I think they will eventually ship. Just not soon like DN4. I am not spending a dime on it before then. Even then it may not be a game I am interested in anymore.

I learned my lesson years ago with Chris Roberts games. Do not bother thinking about them until they ship. Strike Commander was my antidote for him. Overpromised, under delivered. He has been trying to make 'privateer' for 2+ decades at this point. He has shipped several iterations at this point 2 priv games and 2 others. This is number 5. That is what is kind of frustrating about it. He can ship games, and has many under his belt. But this one looks like a death march. Drags on much longer and they will have to do yet another engine switch out to keep the 'look' modern and not dated. Which would probably necessitate touching all the assets again.
Just talked to somebody yesterday who had one of these vaccines made for their dog. It actually seemed incredibly affordable compared to other treatments, something like 500-2000 for the formation of the vax.
I agree rights have limits when they conflict with other rights. However the right to work is a right under the UN human rights code. That doesn't mean you have a right to work at any particular place, but it does mean if vaccines are a prerequisite for any kind of work, either by government fiat or by broad corporate consensus, that would be a violation of human rights. Using tests to balance vaccines is one way to address that, but some countries don't even take those considerations and want to blanket mandate vaccines.
Question about LN, if I have funds in a Muun wallet, can I send to a friend with a CASH app wallet? The language makes it sound like we have to be on the same "payment channel" so I would guess the answer is no. But then how are retail checkouts meant to work, should a retailer set themselves up with a muun wallet as well, or is there a way for LN channels to interact?

I've been curious to try these things out for myself but I don't feel like I understand Muun wallet enough (as far as trusting myself not to screw it up)

How Much Land Does a Man Need?
I've noticed a trend across the internet at large that I think stems from the increase in junk information:

People have to be suspicious by default when it comes to information they see or hear online. More so over time. This has lead to the need for people to be increasingly defensive of their own views. There are two knock-on effects of this:

It's easy to click 'reply' without actually replying. When someone leaves a comment, they are trying to say something. When someone responds, they aren't necessarily responding to what the person is saying. Subsequently, people talk past each other, both not feeling heard, both increasingly entrenched in the own views because the other person isn't formulating actual replies to their message. If we perceive someone trying to rebut our ideas, but failing miserably to do so, we become really sure those ideas are good.

It's easy for defensiveness to turn into vitriol, because people tend to have conversations on the internet in a very off-the-cuff fashion, which doesn't lend itself to deep, considered, reasoning. It's very easy to miss, and subsequently ignore, holes in our arguments as we make them, and our suspicion prevents us from reconsidering them in the moment.

The "woke content" just lumps everybody in one big pile, categorizes everyone in order to validate a theory:

After living here for 15 years, I have realized the main narrative of the "black experience" "what is means to be black" is very Anglo-US-centric.

In college, I met a Jamaican guy, the culture shock was just as intense as when I met that girl from mongolia. Totally different cultures and customs. But on paper, in the USA , Me and that Jamaican guy were just Black.

I had more in common with the White French exchange student than with the Black-American kid from Virginia.
To me: that black American kid and a white American kid were the same.

From an academical, political standpoint, Black has become synonymous with "African-American" Not just any "African-American", poor disenfranchised black Americans who are likely from the "ghetto". White means: some mean monster , who are controlling the world and are out to get everybody. So naturally I started to second guess how people acted around me.

Don't get me wrong racism is still alive and well I have experienced it in various forms:

* Prepaid for a meal at a fancy restaurant, the people before me just gave a name and grabbed their food, I was asked to show a receipt.

* Jogging in my neighborhood and having the police follow me around, almost like clockwork can't be a coincidence. (They became cool once they learned I lived there).

* Going out with my white coworkers in casual clothing vs going out with my siblings in casual clothing we have to dress extra fancy to get treated the same, otherwise we get poor service - The black guilt to tip extra at restaurants)

But: Most of the white people I've met were amazing, great people.
That mean guy, is probably a jerk to everyone and just happens to be white.

There needs to be a balance, raise awareness about issues of society, but don't go to the extreme.

