Long-term, I think it's legit. A few big-name artists and other popular figures (athletes, actors, etc.) will take advantage, and use it as another income source. It's pretty convenient to immediately get a large payday by selling a unique asset (think of an autographed copy), while also being able to mass distribute and sell it at scale. For example, most people don't know that rookie cards for NBA players can go for well over a million dollars. Same idea here, except it is hosted online and cryptographically proven.

In the short-term, definite mania. Relatively unknown artists are getting ridiculous amounts of money, several magnitudes more than they get on the open market with a private commission, because the supply of artists that are currently active in this market is dwarfed by the number of rich crypto speculators that are throwing money around, trying to make a profit.
While we're being nostalgic, VDE, a WordStar clone, was another miracle of tiny code. I still run it now and then in a DOSEMU emulator on Linux.

Technically, Citus product is open core, not open source. Though open sourcing shard rebalancer is a recent welcome step.
Regardless of the premise, anything that so needlessly worsens the climate emergency by wantonly wasting energy isn’t future proof.
The content on Wikipedia is really not that bad. Obviously a Wikipedia article will never be the final say on any specific subject, but it tends to do a pretty good of aggregating sources and condensing it into a reader-friendly synopsis. This data is super valuable, if not just for the sources alone.
I have no doubt that IDEA is probably more "professional" but I find VS Code is more my preference because of the open source nature of it. I know it has it's warts but it's in a whole different league than IDEA products. However to each his own, I have made a living with open source and that has colored my perceptions of products.
Ask HN: How do you build your push notification system?
Hello fellow HNers,

I am having a look into and researching how companies and startups build push notifications into their platforms.

Is there a general accepted way of doing and architecting this sort of system?

What systems or components do you currently use to build push notifications into your service, is this done from scratch or a 3rd party.

How do some companies do this reliably at scale?

Have there been any mistakes you made along the way?

I am curious since I've been searching around and I don't see any company talking about this on their engineering blogs lately.

No, they aren't.

You are confusing fiscal deficits with monetary expansion. Worse yet, seem to be complaining that GP is failing to confuse monetary expansion with fiscal deficits, when suggesting use of the former to deal with the adverse effects of a particular source of constraints on the ability to leverage the latter.

Oh no. Pls don't. Because it probably would be highly successful. Or well, much used. (Not necessarily leading to couples, though)
I’m in a couple of chats with writers. There are constant discussions about tools: Google Docs, Word, Apple Pages, Scrivener, and even vim with markdown and git.

We all have different tools and different ways of writing. We’ve shared photos of our workspaces.

A lot of this doesn’t happen in public anymore because we’ve moved to chat programs like Telegram and Discord.

This question is flawed. It's like asking if attending cocktail parties has practically benefitted oneself. Or walks around the neighborhood. Or playing video games. The experience of life and information is more complex than a probabilistic return of 'practical' value.
Optimists aren’t optimistic about everything haha, there’s very few optimists about global warming or oil consumption. Optimism isn’t blind support of technology no matter what evidence appears. It’s taking early signs and pushing good ideas forward.

Speculative mania doesn’t mean participants are idiots it just means they’re playing musical chairs, and once the music stops whoever’s left without a chair is left with nothing. And yeah some people get swept up through confirmation bias, seeing number go up and convincing themselves there’s something where nothing exists. Those will be the ones most likely left without a chair.

As for “knowing better” I have my theories which I back with evidence.

I’m not into keeping score here just saying net karma of 0 is not the objective per se, I’m pointing out your post was clearly not in the letter or spirit of the site rules, this isn’t Reddit.

It’s been 13 years now and even the most hardcore blockchain enthusiasts have been unable to point to a single measurable concrete thing achieved better with blockchain that a classical solution. Not one and no path in sight. Only number go up and money laundering? 13 years of time from some of the smartest most ambitious and optimistic folks in all of the tech world. And nothing.

Because you just stated in the previous sentence that they are soon to be considered classic?

While we're on the topic, Xenophon's "Anabasis" is probably both the greatest military memoir of all-time and the greatest adventure story of all-time.

Heck, maybe also a candidate for greatest learning-on-the-job and leadership story too.

It's really an incredible work. The "Why am I lying here?" monologue still gives me chills.

