Then the research is inaccurately described. They should talk about perceived injustice, not merely inequality.

Even the Chinese Communist Party came to realize that people must be allowed to reap unequal rewards (based on their talent and labor) to escape desperate poverty. Their agricultural productivity tripled when they let people sell some of their produce rather than turning it all over to the state [1].

This is how Deng Xiaoping began his rise to power in a country gripped by the madness of Maoism. By accepting inequality even though the Communists have always demonized its socioeconomic manifestations.

Look at housing in the US. Every home owner gate keeps and many rent seek. It is expected that value does not go down and actually increases faster than inflation. That is rational per person but net detrimental and a significant part of increasing inequity as poor and young cannot keep pace generally. Wealth begets wealth. Its also arguable if home owners are the upper class. Maybe there will be another correction but the govt will likely step in to prevent it.
Slides rules, though. Although it'd be nontrivial to make them, and I'm not sure where the demand would come from. For some of the same practical engineering approximations they might use compass and straightedge instead.
I'm not convinced the government regulations around finance are a net win. Might often just be wishful thinking by politicians, just decree things have to be in some specific way, rather than tackling the root causes for issues.
Wow, they've released a lot more titles lately. The one issue is size, these fit in the home a lot easier, because they're much smaller. The bottleneck seems to be LCDs; commercially reasonable 4:3 LCDs top out at 17", which is on the small end. Arcade machines commonly had (CRT) screens from 19-25".

Of course, older games often look better on CRT than LCD, but CRTs obviously aren't going to happen, unfortunately.
Why HN?
One of the things modern tools left behind is how the code and UI were bound together.

For a while, Flash had this, and it was one of the things that made it fun and easy to hack stuff together with. Then Actionscript 3 happened and that wasn't allowed any more because AS3 was a Serious Language for Serious Developers.

(Actionscript 1 was a horrible thing you could only enter by selecting keywords from a dropdown menu, it was really terrible for doing anything more than basic interactivity. AS2 hit a real sweet spot of being something you could quickly type into a text box and tie closely to the objects in the editor.)
Sure, individual picks, but the article we're discussing is that Americans want Biden to choose from all possible picks. Trump stated (and followed through) with nominees from the Federalist Society's list, a list limited to those holding a specific ideology. Biden's got a different list, but gets a ton of flack. Trump sails on the list pledge. Let's stick to the topic.

It is theoretically possible that one of said early private keys is randomly derived from a memnoic phrase. The chances however are miniscule.
No, they're suggesting that given that Google has chosen to provide free static hosting, Europe has decided they can't moderate it with purely automated systems with no appeals process.

This is like running a restaurant in the US, and not being able to discriminate by race. You're not required to run a restaurant, and certainly aren't required to run one that gives away free food, but if you are certain obligations come attached.

I'd also argue that your use of the phrase "fundamental human right" is misleading. Europe can and does require you do things for reasons other than respecting fundamental human rights. So does pretty much every other law making authority.
In many cases C++ is the only tool for the job, unless one wants to have fun doing their own toolchain on top of the platform SDKs, or drop down to C, even worse.
What were the secrets? There's none in the article. Its a 2 minute read... I'm confused. What is this?
If China are only doing this now they are late to the party.
I'd recommend you through the CryptoZombies[1] "Solidity Path: Beginner to Intermediate Solidity Smart Contracts" course, it's similar to something like FreeCodeCamp or Codecademy, and see what you think afterwards.

It's a free course, you can complete it in roughly 6 hours, in very bite-sized chunks that pretty much anyone with prior programming experience can follow, and has some very good information about the unique quirks of smart contracts (although keep in mind it uses an older version of Solidity and I've already discovered a change in syntax since the version it has on there, i.e. array.push returned the new length of the array in older versions of solidity, but doesn't return anything in newer versions[2]).

The tech stack is still evolving and a bit of a moving target, with new tools and tech coming out periodically, but it's pretty interesting, and there's not a ton of people developing in the space so it's not terribly hard to find a project to work on once you get the basics (I stumbled into one by chance myself).

I think at some point most companies will probably want to incorporate this tech into their websites to a certain extent, at least connecting to a wallet as an identification option, if nothing else. And in the meantime there's potentially some easy ETH to collect from all those NFT projects for a relatively small amount of work.

It's definitely wild west, though, and I'd be careful accepting work from random people online asking for work in it, without getting some sort of payment up front, as there's plenty of scams and 'rug pulls' out there (seemingly legit, but then just disappear after taking everyone's money[3]).

