If so, the examples are indeed not in any way exhaustive. But I don’t believe they are intended to be, nor could/should be.
The other side of this is people assuming sydney time is brisbane or adelaide time, because they have limited experiental knowledge of a continent. we're well trained with mountain/central/eastern and Hawaii but we sometimes forget that LA is not next door to Chicago, I mean how far can it be?

Well.. Brisbane is not Sydney time. half the year we're 1 hour offset. AEST is not AEDT.
Remote memory does not count as shared because of the atomicity problems. The same reason _local_ memory doesn't count as shared the minute you spin up two writer threads with access to the same mutable memory space. (And why Rust is popular for distributed problems that share the same clock)

If you replaced Memcache with a single Redis instance where all operations were managed by Lua scripts (e. g. you introduced atomicity to your operations) you wouldn't have a distributed system, just one with slow, sometimes rather faulty memory.

Not really. I used IDEs for five years (Atom~2yrs, Sublime~6mos, VSCode~2yrs) professionally and then switched to vim and I've been using that pretty exclusively for about a year now.

It really depends on more than just the editor you use. If you're using vim/emacs with common cli tools like grep, find, sed, awk, git, etc then you will probably be less productive with an IDE, at least without heavy customization, but if you're managing a lot of that functionality with plugins, then an IDE would probably be roughly on par for productivity.

You're right. Now that I went through the other questions this became obvious.
There is already massive demand for energy, and massive investments in reducing the cost of energy, especially green energy. Scaling benefits come from order of magnitude increases in demand, not single digit percentage increases in demand.
From the article: bitcoin production emits 20 million metric tons of CO2. Average car emits 4.6 metric tons of CO2.

It matters little if some of the electricity came from green sources because the energy not consumed by bitcoin production could have been used elsewhere. I have yet to hear about bitcoin production that consumes electricity that would otherwise been gone to waste. For example, using one's nVidia GPUs to heat your house does not count because using electricity for resistive heating is wasteful.

The left-pad situation wasn't simply that lots of projects were relying on left-pad directly, it was that they were relying on projects that were relying on projects that were relying on left-pad.

Some dependencies are too large to rewrite yourself - most statistical suites would fall under this definition - and while accepting their direct code might be acceptable, it's not usually feasible to fork their code and rewrite the parts that aren't. Lots of smaller parts you could write yourself quickly add up.

No one is forced to upgrade to a newer version either.

Now, perhaps the problem in your eyes is the old version isn't being maintained. But I see the opposite: maintaining two versions indefinitely is the problem. The Haskell community is not infinitely big, nor growing fast enough, that if e.g. 1/2 went to Idris and 1/2 stayed, it wouldn't be catastrophic.

Making the changes we need to make, and then making it as easy as possible for everyone to migrate, I think is the best way.

From the article: "In the coming weeks, iOS 14.5 will require apps that engage in “3rd Party Tracking” to ask explicit permission, which most users will opt out of."

If most users opt out, then an analytics SDK becomes effectively useless. You're ranting about the possibility of using an analytics SDK - which nobody is denying, because it's a "de facto" ban, not a "de jure" ban. But an analytics SDK that gathers almost no analytics is not even worth having. So in effect, it's a ban.

> All they will have to do is indicate third party tracking in the App description and present an opt-in dialog.

Oh, that's all. And then get no analytics. But they can still "use" the analytics SDK... to do nothing.

You know, I don't even have any analytics whatsoever in my apps. I have no horse in this race. But I've got no problem with the phrase "de facto ban". It seems like a reasonable description of the situation. And again, some people would love a de jure ban, so it's not like the author of the article is using a "naughty" word.
Pretty sure the existing system of capitalism and Democracy is undermining confidence in itself.

If they're really being generated client-side, you're free to generate them yourself by any means you want. But also, that's a strange thing for the website to do, since it's applying a security feature (signatures) in a way that prevents it from providing any security.

If they're generated server-side like you would expect, and sent to the client, you'd get them the same way you get anything else, by asking for them.
Sure! But my point is there's no one true way to do it and you always have to think about what you're trying to represent and how you're going to use it.

Also, I would argue time manipulation is full of many "edge cases" like this one, which is why it's so hard. It's going to work fine until it doesn't.
It’s more obvious with a specific example.

Write a law that makes penalties for speeding without directly defining the speed limit on every road. Then write a law giving the department of motor vehicles the ability to define a different speed limit for each stretch of road.

As such government agencies aren’t actually creating laws, but the laws are written to give their choices legal weight.
> The energy usage of Bitcoin doesn't meaningfully go up with more transactions,

No it just always always goes up regardless of transaction volume as the block-difficulty increases infinitely. You've built a system that by design can literally only become less efficient.

