I design pressure vessel for a living. At the pressures required for hydrogen, required vessel wall thickness goes up really fast as diameter increases. I commented elsewhere about the weights required for a tractor trailer - to carry the volume required and maintain the same refill range, you'd need an 11,000kg cylinder to contain the hydrogen.
I think you can't revoke your citizenship of a country, but the country probably can still choose to exile you. I imagine it's not done commonly though.

What does gasoline storage have to do with manufacturing?
I definitely meant simple. To the average newcomer to Javascript, what they're familiar with is server side rendering. An HTML page is sent from the server, the markup is rendered, and bam - a page.

Now, go tell this newcomer that you don't actually need a server to serve multiple web pages, it can just serve one! Client side rendering with a client side router is a pretty far departure from what even experienced programmers know about the world.

Now, go tell this newcomer that you can absolutely still render components from the server without redrawing the whole page. They'll enjoy this until they run into the limits and constructs of SSR. Again, a pretty far departure from send a whole page.

Now, go tell this newcomer you can do both at once, and that often it's beneficial to do so. You have taken what was a very simple task and made it quite complex.
this was the debate circa 2014/2015. Should the bitcoin network consist of many low fee transactions or few high fee transactions. Right now the incentive for miners to secure the network is produced with the block reward, but when the block reward runs out this incentive will be from fees alone. In order to provide miners with the same revenue as today when the block reward runs out, the average fee per tx will need to be close to $200. If you increase the block size to 100mb and use block compression tech like xthinner to make blocks essentially 1mb (like today), then the average fee needed is only $2.
No, the comment in the blog post is not what I'm suggesting. All Apple needs is to do is record the timestamps that iPhones received the AirTag beacon. When an Apple ID queries for keys, if Apple finds more matching key reports received in any 15 minute period than is plausible, then either the Apple ID is associated with more than the 16 permitted AirTags, or some of them are using more than one key per 15 minutes. So Apple can definitely detect this unless you either use multiple Apple IDs, or you limit to around 16 bits per 15 minutes.
The phrase digital native is silly, like petrol positive to describe the 1900+’ers. Being exposed to apps won’t make the next generation supperior. But having parents from the previous generation surely will without any doubt at all.
Right, but 90 wpm would be faster than most people could ever do on a conventional keyboard; it's a whole other level.
bail outs are undermining the "invisible hand" . Bad decisions dont get penalized, so actors start evaluating decisions diferently.
Coming from C++, the main thing I am missing in C is generic data structures. Having to resort to macros to implement generic vectors (https://github.com/eduard-permyakov/permafrost-engine/blob/m...) I find cumbersome to say the least. It is also hard to beat the performance of the STL data structures when implementing something seemingly straightforward like a vector type.

I have taught kids for 20 years.

Young people (on average) know less about computing than they did.

The author of this article says "floppy disks, or 'the save icon' as the young kids would recognize it" - except that they often wouldn't. Kids don't have any experience of saving and loading files.

Once you start making voting conditional on being part of a certain class then the then people in power will start making sure that the people who disagree with them end up in the class that isn't allowed to vote.
It's perspective. Young people have little perspective, by definition. They can't predict how things will play out, or what the consequences of various actions will be on an emotional level.

You can try to gain perspective by doing things like reading realistic novels or realism-based historical studies (as opposed to the morality tales so in vogue today). I think this type of vicarious emotional absorption is the best that young people can do if they are actively trying to improve their perspective. But then you are at the mercy of how accurately the author or historian is portraying life -- older people can detect "false notes" more easily, and I see many false notes when I watch media or listen to music, some so egregiously false as to classify those works as deception. Then you can get into a situation where your emotional depth is getting worse with time because you are learning things vicariously that aren't accurately describing how life works.

But most people will eventually come to have enough authentic emotional experiences as to be able to gain some depth, e.g. perspective, even if they have consumed a lot of false vicarious experiences. In fact, those authentic experience might be incredibly jarring. I've heard that Ruskin had lots of sexual issues in his life because he was trained to work with sculptures of naked women with no pubic hair or realistic features, and was shocked when he saw an actual (non-idealized) nude woman. He may never have managed to purge himself of the false notes he absorbed as a young art student.

