You're describing this process is going to be incredibly smooth, but you need to consider that what you have written actually has massive political and economical implications...

> But before they do that, they will create a new currency, the USDNew, replace every existing $ with USDNew on a one to one basis, and then pay back their debt in old dollars.

Wait a minute, are you saying that the US is going to default on their own currency? OK, then be ready for every country to instantly not trust the US dollar anymore, leading to a devastating devaluation of the dollar and import prices skyrocketing off the charts. And guess what: the US, having gone through serious amounts of deindustrialization and being used to rely on foreign imports, now doesn't know how to make things anymore, so expect hyperinflation across all sorts of manufactured goods, many of which are needed in people's daily lives and jobs! You can't just expect national production capacity to quickly catch up to demand; industry takes actual time to rebuild itself.

Also, I think people underestimate the fact that the current strength of the US dollar isn't really backed by exports - it's because of the US's massive military / political strength that can crush any small country if they do not obey the ideology of 'their' free market. For example, through the petrodollar system they have been able to force oil (the most important commodity) in the Middle East countries to be only be bought in US dollars, in return for military protection. And any country that tries to deviate from this system will be fucked (for example, Iraq, Iran, and now probably Venezuela, who all got fucked after trying to sell their oil in something other than US dollars). This new petrodollar system has forced US dollar demand to skyrocket throughout the entire world, to replace the previous Bretton Woods system that ran on gold. The verdict is: the US dollar will only devalue if the current neoliberal ruling class of the US decides to forfeit any military intervention and policing throughout the world to establish markets beneficial for them (especially the Middle East). But I think the current ruling class is never going to give up on this, so a political change of hands (through either democratic or non-democratic means) would be necessary. And that's where all the political implications are.

> So basically in the worst case situation the US would have enjoyed decades of benefits for the dollar hegemony, and will now take the advantages of those benefits to compete inehat will be a slightly more even global economic market.

The problem is the 'take the advantages of' part - if your US dollars become toilet paper, and you do not have the infrastructure to build things, then you really don't have anything to take advantage of (after losing your World Police (TM) status). At least the US still has a shit-ton of natural resources to begin with though. But really, what you should immediately focus after the total devaluation of the US dollar would not be about rebuilding but dealing with widespread unrest and an actual imminent civil war.
Glad to see CCC in the news. They deserve every bit of support they can get.
I logged into HN so I can reply to your post. Thank you so so much for sharing. I can relate to your story in so many ways.
18 U.S. Code CHAPTER 121—STORED WIRE AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND TRANSACTIONAL RECORDS ACCESS

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2706

"...this title shall pay to the person or entity assembling or providing such information a fee for reimbursement for such costs as are reasonably necessary and which have been directly incurred in searching for, assembling, reproducing, or otherwise providing such information."

Not your lawyer. Just providing a link to an example law describing how some ISPs can profit from data requests.
Python already has (limited) pattern matching. Example:

for foo, (bar, baz) in nested_tuple_list:
...

This works as expected. The current 3.10 implementation is just half-baked. They should have expanded the existing pattern matching facilities (added support for data structure destructuring).

Presumably then you could just have used the existing walrus operator inside the already existing if-else constructs.

That would have been the obvious path of least surprise. What we got instead seems inadequate.

I'm not developer of miniflux itself, just regular user.

The miniflux idea is minimalism. It's a feed reader that has one job and it does it good. So the client to such server should be minimalistic, too.

At least, that's what I think about it
Your phone gets stolen so you use your bank card and password to set a new phone number on your account. Your bank card gets stolen so you use your phone and password to get a new bank card.

If someone steals your phone and password and bank card and ability to receive mail at your home address all at once then you're pretty screwed, but you're pretty screwed then regardless, right? That's the level of screwed where somebody else can also get a government ID in your name.
Ha - that's great.

They went through the work to make some shitty jam to sell to make it harder for WB to argue they're squatting on their IP.

I'm glad WB just used their existing site.

To my eyes the world does look like a complicated toxic mess. YMMV.
True, because that was already a hard problem by itself. And it got even worst with the recent additions.

Is anything capable of disrupting Twitch at this point?

