Apple has a lot of programming related courses and tools. The docs, and their relative quality has been discussed a lot here.

But in general universities have been teaching the tools of specific industries for a long time. Sometimes entire departments or buildings are sponsored by specific companies or programs underwritten as “industry-academic partnerships” when the research aims are aligned with strategic goals of a particular company.

For example, Oregon State University’s College of Forestry has a Tallwood Design Institute:

“Its core tenets are the importance of industry collaboration, through outreach, education and feedback from professionals.”

So, teaching a particular framework may be more explicit, but it isn’t unusual activity.

Is it accurate to say that your only evidence that this article constitutes "Apple bashing" is the word "ban"?

If so, that seems hypersensitive and defensive IMO.

A "de facto ban" is not a "de jure ban", so it's already a pretty weak statement.
Two points:

- how does the performance of those fare against Stylo?

- the developer of Chrome is so insanely rich that only a tiny tiny fraction of their budgets in practice finance all of Firefox.

Summary: Mozilla manages to make an equally good or better CSS engine with a lower budget?

(I admit Google might be running the Chrome team on a shoestring but my bet is they don't as coming in a position were they can kill ad blocking really would be a fantastic strategic advantage for them and would be worth billions a year.)
> How do you know this is a wrong belief that will stay wrong?

How do you know it won't?

Just because some beliefs that used to be "wrong" are now considered "right", does not mean all beliefs that used to be "wrong" will in the future be considered "right".

As the quote says, "They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."
I don't find it credible, because your statement is likely assuming that no energy used to produce bitcoin is "clean", like solar. I might be misunderstanding though.

Could you provide additional information?

Good point regarding mindfulness. I'd say we differ on this topic or at least your explanation in its relevance. Mindfulness is about being present and you could argue fully absorbing yourself in it. This can be debilitating in the moment if you want to truly understand a bitter taste or a painful feeling. I think the article and being in battle is about being resilient and coming to terms with the situation. Mindfulness provides an appreciation and empathy for it but does not directly allow you to transcend it in adverse situations. Just my opinion.

Why do these discussions so often assume electricity is a finite resource? Are people not able to turn their lights on because of Bitcoin miners?

When Bitcoin miners consume electricity shouldn't that increased demand affect the market price and dis-incentivize mining? What other use of electricity has such a high price elasticity? People don't turn off their ACs in the middle of summer because electricity costs are high -- they value comfort, a lot. But miners, IIUC, shut down their ASICs when they're unprofitable. Bitcoin mining is extremely price sensitive.

If Bitcoin mining is driving up local electricity prices it seems worthy of local regulation. It also seems like an incentive for increased energy production -- and given today's prices would most likely be clean energy production.

The report states Bitcoin's consumption is 39% clean energy. That is considerably higher than the overall portion of global energy consumption from renewables. Does this not mean Bitcoin is a large source of demand for renewable energy?
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-electricity-renewab...

Increased demand increases prices in the short-run and incentivizes production -- decreasing prices, and further increasing usage in the long-run. Right? What am I missing?

According to this study [0] you are correct. The problems related are mostly management while the technical ones rarely cite language issues.

The value of bitcoin is that it is a money with a fixed supply. A gold-backed government currency is approximately the same and would render bitcoin unnecessary. Yet no government is willing to issue currency that is convertible to gold on demand. Why? Because of greed. People with control over currencies want to be able to make money at will, unconstrained by the necessity to produce value or even to persuade citizens to pay higher taxes.

The electricity costs of bitcoin is the cost of countering government officials who insist on maintaining the power to inflate their currencies. The cost is analogous to the cost of freedom-seeking citizens of a despotic government. Enormous resources are used up in North Korea as the government seeks to control and restrain its population and some individuals seek to resist and escape. One could blame this cost on the Dear Leader who seeks to impose his will on the population or on the selfish individuals who resist him. It depends on your point of view.
"apt for fonts" is called apt.

If you want the testing fonts, you add:

/etc/apt/sources.d/fonts.list:

deb http://http.debian.net/debian sid main contrib non-free

and

/etc/apt/preferences.d/pinning:

Package: fonts-*
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 600

(priority between 500 and 989 means "causes a version to be installed unless there is a version available belonging to the target release or the installed version is more recent")

and after you apt update, you have access to sid.

I find javascript (node) to be best suited to web scraping personally. Using the same language to scrape/process as you use to develop those interfaces seems most natural.
Pretty much. It is only useful in cases where you are making very large transactions. At that point, you have few enough actors that setting up a trusted network is far, far cheaper and more flexible. The trustless nature of Bitcoin is what makes it unscalable.
Managing fonts is not great on Linux in general. I'll make sure I give this a go.

A good font can make a big difference if you are in the terminal or editor all day. It's a pain to get unity between them though.
I don't agree with this. Reliability and transactional/atomic reads and writes are different things.

"Reliable" is also a vague value judgement.

