I struggle with this as well. I came across this on page 13 after opening 14 tabs on 14 different topics, so I wouldn't really trust my advice on this topic.

One thing I'm going to try is to switch back and forth between project mode and explore mode for fixed lengths of time. I'm not sure about the right lengths yet but the idea would be to have two weeks (or a month or whatever) where I let myself explore aimlessly, and then two weeks where I work on a specific personal project with specific goals.

I think I'd feel better for having accomplished some of the things I'd like to do, while hopefully not fighting too much against my own personality. Ideally I'll get into a good cycle where I am able to take the things I discover in explore mode and put them into practice in project mode. No idea if this will work though.

You could replace Bitcoin with USD and say the same thing. Any currency has value because those in power insist on taxes being paid in that currency, otherwise it is just what people believe it to be. Read "When Money Dies", excellent book about how a government can ruin the trust that is the basis of fiat.
George Hotz (of all people) had a great take on e-scooter as a business model.

If the startup/company puts up all the capital, has marginal costs and competition, there is never any potential for "takeoff." Impossible trifecta. That's why he thinks waymo is doomed. Uber showed that even a handful of competitors can discipline prices enough to make profiting hard. uber can at least scale without buying cars, but competition means tight margins.

It's ironic that SV-Startup world accidentally created a Perfectly Normal Business Sector and found it bemusing. It's emblemagic of current private sector conundrums. Inasmuch as price competition exists, the value of the S&P 500 approaches zero. That's chalkboard extremism, obviously... OTOH, while "Monopoly Requirement" is too strong a descriptor but "moat" is not strong enough.

The other cons (ugly/dangerous/etc.) are emblematic of current public sector conundrums. To scale scooters/biking, we need a proficient public sector. Regulation for basic safety that isn't regulating to death, or regulating badly. Also, how are we an advanced global civilization but can't adapt our cityscapes any better than literal iron age brutes. As we advance in some fields, the fields that do not advance become blatant. Our forebears dug canals with sticks, and often did a very impressive job. We can't 100X digging with sticks?
It certainly does have unique characteristics. The question for speculators is whether those characteristics imply a high future price, and on what time scale. There is ample data to make many principled inferences on these points. The question for adopters is whether those characteristics facilitate their intended application, and this will often be decided independently of market clearing prices, on technical and physical characteristics.
> A wider question is why no one asked why so many people with the same job were being charged and convicted/pleading guilty

Indeed. You would hope at some point someone would ask why so many have "stolen" money, but yet the actual money has never been located in any account, almost as if the money just disappeared, or never existed in the first place. Hmmm.

Very true. Either way, I didn't feel taken advantage of. He truly was special, and I'm incredibly happy I got to spend some time with him.
What a stupid article.
I think that's fair. There were definitely purges of Turkish and other European Muslims at the time, and they should be acknowledged. On a related note, I have a friend who is Serbian and he claims there were Bosnian atrocities against Serbs during the civil war that nobody hears about.

Still, I would point out that, just as in the Bosnian war, the scale of atrocities was a lot worse on the side that is more remembered. Over a million Armenians and other minorities were systematically raped, murdered, and purged at the behest of Ottoman authorities. It's unclear to me why Turkey does not want to acknowledge this. You can still appreciate your country while recognizing that people in the past did some pretty bad things. The world is a complicated place.
This is another reason why I like cryptocurrency, specifically bitcoin. These shenanigans are enabled at the core through the ability to print money via a central bank. The central bank is corrupt, they give money effectively straight to those connected, who use the new money to buy foreign assets as well as extremely complex schemes to loot their country. With a universal money unit that cannot be corrupted, you eliminate a lot of this nonsense.
It is annoying how people use worlds like "bubble" and "ponzi scheme" interchangeably. Bitcoin may be a bubble but it is not a ponzi scheme. Taleb losses credibility for confusing the two.

The cheapest gravity storage is capable of holding itself up.

Which is why vertical glaciers are so tempting. Its just ice, you pile it up, in large columns, with a puddle of water beneath. Energy is extracted by warming the water and taking part of the pressure to a turbine.

Energy is added by pumping and freezing water on top, while the extracted heat is stored in a side tank for later usage.
Insulation against heat prevents energy loss for longer times.
Four T-beams hold up the freezing machinery on top.
Storage grows with demand.

> I mean, think about it for a second: while you cannot get a compiler out of the door withot a parser, you can indeed leave all the fancy optimization features out, don't you? And if you want to get a MVP out of the door, do you focus your effort in developing optional features or the basic, critical part that ensures that your language exists?

Exactly: an MVP. For an MVP the parser may indeed be "the single most important feature of building a programming language.". But even then it's almost definitely isn't.

The moment you "leave out fancy optimisation fetures" your language becomes at most mediocre.

Because between parsing (which is trivial) and "fancy optimisation features" (which come very late in a compiler life) there are a million things that are significantly more important than parsing:

- how do you do typing?

- how do you code generation (do you output machine code yourself or use a backend)?

- do you use an intermediate representation?

- what are the actual optimisations on performance (none of which have anything to do with parsing)? As an example, C++'s horrible header system has nothing to do with parsing, but slows compiling by hundreds of orders of magnitude.

- how do you do graceful error recovery and reporting?

- how are lambdas handled? how are scopes handled? memory layouts? GC/ARC/manual memory management? standard lib?

- a million other things

> Actually, you're quite wrong.

It was a hyperbole. Do you even understand how fast 1GB/s is? It roughly 10 to 20 million lines of code [1] Windows 10 is roughly 50 million lines [2]. So, at 1GB/s you can parse the entirety of Windows 10 codebase in under 5 seconds.

