Subtle.
There's a natural cause and effect relationship between meaningless internet points as a status symbol and banthirsty behavior. HN is one of the few places where people can have points without the resulting anti-social behavior. I believe the secret sauce is on HN you can't know at a glance I have 13865 karma right now.

yep, that's what Cross-Origin Resource Policy (CORP) for.
It is designed to seal the last loop hole in same-origin policy. (img and scripts don't require cors at all)
But there is a big gotcha, the old browser that don't know about it simply don't care. So it isn't strictly useful for now.

With an exchange, your counterparty is the exchange.
It's simply not their job.

Research is the quest for new knowledge.

Engineering is the application of existing knowledge in creative and unique ways.

Being a good professor/researcher doesn't necessarily mean you are a good engineer.

Just like an architect may be good at conceptualizing a building --- but they will typically hire an engineer (often legally required) if they need to make sure the building can withstand a hurricane or an earthquake.
While I've generally been pretty good at picking up things by just doing them I was always a just ok student. Later in life when I wanted to start learning some things outside of work I took the coursera course "learning how to learn" and found it very helpful. It has the strategies above plus others. You can find links to the course as well as books by the instructor on her website - https://barbaraoakley.com/

Specifically though I use different methods for different materials. For some specific things I need to memorize verbatim I use hand written index cards/spaced repetition. For learning math, programming, etc there is no substitute for doing example problems with solutions you can check. For general reading I write my own summaries, notes.
Social media isn't about making a website - non technical people can already do that with services like squarespace and carrd. The point is to be able to communicate with other people in various ways over the Internet.
Not really, China also added their own crypto extensions to x86 chips, though under AMD/VIA's license.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony/Microsoft did too for their consoles.

It's doable if you have enough money to get AMD or VIA to make you a one-off.
There have also been a few projects to boot the ARM version of Windows on various Android phones, no VM involved. None of them really have good enough driver support to use as a daily driver though.

Bitcoin has a system built on top of it called Lightning, which allows for millions of cheap transactions per second inside of payment channels. Only the opening and closing of channels requires a transaction on the blockchain.
if it's a book, then I note down key points after every chapter. if it's a video course I just passively listen everything then take a practice test, then see where I am struggling then rewatch those videos (problem is that lot of times videos are NOT worth taking notes and you only realize after the end whether video was worth it or not, so it kills me to be taking notes continuously)

best combo I found was text to speech feature of online textbook, I'd listen to it and if I found anything even remotely important I'd stop the recitation and copy the text in notepad or something, and by the end id have compilation of important notes. The act of highlighting/copying/pasting was enough to form a good memory.
>> tech companies in general should be doing significantly more to protect their engineers' time, and the ones that get good at this are going to have outsized impact

I have just watched history of The Secret of Monkey Island (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F9ahZQ7oP0). What struck me was how relatively cheap it was (if I remember correctly it costed 130000$ and main team was only 3 people). I now that it was a different time, but even if You take the inflation (of money and requirements) into consideration its still a miracle.

And one of the reasons given for this project success was that Schafer and the rest was left alone to do their thing - I would not say they were protected, but at least nobody important enough paid attention to them to start messing with their creative process.

This is somehow consistent with my general observation - that in knowledge based work only small subset of people do the real work.
> Nuclear is proven and proven at massive scale, its proven massive industrial nation can transition to almost 100% nuclear and can do so within a few decades.

France is part of the Synchronous grid of Continental Europe and thus can run their nuclear generators at 100% capacity all the time because the other countries around them use lower fixed cost/higher marginal cost energy sources. An entire electrical grid powered by nuclear energy would be far more expensive to run.

> The method that you advocate where you overbuild massive amounts of unsolved issues and it not even proven on a medium scale. And in the cost calculation sited don't account for the problem all in from production to distribution.

What is unproven about it? Wind/solar/methane power/storage is all done on a massive scale already. The only unproven part is the methane production but when you consider nuclear is 3x expensive for base and likely 6x expensive for peak, nuclear makes no sense.

