Ask HN: Any vague estimation if peertube has lower carbon emissions?
I'm part of a small french group of technicians/engineers who tries to examine alternatives when attempting to transform the whole economy to limit carbon emissions. It's a very large subject.

Video traffic, would it be snapchat/youtube/netflix/vimeo/etc uses a lot of dedicated bandwidth with expensive servers which usually have a very good availability and reliability, but at the cost of servers and energy.

Peertube is a totally different model which doesn't really allow users to view a video with a similar quality or latency (the video might take more time to load), but it does work and the platform use client upload capabilities, which would be better if a video is very demanded.

The problem when studying carbon emissions of IT is that there are too many factors:

* equipment of the client

* equipment of the server (on top of housing cost, cooling costs, maintenance etc)

* equipment of the ISP

* Energy spent by the ISP/server/client

Those parameters are even more difficult to estimate in a P2P environment.

I'm curious if peertube would be more carbon/energy/bandwidth/hardware friendly in general. Do you also think that a P2P model would also be better for the environment, potentially or in reality?
Me too! My mother sent me to an enriched program on Saturdays, and one of the “classes” they had was called “Queries and Theories” after a very interesting game.

That class introduced me to Mathematical Recreations, Raymond Smullyan, and computing. We had a CARDIAC we played with, and later went to the University to write FORTRAN programs on punch cards.
They've done this, and the non-Huy Fong brands just aren't as good in an all-purpose hot sauce way.

Valentina black label is better for some things, though. It's not marketed as a sriracha sauce, just a Mexican hot sauce.
This seems really unlikely. It seems more likely that walls will go up and the good-weather nations will get very defensive. Bad-weather nations will either descend into chaos or adapt--some nations like the UAE and Singapore thrive under extreme heat, with sufficient technology and political stability.
I agree w/ you about the message they send (ie. it's pretty much hypocrisy).

But the inequalities were already there. It's not like if they stop flying private, they'll all of a sudden be less wealthy. At least they spend their money, instead of hoarding blindly (not that flying private changes this by much, I have to admit).
Perhaps in 2005 we were still able to call across browser frames and abusing the one thread per frame model.

async / await isn't really concurrency. It's a mechanism for picking up the job after something else has been done (perhaps like a callback). In a way it's been an advantage of Javascript: one or two threads do all the work in a timely way without all that messy thread scheduling and context switches.
This must be a poorly documented / communicated item that you must use an MS account to log into your system. You may have to jump through some hoops, but surely you could run something like a Powershell command to get past the GUI and do exactly what you want to do. Just like many people here would do with a Linux system. Maybe more of a PITA, but it would be worth the effort for me. And I bet there's some easy tricks.

There's a difference between "supported" and "possible." Add a layer of marketing and UI magic and you get a lot of confusion.

Edited to add: Just because it's a new OS, doesn't mean the guts of the thing went through huge changes. The ways you create an account is probably the same from 10 to 11. It's just the GUI which is changing.

Volatility is not an inherent property of a currency or an asset, but the result of market actions. Volatility will decrease in the long term, when more uncorrelated markets are traded in bitcoin.

Eventually, when everything is traded and priced in bitcoin, bitcoin becomes an objective unit of value. At that point bitcoin is the only thing that is not volatile, and volatility of everything else is measured against it.
People try that with ketchup all the time. It barely moves the needle. Sriracha, like Ketchup, is a 'cheap' product at this point. If people are going to spend 4 times as much they want something fancier.
>What's the UK equivalent to Lambda School? The French equivalent?

France has *tons* of vocational dev training, through a variety of systems. They are mostly split between :

- Public technical schools (ran by the state) that deliver degrees with ECTS credits (pan-European degree system) over 2/3 years.

- Technical training schools, mostly private, that deliver titles validated by the Ministry of Work. ie. industry certifications only valid domestically. Over 6/12 months.

French engineering schools are a completely different beast and would be considered part of the university system in the US. They issue masters degrees over 5 years valid pretty much everywhere and the title of Engineer (it's illegal in France to call yourself an engineer without it !).

