> China does have climate policy and it’s and issue that they do not ignore. They plant trees at the interface of deserts to prevent their expansion, they produce 80% of the worlds solar panels. China is the world's leading country in electricity production from renewable energy sources, with over double the generation of the second-ranking country, the United States.

Sounds like you are avoiding the core question surrounding the real issue at hand - China and India are among one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas. There is no policy that can change that fact.

"green" hydrogen is a greenwashing term being pushed heavily by oil and gas to make people think that hydrogen is currently low pollution, sustainable material/energy storage device.

Effectively all hydrogen currently produced, and this will be true for decades, is from splitting methane.
My ex-wife (who was with me for decades) tagged me as an existentialist early on, and I guess it was true. I don't really understand how we can see the universe another way, without lying to ourselves: bad things happen, and nothing is done about it. What Christian theologians have called "The Problem of Evil" leads me to see the universe as uncaring, indifferent.

The only way out of it that has worked for me is to care about other people (and animals, etc.) -- to focus on the small things I can try to make better.
Why not bring a chair you like into work?
I'm sure people who are not aware will just search for it in their favorite search engine and find out it's a joke.

What it might filter out are people who don't find this joke funny, and might decide not to apply (and on the countrary it will catch the attention of people finding this funny and concluding Signal must be a cool place to work).

Getting devs attention on a job offer is hard these days, so I guess spicing it a bit is fair.
I feel you there. Especially with the creativity stuff.
Bloody hell, how much non-stop driving are you doing? If you're driving a solid 12 hours a day, that is only three 18-minute breaks, one of which is your lunch break.
The main thing I have always had is a mostly dedicated room I can close when I’m working. The room itself has varied between one with a nice big window, a basement room where I was basically staring at a wall, and variations in between. I have an IKEA office chair, an electric standing desk and a Bluetooth headset, the latter two allow me to vary positions and walk around when stuck in endless video calls.

Even if the room is functionally shared (these days the room in question also houses a tv so it doubles as our TV room after hours) we are disciplined and use the room for the proper purpose at the proper time, so the work-life distinction is well-kept and that helps a lot with the “it’s easy to drift back to work” thing.

Thanks for sharing your struggles and laying out some of the ‘action’ pathways.

Also really appreciated your follow up with the caveat for antidepressant use with bipolar. Many people don’t know this and hiding it from your family can literally be life threatening.

Regarding psilocybin, I have seen lots of cautions regarding use by bipolar folks. Most of the studies specifically avoid including bipolar so far.

Clearly an n=1, but have you had success with it (if you feel comfortable sharing)?
That's of concern but solutions to these problems have been discussed in the original post.
This includes:

- Have a custom difficulty for every single passport so that it wont be profitable to extract the private key. Let's say a passport has already mined a block, then it will be twice as difficult for that same passport to mine a second one.

- Make it so that 51% of the countries have to collude in order to run a double spend.

Now think about the advantages:

- No Botnets mining it.

- Potentially many more "small" miners (individuals). Not huge mining farms somewhere in China or Island.
You know, the Balkans are in Europe, not North America. So why did Clinton have to get involved at all?

Oh, because the UN and European member soldiers are afraid of casualties. Silly me.

Not GP.

Yes, it is, because that means that the algorithm will produce that copyrighted code regardless of the intent of the person who makes it misbehave. People could both accidentally and "accidentally" make it reproduce copyrighted code. In the first case, it's unintentional. In the second, how could you prove it's intentional?

Because of this whole mess, I am actually adding clauses to FOSS licenses that I am writing, just to ensure that my copyright on my code is not infringed by code laundering.
Some people may genuinely fear that is going away since there is a lot of talk about hot-desking at the very least. Not having to pay for offices also has its advantages.

Finally it adds to signal, without pro-office articles one would think that everybody hates working from the office.

If the inmates built the prison and moonlit as prison guards, yes. The unfortunate truth is that Google has built the modern surveillance state’s technical apparatus.

Yes, they have at times pushed back. But many may not see that enough.
The general public have shown time and again that they don't really care about privacy. And the movies have convinced them that the government can monitor anything at any time already (but only use it for catching crooks), so what's to lose?

The minority of the population who are tech-savvy enough to know this is going to be a complete disaster are unimportant in politician's eyes - no-one listens to us nerds in the corner doing nerd stuff.

