Please stop using "crypto" and "fiat" as if they were opposites. "Crypto" is just as "fiat" as any Royal Mint; it's just that the fiat-ers[1] are different people. They just want to muscle in on the "make the tokens that everyone else's transactions are counted in" business niche, because they reckon the makers can always somehow skim a bit off the top.

[1]: lit. "makers": "Fiat" is Latin for "let there be made", a form of the verb "to make". It's a cognate of modern French "faire", Italian "fare", etc. (Related words are "fact" and "factory".)

Compute going carbon neutral is largely the same as the electric grid going carbon neutral. So IMO, it’s not worth focusing on specifically in the long term.

Something about environmental problems causes people to focus on vary narrow types of harm rather than the major ones like habitat destruction. Domestic cats kill ~5 orders of magnitude more birds than windmills, yet somehow bird strikes of windmills is in the public continuous. I think it comes down to the inability to really grasp the difference between large numbers combined with specific harms used as distractions.
Can I give you 100 upvotes? I can’t find the button for that.

It’s one thing to start with a suspect and check DNA. It’s another thing entirely to start by matching DNA to whoever and then start investing those people.

People often forget how horribly damaging an investigation is for the subject, even when it finally concludes with “oops, never mind.”
Isn't it ironic how the author is critical of HN in a post about being too critical?
The second one is very much about disingenuous people (and their dealings), it's from a WaPo piece headlined Deshaun Watson is taking a stand against disingenuous NFL owners. It could change the league.

Just like 'shut your lying mouth' is, in fact, calling someone a liar and not merely an observation about some independent attribute of their piehole.
Weirdly, I feel like there's an Anti-Apple stigma by engineering types in my circles.

There's 2 main Android users in my circles:

Engineers under 50 and people over 50 that hate or dislike Apple.

Engineers that have to use Solidworks/CAD workflows that don't exist on Mac (and wish they could).

I use iMessage + Signal for secure messaging between groups, which resolves the "green bubble" issue and preserves security. I don't get any other arguments re: group chat with Android users.

I also don't get buying Android devices at this point given that OS updates/device longevity is shorter, and iOS has basically hit feature parity with Android.

I originally only switched when no one would make a Droid Razr M-sized phone but Apple anymore (iPhone SE), and found the whole Mac/iPhone/iMessage/AirDrop/etc. ecosystem just more pleasant to deal with and considerably more reliable, consistent, and most importantly less expensive.
I don't know if you're just having a bad day or something but the comment you're referring to is pretty aggro.
I think you are using a very technical definition of "final". Both the purpose and the real-world effect of the fork was to make an apparently final transaction no longer final. That it is still "final" in at best a distraction to the general-audience meaning of "final".

I estimate the probability of a similar Bitcoin action to be small, but much larger than the "miner gets really, really, really lucky" scenario you propose. Do you disagree?
There was probably quite a project and initiative to come up with this. Likely some (non-tech) team's big goal for the year..
Since this might catch the eye of someone knowledgeable …

Does anyone know if the community docker images for airflow can be run using podman?
Doesn't cloudfare do this? (extremely extensively imo - just about every single click is a captcha of some type sometimes)
As much as HN despises blockchains because of crypto, (no, that's not the only use of that tech) it does seem like verification of websites could be a decentralized consensus - along with DNS as well -and user verification could be a portion of the consensus of website quality.
This could even help with making self hosted search engines more accessable
I'd expect people to have the camera on in a discussion they are actively participating in. If it's an all hands meeting or something I don't think it's fair to make people sit there on camera.

Edit: I guess I should add though, I have never encountered a problem with the former situation, ie never been in a small discussion where anything is weird or we miss something because someone's camera is off. I have been in the latter situation, where people were told they have to sit and watch hours of administrative or "vision" type presentations and keep their camera on.
What happened to Clubhouse? I just realized it was quite popular but now I haven't heard about it in a while. Can you link to a postmortem?
> I am seriously considering switching to iPhone, if only to appear more professional.

Are you implying that working professionals have stigma against Android users? Then they are naive. There were reports of teenagers acting differently, but if working professionals still act that way, then maybe just ignore them. The Android vs iOS debate is never ending, so it would make more sense to pick one based on your needs rather than other's naive perceptions.
If plant "meat" can be as tasty as McPlants I am in no need of ever eating meat again. Just wish I could buy McPlant steaks and burgers at the supermarket -they are so yummy!

