That is why personal blogs do not create content on the scale and depth required to be sufficiently high-profile and monetizable. If your blog can't be found on the first page of Google for questions people are asking, it may as well not exist to anyone but yourself.
Chapter 6 of "Elements of Information Theory" by Cover and Thomas is "Gambling and data compression". It explains that maximizing expected utility almost always leads to ruin. I didn't believe it when I first read it. Of course it is exactly correct. I reccomend it.
To me it sounds like you're proving the exact opposite. I'd assume most car owners never need to change a fan belt themselves, while everyone who uses git daily needed at some point to revert a commit. "How to turn right" isn't huge on stackoverflow last time I checked...
MaidSAFE is not a cryptocurrency. It’s a network closer to Tor and Freenet but architected way better.

This is like downvoting all mentions of IPFS because FileCoin is a currency that is used to pay others for storing files. Or like downvoting all mentions of Freenet.

I've actually noticed a bit of a reversal in JS requiring trends over the last year or two.

Of course there are still plenty of lazy product landing pages and wordpress blogs that don't work without JS and any time I see a hamburger menu I know I'll be navigating the site 'manually'. But many of the bigger news and information sites that used to deliver a blank page at least now deliver some bastardized version of their text content (though usually not their images).
You currently can't change your endpoint address on existing connections without breaking them, unless you have a protocol that's aware of the possibility and uses a broker or some other method to re-establish the link. This wouldn't really be any different. I don't think you'd want your network address to change on a mesh, it would just find a different path to reach it.

It might make sense to use something similar to MPLS that can encapsulate IP, to hide the details of the mesh network.
On the balance i find functional languages to be easier than oo languages, so I highly doubt that functional is the reason for complexity. In fact as an FP programmer, I find it's very possible to write zig in a functional style (imports feel like modules), in spite of the oo sugar that zig structs have been endowed with.

Here is an essay showing how women's higher education in the U.S. was boosted by restricted donations to universities:
https://www.jamesgmartin.center/2021/02/feminist-college-fun... .
There are about 4,000,000 miles of road in the US, and about 2,500,000 miles of pipeline.

Pipelines will be used for the next century as we transition over to clean energy. If pipelines are blocked, the fossil fuel gets transported on the road or by train and has a higher climate change impact, because friction forces that are seen inside of pipes are lower than the rolling friction of wheels. This is the transport energy barrier that has to be overcome by pumps.

I like to donate when I know a person involved. I find it hard to trust an organization or title. I donate cash to the local food bank, which is run by neighbors. I donate to my son's college student organization, run by folks he knows. I donate to a guy I see on the street frequently, who has been camping since he became homeless in 1985.
Worth noting that the maximum bitrate of the base LoRa encoding is not going to replace your cellphone anytime soon, even for a fantasy re-hash of the text-based Internet that this article suggests.

I believe the maximum speed of LoRaWAN on 900Mhz spectrum is a blazing 27 kbps (that's bits), so the cited 80Kb/s in the linked article for Sidewalk-to-IP communication is several orders of magnitude higher and must contain a lot of (unsurprising) overhead.

LoRa is good for applications where it used, like meter monitoring, control systems (oilfield etc.), and RC airplane control (R9/Crossfire/Ghost). It could certainly be used for the proposed motion detection and lighting use cases. With modern codecs, you could maybe complete 1-2 voice calls at a time over it, maybe. But my guess is that Amazon's play here is "smart home without the WiFi configuration," not "replace your cell phone."

It's not going to replace your cell phone data plan.
Successful schooling involves a parental component. We probably need a way to pay parents to help their kids with school.

The other thing I noticed with the pandemic and distance learning is that kids do really well in small groups (2-4 kids) and extremely well 1:1. This is a tutelage model. I felt that the classes that went best for my kids incorporated the small group style. In this model, the general education itself can be recorded and the small groups live which work really well.

I think this is the future but there's a lot of push back on that.
Consider when you try to build momentum. I for one won't be checking back until you make the news again.
True. It makes more money I've coded and run the simulations.

The rest is just you arguing against a strawman in your head.
Well a lot of websites do in fact, via either coil (or Scroll which is similar concept but does not use the WM API).

