The monetisation angle is hard. As soon as you activate it then the expectations ramp up even more than the (likely) current flow which is likely non-trivial right now as it stands. My experience on a smaller scale was only tens-of-emails per day. And that was actually overwhelming for my little hobby that had no possibility of monetisation. The idea of thousands of support emails from people with expectations doesn't spark joy at all.

Rhetorical questions:
Do you want to support this thing? How much time does it take? Is this effort you want to spend? Are you not monetising this for a purpose? Are you happy with that purpose (obviously yes)? Do you still enjoy spending time on it? Do you see that time as well spent? Are the expectations from your side still being met? Are the expectations from everyone else still reasonable?

After all those questions, the basic answer is probably: you don't want to monetise it because it will wreck the actual purpose for which its intended or alternatively there isn't much of monetisation possibility due to its nature. But you can't spend more time on it because you have other Things to Do, like making money from other ways.

(At least this is my impression based on my experience)
I've been working on getting our Java code running on Windows. It's going alright, but I had to shut off the garbage collector altogether - whenever it runs, all of our JARs end up in the Recycle Bin.
Bitcoin's high electricity usage comes from finding the block (header), not from processing the transactions inside it, i.e. the same energy is used to find a block with 0 transactions or 10,000 transactions.

So, more transactions don't cause higher electricity usage.

All miners run similar hardware and software so the only way to be competitive is to find cheaper energy sources, which is why Bitcoin mining scoops up energy that is either very cheap, renewable or would be wasted otherwise (e.g. remote hydro power plants).

So, electricity consumed on the Bitcoin network has a much smaller CO2/Wh impact than what you would expect on average.

If any publication fails to acknowledge any of these key points in estimating Bitcoin's environmental impact, I would be very cautious in trusting their conclusions.
This is my current favorite approach.

Trump is the biggest joke ever in the history of this country.
Oh actually, I've found the way to convenience myself about that: The "reality" is, when somebody travels through time, most of them (god knows how many) got killed in the process, but the story will just pick another "instance" who has survived the journey from the pool of "Multiverse" and continues.
It is all value judgements.

Again, if the priority is to always have a positive ROI, and that metric is computed every quarter, without due and inclusive consideration for externalities?

All the things I discussed here are going to get watered down. And it is always the same priority on max dollars now, max recurring dollars now, and WGIF about the future, others.

Where that happens, so do the things I just said. Not my mess to clean up.

Some enterprises get it. They get my time, attention, dollars and referrals first.

Beyond that? Got better things to do.

Clearly you value things differently. That does not make anything I said wrong.

Take care. You get last word on this.
Makes more sense with a mathematician than a programmer.
that's the future, hopefully.
Each incremental person who can afford to live in a city is a good thing. For the person, for the city, for the environment, for the economy, for the world. Will you eventually run out of economically feasible buildings to build? Sure. But along the way, millions of people get what they want and couldn't have before. Swap drives across sprawl for subway commutes. Exchange "whatever's around" jobs for better ones that create more value. Get access to richer cultures and more potential friends.

Decommodification is not magic. Scarcity is still there. Unless you're going to expropriate from current owners, it mainly means the government buys housing on someone's behalf. The government suffers exactly the same problems as market-rate buyers there. Relieve scarcity, lower prices as much as you can, and tax revenue to those programs can do more good.

Why can't larger ships be unloaded onto smaller ships at sea? Then those smaller ships would have access to a wider net of ports. Like a river flooding out across a delta before it reaches the ocean, but in reverse.

Why can’t the linear flow of time and a singular instance of reality just be the narrow lense through which we view the universe?

If reality is infinitely branching, then time travel is merely a way for the traveler to perceive and move between those infinite branches.

If you kill your grandfather in an alternate timeline your grandfather is still alive in the timeline you came from, hence no paradox. You (an alien in the new timeline) can then watch a world develop in that alternate reality where your grandfather died.

If time travel were in fact possible, this would be the only way my puny brain could conceive of it actually working.

If there’s only strictly one path that reality takes even from the perspective of an outside observer (God) then I can’t see how time travel could be possible in such a construct. If it is possible it seems you must implicitly admit that there is not in fact a singular thread of reality/time.

