Wow, I hadn't heard of this. That was great
The Psychic Who Funded Porn, the Swami, and the Jonestown Massacre
Yeah systems like zoom are designed for enterprise where hundreds of simultaneous calls are happening on the same network. They work very hard to make those packets as tiny as possible.
I tried making a fried egg using this suggestion and it did not turn out as well as I had hoped.
None are ready for the public yet, but all in the hopper or under serious consideration:

- Personal site/blog with a bunch of algorithmically generated art and other fun stuff, built on Node/Preact but progressively enhanced/almost completely JS-free at runtime. Motivation for the build approach is that I’m on the low/no client JS static site bandwagon but I quite like the DX of JSX components and CSS-in-JS.

- I’m using a few excellent existing tools[1][2] for said site which unfortunately aren’t designed to work well together, so I have a variety of wrapper tooling that makes them live peacefully together. I’m also developing a bunch of other build-stage tools for my use cases. I plan to open source (or hopefully contribute back) all of that as soon as I’m satisfied with their quality.

- A set libraries for building declarative, type safe, automatically validated/documented service API boundaries (HTTP/REST to start, but I also plan to support other transport protocols) — think io-ts[3] type interfaces but you get swagger docs for free in a transport-agnostic interface. I’ve built this kind of thing before, it was wildly successful in real world use, but it’s proprietary to a previous employer and I’m starting over with all the stuff I learned in hindsight.

- A “nag me” app that’s basically “reading list” plus “reminders” with minimal config, eg “nag me soon” or “nag me after a while”. My personal use case is I frequently screenshot/text myself/etc stuff I want to look at later (usually on phone but need a computer to dive in), then it just goes down the memory hole. I’ve tried setting reminders but it’s often too much fuss, and I’m far too ADHD to use a passive list.

- Exploring building yet another FE build tool/bundler that’s explicitly multi-stage/sequential with static input/output validation, per-step/time travel debugging. Motivation is that existing tools are just a big ball of config magic and totally inscrutable. I’d likely wrap existing build tools because their set of responsibilities isn’t my motivation and I don’t want to introduce that much more new API surface area to weary FE devs.

Yeah, kinda. The stereotype [yes they are stereotypes, not trying to offend anybody] of a southern accent in the northeastern US is that the speaker is slow, unintelligent, backward, or most charitably, "folksy".

I'm not from the south so I'm not as sure what the stereotype is in the opposite direction -- about the "yankees". Probably that they are inept and arrogant? Any time I've heard American southerners talk about "yankees" that's pretty much the tone

Out on the west coast I never hear about these dynamics anymore. People don't care about north/south here. Though curiously to me, I have encountered many westerners who sound more southern than northern to my ear.
Hmm, the Apache httpd folks didn't complain when web hosting services around the world started making money offering web hosting using it, without modifying it nor contributing back financially.
If you buy it in store, it should follow your local regulations. It's generally the cheap stuff on eBay that is the problem.
The Nexus 7 was way ahead of the competition at the time. It was fast, had a great display and cheap. I used mine for 6 years before it stopped working. Unfortunately google didn’t build on its success.
I agree that OP is confusing / conflating a bunch of different things.

But to clarify that one bit (I think?) they're talking about -- the code is OP_RETURN. Originally it could return larger amounts of arbitrary data, which was used to effectively store external data on-chain. It was later reduced down to only allow 40 bytes, which would be enough for a hash, but not enough to store larger amounts of state.

This was what Vitalik Buterin and others were using for things like scripting and colored coins, and Vitalik cited (concerns that devs were threatening to constrain it / remove it as a major reason he started Ethereum.

BMW’s Digital Key Plus will let iPhones unlock the iX from a pocket or bag
I've recently discovered that my country (Lithuania) offers solar park shares for residential customer (who mostly live in apartments). Coupled with some p2p lending that could easily convert millions of people to solar power with little of difference in monthly cost (well quick math says +50% for first 10 years, then -90% till panels decay).

