Japan and Taiwan are islands. South Korea has a strict border (DMV) with North Korea. All three countries don’t need to worry about neighbouring countries smuggling drugs into theirs. That is not the case with Singapore. Both Thailand and Burma produce a lot of drugs that end up in their city.
I've seen most of these drugs advertised on television.
I’m personally biased towards hope. Meaning that I keep thinking that things will be better and that I will reach a point where things will be meaningful. I call this a bias because I can remember the past and how long I’ve been in this state of mind without it panning out—it’s a false hope more often than not.

If average people are anything like me then I would think that they are more likely to think that a permanent problem is a temporary one rather than the other way around.
Monero is inflationary, but it has some other features (untraceability) that drive demand. It hasn't experienced the same swings that the gold-like cryptos have, though.
Is the Remarkable2 ever advertised as having Bluetooth keyboard support?

I bought mine based on the advertising which pretty clearly portrayed it as an e-ink version of a paper notebook and nothing more.
The parent is talking about using blockchain not just for payments, but as a building block for the web providing both identity and payments.

Also, why would we want bitcoin or any crypto if most people will just use Visa? How does that achieve decentralization? I doubt the goal of cryptocoins is just "replace the financial backend that big companies use".
Ah, yes, I'm unclear on whether Docker intends to be secure these days (though there are things like Sysbox or running rootless that help), but exposing the socket inside a root container is removing a few layers of defense, thank you for pointing this out.

Unfortunately I don't think there's a way for Harbormaster to do anything about it, but I'll play around with Traefik and see if there's a more secure way to deploy it, thank you.
The Vaccine Moment
>>It’s not about permission in the idealistic sense

Then you proceed to give an idealistic reason to oppose it... A person choosing to end their life to preserve a family inheritance IMO would / should be a valid reason, your opposition to such a choice is idealistic.

>I am personally against assisted suicide for the same reason I am against the death penalty

There is no logical or idealistic similarities between the two as there is a difference between actions being forced upon you, and voluntary actions.

This has become a common trend in the modern era where we attempt to expand the idea of coercion to include scenario;s where people have only poor choices. Examples include people taking a poor paying job being "coerced" into it because they did not have "good" choices,

it is very dangerous to equate a circumstances where there are no good options to coercion
Thank you for proving my point.

Assuming this works I have no problem donating 15 or 30$. I already know it's not going to work as Logic, so then it turns into $15 just to sort of see what it is.
I would have done almost no work, and slacked off at a low tier college. Programming and programming interviews are heavily intelligence based. None of my previous efforts mattered. It was all a waste of youth.
Learning shell for a new Linux user, especially coming from non-programming field could be difficult and might even turn them back to their old OS.
"Help someone else out online" - this is useful, I might re-phrase it as "Find solution to your problem together", as learning and sharing knowledge with community is probably the most important thing for new users.
Finally, all efforts should be documented and shared: blog post, video, live stream - we need updates to old "command line only" solutions, preferably using only GUI tools. And failure is a good thing too, as showing what you already tried might help others to propose best solution for your problem.
which is why I suggested things with big motors and high speeds; if things go wrong they go really wrong
I don't like the word at all when describing interfaces. It's an overly broad term that in my experience doesn't tend to lead to very good conversations about what's good or bad. Case in point, we recently did a complete UI make-over at $JOB and the bossman keeps referring to it as the new 'more intuitive UI'. We moved a few buttons around and changed some font sizes, but the most visible change is the completely new colour palette. So yeah.

I'd also argue that nobody is born with an intuition to work a DAW or any other piece of software, and in that sense I think it's just a misleading term.

I think there are much better words to use to talk about whether a UI is successful or not: "Familiar" is a good word, because then you can ask "familiar to whom" and have a good conversation about what kind of users you have, their backgrounds, how much work you expect them to put into learning your software, etc. "Internally consistent" is another thing you can talk about and to some extent quantify. Being "discoverable" is another thing where you can talk about the balances between having everything right in front of you and a complete information overload. And of course, you can't really get around whether or not a UI is attractive, displaying good colour sense and being visually balanced and such. While you can certainly make pretty things that are impossible to understand, I would tend to argue that there is a bare minimum of prettiness needed to make something that's friendly and engaging.

(PS: Thank you very much for Ardour, it is a remarkable piece of software.)
Can't get too specific, yet, but it's an iOS app that combines a simple social media-style relationship graph with a location-based DB of services.
Interesting. A deep seated cognitive flaw of a positively-directed evolution (more evolved vs less evolved) places us in the situation where we are forced to characterize all humans and predecessors that are close enough into Homo sapiens.

But that is only because we have this innate cognitive error.

In some sense, intelligence past a certain point should be sufficient to classify as “one of us” but such trans-species sentiment is generally limited to those who believe memetic reproduction is somewhat more important than genetic reproduction.

