Hate speech should be defined by laws rather than ToSes.

With a ToS you can make it up as you like. Speaking against having pets could be hate speech against pet owners. I mean it could mean whatever the mods want it to mean. You can circumscribe it to only affect people you want affected for whatever reason.

Anything NT based was a few orders of magnitude better than the old Win 95 systems that gave windows a reputation for crashing. That is what happens when you put some effort into good design. Things have gotten better because Microsoft has learned. Then again, everyone else has gotten better now.
At D-Wave, we have a software stack that (no surprise) is entirely Linux based to talk to the QPU. After all, we expect users of classical computers to formulate and submit problems over a classical Internet using classical APIs, and we expect to hire classical developers to work on all of the parts of the system that aren't frozen down to a hair above absolute zero.

You're not far off on some of your assumptions for how it ends up working in reality. We do see it as an accelerator for specific operations, specifically for optimization problems; however, much as people originally saw GPUs as being for gaming, there's a lot of room for creative individuals to explore the capabilities of the system and see what other uses it can be put to.

We have a cloud IDE now with excellent visualization tools, and it's free to get started. You should definitely go check it out, considering how interested you sound; it should be very educational. Any developer with some basic Python skill can learn how to fire off toy problems to it, the hard part where you need more of a statistics and hard math background is in mapping real-world optimization problems to the Ising model we use.
If you want to try and coax the awareness out, put paper and pencil/pen next to your bed so that as you’re waking up you can jot down anything that might be the edge of a dream.

Even if you start with a single word once every few weeks, in time that can grow.
If we are looking for academic research to understand random asset bubbles similar to recent Gamestop events, Vernon Smith's Bubbles and Crashes experimental paper seems much more enlightening than this overview. https://www.jstor.org/stable/1911361?seq=1
Following reports of a new alien war machine in the ancient Fal'leesh river delta, K'breel, speaker for the Council, stressed that again, there was no cause for alarm:

"This is the last, futile gesture of the disease-ridden apes that foul the sinister blue planet third from our star. We will persevere, no matter the risks, no matter the costs. Our gelsacs swell with pride at the thought of the Enemy's inevitable self-immolation augered by their fitful attempts to travel among the stars."

When Junior Reporter #AXI-1138 of the Celestial News Network attempted to ask the Speaker whether there was any truth to reports of the machine's successful landing, activation, and telemetry transmissions, K'breel called it fake news and ritualistically crushed the reporter's gelsacs with the lectern's Bhan'ammer.
You're forgetting about errors that happen due to programming mistakes.

I've never seen an end-user application accompanied by a written a specification about what happens if there is a run-time error due to a mistake in the program.

Your original thesis is something like that "there are not errors, only conditions we care about"; but then this subsequent argument is disappointingly about environmental conditions only.

If I have a program that takes two run-time inputs and divides them, I may or may not specify what happens if the denominator is zero. I could explicitly specify that the behavior is not defined; my program can do anything. (In practice, any decent processor will catch it via some numeric exception.)

If my program generates a division by zero due to a programming bug, where no such division is implied by the specification of what the program does on the inputs which it is given, that's something we don't bother specifying. Not usually.

Anything can happen if the program has a mistake. A document listing all possible mistakes and how the program will react will not only be intractably long, but in the course of writing it, you would just inspect that the program doesn't have those mistakes. In the end, you'd be left with a document describing mistakes that the program doesn't actually contain, while it remains vulnerable to unknown mistakes.

We might be required to have a strategy for the software to deal with its own faults in a general way, if we are working on something safety-critical. Such as that no matter how the program might fail, the system as a whole will revert to a safe state.
Google tweaks diversity, research policies following inquiry
There is a lot of effort currently being put into creating web applications. It would be nice if we could use the fruits of that labor on desktop and mobile applications.

That's how I understand it, anyway.
Facebook did not suspend their entire service, they suspended every page that was listed in the news category which is in line with government regulations. This had the unfortunate effect on blocking a lot of government pages like the health and fire department pages since these are technically news under the definition of the law. Facebook has since unblocked most of these important service pages.
DAoC had some of the better PvP mechanics of that generation of MMOs. I played DAoC for years, and eventually moved to WoW for a little while. WoW always felt too easy and never really gave me the same rush that DAoC did.

I still remember the day I gave a friend of mine my DAoC accounts. He later sold them when he quit, and gave me some cash back :)

A Portrait of Sylvan LaCue – People Like Games Interview Series
You didn’t continue far enough down the hierarchy to find the places where microservices actually work. Honestly if you’re just calling a remote endpoint whose URL is embedded in your codebase and with the hard coded assumption that it will follow a certain contract you’re not moving down the binding hierarchy at all - you ‘re somewhere around ‘dynamic library loading’ in terms of indirection.

