Duh, ucks, how did miss that? Thanks for that, I've now corrected it. It's what happens when posting from a phone whilst on the move. Most timely correction too, if I'd reread it tomorrow when too late to correct it then I would really have been fazed! Here's an upvote. :-)
Wasteful: Unused compute sitting around in some datacenter is on the first order less wasteful than having it using tons of electricity to run a random puzzle. Less electricity usage. However, the second order effects may negate the effect i.e. miners instead buy up more units, which puts more pressure on manufacturing, which ends up using that extra electricity, and the energy waste is equal.

Attacks: that's exactly what you would need to build a tool for. You need to prove that you sit around, and not just promising to sit around. It's a tough problem! Proof of Not Work.

Nice, I had forgotten about wireguard GUI but now that I have upgraded some VPS to Debian 11 I can use it without hassle.
Cherry picked articles aren’t going to paint a nuanced portrait.

Google is right there and I suggest you do the legwork forming your own opinions.

I’ve merely stated my own and take the position I’m not trying to influence you. Coming here for insight, well, you get what you pay for on free social media.

I don’t do nuanced work for free.
They are asking anyone licensed to drive HGVs to do so. This just happens to include German drivers licenses issued prior to 1999.

Hmm, well, I mean, if ctype can't work for any interesting non-ASCII (and non-EBCDIC) cases (no one should still be using ISO-8859 locales...)... maybe stop trying so hard?
To be fair, they are right, mainland europe do have a driver shortage.

A friend of mine is the commercial of a company selling security detail services from Ukrainian ex-militia/military, and they started offering driver services, because the demand augmented that much in mainland europe (mainly east of germany, as they are the trips that pay the less).
In the US, record high temperatures aren't more likely to be from the present than they are to be from 100 years ago. The main effect of CO2 on temperature is that it doesn't cool off as much at night - daily low temperatures are increasing.

The typical news media coverage of weather is simply science denial. The news makes claims about weather events that aren't supported by the science, scientists don't challenge the claims (I guess because they want the public to take climate change more seriously?), and both the news media and scientists lose some people's trust. Certainly mine.
That’s exactly what I was getting at. It’s the same as people pointing to new record temp as ”definitely climate and you are stupid if you disagree” but seeing the previous record was 1920 as “well that was just a fluke”.

I don’t know what it is about climate change that seems to encourage a tribalistic ”if you aren’t entirely with me you are entirely against me”. Because I’m super skeptical that China will abide by import tax schemes without war, but that must mean I’m a denier now!

It hurts the debate to say there is no debate. There are tons of things to debate and discover. This is poor messaging above anything else.

I think the “true believers” that exaggerate to make their point are more hurtful than any single “denier”.

I misunderstood your point. You were talking about when something happens to your son's phone; I read it as something happening to your son.
it seems like your argument boils down to "I prefer a for loop because I'm more familiar with it". if that's true of you and most of the people you work with, that's certainly a valid argument. the opposite happens to be true on my team. we understand and prefer the functions from the algorithms header in most cases.

one argument in favor of functions like any_of is that, once you get familiar with them, they provide additional documentation of intent. I'll concede this is a pretty minor benefit; most uses of any_of replace a pretty simple loop.
I find this offensive
The cypherpunk crowd on HN seems to be all but gone. Overwhelmingly negative takes on anything crypto-related in favor of... big banks and media conglomerates.
It's not that simple.

Ruby's Enumerable is a concrete class; Rust's std::iter::Iterator is a trait, which has some aspects in common with Ruby classes and other aspects in common with Python protocols such as the Python iterator protocol. std::iter::Iterator is (primarily, though not in this case) an external iterator like Python iterators, STL iterators, and ranges in C++20 or D, not an internal iterator like (the original version of) Ruby Enumerable. Rust's type-checking strategy is more like ML than like Ruby, Python, C++, or D, while its compilation strategy is more like C++'s or D's compilation strategy than those of Ruby, Python, or ML.
Personally i think using "An" would be better than "this" or nothing at all, but i also think this entire thread is very nitpicky.
Myxt | SF/Remote | Looking for Software Engineers | https://myxt.com
We’re a very small team attempting to make a big music service. Myxt is building an application and suite for managing music files, workflow, listening, reviewing, payment, sharing, and annotation for digital creators and their collaborators and close-knit fans.

We’re a small founding team (2 people) with a working product and we release updates several times a week. Product development is communal and everyone in the company leads projects, tests releases, and engages with users and partners.

Previously, among our team we started Google Reader and helped build the early success of companies like Stripe and Twitter.

We're backed by Accel Ventures in SF. We’re looking for people who love working on complex technical solutions for creative makers. We’ve built the first version of the application but we’re still very early in its lifecycle and so we’re looking for engineers like us who like having a huge impact on product development.

