Yes, and everybody attends college in state.

Look, I understand most hacker news readers do banking online, but the notion that banks are limited to a single state requires either that people rarely go out of state or never need to go to a physical branch. Neither is true in 2021. The former (not traveling) is more common than the later (not needing to go to a physical branch).

You seem to be proposing purely online banking. I take it you don't own a home or a car or a business? Most loans still require an in person meeting.
Sure, so eradicating them may be a good idea, but it does not follow that this particular solution is a good idea. Top comments on this story are now very pessimistic about the use of GMO mosquitos to solve this problem.
Signal Is Down
So signal seems down ( see status page https://status.signal.org/ )

But I can't post the link as-is on HN i don't know why :/
The author has some other really interesting projects as well. I encourage you to checkout their GitHub page.
I'll take some of the other side here. I'm married; my wife didn't have strong feelings about getting married (lived in Europe for a while and was comfortable raising a family together unmarried); I wanted to get married earlier than we did.

We have two children together and she wanted to stay home with the kids for a few years but wasn't willing to do that without the framework of a marriage in place. Was 10 years ago and no sign that we're headed for trouble, but the civil and legal framework and what was at stake as a result was helpful to support a choice that we were all fortunate to benefit from all around (with a slight hit to retirement savings account balances).
Even if it was an exact replica, there is, as the french say, a je ne sais quoi about an object crafted lovingly in a manual fashion.

Definition of je ne sais quoi
: something (such as an appealing quality) that cannot be adequately described or expressed.

This sounds like fluff driven by emotion and not reason, but I encourage readers to embrace the lack of reason for some elements of human experience.

We are anything but perfectly rational beings, this is one powerful aspect where efficiency and logic are sacrificed on the alter of subjective experience.
Very interesting idea, and honestly quite scary. I love my flow state, but I do recognize the defensiveness. Not sure I have run into making bad decisions "in the flow" yet, but I could see how it happens.

If true, the bad decisions coupled with defensiveness could be a potentially really toxic combination.

I have no idea what feminists you're dealing with, or under what circumstances, so I'm not going to apologize for them. But I can tell you that you've come across as hostile in this conversation, and it comes as no surprise to me that others have responded to you in a negative way.

(Information somewhat out-of-date, especially on the Android side)

Android's official libraries are often weirdly bad and seemingly incomplete. You'll do a lot of DIY and work-around and looking incredulously at 8-year-old bug reports to which someone submitted a damn patch to fix the bug two years ago, yet they're still sitting open with the last "me too" comment three weeks ago and a bunch of folks begging Google to apply the patch. True story, seen more than once, and you'd be surprised how non-obscure the developer facing functionality has to be when you start running into those.

Once I had to resort to meta programming to change (IIRC) a color of part of a stock Material Design input field, as the implementation had been half-assed by the Android team's interns, is all I can figure. Changing your typeface app-wide used to require (again, IIRC) modifying every single view-related class, or else importing a 3rd-party library (which library existed because obviously that's an insane design). There existed a 3rd party library to shim in the Javascript maps API, because the official Java Google Maps library on Google's own damn OS could only provide an address as one string, not broken up into house number and street and such, while the Javascript one could provide the address elements separately (you can tell where their real priorities are).

Lots of Google's advice about how to handle UI flows or data in one's app is just bad and will make your app brittle while wasting your time, compared to alternatives people who aren't developing the damn thing as their full-time job have come up with.

This was all like 3-4 years ago, not back in the stone ages of 2.x/3.x, or even 4 or 5. 2.x/3.x was a special hell that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

All of the above is relevant to stuff like UI building in Android studio, or your question about whether everyone uses native libs or what have you (you shouldn't, even for basic stuff like HTTP communication, at least as of 3-4 years ago, if you value your time and sanity). If you're not doing something very simple with stock styles, you'll hit some pain, and even then you might. Not insurmountable, obviously, but it's there.

As for AS itself, it's about as heavy as Xcode on system resources. Emulator used to be so slow it was useless, but it's somewhat better now. Still wouldn't develop for Android without an Android device with me 100% of the time, unlike iOS, but they have made big improvements. It probably doesn't crash as much as Xcode. Both are full of arcane bullshit in their interface to keep builds happy, and I actually think Xcode might be a little ahead of AS now that most provisioning difficulties can be auto-fixed. They do have a WYSIWG UI builder but I vaguely recall it being net-harmful last time I tried it, though not completely terrible. Probably useful for some apps. Otherwise it's an IDE and does normal IDE stuff. One "fun" part is that you manage a bunch of Android platform deps through the IDE, separately from AS itself—or you figure out how to do it from the command line while still making the IDE happy, for better repeatability, onboarding, and sanity.
personal anecdote but after trying too hard and feeling actual physical "pain" I came to the conclusion that learning needs a threshold of closure (which feels good), a coarse level conclusion about what was just processed. Piling up unconclusive signals on top of each other results in wounds it seems.
For some reason, KOTH never caught my eye when it was on regularly. Saw it again a few years ago and loved it.
It's probably best to read their whitepaper, as I don't know all the details off the top of my head, but they have a number of ways to prevent gaming the system. Of course, nothing is 100% sure, even Bitcoin can be attacked with enough power. It's about putting in place the economic incentives, such that the game theoretic best approach is to provide value to the network rather than trying to harm it.