I've not used Vue, but how does this solve the problem? In most of my own sites, whatever preprocessor (eg markdown -> html) I use is instructed to replace mathematics with something like <span class="math">z = \frac{x}{y}</span>, then after the page has loaded a small loop runs KaTeX on all eligible spans. This results in some small amount of jumping, but I've found anchors to still work quite well.

Here in Finland I can buy proper Huy Fong Sriracha in the grocery store. A few different flavors and types, too.

Edit: I am wrong on the internet. I just checked my bottle in the fridge and it is GoTan [1] Sriracha, from the Netherlands. With a green cap, too. I feel kinda ripped off, tbh.

Because then the students would have to spend additional time to navigate Wikipedia culture and maintainers. That is not the course goal at all. They would also ended up fighting among themselves if multiple students ended up picking similar topics.
I always wonder about the morality questions. This is like a lab experiment for subjective morality.

For the sake of the experiment, let's assume the sci-fi writers are right, and eating animals will eventually be considered immoral. This is an extreme stance at the moment (hello PETA) but let's assume it will eventually be accepted as the only moral stance.

How long will it be between the introduction of lab-grown meat until killing animals for food is banned? Is this a generational thing (so older people still consider eating animals to be acceptable, while younger people do not), or is it a country-wide thing (countries move to ban eating animals one by one, driven by a general shift in moral attitude), or what? How does this change in morality propagate through society?

Will we get to the point where statues of now-famous people are pulled down because they ate animals? Assuming some variant of "cancel culture" exists then, will that act retroactively and currently-lionised people get cancelled because they are carnivores, even though the current culture that they exist in considers it acceptable?

Will we see clever re-interpretations of religious texts dealing with the eating of animals? Will we get religious divisions between different interpretations? Will some people refuse to accept the general moral stance on eating animals because their religious text says it's acceptable? How does this interaction between objective religious morality and subjective secular morality work?

It's going to be really interesting to watch this unfold.

Want better OS choices? Don't just sit down and take it. Go try Linux distros, file bugs, code fixes, and don't accept excuses. If an open-source maintainer is blocking progress, hard fork and keep rolling. I feel that the Linux dev community has become stagnant and insular and we need more people from the outside to get involved. Could be you.
Same here - I remember being excited about Vista and 7. Now I just dread update announcements.

It’s not rich nations that are the problem. They have and continue to drastically reduce their CO2 output (China not withstanding). The problem is poorer countries that are just now coming online with electricity. Coal is the cheapest way to do that.

The uncomfortable truth here is that if we want to stop this, we need to stop these undeveloped countries from…well…developing. Which we aren’t going to do because we aren’t monsters. So what now?
The secret is to gently tap down the quantity of product from the neck of the bottle before closing. Let air replace the clogged nozzle to break the tension and let the remainder drip down into the mass of the bottle. Be careful not to spray product upward!

If you're feeling fancy, you can also rinse the green nipple with water (after clearing of product). I do this periodically (every week or two). I might be a bit neurotic, but it works for me. This has alleviated all of the Sriracha leakage issues in my house.

I tried to go back to Linux in one of my laptops recently (old x220 I want to use for ECU programming). I used to be a gentoo user before their wiki disappeared.

It seems to me like Linux is going through a growing phase with several growing pains.

Why are my graphics working worse out of the box with common Intel Graphics than back in the day?
Bluetooth is a terrible experience.
Wifi doesn’t work 60% of time and I don’t know why, the UI won’t tell me.

These used to be issues in the past but I figured that 15 years of progress would’ve changed.
However I am aware that all these problems are open and it’s up to me to fix them and I feel no entitlement or have any expectations out of a free and open product. I wish I was better equipped to assist in fixing them myself.

Unfortunately I ended up putting Windows back in that laptop. For a while I used it as a hackintosh and to be honest it worked better with High Sierra than it did with Mankato or Ubuntu.
Just use Pro and tell it you're joining the domain...
You're probably not going to be able to use that bit for bit copy later.

I did something similar with my last linux laptop, and none of the workarounds to put the partitions back worked when I needed a quick windows test machine.
It's not deflationary. The supply will increase for the next hundred years at least. The odds favor that this inflation, coupled with a lack of capital return, will underperform real investing.

The proper comparison for "investing" in bitcoin is investing in stocks, many of which ARE deflationary by decreasing their shares outstanding every year.

