> What point? Nobody said anything about "cloud flare to reach its meat hooks" in the article or the above thread except you?

The OP mention "cloud flare to reach its meat hooks" in the thread attacking those who haven't jumped into Cloud flare's bandwagon by putting up a strawman on how that's only due to ignorance.

OP clarified that misrepresentation by pointing out the risk of allowing a single company to control the CDN market specifically and serving web content in general.
The transition is not straightforward, and with what's at stake they absolutely need to take their time to get it right; they only get one chance.

I don't really use Ethereum, but I commend the devs for recognizing the problem years ago (before I was even aware of it) and taking steps to remedy the situation.

In the short-term, yes, it is incredibly wasteful (though recent changes have disincentivized mining somewhat, even with a bit of protest) and there are many other cryptocurrencies which are already proof of stake available. This year, hopefully, Ethereum will finally move to PoS.
HN makes Reddit less interesting
Over the past month, I've increased my frequency of HN usage.

I've found the links more interesting, and more importantly, the discussions more intelligent.

As a result, my default bored-i-need-stimulation behavior has switched from browsing to Reddit to browsing to HN.

I find this behavior change helpful in two ways:

1. The HN frontpage updates more slowly than Reddit, so I waste less time getting sucked into the link abyss.

2. I don't feel compelled to engage in the Reddit karma game. I've found myself mid-comment deciding that this is a waste of time, and just close the page.

I'm not sure what exactly is my point. But I'm starting to appreciate the value of small neich communities like HN.
> if the developer wants to integrate them

What’s the incentive for the developer to do this? And more importantly how does my M4 rifle work in an epic fantasy role playing game?
I bought https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00006IFB4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_... to refill the erasers as they run out. I don't usually use them. I prefer a regular one but I wear them out when on the road.
I'm not considering that at all, no. From talks with all my peers, it's pretty obvious to me that this is the very normal aging process, and TRT has too many known side effects (and unknown 2nd order side effects) to be worth it
There's also Kaweco, Schneider, Pelikan, and a few other German FP brands. Hard to guess :)
That also seems strange to me. For a majority of current browsers, based on Chromium, one can argue that Google has little interest in supporting RSS. But that doesn't apply to Firefox, for example. What's the explanation?
I disagree. Refusing money without strings attached from someone doesn't mean you morally agree with that person. I would say it's even unethical to refuse the money if you are a charity. You essentially say that your charity is less important then the morality of someone who is external to you. And in that case why are you even running your charity. You should be fighting the person whose morals you disagree with since you have placed that higher then the charity.
Kernel calls and cgroupfs are the main functions we use. cgroupfs is a file system, so it only reads and writes to files. I think it can do simple things. Of course, I started out with something very simple. It's fun to do just a little bit.
Exactly!

I have a masters degree from CMU, certainly a very top school in CS. I probably could've passed this style of interview fresh out of school. I did enjoy algorithm classes, it was fun.

It was also well over 20+ years ago and having had a successful career in silicon valley as an individual contributor, I have used that knowledge... never. Not once. It has no relevance to software engineering. I've forgotten nearly all of it. Want to hire someone to design and implement solid, performant, maintainable, secure production code? That's me. Want to test me by regurgitating memorized algorithms? Nope, I'm not participating in your game. The loss is yours.
Motaki show are a new way to host live arts, in unique places or virtually using augmented reality while inspiring individuals to take care of the planet, soil and ecology.
Cryptocurrency as an open source form of money should have been more popular.
There were a few game engine that adopted this approach (though I can mentally visualise the games, my mind has gone totally blank trying to name said engines). I wouldn’t go so far as to say it was common practice but it certainly was a technique used by a few game developers.

A lot of the time is was as much down to portability as anything else. However I’m not that familiar with Koei (aside having a few titles as a gamer) to comment on their design decisions.
US healthcare costs more but the quality of care and capacity is miles ahead. Let's face it, if you have money and/or are the class of professional that qualifies for a TN visa, you'll have health insurance and you'll receive better care than you ever could in Canada.

Look at your link, the US is #2 in the only category relating to the actual care you receive.

The main problem in Canada isn't the quality of care per se, it's the fact that our health care system is so gutted you can't access it in a timely manner with no options to get around it (ie. very little private delivery). Anything that's considered non-essential (which is quite a bit, including many quality of life procedures) takes months to years...
What incentive does the developer of the second game have to support a portable account? We've seen how it played out with social networks. And if both game 1 and game 2 are by the same developer, then all that's needed for portability is a common account management service owned by the said developer.
This is not a good comparison because big mining farms are not equivalent to people playing video games at home.
The difference of course being pets.com at least did something theoretically better than going to a pet store. Chewy was enabled by better logistics that just weren’t there in 1999.

