Get your facts straight, they have had custom domains for a looong time & there was absolutely no need for Jekyll either at any point to host a page, it just happened to be one the most documented/blogged about way to use GitHub pages with automatic builds instead of having static content.
Good to know that about Cloudflare. Believe it or not, there is at least one DoS protection provider/Web Application Firewall service/whatever you want to call it, that seems to default to asking you to solve captchas to view web pages.

I have also been diagnosed. Autistic individuals aren’t paraplegics in this analogy. They are dramatically shorter than average. Working under a disadvantage is not the same as being unable to do something.

It’s not like the population of people who take performance reviews seriously rather than as bullshit hoops that have to be endured or gamed is large.
Whether or not Leninism is real Socialism is a different question (there's a reason, though, why other socialists, including Marxists, have called it State Capitalism, though.)!

What is undisputable is that these are three different things:

1. Recognizing the conflict between labor and capital as a real and significant factor in capitalist society, and

2. Advocating Marxism, and

3. Advocating Leninism.

The societies in which Marxism has been most broadly applied are the developed “capitalist” societies, which have generally evolved from what Marx described as capitalism to what has been called (among other things) as “the modern mixed economy”, by adopting both elements of programs of various (in many cases, Marxist) critics of capitalism, or compromise positions.

There are also societies, which never were mature capitalist societies, that have tried to bypass mature capitalism and apply the Leninist course. Advocates laissez-faire capitalism like to point to these as a broad argument against socialism, while advocates of non-Leninist socialism tend to point to them as as arguments against the Leninism as a useful approach to socialism, whether or not they accept it as a genuine socialism.
At least in the USA, the addresses of military generals has already been pwned (at least by the CCP/PRC).

Jesus, what a pain. Why the hell do you need to wait for your proprietary OS vendor or BIOS vendor to update anything? On Linux the kernel does that for you, just configure your bootloader to point the kernel to a microcode image and that's it. Why can't windows do the same?
> there's not enough houses in the places people want houses

I think a possible solution to a lot of that problem is one that, by a tragic irony, we have COVID-19 to thank for making mainstream: remote work. If people's housing locations weren't tightly coupled to their job locations, there would be a lot more freedom for people to choose a place to live and places to live would be forced to compete on a more level playing field.

So even a 90% hydrogen concentration burning, existing gas turbine with zero modifications still doesn't count. I see the goalposts move even further...

Yeah, keep shoving your head up your own ass. Maybe you'll see daylight if you shove hard enough.
>>Ignoring down payments (which differ greatly between the two examples) and other expenses like property taxes, the 2020 mortgage rate allows someone to buy 172% as much house as they could in 2000.

In nominal dollars this is correct, but the $423,870 2020-dollars is equivalent to $660,449 2021-dollars, or only 11% more house in "real" terms, not 72%.[1]

>>[...] it shows how much mortgage rates are driving the housing price boom

I think the dual combination of mortgage rates and inflation-adjusted real value caused the increase in nominal housing prices.

>>Scary to think what's going to happen when (if?) rates start going back up.

Given that lower mortgage rates were essential to keep affordability barely within reach, we are in complete agreement here that higher rates will be really ugly, even if they might be necessary/inevitable.

It is a little insane how many wars were happening during those time periods.

I wonder if constitutions really did anything or it was just all technology's doing.

Maybe, unsurprising to HN, but I believe more in technology's impact than anything else. I can get onboard with the printing press having an impact, the same way social media is having one today. Technology enabled the wars, and probably similarly ended them.
You wrote this in response to someone who made a point of saying they weren't close to wealthy. There are many engineers here but all income and wealth levels are represented.
> You see this recently with Wikipedia. Google's widgets have been reducing traffic to Wikipedia pretty dramatically. Enough so that Wikipedia is now pushing back with a product that the Googles of the world will have to pay for.

I don’t understand this logic at all.