YouTube would be impossible to disrupt, but Twitch is ephemeral. So maybe if enough people got outraged?
Yes I read it. I intended to respond to the HN subject line claiming Homo Erectus was “basically a carnivore.”

The Inuit diet provides an exception that appears to support the idea that humans are carnivores. However the Inuit are modern humans dating from the Holocene. They migrated to the Arctic and adapted to their diet out of necessity as the climate changed. The Inuit diet includes some berries, tubers, and seaweed.

“Carnivore” has a specific meaning and human beings don’t fit. We are omnivorous. When meat is available we tend to prefer eating meat, but we don’t exclusively eat meat like cats do. We can digest a lot of foods, but not leaves and grass like chimps and gorillas can (at least not very efficiently).

Not really. More like the city rents out the light poles to companies who can staple messages to them. Some companies put up CP. The city then tries their best to not shut them down, and protects these companies because they pay rates that are way above market. I.e. the "not taking it down" is part of the deal.
Seriously, stop with this crap. The people on this forums are some of the people who have the know-how to actually DO something about the internet. If they can't discuss these things, we get the situation that your company seems to like - SV decides what's allowed on the internet and what's not. Those of us outside of the US don't like it very much, and we'd prefer to - you know - talk about it.
I think the reverse is too naive. We see the exact abhorrent results that occurs when hosters are made liable. Look at youtube for example. There is no novel content any more. Everything that could offend someone is removes or demonitized.

What good does forcing a hoster to police their content? Do you think child porn will suddenly not exist anymore? Do you think child porn producer think "oh no, my website was taken down. Oh well I better stop doing this and get a stand up job."

Memory usage? 20 terminal emulators will consume half GB of memory.

I know being an "elitist" is not in fashion these days, but very few of us (and certainly not me) are qualified to answer this.

Looking at his body of work, there is no question that Stephen Hawking was a genius, so this is not a slight against him in any way.

However, the most famous people in a given field arre not necessarily those who are advancing the field the most. While a Google search will turn up lists of his contributions, most people who are not practicing physicists would even know the names of all the other people who should be considered let alone their contributions.

So how can we realistically compare?
It’s a rather obvious flaw, to anyone who has been to any continent but North America.

Any old city of Europe, and many of South America, the Mideast and Asia, beats the generic, parking-lot dominated mid-sized American city in quality of Life.

NY, SF, and a select few others illustrate the old adage about Americans always doing the right thing, after exhausting all other options.

But the vast majority, operating with what planners seem to perceive as endless scrolling in all all directions, are dystopian.

Sim City replicates that scenario. Neither its tools, nor depth of simulation, allow for any emergent behaviour that doesn't fit the predefined mould (pun not intended, but appreciated).

It’s the grid, the strict zoning, and the coal or nuclear plant built as close to the neighboring city as possible.
If your map starts with any hilly terrain, you’ll better bulldoze it now, or you’ll regret it later. If there’s any river, it better fit the grid.

Good science is when you get out more than you put into you model. The same is true of simulations, and SimCity never did.

Ah yeah, I tried Miniflux among the handful suggested back when Reader was shut down. Very slick client, I just lost the appetite for setting up local web apps with their own databases. Stuck with newsbeuter for a while, now newsboat.

I set up the latter recently, specifically to track YouTube updates from certain channels, it works very nicely, but for news and blogs you don't tend to get full posts anymore. So it's constantly clicking through to browser and back again. Not ideal. Something like w3m and newsboat crossed, basically a browsable bookmarks list, might be a good compromise.

This project looks clean, as per Miniflux, I just worry about all the overhead of the setup and then not getting full posts to read...
> I'd also hope we have the technology and chemical engineering know how to create pain killers they can be used for long term care effectively.

We don’t. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid_epidemic_in_the_United_...
... yes. That is indeed what is meant by ex falso quodlibet. It does not make the example invalid.
SimCity very much does express an ideology, though generally not because the designer wanted to.

But try to zone something for mixed use.

