>However it still is dominated by the "haves" vs the "have nots". Proof of stake is awarded to those with the largest stakes, which favors state-sponsored miners and works against decentralization.

where is the difference to mining? To mine you need GPUs and electricity which you can equate to $$$, just like capital you lock up under PoS. it effectively makes no difference.

and everyone earns the same percentages, whales only earn more in absolute terms.
Strictly no. You need "free" zero interest money from the Fed! That's how MOST stock buy-backs are financed - it going onto the balance sheet as debt which someday will bite them.

This is the shitty side of many modern CEOs. But the legal and tax incentives combined with Wall Street demands create the environment for it.
Yeah, you're right, I guess I've only seen ~5x at proper startups, but when you multiply that by the number of executives, it's still an egregious impediment to the product
My understanding is that the first amendment prohibits federal and state governments (and therefore public schools) from placing restrictions on free speech in the first place. Therefore, parts of the code of conduct are unconstitutional and so unenforceable.
by the same token you could say it's also fundamentally infeasible for Rust to be code safe, otherwise they would not have unsafe code... so in the end it's an article that says nothing interesting at all
Show HN: Smarter code search and intelligence for engineering teams
You can, but the above poster and original poster seem to be saying that fallback to passcode is a failure in it self.
Apple does no such thing in case of search in Safari, so why are you making this stuff up?

Not too mention Apple puts the same kind of requirements on developers and apps on their own tvOS platform - including UX behaviours and format support.

I might be misunderstanding you, and it’s far from ideal, but you can still use your passcode - I do it all the time.
Hi there! Ian here, one of the co-founders. Nick (the other co-founder) and I are lifelong developers and we’ve been through every frustration imaginable when it comes to understanding a codebase and making sense of what we’re reading so that we can solve a problem or when getting up to speed when we start a new job. We also know that Dev Tools haven’t really been getting as much love as they should so we set out to make something that as engineers we know solves those pain points and provide better tooling with techniques from parts of industry that don’t necessarily filter back to general developers but are incredibly useful. I’m of course speaking of techniques from compiler development and some from cybersecurity in things like reverse engineering and static analysis.

Everyone knows about go to def and basic symbol information, that’s kind of a commodity in the tools we use now, but there’s so much more that simply hasn’t been explored yet and we’re aiming to bring those techniques mainstream to help engineers in general.

Whize makes code intelligence and knowledge base search tools that help engineers to write code better and faster by providing actionable static analysis results, visual debugging, code generation (in progress), and one-click code references.

We currently support searching over 27k open source code projects on github as well as utilizing our code intelligence and doc features directly on that code without ever cloning a repo or setting up a project from the comfort of VSCode, or our WebApp if you prefer. All of our functionality works on your local projects so you can use them as you’re working on new code or anything indexed with us directly, private or public.

We’re looking to support other development environments in the coming months, but we went with VSCode first because developer surveys suggest it’s the most popular one right now.
And then it's been continued since then for the same reason by every president and Congress on both sides of the aisle? Of course not, even if it started like that, and that's a big if hinging solely on the ramblings of a single discredited bureaucrat.

That motive just cannot explain the last fifty years of the war on drugs. The reality must be much more complex.
A transparent FOI system is vital for good government
That quote is:

"Suppose aliens invade the earth and threaten to obliterate it in a year's time unless human beings can find the Ramsey number for red five and blue five. We could marshal the world's best minds and fastest computers, and within a year we could probably calculate the value. If the aliens demanded the Ramsey number for red six and blue six, however, we would have no choice but to launch a preemptive attack."

Not sure what you mean - distance directly away from an observer correlates with time (things further away look younger due to the finite speed of light), but in general it's just a measure of distance. It's right there in the units - light (speed) years are m/s * s; that is, metres. I'm not aware that astronomers use ly as a unit of time, unless that's changed since I studied it for my undergrad, although that was admittedly some time ago.
Persuasion is mind manipulation. It seems like the intentions of this group are good, but you know what they say about the road to hell. In any case, governments fail because they are founded on corruption, that is, the belief in authority outside of the individual. Which is basically slavery. Such a corrupt system that goes against the universal right to life will always fail.
> In other words, you tacitly demand that the government tell the future and act accordingly.

This is a common excuse about every bad plan after the fact; that the critics are expecting decisionmakers to have been psychic. It scrupulously ignores that the critics were offering the same critique at the time.