People are no more incentived to save by bitcoin than they are by real investment. To reiterate, it's been sound money mgmt to defer consumption and invest for the past few hundred years at least.

The payment to bitcoin miners comes from bitcoin holders. At current prices it is billions of USD per year, paid out by inflation to burn fossil fuels. I'd rather get paid on my investment than pay.
They don't produce beef yet:

> At this point, the facility is already able to produce lamb, chicken, and pork products without using genetic modification or animal serum. Future Meat says that it will soon also be able to start production on beef, too.
This is the first I've heard that there is a story behind it. I've got a bottle of it in the fridge right now. Perhaps some advertising wouldn't hurt.
That’s concurrency without in-process parallelism.
For what it's worth, I used to do exactly this with one or two programs on Linux. I think I had the most success with dvgrab. It even can control the Digital8 camera and rewind and whatnot. It should work with any Firewire card that works on Linux as well.
What language has this behavior by default?
> they dont even really know how the file system works

I wouldn't say this is a problem in the bad sense. That's Ok. Almost nobody (except low-level system engineers) really knew how the file system works ever. I always believed it's unreasonable to ask people to learn about file system internals.

What I really consider a problem which should never have happened and should be fixed ASAP is Windows hiding file name extensions by default.

And people having an idea of how a DOC file and a TXT file are different, what do TXT and HTML files have in common and why zipping MP4 videos doesn't save space feel a blessing for me to meet among non-devs.

> just log in to your ms account on a new laptop and wait a few hours while everything syncs up via onedrive and its like every computer is your home computer

And this is a convenience we have to reproduce. It almost is there - you can add a Microsoft account in Ubuntu but it still requires an extra step of setting a local user up and signing in with it first.
> it is only the derivatives products that have been banned.

This isn’t correct. It’s any regulated asset that’s been banned. Well... has always been banned. That includes derivatives but also “cryptoassets”. The distinction comes down to whether the FCA considers the product a “security token”, “e-money”, or currency. The first two being prohibited for sale by or through Binance (or any unauthorized entity) without first obtaining the FCA’s permission as they’re regulated products.

More info about the distinction here: https://www.fca.org.uk/firms/cryptoassets
The last couple generations of POWER chips from IBM have implementations of decimal32, decimal64, and decimal128. To my knowledge, no other big-name, general-purpose CPU has these.

To "implement decimal numbers" in .net on x86 hardware simply means writing a custom decimal implementation in software.

JS had implicit integers since the beginning. It has had arrays of integers (what's necessary for fast decimal implementations) since BEFORE the release of WebGL a decade ago. It has also added BigInt this year. Just like .net, there's decimal libraries available if you know to use them.

https://github.com/MikeMcl/decimal.js/

The real takeaway is that modern processors should definitely add hardware support for decimal numbers.
It requires an incredible amount of arrogance to say how somebody else should identify.
agreed, it was on of the better parts of world-building in the movie.
Nuclear is dead. Back when it was new, it still had something to offer, but today it's a complete dead end, for practical and economical reasons.

It's not getting built because it's hard to make money from it anymore. If it was a solid money making proposition you'd see lots of resources being thrown into overcoming any activist resistance, and shoring up any concerns. Compare this with oil. Ecologically awful, but it makes lots and lots of money and as a result it's not having the same issues.
Try a spoonful of toum.
I find the distinction far less interesting than most people. I thing it's easier to think of parallelism simply as an interesting special case of concurrency, and to think of runtimes and systems that are "concurrent" but can't run literally simultaneously, like Javascript or Python, as simply accidents of history not worth specially writing into the definitions of our terms. Every year "concurrent" code that can't be scheduled to run on multiple CPUs simultaneously is less and less interesting. And I don't anticipate any new language coming out in the future that will try to be "concurrent but can only run on one CPU", so this meaning is just going to fade into history as a particular quirk of some legacy runtimes.

No, I do not consider any runtime that can't run on multiple CPUs simultaneously to have "good" concurrency support. It would, at best, be bad concurrency support. Better than "no" support, sure, but not good in 2021. If a new language came out with that support, nobody would call it "good" support, they'd call it failing to even raise the table stakes a new language needs nowadays.
Carbon sequestration.
It's a matter of perception. It'd be like having an obese personal trainer lecturing you on proper diet and exercise. Everything they're saying might be true, but at best it comes off as hypocritical, at worst that they're getting paid to lie to you.
How does that work? You get money just for being a mother?