So in essence I think that plant meat will replace meat, no need to "cultivate" it
This is sort of true. You are correct that we know that at least some neutrinos have mass because they are observed to oscillate between flavors. But the argument is a bit more subtle than it simply being a consequence of the fact that massless particles don't experience proper time.

As a sort of counterexample, photons can have circular polarization. But if you measure the linear polarization of a photon in two locations, you may find that it is polarized up and down at one point, but polarized left and right at the other. Does this imply that the photon has mass because its polarization has changed as it propagated? No. It just means that the axis of polarization you measured doesn't line up with the way that the polarization gets propagated.

There's a very similar thing going on with neutrinos. When we measure a neutrino, it collapses into a particular eigenstate with a specific mass. But when the neutrino propagates, it propagates as a mixture that oscillates between the various eigenstates, a little like how a photon propagates with circular polarization.

It turns out that the frequency of these oscillations depends on two things: a parameter that measures the strength of this mixing, and the difference between the squares of the masses of the eigenstates. Since the frequency of oscillations is nonzero this means that the difference between the masses has to be nonzero, which means that at least one neutrino flavor has to have mass. But even if neutrinos had no oscillations this doesn't mean that they are massless --- they could equally well have a mixing coefficient of zero, or just have equal, but nonzero masses.
The country needs a viable 3rd party.

With a 3rd party, cooperation becomes just as important (if not more so) than conflict.
The question title is different than the post.

Should you turn your camera on?

It’s up to you. Generally I think people like to see that each other’s expressions.

Should you stipulate someone else turn their camera on?

Etiquette not withstanding, only if you made it a requirement in the job description.
I will continue to give them a chance. They have proven in the past to be reliable and even though once, the hardware I was on was physically damaged and a lot of data lost, there support has been rock solid the whole time.

We can only produce neutrinos as pure flavor states. These are all mixtures of the mass states.
Gay is not binary, you can be on a spectrum. Now, the following is conjecture, but I'd assume that slightly gay republicans are far less likely to try a homosexual relationship, especially when compared to those on the liberal side. I'm also pretty sure that mostly gay republicans are far more likely to not be openly gay or to have switched their political orientation due to receiving contempt and no support.

Sure, there are openly gay republicans and I don't want to ruin their chance to find love, but I'm very sure that people that are both openly gay and openly republican are quite rare. To make matters worse, to like the idea of a dating app specifically for your political orientation, you'll most likely need to be quite invested in it - someone moderate to slightly right will not be particularly pulled by this concept. And openly gay die-hard republicans are even rarer.

Lastly, there's also a deterrent effect. I'm not saying that republicans are necessarily homophobic, but I'm pretty sure that quite a bunch are at least not thrilled by the concept. If the app provides gay dating and therefore implicitly promotes it, it might drive away some of it's core demographic and, given that they're niche as-is, this might not be worth the tradeoff, especially when accounting for network effects.

Uh… no. PCI-E bus is about 900ns on each end, switch adds 300ns. You can get under 3us ping pong, you’re off by orders of magnitude.

Your sense is probably coming from bad OS stacks. Kernel bypass like Amazon uses achieves this easily.
Having come of age professionally in the Mozilla era, everything the Internet has become since then is the worst case scenario we all saw coming.

Once commercialization of personal information and site tracking became a norm, it has been downhill since then. I don't begrudge making money from the internet. It's the commoditization of user data that has corrupted everything.

However, it is encouraging to see the responses here. Perhaps the tide changes to something more equitable in terms of network value. Hopefully, something that rewards people and companies for their contributions to the network (content, inventions, knowledge, etc.) rather than mining their clicks.
One of my favorite innovations from sekigon-gonnoc is his BLE Micro Pro, which brings a Pro Micro compatible nrf52840-based board that brings wireless BLE capability to QMK keyboards. Newer projects like ZMK have taken over that space, but this was very cool a few years ago when few other solutions were availabe.

I can't tell if this is a meta joke or this guy is serious
The difference is whether the market is ultimately driven by people who want to own things or who want to flip things. It's not black and white, but I bet <1% of people who bought Beanie Babies wanted to own Beanie Babies, and at least 50% of people who buy collectible Pokémon cards (or baseball cards, or comic books) actually want to own them. For the people who actually like Beanie Babies, the market for them isn't terrible, it's wonderful. They can afford everything they want.

