Space qualified processors are very expensive to develop and produce. They are optimized for use in space and manufactured on an entirely different process than commercial chips. All of this is to ensure reliability in the harsh environment of space. Due to these development and fabrication costs, it's worth it to keep using the same processor as long as it is capable of doing the needed computations. The current RAD750[0] has been used since 2005 and will likely continue to be used for some time.

Funny, because I purposefully bought dimmer switches for bathrooms in my house that added a bit of ramp up time when turning lights on! (Makes it less jarring to turn on the bathroom lights at 2am with just that fraction of a second)

This just isn’t true. Only a vanishingly small fraction of these people has ever touched smart contracts.
I like it but in every theory, there is always some edge case where the theory doesn't work. In a sense, every models in natural science are wrong but some are more right than other.
The OP posted a hugely contradictory post with respect to these original comments. The tweet and the defensive comments here now hold no water.

This forum is no longer seems a place for rational conversation backed up by facts. The GP used dismissive language to put me down and even called me out by my user name in an attempt to intimidate me into silence. I flagged it, but nothing happens; in HN it’s not the intent but purely the language. We are allowed to go on insulting and attacking each other as long as it’s subtle enough to be able to be explained away. This is corporate gaslighting coming down to us here.

It’s a trap full of idiotic rhetorical devices and capitalist wannabes. But then I remind myself that really HN is just a tool for billionaires to steal our ideas.

In my opinion this beats the purpose of serverless. Call me a shitty engineer, a hacky dev, I see purpose of serverless to be quick iterations, get your idea out as fast as you can, develop in production mode. The way people did in Google app engine days. I am not sure why people realise it lot of ways the whole serverless infra from a business value standpoint is very similar to Google app engine, which when an orgs growth out of tries to get out of. Building a serious CI/CD or dev stack is waste of precious resource that startups or mid market should not invest.
Better Decisions: A Tool to Execute Second-Order Analysis
As you rightly say, you can use any client for Element Home and the only restriction is that the in-app setup and migration wizard is only available in the Element web clients at the moment (this is now corrected in the blog article).

That said, the Matrix->Matrix migration tools (https://ems.element.io/tools/matrix-migration) can be used outside of the setup flow, to help migrate your existing chats to new accounts. So people can always use those separately from host setup, if needed.
It’s about the number of blocks though, not the amount of the mining block reward. I think you are conflating two different things.
Out of interest do you mean starting a new instance of VS Code for those things or using an existing one.

I would agree that VS Code isn't the fastest thing when the editor is starting up, though I find it fine when started. I pretty much always have VS Code running so I don't find this a problem.
The big difference is that Chalice (from what I remember) runs a local server where you test your functions and once you are ready, you'll deploy it to AWS.

This deploys it to AWS first, and when a function gets invoked remotely, streams that request to your local machine where it'll execute that function and send the results back to AWS. You basically get to test and develop against your real infrastructure.

Wow, author of Cosmos here. For the record I didn't post this. So thanks to OP and everyone who upvoted. It's cool that Cosmos still generates new interest after so many years.

Yes, Cosmos is very similar to Storybook. It's also older, and I'm only saying this because I'm tired of getting asked how does it differ. Both projects provide an isolated component environment to help tackle complexity in single page apps. The difference boils down to setup compatibility and personal taste.

I'm not gonna lie, some of the comments are tough to process, but what can you do. I still appreciate all feedback and as usual I'll try to incorporate it as best as I can.

Things your manager might not know
I would like to point out that the tweet and subsequent comments were inflammatory nonsense. Here is the proof https://dcurt.is/apple-card-can-disable-your-icloud-account

Maybe we shouldn’t just blindly believe and defend people just because lots of karma and Twitter followers and built a thing. I think these actions make this forum much much worse.
I don't think that understanding your dependencies is a reasonable criterion (the intellectual scope of your dependencies should be beyond your intellect for all but very simple projects). Furthermore I think that your approach essentially rejects the good engineering/design principles of modularity/separation of concerns (it is _good_ to black box things).
>Not "stolen" vs. "lost" but "possibly stolen" vs. "definitely lost". It is up to a user to establish if they think that "possibly stolen" is worse than "definitely lost"

Not when you are in a critical situation and you don't know if the attacker is exfiltrating data right now.

>Not "stolen" vs. "lost" but "possibly stolen" vs. "definitely lost". It is up to a user to establish if they think that "possibly stolen" is worse than "definitely lost"

No, it's "possibly stolen" vs. "lost if you don't have your password and can't log in", because: "No keys were revoked (nor does Element have the power to do so). What happened was that existing user login sessions were destroyed and users had to log in again." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26316147
> gold mining uses a lot of energy too (but I doubt Bitcoin will reduce the energy spent on gold mining, it will probably just add up).

