Those sites, other than maybe Parler, aren’t anything to do with conservatism. 4chan...really? I don’t think there is a less conservative site on the whole internet. Half of it is anime/hentai and “anything goes” porn, including of the LGBTQ variety.
Perhaps. Due to high transaction fees and processing times, Bitcoin is unsuitable for use as an exchange medium. It's become an investment, a speculative asset. The value will exist for as long as people believe it is valuable. Brand and hype do help create this value in people's eyes.
Ahh, once again the single most divisive topic on Hacker News. Where contempt for the rich and contempt for the poor battle with the same points of view.

I've been working as a software engineer for 8 years, taking various roles at many companies during various stages.
I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty to achieve the goals and solve problems for the company.

For the last 2 years, I've been working remotely.

I'm interested in backend positions.
Thanks for that. Yes, they do both lossless and lossy compression. I think sometimes they may send the lossy image (especially if for a navigation or engineering camera) and request a lossless image if there's something particularly interesting.
How are your LPs?
Any modules on npm for web may work with minimal to no changes. You will need to convert them to esm. There are cdns which provide automatic conversion.

Deno provides built in bundler. It is low level but there are third party packages built on top of it.

All the three packages mentioned have equivalent in the deno ecosystem.

What do you mean by that? Rent control in SF only applies to buildings built before mid-1979. New buildings built today, whether low-end or high-end, will not be subject to rent control now, or in 15 years.

There was a 2020 ballot initiative to change that so buildings older than 15 years old could be subject to rent control on a rolling basis, but IIRC that failed. (And even if it had passed, that wouldn't explain the last 10+ years of predominately "luxury" building.)
It was almost that good. It had a five-mile-wide ellipse to search, and found a spot close to the middle. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/sci/371/6532/870/F1.l...

The issue is that 90% of the plastic in the ocean is dumped from 10 rivers in Asia and Africa where the waste disposal system consists of driving a truck up to a river and dumping the trash in. Of the remaining 10%, it comes from Latin American nations that do the same thing.

Meanwhile western people see these masses of trash and plastic in the ocean and conclude the rational response is to ban straws in the western nations that do have effective waste disposal systems that don't consist of transporting said waste to the ocean and dumping it.

So the question is whether the outrage about ocean pollution is harnessed towards effectively addressing the problem or whether it is dissipated in the heat of pointless kabuki rituals that we do to absolve ourselves of guilt, even as the trash in the oceans piles up every time someone in the third world throws something away.
Stupid question, but where is Perseverance's energy source?

Answer: Plutonium

It powers a Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator.

The plutonium decays at a few % per year, so that means it should be able to bring Elon a sandwich when he lands.

Cattle drink a lot of water, and the plants they consume require a lot of water. If we want to produce as much food as possible, as well as free up water for human consumption and irrigation, we should probably cut back on raising cattle for food.
It landed quite close to the centre of its landing ellipse, which was significantly smaller than the landing zones of previous missions.

Perhaps most impressive is the success of the terrain relative navigation. During descent a specific landing site was chosen, after going through atmospheric entry. That site had to be reachable based on where they ended up after entry, needed to be safe to land in, and should land as close as reasonable to scientifically interesting sites. The system chose a pixel from the initial images taken during descent, and the final landing was within 5m of that spot.
Not all radiation problems can be solved by rebooting/voting/watchdogging. Over time the hardware itself will die.

The helicopter hasn't flown yet - they put it down on the ground, and they're going to run it through a lot of remote checks before flying it. IIRC it's gonna be a month or two before first flight.

What’s the waste stream looking like? Like can we trace how this trash originates and why it’s not ending up where it should? If poor areas with weak government services are the problem, then that’s a problem, no?
Permanently. There was a 2020 ballot measure that aimed to change that so buildings could become subject to rent control on a rolling basis after they'd been around for 15 years or more, but it did not pass.
I strongly disagree with the opposition to process documents. I've worked at many companies that functioned without good process documentation (for all functions, not just code reviews) and it simply _does not scale_ with organization size or process complexity.

