Semantics. Any hard fork that majority of miners do not accept and support becomes it's own branch and a separate crypto.

This is why I reference the bitcoin block size debacle. Bitcoin Cash was created as a hard fork that miners ultimately did not accept and is now just a dwindling alt coin.
Sure! First you will have to support your claim that they do so.

Edit: I enjoyed making this joke, but I think your ideas do have a lot of merit.
Of course it also means extra effort to make them less alien on MacOS and Windows.

While less than popular, I'm more inclined to just target Electron or Carlo and leave it at that for my UIs. I know that it's much higher overhead, and if I was doing something with a minimal UI, or something that persisted in a tray I'd probably reach for something more minimal. It really depends on the use case.

React Native options may be another target that I might look into if I needed native, thought he UI kits aren't quite as interoperable as I'd necessarily like, it's a pretty decent option.

I mostly do full-stack service layers with react/web ui these days so anything that leans on what I already do is likely the best use of my time. A browser surface, while massive, memory hungry etc, is still often the best option for any app UI work as it solves so many issues and can run everywhere. It's the combination of those two that make it so appealing. Reducing friction. Of course it's also why we have mobile devices with 4gb+ ram on them these days.

On same note, developing VR from inside is incredible and it quickly turned into my #1 hobby. At first you are surrounded with blank space, then you slowly fill it out with whatever reality rules you can think of.

I went with code-only approach (no binary assets) and built a primitive development environment that works in VR. Now I have a neat little virtual shed with different experiments and demo projects. Geometrical landscapes, driving & flying, teleporting, various gizmos...

Currently I'm tweaking physics engine to work with hand tracking skeleton. Masses connected with springs turn out to be amazingly palpable even without any haptic feedback and with simple cartoonish visuals.

VR is already fun and we're in for a wild ride once AR hits the market.
It's definitely not street legal... not with the jet engine running at least.

Looking at vehicle total sales figures is a very bad way to determine what families drive. Those numbers you cite include corporate fleet sales, which heavily skew domestic truck sales figures. Nor are all of those trucks in a crew-cab configuration.

I'll be interested to see what this sells for. Passion projects like this often have surprisingly little resell value.
I don't think the current incarnation of VR will ever take off. It's too inconvenient to need to block out everything around you with a headset. It's fundamentally incompatible with human behavior. Until VR is as convenient as picking up a phone or tablet, it's not going anywhere.
>Either you care about this entire class of channels, and you do all of those things, or you don't, and

This vastly simplistic, binary belief that all such channels are a simple on/off is not at all practical. Every mitigation has costs and tradeoffs. Your argument is as simple as saying "don't have information, voila, no information to steal. Simple!"

In real life, blocking has costs, blocks have leaks and openings.

An excellent example is you write "block sound/vibration" as if that's a simple on/off process.

In real life, there are degrees of vibration, degrees of cost, hindrances and benefits to each possible continuum of solutions, etc.

A really funny example of this is your claim "Faraday cage, bye bye RF. Etc." when this group you mock has papers showing how to escape a Faraday cage. And no Faraday cage is perfect. And it's insanely impractical to put all data in the world in Faraday cages.

And note this: all Faraday cages leak. It's simple physics. Thus it's good to know design parameters for the various modes of possible signals to design the best Faraday cage for a given situation.

If they ever get to using gravitational signals, good luck with shielding :)

>Indeed, if advanced modulation and processing were used, that would be useful research

Then you'd simply say well "that's simply modulation! Where is the real research?"

I think you are vastly oversimplifying the real world and how threats are dealt with in practice.

The Covid frenzy reminds me something that happened in my friend's village.

Four small apartment rooms burned down affecting four people.

The village went into a frenzy of help and concern. They had multiple fundraisers to raise money for the affected. Local news would go to local businesses to film them putting together care packages. People on the street would be interviewed about the disaster where the interviewee would quickly sneak in what they're doing to help the cause. The local news cycle was deep-diving on the history of each affected person to show what a good person they were, and they were filmed receiving all sorts of gifts and comically large charity checks. Facebook feeds are constantly lit up about the disaster and how everyone can pitch in a hand.

Two months later some living quarters burn down killing one and putting twenty people out of a home. But it barely even makes the news and nobody really utters a word over it. The village has already blown its concern load.

We humans have this weird laserbeam of attention, and what it will focus on is a true lottery, and when it focuses on something it ignites it and it burns to a crisp and it gives us our fill for a while, and we ignore everything else.
That's not a price, that's a feature.