Even if your parsing speed is 1000 times slower (3 orders of magnitude slower), you can still parse ~10k lines a second. And I honsetly can't even begin to think how you can parse something this slowly. ANd if you do, it's still not a concern, because the rest comes from outside parsing, for example:

- can yo run parsers in parallel?

- do you need to parse the entirety of your project to begin compilation, or your files/modules are isolated and compiler can work on any of those?

Parsing is trivial.

[1] For example, this SO answer for an unrelated question creates a file with 150 million lines, and the result is 6GB. 150/6 = 25, I went for even lower numbers.

I can tell you that having a multi-branch code management system doesn't make this easier. You will only pay the tax at a different point in time.

In the monorepo you are forced to update things immediately if something brakes. In the multi-branch system things will get unnoticed for a while. Until you have to update dependency A (either due to a bug, security issue or you want a new feature), and then observe that everything around it moved too. Now a lot of investigations start how to update all those changed packages at once without one breaking the other. I experienced several occasions where those conflicts required more than 2 weeks of engineering time to get resolved - and I can also tell you that this isn't a very gratifying task. Try starting a new build which just updates dependency D and then notice 8 hours later than something very very downstream breaks, and you also need to update E, F, but not G.

I actually preferred it multiple times if changes would lead to breakages earlier, so that the work to fix those would be smaller too. So that's the contrarian few.

Overall software maintainence will always take a siginficant amount of time, and managers and teams need to account for that. And similar to oncall duties it also makes a lot of sense to distribute the maintainence chores across the team, so that not a single person has to end up doing the work.

One aspect that seems unacknowledged (maybe it is in the article, I haven't finished it) is weather. I bought an electric scooter and happily used it along with biking last summer. However the moment it turned cold in New York, scootering became significantly less appealing. My hands get really cold; snow, slush and ice increase danger and my friends were less likely to want to come with me.

It's quite noticeable that the cities cited are all relatively warm places. I bet that as scooters expand to colder areas, they'll have a harder time with adoption.

Edit: the article does acknowledge it!

> If nothing else, the day would prove conclusively that scootering is not the best mode of travel in the dead of a New York winter. You can’t put your hands in your pockets while driving or lean into the wind. In a lot of ways, walking that last mile works better, and it’s free.

For your purposes, I think that your choice of PEM is probably the best. As you note, it is logically equivalent to the s-expression (it is typed, not a bag of bytes), and it has the advantage of being a well-known format.

If æsthetic concerns are a higher priority than interoperability (say, for a personal hobby project), then I do recommend folks adopt the format I gave an example of. It has some history behind it, dating back to the 1997–1999 timeframe and the IETF’s SPKI Working Group (e.g. https://theworld.com/~cme/examples.txt) which resulted in RFCs 2692 & 2693, as well as some great drafts (https://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest/Sexp.txt & https://theworld.com/~cme/spki.txt) which never progressed because Reasons™.

I still think that the SPKI project got PKI right. Oh well, what might have been!

“Reset metabolism” sounds like bro science to me. Do you have some form of backup for this concept?

All what it takes is to digitize the whole infrastructure and make transparent all the public spending with details of details of the details all the way down to where the money currently is, all that is including large loans. Public spending? No privacy whatsoever, no hidden transactions nor business trading behind curtains. Oligarchs buy popular support as well, they own televisions themselves to manipulate local politics, but with detailed accounting all that could potentially be stopped. Of course the efforts to implement these would be gargantuan because they would fight back.
I don't see why the HN community has to honor/uphold/tolerate/defend the opinion of a throwaway account posting inaccurate information its own cited source refutes. These alternative viewpoints need to have some level of credibility to them, we should not defend every rando's opinion blindly.

I don't think an "open society" has ever actually existed or is even possible. All freedoms are measured in degrees based on the society. "Open society" likely leads more to vacuums filled by whoever has the best propaganda. George Soros, one of the bigger proponents of Popper, what with his Open Society Foundation inspired by Popper's works, has noted that deceptive modern advertising and propaganda casts doubts on the viability of Popper's vision of an open society[1]. However, Soros is often viewed as a liberal mouthpiece propagandist attempting to suppress conservative viewpoints, and is often the target of misinformation conspiracy theory campaigns himself.

How much tolerance must we show? "The sky is purple"? "2+2=5"? Society must acknowledge these viewpoints? The mere act of acknowledging them as "viable alternative viewpoints" lends them credibility, which only festers more misinformation. It feels like as of late there has been increased pressure by certain groups to recategorize repugnant viewpoints as not being repugnant, but simply "a different perspective, worthy of tolerance and legitimacy".

>The "community" is the actual world we live in.

Wrong. The "community" is a small internet board that you actively have to seek out. It is not the "greater actual world we live in", it's a subset of it, with different sensibilities, culture, etc. No one has to seek out the "greater actual world we live in", that's a main difference.

>A message board isn't isolated from that.

Yes it is, it absolutely is, as proven above.

It's not offensive in 4chan, which is a subset of the "real world". You literally just proved my point again, it's not offensive everywhere "in the greater real world". QED.

My understanding is that cryptographic token systems are properly taken to be lindy on priors, just like central bank currencies, universes, or any finite span process absent model and evidence. It is only on model and evidence that the lindy prior is rationally updated. To make the case that it is not lindy, it suffices to advance a model and calibrate it empirically. The likelihood of the proposal will hinge primarily on the evidence for the model.