Retrofitting roofs with panels seems wildly inefficient compared with using robots to plant thousands of panels few hundred miles away.

n.b. you do get slightly dicked by 'maintenance fees', but those probably gonna go down with time.
I think they were referring to remote music instruction....
Ive been interested in the licenses that are restrictive with a time period (eg: 6 months-1 year) after which they become FOSS (Apache2/MIT), eg BSL. I think it's a reasonable approach, but I think the restrictive license still needs to be quite permissive for it to make me happy. I haven't quite found one yet that sat well with me.
For me pretty much the same answer as I would give for being a failed startup founder

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25262382

As far as dev specific I wish I had

- focused on building and contributing to awesome teams. I hate that I got so caught up in the celebrity of a few individual luminaries in our industry. In reality I needed to focus on recruiting other awesome people who filled in my gaps instead of thinking I was so smart and trying to do everything myself.

- Built a professional public profile via a place like twitter earlier also my blog and website

I've had my twitter (and my blog somewhat) open up so many opportunities for me its crazy. All just from saying decently intelligent common sense stuff on there. Don't toil in the shadows give people a chance to see who you are

- not learning data structures and algorithms well early. Its all the best software teams interview for. I knew web well (circa 2010/2011) and no one cared. So I had to go back. Also now all that web stuff I knew so well is all but useless because its obsolete. But the dsalgo stuff doesn't change as quickly
> people from the left break quarantine rules it becomes front page news

It got to the front pages not because of breaking quarantine per se, but because of their hypocrisy: they wanted quarantine for everyone except themselves.

GOP politicians were consistent: they criticised quarantine and violated quarantine.
I'm working on a front-end data handling framework inspired by backend model system (largely laravel) including collections, factories, and much more.
It feature rich, extensible (OOP, driver pattern), fully tested, does the right amount of magic, written in typescript. It's gonna be joy to work with...

I worked on this for about 7-8 months now.
Also the Perl community has been pushing the boundaries of regex and text processing generally.

If you find yourself in a place with frequent one-off text wrangling or Unix admin problems some Perl knowledge is worthwhile.
I still love SF but after moving to NYC the quality of life here is just way better. Much cleaner and safer.

Pace of life is a bit slower but that is kind of nice too if you’re older and have a family.
I played a lot of 1e and a bit of 2e. I've kept up a bit with newer rulesets but have never played. Comments like this make me wonder just how different 5e is from that era. I can't imagine ever thinking players were "too good at the game" to create a situation like this.

That's not to say the current situation is bad but it definitely sounds very different
Weird - why'd the twitter account you've linked on the page get suspended?
Thanks for trying it! So unfortunately I can't launch an extension popup over top of the checkout, it's just not in the browser extension APIs AFAIK. One alternative was to inject the popup in to the checkout page but I figured if this got any traction it's possible then a checkout page host could read the data (ie, your salary) from that. Thus, I landed on the intrusive redirect. Open to other ideas though!
Why does everyone feel the need to reach a mass audience?
I've been working for the past few years on an online card game (think Hearthstone or Magic: the Gathering but with a tactical board component as well) where players can design their own cards in a WYSIWYG editor, and the rules text of each card (things like "Whenever this object moves, draw a card", etc.) is translated into JS by a semantic parser.

It's a hobby project that's still in the alpha stage, but I'm hoping to finally put out a beta version this year. The core functionality is all there, but there are still some key questions that need to be answered around ease-of-use and game balance (not an easy proposition when players get to create their own cards!)

You can check it out in its current form here: https://app.wordbots.io/ .

Agreed. I wouldn't rule it out for mid to long term trends.

I just submitted a Twitter support request to figure that out myself :)
Putting lipstick on a pig. Ethereum exists for a reason.
That's what I meant but I could have been less terse. It probably refers to the tribe of the Israelites so clan is probably closer than countrymen.
Could it be that the high protein / low carb diet have something to do with it?

My money is on this one.

A few years ago I switched to a high-protein diet because I started lifting, slowly but steadily things "went south". At one point was pretty bad.

Then I found 1 obscure study linking low carb diet to low testosterone, I switched to a more balanced mediterranean diet and things improved and then got better than ever before.

I know this is heresy, but.. I am putting out there, you've heard it here first.
Because it brings out the worst in everyone and makes people mad at each other.

Before seeing dang’s post here, I would have thought that removing politics would have helped.
In todays real world, where it takes 10 times the time and effort to refute bullshit than to transmit it, your request is nothing but support for the disinformation campaign.

Academic ideals of debate are not what happens now. Please adapt.
> .. now it's too late.