When a brand new CS student who has never written a program, or has only written a handful of exercises, are thrown into a large codebase, you expect them to make poor decisions. That's why their work is supervised. Not because they lack intelligence, but because they lack perspective. They are not thinking of how X will be maintained over time, or the consequences of creating some dependencies, etc. Over time, they acquire that perspective and make better decisions, at which point they need less supervision and can eventually supervise others.

So it is with everything that requires the exercise of judgement, whether writing code or handling your emotions or finances, or relationships. It takes time to acquire sufficient perspective to exercise good judgement. This is why historically nations had committees of elders who could block laws deemed reckless, and why traditionally young people were not allowed to vote and only gradually were entrusted with privileges that required the exercise of judgement such as signing contracts.
But that's not happening, as I'm able to select text on iOS Safari and have it give me the copy/paste options above it. If the text wasn't available, it would also completely break any kind of screen reader / accessibility feature so something has to be supporting this at a native-browser level.
It's probably that older people growing up with computers needed to do something with them (could not just stream twitch) and hence when you had a computer, then you was what today would be called a power user.

Today, just millions of normal people use computers, tablets, phones, appliances every day and they get along fine - but they are not power users, since you can spend your time on the computer with almost zero knowledge about it.

A concrete example would be that it's totally fine today to not know, what a file or folder is - because all you see is a feed or an album.
What is the threat model for fuel theft? Weaponizing uranium requires enrichment well above even what maritime reactors use. Note that the difference between 90% enrichment and 99.9% enrichment isn't a factor of 1.1 difference, it's a two-order of magnitude difference - the remaining impurities need to be reduced by a factor of 100, each of those extra nines is another order of magnitude. And even if fuel does get enriched, it requires extensive nuclear physics research and engineering effort to produce a fission device. The only groups proven to be capable of this are state actors, which can set up their own enrichment facilities and have no real reason to steal uranium.

An alternative threat model is not producing a bomb, but dumping radioactive waste in a populated area. While damaging, radiation is a relatively slow killer save for the most intense doses. The amount of damage that it would be able to inflict is minimal relative to the amount of effort requires to break into a nuclear facility and exfiltrate fuel. The question that should be asked is, does this present a larger potential for harm as compared to the same amount of effort put into conventional means of destruction (bombing buildings, shooting up crowded areas)?
If you're a digital nomad, then there probably isn't a best place or else maybe you would just plant yourself there and no longer be a digital nomad.
Very interesting! Can you elaborate on "B) I am 100% wrong when something unpleasant happens to me"? Not sure what you mean by this exactly.
Jamming may be a Federal offence (it is illegal in pretty much every country) but nevertheless jammers can be picked up for not much money, and are used widely by truckers, OCGs (avoiding surveillance, hijacking or warehouse theft, kidnapping, and especially stealing cars), even taxi drivers and couriers (and these guys are the ones using el cheapo jammers which cause lots of interference.)

People facing serious surveillance threats (like law enforcement or OCGs) will have to start scanning and mapping BTLE now, which is a serious pain.

The real advantage is ubiquity and deniability. I'd like to see Apple provide a way for police to identify the iCloud account owner, and other iCloud devices, for a suspect AirTag. This would significantly raise the bar for effort required for covert use. Still allows controlling boyfriends a great tracking technique though.

Why many low fee transactions were not chosen?
Which is reasonable. I’m making it explicit for the sake of the perplexed.

I’ve found myself previously asking, “how do I learn to estimate?” Only to hear, “by experience”. It left me thinking for many years that I couldn’t also learn by having conversations about people’s experiences.
Off the top -- things that make Replit better make Apps better:

- more modalities: you can make CLI apps, web apps, even native apps (like PyGame)

- more language support

- more complete platform: auth, db, etc

- bigger community

On Apps more specifically, the hashtag, trending, and the general exploration UX aspect is going to be huge for communal creativity.

I think the problem is most modern browsers are a pile of open-source libraries at the bottom, any of which may use architecture-specific and/or compiler-specific native code. Also different systems have slightly different toolchains, for instance, compiling BSD on Linux can't be done because Linux GCC can't handle the divergent BSD GCC makefiles. D'oh! Wonder how that happened, surely they'll fix it soon...

