, given that most of my potential buyers were out of state (and in most states, out of state purchases require a VIN inspection) I tried to get it fixed. After six months of working The motor vehicles department here, getting an inspection by state police, and everything else, I found out that their software couldn’t handle and non-alpha numeric characters. In the end they decided to change the title to FJ55123456 so it skipped the tilde but didn’t replace it with a character that didn’t exist on the vehicle.

Of course, because being a passive consumer who only asks a counterparty for your options never changes anything.

What you say is "I need a copy of the exact information you're basing this decision on", and inform the bank and its sources what statements are actually not true. If the bank defers to trusting the surveillance bureaus, and the surveillance bureaus refuse to recant the false statements, then you have a strong case for libel with actual damages on top of the procedural recourse in the industry-written laws.
