The straightforward process for turning free time into money as an engineer who doesn't want to worry about sales/marketing/customer management (i.e. a substantial amount of the work involved in consulting) is "go do technical interviews for an interview platform". Karat and interviewing.io are the two I'm most familiar with but I'm sure there are others. They won't match your "hourly rate" if you're bringing in 500k/yr at the day job; they might be competitive in the 150-200k/yr range. I personally find interviewing to be a pretty demanding type of work since you need to be more or less "100% on" the entire time while doing something pretty repetitive, but ymmv.

Edit: I haven't personally done this; I'm speaking from the position of someone who conducts a fair number of interviews at the day job and wouldn't relish the thought of doing more after clocking out. My spare capacity does in fact go to side projects.
Great story. The title got me thinking af the song "Hall of Mirrors" by Kraftwerk. Funny to read the lyrics of that song in the context of the story.
I agree. what I'm saying is that it's possible to make meat out of plants direclty, without the need for lab-grown meat. If you won't replace your burger with an Impossible burger, you also won't replace it with a lab-grown one.
This looks great! I've used framer-motion in the past and it was great. Could you tell us how Motion One compares to framer-motion?
Just imagine thousands of people where their accounts get locked without the ability to reach their voices over HN or Reddit.
Shame that conjugation doesn’t affect the program. That would be really cool.

Although I’m not sure what meaningful function it would have.

Maybe some async system? Or lazy vs eager eval? E.g

x = got_val(x)

Would evaluate before assignment, while

x = get_val(x)

Would evaluate lazily.
Hi! Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it.
Exactly. I've never interpreted that quote other than encouragement to continue writing "clever" code in order to get better at coding, despite the fact it's typically used to suggest the opposite.
Ask HN: Are there faster but 100% compatible Raspberry Pi alternatives?
I love my Raspberry Pi 4 with its brand OS and the Noobs multi-boot set-up (switching between the full desktop, LibreELEC and Lakka) but it feels painfully slow on many websites, namely YouTube. I'd like a faster CPU still running the exactly same OS (not just Debian or anything else). Is this possible? Are there any fully compatible alternatives?
It's a bummer that the article doesn't discuss _why_ they need to support real time analytics through SQL queries in prod databases. That's a bad idea, for real time analytics skip databases and computed it directly on some distributed system, on the fly. For analytics, use queries on offline or follower replicas. If you actually massive real time analytics than it's probably worth revisiting your business model as a whole abs redo system design.
"I listen to or read probably 8hrs of news at double speed (so 16hrs) a day."

So you spend more time trying to optimize input than comprehension or thoughtful contemplation.
I'm really keen on things like this.

I love (in theory at least) the concept of being able to work from literally anywhere, and the concept of some sort of smart display (glasses, lenses, etc) but having a physical keyboard to type out code is always a major barrier.

Something like this starts to edge towards that vision which is cool.

I wonder as well if there's a way to have some sort of bracelet (but probably something less comfortable) that can track the way your hands move, so you'd be able to just "type" normally with your hands (eventually with less actual movement and more intent I suppose) to make use of these wearable displays. No idea how feasible it is, but it feels like it is!

One day I'll be able to work whilst walking around in the forest... One day!

Not if they're coming from a country with a risk of yellow fever.

You're really setting up very narrow condition in which someone might not need a certain vaccine. I'm saying that there's a history in which vaccines and immunizations have been required. If Japan had a yellow fever epidemic, Bangladesh would most certainly require it, just like they do if a Japanese person is coming from a country that does have such an epidemic. That's the precedence.

Saying they require a covid vaccine from a country with a covid epidemic is them applying existing restrictions. And currently, people arriving from most countries are dealing with an epidemic. 5 years ago Bangladesh authorities would deny people for not having yellow fever immunizations. They're within their rights to do the same for covid.
Because it's like saying 'I'm having problems with windows, how do I fix it' and someone coming along and saying 'use linux'. I don't find it that helpful.

I'd almost agree, but the new XCOM games[0] get quickly boring to me because of their linear tech tree progression aspect. That is, all the weapons you unlock over time are strict improvements over predecessors they replace. There's no increase to the number of options or tactics - you unlock laser weapons, there's no reason to ever bring in regular firearms to the fight. You unlock plasma weapons, there's no reason to ever use lasers again. Etc.

What I'd love to play is a game like XCOM, but where the tech tree is broader than you can cover in a single game, and where options have tradeoffs - so e.g. it could make sense to have a squad where one soldier is carrying a plasma weapon, and everyone else carries regular rifles, because tactical considerations make it a better option.