SimCity itself tells you that certain things will happen under certain conditions, and it is generally wrong about those predictions. It's not intended to be an accurate simulation; it's intended to be amusing and to conform to people's intuitions about what they want to happen when they plan their city in a certain way. But people play it and feel they're learning something about how cities actually work.
Please read http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls. Now you can find such a page of footguns for almost any language out there. But this on a whole different level and affects even the most fundamental features. One can't even for-loop a list of files or use echo in the first intuitive way without running into a trap that potentially blows up your whole system. It's the complete opposite of "pit of success"

Familiarity is of course an important factor, though I would actually claim the problem is the opposite, people reach towards bash - because of familiarity of what they type on the cli. Not realizing that scripting is a complete different world from interactive use where you can inspect, correct and manually adjust every action step by step, with same input each time.

A language with only string as a data type (it has arrays and numbers but its so confusing and converts implicitly that you might as well ignore it, IFS anyone?), surprising quoting, data and input interpreted as code, globbing and expansions where you least expect it, global variable everything, no module-system, only error handling is either errexit or manually checking each command and every sub-pipe, functions make error-handling behave even weirder. It can't be made safe no matter how hard you try to familiarize yourself with it.
Nationalistic crapware ads in Russia. No taiwanese flag or VPN apps in China. No warrant protections for stored data due to FISA in the USA, and potentially
the censorship of foreign apps that the department of commerce can direct Apple to ban. This isn't the end, this is the beginning.

At what point do corporations become obligated to ignore or break unjust laws?

Google pulled out of China to not censor search, then tried to get back in with a custom-built censored search product.

I think the lack of a moral compass in the face of ever-expanding authoritarian states is the biggest danger of corporations to our society: not the profit motive, the simple fact that all manner of totalitarian bullshit can be explained away by those doing the building as "well, we have to comply with the laws in the places we operate".
For me as a parent, I found this snippet from the article interesting:

It may also work as a prophylactic: recent studies suggest that teenagers whose parents set – and manage to enforce – earlier bedtimes are less at risk of depression and suicidal thinking. Like light therapy and sleep deprivation, the precise mechanism is unclear, but researchers suspect a closer fit between sleep time and the natural light–dark cycle is important.

I have an 8 year old girl and notice that every time the bedtime routine is delayed her behaviour gets worse both in the evening and the day after.
Fuck SaaS. Biggest waste of my life :D
Free speech is important as you state so yourself.
You seem to fundamentally misunderstand one of the most important WHY of the "digital free speech" argument.

Technologically the state can't enforce it. So if you get your wish you made a law that only spies on law-abiding citizens.

In your plea we can simply start here:

"data centres to be aware of the content which is hosted"

Is the datacenter responsible for the content MyImages.rar? What if its password protected? What if everybody knows the password?

Any 'techinical' solution will require extremely complex infrastructure, laws, and safeguards.

I’ve not had any issues opening a file from WSL in my IDE, which is running from Windows.
I only get a new laptop once every several years. Doesn't really seem worth it to me personally. I also sort of like starting fresh in a way. Granted I have my dot-files on github to make that part easier. But I don't mind running the install command for things as they come up.

I'm curious if there are other benefits to this approach though besides just saving time when setting up a new machine. The article mentioned "you end up with (in my opinion) a much more flexible working environment." Any ideas what they might mean?
I don't hear any different whatsoever. I fired up cubase and all of the tones of the keyboard matched exactly to what I was hearing from Serum.

Am I missing something? Do I need to get a spectrum analyzer to see the difference?

> I recall something about city planners using Sim City back in the day as part of their education, which horrified Will Wright since in his words (paraphrasing) “sim city is just cellular automata with some differential equations sprinkled on top.”

It was never intended to model the development of actual cities.
Note that the impressing 9x% efficiency rates that we hear about are peak efficiency rates. There is something to gain in widening the operating ranges of this efficiency also. See for instance https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Efficiency-maps-of-sever...

Consult with a tradmark/IP lawyer. They will be more equipped to look at your specific case and give you legally valid and actionable advice - way more than HN can.
What I have been struggling to understand for a few weeks is why wait so long? As the article points out, the device is at risk. Not only from cold, and from power depletion, but also its off-the-shelf electronics in a harsher-than-Earth-standard EM environment.

