That's what they said about the French Revolution, American democracy, the abolition of Russian serfdom, the abolition of US slavery, the Paris Commune, the Bolshevik Revolution, Prohibition, the Holocaust, the establishment of the State of Israel, the Great Leap Forward, the Iranian Revolution, etc.

I mean, that's also what they said about lots of other changes that actually didn't get implemented. And, as the examples above illustrate, it's easy for radical changes to have unintended effects...

> we see "cases skyrocketing". But what does that really mean?

How about more people dying? You can't die twice. Take Germany for example. In August there were about 15 deaths per day, now it's more than 200. Another big country, Poland: over the summer there were less than 10 deathy daily, now it's about 300. Hungary is smaller, but while in the summer there were consistently less than 5 deaths daily, now it's almost 150. If this is not skyrocketing, then what is?

I’m by no means an expert but even the OS’s scheduler can cause pauses on the range of 1ms — so the applications that can’t use Java, cannot really use ordinary OSs to begin with, can they?

Like, yeah, I would probably not write something like pipewire (linux’s new audio processing project) in Java, but other than that and like some really low latency trading niche (where FPGAs are dominant now as even general CPUs are slow), where would it preclude the usage of Java?
> Aside from forcing vim onto innocent users?

Actually, `sudo -e` forces VIM onto innocent users. You are free to `sudo nano` if that's your preference.

> `sudo -e` runs a few file copies / move as root.

Interesting, thank you, I did not know that the editor is not run as root with -e. So presumably that means that it will have my environment, e.g. will run my .vimrc? Though that could be an attack vector too.
Yes, manual memory management can always be better with arbitrary amounts of tuning. However, I think the more interesting question is how the overheads compare in typical applications written in a reasonably straightforward and maintainable style. In practice, fragmentation can be a difficult problem to avoid when using manual memory management. For example, Firefox struggled with it for a long time.
That is a straw man. This is not my definition of crime, I was thinking things like money laundering, tax evasion, ransomware payments, and blackmarket purchases.

I'm genuinely not sure what a use case for unregulated financial activity would be that doesn't fall into those buckets.

Someone mentioned retaining assets in countries with hyperinflation. To me it appears a central bank digital currency would be more appropriate there.

Thinking about the security-cameras vs photographer thing:

- Security cameras: At least in theory, security camera footage is mostly private, and recorded with a specific, 'good' goal: if something happens, they have the security footage. It can be useful to me if someone robs me and they can get identified because they were filmed.

- Photographer: absolutely no use to me, and possibly going to share that picture on instagram, facebook, whatever, making 'everyone' knows that I was at there at that point.

Your comment was a significant step further into flamewar. Would you please not do that on HN? It's exactly what we're trying to avoid here, and we've already had to ask you about this multiple times.

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29330726.
I mean, all the features you're mentioning here are part of the LSP server, in the future I think this will be even more consistent across editors because the new languages like Go, Rust, etc. provide better integration tools and LSP servers so the IDEs and editors just use this server instead of implementing one for each language by themselves. If you use the same LSP it will be the same more or less but yeah, the average IDE user doesn't even know what is LSP because they don't need to.

This is similar to MacOS/Windows vs Arch Linux. If you love building and tweaking things, custom builds to suit your needs, knowing every tool that is present in your editor and/or extending it, terminal editors and arch linux is for you, if you prefer something pre-configured that just works out of the box then IDEs and MacOS/Windows is way better ofc. But I don't think that we, the vim/emacs/neovim users, stick to our editors because we are not aware of the capabilities of other IDEs. We are very aware, we are very advanced users in most cases.
I don't believe it's a strawman at all. I was a middle school teacher for years in the USA.

Modern education is overly concerned with fact memorization, since it's the easiest and most precise way to grade. In America we force (not ask) our children to attend institutions that greatly resemble totalitarian dictatorships, where they are not even allowed basic rights like bathroom use without being given permission.

Then we force them to memorize countless facts, many of which are never brought up again for the rest of their lives.

Consider this essay from 1991 from a celebrated educator. https://www.cantrip.org/gatto.html

The system we have isn't designed this way because it's best for the individual, and it's not a strawman to question it.
Communism would imply a lot more than providing a base income to everyone to keep them out of abject poverty. You might be thinking of socialist democracy which maintains a balance between unfettered capitalism and full-blown communism.

In the UK you get about 10k personal allowance before you have to start paying tax. That is one form of UBI although it requires you to earn an income (and you actually start to lose this allowance once you start earning over 100k). You could replace that all the same with a system that dumps 10k into your account every year and then starts taxing you for every penny earned (at a higher rate).