Just because we define some equations where t can flow in reverse and fit them into the standard model doesn’t seem to me to be persuasive evidence one way or another.
I don't understand this? Sure there are cheap developers who use trendy finishes with cheap materials and markets as fancy.

But luxury exists. googled definition of luxury includes 'extravagant living.' To me that includes

Doorman, butler services, room service and daily housekeeping (e.g. condos at the Ritz), valet, huge amounts of in building amenities. Super high end custom finishings, fixtures, decor which doesn't serve a purpose in terms of extra comfort or use, just aesthetic/signaling.

And the epitome of the logo whore luxury condos celebrity architect firm placing giant $10mm Koons or Kaws lobby sculptures (which funny enough there's an ever more high brow snobby art joke that once you're in the lobby you're done lol).
Great idea and very useful website! Thank You.

One suggestion: A lot of folks don't go to gym, lack access to exercise equipment etc. It might be worthwhile to have a section on how to work out the specific muscles without any equipment and in minimal space using only bodyweight/calisthenics; eg. Yoga stretches, deep squats, pushups(both Normal and Hindu) etc.
I find the dropping of native compilation to be unfortunate.

There are 3 categories of code I’m interested in writing:

- Client code, must compile to JS.
- Server code, ideally would compile to native.
- Tooling code (e.g. Webpack / Babel replacements), ideally would compile to native.

I would like to write these things in one language.

ReasonML could do this, ReScript cannot.
>> The only approach to DRM is to boycott its use completely, there is no workaround or compromise.

I couldn't agree more.

DRM is a plague that needs to go away. Digital content producers use it in the hopes it'll deter piracy, but the truth, as clearly shown by GOG.com, is that DRM is pointless. If your software and content are reasonably priced and worthwhile in some way, people will buy it.

I recently looked into what it takes to play 4K Blu-ray UHD discs natively, and its fucking laughable. A specific Intel-only CPU, only certain motherboards, certain monitors that support certain specs... OR you could just download an .mkv from some torrent website that plays flawlessly...

Which are people more likely to do? Instead of potentially adding 1.5 billion Windows users to the pool of available 4K UHD Blu-ray customers, they made it so fucking annoying that it practically guarantees piracy. Nice job breaking it, Hero.
Since when do programmers read the documentation?
Thats a rehash of an old joke:

I know it soviet style:

A mathematician, a physicist and a biologist are flying in a air balloon and are lost.

They encounter a man walking below:

The biologist asks him: "do you know, where we are?"

"..." the man looks up and says nothing

The physicist ask him: "can you please tell us, where we are!"

"..." after a while the man says: "in a balloon".

The mathematician remarks, ah, he must be a philosopher.
The others: "how do you know?"

"Well, for once he needed a lot of time to answer. Then his answer is correct with our objective reality. And lastly, his answer is completely useless to us."

(in eastern soviet republics, philosophy was not in high regards, because the peoples governments were supposed to be philosophical (a la Marx) government, with in theory, very high standards)

People have muscle imbalances just from bad posture, sitting too much, and exercising with poor form (if they do exercise). Not to mention overall inflexibility that again lends to bad form.

Watching videos and doing general exercises will not address these issues. They may actually make them worse.
First I would ask, what's your motivation?

- If you are just looking for a better Java, Kotlin is likely the way.

- If you are looking for a better language that leverages the JVM ecosystem, then, Scala might be the way.

It also depends about what kinds of projects do you want to work with, Scala is a no-go for Android if you are just learning, on the other hand, if you plan to work in distributed systems, Scala is great for that.

The biggest advantage I see on Kotlin right now is the Multiplatform side, we are taking advantage from it to write a library once, that can be consumed by Android, iOS, and our backend services built with Scala (we even want it for the JavaScript side but it isn't as mature as Scala.js).

On the Scala side, it has a very nice ecosystem, with powerful tools that usually get ported to other languages, for example, its the first language where I see good tools for:

- Compile time checked SQL queries.