There's no reason it can't be both intuitive and human while also reflected in process documentation that serves as a shared reference and grounding point.

Oh come on, this is a discussion probably older than both of us put together. And we probably both know that the discussion devolves into where/what kind of tests are written. I'm on your side in the static type system debate, but you must realize that the responsible part of the other side delegates the responsibility to exhaustive testing.

Doesn't this require an exchange to provide external information? It is my understanding that it's impossible to correlate transactions using blockchain analysis alone.

Multiple clicks to get to the full resolution image. 50 thumbnails able to be viewed at a time, many uninteresting to lay people (solid gray screen, dozens of repeated images of of a portion of the rover itself, etc), for the monumental task of sifting through the 6407 images the rover has transmitted so far in mere days. Wholly unusable in a few months I imagine.

There's some surprisingly powerful rad-hardened ARM cpus out there. I'm surprised they didn't go in that direction.
Thanks! I will lean towards jquery more than vuejs as long as jquery is actively developed.
There are also some of us who were mining in the early days, didn't miss out on anything, and still despise the toxic, cultish MLM huckster scene and environmental disaster bitcoin and the entire "crypto" space has come to represent.

I've lost count of the number of times people who sound like angry teenagers have called me a "salty nocoiner" for being even slightly critical of the narrative they were pushing.
I am happy about this but I don't understand the fake meat thing. Our household reduced our meat consumption by 95 percent, we don't use any fake meat. It is highly processed and to us doesn't taste very good.

The NASA helicopter had to work at all on Mars. It's amazing that they succeeded. But it didn't have to survive in an environment with Martian SAM sites, or even rifle fire from the ground.

That is, the military requirements are much more intense than we often realize.
If I design a bridge without calculating load rating I’m knowingly, as an engineer, putting public safety at risk. Hand crafted SQL statements without sanitizing input in 2020 are same level of negligence from software engineers - you know you’re putting your system safety at risk.
I guess you could require municipalities greater than a certain (fairly small) size construct and maintain some public housing, with the required unit count related to population in some way.

If you applied that uniformly across the US, no one city or town would become hot spots for migration.

I don't think this is really a workable policy, however. Not even sure it'd be constitutional for the federal government to do this.

And public housing has a reputation for being lowest-common-denominator, poorly-built, and poorly-maintained. If you drive through the south of the Potrero Hill neighborhood in SF, you'll see a lot of public housing, and... frankly, it doesn't look particularly pleasant to live there. I'm sure there are much worse options, but the housing there doesn't look in great shape.
> a very admirable job explaining what's going on in their head

As someone who followed the author's path, this is spot on, and also what I recognized in the article. Everything else you said is spot on too, I just wanted to call this out as part of the article's would-be audience.
Impossible burgers are ridiculously close to meat and worth a try. Beyond Burgers are more noticeably different than meat.
There are a few versions of tools like this, or similar, available. Here's mine:

https://kc0bfv.github.io/WASM-PDF-Combiner/

I used existing wasm compiles of PDF tools. This use of wasm is pretty awesome to me - I often end up working on very restricted desktop clients with little customization possible, but they always let me run a browser.
do you use the full spa framework, or just use vuejs like jquery(use script to include it in each page)? whenever you have to do vuejs full SPA framework it comes with quite some concepts which takes (a lot) time to digest and stay up to date.
There is no smoke flavouring in Beyond Burgers.
Would it be accurate to say that the "Vibration" or nuclear-spin flipping doesn't emit energy or is neutral in the thermodynamic sense?

I take the same standpoint as you most of the time. But you can't fucking interpolate user input into SQL queries without physically cringing and call yourself an experienced engineer. Can you really pull up a code editor and write that out without your brain sounding off a thousand alarm bells that you're massively messing up something?

