Yeah, that's a great point. The final code I submit is often 2/3 the size of what I initially got running (perhaps less, even). I'm always happy to see a code review that is removing more code than it's adding, haha :) I like to use the phrase "measure twice, cut once" in regards to shipping code. Take the time to pare it down to the truly essential functionality, trimming away extraneous stuff that complicates things and may even be premature optimization. It's certainly a skill that takes time to improve at, haha

A transaction. A block can hold a limited number of transactions, so the throughput is limited. It works out to about four transactions per second on average.

The cost to "mine" a whole block is even more ludicrous.
> Most of bitcoin is mined with clean energy

Do you have a cite for this?
A lot of the interest in BTC is driven by media and the fact that it is the oldest and original blockchain solution. The newer solutions like Ethereum, and even newer like Cardano and Polkadot are game changing because they use proof of stake instead.

Bitcoin can be used as a store of value (among other garbage text that people have thrown into the blocks as a joke) but the newer blockchain solutions also allow from "smart contracts" which BTC does not.

Personally I don't see why Elon Musk invested so much in BTC instead of things like ETH which are much better solutions and stores of value.

Well if the price increased at 1$, and you didn't sell any, you risked it going back to 0$. From that perspective, there's a risk holding on to it.
Interesting. I never really got Postman - always felt like it was worse than Swagger (when available) and more convoluted than curl. I do use SoapUI a bit; mostly for SOAP services, occasionally for REST services.

But I recently found[1] a rust reimplentation of httpie, and some early testing indicates it might be better than curl+jq - bit early to tell.

It's not a nitpick, he's referring to Pigovian Taxes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigovian_tax

It's obvious that you can tax anything by some amount to eat up the value.

He means if you tax it according to the amount of unaccounted-by-the-market negative value, it comes out negative.

That's not really correct either. Regression is but a small (and useful) part of statistics -- it's the part of statistics that most engineers use, but statistics goes beyond regression. For instance, sampling theory is not regression. Hypothesis testing is not regression. Causal inference is not regression.

Probability undergirds a lot of statistical methods.

Well, of course. It is a pattern matcher. case NOT_FOUND: is a pattern that matches anything and binds it to NOT_FOUND. If you want to match the content of a variable you need to signal that in some way. In scheme that usually means unquote:

(define not-found 404)
(match status
(,not-found (do-stuff))
(else (display "you might believe this is an else clause, but it actually just matches everything and binds it to else")))
Why are deflationary assets bad for the economy? We've been using gold and silver (as well as commodities that can go a long time such as wheat, barley, dates, etc.) as currency for a long time now. That's a good balance we should strive to go back to. We shouldn't let the government and banks be able to print money at will, devaluing the hard work that people put to get their money in the first place. The people shouldn't have to pay the price of the government debt when it prints more money to cover its interest bearing loans.

I am quite certain that this is one of the sources of distress that many people in the lower socioeconomic scale have towards the very rich, and I can't blame them. What do you think it feels like to work and save your money for the future, when the government actively makes it worth less?

I'm not a figure modeller but I heavily use the Genesis 8 digital human from Daz 3D [0]

My guess is that teeth haven't been that interesting to date and that the modellers don't have access to hundreds of reference pictures / geometries of teeth for their modelling. As opposed to reference images of skin textures, etc. Tongues are probably the same. In fact I don't think I have ever created a render of a figure with their tongue out.

Once they take the time, the teeth should be easy to improve.

An LN payment processor is not institution, it's just a LN node which has channels open to many other nodes and to which you as a user can connect to, so you don't need to open separate channels with everyone you are doing transactions with. And if your LN node becomes unreachable due to censoring: they are often available over Tor too.

Do you have any examples or have experience with larger projects? For example, my React app has dozens of pages and some complex routing, and the backend has 50+ endpoints and talks to different databases, RabbitMQ, etc.

When I see "shoe that fits all" solutions like this I'm honestly skeptical about the degree of freedom I get for more complex architecture needs. I've found frameworks like Next.js usually give you the freedom you need because it's basically pure JS.

Also, this seems like it has a good opportunity to automatically integrate e2e/integration testing.
To be able to buy things you need. You know, food, water, shelter. That kind of stuff. Not everyone buying bitcoin is doing so from some impenetrable fortress of diversified holdings and complete physical security.

