Your position on this issue is not based on reason or science, but on dogma.

Nothing is ever really settled. And certainly not that topic in particular. How could it be, considering how controversial it is? (This very topic is another proof.)

>the fact that race is a social and cultural construction rather than some genetic reality

That is an absurd claim. I'm well aware of the sensitivity around this topic. I wish we could research it freely, but I can see why people get very agitated about certain findings. I can see why it's unpleasant. Still, just like you can't research dermatology, immunology and other fields of medicine without taking race into account (the idea that racial differences are only skin deep completely breaks down when it comes to finding bone marrow donors), if it turns out that there are also racial difference in cognitive or behavioral traits, it's important to know for research on diseases like Alzheimer, or indeed for research on psychology, sociology, etc.

Yeah, but AWS is a bit, uhh... just because AWS screws it up doesn't mean everyone else will.

That probably came across like speculation based on AWS's reputation, but it's also my actual experience after going on a U2F spree. Out of maybe 7 or 8 accounts, AWS was the only one that didn't support a backup key. Point is: I don't think it spells doom for U2F. Wasn't it just a few days ago that AWS was allowing password resets that couldn't be used for login because of validation? I don't remember the service, just that I saw it on HN.

Chat is only problematic if all you have is slack, with the lousy threading UX, and the prevalence of DM and private channel.

Still, slack is miles better than wiki pages (go staled immediately), emails (even more broken threading interface), and heaven forbids google docs (impossible for collaboration, may work for bosses).

I think the best solution is something like zulip chat, complemented by wiki pages for "immutable" information.
Okay. I'm afraid to ask. What happens in the case of a) a torrent with no seeders or b) Has seeders with enough data to get a directory listing but either the seeders "drop off" afterwards or are incomplete

It doesn't matter if your thinking is right or wrong. Look what happened to Galileo. If you go against the current on a touchy topic you're done for.
The App Store has always struck me as an example of Joel's 'commoditize your complements' strategy.[0]

Once again: demand for a product increases when the price of its complements decreases. In general, a company’s strategic interest is going to be to get the price of their complements as low as possible. The lowest theoretically sustainable price would be the “commodity price” — the price that arises when you have a bunch of competitors offering indistinguishable goods.

Thus: $0.99 apps.

If you're feeling resentment, it's because you've been thoroughly commoditized to increase the perceived value of Apple's hardware.

(Of course it's somewhat false "value" - infinite shovelware is worth about what it costs.)

MongoDB Performance Fundamentals: Indexing and Indexes
Apparently the battery plant Tesla built in Australia only powers 30k homes which is a tiny amount. They are working to 'double' the capacity, which I assume goes from 30k to 60k.

It seems to be making net-positive amount of money and Tesla built it in record time but sourcing that much lithium to build it for millions of people across the country sounds like a tall order, not to mention the 2-5x costs/time any major public works infrastructure project would add based on recent history of all of them in western countries (for ex: both of Obama's clean coal and solar project went bust, before roll out, after billions spent each and many years, so outright failure of even top-down federal-level projects must also be considered).

I'd be curious to hear an expert speculation on the matter for what a practical battery farm deployment would look like. Which would likely need to exist, assuming we're abandoning backup energy sources like nuclear and natural gas.
it's just difficult to coordinate all these things top down and there's a bunch of extra infrastructure and IT, and more regulation and rules and complexity. People telling you when you can and can't do things, etc. Eh. Seems unAmerican.

But given the total enthusiasm and commitment, I bet it could be made to work. But maybe we have to accept that it's gonna cost more, and that we'll probably lose on other sides. This renewable world just might not be such a nice place. Power would be less taken for granted because it would not always be available. a lot more people would have to work in the industry to keep it going (low EROI for renewables) and they wouldn't be working in other industries. Ironically, that's a plus in the article, which touts immense job creation. lol - not a very good objective. The landscape near populated areas would be dominated with wind turbines and solar plants.
There is no reason, really. People just don't think about using game engines to write applications. This is part of why Flutter instead turned this around, making apps act more like they're in a game engine, with the Skia renderer. Cross platform in this case is just using the renderer for each platform and it works super well. If you like Godot, therefore, you should definitely check out Flutter as it's custom built for writing apps.

A unikernel library could put your key process front and center, only providing a unified way to access the hardware.

Very cool, thank you for putting this together!
I think you're overlooking the cost of regulation and safety-first thinking on society as a whole. Especially as we have a wealth of recent examples as to why the American regulatory regime has failed.

