I agree about the ideal world solution being to only use home designed/produced tech. Sadly there are only a few companies on earth actually making this tech. For a long time the only company with a real 5G solution was Huawei. I'm as suspicious of the Chinese as the next rational human. I just think almost all telecoms infrastructure is compromised by the US, so its about picking the problem rather than avoiding it...

I would tend to agree. Learning to be part of a community should be the a goal of a new user. But the community should feel some obligation here too.

My initial experience here was I made a couple of comments which I thought were helpful and instantly had a -7 karma. Ten minutes into my experience and I was an outsider. That is a bit discouraging for a someone who has been coming to HN for years and finally decided to make an account.

Perhaps this is why people complain about the voting system. This does give the sense that you need to conform in order to be accepted.
Honestly just pony up for CLion. It is actively developed (support for makefiles and arbitrary build systems was just added in addition to the existing CMake) and JetBrains has a super reasonable subscription that lets you keep the last version you had indefinitely if you ever cancel.
Speaking of unwanted knot behaviors, your headphones will knot in a pocket if you reel them up around your hand as usual, introducing a twisting moment to the wire. They will knot much less likely, if you fold them into a /\/\/\ shape instead without rotational moves. Not applicable to wireless earbuds.
Well OK but not all passwords are hex numbers! Given that testing a few simple classes the length of the shorter one takes about a second or two then that seems worthwhile.

It's been a while since I fired up John the Ripper but it has low hanging fruit modes built in.

So even if you are using quite long simple alphanum strings of gibberish then seriously consider adding one or more character class into the mix eg capitals and easy to identify special chars like $£% etc.

To really go for gold why not mix entire scripts eg the usual en_* alphabet and say Bulgarian Cyrillic. Gasp as your keyboard mapper explodes! Alternatively, look into MFA.

I watched one Japanese cartoon once in my childhood.

There was a flying robots flying killing everybody. Do you know its's name? I always wanted to rewatch it, but have no idea what's its name.

I'm trying to piece together what I watched in childhood.

Since a few years ago, people who are more into cartoons cued me on that:

Blue alien who shoots lasers from its bra is Guyver, and that it's not an alien, and is a guy.

A communist coup in space is Ryvius, and on a closer look, communists were actually high class cadets with parents in high up places, and not the other way around.

I got rid of an SRO in my neighborhood. It was a shitshow... drug deals, issues with open containers and prostitution, car break ins, etc.

You are correct, as indicated by the following quote on the page I linked: “The finished Ian Knot is identical to either the Standard Shoelace Knot [...].”

Changing my Granny Knot (unbalanced) to a Standard Shoelace Knot (balanced) would have produced the same result. However, I found the Ian Knot approach to be helpful in preventing me from absentmindedly reverting back to the Granny Knot.

FWIW, no significant changes to the language are expected in the next couple of years.

Another side of this argument is that the rate of Elm ecosystem change is far more manageable than for JS.

A "stable JS framework" is an oxymoron, I'm afraid. My JS tools and NPM packages continuously change from under me, but somehow that's considered normal and not a problem.

I've just looked up a project I have with a mere 9 dependencies, and 7 of them have gone through multiple major version changes since the end of 2019. The other two have had minor releases. None are unchanged, even though all were already "stable" when I added them! Will the code still work if I update them? I don't know. Do I want to spend the time continuously tracking the changes to these dependencies, testing, making new releases of my project? Not really.

Perhaps I could continue deferring dependency updates, but that might make my job that much more painful when I have a legitimate reason to update (eg. for some new features I need) as half the package APIs will have changed beyond recognition by then.

I have so much less trouble with going back to Elm projects and picking up where I left off. That should be taken into consideration too.
Given a clockwise counting of corners, with the "outside" facing away from you (so you are looking at / reaching "into" the sheets from the elastic side):

grab the inside of 2, invert, shove into the inside of 1.
do the same for 3 into 4.
now you have a sheet folded in half, with two pairs of corners together.
grab the inside of 1+2, invert, shove into the inside of 3+4.
now it's folded to a quarter, and all the messy stuff is together.
lay out flat, straighten messy stuff a bit, so you can do the next step more easily.
grab the whole thing, chuck into the closet.
So ebooks are much cheaper than printed books then, right. Obviously not. All the work the publishers aren't doing on them, and the material savings in not even publishing them to paper ... but ebooks cost more.

