I've recently started implementing a VM for Scheme [1] and was already envisioning to maybe add Clojure at some point. I'm writing it in plain C, since I don't see much reason to use C++ for the VM itself, and I like the simplicity and transparency of C. Also, I'm hoping to prove security at some point and C may make that easier (support from tooling like proof assistants). I don't think C++ would help enough to avoid security pitfalls by itself, unless one accepts the result to be very slow. But the VM does compile as C++, and complex data structures like HAMT may really better be written in C++, so I don't think I mind that. I think the approach to take for all speed-sensitive objects would be for them to be integrated directly with the GC (allocated from the GC heap, and traced via an object specific method).

Let me know if you'd like to discuss this more.

FidoNet didn't really mandate syncing once per day. It required the nodes to sync at least that often, and established a common hour for each zone to allow direct node-to-node connections for that purpose; but even in late 90s, larger nodes would already sync more often in practice.

FWIW FidoNet is still around, although most connections seem to be over IP these days.
Ok, I take back superlinear, but log utility says that an extra $500 when you earn $1k is like earning an extra $2500 when you earn $5k, but I claim it is more like earning say $1000 when you earn $5k (so not linear but not really log either—more like square root)

I mean if you want to foster anti-america content all you really need to do is leave TikTok alone. It’s my generation’s version of Tumblr only on a bigger scale. You don’t really need manipulation when the user-base skews young, activist, and unironically anti-capitalist.

Which I think is awesome personally but I get how some people will see all of that as huge red flags.
>But if the currently-working people are unable to support the retired ones, no financial magic is going to fix that.

Well, there is a way to work around this: to invest into foreign assets. In other words, domestic retirees will be supported by people working abroad. This approach certainly has its risks, but even before that the modern US is the biggest world debtor, not creditor.
We used to go to Red Robin at least once a month. It would cost us about $30-35 to feed all 3 of us before tip. We stopped going regularly and recently went back on a whim. Our bill was for $60 for 3 burgers and (non-alcoholic) drinks, still before tip. Nevermind that they were obviously running on a skeleton crew. I can go to a fancier place like cowfish/bad daddies for a better burger and better experience that actually costs less, or go "cheap" to five guys or culvers or freddies.

I'm not sure what their reasons are for raising their prices so much compared to 5-6 years ago, but it will probably be a long time before we go back, the prices are just too high compared to other options.
Social Security is solvent if you remove the income cap. Right now, if you make $140k annually, you pay into social security as much as Jeff Bezos does.

You'd also have to figure out how to eliminate other tax loopholes at the same time, like taxing unearned income from investment at a far lower rate than earned income from actual work.

Water is the biggest challenge. All the city's waste water will need to be recycled. That's doable, but to compensate for evaporation they might also need to pipe in water from coastal desalination plants if they cannot harvest enough rain. That's a lot harder.

MMT says that taxes exist primarily to create demand for a currency. The government doesn't need you to give it money because it is the source of money.

You'll know the economy is neat 100% because inflation will kick in.
Domestic companies like Facebook and Google are already doing all the censorship, manipulation, and tracking I'd expect from the Chinese. Why should I care at this point?
Yes, it's probably too late. Or so I've heard.

Chia is like Bingo. Generating the Bingo cards can put a lot of wear on an SSD, but once you have the bingo cards to fill up whatever space you have, you can play for nearly free.

I haven't done the calculation myself, but I've read that it's no longer worthwhile to generate new cards. If so, that means most of the damage has already been done. It's a sunk cost.

But the people who are already in the game can keep playing indefinitely. If prices are too low to even do that, they could back up to tape and go offline for a while.
All Ponzi schemes collapse, the growth colleges experienced in the past led them to be overly optimistic and make promises they can no longer meet. The falling debris from the collapse is already happening, as the wave of unbreakable and unpayable student debt imprisons a generation.

I was referring to the Bloomberg article, you can turn off that incredulity-drive now.
> Third, Paragon's repository has commit messages which lack information, like "Merge branch 'torvalds:master' into master."

> Torvalds said that "Linux kernel merges need to be done properly." He added: "That means proper commit messages with information about what is being merged and why you merge something. But it also means proper authorship and committer information etc. All of which github entirely screws up."