For crypto, it’s not like there is a cool use case hampered by a lack of support infrastructure, there just is no cool use case (yet).

Like what’s version 2.0 of Solana look like? Is it a consumer transaction network? Is it a web3 thing? What’s the unlock that gets us there? Are we just applying the wrong metaphors to the wrong technology because we are hopeful that there will be “another Internet” that our generation can profit from?
What's the advantage of this over class decorators?

To me, class decorators seem to be much easier to reason about.
It only solves one problem, proof of work (or now I guess proof of stake).

It doesn't solve the political issue(s), for this reason most everything going on is harmful nonsense...

It could have been a part of a larger puzzle, but it's not and the people (seriously) involved with it are mostly scumbags and scammers, by the sound of it.

The legit businesses were a start but it never became a true payment contender, meanwhile those in power ran interference with competing payment systems (think apple or google pay, absolute nonsense I absolutely do not want) or propoganda "yeah this is illegal and fake and all worth nothing", which just hurt adoption.

Sounds like there is hope with Ethereum for it to actually be useful but Bitcoin is just a speculation heatsink at present. "In the future" it might work but there is a likely chance it will be gone in the future...
No, it isn't. "Validating" a transaction takes very little energy -- in most cases, it's a simple ECDSA signature check.

What's being "validated" by PoW mining is that someone has done a bunch of expensive, energy-intensive work on a block of transactions to satisfy an arbitrary condition (that a hash of the block be less than a target value). Explaining how this actually "secures the transactions" involves a great deal more hand-waving.
If your organization cares about its carbon footprint it won't use a cryptocurrency. Just like most companies stopped to accept fax as a means of communications.
There might be many, this is a new field. A starter would be an existing userbase holding NFTs that enter the game. Different forms of monetarization (entering with NFTs, storing progress on the NFTs, marketplaces,...) might be a thing.
For context, I'm a coder and game as a hobby

What room do you use in the house?
A spare bedroom that I've claimed for my office. I'm a messy desk person so it makes it easy to hide it when friends come over, and it's nice to have a quiet space.

Do you have a special desk?
The biggest L shaped desk that was reasonably affordable and didn't look like crap. Having worked on tiny improvised desks most of my career it's nice to spread out a bit.

What monitors do you have?
-A 27" 16:9 2k@144hz is my center monitor, the higher res and refresh rate is pleasant even when not gaming.
-A 24" 16:10 dell monster that I stole from an old job and you will have to pry from my dead hands. I have some extra video cables hooked up for it to double as a lab monitor.
-A 17" 1080@144hz recycled panel from a gaming laptop that died. Good for background listening or meetings that you're half focusing on.

Keyboard? Mouse?
Currently have a steel series keyboard and mouse. The keyboard is meh for typing and I've purchased one better suited for my typing habits. The mouse has like 13 macro buttons that are quite useful for hotkeys and turbo/toggle bindings.

Do you work from a laptop?
I have a work issued laptop that lives downstairs. Typically use it for about a hour or so every workday. It provides a bit of a break in the day, and I often use it to attend meetings while lounging on the couch (no cam, of course)

Do you move around the house?
Yep, it's critical to walk away from problems every now and then, gives you space to think. Often when I switch between my laptop or desktop I work on different tasks to fully get my brain to switch.

What other equipment? Microphone? Webcam?
We don't use cameras in meetings often (very lucky). However, I fully endorse getting a good wireless headset for your PC with range to spare. It lets me pace or grab things from the kitchen while not missing anything.