If your use case doesn't consider avoiding noncritical behaviour changes for a decade to be a feature, you have other options.

My experience is that people are getting increasingly isolated anyway, so VR is great in this regard for more and more people. Even when people are social they're increasingly glued to their phones, and distant from each other.

A friend and I bought quests and we both loved them except for one really annoying problem: space

At least as of early 2020, there was a huge market mismatch with VR: the people that have 6'x6' or more space to play in live far out in the suburbs, but the people that have the disposable income to just by a quest just for fun tend to live in apartments in the city. My friend and I both had pretty spacious living conditions for living in a city, but we perpetually joked about the dream of one day having enough room that the occulus didn't warn about having less space than required.

But with the sudden migration of many people out of cities and into more spacious suburban housing I'm curious if this will create an increase demand for VR. If you have an extra 10'x10' room that can dramatically change how fun the VR experience is.
Thanks for the suggestions. I was mainly recommending Twitter as a jumping off point.

That's what I thought too, but then the post says "That said, I do enjoy the occasional blast down the highway." and suddenly I'm not so sure...
Never. If you surpass a certain technological threshold it will start to get worse rather than better.
> Clojure IDE "Cursive" is supposed to be good, but never tried and not sure if you want to invest time in an ad hoc IDE.

Cursive is just a Clojure plugin for IntelliJ , nothing ad-hoc about it. IntelliJ is the favourite IDE for lots of people - especially Java devs - so it's an obvious choice for Clojure developers.

I've programmed Clojure professionally for several years now and have seen maybe 50 different editor setups in person and I've yet to be significantly impressed by emacs. It does seem to offer most of the stuff that comes out of the box in IntelliJ (with the Cursive plugin), but only after many hours of setup and days to weeks of getting comfortable inside its somewhat antiquated UI paradigm. Nothing against emacs, but I just haven't seen the great case for using it over something like Cursive, other than if you need to develop commercial software and don't wanna buy a commercial licence for Cursive. A bunch of people at my old job actually switched from emacs to IntelliJ a couple of years into their Clojure journey.

I do see the obvious advantage of using emacs if you're already a heavy emacs user, however. And if some Clojure-specific kiler feature pops up in emacs, I'll probably switch to emacs too. Until then, I'll stick to Cursive which covers all of my various Clojure needs very well out of the box.
According to that TWiV episode, such tests could cost just $1.

So, according to your estimates of 2 billion tests per week, that would make for $2 billion per week, not $60 billion per week.

As for shipping, the tests need not be shipped via USPS nor need they be shipped individually to every person.

They might be locally manufactured, there could be centralized distribution locations, and people could stock up for a month's or a year's worth of tests at one time, greatly reducing shipping costs (assuming enough tests could be made, of course).

The tests could also be at the very least targeted at locations where there are a lot of infections, further reducing how many tests would need to be manufactured and used.
Note that GOG has decided not to sell the game entirely and the cited reason is the "user comments" that came in during the hours between the announcement being made and the bail happening. Everywhere that I can see, the user comments are against this Chinese censorship, not for it. Leads me to believe that there was really only one comment that came in during those hours that mattered and it certainly wasn't from a gamer's tweet.

They didn't just decide to sell it everywhere but China... Also note that the newest version of Devotion, which I assume would be the one being offered for sale, already has the offending Xinnie the Pooh reference removed.[0]

Mark my words that the next step in China's soft power game here is to have entities like GOG remove any game that has a world map where Taiwan isn't explicitly marked as a province of China - the way they've done to airlines.[1]

Look at Abominable to see the strategy being implemented in movies.[2]

> So in relation (for this particular scenario) the USD is undergoing hyperdeflation..?

Relative to computers/processing power, yes, although you generally wouldn't describe it that way, since USD is (comparatively) stable with respect most other stores of value - it's computers that are changing in value, so it's computers that should be described as undergoing inflation.

Relative to (the relevant average of) other stores of value, dollars are undergoing inflation, just more slowly than computers.

I'm sure. However the previous comment was lamenting that the government didn't do this for us at the beginning. Even If the test existed (it didn't), and had the money to do so (which is also huge), scaling manufacturing is a real challenge, mailing to 128m households is a huge challenge.
Thank you!

> Why not spend on paid acquisition? A bit of marketing and sales focus would have gotten you to $8k in 2 years, not 10.

We did try it, IIRC we had a budget of around $2k - but nothing even came close to working.