Italy's Masses of Unemployed Can't Live Off Startups Alone
Brain drain, infosec edition. Pandemic struck, and suddenly relocation is all the rage. I know a few infosec guys moving from Russia to various places outside of reach of local law enforcement (and "law enforcement") agencies . Next steps are usually easy to guess - infosec guys are doing what they were doing before, but for new management, and with new targets (ex-allies) in sight.
Just a wild guess, of course.
Hah. Greedy companies will be greedy. Example: hulu ads even on their most expensive plan.
> If restricted donations do less good than unrestricted ones, why do donors so often make them? Partly because doing good isn't donors' only motive. They often have other motives as well — to make a mark, or to generate good publicity

Bottom line is this: It's a net loss for non-profits if there is a stigma that is attached to people who donate for in part 'the wrong reasons'.
San Francisco is still a major financial hub by the way.
"In his letter, Jacobsen recommends that Boeing upgrade the MAX’s autothrottle logic to either disconnect or give the pilots a warning when the computer registers invalid data.

In the upgrade to the MAX that allowed it to return to service, the FAA did not require any such change but did add an explicit instruction that pilots in this kind of emergency should “disengage the autothrottle.”"

In the many articles about the MAX that have shown up on HN the underlying concern seems to be that this is still not a safe plane. This excerpt is scary.

Anyone with aviation experience want to weigh in?
Could be that, and it can also be that people are capable of being massive hypocrites. Nobody who opposes Bitcoin on environmental grounds has anything to say about the sheer waste and pollution that most of us take part in. If Bitcoin is so bad for using as much energy as Argentina, then we should stop using energy to stream entertainment, which we are doing now more than ever.
I find that Nim compiles run as fast or faster than Go compiles and Nim code compiled with optimization tends to runs much faster than Go code.
Here's the list of all supported extensions:

And the code for all of them is FOSS, so adapting for another browser should be relatively easy.
A researcher could figure out a method that would cost say $100K of cloud computing per key to carry.
In practice, paid websites have much less obtrusive ads.

There are less incentives to ruin the experience for those who are directly giving them money.

I'd be interested to hear more about this, care to elaborate?
Take a look at desktop Telegram when you have some time. It bundles its own fork of Qt (which inflates its shared memory usage as nobody else is using the library), has a very polished UI and all the same features as any other modern messenger, and runs circles around any Electron application I've ever seen. On my machine from 2014 it starts instantly and the memory usage never goes above 200-250 MBs, which is not ideal, but still is ~4 times less than the _startup_ memory usage of an Electron application.
> NFTs are nonsense and just as much a pyramid scheme

What scares me is that there are artists who I don't think understand how scammy this is. They've drunk the kool-aid and accepted the handwaving "you don't need to know how it works, just that it exists" explanations. Creators who wanted to make an honest dollar but ignorantly perpetuated the scam could find them themselves in hot water.
This article is just riddled with typos.
With Mozilla it's more that there is no way to donate money in a way where any of it will ever help the initiative (Firefox) you care about. Mozilla the foundation does not work on Firefox, Mozilla the corporation works on Firefox. Money flows from corp to foundation, not the other way around. So it's more of an issue of there being no non-profit that supports Firefox development. Or another way of saying it is that people don't like the current Mozilla mission statement and if it were different then they'd donate.
Oh sure, it absolutely works for individual subscription sites, but that's a completely different thing.

The proposal here is about applying that to the entire internet under a single subscription fee, or at least a sizable proportion of sites overall.
You're still allowed to use them free for personal use, as are the personal users who bought Amazon-branded hardware.

Nothing is being gobbled.
there should be an active button that disables all electronic assists with 1 press. I have no idea how such a dangerous system passed safety regs. Was it a mercedes by any chance?
"If a nonprofit doesn't understand better than its donors where money needs to be spent, then it's incompetent and you shouldn't be donating to it at all."

Years ago, I had a startup that was building software for non-profits. We spent a lot of time around them, talking to them, etc.

This problem of incompetence that PG briefly touches on is rampant to a degree that most would never realize. Most large NPs are more inefficient than you could possibly imagine with their money (if you don't believe me, go look at how much of their money goes to administration and how much the people at the top are paying themselves). The SMB NPs (the group my startup served) were typically run either by narcissists who's real goal was to look good to other people, or they were very non-business/money savvy and driven by passion (in a negative way). Both of these lead to poor decision making, one way or the other.

The narcissists tended to do everything they could to look good while doing almost nothing (think: hosting galas to raise "awareness" or finding ways to be involved with big important people, without actually furthering their mission). They looked great in the public eye most of the time and could flaunt their "goodness" while secretly treating their employees like trash behind closed doors.