Isn't that a default behavior for modern JavaScript SPAs: bundle all the frontend code into several files with unique hash names and refer them from generic html home page? Changing hash every time code changes?
I understand how proof of work works. That’s not what was being discussed here, the point was that justifying proof of work as being a catalyst for clean energy is just stupid, because proof of work has nothing to do with clean energy, it just uses a monumental amount of it and wants to greenwash itself with promises of potentially being clean to justify its continued existence. Like, it’s like people living next to a lake and drinking from it and feeling uneasy that the water might not last if they keep using it, and then you come by and start slurping up half of it, and when people complain you point at some small fraction of the water you’re using coming from desalination or something. Except you don’t care about desalination at all, or even the lake, you just want water cheaply to use massive amounts of it and when people come to you and say you are using massive amounts of water you don’t even stop using the massive amounts of water but instead point at your dinky little desalination plant, which doesn’t do anything in the grand scheme of things and people were working in doing anyways, plus news just came out pumping water on the other side of the lake is even cheaper and the enforcement on how much water you can take from it laxer and you were photographed over there taking all their water too, so yeah. Kind of sick of this argument being pushed at all, and it has nothing do with how blockchain works.
Rules for Buying Crashing Growth Stocks
this runs into the boundary issue, though. getting your hat asset you bought in HatWars into your Garden Town save file isn’t trivial. the two games’ developers need to use the same assets or one needs to remake the asset. it’s cool for the player but work and money for the developers that i’m not sure provides them much value
All of this because the c++ devs who wrote rust do not realize that having a big and well conceived stdlib helps a ton (go is a great example).
So then is the problem "crypto currency mining" or "large bitcoin mining farms"? If that's the case it shouldn't be a problem if an individual wants to mine ethereum in their home.

Regardless there are 1.5+ billion gamers which does make it comparable. Video streaming in aggregate consumes an incredible amount of energy, as does non-essential plane travel. But people seem to not mind that. It's fine if people want to enjoy their movies or fly around the world for pleasure but it's a bit of cognitive dissonance.
Accepting money means whatever people perceive it to mean. Charities are unavoidably ideological, and their every action will be interpreted politically. If a charity accepts money from a source some people consider tainted, those people may now consider the charity tainted as well, and they may stop donating.
> (...) helping Cloudflare get it's meathooks in the internet offsets all the really big companies (...)

What? No. Cloudflare reported a revenue of half a billion dollars, and already controls about half the CDN market.

Let's put things in perspective: in comparison with Cloudflare's business, AWS is a minor player and an underdog with less than half of Cloudflare's market share.

Cloudflare is by no means a small company or an upstart or a David among Goliaths. Cloudflare is in fact and by far the Goliath of the CDN world.
Yes, the loss of ability to focus is truly one of the most... oh look! A kitten!
The NFTs might be independent of the game, maybe just exist as data structure on a neutral NFT smart contract with an existing network effect/reputation.
It is using energy just to prove that you’ve used more energy than an attacker is presumed to be able to use. If our energy suddenly became 1000× cheaper and greener, then the mining difficulty would increase by 1000×, and the system would remain equally destructive. And there would be no benefit from this 1000× increase in energy usage—this would not enable more, faster, or cheaper transactions. Just hash values with more zero bits to certify that more energy was used. If that doesn’t qualify as “using energy just to use energy”, then nothing does.
Or also that this is a paid service that's priced at several hundred dollars (billed annually! if you're cool enough to be "selected"!).
Is there a single economy that demonstrates this working effectively without taxes?
I don't think the problem is a specific CDN. Is that everyone ends up using the same CDN, so when Cloudflare has problems, it affects everyone. Same with AWS, large swaths of the internet goes down if AWS does, which sounds great for AWS in marketing material, but less great for the general usability of the web.
We tried private ambulances and that is an ongoing disaster, what you are describing is a personal army or guard, look at history to see the plethora of problems with those...

Not that Police are perfect, far from it, but I'd rather a force I can sue in court and protects me from my enemies even if I'm broke than a private militia.

You could have Police-As-Contractors I guess but unless that comes with some legal innovations that just adds another layer of bureacracy.

Objectively terrible idea.
NFTs don't have to be (are not) the asset, just parameters/stats and the graphical representations can look different according to the game.
The TOTP spec (rfc6238) allows up to 10 digits or 10 billion unique values, a bit bigger than IPv4's space.

Running anything like fail2ban on IP address misses would stop brute forcing in its tracks.
Your information may be out of date. Wiki[1] says "In December 2021, the FDA approved Apretude, which is an injectable form of PrEP", and Apretude seems to be a brand name for cabotegravir, which is the chemical named in the OP. (The capital letters in PrEP make me think it's a specific drug, but apparently people use it to mean several different drugs with similar purposes.)

Hooray! Another Bel implementation!

As someone who is on their third year of Bel implementation -- getting there -- I recognize many of the insights in this post about continuations and about the well-chosen Bel built-ins. Great work, and thanks for writing this post.
I draw, and my main complaint about Sakura micron: the lids get loose. If I'm buying disposables, I like to buy Shinhan Touch Liners. I'm going to guess that the pigment liners cap wasn't as tight as some of the other brands. I've had the Staedtler in the parent comment, but I wasn't as disappointed, probably because I figured they were used up.