I'm not sure it will add up. It seems to me that different stores of value compete directly with each other, because you can store value one way or the other way.
A lot of resources on our planet are wasted every day, but only very little of that waste is intentional (as opposed to negligent).

As a rational person, it must have occurred to you that if what you say is true, abortion and gay rights would have stopped being election issues many moons ago.

The reason they haven't is because it works, it gets people to the polls. That's politics. People don't vote for 'rational', 'objective' technocrats who are 'policy wonks'. They will vote for whoever they think will deliver on the pie-in-the-sky promises they agree with.

profiling is not a replacement for user feedback. You could profile some server side functions and see that X is 5 ms and Y is 8 ms. You will think all good, they're pretty fast. But the user might complain about a feature being slow, say deleting a thread, which happens to call the 5 ms function 50 times for some reason. You would then address the reason for so many calls, rather than optimizing the call itself.

Talking to your users is paramount, at the very least they will indicate where you have to add profiling
> Not sure how we could fix it without slowing way down and doing a lot more work.

Can create a market for library audits that the library's team would pay for and provide "vetted" tags for libraries that have audits on minor updates.

Things can continue as they are for smaller libraries, but any library that's used in more critical areas should have no issue finding audit sponsors.

This would also create in incentive for somebody to develop automated auditing tools.
> it seems obvious, written out that way

Yep. Most disassembly tools have configuration settings specifically for that (add newline after jumps, put labels on separate lines, etc.)
obviously the HN crowd is in favor of speed, but i would argue some of his examples are proof that speed doesn't matter compared to others. Notion is horrendously slow and i dont understand how other people can choose to use it, but speed clearly isnt even a necessary condition to become a successful product.
Yes, paying researchers to 'review' could be a solution but incentives are still misaligned - there's far too much upside in publishing vis-a-vis reviewing. It's a prisoner's dilemma type thing and it would require a kind of broad, institutional practice to make sure everyone was helping out with the reviewing part.

Economic incentives are never perfect either, but they might help.

Since we have a giant oversupply of PhDs looking for positions it'd seem maybe this wold be nice work for them, and frankly anyone applying for any kind of job should have a big list of articles they've reviewed as one of those resume checkmarks.

People invested significantly in YouTube because they were promised that it was a platform for everyone.

Now they are gentrifying the platform and driving everyone off who isn't a major celebrity, via gaslighting.

If you are a celebrity like Logan Paul, the rules simply do not apply to you. YouTube will fully monetize anything you put up, up to and including violating the terms of service or even committing actual crimes in real life.

YouTube is perfectly capable of treating people better, they just choose not to.

People can see it is wrong when Uber does stuff like this to contractors who are far less invested in the platform, but YouTube gets a free pass to abuse its contributors.

No. Web Push Notifications are basically a protocol. They define three main things 1. A JavaScript API for retrieving a notification endpoint and configuration 2. A JavaScript API for receiving notifications 3. An HTTP API for sending notifications.

Notably absent is a method for connecting that HTTP API to the JavaScript receiver. This is independent of the Web Push protocol and how it is implemented will affect the performance. For example Chrome on Android will use Google's regular push infrastructure (or at least a wrapper around it) and will have the same performance. You could implement this part via polling but the performance will be terrible.

So to make a replacement for Google's push system on Android you would need to rewrite 1 and 2 (possibly just translating the JavaScript browser API to Java) and you would need a push server implementation as well as a client to run on the phone. This client is where you take care. But as long as you run one client per device it should perform similarly to Google's solution. The main problem would be if every app ran their own client, but that isn't what is expected. The phone should provide the push server information to the app (which hands it over to the server) so that all apps on the device use the same server.

Sure, you are still implementing a lot, but the thing is that websites and services already have ways to store these push endpoints in the DB as well as encrypting the messages and sending them. It would be a lot less work to get them to do a little client-side work so that they app uses the same codepath as their webapp than making changes to their whole stack to support a new protocol.

> The easiest answer would be to tell WaPo to stop.

I see you've never used WaPo or NYTimes before :)

I do obviously deeply regret engaging with support on this issue, and my god I would have paid $100 nevermind worrying about $10 to not have to deal with this (still ongoing) issue.

But think about how bad all of the things are here:

1. A product named "Apple Card" that requires "Apple Pay" and feels like the same thing, but apparently is 2 different things.

2. Not only 2 different things, but 2 different companies. "Apple Card" is really "Goldman Sachs Card", but you don't find that out until something goes wrong.

3. But then Goldman Sachs somehow can interact and control your Apple Id account.

4. But there's no communication between support at the 2 companies, and all context is lost when you switch to Goldman Sachs.

5. If you at any point in time mistakenly say "Apple Card" and not "Apple Pay", or vice versa, even though I only ever use both together as a consumer, they will say "oh actually I think you're in the wrong department, let me transfer you", and then you have to start over.

