It’s about time there are brokers in the crypto space.

Almost all the exchanges are copy and paste jobs provided by an exchange vendor, and they all have code to be brokers and route to external order books, all via REST and FIX but just choose not to.
I think the Four Kings of chairs are the Herman-Miller Aeron, the HM Embody, the Steelcase Leap, & the Steelcase Gesture (my preference). I've not tried the Embody myself, but I'd bet it's good. HM Mirra is a close runner up. I've got maybe 11,000 hours in the Leap, it's fantastic. My Gesture is new but I think I like it more; the arms truly are great.

It's really hard to guess what you'll prefer; just keep your eye out for trying out as many as you can. Also note Aerons come in 3 sizes, so maybe you like the M better than the L, or vice versa.
Well, the reason for the Linux utilities is because Linux doesn't actually ship with a GUI; anything you see on screen is drawn by a userspace program that all other programs interact with (said program is called a "desktop environment" or DE).

Building text-based tools is much easier than building GUIs on Linux because you have to target a specific GUI architecture like X11 / Wayland, and then you also have to think about fitting in with whatever window manager the user uses; GNOME / KDE / whatever.

On Mac or Windows, you build a GUI using the vendor's tools and you're golden. No need to worry about how the user is getting windows to show up on their screen because every user is using the same software to do so. For similar reasons, a lot of software just says screw it and targets Ubuntu only so they don't have to support your weird configuration on any other distro.

I don't know about the WWII case, but in countries like the UK where it is legal to be buried at sea there are regulations about where you can perform the ceremony specifically because bodies do drift: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-guernsey-24224570

Although the article mentions that this is the first time it's happened in 25 years, note that only about a dozen people every year choose to be buried in this way: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-38210497
Lake Superior is perpetually cold and near-sterile when you get deep enough. Not the greatest place if you want bodies to decompose.
Another article that assumes that the uniform Hick's law is its only form. There is also the nonuniform Hick's law were each option has its own level of salience. This models actual use better as most of the options are ignored and never considered so even if they are present it only slows the user in locating the option they want by a much smaller amount than the uniform law would predict.
Steelcase Leap V2 works best for me.
We feel ya, and more in-depth Defi integration is one of our most requested features. What specific Defi services would be most helpful to you?
I agree with you in general, but despite my not being a rocket scientist, i know for sure 50°C is not an OK limit for outdoor stuff on many parts of the planet. It's like Outdoors Electronics 101 so not exactly something to test for in a beta.
> How, prey tell, do you intend to differentiate

I don't think I need to do it (why would I have to?), but it seems pretty straightforward. The online lynching mobs cross the line when they cause real world consequences for the lynched. (However, it is hard to predict in advance that the mob will happen and what the consequences will be. That's why people should be generally cautious about such participations.)

In other words, the punishment should be proportional to the crime. Kovarex got his comment deleted and that should close the issue and end the drama.
No matter what happens, people will seemingly forever declare BTRFS is not as stable and not as safe. There's a status page that details what BTRFS thinks of itself[1], and I doubt any of the many people docking BTRFS have read or know or care what that page says. There is one issue still being worked out to completion, a "write hole" problem, involving two separate failures, an unplanned/power-loss shut-down, followed by a second disk failure, which can result in some data being lost[2] in RAID5/6 scenarios.

Other than that one extreme double-failure scenario being worked out, BTRFS has proven remarkably stable for a while now. A decade ago that wasn't quite as absolutely bulletproof, but today the situation is much different. Personally, it feels to me like there is a persistent & vocal small group of people who seemingly either have some agenda that makes them not wish to consider BTRFS, or they are unwilling to review & reconsider how things might have changed in the last decade. Not to belabor the point but it's quite frustrating, and it feels a bit odd that BTRFS is such a persistent target of slander & assault. Few other file systems seem to face anywhere near as much criticism, never so out of hand/casually, and honestly, in the end, it just seems like there's some continent of ZFS folks with some strange need to make themselves feel better by putting others down.

One big sign of trust: Fedora 35 Cloud looks likely to switch to BTRFS as default[3], following Fedora 33 desktop lat year making the move. A number of big names use BTRFS, including Facebook. I have yet to see any hyperscalers interested in ZFS.

I'm excited to see ZFS start to get some competent expandability. Expanding ZFS used to be a nightmare. I'll continue running BTRFS for now, but I'm excited to see file systems flourish. Things I wouldn't do? Hardware RAID. Controllers are persnickety weird devices, each with their own invisible sets of constraints & specific firmware issues. If at all possible, I'd prefer the kernel figure out how to make effective use out of multiple disks. BTRFS, and now it seems ZFS perhaps too, do a magical job of making that easy, effective, & fast, in a safe way.