I really hope we're starting to see the end of the "fake it till you make it" era.
Spruce (YC W21) | Remote-Only | Multiple Roles | Full-Time

spruceid.com

Spruce is hiring programmers to develop world-class open source products and libraries implementing open global standards in identity. At Spruce, we are reimagining trusted interactions by creating the world’s best software for packaging beliefs digitally, starting with Web3. We hire programmers who love technology and are committed to intellectual honesty, user privacy, and innovation.

Backend Engineer: You will be responsible for developing cross-platform libraries and server software in Rust. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to emerging global technology standards for digital identity.

Application Engineer: You will be responsible for building software prototypes and product features from start to finish. Our products will be composed from a combination of industry-trusted web and mobile frameworks, cutting-edge cryptography, new interoperable identity standards, and custom backend libraries.

Engineering Manager: We will count on you to combine your understanding of our core business and engineering capabilities to produce realistic timelines, winning product features, and satisfied employees.

> Ok I'll bite: in your opinion what is the absolute best application you associate with the web3 keyword, and is a clear unquestionable selling point?

Anything with user generated content. The takes on web3 are significantly smaller and you can argue why but the fact is people get to choose their platform based on public contracts. Trust is the feature, the platforms can do anything web 2 does just with better more solid terms.

> What leads you to believe that equity sharing is not possible right now without resorting to web3 buzzwords?

Because modifying the cap table is hard and controlled by a single entity, so even if they somehow jumped through all the regulatory hoops they wouldn’t have the trust.

You’re also arguing against reality. Name companies that do it without crypto, because every crypto company does.

> you haven't described a single problem at all

I guess you think Twitter, YouTube and Facebook don’t have trust problems.

> the reason why no one shares equity is quite simple

Crypto has proven this wrong already.
What was the offense? Often these allegations never reference the actual offense.

Generally Intelligent | Machine Learning Research Engineer | REMOTE or San Francisco | Full-time | https://generallyintelligent.ai

We’re an AI research company directly building human-like general machine intelligence. We have significant funding that will last a decade from investors including YC, researchers from OpenAI, and a number of high profile individuals.

Work with our researchers on cutting-edge deep learning research — running experiments, implementing architectures from papers, experiment tracking tools, model debugging methods, automated hyperparameter optimizers, developer tooling & visualization, etc.

Learning & growth is a core part of our culture, and we will invest in yours. For example, the whole engineering team worked through Pieter Abbeel’s CS294 last year, and some of us also completed CS287 and CS285.

No prior machine learning experience required.

Not the same; no sequence.
I agree that LD is not the right time to learn how to do pointer arithmetic, or how to draw a pixel.

What the time constraint teach you is to adjust to a time budget. Wear many hats. Improvise. And Finish Stuff.
All very valuable lessons that will help any developer.

There's a healthy and beautiful spectrum of tools and languages out there between the "all included" of Unity and the aridness of plain C. Have you tried Löve? It abstracts a lot, but a lot of what it abstracts is really not that important for making games, in my opinion.

In the before time, deallocating memory meant pulling it out of the board.

To free up memory on our systems, we bought new system and moved the old ones into a landfill.

Permanent storage was on stone tablets, but read/write times were REALLY LONG. Backups took a really long time, too. Restoring was pretty quick, because you would just put the last-known-good tablets into the machine.

The benefit of bringing something in process is as always more control, and usually at the expense of having to make decisions with less data about the rest of the system than an OS level service would have.

Sometimes you need very explicit control over when things are read from cache and when they aren't. This can be hard with network file systems. Especially when you have two different use cases on the same filesystem, which isn't that odd, even within a single application.

> there was much more uncertainty in the 70s

Tell that to all the people that were talking about the next Ice Age coming. They seemed pretty confident.

However, even if we accept "much more uncertainty in the 70s", you're agreeing with me that the post I was responding to, which said that global warming was accepted as "scientific fact" back then, was wrong.
I have received such a phishing call recently.

The script went something along the lines of:

"Hi, we need to authenticate a recent transaction of $high_value_item, well send you a verification code to prove we are $company_x."
<receipt of OTP code via SMS from $company_x>
"Can you repeat the verification code to authenticate?"
"Of course this isn't a scam, we must be $company_x, how else could I send you the verification code?"

I can definitely see general members of the public falling for this sort of scam - because they are being led to believe it's not a one-time-password that they're relaying at all, and some organisations do use verification codes of that sort, although usually it's to verify ownership of a particular mobile telephone number when setting up an account or pairing an app or similar.

I wouldn't expect non-technically savvy folk to immediately spot the difference between a verification code and a one-time-password.

It might be good if the OTP SMS message had text along the lines of "Do not give this code to anyone under any circumstances, regardless of who they claim to be employed by." - not that I would expect it to help in all cases.