It gets much more interesting when you don’t call functions at all - you post messages. You have no idea which systems are going to handle them or where... and at that point, microservices are freeing.

All this focus on function call binding just seems so... small, compared to what distributed microservice architectures are actually for.

There are some farmers (the richer ones from some states) that will lose out in this farm bill.

The jury is out on whether it provides any benefits at all to the average farmer who hardly has any land to start with.

also, the govt is seen as too cosy with business interests, and there is fears of a transfer of wealth to these corporates.
I'll hold up Texas as example #1 why we should heavily invest in residential solar rather than relegate it to utility scale. Day to day it will alleviate grid load, but who wouldn't want solar + storage in situations like this?

America has been sapped of its ability to manage large things as its empire declines. The grid is a huge accomplishment of policy and governance, but I think decentralization is something that should be practically pursued now at a policy level for many reasons, even if it isn't the absolute cheapest source like grid scale solar and wind.

Certainly we need it if we go full-bore into hybrids and EVs for consumer transportation.

Telegram has an incredibly primitive setup for their private conversations (E2E encryption). It doesn't work at all on desktop clients, and there's no supported way to backup or transfer devices so changing or losing a phone means you lose the conversation history with no option to backup, even preemptively.

I am now some 7 weeks after a fairly mild case of Covid.

I got heart arrhythmia as a bonus, but lowish dose of Concor, a beta-blocker, took care of that. Fortunately, nothing serious on the heart itself.

I also suffer from some muscle twitching, especially at rest. It is getting better, but very slowly. Accidentally, the cardiologist who got me into a heart clinic for my arrhythmia (a friend) suffers from the same twitching problem after his bout of Covid, but in his case, it is a bigger problem, because he actually performs heart surgeries. I was happy to tell him that a certain over-the-counter medication reduced my twiching problem. It helped him as well.

Perhaps there is something that can help you with your shortness of breath. Do not give up the search for possible solutions.

"almost a non-issue" doesn't sound very convincing to me.

As someone who doesn't write GUIs often, I just don't want to have to worry about it at all. What's the cost of electron over webviews? 100mb hdd space? On the other side of the trade, never having to worry about cross platform concerns again? Not having to support or test on multiple platforms?

Seems like a no brainer to me. But it's entirely possible, even likely, that I'm putting too much faith in electron, or that there are better options I just don't know about.
Same with bitcoin. They wouldn't accept a currency that is very inflationary or very hard to exchange.
This sounds like it should be illegal. Why is the government allowed to make laws that specify individual entities. Surely they should be required to come up with some classification that covers every business like google and facebook.
There's React Native for Windows/macOS, though if you don't like Electron I doubt that's very appealing either.

Of course Texas is ground zero for climate denialism, even as they roast in 100 100 degree days in summer.

What amazes me is that Texas must need a lot of insulation to effectively air condition during those oppressive spells, and yet their residences seem to be very ineffectually insulated.
I agree with your nails on a chalkboard sentiment, but for me it comes from the genre of people who do armchair meta-analysis of the entire HN population.
I feel your language underestimates the scope of the problem. As the blog post itself implies:

> The Wayland protocol is by design more constrained compared to more traditional display systems like X11 and win32, which brings a unique sets of challenges in the integration of Wayland with Wine. Since Wayland's window model is not based on a single flat 2D co-ordinate space, as X11's was, the Wayland protocol doesn't allow apps to control their absolute position on the screen. Win32 applications heavily rely on this feature, so the Wayland driver uses a few tricks to accommodate many common cases, like transient windows (menus, tooltips etc).

It doesn't so much explain what it solved and how, but that it delivered a partial implementation of common cases based on what can be done at this point.
Do you have an expired self signed certificate on that server? See https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/10551759?hl=en
Wayland is pushed because nobody is maintaining X11, the people who used to maintain X11 are now working on wayland. In short your choice is push wayland everywhere, or fund a new group of people to maintain X11. For the later I have little confidence in one person alone making significant progress, but if you want to prove me wrong - well good luck.

I am betting on wayland long term, though I still have X11 a lot of places.
Signal's desktop client, unlike WhatsApp and Telegram, at least supports E2E encrypted conversations while a phone is disconnected or off. You only need access to a phone when it falls out of sync which is increasingly rare. That's a huge plus in my book, and after drastic improvements over the last few years the desktop client now seems rather stable in my experience.
They will not. The helicopter is a side project that gets abandoned after 30 days regardless of outcomes, the rover drives away (presumably out of range)
> Whatsapp is a functional tool. It was successful since it worked.

No! Whatsapp is a service!
Lots of people have been warning you that this is what happens when you get tools and services confused. I had warned people on here about this exact thing happening years ago when everyone thought it was the new hotness. People on this board were telling me I'm being overly cautious but this happens almost every time. Stop tying your identity and data to services if you're not 100% ok with them completely screwing you over!