A market of flippers (like Beanie Babies) has to terminate at bagholders. While you can also lose your shirt in a collectors' market, it's because they're driven by the tastes and disposable income of those top-level collectors. They tend to shift from area to area based on particular books, articles, or even influential threads on message boards, and those markets move as a whole with wealth inequality and against interest rates, like fine art.
It seems to me that, if you don't like the current situation, work to get rid of first-past-the-post voting in your state. If that happens, the current two parties will have to either transform themselves or become swamped by a new "Center Party".
I don't know if this has changed, but the lack of a contextual back button on Apple phones made it feel like I was driving a stick shift car. Otherwise I think their phones are really nice.
No, the oscillations only depend on the difference between the squares of the masses. The fact that oscillations between the different flavors is observed just implies that the differences between the masses are all nonzero.
We upheld every promise we made to Ukraine. This may not be a polite thing to say, but Ukraine is not valuable enough to risk any sort of war with a country like Russia, nuclear OR conventional.
Lorinda helped me massively with my attempts to bring back online some hardware that had escaped early 90s Bell Labs so that, as a pre-teenager trapped in rural Illinois, I could run Plan 9 and build some software for it. She did not stop at connecting me to the right people to locate the hardware I needed to restore my computer to the living. She also went above and beyond by introducing me to individuals whom I did not deserve to talk with nor did I appreciate how lucky I was to be sharing e-mails with these people at the age of 12. These unlucky (former) Labs employees included both Rob Pike and Ken Thompson.

Lorinda, thank you for taking such extensive efforts to encourage my passion and interest in obscure operating systems. I have not lost my drive to explore this area of computing. My only wish is that I had sent you more than one of the coffee cakes from Morton, IL that you loved and said made us even. Hopefully, wherever you are now, you can have as much coffee cake as possible. Thank you again, truly.
If anything, the GP feels unpleasant for trying to present its parent comment in the worst possible light, in an overly snarky tone.
Check out spot instances. An example of how much more competitive and rapidly scaleable aws and friends are vs the old model.
How long ago and how much money - because I'm speaking of recently... I think things have changed over the last 10 years and I don't really see anyone who is like what you're talking about. If you're talking about someone who managed to get into a 6-figure job - not really a significant talking point. I'm speaking more of fatFIRE type money - which is common among people here and that is downplayed quite often.

I've really not met anyone under 30 in the last 7 years who fits anything near what you're speaking of. Almost everyone is from an affluent background. About half of my colleagues went to Ivy Leagues or adjacent. It's not very common to see people here who are from poverty and are young. Maybe it's more common among the 50+ crowd where it was more plausible to make your way here with little money (when your average 1000sqft home wasn't $2m+) - but it's basically unseen among the young here.

Again - I'm one of these people you're speaking of. So, it's not really like I don't exist but I've yet to meet someone like myself here. (And, I'll admit - I mostly speak to people in tech who are under 40 and are currently living here)
Yes, I take issue with people accusing doctors of crimes on the basis of hearsay, especially to promote their own products.
Sounds like a portmanteau of meta and inmates.
I am wondering about this issue in regards to working professionals, yes.

Similar to how a good outfit or nice watch comes across as professional.
What misinformation have you been convinced of because you saw a targeted advertisement? Or a slightly different version: What views do you hold that originated from a targeted ad?

Or for some more specific examples:
In elections, do you start out looking to elect one candidate and then you see a targeted ad and you change your vote because of it?

For COVID vaccines, did you start off with a stance and then you see a targeted ad and you change your stance because of that ad?
Yes, sure, motherboards and CPUs have far less choices. But generally plenty for any normal use case. Motherboards and CPUs have a crazy number of flavors, none of which matter one whit for normal use cases. It's so bad motherboards are differentiating on the manliness of the heat sink design, lighting options, and the color of the motherboard.
If it helps,there's an extension called ublacklist that you can blacklist results. I use this to permanently blacklist those sites with garbage.
Tools like prefect.io, IMHO, are just this. A 'modular' Airflow where you can pick and choose to use the just the DAG with no GUI, workflow GUI, scheduling, runners of all types from local to k8s.
Yeah now that I think about it, it's going to be hard to generalise because experience will depend on the type of issues. Ok, here goes for me:

Limit increases: looked automated?, person might get involved if automation can't approve.

Stuff outside the control plane (e.g. how do I install nginx on this?): - no idea, never asked those questions, don't expect they'd hold your hand much unless you're spending a lot. Maybe they'll send you a link.

Something broken with AWS in general: usually not timely responses but path here is to use PHD (personal health dashboard).

Something broken with AWS in my account: occasionally stuff inside AWS gets "stuck". I've had issues with CloudFormation, CloudFront, Custom Domain Names and ACM certs - when I was creating / destroying these things lots of times in integration tests. I generally got timely response for these and eventually the issue stopped happening.
Total Households:
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TTLHH

Total Housing Units:
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/ETOTALUSQ176N

Divide one by the other to get housing units per household. You can see ratio in 2020 is roughly the same as 2000.

