> How did you come up with $1 as the market clearing price?

I made it up. It could be $5, or more.

> At what monthly price point would you decide to dissolve your marriage?

That's a difficult question, and it varies over the years. For example I paid several dozens of thousands to get out of my first marriage, while I am willing to sacrifice a lot to keep my current wife.

I think the fact that this model is almost purely voluntary from an enforcement PoV means that the couple will pay what they feel is fair: bad relationship and they'd feel no obligation to pay, while a good relationship might make them feel happy to pay for a while after staying together.
This is strange and not really normal. Do you also have the problem when looking at a print of a image that has the same resolution as the monitor placed at the same distance? Does it change with the distance? Maybe your eyes have trouble focusing at close range.

In VR there is a rather large disconnect between eye convergence and focus distance that doesn't happen in real life. Eyes are converging to something far away but focusing to ~1m. Another common issue is large interpupillary distance and not being in the lenses sweet spot. But if you also have the issue on regular monitors without stereo it might be something else.
> and is not very accurate historically. The mans in the first versions of UNIX used to show how to do syscalls both in Fortran and C

I don't know what early versions and manuals you mean because that wasn't in v6 or v7. Was there Fortran on UNIX before F77 was introduced in v7?
Riding on the sidewalk is a terrible idea. The sidewalk is for pedestrians, not people weaving around on bikes.

I'm massively pro-cycling, but bikes belong either in dedicated infrastructure or on the roads. Roads must not be monopolized by motor traffic — everyone pays for this infrastructure through taxation and it should serve everyone equally well.

I meant competitive and edited my post now to reflect that and I stand by it. I can only speak for myself with certainty but the benefits never outweighed the costs until more recent languages. If there were really alternatives then more things would have been written in them instead of in C or moving to higher-level languages.

Therefore any government making anything illegal is bad.

In simulation it's sufficient to compute accurate cycle information, yet slower than real time, or with jitter.

In contrast to that "cycle accurate modelling" the goal here was to replace a pdp11 in operation.

>A modern startup could certainly use .NET 6 instead of the framework of the month to write their world-shattering program, but they won't, because .NET isn't cool. A lot of .NET jobs are in stuffy enterprises where you likely won't be paid to write a backend to a Svelte SPA in .NET 6, you will be paid to maintain an ASP.NET WebForms 2.0 monster that uses WCF to talk to some SOAP/XML webservices.

I get paid to write a modern microservice based application using .NET, Kubernetes, Docker, Consul, Redis, Postgres. I can't say it's boring. But it is true, the app is for an enterprise, not a startup. The payment is relatively good and the app is making money for the company, so we aren't a cost center.

Ask HN: Could VSCode be the new Emacs?
TL;DR: Why isn't VSCode the new Emacs?

VSCode is clearly a code editor. Emacs is used by many as an operating system / UI framework / app platform.

Emacs's adepts have been using it for email, calendars, process management, taking notes, terminal GUI, coding (dah), and some even browse the web without leaving it.

I've been using Orgmode (+ org-roam) for a couple of years already and no other software can replace it for me.

I have huge respect for this almost 40 years old piece of technology and all the people keeping it alive and active. I love the hacker community around it.

All that said, I mostly hate using Emacs. It's slow (I have i7 with 4 cores and 32Gb of RAM). Emacs Lisp drives me crazy. I constantly mis-press some weird key chord and enter a state where I can't do anything unless I restart the app. It's hard for me to find docs on how to integrate with various parts of the UI, so I mostly rely on reading the source code of different extensions. Two years in, I still can't read Emacs Lisp well.

I feel unproductive when changing how Emacs behaves. And I've been coding for 7+ years, including functional programming.

---

Now, I've been using VSCode for quite a while (after 4 years of Vim).

I've noticed that, on the surface, VSCode extensions can do everything Emacs does.

If you think about it, VSCode is a UI framework too — there's an API for all the UI components such as the sidebar or the text editor area itself; and you can also add your custom commands that can be triggered in a number of ways.

Which means you can actually implement things like Orgmode in VSCode.

Also:
- You are coding using the most popular ecosystem in the world (Web).
- The community is larger than one of Emacs.
- The docs are much friendlier.

---

From what I understand, the main difference is that with Emacs you can start hacking any part of the environment right from the start. It's designed to be played with.

With VSCode, you just have a strictly defined JSON config file, and everything else requires you to work with "extensions" which sounds like something less accessible and "oh, that sounds grand, I'm not sure how deep that rabbit hole is". You can't just open a file, define a new hook or whatever and now your VSCode behaves differently.

But are there any other reasons, technical or otherwise, why people don't seem to use VSCode for things beyond editing code?