We have had the past 100-or-so years to learn, empirically, that both unfettered capitalism and full-blown communism are not particularly good ways to maintain a healthy society.
I believe the answer there is military enforced/backed vaccine mandate. To my knowledge so far Israel is the only state in the world to in some cases quite literally put guns to people's heads to take the vaccine. Don't know if it is the right approach or not, but in world vaccination statistics it has been a leading approach.
To be clear, I'm not talking about QE, but specifically minting of actual paper currency and just handing it out to every citizen. It seems like that should directly create as much inflation as you want, without creating any debt.

People living under a corrupt government and experiencing hyperinflation are no safer or necessarily better off with cryptocurrency. Conducting cryptocurrency transactions requires a non-trivial amount of infrastructure. Even "offline" transactions with a Rube Goldbergian number of mesh network components needs all those components to work.

A fortune in Bitcoin in a conflict/disaster zone is no more useful than a fortune in dollars in a bank if you can't access it readily. Your fortune means shit if you can't buy a loaf of bread.

Even if you can access the infrastructure necessary to spend cryptocurrency to buy a loaf of bread they provide no protection against localized inflation. Prices of goods in a conflict zone increase significantly due to dangers/difficulty associated with the supply chain or lack thereof. Sometimes they increase due simply to greed. Transacting in a cryptocurrency doesn't help at all with this. Your Bitcoin fortune can be wiped out just feeding your family since your only other option is to starve to death.

Sure. I guess what I’ve come to accept more is that what people on Wall Street do is real. Games are real. I don’t personally buy into the “new world currency”, “real world use case, I’m gonna own my house on a blockchain” lines of thinking. The use case is still being fleshed out but in my opinion it’s much more likely to produce lots of Citadels than lots of Amazons or Googles if that makes sense. Whereas I think that HN believes it will just go away because it’s all a scam.

Actually you can, as long as it doesn't use Win10 APIs (or use them via dynamic loading) it will work on Win7.

The issue with glibc is that when you use it it adds requests for the latest versions of the exported symbols that the glibc you use in your system has. You can work around this in a variety of ways (e.g. use __asm__ to specify the version you want and use the header files of an older glibc to ensure that you aren't using incompatible calls) but you need to go out of your way to ensure that whereas in Windows you can just not use the API (well, also make sure your language's runtime library doesn't use the API either but in practice this is less of a concern).

I wonder if there is a blog post in this somewhere, that I could write.

I have a bunch of Pi 4s (4GB). I just put one in an Argon M.2 case and was wondering what to do with it.

I have a "gut feel" for how my workstation should behave, I am a (backend) software engineer by profession, tend to work my day job on an i7 laptop (XPS 15, Ubuntu) but at home I'm on Ryzen 7 1800X (Manjaro) and Ryzen 9 3900X (Debian).

Is there some useful non-benchmark type "measurements" I could take by using a Pi as a workstation for a few days, that people would be interested to read about?

Also funny is like police unions quickly protested against, I guess significant part of their 'success' is coming from this. In US I think also companies owning private prisons push anti-legalization propaganda. As they say, just follow the money...
An interesting point that isn't made super clear in the article: ATAPI basically _is_ SCSI, just encapsulated in ATA commands over an ATA bus. This is possible because SCSI is more a network protocol with a lot underlying physical encapsulations. The PI in ATAPI stands for [SCSI] Packet Interface.

So it's no wonder that ATAPI killed off SCSI CD drives in PCs. Since it _was_ SCSI, it really just killed off having to buy an extra host bus adapter card to send the same command set.
>I have to not only have 20% down payment, but also clean credit and a secure job

Have you talked to a mortgage broker lately? In my locale, very few first time buyers are going to be in a place where they have to put down 20%. There are so many state programs available for first-time buyers and so many different loan options. I understand you are in SFO, but a lot of the frustrations you are expressing in your posts above are very localized to California and to SFO and don't really match the left/right politics of the rest of the country.
Usually if I meet resistance I backtrack and try something else sooner than later within the same sprint.

You can usually feel if your codebase isn't flexing properly and the change is going against the grain.

I don't think that is different whether you split up the work or do it in a single sprint. Personally I think you can see from the top down and get a better vision the longer you are working in something which helps with that specific problem.
You assume there is a correlation between USD and BTC. Another way to see this is this:

If USD prices rise, the price of BTC will also rise, as BTC is another product you can buy with your USD. Meaning your bitcoin wealth is not affected by USD inflation.
A stock literally represents a unit of ownership of the underlying company. No, it's not tangible in the "I can touch it" sense - unless you get a LOT of it as you said, but it's backed by hundreds of years of contract law precedent. When I own stock I get quarterly reports on the performance of the company - revenue, profit, etc. - these allow me to evaluate whether I think the company is doing well or poorly and gauge if I want to continue to invest.