It's actually even worse and stupider than if it were a per-transaction energy usage.
To be 100% clear, I believe your comment is exactly the type of valid counterargument I'm talking about, i.e. you bring up unique issues that Bitcoin solves, and point out that other monetary systems have high costs as well. Those are things one can have an honest debate about.

That is very different than the "HN is so anti-Bitcoin bringing up decade old strawmen" comment I responded to. Perhaps most obviously by the fact that there are many in the crypto community itself that believe the energy usage of BTC is a real problem and are attempting to come up with viable alternatives like proof of stake.
Hardware is not a problem, but getting a 4g or 5g service plan for PC instead of mobile.

It is almost impossible to find an for internet only data. All of the providers bundle it with TV or phone.

So if you already have a phone plan and want a separate plan to say travel and connect with your business laptop, there may not be an option for you.
Maybe? I'm sitting on the sidelines very comfortably hoping a bunch of people don't get hurt. I feel as if the bulls are ignoring the fundamentals and limitations of Bitcoin.

I agree with Bitcoin being neither money nor commodity - nor anything else, really. To me Bitcoin is Gamestop on a grander scale, a bunch of people deciding something has value that really has none (or in the case of Gamestop very little). I don't regret "missing" the hype in either case, preferring investments that make sense based on the fundamentals (assets, cashflow, profits, etc) instead of bets on pure speculation.

I do, of course, want to be "right" about Bitcoin (who doesn't like being right?) but it's far more of a curiosity for me than anything else.
Great job guys and love hearing stories about brothers working together.

So like the main problem with this is like the long standing one of time...while I would actually love to work with a better way to build webapps with modern stack elements, no matter what relearning to do everything in Wasp will take at least a month.

What if after all the time you discover an issue with the framework that prevents you from being able to complete your project?

Is it possible to extend the included base libs and work natively if need be?

I guess as long as devs have the ability to push Wasp aside and work directly with the libs, there is nothing that you could not eventually do.

Just some quick thoughts but Im gonna give this a whirl this week.

Some extended timezone databases even have tried to collect historic city timezones from before the railroads, most often to the nearest 15 minute offset, but sometimes even minute specific offsets. It's interesting to explore those.

On that Michigan versus Maine thing, as someone in a city that historically was -0045 from its current timezone, I feel it interesting to point out that DST is closer to local noon than "Standard Time" in the city, versus that cities that define the other edge of the time zone and have local noon closer to Standard Time noon. (Our hour-wide time zones make the question of DST versus Standard Time much more complex than just picking one or the other, when talking about abolishing DST or standardizing only on DST.)

Bitcoiners bring up inflation as if our only two options for investment are cash under the mattress or buying Bitcoin.

I keep my investments in companies and assets like most other investors. The economic stimulus might devalue the <1% of USD cash I keep around for transactions, but my actual investments will likely benefit from the stimulus. As a bonus, I get to operate in an economy that has been buffered against the effects of COVID.

It’s amazing that Bitcoin proponents only ever want to talk about the USD (or other local currency) value of their Bitcoin, yet they want us to ignore the fact that Bitcoin isn’t the only option for investing cash.
To me, "apt for fonts" is something similar to apt, but centered around and specialized in fonts. Like, say, eprairie, the "ebay for bison" – I can list those rare bison I need to get rid of on ebay, but people won't be able to search for horn curvature, but I expect eprairie will have that.

Good to know there are some fonts on apt, though!
The Opteron A1100 processor that AMD was using for its ARM based server lines are not using any AMD In-House custom designed ARM cores they use the Arm Holdings Reference Design A57 cores and that's all for that SKU!

AMD did have Jim Keller, at the same time that Keller/His team where working on the Zen x86 core, also working on a Keller/Arm K12 team project for an AMD custom ARM K12 Core where that Arm core was essentially using the same design ethos as Zen but that the K12 custom core was engineered to Decode and Execute the ARMv8A ISA.

But AMD's K12 custom ARM core project was mothballed and that project placed on the back burners in favor of x86 based Zen. AMD still has the Verilog(Blueprints) for K12 as Keller/K12 Team where far enough along with that for that design to be considered completed.
Without a doubt it is inefficient. Now US government can arm twist wist Visa and Mastercard to stop serving companies they dont like (Po*nhub). They can not do that to Bitcoin. This is the value the inefficiency adds.

> The very fact it can be fabricated into something of value gives it some intrinsic value.

That's a plain contradiction. Oil is valuable because there is demand for products manufactured with it. In a world where there's no demand for gasoline, plastic or any other derivative of oil the "intrinsic value" of oil is zero, which proves there is no such thing as intrinsic value that isn't relative to a market.

