Hey, most of the Linux-based "retro portables" are running a pure "libsdl with Linux framebuffer backend" userland. So it was at least the future of something.

Any tradeoffs?
I suspect HN gets an influx of readers the instant Reddit goes down, one of them being me.

Scrolling through their uptime history, it looks like this was the biggest incident in 3 years, perhaps longer,

https://www.redditstatus.com/uptime?page=14

I looked through the whole thing back to 2011/09 and there was never more than a "6 component partial outage". Only a few "1 component major outage":

The one just now was a "7 component major outage". Annoyingly, these links are going to be inaccurate in the future since they're paged from the present date.

My experience aligns very strongly with this. A local stack lets you add debug/print statements anywhere. There is no "magic", you can see the thing run on your machine. The freedom is unmatched.

Definitely agreed. Death should be a personal choice.
As relevant to the linked post (written by someone who later died of ALS [1]), there are a lot more mainstream medical research organizations who treat "death as a problem to solve". Treating deaths caused by ALS, cancer, heart disease, strokes, covid, etc. as a problem to solve is the focus of a huge amount of research.

I can absolutely attest to that with a relatively underpowered computer (4 gb of RAM). I can barely use 2 electron apps after which my computer grinds to a crawl (I’m running VSCode and Slack mostly). I have stopped using the discord desktop app and exclusively use the website now.
The endgame (a few hundred years from now) would be virtualizing consciousnesses and distributing them across space so only a cosmic disaster could end a being.

So if they still have those bitcoins, they're worth twelve billion dollars in theoretical value, assuming the market would cooperate.

It is unclear if the market would be able to execute a currency outflow of that size successfully without cratering value towards zero.

If they still have them, they could single-handedly demonstrate today whether the market can complete a currency exchange of this volume, and the outcome of the transaction would represent its maturity level at "one day of GDP" sized currency changes.

death is more complex than just being inescapable. Death is also a change agent that wipes the slate clean and makes place for the new. It's how all organic life adopts collectively.

Event sourcing can be represented as a chronological list of changes, replayed so that any list index represents a state.

How CRDTs work is different in different implementations. Some CRDTs use a timestamp to order all changes, thus making it essentially identical to an event sourced list.

Timestamp based ordering may not actually be the most ideal, especially for low trust environments where the timestamp can be spoofed.

Some apps might not last-write wins. In this case, timestamp largely becomes meaningless because there has to be some other way to resolve conflicts due to multiple clients making changes to the same piece of data. Some apps want one clear winner, other apps might want the two inputs to be merged, others (like git) explicitly ask the developer to resolve the conflict.

In this way CRDTs can diverge significantly from an ordered list of changes.

South Australia has been doing pretty well with a renewables-backed grid.

There was a smear campaign in 2016 regarding a state-wide blackout, caused by severe weather affecting the distribution & transmission infrastructure. [see #1] The incumbant political party used this as an opportunity to blame the renewable generators (and state government, from the "opposite side" of politics). [see #2]

The same severe weather event would have affected any power generator.

A lot of truth to this comment. I can’t believe the amount of money I wasted in my early 20s on…junk. Things that, with the benefit of hindsight, actually brought me no pleasure at all.

I’m glad I realised this, and I totally agree - once you realize that consumerism doesn’t materially improve your life, your “minimum income threshold” drops considerably.

For me, the biggest exception is travel, which really adds up if you want to take a couple of overseas trips per year.

I honestly don't think it is a complicated problem to solve when it comes to paid services. I'm making an assumption here, but I imagine as a matter of policy, every bank keeps on record if a bank account is local or foreign owned. And I'm also making an assumption that it wouldn't be a big reach for banks to share that information with payment services.

Following that, if you're using a local UK bank account, you should be able to access UK structured services. Yes, I'm sure it's not as simple as that, but I can't see such a system requiring a radical overhaul of how services are distributed. Of course dual passport holders will be net winners, but no system is perfect, and I can't imagine many people going to the trouble of getting a US passport just to watch reruns of The Sopranos.
China's ability to completely control the domestic narrative is really really underappreciated in my point of view.

Not that it is positive from a personal liberties standpoint, but in that sense that it is an incredible strategic asset. Imagine if the second world war had been fought today in the era of entertainment journalism, twitter reactionism, and professional punditry. It would be laughable. The war effort would stall before it began.

My grandfather talks to me about how he would enthusiastically walk the streets with his friends after school looking for chewing gum and cigarette wrappers in order to pull the aluminum foil out of the discarded packaging and send the resulting accumulated metal scraps to recycling centers to be made into fighter planes. Things like that would never happen today.

25% the country would insist that Hitler doesn't actually exist, 25% would say the Axis powers are actually doing the right thing and that Pearl Harbor was deserved, 25% would maintain that all calls for intervention are propaganda from the military industrial complex looking to line their pockets at the expense of the public purse, and the remaining 25% would be branded war-mongerers by everyone else.

