You might be interested in Proof of Stake based blockchains then. They don't require the crazy electricity. Check out Ethereum, Polkadot, and Cardano.

I personally shy away from investing in Bitcoin in favor of those.

Bitcoin also does not provide any mechanism for "smart contracts" either so it has even less utility in my mind.
Check out Khan Academy—it is an exceptional way to learn math. Far better than that Common Core nonsense.
> If we talk about function scope

Note that I'm not simply saying 'match should have function scope', I'm saying that 'case' is literally a function definition. Hence functions defined using the 'case' keywork should work the same as functions defined using other keywords ('def', 'lambda' or 'class').

> you have the opposite problem - how to get value from "inner" to "outer" scope

The same way as if we defined the function using 'lambda' or 'def' or 'class'

> it requires "nonlocal" declaration in the inner scope

That's not a general solution, since it doesn't work in 'lambda'; although this exposes the existing problem that there is already a difference between functions defined using 'def'/'class' and functions defined using 'lambda'. Adding yet another way to define functions ('case') which defines functions that act in yet another different way just makes that worse.

> If energy is priced appropriately, this shouldn't be a problem.

It's not a problem only in the ethical framework of the free market, where the morality of any kind of consumption is judged only by its cost to society.

So for example, in the free market ethics, it's perfectly acceptable, when the water is generally scarce, for somebody to have a swimming pool in their garden (definitely not a necessity in that situation), as long as he can pay for it.

But many, if not all, societies do not fully accept this ethical framework. Often, we collectively agree to limit frivolous usages of extremely scarce resources.
You are absolutely welcome to dispute it, but the fact of the matter is that an engineering team with the expertise, history and resources to write at least two iterations of a CSS processor did their homework and chose to rewrite it in Rust, realizing significant performance gains across a smaller code-base. The advantage to that team being Mozilla is that alot of the discussions that lead to these implementations are captured in meeting documents, bugzilla tickets, other places, like this blog post explaining why and how they got the gains they did: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2017/08/inside-a-super-fast-css-en...

If you want to dispute the claims, do the research, otherwise it's just your opinion against the actual implementation that is shipping to millions of devices.
It's interesting how it's easier to change time than to change the hours in which we work. I wonder if there's any country where the government has enough control over working hours to shift those around instead. Instead of shifting the clock one hour, we could shift the time we start and end work.

It's like DST is the wrong solution to an XY problem.

Thinking practically though, DST is bound to work without enforcement, so it has that advantage.

Fossil fuels are negative.

Ecosystem destruction is negative.

Using energy is not negative.

Focus on the problem. Bitcoin could disappear tomorrow and we'd still be fucked unless we address the real issue.
Oh, this is very interesting. Thank you for the link.

I think some of the questions about what 'free' of charge mean are answered below in the frequently asked questions section.
Costs go down with scale; scale comes from demand.

Energy on earth is not a finite, limited resource. Fossil fuels are finite, but energy is not.

The earth is bombarded with more potential energy every day then we could ever spend, aka solar energy.
To author, the app looks like an efficient way to build an app but would be better if you can add some more examples to showcase wasp-lang actual power. Examples with basic workflow will suffice.

For someone who want to build something fast and prevent themselves from repetitive tasks, they need to be very sure before jumping into a new wasp-lang codebase.
For me, I'm interested in static typing, ECS-ish, fast feedback loops, and 2D games.

I've used Unity in the past and mostly liked it, but it is infuriating that they haven't fully solved the problem of feedback loops (slow refresh times in the Unity editor with a small project after code changes) given that they're operating in a fully managed context.
People thought all the QE during the financial crisis would cause inflation. It has and it hasn't. It has because you just need to look at how asset prices (stocks, houses, etc.) have increased. It hasn't because conveniently many governments don't include asset prices in their calculations of inflation. So although food prices for example haven't shot up and officially rates of inflation have remained low, asset prices have shot up.

Are you actually seeing this or are you conflating criticisms of bitcoin with criticisms of bitcoin miners? Because I feel like I see a lot of the former and very little of the latter, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.
> Why is there no value than in people being able to chose a money/investment vehicle they believe to be to their benefit?

Because the only thing generated is fake money on a spreadsheet. There is no product, there is only consumption of resources to generate nothing.

For all of what's involved here, you could just pull the same amount of money out of thin air, deposit it in their IRA, and nothing changes, apart from way, WAY less energy consumption.
I fear you are suffering from misconceptions about how containerization works. It's as if stating that a compiler is invoked every time when a process starts.

Most Docker images consist of multiple superimposed filesystems. When a container is started, a new empty layer is stacked on top which captures all filesystem writes during the container's execution.