Just to be clear we're discussing commodities and not company stocks, for which there is a very specific definition of "intrinsic value", according to fundamental analysis at least.

I'm pretty sure you're the one who's confused, but ok.

Sure, you can argue that nuclear (or whatever) is a better way to produce energy than most/all others currently known, but that's a very low bar to clear.

There are more and less sucky ways to produce energy, but let's be clear: all of them suck to some degree. There is no type of energy production where the mere act of producing that energy is a net positive.

Then the argument turns to whether or not the gains from proof of wasted energy-type systems outweigh the drawbacks of producing the required energy -- even if that energy is produced in the least sucky way. I'm firmly in the no camp.
It's very impressive. The innovation here is the generator, that is able to generate realistically constrained geometry and materials. It's probably based on massive amount of 3D scans and GANs, or something similar.

Notice that they're realtime rendered, so they don't look completely realistic, but that is the easy part that has been solved already. It's possible to render those characters with offline renderers and they will look photorealistic.
He says that bitcoin has "no intrinsic value" and he's wrong about that, because value of something is not decided by financial experts, but by people willing to pay for it (even if those people are criminals looking for new ways to launder their money).

He has also been predicting that "Bitcoin bubble will burst" for the past few years, and he's been wrong about it so far.

So yes, I would say he is clueless when it comes to Bitcoin.

> I'm saying that 'case' is literally a function definition

And I don't agree with saying it like that. I would agree with "a 'case' could be seen as a function definition". In other words, that's just one possible way to look at it, among others.

Note that from PoV of the functional programming, everything is a function. And block scope is actually recursively lexical lambda.

And OTOH function inlining is a baseline program transformation. Currently in Python, whether a syntactic element (not explicitly a function) gets implemented as a function is an implementation detail. For example, comprehension happen to be implemented as functions. But just as well they could be inlined.

Note that function calls are generally expensive, and even more so in Python. Thus, any optimizing Python implementation would inline whenever it makes sense (called once is obviously such a case). (CPython hardly can be called an optimizing impl, though since 3.8, there's noticeable work on that).
As a further elaboration on this point: range becomes far less of a concern with widespread charging stations. If every parking lot was covered with solar panels and every space had a charger on it, the "range" concern would evaporate pretty much immediately for day-to-day use; just plug the car in at every stop to top it off.
Now include the environmental impact of all visa employees. You can’t divorce the effects of the people who run the system (which are relatively very insignificant for Bitcoin) from the effects of the system itself.
Note though that the study does not use (or even mention) the oximeter. They use heart rate variability.

Edit: They probably also used the older model as the study was submitted in November and the Apple Watch with oximeter came out in September, and was seriously supply constrained.
A current ASIC bitcoin miner will do 90 Terahashes per second (1 Terahash = 1 trillion hashes) while consuming 3420 Watts which is equivalent to 38 Watts per Terahash (38 W/TH). Average power consumption will be higher, though those with big dedicated rigs probably make up the bulk of the network's processing power.

The entire bitcoin mining network which processes all transactions does 120 Exahashes (120,000,000 terahashes) per second. Were all mining done on comparable asics this would be 4.56 GW to run the whole network, which in turn means electricity consumption would be 4.56 million kwh per hour. At the time of this writing bitcoin is averaging 14,814 transactions per hour, meaning the average electricity consumption per transaction is 308 kwh. I could easily see the average hash efficiency for the whole network being half of what a 2020 dedicated mining rig can do.

Do note that this is transaction processing on bitcoin proper, which is artificially limited to processing less than 7 transactions per second. There are lots of things that we would think of as transactions that don't have to go into this number. For example if you have a trusted marketplace, you can have all the transactions which take place within the marketplace in a given time period lumped together as a single transaction, and thus you only need to do a "real" transaction when you deposit or withdraw money from that market. This is the concept behind many cryptocurrencies meant to "speed up" bitcoin. So really it's not so much a 5 hour flight every time you use a credit card, but a 5 hour flight every time you get a new credit card - still inefficient, but far less extreme.
Making a "language laboratory" for typed languages, (as opposed FFI with lowest common denominators like C or so-and-so untyped, garbage-collected language) is an open problem. I think it can be solved, but until it is, it's wishful thinking to pretend a multitude of similar languages doesn't result in tragic fragmentation of a small community.
> and the ability to get a certificate isn't the worst of the operators problems

That assumes a lot about the operators goals and values. It may very well be their worst problem. Eg. a journalist in a dictatorial area will very likely prefer not to have a cloud service than to upload his data into some compromised service.

It's just that, if it is their worst problem, TLS is patently insufficient, so they must think about it when setting the system up.
