>>Where's the basic pilotage here

I think the article was spot on about this - everyone was focused on managing the computers rather than actually flying. I wouldn't be surprised if no one was actually looking out of the window, but instead looking at the screens and wondering why the numbers aren't correct.
They had some notes around the graphics examples saying that differences in syntax may prevent the code from being parsed successfully, and sure enough, none of those commands were available in the V2 BASIC dialect the C64 had.

Even the manual of the machine only included a single hi-res mode example in an appendix, and dedicated one chapter to sprite handling, but that was it. Yes, I am still angry.
Web 2.0 was a post-hoc description of interactive web pages, there were no web 2.0 evangelists pushing web 2.0 as the future, it simply happened organically based on its own merit. The web3 movement is astroturfed by enthusiasts trying to make a buck.
This is what was done in the EROS [1] (extremely reliable operating system) UIs - it was not possible for user window to be rendered completely undistinguishable from system windows like, you knew it, a password prompt.

EROS used capabilities to enforce such rules. If you lack a capability to be a system window, you can't pretend to be one.
Technically, the Sun send us orders of magnitude more energy that we will ever need.

So, yes, I agree with you that today, efficiency of solar panels is not enough for really big scale. But results are already impressive and furthermore, we have yet an infinity of optimizations to research to extract more energy from the sun.

In fact, while absolutely not probable in the coming decades Solar could even be one of the « magic solutions » alongside the fusion. Because we know the energy is there, we just don’t get her how to extract it.
Wesley is complaining that people "are still using Discord"... as opposed to what? Stuff is being built. Right now everything is centralized, you have to give time for actual decentralized stuff to pop up and hopefully eventually replace old apps. That stuff takes time. Years, decades even.

Also, I keep seeing the "yeah but you can just run a centralized database/private ledger though", but how about I DON'T NEED TO run a centralized database/ledger and just use the public decentralized one?
"it's decentralized in that many people can join the network, but not decentralized in that people can't easily spin up their own networks that are separate from other peoples'"

Maybe he missed how Amazon switched off Parler's servers, or Google and Apple started censoring Mastodon clients that did not exclude gab.ai? If you want to do anything that may be disliked by current authorities, it may not be that easy to spin up your own network.
Matrix would probably be a better choice by now?
People mostly email me about very specific topics. Nobody "still doing research™" about the broad topic of crypto is getting anywhere because they get bounced from the funnel immediately and paint the whole space with an equally as broad brush. Its decade 3 and this is where we are, so what do people really want to know? To me, there's lots of killer apps, to others I don't really care to debate any longer, who cares about "mainstream" when there's already 2-3 trillion dollars of value to attract to any product you release. It's not 2009 any more when most of this level of depth (or lack thereof) was relevant.

I personally wouldn't know where to point you, and sadly its more likely you too will run into disillusioning use cases from your own exploration (or wind up in a cult to bolster an implementation that is going nowhere). For me, it's been more interesting to accept that no state of the these technologies is set in stone, that I can influence the future state, and that the monetary incentives to build and influence the future state are phenomenal. Better option than smugly exploiting myself at an adtech conglomerate, for less money.

There is room for more specific things to be discussed, like if you look at the frontpage right now, there is a thread about "Deserializing JSON fast" or "A comparison of Rust and Zig". There could just as easily be discussions about "Solidity vs Vyper" or a thread every time a new version of one of those languages used in Ethereum Virtual Machines is out. Or node technology and processing transactions faster. Things that can inspire, but instead we just get these broad think pieces from wannabe angel investors and some influential VCs. As this is what makes it, it shows that this isn't the community to expect a deeper discussion right now.
There are varying degrees of preparations to be safe for various mushrooms. There are a few you can eat raw. There are a few that will kill you even if you cook them 10 times. And there is everything in between - from mushrooms that you cook once, to those you need to cook 3 times, replacing the water each time and ventilating to not inhale the vapor :))

My origin story-book is Donald D. Spencer's "Game playing with BASIC": https://openlibrary.org/works/OL15199613W/Game_playing_with_...

It introduced me to programming as well as many casino games like craps, blackjack, slot machines, video poker...
If you define Web 2.0 as content being created by users and using AJAX or something similar to create interactivity on websites, then I'd say Web 2.0 was enormously successful - Facebook, Twitter, etc. fit that definition.

