Maybe I hadn't been sufficiently clear: the hardware I mentioned is physical hardware, running at home.

No virtual OS or sharing the physical cpu with other tenants.

Cheap vps provider often do overselling on the bet that most customers won't be actually using the cpus in user-space 100% of the time (and that's often true). If your provider isn't doing anything nasty, you should be able to see "stolen time" (often indicated with 'st') in top/htop: that's when your vm wasn't actually scheduled on the real cpu.

In theory Bitcoin has some psychological benefits. It is literally Keynesian gold digging. You are putting people to work (workers employed at power stations and workers at semiconductor companies) and thus stimulate the economy. A lot of the bitcoin money originally came from central banks or at least was pushed to Bitcoin by the central banks. The only problem is that Bitcoin mining is not a domestic industry. Not every country benefits equally.

Bernard Shaw and a couple of other reporters from what I remember. I distinctly recall tuning in a few minutes after things started and listening to them hide in the hotel room as Iraqi security started to clear the hotel that all of the reporters were staying in at the time.
there was a Russian influence on an election(which is probably true if not likely in all of our elections for the past 50 years)

I think anyone advancing the hard line that Russia has influenced US elections for the last 50 years still has not emerged from the rabbit hole dug for protection from nuclear attacks 50 years ago.

Russia may revel and delight in anything that weakens the pre-eminent superpower, they surely have cyberwarfare teams reacting to constant US attacks. But the idea that US election results were swayed is far-fetched. The "division" that was supposedly sowed by clever Russian propaganda was manufactured by the economic engine running out of control in the USA and the resulting impoverishment of many.

Like many conspiracy theories the Russiagate hysteria seeks to replace complexity with simplicity. From my cultural and economic background it is less obviously crazy than QAnon, but if I seek to find solid grounds for either of them I end up dropping both of them into the same asylum.

Reality, as Curtis has reminded us, is not something we have direct access to, we are working off imperfect models. When those models stop working we should change them. Clinging on to them is irrational. It looks like our current models are very poor at describing the complexity of the world.

It's just as misleading to string together dozens of "sources" in an article to prop up a narrative. It appears to me that the website you've linked is just playing on peoples paranoia, a la YouTube "news" channels. If the actual content has to chase the dramatic headline the entire time, you can be sure that it's a whole lot of BS.
>Wish they taxed cars by decibels too

Then the couple living down the road from me would have to pay the same for their Tesla as their neighbor would pay for their Ford Mondeo. When they drive past me they are emitting the same amount of nose to the roadside since all I can hear is wind and tire noise. Then you could measure the noise inside the car instead (or it would be a race to the bottom of who will put on the worst tires from the factory) and a huge Mercedes SUV would be dirt cheap compared to an old Nissan Leaf.

Isn't this just caused by the recent price spike? Bitcoin started off at $10k. It's at $30k now.

I think it is weird that it is 5 years younger than Python.

I only heard about Python much later.
Well, both are far out on the fast end of the adoption rate spectrum, so subjectively those ten years have been a very long ten years.

A lot of Java had been written to pre-1.5/"java 5" standards. There is so much of that stuff that even a full ten years after falling in love with Scala (not as an early adopter, I think it was right at its popularity peak!) I happened to find myself "generifying" some ancient java code. Even kotlin is older now than pre-generics Java has ever been.
Fight like hell.
I won't go past Java 11 because that's the last version that has an OpenJDK fork, AFAIK. I'm not a lawyer, but Oracle has changed the license for >11 that also gives me pause. I'm also very unhappy with Java's feature bloat: the JVM spec and JL spec used to be small and comprehensible, circa Java 5. Now they are both like 800+ documents. This dilutes Java's single greatest strength, which is a well-written, implementation independent specification. No other high level language has this. Python's specification, for example, is "read the CPython code".

JavaScript + DOM (especially ES6 in modern browsers) has fulfilled the WORA promise on the client, and apart from a vast library of OSS libraries, I don't think Java is particularly distinguished at server-side. Spring? Django? Rails? Express? I mean, who cares at this point? They are all just processes that bind to a port and handle HTTP requests, with more-or-less the same trade-offs and dev experience. The biggest distinction with DX is "IDE vs text editor", not language/framework.

