Medium offers an audience, and it's human for people to want their work to be read and feel validated. I have friends who share their blog posts and social media and have it read that way.

Unfortunately my own blogs are quite niche in topics, and there wouldn't be much value in sharing socially as my network wouldn't really get it.
It's not really such an investment in that career, though. The pay is insane for a few weeks of training. They could make money while it lasts, and then move to other low-qualified jobs. If you really make a career out of it, like transporting large loads or dangerous fluids, then it won't be automated in our lifetimes anyway

In my travels, I have been to multiple cities where the advice is, NEVER USE UNLICENSED TAXIS. Tourists are grifted or worse by unlicensed drivers. I read a tragic hand written warning at a youth hostel by a victim who was held a knife point and driven around to every ATM in the city, draining their account $200 per machine (local limit.)

Closer to home, in my province, there have been issues with AirBnB operators not being properly insured. If you were injured because of something unsafe on the property, compensation could be difficult or impossible. There have been instances of airbnb rentals that have hidden cameras in rooms you would assume to be private. I personally would feel safer if bad behaviour can get a person banned from renting rooms.

Anecdata, but what the fork was going on here? And do we think it would happen at a hotel? https://torontosun.com/news/provincial/hunter-toronto-woman-...
Watch out! If you compile the Adacore version of GNAT then you're limited by the license they give you for their version which is GPL without runtime library exception. This doesn't change when you compile their code. With some delay (a year or so) Adacore releases their versions of GNAT with runtime library exception so it can be merged with the FSF version of GNAT.
Great concept and implementation. Anyone know how they found "all" awesome lists? For example the Awesome Nuclear [1] list is missing.

it entirely depends, of course, on what you're modeling.

My home field uses chinchillas a lot. Cardiologists use pigs. etc.
The first news story I saw about this only mentioned the amount. I assumed it was one-off for a new app, or maybe annual. Per month is crazy. I don’t object to subscriptions, but in so many cases the pricing is way out of line with the value.
The building's heating and cooling are just one part of the equation - you also have massive amounts of construction materials, lack of tree coverage, maintenance, transportation of materials to and from the building, etc. You did call these things out a bit in your post toward the end. I'd also argue the lack of local agriculture and the need to ship massive amounts of materials to skyscraper cities is an unaccounted for c02 emissions problem as well.

> Hong Kong is so dense that not only is the "fifteen minute city" more than a reality for non-work trips, but most people are within a 15 minute walk or bus ride of massive shopping malls with department stores.

I bet Munich or Amsterdam are 15 minute cities too and you don't need the skyscrapers (or at least as many).

You also rightly called out that the car-oriented suburbs are big time carbon emitters. How will this change with electric cars? Will suburbs become more competitive with cities on a per-capita emissions basis? Idk. If they get close to parity that would be an alarming development for proponents of cities. I think the suburbs have a lot of potential if we could relax zoning laws and more people did things like have suburban gardens.

The ideal state IMO are mixed-use, walkable and bike-able neighborhoods. They should incorporate the local environment well. If you live near the Mediterranean you paint your house white to keep it cool ad develop architectural characteristics. If you live in Ohio you have lots of tree cover, etc. Suburbs are undesirable for obvious reasons, but I think cities will be/are undesirable for other less understood reasons. Right now people in America look to them and say hey look they have great c02 emissions but it depends on what you compare them to. Do small towns and villages in Normandy have worse per-capita c02 emissions?

We also have to consider there is an acceptable level of c02 emissions either way, we don't need to race to the bottom. Overall I'd say if we focus on living sustainably, and reduce the need for nation-state level manufacturing and support, we'd be better off.
Quite often what is "obvious" isn't true. Take some time and do some reading on this topic and you'll find that vaccines can provide equal or better immunity than a natural infection.

Well, just to give you an idea, my province typically ranges from 1-10% provided by fossil fuels and of the fossil fuels - it's just natural gas. I'm sure there's some line losses there, but I don't think they're enough to overcome the 90%+ of energy coming from other sources.

Of course, I'm not heating my entire home with a single GPU, merely offsetting a small portion of my overall heating cost.
Have you heard the phrase “science advances one death at a time”?

Older people — not all of them, there are many exceptions, but as a group — are more rigid in their thinking and less open to new ideas. Some of this is due to acquired wisdom, but it is also due to decreased ability to imagine the world any other way.