Example: the director/founder of one NP I know of that had a mission of helping pregnant women in crisis forced her 8 months pregnant employee to walk for miles through DC and do manual labor for her. She chewed her out in front of the whole team for saying she wasn't physically capable and made her cry, demanding that she do something that was technically her (the director's) responsibility.

The non-business/money savvy person who is driven by passion at least has good intentions, but they let that passion run wild without tempering it. This leads to knee-jerk reactions and doing things just to do them, without taking the time to play the long game or even determine if the action they're taking is helping or hurting. It's the classic "give a man a fish vs. teach a man to fish" problem, where they don't slow down to look closer, and so find themselves perpetually addressing the crisis instead of the underlying issue, or creating sustainable solutions.

The NPs that manage to avoid these are so exceedingly rare in my experience that it has turned me into a cynic. I just assume that there's incompetence at play, and even outright abuse.

Anyway, I agree with PG, I just had to expand on that point because it almost felt like a footnote when IMO it is a huge part of the problem: finding good NPs to donate to unrestricted. Otherwise, you have to settle for incompetence and restrict that incompetence.
> Do you seriously think retailers had their employees confronting thieves?

Well, since I've known people who worked as loss prevention managers and who did it, and since the news article on the issue posted elsewhere in the thread specifically identified that retailers have changed policies in ways which reduce that, yes, I am reasonably think that they were doing so before and are doing so less now.

> And if crime isn't being prosecuted

To the extent that is a problem in some places (which no source I've seen indicates it is generally, though I've seen some indicating it may be in San Francisco specifically), then that too is not a requirement of the law (misdemeanors are not nonprosecutable) and the same criticism shifts within law enforcement to DAs, it's still not the law’s fault.
> While Zig has features to do computation at compile time, it lacks features to help make that computation correct.

Huh? Zig will reject comptime overflows/underflows, and you can write suites of inline tests too if you'd like, so whatever you miss at comptime you can constrain using runtime CI-validation at the location of interest.
The biggest danger to bitcoin is a black swan event where a nation state like North Korea decides to hack coinbase.
In Europe, this isn’t needed because of PSD2.
Not sure about your definition for long term.

TCP/IP looks pretty solid to me. NFT is basically TCP/IP with memory, why shouldn't that be useful for all sorts of things?

Bitcoin is more like gold, NFTs are more like network based consensus validation of ownership.
They noticed the problem in 2013, ramped up hiring since then, and are investing significant effort in helping HBCUs build their CS programs up to par. Isn't that exactly the right approach? (Of course, it's a very different story if Google's belief that "HBCU CS students struggle with the most basic of coding, algorithms and data structures" isn't true, but the source article didn't challenge this claim and I don't know a way to independently investigate it.)
There might be parties involved who should not be. RIAA types come to mind.
Personally, I am of the opinion that individuals should be able to use electricity however they choose, provided they pay a market rate for it. Interesting to see HN praising the CCP's policies in this regard.
> The other thing I noticed with the pandemic and distance learning is that kids do really well in small groups (2-4 kids) and extremely well 1:1.

Small group learning has been a standard part of education for a few decades.

It is way too early to make claim that the pandemic version of this has improved things. Anecdotes thus far have pointed to some kids doing well in pandemic small groups and 1:1 while others are doing terribly, but data about the effects has not even been collected yet, much less analyzed or conclusions drawn.
what is the use-case for an NFT for an in-game virtual good? A sword from World of Warcraft (WoW) can already be traded between players within WoW, since the environment in which it appears is already centralized and that's already provided by the environment. Trading a WoW sword outside of WoW has ambiguous logic. Let's say you sold your WoW sword to a Destiny player. Ok, does the sword still exist in WoW or not? What if the WoW servers just say that it does? Do all players verify that other players have the items the server says they have? If the player uses the sword and the server says "they did 9000 damage because that's how big the sword is", what difference does it make if your client say "NO! Nooo! They don't -HAVE- that sword"? You can't just wave your hand and say "but we'll just make the games peer to peer and that fixes it". P2P lockstep protocols were extremely widespread but fell out of favor due to performance and anticheat issues inherent in lockstep protocols. Most gamedevs would prefer the luxury of not having to run any servers. How do you make a purely P2P multiplayer game protocol that is cheat-resistant and allows more than a very small number of players to witness one another simultaneously? If everyone needs to establish a network connection to everyone near them inside the virtual world, how do you handle crowded spaces?