Just because one company is partially unionized that does not mean that all workers who wish to be part of a union try to work at that company. Maybe the working conditions changed (for the worse), or maybe the worker doesn’t want to move to another state just to work for a company that is unionized. Either way, it’s not like there’s a 1 company quota in every industry that can be unionized and then bam problem solved.
>People should feel secure in their living situation.

Interestingly, this is common ground with NIMBYs. They just interpret the conditions surrounding their home as part of the living situation they need to secure.
So you want to appeal to authority?
Here’s the thing: there is precious little if any empirical evidence suggesting that what is objectively measurable (e.g. solutions to textbook CS problems) has utility as an indicator of engineering competence. There are exceptions of course, for example in roles requiring a person implement such things as for a library, but these aren’t the rule.
Isn't that the system working? If a house costs more to build than anyone would pay for it, wouldn't it would be a bad idea to build it?
Annapolis convention fizzles out in 1786, the economic crisis leads to states providing relief to debtors, then 1787 Philadelphia convention rewrites the constitution to protect the bondholder class.

Unless the piece of paper containing the seed is in fact sealed (an opaque tamper-evident bag etc.), we can't know, whether or not it was accessed.
I agree. I’m rarely using a hash tables for growing data sets. In my experience, I’ve been more inclined to redesign the algorithm or use a different data structures at the point were a migrating hash table makes sense.

This article is so well written - I watched the videos they were talking about and it wasn't nearly as exciting. I just want Jacob Sweet to describe videos to me now.
Chemically they are net-neutral only if they are non-hydraulic lime, but hydraulic mortars do continue to absorb some CO2 over time.

Separately, they are nearly always heated with fossil fuels, but, unlike steel, it's not chemically helpful to do so.
If you believe modelling that actors can see the future perfectly is an advance - which is what Rational Expectations requires.

It's a fudge to try and explain why monetary policy works instantly rather than in eighteen months to two years time. However the evidence of the failure to raise inflation to 2% demonstrates that it is wrong in practice. Unsurprisingly the real world can't see the future perfectly.

Which is why you need advanced automatic stabiliser systems that actually work on the real world, not just the imagination.
If get() mutates the array internally, does that mean even "read-only" operations aren't thread-safe?

> As for the Systems Programming section, does he really think that knowing how a compiler works is a system-related topic?? and why is that level 1? shouldn't the first level be understanding things like system calls, filesystems, drivers, kernel operation?

I think the idea is that most people will start exploring the world of programming from higher layers working their way down. People use software, then they write software with tools (languages), then they try to understand the tools, then they try to understand what the output of the tools mean on a yet deeper level, going down the rabbit hole all the way down (to physics? but I guess the lines is drawn elsewhere).

This may be wrong but it's obvious from the rest of the matrix that this is probably just based on how the author and maybe their friends gained "proficiency".

None of this is generally applicable. I do think the,matrix is still valuable. It provides a view of how some people may evaluate competence (even if misguided wrt ordering/levelling) and provides a set of goals that are not bad per se. Being on the highest levels mentioned there does probably in fact translate to a certain high degree of experience and competence.
Those two phrases are functionally identical in American English in a retail context. The literal difference would not be appreciated by an annoyed shopper, unfortunately.
"owner of the company"?

This is common anti-union rhetoric. Am I an owner, with my $600 stock, and can I convince 89.5% of the other stock holders to vote with me?[0] Doesn't sound like ownership.

I had cloudflare set up on a mediawiki site until last year when for some reason I disabled it and discovered that a lot of issues I'd had accessing the site in Safari went away (like it not letting me login except in private browsing).
This is already happening in many attics and walls. Also that's why new construction technology deeply focuses on airtightness. The airborne particles you are pointing out is symptom of bad building science, not a cause.

Lots of general reasons, inertia, etc. Often companies stick to 1-2 preferred technologies and adding Presto isn't seen as a gain (even though it helped Facebook quite a bit). I also suspect Amazon re-packing it as Athena reduced adoption to some extent.

If looking at Presto (now Trino), the main thing to keep in mind is that you inherit the limitations of the underlying data store.