It is still a bug, but there is a huge distinction because in one case you're leaking your password and in the other you're not. The title of this post should be changed. Not sure why posts like this crop up to the top so quickly without people actually understanding what's happening.

The 'poor track record' reputation comes from the giant number of mom-and-pop sites that got compromised. I imagine 40% of the web is really just a handful of massive commercial websites that have developers on hand to take care of security, backups, devops etc.

This book had more of a Heinlein feel to it than a Martian hard science feel. It pushed the boundaries of probability and fig leafed the unbelievable things happening with pseudoscience and hand waving. I loved it because I love Heinlein books but I could have done without the lame attempts at explaining why things were possible and spent more time moving the story along. 9/10

PS: I think Andy Weir would do well to hire a physicist and engineer to do some math with him and bounce ideas. There were a couple things in this book that didn't make sense if you know a little about rockets.
Answering to another point separately because my other comment grew large enough already:

> or else Linux would be breaking all the time, and its a solid, big and complex piece of software that works pretty well because there's a lot of economical incentives to keep it going.

It is solid... as far as we know. Truth is, nobody is fuzzing the Linux kernel 24/7 except maybe the worst possible actors like national intelligence agencies or malevolent hacking groups -- and they of course would never share and help fix a zero-day because it can help them make money by exfiltrating sensitive information and/or breaking in protected networks.

Don't get me wrong, I admire the Linux kernel devs. They are a standing tribute to all ideas of free and open source and open project management. But Linus himself said security isn't the first priority of the kernel which already means that certain potential problems in the code are being overlooked in favor of speed and stability.

(There was a story some weeks ago on HN showing that there was a pretty nasty exploitable bug in the Linux kernel but I lost the link.)
Useful advice; I'm somewhat put-off by "translation into worthwhile".

It is already worthwhile, since it is aiming at the truth: a comment is an invitation to revise your/my view.

It seems we're saying here that the community, generically, does not find that worthwhile. Rather we take as fixed a commenter's private interests, and commenting is merely an instrument for furthering those.

I understand that reasoning in selecting/voting posts; I dont have much sympathy with it in commenting.
Definetly an terrible feature as a web developer. I stopped counting how many bug reports I've had to can because the users thought we were the ones auto populating their fields with crap.
Yes, networking and making friends is big. but just learning a lot of the nuts and bolts for what is now my profession was also pretty big. Some people can self learn but the discipline and help from professors brought me a long ways.
You'd hope so but these are the same machines on site that have been there for years and they're still paying the same per week for them. It literally just comes down to the capex/opex dilemma, individual caps on expenditure without review, and lack of motivation to improve efficiency if it doesn't land in their pocket from everyone else.
I think learning to work around interruptions is a skill that can be developed over time.

Just watch some coding streamers on twitch. They can start and stop their coding while interacting with their viewers.

In many ways it's the similar for gamers on twitch. Try holding a conversation while playing a game. Over time they learn to be good at both simultaneously.

There are going to be some programming tasks that are harder to start and stop. But for most programmers those are going to be the exception.

>Zuckerberg has control over the speech and thoughts of around three billion people in countries across the world.

That's ridiculous, Zuckerberg has control over neither.

Does my cellular service provider control my speech and thoughts?

Does Microsoft control my speech and thoughts because I use Windows?

Does the Post Office control my speech and thoughts because they collect and deliver the mail?

No, no and no. I don't think you understand what the word "control" means.
I know you understand libusrsctp Florent. I created Pion, I feel prety comfortable with SCTP and WebRTC in general as well.

RtcQuicTransport tried to replace SCTP and it didn't work. It would be possible to replace SCTP if something better was available. SCTP has lots of great stuff like FORWARD-TSN. QUIC didn't offer anything compelling over it. Also would come with a huge cost of making WebRTC larger and losing interop with all the existing clients.

libusrsctp has had security issues, but I don't think the protocol is the problem. The issue is C/C++. QUIC implementations are going to have the same class of bugs. Chrome/libwebrtc has plenty of security issues in other areas besides SCTP. Rust/Go doesn't fix everything, but one less thing to worry about at least.
When you're sending stuff to other planets the cost of what you're sending is usually a trivial part of the cost of the mission. So long as it's off the shelf and not heavier you send the best there is.

