Yup. Emergency lighting in hallways for multi-family housing, plus electric lights within houses.

Zero electricity invites excessive use of open flame, creating fire hazard. It is at least part of why going off-grid is difficult unless you are deep in the country in s state that isn't too hostile to it.
No I'm not, I'm using it for any kind of art. I don't know what led you to believe otherwise. (I clarified "real physical art" because those are generally, though not always, sold as unique originals rather than signed replicas.)

And yes, the whole point of authentication is about unscrupulous people swapping something out. Holding an NFT lends zero additional credence precisely because that's what the fraud is -- selling the real one to someone else without the NFT, while selling a fake one to someone with the NFT, and increasing your money.

NFT's provide zero protection against such art fraud. Heck, if anything they make it even easier to perpetrate if the person buying the forged work with the non-forged NFT is led to therefore naively overlook the forgery!

Is the diagonal white/black separator in the example supposed to indicate something? It appears to suggest something like "night" towards the right, and it lines up with the numbers, but the numbers on either side of it are different, ranging from 10am/11am to 9pm/10pm.

Edit: Oh! Is it just showing how the UI appears in dark mode? Then the diagonal is meaningless and distracting!

That's some Chinese Communist Party level censoring.
In my experience GC developers wildly underestimate their worst case, so I don't really believe that 0.5ms number. But more importantly, you should not use average pause time at all. At 144 Hz the 99th percentile frame time occurs more than once per second. If you want to avoid dropping frames you need to design for the worst case.
My question is more about if there are any that carry the cachet of Ycombinator.
My argument is a bit more subtle. I'm saying asking what "consciousness" is like asking "what does it mean to be American."

Does it make sense to attempt to find a mathematical definition of "American." No because being American is largely a made up concept. It's a complex category no doubt but it is not fundamental to the structure of the universe.

I'm saying "Consciousness" is the same thing. It's an ingrained concept we feel is fundamental, but if you think about it, it's really just a made up word.

No, one fact does not lead automatically to the other, since we are far from covering half the population. For a good chunk of people answering these polls the question is entirely academic for now, because nobody is offering the vaccine to them (which I assume skews the results, but even we assume it doesn't). If there were a severe lack of people willing to get vaccinated, people wouldn't have difficulties getting appointments. And that part of the population is also running out of patience, and has had it with excuses why we get less than promised. Don't underestimate that other large chunk of society. This is generally a thing: the people that stuck to all the rules + more and (perceive it as) getting nothing for it, while politics/media/... keeps pandering to those calling for less restrictions or even going total denial, are also very much not happy.

It's also clearly stated publicly that at least a million doses are currently being "stockpiled" to get the rollout through local doctors running (i.e. each doctor actually gets a whole 20 doses they can give to patients on the date this is supposed to be the case, nobody wanted the political drama of not giving some doctors the option or having even smaller numbers - and hopefully there is enough further supply to keep at least that rate going per week. The doctors bit is seen as even more important now more people are worried, since especially for the elderly it's assumed talking to their familiar doctor works better to calm those fears than formal invites to a center somewhere).

Similarly, while the reserving second doses has been debated a lot, it's the publicly announced policy (I don't have the exact stats on hand what percentage that is, it was in one of the many dashboards...) and the back-and-forth of who will deliver how much when doesn't exactly makes a change away from that attractive (because if you do change that, deliveries get cut again and suddenly you need to either not give someone a second dose on schedule or take someones appointment for the first away, you will get the blame however much sense it makes overall to accept that risk.).

Again, I'm fully admitting this has not been and is not going as smoothly as it could, but the "it's not needed" narrative is just BS. It makes a nice simple narrative, but that's about it, and ignorance is the most positive interpretation why people might peddle it.
Yep, that's what actually cross my mind first. In the end, I wanted to avoid depending on the model, but it's certainly interesting.

I've been tempted to do this. The thing that stops me is how good texting is on smartphones. The author writes about this, and pretty much confirms my fear that it would be a major step backwards and would put me out of sync with almost everyone in my life. I'm awkward enough as it is; I don't need to add new barriers to interacting with me. :) ETA: Honestly if Apple would open up iMessage, I could get rid of my iPhone, which is of course the reason they don't open up iMessage.

A couple other things I've thought about, more on the social media angle, are (1) starting a personal web site again, and (2) a different kind of social media site. For (1), I've already got a little VM that runs my email and some quickie web apps I threw together. Why not stand up a personal site too, like a lot of us used to have, where I can share all the stuff I'd normally be putting on Instagram, etc.? Obviously that's adding friction for folks too, but I'm less concerned about that stuff getting ignored.

