I track my time and have spent 570 hours since 2018 working on fbs. The vast majority of this (526h) was for the free version you are complaining about, the nice documentation etc. You are criticizing me for not giving you everything I do for free?
I completely agree. That's why I mainly blamed the education system. I never said these computers are a bad idea. But if they don't properly implement any of this technology, the number of students that benefit from this are smaller. There's always the ones that discover new and interesting things on their own, and maybe even make a carrier out of them, like the music production examples given here, programming, digital art, etc...

This could have been implemented in a better way. That's all I'm saying. It's still good that there students are getting access to computers at home. Even if 25% of them can take advantage of this, that's still a huge number of people.
I think this makes 3 fusion projects aiming for 2025: SPARC, ITER, and this.
Captain of industry is an ironic name: a captain is typically someone that has been placed in authority by even higher powers, that's not typically how industry leaders like to describe their ascent.

>>It’s like, Chapter 1: Learning Your A,B,Cs. Chapter 2: >>Learning Your 1,2,3s. Chapter 3: Differential Calculus!

I hate this, but most authors do it. I recently bought a "beginner" book on Rust that promised to take things slow. And then suddenly, bam! There was dozens of lines of unexplained code, with the comment "This is easy to follow". No, it wasnt. I gave up on that book.

As someone who has written a few programming books, my experience is:

1. Explain every, yes, every single line of code. Whats so obvious to you isnt obivous to anyone else, unless they are Professor Charles Xavier and can read your mind.

2. Beginners get stuck in the most basic of things. In Python, my field, it is as simple as installing libraries. Even though I have many years expereince, sometimes just installing a library can leave me in tears.

I recently had an expereince of this from the other side(as a student)-- wanted to try out a Javascript library ,as I was following a tutorial. Ended up spending an hour configuring npm, fighting with different versions(as the library only worked with an old version of npm, and I had to figure out how to install multiple npm versions) , installing Python 2.7 (why the hell does a JS library need Python 2.7? Who knows?)

Ultimately, just gave it up. This is how beginners feel-- and I know from experience if you ask or complain about this, you will be attacked, asked to RTFM etc etc. "How hard can it be to install a library? Do a pip or npm install! Do your research before asking questions."

So beginners can get stuck and quit at the most basic of things. And beginner just doesnt mean someone new to programming -- I was the beginner when learning JS (and still am).
Hmm. I don't think this is the first legal contract of ambiguous intent. Surely any court would decide what the proper reading is and rule in some direction.
Hmm, with Pyinstaller I generate true standalones which require no libs at all, nor Python to be installed on the host system. Do you use the --onefile option?

As an example, here's a little project which I also release as a single binary file that works everywhere I've tested, with no deps:

Open up the borders to developing nations who haven't figured that out yet
Republican cities are fine with municipal broadband, because it solves a real problem in those cities - local leaders are generally more pragmatic that way.

Republican state and national leaders, on the other hand, are generally more concerned about their political narrative. They're not the ones impacted by the crap broadband in the cities.
What in Babylon? To each his or her own. Love my two children, would literally die for them. At the same time i never thought that having children is essential for everybody to be more happy.

Also i think there are so many people who would have been better off without them.
> A quarter of adults don't want children, but they will still expect the children of the other 75% to produce sufficient surplus for them to consume in retirement.

Well, that's an assumption you make. Me and my wife don't want children but we are also working to build sustainable future for ourselves so we are not much dependent on future generations. Pension funds, sustainable business for the future, low footprint. And yes, we are paying into the system which is ripping us off today anyway. So you, know, we finance your parents, your children can pay something back.

This obviously depends on the country you live in. In Germany, there are talks to increase pension contributions for people who don't have children.
More directly I also really like the work of my colleagues from https://climeworks.com - if you are interested in more actual engineering challenges.
> Many have retirement savings, and so on, that are merely investments on time they've worked. That work has also created the opportunities for the next generation to occupy.

You can’t eat “investment”. When you finally start using these retirement savings, it will be to buy goods and services that will ultimately be rendered to you by someone else’s children. You’d better hope that by the time your generation is retired, next generation is large and willing enough to support you to the level you expect. Savings are just claim on a share of future production, and if future production is to be reduced in aggregate (and with population falling quicker than economy is growing, it very well might be), your claim will be worth less than you expect.

