Based on the processes I'm now running, it seems that tabs for the same domain but in different containers do (as one might expect) count as separate origins for the purpose of creating one process per origin.

So they do different things, and interaction between the features appears to work without issues.
I agree, it's just a bit hilarious to imagine a normal stock market exchange trying to get away with things like that.

Love it, reminds me a lot of Cal Newport's ideas:

The focus should be on minimalism. Start by understanding your priorities, goals, and the mental ecosystem you want to inhabit. Then evaluate each tool for its effectiveness in the above pre-stated constraints.

Every technology should have a clear purpose & place in your life, or it risks becoming into a form of media you lose control over.

For me, the key take-away from this story is right at the end, where he contemplates whether he short-changed himself. If you look at it on a per-hour basis, he got paid decently ($100 for a few hours work in the 80s? Incredible!). However, if you look at it from the perspective of the business value he delivered to Jim in that transaction, it was a bargain for Jim ($100 once-off to fix a problem taht was costing many multiples of that each month? Hell yes!).

And therein lies a fantastic reminder that if you can frame tthe cost of your work in terms of the value you will provide to your customer, rather than a flat labour rate for your time, you stand to earn a lot more.
Some other things are negative sum too.

Zoom out. Look at the performance on a larger scale. Are you making the same claims about stock options? They can plunge much more than 30% in a day, but is there no value in them? Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are still in their infancy. Compare to other assets in their infancy. This might not be a great comparison but think about real estate. In it's infancy raiders or militaries could wipe out the value of your real estate overnight. Now it's relatively very stable. Why? Because we made it that way over time. Just because an asset is currently volatile does not mean it has no value.

That's probably the worst aspect of crypto communities. Early in BTC the talk was about the tech and possibilities, trading/selling goods for BTC.

Those sort of comments you mention started creeping in, but now that is the mainstay, in every individual crypto community. I dont care that they are speculation vehicles, but pretending you are changing the world just grates. And the constant calls to HODL, which used to be humourous, are now just so much propaganda.
I thought this was going to be about that time he hooked two power supplies up to the same machine [0]. That time was worse in my opinion because anyone who knows anything about how a switching power supply works could tell you that was a bad idea, but I still have a hard time getting worked up about it. The torx bits thing doesn't even really register.

> on us as developers for creating a culture that encourages constant company hopping

lol. It's not like _us developers_ like the stress of interviewing every 2years. It's just that we know that we're undervalued and underpaid and have the luxury to prepare for job hopping.
It's a matter of _fair_ talent retention, not of _developer encouraging a culture of company hopping_ (???). Or give me example to change my mind, maybe I've not understood what you meant by that.
I'm talking about the case where a person doesn't get to "choose" to act poor. The poor person doesn't get to choose to think other than what is affordable, where someone with more money gets the choice to thinking of things other than affordability, like comfortably. The mindset that develops from a lack of agency in one's life is more traumatizing than one that does have that agency but must learn to change their mindset. Different people might not be as effected by poverty however.
Soooooo much of this article is relatable to me. I remember my first office job, I couldn't snap myself out of the habit of asking my boss for a break to go to the bathroom. He finally said "You don't need to ask me, just go, jeez." I was just so used to jobs where you had to ask.

The time clock thing too! To this day, the back of my mind still wonders if I punched in and whether all my hours are being counted. Can't just walk away from those habits once internalized.

The culture difference is so real. I remember sitting in a meeting with a bunch of managers just a little higher on the totem pole than me. Not executives by any stretch. And they were all complaining about their taxes, the cost of private school for their kids, and the fact that they can't find a good second nanny. I'm just sitting there thinking "If I lose this job, I'm living in my car." Really hard to consider these guys my peers, and I know that affects my work and my working relationship with them.

Of course, but HCL imo is a much better alternative when compared to how yaml is used in k8s.
With nomad resulting HCL code even in unrendered state is a much more readable when compared to most k8s manifests.
With k8s yaml at some point becomes cumbersome and clunky to use. There might be some practices regarding writing manifests, that i am unaware of that alleviate these issues, but atm i would prefer working with HCL over yaml.
And regarding consul. K8s and consul use go templating, which in general feels ok.
It's worrisome to me that one of the stated objections I've seen to Freenode's new owner is related to his personal politics: https://blog.bofh.it/debian/id_461

My own personal politics are probably very very similar to the above author who was complaining about the new owner being "Trumpian", but what will happen if/when we disagreed about something? Would I get the boot from Libera? I totally don't care about Orange Man's fans enough to leave a network over it.

