100% agreed. I think a few things go into it:

- Americans don’t really get exposed to good lagers and pilseners. We get Bud[1], not Budvar. So there’s no expectation that beers in those categories could possibly be “good”. IPAs don’t have the same baggage.

- For the same reason, it’s easier to differentiate from the big brands on a supermarket shelf. You get to be your own category, not just the more expensive version of what people think of as regular beer.

- Maximalist American food culture. It’s like when bacon became a meme and suddenly everything was covered in bacon. Fatty ramen became a trend for the same reason: it’s a simple, super-saturated flavor that’s easy to crank up to 11.

- Like you mention, it’s easier to brew.

The worst is when you’re given a menu of 40 indistinguishable IPAs all called like “HOPULATOR 9000” or whatever. Sometimes I just want to go out for a brewski, why did that have to get complicated?

[1]You know what? Bud on draft is fine. It’s not the best, but I like it, and I’ll certainly take a $3 pint of bud over a $9 snifter of “gnarly Steve’s surfs up mango hop smasher” or whatever.
Can you comment on the image quality of that vs. a modern LCD TV?

I'm looking to add a TV, large computer monitor, or similar to our living room for PC gaming, XBox gaming, and movies.

I assumed that a projector would be washed out whenever the room's lights were on. Which would be a hassle for people who wanted to be in the living room at the time but were doing other activities.

This has been my experience also with hoppy beers. Sometimes the migraine will start after only a couple of ounces. I mostly drink lagers and wheat beers now.
Well, actually it was introduced after Chrome switched to this same model. So it looked like Chrome is advancing faster because they released a new major version every few weeks and it got more press. I suppose that's why they really switched. If it would be just a matter of the management system you'd better adapt the system instead of version numbers. Anyway, after so many "major" releases the press has died down. So what we have now is version numbers that are quite meaningless because you can't pin major changes in the architecure to version numbers anymore.

RubyConf 2019 – Keynote: Lucky You by Sandi Metz
I love me a good IPA, but there is a certain type of person I call the "IPA bro" who goes out of their way to order whatever has the highest ABV or IBU every time. I think it's like how hot sauce guys must have the hottest thing.

I've talked to many brewers and they said they would love to make more pales and lagers and sessions but that they don't sell.

Just because you're on the coast doesn't mean you have ideal salt producing capabilities.

there are, actually. if you're near Portland I'd discuss over a pint.
-0 can be useful for animation libraries that do implicit animation (not sure about JS, but I have used this with Apple’s CoreAnimation).

For example, rotating 180° from 180° to 0°. How do you control which direction the animation happens? Well, if you want it to go counter-clockwise specify the final value as -0!
I've always wondered why more people don't go for projectors. It's not (or less) prone to bloatware, tracking scripts, and unsavory things of the sort.

Plus, you can get bigger screensizes. Is there something I'm missing apart from the bulb hours?
I think waitlists are a vanity metric
Respectfully, you're continuing to entirely misunderstand how this works.

There isn't double-counting, that's the entire point of the system where "green" producers end up with "dirty" credits, because a "dirty" pays that "green" provider to take its credits in exchange, to prevent double counting.

But the notion of which sort of credit you buy and what sort of energy you actually produce are two separate things.

As an example Iceland is exempt from certain EU/EEA energy efficiency regulation because of its near-100% use of green energy, even though its power companies have something like >80% "dirty" energy credits on hand.

This is because the regulators can distinguish between a "dirty" power plant with 100% green credits on hand (i.e. they've subsidized a "green" power plant) v.s. a "green" power plant with 100% green credits on hand.

> There is no need for them to sell
> many of those credits, as evidenced
> by the fact that they don’t even transfer
> much of that power.

I think this is the crux of the issue and shows just how thoroughly you're missing the point of this system.

The electron that comes through your socket doesn't need to be generated by a "green" power plant for you to consume "green" energy, this is because electrons are fungible.

Of course we also want to shift to 100% green energy power plants, but in the meantime energy demand is also elastic. The point of the energy credit system is to shift electricity demand from areas that supply real "dirty" energy to those that supply "real" green energy.

This happens because a "green" power plant in Norway might sell its energy for 20 cents/kWh, which would be the same as a "dirty" power plant in Denmark. But if the "dirty" plant needs to buy "green" credits from the Norwegian one it might have to raise its prices to 25 cents/kWh, and the Norwegian one can lower them to 15 cents/kWh.

This would then have the effect that an energy consumer (say a factory) might move its operation to Norway to benefit from cheaper energy, or consumers would buy the subsidized Norwegian product over the Danish one.

Except for the small detail that it doesn't actually have much of an effect from a macro-economic point of view, but that's because we collectively think this whole climate change thing isn't really all that important, and thus the energy credits are relatively cheap and add almost nothing to the end-user price.

But that's the fault of political priorities, the system itself is relatively elegant and would have more of an effect if its designed was backed up by larger political commitments.

I think Facebook has been very successful at instilling FOMO in people. People are paralyzed by the fear that they will miss out on this or that if they leave, which is great for their retention.

