Vitalik's the only person in the entire crypto space that gives me pause about my belief crypto is 90% a mixture of useless and fraudulent. He's clearly much more intelligent than me and much more thoughtful, and has come to the opposite conclusions about the topic.

I really don't know how to square that with basically everyone else in the space being clearly morons or hucksters.
It is the same with being smart but run really slow.

No amount of boilerplate can help you.

At the end of the day, you need to type fast enough above a certain threshold to be a programmer.

For example, I would say if you type <10 wpm, you cannot be a good programmer.

There is definitely a number that makes sense.
I'm thinking maybe we should make a checklist/rubric listing the different potential complexity factors, and as we have engineers help with sizing we could have the engineer consider whether each of those factors applies/what the magnitude would be? Would this process yield valuable enough insight to justify the cost?

You can definitely still experience alcohol. There was a GQ article about Richard Norris, recipient of a face transplant, who went to the store and got himself some Wild Turkey which he ingested via a tube to his stomach.

> He reaches into the brown bag, pulls out a bottle of Wild Turkey. [...] "For my throat," he says. He can’t take over-the-counter medications, he says. Too risky with his meds. There’s a backpack at his feet. He opens it, pulls out some tubing and a wide syringe, about a half-inch across, the kind you use to give medicine to horses. [...] He hooks the syringe to the tubing, lifts up his shirt. [...] He opens the Wild Turkey and starts pouring.

Honestly, not really. Scarcity only means something by enforcement. A record is just half the battle. However, enforcement is by its nature centralizing.

The NBA NFTs, for example. Why NFT? If the NBA is running the enforcement, you'd de facto have to trust them to be in the system, and if you trust them, then surely you'd trust their MySQL database just as much.
It looks like these days, NLP models are able to “seem” human. Start generating many reddit accounts, act like humans, gain karma. When an important discussion appears, use the army of bots to debate that product A is better than product B

I have Kubuntu Focus XE.
Pros
- support replies quickly
- I really haven't install any new software other than Discord and Spotify. Everything comes out of the box.
- Has all the IOs that I ever need.
- Very light, build quality is above average.

Cons
- Mouse pad is kind of sensitive - I would trigger it by accident while typing.
Thanks for coming to this thread, I'm curious what the other person meant though.

Yes, there is a stack and heap limiting the amount of resources that a command can use. So what? Design your application with that limitation in mind. Focus on what you can control, its a one-step one-click funnel that is inherently a payment and insatiable demand right now from the users. A Web 2.0 dream, I've sat through so many useless OKRs and KPIs meetings trying to figure that out, and now its just here for any individual willing to look, apply the same concepts and use it.

What do you mean about the amount of reads can be played with? I don't see how it matters. You can read the state of a smart contract or any account for free. Not really sure how this is a point.
I'm not the OP, but I thought the design was OK.

One thing I'd suggest removing however is the Product Hunt logo/widget. It's meaningless for people that may find your site via search. They don't care if it was the "Product of the Day" or whatever. Those are mostly for bragging rights in the lean startup community.

Another reason to remove it is because it creates that negative "blogspam" signal in online communities like HN that are familiar with PH. There are lots or barebones websites offering color palettes and CSS gradients and calling themselves "products". Don't turn your website into one of those.
If you don't ask question two, there's no point in asking question one.

Unless they find the place teeming with life, which nobody expects, it's more likely that anything they find hitched a ride from Earth instead of originated on the planet. So if they're not willing to rule that possibility out, they'll just end up causing decades of speculation and conspiracy theories.
how does this compare to jsonata?

That's true, but there is extra energy cost associate with putting it in orbit and then breaking orbit. Orbital calculations are about velocity, and delta-velocity, more than they are about height-above-ground.

Getting above the atmosphere is a big win, and may well make it worth it to do the final fueling from orbit. But in the end, getting to orbit may be as little as 100 miles of a multi-billion-mile trip.

As much as I kind of hate beating a dead horse, the driver and power issues on Linux are very much a matter of hardware choice.

I suspend and hibernate my ThinkPad constantly, from once to several times a day, with no concerns. My uptimes are usually limited by wanting to have a kernel (or some other low-level) update actually take effect once in a while.