Whether the stock pays dividends or not isn't really relevant to my argument. My point is that the price of Bitcoin is completely divorced from any sense of economic "value". There are no earnings to forecast, no revenues to examine. The only way to determine if bitcoin is going to go up or down is gauging sentiment (i.e. groupthink) or just faith. Even sports betting provides more information for decision making like past performance of the athletes.
> An absolute color space exists. It's called XYZ. We could use it. Some image formats support it.

XYZ is really annoying to work in though. ACES is a pragmatic solution here, quite literally: https://blog.frame.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/ACES-APO.jp...

Okay, fair enough two out of three primaries are imaginary colors, but nobody said you have to use the whole color space when your processing pipeline is meant to be using 32 bit floats. Delivery formats might want to be using a more real color space.
On the one hand, I get that not everybody needs all the features of sudo, but on the other.... Sudo is way more useful than doas. If you really go through all its functionality, you start using it in ways you didn't think to before.

You can have a custom AuthZ solution and automatically inherit sudo permissions based on groups. It supports a configurable askpass. You can background jobs, change working directory, selectively pass or set environment variables, set $HOME, use a login shell, preserve origin groups, use a chroot, read a password from STDIN, override the shell, set a timeout. And of course the sudoedit features.

I know we all like programs that "do one thing well", but sometimes the best way to support all the use cases we want is a big honking program.

The market is nothing but the sum of all the actors in the market. If the value created by SWEs doubled (even if only for 10% of participants), the market equilibrium would be higher because of the increased demand for SWEs. If it was instead cut in half (even for only 10% of participants), the market equilibrium would be lower due to decreased demand.

I can’t see any reasonable way that the market for SWEs “has nothing to do” with the value created by them.

$0.035/GB sounds about an order of magnitude too high once you get to a large scale, were these clients doing small amounts of bandwidth?

On the other hand, $0.0021/GB is far on the cheaper end of the spectrum, who is it that offers something that low?

Agreed all around that the pricing is frustratingly opaque.
Hmm, I don't think I am. I'm just saying that Uniswap for non-crypto assets isn't really a demonstration of how cool crypto is.
As a recovering addict I’m quite mixed about legalisation. On one hand it helps out a lot of people and removes stigma around a form of indulgence. At the same time this is probably creating orders of magnitude more addicts. The adverse effects of a strong dependence can be severe: from people letting life blast past them without much realisation to lung/brain function/psychological disorders. I wish we could have a proper debate about this to work out a regulated form of legalisation. Somehow this too is politicised and there’s a lot of misinformation (“weed is not addictive “ etc) so we get the bipolar version of this issue as we do with pretty much everything else these days

> despite the only evidence being (usually) presented is an example of a web browser from 20 years ago!

Actually normally the evidence is lots of other companies that failed to do rewrites. It's just that one was a full scale fuck up. I'm currently working at a company that literally it's echoing Netscape. The issue wasn't the rewrite it was rushing a half finished rewrite out the door. It was stopping product development for so long.

My current employer started a rewrite but called it a migration gave it a 3 month deadline. 3-months to write all the features it took 7 years to write. They realised this was impossible and remove a bunch of features and decided this rewrite would remove features they will add back later. But they still kept on setting months for something that has taken 18 months so far with even more features removed. It almost a daily thing that yet another product feature was removed to cut down time. They claimed they were feature complete in september because it had to be done under all circumstances, they found out they hadn't done 50% of the features they said they would. So with more rushing of the features they hadn't written they then started talked about releasing it before it had passed QA. They announced the release date before it had passed QA. We have partners using it and saying it's broken for them. They don't have all the data. And yet they're still releasing it on Monday. Why? Because it had to be done in 2021. They're rushing a half finished rewrite out the door to hit a target set by management. So they spent 18-months removing features and when they release it, it will be buggy.

So, yea I mention Netscape a lot because honestly, this sounds the same. Rush out a half done rewrite while allowing the competitors to improve their product while we made ours worse.

> Having rewritten a bunch of systems (sometimes several times) I can attest that it will not always lead to the death of the company. The trick is of course having modular enough systems that they can be rewritten from scratch in a reasonable amount of time.

I would say that the trick is not to do the rewrite. You refactor each part until the entire system is rewritten.

The fact that it's a more established asset class with wider adoption does make it more useful to most people, but this isn't due to anything intrinsic to bitcoin or dogecoin