It also completely opens the door to remaking all the same software, but this time it's new because it's based on the blockchain, so you can possibly get visibility amongst a sea of other apps because of that. Like I know a guy working on a web3 Patreon, and there's things like Clarity.so that's basically like a Trello board but utilizing some Web3 features.

Pick a site, any site, and you could make a web3 friendly version of it if you wanted to. Doesn't mean it'll be successful necessarily, but you'll probably have a better shot than if you just tried to convince people to stop using Tiktok.

I'm kicking around the idea of making a Web3-enabled web game portal/api myself. I have a few ideas I haven't seen done by anyone else yet that I think players would appreciate.

Not the core, which is made of stable elements like iron, but the crust. You'd think that uranium and thorium would settle to the core because they're heavy, but they're not siderophilic, so most of them stays in the crust. About two thirds of the geothermal heat flux is from fission in the crust: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_gradient

Non-sustainable heat extraction is much more likely, because the sustainable resource is only about 44 TW, while world marketed energy consumption is already 18 TW (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_energy_supply_and_consum...). By contrast, there are about 100 000 TW of solar energy available. There are billions of years of fossil heat locked up in the crust, amounting to conservatively many millions of times the total oil supply, and by extracting it faster than it was produced you can get much higher power.

Like (above-ground) nuclear energy, this is not currently an economically competitive source of exergy because of the cost of the heat engines required, except in unusual cases. It was until only a few years ago, but PV has gotten much cheaper since then. It probably won't be again until a revolution in manufacturing technology.

>"Avoid the temptation to "read" Rust from a book. Try to _do_ Rust. Otherwise it might overwhelm you. Simply keep adding Rust techniques to your arsenal as you mature in your usage of Rust."

I used to be the opposite in the ancient times. Would read a book and then start programming. But then the books were relatively tiny. Now most languages has matured to the state of having an insane amount of features. And the result is definitely what you say. Just read some brief overview on basic language constructs and then proceed by learning on on-need basis as you progress.

Among the others I program in C++ for example but I would shoot myself if asked to read something resembling its complete description. Sorry I have a life to live. And I am using only subset of C++ that solves my particular needs. If I feel my code does not look nice when doing some particular stuff then the time comes to do some more reading.
My wife and I have separate bank accounts
I've been using beancount for 3+ years and totally agree, the flexibility of it is the real USP.

I've never used any import tools though, I just enter the transactions manually maybe once or twice a week. It's been fine - especially using beancount-mode for emacs, although admittedly it's just my accounts, it might not scale so well for a family.
It may be overkill at first, but run a site for long enough, and the static generator starts to make a lot of sense.

I originally had static HTML, but that was well over 10 years ago at this point. Soon you want to wrap your pages with a template to get rid of boilerplate and keep your site consistent. Then you want auto-generated indexes, and maybe you want to check for broken links, add width/height to <img> tags, etc.

My personal website has hundreds of pages on it, not counting the auto-generated index pages. Automation is a necessity at this point. It is still written in HTML... I never adopted anything like Markdown, and I've abandoned any use of custom syntax like Hugo's or various templating systems, at least, outside the static site generator code itself.
Does the definition of a sociopath say what they would say in that situation?
Yes, Directory Opus is outstanding. I'm an Emacs fanboy to an intense degree, but I've never bothered to learn Dired. Directory Opus, although mouse-driven, is simply too powerful.

Current main stream isn't worth listening in 16/44 either.

I would be a critical listener with high expectations. Not trained professionally. I don't hear a difference going from 16/44 to 24/96. But I hear a tremendous difference listening to a good sound engineer and producer and a well performing artist. That's where my money goes.
I agree with the article's points that many of today's websites are bloated and user-hostile. A 'spartan' website like that is a refreshing change. I'd add one more virtue to the list: it doesn't deliberately break Reader Mode.

The ideas listed are similar to those of the sadly overlooked IndieWeb community, [0][1] and they complement them. Ideally, the web should be both indie and boring.

Ex Amiga and Atari ST programmer. C Compiler, games, BBS doors, databases, and a few other things published.

There were many games that worked beyond 512K, Prince of Persia being a notable one, and I think DungeonMaster by FTL being another. I started on the A500 but eventually acquired an Amiga workstation with 8MB RAM, a 68030 CPU and a 120MB HDD that was an absolutely stunning development system for the time. I also had a couple of A500s on the desk, in various configurations, to make sure the code I wrote would work on other machines. And a dedicated A2000 running the BBS with a 1GB HDD. I'd code on the x30 equipped Amiga, and download via parallel cable to the A500 for testing.

