I'm curious about this as well. Here's my simple mental model.

DNS lives on the core DNS servers and is replicated elsewhere. DNS being "down" would mean that the core DNS servers were taken down.

ENS [1] lives on the Ethereum blockchain. ENS being "down" would mean that Ethereum itself was down. ENS names (.eth) resolve to address hashes on the Ethereum blockchain.

So to answer your question, they are parallel systems, so one going down doesn't affect the other.

However, the thing I'm wondering is if DNS goes down, does it take ENS with it? I'm not sure how the whole ".eth" part works, is that on DNS.

I don't believe that free speech only applies to governments, free speech also applies to the general population, also because we don't elect toasters and coffee machines to governments, and elected people have the power to change regulations and amendments, so I feel like attack on free speech need to be fought starting from our neighbours

About Neil Young not being willing to participate along with other people, I would appreciate more Neil Young to go to participate with people and counter-argumenting their ideas with words, instead of being a little kid acting like "Gne gne gne I don't want to talk to you, teacher please can you send him out of the class?", I mean we're adult and capable of expressing complex ideas and counter-arguments, there's no need to running away, imho, but he's free all he wants to be a kid, just let's not consider him a paladine of anything
I think it depends on how you define the word prestige. I work as a software engineer but also freelance composing music for mobile games, I wouldn't say that people are exactly "in awe" of what I do in either situation. Neither job is particularly difficult.
These claims for Ethereum doing 100k tps on the base layer are bogus. It might look nice, but completely out of reality from a fully distributed network.

None of the core devs talk about these things anymore and everyone has accepted that the way to scale will involve layer-2 systems and some sacrifices in decentralization for performance.

Anyone claiming to do 1k+ tps on a blockchain is either lying or just running things on a very limited or expensive network. Even then, take a look at Solana and see how many outages they are having lately.
There are only a finite number of engineering hours available. Employing more engineers doesn’t work.

Rewriting the stack in a safe language would take years (25+ years of code to rewrite).

Saying the vast majority is on ux+flash, is the super common mistake: you don’t see any of the work that is not in the UI portion of an app, that doesn’t mean that’s not getting huge amounts of work.
And I don't think your principles are sound. We are also participating in a marketplace of ideas. I'm not buying what you are selling. You are free to continue as you are, as am I.
lol just get a pdf cheat-sheet for common commands and learn emacs! it is really not that big of a deal. i think you need few hours before you can start using it effectively and independently. ignore the hype. it is just a tool
I mean, there’s been a pandemic on. I think people are all going to be looking to get out and have a lot more fun come spring.
The cost of learning these apps is minimal because the UI relies on UX that’s very well established. Putting them in 3D doesn’t drastically change them. Even people from the boomer generation have little issues with navigation. The only exception would be the G2 and other WMR headsets with terrible tracking. That’s less of an issue with people and more to do with MS’s poor WMR specification.

Imo the main friction is still mainly the social perception of VR.
Munich State Court Finds Use of Google Fonts in Violation of GDPR
> While I share the sentiment, I am not sure if it is because I just haven't understood the details behind NFTs, crypto and so on or if I actually understand enough to grasp a reality.

NFTs have been around for five years (or longer, depending on definition). Given that in that time no-one has been able to convincingly articulate why they're useful, one could be forgiven for assuming that there is no there there.
Core difference though is one side has to find a few bugs, the other side has to make zero mistakes.

This isn't true. Those seeds produce fertile plants that reproduce with plants from surrounding farms and farmers are prevented for saving those seeds. I don't know what you mean by "one guy" as they do it all the time in India from what I've read.

The nature of the transfer is implementation-defined.

Does "nature of the transfer" cover "the extent of the data set"? To me, the nature of the transfer refers to the technical implementation of the writeout mechanism. Especially given that the rationale explicitly mentions "since the concepts of "buffer cache", "system crash", "physical write", and "non-volatile storage" are not defined here, the wording has to be more abstract" it seems to me that "nature of the transfer" should not be interpreted as "the data to be written out".

But even going by the formal Description only, it does not follow to me that an implementation can choose to selectively ignore part of the data. These are the phrases used in that section:

- The fsync() function shall request that all data for the open file descriptor [..] to be transferred to the storage device

- [It] shall force all currently queued I/O operations [..] to the synchronized I/O completion state

- All I/O operations shall be completed

Each sentence contains the word "all".

The return value description reads "Upon successful completion, fsync() shall return 0". Based on this thread, the Linux kernel should never return 0 if a previous fsync failed, because the kernel has no intention of honouring the request.

