Plenty of criticisms to be had about bitcoin's scalability but what you said isn't true.

Quite a bit has changed with the prevalance of Segwit transactions, some-to-many Lightning transactions, a lot of Liquid transactions, and transaction bundling. Specifically in reaction to how the network convulsed last bull market and correction.

Yeah it still sucks and is hardly competitive especially on the layer-2 front, but lets at least be accurate about why it sucks lol.

Wrapped Bitcoin offerings are better than native Bitcoin. There is a lot of money being made in helping people wrap and unwrap their Bitcoin for use and trade (not for custody though). It will be very prevalent this cycle. There are a lot of options for people to be unburdened by Bitcoin's layer-1 while being able to manage risk and capture alpha with the market gyrations, in unlimited amounts. All comes down to if people want to learn, this time, but the landscape is extremely different.

The honest reality is that you will want to watch is if Ethereum's capacity can keep up fast enough. If mentioning the Ethereum Network caused a convulsion, then you really need to re-evaluate what is going on. It is acting as a trading portal and center that has almost nothing to do with the Ether cryptocurrency. It has robust Layer-1 trading systems, 10 competing Layer-2 offerings that already work right now which the Layer-1 systems will very quickly upgrade to (bitcoin has 1 Layer-2 system called Lightning, in incremental progress for 5 years and it doesn't work very well), while also being in the process of updating its own Layer-1 consensus layer to increase throughput by two-three orders of magnitude.
1. About 19% IPC improvement

2. Higher clock rates (exceeding the advertised frequency this time)

3. Power consumption basically the same

4. Lower latency for most operations (notably 5 -> 4 cycle FMA)

5. Same process node, same die size

6. Slightly higher price
If you want a third data point, add the trend. Obviously demand is greater than supply and it has been for over 10 years now.

Just call into the browser to do any of those APIs and the problem is solved. The problem is you're taking your C# / .NET libraries for which solution already exist in the browser instead of building APIs around what already exists in the browser.

To put it another way, instead of starting with wrapped native apis and doing wasm last. Start with browser apis and make native ports of those, then you'll get something that works well in the browser and (95% of the time IMO) will work fine in your native version as well.

Sure but the author explicitly rejected scala due to its too-many features, even though he'd have preferred jvm. So it sounds like there is still some opportunity.

I think thats because WASM were not meant to serve those cases.

I see WASM more as an "accelerator". The big chunk of code continues to be Javascript that can consume WASM modules.

I dont think this case of whole complex applications in WASM will fly. It looks like ActiveX 2.0 all over again.

Of course some things will happen as full apps in WASM, but they are mostly tools people already use outside of the Web, so that particular crowd just want to reach the tool, it doesnt matter the medium.

Ask HN: What do Stoics think of Ecclesiastes?
It's not a Stoic book - it's theistic, for one thing. And yet, it seems to me to have some of the same ideas as Marcus Aurelius's Meditations. Not perfectly parallel, but the same big idea, that all this stuff we get wrapped up in is empty.
A really interesting application of this came to mind that seems like an optimal use of this “iron heat battery” from a pure physics perspective.

Each kind of “energy storage application” can be broken down into different properties /requirements that can vary quite a bit.

Real time electricity response for 2-8hr periods so far seems well suited for Li-ion (LFP), given it is electrical energy, speed of response, and that it can be deployed virtually anywhere.

On the opposite end of the spectrum - you have seasonal energy storage (winter in colder climates, for example). When thinking about “energy containers” - Having iron powder doesn’t have the same requirements of alternatives I’ve heard, and seems like it could be the easiest to scale. Physically storing heat requires very large well insulated structures (rocks underground I’ve seen), hydrogen requires compressed gas cylinders, pumped hydro and compressed air needs specific geology (large valleys or large sealed underground caves).

Iron powder? An oxygen free warehouse Amazon sized. Helped that many winter applications ultimately only need heat, this seems like a good candidate that could be rapidly deployed given how on a relative basis - capital light and material accessible this is.
I'm by no means an expert architect yet, but has the argument for microservices in smaller orgs basically become:

"Since y'all can't seem to use classes and interfaces correctly, let's physically separate the software so changing the service contracts becomes a bigger pain in the ass"?

I'm not even trying to be sarcastic. I'm genuinely curious. I feel like 90% of the benefits of microservices would be accomplished with discipline and good code review, but those things of course are more easily said than done.

(I understand your Facebooks and Netflixes benefit from having completely separate teams responsible for services with more autonomy, but I'm talking about small to midsize orgs that seem to have adopted microservices.)
You have good healthcare because someone else is subsidizing your healthcare. If you were contributing your fair share to society you would have to earn more than that to live.

There are many reasons that a society may choose to subsidize someone who isn't contributing their fair share. I agree with some of those reasons, not others.
Not surprising. Lisp Curse has its own way of creeping in, but then again I'd take this any day over cubicle-farm software that is so sterile and stuck up that you need a 2 week long tutorial in order to run anything (I'm looking at you Google with your fancy-schmancy Borg and other inscrutable infra).

