With the '--debugger:native' flag, the Nim debugging experience isn't too bad. Not on the level of Java or C#, but you can set breakpoints, step in/over/out of code and inspect or watch variables without having to look at C code. There are some issues with type visualization (to see the contents of a string you have to evaluate something like '(char*)variable->data') but Nim ships with a gdb plugin that should help (I haven't actually tried it).

It could definitely be better, and hopefully some day it will be, but I use Nim in a debugger quite frequently and it usually works out pretty well.
A charitable way to describe this is (as a play on premature optimization) "premature future proofing"
Yep looks like you're right... but 3 weeks ago it was 41k, and 3 months ago it was 32k... my main point stands though.
If I were to guess, stress is responsible for a large part of it - stress is already known to have side effects in mental health and life expectancy. I mean... my generation (as someone born in 1991), what did we experience in our formative years? Nothing but a perpetual state of crisis:

- for Americans, the numerous wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and in other countries - not to mention 9/11 itself which hit right as many of my generation were in childhood and old enough to understand what is going on in the news

- the financial crisis 2008ff which will leave those who graduated around it with lifetime lower earnings (https://www.pymnts.com/economy/2020/millennials-facing-secon...)

- for the Europeans, the Euro crisis not soon after, same effect if not worse, given the devastation it caused in Southern Europe / PIIGS states

- for Europeans, dealing with the refugees that all the wars in Africa and Asia caused, culminating in the 2015ff migration crisis

- worldwide, anyone not completely ignorant already sees the catastrophic effects of climate change and the utter inaction of our politicians. We see that the world is figuratively speeding with 200 km/h against a rapidly upcoming brick wall, we see that instead of applying the brakes, the 1% of rich and elites instead maxes out the throttle, and we know that we are going to take the beginning of its effects in 30 years and our children face the full impact. Old people complain why the youngest are on strike on Fridays instead of going to school - well, they are aware that no amount of education can help them if the planet is nearing inhabitability!

- and on top of that, we have a new crisis looming in the form of Russia destabilizing Western governments by propaganda and cyberwars, and China taking parts right out of the NSDAP playbook and acting like a schoolyard bully in the Pacific region all the way to Australia.

- did I already mention that my and the later generations will face significantly less earnings than the generation of Boomers, and that income and wealth inequality also has risen constantly over the last decades?

- as a result, home ownership is ever more inachievable, in contrast to our parents we have to regularly be on the move and uproot ourselves (thus, losing our meatspace social network) every couple of years because the only way to achieve wage raises is to move companies

- and on top of all of what I mentioned, we have the aftermath of the Covid crisis that showed just how fundamentally broken our societies and economies are, how incompetent and reckless our politicians are, how utterly ignorant politics and society acted when it came to the needs of the young (we sacrificed our youth for the at-risk population, and got rewarded with anti-vaxxers and police smashing outdoor parties as a thank-you), that wrecked entire economies beyond belief and many of us lost people held dearly under sometimes egregious circumstances!

All of this is a permanent mental load, in some cases (especially when it comes to Covid) we are crossing into trauma territory. I'm seriously interested in the first psychological research dealing with stress influence of the last two decades.
that's a convenient narrative.

if anything, i'd expect $BITO launch to be a sell the news event. lo and behold, didn't happen. i don't believe retail bought several billions of it in the first day and change of trading.

What I'm always missing from the discussion around bitcoin and its price is: what are reasonable KPI's to measure its success, its impact, its utility etc.

When you want to value an organisation or company, it makes sense to look at these KPIs. They could be purely financial, e.g. profits, revenue, margins. Or they could be more fundamental, number of users, or rather, number of times a person has benefitted (e.g. # of one-night stands or relationships that Tinder generated).

What are these KPIs or metrics for bitcoin, that can tell us it has value, beyond the speculative?

When I invested in bitcoin in 2013, there was a lot of work to get user-adoption. It was seen as the way forward, also to create a return on your investment. we used to track numbers on # of wallets, # of daily transactions, # of merchants accepting bitcoin, # of volume on exchanges. Over time it began harder to differentiate true numbers from fake numbers, e.g. exchanges became notorious for faking transaction volume as a marketing tool. But overal, the general idea was that after 2015 or so, the number of real-world transactions and active (non-zero volume) merchants either declined, or in later years at least was not growing at remotely the same rates as the price of bitcoin.