(Also one implication of this I didn't like in terms of role-playing: firearms are our weapons, laser weapons are our weapons made from reversing some basic science off alien tech, and plasma weapons are just their guns modified so humans can handle them. I always felt there should be a way to make lasers ultimately better than plasmas, based of my favorite trope of humans beating alien invaders with smarts and sheer force of will.)

On a related note, Realme recently bricked two (maybe more) phone models with an update that caused a soft-boot loop if the weather service (!) was removed by the user to reduce bloat. The problem is not fixed. People have lost data. I personally put Realme on my "never do business with" list.

If their engineering is so poor that they haven't caught this in time, nor reacted by releasing a one-line software patch that can be applied manually (cause users sure as hell can't do it themselves - stock can only apply signed updates), they shouldn't be trusted with anything.

Just look at any of "the world in 50 years" from the 20th and 19th century and you'll notice the extremely vast majority of expected technological advances didn't mature even remotely close to what technocrats predicted, if at all.

We're in the middle of a hype cycle, we've been in hype cycles many times since the 30s. People think everything is possible, that science is an unlimited power and that we just have to work hard enough on a problem to solve it.

Technocrats of the 60s said we'd have 2 days workweek by the year 2000 thanks to automation, artificial intelligence experts of the 70s said we'd reach AGI in a decade, engineers of the 80s predicted flying cars would be the norm, 2012 Musk said autonomous cars would be there "in two years".

Also worth noting that antibiotics in meat production is not only about health. For unclear reasons (or at least, it was unclear years ago when I learned about this) giving cows antibiotics just makes them grow much better and fatter. Presumably, there are bacteria that inhibit growth without making the cows visibly sick. Result: antibiotics get deployed to all cows as a general growth enhancer, rather than focusing on actual sickness.
You have incremental supply on ETH available to those who deploy mining assets. This broadens ownership through dilution.
Solana has had multiple funding rounds and not just one. They can continue to have as many funding rounds as they like.

There will be never be dilution of Solana holders to allow for decentralisation. To earn coins through staking you need to be a preexisting holder.

Running a node doesn't make economic sense and there are plenty of validators which don't charge a commission for delegation.
You have no variable costs as an entrenched holder who can just stake coins for more coins till eternity.

All future supply on Solana will only take place through staking unless the backers think otherwise.

Hmm.... I may miss some details, but Rust's str isn't that much different from a type wrapper

const str = []const u8;

...in Zig isn't it? Both are slices (aka pointer/size pairs). Rust's str seems to have some additional string-related functions, but in Zig those could be provided in the stdlib (along with the 'str' type wrapper), and then on the next level a String-like type which includes memory management.

PS: Ah ok, one important difference is that Rust's str is guaranteed to be valid UTF-8.
you're right, I personally think the more people who have this way of thinking the better. but the number of people who can be motivated to do this stuff along with the time required is a much smaller group

Hi Matt, loved to see this.

Suggestion: it would be great if we could use this to animate a value rather than requiring it to be on a DOM object (or selector).

When using this with Vue, it would be great if we could animate a data value and use the Vue template layer to handle the actual DOM manipulation part.
Uh, no, you store nothing of sorts. Which is the problem. According to ERC-721 (NFT standard) you store exactly three things: the name, a cute pic and the URI to its definition file somewhere else (not even that definition has a hash, not that it would help anything).

20 years ago, I lived in London for less than that, but you'd have to be pretty frugal now. Many smaller cities in the UK would be fine though.

If you're considering Bucharest I've heard good things about Budapest in terms of living costs and it's a nice place to visit. I also love Slovenia so Ljublijana may be an option and is also very close to Venice and Milan and the fantastic Julian alps
Yeah I think this is fair, in the development of Motion One I have been very impressed by Firefox when I have looked at it, though I've concentrated on Webkit and Chrome for obvious reasons.

At the same time I have noticed that although background-color animations are hardware-accelerated, things like box-shadow actually still aren't, which I was surprised by. Or if they are, blocking the main thread somehow still pauses these animations. At some point I'll do a more extensive example to hash out what is/isn't supported.
Is there an equivalent source for presenting ideas? For my sins I prepare a lot of sales architecture slides and I often struggle to find diagrams beyond the smart art graphics in Office and Google Slides (as good as they are).

I hear this statement all the time, it is never sourced.

If Jews can grow tomatoes in the desert, then what land could possibly not used for agriculture?

Besides, the majority of the land use that is used for growing animals or growing animal feed is in the lather category.

So as it is a statement that is always asserted without evidence, it can also be dismissed without evidence.
Yes and the article discusses this extensively. The problem is that it's very hard to achieve the necessary level of cleanliness. The article mentions needing to take apart, clean and re-assemble entire plants because some bacteria were hiding in small pits inside imperfect welds!
Does anyone know any examples of useful smart contracts on Ethereum? Most of what I hear on the news in either NFTs or toy problems like lotteries.
Reminds me of all those articles from ~20 years ago saying that solar power will never be cost-effective [0].