Candidly, this attitude is precisely is how we got into the regulatory hell where we are now.

In principle, I love the idea of licensing. I really do. Take a standardized, state-provided exam to show competence in some area where there is a compelling public interest for regulation, and this grants you the legal ability to exercise that skill.

Want to practice medicine? Exam, plus some number of hours of supervised practice before you can treat patients independently.

Note the complete lack of a schooling requirement -- if you can demonstrate the knowledge during examination, you should be permitted to apprentice under a licensed physician.

In practice... this doesn't work, at least not right now.

Americans as a whole no longer have any confidence in our regulatory frameworks, and rightly so, because they inevitably become weaponized against the very people they are supposed to safeguard, due to the combination of corporate lobbying, and a law enforcement system that rewards "finding and harshly punishing transgressions" over "serving the public interest"

Imagine you want to open a restaurant.

The way it should be is: take an exam to show that you understand how to safely prepare and serve food; have your kitchen, which could be in your home, inspected before you start operations; and at truly random intervals, an inspector will pop by to check in on things.

The way it is: wade through months, if not years, of chasing down permits; buy expensive equipment mandated by constantly-changing laws pushed by massive corporate entities that can afford the compliance game; and deal with very-much-not-random inspection regime which can (practically) shut down your livelihood if you look at them funny.

Until we fix oversight and our culture of punishment, we should be looking to remove regulations, not add more.

The reality is exactly the opposite, at least for less senior (< directors) engineers in Google. You get a promotion (even double) for launching the product and don't have to worry about its technical debts. This is because those less senior employees don't have a real product ownership and why they focus much more on launching a product than its growth. What Google needs to fix is this incentive structure.

I wouldn’t categorize it as technically generic, just culturally. d3.js is incredibly flexible but I can’t count how many d3 graphs I’ve stepped through with the exact same spacing algorithms and interface.
In case HN readers aren't aware of it, I would say most of the reported "tragedies" that you read about involving adults have prior LEO relationships, or in the case of fires, firemen. If you read a national newspaper for long enough, they keep popping up.

Usually it's to create cases that then need solving.

This case is odd because the person of interest appears to be a pro of some kind, and they normally have better things to do, and without press.
Do not connect Samsung home media devices to the internet.[0][1][2][3] If you really want the internet-based multimedia features, get a separate, more secure device such as a Chromecast or Apple TV—and even those aren’t perfect.[4]

How many times are we going to keep making the same mistakes? There is no benefit to connecting a Samsung TV or Blu-ray player to the internet when a $35 Chromecast works far better, has all the same features (plus more), doesn’t break a year or two after you buy it, and is more secure. There’s just no excuse.

People buying $1000 phones are on the upscale range, who would likely be in the PC gaming category if they gamed. Consoles are priced for the mid budget consumer who likely own $600 phones. On top of that, the price-tag of the phone is an amalgamation of several devices into one. The smartphone is so valuable people are willing to pay cost+margins on it and it STILL fully saturates society. The console unfortunately is not that.

What password manager do you use? Have been using Avast PW Manager but appears to no longer be maintained.
And we'll never know which it was... Which is the deeper point.
My big mistake was to use 2FA - more precisely authenticator.

Around the same time my old phone broke and i had to change the password.

I must have mistyped the password while changing it in both fields and since then have never managed to re-access the account. I have old passwords, backup email, previous contacts, phone, ... But i cant restore the password because i hadnt yet set up authenticator on my new phone.

My fault? Probably. But that there's no way out, no option beyond the horrible restore wizard - that's Google's irresponsibility. How many millions must have lost access to their gmail accounts by now?

The root of this conversation, which you replied directly to, is a quote from an Alaskan park ranger criticizing McCandless in quite strong terms. I read the full linked essay that quote comes from, and the park ranger definitely isn't calling for government regulation. On the contrary, he say

> "As a park ranger both at Denali National Park, very near where McCandless died, and now at Gates of the Arctic National Park, even more remote and wild than Denali, I am exposed continually to what I will call the “McCandless Phenomenon.” People, nearly always young men, come to Alaska to challenge themselves against an unforgiving wilderness landscape where convenience of access and possibility of rescue are practically no nexistent. I know the personality type because I was one of those young men."