So what are publishers doing in return for the higher sales price of ebooks?

Celebrated in this context doesn't mean throwing a party or rejoicing, it is being used here as a synonym for praised or lauded. And specifically, saying something like this should not be celebrated is meant to convey that this ought to be considered normal as opposed to exceptionally good. Most people would consider fewer deaths to be good, but in this cases there hasn't been any reduction - these are just two different sources of deaths.

No one at any point was saying police shootings are a good thing. The other poster is saying that dealing with police shootings should be a lower priority than dealing with murder, and that there is conflict between these goals. I on the other hand am saying that there is not conflict between the goals and that their priority is irrelevant. I believe his method to be ineffective, not ill-intentioned.
Where inflation gets people is typically with wages since wages rise slowly. People with large savings are not sitting on cash. They are invested in things that typically rise right along with inflation.

I do agree with you, it would be super frowned upon to go around doing the same thing with common names of other ethnicities. I don't think its right that we're okay with low-key disparaging one race but not another. At one point in time I think people would have considered that to be racist, but I guess that's not a thing anymore.

Isn't it more "that they think they can sell and maximise their profit above other things they might choose to sell". It's close but has a couple of distinct differences. One is cost to them, the other is sellability (and by that publisher in particular).

It may be wise to explicitly describe in your post what you consider "good work", including tests, clean code, etc.
Because it's more stable, has better debugger, testing, etc. In Visual Studio Code I feel like things might break if just update it, or the plugin/extension got updated. Also you can keep the whole team in the same "boat" with single IDE, and your IT would know how to respond.

Outside America the hostel/guesthouse scene worked well for me as a longer term traveler, I even met others doing the "digital nomad" thing and fairly well-off people so there isn't a stigma like in America. When I mention the concept of hostels (even private room ones) to less-traveled Americans, some rolled their eyes and made comments about personal safety, poverty, and "not having your own big space."
My dad ran section 8 programs for a decade or more. They meet higher code standards than many suburbia “luxury” apartments.

Slumlords who don’t maintain buildings to code are bottom of the barrel renting to a very limited and desperate clientele. Encouraging that is nuts.

The notion that evil firefighter unions are making real estate expensive by advocating for codes that put them out of business is probably the most ill-informed comment I’ve read in some time. Absurd. Getting rid of balloon frames and cocklofts raised construction costs... but saved thousands of lives.

Why is it obviously wrong?
Actually, no. Stock trading is settled over a period of two days only because of how the system is currently organized; it is technically possible to settle trades at the end of the day, or even in real time, and there are exchanges in the world that settle trades rapidly. The reason the US exchanges have not changed is inertia, and settlement periods have actually decreased just in my lifetime.

One real reason why digital currencies are not widely deployed is crime. Already there is a growing problem of ransomware demanding Bitcoin payments; a "true" digital currency that was as convenient as Bitcoin and allowed offline (peer-to-peer) payments (which Bitcoin does not and cannot support) would enable "perfect crimes." This was a concern raised in the 90s when digital cash was being proposed:

https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.46...

This was one of the concerns that prevented banks from adopting e-cash (as the term is understood by cryptographers), though I have been told by people who worked on this that law enforcement agencies were satisfied that they could still "follow the money" since the anonymity property was narrowly defined (banks could not link deposits to withdrawals, but banks would still know who had made a particular deposit, merchants would still be able to identify customers, etc.).

If you were a low-effort spammer (Edit: I'm not suggesting you are a spammer btw) you'd never notice and keep on posting spam into the void. Whereas if you were notified you might create new accounts ad infinitum increasing the administrative burden of HN.

I once implemented a similar feature for the comments on my blog along with an embarassingly simple filter to identify the spammers initially. The volume of spam on a no-name nerd's blog and the degree to which this approach resolved it were both surprising to me.

On a later incarnation of the blog I just removed the commenting feature, but I guess that wouldn't be a sensible strategy for HN :)

Ask HN: Significance of “8” or “88” in cryptocurrency/NFTs
Can anyone explain why 8 seems to be a recurring price and/or theme in all things “crypto.” From NFT prices 8 or 88 or 88.88 to “crypto” related domain names being priced in usd $8,888.88.