It scrupulously ignores anything specific to the problem being discussed. It's the "no one could have known" or the "it's easy to be a backseat driver" defense.

> I think "failure" should be a question of incompetent administration. That is, once a policy is decided, how well or poorly was it carried out?

All people with responsibility agree with you, which is why they carefully avoid formulating a policy.
You can. I do it multiple times per week. It adds an extra 10s to “being ready for the register” but it’s hardly worth complaining about in a pandemic.

I think you misunderstood my statement.

What I mean is the USA and China force their laws on smaller trading partners. When the USA tells Vietnam that they need to pass certain IP laws as terms of a trade deal, VN passes those laws.

To a degree, this also happens with larger partners, such as Germany, but it's really noticeable with the smaller ones.
it's also important to note that stakers can not withdraw yet. once withdrawal functionality is enabled I expect many more folks to stake their ETH because the uncertainty will be gone.
> I feel like most engineers are pretty good at working remotely (c.f. all of open source).

Most engineers are not on GitHub or any of the other social coding sites, let alone contributing to or managing an open source project. And anyone who is managing an open source project can tell you how much work it is to help other engineers contribute constructively.

Your idea of a managerial role doesn't seem to leave much room for technical or team leads, only "product management". Sometimes your role is to hire/motivate/unblock - and sometimes the motivational role is make sure someone spends those three hours writing unit tests everyone agreed were important even though no one wants to.
Sprint Qualifying to debut at three F1 Grands Prix in 2021
Very nice app indeed, its offline maps allow me to just leave the phone at home when riding my bike.

Also some very useful features like backing up the on-watch settings, allowing you to restore them if you ever have to reset your Watch.
I hope future generations will be at least solar-hybrid if not entirely solar. It's not like the thing has any shade to contend with, after all, and most of its loads are electrical.
> Unlock with Watch apparently does not work with Apple Pay.

I find Apple Pay so much easier to use with the Watch that I never can remember how to use it on the phone.
Yeah, batteries won’t cut it really - need to store thousands of kWh for winter. I’ll have to look into the terms some more - afaik nothing is finalised yet, awaiting change in law. Thanks for input!
I just fixed it by turning off FaceID.

Apple reached phone perfection with the iPhone 4; they reached access perfection with touchID. Things have gotten worse since then.
It’s unlikely there was collusion around app store commissions. It’s more likely a case of “how much can we get away with charging?” and existing competitors in market providing a proof point of what is palatable to developers. That is a somewhat stable state until someone like Epic comes in with a lot of money and a desire to quickly capture market share with a lower commission.
> per capita numbers are marginally less

It's not marginal at all, but a huge difference. Rich inner suburbs ("Democrat suburbs" you might say) are the worst polluters per capita, and urban and some truly rural areas the best, but the truly rural case absolutely doesn't scale.

I'm sorry, but your boats-the-shed fantasyland is slowly killing us all.

Guile supports custom readers through read-hash-extend [1]: this lets you associate specific syntax with a custom reader, triggered by a '#' character. For example, this is how comments are implemented with #! ...multiline comment... !#: the first "#!" triggers a custom reader which reads until the termination.

libfive installs custom readers for #0, #1, #2, and so on, which all do the same thing: store the syntax position (row/column/span), then create a free variable with a particular id that's associated with that syntax position.

When pushing and pulling on the surface, it's solving for free variables values that put the surface at your mouse cursor's position. Then, it can splice those values back into the original script using the row/column/span data from before.

Python does the same thing with a magic `var(...)` function, which is used as the target for an AST transform here:

> YouTube music is a different product from YouTube itself.

Sorta not really. On Roku, Google is deprecating all of the other means of playing content (e.g. Google Play Video) and funneling everyone to the Youtube App now for everything.
> It is a long-term play for profit.

Is it? I'd expect most of it is driven by actually valuing the charity. If we frame even the charitable stuff as profit-driven, it just reinforces the idea of some duty towards profit.
One of the least-discoverable features in the phone. One of many such features, sadly.
Thank you for actually helping!
I agree, it does seem to make sense... and this isn't just with YT, it also affects YT TV. On my Smart TV, with a Roku remote, I don't want to switch out of the current app (YTTV in my case).
There are a couple of things that allow me to get past these bottlenecks. First, let it go. Then do something else, get outside, have a cup of something. Instead of thinking about "3 hours of writing unit tests", start with "write just 1 unit test". Then get back and try to find something interesting about this depressing piece of work you need to do. Just one tiny thing, like "how fast does it take to run a test" or "how does this utility method is implemented". I do this a lot - trick myself into something small, and then let myself go with the same work, just like reading "one post in HN" leads me to write this response LOL.