(tbh - I was actually quite impressed, the English skills of the person on the other end of the telephone were significantly better than the average tech support call center person).
yes, i noticed the fun pun :) but thought bringing it to the fore would be distracting, and palette is what I wanted since I had referenced paint-by-numbers
But this was a central planned choice. Brexit pulled the rug out from under the market and was a centralised choice not a market reaction.

Also I'm unaware of whether or not the UK government, one of largest and oldest bureaucracies in the world actually anticipate this and provided the advice necessary.

I probably would too, and composability would suffer further. The concern you raise about lambda expressions is basically one of syntax rather than semantics. Syntax is important, but as an unrepentant user and occasional implementor of Lisps and Forths, I am in no position to criticize C++ :)
> My money that is stored in some bank's DB is not on my local computer, but I sure hope it's mine.

You have a contract with your bank which says that they owe you a certain amount of money based on your past interactions. That contractual claim against the bank is what you actually own. The number in their database is just a summary of those interactions. Just see what happens when the bank messes up and enters a larger number in their database than what the contract says they owe you: The DB is not authoritative; the contract is.

Physical possession is not, of course, a requirement of ownership, though it certainly helps.

There is also a difference between owning specific property, such as the contents of a safe deposit box, and an entitlement to be paid according to the terms of a contract. In a very real sense, until you make that demand for a withdrawal in accordance with the contract the actual money belongs to the bank, and as a depositor you are merely one of the bank's creditors, just as you do in fact own your home even while it's serving a collateral for a mortgage and could be claimed by the bank if you fail to keep up with the payments.
The architecture I have in mind is to use a CRDT of some sort as the data store. (Or OT if you have a centralised server and want to keep complexity down). Then make the client smart, like old school apps like OmniFocus. Do concurrent editing via the data layer - so the application only really deals with the local data and hears about updates via the underlying data itself changing.

The data model can be reused across many applications, since there's nothing application specific about it. So we can make standard, interoperable debugging tools, backup tools, viewers, etc.

If you want to interact with the same data from scripts, cron jobs and external services, just have another peer on the network with access to the same set of API methods the application can access. You can already read and write data via that API, and any applications with the data open should see any changes instantly.

Basically, what I'm imagining is pretty similar to a self hosted firebase. Except, ideally, I want a CRDT under the hood so we don't need to send all edits via someone else's computer.
No? If the pensions etc liabilities weren’t on their books, they were already insolvent, they just didn’t recognize it. Forcing the funding just prevented a future rude awakening to this fact.
I don't usually follow these things, but wouldn't it be unusual for a company to go public before actually releasing a product?
If you know what DeFi is, I don't know how you can arrive at this conclusion. At this moment, you as an average person can not profit with your money in the same way that banks profit with your money. You know what the money in your checking and savings account is actually doing right now, right?
Woke racism strikes again.
For those like me who'd never heard of Ozy until this past week (I thought the first stories were a misspelled reference to the aging rock star, also know for going off the rails), Wikipedia as usual has a decent overview. It apparently launched in 2013:

Ozy was launched as a digital magazine and daily newsletter in September 2013. The company raised a $5.3 million seed round of funding in December 2013 backed by Laurene Powell Jobs, founder of Emerson Collective. Additional early investors include Louise Rogers and Ron Conway.

In October 2014, Ozy announced that German media giant Axel Springer had invested $20 million in the company. In January 2017, Ozy announced a $10 million Series B round of fundraising, led by Michael Moe's GSV Capital. In November 2019 Ozy announced a Series C round of $35 million, led by businessman Marc Lasry.

I'll note that it didn't even rate mention on HN until the past week as well.
Meritocracy be damned.

Moderna went public before it had any product available.

EDIT: I'm not saying that Rivian would be as good a purchase as Moderna but... yeah. This sort of thing has become way more common in recent years. This is definitely the high-risk / high-reward area of investing: buying companies that you don't even know work or not yet (Moderna IPO'd in 2018, long before COVID19 even existed. There was pretty much no way to know it'd be the miracle drug to a non-existent disease just two years later)

On the other hand: Moderna's success shows why the stock market is a magical thing. The money pumped into Moderna through the IPO allowed it get the money needed to build up its research facilities, in effect preparing for COVID19 even before the disease appeared.

--------

"Going public" means one thing and one thing only: the company wants money, and they think bonds (aka: borrowing money from a bank) is a bad value. Its still up to the investor to decide if giving money to the company is a worthwhile trade.
I thought racism & sexism were bad.
Gosh, no. It's because roughing it actually sucks if your survival is truly at stake.

Right now you don't have to know anything about how to survive in order to survive. You just need to trade some of your time for money, somewhere, somehow.
