Weird. I thought nicoffeine and I were having a pretty calm reasonable discussion there. I took no offense to anything that was said. I simply felt it was necessary to point out information that nicoffeine didn't seem aware of... like people do in normal discussions.

I didn't realize merely posting affidavits from the DoJ was considered political flamewars by anyone. It's a dry read, but it's unadulterated first party sourcing of fact.

A macOS app to quickly create iOS apps and generate their SwiftUI code: https://purecreek.com/vulcan

I released the MVP in November, which only allowed structuring the navigation of an app. Since then, I released incremental updates adding more and more content, covering the most common iOS UIs.

The idea is to get it to be a full-fledged editor, but not as complex as to lose its initial purpose of creating apps quickly with a few clicks to save time on boilerplate code.
I feel this deeply. Building binaries in a docker container to deploy as a Lambda Layer? Aces. Anything more complex than basic math functions across a few cells? Burn it with fire.

Did you read the article? The author doesn't concluse that Bitcoin in itself is bad, they simply realized by themselves that most of the dollar value increase was caused by Tether, and they fear Tether eventually going down might be a black swan event causing prices to tumble. But 1 BTC = 1 BTC, yes.
This is really cool, but limiting to the US for electricity is obviously not great. What plans do you have to expand outside the us/let us provide our own mixes? It would be interesting for example to show savings that could be achieved by switching from your current providers "mix" to self provided solar
Do you still use it?

What servers are you on? I remember hours, days of playing on it, 10 years ago :) But didnt know it was still active!
To add to this, there are at least 3 "cup" sizes for liquid: metric (~250ml), the US version (above, ~236ml) and an imperial cup (~284ml).
> One would be a solar powered water elevator that pumped water from the Pacific into the various endorheic basins in Nevada. These could then be drained during cloudy times or peak hours to supplement solar power.

Interesting. I've thought similarly, but for a slightly different purpose. Inland Australia is a massive desert, but there are theories that it was once (at least significantly more of it) a large grassland. Apparently it was mostly destroyed with the introduction of hoofed animals, which pull the roots of grass out as they eat it, as opposed to kangaroo's and other native animals which eat grass without removing the root.

I haven't explored the hard science behind this, but the theory is discussed in the book 'Dark Emu'.

Regardless, it gives hope that the desert could be cultivated in order to support more plants & animals (I'm thinking native rather than for farming purposes).

To realistically kick this off tho it would require huge amounts of fresh water, which Australia sorely lacks.

But we could produce plenty of electricity from solar power, wind power and nuclear power (Australia has enormous uranium reserves and plenty of sun). With cheap power, we could pump and desalinate water into the center of Australia.

Unlike death valley, it's not down hill tho, so it would require long distance pumping.

Interesting to find this project mentioned here which bares some similarities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Sea%E2%80%93Dead_Sea_Water...

Where I am (israel), the influence is tremendous. And it's a shame. US media is so good at driving attention that american narratives which are very irrelevant to Israeli narratives take over completely. The alarmist style of discussion has permeated everywhere. We could see how a very media savvy politician like netanyahu adopted all the Trump manearisms and conspiracy talk the moment Trump came in power.
It's very upsetting to watch as we parrot a failed sort of political discourse.

We'll have to just agree to disagree on this.

I don't believe that having bitcoin that was in the past involved in criminal use will cause you any problems at all. I'd be interested to see any evidence you have to the contrary.

Something I think people confuse is the concept of 'a bitcoin'. There is no thing that is transferred around like a physical coin or note. A bitcoin 'transfer' is just a change in the balance of two accounts, not an actual transfer of anything physical or digital. There is no change of ownership of anything.
How markets work is if you use more of a thing, productive resources that were destined to be shut down or only used as spare capacity like coal plants stay open. China wasn't reluctant to invest in or not expecting to get a ROI from new power stations before 'miners' moved in.

yeah, long time ago I synced the CRM database of the austria press agency to my sony clie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLI%C3%89 and then my sony clie synced it back. completely deleting all data other then the email and name on the CRM server.

gladly there was a backup, but the backup could not get used to get the database back-up. the discussion with IT were fabolous: "yes, we have it all backed up, so the backup is there, but we cant use it to bring the CRM back-up. but its backed up and we even have backups from the backup. they can also not get used to bringt it back up."

since then it is my standard procedure to make sure that backups can actually be used to bring projects back up. usually the first test "use backup to bring stuff back up" fails.
It's never to late to do the right thing, FB has fucked up in the past but calling out software that is doing harmful data collection of their users is what they should do here.

