I don’t know about other people and their misconceptions. I hope (and think) they are not as widespread as you think.

But yeah I think of NFTs as a novel way to support digital art. Not much else, just pay the artist. Same as buying a painting really, except you don’t really own the painting anymore.

The idea that buying art is anything BUT supporting an artist is pretty funny. It’s as if we’ve normalised art as either an investment or a museum that we can’t touch. Buying art was always meant to just let the artist do his thing!

Selling digital art before NFTs was a complete pain! Before them you had to go with an agency or gallery, they took a cut, they had to like your stuff. It was absolutely painful, full of gate keeping and bullshit I (and many others) hated. Now you just mint (hopefully on a low carbon chain) and off you go, you tweet about it, get some attention, make some money. It’s simple. The fact that there’s a secondary market for it, well there always was one for art.

It certainly attracted a bunch of rubes who buy ape JPEGs but there is an honest revolution in digital art happening right now. Look into FXhash on tezos, I’ve lost count of the amount of generative art on that market and it’s really really mind blowing. People are coding amazing stuff on there and selling it, something which used to be virtually impossible without a gallery and a rep and a bunch of nonsense.

I think an NFT is a form of DRM that doesn’t enforce scarcity - ie you own A license to that artwork but that doesn’t give you the right to it. That license can be bought and sold, maybe eventually that will have value (my personal favourite is that NFTs should allow you to remix the artwork into your own art, but who knows).
OK. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put that at the very top of your site somewhere. It doesn't say that anywhere that I can see. It just tells me I can self-host for free, or pay $9/month. I clicked off the site because of that, even though the product looked cool.

Let people clearly know they can test drive it for free to see if it works.

EDIT: OK, I see it says that once I click GET STARTED, but that's too late, because I never clicked that button because I didn't want to pay $9 to find out if it worked. You need to make it really clear on the front page.

Also, put a "Sign-up" button next to Sign-In in the top-right corner. That was the first place I looked to try to create an account - I didn't go straight for the GET STARTED button.
> there are relatively honest politicians

Part of the problem is good politicians are agents of compromise. When a culture ceases to be able to find compromise, a direction online echo chambers and social media are driving ours, then a politician who wins 90% in exchange for giving 10% comes back a liar. They said they were going to get 100%!
It's a fair critique. But I think the maintenance and dependencies for a website are the main reason a lot of them die off (basically, the owner giving up on it because the cost to keep it up is higher than the value it provides the owner). Intentionally killing a website seems rare to me otherwise.

> whether you compress your site

It's actually a comment against minimizing the html/css content, which makes it unreadable and adds an extra step in your toolchain (another point of failure).

I did add that link recently as it's related, but I wrote this Designed to Last article 2 years before irchiver. See the previous discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21840140
How else to bypass travel bans?
I feel like a number of basic pieces are in place for Krita to be really good for this, but it's not quite all put together and hasn't been expanded out into a really usable form yet.

I think they did a bunch of overhauls a while back (through a Kickstarter) where they specifically rebuilt and beefed up the core vector engine, but if I remember correctly other features ended up getting more votes during the campaign than some of the followup user-facing vector tools/systems they were thinking about, and they ended up prioritizing the other stuff that got more votes.
I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or you really believe that. I could just as easily state that I am amazed that people can drive around with their sound systems blaring and make incredible amounts of noise while those around them are trying to enjoy peace and quiet. You are more likely to encounter a loud vehicle than a General Aviation aircraft unless you live very close to an airport.
Air travel is just kind of gross, at least in recent years, even before COVID. I usually end up mildly sick with a nondescript "cold" after intercontinental flights, although I fly in economy, where the "lots of gross people packed into a tiny space" factor goes way up...

I am interested in this kind of setup but lack relevant experience. Is this stuff you set up in the stock Unifi admin pages?
What is ROS in this context?
Of course. Assume somewhat of a big services company. There are many customer related problems that can be solved using products. Assuming such a product can be created. What should be the structure of the team that handles such products ? What should be the equity structure etc. Does that help ?
I've had to take one for a job because it was a government contractor position. I wonder if that's related to why the response is higher?
Problem is for most of us it is too expensive. High buy in for a jet share, then $6000 for a 8 passenger plane (I just flew my family of 5 for $2000 and that was last minute for a funeral)
You have to be careful with Node because being single threaded but highly async, you could be running anywhere from ten requests per process down to three processes per core and one request per process, depending on workload.