Perhaps it is too late for replicating existing use cases. However, the general idea of running EVM-like smart contracts secured by Bitcoin PoW (e.g. merge mined sidechains) is still quite attractive
It's impressive how consistently there's been 1.5x the actual death count in attributable excess deaths. April 2020 NY was pretty much the exact breakdown.
Sci-Hub is a company?
I think the US government has the worst record.
In fat tissue testosterone gets converted into estrogen via aromatase, also. Not sure if the estrogenic effects are systemic, but the T is lost from circulation.
Agree with other commenter. Stellar landing page, and this seems like a good business idea. Best of luck.
I'm not sure of the argument -

so it results in rich get richer

In PoW, the same 'rich get richer' applies - miners can buy more mining rigs and thus it compounds the same?

miners invest heavily in constantly innovating and investing back into the network

In PoS, is this not exactly the same, if not even more true? Stakers are by definition highly invested into the network

The whole system could collapse overnight like a domino if something goes wrong

Could you elaborate on this, why is this more likely in PoS over PoW?

PoW had decreased decentralization substantially to only happen in regions where electricity is the cheapest. PoS at least prevents this problem.
I think they mean tags come with the content and you can hide whole tags. Hiding individual stories requires you see the story to decide to hide it so you can't really hide ones you don't want to see rather ones you don't want to see again.
So you're into conspiracy theories, but the collusion of the Trump campaign with Russian intelligence agents, which was voluminously documented in the Mueller report, is a "yarn".

Conspiracies just aren't any fun when they're blindingly obvious to anyone who can read .
> Countries with strict and widely observed lockdowns don't seem to be generally better off health-wise

No? So we're not counting China or Australia?

I also didn't say anything about lockdowns specifically. Those are the last resort after travel restrictions, mandatory testing and quarantine for travelers, contact tracing, universal mask-wearing have failed to slow the spread. We didn't even try any of that, did some weakly-observed lockdowns and then said "See? Nothing works! Not our fault!"

> good for the economy

I said it would have prevented the widespread misery. The economy exists to provide for human wants and needs. It's not an end in itself. If we were going to print money (yes I know that's a simplistic view of what happened) give it to people to buy food and pay rent.

> The only viable approach is to not impoverish those people in the first place, which was an option.

Definitely. By doing everything I said above - testing, quarantine, contact-tracing, not denying the existence of the disease in February etc. Instead we did none of the preventive measures, then half-heartedly locked down in a haphazard fashion.

If we'd done nothing, the virus would have run amok and impoverished those people anyway by destroying their industries and we'd have way more deaths.
I'm still pissed about Pebble
This whataboutism is unreal. Criminals taking advantage of chaos is not the same as an attempted coup.

That's why there are 20,000 national guard troops ringing the nation's capital right now, quartered in the Capitol Building for the first time since the Civil War. That's why corporations with trillions of dollars in market cap shut down communications. We are only at the beginning of an FBI investigation that may last years.

Maybe you won't believe any of it until you see some famous figures perp walked for sedition. I guess we'll find out.
So awesome, so simple.
Isn’t it a dual license, and the existing license isn’t going away?
Good luck! I hope you safely navigate(d) out of your crisis.
Both halves of Seveneves are crying out for TV adaptation
It doesn't seem counterintuitive to me. Of course people on a discussion forum who want to talk about a thing and are suddenly told they cannot talk about that thing are going to be upset.
Small purchases easily eat up way more budget than most people realize. I bet a “you’ve $$$ in the last $TIME” feature would really help with that use case.

High jitter also occurs when the signal is marginal and the client scans the WiFi frequencies for other base stations to associate to (on the assumption that maybe you moved and there is another base station with a stronger signal). Since it has to “tune” into the other channels to listen for beacons, there will be a noticeable jitter while it is not tuned to the “current” channel.

This is my understanding as I’m still learning. Fascinating this stuff works at all.
I think the idea is that the effect on the listener is not purely a function of the objective characteristics of the music, but also depends on historical context and conventions that may change -- or be forgotten -- over time.
Not nearly as useful as a swarm of small shades/mirrors that would allow a more fine grained control over the local weather.

But there are also other alternatives that could either achieve some level of control over the wether or help the mirror swarm, like aerostats, or ocean heat exchange energy generators [1]. If we build large enough number of them, we can increase convection between equator and pole regions of the ocean reducing hurricanes and increasing rain over Sahara.