Edit: the current widely-adopted write hole fix is to use RAID1 or RAID1c3 or RAID1c4 (3 copy RAID1, 4 copy RAID1) for meta-data, RAID5/6 for data.

Actually it is extremely useful. However it won't work as well if you use a silencer. (Which are better named suppressors, the gun is still quite loud but won't be doing as much damage to your hearing.) As in, we can make it work. But making it sensitive enough to catch quieted guns inside of houses will also make it sensitive enough to generate a ton of false positives.

This is one of the main reasons why there is a debate about the use of silencers. And people who want to be able to use silencers have an agenda to make the technology seem less useful than it is.
Well... your problem is solved... disk management has no UI anymore...
+1 for Embody. Had an Aeron. Pretty comfortable. Broke. Steelcase Leap after that. Durable. Had many years. Hadn't sat in for days on end until pandemic. Was killing my lower back. Ordered an Embody without having sat in one before. It's an opinionated chair in terms of design and damn if it didn't save my back. Still good a year later. They're not for everyone, but , man, they're for me.
>> But it only takes one person and these huge companies employ so many people.

No. It never takes only one employ clicking a bad link. It takes that click, plus a browser/email/os system that allow for random code to executed. It take an IT department that has allowed individual non-IT employees to use computers with elevated privileges. It requires a management structure that has failed to invest in proper off-site/cold backups. It requires an organization that doesn't have a proper business continuity plan.

And at the top of the incompetency pyramid, it requires a vendor that sells an email system that allows evil email messages to somehow infect entire operating systems. Want your email to connect to your office suite? Sure. Want to install random software based on clicked links? Sure thing. Want to update your firewall, install a new browsers and simultaneously backup all your encryption keys to a random server in the far east? Why not! Anything to make your operating system experience seamless.
This makes me want to buy a VR headset! I spend 1/3 of my life in front of a computer, and this looks fun.

But how do you find the keyboard while the headset is on?
> The tech bubble has never understood that the rest of the planet doesn't have the same weather as San Francisco.

Two things: first, Apple is headquartered in Cupertino, which gets quite a bit warmer than San Francisco. Second, I've seen phones overheat and shut down in the summer in SF. This isn't a bubble thing; this is a company prioritizing miniaturization over proper functioning. Form over function.
> This shows you a lot more of the game world than you’d get in the standard 4:3 mode, but you can see that all of the 2D elements in the scene are displayed with the wrong aspect ratio. This lack of aspect ratio correction for 2D elements is common to most widescreen games of that era.

In my experience, building game UX for non-fixed aspect ratio requires a different and much more complicated architecture from the very beginning, so I would be quite surprised if any game developers of console titles in the 90s managed to do it. Even with modern game engines and layout tools proper support is still a headache.

And BTW, game UX is pretty different from the usual business app UX: you have a LOT of images that take up tons of texture budget (which you can save by slicing it up in creative ways) and you can't just stretch them: you have to anchor things up in pretty complicated ways. And once you add localisation, support for far-eastern languages and cultures (which have a different design language) and RTL, things get really interesting.
there’s two classes of companies. FANG types which i agree with your sentiment.

I have two herniated discs that hurt like hell for a couple years now, so a few months pre pandemic. I got exactly 3 different chairs in my home office now, as I tried several models until I finally succumbed to the gaming chair.

I bought a DX Racer Drift looking for the foot rests, but I rarely use those.

The big, big difference I saw in gaming chairs over most of the desk chairs is the ability to recline the backrest independently from the seat. While most office chairs will allow you to recline, the seat is fixed into the backrest so the angle between your legs and your back is always fixed at 90 degrees. Being able to tilt just the backrest, making a >90 angle between my legs and the back is the super-dupper-killer-feature for me.

I usually leave it slightly over 90, not too much, maybe something like 110 degrees, which gives me max confort without hurting my shoulders (which start to hurt if you go too far back, as you lose some support while typing).

