Regardless of the motivation, i find the question of how would one stop bitcoin rather interesting.

I have not put a lot of thought into it, but my attack vector would be to force a government crack down.

To achieve this in china, where anecdotally most of the miners are operated, one would essentially have to make bitcoin an effective bypass around the party's censorship. Just posting a few bits of illegal content would of course not be enough, there would have to be an entire ecosystem of apps allowing you to read data of the blockchain and then a concerted effort to continuously upload content, think the nytimes uploading their front page in chinese daily. As you can imagine that would be rather costly.

Another potential attack vector that seems cheaper (but maybe isn't) would be to find/inject software vulnerabilities that would allow the attacker to cause service disruption or data loss in the most popular clients. Remote code execution, allowing one to take control of the nodes would be preferable as any flaw that would just cause a denial of service would be easily rolled back.

> Java is orders of magnitude faster than Python for code that doesn't spend all of its time waiting for IO.

It's hard to separate the absolute performance of Java the language from Java the culture where inefficient patterns or attempts to implement dynamic behaviors in some framework code defeat the JIT (not to mention the benefits of type-checking). If you have a team which cares, it should be faster but the average business app I see does not have that team and will, if lucky, perform within the same order of magnitude as Python.
If nothing else it serves to signal that your website doesn't want in on Google's bullshit.
Not at all, I though your point was how Rust and Go are a much better option.

> If I do, I won't go Java, I will choose something that is built for performance. Python is good enough for 99% of my performances need. The last 1%, jumping to java is not a big difference, I'll use rust or go.

So given that, I am curious where are those GUI alternatives with the required perfomance in Go and Rust.
Exactly that,

also they didn't rent out a furnished apartment, they will rent out a apartment and you will rent some overpriced furniture independent of the apartment from a 3rd party. It just "happened" that you sign both at the same time and that the same person (through proxy) profits from both.

While this still is illegal, it's to a point where even if the renting person tries to sue it likely would not be a super simple case, i.e. would take time.

And then if you agree on it why should you sue? And if you rant and then sue are you not afraid on ending up on secret illegal but unpreventable black list making it harder to find a apartment or gain a incorrect but still very troublesome Schufa (credit scoring) entry?

The problem is often phrased as people renting out apartments for moon prices.

But that's not the case, they rent them out for prices which are paid in many cases.(Also cost for renovating/building nearly doubled in the last ~10y for smaller property owners.).

The actual problem is that the people living in Berlin since a long time (potentially birth) don't earn enough to continue to do so. It's not that there aren't people paying and therefore there are a lot of empty properties (ok in some areas that happens too, in Berlin less so).

> I mostly write web servers in Go, which (as the article says) are executed rarely, so init time really doesn't matter to me.

Presumably a few mb of disk usage also doesn't matter then? I also write web services, but I do care about the init time precisely because I want to be deployments to take as little time as possible so that we can deploy (and rollback) many times per day with relatively simple automation. That said, the bottleneck to fast deployments isn't the binary starting up, but the machine pulling the executable artifact, so the binary sizes do matter to me. That said, very often these executable artifacts are a Docker image, which tend to come with a lot more bloat than one will find in a Go binary, so step 1 is getting your Go binary on a scratch image.
Yeah, because he did so much for Python tooling at Google.
1. Stop job hopping!

Instead job level-up.

The difference is that you build something to launch yourself up higher. You had the gem of that at Amazon in your outreach efforts but left rather than pursue it.

Take it on the chin and re-contact Amazon and point out your previous extra efforts and point out that you would like to find out what path there might be for those that do such efforts. Possibly the same Vp you emailed the suggestion to perhaps.

you have the gem already to solve this in what you did at Amazon in reaching out to the VP with a useful suggestion.

You now have to own it in that you have to focus on those extra efforts with better out-reach communication. Ask that VP for assistance in that aspect.

Anyone thinking that Rust is ready to be used in the kernel, just read the post first. It is very short. Then read these comments to look for what you need answered.

For me, the main point is Can Rust be written to guarantee that no oom (or other hard fail 128-bit math) panic occurs that is not under control of the written code? I want the answer to be yes and also want to see how (which isn't far off from what Linus is asking).

So not sure I'm following, the php solution can handle huge traffic at a low cost with a conmparable feature set? How do they achieve that then?
Taking a look at phpBB it looks like they are not using a framework (e.g https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb/blob/master/phpBB/posting.php). This is good for performance but pretty shitty for an OSS proeject, anyone looking to contribute here needs to start from scratch. Discourse happens to have 4x as many contributors.

There will be some interesting equilibrium. If people hire and pay remote workers exactly the same, they are saying that, for their particular type of work, there is absolutely no value of seeing people in person.

Google, Facebook and other companies, in my opinion, are allowed to continue ignoring the law, because they provide valuable information to various services. They are essentially an enormous network of unwilling spies / informants. If the data they (in my opinion) provide wasn't useful, they would have been shut down long time ago.

Other thing is why even publish materials like this and what's the point of such commissions if they are toothless?

Isn't that a massive waste of tax payer money?

In many countries government creates various commissions to be able to give family members and associates well paid bogus jobs or pay for favours (if you vote for X, we will give a job to your wife's sister) and so on. Other reason is also to tick boxes - when asked by unscripted journalist about something, they can say look we care about this, we setup a commission...
You could just buy a stablecoin based on $,€ or gold....
This sarcastic and snarky view is a bit shortsighted, isn’t it? Piracy worked because it was decentralized distribution. If the government goes after the gatekeepers in the same way they went after piracy they’re not just shutting down distribution - they’re taking the asset too. When someone takes over a coinbase or a binance they’re taking the coins.