At least the way it works in the countries I’ve lived in is that if you’re on the dole it doesn’t matter if you’re a mother (or a father for that matter)—you still have the obligation to find a job.

And as a man you can totally chose family over career, in the same way that women do. There’s a social stigma against it, of course. And it can be economically difficult—but that’s the case for women as well.

Of course, the pressure for a man to act as a provider and to focus on his career is very real. I think laurent92 isn’t wrong about the pressures men face. It’s weird though to blame that on feminism. I think feminism already helped chip away at the pressure. A stay-at-home dad should be acceptable to a feminist, more so than to someone who never gave pause to these questions. But in the end, it’s not feminism’s job to take care of men’s mental health, that’s really something that requires a movement of its own.

YouTube’s “ContentID” system came about at roughly the same time as Vevo (music videos on demand) became a thing. My guess is that it was implemented to appease the rights holders so they’d put their videos on YouTube.
Ask HN: How to grow after 10 years in the industry?
Hey!

- I've been working for around 10 years

- half of that was as a software engineer and the other half as a VP of Engineering

- I am good with people and I really love my industry, I don't consider myself at work

- I make something like 65k after taxes

- I live outside the states (not a US citizen) but I've been working directly with US companies (international contractor) for the last 7 years

- I have a family, 2 kids and my wife is pregnant

I love my work, love my team. I really enjoy it

When I look back at the last 3 years, I don't see a clear growth. I try to do things in the right way, go deeper with what I do (read books, and articles) and improve my skills

I feel that my career is steady and not growing fast enough at this time

I am not sure about how to move forward, but I am thinking about:
- should I look for a new adventure with some real challenges?

- should I stay and keep growing myself?

- am I underpaid? I mean, will I be able to get a better salary if I find a better fit?

- should I pursue a master's degree?

I appreciate your feedback and help!
Semantic MathML is an absurdity, like marking up the tree diagram of all your English sentences, and linking all words to a URL with their dictionary definition. In short, the sort of think only the semweb wonks could have dreamed up.
But this is not a good example.

Either this should be modelled so that A can directly reference C to start with, or indeed A has to go through B but can do so to get a reference to C (this does not break encapsulation in itself, it depends on the specific relationships)

It's impossible to avoid nested data structures because these are simply the natural consequence of the system's complexity. For instance, a book is made of sheets, pages, chapters, sentences, illustrations, etc. entities with nested relationships.
if you wanted to retain that, you should separately boil it down. Or just add sugar while cooking. The water is the problem that makes everything slow.
only rich people say this. For poor and middle income, yes universities are vocational. at least in my part of the world. But I've heard lots of privileged people say this, and only them... which is true for them is not true for the pop in general.

I suppose any of those would work, but I like that idea of lighting it and frantically trying to read it while it's burning. Or maybe a sophisticated read-while-burning machine that continuously burned that page you had just finished along with something to stir the ashes.

Foreign intelligence agencies would develop their own discrete sniffer machines to detect faint traces of soot on people to identify potential intelligence personnel. Counter-intelligence would work on psyops campaigns to promote the health benefits of soot & encourage people to use new deodorants and other body grooming products laced with soot to throw them off soot sniffers. The most advanced burn-while-reading devices would have intricate ventilation and ash-isolation chambers with furnaces that burn hot enough to vaporize the ash to the sub-micron level. Portable versions would occasionally malfunction and spontaneously combust the bearer, fueling that particular subset of the tinfoil hat community.

It would be an entire soot-based intelligence community arms race, hilariously ridiculous and immensely fascinating.

You cannot do any real work on them.

This is obviously and objectively untrue, and this attitude contributes to the exact problem that’s being pointed out above.

You can make a decent and convincing argument that consumer devices should be more open without trivialising the (very much real) work that many, many millions of users do with them.
You're right, you definitely don't want giant snow piles on your roof of your house, and yes, sloped roofs will help you avoid giant snow piles.