- Documentation tools that actually compile your code examples to make sure it is correct (even arrow-ank on Kotlin was inspired by tut from Scala).

- Generating JavaScript code that actually works.

While Scala may have had not-so-good tooling years ago, right now is pretty good.

People usually complain about over-complex code, which can be true, but, you can find bad code in any language, on Scala you can choose a path, whether to be pure-FP or pure when practical, and there is great tooling for any side, I personally try to be practical and it has worked quite well over many years (also check http://www.lihaoyi.com/ blog for similar examples).

What I get in Scala that I can't get in other languages I have worked with is usually the confidence that my code works when it compiles.

As of know, I use Scala for backend services, frontend (through scala.js), browser extensions, mobile apps by leveraging PWAs, and even native apps (through GraalVM).

On the job market, every year I see more companies using Scala, and you usually find very competent people which allows you to keep learning, on the Kotlin side, most job posts that I see are for Android than for backend development.
Unfortunately I'm limited in what I can do overhead due to an old neck injury, so pullups are out. Most upper body stuff causes me pain so I have to be extra careful dialing in the right movements, weight, and reps.

I've heard deadlifts are one of the best exercises, I can't wait to get back to PT and get a personal trainer so I can do those correctly. I doubt I've done enough with lats.
The claim the parent comment is making is not that you shouldn't care about closed source firmware, but that you shouldn't care where you get it from. If you have a device with the Intel ME, you've already got some closed-source component running on your machine. Is getting an updated closed-source firmware from Debian worse than using whatever closed-source firmware was shipped with the device?

Obviously it would be delightful if you could avoid using the closed-source firmware at all. But the question is, if you can't - if you have a laptop with closed-source firmware pre-flashed onto the EEPROMs, and also Windows shipped from the factory pre-installed onto the disk - what should you do?

If Debian takes the stand of saying "No, we're not going to run on that laptop, keep using Windows," is that the stand you want them to take?

I for one would love to see manufacturing industry grow, thrive and become dominant not only in the US, but across the world. Every nation should invest in making things locally that can be consumed responsibly and recycled responsibly. The make-use-discard-reuse loop needs to be a national agenda. Imagine 200 different kinds of Food processors from various nations, not just the same shit rebadged in Guongzhou. Manufacturing is an extremely large domain space for many many magnitudes of growth possible. For every startup in hardware, there are probably 1000x more startups in software. It’s hard and that’s exactly why we should do it. Maker movement showed us that people love making things, but have not a clue on how to mass produce them. As Elon said in one of the interviews “Someone’s gotta make stuff”.
I would really like one of these apps to integrate with LINE, which is really big in Japan.

Every time I see something like this I check again, but it’s so far never been supported.
I've never had the issues with drivers that many Linux users complain about. I suspect that this is due to the fact that I only run Linux on desktop machines, and don't use wifi.
There are tabs for stretching and bodyweight exercises for each muscle.
Theres more depth in your one, but the original is more funny and to the point.
Well, that was unexpectedly inspiring. I find I like building things that work, but the detective work of a challenging bug is often way more interesting!
masonic is ignoring the possibility that "gas" talk was figurative. It was reported that Oathkeeper Thomas Edward Caldwell received facebook messages during the insurrection: “Tom all legislators are down in the Tunnels 3floors down,” and “Go through back house chamber doors facing N left down hallway down steps,” and “All members are in the tunnels under capital seal them in. Turn on gas,” according to the FBI.

Perhaps "seal them in, turn on gas" was a figurative way of saying "trap them and kill them".

Ask HN: Is there a system formalizing US tax code as set of inequalities
The rules for taxes although complicated, still seems can be expressed with lots of equalities and inequalities. For example, there are multiple rules on 401k contributions, and it seems to be just set of inequalities:

Let x be a 401k plan (the wording I'm using might not be correct)

1. employee contribution = after tax contribution + salary deferred
2. sum salary deferred over for all 401k plans <= 19500
3. salary deferral for plan x <= earned income from the company associated with x
4. employer contribution <= 0.25 \* earned income from the company
5. employer contribution + employee contribution <= 56000
6. there are lot more but looks like all can be expressed as some form of inequalities.

