No, they need at-best a small subset of what OAuth offers. OAuth is already distributed in that sense. It's a standard protocol which accounts for this exact scenario. This is a solved problem today.

It's not different than "login with Google"/"login with Apple".

What does this sentence even mean? Your membership costs are on a per-service basis, and they are tied to each service you want to pay for. Different services have different costs.

This could make some sense if services wanted to get paid with Bitcoin, but ironically enough - the Bitcoin must be converted to USD at some point down the chain?

Sure, but wtf does the blockchain have anything to do with this? You're free to have an account with any service and manage it as you wish on an individual per-service basis.

I bought two HP printers, hated them for the standard reasons, then read HN comments praising Brother printers, bought two of those, and have since been very happy.

This experience led me to permanently distrust Wirecutter recommendations, as they (currently and for many years) have listed HP as their #1 recommendation for both lasers and inkjets.
That depends entirely on the toolset available.

Languages like Java, Python or Golang enable inline documentation which can then be used by standardized tools (Javadoc, Docstrings, Godoc).

eg.

https://pkg.go.dev/flag@go1.17.6#PrintDefaults

The entire documentation of this function (including HTML) is generated by the Godoc tool reading comments which conform to a certain convention.

https://cs.opensource.google/go/go/+/refs/tags/go1.17.6:src/...

There is literally no downside to this. The code and its documentation are in the same file, its much simpler for developers to update it when there is a change, and its easy to generate documentation directly from source on the fly.

i love working with flutter and dart. really hoping the job market opens up more for those. one major annoyance for me is having to create a class to handle the data from a json.

i would love to see dot notation access to keys like how javascript handles json, it turns it automatically into an object after using .json()

but overall i enjoy working with it and it is always good to see posts popping up on HN about it

>That hasn't stopped utilities from deploying wind and solar for 40% of their new generation over the last year or two, while shutting down coal plants left and right. For half a decade it's been considered settled fact that solar and wind are cheapest and the way forward. So, maybe this isn't as big a deal as you think it is.

Conspicuously absent in this incomplete story is the fact that so much of the coal has been replaced by natural gas, which doesn't have the giant unreliability downside of solar and wind. You can get away with >=~40% of your energy generated by solar/wind on every single day of the year with no interruption. Bump that up to 80% and it'll take a long time and a lot of money to accomplish that without sacrificing reliability.

But why? Just use nuclear for the other half. The goal is not "renewable energy ASAP". The goal is "minimize fossil fuel usage ASAP".

Yup, it’s what Device Tree does too however, shifting this to the OS.

>While I have never taken that specific stimulant, nor been diagnosed with ADHD

...you are not qualified to make statements of the sort, and I urge you to listen to people who have been diagnosed with ADHD and do take Adderall.

Another, fascinating thing to consider is that you may have ADHD. I was one of those people who said things similar to what you just did, because I had no idea that everyone, in fact, did not have the same struggles. How many of the posts in [2] do you find yourself relating to? If it's more then a dozen, consider getting an assessment (and reading up).

>You may have read SSC...

No, I have not. Thank you for linking it. If you read it, again, you will see that he reaffirms my point: that there are serious risks associated with Adderall taken by people who don't have ADHD, while it is an effective tool for people with ADHD (though, like every medication, it does not work for some, and can have side effects).

Please read what I have to say about ADHD medication, Adderall specifically, here: [1], and compare and contrast with SSC's "Summary" section.

Additionally, I should add that the introduction part of that article sounds like a failed attempt to describe a complex disorder to laymen. Part of it are not correct.

Psychiatrists are not infallible. I can go at length addressing which parts you shouldn't take, but let's say, the take-away from that article is in the summary, and please read what I have to say about it, and see how it compares with your experience of stimulants being taken by non-afflicted people.

TL;DR: Adderall helps me calm down, helps me switch between tasks (i.e. break focus), and helps me fall asleep when I go to bed.

This is not how it works for neurotypical people. If this is how it works for you, perhaps get yourself assessed for ADHD.

The way our federal government originally worked, with a weak central government, I imagine each state could run it's own affairs in regards to voting.

Only folks who make at least 6 million a year can vote, under the original constitution a State can make this rule. Of course various Supreme Court rulings disallow this today.

I'm not okay with this though, since once you have different standards for who can vote depending on where you live , you open up an argument to have your electoral college votes voided.

Even if you claim non citizens can only vote in X,Y,Z elections, what are you doing to ensure these same people aren't ' accidentally' voting in national elections.
I think it needs to be solved in multiple ways.

Reduce the need for cars which will reduce the load on the grid if they're driven less.

But move people to buy EV cars instead of ICE where they can't do away with having a car.

Even if that still uses dirty energy sources, it's still cleaner than having ICE cars driving everywhere with their little inefficient engines, when a big power plant can do much more to be efficient. It also decouples energy sources in such a way that green energy can be built up to replace it without consumer disruption.

It's a win win to move people to EVs, but it's not the only end goal for better climate policy
In the context of cryptography, encryption has a specific meaning. Your intuitive non-standard definition may be interesting and useful, but its aking to bringing up perceptive hashing like what Apple's been introducing for CPAM on iCloud. At this point it becomes an overloaded term and the meaning depends on context. Words are more useful and efficient if we have a common understanding to stand on.

> I don't really understand the confusion around these terms in terms of day-to-day actual work. Is this really a problem?

It absolutely is. I've seen software that, instead of salt-hashing passwords in the DB, will encrypt them with an global RSA public key (not only less secure and way less efficient, you now also have an effective undocumented max-length of passwords).

Or, way more common, utilizing base64-encoding as "encryption".

If understanding of the differences was more widespread, at least these systems may have been less terrible.

You are jumping to mistaken conclusions based on one review, the motivations of which you don't know.

Our cats were always very stinky with traditional litter boxes

As a compromise solution I've had pretty good luck placing air filters next to the litter box. The commonly recommended ones (Coway, Winix) are $100-$150 on sale and have both particulate filters and charcoal odor filters. Filter costs are ~$25/year and electricity cost is ~$5-10 per month.

That's probably more expensive over a large enough number of years relative to a robo litter box, but you're also removing other indoor allergy causes as well, so it's doing other work which may be beneficial.

Also the fan noise from the filters is very gentle; actually a plus for many.
Yeah a lot of the jumping is that junior at a no name company isn’t anything at FAANG, but senior at a no name can be intermediate/junior at FAANG.

Smart contracts just add complication; this is trivially solved internally in centralized membership systems.
Arguably per-definition a hash function takes arbitrary-size input and produces fixed-length output - change either of those and it's no longer a hash function. Don't and the pigeonhole principle guarantees infinite theoretical collisions.

I agree. There's far less of a cognitive load for developers associated with representing an expression as written, if you don't need to mess with indices, in order to accommodate the language and its vagaries.

One should not need to adjust the way one expresses an algorithm, because of opinionated language design decisions. Put another way, languages designed for scientific/engineering computing won't have a hard/fixed opinion about things that shouldn't be worried about.
