That's interesting. Dreams always were a very interesting topic to me, so I like to hear stuff like this.

For me that's usually kinda how it goes. My dreams are usually rather mundane, borderline formulaic, although at times I can recognize places from my past that are altered (a little or a lot), or it's cleaner/with different materials or stuff like that.
A thing that amuses me and seems to be uncommon, at least from what I hear from other people, is the amount of life. If I dream of a street, it's always going to have a lot of persons moving about. Entirely normal people, not people without faces or anything weird like that. They even remain consistent, like if I look somewhere in the dream, if I look back again, people retains their path and clothing. If I'm a bar or something there will be random patrons who I don't really interact with, but can be seen and heard like if it was a totally normal place.

Another amusing thing is that people claims they cannot read in dreams, but while there are times I have difficulty reading a thing, stuff like billboards or random "decorative" text are clear to me. Exceptions happen, for example a few days ago I dreamed I was doing a school test online on a tiny old-school flipphone and I was struggling to read the questions (didn't help the text was in garish colors, probably remembering something a teacher used to do in real life).

I can also get the feelings of taste, smell and touch, but for some reason the temperature is always "neutral". Like, if I'm dreaming in a hot or cold day, it'll be "neutral" in the dream, even if I later wake up because I'm too hot or cold. At times I dream I'm walking but my legs hurt (like when standing up for a long time) but then I wake up and my legs are in a totally neutral state, not in a bad position or anything.

The biggest drawback is that at times I dream I'm just doing my job (maybe with some minor differences in the room or so) and it feels like doing 3-4 hours of just real life, absolutely realistic work stuff. That is terrible. Once in a while I get a cool nightmare monster or setting (which I parasitize for my creative endeavors. Is it plagiarism when your subconscious came up with it?), but overall it's really mundane stuff.

Also, my dreams tend to be pleasant and chillaxing (like 99%), for some reason when sharing dreams people speaks of dreadful or depressing things or psychedelic nightmares and such. I'm glad it's not the case here. I have had weird psychedelic dreams during times of being extremely sick with fever but otherwise it's like some sort of virtual reality.

Makes me wonder if people who claimed to do stuff like astral walking just had the same "ability" and just had really vivid and realistic dreams instead. I also wonder how much of this is related to narcolepsy (I might be dreaming in a higher state of awareness than most people, but I'm not very wise on these topics).
That's one use for btc that I hadn't thought of. Neat! However one still has to be careful to somehow fund a cold wallet without linking your ID via the transactions.

I.e. to use an exchange like binance or coinbase, I have to link my US ID. So if a government actor were after me, they could easily find out about my cold wallet by viewing my transactions, no?. I guess I could -not- divulge the seed words, but that's assuming I'm not being accosted/tortured either.

I would have to use a btc atm (none near me...), swap a visa gift card for btc (and take a ~10-20% haircut...) or find someone to trade cash for coins, which is its own issue.

I used Firefox back when it was competing with IE and then switched to Chrome for a while because of the performance difference.

But I switched back to Firefox about 3-4 years ago because of the growing Chromium monoculture (which is even greater now that Edge is using Chromium) and because the performance difference isn't really there anymore.

Mozilla has done some great work keeping up with the giants. Lockwise is great. The "Send Tab to Device" feature is great. And they're working on offline voice recognition using DeepSpeech in future releases (Chrome sends all audio to Google for recognition).
Yes, and that's the point. No such effort would be necessary if, as Peterson and Hudlicky imagine, such a situation existed already.
Also see https://superuser.com/questions/540851/go-back-to-not-select... for details on how to disable the clickSelectsAll behavior.

This issue is frankly far more important than the style changes they made. It's a muscle-memory issue that drastically affects daily usage. I was so desperate to restore the sane behavior of not selecting everything on a single click that I was recompiling firefox prior to discovering this workaround.
Not what we're talking about in the OP comment.
I think it was rumours in 2017 with an actual announcement later but in any event I'm not sure using a name on a slide has the same weight as using for a real product being bought by customers.

How long were Ampere planning to use the name before 2017 and then does Nvidia using it on a slide in a presentation force them to change it? Still think Nvidia would lose on this one.

Presenting the use-based pricing model at Bybrand
So I have extensively used hyperapp (1 and 2) for hybrid mobile applications that run the cab of big rigs. We actually won best in show this year at Freight Waves for our two apps.

These are medium/larger apps, with lots of functionality, need to hook into native device features (done with ionic capacitor, and custom plugins), and need to be fast, robust, and flexible. Hyperapp has allowed all of those things.

