Perhaps globally, but regionally, you're flatly wrong in at least two ways:

First, on a regional level, civilizations could heavily deforest their surrounding ecosystem to the point of devastating it and themselves with long-term consequences. A couple examples are the Romans, pre-modern Britain and of course, the Maya.

Secondly, the productive practices of pre-modern times were far less efficient in many ways than they are today, meaning not only heavy dependence on forest or at least wood resources, but also a much more impactful destruction of forest land for needs that in many societies today are handled without resotrting to wood.

You're misinformed. Read any current, mainstream work of scholarship on the issue.

EDIT: this is a bit short, but honestly, without any rancor, mainstream scholarship is pretty unanimous on this topic. Popular discourse is more divided.

I actually agree with your main point — in fact I would go further and say that in an ideal LP system, the (or at least a) source format would just simply be valid files in the target language, with any LP-related markup or whatever in the comments. The reason is so that LP programs can get contributions from "mainstream" programmers. (It's ok if the LP users have an alternative format they can write in, as long as edits to the source file can be incorporated back.)

So the following correction is not intended as disagreement but simply to share some history / facts:

> Consider this file. Those who are expected to interact with it in this form […] You aren't expected to read a literate program like this. In an ideal world, where we had computing better figured out, Knuth wouldn't interact with it like this, either.

Actually, even in the world we live in, no one is expected to read a literate program like this (Knuth has comments to that effect somewhere), and everyone is "supposed" to read the typeset program (today that would be tex.pdf or whatever). Knuth reads it off the printed book. He navigates the program using the indexes in the book, and as recently as this year he raved about how good his system was (https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb42-1/tb130knuth-tuneup21.pdf):

> While I was preparing this round of updates, I was overjoyed to see how well the philosophy of literate programming has facilitated everything. This multifaceted program was written 40 years ago, yet I could still get back into TeX’s darkest corners without trouble, just by rereading [B] and using its index and mini-indexes! I can’t help but ascribe most of TeX’s success to the fact that it has enabled literate programming.

This works for him, because he started programming in the days when program "listings"—printouts of source code—were the most common way to read programs, and it's also how he wrote TeX (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10172924: “Knuth wrote the entirety of the first version of TeX on yellow legal note pads, and then typed it all in, and then started debugging” — he worked full-time on the program, writing it with pencil on paper, over several months, before typing a single word of it into a computer). And of course, he's a professional book-reader and book-writer (and book-tweaker, as his books keep getting newer editions and updates), so it comes naturally to him.

Until "modern classics" education became a thing, Latin was arguably a still living language, if in limited use (mainly among the clergy, certain professions and educated circles, and effectively official language of certain countries).

Then ~17th century modern classics turned latin education into navel gazing on the topic of bunch of roman republic/empire era works, and disregarded actually using it.

Lol. No offense, but I did a report in uni comparing a few alternatives (asn.1, json/xml over http, protobuf v1 (it's a while ago).

And on one hand, sure asn.1 exists, on the other there's been some issues in for example nfs. I don't think you want asn.1 today - but maybe cap'n'proto.

But i think redis is probably an interesting approach.

Not sure how many of these beyond whatever/http2 have a sane pipelining+authenticated encryption story? I suppose you could "dictate" security at the ip level via vpn/wireguard or something. Or use Unix sockets.
> BTW I am deeply surprised that there has never been a cloud hypervisor doomsday vulnerability that has brought down AWS or some other huge provider.

At this bitrate, and over short distances - maybe 1m, a rotating permanent magnet (or a powerful electromagnet) could also be competitive. It wouldn't work for anything with a high magnetic permeability (like iron) but for non magnetic metal or water a static field would penetrate at least a short distance, enough to go through a wall.

I've had blue collar jobs and there is indeed a strong sense of camaraderie. However, if you're not included in this camaraderie for any reason (don't like sports, certain foods, views on certain topics, quiet type that doesn't react well to jokes) it can be hell. I've never felt included in any of my workplaces. I hated watching all of my coworkers jabber for hours on end without me. I hated not being included in after-work activities. With the few work friends I've had, any rift on either end made the relationship unbearable. But now working from home, my friends are friends and my coworkers are coworkers. I never want to two to meet again.
With Elixir specifically, you have the option of clustering these things. We (fly.io) send messages between servers using NATS. This works well with geographically distributed infrastructure, messages are somewhat peer to peer. If we were using Redis, we'd need a round trip to a centralized server. And we'd need the internet to always work well.

You can do a similar thing with Elixir and your own protocol (or the Redis protocol).

I'm often test-driving stuff with unit level tests and the only times I have to mock collaborators are when the collaborators are

- not built yet.

This has nothing to do with unit/integration level testing.
I don’t agree with your interpretation of this definition. Gold is considered hard money, yet it is only a shiny rock. It is indeed the supply, ability to debase and store of value over time that makes it a hard asset.

It certainly is not satire. I believe what I wrote with great passion. I’d rather take a 51% risk (which… is not credible for many many years now) than a 100% risk my dollars are going to 0.

I agree about the fungability risk. Yes chain analytics is a thing. But it won’t be forever. Some UTXOs are bad. Not Surprisingly, enterprising folks have used various techniques to get around this. There is no mainnet filter on chain tho — a dirty utxo is as fungible as a Coinbase reward. It’s the centralized ecosystem that isn’t.

> The next generation, 20 years younger than me, is utterly fucked, in basically all ways. I thank my lucky stars that I wasn't born in the late 90s.

There's good and there's bad, it's not that clear cut.

Entry level salaries today are through the roof like nothing I've ever experienced before.

I started working in the early 90s with a masters degree from a top school (CMU) for $32K and that was a good job, most of my peers started in the high $20Ks.

According to https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ $30K then is just under $60K today.

