hmm, I can't recall ever noticing it but probably I didn't because it didn't come up or more likely because if I want immediate I explicitly set 0, but anyway the ticket https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/291998/webkit/ says

>This patch removes the 1ms minimum for setTimeout. The HTML spec makes no mention of such a minimum, and Firefox and Chrome do not enforce this minimum

so I guess it was other browsers with the varying minimums, or these two removed it earlier.

that person will realize they spent $400,000 on nothing and they will change overnight from an advocate to a hater. People will wake up and realize Kantai Collection and Fate Grand Order are better games than Axie Infinity not least because the first two feature large-chested women whereas the latter has off-brand versions of Kirby that all look the same.

Soon we won't be mocking people who post NFT propaganda because it will be all over.
> If you can, add it to CI but only fail if there are new warnings.

That's a great idea. But I'm not sure how to easily do that. Getting CI to fail if clang-format reports a warning is easy enough. But... you suggest that I should store all of the existing warnings somewhere and only report new warnings? That's a lot (!) more effort unless you know an easy way
There's a lot of interesting research out there as designers having been toying with asynchronous for decades.

For example this one sponsored by Intel where they put an asynchronous instruction length decoder into a Pentium.

https://my.eng.utah.edu/~kstevens/docs/rappid.pdf

They won on latency and power with comparable area. The issue that blocked it was DFT CAD and the ATE infrastructure doesn't exist for asynchronous designs.
If you save $500k this year by optimizing some pattern or behavior (eg infrastructure) then why wouldn't that $500k also be saved the next year? You're right if it's a one-time cut (eg no free snacks this year) but most savings are going to be on things that happen more than once.
Size matters for speeding up nuclear waste cleanup
I just think people who are spoiled by thousands of sqft properties with yards big enough for a small dwelling can’t relate to the idea that for many of us, where we sleep isn’t the same space we want to center our lives around. We don’t necessarily need to not ever see or hear other people either.
Show HN: Yet another Hacker News client
Hi there everybody, I have been working on this Hacker News client recently and just want to share it here and hopefully gather some feedbacks!, thanks!

What type and size company do you work for? And how did you find it?

That sounds like a pretty ideal scenario to me, but I'm not sure how to go about finding similar positions.
I think it could in theory be more reliable and require less maintenance than a traditional drivetrain, but it's definitely going to be 7-10% less efficient than a good chain system.
I really don't want this to devolve into chest-pounding, but I have worked in the bike industry, and have raced on-and-off as an amateur in road, cyclocross, MTB, and duathlon dating back to the late 80s. I remember when the Ritchey P23 was the state-of-the-art in lightweight mountain biking, something I chuckled at when riding a 17 pound carbon Ibis a couple of decades later.

Wind resistance absolutely matters in every discipline of cycling, and you don't need to have been fooling around with bikes for forty years to know that. If it didn't matter, what are all those triathletes and time trialists doing with aero bars, flat backs, and disc wheels?

It matters in MTB as well. The optimal position for efficiently generating power on a bicycle is actually quite upright, you can see this if you look at pictures of people riding "roller races," they usually flipped their handlebars up so they could be much more upright than when riding on a track.

XC MTBs have much lower bars than would be most efficient on rollers without wind resistance, and that's because the lower position generates less drag, knobby tires and all.

Even if you aren't riding a time trial or racing XC on an MTB, knowing where to expend your energy and where to save it matters greatly. If your daily commute involves hills, you will work less and arrive sooner if you don't try to crank your max while descending, and save your efforts for climbing.

That's just math and physics.

That was a comment from a different user. Girls having their breasts removed because they want to be boys is just as much gender-affirming surgery as the hypothetical penectomy they proposed. That is, gender-affirming surgery performed on minors.

If an oxygen mask actually helps physiologically (not just placebo effect) then that's a symptom of a serious respiratory or cardiovascular system disorder rather than what we would usually define as CFS. Even if someone is extremely fatigued, as long as their respiratory system is working correctly then blood oxygen saturation will be near 100% and an oxygen mask will have no effect. In fact prolonged use can actually cause lung damage due to oxygen toxicity.

I think Inflation scares are a big part of it - at least it was for me.

If inflation is 8.5% and a mortgage is 3%, the bank is paying me to buy a more expensive house.

At the same time, If I hold and wait to buy, my savings are evaporating while the price goes higher.

Fascinating article. 25% of fossil fuel use is dedicated to making ammonia, steel, plastics and cement. Modern society can't function without them.

Even if we stopped all traditional consumption of fossil fuels for heating and transportation, this categories will still grow significantly in the next decades. Almost every green tech expects cement and/or steel.

