One way to offset that is to make sure that team performance is as much of an incentive as individual performance.

A stock compensation helps in that regard: hiring strong individuals will help ship a better product faster and should increase the stock value. Meanwhile traditional stack-ranking and a mostly salary compensation will encourage individuals to make sure they are seen as the top performer no matter what.

The current size for an Ethereum full node is 690 GB on Geth, or 394 GB on OpenEthereum.

https://etherscan.io/chartsync/chaindefault

You can buy a 1 TB SSD for about a hundred bucks. There are various reasons people use Infura, but inability to run a full node locally is not one of them. (The devs are working on removing some of the reasons for using Infura, by improving light clients.)

Now if you want an archive node, that will use a lot more space. But a full node already has the entire transaction history and entire current state. An archive node adds the ability to do fast queries of historical states, like "how much of this token did that address own in block number X last year."

If you have a full node, then you can generate an archive node from local data, but if you don't need fast historical queries there's no need for it.

This is just the symptom of a larger, deeper and more insiduous problem - design education, short-term corporate targets, discipline, anti-functionalism, celebration of aesthetics, marketing overreach, lack of rigorous criticism and unwilling to convince users.

We're not going to solve it. It requires complete scrub of how we think about building excellent products with deep understanding of humans (not users). Furthermore, needs overhaul on multiple fronts since great design doesn't sell apparently according to most rebuttals. Just look at Apple.com and see how loud it all is. Developers love Stripe design, but it is overrated - full of animations, bright colors, sexy transitions and for some reason they love diagonal lines. We need to revive some people like Paul Rand and Josef Muller-Brockmann, may be get Stankowski and a few others to do marketing. We don't celebrate great design anymore. If it wasn't for Elliot Noyes, no one would ever think of IBM in the same way.

We've gotten so worse, it is appalling and we should all be ashamed.
That made me LOL.

If I told you I once had a recruiter assume MVS and TSO were the same, you'd pretty much be able to guess my age from that.

> Screen tearing under X11 is more or less not a problem anymore.

For GLX/DRI clients where there's an actual concept of swapping buffers w/vsync, sure, but for classical X clients this is not true.

X got extensions for double buffering at one point, but practically nobody uses them.

There is no concept of a "completed frame ready for presentation" in core X, there's no way to really fix this without ceasing to be X (hello, Wayland). X compositors literally just drain event queues of X requests and throw shit on-screen when the event loop gets around to it. If that presents a partially updated window, so be it. GTK+/GNOME folks added "frame clocks" to try work around it, but not everything is a modern-ish GTK+ app, nor do all compositors implement it.

If there's anything Wayland fixes that really required such an upheaval to fix, it's flicker/tear-free compositing.
How do you feel about the infamous Microsoft Office ribbon? Compared to standard 2000-era UI design it made a lot more things visible (by taking things that were "hidden" in File/Edit/etc. dropdown menus and making them into persistent toolbar buttons), but that didn't keep it from being maligned at the time.

I'm not talking about MM at all because your post was about PM. And it's not an argument, it's an observation, and it's true about everyone - that correctness and sincerity are not the same.

Right, but those events also have a history. What's an issue of a few days to us, watching from outside, is someone else's years-long story.
You went to great length to discredit RT but seems like they listed all the details. US double taxation laws are a joke, covering only 1/3 of the world.

My bad for using bad figure of speech. Of course most of my savings won't even be physical (bank / cryptocurrency / investments etc.) -- I meant that I'll have all my possessions there (expensive computers, TVs, furniture, kitchen tech, what have you) and I would like to avoid having them stolen while I am grocery shopping in the nearest city, you know.

I like simple outline mode. In the Emacs development version it folds now with TAB on the heading, so that is maybe one of major options. I could insert "TODO" but is not necessary. Org integrates many things together. But it is not my main note taking application. I am using PostgreSQL for note taking and exporting assignments, tasks, etc. from the database into the Org mode. It is quite different workflow.

Org is not collaborative, database is collaborative, redundant, it offers way easier development then trying to handle database things by using text.

By the way, people speak "Org mode is plain text", that is was back in time, today Org mode is everything else but plain text.
Yes, and making a tool that's so counter intuitive that most users find it a confusing mess is a bad idea.

Ask HN: Knowledge/Skills Learning vs. Gaming Community
I had a wild idea...

I've been involved with a small handful of online communities, including gaming communities. Some of them were sustainable, others weren't. But each time there was a limit to what could be done based on the community member's drive, and willingness to "work" on a game instead of "play" it.