I agree that Rust is a very exciting language, as is the general trend toward Clang/LLVM for new native languages. It seems we might finally be able to have our cake and eat it too. We'll see!
so its like onlyfans but for open source community
I was really excited about Java back in the day. My friend and I back in the 1990's started working on a STEM website that would have made use of Java applets. The idea was to present algebra concepts with graphing applets where you could modify a formula for a parabola, and then see the results on-screen in real time. Like what you could do with a graphing calculator, but with a more explanatory text surrounding it.

I just took a look at the first page of google results for "learn algebra parabola" and found plenty of learning resources... but not a single one was interactive?

With all the fancy Javascript-heavy pages these days, has noone has done this sort of thing? I also took a look at Khan Academy, and they have some interactive stuff, a lot of it is just videos.
Ah, okay. And I guess you've already played with various group policy around compression, gpu acceleration (RemoteFX) , etc, for RDP.
Before you criticize bitcoin you should understand the problem it is solving. Bitcoin is a technological solution to a government-created problem: the creation of money from nothing because politicians and government leaders want to spend more than they can collect in taxes.

Other solutions to this problem include owning gold and stocks, both of which are also costly, but in ways that are harder to quantify.

If you want to avoid the waste caused by government money printing, lobby your government to stop confiscating wealth by allowing gold-backed money and reducing taxes.

I don't use TikTok, I never will (As a disabled person[1]).

But age detection is a hard problem. Several years ago I was running a chat-app network' platform for privacy focused dating allowing communication between,

Messenger <-> Telegram <-> Viber <-> LINE

First major issue I ran into was that in SE Asian countries many used their children photographs for profile picture in chat apps, which obviously was a no go for dating, so I had to implement Amazon Rekognition to detect age, make those users change their profile picture and their profiles weren't displayed until it was changed. At peak it processed 200,000 images/month.

But Amazon's model was biased and resulted in several false positives for darker skin color marking several adults as children; But since false positives were better than false negatives for this case I went on with it. Amazon told me that they are working on fixing their model, not sure whether it has improved.

Yeah, this isn’t a very specific headline. Seriously thought Italy had blocked TikTok access to the whole country for a moment.
Keep in mind that streaming video likely translates to a read-mostly and sequential-read workload for the underlying storage, and that's really an ideal use-case for storage (you can do stuff like file-system caching, stream buffering and file read-ahead).

Things like nextcloud/owncloud are a lot more random-io-bound, if you think about it.

>uuids and using the more compact enconding (base what ever). And at the same time I'll safe countless of debugging hours, because everybody is aligned what kind of ids we are talking about.

Will never be as compact as 16 byte binary UUID's. Will never be as compact as the same compact text encoding without the type prefix. Will always have the runtime overhead of parsing the type and id and rendering them back from the db.

Again if that one specific bug is so common to add extra id and db mapping overhead ALL THE TIME in the application maybe a simple devop tool should be made available to paste an id and verify its type would be better use of computing resources removing constant runtime overhead.

Seriously I have seen this type of bug once in a great while and it sucks with integer keys because they can easily overlap causing pretty nasty outcomes, UUIDs eliminate that. If I had to dig further I might do a search to see if its actually a valid UUID somewhere, but seriously someone is just sending the wrong ID, it should be pretty quick to track down without the prefix since its globally unique.

This doesn't speak to his point at all. He's not saying all left-wing groups that have been destroyed were destroyed by infiltrators. He's saying that that was the purpose of the infiltration by law enforcement.

The fact that orgs can be destroyed by other factors is true but totally irrelevant.
Indeed, for a year I had the chance to live five minutes' walk from an excellent grocery store. It was right across the street from the yoga studio where I practiced, and on my way between home and work. There were lots of automated checkouts and the store was very efficiently run.

Previously, the idea of going to the grocery store every day had sounded like terrible tedium -- but I found myself doing it and it was wonderful.