For (2), and bear with me because this is going to sound a bit woo-woo, I think a social gratitude list could be really powerful. Maybe not a big hit, but definitely powerful for people who would use it. I say this because I used to be on an email list with some friends where everyone would write ten things they were grateful for that day and then send it to the list. Now, if this is not a practice you're comfortable with, you're probably dry-heaving right now; I did too at first. But once I got past the fact that it's not very cool, I found that it was a fantastic way to keep up with folks. (That's in addition to the mental health benefits, which I think are evidence-based but I'd have to double-check that to be sure.) Amazingly, I didn't even notice a tendency for it to degrade into performativity or attention-seeking. Overall I just think it would be a structure that would enable some of the positive aspects of social media while discouraging or eliminating the negatives.
How to Write a Webpack Loader
Singal repeatedly denies he is transphobic while also constantly writing articles that align with the anti-trans and gender critical communities, and also ignoring all criticism from actual trans people, even those he specifically sought information from. Weird coincidence if he's not transphobic!

It's a pattern he's done now for multiple years. Just an utter shithead of a bad journalist. https://juliaserano.blogspot.com/2017/12/my-jesse-singal-sto...
It really isn't on the same level as water and sewer (sanitation) and electricity (avoiding need for open flames).

It could be used for safety, but at the individual level, not at the community level.
Something like that. I could base it on frame-to-frame changes, or if my app was doing the screen recording, I could look at keyboard/mouse input as another signal of "non-silence".

I'm pretty much looking at silence removal as a good starting point. My overall goal is to cut down on the manual editing required, so just looking for repetitive processes that I could add automations for.

The best benefit I've seen is my increased focus and ability to do deep work. I actually feel like I'm getting way more work done, and have the ability to now focus for hours at a time. Before, work usually consisted of surface level attempts at "working" before I was notified on Discord or social media about something.

Notifications and the constant desire to check for replies have really hindered my productivity in ways unimaginable. Now, without distraction, I can get meaningful work done. Hugely beneficial and transformed my whole manner of working.

Note that GPUS are almost always multiplying 4x4 matrices. Sure they multiply many matrices together but each is 4x4. The 4^3 complexity isn't at all an issue (64 steps) and the constant time for some of the n^2.x methods is high.
I'm talking about the general state of HTTPS implantation. If you develop an offline device which offers a web UI, and it happens to use any feature that is deemed to require a Secure Context, you're out of luck.

WebRTC is such a feature, but there are lots more, and they can change from one version of the browser to the next one.

The players who are pushing so hard to shove HTTPS down our throats are simply closing their eyes and ignoring the use cases that are not interesting to them. The mandatory renewal timing is a good example: it used to be more than 1 year, now it is 90 days (and some would like to reduce it to mere weeks!) Absolutely great for the grand scheme of things and global security of the Internet, but dismaying for lots of other use cases.

We're not talking about preloaded HSTS. In such cases this change makes zero difference; Chrome already would have made the initial connection over HTTPS.

And it doesn't matter whether the legitimate server is refusing to serve plaintext HTTP if you're not talking to the legitimate server in the first place. The attacker can serve whatever they want.
Yeah... they might very well just view this as added extortion.
New York Times: journalists require approval for any new personal newsletters
Reddit has a real and serious potential liability if they didn't take action on this (now, there is a very good argument that hiring the individual in question in the role in question showed epically poor judgement, but, while a part of the chain of events that got the situation to this point, that's a different issue.)

You're right that it doesn't matter if it's a file or not per se.

What matters - and what the file interface gets you, but you can do the same thing in many other ways - is introducing the concept of a generic pluggable, chainable API.

> A single skipped frame is not a big deal and will probably not be noticed.

Attitudes like this are why my phone sucks to use and I get nauseous in VR and GC devs spent so long in denial saying 10 ms pause times should be good enough. Yes, single dropped frames matter. If you don't think so then I don't want to use your software.
I’ve always wanted to see on HN a public audit trail of all moderator modified, or removed posts and comments. That would give greater transparency and might prevent moderators enforcing their own beliefs and norms. Then again the counter argument, or point, is that HN won’t do that because it could open mods to greater pressure, unless it’s actually corporate policy to control the narrative.

Any other reasons why HN wouldn’t publish a public audit trail?

Weird architectures weren't supported to begin with: https://blog.yossarian.net/2021/02/28/Weird-architectures-we...

If you're still running a system with an arcane ISA, support it yourself. 99% of the people running modern Linux are interested in three CPU architectures (four or five once RISC-V gains traction), all of them supported by Rust. Supporting old or obscure ISAs is not a priority at this point compared to bringing kernel memory safety into the 21st century, which Rust helps a lot with.
Yes, it doesn't use Turbo, but Stimulus is part of Hotwire as well. And actually I do just send a complete HTML over the wire (even if just with AJAX).