100% agreed with this. On a related note I truly despair a little when people insist on blanket "squash everything" workflows where the source control UI defaults to (or has been configured to only allow) squash merges.

It goes from one extreme of "removing wip and todo commits from the history" to "remove commits almost entirely and lose all the context". I'm guilty of the first one, but I could locally squash to remove the messier commits but instead the nuclear option is picked.
Probably something in the realm of new visible light communications technology or security research.

Is TFS no longer considered a competitor? Feels like it should have been the first mentioned here. Not saying TFS is problem-free, of course.
> No, the rest of the company shouldn't be required to enter the complex and esoteric world of Git and fire up a terminal + a bloated code editor and deal with merge conflicts just so they can collaborate on a simple text doc.

Instead, they just won't update the doc at all and will pester the kind of person who does know how to use git until they do it for them. Then the doc will sit there dormant and un-updated until the process repeats.

> a bloated code editor

Have you ever used Confluence? SMH.

All those defending Atlassian need to go read this other current front page hn article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28414308 and probably lots of other articles about good documentation.

To be fair, I understand what you are saying, but the problem is you are trying to meet the needs of suits, while I'm trying to meet the needs of technical teams. I can acknowledge that git can be daunting for suits, and probably not the correct method for them to write docs, (e.g., I'm not saying force the suits to use git, even though, with a web interface like GHE or gitlab etc, this is actually quite easy and visually intuitive, no terminal or (laughing) "bloated code editor" required) but it seems the "suits side" of this argument doesn't want to acknowledge that the needs of technical teams aren't being met when they force their lowest common denominator tool on the entire org.

I think we should also be clear that the proof systems do distribute control differently.

POW requires large investments and knowledge (to create a mining infrastructure). POS is a lot easier for people to get involved. Even though the wealthy can just invest more in POS systems there is still a more level playing field as they do not need the logistics of building mining factories and all that. Any wealthy person can simply invest. This dynamic creates the potential for a more distributed network than the POS system, although it still is biased towards the wealthy class. I'd say that this is still more fair (far from being fully fair) than Chia's system where you need hardware and technical knowhow. You're essentially making the space more competitive. Then you have PiCoin's "Proof of click" where you're just proving you can click a button every 24 hours. Wealthy still get control as they can get people to be the "sub-miners" (earning team/pyramid scheme) that normal people can't achieve. Though this is fairly easy to emulate. This still allows the wealthy to just get wealthier.

I think there is still a long way to go to determine the most fair system, but just because there is some consolidation doesn't mean that the systems are equally exploitable by a wealthy class. Ether2 is more decentralized than BitCoin, although there is a fair amount of consolidation. I doubt we will end up with a fully decentralized system (by any proof system) but the question is rather how do we make a proof system that has sufficient competition that it becomes difficult for a single entity to take control? POS is better than POW in this respect and we should note that. But we do need something better than POS.

The article does not make these distinctions and does undermine the questions within the cryptocurrency communities. It is a difficult problem to solve but we do need to be clear that the different proof systems aren't equally centralized. There's probably no way to prevent the wealthy from continuing to get wealthier from these systems, but the question is if a blockchain can become sufficiently decentralized that meaningful collusion will be near impossible to make. We are seeing steps in that direction.
From across the Atlantic it sounds like US national debt is often brought up by Internet libertarians as to why the US can't afford basic healthcare and welfare for its citizens.

It's manipulative strategy that takes advantage of people wrongly thinking that national debt is like personal debt.

There are plenty of countries with higer national "debt" as % of GDP and with a higher quality of life than the US:

Yeah. Any mobile network access is basically a beacon for your location but I doubt there's a very good way of getting around that. My main use cases for the smartphone are pretty much occasional messaging, the banking application, GPS/maps and listening to music. Even though Spotify is more convenient than I'd like to admit I think that portion can be handled easily with a portable mp3 player. I'm pretty unsure about how I want to handle the rest though.

The important thing about inflation is to realize you can't print foreign money.

So if your trade + investment balance remains favourable, it's not a problem. If there's a major flight of investors (to where?), capital, or a thing you must import at any price (usually oil), then inflation kicks in even without money printing.