I do not expect the distribution of vendors of essentials to be increasing their acceptance of bitcoin any time soon. In any kind of remotely significant overall crash - which most of us reading this are very likely to see in our lifetimes - it goes back to the barter system & whatever proxy is most stable at the time. Perhaps bitcoin could play a role here, but it remains to be seen how much. I would definitely expect most people owning it to sell it fairly early on in a major collapse. Whether that group collectively owns enough of it at such a point vs. institutional investors to affect the price downward is almost completely unknowable. Which seems like too much of a risk to me.

We have far better ways to establish trust now-- including within the wider cryptocurrency space. I expect the architects of the market(s) will consult knowledgeable engineers who provide them levers of control for multiple variables when opening up new trust systems. When considering these probabilities, in my opinion Bitcoin is clunky legacy tech and a ticking time bomb.
Do you disagree about what would happen if the USD would be at risk of being outcompeted inside the US, or are you just arguing semantics with no connection to the real world?

(serious honest question)

The US government DOES guarantee that the USD has value. It's not something that they cannot fail at, but they do guarantee it. Cryptocurrency has no guarantee at all that it has value.

If your definition of "backing" is that you are guaranteed to be able to exchange it for something else, then cryptocurrency is truly backed by nothing, making the statement "backed by math" commonly used by bitcoin nerds complete nonsense.

Gaming is also consuming more energy than the daily lives of a whole country __Combined__. Entertainment is a good thing, but watching a movie consumes a lot less resources than playing games so why are games acceptable? What about VR? VR uses a lot of GPU computations for something a small fraction of people use. Surely people playing VR could use some other form of entertainment that is less resource consuming.

Or then we let people use their own resources the way they see fit.

> pain in the ass

Yes, unequivocally.

> frequently breaks

It can definitely depend on what you're scraping, but in the last few years or so the only project I had trouble with was one where they changed the units for the unpublished API (the real UI made two requests which mattered, one to grab the units, and I missed that in my initial inspection -- it bit me awhile later when they changed the default behavior for both locations).

A few tips:

As much as possible, try to find the original source for the data. E.g., are there any hidden APIs, or is the data maybe just sitting around in a script being used to populate the HTML? Selenium is great when you need it, but in my experience UI details change much more frequently than the raw data.

When choosing data selectors you'll get a feel for those which might not be robust. E.g., the nth item in a list is prone to breakage as minor UI tweaks are made.

If robustness is important, consider selecting the same data multiple ways and validating your assumptions about the page. E.g., you might want the data with a particular ID, combination of classes, preceding title, or which is the only text element formatted like a version number. When all of those methods agree you're much more likely to have found the right thing, and if they don't then you still have options for graceful degradation; use a majority vote to guess at a value, use the last known value, record N/A or some indication that we're not sure right now, etc. Critically though, your monitoring can instantly report that something is amiss so that you can inspect the problem in more detail while the service still operates in a hopefully acceptable degraded state.
I'm very conflicted about this. On one hand, I have a little bit of Bitcoin and am happy about some of the gains I've gotten (not life changing in any sense, but more than I expected). On the other hand I hesitated for a long time to buy any because I knew of the large environmental impact that its energy use has (yes, I really did avoid buying Bitcoin for a long time because I roughly knew of the environmental/energy costs). It's hard to reconcile these two positions in my mind, and part of me feels like this is a "tragedy of the commons" situation where it's fine if I have some because everyone else has some as well and I won't impact anything by _not_ having some.

Curious what HNers think about this - is it bad to have Bitcoin in light of how bad the environmental impact is, especially with analysis about the taxes/cost/impact like this? Or is not participating really not reducing the impact of this in any meaningful way so you're kind of only losing if you don't?
How's this different than say https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask-fonts on a Mac?
If we can conclude it's nonsense to say that other systems are more efficient than BTC because other systems aren't proof of work distributed ledgers, maybe it's also nonsense to say that Teslas are more energy efficient than something with a 6 litre V12 engine, because they don't have a throaty growl or run on petrol.

Back in the world of actual use cases, we can probably put a ceiling on the value of circumventing AML laws without using a non-POW altcoin at well below BTC's current energy cost.