I recently got some technical pens - basically refillable fineliners - by Staedtler, actually - and am enjoying those though.
I tried that but paradoxically found that it worked better when I did the opposite: just get one gel pen and always know where it is like my keys, cell-phone, wallet, etc. These days it's more common for me to replace a pen because it's run out of ink than because I've lost it.

Even pre-pandemic I'd always carry it with me for signing receipts and the like. (Since I found using a public pen by a register kind of squicky.) I learned quickly that a pen with a cap was a must for my daily carry; retractables are just too easy to accidentally engage in my pocket.
I can't help but think that if this was feasible and desired we'd have working examples of it even if tied to game accounts.

If you're writing a game and trusting data from another game...you have a trusted authority and you can just use traditional apis, no?
I'm not SublimeText user neither. IMO the problem was really #2 and #3.
It's perfectly fine to switch the license model between major versions, and it might even be fine between minor updates as long as the committed maintenance period elapsed. Doesn't matter which method was chosen, at least prompt the user before installing the update that a new license is required to continue installation. If the user opt to not continuing, then the upgrade should be cancelled, auto-update should be disabled permanently and no changes should be make to the users system.

Sublime's behavior was deceptive and invasive, their users have all the reasons to grudge.
The transactions? I thought it’s the mining that consumes all the energy.
20 years ago I pitched something like this, but based on network traffic (shaping with routers, switches & fws) managed in a 3D world.

My presentation skills suck, so it never got off the ground but I still visualise network traffic in my head that way. Would still love to roam around in networks and enjoy the graphics.
It is not, as the only way to pass ownership as of now is through submitting a death certificate.
I've just given some pretty concrete examples above; do you suppose I'm incorrect or perhaps portraying them inaccurately, or that the problem is so rare as to be dismisable?

Notably, I didn't actually argue above that "taking someones money means you must morally agree with that person", but instead provided concrete examples of how taking money from morally dubious sources compromises peoples ability to act ethically, and further, compromises that charities appeal to people who would otherwise consider donating.
And how does the risk of that compare against:

- the risks from whatever else the heroin is cut with (fentanyl?)
- the risk of getting HIV
- the risks of taking heroin in the first place

I suspect that what they're doing is a net improvement.
Many cathedrals have been rebuilt two or three times, and building a bigger church over the top of a smaller one is normal, but there are also plenty that have survived more or less as they are for at least several centuries. (Hell, there's an 11th century church in my home village, and it still has the door on the wrong side because the village itself was moved due to plague).

Straight masonry without rebar lasts essentially forever - think of all those Roman viaducts that are still in use. Water can wear through it eventually if the shape lets it, especially in places with freeze-thaw cycles (so there's a saying that a church will survive as long as there's someone around to clear the gutters). I guess hurricanes would probably do it if you're in a place that gets those. But there's just not a whole lot to go wrong with what's essentially a big lump of stone. (Of course a bare stone building is not particularly comfortable for living in, and you have to be a bit more careful about how you maintain wood or fabric on the inside - but the building shell itself will last as it is)
Lol it is really me. Look at you, crazy vindictive lady, saving everything on a google drive. It wasn’t strangling the way you think it was. Once again, the police used inflammatory words to make it sound worse then it seems. They get $10k from fines, go figure

Like others, this sounds amazing and I'd totally pay $400 for it if I could try it out somehow first. Some kind of freememium model makes more sense to me.
I'm an experienced dev with plenty of my own ideas, but I'm not experienced in everything and I always balk at how much drudge work I'd need to do to really get something going. This sounds awesome and super valuable.
At least with the European ones I've travelled let you see the selection first, then nag for money. So answer to parent poster would be that's one option, but it's a hassle since you have to fill in a lot of forms before the payment stage where you can see the seat selection.
If you intend to use them for writing, my go-to writing pencil for years has been the Mitsubishi Hi-Uni in H or 2H; the lead is virtually unbreakable, it holds its point for a decent amount of time and is smoother to write with than just about any 2H pencil I've ever used.

I'm a leftie, but the Hi-Unis aren't as prone to digging into the paper when pushed across the paper as most other pencils I've tried - despite the excellent point!

Get a KUM sharpener, too, while you're at it, and chances are you'll never look back.

(Anecdotally, all the kids in my son's class (2nd grade/7yo) now use Hi-Unis after his teacher realized that his handwriting was more legible than most because of the consistent, fine line -and that she hardly ever needed to help him sharpen his pencil; the wood in the Hi-Unis is very dense and well assembled, so it doesn't catch in the sharpener like a lot of cheaper pencils does.)