So in the case of Chainlink the idea would be that it's much more profitable to be an honest data provider than a dishonest one, and each data source uses a number of independent data providers. If you act dishonestly you will lose out on the value you could have gained by acting honestly and also be penalized in the reputation system.

Yev from Backblaze here! We do it because it's interesting! Initially, since we're pretty transparent, we were hoping that others would join in the fun and share their stats so we'd know how our environment and hard drive stacked up against others - but no one at our scale has really done that yet. We do have a lot of off-the-record confirmation that our experience is somewhat similar to others, which is neat - but we were just trying to be transparent and share something interesting from our infrastructure. A lot of folks jumped on it and found it interesting so we keep it going!

Plus along the way some folks find out about us and sign up for the services we offer (B2 Cloud Storage and Computer Backup) and that's nice too! Plus we also like these conversations and at the end of the day, it's fun!
Your idea may be stellar, but it’s very very unlikely to lead to a PM job. PM is a professional discipline, like engineer, UX designer, etc. Even if they loved your idea in the interview, the hiring manager would probably just steal it and tell you to go screw. Conversely if you could demonstrate in an interview that you were a great PM, you wouldn’t need any amazing business ideas.

Note that a common question in PM interviews is “Pick a popular product and tell us how you’d improve it”; they’re not looking for grand inventors, they’re looking for people who have the aptitude and skill to manage the process of development and optimization of products.

If you truly believe in your idea, and want to get it built, probably best to do an honest assessment of your abilities, figure out who you need to help you, and go for it as a startup. If it’s good and you execute well, someone will buy it.

I don’t intend to be mean or to dissuade you, but most great business ideas address specific problems, and it often helps to know a lot about the domain you’re problem solving in. The fact that you know so little about a key job function within those companies (moreover one you want to take on) should give you some pause, you may want to do more research before moving forward.

My suggestion would be to also look at such material from very different sectors. So much of it is generally applicable that much will overlap, but maybe the bits that don't will offer insight to what you're missing for your niche.

Sure, but that has nothing to do with why I wrote my comment. It's fine for people to spend their leisure time however they want. If you want to focus on a single thing like reading a book, or sit in a room in quiet contemplation, or turn on every electronic in your house, I don't care.

I'm just curious if the latter is really the same as multi-tasking. It's reasonable to question if having a lot of sensory input thrown at you that you are mostly ignoring is the same thing as multi-tasking.
It took me over 15 years in the industry to realize a couple of things. If you're young and reading this then I hope you at least spend a few minutes thinking deeply about it.

1) Any productivity gained over that one-or-two-day session makes very little difference in the big picture. Even a week.

A company/product/feature is never going to live or die on that 30 hours of coding that you managed to squeeze into 48 hours. 99.999% of the time you're doing it to calm people's nerves or make someone (yourself? PM? EM?) look good.

2) My reasons for doing these marathon sessions was a lie.

I told myself that I'm doing it because I love the product, love the work, love this, love that. I'm an artisan, I told myself. A professional. Work is my life. Isn't it the same for those Japanese knife maker guys? I'm like those guys. I live this work.

The real reason was fear. Fear of not being the best, fear of not being successful, etc. I felt like I didn't have a place among MIT/Stanford grads. So I compensated with brute force.

--

It didn't help that I was rewarded with more money, more respect, and more decision making power. I was even rewarded with more knowledge than everyone else -- you learn a lot working 12 hours a day. And if you screw something up you have plenty of time to fix it.

Wrote a nasty bug? No problem, ship a fix at 11:30pm and the impact is minimal. People are much less likely to criticize you if you're the person sitting up at 11:30pm shipping to production. Clearly your heart is in the right place, right?

The "trick", I found, was to work for people who NEVER EVER demanded more than 7 hours a day from me BUT also appreciated that I'd go well above and beyond expectations. Now that I think about it, it reminds of drug dealing (or the little I know about it from when I was a teen).

I feel fortunate that I was able to disassociate my fear of failure from my genuine love for the work. These days I'm able to be very productive and lead a relatively healthy life but it took waaaay too long for me to figure out how.
Is this an april fool's joke? Being fat is obviously worse for health outcomes.
A backup camera does not make a car smart.
Bluntly, pornography and masturbation can lead to desensitization and difficulty in "real" sex with a partner. A lot of the r/nofap people have discussed this extensively. I know of no studies to cite, but there's a tone of anecdotal evidence available on that particular subreddit.
Very YMMV in my experience.