I’ve been a cryptocurrency user and fan since early days, but I just never understood the purpose of NFTs. I couldn’t get my head around Rare Pepes or Cryptokitties, but after seeing your comment, I can finally cement why I was sceptical all along - an autograph is a good analogy!
Agreed... I would argue it's their responsibility.
I'm confused. Is this like an art options market in crypto but no physical delivery though? Why even involve art? If it's digital delivery, it's not limited edition because it can go straight to bittorrent. Limited to me means limited both in terms of acquisition and resale.
It probably isn't, but neither is the DOS game collection on archive.org. Speaking of, I'm not sure what the advantage of this over the archive.org DOSbox system is.

I think these services exist because most game studios won't care about websites like these until they get too popular.
Measuring Everything: Obtaining insights about your code in the Cloud Native era
Mania for now but long term it will bring scarcity to the digital realm something that's important to fully develop the digital economy. Right now digital has been very profitable for a relatively few since it takes lots of money to develop a product but scarcity will let many more people make a living.

A simple example are artists. Artists have been mostly locked out of making a good living with their digital works but NFTs will fix that.

We will also start to see new forms of products that aren't profitable now since there is no way to cover the costs to develop them but with NFTs there is now a way to cover the costs.

I see the book market changing. Established authors will be able to sell their books and not have to go through publishing houses. They can sell them to the public and now the public will be able to resell the book and gain some of the money back and the original author can get some money too.

The future is very bright, as they say. There's finally a way to monetize cyberspace for the everyman.
Are there any Reddit clones aside from HN? Tree style threaded forum software are awfully rare.
Yes, the data is copied from the memory of one process to another. In the future we want to use the WebAssembly multi-memory proposal to allow processes to share data without copying and reduce overhead in certain cases.

I've used both extensively, and for me it boils down to whether I am using Typescript or not, as the code hints for Typescript are much better in VS Code. I've also noticed VS Code suffers less performance degradation with some projects.

In general, for Java and Python, Intellij is much more polished and functional.
I highly doubt Jack is doing this, but it seems like another good vehicle for money laundering. Here's an essentially worthless tweet I set at an unreasonable value as an NFT or whatever.

Maybe he's doing a proof-of-concept for something else Twitter is developing (almost infinitely more likely than Jack doing money laundering), but this stuff just seems weird for rich tech people to do. This is like certificates of authenticity for random infomercial products, just on the blockchain.
Very scary
From memory—it's been a long time—WordMaster was MicroPro's first product so presumably Rubinstein applied the EULA to it first (thus it was likely the first with an EULA). If not, then I'd guess he'd have applied the EULA with later issues/releases as WordMaster was also concurrently available along with WordStar.

Anyone with an original CP/M WordMaster 8" floppy (or its contents) to check?
> This is a lie you tell yourself to be able to... (unrelated bad thing, you should be ashamed, blah, blah, blah...).

Not, this is a dichotomy covering all the possible outcomes, thus can't be a lie, by definition.

Some people are good parents, other are terrible at parenthood. Where is the lie in my statement? There are millions of examples.

If your son failed the school for four years, failed in ALL classes, didn't learn anything in your face, and you are clueless about that, don't blame other people. You have a responsibility in this train crash. You must calm down, do damage control and exercise more the communication part in your parenthood. You can be busy and tired, but this is no excuse for not showing the slighest interest for your boy's life, future plans, interests, or education. Not at this level.

Being a good parent is more than being just a food providing machine.

Read the news. You see headlines like "US sends two carriers to Persian Gulf". Not "Government of the US", but "US". That is, in external affairs - military and diplomatic and espionage - it is a normal, customary usage to refer to the government of the country by the name of the country. It's used that way, whether you agree or not.

Now, the point you're making - that there is a difference between the government and the people, and we need to remember it - is a valid point, and an important one. But you're splitting the wrong hair to make that point.

They're a frequent target of rhetoric and legislation by the republicans. Granted, nothing comes of it because the fundamental issue they have is that reality has a liberal bias.

What are you a talking about. A test does not impact the choice anyone has to change society how they want it to be. You are imagining things I have never even hinted at.

Almost everyone get's swimming lessons and tests. And yet, and this might really blow your mind, you can still actually go swimming without actually having had passed the test. No SWAT team will barge down your door and take you away if you go swimming.
Meanwhile, 100TB SSDs already exist and can be purchased today. They're incredibly expensive at $40,000, but if you really need one... See https://nimbusdata.com/products/exadrive/pricing/ for details.
But do you really need this functionality, if you already have an SQL database?