When the sword is sold -outside of WoW-, how does it have value in another context? Can a Destiny character equip a WoW sword? (No.) Ok but what if the Destiny devs made an in-game Destiny item that was pegged to that WoW sword, and then the games all checked your inventory at login? You'd have to check the ledger -every time the item is used- or the player can just login, trade it away, and then stay logged in and continue to use it (use after sell, essentially).

If players can -already- trade items within the simulation where they were created, but we're not defining what it actually means to move an asset -between simulations-, what is the actual use-case here? That you can trade non-functional skins outside of the game? That's it? Why is that good?
That read like a ghost/horror story. Technology suddenly thinking it knows better than a meat sack. Taking control over the archaic chemical construction's destiny. Deciding not just which direction to take the fragile bundle of energy, but if its blood should remain warm even if the creature wants to avoid the cold. All it takes is a sudden electrical hand over the flesh for the wheel.

Having spent many years volunteering for various nonprofit, and having been deeply involved in fundraising and budgeting, I cannot upvote this enough!

Restricted donations add overhead while making it harder to fund important things like bookkeeping, rent for an office, and staff salaries. If you believe in the nonprofit's mission, just let them figure out what to do with the money!
Since electron is basically a headless browser, you would be opening up any app with an XSS vulnerability to any other app running in the runtime.
The NFT is cryptographically signed by the author. You can't forge it, and it's publicly, verifiably linked to the author. It's even better than a physical autograph.
How does Nim deal with passing allocators to things? Does the standard library have a story for this?

It is money made by shitty business practices, and now that the great Gates has realised that there is indeed an upper limit to personal hedonism they’ve elected to do the voyeuristic hedonism - now with the intermediates of poor people everywhere; or as similar to how Morty put it, “just sounds like masturbation with extra steps.”
I guess this is really a question to @rmesters, who indicated in a reply that he is CEO of Nordigen.

Can you explain what has changed versus the standard product Nordigen had in the market around 2 years ago? I remember having sales calls with Nordigen in October 2019.
Any number of reasons, maybe to moderate massively growing number of lanuages and articles, to improve their software or working on new projects, or maybe to give existing staff a raise to match market rates.

But thats a moot point.
If there is no other organisation, more efficient than wikipedia, then you have no right to call them wastefull. It shows your idea of how efficient wimipedia should be is a fantasy with no grounding in reality and would, in the long term, lead to death of wikipedia.
In general you think of transplant as taking an organ from a donor (who doesn't need it anymore, in some sense) and giving it to a living patient. But it doesn't make sense to say that you are taking someone's brain to help keep someone else alive: the patient who is saved is the one with the living brain, not the body. There are various discussions and complications around identity, but I don't think anyone doubts that the person who wakes up would go home to the house of the brain, not the house of the body (to reduce this to a very simplistic notion of identity).
Your privacy policy seem quite vague. Do you sell transactional data? Anonymised or not? I've been looking for an alternative to Yodlee, but they all seem to be selling the scraped data in the background.
lol funny to hear google get this criticism when their bias is hardcore on the other direction, significantly lowering the bar far the “right” type of applicant and raising it for the “wrong” (asian / white males) types.

The whole thing has a large "bragging" part to it for now. Public auctions, showing how much you've paid (on the site I saw about NFT's) This is also true in the physical art-world, you display it on your wall, show it off to your friends etc, hang it in a gallery.
Why not use sonar like the other such project which if memory serves is backed by Bill Gates.
I ditched almost all my old computers as I upgraded, but i've still got my ZX-81 with a dk'tronics graphics rom, that was a killer combination in 1982 or whenever!

The ones that have left the building include C64, C128D, Amiga 1000, Amiga 500, before I got my first 'proper' computer, a Mac IIcx which I had for many years running Logic. I'd like to say those were the days, but actually i get much more done and have more fun with modern computers, it's really just nostalgia for simpler times...
TinyGo is a Go toolchain for microcontrollers that uses LLVM, and it produces binaries that are extremely small. A few kB is not uncommon from what I've heard, although I don't have much personal experience with it. For WASM, the smallest binary TinyGo can produce is on the order of 500 bytes, and I would expect bare metal MCU targets to be similarly sized for the smallest hello world binaries.

The standard Go toolchain cannot compile for microcontrollers, so the size of binaries that it produces is irrelevant.

Just like there are many compilers for C, there are multiple compilers for Go with different priorities.