The interesting thing about Amiga RAM layout was that there was Chip RAM and Fast RAM and RAM. Chip RAM was accessible by both CPU and dedicated video/sound chips. I am going to get a bit fuzzy on the remembered details, but the CPU accessed the RAM on the rising clock and the chips accessed the RAM on the falling clock - I'd have to verify if that was the correct way around. Fast RAM on the Zorro bus or in the Sidecar was only accessible by CPU, so it had full bandwidth access. I recall the trapdoor RAM expansions was often slower, not just because of the shared bus but also many manufacturers just used the cheapest/slowest RAM they could source.

I recall the ECS could access RAM up to 1MB, maybe even more, it's been 30+ years. I wrote functions to detect if the computer had Fast RAM installed and if so, relocate the code above 512KB for a speed boost, and also, in the case of a compiler, put a small "RAM disk" above 512KB to cache data.

Original Atari ST was interesting for other reasons beyond the chipset of the Amiga, mainly the peripheral support, the not worrying about RAM layout, the higher resolution displays (oh my god those high rez grey scale displays). Also I could wire up my ST to my Yamaha DX7 and run Cubase. My first ST development system was the 260 ST with the ROM BIOS on a dongle on the left hand side, which I had to send back (the entire machine) to Atari for replacement when they finally released the 520 ST to developers. Years later I was kicking myself for having sent the machine back because there was less than 1,000 of the 260 ST developer units made and it was a piece of history. And then through a strange confluence of events, almost 25 years later, I was wandering around WeirdStuff several years before it closed and there, on the shelf, for ten bucks, was the 260 ST with my initials on it.

I liked programming the Atari ST for "just get on with it", in that it was you, the CPU, and the display output, and it was a pretty straight line between the two. On the Amiga, you often had to think in "parallel" parts and timings, so it was a different mindset. It wasn't harder or easier, it was just different. I enjoyed developing for both for different reasons.
The Geysers is one of the handful of places in the US that has all the ingredients—the heat, the water, and the right amount of fractures. Forge is trying to figure out how to enhance geothermal systems so you can have viable geothermal in areas without the favorable subsurface rick features.
When the algorithm is your boss
Fyi, NSFW
the native asset of the virtual machine lacks the expanded primitives that people are accustomed in the other assets they've created

wrapping it lets it inherit those primitives for use in other programs more easily

many programs handle the wrapping and unwrapping just-in-time behind the scenes, using a chained method call to the same contract OP used

Its pretty hard to mess up, but OP managed to
Thanks for making the effort.

All with the background that the US deep state including the NSA are proven to infringe on every thinkable human right, if it just serves their own purpose. This is a bed they themselves made, they have to lie in it. (Pun not intended)

[0] is quite unusable from this POV, as the author is an ex(?)-NSA person. It is an opinion hit-piece, starts with character assassination, just repeats the accusations.
The recommendation to submit himself to US secret (!) court system is a mockery, if you have followed the Assange show-trials. Secret court systems that always rule in favor of the state? That, being secret, cannot undergo the scrutiny of the public?
Even if he is innocent, at this point nobody who makes this suggestions can be taken seriously. He would be at the mercy of a vengeful deep state while disappearing in a supermax prison for at least some years. Versus, living what looks like a decent live in Moscow.
If Snowden was innocent, this is just the same as I would expect from a lying NSA mouthpiece. The story about getting trapped in Russia would include some severely dumb mistakes by the US. Revoking his passport exactly at this time, trapping him in the capital of one of their worst enemies?
Again, nothing what Snowden did after his escape really depends on his motives.

[1] Interesting spy story. But again from an ex(?)-NSA person. Also, or, in consequence, a bit one-sided and very focused on the cold-war communist scare.

About the "without Putins approval". What do you mean? Even if a dictator like Putin had no involvement before, presented with such an opportunity, I'd fully expect him to personally take advantage of such a situation, showing the "hypocrisy of the west" and sticking it to the US. That's exactly what he is doing now, dangling Snowden in front of the world.
Snowden seeking protection from a weaker country would have been very stupid for him, as Assange can surely tell in hindsight.

Anyway, all of this could also be a ruse of the NSA, to publicize a lot of things hat had been public knowledge anyways all at once, containing the public uproar and legalizing their forbidded deeds. Most things like the secret spy gear room etc. in advance.
Did anyone in the NSA going rogue get punished for overstepping their boundaries, breaking numerous laws? I don't think so. The only ones who are punished are the messengers, and then law breaking only stopped, because the laws have been changed.
You’re mistaken, they usually can’t deal with it.