Whereas I used to use bitcoin for various things and saw others do it, too, today I can hardly point to a single person or company which has utilised bitcoin in a way that isn't speculative. There's no positive KPI or metric that I can point to, except speculative ones (e.g. price).

If I survey my friends, the only reason they give to buy bitcoin, is that there's an expectation the price will keep going up. Yet, the work on user-adoption of bitcoin (i.e., real-world usage, not merely investing) seems like it's not at all part of anyone's calculus.

That's the reason I sold all my bitcoin some time ago. Although I would not at all be surprised that the price will keep growing, I can forgive myself and justify me having sold. But if the price falls it'd be entirely reasonable, and I wouldn't be able to justify my choice not to sell.

There is obvious real technology here in having a database/ledger that's not under control of 1 centralised party. But a decade later I'm not seeing anyone exploit that value outside of the speculative investment side.

Btw, I believe there's potential long-term value in bitcoin merely as a store of value, a digital gold. But right now there's still a pretense of something more. Second, the store of value ideal only applies to one coin, not the trillion other crypto variants. And it requires trust and faith (over decades/centuries) in one particular fork of Bitcoin. There's only one chemical that's pure gold, but one could create infinitely many bitcoin forks.
Depends on what matters more: your lungs or IQ.

Having said that, a lot of countries do a poor job of lead control/monitoring in plumbing/water distribution.

> There is growing evidence that the scale of problems with lead in drinking water has been under-estimated in Europe, due to inadequate monitoring. Particularly in the older districts of towns and cities, where lead pipes can be common

You can do a lot better with more professional VCs by not having ideas you believe in and can just articulate the gap in the market and how you'll extract value from it and exit. Not gatekeeping VC types here, just saying there are some that are swayed by emotional stories and nobody needs to be.

The analogy I use is an expedition to the new world. Get funding from the Queen, get the ships and crew, sail to the new world, get the gold, come back, distribute profits and disband.

Tether printer is rather silent right now. So is USDCoin. Both hit a plateau a week ago.

That's one thing concerning me with this ATH. Large upswings usually coincided with USDT/USDC issuance for the last years, which makes sense, given that fresh money is needed to drive new ATHs and the USDT/USDC market caps are the best-available proxy for the amount of fiat stashed in the crypto ecosystem.

It could be that this hype cycle and new ATH is still being driven by money that has already been in the system (but on the sidelines for a while, probably since the big drop in May of this year), but if that was the case, then it should be rather short-lived if large chunks of new money don't start entering the system soon.

Oh Atek is not ready for HN yet. If you saw the spork tool yesterday [1], that’s as far as we’ve gotten.

On “What is it.” Suppose you set up a server on your home LAN. Great: what can it do? Unless you configure DDNS or a static IP or similar, it can only serve apps to your LAN. What if your friend also had a home server and we could get them to connect and send messages, share files, etc? You could build some applications on that stack which are traditionally on commercial clouds.

So Atek will be something like a personal PaaS that’s consumer-friendly. The p2p tech is to make the apps on that PaaS socially connective with each other.

There's probably an inflation signal in there, but unless you believe the US dollar has lost 99.9999%-ish of its value since BitCoin first came out about 12 years ago (you can add more 9s depending on exactly when you decide bitcoin got a solid value against the dollar), it probably isn't all of it.

I love this. The more raw and honest we are with our narratives. The less polished we try to be. The more intimately understandable things are on a primal level. The much higher our likelihood of connecting a real life opportunity to economic outcome.

I've been a part of so many investor pitches and presentations (both receiving and pitching), and one major trend I constantly see is entrepreneurs who have the right itch or instinct into a problem space but they haven't fully thought through why people should care. When they give reasons for why people should care, it's often removed from reality and overly idealistic. A lot of people get bitter for getting turned down on this "last mile" of reasoning that investors demand, but _everything_ is in this last mile. This is how you orient your team to think about problems. This is how you become customer obsessed. This is how you market why you exist.

Verilog is weakly typed and VHDL is strong. That is already a pretty big deal when dealing with vector signals, where Verilog happily assigns a 32-bit signal to a 16-bit signal.

VHDL also supports defining record types, such that a collection of signals can be assigned together.

I definitely agree with the line of thinking posited, what I'm less clear on is what the discrete implementation of these ideas looks like.

