My experience:

“I think it will take 5 days but it’s complex and I’m not sure”

“It’s taking longer than I thought because it’s complex. But marketing isn’t ready so it’s not my top priority”

“Marketing still isn’t ready so I’ve deprioritised it”

“What do you mean ‘I promised 5 days and it’s entirely my fault it’s late?’”
We’ll, firstly the largest contributor, BTC, doesn’t use GPUs.

Secondly, many of us don’t think that beef example is really “OK” either.

Third, the idea that Bitcoin or crypto in general runs predominantly on green power is bullshit.

Fourth, BTC now consumes more power and has more associated carbon output than many mid sized countries, it is not some piddling little thing that we can safely ignore.

Fifth, and last - My point that you replied to was about the article writing the problem off as personal choice. While we only have one planet it is not just personal choice.

I've been struggling with fixing some edge cases with emojis in latin1 encoded DB this past couple of days and what you mention here is the most important thing I found yesterday (conincidence).

Unicode strings are made up of Unicode code points, but some code points combine with others to make graphemes (single visual characters). Some emojis, like flags (U+1F1EA U+1F1E6
), are made of two code points.

EDIT: Flag unicode.
My site never failed thats the thing without paying $20. And many developers can actually do it too. If you can’t serve decent traffic for a static site, I would rather fix the leaking tap once and for all than wasting money on a water tanker every time I am out of water.
Sexuality is one of the biggest internal and external influencer on everything we do in life. Work, pleasure, friends and also technology. Sex is what identifies us. Yet, in de west, specially in the US people find it very difficult to talk about it. Some groups (religious or not) even deliberately try to cover everything up resulting in perverse behaviour which unfortunately is also very high in the US.
It might also be indirect: dumb criminal pays smart hacker to build website, in cash.
In addition there is the Roguelike Radio Podcast that has a ton of good content. Sadly it seems to be on hiatus for a while now.

But the last episode is on the Roguelike Celebration event: http://www.roguelikeradio.com/2020/09/episode-156-roguelike-...
The irony is that much of the criticism against the missing physical link / utility of crypto was surely levelled against the idea of money in its earliest days.

"Coins? Why would I want those instead of food? I can't eat coins."

To which the killer adoption feature was governments saying "Well, you have to pay taxes in coins, so you need some" to bootstrap & put a floor in under the system's value.

Crypto doesn't appear to have had a "tax" moment yet.

Is there anything I can only do with Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc? Which is to say, if the value of both absolutely collapse (to some fraction of a cent), who would still be buying, and to do what?
Isn't having the part that submits the password embedded in the same shell history as the command itself more integrated than having a tool you need to tell to input your passwords pseudo-interactively each time? Isn't it also fewer keystrokes?

Either way, if you prefer something more interactive and keybind-y, one portable alternative you can use regardless of terminal emulator without necessarily involving a clipboard is to plug the password manager CLI into a terminal multiplexer, e.g.:

https://github.com/BlueDrink9/tmux-passwords

https://github.com/rafi/tmux-pass

https://github.com/Alkindi42/tmux-bitwarden

(I understand that this is kind of the opposite of what the terminal emulators you listed are about, which is having the terminal emulator do the multiplexing and other integrations. But you can get the same stuff done and it's more portable.)
Mine too. Strange misspellings that I never typed showing up, especially for Sanskrit terms (which I use a lot). Have to watch it like a hawk now.
Just some feedback! Because of your message here I read through, but just the intro and headline would have been too abstract for me and didn't solve anythings specific for me:

"Assemble a simple but powerful, fully functional codebase consisting of only what you need."

Maybe add a small list of features you supply out of the box? Auth, Subscription management, billing, etc...?
Is your thesis that BTC failed because it’s price is not stable? I don’t think that is a good metric. Most asset prices are not stable. By all the metrics I consider, it’s pretty damn successful actually.

Just because you want it to fail, doesn’t really matter. It is not failing, in fact, we had a country adopt it as legal tender last year, with another few to follow in 2022. I like that kind of failure!

Yup, loved the home screen, it had the right amount of available information and customization, coming from android back them I was very impressed by how slick the OS felt and how it didn't degrade over time even on entry devices. It was a pity it didn't get enough adoption/users/apps.
Shouldn't it be the people making the bogus claims who should pay?

What is an appropriate time according to you then?

There are only two periods of time that can be commented on.

From inception to the present.
From the present to future predictions.

The former hasn't shown a use that can't be solved better by other methods.

The latter hasn't shown any either.

Ubisoft Quarts had 15 sales for 50$, total revenue: 745$ - https://objkt.com/collection/ubisoftquartz

And only 0.665 % earns money on OpenSea. Concentration of it is way less, you can just crawl the collections. 5 collections dominate all the rest and only the first 266 collections earned > 0 eth. The other 40 k. earned 0 eth. It's obviously not a way for an artist to earn any money.

I really want to know how much power a typical 12th-gen Intel i9 laptop will require, with a number of web pages open in Windows, Windows Terminal with an Ubuntu shell open, just sitting there as I read HN.

Which is to say, mostly idle.