I guess the big difference is that none of them got there by yelling from the rooftops, "Look at us, we're Web 2.0".
Gas based Power plants are for providing capacity quickly when needed, and the cost is good compared to lithium batteries:

1 KW Gas is 0,0639€
1 KW Lithium Battery is ~105€

There is an incoming lithium shortage which means either the price will rise sharply, or you have to build other types of batteries.
The shortage is not in 5nm process nodes... It's in 130nm and 90nm process nodes used for automotive components and other "low tech" stuff.

The primary driver for the shortage is increased demand, mostly from Asia (where many companies are stockpiling 2+ years supply of chips to prepare for US sanctions)
"problem most don't care about"

Just as Chinese citizens seem to be mostly happy about the politics in their country. Maybe that is the actual problem, people not caring about issues like free speech until it is too late. (Julian Assange is still imprisoned in the UK and almost nobody cares)
"shouldn't" as in the game is obviously lacking an important component, if the essential game experience requires a mod made by a different party than the actual game developer.

It's not officially endorsed by the creator of the game. It's not mentioned on the download page or the "links" page.

The game is clearly missing something - a gap is being filled by Dwarf Therapist, and it would be a better game, accessible to more people, if the game just had a better UX built-in.

I'm not saying something whacky. The dev team has the exact same opinion as me and that's why they're putting a bunch of effort into the UX for the steam version.
The conclusion "we don’t yet live in a post-truth world" is hard to swallow, considering two years after the facts there is no truth about the origin of the pandemic. The reasons for this lack of scientific proof are the subject of the article and the 300 pages reviewed book. The author is once again lacking courage not to admit we do leave in a post-truth world.
The quote is nice, but if there's any argument to be had I'd rather people quote something convincing, not persuasive.
Nope. You probably just had JavaScript disabled (which would be the sensible thing to do). Or maybe they haven't got round to it yet and in a few weeks all of what you mention will be implemented along with 48 tracking cookies, 4MB of JavaScript downloads (of which only 16KB is ever used) and an incomprehensible cookie banner referencing 641 privacy policies which no one will ever read!

The things we do, eh? I wonder what Wittgenstein would have made of it all.

I tend to find that the essentials in a chair are the mesh back, the rest is just extra features.

And yeah good mesh back chairs come in at about $300 wholesale.

I find often that the ones available retail are not as good as the ones my big-ass corporation buys though, because furniture has a huge retail markup.
This is all about routing, and thus, OS specific.

On Linux, you can mark packets, and use multirouting I'd think.
Traits support inheritance,

trait Widget {
fn draw();
}

trait Menu : Widget {
fn on_select();
}

Most package managers are older than cargo, so it is a bit hard for it to have had an influence on them.

Unless zig makes it a compiler error to forget to use defer, forgetting to delete memory is still a possible scenario, and even then it does very little to prevent an use-after-free.
Not quite.

V1 is the takeoff abort decision speed; beyond V1, you are going too fast to stop safely in the runway length still available to you. If the plane is on fire and you've lost an engine and the computers and screens all die, but you've passed V1, you are still taking off anyway.

V2 is the safe single-engine-failure climb-out speed. This is the speed you pitch for after rotating, so that you're not flying too slowly that an engine failure would be dangerous.

Vr is almost always at V1 or a little bit higher; by definition, it cannot be before V1 (if you were rotating before V1, you wouldn't have to worry about whether you have enough runway left to not rotate) or after V2 (if you're at your single-engine-failure climb-out speed, you should've already rotated).

The V2 speed is entered into the autothrottle before takeoff (but the autothrottle won't maintain that speed; it will maintain a thrust setting instead). The flight director will command you to pitch up to maintain at least that speed at the current thrust, but only if you've correctly entered an altitude for it to take you up to (which did not happen in this case).

Essentially, they were relying on the flight director to command them to rotate, instead of rotating when Vr was called out. This is a catastrophic lapse in judgment.
Tracking partial identity through tokens is actually a very common concept amongst the newer blockchain platforms which also have addressed such topics as the drawback you describe.
While said attack is theoretically possible it only is applicable to tokens managed by the same contract and only on platforms which do manifest tokens as script state (think erc20). Platforms with native assets (Cardano and some others) are immune to such attacks.
For most people, crypto is about money, not tech. Easy money, quick money. Therefore the spam level of any crypto discussion is so huge that the opinion gets drowned out by the propaganda.