So that's where my wild idea came in. Many IT Professionals were introduced to the field early in through gaming, and similar hobbyist activities. Some folks are simply end-users, while others have a drive to contribute to a greater goal (whether community, learning a skill, technical experience, etc).

These thoughts coupled with my personal experiences of transitioning from hobbyist to professional, lead me to an interesting idea.

What if a Gaming community was formed with the intention of sharing skills, knowledge, and learning experiences amongst its members. Rather than focusing on the Gaming, and learning individual topics at a per-need basis, this sort of community might take the opposite approach. Instead, maybe spend a week or month learning about a specific tool, product, software, language, etc.. After which, have an open discussion about how the recently learned topic could be applied to the Gaming Community, or personal goals.

What is the consensus on this kind of community? Do you think it might gain traction, or crash and burn? Would this be something you might be interested in getting involved with? Should I delete this post and feed bad about sharing it with you? If you think this is a decent idea, do you have any suggestions of where to look for these sort of people outside of the general gaming audiences?

Feel free to answer as critically as you'd like.

Thanks for reading.. (Wrote this between a few tasks, so there may be some typo's or grammatical errors.)

I have thought about this quite a lot. NFT for software license would only work for applications that work with the blockchain. Something like a blockchain client where the user needs to authenticate to interact with the blockchain. Without authentication the application is useless. With authentication their account/wallet would have a license key and software use authorized.

For other types of software, without authenticating to the blockchain, there is no way to verify that the user is the owner of the license.

If you're on a Mac with a trackball, the scroll bars would show up all the time the same way they would if you were using a mouse. Unless the trackball says it has a scrollable function to the OS, you'd see the bar.
I agree. I have a UHD monitor and I get angry when I have to scroll to read the second sentence on a web page. That is not an uncommon thing anymore, and it sickens me.
Gold was chosen not because it's rare (it's not, compared to many other metals) but because it's pretty and inert. Scarcity is not a desirable property of money if you like economic activity. There's a reason why we dump it in the economy when there's a downturn.
Well, right now we have some perfectly valid mathematical constructs that nonetheless have nothing to do with reality. Gabriel's Horn is a good starter example, but you can wave it away with giving the paint "atoms" a finite size, but then there are more subtle constructs which lie in wait, like the Banach–Tarski paradox.

This will doubtlessly irritate some, but math for me is a tool and if it is not used somehow in reality, I start wondering what it is for, then. Occasionally utility will pop up later, and good, because you don't know what will end up being handy eventually, but some branches seem so esoteric I am at a loss. Again, probably my own ignorance, but I worry that those brighter and better educated than I might be led astray by castles in the sky, just from the beauty and the sensation of satisfaction you get from finding your way into the castle, if that makes sense.
If an apple falls from a tree, does the apple move away from the tree, or does the tree move away from the apple? In order to determine whether something has "dropped", you need to have a frame of reference to compare it to. You have arbitrarily chosen a frame of reference which fits your existing world-view, the dollar. If you are fixated in this view you will struggle to comprehend alternatives.

Consider instead, that a bitcoin (or satoshi) could be a frame of reference, and from it, you can determine whether a dollar is dropping. Here's a visualization of this: https://usdsat.com.

Since it is very clear from this visualization that over the course of years (rather than hours, which you have limited yourself to) that the dollar is in decline w.r.t bitcoin, then anybody wishing to "store value" over the course of years (not hours) would be making a poor choice if they selected dollars to do it.

This is part speculation, as you suggest, but this speculation is not random or guesswork - it is a result of other processes which go by names such as "quantitative easing." These processes (deliberately) devalue the dollar. Since not everybody wants to hold onto an asset which is being devalued, they look for alternatives, and they find one which, by design, cannot be deliberately devalued.

Further, the reason the value of dollars declines so rapidly w.r.t bitcoin is because people are betting against the currency which is being devalued, and for the one which can't be deliberately devalued. As more people make this bet, others become more confident that they can also make the same bet, which then leads to a situation where the more astute savers will front-run other savers because they expect that the dollar will continue to decline in value w.r.t bitcoin - and since the monetary policy of the federal reserve is to keep devaluing the dollar this is a very asymmetric bet.
It seems like you haven't read anything on the matter and are simply forming a superficial, clueless opinion.

Great way of putting it. When we were considering moving our community from Slack to Discord[1], we actually did a Request for Comment[2] laying-out our rationale, and asked for comments on the doc. I think this went a long way towards building trust and buy-in around big community decisions.