The US need not worry about inflation until a bigger more stable economy comes along, which is a long way off.
I'm gonna guess you know much about the history of MMT, because it was created as a description of how money works in the US by a guy that spent his career on a trading desk.
Many are, and it feels bothersome to forget how to speak your native language sometimes. But it's not just the language that erases the culture, it's the actual cultural content and the overwhelming dominance of big players in the market. The entire country has ~5.5 million people, we lose in population to any number of random cities you might pick.

As for the latter: Why do you think localist-populist parties are on the rise all across Europe? A lot of people very much worry about drowning in the tide of homogenizing globalism.
This is a portmanteau nobody needs and few people want. I've not heard the term before and hope it doesn't catch on. It is cumbersome.
The amount of XCH (Chia's currency) generated is a constant 64 Chia every 10 minutes. You can find this under the Chia Business Whitepaper (https://www.chia.net/assets/Chia-Business-Whitepaper-2021-02...) in the section "Post-launch Chia Emission Schedule". If you have a bigger disk that is filled with plots, then you are increasing the security of the network and thereby increasing the odds that you will win the block reward.

For example, if you had 36EiB of space filled with plots then you would be equal to the entirety of the current Netspace of the Chia Network. (https://www.chiaexplorer.com/blockchain/blocks) So you would win the reward half the time and the rest of the network would win the reward the other half of the time. (i.e. 32 XCH every 10 minutes) Of course, this is an absurd example, as to obtain that amount of space it would probably cost you on the order of $20 billion just to procure the equipment, but at least it should give you an idea about how disk size works in regards to Chia.
OK. No theory is widely accepted before it is.
I think you misread op (either that or I did).

I didn't interpret the post as "I was feeling barely containable violence then" but more of a "I became aware of the barely contained violence that me/humans have under the surface". As in, a change of judgement on his current and past condition, rather than a new emotion.
That was the whole point -- it was fixed early on by killing the tank, rendering the exploit useless, which is why you never see it in games anymore.

The main ones I know of are https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/10411 and https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/11816

There's a comment in the second link that's references in the first one that explains the rationale for the pull request refusal:

Like pointed out earlier (#11815), this would fragment the namespace, and hurt the community pretty badly, making dockerfiles no longer portable.

You can see that full comment at https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/11816#issuecomment-86732..., and it also references that this will be possible with signed images, so I don't know what happened after that (but that was over 6 years ago).

Let me take this chance to mention the "Unhook" Youtube browser extension, which I recently added and which I think has been having a big positive effect for me. The extension allows you to remove (among other things, it's very customizable) the sidebar of suggested videos from Youtube.

This extension has been more effective for me than any other at cutting down how much youtube I watch. Maybe the biggest factor in this is that it doesn't ban me from youtube entirely - When I've tried extensions like that in the past, I've always ended up uninstalling the extension when I needed to watch a youtube video for work. This way, I can watch a little, but the lack of constant new recommendations keeps me from spending hours and hours on the site.
I'd trust Wikimedia's privacy policy a hell of a lot more than I'd trust TikTok's.

Also, the English Wikipedia article on cognitive behavioural therapy cites Cochrane reviews, psych textbooks and a whole volley of journal articles from prestigious journals like the Lancet and the Journal of the American Medical Association etc. describing clinical trial results, plus guidance from the UK's National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence.

Presumably, the TikTok version makes up for this by having a better dance routine.

> In a network game, if player 1 opens a door, you want player 2 to see the door opening IFF they are within the "network relevancy" radius of the door.

This is all kind of wrong. You want players to see the door opening IFF they can see the door at all. If incompetent developers can't achieve that and come up with some other solution and a lame excuse to go with it, that does not change the desire from a player perspective.

"it's not the hard bit but just the UX" – I think this is not a good statement. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it shows a certain state of mind: Tech/protocol/crypto/algorithms are hard, but UX is just decor and easy. That's just wrong. For many users, UX is way more important than Key Backups and Cross signing of devices. If FOSS projects want to be an alternative to Slack/Discord, then these things are precisely what matters – a lot.
