I dont really know any editors at all to be honest with you, but I could easily see this to be super popular on youtube or netflix or NatGeo or anything of the sorts if edited well. Maybe do an "Ask HN" thread and explain this? Or go to some youtube forums and try to find an editor? I think theres perfect content and I am up to 32 episode, but a bunch of times the episodes are not transitioning well and I find myself confused whether it is the right episode. Also, the beginning with the intro is too long and repeated, and you could for sure make the vids longer, probs 10-20 mins per episode. Sometimes the voice is different, sometimes the camera is too shaky, but with good editing you could definitely make this into a clear storyline, but I think you would need a great editor that knows how to make this. Maybe shoot some emails to a bunch of channels and explain this to them, they might sign a deal or something and do the editing too. I am really not familiar with this industry, but I watch loads of shows and youtube channels so I can definitely say it needs some polishing. But I really love it! Also, if anything, your show would 100% convince me to buy a Rubicon more than any car ad Ive ever seen!
Thanks OP. Really great work on those Iceland pics. It’s an original concept I haven’t seen before - adding thermal data to panoramas of landscapes with geothermal heat. So cool. I’m a bit jealous I didn’t think of it first.

Sounds like you have a science background and field, but I’d encourage you to think of these as art and chat to a few galleries about an exhibition. At the very least it would be fun, and pretty amazing to see big blowups of your own imagery. They may be able to do a virtual exhibition during Covid.

Remarkable 2: Thoughts on reinventing paper
Good point. But money does not equal finance nor banking, it's just the medium in which they operate. Signup for a cryptocurrency exchange and you will need to sign a similar document to your bank's, where you agree to provide your real identity and are informed as to the legal limits of the cryptocurrency you can purchase. To me, buying something illegal with a bitcoin you bought on a legal exchange, is no different than buying something illegal with a hundred dollar bill your withdrew from your bank account.

Money doesn't commit crimes, people do.
The snippet assumes the data being read is little endian, yes. You can make a different snippet if you want to read big endian. You use an equivalent snippet for the writing side, and boom. You never need any #ifdefs in those functions. Is it actually better than using functions like you describe? Maybe. A part of me does love the elegance of using the exact same code on any platform regardless of the native byte order. This construct was suggested/encouraged by Rob Pike: https://commandcenter.blogspot.com/2012/04/byte-order-fallac...
That's an interesting question that I haven't explored much - the network on the ZedRipper is a unidirectional synchronous ring operating at the full 140 MHz, with a round-trip latency of ~32 clocks or so, but the interface exposed to the Z80 is a sort of re-targetable serial port (you write an 8-bit 'destination' register, and then you push bytes to that node). The current buffer depth on the receive side is only a single byte, so the sender needs to wait until the destination node has read the byte and the credit gets returned. Turbo Pascal uses the 'Real48' format for floating point - 6 bytes per number - and I believe floating point operations take several thousand clock cycles. So in a tight loop on both sides, you might transfer a floating point number to a neighboring node in ~500 cycles.

Especially if I improved the network a bit - deeper receive buffers at a minimum, maybe a simple DMA engine - you could probably get it down to <100 cycles to forward a Real48 to a neighbor. The performance of emulated floating point on an 8-bit CPU is sufficiently bad, and the network performance is sufficiently good, that you probably could get away with some very fine-grained parallelism that way! When I'm back to commuting, I should write an n-body gravity simulator or something for it so that there is lots of numerical work to spread around, and see how much of a speedup I can get.

Regulations are never for particular companies, that would be legally untenable. Whatever regulation a country comes up with for Facebook will also affect any other company trying to get into their footsteps. Regulation is the only way to prevent companies from abusing their positions of power. The idea is illusory that they would do it voluntarily even if they could make a profit. Some of them might under some leadership, but not in general and not all of them.

Exactly this.

I wrote up a post[0], where I mention this in the conclusion:

It’s usually not a good idea to ask a user “What do you want?” as guidance for new stuff, as this won’t give me guidance for future directions.

Instead, ask them “What do you want TO DO?”. Don’t couch it in terms of OUR work. We should look at what THEY want to do, in terms of THEIR work, and see if that switches on any light bulbs.

> I'd add a recommendation at the top of this to have a Rust compiler handy.

If you haven't already, check out the Playground: https://play.rust-lang.org/

It's reasonably full-featured for a web IDE (much more so than the Go playground), and it includes many commonly used packages.

> I don't understand why b=a; c=a; <-- doesn't work because a is "used up"???

This is something called "linear typing", and it's admittedly pretty unusual in a mainstream language.

The core idea is that the assignment operator _only ever_ creates a "shallow" (bitwise) copy of data; it never invokes anything like C++'s copy assignment operator. For types that are "plain old data" (like primitives), the old and the new values are fully independent, so the assignment works the same way it would in most languages, i.e., `a` is not "used up". This is what other commentors mean when they say that primitives "implement `Copy`". But if the old value has pointers or references, then the two values are not independent: after the bitwise copy, they both have pointers to the same data. Since data can only ever be shared explicitly in Rust, and the assignment operator never performs a deep copy, the old value, `a`, is considered invalid and cannot be re-used.