I worked at a company once with huge monolith system, mainly revolving around a relational database. We tried for years to break out of this, and if my understanding is correct this organization is still on this monolith today. There were a number of challenges, and we tried a number of different solutions (NoSQL models/object stores/etc), but it felt like there were base level assumptions about the availability of data in the core application that felt impossible to address without a full scale rewrite and reevaluation of all previous assumptions.

Perhaps I've answered my own question here -- it just needed to be completely redesigned from the ground up. Short of doing that however, would anyone care to provide high level insight on how they'd break down this problem, and what technology they might use to address it?

Things I Did That Made My Employees Quit
I read a lot about pension funds still being able to invest in oil and gas because they take "active ownership" in trying to get those companies to do a green transition.

I honestly think it's a smoke screen. The boat has sailed. Those companies have been spreading disinformation for decades, and we ought to just regulate them out of existence as quickly as we can. They will not change.
Thank you - this is amazing!
A lot of things have been studied, the question is what evidence they have that it actually works. It seems similar to one of those things where people have made a lot of claims with only dubious evidence.
The kindest way to look at the Linux commit behaviour is that almost by definition its bugs are security bugs. The bug means the kernel doesn't behave as intended, and you are entitled from a security point of view to assume it does behave as intended, so, hence bugs are security bugs. And thus argubaly having a "security bug" flag is redundant.

For example suppose for some crazy reason, on Sundays all USB audio devices have stereo flipped by mistake. That's a bug. Is it a security bug? At first glance you may think "No". It's just a weird logic bug. But the user is entitled to reason that if they routed stereo left from their USB digital audio feed to the mono "Security Announcements" PA in the building, and their "security announcements" code is silent on stereo right, that's fine, that will still cause the announcements to come from their PA system as desired. It's astonishing that on Sunday this Linux bug silences the PA and they don't get PA announcements that there's a seismic alarm down in gold vaults D, E and F because somebody has drilled into them. It was a security bug after all.

It's more complicated than that. Yes, not all the land was being actively maintained at any one time but the 200ft pines, abundance of fruit/nut bearing plants and game species that come with them is a direct result of native land management practices throughout the broader region despite any particular square not necessarily being actively managed at any particular point in time.

Relocating (and they didn't relocate far, remember this is inhabited land after all, you can't just set up shop on the neighbor gang's turf) is the native equivalent of leaving a field fallow. But because the natives were working with animal and plant species the feedback loop is potentially decades long (depending on local resources) vs farmers who will leave a field fallow every few years.

I agree that they would have left the place barren had they had the means but you have to consider that what they were doing was stable on a 500+yr timeline which is a pretty good run.

My point here is that the impenetrable thicket a lot of environmentalists want to maintain is not particularly representative of "peak forest". I'm sure they all want to see blueberries and 200ft pines but just doing nothing won't achieve that because that's not a state that new england forests can (and certainly not today since we've got all sorts of invasive species and pests) get themselves into without human intervention either directly on a particular parcel of land or on enough near proximity land to influence the ecology of the parcel in question.

> I had my nexus6 on kernel 4.9.3.

I find this very hard to believe, as no evidence of Nexus 6 kernels that are not Google's original 3.10 shipped exists that I can find. Even PostmarketOS that looks to update kernels links to LineageOS fork of the 3.10 kernel on their page for shamu/Nexus 6.

Unless you mean a custom kernel from "some guy on XDA" that names itself 4.9.3 like this one - which is just kernel 3.10 with some branding on it. It says so right in its description: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kernel-sm-4-9-3-o3-graphi... . Kernel 4.9.3 is a weirdly specific point release to be on in modern times anyway - there's kernel 4.9.0 all the way up to 4.9.287 - so it'd definitely be oddly specific if that's what you had.

Outside of valiant community efforts like Replicant and PostmarketOS, who have an extremely hard time getting working or feature complete kernels running, Android devices getting new kernels is almost unheard of. Even with vendor support. Community ROMs have to stick with what the vendor gave them to have a functional device.

from what I can tell he was looking hard for problems.

He also noticed that if you ran 9 "yes" commands on a 8 core machine, the CPU wasn't allocated in 8/9ths units (one process always got a lot less CPU). he was used to much more predictible CPU scheduler on multiprocessor systems (spoilt by TruCluster). Linux later adopted a better scheduler (fair share) so imho he was right on that one, even if "yes" is a terribly performance metric.