Nano completely solves this. Under 1 second transactions fully confirmed, no mining, no inflation, it's decentralized (and getting more so). All the coins were premined. It uses a block lattice rather than a blockchain, so it is scalable (the main net is doing 185 transactions per second now (1776 tps on the test net). The system to determine voting power (regarding confirming transactions) is basically a liquid democracy where you can delegate your voting power (based on how many coins you own) to a different representative at any time. It leaves Bitcoin in the dust and is an incredibly elegant cryptocurrency that will be the future of microtransactions online as well as an actual usable cryptocurrency. nano.org
This 'service' doesn't need to exist. It didn't solve a problem that wasn't already solved, we've had ledgers since the Bronze age, and probably before that. That's not to say that the blockchain itself isn't useful, of course it is for numerous applications, including even financial ones. However, Bitcoin as it stands today is functionally useless apart from being something that our system has decided has value, because.... waves hands.

If bitcoin went away tomorrow, a bunch of financial companies would have a lot of problems, a few big holders would be out money, and that's it. For every other human, it's Thursday.

Conversely, if gasoline didn't exist tomorrow, society would collapse.
I ditched Twitter about 3 months ago but now find myself missing the regular contact I had with some of my followers. Unfortunely, even utilizing Twitter's tools to manage the content of my feed (muted words, retweets off) my feed is still too "schizophrenic".

I've moved away from a "one feed" model of social media. I might still visit Twitter, or read someone's tweets but I'm not looking to have them "pushed" to me in one large messy feed.

Humor, News, Hobbies, Friends etc. are now all siloed to allow me to engage with them based on my mood & needs.

IMHO, "the feed" is the problem.
Bullshit you would be next to julian
The model can't guess your thoughts unless it is trained with your brain activity (fMRI, EEG). After training, you feed it more brain imaging and see what comes out.

I don't know if this could be applied to, say a prisoner in Guantanamo, strapped to a fMRI and forced to look at images while the model trains on his brain activity. The subjects in these experiments are cooperative, while a uncooperative subject could try to blur his sight, meditate, think of loud songs, a movie, food, etc., to dissociate their vision from their thoughts.

How much does it cost to maintain the dollar? It's reserve status is propped up through trillions of dollars spent on the military industrial complex. How much energy does that waste? Massive taxation on Bitcoin, simply because it's energy usage is easily calculated, is questionable.
Yes, this could work, and has definitely been done, sometimes, against other public CAs. We found convincing evidence of this during work at one of my previous employers.

But what tempers my concern over that finding is that we found this by looking at cases where there's clearly a DNS takeover - and actually it was rare to do certificate issuance. In most cases it seems if you can MitM say, an Arab's country's army headquarters group mail servers, you can just offer no encryption or serve a self-signed certificate and the users will accept that. So while the Ten Blessed Methods are, as expected, not enough in the face of a resourceful adversary (in this case perhaps the Mossad, NSA or similar) they're also a padlock on a fence with a huge gaping hole in it anyway, our first attention should be on fixing the hole in the fence.

We had previous experience with writing a compiler for subset of C (during uni), and I also did some learning from the "Crafting Interpreters" book, but regarding the DSL design, I would say it is actually simpler -> we just went kind of ad-hoc and are expanding syntax as we figure out what we need. I am not sure if that is the best process, I would love to learn about the better one if there is one, but it worked so far. Wasp is still pretty simple, really not much more expressive than JSON at the moment, but we hope to add more stuff soon.
While we are using parser combinators right now to parse the language, which is pretty manual process, once it becomes clearer what the language looks like, we will look into capturing it with formal grammar and then use some of the more advanced tools to parse it.

The root of the housing bubble lies in Canada's out of control immigration quotas. This creates an enormous downward pressure for wages which makes housing impossible to afford. The lax immigration system also allows for unparalleled amounts of capital to flow into the country and be parked into assets that are hard to seize (real estate being the prime example). Now, with rampant birth tourism and convenience passports, it's a little pointless to go after foreign ownership: The foreign buyer will simply transfer the properties to his kids who acquired convenience passport via birth tourism and live in the city. If forced to give up assets or freedom in their original country, the real buyer will simply be allowed to immigrate thanks to the family reunification loophole.

Of course, the current government has no interest in stopping it as it's making real estate developers extremely happy and more importantly, gives them a new pool of voters that are sure to keep on voting for ever increasing immigration quotas.

The situation is much better in the US where immigration quotas are kept under control.
