This seems promising, going try it on my next ride.
One interesting thing about the green revolution was that food went from 1/3 of the average American household budget to 1/6.

Oh, and to paraphrase Hitchhiker's Guide, programmers will probably the first ones up against the wall when the revolution comes.
Ask HN: Has anyone found a job from the monthly Who's hiring on HN?
I'm just curious to know the effectiveness of this. I have got some sales emails after I shared my details on who wants to be hired. So wondering if anyone's got a job through these monthly HN posts ?

From a quick glance at the "In Comments" section of the HN FAQ...yes, OP is quite correct that your "More likely story..." comment is way out of line.

Choices come with trade-offs and in turn make languages suitable for different use-cases and users. There's no uniform "best for it's users" choices that apply to all languages.

Well, ironically, the exception that applies to all languages being: "does my code still work?" choices... which is what pron was addressing.
> Twitter believes that I should delete the Tweet (which I didn’t make in the first place)

But... It's on your account. If Twitter's condition for re-instating the account is that you delete this tweet, and you have enough access to your account to be able to delete the tweet, why aren't you deleting the tweet?

And:

> Twitter is behaving wholly irresponsible here: there is absolutely no way that if my account was compromised that they could not have noticed this prior to issuing the block, and as far as I can see my account is still there, which means that either someone social engineered Twitter into changing the password, then immediately turned around to compromise then get my account blocked or that Twitter has much larger problems in not being able to detect attempts at account compromise.

What if someone got hold of your password somehow? I'm sure Twitter has suspicious login detection, but those things can never be perfect. Maybe OP has really good reasons to think that there's no possible explanation other than a Twitter vulnerability or social engineering a Twitter employee, but none of that reasoning is in this post?

What a weird blog post.
Here an example of a hardware "trojan" for Intel Ivy Bridge; The hardware RNG is broken only by modifying its circuitry doping.

https://sharps.org/wp-content/uploads/BECKER-CHES.pdf

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doping_(semiconductor)

In this paper we introduced a new type of sub-transistor level hardware Trojan
that only requires modification of the dopant masks. No additional transistors
or gates are added and no other layout mask needs to be modified. Since only
changes to the metal, polysilicion or active area can be reliably detected with
optical inspection, our dopant Trojans are immune to optical inspection, one of
the most important Trojan detection mechanism. Also, without the ability to
use optical inspection to distinguish Trojan-free from Trojan designs, it is very
difficult to find a chip that can serve as a golden chip, which is needed by most
post-manufacturing Trojan detection mechanisms.
To demonstrate the feasibility of these Trojans in a real world scenario and to
show that they can also defeat functional testing, we presented two case studies.
The first case study targeted a design based on Intel’s secure RNG design. The
Trojan enabled the owner of the Trojan to break any key generated by this RNG.
Nevertheless, the Trojan passes the functional testing procedure recommended
by Intel for its RNG design as well as the NIST random number test suite.
This shows that the dopant Trojan can be used to compromise the security of
a meaningful real-world target while avoiding detection by functional testing as
well as Trojan detection mechanisms.
hmm, I'd debate whether a purchase of something that can be bought in practically continuous increements has to be seen as "all-or-nothing". If you're buying a car, of course, you can only buy a full car or none. but when your remaining purchase volume is [0,9975], I would have interpreted the excess part of a 10000 purchase as only the 10000-9975=25.

also, the 8-week window is indicative that this will be reviewed by a human being, who would hopefully understand the intention behind depositing 25 and then 10000 (the intention behind depositing another 10k might be a bit less clear lol).
Thanks. Ya, I actually spoke with the founder of Hypothesis a while back, and a former contributor who was looking into using Kontxt. Kontxt not only enables rich web collaboration, but it helps atomize the web to re-use key pieces in secondary contexts like a social network or in the future, to create new content. Kontxt takes a social first approach with many ways to share and follow with others.
> there are a number of people out there demonstrating that they can get about 50% of the conventional yield from an acre, but for 4 different crops, and a few other things thrown in to get over 2x the total yield.

A lot of US agriculture is done on by contract operators. Bill Gates seems to work mostly in that model.

I mention Gates because what he says suggests that he'd love to see that claim pan out on a large scale. Also, he's known for insisting on high dollar yields.

And yet, we're talking about demonstrations and not actual significant experience.

Maybe Gates is lying about his social goals AND also isn't profit-maximizing.

But, if he isn't, why aren't the demonstrators doing good and doing well (2X production is a big bucks) by doing this stuff at scale somewhere in Gates-land?
Good one, never thought of that. One more reason to want to get to the bottom of how this was done.
With you basically, but I phrase it as: "Without a CS degree or equivalent experience."
I think you are missing a key benefit of async/await. It can be implemented incredibly efficiently. This is because it is "stackless". Or in other words you know the exact amount of "stack" space required and you can allocate this exactly instead of allocating a real stack which can be very much larger.