Ask HN: How do you cope with being interupted?
Part of my bad mood often comes from the fact that I have something in my head which prevents me from focusing on the present.

It can be a personal project I'm working on, work related matters, events coming up that make me nervous etc...

What do you do to let go of these without loosing progress?
Do you also feel frustrated to stop working on something before it is finished?
Agree completely. There is a ton to criticize about crypto and "Web3" (I hate the term, tbh). It's rife with scams and unearned wealth. Even the things that aren't outright scams are mostly people selling hype.

But this technology does enable something novel. Digital self-custody of scarce assets is a new thing. A thing that nobody could do before this stuff. And if that has utility, then the infrastructure for trading, lending, and all the rest related to those things has value.

Even if you don't personally find it valuable, it should be clear that it is a thing that people could, in principle, legitimately prefer to traditional systems.

That being said, a huge percentage of what's happening in the space is bullshit, an outright scam or an "essentially scam" project. All those things deserve heaps of scorn and criticism. Investigate Tether, regulate ICOs, do all the things. But don't go so far as to deny that there's anything there, or say ridiculous things like "Web3 is more centralized". Even if it's true that web3 is more centralized than the internet, that isn't the basis of comparison here. Web3 isn't competing with the internet, it's competing with traditional finance. And there should be no question that Web3 is substantially more decentralized than that.
Yes, like most tweets this one is pretty vapid too. Not sure what's unusual about it as tweets go, there must be a million of them complaining about how bad 2020 and 2021 were which are no more valid or less vapid. The problem here is simply that differing thoughts and opinions are unwelcome among the intelligentsia.
That is usually quite far from the truth. But there are many factors beyond looks that you need to consider, e.g. smell, location, how it reacts when you scratch it, whether some bits are sticky or not, etc. No app will ever work simply because a picture is not enough.

Nobody can tell you all of it like that, not because they don’t want to, but simply because this is just an enormous amount of information that is very context sensitive. There are some very good books if you want to learn. Otherwise, join a bunch of people when they go out looking for mushrooms, the best way to learn is by following them. There really is no substitute.
Ansible is not a waste of time. It's a tool for a certain set of tasks.

I learned Ansible in 2021 after mainly having used Kubernetes, Helm and Terraform at work.

I did that because I needed to deploy self-hosted Kubernetes nodes, virtual machines and VPNs; while there are Terraform providers (drivers) for open-source hypervisors, you still need to get your OS from vanilla to installed-and-configured. Ansible does that.

And yes, you could build install images and deploy them directly on your hardware. But with certain non-cloud datacenters, the pick-your-image option is sometimes limited. Being able to pick some preferred vanilla image and run the same commands to get the same node up and running is just so easy to experiment with, and it works even before your image registry server is up and running.
In the second part of the article, Dr. Stephen wrote:

> "I know firsthand the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, including the booster. I was infected with COVID-19 in May 2020, before any vaccines existed, and I ended up in the hospital with pneumonia and blood clots. It took me four months to recover. Then, on Dec. 21 this year, after exposure to a colleague who later tested positive, I developed a fever and sore throat; one day later, I tested positive. This time, with two vaccines and the booster in me, I was better in four days..."

This doesn't seem to be a well-controlled experiment. How does he know that it's specifically the booster that allowed him to recover in four days? The two primary shots may have been sufficient to have that effect, and the antibodies acquired from his previous severe infection could have contributed. For that matter, he could have just been infected with a milder variant of the virus the second time.
Because it’s already a stretch to call gas green I don’t think it will be as easy to add worse things to the green label as it would be to add new labels to a ‘Colors similar to green’ pool.

What is the purely green alternative to gas that these gas plants will steal funds from? Intermittent energy doesn’t qualify.

The numbers to care about aren’t the ratio of green to non green plants, but actual CO2/MWh and those won’t be hiding the problem.
The same 'nimbleness' that lets you redesign to a new brand of microcontroller for the door handle mechanism in a few weeks, also is part of the reason Tesla scores worst on reliability of all major carmakers.