Its best when the underlying store (+ the Db adaptor implementation) lets you parallelize work and keep each node busy, and avoid processing data unnecessarily. Hive/S3 columnar format data works great for this (IIRC this was a major early use case). Other sources like RDBMS will have natural limitations. Kafka has its own issues since each query generally means re-scanning a topic, etc.

I see the data bridges as most useful as a way to bring data into the native/optimal format. Then do the heavy lift work in Presto.
I dunno, back of the envelope says you'd only lose 33% with today's HVDC lines from North Africa to North America. The ocean will sink the lost energy for us. And we can make up the difference with more solar/wind, which is cheap.

Superconducting would be nice to have, but doesn't seem necessary.

I assume GP is talking about US space programs only.

That the Space Shuttle was the only US space program with in-flight fatalities is significant.

That the USSR had fatalities in its own programs as well seems less relevant. It makes sense to compare US programs to US programs. Comparing US to USSR programs makes less sense.
Lots of small-community, low-tech societies (very much “pre-capitalist” in the view of either capitalist or Marxist teleogical economic descriptions).

Also some wood is being treated in buildings which makes it hard to recycle wood. Specially if this acts as insulation or earth contact, it will be an improvement.
Be glad you aren't slaving from 6am to 6pm. Unions fought for the privileges you enjoy now, whether or not you are yourself in a Union.

Further, if more people joined and supported Unions, Americans might one day get to enjoy the work/life balance that most of the rest of the world enjoys, with sufficient vacation time, paternity and maternity leave, etc.

> There are many engineers here but all income and wealth levels are represented.

how much would you like to bet that not a single engineer here makes minimum wage?
Why would it count in the context of climate change? It's still emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. And again, this is one specific model. Many gas turbines are only capable of much smaller concentrations: https://www.siemens-energy.com/global/en/news/magazine/2019/...

You're going from "we can just run existing gas turbines with hydrogen" to "this one specific gas turbine can use mostly hydrogen fuel but still needs 30% natural gas". Again 90% was peak not average hydrogen concentration.

Companies are looking at developing natural gas turbines that run on 100% hydrogen. But they're targeting 2030 or 2040. Are you going to tell GE and Seimens to shove their head up their ass, too?
I previously read in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Baghdad_(1258)#Destru...

> Some modern historians have cast some doubt on the vehemently anti-Mongol medieval sources.[46] George Lane (SOAS), for example, doubts the Grand Library was destroyed as the learned members of the Mongol command such as Nasir al-Din Tusi would not have allowed it, and that disease was the major cause of death.[47] Primary sources state that Tusi saved thousands of volumes and installed them into a building in Marāgheh.

Well, the plague being the plague certainly lends credence to this.
Huh?

Don't roads exist to facilitate vehicle transportation? If you need to do construction in order to make roads, what exactly is the point of them?

I don't understand what your thinking here is. You're comparing the expected results of a thing existing with possible actions to facilitate conditions for that thing to exist. Why are these supposed to be somehow equivalent or comparable?
Well I guess the next step is forced labour camps in HK too. You know, so they can properly develop creative software like the Uighurs do.
Elon isn't hired management. He built the company, and risked all of his personal assets in doing so.
Representatives of the union see the world differently. They don't see collaboration on the same goal, they see rich management exploiting employees to get even richer.

So it's really an us vs them mentality. Either I get richer, or you get richer. Don't expect these people to start reasoning about making the company they work for competitive.

At least this is the case in europe.
Legislators demanding that private companies censor private citizens is a coercion and limitation on free speech and violation of the first amendment. It’s not suddenly legal or ethical or moral just because the government is outsourcing their censorship to the tech cartel. It’s also not suddenly legal or ethical or moral because the means of speech coercion is legislative action that may hurt these companies. These shameless legislators are anti free speech, and therefore anti American authoritarians, and should be recalled from their offices.

Interestingly enough Amazon is also running into a similar issue, with Senator Elizabeth Warren threatening to break them up (https://mobile.twitter.com/amazonnews/status/137552910193152...) - a private corporation - for having the temerity to speak against the government (which is comprised of legislators like her). Personally I do think these giant tech monopolies/oligopolies should face antitrust scrutiny, but not for their exercise of their right to free speech.

