I follow all of this reasoning and really don't disagree. I would just add that, while I don't want All of my money to be based on crypto, I do like that I could feasibly have Some of it. It seems like a richer or more dynamic future.

The PoW stuff, yeah, there is a reason it exists as you know but it is undeniably insane too. PoS is going to be interesting to see how it goes with Eth.

As a third dimension, I am very optimistic that we're on the order of 1 decade away from a huge change in energy, where solar is dirt cheap. If we see an S curve style shift to that mode of energy production, I think the PoW conversation changes a lot.
IIRC it's around 120W printing something like PLA. Obviously higher when heating (pretty much maxes out the PSU), and higher steady state when printing other polymers.
Ask HN: How to Quit?
I need to get out of software development as a career. I’m not very good at it, never was and while the market is insane right now, I can’t imagine it always will be.

I don’t particularly hate programming, in fact quite the opposite. I have particularly developed a lot of interest in certain domains and occasionally I’ll get a week or two of motivation to attempt to work on my projects or take other actions to end up where I want, but it always fall flat someway or another. I have a huge mismatch of ambition vs ability right now and I hate it. I also hate work dread having to wake up in the morning. And no, it’s not a question of finding a better job, I’ve tried that. The work that’s available to me mostly has all the same problems. I’ve tried to go back and try to tackle the essential things that I’m not good at as well as the things I’m interested in, but it is too much and I’m just not good at many of said essential things. Things often make sense at an very broken down individual level, but then composed quickly just overwhelm me, an I’m not talking about anything particularly complex.

HN wants to pretend on one hand that anyone can be good at this, if they just try hard enough and play the game correctly. On the other hand, it wants to claim that this is incredibly difficult field where a mostly immutable attribute (high intelligence) is required. Don’t see how it can be both ways.

Most of the realistic alternatives I’ve heard don’t seem that great and even worse one way or another. I could move into a business adjacent roles that I detest even more that would at least keep that pay relatively decent or I could completely abandon everything remotely close to software and wind up in a job that I’m not terrible at, but that pays peanuts and I also dislike.

But maybe there’s another path I’m overlooking?
You think people would really move away? It's just one guy, you just gotta knock him off a bridge.

And if the simplest solutions to problems of governance become violence, rather than the system itself, then you have failed at the main purpose of government.
I have to add that 90s design was highly skeuomorphic as well. Chiseled buttons everywhere, icons and interactivity metaphors like trash cans or "My Briefcase" in Windows land, or even fully metaphorical things like Microsoft Bob.

Skeuomorphs, by their technical definition, are a core part of art and design that goes far deeper than just "photorealistic icons and extraneous textured backgrounds." The modern iOS calendar and phone dialer are natural skeuomorphs, since they're carrying forward a familiar mode of interaction. There isn't any real reason why a calendar has to be a grid of dates, but it certainly is a lot easier to think about it that way due to generations of familiarity.
If you can spare 60-90 minutes, I hosted [0] a conversation with the creator of Zig, as well as Odin, plus a former co-worker who's a compiler engineer.

They're all vibing in the same space that try to fill the niche we believe is missing.

Interning is to reduce memory usage. I will agree the uintptr trick is a work around for the lack of weak refs in golang but the code isn't that different then what you would write if you have a referenced counted cache.
Airliners can glide. Rockets can't. That's your big difference right there.

Wings are also way simpler than rockets.

You also have way more time to try to fix or workaround issues.

Reliability wise, airplanes will always be much better than rockets, especially if you include a propulsive landing.
How about the fact that we had decades of war because ambition, greed and anger ruled the day?
I just changed my linux desktop theme to Reactionary (Windows 9x like)

One big reasons was to get better scrollbars. They used to have buttons to scroll a single line/item, but the modern scrollbars do not have it anymore, very annoying. It got the buttons back in all programs, except for Firefox.
It also doesn't include the ipv6 zone scope. Adding that would take it to at least 28 bytes, and still have to handle all the interning problems for cheap equality.
DynDNS is down, I assume it's because of that?
Do you live somewhere not far from Greenwich meridian? Because otherwise "oh, it's 03am, high noon, time for lunch" or "13h00, bed time" feels awkward to me...
As others have noted... Utterly shocking and terrifying documentary. It shows criminal activity and I wonder why those involved aren't in jail.
Why is this a problem? Scrollbars are unnecessary and ugly
What's the problem with producing oil and gas with the CO2?

When the CO2 gets left behind in a reservoir, it's still a net positive for the environment. There are even oil companies aiming to produce 'carbon-neutral oil' [0].

I got an impactful parenting tip from the Digimon movie, of all places. There was a moment in the story where a child had to go meet his friends to help save the world. His mother could tell that something was up, that the boy was being evasive, and she was pressuring him to tell him where he was going.

The grandfather stepped in, and said something to the effect of "stop pressuring the boy; you're obviously going to force him to lie to you, and that doesn't help either of you."
It works for humans too. My company (global workforce) does something like this where every conversation about time is in UTC by default, and it works great.