China does not have that problem. Whatever the government in Beijing wants, ~1.4 billion humans also genuinely want.

Portland represents! That's why I moved here. I have a genetic disease that will eventually take me out slowly and painfully, and from the day I was diagnosed I've wanted to live in Oregon so that I could be in control of my own death. Some would argue that this is denying my loved ones (and our society in general) a natural death, which is supposed to be difficult because that is part of life. However, I believe two things separate us from the animals: our ability to accessorize, and efficiency.

"At another point in the discussion, a man spoke of some benefit X of death, I don't recall exactly what. And I said: "You know, given human nature, if people got hit on the head by a baseball bat every week, pretty soon they would invent reasons why getting hit on the head with a baseball bat was a good thing. But if you took someone who wasn't being hit on the head with a baseball bat, and you asked them if they wanted it, they would say no. I think that if you took someone who was immortal, and asked them if they wanted to die for benefit X, they would say no."" [0]

There's no (physics based) reason we have to die, just like there was no reason for all the deaths in child birth in early human history. It's a failure of our current capabilities.

It used to. As soon as you retired you started getting paid every month for the rest of your life. At 20 years you make 50% of your base pay, so you say you join at 18, 20 years is 38. You make it to E-8 and now you retire. That's currently around $2750 a month.

If you join now there is an age it kicks in I think, rather than immediate.

Plus you still have access to things like the commissary if you live near a base. As well as medical insurance for life.

So here's a fun fact about the "security" laws China forced down Hong Kong's gullet recently: they apply to everyone on the planet. They're vague and "subversion" pretty much includes anything you want to include. It's anything that makes the Chinese government or Chinese officials look bad, basically.

So, if you're not even a citizen of China and you're sitting in Europe or the USA and you make some critical post about China to such a degree that the Chinese government deems it "subversive" and you then make the mistake of transiting the Hong Kong airport, you can be arrested and sent to the Chinese mainland for trial.

Interestingly, Qatar has a similar law but it's more limited in scope at least. If however you have a job in Qatar, I'd highly suggest you don't say anything negative about Qatar or the royal family, even on a Facebook post while in a completely different country. People can and have been arrested for this.

Also, Qatar is one of the few countries that require an exit visa to leave the country so think twice about working there regardless of that.

But I digress. I think it's fair to say that any notion of Hong Kong independence or sovereignty is a thinly-veiled illusion at this point.
probably not fixed.

I live in Hong Kong. Arrived here right when the second wave of protests started, in 2018. The speed with which China is changing the face of the city since then has been incredible, if disheartening. In a mere three years, we went from having a free press, district council elections, a vibrant online community, a combative but reasonably effective LegCo.

All that is gone.

Head over to the South China Morning Post and see the comments in the articles. All dominated by mainland Chinese, possibly working for the central government. Companies are leaving in droves, taking valuable people with them. Schools are being told to teach National Security Law to kids as young as 5. Even international schools are facing the challenge of allowing discussion in the classroom, under the risk of breaking the NSL.

Last week, HK won a medal in fencing at the Olympics. During the medal ceremony, at a packed shopping mall, many people booed the Chinese anthem. They were deemed to be breaking the NSL and were arrested. FOR BOOING THE ANTHEM.

The National Security Law also prohibits any kind of chants during (now non-existent) protests. People then found a creative way to protest by holding out empty signs in the streets - turns out they're outlawed now too. Yes, empty signs break the National Security Law.

This city has been destroyed in the span of months. It's depressing and heart-breaking. I am moving out with my family next summer.
I've participated in storyboard brainstorm sessions (more on the design/drawing side) and the kind of asymmetrical energy you're talking about definitely exists.

US citizens' desire to fight in WW2 perhaps largely came from propaganda to begin with - maybe in the absence of propaganda most of them would have been fine with doing nothing to help Britain, France, etc. About 60% of US WW2 soldiers were drafted, not volunteers. So it is not so much a question of no propaganda in the past versus propaganda today, it is more of a question of more tightly controlled propaganda in the past versus more diverse propaganda today.
Valve's core audience consists of PC Gamers. Any PC Gamer has to be used to a little tinkering. It comes with using a PC instead of a console.

A Microsoft handheld would run less games that a Steam Deck with Windows because console exclusives like Horizon Zero Dawn are available on Steam but will never be on Xbox. An Xbox device also wouldn't support emulators or someone's existing Steam library.

I don't know to what extent it would be worth it for Microsoft to dabble in that area. PlayStation Vita didn't work out so well for Sony.
Tether's terms of service say they do not have to allow redemption.
This is correct. If you live in America and you say something that suggests Hong Kong should be independent or that the CPG shouldn't have authority here, you can get arrested when transiting via Hong Kong.