It's very possible that our messaging or targeting was wrong, or perhaps we tried the wrong channels, but we did take a whack at it.
> So you are saying our hospital beds and staff are fixed immutable resources and that in an emergency all other variables must be sacrificed in order to not exceed those fixed immutable resources?

Absolutely. Steve the UberEats delivery driver can be moved into the ICU, putting folks on ventilators and providing critical care in a week or so, right?

And Gustavo, the busboy can be out providing EMT services in just a few days, right?

A doctor requires 8+ years of post-secondary education, in addition to several years of on-the-job training.

An RN requires at least 6+ years of post-secondary education, plus several years of on-the-job training. LPNs even longer.

So, yes. In the short term (~6-18 months), staff are most certainly fairly fixed resources.

As for hospital beds, those are limited to the square footage available for them. Sure, temporary hospital wards can be constructed and put in place fairly quickly, but unless Steve and Gustavo are staffing them, you still have a big problem.

Ask HN: Do you keep a document of important work things for yourself?
And is it unusual or bad if I don't?

I've been advised by some people that I should keep at least a Google document to list accomplishments and to update on a regular basis, as I work. I guess it's more so because I usually mentally recall my accomplishments for past jobs to write up my resumes, or rely on older resumes to recall work from past jobs. These resumes and my LinkedIn page are the most persistent documentation I have of my career.

Is it unusual to not keep track of your accomplishments on a more granular level? Do most people keep a personal "brag document" to recall things from past projects or items in case they come up with work later? Because at work I just go by the company and co-worker emails I receive.

Even when I was in college I wasn't too keen on following up on whatever notes I wrote down for class. At work I don't write down anything at all, whether quarterly, monthly, etc.
Out of curiosity what's wrong with git add -i? That's what I use to stage parts of a file.
In an emergency situation, you make do. Train temporary workers to man the temporary hospitals. Teach them how to know when to defer to a medical professional. You can hire a bunch of boy scouts to do the repetitive stuff, and have them call in a real doctor or nurse if symptom progression isn't matching their training.
An interviewer proposes this scenario: There is a school bus full of ping pong balls, all the way to the ceiling, filled from back to front. You are asked to estimate the number of ping pong balls while explaining your line of thinking. Questions are welcome--and answered if on the fact sheet.

Explaining your abstract, critical thinking process seems much more valuable. HR screens someone for having the degree, assume they are familiar with all the facts (they can use Stack Overflow when they get in). Just learn how they think and how they communicate.

I do understand, but that's only true for [0Oo], and does not help with [1Il]. In either case, the risk of human confusion is removed by transliteration in parser code.

But on the parser implementation side, I need to remember that numeric 0 maps to lowercase o, but lowercase l maps to numeric 1.

My thought is that it would be simpler to only remember one rule: numeric chars are canonical, lookalikes are dropped.

Clearly, not a big deal -- you write it once, correctly, and move on (or try to!). That "once" has apparently stuck in my head, and now a few years later I still wonder about the reason for the design choice. :)

Do I miss quitting astrophysics?

Hmm, which do I miss?

-- The once-per-year job cycle where if you don't find something you like, you have to wait another year to land your next soft money position?

-- The lack of perception of fairness or clear criteria for how the top fellowships are awarded?

-- The feeling that you're in an endless apprenticeship model like a pyramid scheme where only by the top people leaving do you get a chance to have some responsibility, better pay, freedom?

Hmm. Turns out I don't miss it so much.
> Meaning you buy a computer, assuming its value will drop (due to the inflationary nature).

Exactly. Similarly, if you buy a dollar, its value will drop (though not as quickly).

OTOH, bitcoins are the opposite of both dollars and computers: bitcoins are deflationary, and rise in value. This is a terrible property for a currency, since it encourages speculation and hording in preference to circulation.
Yes, it is a step, but learning the very basics of emacs isn't that hard either. I just cannot bear the view of someone trying to edit Lisp code with an editor without the basic support. This easily leads to all the horror stories you can read on the internet about Lisp :). Also, with Slime you get a great integrated environment. You can evaluate functions directly from the sources. Unless you plan to go with one of the IDEs, Slime is a great Lisp environment. Once you know Emacs+Slime, you won't need any other environment, so why not start with it?
I interpreted the question as you implying temporary hospitals are absurd because there wouldn't be staff to man them.
Ethereum software development has many perilous foot guns. Last time I looked, it's nearly impossible for a technical investor to validate the code in a contract themselves, because the compiled code from human readable languages produces hard-to-read machine code non-deterministically.