I'm similarly wary. But Apple and Google have been bad stewards of their market power. If the only thing protecting our rights is Cupertino's goodwill, perhaps that's an orthogonal issue for lawmakers to take up (and citizens to lobby for).
So the floor heat system is somewhat unusual. Details are:

- The house is 5x7m. The heated area is about 2.5x7m

- There is no concrete base. The system [1] I used was designed to receive concrete, but I decided against it.

- The floor heats up in about 30 minutes, but the water temperature is substantially higher than normal (because lack of thermal conductivity due to lack of concrete)

- The flooring is large plywood sheets[2]. Surface temperature is variable, 23-26deg.

- The heating is provided by a wood-burning 'bailarina' [3] [4] [5]

- There is no heat exchanger. The hot water that goes under the floor is the same as the hot water that comes out the tap. Not drinking the hot water is kinda normal for europeans though. The pipes may clog up with sediment in 5-10 years, but they are not concreted in so I'm not too bothered.

It may seem like there are some odd choices there. My priority was simplicity and being able to easily change things in the future.

Edit: clarity

Edit 2: If I was to do it again with more time and patience, I would pour in sand. It has about the same thermal properties of concrete, and is way less permanent.

I read somewhere yesterday that the city council approved the plan. For the shipbuilder to build the ship, it would need the city council approval dues to sizing concerns. And somehow the city council approved it, even the council is aware of dismantling the bridge temporary. So I am not sure whose fault for allowing this. So it seems that it is the city council that approved this plan. So the investigation should be looking into those council for allowing this to happen in the first place.
My relatives are in a similar situation -- only satellite available in their area, so ~800ms latency and speeds around 1 MBps, but half a mile away there is literally fiber available, so it's going to be a long time before it gets opened up for them because they aren't considered to be in an underserved area.

It sounds like you just don't understand the statement. It's not a binary assessment, it's an observation: if you set your bar too high, you simply may never get there and have nothing to show for it, thus by "lowering the bar" you may actually deliver a better product (you know, because it actually got delivered, and not canceled).
We write blogs to communicate ideas, but most people spend their lives in conversations.

As a software engineer, I wanted to go back and re-learn primitives and first principles of computer science. Instead of writing a post about "What is a computer?", I thought this conversation could be much more effective for me and others to think about this question differently. Plus, revising primitives always helps you strengthen and build on your current knowledge.

This post was heavily inspired by the work of Kirk Ouimet.

my post was on cost basis. not much. other commenter says 200 rupees which is fine but its the same as netflix.

my point is, if we are doing apples and apples comparison, old free signal competed with whatsapp/telegram. now, it is competing with netflix and prime in terms of cost because whatsapp/telegram is not paid for now.

my point is, if you are paying, why not go all the way and support matrix? signal is pretty hostile towards foss ideology and building your own servers, clients and such. the idea was "diluting the brand" but now its apparent. they wanted the signal brand to remain with the official services only because then they can charge for it.

can't you pay for matrix https://element.io/personal-plans if you do not plan to deal with the hassle of selfhosting which imo many people enjoy.

i understand the network effect of signal/whatsapp/telegram because the whole number directory thing but other than that, what does it have "better" than matrix? assuming tomorrow ALL your friends and their friends of friends use matrix instead of signal, would you feel the difference?

i am not shilling for matrix in particular. this just seems to be the better free software (foss) alternative to signal shenanigans and their disdain towards foss ideology

Okay. Let's break this down.

You have the word "master". It has at least two meanings in standard English and an additional one for technical jargon. Let's call these concepts owner/slave, expert/apprentice, and primary/secondary.

Even though owner/slave and primary/secondary are different concepts, the technical jargon makes the unfortunate reference the owner/slave meaning because of the use of the word "slave". It's difficult to defense the use of master/slave in this context.

The master in the expert/apprentice concept could be called leader, expert, or teacher and no one would have a problem with that.

This distinction is where people start getting upset.

I'd argue most technical people didn't even give a second thought to master/slave and for them they never considered it to be anything other than primary/secondary because owner/slave is no longer common use and hasn't been for a while. Besides, US Civil War was more than 150 years ago! Who gives a shit?