"Shared memory" implies data coherency.
The teams thing is interesting. It bit me a few months ago because a teammate accidentally registered for a race with the wrong car. He couldn't back out or join the race with the new team the rest of us registered with because he was already in a team.

I'm not sure why it's implemented this way, but given the issues with registration/session creation for the Daytona 24 hour this year I'd guess the team event registration is write only and doesn't permit updates in order to simplify the session creation logic.
I was going to point that the universe is not relevant here, only humans, the energy we produce and how we produce it matters. But then I realized that either your comment must be tongue in cheek or you are trying to hard to rationalize this than there is no point on try to convince you.

Hard to say, really. It's one of those compromises, quis custodiet and all that.

I very much agree with you: a government has a monopoly on violence and ultimately we all end up trusting it. Too many checks and balances lead to gridlock. Too few lead to oppression. Much of it ends up being decided on inertia. We do it both ways in different jurisdictions, with successes and failures in both.
> The US went to war against Iraq ostensibly because of Saddam's WMD programs (which were only later conclusively found not to exist)

This position assumes the US is completely incompetent and invaded a country for a fake reason. I’d argue that’s nonsense- they knew exactly what they were doing but the reason wasn’t palatable to the American people so they had to fabricate a “better” reason.
Also, if you accidentally drive 3601 miles, you lose on the transaction :)

Ask HN: Have You Consulted with Experts?
Have you found yourself looking for technical experts and paid them to consult on a pain-point in your company? AWS Shield Advanced service charges $3,000 per month. Are there places where you go for consulting on issues of scaling, security or otherwise?
At a previous job I pushed hard for this in a project I was responsible for, despite initial buy-in as time went on there was a consistent level of pushback about relaxing this requirement and allowing just importing anything ( the architecture of this was basically a separate repo storing ALL the dependencies where only a couple of people had commit access and where new dependencies were allowed after vetting )

Fortunately there was a hard legal requirement to vet every dependency license, otherwise I am not sure I would have been able to keep this workflow. As other posts say you do need a very strong commitment at the management level for this to work, besides security (where it feels that often it matters only until it costs money or until it’s even slightly inconvenient) it might be helpful to make a legal case (what if we ship something with a nested dependency on AGPL ) to get some help to establish these procedures.

I have been writing and architecting security related software for pretty much all my career and I find it quite scary how these days so much software delegates so much control to unvetted external dependencies.
Interesting concept - I've thought much on this, and really as with all meal things, it's a cultural phenomenon, not a convenience phenomenon. You have the opportunity to make that shift if you so choose and buck the delivery/minimal prep/... trend.

Too many have tried to make luxury experiences 'easy' - which is antithetical to the experience. Don't succumb to that 'scalability' urge if you can.

I like python for the ease of use and scraping is I/O bound anyways so there's no pressure to switch to a more performant language.
Because we live on a planet of finite resources, Economics is fundamentally about how we distribute those resources, and somewhere in the range of many to most people are already unwilling to reduce their consumption of said resources enough to actually stop climate change, including many people who believe it is an immediate threat to all life on the planet.

This doesn't even touch the billions of low consumers who most likely would prefer to be consuming more, not less, of those resources.
Having seen only the two videos on the article's page, I actually thought they'd passed the valley. To me, they successfully looked artificial (though there were moments where they could have been real) but almost never creepy.
Thanks for the context, those are great points.
In my career I found several reasons not to use regular expressions for parsing an HTML response, but the largest was the fact that it may work for 'properly formed' documents, but you would be surprised how lax all browsers are about requiring the document to be well-formed. Your regex, unless particularly handled, will not be able to handle sites like this (and there are a lot, at least from my career experience). And you may be able to work 'edge cases' into your RegEx, but good luck finding anyone but the expression author who fully understands and can confidently change it as time goes on. It is also a PITA to debug when groupings/etc. aren't working (and there will be a LOT of these cases with HTML/XML documents).

It is honestly almost never worth it unless you have constraints on what packages you can use and you MUST use regular expressions. Just do your future-self a favor and use BeautifulSoup or some other package designed to parse the tree-like structure of these documents.

One way it can be used appropriately is just finding a pattern in the document- without caring where it is w.r.t. the rest of the document. But even then, do you really want to match: <!-- <div> --> ?
I find that a bit annoying too. My solution is to fire the same file and line using `less` on a parallel window (e.g. in byobu) with the -S enabled (which I have enabled by default) which allows you to scroll to the right instead of wrapping the text. You can then edit the line in nano, and refresh (with Shift+R) as appropriate in less to compare with the lines above.

Finishing is what separates a nicely cooked meal from the version you would find in a Michelin star restaurant. The way it's sliced, the way it's placed on the plate, whatever else is on the plate, and how it's finally served to the diner is all of the final details that go into gourmet service. I tried signing up for this service but it's not in my area yet.