This allows the following features:

- After the container stops running, these layers can be combined into a new image. This is what happens when you build images.

- The original image is never changed and can be used at any time to start a new container.

- When a new version of the application is released, it is not necessary to rebuild the whole image from scratch. You just start from the layers below.

And since we already use far more electricity than renewables generate, I dismissed this concern in my comment.

I mean, if that were valid, wouldn't it be more environmental if we all just left the lights on 24 hours a day? Or turned on thousands of A/C units outdoors?

It's like saying my burning $1000/day of my company's money incentives the company to earn more money, so it's actually a good thing.

Hum... I think you're misunderstanding something.

You have a username/password to Maven Central and you also have a private key to it.

But in order to be granted a groupID (think of it as an account), you need to prove at the time of account creation that you own the domain that matches the groupID (think account name).

So if you try to register com.foo on Maven Central, at that time you need to own foo.com, otherwise you'll be rejected.

If you do own it at that time, well your account is approved and now you have a username/password to it and a private key you need to use to sign artifacts when you publish them.

If your domain expires and is later bought by someone else, that doesn't make them the new owner of your Maven Central groupID.

> The real problem here is that there is no consequence for incorrect takedowns. If content is taken down and then it turns out to be fair use, no one suffers a penalty.

There are exceptions to this. See Lenz v. Universal Music Corp., 801 F.3d 1126 (9th Cir. 2015).

"Lenz v. Universal Music Corp., 801 F.3d 1126 (9th Cir. 2015), is a decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, affirming the ruling in 2008 of the US District Court for the Northern District of California, holding that copyright holders must consider fair use in good faith before issuing a takedown notice for content posted on the Internet."

Java actually doesn't need to add any features for it to support this, it needs to remove them. I recommend reading this excellect article: http://habitatchronicles.com/2017/05/what-are-capabilities/

The gist is:

Rule #1: All instance variables must be private

Rule #2: No mutable static state or statically accessible authority

Rule #3: No mutable state accessible across thread boundaries

The quality of a crate is based on how well it solves the goal it set out to do.

no idea about any of these questions really, in Italy, where my wife is from, everyone is mixed, there is no specialized system for the even the heaviest cases.

I*m pretty sure that of course the statement will be that they are focusing on the affected children if asked directly, it is always about being able to get the help he needs, but things can be defined in one way while still having the other effect as well. Thus I was hoping for scientific research on methodologies and arguments for why one way or the other should be chosen. This is actually why I asked on HN, I figured there might be more people with knowledge of the spectrum who have done the scientific research in the past.

>I kinda have high expectations from the social system in Denmark

many people outside Denmark do, and are surprised when they arrive. Basically in Denmark to get something from the system you need to fight for it, and frankly the best people at fighting for what they want in Denmark are the native Danes who know what to say to other Danes to get their way. I'm a native Dane but brought up outside Denmark so effectively a foreigner, indeed I am nearly always introduced as an American (I am not very integrated so it is to some extent my own fault.)
It's just basic economics as renewables are the most profitable. Most of mining happens in China because the regime has overinvested in hydroelectricity and there's lots of unused capacity available.

There's one study I found (not quite recent though): https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2019/06/74-of-bitcoin-min...
OP: I like that idea. And yes, I've noticed your posts. Hej, söta bror!
...that is why you were congratulated. Nice reading comprehension there. I've had this exact conversation at least a dozen times over the years, it is formulaic. There is always a claim of some kind of nonsensical fraud, after that unravels then it turns to speculation about mass delusion, and it usually ends with political appeal/slander and "we live in a society!" Every year there are positive developments and evidence of wider interest, but the opposition's script has remained unchanged. I got into it with a tech reporter a while ago who was obviously very emotionally invested in bitcoin being a fad/scam/bubble, after searching archives of his timeline I understood why: he had been predicting bitcoin's demise, very confidently and regularly, since back when it was trading at $130. Every year it gets funnier.
"It's the most efficient and least destructive waste of energy imagined."

Excepting political comments this is the dumbest thing I've read on HN.
The logic is wrong here. Assuming bitcoin is a deflationary asset I.e. constantly goes up, the value of any bitcoin will be worth more than the energy used to mine it.

For example, mining the first bitcoin didn’t create $50K in carbon costs.
> If you were all ears you'd know by now that there's no viable alternative to PoW. Or genuinely cared to find out for yourself for that matter.

How are you going to deal with values generated by JS and used to sign requests?
it is not unheard of for something at level x to be developed to level 2x so if it can do 24h now, with higher sample rate and better maths, what if it got to 48h in tractable time?

to the watch-in-a-ward point: valid. But, if this technique did get to 48h+ predictive quality, and was available to wearers of smart watches outside of wards would you still have hesitancy to consider it useful?
If you can splurge, the GDC Vault has a lot of good talks with devs from every discipline.