The strongest datapoint that I know of that inflation can be driven by expectations of inflation is the introduction of the real in Brazil.

https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2010/10/04/130329523/how-... has the full story. The short version was that they made people list prices in both the existing currency, the cruzeiro, and the new one that didn't exist, the real. They then deflated the real at the same rate that the cruzeiro was inflating. (80% per month.) After a while everyone had internalized that the real did not inflate while the cruzeiro did. Then they started making the real and inflation went from 80%/month to approximately 0%/month.
I said the intention is irrelevant. As I said in the bit you quoted, it's about the content.

It's frustrating, but people often seem to say "discoverable" when they mean "doesn't need a manual" or "intuitive". So CLIs that don't conform to standard patterns, or whose subcommands/options don't make intuitive sense would be "non-discoverable".

But also, well-written manuals and usage/help screens are becoming increasingly rare these days. Technical writing is time consuming and people choose not to do it.
“Expensive” is a very relative term — running high capacity power is something we’re very good at and scales well (it’s not 2x as expensive to increase power availability by 2x). Even with dozens of trucks charging at 100+ amps, it’s no more power hungry than your average industrial site - and it has the benefit of off-peak utilization so there’s much more slack before it would require new generation from the power company.

I love this. I'm too often guessing and doing trial-and-error when trying to get SVG paths juuuust right for my SVG-based virtual tabletop project.
Also, I think this is enabled by default in NetworkManager, which takes over that kernel option when in use.

On servers, not using a temporary address is a sane default.

There are a lot of terrible hosting companies out there. It's a race to the bottom on pricing.

Speaking as a person in the ISP world who's been doing this stuff since 1996, it's easy to run a terrible and shoddy ISP that works most of the time. It's much harder to do everything right and really care about network architecture, engineering and security.

Nice guidelines! Though in my experience, the problem with the python code of < 1000 lines is that it tends to grow when you're not looking, and suddenly you find yourself needing to maintain (or rewrite) a Python monster.

The lack of national standards or national election management body create a system that's especially resilient, because the decentralized, diverse system can handle many failures and still produce something pretty close to a representative result.
My thoughts exactly. Sometimes you need a quick SVG that is too complicated to do by hand but too simple for Inkscape.
Why don’t we push for first class wasm precaching in browsers? Right now wasm libs are limited in interop with JS and DOM. Could we have a .net/JVM like language-agnostic wasm standard lib bundled with all browsers, and target it like we do with .net standard? Then app makers could target a .wasm standard release and if the browser didn’t support it, polyfill in at app start the missing features?
One could implement a rudimentary IPv4 stack in a couple of afternoons. There is not much magic in parsing Ethernet / ARP / IPv4 / UDP. For IPv6, a node needs to speak ICMPv6/NDP/MLDv2 which are all orders of magnitude more complex than their predecessors.
Then how do you prove x% of the voters for candidate A weren't just given the same identifier? This'd defeat the purpose of being able to verify your vote in the first place, something unique to you has to be in the record too.

Yes, I was under the impression that this is what they meant. It would have been great to be able to to chat so that I could learn more about how much this would cost, but as outlined above, they decided to end the conversation.

You're right, currently the server is sitting in "rescue mode" and under OVH's instructions, I'm not allowed to swap it back to the normal hard disk boot. That's ok, I can still mount the disks manually via SSH and move everything out. So at least that's some good news - the server hasn't been seized.

The hosting bill has been paid up until December, so I'll will be looking to get a partial refund hopefully.

Anyways, gotta roll with the punches I guess. Thanks for your comment.
IntelliJ is $149 for a personal license.
If nothing else, a statically typed mess is easier to navigate, understand and refactor than a dynamically typed mess. Which I think is a big deal.
I solve this by using dynamic versioning based on the git tags, and building a wheel of the project outside of the docker-build process, and installing the wheel in the container image. I have to pass in the wheel version as a buildarg though, which kind of blows.
That is what Goetz said is the plan for Java. Move slow, let other languages experiment with language features, and then take the best features and implement them better.
Though he sang the praises of the Hole Hawg, it's worth noting that he later switched to OS X. Usability still matters.

"You guessed right: I embraced OS X as soon as it was available and have never looked back. So a lot of "In the beginning was the command line" is now obsolete. I keep meaning to update it, but if I'm honest with myself, I have to say this is unlikely."

From question #8 of an interview with him in 2004 at https://slashdot.org/story/04/10/20/1518217/neal-stephenson-... His responses to the other questions are entertaining and worth a read as well.

I haven't really been following Bitcoin much recently, but I don't disagree that Tether can have a huge effect.

It seems like evidence of incredible discipline, forethought and prioritization to achieve this. They must have really been thinking about how to build a solid foundation with a clear path for iteration. To achieve it without discovering some bottleneck they hadn't accounted for along the way is really impressive.
I've seen plenty and worked on plenty too, but IME a lot of those issues were at the boundaries of the type system:

Abuse of untyped ViewBags to pass data to views, using ViewBags to pass things to Helpers, badly configured AOP or XML-based dependency injection, people using Dictionaries/dynamic/JSON instead of objects for passing data between application layers...