Each person only has to remember how to convert between their local time and UTC. I can easily say, "I'm free tomorrow from 13:00-17:00," and my teammate can say, "OK. My day ends at 15:00, so let's meet at 13:30."

There are a few time zones that rarely overlap, but usually, if you pick two times, you can cover just about everybody.

The only frustrating thing is that Google Calendar won't let you set your calendar to UTC. You can set it to GMT and rename it, but the event will still move on the calendar based on when daylight saving time starts or ends for the person who set it, whether they want it to or not, and even if that means your recurring meeting shifts for an hour for the other person for a few weeks.

This almost makes it sound more ridiculous. It shows that we could easily switch to a different system and yet choose not to.
> Funny I don't remember them being so careful to provide all that "context" for what Trump said or did.

Literally the first result from googling "AP fact check trump cages": https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-democratic-national...

> WASHINGTON (AP) — Michelle Obama assailed President Donald Trump on Monday for ripping migrant children from their parents and throwing them into cages, picking up on a frequent and distorted point made widely by Democrats.

> THE FACTS: The reference to cages is misleading and a matter that Democrats have persistently distorted.

But hey, don't let _reality_ stand in the way of your apoplectic fury!

For fuck's sake people.
Dentists lack empathy: they cant understand how most people think and never explain how they think outside of their bubble.

I think another thing to keep in mind is that wikipedia pages don't tell the whole story. So you shouldn't feel bad about being way off.

Investors assigning value have access to other metrics not visible to us - customer numbers, growth numbers, revenue and what the revenue growth looks like, internal product roadmaps and other areas of growth, etc.
It seems like integration with small generators could happen later, though? Perhaps concrete producers or other consumers of CO2 would buy them, and use or sell the electricity.
But if you're travelling, wouldn't you just AirBnB?

> 'Top of the sky' is often the colloquial phrase for 'on the meridian line'. Which is valuable to know in itself.

I've never heard the phrase before, and it seems to be such a wildly unpopular term that running an incognito google search on the phrase gives me three pages that contain almost exclusively references to tall buildings (Sydney, Auckland, Dubai) and some songs with a similar name.

There's one reference in that set of 30 results that refers to the astronomical term 'zenith' -- which is what I'd have naively interpreted the phrase to mean (and informs my earlier questions to GP).

In any case, as per GP's plaintive concerns over children's potential confusion in 2121, we seem to be ignoring the facts that today schools start, and shops open, at 9am, and schools & offices are open Monday to Friday, etc etc because of what some people wanted a hundred years ago -- and I'd agree that not enough people ask the obvious questions about why we're still sticking to this craziness.
Couldn't we just strategically position some gargantuan mirrors in outer space so that the entire planet is always sunlit?
I almost exclusively read the articles and skip the comments.
My comment was about replacing raising children with cats for eco reasons.

Of course you should not raise children if you don't like doing that. I didn't decide myself yet. But if your "religion" is "eco-friendly" then I believe god prefers you to have children instead of cats.
> Judging from their public comments, SpaceX is hoping to get 3 launches per day from each Starship, and is hoping to produce hundreds of starships per year. Which means that after a few years, they intend to get to more orbital launches per day than we have had orbital launches in all of human history.

This sort of talk has always seemed to be really infeasible to the point of being nonsensical. What could possibly drive the need for 6000 orbital launches per day? Where are the fuel resources going to come from?

This sort of pie-in-the-sky thinking I don't find motivating at all, I just find it to be so excessive that I have no choice but to immediately dismiss it.

The double-standard with eco-consciousness gets me too. Green cars, green home power, green everything... but 6000 orbital launches per day. What?

I'm not trying to be a SpaceX hater - although I admit to being very sick of the Musk fanboyism - I just genuinely don't understand where these claims are coming from.
Lingua tacos and burritos are killer! That's all I order most of the time now. Some places are afraid to serve it to me because I'm white and they think I'll hate it. I always have to insist upon it! Makes it extra special IMO. haha
I think this is fixable with technology. We just need a mode your phone can enter while you're asleep such that calls are gated by a system that allows trusted users to ring the phone after a reminder that this is a bad time, and simply silences all other notifications or rings.
Not to mention that with the Big Sur update, you can just go to your Photos app and see where the sun is in real time.

Having had a hand in plenty of investigations, it is premature to assume these photos or details are of the actual attacker.

It could be from a rival hacker, an innocent doxxed third party, or just completely fabricated to send investigators down a rabbit hole.

Sharing potentially personal details at this point is irresponsible and just leads to witch hunts.
I hope you don't assume that sun rises everywhere every day.

How to hire capable developers is an open question for even the most sophisticated technology companies. Anything that allows you to avoid that problem is extremely valuable.
I've don't recall ever having worked with people in Spain but certainly with people living in France and Germany. It really is just a number though at the end of the day. Living in Sweden I'd never take a meeting before 9AM unless forced to, especially during winter.

If you're in a position where you're scheduling meetings you hopefully have some idea of where the participants are located and try to select a time that works for the most amount of people have woken up or not yet fallen asleep.