As HN knows, starting salaries these days are way more than $60K. I've personally hired new grads for over $150K, possibly closer to $200K if the RSUs do well. That's over $100K in early-90s dollars. Even our SVP wasn't making that kind of money back then.

So the early career income potential is so high today that it actually becomes possible to implement things like FIRE and retire in your 30s.

Then you also have:

- bakfietsen (cargo bikes)

- delivery bikes

- e-scooters (45 kph)

- regular scooters

- mopeds

And all of those you can encounter on a bike path. I cycle daily with my kids on the way to school in traffic and I spent a lot of time over the years educating them to be safe. This is pretty hard work because kids really have the attention span of mosquitos and tend to be very easily distracted.

The scooters are the biggest danger, followed by cars, cars, cars and cars. E-bikes and other bike like devices have never over the course of many 1000's of rides to school and back been a problem. This is NL, so that may well be different where you live, here bikes are pretty well respected in traffic as long as you don't mix it up with the cars.
Very cool project. I'm currently evaluating whether I could commute 75km per day on a pedelec. In Switzerland there is a small bike manufacturer that makes long range pedelec : https://www.speedped.com/ (German only). It's very expensive though but the battery pack can be updated to something quite impressive.
Just make it easy for people to leave feedback and don't worry about trying to trick users into talking to you. Better yet, listen to what users are saying about you to each other.

> but joining the Euro was disastrous. It bound together countries like Portugal and Germany to the same monetary policy, even though they had/have completely opposite interests.

I've often wondered about this. The US Dollar binds together poor states Alabama and rich states like California, but I don't think I've heard people arguing that two states being on a common currency contributes to the impoverishment of Alabama.

I'm sure there are important differences between the Euro and the Dollar that account for this difference in perspective, but I don't know what they are.

Yes, they’ve been discredited as a binary, true or false, lie detector. However a skilled investigator can still use polygraphs as one tool in a toolbox to hone in on particular areas.

That’s what most people who have never been granted or interviewed for clearances don’t quite get. You could technically have the same level, but not the same access. It’s compartmentalized and for the exact reason as to prevent a single person from being able to leak the grand picture.

I don't think there is a meaningful clear demarcation between pedal-assist and electric motorbike. The throttle control just looks different.

On good e-bikes I've ridden, the pedaling is basically limited to telling the motor to go, no meaningful force involved. Sure, you can put "controls motor with button" and "controls motor with pedal" into different legal categories, but I doubt there is much of a benefit in doing so.

It would be interesting if there was a way to measure the voltage difference between two memory addresses and if it was equal, the bits would be all one or zero and then you just need to read one byte to see which it is. I don't know how practical that is, but it would be a constant time check.

> constraint often adds cognitive load in other ways

In my experience (and others) those constraint only reduces cognitive load, it can increase actual performance load, and can make certain algorithms "basically impossible", but you're also never actually writing those algorithms. When was the last time you ACTUALLY used dykstra's A*? Come on, most of us are writing SAASes, APIs/backends and basic frontends here (yes, the rest of you do exist), and even for shitty O(n^2) algos, your n is probably in the 10-20 range. Your bad algorithm will not take down the server.

I think the common misconception is that a security clearance gives you access to things. The reality is that a specific role / need to know gives you access to things if you have the clearance, not the other way around.

If you clear millions of people, that sounds unsafe to the general public, but it isn't really because the clearance is only a confirmation that nothing is wrong in your background. It doesn't give you any access.
Because, surprisingly, various ecosystems including Amazon rainforests are dependant on sand picked by wind from Sahara. Ecology can be weirder than you think, and having intercontinental dependencies is surprisingly common.
My understanding is that if there are doses available in your location, they will probably not be relocated to another location, and will likely just sit there until they're used or go bad. So as long as there's an excess of supply where you are, there's no harm to anyone else to make use of them, because the chances of them going to another country where people need their initial doses is pretty slim to none.

(Of course if everyone takes this advice to the point where there stops being enough supply in your area, then that will probably trigger larger orders for doses, which maybe could impact other places that need them more.)
The LLVM IR is more expressive than clang is for expressing fast-math: it supports making an operation use fast-math optimization on a per operation basis (https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#fastmath).
FTA, though the misspellings are frustrating:

In a GraphQL API, tools such as Dataloader allow you to batch and cache database calls. But in some cases, even this [isn't] enough and the only solution is to block queries by calculating a maximum execution cost or query [depth]. And any of these solutions will depend on the library you’re using.
They'd also cost half as much and allow you to upgrade disk and ram.
Which is effectively level flight / continued cruise, a low-power flight segment, not a high-powered one. That last would only apply if the aircraft had aborted an approach, which typically gives priority.

Again: the original claim was that both take-off and landing were high-fuel-consumption flight segments. That's untrue. Under normal conditions only take-off is, and even most deviations from a nominal approach have a fairly minor impact.

You're going to extreme lengths to avoid admitting this, and are making the issue personal to boot. Any particular reason for that?

Yes, like the SharedArrayBuffer that browsers disabled. There are probably roughly infinite ways to construct clocks. Closing the obvious leaks has been a stop gap while other mitigation techniques are rolling out, like site isolation.
Here's a half-baked idea. The big problem with many next-generation electric cells like lithium-airs is that they have a short lifespan, right? But aircraft, unlike domestic cars, already have a fairly intensive maintenance schedule. Might it be feasible to just completely replace the batteries a few times every year? Obviously the manufacturing cost of the batteries, net of whatever you recover from recycling them, would have to be not too crushing.
Isomorphic as vector spaces, meaning that their additive structure is the same. But the complex numbers are usually not used as a vector space, but rather as an algebraic field, i.e. considering both their additive and multiplicative structure.
