I think this is a cultural difference. Python documentation tends to be of the cookbook style, where you have long instructions surrounding specific examples. This works well for some people.

Other language communities (the typical example for me is Haskell) aim more for reference style documentation, emphasising lists of the possible operations and then trusting people to sequence those operations as they wish themselves. That's the type of documentation I like.

I have yet to find a language community that does a good job of both of these styles of documentation at the same time. C# is sometimes in the right direction, but not always.
This is a strawman. The entire ecosystem does not have to be 100% decentralised. There is massive utility in a trustless, permissionless, censorship-resistant contract layer connecting disparate centralised entities. A centrally managed registry would never be suitable for this task for a multitude of obvious reasons.
Please, when Covid broke out there was a ton of media and societal pressure as well as legal actions to NOT discriminate against Asian-Americans and their businesses, despite the CCP being quite hostile towards the west.
Yeah exactly - it would be very difficult for the state to prove that there's a compelling interest to this clause in the contract besides having a chilling effect on a particular opinion.
> Rust compiled to WASM is faster than Javascript (ok, but I'm not going to switch my entire stack just to use your CDN)

This was also addressed in the post: they don’t consider the JavaScript flavor production ready in part due to performance. Even if you’re an all JavaScript shop which will never consider something else, comparing a mature released service to one under development makes the comparison harder.

It would have been interesting and more honest to compare other language runtimes to see whether there’s a trend for the entire platform or simply one language runtime.
Python documentation is not amazing. Search is poor, I expect nowadays instant structured search. Table of contents is generally useless. And important information like common usage is not displayed upfront. Python docs might be great for learning concepts for the first time but not for quickly consulting stuff.
Less taste and more that data mapper ORMs are better (although harder to make) than active record ones, except for very small datasets/simple queries.

It would be nice for the first person to actually own it and not just say "I have no idea who put it into our TOS". Besides, it's either disingenuous or something is seriously broken in Cloudflare if their CEO is more attentive to HN comments than their own SMM people, as Fastly called that clause out on Twitter weeks ago.
> Is it?

Yes, if you live in a country with good worker protection (in the US a lot of "salaried" work is effectively freelance).

> if you get laid off then you lose 100% of your income instead of just a part

Yes, if. With good protections and a solid company choice, such a scenario has a likelihood approaching zero.

> The "needing to find additional employment" are less frequent but much higher impact for an employee than for a freelancer.

I would say the freelancer has a higher impact of this, because their entire work history is filled with needing to find new work. That is the nature of doing work without an enduring relationship.
Unfortunately the hype around mechanical keyboards is mostly around clicky and tactile keys, to the point that there's almost a stigma around linear or silent optical switches, for example. Further, it's not just the switches that make the noise, your key caps and case also contribute to an extent.
Bangs are not APIs. DDG does not access 13,565 APIs when you make a search request.
> The system does billions of dollars worth of trades every day.

Billions of dollars? Ha. Uniswap does none of this. Uniswap allows you to convert one cryptocurrency to another.

Example:

Bill creates a coin called $FOO, it has 1,000,000 tokens and I give Mary one token in exchange for $100

My friend Josh creates a new coin called $BAR, it has 1,000,000 tokens and I give Steve one token in exchange fro $100.

Josh now gives one of his $BAR tokens to Bill for one of his $FOO tokens using uniswap 1:1. In theory $100 was "traded". Was it though?

> If anybody can point out to me a broker that does similar volumes that would allow me to make million-dollar trades with a few lines of code with no possibility of censorship I will happily concede that web3 is a failure.

If you can tell me how I get the USD that comes from my paycheck into a system that uses a few lines of code I'll be happy to concede that web3 is not a failure. Bill can't use his new $BAR token and Josh can't use his $FOO token to pay for groceries. So this whole premise is entirely useless.

> In fact, a SQL DB has worked quite well for many years now.

When you allow people to write their own smart contracts, bugs will happen. This can't be fixed, only dampened with a weakened interface to the blockchain.

When a bug in a smart contract happens you may now have a dispute, across borders, over the intent of the smart contract and the actual behavior.