And I don’t hold out much hope that this will do anything to stop Twitter from boosting crazy garbage in order to maximize “engagement” and sell ads.

IANAEE (electrical engineer), but I do some antique radio collecting. When you work with computers, memory chips, all that, your instinct is to be grounded. I read that the opposite is true when working on old radios. When you're ground, you can get all of 110 volts going through you.
From the "All American Five" wikipedia page, "The standard line up of tubes were designed so that the total rated voltage of the five tubes was 121 volts, slightly more than the electricity supply voltage of 110-117V. An extra dropper resistor was therefore not required. Transformerless designs had a metal chassis connected to one side of the power line, which was a dangerous electric shock hazard and required a thoroughly insulated cabinet."
An isolation transformer is your friend if you work on them.
I understand wp is more flexible and from a development perspective is superior. However it's inferior if you are just hooking up some small business with a website they can maintain and they don't want to pay you for ongoing maintenance.
For a very basic CRUD app I tend to agree with you.

But for anyone dealing with synchronization between threads/processes/machines, modeling engineering problems with large systems of equations, complex business domains, systems programming, actually implementing something from an algorithms textbook yourself, cryptography, or any problem that requires you to keep more than one or two things in your head at once to be solvable, focus is important.

And if the simple crud app mentioned before turns into spaghetti through no fault of your own, you'll still need to focus.

So I'm not going to shame anyone for saying they need to focus.

> Pick two different random points with different x value on the curve, connect these two points with a straight line, let’s say A
A
and B
B
. Then you will notice the line touches the curve at a third point.

I seem to always get hung up on this part of the explanation. Looking at the graph, I can see points along the curve, where a line would only intersect with 2 points on the curve.

What do you do in that case? Is this a matter of, yes those points are there, but they are rare enough that we just pick another set of random points and try again, or is there another solution to the issue?

Last time I checked, Art is personal, emotional, and in our case, sends a clear message of team unity and celebration.

100's of other CEO's and managers who have bought and rebought from us think otherwise, and have had incredibly positive feedback from their teams.

But instead of assume the creative tastes of your team, or project yours, why not just simply ask them what they think?

Hi HN, I’m the creator of Ninfex.

I’ve been unhappy with the inconsistent quality of web search results for quite some time now. Wanting to do something about this for myself, I started experimenting with the way I save my notes/bookmarks.

In all of my trials, two things seemed to work more than all others and proved to be useful in the long term. One: saving my good search result URLs. Two: saving links to discussions on those URLs from Reddit, HN, Lobsters, etc. because in my opinion, community feedback is a (relatively) better proxy for URL quality.

This combined with the Apple notes search feature became a very simple but effective personal index. For the main topics that interest me, I often found myself searching my index before searching the web. Once this setup started working well for me, I thought it was probably time to add a feature which lets users vote on URLs and host a version of this online, so others can both contribute to and benefit from it.

With that in mind, I started speaking to more people who were unhappy with the current state of search. Turns out the most common workaround people use is restricting results to communities (mostly reddit) either by just appending the name or using site: operator (example - bone conduction headphones reddit). This was further confirmation that the so-called “power users” had already moved on to relying on using communities as a proxy for their search results.

And so I built a basic version of Ninfex with all those features: community-curated index, votable urls, forum links and search. It’s an early stage prototype and I’m slowly populating the index with URLs from my personal wiki.

I look forward to your feedback and I’m open to all kinds of suggestions.

Indeed: isn't that precisely a good reason to reply rather than downvote?

I have maybe downvoted a handful of times in a decade of being on this site: only for spam or grossly misleading comments.

Increasingly I see seas of downvoted comments as-if this were reddit. I think that might just be it: the community has grown so large, it has attracted enough of those types who vote-their-emotions.
Agreed 100%. I hope that medically assisted suicide becomes more widely legal and acceptable by the time I get towards my end. I didn't ask to be brought into this world and when my body and mind start to really deteriorate, and I can no longer enjoy life the way I want then I'd like to check out on my own terms.
I really like this. We've attempted similar ideas on projects before based on first/last initial and it never turned out like I wanted. I like the simplicity of your execution and the range of styles you created. I get that some of the feedback is about them being too close together, but for practical applications, I think you would see enough variation in a small subset for it to be effective. Well done!