Exactly, Thats how they did it before. First revision is the same as the old Macs with the new Arch, then once they are happy with everything they create a whole new design.

Not commenting on Moore's law, but I don't see how the last part is true when GPU have become a main component of personal computing. They are in fact becoming more and more important with the need for AI inference and always more demanding rendering tasks (both in resolution and frame rate).
Maybe the Why is Commercial Interest?

Now business types choose Windows laptops for ease of use as it connects directly to the monitor & TV set with the ubiquous HDMI.

Same for USB, a majority of the external USB device sold have USB-A whether Apple likes it or not.

IOW having only USB-C is a PITA for most non-HN users.
I'd like to point out here that I just spent a good 5 minutes punching variants on "computer path", "node path", "node install path", etc. into Google. And exactly zero results on the first page for any of those queries have anything to do with how to configure the PATH variable in your shell.

If someone didn't know what they were trying to solve for here, I'm not sure google would help them succeed.
For non-curvy design think "Pixelbook" which has two totally flat halves that come together with a cool hinge. Not saying that's where they're going, but that's a modern laptop design that reminds me more of an iPhone 12
Only in cherry-picked benchmarks that already favored Intel on their past-gen chips. If you assume that performance is improved everywhere evenly, and extrapolate from those prerelease benchmarks and existing benchmarks for their older chips, their new chip will end up being ~5% slower than Zen3 overall.

Also, never compare chips that are actually on the market to unreleased ones. Zen3 might well get a small frequency boost when Intel finally releases Rocket Lake.

"Tether holds far more than your bank or many bluechips in backing, try not to forget that one."

The author writes right there in the article why he thinks Tether is full of shit. He states that the bank they claim to be putting all their dollars in simply doesn't have that many dollars.

So you can now put your money where your mouth is and explain why he's mistaken about that.

Addeundum, some time later: dylkil has done it for you. Now there a commenter who actually comes armed with facts.
I'm not really sure I understand this, neither finance nor crypto is my strong suit, but I think it's saying that most bitcoins are purchased with tether, and if the tethers are fake then that means most of the demand for bitcoin is fake. If the demand falls a lot, the price will too.

Not sure if I'm misunderstanding this though. It's hard for me to believe people buying and selling bitcoin wouldn't notice this somehow.

My main gripe with the trackpad is not being able to customise the size of the right click area. It's so small compared to the size of the trackpad.
I really find it hard to believe apple will remove the touch bar considering how heavily the eco-system is already invested into it. Imagine all the touch bar integrations they and other vendors have built just vanishing?

I honestly hate it and want tactile buttons back but it feels to good to be true.
>You do realize that the current president is the ringleader of birtherism, right?

Hillary Clinton, in her 2008 presidential campaign brought the fringe conspiracy theory of 'birtherism' into the mainstream as a rhetorical weapon to discredit her rival, Barack Obama, at least in the eyes of enough potential voters to do some harm. Donald Trump did bring the matter up in his campaign, but quickly repudiated it and never mentioned it again. It does not look like a sustainable assertion that Trump is, or ever was the 'ringleader' of 'birtherism.'
You could handle such requests by tombstoning the user ID (in addition to deleting the data). By keeping the tombstone records in separate storage (it's usually only kB, just a list of hard-removed user IDs), you can guarantee (re-do) the erasure even after having to do a full database restore.

Yes, three other markets accounting for a total of... $4 million daily volume. That's less than many random Uniswap tokens, and could consist entirely of some minimal market making. I've done stablecoin market making myself, it's not very profitable but the low inventory risk makes it attractive, as the ratio always trends back to 1:1.

Something I've noticed while traveling and staying abroad for long period: the content on HN tends to have a slightly different vibe depending on which continent/timezone group is awake and reading the news at a given time, especially on slow-news days.

In another comment, you said that HN isn't siloed[1]. I think otherwise, there's definitely a certain vibe of groupthink going on, which changes ever so slightly depending on the time of day, but mostly has strong common undercurrents of what are acceptable lines of thoughts and what are not in the greater HN community. And then within a given timezone, there are thought-cliques that share common counter-positions.

I would say, HN is siloed, it just has a few silos.

I'm not a filesystem developer, but assuming the corruption is caused by a race condition in the filesystem driver the difference can come down to many aspects:

* Different timings accessing a raw device compared to a virtual drive.

* The presence of the host scheduler can also alter timings.

* CPU configuration on the guest that's not typical on a bare metal (single CPU VM?)