Don't forget to tell the kids to get off your lawn after you're done shaking your fist at that cloud.

I find it pretty difficult to believe that, in the age of universal instant access to technology information at every level of abstraction, "kids these days" are somehow less knowledgeable about computers than they were in the author's glory days of, presumably, the early-to-mid 80's - "I grew up with the 286, 386, 486 and all the other x86’es."

If I had to, I'd bet that just as many (or just as few, depending on your perspective) "kids" get their hands dirty (as it were) with the guts of computing as ever have - and having written this out, my assertion sounds absurdly conservative. How is it possible that more kids don't know more?

They know less about desktop computing.
My old dayjob was photorealistic architectural renderings.

The point is GTAV, which was/is exemplar for game engine graphics, and even current gen RTX game engine rendering all look "bad" due to constraints and budgets of real time rendering. Bad in the sense that they're necessarily rudimentary - actual photo realism requires many layers of expensive details. This technique fills in many of those kind of details. The improvement in photo realism demonstrated here is significant and a huge leap in terms of image quality.

That's still not what "digital natives" means. Yes, sure, there's millenial nerds like myself that had to actually know a bit about computers to use them. That's not the point.

Digital natives were born after the inception of the internet. If they don't want to use it to learn about computers, or hobbies, or ancient history, that's their prerogative. But I bet the percent of young folks enriching their minds is about the same nowadays as back then. But now, they are outnumbered by general users. No, you don't get 1337 skillzors by osmosis, that's not the point of Digital Natives. The point is they were born with greater intellectual opportunities than any prior generation.

I'm poorly placed to describe it in detail, having only ever been an observer on a handful of occasions, but much of what you're describing exists today in not-even-particularly-fancy restaurants in Shanghai (and presumably elsewhere), enabled by QR codes and wechat voodoo. Think "scan code on menu to order/pay". It seemed like a very efficient system, and I'm sure you're right that the concept will take off outside China when someone builds a sufficiently it-just-werks solution (that hopefully isn't plugged into a massive method of social control). It's just too powerful of an idea space to go ignored forever.
I applied for a loan a year ago, didn't opt out got denied, and wondered why. Then I applied again ~4 months ago, opted out of automated decision making, and the subject access request showed the conversation.
Nobody seemed to address my concern that most waiters, don't really care too much about their job or the quality of their work. We start paying high wages to waiters, it's going to show up in the bill. The restaurant already run at really low margins (pre covid), so paying waiters a signing bonus isn't really a long-term solution to increasing profit margins.

If a restaurant can't find waiters, because of high demand. Then the market will dictate the next move. I noticed a lot of armchair economists on this site, but times have changed. Maybe the ideas of order apps and Covid are going make ideas like:

> Nolan Bushnell, the former founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese, launched a restaurant chain in 2000 called uWink

a little more popular. When the costs of goods gets to expensive the market will adjust accordingly. Maybe getting rid of waiters or changing the business model of restaurants will be an unintended results of high demand for employees.
If you think about how much your life will change depending on who is the elected representative as a member of the middle class the answer may very reasonably be 'a small amount'.

This very small change is something an informed person can reason about. Unless there are massive sweeping new laws coming that target you your life won't be noticeably different. It's not something that helps to motivate voting in every election though even if long term it's a good idea to always vote (over many many decades small changes add up).

On the other hand those that think politics will completely change their lives depending on who is elected are generally misguided and unrealistic. These are the people who are the most motivated. They will storm the capital to stop the other side getting into power because they think their lives will be completely changed under the new leadership. It's not a realistic viewpoint. The moderate that believes that each election brings small changes at a time is probably closer to the truth but understandably less motivated.
This is a great way to put it. If you look at settlement times 3tps is great. If you’re actively transacting as a consumer then that won’t cut it.
Hey, I don't expect this to get read, but I wanted to respond. It's important to understand what we're working with here.

The reality is that businesses don't just pay people because they need the money to support themselves. They don't see underpaying employees as a "problem", not necessarily at least.