Coming from an iOS codebase that had eschewed XIBs and storyboards entirely in favor of pure code views, I was disappointed to find that it's very difficult to write pure code UIs with Android Framework. Everything is geared toward XML layouts with many things being impossible or impractical to access from Java/Kotlin, which is extremely frustrating.

And in place of code signing troubles, Android brings new challenges with things dependency management and ProGuard silently snipping out big pieces of required code if you don't tell it exactly what to do.
State of Electron frameworks [May 2021]
Nearly every system in nature has some slack baked into it.

Take the human brain, pound for pound it packs more neurons in it than any other animals brain on the planet. 20% of the glucose we burn goes to power the brain, in children it’s closer to 50-60%. Yet even though nature powers this incredibly powerful computer, 24/7, we use it’s power, maybe once in a while if we’re lucky. We can’t remember more than 6-7 things at a time, we can never fire every single part at once. You might assume this is a defect, it’s not, it’s a feature.

The brain has so much capacity, they have found people that can literally remember every single thing that happens to them their whole lives. Guess what happened to them? They had no slack for reasoning in abstraction, the things that make us human, they could detail every aspect of a story but couldn’t summarize it, and the list goes on and on. What would happen if we ran our chips at 100% capacity 24/7?

We assume we need to do more, we need more information, we need to squeeze every ounce out of our life and work but in reality this has the opposite of the intended effects.

This article is great because it puts it all into perspective. I recently wrote about the same topic but it’s not as good as this article but still if you are interested:

They aren't wrong but they are basically just digging up the Tandem architecture and adapting it to the current RoCE/FCoE enhanced ethernet we have today.

Ironically that is where most of our newer interconnects have their heritage. PCI-e is descendant from Infiniband which in turn is decendant from ServerNet which was developed at Tandem as the internal interconnect for their NonStop systems for the very usecases this paper describes.

i.e the very ordered networking this relies on and the architectures it enables were invented ~25 years ago.

Unfortunately the reality of today is we don't build data centres and especially not for very highly available systems. Instead we pay that latency penalty to build geographically redundant systems using cheap rented virtual hardware from 3rd parties.

This is in part because of how the always on nature of the internet changed the availability requirements for most software (which is now delivered as SaaS) from business hours in 1 timezone to always-on everywhere in the world. It's no longer an excuse for a business critical application to be down because "DC lost power" or some variation of that.

I'm old and grumpy though so whatever, everything old becomes new again eventually.
are you really a billionaire if the asset you have is only evaluated in another currency?
> The first aspect of our design is network serialization,
where all OUM packets for a particular group are routed
through a sequencer on the common path.

This solution actually just shunts the problem to a different layer. To be robust to sequencer failure and rollover, you will need to rely on an inner consensus protocol to choose sequencers. Which is basically how Multi-Paxos, Raft, etc work--you use the costly consensus protocol to pick a leader, and thereafter simply rely on the leader to serialize and ensure consistency.

It seems like an interesting paper w/ a novel engineering model and useful proofs. But from an abstract algorithmic perspective it doesn't actually offer anything new, AFAICT. There are an infinite number of ways to shuffle things around to minimize the components and data paths directly reliant on the consensus protocol. None obviate the need for an underlying consensus protocol, absent problems where invariants can be maintained independently.
cheers both. I thought these were from the 20s.
I think you're taking the set theory a bit too far...

Depends on the fish. The tails of many fish are great fried. It's just another crunchy item. Salmon skin is also tasty as long as you get it crisp when cooking. Mahi skin is kind of thick and chewy so I usually throw that away (or into the marsh for the local critters to eat). Most of the bass type fish skins are also tasty.

Heads are harder to deal with unless you want to make your own stock.

I grew up on the coast, catching, cleaning, and cooking my own fish all the time. I know not everyone has those experiences.
Thinking your depressed friend is a bother to yourself has told me that I'm very blessed you and I are not friends.

I made this sim in JS to help out newcomers to the world of model rocket thrust vector control! It's got boatloads of features you won't find in other sims like servo angular rate limits, custom PID loop intervals, simulated wind torques and even a positional PID feature.

This helps you find the optimal PID gains for your system so you can fly your rocket with more confidence.

Wait lol, why is Bitcoin involved at all? You literally have to deposit your cash into their un-insured custodial account, then they move it around internally. They could just move database entries around on their own servers. They just need to keep a liquidity pool on both sides for the (likely very few) international transfers that happen, and settle up on a rolling basis with a $20 wire transfer. No bitcoin necessary lol.

I mean they don't even allow anyone else to connect to their lightning nodes.

[edit] oh I get it, they don't want to register as money transmitters haha, it's just to avoid regulation.