The one thing the article does not help me understand is the purpose of the classification. The utility of models to me is in the ability to make falsifiable predictions about the real world. Is it perhaps the history of our species and the way speciation works that is being contributed to? That seems reasonable and makes the taxonomic classification have some utility. But perhaps categorization is not a useful tool here, and tagging is superior, i.e. “neanderthal-like in feeding habits” and “sapiens-sapiens-like in communication habits” and so on.
That... was far better than I was expecting and somewhat redemptive of BR'49. Worth the long read.
Be nice to see mistakes made by VPS providers as well.

One of my VPS providers did not provide adequate firewalling for their customer’s browser-based VPN access to their own VPS’s JavaScript-based terminal console.

Another is if you left your VPS shell un-logged-out of your VPS console, then the provider’s web-based JavaScript terminal console was weakly protected by your IP address filter-in but doesn’t prevent data-center from doing the same. It’s how hackers found out about it and started scanning a whole bunch of VPSs for logged-in console and installed cryptocurrency mining programs.

Right, but you don't have to be rich to participate in PoS. You can stake a small amount in a pool. Just like you don't have to be rich to create a giant mining farm, you can join a mining pool with 1 miner. Actually I think PoS might be more egalitarian than PoW. Even if you can scrape together enough money to buy 1 miner, if you don't have access to cheap electricity you just don't mine. Whereas you can always stake with a small amount regardless of where you are in the world.

"mostly to make it easy for developers to waste the company's budget."

Is this the case? I can't even find cloudflare's egress pricing online AT ALL. With AWS I can find pricing for anything I want.

Is there a specific instance price that you are trying to find and can't, you may be able to post here and someone can help you. The prices are on the AWS site, and also exposed via API's so there are a ton of third party services for them as well.

I wasn't aware that AWS had set up pricing "mostly to make it easy for developers to waste the company's budget". If you need help saving money AWS offers some services for this directly and again third parties can help you if you are struggling.
I don't think surveillance is the real necessary part to keep a place safe and clean, but a culture that cares about being safe and clean and legal system that cares about enforcing against acting that way.

Singapore was like that before cheap mass digital surveillance was possible. Even before VHS taped security cameras were affordable. And back in the VHS era, there was way less CCTV.
Racism and sexism were political correctness.
You likely didn't order from the Walmart.com retailer. Instead, it was likely from a Pro seller or ordinary 3rd party seller. This is the largest source of confusion for shoppers on Amazon. So much so that Amazon now offers $1000 if a 3rd party harms an individual. [1]

I think the UI that combines the 3rd party sellers with the Walmart/Amazon corporation retailer, is deliberately made confusing. I believe over voice, like when using Alexa, it is even more unclear what vendor is being ordered from.

Strictly speaking saying a single natural number is "computable" is a category error. Only functions can be computable or noncomputable. All other notions of computability must be reduced to a function on the natural numbers (e.g. recognition problems are shorthand for functions on the natural numbers that have a range of {0, 1}).

I do wish we had an open standard for things like issues, pull requests, etc. that was a little more "featureful" than plain email. At least platforms like Gitlab, Gitea, etc. are self-hostable and open source, which is a start.
As far as I know, all mainstream Java GCs are compacting; however, I don’t have an idea about the degree this improves cache coherence.
I'm quire confused about the benefits of async I/O over a blocking thread pool. I can't reconcile the many claims I've read. Everyone does seem to agree that most people don't need async, but past that...

- The overhead of a thread context switch is expensive due to cache thrashing

- If the context switch is due to IO readiness, the overhead is equivalent for both

- The main benefit of async is the coding model and the power it provides (cancellation, selection)

- Threads won't scale past tens of thousands of connections

- Async is about better utilizing memory, not performance

- A normal-sized Linux server can handle a million threads without much trouble, async isn't worth it (harder coding model, colored functions)

Is the context switch overhead the same for both? If so, why can't threads scale to 100k+ connections?
I would’ve started earlier than that, more like birth to three, to set the stage for me approaching later education with more curiosity and willingness to fail. I do not blame my parents, mind. My hurdles are my own, and I’ve found Blindboy’s mental-health podcasts (CBT, transaction analysis, Rogerian psychology stuff) helpful along the way.
Disassociating my sense of worth (self-esteem?) from my failures would be a big one towards a thorough working-through of challenges. I imagine myself working diligently like Teddy Roosevelt (an anecdote from Deep Work by Cal Newport, if I recall correctly) rather than procrastinating to hide from the fear of failure, judgement, and whatever else I haven’t figured out yet. I’d use Anki (or some sort of spaced-repetition system) daily, and I’d get to know as many people as I could, at least to break the ice, because who knows how we might help each other later on.

Jelly and jam are distinct on both sides of the pond, I believe. They're both fruit preserves but jelly is strained to not contain solid pieces of of fruit.