I can imagine myself doing this, having not slept in the last 20 hours, after 7 martinis and one especially long island. Maybe he did that too, but he should have the common sense as CTO of the company not to!
I barely know much about programming. I have finished LPTHW years ago but I'm not a coder by any stretch. Even I know to google how to sanitize user inputs before putting something into production.
LOL. Not sure why you're being downvoted - microbes with or without bikinis would definitely be stunning.

a glowing green sandwich covered in red sand. But seriously, this stuff is powering those voyager probes 40 years later. Which makes me ask: why do we have to send there technologies 10 billion miles away to make them work? Why can't my fridge be powered this way?
Isn't the (nominal) reason the people at the top get paid so much is because they're supposed to take responsibility? If not them, then who? They're supposed to set the incentives and culture so that the people below them in the org chart do the right thing. It's their job to know that their suppliers aren't using sweatshop labor to produce their goods. It's their job to make sure managers don't lean on the rank and file so much as to incentivize fraudulent behavior (but the managers would never outright say to do these things, oh no). "Don't ask, don't tell" isn't an excuse. And if the greater environment is such that "everybody does it", well maybe we need better regulations and/or policies, but that still does not absolve them individually.

The people at the top might not be at fault, but they sure as hell are responsible.

> "don't eat that fake meat bs bc it is harmful to you, eat" natural meat instead "?

Yes.
Yes, exactly. You don't have to eat organic. Just avoid meat from cows raised on corn and soy and copious amount of antibiotics. Which is probably 90% of the beef in the US.
Since on average everyone gets the market return someone must be underperforming the market in order for you to be overperforming.
Once it's been sent to Earth, they drop it. Curiosity's main computer had a flash drive of 2GB, and each of the big cameras had an 8GB flash drive on board. I doubt Perseverance is much changed from that; the main computer is IIRC a spare part from the Curiosity production.

Rad-hardened computer hardware is expensive and bulky. You don't add storage or processing power that you don't absolutely need.

I once used it for a proof of concept for computer worm type message on a sort of message board. Used to re-generate the source code to be added to new messages.
> Respectfully, its really hard for me to wrap my head around this mindset.

> When I wrote my first line of code, almost 10 years ago, one of the very first concepts I learned was types.

Well, that's great for you. When I wrote my first line of code, almost 20 years ago, the first thing I learned was string interpolation. Then a long, somewhat embarrassing course in what happens when you interpolate strings that weren't of the same "type". If you're introduced in any kind of self-taught way to programming, and you start with dynamically typed languages, you're doing stringly typed stuff.

What's powering Voyager is a plutonium pile. Pretty sure you don't want that in your fridge. 10 billion miles from me? Sure, knock yourself out. 10 feet from me? No way.
If I recall correctly, the Tianwen-1 amateur signal reception was (1) shortly after launch, and (2) using a 20 meter dish. Receiving the downlink from a deep space object requires much more sophisticated technology than most amateurs have access to, both to track the object, and to listen hard enough.

That being said, I doubt that the transmissions are encrypted. Hell, I bet some amateurs with a very powerful transmitter might be able to transmit a software update and take control of the rover.

How about not using lambdas which create accidental closures all over and use partial functions, instead?

list.append(functools.partial(some_code_that_closes_over, x))

If you replace a lambda with a function definition in the for loop, it's easier to see the scoping issue is actually a closure. And that makes sense because lambda is shorthand for a function.

First of all, it's Vienna, not Venice. And you don't need a counterfactual Vienna to compare it to cities of similar size and economic characteristics.

> the best they could do would be to get rid of the (actually quite small) cut that landlords take for themselves

Again, I think this claim is easily contradicted by the success of Vienna's housing market. The thing is, if you took the market as it is today, and the government just bought all the housing properties at market rates, then yes you would only see savings in terms of the profit margin which is currently enjoyed by landlords. But if the government takes the role of providing housing as a public good, it can change the incentive structure of the market in a way which benefits renters.