The problem with all the tax software I know is that it is for tax reporting, not planning. It is a blackbox function. But if it can be expressed as a set of inequalities, it can help with tax planning as one can do optimization over it.

I did some search and it looks like people do use linear programming for international tax planning. https://www.ttn-taxation.net/pdfs/Speeches_NewYork_2012/N08-MiklosVasarhelyi.pdf

As another example, this tax planning related article about the long term capital gain bump would be very easy to incorporate into an optimization system(in fact, completely automatic) if we do have the system of inequalities in place.

The "you learn limits in like, 9th grade" comment reminds me of this one:

Two mathematicians are in a bar. The first one says to the second that the average person knows very little about basic mathematics. The second one disagrees, and claims that most people can cope with a reasonable amount of math.
The first mathematician goes off to the washroom, and in his absence the second calls over the waitress. He tells her that in a few minutes, after his friend has returned, he will call her over and ask her a question. All she has to do is answer one third x cubed.

She repeats "one thir -- dex cue"?

He repeats "one third x cubed".

She says, "one thir dex cuebd"?

Yes, that's right, he says. So she agrees, and goes off mumbling to herself, "one thir dex cuebd...".

The first guy returns and the second proposes a bet to prove his point, that most people do know something about basic math. He says he will ask the blonde waitress an integral, and the first laughingly agrees. The second man calls over the waitress and asks "what is the integral of x squared?".

The waitress says "one third x cubed" and while walking away, turns back and says over her shoulder "plus a constant!"
Could you share an example of this? I could be misinterpreting this but say you're building a survey system and you need to keep track of answer types (e.g. text, date, etc) and the answer itself, how can you collapse that into one field?
Indeed and almost zero contributions to upstream.

Those listings are required by the license.

Also they aren't Linux or BSD derivatives, rather their own OSes.
Let's rephrase: can you create a clone, a derivative work of a working OS browser, which only has DRM part not changed?

I'm not sure if you're asking for technical or legal advice. If legal, then since most of us are not lawyers here, strictly speaking we can't judge if "Hello, world!" program will put us in jail or not.

Even if you do want only free components, discoverability of Debian images are really bad. They have so much stuff that is just very difficult to find.

The other day I seriously spent >1h to find a live image for testing (live as in not only installer - needed to do some recovery). I only persisted that long because I knew I had downloaded it before.

Here there's only stable: https://www.debian.org/CD/live/

This is not very useful: https://wiki.debian.org/LiveCD

I don't even remember how I eventually found it, but you can find most from here: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/

I remember Underwater for skipping fast forward after the first five to ten minutes, and it sounded almost comically. Just varying screems to the end. And way too much "teal and orange".
Not that surprising given that it seems specific to asan mode and only in the presence of setjmp/longjmp. I.e. this cant be that important unless the same bug shows also in non-asan Setjmp/longjmp case. Setjmp/longjmp are often a source of trouble for the register allocator or related optimization due to its unique properties. Often the optimizing compilers treat set/longjmp as "give up almost everything around those functions" but maybe llvm is trying hard to model it precisely and failing. But I haven't personally looked at the relevant code in llvm so this is mostly a speculation.

Well, he probably retrieved the arrow and realized the warrior was still alive so shot him again with it. Why put forth the effort to draw another arrow on someone you hate and have contempt for when you have one in your hand? Plus, it probably made a heck of a story to tell his friends.

supply chain is supply chain is supply chain.

you need collection from multiple nodes, aggregation, sorting and then distribution to multiple nodes.

uber model is likely flawed because there isnt enough volume to scale. without aggregation, you cant capture economies of scale. there isnt standardisation at source or end points to justify aggregation. the game is over before it starts to make $$.

on a related note and going back to the actual topic of discussion: this is why mobile delivery of vaccines door to door will work better than the public driving down to isolated hospital centers to be vaccinated.

at this scale...and for CA alone, it's 40 million residents...its never going to be possible to vaccinate us all. and also why africa and china and india(1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 billion people respectively) will be able to do a better job than the usa when it comes to covid. again.