But I’m in a similar boat, and when I think about our ratio of cores to requests per second, it’s scandalous.

When a problem is big and the patterns are set, there’s not much you can do, and the people I flag as potential recruits have a habit of quitting instead of diving onto this grenade. I have learned all new ways that some known (to me) anti patterns can screw you over.

And it grates that Tony Hoare said this 40 years ago:

I conclude that there are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.

If something stays slow it’s because someone worked their butt off making sure that none of the deficiencies were obvious.
> If a provider puts themselves in a position that they’re entirely unable to access my data, or it being extremely difficult, that would actually increase my trust in them.

This is never possible if you're using KMS / server side encryption or no encryption at all. Your data on these services is always visible if they were to try to read it, whether that be forging KMS requests to decrypt data or passively snapshotting VM memory for inspection. Technically this might be solved via recent datacenter CPU security improvements but there will always be flaws and 0-days that people with money and a will can use to bypass these protections.

Use rclone with encryption for S3 and consider anything else potentially visible.
Canada lets US-origin private flights land at a lot of random airports where the customs process is pretty much “call us before you arrive and we’ll send someone over only if we feel like it”.

(Yes, you do have to be pre-approved for this, but if your record is clean, it’s a formality). They even have a corporate program that lets you bring in a handful of unscreened non-members.

All for $40 for 5 years. My driver’s license renewal costs more than double that.

You can earn interest on stablecoins, not fiat. Theres a big difference there, since the stablecoin itself has risk in addition to the risk of whatever those services do with it to generate returns.

He does mention interpolation but doesn't go into it. That can also be used to resolve the ambiguity in cases 5 and 10.

> you have no idea how hard we work

I'll believe it when I see "anti-China" posts being removed from the first 3-4 pages with as much enthusiasm as much as "anti-US" posts. Or when flags are removed from posts related to death of Kobe Bryant (or conversely, discussion about the death of a nobody like Bill Gates' father demoted by moderation action).
I though savings = investment?
I'm not surprised, I think it's just extremely subjective. I mean, I find it extremely hard to focus on a programming task if there's music playing, but I know people who listen to music all day while they work.
They are good for you, but you don’t know 99% of the digital artists on this planet or what is good for them.

Indeed you haven’t even told us how many digital artists you know. Only that you are one.
Jobs also took acid because he was in the generation where it was commonplace. Gates also did it, too.

Both of those have a central authority that is granting the relevant rights. What's the advantage of an NFT over letting that central authority manage it in a centralized database? And if they won't agree to facilitate transfers, why would they agree to release the license/ticket as an NFT to begin with?
I received $1,500 in panny bux due to my low income. After that, I was finally able to afford my $1.8m house in Seattle.
The alerts are sent by police, not parents. I was curious and at one point went thru a year's records for NY state amber alerts. There were zero instances of stranger abduction. Most cases are as you say children taken by parent without custodial rights, with a secondary set of teens running away, sometimes with an older romantic partner.

Using a package is the NPM left-pad way of doing things. This function is like two lines long.
I think you'll find that mask compliance amongst people who're supposed to wear them at their jobs all day is almost universally pretty poor. Prior to Covid they were disfavoured as a way of protecting workers partly for that reason.
Would love one for LinkedIn profiles, but I don't think it's realistic given their behavior.
It's a really tough question of when to pull the plug. Marvin Minsky wrote a whole book in 1969 'proving' that neural nets cannot, fundamentally, do anything interesting - yet, here we are.
Very tangential, but your comment reminded me of this...

I have this weird trick where I can put the back of my tongue against the roof of my mouth, and exhale I'm a certain way that causes a whistling sound, I think where my sinuses reach my throat.

That often makes me light-headed very shortly after for some reason.