For example if I want to implement a "sleep" with async/await I probably only need to store the wake time as state, if I want to make a virtual thread to do the same I likely need to allocate a large stack just in case I use it.

Of course this can be mitigated with stack caching, small stacks, segmented stacks or other tricks. But doing this is still more expensive than knowing how much "stack" you need up-front and allocating only that.

>you didn't have as much freedom in that job as your Western colleagues.

Very true.

>You had to work harder than the Swedes because the alternative was worse for you.

Not very true. I never worked hard in my life. I worked productively. Yes, I've done in my first 2 years in the USA more than in my 15 years in the home country. Because in my home country you had to share a Sun workstation with 10 other teams, and X.25 card? You can order it for the next year delivery, at it may be delivered, but never on time.

Swedes were late because they didn't know that you can implement the needed subset of the ASN.1 encoding using a simple, hand-made stack machine.

>American worker can simply leave and find a better job.

In my days the H1B quota was not immediately exhausted, so there was a window of opportunity each year. Raise the H1B limit - and you'll deliver almost the same amount of freedom to H1B workers.

>That's the point. It's more like indentured servitude than slavery in that regard anyway.

My point is that it's more complicated than that. The employer - in the present situation - can 1) hire an American worker, 2) hire an H1B employer. My point is that option 2 - in the present world - is actually an increase of liberty in the world, not slavery.

>the problem is that it's of concerning ethics on the part of the employer.

The ethics of the employer do not concern me that much. I can't change them. I can hope to change your ethics, ethics of a person I am directly talking to. And my concern is that you are labeling H1B program as an "indentured servitude", while it actually increases liberty in the world. That's my concern, or at least that's a paradox I clearly see.
>You can never get a power estimate from a CPU usage graph at all.

Man I remember being a kid and drinking a McDonald's shake through a straw. It was so frustrating. My cheeks would be sucked in like a 60 year old actress with really bad plastic surgery and even then I'd just get a little bit.
> There is no doubt that stress plays a large role. Remember, it is nature AND nurture.

I also should add, that I do not mean just mental stress, but other environmental stressors too. All I am going to say is that I find it odd that in my rural area in the Southeast, USA all of my childhood school friends (7 or so of us) that lived within say... a 3 mile radius of me all have or could meet the criteria for ADHD. Of course, it could be coincidental, but you never know.

> But probably the most important part you have left out is diet.

I could believe this to some degree. I have other health issues (autoimmune) that I think are impacted by diet, but I cannot place my finger on it exactly. Weather e.g. cold, dry air also as strong negative effect compared to more humid and hot summers. Though, I do not think that weather effects ADHD, for me at least.

My issue with supplements are that you have no idea what you are getting or what is in them. The only one I take is vitamin D, and I have taken things like fish oil in the past, but I never noticed any differences. Was the fish oil spoiled? Was it of good quality? Any harmful contaminants in the liquid? I have no idea, and I feel like it's basically just a game of trust, since none of the supplements are regulated in my country.
The climate change example has a hole in the form of people who neither believe nor disbelieve that the temperature will rise or fall, or that it's caused by man or that it's adressable by man, but simply don't agree it's necessarily a problem either way.

They aren't necessarily saying the temp won't rise or that the climate and landscape and bioscape won't change. It's possible to simply not have a problem with any of that.

Climate change debate is more about agreeing on a goal than agreeing on a fact or an outcome.

A whole bunch of people would not bother betting on either outcome, and so the bets have no influence on their actions.

The regulatory stopgap seems inelegant too. Like the whole point of the article is to try to get a system to self regulate through correct alignment of incentives. Well that part indicates an imcomplete system then, since that's not an incentive, nor even an elegant equilibrium-based governor mechanism, it's a plain manual control.

Well since they didn't say what the regulatory measure would be I suppose that could be something elegant, but I think it's too central to the whole idea to leave as a handwave. That's like the step 2 ??? between socks and profit.
I've had a pretty opposite experience. The busier I am, the more I have to process, and time feels to pass more slowly. I feel like the first 6 months of my kids life took at least twice that.

I think we are not in a position to judge what is reasonable to do over hundred or thousand of years with our current technological progression.

Plastics where not really a thing 100 years ago. At our current progression I think we should avoid the big catastrophes (Nuclear war), push for developpement of poor places(get more genius) and advance technology as fast as we can.