In my case, it is just a pure absence of motivation and interest that causes the attention to go somewhere else. And this is all right, as it's a signal that the shit I do is not worth it. I have to make it worth it in some way, worth it for my soul sake.
Manual weeding is really not a job people want to do in the developed world. IMO it's the worst part of farming in that requires working at ground level all day and needs to be done every couple weeks. It will wipe you out physically. Typically people who have to do this for long and have any other job available to them will switch even for a pay cut, but farmers can't really offer much because food production is low-margin (and in the USA they are competing with farms that use herbicides).
Under display fingerprint scanners suck. I have a Galaxy S20 for work and it rarely works. I also have a A71 5G which is even worse.

With winter dry skin (and/or light abrasion from woodworking projects), I can't even unlock the phones at all.
Shouldn't it be up to Roku, not Google, to decide how their product experience works?

LGs TVs have a prominent omni search button. If you’re in the YT app and use the omnisearch it searches across all content services you have connected. It’s an amazingly useful feature and makes the TV experience actually feel integrated. First time I’ve been happy with a “smart” TV experience.

I’d say it’s a fair comparison.
Platforms vs. Marketplaces
As long as you can watch something on the web, you can always cast it, right? (I find Chromecast is an underappreciated device from Google. I basically never touch any of the smartTV features on my TV. I do everything from phone, tablet, or Chromebook.)
not sure how much things have changed. A couple years back i had a few brand new, expensive led bulbs. I expect my light bulbs to last at least a couple of years. There supposedly long life light bulbs began flickering after just a few months.
I would argue that under both proof of stake and mining your income is always directly proportional to the amount invested, either in equipment or stake.

The main difference is the minimum barrier to entry, however under PoS you have access to various pooling services, which simulate consumer scale mining (complete with the associated inefficiency).
> Difference between Go and Java, Java drives developers to write bloated code.

Nothing in Java drives you to write bloated code with tons of classes. javac will not throw an error if you write proper simple code.

If you chose, or were forced by bad team culture somewhere, to write 20 classes for what should've been one function, that's a people problem. Java didn't make you do it.

That team who loves complex overengineering so much will do the same thing in whatever language they switch to someday.
There is literally no difference between sitting in a zoom call all day with your coworkers while you code and sitting in a cubicle with them. Sometimes HN is so boomer brain
There is a misplaced sentence. "Most of these things are 100% public domain and source code is available for them as much as possible." should belong at the end of the previous paragraph before the one that it is written on.
Yes. Also don't forget 50% of the medium term future yield of the earth is taken up by short term over-exploitation of topsoil, 50% of the medium term water supply is taken up by artificial irrigation of the monoculture, and 50% of the water-holding capacity of the land is removed owing to reduced tree cover. But don't worry, the farmer made 50% more and his children are 50% more likely to not be farmers and to buy 50% worse produce from 50% fewer centralised food megacorps with 50% higher profits owned by 50% less shareholders, under 50% less regulation!
Why? Some women, especially in certain cultures, do indeed have beards. It takes nothing away from people who won't use that emoji, but it lets them be represented while giving others another optional emoji to use.
I’m not sure I could adequately explain this to a 5 year old, but it really just comes down to the perception of supply and actual demand.

I say perception because even though a “random person off the street” might be able to successfully run a Fortune 500 company, most of them wouldn’t and the boards/shareholders won’t tolerate the risk of allowing untested leaders to run massive companies. On the flip side, just because someone has experience and a good track record of results doesn’t mean they will succeed in future endeavors—a good example of this is that Pepsi guy (John Sculley) who took the helm at Apple and drove its business to the brink of death, this despite being paid in 1987 the highest salary of any company in the valley.
Can someone better inform me how POS actually works? Can you actually have proof of any arbitrary (but consistent) action?

It would require an advance in theory. When I took a graph theory course it fascinated me how the Ramsey theory problem goes from paper and pencil complexity to beyond computing power in two steps (R(3,3) = 6, R(4,4) = 18, R(5,5)=(43..48?)).