You have to consider multifamily construction too (which can include SFH-like duplexes, or full apartment buildings). Housing is fungible to a certain extent. If rents fall, that will reduce demand for purchasing and vice versa.

Completions is a backwards looking metric. Look at pipeline, not completions to predict forward trajectory. Housing in pipeline now matches the 2000s peak, and looks to surpass the 70s peak within a few months
Nice sounds like a rugged and lovely area.
Flagged comments can be read and even linked to, if users set the special 'showdead' option. (If you don't want to link to a comment and give them exposure, just pointing to a broader discussion would be enough to do the trick.) Then again, it's kinda weird to evaluate HN by looking at content that only the worst trolls post to the site, and that disappears basically within minutes.
This comes up over and over. It's great. But, the 75% of useful content comes after 25% of diving way too deep into the details of the electrical engineering.

"Every programmer" should know the orders of magnitude of cache hierarchy latencies, how RAM loads a whole cache line to service that single byte you requested, roughly how the automatic prefetcher thinks, that MESI and NUMA access are a growing issue, that the TLB cache is a thing, and generally how the memory controller is the interface between the CPU and pretty much everything else --like the NIC, HD and GPU.

"Every programmer" does not need to know about DRAM discharge timing, row selection and refresh cycles.

Understanding quad-pumped bus frequencies and CAS latencies is great when you are building systems. But, it's not something you think about when designing data structures and algos.
Isn't the main selling point of airflow the bundling in the first place? Why would you want many different specialized tools to manage scheduled tasks?
My Android phone -- Samsung entering the end of it's support life -- started popping up ads, annoyingly when I launch Maps. Driving is the /worst/ time to see ads.

They're trying to get me to use some crappy Samsung service.

Between that, GSuite/free, and all the other Googly debacles, my next phone will be an iPhone.

Don't feel too bad. You're still young.

I'd originally written a long post here, but it was a little too identifiable, so let me just suggest:

1. "Hi, I'm $NAME" goes a long way.

2. So does "hey, anybody want to grab lunch later?"

3. If you cook, "hey, I'm making $WHATEVER" is also a good one.

4. If possible, try a living situation with roommates. It won't solve everything, but it helps a little.

5. People in real life tend to be better than they are on the Internet.
They could recruit more users to their paid version, Youtube Premium. Also, their sister app Youtube Music does compete with other audio apps like Spotify. They have the advantage of showing videos, but that advantage is heavily marred by the terrible UI of their player.

I have an incredibly hard time imagining a 10-20 point drop in credit score (which is a typical drop that closing an account on an otherwise healthy creditor would cause) causing such effects. For years my credit score fluctuated between 790-820 depending on how many accounts I open/close at any given time and the outstanding balance, and nobody cared at all. Always got the best interest rates available on the market.

I’m sure you are in absolutely good faith, but I just don’t believe the correlation is as you imply. Are you sure you just didn’t get hit by the inflation we are all experiencing?
> scalable fusion or FSD in being "just a few years away."

Even though I've seen it plenty of times before, it took me way to long to remember the acronym because I'm exhausted. For anybody else in my position: FSD stands for Full Self Driving.
Even though I don't know McPlant it looks like other veggie patties and I fully agree. They fully replaced meat patties for me. Do they taste like meat, no, but who cares, burgers and hot dogs are mostly about condiments and toppings anyway. Do people really care? The flavor profile of many veggie patties is so much more complex than any meat patty I've ever had, without any of the ethical or environmental problems that comes with meat. That's why I wonder why were even bothering with lab grown meat instead of going the plant based route.

Could someone explain to me why CRDTs are more utilized by game developers for managing shared state?

Aren’t game servers just chat servers with extra constraints on the messages, e.g. physics, chess rules, etc?
Many thanks Lorinda for bc.
A super useful tool.
Rest in peace.
A lot of enthusiasts now prefer the Gun4IR [0] or Samco [1] routes over the Sinden. Both use the IR camera from an authentic WiiMote (the camera in clones won't work), or the commercially packaged version of the latter from DFRobot. The camera tracks around four infrared LEDs placed around the monitor. This gets you away from the white box the Sinden draws around the screen. The Gun4IR Discord is really active, with people modding everything from old PS/2 GunCons to airsoft guns to Nerfs. And no gun is complete without a solenoid and / or a rumble motor (that from a PS4 preferred) for feedback.