There'll be a series of incremental improvements, a couple of sudden "aha" shifts in thinking, and suddenly it's not only cost-effective, but massively better.

[0] searching for one now, I can't find an example, which is interesting. Did I mis-remember, or have they all been pulled down?
The author makes a note of function names not being imperative, so the display lines would perhaps be better translated as:

The article says this:

> To be fair, the traditional meat industry already benefits from enormous direct and indirect government subsidies

and then ignores the impact that that has. In the EU, CAP subsidies are absolutely enormous [0], and are only slightly smaller in the US [1]. - Between the two, that's $115 billion dollars per year on farming subsidies, which is roughly 40% of farm income in both the EU and the US.If it's acceptable to prop up the farm industry, why isn't it acceptable to prop up the manufactured meat industry?

“ Mine was delivered at the end of Aug. I got it set up by the first of September and have been using it ever since. Yesterday, I put my 2019 Thinkpad on my pile of "laptops to refurbish and donate." I've bought a new Thinkpad almost every year since 2006. I think that's over.”

I can’t really fathom why anyone would buy laptops at this rate. It seems so incredibly wasteful. The author is free to ship me his 2019 laptop. I will no problem putting it to good use.

Can you see educated people «reaching [their] own ["]conclusions["] [with] Twitter» - apart from getting elements for judging the speaker (not the matter)? Who would seek knowledge from stubs - and disorganized, "latest without history", and thrown in the unregulated chaos?

We have been educated through books since substantially forever, who would call "writings on a daily repainted wall" credible competition?

The new ways recently born, and quickly massively misused - for not wanting to see them for what they are, in their limits, and to ride the wave of new games -, seem to have deviated the attention of some to the preexisting context and its already present issues: a large amount of imperfect material (in credible formats) was published. In many Countries critical thinking is (was?) taught with basic education: we have always known that problems are not trivial (centuries of theological debates in front of a Revelation?!).

Now: books are what you must have used and continuously use for intellectual preparation; in the current fast dynamics we need more of articles for information and competent analysis. The problem does not change: identifying reliable sources.

And the typical solution has always been: identifying the most convincing "authorities", and following them cum grano salis et caveats, judgement always alert, for as long as they will be human.

On a real L2 (so no sidechains like Polygon, Avax) probably around 30$ to 50$. It should go down when they unthrottle transactions.
I agree. Currently, to support independent transform animations, there's a tiny numbers-only animation library under the hood. I would like to figure out a nice API for this, along with a tree-shakable keyframes function, that will allow you to animate numbers or more complex values out to JavaScript functions.
That's my point: I strongly disagree with the "every civilization will go through the same phases we go through" statement.

I also disagree that "civilization" is something that could be applied to non-human things and not an arbitrary property of humanity like "Swedish speaker".
NFT definition is stored off-chain. Which means the security you defined on the chain protects only the URI to a random file or some database - which can be modified any time DigitalOcean or the hacker decides to modify. So you're right, we can create quickly and safely keys to the metal front door, while the back door is propped with a stick.
I use control. It's neutral to password entry on Windows and Linux lock screens, and either neutral or an escape key from a VM back to the main desktop.

I suppose there can be some value in unlocking company equity, but placing freezable contract on a public blockchain? I suppose that might make audits easier or something. However, might as well put full trust into the person with the freeze key, would likely be a lot cheaper.

Every stablecoin has the freeze function so far, and that underpins DeFi, which has become sizable. I'm probably just dumb.

For some that may be the case, for others not. For me it would probably a distraction. Taste varies :-)

What I would understand were if it had some function, like varying the colors and slowly pulsing, or brightness according to temperature and various loads, split into where it's making sense.

I don't know, something measured via eBPF piped into https://openrgb.org/ ?

Does this exist? Am I so out of the loop that I'm unaware of it? The only thing I've seen so far was changing color according to fan speed. Otherwise only decoupled cycling of color-patterns.

Extremely stable products do exist. The Z80 wouldn't still be made (after almost 50 years) unless software needs that CPU, and at this point that has to mean stable software, right?

But in this case, the software works as it did, provided that you give it the surroundings for which it was made. The change needed isn't one of the four classes you point out, but rather a fifth:

- support for new networking technology

For the N95, a new web stack, presumably including xhr, webrtc and the other goodies so many apps use nowadays. For the Playstation, the ability to connect to new WLANs.

I suspect that new hardware would be needed in both of these cases. Running webrtc on a CPU from 2007 sounds dubious, and didn't 802.11foo change something extremely low-level wrt. hardware?