Why is it "excessive"? We are running 30+ fixes a day in these kernel releases, who would benefit if we delayed in getting those known-bug/security fixes out to the world quickly and properly tested (as we are currently doing)?

Do you think the bitcoin mining rigs materialize themselves out of thin air? Those things get constantly replaced because they get inefficient due to the rising hashrate and advancements in chip efficiency.
I have been developing scrapers and crawlers and writing[1] about them for many years and used many Python based libs so far including Selenium. I have write such scrapers for individuals and startups for several purposes. The biggest issue I faced was rendering of dynamic sites and blocking of IPs due to absence of proxies which are not cheap at all, especially for individuals.

Services like Scrapingbee and ScraperAPI are serving quite good for such problems. I personally liked ScraperAPI for rendering dynamic websites due to the better response time.

Shameless Plug: In case if anyone is interested, long time back, I had written about it on my blog which you can read here[2]. Now you do not need to setup remote Chrome instance or anything. What all is required is to hit an API endpoint to fetch content from a dyanmic JS rendered websites.

How to Submit a Proposal
Bitcoin is unique in that anyone with a power outlet and internet connection can plug hardware in and start converting energy to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin mining was a problem in college dorms for a while because students used their “free” electricity and cooling to pay for new video cards. Many landlords had to abandon “utilities included” rents when they were hit with the first $500 electric bill. IT administrators have stories of catching people trying to hide mining equipment in closets or under their desks.

But coiners are trying to get ahead of the narrative by planting articles about how mining is actually powered by hydro dams in Mongolia. Not only is this not true, but it would be quite a problem if the mining had become so massively centralized.

> Normally ACME clients renew their certificates when one third of their lifetime is remaining, and don’t contact our servers otherwise.

At least newer versions of Certbot, and I believe some other ACME clients, will also try to discern if the certificate is Revoked when considering it. So if you have a daily cron job running Certbot, and your certificate with 60 days left on it has been revoked since yesterday, Certbot ought to notice that and attempt to replace it as if it had expired.

If you are doing OCSP stapling, and if your stapling implementation is good (sadly last I looked neither Apache nor nginx were) this ought to be enough to make a mass revocation event survivable for you. Your server will notice the latest OCSP answers now say it's revoked and continue to hand out the last GOOD answer it knew, some time later before that OCSP answer expires your Certbot should replace the certificate with a good one. Seamless.

The new ACME feature is welcome, not least because there are a tremendous number of those bad Apache servers out there, but (unless I misunderstand) I think it's already possible to survive this sort of catastrophe without service interruption.
How to Become a Virtual Assistant? – Guideline from a Freelancer
Yeah of course, my electricity comes from renewable sources but my neighbor's electricity comes from fossil fuels... I can feel it in my gut. I'm a good person as evidenced by how much money I was able to accumulate so my electricity could only come from a good place like everything else in my wonderful life. I'm not making this up, my spiritual advisor told me so multiple times... Also I donated a bunch of money to Greta Thunberg... So much positive energy in my life. Only positive energy.
1) Not a currency, 2) Debateable that it's value at all, and 3) "controlled by a select few people" is a remarkably paranoid/conspiracy way to frame that central banking is a necessary function of government.

tzset(3) explains this. GNU is actually sort of bailing the author out in the unfortunate cases like America/New_York where it ignores you forgot to provide the prepending colon.

In terms of EDT, LOL, etc: again, well explained in the tzset manpage. EST works only because it appears the timezone database has EST and again, GNU is being helpful and assuming you meant to add the prepended colon.
Furthermore nothing about bitcoin is "necessary", even in some loose consumer-demand sense of the term.

- There are other, better cryptocurrencies that don't bake the planet.

- There are other, better financial infrastructures that process more transactions and provide a better stable store of value.

- There are other, better distributed computing networks that do more than calculate sha256 over and over again.

hah that would be cool! One reason we are excited about the DSL approach is that it allows us to 'capture' web app's requirements in a declarative structure separated from the implementation.

As you mentioned, that means it could be possible to generate Wasp DSL via other means as well, not just by writing it down directly (e.g. via a visual editor), and some specific parts could be even assisted by AI.
The TLS CA system is one of those places where a single failure point is absolutely better than distributed possibilities. That is the case because any failure anywhere compromises the entire system.

Of course, the other failure points didn't completely go away yet. But I do expect their number to reduce a lot in the future.
It changes the amplitude of the difference, it makes the contrast more and more clear and it expands the dimension of what we can consider a "city center".
