No one is actually answering your question, the answer to which is absolutely yes, it’s technically possible to do what you’re describing. Actually getting 51% hash power will be likely infeasible.
This is nonsense. Anyone who understands how to write actually correct C can immediately write identical code in unsafe rust, avoiding any use of references. Writing the code at the safety boundary is the only thing that even requires rust-specific knowledge; but contra FUD, there is a [very] conservative but explicit list of soundness requirements right in the documentation.

You only get in trouble if you want to argue with the conservativeness of the basic requirements, and then you're off into as-yet-undefined territory of stacked borrows. But it's absolutely unnecessary to understand this to write correct safety boundary code, it just might not be the maximally elegant, simple thing a language lawyer could have written.
I dunno. How many rejections does it take before you know to stop trying? You only hear of the successes. If you can compare your skills to your peers, that can at least help in determining if you are totally out of your league or not.

You really have to wonder if that deal is going to close with this hullabaloo and the cratering of multiples in the time since.

> Measuring developer outputs can be detrimental because there are not enough data points to understand if the unproductiveness was caused by the developer himself, or by his surroundings/company.

How about just doing your best as an organization and as a people manager to make your developers happy and fulfilled? That increases productivity and motivation to succeed more than anything, IMO. Give great pay raises regularly, give a ton of time off, get rid of people managers who are jerks, etc. If your company has goals, and your developers aren't producing code to meet the goals, your goals are probably too high, you have too few developers, or your developers aren't motivated to complete the goals because they are being treated like shit or don't agree with the goals.

Management always wants to think that they are right in every decision and the employees are the ones who are unproductive, but after decades of working for "the man" in about 10 different industries in different positions/careers, I have found the fault lies with management 80 to 90 percent of the time due to some leadership failure or combination of failures. The problem is poor leadership and lack of motivation, no doubt in my mind. I've also led large groups of people (in the military) and by far the best thing I could do for them was make their personal and work lives better by not getting in the way and by not acting like a dickhead. Adding metrics to things just caused more useless work for me. You can't force change in a system via metrics, the only place where measurement changes outcome is in quantum physics.

I hate to go on a "capitalism vs. communism" type rant, but the best places I have ever worked, with the best "productivity", have been flat orgs where the developers and other employees are included in the decision making and the management and execs are open and caring and don't try to put profits and the business above the personnel. When everyone shared the success or failure of the company on equal terms, we could all get things done that were unthinkable.
It's all about speed.

Right now there's a post on the front page about "understanding higher-kinded types".

Assuming this is something about certain kinda of people (I'm guessing a play on "high minded"?) I give this maybe 20% chance of being worth a read.

So far I am 2 or 3 seconds invested. It's worth going further.

Click in to the comments. HN comments always loads in well less than 1 second, and it takes me another couple of seconds to read the very first comment and find out that this is nothing to do with people at all - it's about some new higher level semantics about data types in programming languages.

Fascinating and all, but not enough for today.

So with about 5 seconds investment, I've got some mild techno-titillation and have "consumed" that post on HN. Move on to the next one.

Do I want to be like this? No. But I feel HN is probably as highly evolved as possible at surfacing a wide range of technically interesting stuff to a wide range of consumers, and this is the fastest way to consume it.