Super interesting (I hadn't seen it before), thanks for sharing! I feel like there might be lots of potential solutions they're ignoring though.

> Sooner or later the writes will time out, and if you leave the pages dirty, then it effectively becomes a permanent memory leak.

Why not just get rid of the pages after the underlying medium is removed? Especially since, after that point, you wouldn't be able to guarantee much about the device's contents anyway, even if it were plugged back in.

Also, even if I buy that this is a trade-off with a permanent memory leak (which I don't, for lots of reasons like the above), isn't that better than outright corruption...? At least you can reboot to get rid of a leak. There's no guarantee you can get back corrupted data!
There's at least one more book that features these characters: "А я был в компьютерном городе."

> I used to think 2 space tabs made code harder to read than 4. Now I used 2 spaces and I’ve gotten used to it and can read it fine.

I might be in the minority, but it's an empirically testable proposition. Given the thousands of people taking Python quizzes for toptal, triplebyte, etc., it should be possible to see which version results in a lower time to answer or a higher accuracy rate.
Now there's a hack.
>comes by enabling trading

As of now, trading is mostly gambling with a side show of money laundering. Enabling it puts him on the level of a casino empire. I'm not inherently against gambling, but I also wouldn't consider a person to be a saint for plowing 1% of their casino empire's revenue-- or even most of its profits-- into philanthropy.

Jellyfin and syncthing are two of my favorites.

So for example I keep my passwords in a keepassxc file which is synced between my devices using syncthing. The UX is pretty good and hasn't changed (ie degraded) in the years I've been using it.
To make it even worse, the "flashy+useful end user features" are the very thing that make the OS hard to secure. Nearly all of iMessage exploits stem from parts related to non-text handling. FORCEDENTRY was caused by code related to image handling, for instance. I'm sure if you're willing to cut the scope of the messaging app to only text, it'd be impossible to hack.

I met and became friends with some good and interesting people at a trivia game. I was new the area, and saw a trivia MeetUp (it ended up being the host using it as an advertisement), but when I got there the host suggested I play with a team he knew, and I've been good friends with them going on 5 years.

If you go to a trivia game, look for a team with older players, walk up to them, and let them know you're new and don't have a team, and if you could join them.
I feel that you need to actually try it before dismissing it. I’ve been using VR for HIIT for almost two years now. It can also integrate with your stationary bike or rower. I’ve lost 20 lbs and it helped dropped my cholesterol by 100 point playing VR games.

The only thing absent would be weight lifting. That probably will be integrated with AR and not VR due to safety issues.

You are half right! (I didn't write the text you challenged). But I did misread the OP's comments. He does make that claim. Clearly Joe could pull his content if he wanted.
Twitter is famous for limiting the length of texts, forcing people to boil down the message to its essence and leave nuance behind.

But this is Dan Luu's point exactly. When forced to communicate at scale -- such as public health directive messaging -- there's no choice. Nuance doesn't work, only the simplest, blunt messages "get through".

Fauci, like many others, were concerned about panic-buying of masks. It's not that they don't work at all, they obviously do, and Fauci knew this. However, they don't work anywhere near as effectively in the hands of the untrained public (chin straps! pulling masks aside to sneeze! INCREASED touching of the face to adjust masks!), so it's taking masks away from people that can use them effectively.

Option 1) Tell the full message, mention that masks do work to a degree.

Outcome 1) People panic buy, and the overall effect is to make the pandemic worse because health professionals can't get enough PPE.

Option 2) Straight up tell people not to buy masks.

Outcome 2) People shrug their shoulders, don't buy masks, and the overall outcome is better, especially for the overburdened health system.

Which would you choose?

Nuance -- resulting in dead doctors and nurses, crippling the health system OR the clear but inaccurate statement -- that saves the country?

This is why it cracks me up to see responses precisely like yours, foaming at the mouth in anger.

You're angry at people that did what you would have done, if sitting in their position and faced with the same choices.
Cicero lived 2000 years ago and is still widely considered one of the greatest orators and writers of all time. For the art of rhetoric, it really doesn't get much more authoritative than that.

I know the HN crowd is dismissive of old stuff, because fields like math and science advance fast enough that nobody calls (say) Pythagoras or Archimedes "authoritative", but the art of convincing other humans remains essentially the same.