Who handles this situation?
"cancel culture" is about boycotting people for things they did in the past. Nobody can go back and change their past. Even if those people apologize and work to do better, they still get "cancelled" under cancel culture.

My problem isn't with holding people responsible for their actions, but with never letting up on them. If people can't change and relieve the sanctions against them, they have no incentive to change. They might as well just keep doing whatever they were doing.
Indeed, it is more related to troubleshooting. Which is why Lunar has an automated diagnostics tool which can tell the user if the problem comes from the monitor, and shows some troubleshooting steps specific to their monitor:

https://files.lunar.fyi/lunar-diagnostics-demo.mp4

And yet, after finishing the diagnostics process, the users still send me emails saying that they paid for the app and I should fix Lunar to support their monitor.

> The utility for society is basically negative, given that they enable far more crime and fraud than anything else.

This could be said about money in general, but in both cases it’s not really helpful for the debate.
>housing is not stocks, thus you cant think like a house is a stock. They are a leveraged investment that lacks the price discovery and liquidity stocks provide.

Even better :)

>imagine a 1m$ house. you have to put 200k$ down into a single house (no diversification). A 10% decline means a 50% decline on that 200k. selling it takes days to months with usually at least 6% fees. So this thing is highly illiquid. so its not like stocks where you can say 'well just buy and hold'.

But you cant buy 1m$ of stocks on borrowed money. 10% increase means 50% increase on your downpayment. Even better, when does housing crash? The governments just printed a bijillion dollars to prevent it crashing and rates have real yields of negative. It's free money. There is a rent vs own calculator and even in bad cities the ROI will be only a few years tops.

>given that they dislike Seattle, Seattle is as bubbly as ever, there is a new condo in construction on every other block, and things like the mayor saying 'we are not going to enforce the law in favor of safety towards the protestors', purchasing a home in Seattle is a scary idea.

The antifa rioters aren't about race or whatever they claim. It's about destroying a neighbourhood to push people like you out of the market and reduce demand. The george floyd riots have caused billions in damage, very much higher than the few hundred million in insured damages. Those markets like Seattle and Portland are going to pay for in the long run. House insurance will be exorbitantly high.

>Also another issue with Seattle its not like you can buy and rent out. a typical home that costs 3500$/month to own will only rent for max 2500$. so you have to be in something thats 1k$/month cash flow negative. even if you are networth positive, that may be unsustainable for the individual

That's the funny thing about investing. The first hit at your mortgage is the worst. You amortize for 25 years. You pay some principal in say the first 5-10 years. In those 10 years you also got a raise and are earning more. So the next time you are coming to bat to refinance you're in a better situation owing less and able to pay more. You will then be winning. The calculators out there will tell you buying vs owning is only a few years. The question is whether or not you're staying in seattle that long.

There's also the spin of the dice. There will be homeowner moments where oh shit I have tospend $5000 to fix that sump pump or roof. So its not so easy to calculate.
Could somebody please let the banks know that "work is being unbundled from traditional employment"? At least in Europe, I am afraid they still expect your employment to be quite traditional (or your collaterals to be quite valuable) if you want to get a loan.

Other than that, last I checked everything else I use daily is compatible with the new M1 chips (though I need to double check Godot Mono) so it really is just that holding me back. Not sure if I'd go with a macbook or mac mini since it'll be in the same place 90% of the time, but I think they're probably comparable either way.

Never hurts to ask and try (as long as not blindly).
The problem with private for-profit companies is that they fundamentally cannot play a role of moral or political beacons, by the purpose and mechanisms that ensure their existence and success.

We have a lot of examples in history when the institutions that are designed to be moral guides bend their principles to the ruling ideology: Catholic Church in Nazi Germany, Orthodox Church in Soviet & Putin Russia.

I think large companies tend to eagerly adopt any moral principles that bring them more customer, attracts more employees, helps to get government contracts, and avoid lawsuits.
So all the companies who support BDS are hiring Jews, right?