'Designed in a hurry' and 'battle tested robust reliable design' are pretty much opposites...
It was all the way like this until everyone decided it was all about Java and scripting languages.

Go into online archives read magazines like Byte or DDJ, they are full of ads for tons of languages.
> Logins with client certificates were solved decades ago

Just because you claim it was ‘solved decades ago’ doesn’t mean it’s easier for the average joe.

I find that wallet login is much easier, no fumbling around with ‘certificates’ required, and I even hate crypto.
mapbox-gl is an engineering marvel. unforunately no longer OSS, but there's a fork [0]. not sure how actively the fork will be further developed aside from bugfixes.

Probably, but everyone has a Discord account, so if you want actual users you essentially have to use Discord (yay centralization).
Would you like to see a map of the nearby roads with no lables on it? I fyou zoom in to the point where a road is half the width of the screen I'll deign to add a label on one of the little side roads you don't care about.

Never will I ever tell you what the arterial route you're currently on is called though. Sucker.
I find it fascinating how this comment with no explanation whatsoever other than "he's self-deluded, look for yourself" is voted to the top.
Sushiswap did for a bit, iirc. It's doing quite well either way, though.
Not completely. The main difference between blockchain and classical banking is that the protocol defines what transaction can be done and the network of block producing nodes manages the evolution of its state. In classical banking you have multiple routes that go around the protocol (law in this case) and you also live in a federated feudal system where your bank reigns supreme in what you own.
"Batteries/Storage are cheap to build today"

And yet the existing battery facilities that could keep a smallish region (or a single city) supplied for 15 minutes or more are exceedingly rare.

Maybe they aren't as cheap as you claim. Australia is recently building a 1200 MW battery in New South Wales for 2.4 billion dollars - a cost comparable to a new nuclear reactor.

Facebook wasn't the first social network. Not even close. Facebook succeeded because it did very similar things to the prior ones, but a little bit better than them in just the right ways. That is the essence of a fork.
Explain how a commission of 27 commissioners, one from each member state (so 1 person from Germany and 1 person from France and 25 from the other 25 member states), with at the head a person who was elected to that position by the European Parliament, which is the group of 705 MEPs who each are in turn elected proportionally by the population of the EU, amounts to "France and Germany basically control the EU".

The laws proposed by the European Commission still need to be accepted by the European Parliament as well, indeed the commission is basically fully subordinate to the parliament, so even if the European Commission was somehow "unfairly controlled by France and Germany", which I find highly suspect considering the specifications of it, the parliament is responsible in the end, and that consists entirely of elected representatives.

This sounds more like typical Brexit-style anti-EU propaganda than a valid summarisation of the politics of the EU.
This isn't specific to web3 but more crypto but the idea of having an integrated method of collecting royalties on resale of an item indefinitely is pretty exciting.

That said, the hype seems a little bit overblown. When people are so focused on "overthrowing Big Tech" as to why web3 will be the next wave, it just seems like hype over substance.

I forgot what the name of it was, but I tried to sign up to some web3 social media site. In order to even post, you had to drop $80 on the relevant crypto to post on the site. I understand the justification but that made me immediately just lost interest in the web3 space. Seems kinda like a pyramid scheme. The people who are already in get richer while the newcomers just get magic beans.
Note that "one dollar, one vote" describes a plutocracy, not a democracy.
No they don't gatekeep the information, your information is always available to you.

Maybe they don't offer the information in the specific way that you want, but that can also happen in web3(Propertery API, OAUTH2 which means you have to have static ip server for authentification,etc.).

You pay for the convenience of having your data aggregated in the specified format.

That aside, banks in the EU are forced to offer api services, as specified in the PSD2 standard.

I just don't see how doing everything in a web3 solves anything better than regulations.

Bit off topic, but whats going on with there being pronouns next to names in the video chat recording ?

Is this some new standard ? Should I start adding he/him just in case I offend someone by not being explicite with something that is rather obvious in 99% of cases?
Not to deter from your point, but said basement was far far above the water line and even above the flood wall. And different placement would have been more risky for earthquake damage. The failing was the insufficient flood wall, which TEPCO very definitely knew about, with almost exactly this scenario predicted, not the placement of backup generators.