So they're not carefully accounting for their employees personal needs so they can provide sufficient pay. That's probably not going to change, at least not much. There's other things that can change.

OP:
> @employers of HN: Compare your wages with the cost of living in the location you expect your employers to be. Ensure that their rent plus fixed expenses is at most a third of their wage, and ensure that they need to work at most 40 hours a week to earn that. If you do not meet that standard, you are underpaying your employees

> That sounds all nice but why would they do that when they can find people who accept to work longer for less?

> Because not everyone thinks like Gordon Gecko.

Simply reducing the players to cartoon characters that think greed is good doesn't help the problem. I'm not defending our current system, I think that we need to change policies, tax incentives, minimum wage, and real estate policy. I'm also wary of wealth disparity among management and executives, but am even more pessimistic there.

I don't think expecting corporations to be altruistic or else calling them villains, fools ect. is the answer. At the end of the day they're concerned that they will get out competed, or about their responsibility to shareholders, and that's how budgets get set. Saying "come on, have a heart" doesn't help.
Spot on. I worked 5 years in the restaurant business during college. Still have occasional nightmares of getting 4 tables sat at once.
I looked into it and Solana requires "Validator" nodes to be specially blessed by them to get rewards for running their software, so this isn't particularly de-centralized.
It's a common problem when people have tied up their sense of self-worth in tweaking with janky, broken stuff, rather than on the things you can create with that. See also bitter, mediocre photographers who revile folks for being "fauxtographers" because they're making a living from photography on Instagram instead of fucking around with expensive lenses and Photoshop.

My kids know a lot less about the internals of a tech stack than I do, but they create a lot more things with the tools at their disposal than I do. Unlike the author, I think they're in a better place than I am.

>I wonder if early car enthusiasts felt the same about people who learned to drive when you no longer needed to know how to fix your car all the time.

I don't think you need to go back to early car enthusiasts. A lot of people would argue that at least being able to do basic car maintenance is a life skill everyone should have. I don't necessarily agree but I do think it's useful to understand at least the basics of how a car operates.

Apple's chip designers have the advantage, I assume, of being able to wander down a hallway and ask what the telemetry from iOS and MacOS devices are telling them about real-world use.
The complexity today is so great that understanding the entire system requires a vast amount of knowledge. The Commodore 64 was notable for being totally described down to the hardware and bit level in a 1 inch thick book. People who grew up with that could fully understand that little device.

With a modest amount of effort, you could totally understand an AMPS phone, the last generation of analog cellular. It was a two-way FM radio controlled by a tiny CPU, no more complex than a Commodore 64.

Understanding a modern phone is a huge job. Even at a general level. There's a 90s data center worth of compute power in there. About four radios. A GPU. A 6-axis inertial guidance system. Several cameras. A rather excessive amount of software. A web browser, which is itself overly complex. Voice codecs. Voice recognition. Quite possibly a machine learning system.

That's a lot to understand. It is also not useful to the end user to understand it.

Yeah, and it's possible today to route that data through a first-party server and randomize the file paths too. So I would say it's plausible, but moving to canvas doesn't automatically make that part worse.
You get better over time if you intentionally practice improvement. If you don't, 60-70wpm is a common threshold.

My gut feeling is that this is simply the speed range where the benefits of faster typing during composing quickly fall off. If you're thinking about what to say, you'll write a burst, think, write, think, change a bit, write some more- the limiting factor isn't really WPM.

Transcribing, of course, is another matter, but that is a specialized case.
> "this is a cool web page! How can I make one?"

I sympathize with what's been lost, but what happened was people realized they didn't actually want to build a web page, they wanted to converse on a forum and share pics, and be entertained. Sure, you could publish anything you can imagine that's less than 4 MB on Geocities, but I'd rather have Wikipedia.
There's nothing wrong with consumption devices, but they are not computers. You are using a computer if and only if you are programming, otherwise you are using a glorified television or a glorified typewriter. There's nothing wrong with that. The vast majority of people want exactly that. We shouldn't fight it, nor we should believe we are better or smarter.

But that's not tech literacy.
You're joking, I swear they've used this excuse before.