I quit using Facebook close to 10 years ago, yet I still have a robust social life, communicate regularly with friends and family, participate in hobbies (even ones who unfortunately moved their community to FB) and do all of the above without the unhealthy “like-obsessed” feedback loops. It’s great!

But when you tell people it’s possible to live without Facebook, all you get are lame excuses about why their case is special and they couldn’t possibly do it themselves!

Sustained at more voltage = more degradation. There no way around that according to their own graphs.

To put some number on it, my Mac has been plugged in 100% for a few hours and is at 12.951V or 4.32V per cell which is very high and the graphs show it will degrade quickly at that voltage. So even with this feature, I'm still negatively affected by keeping it plugged in.

For the record, my Mac is at 6553mAh of 6871mAh which is really 95% which implies the feature is on and active and still at 4.32V!

How would that work with adding new books and metadata? IPFS archives are immutable, right? I think something like Dat might be better because the people with the secret keys could update the archive and everyone else would automatically seed the updated version
What I like is that the clients were written years ago and weigh almost nothing. I can leave them running in the background on even the wimpiest trash netbook and it doesn't care.

>I have a personal theory that the overwhelming aroma and taste of hops in a beer can be used to mask many errors and missteps in the brewing process, which might be more easily tasted by the customer if it were, for example, a weissbier.

This is exactly it. An IPA is much more forgiving to lackluster consistency of material inputs and process control making it a perfect match for small operators that don't have those things dialed in yet (or can't afford to dial them in)
It only works if you sell a hugely priced item/service.

After reading about all the flaws in automatic online advertising through clicks on this thread, it looks like a big scam prospering more or less in favor of opacity, lack of fine tuning or targeting and fraud.

Referral systems and social influencers seems to be a better option, as long as your product is good and would not shame the ones endorsing it. Betting on viral marketing and endorsement seems to be more natural and a better bet, but require maybe more work and preparation than blind automatic system.

The hard part should be understanding the theorem. If you understand that and the code is still difficult, then the code should be better written.

That doesn't apply here, unlike with WSL.

Microsoft has a huge problem: thousands of coders who aren't disciplined enough to write reliable code. They need a language to provide the needed discipline. They tried making their own language, and now understand that they are not good enough at that, either. Rust, or a fork of Rust, might suffice.

They are not interested in displacing Rust from wherever it is being used. They just need something for their things, that their customers can also use. Lock-in is exercised farther up the chain.

What's your point? Not having proper oversight is a different beast than big pharma trying to gain control.

I've spent nearly $100,000 over the last 3 years on stem cell treatments because they permanently heal injuries. I researched doctors and clinics first, felt them out along with their knowledge, and then have done plenty more than a single treatment with them because they proved to know what they were doing. Certainly that doesn't negate bad actors who will take advantage and don't have enough knowledge or proper protocol to maximize outcome, however once again, you shouldn't be so pessimistically dismissive nor confounding issues when trying to argue a point.

We also built and shipped a deterministic multiplayer WebGL game[1], but using CoffeeScript[2] + C++ -> Emscripten/dylib/DLLs to run the game in the browser and on Windows and Mac.

Our game would snapshot the entire game state every few seconds and send that back to server to detect desyncs and cheaters. Floating point math, to our astonishment, was not the source of any non-determinism.

I'm 80% sure that only source of non-determinism we encountered were from trig functions, so we just hard-coded lookup tables.

> please support this assertion with an ORM whose documentation promises this.

I don't think any ORM would officially claim that, but many people decide to go that way to avoid SQL. For many simple examples it looks simpler than SQL.

I also experimented myself and wrote my code using SQLAlchemy's ORM. Then edited my code to use psycopg2 natively. I realized that SQLAlchemy didn't save any code for me, in fact it was more verbose. It also heavily encouraged me to get the raw data from database and do processing of it in the application. It also did unnecessary extra queries.

So with it now I need to:

1. still understand SQL

2. trying to figure how to write the SQL statement using ORM

3. figure out how to make ORM not to do extra queries

> as does "SELECT * FROM table" if you don't write out the fields and use a buffering database adapter (which is the case for nearly all Python database adapters), so, when using an ORM, you need to give it instructions over what columns you need to fetch. This is not unusual nor even anything a library could possibly guess for you if you do not give it this intent.

My problem is that in addition to knowing SQL, I also need to know how to do in that specific ORM that's for the specific language I'm using.
> Coffee and cocaine are worlds apart. Most people don't have jobs that would work with a coke addiction. Freud was exceptional and I think he did most of his influential work not under the influence anyway.

I have no caffeine tolerance as I rarely use it. Every time I have an espresso, the experience is practically identical to doing a bump of cocaine. The effects are so similar it's something I'll do when feeling nostalgic about past coke-filled city life years. I've been assuming others who enjoy an occasional espresso have similar memories being relived by the sudden stimulation it delivers.

Speaking of those coke-filled city life years, quite a few of my peers developed expensive coke habits and they were perfectly functional and many climbed their respective corporate ladders quite successfully while addicted to this substance.