You responded to this man's informed perspective with a rant about smug people not minding their own business. You and a few other commenters then somehow judo-threw the conversation into a matter of when government regulations / curtailments of liberties are or aren't warranted.
Not sure if the sport has much of a presence near you, but look out for "rogaining". It's basically orienteering without the fixed course: you're given a contour map with targets worth varying values, and given a timeframe to gain the highest tally and return home. Events are typically 3-24 hours.

Something that was a milestone for me was my first 24 hour rogaine in rugged Australian bush. You are out walking all night by light of headlamps and moon. It only takes one event and then you understand more about your potential and fears. The first time, you're wary of the dark, but not again after that point. It will be 3am and while most people are asleep, you're pushing through spider webs up a gully trying to find a target in the dark. Changed the way I think when I'm out in the wild, what I pack by default, etc.
I use Blazor day to day. It’s really awesome. You are trading off ease of development for a potentially laggy UI connection, since each UI action re renders across the wire.

I see it being used heavily for enterprises that know C#, don’t care to learn the latest JS framework, and just want to make a SPA quickly and cheaply.

WASM or client side blazor is definitely interesting, though the client must download the whole .net core runtime when they visit your site.

Open to any questions about Blazor! Big fan of Elixir, but haven’t used LiveView yet.

There's a reason Technical Writing is a class offered in engineering courses in college. When you've read good documentation (HP user manuals from the 90s) and bad documentation (most open-source projects, no judgement, they're crowdsourced and we're lucky to have contributors willing to document things at all), you really get a sense for how valuable this skill is.
Do you really believe there's some conspiracy between Udemy, Medium and the like to drive JS development such that they could get more engagement? It seems that's a reversal of cause and effect, people like to make new stuff which Udemy and Medium were then able to capitalize on, nothing more.
> This resentment runs deep and is stunningly widespread.

Stunning? :) Right.

Daring Fireball conveniently neglects to mention one crucial bit: he is afraid to speak his mind, because he's made a career out of being 'impartial' when Apple is in the wrong, and the biggest fanboy when they get anything right.
()

> Without touching upon the question of who’s right and who’s wrong

Wrong according to Daring Fireball is anything that exposes Gruber as an Apple shill and hurts his ability to continue making a living this way. Right is everything that strengthens Gruber's position of being the #1 Apple shill in the world and his ability to make a living.

It's hard to justify begrudging someone who is amoral and just wants to make a living by doing the least amount of work possible. I am just so filled with contempt - a personal failure on my behalf to feel this way.

---

Somewhat related, to help people understand the 'stunning' resentment towards Apple, the aura of aimlessness and cynicism in America and Western culture:

We live in a corporatocracy [0] (a word that doesn't exist according to dictionary.com and Google's spell check). Almost all of us are wage slaves [1] and those who have a chance at freedom, enjoy their private dinner parties too much to ever speak up for the wage slaves. Why ruffle the feathers of your fellow Aristocrat friends when you're hoping to join or have already joined them?

Don't you know the many perks of being a wage slave master, even if you remain a wage slave yourself?

Oh and those who have become Aristocrat rich? Never have to worry about money rich? Your kids are now part of the Aristocrat family - they'll go to private school, live in gated communities and attend 'elite' universities. You don't need to worry about them wage slaves anymore, they're not as good as you, you were brave and talented in pursuing greed at all costs, you're one of us now, you're not one of them.

Resentment towards the ruling class is centuries old. For a thorough treatment on this topic, there's a masterpiece that spelled this out in a powerful way almost 150 years ago - On the Genealogy of Morality by Nietzsche [2]

Hi,

A quick glance at https://github.com/johang/btfs/blob/master/src/btfs.cc on line 190 reveals that no seeders would result in an infinite wait state: pthread_cond_wait(&signal_cond, &lock);

The author could mitigate this by automatically failing any reads where there are zero seeders and/or if the peer piece map does not contain the block.
The openAPI uses Python flask but to be frank, it makes sense to use the schema to generate client rather then server.
FastAPI and Pydantic can generate openAPI schema from datamodel which does the type parsing for you, if parsing is the use case.
Writing server code with a library that can generate schema is a pro for me rather then keeping up with updates from schema to code.

There was a youtube video series that explains the PID control system very well. It was a professor standing in front of a whiteboard, half body shot and the videos are 10 to 15mins long and about 20 of them. It's now gone I wished bookmarks are forever. It's probably been deleted or made private. He explained the concept very well and the length of the video is just enough so you can absorb what was discussed and take a pause before playing the next video.