> It reminds me of my childhood experience with Turbo Pascal, where you had to wait until the compiler told you that you missed a semicolon... and then it pointed at the wrong place -- not the place where the semicolon should have been, but usually the beginning of the next line. After some time, it becomes obvious, but the first time it's definitely not.

C++ template expansion and linker errors come to mind. First time you encounter those it's typically either very short and cryptic or at least 500 errors and the compiler hitting an internal limit of how many of them to display.
Not just Apple. Windows 8 and beyond horrors aside, I have this friend of mine to whom I already installed three Linux machines in the past (1 x XFCE and 2 x Mate) who was 100% satisfied with them. Having brought a new faster laptop for reinstall, I wanted to give him something prettier which wouldn't slow down. Turned out he came back frustrated because of the asinine way KDE Plasma desktop menus behave, literally hiding things from view based on mouse position and not following a click, which is against every rule of good UI programming.

Please stop following bad designs just because they're new and/or come from big names; Windows XP UX still beats everything out there both in usability and intuitiveness. If users have to read a manual even to do the most basic things with a new user interface, I call it a failure.

I'd say it's a very practical problem. Why put N different things that used to run in separate protection domains into the same protection domain? Have we gotten N times better at writing code that doesn't crash? Do we believe that we can put N different things into the same address space but somehow ensure that a security hole in one of them won't compromise all of them? Have computers gotten so slow in the last 30 years that doing IPC is no longer an option?

I'm glad that you have personally not encountered a crash in Sway -- I really, truly am. But let's not pretend that a data point of 1 indicates a trend.
It's not that bad. Real hypocrisy would be lying about how great the job is to get better candidates, and then getting upset when the candidates lie about how qualified they are to get better jobs.
It’s true that prices fluctuate and vary, but some assets are less speculative than others. Gold has value for its industrial or commercial uses, even if that’s a small part of its value. USD has value over other assets as a currency because of its status as legal tender within the US, meaning I know I can pay taxes and discharge debts with it.

It’s not clear to me that the advantages you described are “obscene” compared to USD or other assets, and I’m not sure people buying Bitcoin are buying because they think it’s a “better monetary system”. I think they’re buying it because it’s a hot speculative asset at a time when rates are still fairly low.

I’m also not sure what “salable across time and space means”
If you look into the full numbers there were massively more deportations under the obama/biden administration than under the trump administration. So my assumption(which could be incorrect) is that this is just business as usual.

Now, I'm not sure about the total apprehension numbers as the above mentioned stat could be gamed by holding people instead of deporting them. When I was looking into this I couldn't find those (apprehension) numbers by year anywhere.

very true, but that's what a life cycle analysis is used for. Take all the emissions from manufacturing, use, and end of life. For this reason there are no zero emissions technologies (solar panels, electric car, cloth bags, even human waste produces significant GHG emissions).

We will support independent sustainability research on our solution's life cycle analysis to verify if we can be carbon negative, and if not what changes can we make to get there.

ServeTheHome has a long history of spilling the beans on the best value secrets on the planet, on knowing where to look for the best second-hand gear. A couple years ago the Dell & Supermicro FatTwin2's were all the rage... I may have been one of the folks doing that too. There was no place else like it, reviewing & looking not only at new products, but the most sensible purchases.

It's a treasure of a site, such a rare realistic home-operator wallet-conscious view of things. Although a lot of the coverage now is more "regular" these days, there are reviews of all sorts of low & mid range products, & things like add-on drive bays that the at home systems cobbler would be interested in. Sometimes things like this Project TinyMiniMicro 1L mini-pc series come along & write up all the really smart really sharp things folks have been doing for a while time, really show/reveal the secret undercurrent that pulls so many.

I sometimes worry that Patrick is spilling the beans, that he'll turn too many people on to the great deals & they'll stop being so great. The good thing about these business mini-pc's is that they are used in countless businesses, which is why they are so radically much better value than the imo way way over priced barebones mini-pc's that I used to oggle. It's also nice to see the range expand- new Ryzen offerings are exciting (if expensive), and higher wattages (more oomph) are both new.
The error cleanup role is handled in a number of other languages (Ada, VHDL, Perl) by letting the programmer name a block and having a statement that terminates that block or (for a loop) goes to the next iteration, even if this terminates multiple loops. The effect is similar to the C goto way of doing that, but it's more controlled and easy for compilers to deal with.