If you're familiar with C++11 or later, one way to think of it is that `=` in Rust always behaves somewhat like `std::move` in C++:

`b = std::move(a);`

The details are substantially different (this will call `a`'s move-assignment operator if one exists, which has no equivalent in Rust, and C++ offers no support for ensuring that `a` is no longer used if its move-assignment operator invalidates it). But the general idea that "move semantics are on by default" is essentially accurate.

Ever since covid19 started in March 2020, I developed an app aimed at helping people in NYC find small groups of like-minded friends that they can eventually call their inner circles. If you are in NYC, you know how hard it is to find your circle despite how easy it is to meet people.

More working-age people will be inheriting homes and wealth than in a typical year, as you suggest. If I was one of those people, I would use that as an opportunity to retire (why keep working for someone else if I already own a home and savings?). That means more working people than usual might retire this year, which I think is generally not good for an economy (less production).

Okay I misread that in the law review documents. So anyone acting on behalf of the beneficial owner is not reported, but the beneficial owner still is.

This is in line with some other countries that are vying for respect by reforming.

I don't mind it being on-file privately with the government, and this bill doesn't change anything with publicly perusable databases, nor create a new one.
followup questions: what level of support are you looking for, and what would be sufficient?

1) markdown macro (limits markdown to the body content, and not interacting with other macros or styling)

2) copy/paste markdown -> autoconvert to WYSIWYG (limits markdown to copy/pasting, so no editing Markdown inside)

3) "markdown pages" (something like 'this page is Markdown only, no WYSIWYG)

Perhaps a way to look at it is, is the faster horse a solution, that is scalable, or is it a bandaid that will fix the immediate problem but no more.

Not every problem needs a scalable solution, and bandaid is perfectly good. But many problems do need that.

So, start with the problem and go from there.
There's good intent and I see a lot of positive feedback. I'll try to provide useful criticism instead.

There's many issues with this.

The primary one is that if I select battery replacement "easy", I also want to see "very easy". I consider it easy+. This is the expectation.

Having said that, I need to be able to filter by screen size range, by screen time (e.g. oled) and by presence of headphone jack.

If they can't do this much, the filters are of very limited usefulness.

That was not really interesting, so I'll start a related thread:

- why is performance often favored instead of improving, refactoring, documenting, simplifying, etc. And how can we change that?

OSM needn't compete with Google Maps (as a consumer application) directly; it doesn't, really.

Lots of apps based on OSM data do need to compete, and that is very difficult to do on a global-scale. That's why most successful OSM-based consumer applications serve a few niches incredibly well. This is not counting the dozens of companies offering OSM-based base maps for use in other, mostly non-map-related uses (such as a store locator or data visualization tool).

OSM has the advantage of time, no need to make money, and a vibrant community around it. Google has to make money directly or indirectly via Google Maps to justify continued investment; OSM simply has to exist, and the longer it exists, the better the data will become. As the ecosystem around OSM improves (and continues building positive feedback loops), I strongly suspect we will see a successful consumer-targeted app using OSM data, and it will be much better than the many (good) apps right now, simply because another 5-10 years of accumulated data improvements outstrip the competition's willingness to continue investing.

Caveat: I cofounded an OSM base map provider. I'm biased. :-)

> That some linting tools warns on this: sure, that's reasonable.

To clarify, I'm not condoning annoying spam but if say e.g. Netlify or GitHub added a ".git folder should not exist on a public site" lint rule when you personally deploy your site, I would say it would be a net benefit.

> There's plenty of cases where a .git directory is just harmless

Pretty much all lint rules have false positives so this isn't a good yardstick. Can it potentially cause harm when you do it and is there's no beneficial reason to do it? If yes to both then it's an ideal candidate for a lint rule.
It doubled a couple years ago, which was temporary, so will halve in a few years time. That will catch people unaware.

> If after 4 years they want to gift their children with a few thousand euros to pay, for example, for their marriage, they don't have to worry about it.

This isn't a realistic scenario (at least in theory). Medicaid nursing home eligibility is evaluated on a case by case basis and penalties are only incurred if the Medicaid applicant's intent is to defraud the government (i.e. you can't give away your money for the sole purpose of acquiring government benefits).

I would love to! I'm a physics/EE major by training and career-wise I'm focused on ML and robotics, but I love art and especially using art to visualize science in ways that are understandable to the general public. (I'm also doing an astrophotography project to show the visual sizes of various nebulae. Your usual NASA photos don't really provide any sense of scale, and many people have the misconception that you need insane magnification to see them, but there are actually a whole lot of objects that are visually much bigger than the moon, just too dim to see.)

GDPR is mostly that; the penalties for data breaches are essentially a tax on PII. GDPR also restricts how you can process data and the user should always be informed and has the right to object.

The problem is that the GDPR is not being enforced seriously.