My OS install is old enough that I can't actually remember what kinds of tweaks I may have made power-wise apart from installing TLP, but I get comparable battery life on Linux and Windows. I don't think I'm that far from stock configuration. It used to be worse -- my current OS install was originally on a different laptop -- and battery life was perhaps ~20-25% worse on Linux than on Windows, but I don't see much of a difference nowadays. Intel CPU power states are managed by the CPU itself nowadays anyway.

If there is a difference, it's usually because sometimes script-heavy web pages left open on the background seem to cause Firefox to keep hogging more CPU time on Linux than on Windows.

Sure, hardware choices will be limited. You do have to be selective, and the realistic hardware options may or may not satisfy you, so it's entirely reasonable if e.g. an Apple combination of hardware and software turns out to be more attractive.

Not everything is perfect, of course, but it does sound baffling to hear that "Linux" has these constant issues that I haven't experienced in years in daily use. It's true that you have to pick your hardware, and there's probably still a higher chance of hardware compatibility issues if you haven't paid anybody to make sure the combination works, but in my experience, those stereotypical issues are pretty far from being a universal truth.

really interesting thats the point people are choosing to get out of this.

just mentally replace "forever" with "unlimited" or just "free". reads are free. a lot of services meter that for developers. that's all.

just a weird assumption to skip straight to unbridled optimism about a system where thousands of nodes functioning as backups might be available for a while. I've seen torrents with less redundancy remain available for decades now.
I evaluated a lot of languages before settling down on C. I have 2 main reasons why I chose C. One is that I wanted to pay homage to many great programmers who wrote industry-pushing software in C. The other reason was that I wanted to start from 'scratch' and use as few pre-made libraries as possible. I think there is a lot of fun in starting a project like this from 0 and figuring out everything on the go :D
Economic value, perhaps. But clearly economic value and true value to people are completely divorced in this modern day and age, artificial scarcity is a disturbing concept and not one we should laud, and it is foolish or malicious to dedicate efforts and literal energy to such that we waste more on speculators gambling in this artificial scarcity space than medium-sized countries use to exist.

> The only thing that changed was people became more fearful.

People absolutely drive considerably faster. There are many reasons for that, but they do. When I was a kid roaming around on my own in the 1980s and 1990s, the roads simply weren't as dangerous as they are now.

People not only drive faster, but driver visibility is much worse--because A frames, because SUVs, etc.

I agree fear has grown considerably. But not all that extra fear is irrational--at least some of it is justified.
Not necessarily. Things improved a lot in past 30 years, I would say Turks and Kurds suffer almost equally nowadays.
What garbage collector? Ada never had one, besides the optional one in early standards, never implemented in any commercial compiler, thus removed in Ada 2012.

I wasn't the one asserting momentum, and can relate to plenty of other industries where Rust isn't even on the radar.

Going back to Ada example, Rust certainly doesn't have any momentum over Ada in high integrity computing.

Console vendors do happen to collaborate with Unity, and make it first party on their SDKs, so yet another lack of information.
I'm a huge fan of CoQ. But sometimes the chaotic layout of the procedural maps really clash with the neatness of the hand made story locations and towns. It's minor gripe though, meshing curated and procedural content seems like a hard task.
I can only answer questions whose answers are already public, but I'll do my best to be helpful. I was the "product champion" (i.e. cross-functional integration lead) for this product version, and the Spectacles product line was born from the acquisition of my 1st startup, Vergence Labs.

I would strongly disagree.

The decreasing life expectancy in the US is probably, ahem, largely attributed to a medical system that is not particularly well-optimized for boosting mass life expectancy (despite being world-class in absolute quality of care, I assume).

If you look closely, past decades have brought immense breakthroughs such as

- the first completely synthetic new antibiotic

- dramatic improvements in spatial and temporal resolution of imaging systems (MRI, PET etc.)

- actually useful robotic assistance for surgery

- easy, simple, and widespread techniques that are nevertheless life-saving, including a broad awareness for important events such as cardiac arrest and stroke

- much better, faster and more accurate laboratory work, down to the DNA level

And that's only a fraction of it which a layman such as myself can come up with from the top of my head!
Wait until we get some DRM together with NFTs.
I get some of the feeling behind this. But in terms of Turnitin my wife taught in art college and a close friend taught a Masters in Economics, and the amount of plagiarism was ridiculous. Sure, in theory there should be smaller class sizes, teachers should have more time per student, etc. etc., but Turnitin was an extremely helpful tool that meant they could offload the cognitive effort of detecting mechanical reproduction and get into reading the work. Unless there's something about Turnitin that I'm not aware of which tarnishes what they do? (Beyond making money out of already cash-strapped universities, I suppose...)
It's called DRM and we've had various iterations of it for over 20 years now.

