I guess. I'm honestly more surprised that Xi Jinping's book reviews in the US have reviews calling him winnie the pooh than I am that his reviews in China are all 5 stars.

I'd have thought his economic might would have extended to at least getting one or two of those deleted.
Probably, yes. But that's not proven.

The property that a number contains all sequences is called being "normal". We assume π is normal, but we have never proven any number to be normal, except those specifically constructed to be that way (like 0.123456789101112131415161718192021...). And that's despite the fact that almost all real numbers are normal.
Right there on the website!
Great advice. It's getting harder for everyone to just sit and read in world where we like YT shorts.
> rhetoric taking on levels of hostile zealotry like the linked post

Honestly, this feels like bad faith.

The article explicitly says "this is a rant for catharsis, not a serious argument" and ends with a list of caveats and "okay actually it's more complicated" bits left out of the article.

Even if you take it seriously, you're implying that it's representative of the average Rust advocacy post, but this is easily the strongest piece of rhetoric I've seen in Rust advocacy.

You're implying that "levels of hostile zealotry" are commonplace, but every post I've seen advocating Rust on HN has been polite; for every post saying "this is a problem that Rust could solve" there's at least one answer saying "I like Rust but in this case maybe the costs of refactoring would be too high".

> inability or resistance to recognizing faults

Again, that hasn't been my experience at all.
I am not sure if it is just a bit.
Gas supply in Europe is having issues:
- Gas supply from Algeria via Morocco is closed.
- Russia is sending less gas as usual (and profiting from it).

Demand from gas in Europe remains the almost the same, but supply isn't.
Tor never claimed resiliency against large-scale traffic correlation attacks. Anyone who can look at a sufficient portion of all internet traffic has a good chance of deanonymizing TOR users. The Snowden revelations could lead one to believe that the US is sniffing enough traffic to make this viable, but it's anyone's guess if they collect and synchronize enough data to make deanonymization of TOR users viable.

I2P always looked more promising to me, and more open about its threat model [1] and potential mitigations. But it's not built for browsing the open internet, so it has a somewhat different niche.

As an American currently living in Europe, who has driven in almost every US state and over half the countries in the EU, I don't fully agree. Driving in the US may be easier in the sense of requiring less cognitive load most of the time, but that doesn't translate into lower risk.

The challenges are different, but the probability of a fatal collision is higher in the US, whether per person or per vehicle, than in most EU countries. This doesn't surprise me, and it's not just due to driver training.

Navigating small streets built before cars is very likely to lead to broken side mirrors and scratched paint, but not injury or death. Misusing a bus lane gets you angry honking and gesturing from bus drivers and maybe a ticket from the police, but not injured or killed. A low-speed car-on-moped collision is bad of course, but not as bad as a car on one of those wide, straight American roads running a red light at 60 MPH and crashing into your driver's door at a right angle.

Here's a study with evidence that very wide lanes result in people driving faster and crashing more frequently, a particularly bad combination for safety.

Well, he certainly doesn't have to. There's no worldly force automatically granting you a bonus as well. But on the other hand there's no worldly force keeping you at your job either.

But if you feel you can demand complete fairness, then everybody else on this planet can too so why don't you give a "bonus" to someone homeless who doesn't have anything – even tough you didn't get one from your boss? That is true morale because it requires strength to exclude yourself from the equation.
Lived off the Canadian version of MREs for 2 weeks when I was in Haiti after the earthquake. Definitely not a fan. One of the things that always impressed me about the Canadian lunch ones is they had a chocolate bar (candy bar for the Americans) in them. It was 30+ C degrees during the day and as long as the chocolate bars stayed in the sealed packaging they were solid but but the moment you opened the packaging the chocolate would melt in 5 minutes. Not sure, what black magic made it possible to chocolate solid in 30 degree C weather.

The CI check is the important one: It's what ensures that bad formatting doesn't make it into master.

The pre-commit is just a convenience for the developer. It gives faster feedback - immediately when trying to commit, instead of a couple of minutes later. And if a developer on my team wants to disable it, it doesn't affect others.

And yes, it's important that you use the same version in dev and on CI/CD. The same applies for practically any other tool you use in your project. I see the CI/CD config as the "master" version - it's a known-working setup, that any developer should be able to use.

The supply limit is irrelevant in this case. In order to remain secure, the cost to attack Bitcoin must be proportional to the value represented by Bitcoin. Currently, when proof of work is performed, it is funded in large part by increasing a ledger value without a corresponding decrease elsewhere (aka "minting"). In the future, when proof of work is performed, transaction fees will need to increase in order to provide a similar incentive.

If the sum of the block reward and the transaction fees decreases, then that would result in fewer groups willing to perform proof of work calculations, and would be followed by a decrease in the proof of work difficulty in order to maintain ~1 block every ten minutes. That lowered difficulty then results in a lower cost to attack Bitcoin.