I gather it may have to do with power limitations but it seems like it could have been kept charged enroute...
Smithsonian Open Access – 3M 2D and 3D digital items for download
Same. The only useful addition was type hints.

Now, every two releases they add a "language feature". Some library maintainers jump in the bandwagon, and WOOSH! : half the ecosystem depends on CPython to run. Bye Jython, Cython, PyPy, Micropython, etc and bye the code analysis and code transformation tools : all outdated until more funds or voluntary dev are willing to fix them

In an ideal world, the community should fork Python 2.7, rename it and add type hints. But that's too late, all the dev time was spent on making libraries compatible only with some recent versions of CPython
The number of possible outcomes grows exponentially with time, and so does the ensemble size required to capture the extremal behaviour. Repeated losses bring you closer to zero, which is relatively well sampled by many realisations, but repeated wins produce exponentially larger returns, and so missing out on these realisations catastrophically affects the ensemble average.

A shorter run (say 100 steps) would be more likely to capture enough realisations to produce a reasonable estimate. You could assess this behaviour yourself, for very low step numbers, by calculating the variability in a sampled ensemble average, relative to the exhaustive (i.e. true) ensemble average.

This particular problem is another consequence of the properties dynamical system being examined, but not quite the same as the issues caused by its non-ergodicity.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm not sure if that means anything; coming from a random stranger on the HN. But thank you for sharing what must have been an unimaginably difficult time for you.

Love it, great work!

One recommendation I have is Jacob Kaplan-Moss' blog:
https://jacobian.org/index.xml
Well, you did not mention a password before. With a password, you introduce a new 'security feature' which changes your argument in a non-trivial way.

This might work better than your proposal before.
It has stopped, though. Single-threaded performance, either in absolute value, or per dollar has not been following Moore's law for more than a decade.

And outside of data centers, single-thread performance is still king.

Performance per watt has improved, but that's not a metric the typical end user cares much about.
I have a co-worker who had the idea of stuffing Ansible into a container. This would allow anyone to easily run any Ansible playbooks without having to deal with dependencies and versions. It’s absolutely terrible to use. You end up having wrapper scripts to make it even remotely usable.

Mounting things in the right locations is a nightmare, even minor changes becomes a hassel. For Ansible, just learn to use virtualenvs.

Terraform may be a little better.
His initial public reaction [0]:

> This is not how I expected to wake up this morning.

> I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishment. But rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations. To be honest, I do not feel like I deserve to be in the company of so many of the trans formative figures that have been honored by this prize.

Looking at his eventual speach[1], it is pretty clear his view didn't change:

> And yet I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the considerable controversy that your generous decision has generated. [humble boilerplate about other people being more deserving]

> But perhaps the most profound issue surrounding my receipt of this prize is the fact that I am the Commander-in-Chief of the military of a nation in the midst of two wars. One of these wars is winding down. The other is a conflict that America did not seek; one in which we are joined by 42 other countries -- including Norway -- in an effort to defend ourselves and all nations from further attacks.

> Still, we are at war, and I'm responsible for the deployment of thousands of young Americans to battle in a distant land. Some will kill, and some will be killed. And so I come here with an acute sense of the costs of armed conflict -- filled with difficult questions about the relationship between war and peace, and our effort to replace one with the other.

He goes on to talk about how war is paradoxically necessary for peace. But even then, he talks about historic examples, not anything in particular he has done.

Lazarus is nowhere near as polished and nice as Delphi, despite having years to get it to that point.

There are no native GUI components, everything is the same old and ancient custom Lazarus VCL design. Why can't I just drag, drop, and use a native Qt5 component?

They struggled for years getting a dockable interface, and it's still shockingly bad bordering unusable. The community seems stuck in the Delphi 7-interface era.

I used to love and use Delphi. It was my first "proper" programming language, and it's what I learned. But I just cannot advocate for its use in the current climate, especially after having been exposed to other developer communities and the superior tooling and availability. I try to go back every couple of years or so and try to use it, but it's just not there.
I don't understand: what in your opinion is in most of that 500 megs or so of memory?

the executable file is read-only, so the OS loads only 1 copy of it into memory, which is shared by the 20 processes.