> you don't seem to care about the hydro carbons purged in the process of strip mining the earth for shiny rocks though

This persistent idea that people who care about the carbon footprint of Bitcoin somehow single it out is silly. I dislike unnecessarily large SUVs, cruise ships, American suburb culture, and diamond mining too. Bitcoin just happens to be the topic of this thread.
It looks really nice, but I'd really like a larger one that supports drop-in. Being able to just show up without having to deal with an elderly relative trying to find a button to answer is really a killer feature.

I have anecdotes both for and against this from women who were on the internet before anything that could be considered a “women in tech” movement existed.

I can’t say from a male perspective. But I think it’s not as black and white as you paint it.

The (consistent) impression I was given was that if you didn’t try to constantly talk about being a girl/woman the majority of people just didn’t really care.

There is, however, a sad truth of the internet: that people are free to try to antagonise anyone they want without major repercussions; being a woman is something to bring up if you are one of those. But those people would find another reason anyway, I truly don’t believe it’s “because” a person is female.

So “male passing”, on IRC, about technical topics, is “human passing” in most cases, and when it’s not, nobody seems to really care, or that’s what I’ve been told.
besides the technical implementation, duplicate usernames seems confusing to users, which is why i’ve never given it too much consideration. is there a reliable and obvious way you differentiate users in the ui? i assume the primary key of the user on the backend moves to something like email or phone number (or just a unique id key i suppose). i’ve seen some projects use a randomly generated image/sprite for this, which isn’t as reliably obvious as i’d like (not to mention not as broadly accessible).
> This isn't true in the UK. There's a structure called a Company Limited by Guarantee, which has no shareholders so it can't be sold. It's an association.

There's one more structure that's (so far) exclusive to the UK: the Charitable Incorporated Organisation [1].

It can be founded as either a foundation (trustees and voting members are the same) or association (usually a larger group of voting members).

The key advantage of a CIO versus a CLG are the less onerous compliance requirements, which go a long way towards keeping smaller charities cheaper to run.

Monero does not have this problem. It's what bitcoin should have been.
It is not that easy to do even in many countries with a developed banking sector. Bitcoin is very impractical as a currency.
If we had a way to do this, why would we just limit it to crypto?
Many are useful and cutting edge but many more are useless and outdated yet have a much higher dollar value. Bitcoin is a collector’s item, so is Doge. Most of the HN community understands blockchain well enough to know that the crypto market doesn’t make much sense from a technical standpoint.

I’d like to see the market settle and begin treating coins based on the tech behind them and the future value instead of gambling chips. I see the value in some but there’s no telling if the current market will recognize that before a better competitor arrives.

It doesn't seem like anyone believes cryptos are supposed to be currencies any more. All the talk around them is around them being a new, exciting, and potentially very lucrative investment class. If you go to Coinbase's front page, you see that you can buy and sell them, like you can with Robinhood. It's not trying to be a PayPal. The currency-ness does serve an important purpose. It helps bring in investment for the nebulous future where using them as currencies will have advantages.
Exactly. I remember the last time I rejoiced about BTC dropping. [0] At that time, I bought it at <$8,000 and bought it again in March 2020 and held it.

And now I am laughing at the ones who bought BTC at >$60K who are now bag-hodling around and have to wait again.

No, it doesn't. The shape of the battery has absolutely nothing to do with how hard it is to swap. The amount of glue, restrictions on replacement parts and special screws does.
Yes, it does, despite the negative expected value. In corporate finance it's known that companies that are approaching failure are often willing to pay for volatility.

Bitcoin “dies” like bubbles do, after a peak it can’t recover from people stop thinking of it as an investment.

Tulip mania didn’t kill off Tulip farming, and even a 99.9% crash won’t kill Bitcoin. It simply returned things to the fundamental value proposition amid significant competition. In theory Bitcoin could win in a direct head to head competition, though it seems unlikely that the first coin got everything correct and was never improved upon.
There is a library for doing things like that; for some reason, it's called "curses".
A lot of postwar development in the UK has been clustered around disused WWII bases. There are several government research/nuclear establishments, and numerous industrial and commercial sites. Several airfields have also been converted to solar farms now.

I think this has been positive as a way of unlocking land for things that need space. So much of England is "precious" both in terms of value and how it is protected. Having a place to build and rebuild grotty factory units is very helpful.