Are there any jurisdictions which doesn't recognize public domains?
I'm serious. Of course, we have to get around, so these things need to be balanced. Commercial airliners are less bad because they move more people, and some of those people are going to places to do productive work. But a private plane flying low over when you are on a nature hike is like a form of theft. You are taking something without compensation.
It’s a little bit clunky, but you can use GitHub.dev/<repo> on your phone. I do a lot of browsing/quick edits that way, and it works well enough. That said, I also use Working Copy for iOS to sync my notes repo, and will use that sometimes as well.

Personally, I don’t find that I do a lot of “deep writing” on my phone, as opposed to quick recall or in-the-moment scratch padding. So as long as I have a way to access my notes, make quick edits, and then sync them with my laptop (where I’ll do my primary thinking later), then I’m pretty content.
Hey, I'll take it, over the NPM left-pad way of doing things.
Indeed. It follows the philosophies behind best/better/etc. motherfucking websites, very lightweight, and works without javascript.
I'd be interested in buying and tinkering with one... I'm not afraid getting my hands dirty with embedded Linux stuff, the only thing I am afraid of is that I end up with a board that (despite saying "production run") has some issue on the PCB that makes core functionality (e.g. CPU, RAM, display, USB-C or WiFi) unable to work in hardware.

What are the options in case there indeed is some sort of defect on the PCB?
This fits mwith my experience. When my tasks are defined and are left only to implement I can plow through a lot of work.

If I have to develop (or much worse, alter) abstractions that make use of generics and OOP I do not feel productive at all. I get very confused, easily. (Though I often power through it just fine)

I do not smoke during business hours while working on client systems however, that does not sound appealing at all.

I have used cannabis extensively on personal projects for inspiration and to make easy but mundane programming tasks interesting for motivation. Refctoring is very boring sometimes, and getting high can keep you focused on how nice it will be to complete it and get to the end result. I often am able to uncover a bit of fun in the refactoring process after smoking.

My personal projects benefit from a pattern of: program for an hour or two (completely engrossed), short video game battle or two, smoke up a bit, program...repeat. I can chew through a tremendous amount of work in a five hours (measured by git commits and the complexity within those commits) that would easily take me weeks in a corporate setting. The pattern or rythum triggers "flow" consistently.
My problem is that they're studying retention, not mastery. Like how would this work for math or science lecture at the senior or graduate level?

In a more radical way I almost think playing a video in any nonlinear, noncontinuous fashion would have learning advantages because what matters isn't what you passively remember from the lecture but the amount of work you spend actively thinking about the material.
I think the key issue with notes that you just edit in plain text files on your computer is the lack of sync, mobile access and access to a quick ui on the mobile side.

Is this actually true? Are you saying the imager itself has a square ratio?

Edit:
So that's absolutely false. Imagers absolutely do not have a square aspect ratio. So it's not just about cropping. E.g.

Changed over the decades? Your issue with advice is that the giver must have had something happen so long ago that they can tell you about how the world has changed in the meantime?

By your reasoning, you would have rejected that person's advice if they had given it to you earlier because it would have looked a lot like the form of advice you have an issue with.
Smoking helps me through the "grindy" parts of programming, like you have a set goal in front of you with many small tasks and the way they all fit together can be held in your mind in one go. When it comes to idea deadlock, like no architecture is a good fit and you just need to choose the best of the bad paths, cannabis can hinder me greatly. I work on many side projects with a toke or two.
that would be the only reason coming to my mind but then that sample would be quite biased. I never heard of that being a thing ever for dev positions.
So I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and that is an excellent question.

It is all being stockpiled to build a giant spaceship called the Nauvoo to take us to the stars! I am totally joking of course, there is a really great article about the Church and it's finances that can be found at this link https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/church-fina... that explains it a lot better than I can I'd recommend checking it out if you are interested.
In my experience, most situations and their associated decisions are context sensitive, so most general advice is unhelpful, or even harmful. Heeding generalization is the root of many bad outcomes.
Only you and other NFT advocates seem to be drawing that conclusion.
One big org-mode file, with a hotkey to open it. I don't even use any of the fancy features of org-mode, just collapsible headings and the odd link, TODO or table. It's about 8,000 lines at the moment and gets pruned when I feel like it.
I gotta ask, what’s the problem with wearing comfortable clothes on an airplane? The idea of wearing a suit or even business casual on a commercial flight seems laughable to me.
I came here to say this. A few years ago I picked up JJ as a side hobby, and it quickly became my main hobby. I still weight lift and do cardio, but it's all in service JJ now.