At first I thought money laundering (keeping transactions below $10k), then I thought maybe there is something to it meaning or representing wealth in China sort of like a lucky number...now I’m just under the impression it’s got to be a meme - like the egg meme as it relates to crypto - coming from telegram/discord channels.
At a previous job we were repeatedly running into memory pressure issues and had talked about converting to a 64-bit application on and off for years. It was something I had pushed for as we were doing increasingly baroque work-arounds and I was asked to do some work to estimate what it would take to convert over. Ultimately it was decided not to do so and one of the repeated reasons that was cited for why we shouldn't was "Visual Studio isn't 64-bit, why are we so worried!?" Suffice it to say, I found that reasoning pretty frustrating and I am curious to know what will happen now that VS can no longer be cited.
I Got into Tech
A lot of people are saying "I would never hire this man".

You're looking at it wrong. The idea is to find interesting problems that have unknown amounts of ROI but should still be tackled by someone. Give him some cash and something interesting to chew and see what he comes up with. It's kind of like tending to a houesplant.

If he produces nothing of value, then fine you know the idea was probably a dud anyway, but you didn't have to spend any time on it. And if he does spawn something of value, you can take the work and have more qualified engineers work on it full time.

Personally, I find the best use case for people like this is to throw ethically questionable tasks at them. Stuff you shouldn't really have a full time employee doing, but would be perfectly fine outsourcing to a contractor who works off the books.
I can understand why downvoting replies is prohibited, it could harm conversations. But prohibiting downvoting in submitted stories assumes some kind of self interest, which I doubt is the norm.

Would like to know y'all opinion ;).
64 bit is an improvement IMO. If the main process has more memory to work with, then it’s easier to keep things in memory and in a single process where you don’t have to incur IPC overheads.

As mentioned elsewhere, the switch does increase pointer sizes, but I’d be very surprised if that is significant compared to the amount of memory used by strings and other data.
When I found myself with a mandate and a budget in a previous company, I set out to hire a team. The health, happiness, and productivity of the team overall was my top priority. In terms of budget I didn't think in terms of what I got from any one individual contributor vs. what I paid. Rather, I assessed the cost of the total team vs. what the business was getting from that team.

Francesco's experiment seems to rely on an assumption that he can bow out of things that teams typically need their members to do (such as daily standups) if he accepts less pay, as if the team-level work could somehow be parceled out and evaluated in a piecemeal basis in terms of budget. The issue with that is that there is a level of engagement that is non-negotiable in a team. If I thought Francesco would act as a force function for the team and help them be more cohesive, faster-moving, and results-driven, then I would bring him on-board and pay him comparably to what I paid the other members of the team who were producing equivalent results. If Francesco decided that he didn't want to do the sorts of things that the team required of him to be an active and productive participant in the team effort, then to me Fencesco's value could very well be negative.

Kernal: Platform for founders to find/share startup ideas
We realized that there are platforms for products (like Product Hunt), questions (like Quora), and fundraising (like AngelList), but there isn't a platform for people to share and validate startup ideas to see if they’re worth building. We built a consolidated space for entrepreneurial creatives to find, share and grow startup ideas.

e noticed too many great startup conversations happening on subreddits, Twitter threads, and podcasts. We wanted to launch Kernal to provide these creative people with the ability to post their startup idea onto a landing page so that they can validate the idea, get early adopters and see if it’s worth bringing to life.

Too many ideas die in notebooks or google docs without people knowing if they’ve got momentum. We want to arm the ideators and creatives of the world to get the feedback they need to know their idea is ripe for impact.

Belousov–Zhabotinsky Reaction
Most composers were musicians before that and a lot of instruments adhere to scales such as fretted instruments or percussive instruments like the piano.

Using scales gives people a familiar territory in which to compose music and a western audience will already be culturally attuned to those sensibilities.
Went to the shoes to test: Ian Knot is faster and the cord is “relaxed” (less internal stress to contribute towards loosening) rather than twisted.

I’ll try words to describe the Ian Knot: Cross the laces, tuck one under the other, and pull; let go, then pick up a “bunny ear” loop in each hand, one on either side of the pre-knot; with your middle finger, push the out-side of each “ear” through the opposite loop; with thumb and middle finger of each hand, grab the loops simultaneously as they come through; pull tight. Looks like a double knot (two loops, each around the neck of the other) with each free end fed back through, forming the loops and ensuring easy undoing.