I would've put it nicely, but there is a grain of truth here. Tiger mom[1] parenting is a dangerous road to take and can lead to many mental disorders later in life. It maybe not be the case, but "teaching my 3rd grade daughter programming" raises red flags so please beware and consider your kid's mental development still involves a lot of "play time" at this stage and is a normal stage of any human's brain development. And as much as I find programming fun these days I wouldn't put it in the "play time for kids" section.

That's just plain crazy.

The software only knows what the (human) user tells it. What assurance does it have that the patient isn't being pressurized into giving the correct answers? Or that the suicide capsule is going to be used correctly (as opposed to being a murder tool)?

If you start looking for edge cases where this might go wrong, it turns out to be razor-sharp edge cases all the way down. A human with a remit to prevent false positives should be the last link in the kill chain: sure, allow the applicant to appeal if the human practitioner has made a mistake, but the default outcome should be "no kill" unless their mental capacity can be positively confirmed (which is a GAI-complete requirement, hence wanting a human being in the loop).
Feather mining (the style that uses the 1x1 branches) is more efficient per block mined, but it requires a lot more attention compared to a straight 2x1 hole because of all the turning you need to do. So 2x1 is what most people do. People who have enough resources to make beacons usually speed-mine instead, though. That's because with a beacon giving you Haste II and an Efficiency V pickaxe, you can mine stone blocks instantly, allowing you to clear out 2-tall spaces rapidly. This destroys more blocks per ore but is much faster than anything else in terms of time. That said, in the 1.18 update, diamond ore can only be found at levels where deepslate generates instead of stone. Deepslate cannot be instant-mined, so caving is once again the most efficient way to find ores. I consider this more fun than the old style of mining, so I'm glad they made this change.
It's a good point about the rollout strategy. Is this a specialty device you must order? Or is there a row of them on display at the mall next to the massage chairs?

Most of these third parties are using official API's to get pricing data, if there is something with a hidden price do ask and someone can probably help you figure it out. One reason AWS got popular is that it actually was historically much HARDER to get pricing from your internal IT team / vendors like IBM etc. So AWS wasn't the cheapest (by any means) but was pretty clear on cost. So it's interesting to hear that AWS is purposely hiding pricing and making price complicated to "waste company's budgets".
People complain a lot about the amount of surveillance and petty authoritarianism of the UK also, so I don't know what your trying to achieve. From what I've seen in reality, most of the time it isn't about how much surveillance a place has, but how much the police force works on preventing it, the culture of people itself and poverty.
Reddit has 2 ways of formatting code (4 spaces and triple backticks) but for some reason the triple backtick only works on new-reddit and each reportedly have spotty results on mobile.

It's a literal trap: you can format the code correctly per reddits documentation, but inadvertently fail to format it for old-reddit users.

For this reason most coding subs recommend the 4 spaces even though it's a pain-in-the-butt to format it that way manually.

Are my comments pushing a particular ideology, or are they pushing a different way of thinking about ideological matters? Is what I say incorrect? Is the phenomenon I refer to not an example of the very thing that causes you problems moderating this site?

HN (and the world it is contained within) is not perfect dang, and if we ideologically refuse to even contemplate how we go about discussing and thinking about things, should we expect it to change? Might some of your pain be caused by us "doing it wrong"?

Climate change, racism, wealth inequality, general pain and suffering throughout the word...are these things going to go away on their own? Is democracy and rules going to save the day?

If the sole goal of this forum is to establish and maintain a safe space for mostly privileged people to discuss the problems of the world in a purely pleasant, conflict free manner, that's fine, but I think it would be more optimal and honest if we all admitted to ourselves just what it is we're actually doing here.

I ask that you consider this deeply.

Since the use of an oracle introduces a source of information external to the blockchain, we’re left with centralization issues again. I feel like this removes the unique advantage of using the technology in the first place.

Fe currently doesn't support the offending type and I'm pretty sure the rest of the types support the same names internally. Smart contact development isn't like native systems programming where the details of the ABI are not considered in the majority of work. I think any smart contact engineer worth their salt will immediately ask what hash will be generated by a given type and confirm that it's compatible with standard contract interfaces.

I never went to any school post HS and am actually putting together a plan to go go back (for a non CS degree).

As much as the current implement of higher is a pain in the ass for non-traditional students, I will say I’m almost certain I’ll be able to make more of it than I would at 17/18. I know what I want out of it, and I have a roughy idea of what to do try set myself up to get that and for the pieces I don’t know, where to go for help.

Had I gone at the normal age, I probably would have wasted my time doing the bare minimum for some CS program with little thought or strategy as what I really wanted to do afterwards.
I would think of all the sites that people here could relate to, and would have an instant response as to whether or not the new design would be better, would be this actual site.

Digital Ocean is really serving a different market. The folks recommending them tend to be running smaller workloads (so DO can have relative lower perf per vCPU etc).

The best I've found - run the workload you actually plan on running. Even on AWS etc, the perf differences are getting pretty meaningful between instance families even at similar price points.