It looks like its just an upscale version of delivery. But instead of eating out of a takeout container, it's meant to go onto real plates with ingredients and instructions on how to serve it like they would at the restaurant. Many upscale places never did takeout simply because you cannot 100% recreate the experience when the food has been traveling in a bag for 30mins. I'm not sure what they are doing different but there is probably some reheating involved (like cook a steak halfway at the restaurant and then you sear it at home). Neat idea I guess for those that are too lazy to cook but want upscale dining at home. I don't see this lasting very long once things return to normal.

Something I'd rather see is a daily SMS service that sends out recipes for these kinds of menus. I don't mind spending a little extra money to have a gourmet experience at home but I'd rather be the one cooking everything fresh.
This video is comparing a new EV with a new ICE. I was talking about using an existing EV or ICE for longer time rather than buying an entirely new car. Of course it's easier to re-use ICE than most older EVs which don't have durable enough batteries.

> The match block is more syntactically similar to if/while/etc. blocks, and so it makes sense that it would follow similar scoping rules.

I would argue that a stack of 'case's are a 'lambda' (and in particular a single 'case x: ...' is equivalent), and hence they should have function scoping like 'lambda' does.

'match' is a distraction; it's just a function call written backwards, i.e. `match x: f` is equivalent to `f(x)` (in this case Python happens to require `f` to be implemented using the stack-of-'case's form, but that seems incidental; similar to how 'raise' and 'except' are a general form of control flow, despite Python requiring values to be wrapped in something descended from 'Exception')

I'm not a fan of Musk and am very skeptical of his vision of the future and self-driving cars in general but assuming these vehicles all have a low carbon footprint this seems like a possible net win considering the improvements to cities this could help drive.

Parking needs are a scourge on city density since office buildings and the like require parking structures increasing sprawl as well as the ability to build things like safe bike lanes, wider sidewalks, or pedestrian thoroughfares since street parking is needed for shorter term trips. Reducing parking inside cities would help make them more livable for those of us who do not own vehicles and would hopefully make that type of lifestyle more appealing to more people reducing the number of vehicles on the road.

All that of course would require a level of city leadership I'm also skeptical of but taken on its own the idea of cars being able to self-park further from city centers doesn't immediately strike me as a bad one.

Just the tech parts of it?

Significantly less than cryptocurrency, and it handles more than a million concurrent transactions every second, with capacity to handle loads in the tens of millions of transactions per second.

Bitcoin can handle 7 transactions for second, and requires more electricity than a small country to do so.
Asset values don't reflect economic impact/relevance (as in a $100MM Picasso doesn't indicate $100MM of economic activity). That's why GDP is used as an indicator for economic growth, not market caps.

Proof of Stake has proven quite robust. None of the larger PoS coins have been compromised (despite much theoretical discussion), and newer ones such as Cardano seem to address early objections. Peercoin has been around for a while without any issues.

The fact is, I see all of those massive distributed consensus algorithms as much more robust than they appeared initially. 51%/double spend attacks in practice are extremely hard to occur because of the exposure/publicity of the ledger and how hard it would be to capitalize on crashing the currency (PoS/PoW does not change it).
Saying Rust allowed Mozilla to achieve a better result for less money is a much softer claim than saying C++ is an unsuitable language choice for this problem, which is what I was responding to.

One tip I would pass on when trying to scrape data from a website, start by using wget in mirror mode to download the useful pages. It's much faster to iterate on scraping the data once you have it locally. Also, less likely to accidentally kill the site or attract the attention of the host.
nano is available because it was made to be, pico is similarly small. nano was created, in large part, as a response to the license of pico, while (at the time) intending to be a drop-in replacement. Since it was under the GPL and became included in most distros, it was developed further than pico, because users of pico had to seek it out. It wasn't present on most systems without installing it yourself (or having an admin who did).

> Gold does not take the electricity resources of a large country to render it secure and make transactions possible.

Except it does [0].

> Gold is pretty to look at and can be made into jewellery, not intrinsically worthless.

The first argument is laughable, the second is simply incorrect. Oil is intrinsically worthless. It's worth something only if you can turn it into fuel, plastic or some other product for which there is demand. Same goes for gold.

And although it's true that you can turn a piece of gold into a piece of jewelry that piece of jewelry will decrease in value over time unless it gains intangible value because of its history. Try buying a gold necklace and selling it the next day at the same value.

Nothing has "intrinsic" value. All value is relative.

Mining companies from the 1840's or maybe the rich white folk who moved to the area much much later should have researched before sticking holes in the ground.
I think most of that is hydro-power or geothermal energy, as in some situation, these produce excess energy locally at times.

This is not the same as "renewable" energy, it's locally bound opportunistic energy. Hydro- and geothermal power is limited and almost exhausted already. These power sources are not chosen because they are ecologically neutral, but because mining is portable and can opportunistically use temporary cheap sources, like hydro-electrical dams build before the intended consumers arrived. Nothing in Bitcoin inherently favors sustainable energy sources, over cheap supply. In the coming years, we will have to bite the bullet and chose very expensive endeavors over what the market suggests. Bitcoin doesn't fit this future. It's suggested "value" is nothing compared to humanity's survival.