Not too unlikely.

After they bought League of Legends, they "updated" several dozen paid skins, some worth significant money apparently without communicating to Riot Games (the company directly in control of LoL, or rather the one who once was) or the player base. The quality of the update was mediocre to laughable.

Reversion/Fixing took month and there was never any apology IIRC.

Also, putting money into an indie game dev vs. putting money into a CRP-controled conglomerate which is silently buying more and more media may or may not be a morally different endeavor for someone.

I know that Patreon had these “members only” posts, and it’s pretty meh. Maybe it’s due to the projects I’m sponsoring, but I always had a feeling of “if you’re writing these posts just for us, please don’t bother and just enjoy writing code”. And just to make sure this is not interpreted incorrectly, I mean this in a positive way, I don’t want to be catered to, I want to ensure the survival of the project in the long term.
I could be wrong but the price seems too high. If you find the same, I would consider doing a bit of market research estimating how much people use the library at areas particularly far from the library, and estimating a price you would need to make it work with batched deliveries (kind of like garbage day, your library day is...). Then set your price based on that and see if it takes off.

Actually that is what makes it attractive as a store of value. It's going to last millions of years. Bitcoin is data on HDDs and SSDs and we know that those eventually corrode or simply become obsolete.

You can't separately compile and link in templates. The compiler needs to see the definition to instantiate it.

Meanwhile you might not want to put that definition in the header file so the header just contains the interface. Ergo you #include the implementation at the bottom of the header file.

I mean... yes? I can't speak for others but my opinion on the matter remains unchanged despite who the target is. I may disagree that it was a good move, but it is, in my opinion, Facebook's right to ban anyone it wants.

It'd be like if dang decided he'd had enough of me bitching about package management, bad UIs, and software bloat and banned me. I wouldn't like it, but I also don't believe I am entitled to force HN to host my rants.

I believe the right way to handle this, if you are upset about how Facebook does things, is to stop using Facebook and tell other people why you don't use Facebook.

But what I don't understand is how 'overchoice'[1] hasn't affected Xbox GamePass adversely yet; even though hundreds, thousands of games are available for download we're limited by the time we can put into gaming and storage to download those games.

Like in Aesop's fable, Python was a "tortoise" to many other languages "hare". Many languages (especially BASIC, Perl, PHP, Java, and Ruby) had moments where they had an extreme amount of attention in a short amount of time. Python never had its one defining "moment" (like Sun announcing and hyping Java), but Python steadily grew in usage nevertheless the whole time.

Feels like the subscription model is an answer for popular games being free, which itself make a bank on the 1% who spend an enormous amount of money on in-game items. Seems like everyone wants to be Valve in a way or another, owning a platform while making a bank on transaction cuts rather than the content itself. I wonder how much of a conscious decision this was on Valve's part when they made DotA 2 free. At the time it seemed more like a user-grab from LoL and Garena private-servers, and the in-game items were more like an afterthought that came from modding tools.
Yep. I was talking about the country in the article.

Sustainable aviation fuels are 50 years behind motor fuels because of the fear that changing fuels could cause your engine to fail.

For ground transportation we have methanol, ethanol, butanol and other ol's not to mention biodiesel, dimethyl ether, etc. Electric is a good option too.

For aviation fuel people are so scared of change that they are still trying to synthesize chain hydrocarbons from H and CO. (It's the one case where iron works as a catalyst but so poorly that they wish they could use Platinum instead.)

Desperate people such as Nazis and South Africans found that's not worth doing even if you have cheap coal. Now people want to capture CO2 from the air to do it. Yeah right.
> massive assumption that the person with the smart phone or fancy car is actually happy and fulfilled

Never made this assumption. Quite the opposite, I'm saying the very fundamental basis to "happiness" is to have your basic needs covered at all times. Only then, you can start to build something on top.
With a sample of one, it is hard to make any meaningful inferences ;) But intuitively, I do tend to agree with your point. Perhaps PL creators look a touch more... extravagant?