I wonder if non-ElasticCo contributors to Elastic Search who disagree with the SSPL license change can sue to have their contributions removed. Could even be a class action lawsuit if quite a few contributors disagree.
I am working https://giki.app, a blogging, note taking, journal writing app that make writing and publishing easy.

Not just for iOS, and Android, Desktop (Mac, Linux, Window) and Browser are supported.
https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyItForLife/ is an interesting stop for that kind of thing. I'm cheap and usually inclined to pick the cheapest 4-star option on Amazon (with the trick of &sort=review-count-rank). Browsing /r/BuyItForLife usually helps provide some pre-emptive buyer's remorse.
That assumes that your goal is to get to "the top," though. And the world being a tough, competitive place was much less (directly) relevant, and to many fewer people, just 20 or 30 years ago when they could nestle into their own communities and occasionally decry the state of the world as seen through newspapers and the 6:00 news.

I'll speculate that we're seeing more high-profile stories about "unremarkable person does a peaceful thing" because the internet allows it.

It used to be, that stories of exceptional drive or grit were likely to appeal to gritty, driven publishing executives, back when publishing (or syndication) involved offices full of people doing things to pieces of paper. These days, you can publish worldwide from your smartphone, and the people who _aren't_ filled with grit and drive can at least summon a "like" when they see someone doing something that resonates with them.
The GP is complaining about the phone -> server -> phone data path of the wearable -> phone -> server -> phone workflow for generating a nice graph. Presumably they think uploading the data to the server should be optional for backup/social purposes and not a part of just viewing the collected data.
End of the day yes I'll implement the thing I was planning on implementing -- I'm not going to let some random user dramatically change my planning process. But the added work of having that conversation if needed gets factored into my mental idea of the cost of the item (I didn't get into software engineering because interpersonal relations come easily and stress-free), and if that means that I prioritize lower cost items with the same impact, so be it.
In 2019 my New Years Resolution was to avoid all news and social media. The reason I started the ban was because I found my mind unsettled after reading the news and I had trouble coming back to a tranquil headspace.

The inspiration is this simple quote: "The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control." (Epictetus)

I held this resolution for about 5 months and it was profoundly glorious. It's not hard. Treat current events like Game of Thrones spoilers. Focus on what you have control over. Be frank with others that you are taking a break from the news cycle. If your results are anything like mine you will find yourself calmer and able to concentrate on what matters. Your mind wont wander to externalities you don't have control over.

At the end of it, you can go read Wikipedia for 30 minutes and be just as caught up as anyone else because you know the end result of the news cycle instead of suffering through it as it happened.

Even with all the rancor around politics right now, I've seen genuine discussion of the pros and cons of free speech and other topics of "classical governance" here. Where people are genially getting their curiosity assisted and enhanced by this group.

There's not many places for that. It happens here because of yalls dedicated work and magic touch. I say you're doing the human race a service, and thank you for it.

> Im not sure why citizens of representative democracies would want to inhibit political discussion.

It's turning HN into r/politics, I personally don't come on HN for that, there is already many many places online where political discussions happen, like reddit. When I say politics here I'm talking about USA cantered partisan politics.

HN is a great place for tech discussion AND it's also an opportunity to talk directly to founders, or important people and technologists in IT, in a better format than Twitter. I'd like for HN to stay in that niche.

Why not ban it forever? Unless it's directly connected to tech it just makes this site more of the same and means one less place to escape toxic politics.
If I were acting on behalf of myself I might, but as a representative of {FAANG company}, it a bad look to be banning people left and right.
So true. All Fitbit did after the acquisition was shelve all of Pebble's tech. Pebble, to this day, still has the best smart watch screen. Those refresh rates were crazy.

That’s a reminder that the world has become more and more stressed out. I was reading somewhere that women handle stress better possibly because of estrogen.
Plenty of derivative creation (ex: meme) probably has the copyright issue. Should twitter ban them all?
Please re-read my post and note that, at the beginning of the sentence you quoted, I specifically targeted the instruction of music. More specifically, you cannot help teach a blind violinist how to prevent themselves from continuously playing their notes flat without being able to see how they are playing.

Blind people are perfectly capable of learning to play music. Blind people and non-blind people alike can learn on their own, or seek out instruction. It is the latter that we are discussing here.