Jabber has OMEMO and we have deltachat and autocrypt for email now. There is no reason to ever do this!
I prefer async big time. We once had to implement async routines while using flask, where the server would return a 200 but keep processing the request, and the actual result would be sent by email. It was hellish and inefficient to make it. In hindsight would have been better to use a queue service and a consumer and decouple the whole process, even if it meant increased infrastructure and maintenance complexity.
Bitcoin is one of the most successful open source technologies of all time and the best decentralized network ever created, surpassing BitTorrent. This is a stunning achievement of pure computer science and economic game theory that enables strangers to act only in their self interest to secure and grow the network.

No matter what you think of bitcoin, you must admit this has been successful beyond anyone’s wildest expectations only 12 short years ago. It’s rise and acceptance into the deepest reaches of traditional finance and conservative institutions like BNY Mellon is absurd in its speed and their willingness to accept fundamental change. We are in the midst of a paradigm shift to open financial protocols and huge innovation in capital markets. On to the next decade of crypto!

I don't think actuators are crazy overpriced really. It's true that if you are going to bother packaging them you are probably using decent-to-good quality everything, but that's what you want for non-toy projects anyway. And for toy projects if your budget is really tight no big deal to set up the encoder yourself on this one-off.
Neat. I know the original plan was to have an editor / scripter to create your own games ala Gary's Mod too. I still have Exult installed on my old Zaurus SL-5500, lol.

You might be on to something. I think what the US has done to yogurt should be banned under the Geneva convention.
Hey, author here - I think you're absolutely right that there is a risk that demand for blockspace doens't generate sufficient block reward to provide useful security guarantees. If that is the case, it could cause the price of BTC to fall which could create a negative feedback loop. This would, at best, create an end of the 21m cap and at worst trigger a collapse of the game entirely.

Using fresh water is far cheaper than any desalination scheme we have so far. I'm surprised they have issues getting enough fresh water without a river though, but I'm don't care to look into why.

I think under these circumstances, the economic majority of bitcoin users will fork to use, eg a new hash algorithm, rendering the seized mining farms useless. Remember, bitcoin is a collective trusted network based on agreement between users, miners and developers. If the miners turn, just switch to a set of new miners.

You mention that this wouldn't work in your article. Can you explain why?

In the general case I don't think that majority miner attacks can be defended against without changing the hash algorithm.

Specific cases like "empty blocks" could be addressed via a hard fork.

But there's nothing stopping miners from faking transactions in blocks, sending amounts to themselves, filling the block with OP_RETURNs, or just doing the minimum possible to get around your "fix".

PoW absolutely relies on >50% of miners being honest, always has done.
This is exactly why I say for best results, let your engineers and "customers" talk directly to each other.
Well this is nothing but bad news. EA's origin is where games go to die.
> most people don't bother to re-evaluate that default assumption that "the windows browser is bad"

That's one way to look at it.

Another way is to say that Microsoft has lost customer's trust and now has to work extra hard to earn it back.

IMO they've learned their lesson, at least for now, but it would also be great if others could learn from Microsoft's mistake too.
ASIC chip fabrication is centralised in China. The government could seize the means of production, as well as the centralised mining operations that they've attracted by subsidising electricity.
Why not just wrap/abstract the native platform APIs (like what wxWidgets does)?
Most computers on the Earth run Android (Linux kernel != Linux distro) or iOS.
It's a short article. Just read it.
For the first attack listed you'd need to be the 99% of mining power at which point the 1% could also just fork and leave you to your endeavours.
First we take Mars, then we take Desktop.
What are you going to eat then?

Most of California water goes to the sea. Of the remainder agriculture is the majority, but agriculture is also paying the most attention to water conservation overall. (though you personally might not water your lawn or golf, enough others do as to cancel out private residences)
If Facebook was a small company, this would constitute fraud.
yeah, but it'd only be 3/8 as heavy on Mars!

seriously, that's something I haven't thought much about. when designing rovers, do they calculate solely on the weight of what it will be on the destination, or limit it to weight limits of escaping earth's gravity well?

Nation state wouldn't need to become more powerful than all miners if most miners (more accurately, vast majority of hash power) were located in one, authoritarian country with a penchant of controlling "private" businesses.
I think the primary reason is that Ingenuity is not considered essential part of the main mission, so they could use non-qualified COTS parts like Snapdragon and Linux.
On the other hand, given the direction everything else in the world is going, maybe it would be better to build a desalination plant NOW and before the problem gets critical...

There's only so much fresh water you can take from a natural source before you have an impact on wildlife order(s) of magnitude greater than what we've already done.