It's not at all obvious that a bug must manifest the same way on a VM than on bare metal, although probably more often than not that's the case. If filesystem testing is also done on VMs then that would explain how this slipped through QC.
Of course Tethers are backed up, it's done in a novel and modern way of driving a garbage trucks full of small denomination dollars to a back alley in Bangkok by institutional investors.
I run my usb-c macbook pro with a 3rd party magnetic charge only usb-c cable without issues so yes, it's already been done.

Diverse? No, it is not. And not being diverse does not make it a bad 'list'.
Yes and it reminds me of a recurring plot in sci-fi...

Visiting a civilization of extremely advanced beings who... 'maintain' a big machine that does everything for them; it solves safety, hunger etc. and let them lead a life mostly hedonistic.

Only very few know how to maintain the said machine... They themselves don't even understand how their ancestors built it; and if they were to disappear or the machine to be destroyed, the civilization falls as it has forgotten everything about keeping itself afloat.

In the modern world, most 'senior developers' are glorified plumbers.

It works, they don't know why.

So when it doesn't work, they don't know why.

We're becoming more maintainers and plumbers than creators at the cost of not understanding the sand under the castle.
Great! I didn't know that. I did notice that if you write "python" on Command Prompt of fresh Windows 10, it throws you to the Microsoft Store to install python. Which is kind of cool too.

I read about that as well and, while the technology is exciting, it introduces additional cost and complexity into egg production which I doubt will be used at scale, especially as there's no legal issue with culling the male chicks anywhere (though some countries have introduced legislation into how the male chicks can be culled). I can't imagine a day when it will be cheaper to use this tech than to just let the eggs hatch and throw the males in the grinder.

As another user alluded to, the "layers" (egg-laying hens) also have a productivity drop very early in their possible lifespans, and are then killed as well.

There are no industrial egg production facilities which feed and give chickens and roosters a place to live out the natural duration of their lives in humane conditions (not cramped in battery cages where they frequently die of infection from pecking each other to death). I did the calculation a while back and found that doing so would result in eggs that cost over $10 each. The reason eggs are so cheap is because male chicks and hens that have passed their productive years are killed, and while alive, the layers are confined to an neverending nightmare of cramped conditions.
I also got stuck on C++. It was (and remains) such a disproportionate pain to compile, which was just too high a hurdle in the days before you could search for your cryptic build errors on the internet.

I was able to fool around with BASIC easily enough, with entire programs provided in magazines like Byte.
I also love the Touch Bar.

One thing that have helped my tendinitis was getting used to the Ctrl-C shortcut instead of the Esc (both are defaults to enter normal mode).

I think most people outside the US don't actually care that much about US visa/immigration policies, and care more about US relations and influence over their own country/neighbors, and the occasional "wow this is crazy, only in the US!" observations.
I don't see the point of the F-keys returning. If no touchbar then just use layers on top of the numerals, like other laptops and programmable keyboards.
And power users here doesn't mean only IT people, but anyone who uses some application all the time for some kind of work. Someone processing photos may not be able to touch type but they'll learn the keyboard shortcuts for their stuff in no time.

This problem isn't unique to programming. Russian mathematicians do amazing work, none of which I can access because I can't read Russian.

Even if the text is in English and you have a degree in mathematics I suspect that any text in logic these days is unreadable, despite being "in english". I've seen whole papers that are 90% judgement forms. It has taken me years to be able to read these papers.

There are more english-speaking people in China than there are english-speaking people in the US. I worked with several Chinese people who knew more about English syntax that I do.

It is a mistake to believe that programs written "in english" are readable. I have many programs I cannot understand (some of which I've written). I read and write mathematical software and have to study a lot of background before I can understand how a 20 line program works.
OP's point is that research is/was being ignored despite having good results. But this is normal, it just takes time, and a critical mass of good results for most researchers to switch to the new paradigm. (A decade is a very short time in the history of science.)
You're right to be wary, I re-read your use case and hand tracking alone won't cut it. However I still think that hand tracking _combined_ with audio input can be precise enough (above 99%).

Here is an example of raw audio to midi: https://magenta.tensorflow.org/onsets-frames

Regardless of the feasibility, it won't be as reliable as direct midi input, that's for sure! I think your goal of getting things working for a simpler case first is right, and wish you best luck :)
Hmm, what about so called bookmarklets? You fire up js console obviously too, or use tanpermonkey, or make a local extension. There are really vast options out there and people do use them one way or another.
Only one way to do that due to physics. Thicker screen.
I've worked on a few similar projects, and in this case I'd recommend trying to write your syntax however you want, but implementing it as a transpiler to Python.

That way you always have access to the Python libraries, for competitions where you need to show your code it'll be easier, and there are already a lot of optimisations.

That said if you're primarily doing this for fun- go wild with the implementation.