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why. – Mark Twain

Like a PO (purchase order) number?
How did we come so far in a society where people assume no personal agency and responsibility- an entire population led by the nose on their whims and desires for social 'petting'. This trend is deeply saddening, and it seems like the more 'coddling' we build into the web, the more people retreat into these agony/dopamine factories called apps when they need stimulus, whether it be positive or negative. How many times have you seen people engaged in the heat of a flamewar or some pointless ideological argument only for them to repeatedly distract themselves and re-engage?

I look forward to the studies that may come in the next generation that examine the outcomes of these apps, app networks, and the mechanisms employed to elicit more user fellowship, and at what cost, both emotionally and physically but also socially. No clue where we go from here, but what's happening now isn't good, and it's hard to see how people actively engaged in it will ever realize the negative effect it is having on our future enough to put a stop to it or at least engage in a discussion around curtailing some of these patterns.
That one has annoyed people for a long time. See https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/48388.

I'm pretty sure if you have the time to make a PR to fix it, it would be welcome. But I'm guessing it's non trivial or it would have been fixed by now - probably a quirk of the code generation logic.
yes we can. We live in a more northern environment, necessitating high CO2 emissions. Maybe not three times, but factor in the fact that Canadians are so distantly spread out adds more weight to the necessity of Canadians having higher CO2 emissions per-capita than China. It's not apples to apples comparison.

You mean that Google is a "partner" because it indexes OSINT?
It applies to a lot of software actually, I've found that one of the implications of developing in the open is that people feel free to take whatever version they want and treat it the same as a release. The DVCS appears to have exacerbated this because people so often just attach their scripts to pull from "master" instead of respecting tagged releases.

I've more than once discovered an in-development version of a library I'm working on appear as a package in Debian, for example. Suddenly I'm feeling responsible to maintain backward compatibility with an unreleased version because it's now "released" as far as users go. Of course what happened is that I asked the maintainers to remove it and then they never packaged any new versions of my software because of the interpersonal friction it caused.
I have had the exact opposite reaction. I work remotely and have for almost 30 years. I live deep in the forest with no neighbors for interaction. I love it.

This week was my first trip to town for errands where I was not mandated to wear a mask. In less than a week, social distancing has become a thing of the past. Life looks completely normal again, and I hate everything about it.

I still wear my mask and keep my distance, but I got the distinct impression that this will not be tolerated by the majority for much longer. When most people stop doing something that was “normal”, it is longer viewed as normal; our abrupt population-wide shift seems to emphasize this perceived deviance in the eyes of many. Consequently, I felt even more like an outsider than usual, even though there were a handful of others wearing masks.

Even before the pandemic, I needed the extra bubble of space. I actively avoided crowds. The pandemic created a world that I enjoyed greatly, and I feel a tragic loss that it is now past and may never be seen again.

You may feel liberated and whole again, but I feel like I am back to living in Hell. I face existential dread at the very prospect of going to town. One man’s pleasure is another man’s poison.
> tests that cannot be run locally

Fossil just got a "patch" command to help with cases like that: https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/patchcmd.md

Previously, the standard solution was to commit work with potential cross-platform issues to a short-lived experimental branch, so you can check out the branch on all your test machines and try it there before merging it down to trunk.

> I'm not willing to sit through for the whole 1 hour the test suite runs for

Hour-long test suite runs are a problem in and of themselves. That sets the shortest period of time your development organization can react to a test failure. Look to any application of control theory — feedback systems, process control, OODA loops... — for what happens when you have a slow-reacting feedback loop.

One of those "guys who wrote the book" on Continuous Delivery covered the problem well here: https://www.davefarley.net/?p=218

You either need multiple levels of testing so you get some feedback quickly, or you need some sort of parallel build system that breaks the tests up so that the whole set completes in a reasonable amount of time. Without that, you're going to have people either sitting around waiting on test runners or skipping the tests entirely.

> One gets things done

Effort and resources spent on a massively parallel CD buildbot sounds like a good way to get things done to me. Computers are cheap; developer time is expensive.

> That's usually because the app is just a shell around the site, designed to collect data and show notifications.

I think the real reason sites like Reddit want you to install their app is that they can't both have fancy JS and speed.

Web browsers are ridiculously complex and slow, and slow means bad UX. An app is much simpler (and thus faster) than a JS-heavy "web app" on Chromium/whatever (which is many millions of lines of code).