So, there must always, always be profit in running proof of work calculations. Not only that, but to maintain the security of the ledger, any increase in Bitcoin valuation must result in a proportional increase in proof of work expenditure across the entire network. It's an absolute disaster of a system.
Definitely not obvious. I have no idea how complex "woodiness" is, evolutionarily. It's like if you asked me "don’t you feel that it’s obvious that different lineages of animals could acquire, and lose, feathers independently of each other": probability is certainly non-zero but is it negligible or is it actually likely? No idea, I'm not an evolutionary biologist, and would read an article about it with interest
I agree.

I'm writing a lot of CI/CD for R and R Shiny apps with various SQL backends for my employer and the broader data science team.

There's so little good documentation out there for R, I've spent weeks in trial and error trying to understand why ODBC connection strings fail and R SQL code is failing. And even more time deciphering why certain R packages in Debian don't work at all.

I've taken the effort to compile a lot of them myself from source (GitHub) and writing the appropriate love letters (aka documentation) for my future self.

Working with R for the first time has been an insanely difficult learning curve for an R language novice. Especially when compared to writing Python where most questions I can't answer immediately are only a search engine away.

R has been difficult, but definitely rewarding.

It's common to think of vector art of 'ground truth' and bitmaps as sampled image, but SVG and TinyVG don't add so much over bitmaps. When you zoom into 100-point polygon, you still reach the limit where there is no additional details. Those 100 points are in fact samples, an approximation of artist's intention. When boolean operations are preformed on polygons, information gets lost and the shapes degenerate. The SDFs in 3D modeling seem more pure way of defining and manipulating shapes than polygons and bezier curves.

TinyVG doesn't implement node referencing. In SVG it is done by the `clone` operation, which creates SVG node that references original shape. Using this you can build smart scenes with shadows, reflections, arrayed clones and other interesting effects. It's like DRY principle for art; you can later modify the original shape and see changes reflected in other parts of the scene.

TinyVG doesn't even seem to have object groups. If I wanted to draw a gauge and control needle rotation in runtime I would have to manually re-compute path coordinates each frame. In SVG I would group all parts the gauge needle, and in each frame I would update just the rotation angle in group transform.

For a vector format to de-throne the SVG I would expect it to be smarter than SVG while discarding legacy features. I'd like to see things like infinitely large dimensions for shapes (shapes for ground and sky, or a ray of sun), specifying design constraints, interactivity and procedural animations. IMO the TinyVG takes vector graphics into wrong direction, as a boring subset of SVG.

Edit: I like that TinyVG takes form of very readable lisp-like data description language. Maybe it could be used as a starting point for a smarter vector format for authoring graphics and not just for distributing the end results.
I think the "more southern" part of Europe applies here. It's probably about "not being covered in snow for most of the year" which helps cyclists. Yeah, you can use bicycles on snow, but it's not pleasant. Most people hide their bicycles for winter and I'm south from Sweden.
I like seeing exactly what I commit, so I never let a pre-commit script make any changes. It's just a single command to format any changed files in the repo.

But some developers in my team do like that convenience of just being able to commit, so that's an option that can be configured in our internal tooling.

It's nice to have atomic guarantees of GILed implementation. For me current CPython semantic is a golden middle: you have pretty fast interpreter without race conditions (for huge part of user code). Due to GIL.

I always like to ask for what kind of task one needs GILless python?

CPU bound? If you are using native python code for CPU bound tasks you are already in a bad place. C extensions can release GIL. For example numpy.

What else?

My Kodi set-up is a few-years-old copy of LibreELEC[1] set to NOT auto update.
I've barely configured it beyond giving the SMB paths to my video collection. I ignore all the meta-data rubbish it wants to add, and just browse to what I want to watch via the text-based list that's built into the default skin. It's all running on a Raspberry Pi 3b hooked into my big home theatre rig.

Granted, 90% of my Kodi viewing is Dr Who episodes[2] so I'm probably not the target market for it, but as long as you don't fiddle with it, it works just fine.

What I WOULD like is a new skin that strips everything out of the UI except my video library. I have absolutely no use for the music section, the photos(who seriously uses that?!) or the weather. I've briefly looked into the XML that is used for Kodi skinning, but life is too short for me even to want to go there.

It does sound like you've had slightly-more-than-average bad luck (I had some similar problems occasionally when I had Kodi on an RPi3, but it's been flawless for a year or so after I upgraded to RPi4), but you're certainly not wrong!

One point to consider, though, is that most TVs don't have built-in file managers (or, indeed, NAS-connection capability) - for folks who prefer to watch their media on a big screen, you need some client that can a) connect to your storage location, and b) play it out over HDMI etc. For me, Kodi is the best-functioning of those options.

If you're content with watching on a laptop/PC screen (or if your PC has your TV as an AV-out), however, then you're golden and there's nothing that Kodi really does over-and-above to make it worthwhile.

