> For myself, I would already consider electric flight as part of their future revenue. Its a logical next step but it will take 10 years. Of course I can understand that other people think this is crazy

That's extremely unrealistic. The aeroplane industry is extremely complex, and there are heavy regulations where (hopefully) Tesla's "move fast and break things" + use commercial grade stuff and refuse warranty ( was it the chips in their screens or the screens themselves in some models that were not made for constant use in a car) approach won't fly. 10 years is a decent development time for a plane, if you skip the parts that Tesla have no experience with it and there'd be plenty of R&D to make them work. For reference, Bombardier, a company with decades of aeronautics experience and an established supply chain, started work on the C-Series in 2004. First flight was in 2014, first commercial service in 2016, and it nearly banrkupted them. Unless Tesla are already currently working on an electric airplane, i call bullshit on them having one in 10 years. Considering they already have the truck and semi which are oversold and underdelivered/delayed, do you think they have the capacity to tackle such a huge undertaking any time soon?

As to your other comment that Airbus won't do it - they've been on it since 2010:

https://www.airbus.com/innovation/zero-emission/electric-fli...

If one of the biggest companies in aviation has been working on it for a decade and doesn't have anything commercially viable yet to show for it, and estimate it will take them another decade for this, what makes you think a company with no aeronautics experience and history of overpromising and underdelivering can do it all in a decade?

Sounds like crypto is just another way for anarcho-capitalists to learn the hard way about wealth distribution and income equality.
You're aware of a 51% attack yeah?
Yes of course.

This is the standard way online banking has been operating in, I believe, much of Europe since practically forever (although it used to be physical lists before smartphones were popular).
Yeah, this vis needs to filter out teachers and nurses since they are top results for anybody, and/or professions need to be color coded by category so I can glance at a list of 15 items and see that ${medicalprofessional} surprisingly marries educators.

Yes, the general name is "ageism". This has nothing to do with young versus old. Younger people are funnelled to a small number of larger sites just as much as older people.
The GPL, and copyright in general, only applies in jurisdictions where you can effectively enforce it. Elsewhere, it might as well not exist.
'Finally' denotes op'ed, subjectivity by author of Wired article. It signals those who care about global warming to click, while those who don't care are more inclined to skip. Ie. it has a use.

While you're at it you can do the same with questionmark / questions, cause the answer is probably "No.".

HN does use software to (de)prioritize certain titles and URLs.
Traditional currencies aren't advertised as being decentralised.
REST was never about "technology", it's about an architectural style that is particularly suited to a networked separation of API consumers and producers.

SOAP was an overengineered set of "standards" that had enough wiggle room that none of the SOAP implementation would interoperate correctly.

"microservices" are just "services". The technology that allows them, also allows for horizontal scaling, especially if you ensure that your API is stateless (not the resources, by definition, they have state, that's what you're "transferring").

I've been doing this stuff for 30 years now, and the more things change, the more they stay the same.

IMNSHO, the current false Gods are all the "cloud" items. The infrastructure stuff in AWS/GCP/Azure is just... networking and servers with APIs on top. There's nothing particularly special, except that the APIs let you avoid thinking about the underlying infrastructure.

As the cloud climbs the software stack, from IaaS, to PaaS (eg RDS), to SaaS (eg Stripe), it's interesting that the APIs remain primarily HTTP/JSON (or XML) and "RESTful" for the most part.
Congratulations on the launch!

I miss the McGraw-Hill bookstore in NYC. It was amazing
I don't want this kind of "shared understanding" if it means that I have to program in the most basic, underdeveloped language. It's the interface with the computer and used to convey meaning.
I was almost ready to buy a reMarkable 2 even though I don't really need one, because of how cool a gadget that thing is. You know what I mean, right? Looking for reasons and excuses, trying to justify the purchase no matter what.

So this made it much easier.
do you still use lisp ? i noticed a while ago you were working on a cryptographic project and i am sure you considered common lisp for this, but didn't pick it. is there a reason for this ?

The format that Digest uses to transmit passwords is not a lot better than plaintext. It’s a simple salted hash, which is easily brute-forced offline unless the password is strong.
Cool. Do you think we can know it now?
AIUI, tenured professors can be laid off when an entire department is shut down. Though this might vary in each university.
Software isn't bridges though. If you run into scaling issues if you're lucky it's just a case of swapping out a database for a bigger one. More likely it isn't just that though and being able to do things like scale up distributed workers coherently with a change of a config file requires upfront thought and design that YAGNI would say isn't necessary. People just breezily saying "we can optimise it later" for a scale up of orders of magnitude are nearly always wrong. I'd argue Reddit is a perfect example of a site that's clearly running into scaling issues but are locked into an architecture with few escape hatches built in

When a bridge fails it'll just fail. When software runs into a scaling limit it'll degrade and fall on its arse constantly and be absolutely terrible as long as it takes for the software team to completely rework their entire architecture often having to learn completely new technologies.
Maybe we could jazz it up a little by using a foreign language in the name. Europe is such a historic place, perhaps one of their languages: "Guten Tag", "Hola" or maybe even "Goddag"
Yeah, it's designed for discoverable APIs on the open internet, why use it for internal communication I have no idea. All the time I've wasted making apps slower and worse, and arguing over it, just because it's the "correct" RESTful way, and creating and maintaining documentation, when there's only one single client, and it's also managed in the same team. It just becomes a line drawn in the code in a random place where everything becomes more difficult, dogmatic and impractical.
Oh Yes. It is interesting to look back now.