Not your keys, not your coins. Your response now will, of course, be “well that’s why you rotate your coins out into cold storage” which is sort of like me saying “you just convert your lira to dollars at the end of the day when you’re done buying food and water.”

Andy Jassy went on record during an interview at the 2020 re:Invent that hinted at this. His concerns were more around Amazon's inventiveness being lost if folks weren't in the same physical space as their peers.

Given the way Amazon operates (a lot of their processes are around "reinvent, rinse, repeat" at pace leading to "go big or go home"), I believe, the leadership concluded that it couldn't be done with a remote-first culture off the cuff. The leadership probably needs more time to figure remote-work out rather than blanket approve for all teams.

From what little I know, Amazon already has a model for "away teams" (distributed teams with some overlapping concerns across geographies) that fits processes required for remote-work within Amazon's operating model but I take it needs to be refined further for it to be applied across all of Amazon.

tldr; Amazon isn't the kind of company to resist change; and so, I am positive that for teams that can function just as well remotely would be allowed to do so eventually whilst the leadership works on improving other processes that works given Amazon's scale, culture, and needs.

It's none of your business. The electricity is purchased privately. "Load placed on grids starts to impact the average consumer" is like somebody keeps buying all the boxes of the kind of Cheerios you like, i.e., not an infringement of your rights, just market stuff happening. You living in my neighborhood "impacts" me in ways I don't like, but I don't give you a hard time about it because I don't have the mentality of putting my nose into the details of other people's lives. There's an unacknowledged cult rising to prominence, and one of its tenets is that "electricity should only be used in small quantities for approved purposes". Well, I reject that. If your concern is pollution, please speak about that, not electricity use.
Totally agree, especially about Maven/Gradle. I'd also like to point out that the popular Spring Framework is just... annoying. It's full of magic. You have to know the right incantations to get anything done. Somehow there is too much documentation and not enough at the same time.

Ask HN: Help needed for medical assistance in dying
I hope you're all managing through the pandemic. Any help would be sincerely appreciated with the following.
My situation isn't pleasant. I'm having a difficult time ending my life. I live in Montreal, Quebec. Here in Canada, it's legal to end one's life by suicide and by a physician when the patient satisfies legal criteria for medical assistance in dying.

Last year I was diagnosed with cancer. I also have another illness (gender dysphoria) but incurable that makes my life intolerable. I'm refusing treatment for the cancer "besides pain medication" because of my preexisting medical condition. I'm doing well emotionally with coping and I've been starting to end contacts with friends in preparation for dying.

From the very start of the cancer diagnosis, I've been requesting medical assistance in dying by speaking with my Oncologist and the request to him isn't being processed. The hospital's complaint commissioner isn't helping as well. I'm spoken to a few lawyers "that I cannot afford" and they've confirmed I do qualify for medical assistance in dying but the problem is a doctor can refuse for personal reasons. So, when I go to other Hospitals, ERs, walk-ins, I'm told "speak with your oncologist" while they're ignoring my explanation of why that's not helpful. They also refuse to let me request on a form for medical assistance in dying. I'm told they don't do that here.

I'm starting to get to my wits end and planning a suicide instead in the near future. I really wish I could have my death done by a physician but it seems like my age with how the cancer is currently considered treatable by surgery is making nobody want to help me until the cancer has spread everywhere. I've been told by my Oncologist that without treatment I'm looking at less than a year for life expectancy. Again, any help/advice/opinions I'm grateful to read.

IDE's can be fiddly, and anyway I don't think it's good to depend on an IDE for building.

The project could have been set up instead with the "Maven wrapper"(1) which provides "mvn.cmd/sh" scripts at the top level of the project to fetch and run the proper Maven. So after cloning the project, all you have to do is set a proper JAVA_HOME if it's not already set, and then do "./mvn clean package" at the top of the project to do a complete build. The IDE's will then set themselves up properly if you import the project as a Maven project, and will sync with changes to the Maven pom.xml whenever it changes (Intellij does at least). That's really hard to beat.

There was an even smaller team in 2.X, and 2.X broke less stuff while still providing new features.

So no.

It's a matter of product vision here.
Over long periods of time, and assuming I chose stable 3rd party libraries in the first place, I've found that breakages are down to (a) language changes, and (b) patched security holes. And that's where the risk of a majorly changed (or disappeared) library comes in, triggering a re-write. So it's not just a matter of sticking with the old stuff, unfortunately.

At the risk of doxxing myself, (who am I kidding), I have experience working with a global, fully remote team. My experience is that, when you select for talent in a larger pool (globally) you get people who are incredibly skilled and driven, so much so that that the effective reduction in productive capacity is eclipsed by talent of the team that you can form. However, this is anecdotal & I may be biased due to luck with landing with an exceptionally talented team.

Remote work actually is a drawback for the employee rather than the employer. Human contact is something that is quite important for relationships to form. Some people adapt well to it because they grew up on computers & grew up making friends on the internet, but for others in person communication is quite important.
Btrfs is stable and has been widely used in production for years. Facebook uses it, SUSE CaaS uses it, the officially recommended platform for SAP is SLES, which has defaulted to btrfs for the root filesystem since 2014.

Btrfs brings snapshots, rollback, deduplication, storage pools, checksumming, send/receive and a whole host of other features. It's a completely different type of filesystem to ext4.

Calling btrfs "experimental" at this point is like calling electric cars "experimental".
Interesting! I'm not from a Clojure world but that stability is great.