As another post says, going to the source article is like stepping out of the safe, fast zone of HN. That's every chance I'll wait for many seconds for annoying whirring popups and page renderings. Not all sites are like this (the one in question is actually great, to the point and loads fast). But too many are.
I don't see a logical path from one to the other.
haha very much agree here. Baseball fans are probably one of the more conservative/older fan bases in sports and the leagues tilt towards ESG is quite baffling from a business perspective. I think they are trying to be more relevant again to younger fans by embracing stuff like this but could see it backfiring by alienating a whole generation and another with a strike on the horizon. Going back to the strike back in the 90's that really mad alot folks mad and set the stage for a large percentage of its fanbase to leave and some of which never came back.
What freelance platforms cannot prevent: Narcissism
Google Maps tags used by Russian forces in Ukraine
This is a particularly egregious case but reports about FCPA cases like these (and the ensuing calls to imprison executives) neglect the fact that most major multinationals do not want to pay anyone. Governments in about half the world require you to pay to get anything done, especially in highly regulated sectors like telecommunications. The government employees in charge of licenses, permits etc in these countries will literally refuse to do their jobs unless you pay them. Walmart just recently had a [$300 million](https://apnews.com/article/latin-america-us-news-ap-top-news...) fine for paying a local "expeditor" to get construction permits in Brazil. They didn't pay for a monopoly on supermarkets, they didn't pay prosectors to investigate their competitors, they paid so they could build a Walmart in Brazil. Is that evil?
I was at the airport at this time and just randomly saw it. Didn’t even know this plane existed. You can imagine my face and that of everyone around me.
It will succeed even further after China solves its fab issues. Considering how the West overplays the technological sanctions card, many countries will jump on this bandwagon as soon as RISC-V solutions will be more or less competitive. We already can see it in the embedded space (even Russia has a sizable stake in RISC-V) and I expect we will see reasonable high-end solutions in 5-10 years.
If someone who is broke is genuinely curious whether they can make money off of an article they have only a 10% understanding of, the answer is no.

I really hope that isn't something people need to be told though.
You've posted repeatedly like this in this thread. That's not allowed in someone else's launch thread (YC company or otherwise)—it's extremely bad manners. Please stop now.

It's maybe ok to post one comment telling people about your alternative product, depending on how you do that. More than that, it starts to be spamming.
That is valuable feedback. I'm screenshotting this post and will be rereading it before I start redoing the article.

Thank you!

I got my start in accounting/bookkeeping, moved into a controller role, and recently left a F/T position in business/revenue operations to chase something more analytical & tech-focused.

The series of movies that are the Matrix Trilogy are chuckling at this news release
its a meme
Does anyone who has been using it happen to have an update on some of the issues that were reported in the past? Like reoccurring lags every few minutes (when it switches to another satellite I guess), which is kind of bad for video calls. Stuff like that. That said, I actually think its PERFECT for the situation in Ukraine, but I still wonder if it's worthwhile for regular work (and if not, how far off they still are). Just curious.
I've been wondering about this per a unique business system I've been working on... Hypothetically, if you have a situation where you are not allowed to delete any prior business data (i.e. append-only event log), what would stop you from directly using prior log entries as the basis for some sort of incremental/recursive compression dictionary?

Put differently, is there any way to leverage scenarios where you have a practically-unlimited dictionary size and willingness to retain all data forever? Or, am I playing with some basic information theory equation the wrong way in my mind?
How quickly is the data accessible? Are sessions viewable realtime?

Show HN: FortunesRise – An investment tracker for all asset types
I saw this on Reddit a couple of days ago. Two suggestions:

- Change the symbol -> to | because it's more similar to how pipe works in shell than how -> works in C++/PHP.

- Introduce a second way to do string literals, so :hello is equivalent to "hello". Then change encode so that its second argument is a string instead of a mysterious name. (Read the docs but didn't actually understand how it worked under the hood. Is it just hardcoded?) So `encode json` becomes `encode :json` (or `encode "json"` if the user prefers).

This is a pretty cool project.
Generally you find the problems in your developer experience, and use those as your metrics. Maybe it takes three PRs and an hour and fifteen minutes to deploy to prod, lower number of PRs and minutes to deploy would be your metrics.

Or maybe to introduce a new endpoint in your API takes X amount of boilerplate lines, Y files, etc and you post mortem new endpoints after your change to ensure that number is dropping.

Talk to people, find out what their problems are, quantify the problem, measure.
Everything including "objective" metrics includes bias. And that's before you take into account people outright gaming metrics (objective or subjective).
I believe the topic being discussed is asymmetry of information between employees and employers (with respect to salary). Salary fixing demonstrates this asymmetry pretty well, so it is on topic.

> Salary figures are inherently inaccurate, just like googling for the market price of your car can never be accurate,

I don't think this has got anything to do with the topic under discussion.