They’ll ask the other bank if they’d like to return the money, and that bank will maybe ask the recipient if they’d like to return the money.

The recipient doesn’t want to return the money? You’re SOL. You can go to court, but they can trivially evade civil action by transferring the money overseas.
I went through the same thing. I used to use hledger. Now I use lunchmoney so my wife can use the tool. TBH I'm thinking about going back to hledger. Don't get me wrong lunchmoney is amazing but it's not as well suited to me. My wife has little interest in looking at the budget so there is not much point.
I can recommend https://realpython.com/products/cpython-internals-book/ as a decent initial documentation of cpython. I have a copy of this book at my desk for the few cases when I need to debug GIL or memory allocator related issues in cpython.
Agreed. I've found the insistence my college professors had on writing everything yourself and not using libraries or modules for common tasks to be in the end counter productive. Namely for the reason you described. To reference Carl Sagan, I didn't have the stamina in the beginning to build the universe before I made my apple pie.

Additionally, code is more collaborative than that, and it shows in a lot of engineering departments when people aren't trained on how to look at the shelf for existing parts before building something new.
Indeed, it would seem that meritocracy is something of a myth? Or perhaps a half-truth? How can one work hard to achieve a subjective indicator? This subject just made me think about it a bit. There are probably thousands (10's of thousands?) of judges fit to sit on the Supreme Court who have all the merit, and yet statistically speaking basically none of them ever will which makes any selection unfair, no?

This might actually be one reason to enlarge the court, but of course you'll still have many more qualified candidates than slots.
According to wiki the Kárahnjúkar Dam took 4000 tons of steel, and flooded 440,000 acres, and presumably consumed an ungodly amount on concrete. Presumably you can't keep expanding that sort of infrastructure forever.
Thanks, I missed that line!
I watched only the second video and also find it poor. It basically just says that using this system to transport a train-load of cargo between two train terminals would use more energy than a train. Well, you don't say.

Also, as other videos on the channel it is arrogant and mocking.

Yeah CRTs aren't realistic these days but I do think it's possible to emulate the look pretty decently with shaders at least.
Lol verifying with small amounts takes like 5 extra minutes, messing up and having to jump through hoops to fix your errors will take days, especially if you do it on weekends or holidays. And they may not be reversible easily, e.g. IIRC one bank accidently paid off the loan of one of their boderline-default customers to another bank and then couldnt get the money back.
You were literally wrong given the context of the conversation. It is immaterial which features Solaris got 13 years down the road in its competition with Linux (and Linux wasn't static as well).

> Kernel architecture is also highly relevant, ever wonder why Android phones only get a few years of updates?

I figure in your mind it has to do something with micro-architecture rather than vendors not giving a flying fart, so I'll bite. Can you explain the mechanism by which a monolithic kernel update is any harder than a bunch of services?
Space Harrier was a good game. Afterburner at least _looked_ good.

In retrospect, Out Run is a much weaker game, sillier than I remembered -- especially when you consider Konami's outstanding (if madly difficult) WEC Le Mans came out the same year. Good soundtrack though.
Did you covert your hledger journal to beancount, or just start anew?
I scripted up a dumb little Python+Jinja transformer with a dumb yaml file for vars. Its like 50 lines of code. Ifs really boring. I also use a little pandoc in my build script
> There's no reason for my health to be harmed just because someone has more than me.

You would think so, but I've read several articles that suggest this isn't the case. One example that comes to mind is that in some communities kids experience social stress/bullying if their SMS bubbles aren't blue (because it implies you are too poor to afford an iPhone and can only afford a "lesser" Android): https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-apples-imessage-is-winning-...

From the article:

> Apple’s iMessage plays a significant role in the lives of young smartphone users and their parents, according to data and interviews with a dozen of these people. Teens and college students said they dread the ostracism that comes with a green text. The social pressure is palpable, with some reporting being ostracized or singled out after switching away from iPhones.
Why _shouldn't_ we show the case against?
MC always brings a lot of nostalgia and the though that I used to be extremely productive with it. Surely it's just a mirage of my memory and it's just I don't perform so many file managing actions anymore, but I remember not even bothering with Windows Explorer until at least XP.
These exist in some smart contracts.

The problem is that executing a line of code on chain is really expensive. Already quite optimised and stripped back code can cost 50-100 USD equivalent to do something fairly trivial, like swap one token for another.

Each of these checks increases the already high barrier to entry, and has little utility for the creators.