On and on and on. Absolutely atrocious.

But the bottom line, the root cause, is this: payments providers should be on the side of the consumer, and not the merchants. I used to work at Visa. I know how the system works. I know anything is possible. The idea that Apple can't show people all recurring subscriptions and allow 1 click to cancel is bullshit. They absolutely can build that. It would be the right thing to do for consumers. But this is the Goldman Card. Not the Apple Card. And I don't see Goldman as a champion of the end user.
> The M1's and Airpods lineup are absolutely magical.

Read again, I said as much & agree so much that it’s actually a fundamental part of my characterization of Apple.

> I think Apple’s products are better than ever, on the whole

I had to type this quote because my iPad won’t let me copy and paste anymore on this page for some reason. (I didn’t make this up)

> I don’t think we should...

Well, I’m only speaking from my years of experience as both a product executive at Google and Apple and a successful entrepreneur, which is perhaps the exact skeleton key that fits this particular lock. Your idea would not fix my Apple product issues, because they really don’t rely nearly as much on IP protection as they do trade secrets, security through obscurity, and (legal disclaimer: in my subjective opinion only) anti-competitive practices.

But it would greatly hurt some other big companies (not really Apple, Google, Amazon, ...) and small tech companies alike.

You know, I used to think as you do on that topic, but not once I truly understood the ins and outs via relevant experience. Patent trolls suck, but IP law ain’t the biggest problem in tech by a country mile.
You need WireGuard to SSH to machines at Fly (that's a good thing). You don't have WireGuard installed on a particular machine. That's OK, because there's a portable, userland, Golang implementation of not only WireGuard but all of TCP/IP that can be imported into any Go program. Go programs can BYO network stacks. That's crazy. The end.

Bitcoin is old, secure, proven, and most importantly _simple_.

Of course what you sacrifice with Proof of Stake is sovereignty. A random person cannot participate in the network unless they have X amount of existing resources. So that's the trade-off as I understand it. Depends on where your values align. No doubt that existing financial institutions would prefer to be core partners with a performant PoS chain.
> Unfortunately, by default, writing XML isn't as straightforward.

Mhm... It can be very simple - you can construct it as a string with @"...@". Add StringBuilder for some speed if there are truly dynamic XMLs with lots of concats. Its way faster then doing regular C# mumbo jumbo and you can test validity easily with [xml].

I generated tones of XML like that and its also very fast. Don't go by the book, rules are there for mediocre :)
This discussion wasn’t dismissing anything.

They were just saying that it was highly unlikely to be true.

This is his original statement:

> If you miss an Apple Card payment, Apple disables all your Apple accounts

It turns out that as writing it is complete and utter bullshit.

Also, Apple Card provides a lot of notifications of due payments if you don’t have autopay.

Somehow he doesn’t mention those.

The fact that he made a bullshit statement thar would have been cause for great concern if true, to a much more complicated story of compounded errors that would affect very few people and doesn’t explain how he missed the warnings, undermines his credibility.

Seems like he screwed up and is just trying to save face.

The comment thread on the more accurate blog post he wrote later seems like a very reasonable discussion of the issue itself.

This comment thread is a reasonable discussion about how it seemed like he made a false statement, because that’s what he did.
I don't disagree. I believe both parties have deeply rooted issues with corruption.

On the levels that I am most knowledgeable about, the trend is roughly true. For example, Dems are the party of gun control while simultaneously militarizing police (a bipartisan effort). The moves to licensing and excessive taxation for what should be fundamental rights (e.g licenses to operate businesses, high taxes on your primary residence) is another trend that concerns me, but quickly goes out of the scope of what can be readily discussed on a forum.

My view is that both parties seek power on whatever levels they can get it. That's why I am for the abolition of political parties altogether, and a move towards a more direct democracy (public veto).
Syncthing can store histories, so you can retrieve your database from before the conflicts, if it happens. Personally, it hasn't happened to me. I keep my eye on syncthing's notification anyway, so it's not a problem to me.
Like usual? We're talking about the US. Yes, the FBI killed Black people. They're a fascist organization that should be disbanded. Far more Black people were killed by "regular" Americans though. It's not even close.

Proof-of-history using verifiable delay functions (VDF) is a valid consensus mechanism that scales of PoS and PoW networks [1]. Solana is build on top of it and it looks very promising as a fast consensus mechanism.

OP pretty much explains the intuition behind why history as a sequence of events in a blockchain works, but Bitcoin PoW is different from PoH as maintaining order is the main work done and not a side-effect.

Planck's principle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck%27s_principle

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. . . . An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: it rarely happens that Saul becomes Paul. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarized with the ideas from the beginning: another instance of the fact that the future lies with the youth.

— Max Planck, Scientific autobiography, 1950, p. 33, 97

Informally, this is often paraphrased as "Science progresses one funeral at a time".