Hyperapp can and will work, with larger applications, but hyperapp does not have super strict "guide rails" like other more popular frameworks do, so its up to you to design, and implement a clean code base. It ships with minimum overhead, and you can either roll features you need, or see if someone in the community has created them.

I have worked with angular (1,2,4,6) and react for quite a few projects, and I actually work faster, and end up with a better end product using hyperapp. Its an amazing little framework. Sure, not having stricter guide rails you can write very poor apps in hyperapp, it will let you do stuff poorly, but if you play to its strengths, and get comfortable with it, it really shines.
Yes, apps like Venmo/CashApp/Zelle have grown massively in the US over the past 2 years. However, there's still limited options for merchants to integrate these payments into ecommerce systems in a way which allows the customer to make payments through a website.

It's hard to say whether these apps are actually focused on B2C transactions, so far it's almost entirely C2C (P2P).

Show HN: My book on breaking into the software development industry
I’ve had a non-traditional route into software development, teaching myself CS basics. I’ve been lucky in landing gigs in some great places, where I’ve been able to learn a lot. On the way, I’ve been getting more and more questions for advice.

So I wrote a book on what I’ve seen work for me. It’s taken six months, and The Standout Developer[1] is ready (but it’s technically been a six year process). I’m thrilled that it’s finally available!

The book covers how to build an online presence to have access to more opportunities (many of which I have benefitted from), creating a solid dev resume and how to get that resume seen by an actual person - not just the ATS -, how to prepare for the interview, and everything else I’ve learned on the way.

Phew. Have I mentioned I'm super nervous to post on HN?

Try to imagine something you know, rather than imagining something from scratch, as it uses different mental muscles.

Whats worse is Bitcoin's security depends on high fees, but you have articles like this celebrating low fees.

Satoshi intended for bitcoin to scale to hundreds of millions of transactions, all paying sub cent fees. All those fees would add up to millions of dollars per day. The fees are what secure the chain when the block reward runs out. Around 2014/2015 some devs who worked with blockstream started campaigning to keep the block size limit at 1mb. They succeeded and now bitcoin can only process an average of 350k transactions per day.

In order to provide the same financial incentive to miners when the block reward gets too small to matter, the minimum fee on the network will need to be $25 per transaction.

But ye, horray, this whale got to send big cash for a "low fee"
I claim that their statement

"We were able to show that patients taking HCQ have had reduced odds of SARS-CoV-2 infection"

is not true. It's not jargon. It's a false statement given the data that they presented. To "show" that the "odds" are reduced compared to something they have to show the reasonable odds of that something. I don't see them showing that at all, or that their paper actually demonstrated "odds."
There are only 10 cities in the USA with populations equal to or greater than the size of Quito's.

I suspect, living downtown in any of those, your furniture-buying experience would likely be quite similar to the Quito experience in terms of the size of the vendors visited and the modes of transportation used for people and furniture. You probably wouldn't legally be able to ride in the pickup bed next to your fridge, though.

First of all, you are not allowed to have a German account if you are not a resident of Germany.

Besides that, this is not the point of the conversation. The original comment compared SEPA to Bitcoin, saying that SEPA is better since it is free. It is not. There is no law that mandates it to be free and it is de facto not free everywhere (it might be for your use case but not for everyone). It is many times a lot more expensive than Bitcoin. If I also elect to not transact with Greek bank accounts, I exclude 99.9% of the Greek economy since I have no influence on what kind of account my counterpart has.
For me performance is better than chrome by a long shot now. Used to be FF was a memory hog and got slow and clunky. Now if I have 5 windows and 30+ tabs open for days, chrome will slow to a crawl while FF will happily continue to run at the same speed as if 1 tab was open.
> As a side note, I would not recommend this practice for writing code.

Oh, I do! I mean not all the time, but if I have a particularly hard problem I'm working on, pencil and paper and coffee in the morning help me work it out. You're not going to write out pages and pages of code, obviously. But there's just something about scratching out the algorithm or sketching a design freehand on paper that helps my thinking process.

Bonus: I don't tend to need to rely on IDEs writing code for me. And Whiteboards don't scare me in the least.
That strikes me as an uncharitable reading of this article. The guys transporting appliances in a pickup truck are, in some sense, forced to do that to survive. However, the author's point concerns the opportunity they are capitalising on. In this environment, one can start an appliance transport business with a truck and some strong men. The environment of the USA has many more barriers to entry, and that influences the types of enterprises that exist there.