I once spent some time calculating the effort (but don't have the results handy), a rough number for a naive approach to exhaustively searching the problem space would involve something like 10^200 graphs.
Ah yes, sorry - I noticed that and meant to take it out but evidently just imagined that I did!
- This is about choice. Namely, expanding choice. So if that is your comfort level, keep doing what you're doing.

It really is that good. Out of the bunch of apps on my iPhone Telegram is the one that is fast, effectively using cellular data, feature packed. The Unigram client on Windows 10 is also neat.
Latest iPhone SE and iPad Air are both TouchID only - and wonderful.
Roku makes insane demands of its video providers. So does every large platform company. Google is awful too, but this is like the pot calling the kettle black.
> What exactly is the reason/rationale that it has to fail on facial recognition first before proceeding to use passcode?

C O U R A G E

Joke aside, it seems that Face ID was a tremendous technical effort so you could have instant access to your phone. Besides unlocking, there's no other serious application (memojis aside). The fingerprint reader was probably removed just to prop acceptance of Face ID. Also, Face ID is less secure. If you're detained or mugged, just looking at your phone will unlock it before you can react and look away.

IMO, the 3D scanner should be on the other side, enhancing your pictures with 3D depth.

The whole spat started because Amazon removed Chromecast devices from their retail platform.

I Built a Blog Engine with Vue, Django and Tailwind
This is a modest attempt to build the first version of a blog from scratch, without relying on external SaaS like Medium or Disqus.
It's not a step-by-step tutorial but rather a list of questions I asked myself and decisions I took along the journey.
In ~20 years of developing in Java, I've never used Spring. It's certainly not a de-facto part of the langauge.
You start with a riff on the naturalistic fallacy "nature did it so it must be the right way" and conclude that all efforts to create AI not informed by neurobiology are doomed to fail (as doomed to fail as randomly assembling components and hoping for a jet as the output)?

Further, I'd wager more than half of AI researchers are at least surface-level familiar with brain science, not (as you claim) less than 1 in a million (are there even a million AI researchers?). There's significant work between computational neuroscience, mathematics, philosophy, computer science, etc, etc in the field.

Many smart people are giving it their best effort to understand different pieces of the puzzle from many different viewpoints and angles; FAANG corporations might be among the most visible, but their AI is necessarily profit driven and close to the ground, relevant to currently tractable problems (amenable to 'mere statistics').

And in fact, slavishly copying nature is something which has long been on the AI back-burner, but we're on the order of at least a decade from being able to create a computer system with enough transistors to do so.

Not sure what else to say, really.
They also pay EU (and many other) wage taxes since those are all paid in the location of employment. This cash discussion is all about corporate tax.
Sending an email is a different interaction than doing voice search.

Sending an email is an explicit intent - open whatever app I use to send emails.

Searching is an open query - find the most relevant results. What results are most relevant is subjective, hence why you would give the user a choice for what results to favor.

The separation between Youtube and Youtube Music is a technical minutia, they're both Youtube just different apps. If you want a technical solution, Roku should probably implement a search API such that doing a voice search would let the Roku query whatever app is currently running for results. Then any app can provide more relevant, context aware results.

Because in the standard lock screen you see notifications. iOS switches from the lock screen to the numpad when it detects a facemask, or after a timeout from the unlock gesture (swipe up).
`fetch (url) // synchronous`

`go fetch(url) // asynchronous`

This is not something you can readily abstract over. That depends on whether language is compiled vs interpreted, has a runtime or not, is scheduled or not, stack model, threading model, ownership model, and so on. `go myfunc()` implies something to dispatch, execute and reap that function and its metadata, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution.

You can design a language that has this feature, but it's not without tradeoffs, and it's certainly not something you could just introduce to a language unless it already lends itself to it.
The Rise of Dual-Class Stock IPOs
Sounded like it was mainly reliant on some pre-selected whitelist of approved sources. Of course that raises the question of who approved those sources, and what were their motivations?
I am guessing the rationale is that Face ID is supposed to be so good that you won't need to use your passcode. In regular use, Face ID unlocks my phone the moment I lift it; showing an "enter passcode" option button would be redundant because it's already unlocked. Obviously this falls apart with masks.
Last I checked YouTube requires VP9 support for HDR. Why is requesting that new devices support the format to avoid fragmentation a problem?

Apple also demands certain format support for their video streams to work (not to mention a browser).
Ah, indeed. I always thought this was not possible due to silly security requirements. Could’ve sworn this wasn’t possible back on my old iPhone 7.