That is, you can:

1. Create a table with an extra changeset id column and a branch id column, so that you can keep historical values.

2. Have a view on that table with the latest version of each record on the master branch.

3. Express branching-related actions as actions on the main table with different record versions and branch names

4. For the chocolate sprinkles, have tables with changeset info and branch info

and that gives you a poor man's git already - doesn't it?

In that case there was scarcity in the game. A limited number of people could display these on their profiles/ complete a collection. Compared to a Tweet that anyone can view and that the buyer has no control over it doesn’t seem to be quite the same thing. A Tweet equivalent might be if the purchased Tweet was now only viewable on the buyers timeline.
Every law your government passes is another nail in the coffin of personal freedom, so they must be carefully considered. Every liberal democracy will eventually die but we don't have to hasten it by making every new law "for the public good". I'm not saying what Oakland is doing is good or bad, but every new law should be carefully considered and I think that a lot of people forget that everytime the government makes you do something that means you lost another bit (or chunk) of freedom. See the Patriot Act for instance, we may never recover from that it severely damages and continues to damage individual rights and privacy as the primary cudgel the US government uses to justify unconstitutional surveillance of Americans.
I mostly write JavaScript/TypeScript (with a little Go in my freetime) and I switched from Webstorm to VSCode in December. Things I miss from Webstorm/Intellij:

- Test runner

- visual diff tool (gitlens isn't quite good enough)

I've been thinking about what I'd miss from VSCode if I switched back and I cant' really come up with anything other than I really love https://shadesofpurple.pro/.

So why did I switch? Basically everybody is using VSCode on screencasts, at work, etc. for TypeScript and JavaScript and I wanted to see what the fuss was about. It's not better, and I don't really understand why it's popularity.
Sorry to hurt somebody's feelings, no downvotes from me on HN.

It's a funny kind of losing. It looks more like "not totally dominant" to me, which may be confused with losing by people who've not experienced that.

What has the US really lost? No territory, no people; there's no stream of refugees to the "winning" Chinese side.
It's a mis-feature. And since C++ is very committed to backwards compatibility, they didn't change it later on.

If/when `std2::` happens, this is one of the things I assume would change.
What you said is definitely a new social norm because of the modern political environment. In the old days, it is perfectly fine for advisors to develop personal friendship with their favorite students.
Without posing an opinion on the matter, I find it somewhat humorous to see the author complaining about having to timestamp a video for citations because the subject refused to put their work into an industry standard format.

There's a certain ivory tower je ne sais quoi to it. Got me thinking about that superpermutations solution posted on 4chan leading to a paper with "Anonymous 4chan User" as the lead author.
Hm, well that should definitely just work, not sure what's going on. Haven't seen this or heard about this before. If you'd like to share some more details, that'd be a great help! @CritNotesApp on Twitter, or contact@critical-notes.com.
Nothing quite so dramatic. The US political system is rife with bribery/bribery-adjacent (ex: lobbying) activity and they are saying both sides have been influenced by this. For examples, see the 1996 Clinton campaign finance investigations and donations to Jeb Bush’s Super PAC. There is likely a lot more out there that we don’t know about hidden through donations funneled through non-profits.
Yeah, and there's always some apologist acting like it's the average consumer's responsibility to have relatively obscure technical knowledge, e.g. that diamond-like carbon coatings are harder than sapphire and will readily scratch it.

It would be funny if it wasn't so depressing.
Cool. Was there any surprising result in top highest ranks?
> The most glaring deficiency in Weinstein’s presentation is that it does not incorporate any quantum theory. Establishing a consistent quantum theory of gravity alone has defied the efforts of nearly a century’s worth of vigorous research and is part of what makes formulating a Theory of Everything an enormous challenge. For GU to overlook this obstacle means that it has no possible claim on being a Theory of Everything.

From what I gather, Weinstein regards quantum theory as an intellectual distraction, and not a useful theory in a practical sense. So if you disagree with that, then that's his whole theory out the window.
> It strongly appears those in charge of legislation are not technically minded and have no idea "how" the internet works.

Of course they know. Everybody knows, it's just a series of tubes.

Replace here Google with FAANG, and see how whole countries are completely depended on those companies. At this point those companies can blackmail any government on earth into almost anything they want. FAANG are actually even richer than most countries on this planet.
Your ROI needs to measure returns other than money.

But kids can end up making money, too, and take care of you when you're older.
The US never believed this, the politicians told this story so they could get richer off trade deals and cheap labor.