Next level, let's say you also have Dropbox installed and mostly up to date, not obviously indexing or whatever.

I'm getting some strange numbers from my MacBook Air M1, like 25 milliWatts of SoC power draw. 0.025 Watts. That doesn't include the display (5 Watts?) etc.

Windows Performance Monitor would show me a battery discharge of about 7 Watts on my little HP Stream 11, under roughly these conditions.

Such low end might not seem relevant to you, but it covers most of my usage. VS Code, web pages, files.

I try to keep the M1 MacBook Air away from direct contact with my skin, because my body, at ~ 36 C, is hotter than its idle operating temperature.

My old Ivy Bridge laptops can't tie their shoes at anything under 50 degrees C.

I completely agree, typing on 3310 was much more fun.

I absolutely hate typing more than 3 words on my iPhone. Not only are the keys too small for my large-ish fingers, but regularly typing in 3-4 languages completely messes up my finger-memory for each keyboard layout. Even worse, it completely messes up auto-correct.

I actually have a reoccurring nightmare where I need to send a distress message from my iPhone, but it refuses to write anything legible. I bet my subconsciousness agrees.
How do we know puppy killers aren't donating money already using traditional means?
"no use case" and "no new tech" are just vague opinions that are typical anti-crypto talking points. Whether you personally like the use cases or not, obviously they are there as it's been on fire for more than a decade now, and continuing to grow in popularity. And regarding tech, there is no doubt that the advent nakamoto consensus algorithm is an absolutely breakthrough technology that will be seen as a pivotal moment in the history of tech, for better or wrose.
The main problem is that a lot of sites no longer show a link to their RSS feeds, or include a meta tag for it.

So I've resorted to trying the following until the RSS reed comes up:

example.com/feed
example.com/feed.xml
example.com/rss
example.com/rss.xml
example.com/xml
...etc

In most cases the feed WILL be there somewhere as the feature is still in the web framework that's being used.
There is a wealth of startups out there takings small hordes of junior devs out of non-CS grads. Learning on the go, they become proper devs or get into business a few year later. Projects get out there by pure force of will.

They are like the E. Coli of devs, cheap to make experiment with, and very adaptable to any environment.
>I kind of liked the idea of NFTs as part of an asset portability system for virtual worlds. Goldman Sachs even endorsed that. I was thinking of this for items in the US$1 - US$100 range, like game items. The transaction costs would be too high if it took a blockchain transaction to walk through a portal, even for the cheap blockchains.

This is theoretically possible on Zero Knowledge rollup L2s (two strongest contenders are zkSync and StarkNet) if they achieve sufficient scale but definitely wouldn't work on monolithic chains (not even relatively cheap ones).
> I believe the idea of Web3/Crypto is that it's decentralized

Web3 is Centralized: https://blog.wesleyac.com/posts/web3-centralized - discussed here a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29766497

Even if it were decentralized, the moment a technology appears to be decentralized, we do everything in our power to add a centralized (management) layer on top (e.g. github). That layer is what the masses will flock to and eat the lunch of the original technology.

If you have a technology that is already centralized which you try to decentralize it will be nothing more than a niche existence (that might not be a bad thing. See centralized Twitter vs decentralized Mastodon as an example of this)

"Distribute", is more practical than "Decentralize" because it lets you articulate the players and don't have to worry about sybils.

The funniest thing right now is the noisy people into NFT "art" who get their work stolen and are appealing to authority in meatspace.

No, there isn't. Money is useful because it is an abstraction of a physical process somewhere.

Cryptocurrency can never be an abstraction of some physical process.† Therefore, I would argue, it can never be useful to us.

† Well, technically, it actually is an abstraction of a physical process: a heat engine with 0% efficiency.

On the c64 too, along with assorted other games with nudity ranging from crudely drawn images to scans. And one of the first things the improved graphics of the Amiga was used for was whole series of floppies with scanned nude images.
There are many people that find cryptocurrency to be incredibly useful.

In 1988-89, I was a young teenager, I remembered I got a floppy with an erotic picture on my Amiga 500 using the HAM mode which allowed 4096 colours simultaneously. The image was quite realistic, which contrasted with the usual 32 colors graphics. Back then, it wasn't usual to see something looking like an actual picture on a computer screen.

So I remembered showing this picture to some friend, to brague about my computer capabilities, when my conservative grandma entered the room and saw the pictures. She was shocked and started lecturing us on love and sex.

function mapFilter(array, callback, begin = 0, end = array.length) {

};

Here. Less than ten lines without JSDoc type annotations, twenty with them. It lets you slice, map and filter all in one call without allocating intermediate arrays like you would when chaining them, making it almost as fast as a plain for-loop. It's also easy to turn it into an in-place version, removing even the array allocation overhead.
It's not! Everything you do wastes energy to some extent, the question is how much, and what you're getting out of it. The reason people are mad at crypto is that the benefits are marginal (I mean, it's some fraction of how our money changes hands. Some people have fun with it. I'm fine with being generous, but its benefits are super concentrated and I agree that it's not really very good at its mission of decentralizing currency or whatever) and the energy usage is massive. I mean, there are other things that use a lot of energy too: cars, planes, manufacturing, etc. but we do call them out for it, and when a company says they're committed to the environment and does some token "green" work we hold them to the same standard. The reason you just hear about cryptocurrency more here is that, well, this is a technical forum where it's a frequently encountered topic.
Perspective. That figure is for a single bank, on uninsured deposits. Let's not forget it was all quasi legal tax games anyways.