Who is publicizing it? This is purely speculation by moderators who are not reddit employess.
In pandemic times, school buildings are (mostly) closed, but schools are open virtually. Not a perfect solution for the problem, but a necessity of the situation. Will get better hopefully soon.
Redox OS is "*NIX written in Rust." Singularity was a complete reimagining of OS architecture from the ground up. It isn't simply "the same ideas but now in Sing#/CLR!" it was an answer to "what if we designed a clean-sheet OS today?" There's a long paper on it here[0].

But keep in mind Singularity is still a toy OS. It has no use-case, and doesn't aim for real-world goals that would make it commercially successful. I just think that even as toy OS's go, it was one of the more interesting ones of recent times.

You might try contacting them, indicating that you are passionate about their project, and would they be interested in hiring you as a 1099 for six months (or 20 hrs/week or whatever) to implement {feature}. I'm beginning to realize that while everyone (workers, businesses) have a fairly one-track assumption of what employment/work would look like, a lot of times businesses are open to non-traditional ideas. A lot of places are fine with part-time if they know they can count on you to get stuff done. PMs seem to value predictability over throughput. Also I think the trend to remote work will help the process of being able work on just a piece of a project.

Anyway, you might as well give it a try, see what happens.
> HN is also penalising threads that discuss this.

Yes, HN tends to punish more-heat-than-light topics that overlap with perennial divise political/culture war issues.
Yes of course the platform can read them. Everyone knows that. It's obvious from context that when people talk about private messages they mean messages that other users on the platform cannot see.

It's one thing to prevent people from saying something on a part of your platform anyone can see it but if they want to talk about it one on one with someone else (someone who presumably has a block button at their disposal) then that shouldn't be censored.

It's the difference between a billboard and a letter. Of course a 3rd party can snoop on a letter. But a billboard is content that is intentionally put in public view.
Ah, you are the author of article :). Thanks for replying! Does ZGC compromise on throughput compare to G1 to achieve low pause times?
As I already said in my reply to CaptainZapp, 40Mbps is more than enough to stream 4K video, and it's rare to need to quickly download tens of gigabytes of data.

If you want to run several 4K streams at once, you'll need more than 40Mbps. I don't think many households have this requirement though.
The reason video games do not require uniqueness is that the interaction is smaller.

It's not a forum where everyone interacts with everyone, where people would copy each other's username to impersonate each other, knowing full well that most do not memorize the number after it.

That having been said, I personally greatly favor the textboard approach where there is no account registration. Lainchan does not require one to give up a username when making a post, and almost no one does so, and when one not, the system assigns it a fairly arbitrary name such as “Anamika” or “Sipho Nikosi”.

This is great and all. Unless you travel a lot. Or have a wide network of far flung friends and family to keep up with. Or have niche hobbies and interests. Or are looking for a new job. Or just generally like to keep up with modern trends and culture.

Give me a break. I spent most of my life in this county and my family's been there for two generations prior. The "everything is racist" argument so poorly applies to the issues of these communities it's absolutely absurd. Come back when you find a different hammer.
Public spaces are not places I like to be these days because:

- someone's always playing music too loud, either from their car or their phone;

- there seems to always be someone who is unwilling to control their children;

- people get into fights, sometimes these escalate into serious safety issues.

- someone is always trying to sell something or have unsolicited conversations about their religion;

- recently in some places mentally ill people are doing unsafe things, such as drugs, etc.

- people generally move around in fixed cliques and don't really interact beyond them - people are not socially conducive in this setting anyway.

I'll say the public itself has decayed, likely due to economic factors, but no one is willing to fix that.

So what's the point? If we're not going to fix the underlying social issues, I'd rather have multiple competing private spaces where someone can at least try to gateway out bad actors and there is some sort of incentive to enforce at least a minimum of behavior expectations for people within.
I don't know what you mean. It's literally one click to configure a persistent database and redis on heroku. It's true that "persistent storage" can get more complicated, depending on what you mean, partially because that phrase encompasses a variety of different things for different needs.

I don't see how you could possibly make this easier.

You could make it cheaper, and possibly "transportable to a differnet vendor" (even a non-AWS vendor), which is what some people are chasing. To do this while being as easy as heroku is the holy grail. (not easier but as easy because configuring a persistent db or redis is already at the literal maximum of easiness on heroku).

But you think you can make configuring a persistent database easier than heroku? I honestly have no idea what you are thinking of when you say this "takes a while to do" on heroku. Are we talking about the same heroku?