I live near a site that started as an arm's depot. About twenty years ago it started to be leased as small units to startups. Many biotech spin-off companies that needed adaptable space moved in. Now it is full of large biotech labs and distribution centers. Soon there will be large data centres. There are a couple of nuclear research sites on old airfields close by which also host a space cluster.

> Wait until you hear all the energy it takes to run the current financial system

Every Bitcoin defender repeats this line, but I never see any numbers. Whatever the energy use is, it's provably less than Bitcoin by any metric like transaction volume or market cap, by the simple fact that if you were to scale up Bitcoin's energy use for comparison to the world financial system, it would use magnitudes more energy than humans produce.
Do you care how many chickens or how many beers you can get with BTC?
Even though I'm very bullish on crypto longterm and even though this crash caused me large loses on paper, I'm happy about it. I think a lot of people got very greedy and way overleveraged themselves which is not sustainable in the long-term.

For example, almost 9B$ worth of crypto got liquidated in the last 24hr, that's insane. People chasing quick money get burned.

But poor people hate feeling like they have to change their appearance to get the approval of the privileged classes. Feeling like you have to visually and verbally code switch to get "better" people to respect you just feels bad. Spending precious money on the cheapest formal wear you can find just so people will take you seriously further cements the divide poor people feel.
The poster you replied to is confused, I think they’re saying they chart Bitcoin with a logarithmic scale, which as we both know has nothing to do with how Bitcoin is priced, only how the price action is displayed on a chart.
if crypto is a ponzi scheme, then isn't cash also a ponzi scheme? cash can become just as worthless, when no one believes in it anymore, just ask zimbabwae.

personally, if i'm going to be in a ponzi scheme, at the very least I want something with a limited supply.

Also, what other option do we have for store of value? Equities are way overvalued beyond reason. Fixed income/cash are becoming worthless very quickly. real estate is hard, very hard (just ask anyone that's bought in the last year). What else is there? put everything in gold?(the supply there is manipulated).

yes, crypto has some environmental cost. but, there's huge need for store of value. if you've been working your entire life and have 200K stored up. Losing 10K per year to inflation, year after year is not acceptable.
I love this. When I was 17 my dad got me a summer job on the plant he worked at. 40 hours a week in the parts shop, ordering parts, getting parts, and running around to different places to pickup parts. Actually I didn't mind it, but it was hot and dirty and my dad was my boss.

They had a computer system there to keep the inventory, running dBase III and hooked up to a NetWare network.

First day: No reports could be printed. Reloaded the various drivers, re-ran the reports.

Second day: They told me about a bug that caused the counts to be off so after checking things in, I had to manually add the right answers to the totals. Fixed the bug in dBase app.

Third day: The pull me to the front office, I'm working in the IT department and somebody's else kid is working in the parts shop.

Investment returns are indeed affected by the same forces. And you want investments to be deflationary because you want their value to increase with time.

But here’s the thing. Those are Investments. The point of currency is not to be an investment. If it was an investment it wouldn’t serve its goal as currency. The point of currency is to facilitate quick and easy exchanges of services and goods.

And a deflationary currency pretty much becomes an investment and so loses its purpose as a currency. That’s exactly what’s happening to the likes of Bitcoin. They are almost entirelt investments and not currency anymore thanks to its deflationary (and volatile) nature.

Also, “savers” are not being penalized. People who are hoarding currency, ie, the unit of exchange, are being penalized. They can very well go ahead and save their money in actual investments, as opposed to in a token of exchange.

If a country ran a deflationary currency, it would slow down the economy significantly, which would put inflationary pressure on the currency. It’s not even clear to me how you would maintain a deflationary currency without periodically taking people’s dollars and destroying them (unless we fall into a paradoxical situation where making economic activity harder helps increase the amount of economic activity...there mah actually be some areas where this works, such as Veblen goods, where a “deflationary” currency might work).
with UI I meant user interface, but also to some degree feature set. I know they want to have it modern, but the charm of IRC to me is that it's a simple stream of text messages. No 'answering' to specific messages, URL previews, reacting to messages with smileys and a thumbs up, et cetera. Also quite a few of the clients listed on the official website are inactive or as of now "incomplete" (aren't yet full featured), so in the end I went with the official client (as it seemed the best bet to just try it).

A simpler client would do away with some of it, but some of my complaints have to do with the features the protocol implements rather than the client.