Even supposedly "unattractive" or "aging" women can start to look more attractive as you get to know them. It's really amazing the transformation that can happen. So much of what is attractive is subjective. It's hard to see that when younger, but it's true. Besides, the attractiveness we associate with youth inevitably fades anyway.

The web left CERN in 1991, so it can't be earlier than that.

The internet was earlier, but there are two other things to remember: in 1971, a computer cost as much as a house, filled a large room, and required a professional operator. The first microprocessors actually came on the market that year and it took time for people to build devices around them or for those devices to hit the mass market. When that happened, you were getting things like text interfaces and keyboards, tiny amounts of storage on cassettes or floppies, etc.

Similarly, in the United States the phone company monopoly and expensive but slow modems meant you were looking at 300bps connectivity tying up an expensive phone line and communicating with someone outside of your immediate area was expensive per-minute charges.

That got better but it really wasn't until the early 90s that GUIs were mainstream and it wasn't until the mid-90s that computer costs had come down enough to make them affordable to the average person. Similarly, modems were pretty slow and limited so the early web was held back by the fact that a lot of people would need 5 minutes to load a web page with a fullscreen 800x600 image.

Demand for the web is what drove a lot of non-techies to buy a computer capable of running something like Windows 95, because they'd heard of things they could do on the web — whether that was educational research, getting software updates without waiting for floppy disks in the mail, following sports, connecting with other people who shared the same hobby, making travel plans, downloading porn, etc. the first web browsers and email clients were driving a lot of people to buy computers so they could use them. ISPs had sprung up all over the country and faster options like DSL and cable modems were game changers for the experience.

This is a start contrast to blockchain technologies which were close to globally available on day one — even in poor countries, there was at least someone with a network-connected PC — but despite a much longer period of time still haven't found much demand because they don't improve the average person's life unless they enjoy speculating on their ability to resell tokens.
Copy of my comment on a now-dead discussion:

A charging port right on the pack is a good idea, you can actually get AA li-ion batteries with usb-c charging (and power step down to 1.5V).[1]
Also nice for these large batteries that you can use them to charge stuff as well. I’ve got a bunch of Hitachi li-ion power tools, almost 10 years old and the charger for that doubles as a usb power source when a battery is installed[2], but it’s nicer to have the output on the battery itself.

V-mount camera batteries often have USB ports for power out as well. These batteries are really nice for robotics projects as they come in a variety of sizes and an extra 5V power supply always comes in handy[3]

So freedom of speech only exists if government is involved? I don't think that's correct.

These artists are attempting to use pressure to silence someone else. That's 100% a "free speech" issue.
Censorship is the suppression of speech. Neither Neil Young nor Joni Mitchell are advocating for this.

‘Extortion’ is a concept in criminal law. Unless Rogan takes them or Spotify to court, it’s entirely moot whether this is extortion - but he would have a tenuous argument, as neither of them have coerced Spotify to do anything.

This isn’t splitting hairs or pedantry. It is simply stating facts. While stating the fact of the matter might not be as trite as the GP of your comment calling it ‘censorship’, it is no less correct.

What you should back up is the playlists, since no matter what you buy, you will never legally own the music. Sometimes it's easier to work around the DRM than other times, but in no case are you supposed to be able to make copies and I find it easier not to try this and keep hundreds of extra gigabytes around when I pay for the service to host this for me already. The music will exist elsewhere as well, from the pirate bay to youtube to other music services to CDs if need be. The playlists are the data they can keep hostage, so I back that up.

When Grooveshark went offline without notice, I was lucky to have some offline songs on Android and some localStorage in the browser (and the skills to retrieve it). I don't want that to happen again, I lost quite a bit of music there, so I back this up now. At first I used a self-made a Spotify API client; later I found another tool to do this with: https://github.com/watsonbox/exportify

Sometimes they won’t but you still want to learn.

In my case we only had 5 sun servers and they were our dns infra. We did not have any additional hardware for test nor were they paying for my aws account. Either I sit around and collect the same paycheck everyday or I spend $10 on a vps to learn in my spare time. End up using the dns solution to host some websites for people. Vps wasn’t powerful enough so I rented a dedicated server for $30 (still have it 13 years later). We started running VMware at work but again no hardware for testing. So I picked up another dedicated server to run my own hyper visor. Then I started selling VPS systems.

That is how I turned a $10 vps my

Sorry to hear all of this.

I would recommend looking at your life the same way you look at your code (presumably you care about the quality of code you write). Try something different and if it does not work then try something else. No one will be handing you what you want on a silver platter and if they did you certainly would not appreciate it ;)

Good luck!