For instance, if your goal is to maximize rent profits, you will make decisions to maximize the year-over-year increase in rent, and you will build more units in a way which maximizes the rental price per unit. That's how you end up with so many shoebox-sized luxury condos in Toronto that nobody really wants and an under-served affordable housing market. If you treat housing as a public good, you make decisions to keep rent prices stable, and you build more housing to serve the need rather than the profit motive.

I was a competent programmer and a Linux user, but system stuff always seemed like black magic.

The overwhelming majority of NPM packages are still in CJS, and will not work under Deno today. Yes, you can do hack-arounds like jspm.io/skypack, but if the person is concerned with stability and/or security, adding a 3rd party middleman into the pipeline will not go down well.

Now that Node supports ESM, I hope this year will start seeing more migrations, but it will be at a glacial place because the ESM<->CJS compatibility remains extremely brittle (among all bundlers, and for Node+Browser usage). If you are writing a greenfield small library you can make it work. But it will be a long time - if ever - before we see things like @babel work.

Hi! I'll give it a try, though I didn't downvote you. My reading is that your comment is trying to argue with the one above it, even though you're both coming from the same direction.

GP says that "SV techs" are unrelatable because they always want more $, and mentions that they're satisfied with what they make. They don't try to say that they're not in a privileged position, just that they don't see the need to always be wanting more.

Your comment, then, is a bit of a non-sequitur - even though it's correct, you don't really have an argument to have with GP. Maybe it's just your phrasing that's throwing people off.
It's not Bash. I purposefully stick to POSIX shell constructs because memorizing all the various Bash (and ksh and Zsh) extensions and their oddball semantics is too much trouble. By sticking to POSIX shell it's easier to learn and remember actual shell programming semantics--parameter expansion, positional parameters, pathname globbing, etc. You have to understand those things, anyhow, if you actually care to understand the language; they happen whether you know it or not, and they're fundamental to the language.

Plus, the POSIX specification for the shell is significantly more concise and clear than the manuals for Bash, Zsh, etc. See Shell & Utilities -> Shell Command Language at https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/ I know exactly where to go if I can't remember the difference between ${foo:-X} vs ${foo+Y}.
How To Get Rich - by Felix Dennis
You completely ignored my question. (edit: didn't realize you were a different person actually, but my point still stands)

Have you now backed off completely on your point about tipping hats to people?

Because previously you started saying how we should respect everyone. Do you now agree that we should not do that, to muggers, for example, and that it is totally OK to go back on your word against someone trying to attack you?

*
An example of how someone might betray a mugger, would be if you promise them that you will go home and get them money, if they let you keep your phone, and then you "betray" them by going back on your word, and escaping instead. (Lets assume you can get away with this easily in this hypothetical, and that mugging isn't illegal, lol)
*

Whether or not someone's actions help the company/mugger engage in bad actions is a separate discussion.

It is a completely different argument to say "You should not betray your word to a company giving you an immoral contract" as compared to your new argument of "You should not work for companies that give non-competes, because non-competes are evil".

Previously, you were making it seem like the evil act here, is betraying the company. And now you are switching it up and saying that the evil act is working for the company at all.

So, once again, do you now agree with me that we should not respect everyone, such as muggers, and that it is not immoral to betray, for example, muggers?
So does jQuery by the way; you can use some flags to grunt to enable/disable parts you don't want. The README has some docs on this.
Data leaking isn't the only thing you may be worried about. What about a random number generator designed as a pure function that skews a certain way reducing your cryptographic integrity? What if what looks like a pure function from the outside you're using for some range estimate on some ballistic payload is able to detect its in a live fire scenario and changes its outputs leading to inaccurate detonation? We're talking about malicious external packages/libraries and what not coming in, assuming everything is a pure function in the compiled black box of obfuscated code probably isn't a winning strategy on keeping your system secure. Of course, everyone's threat profile and the risks of failure vary greatly based on the application being deployed.