It's less a backyard furnace and more the MLMs that everyone in Albania invested in in 1997. They at one point locked up [edit](50%) of their GDP - and their economic advisor - before having a civil war about it. This required the IMF to airdrop big bags of money to bail them all out. [1]

There's nothing to wait for proof on, it's been 13 - almost 14 - years and it does nothing better than a classical system other than regulatory arbitrage, grift and crime.

The fundamentals are crystal clear. It's hot garbage - rather, it's Mary Kay for young men. [2] And that's if we're lucky.

[edit] It's an unholy fusion of a grey goo coal-powered linked list and anarchocapitalist libertarianism [3].

Ask HN: Do top HN comments have a “tone” that is different from those elsewhere?
For example, given the first sentence of a top comment, would you be able to tell with high probability whether it came from HN or reddit? And if so, how?
You can not choose which language people use when talking to you, but you can set a good example yourself.

"Crypto" being an abbreviation will still only mean "cryptoasset" in some contexts, and retain other meanings in other contexts.
> As a currency? I have that already. And its stable, accepted almost everywhere, doesn't waste tons of energy and cannot be lost by forgetting a password.

So you were born (or at least live) in a country that has a stable currency which is accepted almost everywhere, and you can trust your politicians to not undermine this currency by bad economic policies and/or creating very high inflation. Congratulations! However, a large part of earth's population do not enjoy this stability. For them crypto offers a way to store wealth that cannot be debased nor easily seized by authorities in bad faith.

Some estimates are that 2 billion adults do not even have banking.

You say your currency does not waste tons of energy. How much energy would you say the financial system in your country use in order to keep a sound ledger and enforce the monetary rules & policies?

Bitcoin uses less energy than the gold industry. And gold mines wreck the environment (https://earthworks.org/campaigns/no-dirty-gold/impacts/). But you don't hear much about that even though most gold is used as a store of wealth, much like Bitcoin is.

Energy usage should also not be equated to bad energy production, though of course miners can use bad energy source instead of sustainable energy.
>and the low performance one is nearly good enough.

You may be surprised at the CPU requirement for modern WIFi Router.

That is not only it, the cost are going to support the linux firmware these router will be based on. Which having ARM ecosystem will be beneficial. So your initial cost estimate will have to include that into calculation as well.

And it is part of the reason why all routers are moving from their own MIPS CPU to ARM CPU.

Well, not in China though, huh. Yes the case remains the same, because the fundamentals remain the same. It was bad then and it's bad now. What's changed is the scale of the risk it poses to global economies. This is triggering a different response. Let's see how it plays out.

> It feels like a lot of these freelancing micro-entrepreneurship perspectives sort of ignore this aspect. It's hard to imagine people still doing it when they're 50.

Why do you say that? I’m asking this genuinely, as someone who is a) dipping my toe into freelancing and micro-entrepreneurship, and b) turning 50 next month :)

Personally I’m just looking for a way to find more enjoyment and meaning in my work, and to be able to balance my priorities in life a bit differently. Which is something I didn’t think much about when I was younger, but has come to be important to me as I get older. So to me, this sort of age actually seems like a natural time to want this approach.
I don’t follow. Is it not possible in the US to criticize Israel?
Thoughtless IsNot comments on every crypto post is definitely not setting a good example.

Conflating the behavior of "Jews" with the behavior of the "State of Israel" is racist.

You just did that. He didnt. Neither did BDS.

Reading that I think of general improvement on oxygen levels as a side effect which would be a link to Alzheimer.
It’s a bit confusing, I know.

In my view, there are tens of thousands of ways you can arrange your monitor setup.

Given the factors:

monitor
cable
hub/dock/adapter/dongle
monitor port
maybe KVM
Mac device port
Mac GPU
Mac CPU architecture
monitor firmware
Mac firmware and drivers

There are way too many different types of setups. But most of them work, that’s why I think the ones that don’t work are edge cases.

But I also view them as common because the users that stumble upon those edge cases tend to also complain about them.

They’re not common as in, the app only works for <50% of the users. They’re common as in, I get a ton of email from those 2% of users and I have to respond with the same info every time. So I’d rather have an FAQ where I can direct them to avoid repeating myself.

The name is a pun in that it's a media organisation (with watershed being a common term in broadcast media), but it's also literally a shed near the water.