Well... people do because the effects of that war still affect our society and no one agrees on how to fix it. Removing problematic phrasing from our language as part of that makes sense. No one agrees on that either.
He's right, they're wrong, and the conversation was on track to be a waste of time. I'm impressed by how this was handled.
Optimism to me is noticing that you can contribute to fixing all the painpoints you encounter, and can optionally monetize all those fixes such that if you care about money the market is saying this is the only thing to focus on. The barrier to entry is in many ways lower than trying to do the same as a Web 2 style SaaS product, because the infrastructure demands are lower and the funnel is basically 1 step, as every interaction in this space already is a transaction.

For example, the article spends a lot of time on OpenSea and how their wallet was using the OpenSea API, to bolster their "hey that doesn't match the ideal from proponents" crux of the article. What do you think the people that built OpenSea did when they decided to build OpenSea? So build another OpenSea, or submit a pull request to the wallet to render NFTs differently, use your own node, make a better node software, make an infura competitor which is a CDN of nodes, improve the build tools.... any part of the stack is up for grabs.

Thats what permissionless is. Pretty easy to get traction for any variant you release because there is immediate utility from it from other people looking for painpoints improved upon.

There are plenty of developer blog posts from people doing those specific things, they're just not posted on HN or moving up very high often. We could post conversations in github issues, or pull requests all day here. Easily shift the discussion. It's out of character that the HN audience as an aggregate only considers a few parts to make a conclusion on this specific topic.

I really enjoyed using Symfony for a lot of years.

FWIW, I have found HN comments and submissions tend to ebb and flow. There are times when I feel the quality goes downhill, but then 3, 6, maybe 12 months later it seems like things get back on track. I'm unsure of the cause, possibly dang and co. are tweaking knobs in the background?
It's different because I identify and agree with the virtue signaling of holier-than-thou social climbers who claim to do journalism. Their views represent mine, and since I am mostly without purpose or depth, I don't make petty distinctions about the definition of journalism: I only want them to validate my position that everyone I do not like is <insert adjective here> and incapable of critical thinking. The irony of this position is totally lost on me.

> In Texas, by contrast, few appear to be new and well maintained, while many look quite heavily used.

That is pretty interesting. A few weeks ago, there was a thread here on HN talking about the Port of Long Beach backlog and a comment mentioning the scarcity of trucks with the clean idle certification.

At about the same time, I took a road trip along the Interstate - Illinois, Indiana, Ohio - and paid attention to the trucks. Somewhere around 90% of them had the "California Clean Idle" sticker on them - and none of them had California plates. Even on trucks with Ontario plates (you see a lot of Canadian trucks in the upper midwest).

My best explanation is that the long-haul routes crisscrossing North America have all the newest, cleanest, most modern vehicles and once they reach a certain age they are sold into the places where they don't drive long distances anymore.
In the US, there's a trailer length limit and a limit for the entire consist.[1] Those are separate limits, and the difference between the two allows for a rather large tractor. That's something truck drivers lobbied for. If the limit for the entire length is the main constraint, there's economic pressure to have as much trailer length and as little cab space as possible.

- Elevated rates of HGT in the industrialized human microbiome. Transferred gene functionality reflect the lifestyle of their hosts[0]

- HGT from bacteria and plants to mycorrhizal fungi. These genes are functional[1]

- More about fungi sharing genes[2][3]

- Lab experiment showing HGT can act as a directional evolutionary force in bacteria adapting to antibiotics[4]

- A species of fungi used HGT (mostly from bacteria and some from eukaryotes) in order to adapt to colonize apple trees[5]

- A call for a replacement of neo-Darwinism with a new evolutionary synthesis that takes into account the role of HGT (among other things)[6]

Ok, so I didn't save the actual paper I was paraphrasing. I thought I'd read it in Annual Reviews, but I can't seem to find it. However, I hope I provided enough sources to show that: (1) fungi often share genes across phylums, (2) we have clear examples of elevated rates of HGT in microbiota faced with a new environment, and (3) HGT can play a critical role in adaptation

Yes: the higher your rate, the more interesting the work you're likely to get, because higher rates filter the most tedious clients. Routine security work from big companies gets bid through procurement departments that won't pay high rates, so if a big company is paying the market rate for cryptography work, there's a really good chance the group paying for it really knows what they're doing and why they're engaging you.