In this case, it's an argument that crash testing should be more expansive and thorough.

For example, if engineers are going to position the driver and passenger airbags for optimal crash test performance, we probably shouldn't just be testing with a male dummy in the driver's seat and a female dummy in the passenger's seat, as in the modern age women often drive.

If engineers are strictly designing to the test, there should be a suite of repeats, putting dummies that are male, female, fat, thin, tall and short in every seat.
This is all possible because China has standardized bank to bank transactions across all banks in the country. It sets the tone for secure P2P transactions at fractions of the cost of a regular Credit Card payment.

This allows people to on-board to WeChat Pay easily through online banking. They also have way less KYC hurdles, so people can go from signing up to sending money in minutes.

US online banking is eons behind China, and almost any other country. So many online banking systems in the US are prone to unauthorized access, which makes on-boarding and security highly inefficient.
You might have misunderstood the author. The author showed us that you can have an efficient system without the vertically integrated middleman corporate structure. He described how it is a novelty and runs differently than what he's used to, but it is the natural course of business in many parts of the world.

This is what comes to my mind from my personal experience. Your customer uses excel spreadsheets to coordinate work. They ask you to move what they are doing in excel into custom software that can be shared with other users. If your not careful as a developer you end up re-inventing excel.

What is more important is to understand what the customer/user actually needs and solve that problem. Often times customers do not understand how software could make their life better.

In other words the customer might be asking for a faster pencil (the current tool) but what they really need is an email system.
>By and large that doesn’t seem to be a big issue for crash tests.

Source? The article provides data as a counterpoint:

>Check to see if crash tests are being gamed with hyper-specific optimization looking at what happens when new tests are added since that lets us see a crash test result that manufacturers weren't optimizing for just to get a good score
Lowering the barriers to open-source contribution has allowed in people who have absolutely no business being there. If you have standards, you get accused of gate-keeping.

I don’t think that applies to modern AMD processors, though.

Agner’s microarchitecture.pdf says about Ryzen “There is no penalty for mixing AVX and non-AVX vector instructions on this processor.”

Not sure if it applies to Zen 2 but I’ve been using one for a year for my work, AVX 1 & 2 included, I think I would have noticed.
Looks still unconfirmed https://decrypt.co/32145/hackers-blackmail-exchange-with-5-m...

>In short, the researchers claim that the hackers have gained access to an exchange’s funds. They are able to send money to certain whitelisted accounts that are marked as reliable in the exchange’s database to—but not to their own. So, they are sending the funds with excessively high transaction fees to sap the exchange’s accounts, and they’re demanding a ransom if it’s going to stop.
I had my life savings (all funds in my bank account) frozen, without notice, without explanation, and without recourse for 3 weeks. They literally couldn’t tell me why my account was frozen besides “social security has flagged the account.” This was at one of the largest banks in US. I never committed any crime or suspected of one, or had any weird transactions. When I protested at the branch asking how I’m supposed to pay rent they said “sorry”. After almost 3 weeks they unfroze it without explanation and offered to pay the bounced check fee for my rent.

Yeah I’d rather have bitcoin. Bitcoin removes the need for banks altogether. I don’t want the banks and government in control of my money.

Thanks for explaining. I think I understand better. Interesting.

At the same time I don't think we should instrumentalize human rights -- human rights are important because their human rights, not because of their potential to increase productivity.

And I'm not saying you're saying anything like that at all -- moreso, I'm responding to the logical implications of the discussion : ).

The importance and value is of human rights is unrelated to their positive or negative impact on productivity.

Some people might like to throw in a "what if" at this point about limited resources, etc. And sometimes in life (like in medical triage situations) people have to make difficult or terrible decisions, but if we believe in human life having an inherent value then that shouldn't be the basis or starting point of our moral reasoning.

The lack of lifecycle events in v2 complicates things a great deal for seemingly no reason. Subscriptions and Events are similar enough that they could have become a single thing, instead of having two highly similar but not-quite-the-same things to grok.

I wish I could call it a strict upgrade instead of saying "some things are worse, but other things are better."
What’s pathetic is the resignation at the end: “we know ads aren’t going away...”, and then the suggestion of making them less obnoxious, “maybe, please, Samsung, could you...?”.

Honestly I think the proclaimed death of intel is vastly exaggerated. AMD came back from worse places and they do still have the manufacturing edge. Intel CPU for desktop still use less power, which is a big plus. How many people do you know that bought the fastest CPU available recently? Glad AMD is back on track, they were in a rough place, far worse than intels current situation.