If I as a US citizen have to run away from my house, the banks have stolen all the money, what good is Bitcoin going to do? At that point it's all out anarchy, and good luck finding a computer much less electricity. And assuming you find both, what in the world are you even hoping to buy?

And if you're thinking of those in other countries with less protections and stability, fair enough, but those aren't the ones speculating and getting rich off this scheme.
Same. Though I don't follow as many sites. Really useful for blogs and website with irregular/no update schedule
The whole marketing post was a bit TL;DR for me.

How long have you been making $3K/month? How much time (man-hours) did you invest in developing the product and were other costs involved? How much time/money does it currently cost to keep things running (e.g. updates, support, hosting)?

A decent developer can easily make $100K/yr, which is quite a lot of months of making $3000
The question is whether more is lost to transaction fees. They seem to answer that perfectly, no? There’s no way of donating money electronically without some fee.
=) Hi dad
there's another technique: define your own charset (a mapping of a char to a 8x8 pixel grid) and then render your image as an ascii screen in this charset.
This technique was used often on C64. It's also easy to do animations as the charset can be switched instantly. It does require a lot of preprocessing though.
Second this. This product sounds amazing. But hard to believe it without seeing it. What can you charge for that enterprises/funded entities would pay for, but side projects wouldn’t need until they start making money. Like: Electron, Oracle/SQL Server support, Exchange integration, etc. Good luck! As someone who has been “working” on a SaaS project for a year, would love to try this. But can’t shell out $400 out of pocket for something I can’t touch.
It is a good idea for (a) the top 5% of wealthy who would send their kids to private school anyway and save money with backpacking (b) the top 5% of wealthy who hold shares in private education startups and providers. Hence you would expect it to be popular in the HN bubble where nearly everyone is in the top 5%.

It is a bad idea for smart kids whose parents are poor or don't care - they will still get the lowest-cost 'public option' but now get left behind by the 50-80% of kids whose parents care to get their kids into selective schools or ones that need top-up payments, thus cementing hereditary stratification of society.
This is not true. They are allowed to figure out where the request came from, even if it is from IP information.

I had a pretty nasty back and forth with a Grammarly alternative about retention of my data, where he insisted he needed my passport and a whole bunch of other stuff to fulfill the request, to verify I was requesting from Europe. I kindly reminded him that his privacy policy states the site collects IP information.

After about a month of legal threats, the GDPR request was fulfilled.
> You're a great deal more similar to a homeschooler than normal schools.

Yes you’re right. What I’d meant was that we’ve not had to spend time in figuring out what the curriculum is and how to cobble together the course material - the basic structure is provided so it was easy for us to transition to it.

You know, I fully understand the reasons for MS to use a date format in an integer for a version number in some kind of package; it was a bit silly of them not to use a 64-bit integer for the version number there, but at least it made sense.

With this, I don't understand the reason at all. It seems to be the same issue, but why would you ever use an integer formatted as a date to display the clock? That's the other way around, and it's probably more work to create such integers than to use string formatting!

This sucks for Honda owners because it'll take forever for any update to come out, and those updates will probably cost money as well. One of the forum users says a firmware update DVD goes for $150, that's just insane.
> If you want actual human beings who are able to think abstractly, critically, and contribute to the team and help the company grow, then look for people who have been working long enough to know that leetcode is a dead end.

I am very against Leetcode style interviews. I promise every candidate interviewed by the org I lead that they won't be asked academic CS trivia.

But, I don't think what you said here is accurate.

If it were true, these other companies where all the critical thinkers have been flocking to would have displaced the FAANGs.

There are good reasons to dislike Leetcode, but your comment reads like sour grapes to me.
Hi! Thanks for your comment.
Some people are now interested in it and are considering using it as a library. For example, I don't know the details, but they are considering using some of youki's libraries in kata-container.
The most difficult part is that even if it meets the OCI Runtime specification, it doesn't work in the real world. In fact, the runc code is the specification.
As someone else said, this argument is tautological.

You're saying it's useful because it's in use because it's useful.
They are totalitarian. It really is strange, these corporations theoretically battling in a marketplace, but these large orgs with 15 datacenters and IT departments from six mergers are just thrown together into a big hierarchy and the middle management Machiavellis do knife fights over budget.

These companies could make competing internal IT groups and datacenters competing for projects and services in the company.

But companies don't like free markets and competition, every company strives to establish monopoly control. Likewise, middle management doesn't like competition, it clouds their promotion paths.

This is a common cop-out and is not specified in the laws whatsoever. If they are slimy enough to require proof (instead of just being good data processors and honoring the request anyway) tell them they should check your IP's location if they really want proof, and that if they do not comply you'll open a complaints case against them with the relevant authority for the country in which you reside.