> Information isn't hard to come by for either.

I disagree. IMO it is harder to come by for individuals than large companies. I have explained why in my previous response.
Seems to me to be extremely biased towards teams like the Yankees who spend their way into success. I'm pretty sure you'd create a situation like college football where you have the same small handful of teams who are always in the championship, which is pretty boring. (The focus on the Astros is interesting, especially given it would have stacked the odds against them in that infamous 2017 season)

I am a software engineer based in Atlanta, GA. I enjoy solving real-world problems and giving value to people through technology.

I am proficient in JavaScript and Ruby, but I will work with the right language for what is needed to get the job done. I am also confident in my ability to apply "just-in-time" learning to pickup new technologies quickly.

Hi there, as others have said, finish your degree!

Second: Nothing is for nothing! :)

You learned something, you learned you didn't like something after you thought you did. Welcome to the rest of us, this is completely normal. It happens to many, many people.

Now you are in an exceptionally great position to switch to something else with little to no effort.

Data engineers or even ML engineers, people who combine in depth knowledge of data, statistics and SWE are probably one of the hottest job candidates globally right now. There are absolutely not enough of them.

I am based in Berlin, where you will easily find an internship or entry level job in data engineering or backend engineering with your degree and a EU passport. Also, we have a sizeable amount of Russian expats in Software Engineering in the city, so after living here a bit and networking within the Russian community you should be able to quickly improve your choices of places to work at.

If you want, feel free to send an email to gbx the "at" sign mailbox dot org.
Happy to answer any questions about Berlin you might have and put you in touch with a Russian ex-colleague who's in Backend.
I can't speak for them but there are two big ones I've hit:

1. rsync likes to build the entire list of operations before doing anything. If you have workloads which requires scanning lots of small files and/or using something like NFS / s3fs, etc. that means a LOT of I/O delays before a single byte of payload is transferred.

2. The checksum algorithm is really cool if you have large files which only change a little but it's relatively expensive and brittle. I've run into multiple cases where naive sftp was faster because we had a high-bandwidth, high-latency network connection.

NATO has has only engaged in non-combat missions in Iraq, in support of the local government. NATO has never fought in Iraq.

The US is not NATO, it would do you well to do some basic research before throwing around misguided criticism.
They also had a proper REPL, and the reason I stay with Java and .NET ecosystems, is because they are the closest we can get back to the Xerox experience, after the UNIX divergence.
> Less secure access also enables using software running on your own computer to access your email easily. For example offlineimap and imapfilter.

You shouldn't need OAuth; have you tried application-specific passwords (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833)?
FortunesRise was born from my desire to understand the performance of my investments and make better investing decisions. I was frustrated that I could not easily compare how my stocks, retirement accounts, rental property, and cryptocurrencies were all doing relative to each other. Without that information, I didn't feel like I was in full control.

I went looking for solutions and found some interesting options - but most of them required me to give up my bank and brokerage login data. For me this was a non-starter. I was just not comfortable entrusting a company with that sensitive information no matter how well intentioned they were.

Thus, FortunesRise was born. We strive to pack key information into an intuitive and easy to compare format. The goal is to have data to understand both past performance and to guide decisions on what to do next. FortunesRise is simply a tool for making better investing decisions, we don't sell your data to anyone or push investing advice and products.

I hope some of you out there will find FortunesRise as useful as I do. I use it pretty much every day and it has improved my own investing significantly. Feel free to ask me any questions about the app or the development process, I'm happy to help out my fellow investors and makers!
Google village in downtown San Jose could achieve $19B value
It certainly is. I don't install it that way, or recommend it be installed that way, but others do. You can take that up with the project owner :)
They’ll just farm it out to another company by setting the goals ‘get service working in country x’ and leave the ‘and bribe the terrorists you need to bribe to make it happen’ off the paperwork.

At the end of the day, either they did what they did (and service worked), or chances are no service would work and they wouldn’t have a business.

They should have said ‘can’t work, sorry’ and walk away, but that’s tough to do when a lot of money is at stake for anyone.