As soon as you have escape hatches you get those things that make refactoring a nightmare in large projects and cause new employees to always fail to grasp the full-picture because of how fragile projects were.

In the frontend I feel the same about Vuex. It's a great library, way more ergonomic than Redux and the defaults are great, but the fact that actions and getters are untyped by default in Typescript is a major source of bugs in projects I work on, even in codebases with 100% coverage.
It was not originally meant to be fed malicious inputs from the web all day though. I think the majority of the responsibility rests on people plugging it into web browsers.
> Have we really arrived at a point where fact-checking and providing context to a claim is considered censorship?

Because it's censorship. You do realize that the right-wing, muslims, chinese, russians, etc also have "fact-checkers" right?

You just think that "fact-checkers" are correct because you agree with their politics/agenda. But on most controversial issues, it's very hard to "fact-check".

Take abortion. It's clearly the killing of a human life, but it's not murder since the fetus isn't a person. There are lots of ways to "fact-check" and spin the issue on both sides. This is true for every controversial issue from lgbt to climate change.

Fact checking, just like news, is great for uncontroversial subjects. But for important controversial topics, it's pretty much propaganda.

People like you are proof of why censorship is terrible and why we need free speech. Your bias clouds your judgment on facts/reality. I'm pro-choice btw.

I thought this was pretty well known. All you have to do is travel ~2 hours in any direction away from the Silicon Valley and LA bubbles, and you're deeeeeep in Trump territory. I mean, half the counties in NorCal are so red, a significant population want to secede and form their own state. Same with Pennsylvania: It's basically Philly and Pittsburgh surrounded by Alabama. The vast, vast majority of the country by land area is deeply conservative, because it's mostly rural.
I honestly don't see the issue for industrial type machinery. It's not like some Tesla that has to have a sleek body and beautiful styling. Trucks are already big boxes that carry giant boxes behind them.

Why should one of those boxes not be a giant 300kwh battery pack that they swap out at the multitude of weigh stations they have to stop at along the highway already? Just run massive power to the weigh stations, put in a few massive DC chargers and some forklifts.

Hell you could go further and have other parts of the drivetrain in there -- the controller, the charger unit, the DC to DC converter, etc. Then you have an upgrade path for the trucks as the tech improves.
If only it were easier to buy these. All the major retailers were sold out before the chips showed up on the site. The only people who managed to get them were via direct links to the listings.

The funny thing to me is that BTC crashed to $5K from $10K when the pandemic hit. And then it recovered like the stock market.

Correction, if the extract below is true (and emphasis mine):

I might disagree with how "popularity" is computed here, but as long as they have been consistent, the trend is probably real.

IME Java still has a very real stranglehold on business logic code, especially in bigger companies.

Golang and Rust are eating away at it, but more for infrastructure related projects rather than higher-level business logic.

The US went through periods of much higher division in the last 150 years. Whatever fuckery is being caused by Trump is nothing compared to the cultural wars and the Vietnam protests in the '70s, the anti-segregation movement in the '60s, and an entire generation of post-civil war cultural conflict.

It's not necessarily zero-sum. The trinkets may well be worth more to people than the privacy benefit. In fact, if the car owner saves $100 and buys a trinket, they presumably think the trinket IS worth more than $100. Many might happily trade vehicle telemetry for a properly autonomous vehicle that means they could sleep during their commute time.

Moreover, for the general public, money flow is good, even if we think car owner #75834 got duped in how he spent his $100. Buying an extra trinket creates trinket-making jobs, who eat at restaurants, which hire cooks, etc. Estimates vary, but suggest $100 of flow generates an additional $50-$250 in economic activity [0].

Hi, Chicago voter here. The question wasn't about public utility, it was "Should the City of Chicago act to ensure that all the City's community areas have access to broadband Internet?" which can imply a number of contradictory policies, from Chicago setting up municipal broadband to Chicago giving tax incentives to the existing national broadband providers.

Illinois limits ballots to three referendum questions, and questions chosen by higher-up political entities have precedence over smaller, more local ones. The three questions on the ballot for Chicago are chosen by the Cook County Board of Commissioners. (For these purposes, Cook County is equivalent to the city of Chicago plus a couple neighboring suburbs.)

Background established and into personal opinion: The question is in fact deliberately vague. The Board's goal is not to ask three divisive questions getting at the heart of urgent political matters. It is to fill the ballot with three questions to preclude local, less connected authorities from putting inconvenient, compelling questions on the ballot. Here's a 2018 court case reaffirming that (Calumet City is in Cook County): https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/daily-southtown/opini...

These questions are deliberately worthless and it's a waste of time to analyze them for policy guidance.

If you're curious, the other two questions this cycle were:
* In creating its City-wide plan for continued growth and sustainability, should the City of Chicago place equal focus on the goals of resiliency, equity, and diversity?
* Should the State of Illinois restrict the sale or possession of firearms that have been defined as assault weapons or of magazines that can hold more than a certain number of rounds of ammunition?