You’re already doing what is probably the overwhelmingly most common practice (that is among teams who even think about the topic):

> just budget a proportion of each quarter to address technical debt and unexpected bug reports, but are finding this proportion is getting increasingly taxed by the growing feature set

For any given feature, it’s a matter of judgment how to build it, but I suspect that most companies would way rather live with “we make reasonable calls as we go” with regards to maintaining software than to have any false precision around exactly how much this new thing will cost if built as A, built as B, or not built. The error bars are just too large I think.

Modeling increasing overall absolute maintenance costs as your codebase and tech footprint expand is fairly easy and gets you pretty close for the next 12 months.
why are they so boxy looking?
If we forbade all technology that could be used to do harm, we wouldn’t have much technology left, if any.

Hammers can and have been used to kill people, as have axes, bricks, cars, electricity, fire, gas, ropes, water, etc.

In this case, the question is whether you trust Apple to do what it says it does and not more. If you do, you can use the current iPhone. If you don’t, you can’t use any iPhone they ever produced.

Q: Which type of cryptography is implied to be unsafe in the following sentence?:

"Immediately ditch RSA in favor of EC, for it is too hard to implement safely!"
Yes, crypto is (if the implementation is good) a way to make sure transactions are valid.

But I think there is too little discussion about the transactions that go in and out the network. Those transactions are still about trust. So crypto doesn't solve any trust issues.

And since not a lot of people have the resources to host crypto it will become less decentralized over time. So in the end it also doesn't fix centralization.

To me it's just a gold rush. Some people will get very wealthy from it, most wont.

Leaving aside that being unable to lie has nothing to do with knowing the truth, that poor wretch would be the most unelectable creature in existence. The voters do not want to hear that "we don't know what the right answer yet", "this solution is the right path in the long run but will cause poverty and suffering today", and other unpalatable truths that are largely unavoidable as part of governing a population.

I was thinking the same, a few ice cold beer drops, and they could ask him if he can taste it.

Edit: seems his requests could have been conceded through his feeding tube:

"The first message was a simple thanks to Birbaumer and the rest of the team. Other messages related to the man's care preferences: asking for a head massage or for more gel on his eye (which was prone to dryness) and requesting a higher head position when visitors were present. He even made suggestions for improving the performance of the spelling system.

Eventually, he could make specific dietary requests for his feeding tube: soup with meat, sweet pea soup, and curry with potato. And he did request a beer and for his caretakers to play his favorite band, Tool, very loud."

Unfortunately he's locked-in because of progressive muscle atrophy, so recovery isn't likely.
Totally agree with the premise that e-bikes are the most appealing option for urban mobility. I don't need a full workout when commuting and 250W of torque-sensing assist makes me, the average cyclist feel like superman. Just wanted to point out some downsides:

- $3300 + $1000 for upgrades/maintenance to cover 4k km works out to $1/km which is fairly expensive. Longer use will obviously amortize the cost further and the resale value of that bike is at least $2k, but still, I could buy a motorcycle/scooter and gear for similar money.

- Any US city I've lived in, riding such a bike to anywhere where I'd be leaving it out of sight for >5min is a non-starter because of rampant theft.

- Riding a sustained 20mph with a bicycle helmet without first developing the requisite skill to go that fast on a regular basis exposes you to much higher risk. Similar to if your first car had 400hp and no active safety features.

Cryptoeconomics has been a mix of successes & failures, among the very-privileged who can afford to take financial risks, for just the last ~13y. Everyone involved knows there's a lot of things left to solve, but sees reasons for hope.

For 100+ years, the most fervently 'socialist' regimes have promised various utopias but actually delivered famines, prison camps, pathologically dishonest & oppressive police states, and even genocides on a larger scale than famous 'fascist' regimes.

I can see why you might get into bickering if you find those situations analogous!
