North Korea banned dogs

Super interesting, thanks for sharing! I'd be curious to learn more about how you workaround the lack of extra info in error types in practice? Are you just returning e.g. a struct with additional info?
I present this post as reason #5,782 why policies to combat climate change are horribly unpopular politically.
I understand why some people want more light in the morning. I understand why some people want more light in the evening. I don't understand why anyone would care when solar noon is.
They have only raised $1.3m, which they most likely spent a long time ago. They have been profitable (self-sustaining) for years. Sure their stock is not liquid, but there is a strong case that they could move towards liquidation (IPO) at a $5 billion or higher valuation.
This I don’t get. Why does a pet need ‘premium’ meat cuts? They live <20 years. It’s not like fat, sinew and gristle is going to cut their lives short. And if they get the innards and less tasty bits, I mean, isn’t that what wild dogs eat?

Like the dogs give two licks about the cut of meat. I’m sure they’d like some marrow.

What they probably don’t enjoy is the filler stuff.

Dogs aren’t connoisseurs of meats. They will eat any meat. Sure they avoid skunk and maybe other meats foul to their tongues, but cow, horse, sheep, etc? They like them all.
I trust Brad and the team’s take on things. If they decide they needed a new library for this then so be it.
While we're being extreme, banning humans would be a more straightforward solution.
I’ll mention QED by Richard Feynman. It has a sort of similar style but my memory of it is a bit hazy.
Free market is good and subsidies are bad, says the person advocating for distortion of market conditions to favor certain technologies that the free market doesn't want (that much).

If only the government made the stupid investors understand which technologies are cheaper...

---

If renewables are as cheap as advertised they'll sweep the market on their own. But it seems to me that claims of cheap storage are just as far fetched as those of cheap nuclear, despite tons of subsidies and support that renewables get.

Wind and solar are never going to power literally everything everywhere all the time. The sun and wind are not evenly distributed, and no amount of storage or transmission will economically fix that, ever. You'll have several different power sources for different needs, and I find it hard to prefer fracking and coal burning to modern nuclear.
Why are business hours so unchangeable? People seem to just take this as a given, like the God Of Business carved 9-5 on a stone tablet.
> Last summer, Zapier reached $100 million in annualized recurring revenue; it’s passed $140 million by now

$1.3M in $140M RR is like a paper change. So, they can't find that amount somewhere in their revenue stream?
By that logic, we should ban humans who have a far more significant impact on the death of the planet.
Thanks! We definitely could've started with events sooner, IMO. The simple practice of getting folks together to meet and talk shop contributed to the sense of momentum overall and the interpersonal connections in particular.

I should note that all the events we've done to date have been small, and focused on our existing community. I think such focus made sense for us in year one, since we were building the community and the product at the same time. In other words, we didn't have the capacity to produce a broadly-focused event.

That said, the intimate vibe in the early days goes a long way toward engendering a sense of ownership and belonging among community members. I honestly think it's more meaningful to do smaller insider events more frequently in the early days, versus casting a brand net and potentially diluting the group’s nascent identity and culture norms.

Now that we're scaling up, I anticipate increasing the reach of our events as well. But that’s okay, as we have the team to support it on one hand, and on the other, the culture of the community is already well-defined.
What about all the people who work outside and need sunlight?
Hilarious, I seem to have randomly pattern matched the wrong comment to reply to after logging in
I am using vouch-proxy as it is a very simple addon that lets me use my existing OpenID Connect compatible IDP for authentication on anything fronted by Nginx. This works really well for services not really designed to have their own auth.

The only downside is that it seems to require a second DNS entry for the vouch portion of the process. Awkward configuration in some ways. But, the price is right, and the Nginx config is reasonably clean once you understand what it's doing.
No, but daylight saving time.
This makes perfect sense. What doesn't make sense at all is when coworkers use the sunk cost fallacy as reasoning for the following situation: your team has been working on a rewrite of the codebase for months. It's looking pretty close to being done, when the boss says, "why are we still building this?" The PM who was pushing it has been fired, and the guy who started the thing has left the company. The team still would benefit from having this rewrite done, but because the last few deadlines have been missed (due to the firings/leaving), it is declared a "sunk cost" and to be abandoned.

This makes no logical sense, because a project you needed, that you still need, is 90% done. There is no sunk cost fallacy here. "Sunk cost" is overused and overrated.
I haven't, but I'll take a look. My completely green suspicion knowing nothing about it at this point is that it's probably just a step up in an arms race, to which more advanced statistical techniques could be developed and applied to eventually, which means past transactions using old methods are vulnerable to being traced. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though, so I'll take a look.

Edit: As suspected, it's not a silver bullet.[1]

Yeah, I'm not exactly concerned that I'm going to lose my valuable supply of pig snouts to the dogfood industry.

But I suppose the point to consider here is that some pets are carnivores, and you won't be able to turn them vegetarian without seriously affecting their health. So if we as the human species decide to stop domesticating pigs for food, our pets might run into trouble.
If people learned to love organ meats again, the proportion would probably be very different. So many people, especially in the west, will only eat muscle tissue, and even then they prefer it to be very lean. Too bad for them... more tongue, liver, and tripe for me!