As an aside: I am very grateful there are still real journalists like Glenn Greenwald out there, fighting against our slow descent into illiberality. I’m happy to be able to support independent journalism directly instead of relying on big news media outlets.
Most companies are targeting hydrogen gas turbines to be produced in 2030 or 2040: https://www.siemens-energy.com/global/en/news/magazine/2019/...

They aren't "off the shelf" technology yet.
The problem I have with Medium is that it’s not a source of consistently good reads. There’s some really good stuff there but far too many bad or out of date technical articles, “Look at me I’m a writer!! pieces” or content that needs a good edit.

It could be a good blogging platform/Wordpress.com replacement, or a good collection of magazines if it focussed on specific topics (or at least had the tech to let me see the content I want). But it falls in between.
Only read half the comments, so maybe someone has suggested this, but:

Either the seed or the ledger were compromised (I'm ignoring the trust wallet, that's not the interesting hack).

Either:

1. You're wrong about the paper copy of the seed (that is pretty obviously stored in your family's safe, based on your comments) never seeing the light of day.

2. There was another copy of the seed on some other medium (seems most likely to me, tbh — the trust wallet was also compromised so if there was a photo of the seed paper on the iPhone as well, that would add up neatly)

3. Someone got ahold of the ledger itself and the pin.

4. Your kid plugged in the ledger and got phished into signing a malicious transaction.

5. Someone has magic quantum voodoo powers and used it to steal < 10 BTC instead of stealing thousands.

6. You or your kid are lying.

I've been working in blockchain for 7 years and I definitely could have missed something but those are literally the only possible options that make any sense.
Google Shows Competitors in the SERP

>Qualcomm is only able to obstruct in this way because Linux doesn’t keep the kernel driver ABI stable for any fixed period of time.

The Linux kernel used by Android is based on the LTS version that now has 6 years of support [1]. So by the time an OEM releases a new device the support window will be about 4 years. Google has also been working to stabilize the Android kernel HAL so that OS updates don't require a brand new kernel [2]. Because of these developments Android devices can now offer 4 years of support [3].

>Windows Phone 10 was actually in a position to support phones for years and even got Qualcomm onboard. It’s a shame the platform was never competitive, and they’d burned all their goodwill on the 7 and 8 fiascos.

This is pure speculation and I highly doubt Qualcomm would have invested the time and money, to support a platform that had no chance of success, beyond their obligated 2 years of support at the time.

In interviews I ask candidates what their favourite editor is. Not to judge the choice, but to try to gauge if they care enough about the tools they use to have looked at different ones and taken a position.

I feel that there is a strong correlation between overall competency and whether someone cares about their tools, and their passion for their editor is a way of getting hints of that

My other comment, elsewhere, was "am I high or is the author?" which is always a good review.
Widdershins works pretty well. IIRC their README also links to a CLI tool that wraps Widdershins.

I containerized it and added some wrapper scripts so we can just drop the YAML spec in our repo and have build automation to generate/deploy a web site with all the relevant docs.

As bizarre as the stated API sounds, it's actually a good choice for a lock-free triple buffer where set() and get() are called on separate threads and shouldn't block each other: https://lib.rs/crates/triple_buffer

I think it's also useful for SPSC channels.
Even more moving of the goalposts... Now it's every single gas turbine out there needs to be upgradable to 100% hydrogen, and "peak" blends don't count.

Keep fucking that chicken.

Hell, your own source says:

> Similarly, the goal of 100 percent hydrogen combustion capability will be achieved step by step, test by test. “With hydrogen-fired gas turbines we can easily avoid the ‘valley of death’ where brilliant inventions die before they even scale to full potential,” says Larfeldt. “The same turbines can be used with different percentages of hydrogen in the fuel mix, with brown or green hydrogen. Existing gas turbines can be retrofitted to the latest standards. It’s an organic evolution.”

So your own source disagrees with you.