Strange decade indeed. Unless you are in US and the financial disaster hit hard, then I think I look back in 2010 that 2000s were comparatively uneventful.
This is no different from any other language lacking libraries, except that with Lisp you're using a proven, powerful language. And if you want libraries there's a python bridge and a whole CL on the JVM with interop.
If you want a book where several things are happening on every single page, Reamde is for you.

> I would appreciate a few concrete examples (very much like [::-1] and 100*100) that would allow me to get what LISP really is about.

You mean like (reverse "asd") and (* 10000 10000)? That's not really what gives you an impression of Lisp, rather a bit of syntax ([::-1], the paragon of readability) and large integers. :P

They call it "uncommitted". What does that mean? Myself I have used "git describe --dirty" to store version information (not in Go binaries, but in general). "Dirty" will indicate changes to files under version control. But it will miss any new file that should be under version control but isn't.
how about intentionally flawing the book by adding a line with a pen somewhere or similar. that's how I have it seen done in Germany to bypass price fixing.
Librem 5 has a variant that is manufactured in the US, and it costs like more than 2 times its non-US variant. I doubt it's a good call financially.
This is a good point, but still most creators are professionals in the sense of trying to make money out of it (not necessarily a bad thing), whereas in the early web most people with websites were hobbyists eager to share what they know.
Also crossed my mind. We'd still would be left without illustrations, table organization, charts, etc, which in a considerable number of cases are of extreme relevance, though
can you write compilers in elixir ? how does its interactive programming compare to that of Lisp ?

Looks like I'm going on a similar path. Your comment gave me relief.
I think the need for AI/machine learning to predict what you want has kind of brought us here.

Imagine a Facebook or Instagram not mining your data to show you what they think you want - the results in your timeline will be a grand hash of all the think that's new and happening.

That would have been a vastly different experience.

Except for perhaps Reddit, every other big site today personalizes your content and this has made the internet boring for me.

The only place i discovew new content is Reddit, but again its front page is full of memes and American content.
I am certain I'm in the wrong here but I'm struggling to understand Arrow's USP. I (originally) assumed it meant python/R users would be able to get around memory limitations when model-fitting but all the examples I've come across are just data manipulation and none of the main modeling packages support it. Those who are using it, what am I missing?
Song mocking Chinese nationalists as ‘Fragile’ goes #1 on HK and Taiwan YouTube
Of course it was asked before COVID-19: there's no point in taking a vaccine for a disease you already had because the vaccine is not more virus-like than the virus itself. By definition there is no event closer to infection than infection; for the body, a vaccine is always a trial run. Hence things like chickenpox parties. There wasn't raging debate about this because it's obvious and uncontested.

It's quite sad to see people now claiming it's some kind of novel scientific question about natural immunity vs not. This is basic, high school level biology. It's not advanced stuff and the people claiming otherwise are invariably using bad science to do so. For example, claims that infection doesn't stop reinfection are often based on studies with so few cases of reinfection that it'd fall below the noise floor for almost any testing system. The belief that these events are real relies on yet more bad science (the belief that mass testing has an FP rate of zero).

The reality is that natural immunity is suddenly being questioned because "vaccine zealots" are desperate to suppress any messaging that might discourage people from taking it. They've lost all perspective, which means they're making claims that are contradicting biology considered so basic and important that it's literally taught to children in school. Then they sit around looking confused, wondering why suddenly so many "anti-vaxxers" and "skeptics" came out of the woodwork.

I'm a Buddhist with a few thousand hours of meditation behind me. I remind myself daily that "I am of the nature to die; there is no way to avoid dying." I'm not particularly afraid of death or anything else.

The article says that it's the unvaccinated who are afraid, but I haven't found that to be the case at all. In my experience, it's the vaccinated who are afraid, even after they've undergone the medical procedure that's supposed to protect them.

Here are some reasons I don't want the vax. I talk about issues like this all day with other people who think like I do. They're not afraid, but they are concerned about these same issues. Maybe this idea of the magazine psychologically analyzing its ideological opponents doesn't work so well in real life.

I've become very disillusioned with this currency.

So far the only things of note that Bitcoin has achieved is having a considerable impact on global warming and making it near impossible for mere mortals to buy GPUs at reasonable prices.

