> Computers also generate heat. Wish I could use cryptocurrency miners for my heating needs. Why burn fuel or pass current through resistances for that?

Realistically? Cost. If your goal is to heat a space, it's much cheaper and more reliable to NOT use thousands of dollars of silicon. Doing calculations based on the site below, you might be able to heat a smallish bedroom with a very beefy PC. I can get a space heater that puts out that much heat for less than $50 and is far less likely to stop working (e.g. heatsink gets clogged and system overheats).

I totally understand it, but I’m still a bit surprised by the sheer amount of dislike for standups here.

I used to be there myself but changed my mind after years of seeing programmers who complained about having to do too-frequent status updates go off into the bushes and take their code off the rails for weeks at a time to build the wrong thing.

While standups are indeed a context switch and feel like they sap productivity, there’s nothing less productive than people who run off quietly and build something you dont need or want, or people who over-engineer things because they’re worried about requirements they don’t have, or sometimes just to flex. The scale of productivity loss that I’ve personally witnessed of programmers not talking things out properly is so much larger than the 30 minutes it takes to sit through standup, they’re just incomparable.

Standup doesn’t automatically fix this issue, but it seems to have helped, from what I’ve seen.

I liked the idea (I think it was from Semler's book, but may also be from 37signals), that meetings are always optional. If you have organised a meeting and nobody came, it just means that no one saw any value in it.
Remember that Docker does cache intermediary builds (each Dockerfile line being a build) so when you are developing, avoid editing any existing lines and then combine it back together when you get it working.

Deployment of Docker is gross, but I think that’s because that space IMO is very immature.

From my experience, when something has a poor interface (Backbone.js, AngularJS, UMD, etc.) I avoid learning it because I know something is going to replace it. Kubernetes is currently squarely in that boat as far as I am concerned.

And so it begins.

In the developed world in particular, we're seeing the move away from fossil-fuel power. This is good but currently relatively expensive.

Crypto mining is starting to have very real impact on the ability of other people to live. It is adversely and disproportionately affecting poor people (who pay a greater share of their income for power).

And at best crypto provides extremely limited utility for society.

Crypto-mining apologists will point to figures that say "crypto-mining uses mostly renewable energy". What this actually means is that crypto-mining is focused on areas that have hydroelectric power because it's the cheapest, generally.

While you might say that's still good, it's starting to raise prices for other people. this has been an issue in towns on the Hudson Valley in New York, for example.

Even if you believe the overall impact of crypto-mining is small I guarantee you it's only a matter of time before politicians start using crypto-mining as a convenient whipping boy.

When your solution to "make something secure" is to isolate instances of it in airtight sandboxes, IT IS NOT SECURE.

Theoretically Xorg can be made fully secure: just isolate clients so they can only receive events and bitmap information from windows created on the same client connection. It would be relatively straightforward, if quite involved, to implement.

But nobody wants to implement it because everyone qualified to do so has jumped ship to Wayland. The X architecture is so fatally flawed that the most straightforward way to fix it is to start from scratch, and that's what Wayland is.

X is like global warming: one hundred percent of the people who are in the least wise knowledgeable agree that it is a problem. Unlike global warming, however, that problem has a fix: Wayland.

So just... shut up with the irrelevant bullshit and use Wayland, like all the Linux graphics maintainers and distro maintainers want you to do and have been telling you to do for years now... or find your shit unsupported.
A statement like "complex machines all the way down" implies precisely that molecules would be different without context because of some lower-level machinery that forms a more fundamental building block of life. This is what I am skeptical of.

Resistive heaters use energy to create heat. Heat pumps use energy to move heat.

For a resistive heater, its taking 1 energy unit from the wall and putting 1 energy unit into the air.

A heat pump will use one unit of energy from the wall to take 3-5 units of energy from one side of the system and dump that 3-5 units of energy to the other side of the system.

Anything based on RSA, factoring primes, will be vulnerable. There are lots of forms of encryption which no quantum algorithm is known to process faster -- I believe elliptic key crypto is one. I don't know whether any cryptocurrency uses such alternative encryption schemes.
You don't have to use a mobile phone/SMS for Google 2FA. You can use:

- TOTP or HOTP generator (on any platform, PC, Mac, iOS, Android, whatever).

- Trusted Device.
Technically if all electric space heaters were crypto miners as well then crytpo mining would be well distributed, resistant to attack and unprofitable to mine - win, win, win.

Edit: Looks like matheusmoreira below doesn’t understand a 500w electric heater and a 500w crypto miner produce the same amount of heat and use the same amount of electricity.

Got a 2FA prompt for my Google account which said something like: 'Tap the confirm button on your phone to verify it's you'. Just dawned on me I switched to a dumbphone about 5 years ago for privacy reasons and binned my smartphone. So no more Google account for me.

It makes me wonder how many people are going to be locked out of their accounts because of these changes. So many people looking for a human. Sadly Google support is famously terrible, and 99% of queries are just Google replying back saying: 'RTFM' or 'Please refer to the FAQ for support'.
Google locking me out of my account, despite me providing valid credentials, was the catalyst in de-googlifying my life.

The inherent tradeoff with information security is convenience. For a personal account, the user should decide where they want to exist on that curve. Google's assumptions that I have perpetual access to a cellular device, or a consistent ISP, are user hostile.

I'm not an economist, but I'm curious about this topic.