In the end, our generation will be cared for in retirement by our children and grandchildren either way, and everything else is just accounting.
This is just generic regular advice but sentences are negated...
Realistically the government will just increase immigration to sustain growth. In a long view of time, the fecund segment of the population will outgrow the segment that has very few children and things will return to normal.
Not sure if this is sarcasm but there are plenty of organizations where you can volunteer and have a meaningful impact on a kids life.

> I do, too.

Sorry based on your comment, it seems not.

There is a clear strong negative bias towards China in your comment and lack of understanding with “standing on the shoulders of giants”.

You can read all about rockets, still it will be hard to build one. Very few companies and countries are able to do space missions, even with the availability of all the know how. India took two decades to build cryogenic engines based on the Russian design and specifications, called CE-7.5 (and variants with minor changes). It helped them build CE-20 later and it’s still hard and they are working on it.

So may be for once just keep your bias on side and be able to acknowledge the achievements based on science.
Why'd they build it in the UK instead of the US? Curious about the location.
At the moment though this would be way easier with a plethora of ARM boards that are both low cost and powerful. Also with star link there would be a way to solve spotty internet access in remote areas. What is needed I suppose is a way to integrate this with preexisting organisations in the area.
I would add "focus on how your progress looks in the eyes of the stakeholders".

I lost count how many times I had to fight over doing actual work and coming clean on how much is really done versus making the result only appear finished and knowingly merging buggy code.

Stakeholders put pressure because of course they do. That doesn't mean lying to them is a sound tactic. It's much better to negotiate a reduction of scope than pretend you've delivered only to later have them, or worse - the users - discover the truth.
OpenPGP JavaScript Implementation
Can attest to this. You start letting small things slide in PRs, decide not to add those extra assertions because "you know it will work", not understand the libraries being used and before you know it the codebase is something people want to stay away from.
Maybe it's not true of your upbringing or culture, but in most cultures, you are simply expected to have children, no ifs or buts. It's considered to be a prerequisite for you to be considered a proper adult. Anything less is 'selfish', while child-rearing is are spoken of as the 'greatest joy anyone can experience'. The propaganda begins almost at birth: making kids = joy.
Here’s an arbitrage opportunity. Since the price of TITAN is 0, it only takes a small amount of $ to buy a vast amount of TITAN coins. Buy the locked out IRONs at a discount. Keep buying TITAN at $0 until it moves beyond $0 to satisfy the greater than 0 constraint on IRON. Cash out the IRONs.
What Makes a Good Generative Agent?
2025 will come and go. 2030 more likely. Hope to be incorrect.
Those x86 instructions are “legacy floating point” instructions. As in, the x87 FPU. Benchmarks I’ve seen seem to indicate that the x87 “coprocessor” is slow compared to the SSE/AVX FPUs, and only exists for backwards compatibility. I don’t think SSE/AVX has a logarithm instruction, sadly, but there are intrinsics for them: `_mm256_log_pd` for example. Considering that intrinsic generates a “sequence” instead of a single instruction, I’d be curious how it compares to x87.
As a one-man WISP responsible for everything at the physical level and the logical/IP configuration of the network, monitoring systems, billing systems, customer support systems etc you are also trapped in a personal hell of never being able to go on vacation and on-call 24x7x365.

There are certain sorts of people who are capable and comfortable with doing that and have the motivation to do so, but running a small sized ISP realistically takes 3 to 4 people with differing but complementary skill sets in order for everyone to not burn out. It takes a fair bit of revenue just to handle what would be the reasonable payroll cost for that plus operating costs plus overhead.
> Some chains/coins are backed and developed by fairly well defined "legal entities" (presumably for reaso). I am waiting with popcorn in hand for the day someone loses money via smart contract and then takes the entity behind the chain to court to overturn it.

I would very much like to see regulators purposely engage in these activities, and then directly pursue those within their reach. There's no reason to wait for more citizen victims when the model is proven and the government has the resources to set the stage to demonstrate the failure scenario. This is simply a more elaborate sting versus putting a car on the street to be boosted.
If you don’t want children then you might not have any offspring, who could potentially share your view on not having children
Adding Swift Code as Custom LLDB Command
Given all of one's ancestors up to the lowly amoeba decided to reproduce, one might think living things are somehow predisposed for it.
I don't think that's true? There's nothing special about Apple's implementation of Dolby Atmos over headphones besides the head tracking bit (and that's not needed for music) that need their headphones. If you set Dolby Atmos to "Always On" in the settings it will give you the Atmos headphones mix regardless of what headphones being used. Airpods and Beats are still just stereo headphones.