EDIT: Ah, I see[1] you do indeed have a PC connected to your TV. In which case - yeah, there's no reason not to do what you're doing!

It may be related, there is a video making the rounds of a crypto-CEO explaining Web3 to a congressional committee [0][5m56s], the major theme being that owning tokens is part ownership in the platform, the old Web is owned by tech giants, the new web is owned by anyone who holds a token. The whole thing reads to me as sleight of hand, too slick, but I couldn’t place my finger on what the lie/misrepresentation was. Nonetheless, the comments are glowing reviews, best explanation of blockchain ever !!!1!

I don’t suppose Dorsey is responding directly to this video, tho at 4M views it is worth contradicting, but “Web3 is owned by the users” is the latest salesmenship for NFT-flippers.

Country roads might be ok for biking, even in winter with the right equipment (clothes, spike tires) but there can be roads with 100 km/h traffic and very narrow shoulders. And the flying sleet and salt etc... Sure, there are quite many bike roads and side roads but not available everywhere. And there are some buses too. But again, since it's so sparse, buses are hard to make work. Taxis do work.

Basically, some parts of the country are really "car country" - and it makes total sense there.

One shouldn't try to shoehorn cars into city centers, I agree about that. This is something else.

256 bits is out of bounds for brute forcing for any realistic amount of hardware you throw at it. So either they have attacks on the actual algorithms that drastically cut down the complexity compared to a brute force attack, or this law doesn't do very much (other than perhaps pave the way for other laws).
> If you keep this mentality going into adulthood you are most likely a psychopath.

You make it sound like this is selfish. The toddlers aren't expecting a favorable treatment to themselves, they expect others to be fair towards everyone else.

I'd argue the real damage happens once toddlers lose their altruistic mentality and get into the selfish competitive mentality we enforce today. Keep in mind, this only happens as a form of natural selection, as those with these traits have a better chance at survival/success in this environment.

It's fundamental to remember that better fit doesn't mean better overall. As I've read once here on HN (one of those life changing sentences that I happen to read here every once in a while), if you have a stupid environment, you get a stupid fit.
I agree with the parent comment, Software that tries to be everything to everyone always sucks.

I think the Emby's, Kodi's, and Plex's of the world should focus on the "home Theater" space, making the best experience for the consumption of Movies and TV Shows. maybe music if they want to stretch

There should be separate apps for ebooks, podcasts, etc. I do not (and I am sure very few do) consume ebooks, and podcasts on my Large TV. That is where the "home theater" apps should focus, the TV Watching experience.

I understand sometimes people use a computer monitor, or even a mobile app to view it but I would image that is an edge case, and should not be the focus, when I want to watch a movie I am doing it on my 60in screen not my 5.5in
The world is whatever it is.

The classification we overlay on what we perceive might (or might not) relate to physical reality. One is objectively real, one is theoretical.

We can have all sorts of theories about how things have come to be, but again these might (or might not) relate to reality.

We do not and cannot achieve a theory of everything, even if we kid ourselves that we can be papering over the cracks. Physical reality just isn't that sort of thing that we can know as well as all that.

And this doesn't even mention how our data perception in only on a narrow range. Nor the fact that our theories drive the observations, rather than observations driving the theories.

We can certainly hack bits, and get them to do things, understand nature's tricks and re-implement them in a different context. But really understanding it? Not so much.

PS very interesting that the author mentions 'neoteny'. This is where a 'species' stays in a prolonged juvenile state.

I've long thought that this sounds like modern life, where people do not want to take personal responsibility for their lives, but instead look to various authorities (government, corporations, their mum) to do it for them.
You TCO is negative in all cases. Because you had something that was working enough, otherwise you would have changed it. But now you need to spend money to change. Even if for a good price.

Also you have to take into account that you pay but not have 2 working devices in the end (old and new). Just one.

Sure, if the new one was providing significant value, there could have been an interest. Like if you network was saturated. But that would be surprising because currently 8/10 years old ac wifi routers are more than enough for most households usage.

Also, what is interesting is the Stockholm syndrom: some comments here are saying that it was probably old enough to be changed, so not so bad. But in that case, did you think about that, that you would probably have to change your router for a new one before receiving the obsolescence notice from Google?
> lost their licence for drunk driving.

That wouldn't apply as you need a moped license for those back when they were allowed and a tractor license now. There is no "only this type" revocation in the law in the Netherlands and you lose all your licenses. And yes that means driving drunk in your car on Sunday as a truck driver can cost you your job.

To me, "built with [new technology]" is a sign that the person who made it had fun, and is proud of their work. It's like an engineer posting "look at our new car prototype, built with [fancy new internal chassis technology]". Maybe it doesn't change anything for the person driving, but it's obviously of interest for the engineer, and potentially for other car-internals-geeks as well.