If, say, an iPhone cost $20k (because of emissions and slave/inhumane labor), obviously us normal folks (or poor folks) wouldn't own one, but would they still be produced for the grotesquely wealthy among us or would they just be scrapped or would the supply chain optimize for the new cost-structure and stop using slave labor to bring it down to a more reasonable price?

Exactly, the lower limit, when hydrogen has escaped into the air, not when air has leaked into the contained hydrogen. The article makes clear that above 75% H2, ignition is impossible (but only if you read it).

"Traveling along grain boundaries" can only leak trace amounts. With, as I said, positive airflow, trace leaks can be constantly diluted below the concentration where ignition is possible.

This is true for bitcoin. It failed at everything it set out to be and yet it is the most mined coin. Truly a waste of energy.

There are better projects out there which actually provide value and utility. Monero is an example. It's pretty sad that bitcoin is still number one despite the existence of these projects.
Ask HN: VoIP number that is not blocked by services and can recieve short codes?
More and more services require 2 factor sms verification to sign in, but some of us travel internationally and often change phone numbers. There are many VoIP providers, but the vast majority of those phone numbers are either blocked completely by most services or can't receive short code sms.

Does anyone know of a reliable option of getting a phone number that would work over internet, while appearing as a "real" phone number, most importantly not showing up as a voip number and being able to receive the short code sms?

Yes, it’s immensely frustrating when a service doesn’t support proper 2FA or forces weak SMS as a backup to proper 2FA, undermining much of its value.

So while I support asking people to reconsider if they need a Google account, I would never recommend alternatives that lack 2FA and where possible, I refuse to use services that lack 2FA myself. Unfortunately there are still some categories like banking where TOTP, FIDO, etc is practically unheard of.
My ramen experiences in Japan are very different to the ones abroad. In Japan, ramen is meant to be pretty quick, taking "fast food" to a whole other level: you go in, order and pay, sit down, eat, then leave. The eating environment is often either a tiny table, a seat at a bar or a small booth. It's usually not a place for social get togethers.

In Europe on the other hand, they're usually normal sit down restaurants. You have to go through the normal dance of waiting to be seated, ordering with the server, waiting 10-15 mins for your food then trying to get somebody's attention to pay when you're done.
Science is a process that will get things wrong and is full of experimentation. Unfortunately, this is lost on people, surprisingly some very smart people who should know better.

When you have people screaming at the top of their lungs:
The Science is Settled!!111
They are Science Deniers!!!
Science does not care about your opinion!!!
Etc.

And then scientific learning happens, all those people who were screaming look like dogmatic idiots to those who they were screaming at. It doesn't matter they the ones screaming adopted the new position. I will pull out the old and tired mask issue; when this first started, the people on the "side of science" were screaming that the masks did not help and they trotted out all sorts of scientific studies to back this up, from virus size vs mask to saying ti would be harmful due to keeping more virus at your face. Those who thought masks were important all looked around and said "If masks are such a bad idea, then why are the doctors all wearing them". Now we know it was a stupid and harmful lie.

It is incredible what we accomplished in a year but it is also very frustrating to see how stupidly political and how unnecessarily opaque everyone is being. From the mask lie to the vaccination tempo(we pushed for a shorter amount of time between both shots because we were worried about followup, now we need a third shot?). No-one is willing to sit down and frankly state what we know and what we doesn't know. Our media isn't willing to accept it either. Trust is a two way street but We are all so afraid that uncertainty will breed fear that we take strong positions and end up killing trust.
To give some statistics, apparently 71% of solar modules are made in China (according to data[0] from 2019). I don't know what percentage of those modules are made using "concentration camp slave labor".

What is surprising about a bunch of introverted people not wanting to be forced to stand up and loudly declare what their day was like to the entire team every day?
The thing I like about agile development is that you constantly evaluate your process and change it to the better. In most teams I worked with we reduced the dailys to occur two or three times a week. Also trying to keep them to only be a short status update for the team. Who is working on what and if there are any news or issues everybody should know about.

And you can always use a safe word like SUMO.

What is really hurting a team are the renegades. People who think they are so great that they can bypass any process or agreement. People that are always talking and never listens. People with own agendas. People never showing up when key decisions are about to be made. People that take huge risks for no good reason. People that always try to solve problems themself and then blame others when they fail or have to much work. People that do not care about adding business value. People always making vague comments implying incompetence among others in the team by using basic mastering techniques. People that never works on anything that is in the backlog.
> What seems pretty universal is the amount of information i share nobody cares about and the amount of information other people share that i don’t care about are both quite high.

Yesterday, I asked a team member if they had QA'd my project. They said, "oh I wasn't expecting to QA your project."

Yet I told them in the standup that I needed them to QA the project and I tagged them in a story. Clearly paying attention...

During standup, I've also had people say "colmvp, you can go next" despite having already spoken.

And near the end, we often don't even remember who hadn't spoken.

I feel like standups work well for small teams, but in larger teams it just feels like it becomes impersonal and more of a thing to do to make yourself appear obedient to your manager.

> Crypto-mining apologists will point to figures that say "crypto-mining uses mostly renewable energy".

Which is a shit take anyway because that means that non-renewable energy (plus the renewable energy non-consumed by the miners) is now more expensive for everyone else, it's the basic law of supply and demand.

And in the process those miners are also making non-renewable energy a more desirable investment because it now returns more money to those who invest in it (because of said increased prices people are now forced to pay for said non-renewable energy).