Even if any of the touted advantages were to finally materialize now, it wouldn't have been worth it.

At least this NFT is clear on the 'owners' rights:

> The winning bidder now owns a record on the Ethereum blockchain that gives him or her the right to use, publicly display, copy and re-sell the NFT. But The Economist still owns the copyright and will retain a 10% royalty stake on future sales (with all proceeds going to the charity). This raises one of the fundamental questions of NFTs: what is the point of them? Unlike with a physical artwork, anyone can still download and enjoy “Down the rabbit hole”. But art has always been about claims of ownership and authenticity: it seems that for one keen crypto bidder, that is worth the price.
But the network effect of a social network is a status quo we kind of just let happen, and maybe that needs to be rethought. You could equally imagine a case where email was a walled garden — where Gmail users could only send messages to other Gmail users, Hotmail to Hotmail etc — and someone said "well, that's the nature of email platforms".

It doesn't have to be this way — if we had a common protocol for 'social' (or used & improved the ones that we already have), you could have interop of posts/comments/media between platforms and then the platform's 'secret sauce' be curation of messages, discoverability of people you might want to connect with, etc.

Facebook could focus on connecting with friends & being free but ad supported. Instagram could be only media posts & supported by sponsored influences in your timeline. Twitter could be focused on current events rather than your friends and be subscription based, etc.

Similarly with IM, we had lots of competing IRC clients when that was a thing. As products, you could easily create competing messengers that could speak to each other. You could even have additionally things on top e.g. if you have a FB<->FB message it can support 'stickers' or whatever that are outside the spec, but similar to browser development they _do_ get added to a shared spec that isn't controlled by one company.

This is probably one of the best motivations for a distributed database that I've read.

I find that it's not often that people grasp that distribution is about availability. It's obvious when you say it, but for a long time my own intuition was that distribution is about mostly durability or consensus protocols to provide total order across multiple machines. Yet these build together into availability.

In fact, I first noticed this distinction when reading Brian M. Oki's seminal 1988 paper on Viewstamped Replication, the work that would pioneer the field of consensus—a year before Paxos but with an intuitive protocol essentially identical to Raft. The surprising thing is that today many of us might have titled the paper something about "consensus" or "total order" (which it practically invented, and which was the major breakthrough, at least how to do this in the presence of network partitions) but that he titled it "Viewstamped Replication: A New Primary Copy Method to Support Highly-Available Distributed Systems".

I did a short intro talk to Viewstamped Replication (and particularly why FTP or nightly backups or manual failover are not a solution): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jlikdtm4OA

The talk is followed by interviews with Brian M. Oki and James Cowling (authors of the 1988 and 2012 papers respectively).
I’ve often thought that some of my favorite artists were completely self indulgent: only making what they thought would be interesting, without caring what other people would think of it. In that way, they only had themselves as their audience of one.

That may not be a sufficient condition for success or innovation, but I think it’s a necessary one.
I’m not convinced taxation will reduce wealth inequality. My own city spends a fortune annually on fighting homelessness. It’s now just a bloated government and homeless industrial complex that exists to “solve” homelessness, but they have no incentive to do anything about the problem because they’d work themselves out of a job.

But going to my main point - your argument is predicted on a belief that more taxes will solve problems. I think we disagree insofar as the government is competent or even really cares to solve important issues.
I'd agree with you, but the passage is really not passing any blame and is being factual, not exaggerated or flaming the authors in any way. I think it's a pretty fair observation even if critical. Doesn't mean the work so far wasn't appreciated.

For posterity, here is the passage:

> I started using Octopress back then and was still using it until today. In recent years I became frustrated with it since on every new system I had to install a version of Ruby that happened to work with Octopress, which wasn't always the case. When it did work, I started getting deprecation warnings from Ruby while compiling this blog. On top of this, Octopress seemed no longer maintained. The website says "Octopress 3.0 is Coming" but this announcement was from 2015 and the website hasn't been updated ever since. It felt like time to move on.

I agree with most of the opinions in the comments. Might be you, might be the internet might be both.

Might be you: You're bored and you're searching wrong. For a feel similar to geocities try the 'gemini' protocol. Its a text-only web that really feels like the 90s'. Lots of personnal passionnate content, new world to discover !

Might be the internet: There is a classic article "Geeks, MOPs and sociopaths" that present a classic subculture cycle [0]. 1:Passionate people start it. 2:It gains traction and looses some of its original taste. 3:Someone finds a way to make a profit out of it and optimizes it for money.
Maybe the internet is just in stage 3 and we're going to move forward ?

Might be both: There are websites that still have this old feel. I discovered some niches where things are like that. (Banjo playing, forging, local botany, local archeology) The common factor seem to be that the authors are usually neither young, nor technologically oriented. So they tend to do old-looking websites and cross referencing SPIP pages instead of "creating content" on a famous platform.