At this speed of advancement in less than 100 years I am sure we will have figure out something for the plastic we have generated meanwhile.
The UI is getting fixed up in piecemeal fashion, gradually moving around elements or consolidating them. If you want to see the full details, the devs stream and record video showing progress and reviewing major new versions.

Specific to this article, the alignment tools have recently gotten a pass of updates - something which everyone doing technical drawings can make use of. Layers and objects have been merged into one panel and the update performance of the panel uses a more scalable algorithm now, making it easier to navigate the document in outline form and reducing some of the burdens of object manipulation that the author calls out to external code for.

Styling still needs improvement but IIRC there is work in progress on swatches that might address that.

It's now possible to use a command bar to type in commands (as is the trend with every complex app) which addresses some of the use of macros. Shortcut binding is in need a pass to improve assignability; that would eliminate a second source of pain.
To be honest, it was a post made in naïveté. I didn't know that this thread was run on a script or that it happened on the first weekday, honestly.

There is basically no UV on most of the oceans volume.

I don't know where we stand better chance of getting a plastic consuming bacteria. (Do we even want that?) But the rate of natural decomposition of plastic on the ocean or underground is probably similar.
If I didn't know you to be tech savvy, I'd assume the most likely culprit is that your desktop had been hacked and the tweet did in fact come it.

The land use isn't singular on a regeneratively managed farm. Agroforestry and intense rotational grazing are two examples of ecosystems planned for maximum profitable output from land. An agroforestry farm may provide mushrooms, berries, nuts, wood, meat, dairy, eggs, grains, and fruit from the same plot of land that may provide 201,000 bushels of wheat (~5000 acres). The difference is management. Regenerative practices aim to work with nature.

I understand being skeptical of a new way(really the old way) to farm. We have all grown up in a time dominated by artificial inputs to farms. We don't know anything else. I have been following the regenerative space for years now and have adopted many of the practices on my tiny piece of land. This is the future of farming. Outputs are higher quality and more plentiful with more variety. Inputs are minimal which increases the profit margin.

I remember the Knight Cap event, I was working on order routing at the time.

Things have changed a lot since 2012, and at the same time haven’t. Circuit breakers and position monitoring are no.1 in any sane market making firm. What happened then I can’t imagine happening now (accumulating a huge position for, what was it, 30 minutes? With nobody killing the algos within a couple of minutes?). On the other hand, the perfect world of “code hygiene” and 100% test coverage will never exist in this world, things will slip and they do frequently. What’s better, externally, is the availability of good tools for development and change reviews (bitbucket taking hold, for example), automated deployments, containers, testing frameworks and similar.
This type of software, end to end, is incredibly complex and difficult to reason about when unexpected happens (there was a TTL misconfig for multicast and we never got such and such update? Well, no one thought of that!), esp these days with the influx of ML algos for price generation.
I'd agree I don't think of this as a "free strava" -- that was for getting attention.

Does anyone know if Strava is profitable or if it is still burning cash? Tough business - I started using it in the early days and was happy to be a paying customer when they started offering that. (A) to help fund more services and (B) I hate the free software model which I realize Strava was originally as they bootstrapped a user base.

> This doesn't sound as useful as putting the car in 2nd, or rocking back and forth?

Neither of those cause the wheel with more traction to get any torque. Applying the brakes lightly will. Rocking and manually preventing wheelspin with the brake can be combined.

In theory, traction control will as well, but traction control may also intervene and decrease power right when you need it as you're getting unstuck, so there's potential merit in turning it off and preventing excess wheelspin with the brake yourself.

Tweet is addressed to several accounts, one of them is KyivIndependent which reports Ukraine related news. The tweet looks like a death wish from RU supporter.
> why aren't you deleting the tweet?

Because deleting it would remove the one bit of evidence that this happened and may well wipe out the data that would allow establishing how this was done.

> What if someone got hold of your password somehow?

Theoretically possible, practically not very likely for all kinds of reasons which I won't go into here but which you are going to have to take my word for. Let's just say that I'm a bit paranoid when it comes to stuff like this.

> I'm sure Twitter has suspicious login detection, but those things can never be perfect.

Apparently...

> Maybe OP has really good reasons to think that there's no possible explanation other than a Twitter vulnerability or social engineering a Twitter employee, but none of that reasoning is in this post?

Well, let's just say that I've been around for a while and to date have not yet had any of my accounts compromised, ever. That this should happen on Twitter where there has been a long history of such things happening is not all that surprising and when it comes to evaluating Twitter account security versus me being able to keep my passwords to myself I'm going to be arrogant enough to claim that I think that I can do that.

There is plenty of evidence for Twitter accounts being compromised, in fact, one comment here links to a SIM swap attack against Twitter's CEO...
In a way, it is similar to our approach at Q Blocks. Decentralized GPU computing for ML.