Every once in awhile you run into a developer who wants to, because it would make developing apps that deal with time easier. It's a laughably parochial perspective, but it happens.
Well, a basic element of Bitcoin is that its energy usage per 10 minutes can be calculated roughly as:

dollars-per-btc * btc-reward-per-block / kwh-per-dollar

The network is paying out $X every 10 minutes to miners. If miners, in aggregate, are spending more than $X some will stop because it's not profitable. If miners, in aggregate, are spending less than $X, more miners join in because there's still some easy profit to be had. Obviously, there is some friction preventing this from being a perfect match (entry cost of buying new mining hardware) but this is an approximate price target for how much money "makes sense" for the miners to spend in total.

Here on HN people seem to mostly understand that this means:

1. Higher bitcoin valuation leads directly to more spending on mining

2. Cheaper energy just leads to more energy consumed by mining for the same amount of spending

3. The amount spent on mining has no market-driven correlation to the amount "needed" for security

That seems like a pretty bad system from a technology point of view.
I'm all about defense in depth, but for speculative security stuff like that I like to see a well thought out threat model where you actually protected against anything. Otherwise you have unbounded amounts of work (both developer human/cognitive and compute time) dedicated to security that isn't actually helping your users in a meaningful way.

The issue with not trusting that the kernel can protect IPC like it's supposed to is that so many ways to get root are ultimately protected by that same IPC protection scheme. If you don't trust the kernel, in the general case you've already lost with any scheme like TLS that ultimately relies on the kernel provided primitives to do stuff like hide the secrets in the first place.

You're also opening a new can of worms around boot strapping local certificate distribution to make TLS meaningful that bring you right back to the original problems.
I love this game.

I wouldn’t put down ‘travel’ as a hobby if I weren’t prepared to take the interviewer on a quick day trip to Paris.

The morality-based "don't create technology to fight climate change since it would allow us to continue current behaviors" position is definitely one of the more infuriating ones.

The damage is the big problem here, not the behavioral causes.

You have to think about the trade off between not having remote accessible cameras versus having them. If you can make systems more secure by eliminating them, you can become very secure and simultaneously not very useful.

Not having remote accessible cameras would seemingly make using the cameras take longer or be less efficient. In turn, that might make detecting or tracking physical intrusions less efficient and/or less successful. Should Cloudflare take that trade off? I think it depends on their threat model.
Carnivores like cats can't survive on plants alone. There are sad stories of folks who thought they could feed their cat a vegan/vegetarian diet and ran into significant, debilitating issues with lack of taurine. I'm not saying it's impossible to feed pets a solely plant-based diet, but you need to do a lot of research to make sure their nutrient requirements are being met. I would definitely do this under the guidance and consultation of your vet. See: https://www.aspca.org/news/why-cant-my-cat-be-vegan
> They live <20 years

Crazy thing about nutrition, eating better means living longer :)
I agree. Even when feeding our dogs a raw diet, we fed them meat not bound for human consumption or the occasional leftover trimmings from our own meals. The things that were human consumable were not meats and are generally not eaten by the average American although they are more common in other diets.
Martian Colors: What Does a Colorblind Synesthete See? (2007)
The whole "women die of heart disease more" is a bit of a misdirection. The premise of this article, "Researchers don't know why women are slightly more likely (22% vs. 18%) to die of a heart attack." is just silly.

Of course they know: Men get more heart attacks than women (by a huge margin) but they get them and die from them
younger. So when older women have their first heart attack at age 72, they have other age factors in the mix.

Men's median first heart attack age is 65. Women's is 72.
By age 70, over 30% of men will have already died. For women, only 18% have died. The women that do make it past that age and then have a heart attack, are more likely to die from it than the (on average) younger guys who present with a heart attack that same day.

40 percent of all American men aged 20 years and older have heart trouble. For women under the age of 64, only 13 percent have heart trouble.
As of 2019, that's 55 million U.S. men with heart trouble vs. 17 million women.

From age 65 and up, women's incidence of heart trouble does go up, to 25%. But still nowhere near men's rate of heart trouble.

Here's the truth: Heart disease is the number one cause of death listed on the final forms for both men and women. But for women it's almost universally when they're already old, whereas for men, the spectre of dying young of "the big one" is all too real.

Put another way:
CDC data (https://nccd.cdc.gov/DHDSPAtlas/Reports.aspx) shows that from 2016 to 2018 for people under the age of 75, more than twice as many men died of heart trouble than women did. (352,610 men died, vs. 174,352 women)

I'm all for effective treatment and preventing all possible deaths. If we see a gap that needs filled, we should. But concentrating our treatment efforts on 75 year old females at the expense of efforts directed at much younger men would be a sad mistake.
it really goes well with all the "bitcoin consumes as much energy as x" articles that we see on hn.
> They live <20 years. It’s not like fat, sinew and gristle is going to cut their lives short.