If only you could open some special file, write some Typescript, and modify anything about VSCode in a dirty hacker manner, would you use it?
I noticed it depends a lot on the actual expertise of the commenter. Some are really high end, and comments follow to be interested. If it’s not, you see counterpoints arise fairly quickly.
> Is complementing someone's hat really worth the potential anxiety?

I still remember the compliments one of my jackets got me 1, 4 and 6 years ago. That probably helped making it my favorite jacket, especially since those are the only non-family compliments I got in the past 10 years.

When you like something about someone, please make their year and compliment them on it.
I spent time in Paraguay back in 2003. There was a similar attitude towards Alfredo Stoessner amongst many Paraguayans who were old enough to remember his regime (ended in 1989). Here the driver I was most aware of was street crime: robbery was commonplace, and many of the criminals carried guns and weren't afraid to use them. Whereas in Stroessner's time you could walk the streets at night in safety because the criminals would all have been imprisoned or killed.

(18 years later I have no idea how the situation might have changed.)
People seem to gloss over the first example (Project Memento) which I think is a great example where NFTs make sense. It's just a configuration with a fixed value (the coordinates) and a dynamic value you can actually change yourself (the letter). Other apps and games can use the same NFTs to build something different based on the same coordinates.

Let's say I build a war game where Project Memento NFTs decide ownership of land on map. The blockchain is an open API and players just need to connect their wallets to my game in order to play. HyperDragons eating CryptoKitties to grow stronger is a good example of one app using NFTs from another.

Art NFTs on the other hand are more like digital signatures. It doesn't really matter what is stored in the NFT. What gives it value is the fact that it was minted by X (where X can be an artist or a service). Yeah, you can use IPFS or store a hash but what's the point? You're buying the bragging rights, nothing else.
>So I know that ePub is a packaged bundle of HTML + CSS. I could see SVG in there. Does it also include JS?

ePub does include Javascript, including the SVG ability to include a script element, which IMHO shouldn't have ever existed in the first place. But the JS version is never specified, and it's unclear what's really supported besides the navigator element which is mentioned in the spec.

In fairness, PDFs also support JS, but most PDF viewers are sane enough to just ignore it - haven't done a check of ePub readers, but I suspect it's not much different.

>A static or slow-moving subset of HTML could be reasonable.

Latest ePub specs (v3.1+) explicitly commit to supporting latest HTML5. Quoting the 3.2 spec:

"The biggest change in EPUB 3.2 is the relationship to the core web specs of HTML, CSS, and SVG. In the past EPUB has pointed to a particular dated version of HTML or CSS. EPUB 3.2 now officially supports the current versions of HTML, CSS, and SVG, as defined by the W3C. These versions will evolve over time, allowing EPUB to remain up-to-date with the web."
L2 is probably a better choice here IMHO. Maybe Polygon?

As regards PoW vs PoS: this is a huge argument - both for and against.

PoW can act like an electricity buyer of last resort, soaking up excess waste and enabling green business models for power provision to be viable.

As embeddable scripting languages go it's pretty straightforward IME? I agree that you probably want a safer language for building large systems (Tcl is significantly older than OCaml, which I'd argue is the language that popularised non-cumbersome type systems), but considered as a language in the Perl/Python/Ruby/Lua kind of space, Tcl is reasonably clean IMO.

The Elphi could be seen as of corruption, since the whole project was initially advertised at costing the city about a hundred and something millions, the rest to be raised by private donations, 30 to 40 million initially IIRC.

Now the town basically has subsidized a hotel, a few luxury condos, some gastronomy, and got a few classic music venues which it could have gotten otherwise, and cheaper. Besides that it already had those before.

Furthermore I don't see the need to fake the look of this

[1] https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaispeicher_A#/media/Datei:Kai...

by totally removing the core of it, and putting that new thing on top, instead of simply tearing it down, and build something really new from the bottom up.

I mean, if it had been this building

[2] https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaispeicher_A#/media/Datei:Kai...

it would at least have had a history, including the timeball on top of it, which signalled the ships the exact time they could adjust their chronometers to at exact 12:00hrs.

But it wasn't. Just a functional building to store cocoa and coffee beans, built in 1963 over the ruin of the former building.

Was that worth to uphold the facade of? 798.000.000€ for the town, and about 100.000.000€ by some fanbois, and who knows who?

I don't get it.

> I think a lot of it is to just support artists.

To me that assertion, albeit convenient to paint a rosy picture, doesn't make any sense. No one needs a convoluted technical scheme to support artists as donating cash is easy and effortless. Buying the rights to a work from an artist also does not require a convoluted technical scheme, and considering that NFTs haven't been used to enforce any right then that hypothesis is also highly dubious.