The only thing separating cocaine and caffeine by a gap miles apart is cost and access.

If you can afford and access clean product, coke is a very productive and perfectly functional drug. I suspect most sociopathic high-level executives use it regularly, as it really amplifies that side of one's personality, which isn't necessarily undesirable for leadership roles at large organizations.

Don't forget cocaine once was in Coca-Cola. That wouldn't have occurred if it interfered with people's jobs.

I've thought that we could potentially build an end to end encrypted datastore within Polar and possibly add IPFS support to potentially help with this issue.

Here's a blog post about our datastores for some background.

https://getpolarized.io/2019/03/22/portable-datastores-and-p...

... essentially Polar is a PDF manager and knowledge repository for academics, scientists, intellectuals, etc.

One secondary challenge we have is allowing for sharing of research but I'd like to do it in a secure and distributed manner.

Some of our users are concerned about their eBooks being stored unencrypted and while for the majority of our users this will never be a problem I can see this being an issue in countries with political regimes that are hostile to open research.

In the US we have an issue of researchers being harassed over climate change btw. Having a way to encrypt your knowledge repository (ebooks) would help academic freedom as your employer or government couldn't force you to give them your repository.

But what if we went beyond this and provided a way to ADD documents to the repository from a site like LibGen?

Then we'd have the ability to easily, with one click, encrypt the document (end to end) and added it to our repository.

If we can add support for Polar to allow colleagues to share directly, this would be a virtual mirror of LibGen.

Alice could add books b1, b2, b3 to their repo, they could then share with Bob, only he would be able to see b1, b2, b3, then they would generate a shared symmetric key to share the books.

No 3rd party (including me) would have any knowledge what's going on.

I'm going to assume our users are not going to do anything nefarious or pirate any books. I'm also certain that they're confirming to the necessary laws ...

The challenge though is that while we'd be able to have a mirror of LibGen and more material, it would be a probabilistic mirror - I'm sure we'd have like 60% of it but the obscure material wouldn't be mirrored.

Right now our datastores support just local disk, and Firebase (which is Google Cloud basically). While we would encrypt the data end to end in Google Cloud I can totally understand why users might not like to use that platform.

One major issue is China where it's blocked.

Something like IPFS could go a long way to solving this but it's still very new and I haven't hacked on it much.

I would disagree with that characterization and would instead say that DynamoDB's lack of portability between vendors made it a non-optimal solution. The services I work on need to survive specific vendors going out of business.
I think you're missing the point here, the conversion function is trivially inlinable:

char* sds_cstr(sds *str){
return &str[0]; //you could probably just cast too
}

The other posters solution is actually not equivalent in this way (his sds is convertable to char* instead of sds*).
Right, but I wonder how many businesses are created based on an 'inspiration' from new AWS services vs. those who aren't already running similar things and don't value the created IP as a competitive advantage; thus just move over to AWS.

This is fairly trivial for packet nerds using bro/zeek, pihole and iptables.

Zeek (or wireshark) can revel what domains and ip addresses are being accessed. Pihole and iptables can block those addresses. Pihole needs to be the only DNS allowed and iptables needs to be running in between the TV and its path to the internet.
"Experts" are especially prone to groupthink, this has been shown numerous times.

People can be "informed" about something and still need to shut-up about it, when it's politically incorrect / represents a unpopular view, when it puts their income / reputation at risk, etc.

Experts have more to lose, so they are especially vulnerable to this sort of pressure.

An Update on Android TLS Adoption
I didnt vote that down since I can explain - base load is a theoretical fraction of electricity demand, not a separate physical entity. Renewable supply competes for whatever anyone wishes to categorize as "base load" the same as it competes for "peak loads" and "moderate loads" - renewables sell when they make power for any load.

You have no "base load" once such competitors are involved because half the time they are bidding for all of the load. Separating off a base load deal is then an artificial arrangement. Your supplier who can only economically supply a certain level is no help when your renewables fall short, and they are an expense when your renewables surge and offer cheaper power. Once renewables are in the mix you want economical dispatch-able supply. That means batteries for frequent sub-daily power deficits, and existing fossil moving to carbon neutral fuels for less frequent deficits.

There is no effective nuclear construction industry today that can stop renewables getting big in the mix, and the bigger renewables get into it, the less attractive "base load" power purchasing contracts become for buyers. There is talk about making nuclear competitively dispatchable with molten salt reserviors - that's just a nuclear plant and molten salt battery. The battery is the economical part.
Nuclear will continue to be an expensive side project for many governments which can afford it, sometimes completing a project, sometimes giving up as they do after multiple cost increases and delays, but it is practically finished in competitive industry by the arrival of advanced solar and wind.

Do you have any sources that back that statement up? Google's accusations are very explicit about what these people were doing:

This includes searching for, accessing, and distributing business information outside the scope of their jobs — repeating this conduct even after they were met with and reminded about our data security policies. This information, along with details of internal emails and inaccurate descriptions about Googlers’ work, was subsequently shared externally.