HN is fine with just a website and doesn't need an app because it doesn't have fancy JS.
Very cool to see a team of 25 students put this together and get prototypes made. I wish opportunities like these were available back in my college days.

The headline is getting slightly ahead of the actual performance. Reaching Cortex-A76 performance is their goal after many more iterations. Their current implementation is not there yet, but that shouldn't detract from the magnitude of their achievement and their contribution to the open-source world:

> This culminated with an 8-core prototype built based on Yanqihu (雁栖湖) architecture using TSMC’s 28nm process with the processor running up to 1.2 or 1.3 GHz that should be taped out this month. But plans have been made to tape out a new prototype based on Nanhu (南湖) by the end of the year, using SMIC’s 14nm process allowing up to 2 GHz frequency, and further iterations of the architecture will aim at rivaling Arm’s Cortex-A76 processor.

RISC-V is an exciting development in the SoC world. We're starting to see some of HiFive's boards trickle out into the wild. The performance is good, but it's not quite as groundbreaking as many of the headlines make it out to be. The most exciting part of all of this is that ARM has more competition and we get to see some open-source contributions like this.
Right now Apple doing the right thing is costing them money. I think that this is something that many do not understand about regulations. To force all companies to do the right thing creates a level field were to compete in quality and price instead of on how much abuse can be inflicted upon the users before they quit (quite a lot probably as there are only 2 real options).

Modern AI seems more like machine-assisted collage (or pictures, code, text, etc.) than anything else. Someone (of some other algorithm) needs to be added to ensure that the whole thing makes sense. The big problem here is that when an artist creates a collage he/she knows the sources. Here provenance is lost.

[1] Collage (/kəˈlɑːʒ/, from the French: coller, "to glue" or "to stick together";[1]) is a technique of art creation, primarily used in the visual arts, but in music too, by which art results from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.

yes agreed. sqlite is tiny in contrast to the kernel. a marvel, created by a small group at a steady pace.

in contrast to that the linux kernel patch review workflow lives on history rewrites until all reviewes agree.

and most projects I know, kernel included, after this allignment then freeze the history.

so its not a "history rewrite all the time" but a commit cleanup rewrite, before final acceptance.
in "feature branches", if you wish, and just until the history is helpful for future readers. who cares about typo fixes? for heavens sake, amend them...

My App Isn't Working Well: Now What?
I think the poster's employment is just context. The "inmates" here are the tech companies being held hostage by the NSA.

But I'm not sure I really agree. At this point "bedfellows" seems like an apt description, given how feeble and ineffective their opposition (certainly publicly, anyway) to it seems to have been.
I think over the past decade, Google has proven that it is definitely on the “evil” side when it comes to data mining.

If you have problems with people naming Google together with the likes of Apple and Microsoft in terms of data sharing with the NSA, perhaps you should reconsider your choices regarding your employer.

To be clear, I’m quite neutral towards Google, but I don’t think you have any right to be offended by OP’s comment.
If that's true, then it's doesn't take a genius to sugget a multi-pronged strategy.

2) Import-tax the f@ck out of them, unless they comply with regulations.

3) Goto (1).

I did my engineering degree in the UK, and it was mostly theory. I did do a placement as well, but the course itself seemed to be a tour of various science subjects, plus math.

I mean I built a working radio and a mini bridge in my first year, but you didn't get credit for anything other than the exams.

All in all it seemed like a whole bunch of vignettes. Here's how structures work, here's how electric circuits work, here's Navier-Stokes, here's some data structures, this is thermodynamics. Just a whole load of things that would be easy by themselves, individually, but piled high so that time management is the real issue.

This statement seems a bit funny because in order to have a good idea that they cheated, you would have also had to been analyzing the game with the chess engine.

Regardless, unless you truly an amazingly player, nearly any chess engine made in the last 15 years will destroy you and incremental improvements on stockfish have absolutely not effect on that.

Likely a warning shot from the CCP that they are still at the mercy of China and need to remain loyal. CCP did damage to Ant before their IPO, now doing damage to Didi after their IPO.

It means any company in China need to diversify overseas so they aren't at the mercy of the CCP. But on the flip side, any app you install from China you'll need to keep in mind they are at the mercy of the CCP.

Maybe it's best to just install apps from Europe...