What NFTs offer is the ability to perform transactions, and ones which don't have any artist or provenance in consideration.
I read the first six paragraphs and still really had no idea what this is talking about. Can anyone help me understand?
Actually learning sign language (the alphabet) is very beneficial in general, also when you are hearing. The ability to talk over large distances or when its very crowded. Takes a few days to learn at most.
Not really a fair comparison, as moving traditional money becomes harder and harder, to the point where law abiding citizens can get caught in a trap, should they move or handle too large sums incorrectly.

And it's going to get much harder. There's a reason for the push to cashless societies.
> I agree mostly, but I'm going to nitpick: not all open source software is "free" in either sense of the term.

To a first approximation, it is. The opensource definition [0] and the free software one [1] are basically equivalent in outcome, just not in the philosophy behind them.

The license lists are also basically identical, except for the Open Watcom license, where, tbh, someone at the OSI smoked the wrong thing. It's also essentially unused.

I believe it really boils down to consensus. If enough entities in a community "accepts" some platform/publisher as valid, those collectibles created by those entities (which can easily be validated on the chain) will have subjective value. Just like money: it's a piece of paper but enough people/companies/governments legally accept it so that paper now has a value more than it's physical components. I can print money too but it will be fake and worthless, even if I print it on a more expensive paper. An NFT is just some bits on a blockchain after all, but when enough people accept those "bits" by a particular entity, they are worth something. Sure anyone can clone/copy paste those JPEGs and mint them just as I can print dollars on my home printer, but as long as they aren't issued by an entity that many trust (e.g. A legally accepted central bank) they are worthless. Which in this case community is free to choose their central bank and currency, and change if they have the interest, creating a whole new economic system.

>They're just as dangerous to the user as a moped.

In the UK (and the EU) they are restricted to 15 mph so no different to a traditional bike. If you want a speed pedelec (28 mph) then it needs to be registered like a moped and mostly can't go on bike paths.
I'm assuming you know all your numbers right?

If this were me, I think I'd start the marketplace you need to exist.

The work you do has a number and I'm guessing that it starts with Millions so your marketplace needs to reflect that in it's branding.

This reminds of something I read about Crew. I'll try and find the original story, but generally the founder was running out of money/customers etc and started a side project you may have heard of called: UnSplash.

So start the Marketplace you need. a place for customers looking for front end work upto $X or whatever. Then let Google do your prospecting. I mean use SEO etc.
As a random example, the justification presented for VS Code using "up arrow" to view the search & replace history is that it matches the "bash standard". Every other Windows text editor in the history of the world uses down-arrow.

Similarly, Microsoft broke how clear screen works in both Windows Terminal and VS Code to match the UNIX terminal standard.

Hint: Neither of these are standards by any definition, and UNIX people were arguing over both of these things at length themselves.

Before we forget: VS Code is made by Microsoft employees and is primarily deployed by people using Microsoft Windows.

But it has to adhere to the "standards" that Microsoft developers are used to and expect.

If your goal was honestly to just buy art, why would "gas fees" matter? They only matter in a scenario involving wash trades and high rates of transactions involving small deltas in price.

> You're effectively saying that a baseball player can't enjoy the act of swinging their bat or throwing the ball, just because it's not the end goal. This is obviously untrue for so many reasons, and I'm struggling to understand why you're so caught up on there only being one way to enjoy something -- and that way has to be your way.

Video games about baseball do not come with bat controllers to swing - you press buttons to play. So clearly swinging the bat is not the point of baseball, or baseball video games would include that aspect.

As soon as any significant fraction of people use them they become congested, slow, and dangerous to pedestrians. Slowing to 5km/h repeatedly whilst waiting for an opening for a large portion of your journey makes commuting far less pleasant and severely limits viable range, and being overtaken constantly is unpleasant and dangerous for pedestrians.

The separated bike lane *and* the mixed use path is the end goal, but if the immediate goal is to save the city money and make people healthier rather than create conflict and negative sentiment towards cycling, then you need a separate route for ebikes and more experienced commuters. Sharrows or magic paint suffice for this (at least temporarily) with adequate traffic calming or if the main car flow has an alternate route.
I think they address the why:

“Household balance sheets are now in a materially better state than they were pre-pandemic, as MP3 created a significant amount of wealth, pushing up the value of assets like equities, housing, cryptocurrencies, and so on. These gains have been broad-based across the economy, not just in the top decile or quantile. Ongoing stimulative financial conditions have further lowered debt service costs, and incomes have also benefited as economies have reopened. In short, households are wealthy, flush with cash, and ready to spend—setting the stage for a lasting, self-reinforcing surge in demand.”