Atmos works pretty well over normal stereo headphones and I've used it for years on PC while watching supported Blu-rays.

I'm kinda peeved at Apple's lazy implementation because it's only supported on Apple devices and not devices that support Atmos and work with Apple music like a PC or Samsung Android phone.
> No one's forcing anyone to use youtube.

No one's forcing YouTube to send me the videos either. If it gives me ads, they will be deleted before they even make it to my screen. If they don't like that, they are free to return 402 Payment Required instead of giving me stuff for free.
I'm currently implementing Stripe Terminal functionality for an iOS project using the BBPOS Chipper. Does this Stripe hardware do anything that the Chipper doesn't? Or are they simply moving away from generic looking 3rd party hardware?

For one, it keeps a couple invested in something that isn't themselves or work. It's natural that a couple should want to strive for something together, like raising their children into adulthood, and having children is the primary thing that is biologically codified for this.

I thought I didn't want kids, then I realized I don't find work especially gratifying, and I heard lots of really interesting things from people who do have kids about how important and meaningful having them is to them; I'll find out soon enough. In hindsight, I was disturbed by how having kids worked out for many people around me, and I was afraid that I would make the same mistakes. I know that this doesn't have to be the case.

Maybe some people feel the same way about work, and maybe some couples work together. Maybe striving towards financial goals or living situations does the trick for other couples.
aww I was hoping this was gonna be an article about the glorious comeback of Not-ion as the true superior tiling window manager (suck it i3).
Its tough. Parenthood also have a pretty varied time horizon for reward depending on what someone finds rewarding. imo, this whole study is kind of misframed and isnt much different than "25% of people find work to be bad."
Slightly related. But I’ve had single-sided deafness all my life (which means all I’ve experienced is mono audio) and now with this shift from stereo to spatial. I was wondering if some kind HN users could fill me in on what I’m missing out. (By listening to stereo tracks in mono and observing how it sounds or anything that could give me a picture of that— is it crowded? Distorted? Etc). The only pertinent study I could find on this is https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28534734/
It should still be possible to use the python syntax and a reimplemented stdlib to build a statically typed, typesafe variant.

I think you object to the name python3, because there is a duck typed interpreter that's popular.
You have evidence that the taxes of the 75% doesn't cover what is spent on schools and childcare?
The Monica situation is probably a bad example; that was Stack Overflow (the company) royally and unilaterally messing up. It's certainly not a usual situation for resource-curating communities.

I've written, and deleted, several essays on the matter, but a TL;DR: Monica's legitimate questions to staff about a policy got caught up in a crackdown on sealioning-type harassment of trans (etc.) mods in the mod chat, and SO management basically declared war on Monica by mistake. We don't know whether they dealt with the actual harassment (though I think they did, belatedly), because if they did, proper procedure was followed and the perps weren't named-and-shamed in the press.
Listing random coins isn't sufficient evidence for your claim, back them up with links.

Since you claimed it's a solved problem, I am assuming these coins never had congestion issues which is why you chose them?
I have found that, especially in the cloud with the many SAAS, IAAS, and PAAS offerings there, people end up implementing some kind of poorly thought out CQRS/Event Bus architecture because these offerings naturally lead that way. Attempting to bring some order to it by actually applying these patterns in a structured way is met by something like "that seems complicated" or "we'll never need it" or "why would we keep a log of all of our events"?

If you're doing distributed cloud event based systems these are sane ways to go about it. I contend though that usually you can get away with a series of big fat SQL databases until you're well into the billion in revenue a year club.
Given it's a collaboration between a Canadian company and a UK research program, I'm not sure why the US would be considered.
I think if Gödels proof needs Q then that is OK.

Q cannot prove its own consistency. Which means there is no way of telling that Gödels theorems are proved in a theory that is inconsistent (where everything is true).
There's a difference between our species surviving and our species having a sustainable population. I personally think it's critical for the global population to contract but the only ethical way to do so is to try for lower birthrates across the world.