The physical benefits are obvious. The non-obvious mental and emotional benefits are where JJ really shines. Putting oneself in stressful situations over and over leads to more calmness when under stress in general. Then there is the ego check where where one is forced to be a beginner again over and over. There's also no way to lie to yourself when a 100# girl chokes you out.
No, it's because the topic has become the same flamewar, endlessly repeated, and those are off topic for HN.

If you look at /lists at the bottom of the page, there's something called /active which is sort of backdoor into (mostly) flamewar land. It's the kind of thing you like if you like that kind of thing.

I can't do much of anything that requires concentration once I put my three kids to bed. The nights that my wife is out give me a lot of sympathy for single parents.

(But I will admit that there are times that I've had to just wait until the effects wear off.)
I just added a clarification to the README about this. The main issue is that the current implementation keeps track of roots with a shadow stack technique (https://llvm.org/docs/GarbageCollection.html#using-llvm-gcwr...), which is not thread-safe. It wasn't worth the engineering work for this particular study since the tasks didn't require more than one thread. A practical implementation, of course, would need to be thread-safe.
Of course it is. You can’t put up a camera on your porch and shoot your driveway and part of the street. To follow the law you have to point it so it’s only covering your driveway or lawn and no public space. It’s pretty simple restrict the field of view with a screen in front or bit of tape over the camera if needed.

Does everyone do that? Probably not. But that doesn’t change how the law is written.
The irony here is that Amazon had unjustly fired Christian Smalls, now he's helping drive more workers to vote union. The dude is pissed off, and rightly so.
This is at least common in US libraries. The San Francisco public library as well as the library system where I grew up both do not keep library records after you have returned the item. I know there is a lot of contention about their private partners keeping records (ex: Overdrive) but I haven't followed that conversation much.
> In simplistic terms, Clean seems to be a “better Haskell”.

Actually Haskell is a better (or at least, standardised) Clean.

There was a lot of interest in lazy functional programming in the 1980s, but everyone made their own mutually-incompatible systems (e.g. Clean, Miranda, and I heard that even Scheme was debating laziness at one point).

Eventually a committee came together to standardise on a single language (which could be extended in interesting ways). The result was Haskell.
As a european you can't understand how America still has slavery, you mean, right?

Cause that's what it is... exhaustion, depression, anxiety, burnout is par for the course with being American, I'll even go out on a limb and say that fixing this and mental health in America would do more for extremely strict gun laws.

People in their right mind don't do this shit. We're not in our right minds (collectively, and it'll be a long time - if ever - before we are.).
Interesting. That describes me for the past 20 years. But, I am going to turn 60 next year, and have decided that age 60-90 (God willing) will be different than age 30-60. Key in that is that I have returned to my original weed habits prior to age 30: none until evening time. So far, I'm _really_ liking the change. I still like weed, but I'm not allowing it (or anything) to have that much importance to me, and minimizing false 'dependencies' feels very refreshing.
> imaginary numbers are fake and don’t exist,

In what relevant sense do imagenary numbers differ from real numbers?

Being a mathematical abstraction they are in no way required to help approximate phisical reality. That they do is a source of wonder to many, but that is beside the point.
Yes, but so?

Living somewhere in eg Idaho that has the culture of Soho is not the same as living in soho. Doubly so when part of the benefits of soho is that it borders tribeca and Chelsea. That small city won’t.
Really interesting perspective, thank you for sharing.

Matching specific parts of the brain with physiological jobs seems reasonable enough because its testable. I'm wondering how does one empirically verify potential matches when it comes to psychological jobs? A lot of psychology isn't all that objective, necessarily so. But because psychological events or states can't be as objectively well-defined as physiological phenomena are, what does matching a given part of the brain to a psychological event or state really tell us?
Yeah, I agree with that. A lot of these tools have usability issues. I kinda like Search Console but Google Analytics or Facebook Business gave me some terrible data analysis experiences.

I checked out your tool. Looks perfect for my needs but I need do dive a bit deeper to say more. I assume you plan to add more integrations in the future. Have you thought about adding an integration with LinkedIn? That’d be helpful for me.