What I found in the end is that all this ergonomics bs is just that: BS. Find a chair that works for you, it does not even need to be expensive. For a long time I was using my kitchen chairs because they were less painful then my previous two other office chairs.
A lot more than the southern part.
The article says the problem was a dropped frame from the camera, but that just further piques my curiosity:

Presumably they use some kind of Kalman Filter, but those are easy to program to account for missing frames, or frames at non-discrete timepoints, perhaps even for screwy camera images if the programmer had a reasonable prior for the likelihood of it happening. Kalman Filters by design account for measurement error.
FYI you don’t have to move data. You can just replace each disk one at a time, and after the last replacement you magically have a bigger vpool.
Andrew, I think it's a wonderful project, but to meaningfully evaluate it it definitely takes way more than an hour to figure out what, why and how is done here :) reading articles is hard. Thanks for your work!
I’m a native Texan and have had several power outages this year including one last week outside of San Antonio. Also pretty sure I had at least one in 2019. I remember frequent blackouts during the hurricane season in the TX city I grew up in ~20 years ago.
It’s just a context.

I think probably one of the more relevant parts of her legacy is the assessment of journalism

>"One of the through lines in her work was a merciless view of journalism, never mind that she was one of its most prominent practitioners.“Human frailty continues to be the currency in which it trades,” she wrote in “Iphigenia in Forest Hills: Anatomy of a Murder Trial” (2011). “Malice remains its animating impulse.”

I actually think this is how journalism ought to be. I occassionaly think of Hunter S. Thompson's obituary of Nixon in which he described how one had to get subjective and leave behind the standards of so called 'objective' journalism to get to the truth. I think this kind of competitive malice is no worse than say, the malice in business to outcompete.

What I personally don't like is not that kind of inquisitive writing but a moralistic attitude denying it. If journalists pursue this kind of writing they should hold themselves to that same standard, but they should nonetheless not shy away from controversy. One place where I think it's really relevant today is tech. You have companies like a16z trying to produce these soft propaganda alternative media outlets in response to 'toxic' journalists, but I side firmly with the journalists here even if part of journalistic writing is notoriety and fame or 'malice', they just ought to admit it. I'm often kind of sad to see how uncritically people, in particular here on HN, eat up these calls for civility, which is simply power trying not to be questioned.
haha that last line made me chuckle because there is an older guy in my office who swears a PB and Mayo sandwich is the shit. I will never try it, but he's been bragging about them for years, no joke.
You can't do those things with StreetComplete, but you can add notes which other editors can -- and in my own experience, will -- address.
I love Aeron but sometimes like I like fold my leg and lay it on the edge of the base. I know it’s not ergo but I sometimes do it when laying back. It’s hard plastic unlike Steelcase Leap.

It bothered me so much, had to return the chair which was a huge hassle.

So even if you try to sit on it in a showroom, you gotta actually use it for a few days.
Perhaps I should explain why the halting problem is an issue.

In comp sci, the halting problem says we can never guarantee that, given some input, a program won't halt. "Halt" is another way of saying "stop without doing the intended thing," which is what we call a bug.

One of the ways this translates to everyday debugging is that humans cannot ever know the range of all possible inputs or conditions to a program. We don't have that ability any more than we can give someone a list of all the words that can be made with the letters A-Z.

If we cannot write down what all the possible inputs might be, we cannot be sure that one of them doesn't cause halting!

By the same token, as useful as they are, no set of regression tests can prevent all bugs for the same reason: it simply isn't possible to come up with a set of regression tests that is in any real sense "complete" (ie: ensures no halting).

The halting problem was proved mathematically by Alan Turing and applies to all Turing computers, so we know it applies to smart contracts. In fact, the inability of the developers to conceive of one possible input (a zero value from the oracle) is what led to halting in the case of IRON.

To make the problem worse, even knowing that halting (aka bugs) was a possible outcome (a likely outcome, even), not only did the company apparently not seek any outside code audit, they locked down the contract (because it's "law," lol) so that the code can't be fixed even though it's now known to be broken.

So there's the stupidest kind of programming ever. Smart contract is a name in the same vein as the Ministry of Peace in Orwell's 1984. It is anything but smart. It is known to have bugs (halting problem) and they cannot be fixed (locked down "by law," rotflmao).
> What is the purpose of ZFS in 2021 if we have hardware RAID and linux software RAID?

Others have touched on the main points, I just wanted to stress that an important distinction between ZFS and hardware RAID and linux software RAID (by which I assume you mean MD) is that the latter two present themselves as block devices. One has to put a file system on top to make use of them.

In contrast, ZFS does away with this traditional split, and provides a filesystem as well as support for a virtual block device. By unifying the full stack from the filesystem down to the actual devices, it can be smarter and more resilient.

The first few minutes of this[1] presentation does a good job of explaining why ZFS was built this way and how it improves on the traditional RAID solutions.

It is hard because unfortunately, lots of these federated websites seem to attract the sort of person who was banned from Reddit... and not being banned from Reddit is a pretty low bar.