For most people, gambling isn't a financial decision, it's an entertainment decision. The value of thinking about winning (regardless of how unlikely it is) is worth the $1 cost of a lottery ticket, so labelling gambling a "stupid financial decision" is like labelling owning a TV while poor a "stupid financial decision"... but poor people deserve entertainment as much as rich people.

> It’s also fair that in a multi-server federated model, users naturally tend to sign up on the most prominent server(s) (e.g. the matrix.org homeserver in the case of Matrix). In practice, the matrix.org homeserver currently makes up about 35% of the visible Matrix network by active users.

they explain how they are working to counter the effect:

Combined with nomadic accounts, this would let us eventually turn off the matrix.org server entirely and eliminate the pseudo-centralisation effect - the default ‘server’ would be the one running on your client.

You are still moving the goalposts.

My statement is pretty simple: ethical people exist.

You countered with "Everyone’s ethics have a price tag. It’s better not to pretend otherwise, since it clarifies a lot of human behavior."

And have been moving the goalposts ever since. The fact that unethical people exist was never up for debate.
> personally I can't support a website where its admins let the website be moderated by very questionable individuals, sex offenders when there are minors on their websites

Is there any other social media website where you can even pseudonymously track who is moderating? Besides independent forums, Reddit is the only one I know of where it’s even possible to evaluate the individuals moderating to any degree.
Subreddit-level censorship is a different issue than global bans. Subreddit bans don't have any bearing on global site bans, and subreddit moderators can't shadow ban content (only remove, lock, add flair, or mark as spam for the global spam filter). If OP is globally banned, they've either run afoul of the global spam filter (possible to trip if enough mods mark your submissions as spam, but as a mod that has collaborated with mods from other subs to deal with corporate astroturfers - the threshold to get a ban this was seems pretty high if there's a human generating posts rather than a bot) or some other global abuse detection system.
I used Obsidian for a few months and ran into the same issues. One task I set for it was organizing the worldbuilding, plotting and characters for a novel outline. It was excellent for this, and for a Node.js app it's amazingly light and has a great community.

Where it really failed for me was the mobile experience. All I can say is that I kept getting lost in it. This was occasionally a problem on the desktop as well, but on mobile I too often simply could not make my way up to an overview level. This may very well be a problem with me, not the app, but it was enough to kill my interest in it.

I'm back to my ever-growing "brain.md" file at work and (horribly organized) Apple Notes for personal use.
>Everyone knows they have an addiction but without collective action the spell can't be broken.

Sorry, but it's literally as simple as closing the tab. I stopped using Facebook on a regular basis in 2019 by uninstalling the app from my phone as well as just not logging on from the desktop. I never found it so addicting that I couldn't go without it for awhile.
Don't kid yourself. Bitcoin does not have any place as a real currency (at least for legal purchases) - it is solely a speculative asset. People buy cryptocurrencies in hopes it will become worth more USD, or to buy drugs.
This. The ability to reach people from very specific demographics and behavioral segments is something every politician from all sides want. That's why they will always complain and promise regulations, but will never really do something - it's against their best interests.
Ah... OK, well, I'm not going to mess with that in the near future (sorry) :(. If it makes you feel any better (or worse!! ;P) my personal website didn't support SSL at all until this past week.

Old timers remember when "compiling open source C code to this other platform" was a real chore. Ever run the old school GNU configure and watched the giant stream of compatibility tests for weird architectures that go by? It's for a reason, one nearly forgotten in our current amd64 monoculture.

The good news is even if the CPU is weird the C compiler is likely to be clang and the OS is likely to be some Linux/glibc variant. A lot of the old porting challenges had to do with OS and compiler differences.
It might not be lavish in terms of architecture or decorations, but merely in terms of grave goods. Of course, a picture of the tomb itself would also make that clear.

What? Their official client literally supports multiple accounts.
Thinking back to my experiences at smaller companies this might make sense given a lot of product (and engineering) work was just picking low hanging fruit. At a larger company now both product and engineering work seems to require “deeper” effort such that I’m less inclined to think I could do what product does nor do I want to spend the bandwidth.

You can build something without necessarily trying to sell it. You don't need a company for engineering.