I don't think I follow, why couldn't their lives be cut short by potentially bad food?
It might be feasible if you use sqlite's in-memory feature, because hitting the disk on each query is way too slow for a real-time application.

Why not just use an r-tree library for the language you're using? It'll be faster and easier to work with. Since scene data is usually hierarchial, sql doesn't seem like a great choice for storing it

Yep that's exactly my setup. I don't even leave the house I have the printer in a closet and can peek at it from time to time while watching tv. I added an LED strip I can turn on/off from octoprint as a light for the camera.

Reasoning is pretty shaky tbh. If the idea is to give everyone a time that is suited for them, the most likely thing would be for everyone to revert back to using the mean solar time for their precise location, not to all converge on one time zone.
Hah, no... It was closer to a person week of time total. It had its origins in 2019 but we didn't work on this solid for a year and a half.
> vast majority of transactions on the stock market do not involve dollars going to anyone who will use them to invest in capacity.

If you could _only_ invest directly into capacity, the amount of dollars that people would be willing to put in would be much smaller than today's. That's because the risk profile is singular in direct capacity investment.

The reason the stock market can fund IPOs is because it allows the different stratas of risk to be separated, and taken on by different parties that want those risks. So without your dollar buying an existing stock, thus letting early investors for an IPO an exit, they would unlikely to want to invest in the IPO in the first place!

This would be such a boon for skiing in the Northeast. At some ski areas, the sun doesn’t strike the ground until 10am (because mountains cast shadows). It would be brighter during the best skiing of the day. Also, by 4p the Apres Ski scene is well underway, so the setting sun would probably help that along further.

This is super insightful--thanks. You've listed a lot of things about the managerial track that are still achievable on an IC track. You've also listed something things that some may consider "downsides" and acknowledged that they are things that must be accepted on the manager's track (though they're not all downsides, I personally really enjoy [productive] meetings).

I'm curious what you perceive as the reasons _to_ go into management? What do you enjoy about it?
> The same could be achieved by having different work hours in different seasons, no need to change the underlying metric of time to achieve this.

Sure, but that’s just like saying that any two people could arrange things to do something at the same time and place by communicating a precise astronomical phenomenon at that place, like the azimuth of the Sun, then both people can work out when that will be relative to their personal schedules.

Of course, the point of widely-used regional standards for timekeeping is simply to avoid the need to communicate and calculate precise phenomena to represent a local time.
Yeah, I agree with all of that - it doesn't seem like there's any huge number of people putting their life savings into it. I'm just vaguely annoyed by gambling in general and don't like when I have to hear about it all the time.
Same! I really liked the mining turtles.

This argument is based on the idea that stock markets should price rationally based on value, but evidently that's not really how the markets work. Share prices have -- and need -- very little connection to any "true" value of the business whose stocks are being traded. For the basic investment strategy of trying to buy low and sell high, investors win if the stock subsequently goes up and lose if it subsequently goes down. The reason for the change, if there is any logical reason at all, is largely irrelevant.

Assuming any sort of pricing rationality risks the well-known problem that the markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. It should never have been possible in a rational market for the recent WSB pump-and-dumps to work, yet many billions changed hands as a result. Not that I have much sympathy for the losers on that one, because it should also never have been possible in a rational market for the short-selling strategy that left them vulnerable to work either. Both groups got away with something dodgy for a while and then some of them lost a lot of money when the house of cards fell.

Whether this disconnection of prices from real value is a healthy way for stock markets to operate as a key element in our financial systems is a separate question, and it's one that a different and probably much smaller group of people care about.

As a footnote, it's probably worth mentioning that some businesses, including tech stocks, don't necessarily follow the traditional models for either growth or dividend payments. So although those P/E ratios might be considered very high by traditional standards, those traditional rules of thumb aren't necessarily useful in these cases, even if we only look realistically at the potential for future profits. A high-growth tech startup might have low earnings in the early days and rely on some big investments for funding instead if it's building a huge user base without yet having a firm strategy for monetization, for example. That doesn't mean it won't have genuine potential to earn a huge amount of money from that huge user base later on if it does find the right monetization strategy.

In Wayland, a fail-stop bug in the window management logic will now bring down your compositor and every program that was connected to it. In X11, a fail-stop bug in the window management logic only crashes your window manager -- everything else keeps running. This is a really nice property to have -- in general, why make the "blast radius" of a fail-stop bug bigger when we don't need to?

Like, what's the upside of making it so a bug in the window management logic can crash the entire GUI? You claim latency due to no need for serialization/deserialization across process boundaries, and you claim potentially less-complex code. I'm very skeptical about the complexity reduction -- you're replacing the IPC with global state guarded by critical sections which your threads all need to respect. Getting rid of IPC isn't "free" -- you're replacing it with something that could be even worse. So, I'll need to see some actual case studies here.

I agree that there is measurable latency (context switches and all), but if it's a difference of only a few extra microseconds -- i.e. something the user won't notice because computers are insanely fast these days compared to when X11 and window managers were first written -- then I'm disinclined to give up my crash resilience. Do you have data to show that there is noticeable, irreducible performance lag in having a separate window manager process from a compositor?