This will probably become more of an issue with more people working remotely though.
My flow out of development was:

Dev > moved to QA > moved to Tech Writing/Doc > moved to consulting > moved to business consulting. Ended up in managed services as business/support liason and went from there. Was a great mix of getting to use all my technical knowledge but in a non-development environment.
Where TFA says "Friday [...] 17:00 to 24:00" and
"Saturday 00:00 to 01:00", a much better representation, which I have actually seen in the wild in real life, would be "Friday 17:00 to 25:00".

I believe the one I saw (perhaps on some European restaurant's entrance or website; I'm from the USA) actually went a bit further, like 26:30 as a closing time. Beyond that it approaches silly, though.
That yellow tin is just ... evil. You are a bad person and you should feel bad :D
100% of the information an employer needs to determine my productivity can be found by looking at my work output. They don't need to know what I'm doing or looking at at every given moment. The results speak for themselves.

I'm sure they have a legal right to check (in the US), but I really wouldn't want to work for such a company and would immediately start looking for a new job if it happened to me.
It's incredibly cheap in the context of 6 or 7 figure marketing budgets. It gets budgeted as a new compliance cost to continue doing business as normal even after Apple, Mozilla, and Google block advertising pixels from their browsers.
Same here, would be interested too.

> Cats can be fed vegan pet food.

This is a myth, cat is an hyper-carnivore. They don't even have sugar receptors in the tongue.

The solution is really simple, if you want a vegan pet, just have a bunny.
Would you please explain?

Also, I can't tell if your comment is sincere or sarcastic.
I’m using the same exact setup, works fine for me. My OctoPrint is running on an old Mac mini.
Any pitfalls that you encountered?

I'm trying to decide between this, or writing my own helpers around https://github.com/felixfbecker/node-sql-template-strings.

Also, have you found anything the solves typechecking of embedded expressions inside the SQL template?

For example, Webstorm will help you autocomplete your SQL, but you can still type:

sql`SELECT * FROM foo WHERE barInt = ${bazStr}`

Would be nice to catch that with TypeScript magic rather than at runtime.
There is no way to salvage the hyperloop.

Do you know what is the actual limiting factor in train speed? It's not energy, or friction - we can make really fast trains. No, the limiting factor is radius of curvature needed to maintain confort while turning.

Otherwise, we can already make maglev trains that go 600+km/h, for cheaper than the hyperloop, and without the awful design flaws. But you'd need to destroy a lot of property to do so, so pretty much no one is interested outside of China.
You can just install the docker experimental version and use buildx. It works fine on my M1
IDP? https://simplesamlphp.org/ Would fit that bill.
As a rough high level overview:

Rust is what you might imagine if starting over from scratch with C++, with a big emphasis on memory and type safety.

Zig is more like starting over from scratch with C, with a moderate emphasis on safety (no garbage collection or borrow checker, but undefined behavior handled more sanely than C)
anyone who works with people in other countries will appreciate this, recurring meetings are always an issue with various countries going in an out of daylight savings.

after fixing this, I'd like to see the entire country move to a single timezone. that would be a vast improvement as well.
And some places should actually just be in different timezones.

In Boston the latest sunrise is at 7:15am on Jan 2nd. However, the earliest sunset is at 4:11pm on December 6th.

If it were 8:15am to 5:11pm at the worst on either end, I know I at least would be less irritable.

One can argue that's just social conditioning. If you grew up with 3 am being lunch time, then it won't feel awkward. And you'll just accept that everyone in the world has a different lunchtime.
I was also lost for a while working on my physics Ph.D. The course work ended with the state of physics in 1930 (this was the late 80's). I was also trying to do Lattice Gauge theory which involves many different areas: statistical mechanics, high energy, ... I really struggled trying to get up to speed on these.

My wife was finishing her finance doctorate so I had a deadline. I had already worked on some statistical mechanics projects and had the idea of downsizing and just expand on them. After this decision, I was done in a year (and before my wife was finished).

As the essay shows, it is very easy to get lost working on a physics Ph.D. After getting my degree, I ending up teaching CS for ten years before getting into software development. While it was stressful at times, I don't regret my physics education. I learned a lot (sometimes by being thrown into the deep end).

Without time zones part of the answer is obvious indeed but the other, previously very easy (what phase of the sun is it: will you be tired or just waking up during our meeting) completely absent.

Timezone are super convenient and if you dislike it you can take the time at a previous colonizer of your choice, say england, and just use BST time with each other.

Note that, in persons who haven't had a heart attack, daily aspirin does reduce heart attack risk in exchange for risk of major bleeding. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6439678/ Its effect on mortality, then? A wash. https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M15-2113

>Clinical trials of aspirin in patients without cardiovascular disease have inconsistently demonstrated improvements in cardiovascular outcomes, with potential benefits countered by increased risks of clinically significant bleeding. The uncertain role of aspirin in primary prevention of cardiovascular events is reflected in contrasting recommendations offered by guideline bodies. The overall effect of this uncertainty has been a decline in aspirin prescribing for primary prevention over the past 5 to 10 years.
No there are several timezones in Europe, if some countries are in the same timezone it's because Europe is not that big, geographically. Spain was not invaded by Germany and their nightlife probably starts at midnight because they have a nap in the afternoon.