>> Checked C isn’t C.

According to the paper, it is:

"Checked C is backward compatible with legacy C in the sense that all legacy code will type-check and compile. However, only code that appears in checked regions, which we call checked code, is spatially safe. Checked regions can be
designated at the level of files, functions, or individual code blocks, the first with a #pragma and the latter two using the checked keyword. Within checked regions, both legacy pointers and certain unsafe idioms (e.g., variadic function
calls) are disallowed."

>> I’ve yet to see a convincing reason to use it instead of, say, Go. Or Rust, if you want real safety.

What if you have a legacy codebase with hundreds of thousands of lines of C you want to maintain and improve?

What if Go, Rust, etc. are not supported on your target platform?
Did you misread my comment?

Of course these things aren't opposites. Writing a business plan can be incredibly valuable to the author but forcing themselves to really think though their words and formalize the ideas that are floating around in their head. That doesn't mean that it is valuable to investors or anyone else.

I wonder if websockets "accidentally" circumvented HTTP2's head-of-line blocking problem and therefore appeared to have better latency:

SSE streams are multiplexed into a HTTP2 stream, so they can suffer from congestion issues caused by unrelated requests.

In contrast, HTTP2 does not support websockets, so each websocket connection always has its own TCP connection. Wasteful, but ensures that no head-of-line blocking can occur.

So it might be that switching from SSE to websockets gave better latency behaviour, even though it had nothing to do with the actual technologies.

Of course, this issue should be solved anyway with HTTP3.
> They are making society worse not better.

Perhaps a component of this perception is that these technologies are exposing a rotten tree stump that was already there. You only think it's making things worse because you couldn't see it was already bad.

But only part of it. The mental destruction out there is real.
So it has a proven use case, that will never go away: illegal purchases.

I had the same situation with an older 11 year account. I honestly wasn't too bothered apart from losing the links and comments I had saved.

I was innactive for a while before the suspension. My only guess is that the account had some market value due to age/karma and was hacked (weak password). And someone posted something that would lead to the suspension.

But I agree with other comments that reddit is definitely trying to sanitize accounts that might not look good for corporate.

Most don't learn three (and a half) languages by age 11 and use all three often. When I speak any of the three, locals think Im a native speaker and readily spot in what region I learned the language (if they’re good, the town). In any of the three I can also spot where the speaker is from and I can pronounce all the subtle sounds that give foreigners away. Sounds that even natives cant pronounce since they are not universally present in regional dialects.

Anyway, I didn't answer the question because what’s the point? I wouldn't live in Germany, or in Latvia, or in Spain, or in Greece for the reasons stated: restrictions on speech, blasphemy laws, anti-apologia of tyranny laws (commie or facist), laws effectively criminalizing self-defence. I also enjoy the self reliance of Americans; yes its exaggerated, but its more than Europeans anyway.

> Why do I have to pay more fees to swap tokens on decentralised exchanges making them unusable

Wait for ETH 2.0. It's a really difficult problem to solve. In the meantime though, use Polygon (or other side chains). Swap tokens for a cent or two.

> how exactly is DeFi decentralised

Take a protocol like app.uniswap.org or pooltogether.com. If you have an internet connection, no one can stop you from using these protocols (and many other protocols). No arbitrary rules imposed by governments or companies. Your funds are your funds, there are no arbiters (just tens of thousands of Ethereum nodes which are responsible for settling transactions).

> What is the process of getting your money back from a hacked DeFi project?

Use protocols that have been around for a long time and have hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions of dollars locked in. That decreases chances of you losing funds. But it is a problem, I agree, hopefully somehow we will make it better.
Interesting: I knew a guy that came into a lot of money. A serious lot. And he found that he had a whole entourage of new friends. Fancy house, gurus, admirers, tons of interesting investment proposals most of which he accepted. And when he died and the accounts were made up it was all gone. Everything. Not a single person around him that did not in some way take advantage of him. I still have a hard time getting around people not being able to deal with their money, especially because in this case it was quite hard earned. Some of the hangers on still haven't recovered from the fact that their 'source of funds' has dried up.