It was actually Dan Ingalls who built it (btw. 15 years before Erlang was invented); he's also the author of the referenced worth reading paper; never understood why he didn't get the Turing price.
This one is manageable. You could do proportional voting within each state without changing the balance between states. Say 5 instead of 2 senators from each state and proportional voting within each state.

I'm not saying this doesn't have other problems, it's just an example that the rural states problem is not a hard blocker for proportional voting.

The DOM view on the other hand is super useful as it is effectively a de-obfuscated version of what those javascript soup create.

The article touches on it only briefly, but the subtle irony here is the government has starved Argentines of consumer tech for decades (via protectionist trade policies). So to me this could be described less as a "sparking of a renaissance" and more like the opening of a floodgate.
The Constitution incorporates several brakes already, via separation of powers. Any bill requires the Senate and the House and the President. Even on the rare occasions where you have a majority of all three, that majority has to be in agreement -- often unanimous, if the majority is narrow, which it practically always is.

You don't always see that dissent. It's easier to let the opposition filibuster a bill than voice opposition from within your own party. If the filibuster didn't exist, you'd see more instances of single nay votes preventing passage.

So ending the filibuster would not come anywhere near creating a tyranny of the majority. It would just shift the balance a bit. It just so happens that that is also political, since there are ideological patterns of people who want to use the legislature to create change versus those who prefer to maintain the status quo.
America used to export culture, now we just export outrage and microagressions.
> poor education, racism, and general bigotry

They don't see themselves that way. So when you accuse them of being these terrible things, they resent you. And if they resent you, they are not under any circumstances going to vote for you, even if it might be to their benefit in reality.

We could debate for a long time exactly how we got here, and everyone thinks the other side is entirely responsible.
Author here. I see your posts often and have a lot of respect for you as someone who obviously has a deeper knowledge of networking than I probably every will. That being said I don't really agree that a person necessarily needs a ton a networking or even any technical background to start a WISP, any more than they necessarily need a ton of experience as a cook to start a restaurant. They definitely need employees or advisors who have that experience, but like you allude to here probably no one can have all of the knowledge to so it themselves upfront.

Also I've also seen a lot of WISPs with a myriad of problems as they grow from a few dozen to a few hundred customers, many of them are able to make that transition, fix their problems, and either grow or be acquired. This seems basically the same as any industry - if everyone waited until they knew exactly what they're doing no one would start anything.

All of this said, starting a WISP isn't for everyone. I talk to a lot of people who are in the early stages of starting an ISP, and often my best, honest advice is that it's not a great idea in their situation.
Tesla and Other Bubble Stocks Have Deflated Just Like 2000
I agree, but the correct way to do that is what the Play Store does: display what the user asked for first and unambiguously, and AFTER, display some ads, clearly flagged as "Ads: other content that might interest you".

Apple doesn't even clearly flag them as ads.
>Non-collateralized stablecoins

read: "ponzi scheme". This is pretty funny.
Straight up competition - a marketing company built on search or ecommerce for everything - probably wouldn't. The company that takes them down will come from a side angle and might not even be recognized as a competitor. Amazon itself is an example of this. It wasn't too terribly long ago that Walmart ruled retail and Amazon was a niche little company selling books (online!). Whatever takes down Google and Amazon will be something similar.
>Youtube is a poor substitute for that kind of learning, since most videos don't go into in-depth and don't provide critical feedback to the pupil.

I agree with the latter point but not the former. Many, many YouTube videos on many, many subjects are sufficiently in-depth. I remodeled my garage and built my home office in it largely with knowledge I learned from builders and tradesmen on YouTube. Practices like drywalling, installing and leveling doors, sealing concrete, changing light switches and receptacles, and doing trimwork are some of the things that I knew nothing about and then learned how to do well enough for me to WFH at the start of the pandemic.

In the world of music, and especially hip hop, production and mastering YouTube is perhaps the best school on the planet. The amount of knowledge being uploaded and viewed daily is absolutely a world wonder.

And while YouTube authors and creators aren't able to give critical feedback directly from their channels, usually, some do[1][2][3]... and even if they didn't, it's not like there is a shortage of places on the internet to get critique on your art.