Lemmy seems OK, though (and IIRC is actively trying to avoid that fate somehow).
Herman Miller Embody, worth every penny. Call wholesalers or office furniture suppliers in your town to see if you can get them at a discount.

This was after years of doing the normal 'buy $200 chair from local place every couple years' routine. I've had this chair now for probably 12 years with no issues at all, no wear either and I sit in it for 8-16 hrs a day too.
what are you even trying to do? Can't seem to duplicate this. Android/Chrome it offers up on first load the 'open in app' or continue in browser option, select continue in browser and life goes on fine.

When it's on land, they can make the gyro reliably point 'down'. Then at least during flight they know which way 'down' is.

Even when this paper was published, Backus' comments toward APL did it a massive disservice.

Modern descendants of the language have freed it entirely from "expression/statement" splits, and the collection of operators has grown richer. More than any other family, APLs today represent the most successful realization of function-level programming as yearned for in this paper.

Fascinating that AMD is not dominating in the arena of servers: That's where I would've expected the biggest adoption. They're generally more affordable than Intel especially in the arena of performance per watt, and the differences in feature parity for things like media playback have less of an impact there.

Can anyone give me insight into why Intel is so far ahead in this space?
From what I understand it's also not necessarily good to stand for prolonged periods of time. I believe frequently switching between sitting/standing is key

> It seems to me the best solution is to use screens, but that is not as sexy as machine vision.

There are lots of windows that don’t work with screens. For example some windows are pushed out as opposed to up, and the latching mechanism would conflict with the screen.
They wouldn’t be running windows on the Apple Silicon macs though, just the intel ones.
It stemmed from incorrect estimation of the position and thus of the velocity, which the helicopter attempted to correct.
This is a good way to think of it. We've had clothes for ages but they get boring. We seek different things that look unique because we want to be excited. Our brains didn't like staring at text all day so we started wrapping the text with fun colors and shapes and it spiraled from there.
My experience with RAVPower products has been great as well, but last time I ordered they literally put a card in the box saying "get a $35 gift card for giving us a 5-star review." I'm surprised it took this long for Amazon to do anything.
It really ought to be more humbling than it is, just how much popular and progressive moral authority was lined up behind temperance and Prohibition the first time. I understand now we have the narrative that the war on drugs was an explicit ploy of oppression but I have to believe that it was at least helped along by the same feature of our psyches that gave us the 1920s.
I've had my Aeron for 15 years (second hand, so it's probably 20 years old by now!). It's still as good as the day I bought it. The gas lift is going strong too, but I've had to replace the front pad every 5 years as they flatten over time.

Before I had the Aeron I'd replace my office chairs every 4 years or so. Not only have I saved money long term, their longevity makes them the better choice for the environment.

Enjoy your chair, you'll get a lifetime of use out of it.
What China did was to use market in exchange for access of technology. Many developing countries do not have such ambition, are happy to be in the same position forever.
Same. I remember trying all office chairs at ikea before buying one and even though the MALKOLM was one of the cheapest I found it most comfortable by a margin.
Yes, but consider if you have three laptops:

1. intel running Windows OS

2. AMD running Windows OS

3. intel Mac running Windows (various ways)

Then the intel percentage is (1+2)/(1+2+3) and the AMD percentage is 2/(1+2+3). But if Apple hardware is a significant portion of the benchmarks, then when intel Macs disappear, the fraction of systems that can submit the benchmark decreases. So the intel percentage decreases and the AMD percentage increases.

The denominator changes identically for intel and AMD.
Intermittent fasting ‘no magic bullet for weight loss’ says new study
Yield farms and yield farm aggregators come and go every day. Even established services deploy new contracts with different features arbitrarily.

There is no specific one.

But for example I was yield farming on Quickswap 4 months ago and nobody had even implemented the Polygon blockchain for tracking any interaction. Coinstats only did it like two weeks ago. Its bad.

I also don't reuse addresses most of the time, so other services have problems with tracking multiple addresses.

And finally I wish any service had an offline executable, because to me it defeats the purpose to give an online service all of my addresses under a single userid to watch even if they do track multiple addresses.
In practice, using a unique IDs is often not ideal, but it also rarely the wrong choice. I've personally never heard of a scenario where a unique ID caused difficult to fix issues (although I'm sure it's possible).

In contrast, a poorly though out natural key can cause a lot of headaches. This mostly occurs when your natural key isn't as unique as you thought, or if you have to change what you use as a natural key. The real world does not like to conform to our database constraints.