We need further tech innovation in this space.
What is stimulated emission in lasers, and how might that concept transfer to algae and solar? I googled the definition, but it was way over my head.
The article acts like hydrogen from electrolysis is an energy source, but this side of fusion (and fusion has remained 30 years in the future for nearly a century now...), hydrogen is really an energy storage mechanism, not an energy source.

The reason the vast majority of the world's hydrogen comes from natural gas (or the very similar coal gas) is due to two simple facts:
1) Natural gas (methane) conveniently has 4 hydrogen atoms and only one carbon atom, so it's by far the best/easiest/cheapest source of hydrogen there is;
2) Water is one of the most stable molecules in the universe - it requires enormous energy to rip apart, so electrolysis takes a LOT of energy, and that energy (in the form of electricity) has to come from somewhere itself: Currently the most cost effective source is, once again, natural gas.

Nuclear (fission) electricity would help a lot (for those who are foolish enough to think that CO2 is a pollutant), but the hippie greenies insist on scuttling the highest-capacity, lowest-carbon energy source we know of...
What is "nice weather" really varies by person. Personally, I would love something where the temperature didn't vary a lot, it is damp, but most importantly, it is overcast/dark as much as possible. Hence my ideal locale would be the Pacific Northwest.
I may be unusual but I've always found it prudent to ask my CEO about things like rate of corporate growth, funding and customer revenue generation, M&A, etc.

Because if I am a vesting or fully-vested employee, then that's my own future at stake. The 401(k) can be dwarfed by many times by a successful stock worth millions, or, in a badly run or positioned company, the stock could be worthless underwater paper shares and I become dependent exclusively on the 401(k) for my sunset days.

The financial literacy of many workers is low though. They don't understand what options are or what it means to really be a shareholder.

When I was at Cisco — I'm talking in the 1990s — we used to describe what we called "stockholder angry." This was when a fully-vested employee heard a VP or above talking about some idea so stupid it would literally cost the company a penny per share or more. That's when the old dogs would get "stockholder angry" and propose alternatives, or ask people to stop ideas that were retrograde for the sake of the company's valuation. Because we knew what a penny per share meant to each of us.

I believe it is valuable for employees at all levels to be able to know the state of their company's health, and then, with an informed mind, be able to voice their opinion on the fate of their organizations.

There are several caveats with this. First of all, this comes from the treasury (executive branch). There is considerable room for interpretation, and courts may apply existing laws differently than the treasury intends.

Furthermore, according to the letter, the tax-free period only applies to currency tokens (which are defined as tokens to be used for payment purposes). The tokens that routinely make the news do not seem to be in that category. Other tokens may be taxed differently. Here's an example: if someone algorithmically pegs the value of a token to some stock index, it is very likely that you still have to pay the usual 25% capital gains tax once you sell it. Undoubtedly someone will set up a coin like that and take fees in anticipation of tax savings, but this will work out only for some time, until the tax office catches up—or not at all, if the token is never classified as a payment/currency token in the first place.
The reason for the opacity is obvious, they want you to think the equity is worth more than it is.

People constantly assume good faith in these things when they shouldn’t.

Obviously number of outstanding shares is a bare minimum, but things like cash reserves and cash flow should also be shared but they don’t want to share that information, often times because it’s not good, they just wasn’t people who believe in the “mission” or that it’s a rocketship or whatever.

The secondary reason is that there are still too many naive engineers who assume good faith, drink the startup koolaid, and take these offers . Sometimes even declining public RSU grants to do so. One company out of ten thousand have ISOs that are worth anything but those are the only company in the headlines so the mystique continues.

The only solution is education. ISO (Incentive Stock Options) are one of the biggest scams of all time and you’re financially illiterate if you value them more than zero. They are carefully designed by venture capitalists to screw employees. NFTs of monkey pictures are infinitely stronger financial assets than startup ISO - I mean, as least the monkey jpegs have liquidity and volume, and no liquidation preference coded in to screw you over.
This article contradicts itself:

> Synthesis of ammonia and smelting of steel could both be based on hydrogen rather than on natural gas and coke. We know how to do that—but it will take some time before we could produce hundreds of million tons of green hydrogen derived from the electrolysis of water by using wind or solar electricity (virtually all of today’s hydrogen is derived from natural gas and coal)

So, no, the world can absolutely produce these things without fossil fuels, just like it can produce electricity without fossil fuels and it can transition its transportation away from fossil fuels. It's just not that easy, but we will do it.
"Eventually" could mean a decade or two from now. Nobody knows what that will look like.

Wow. Now that you say it, that seems really obvious. He managed to do an unscheduled sale of stock at the peak of the market.
If you read western propaganda they are highlighting Russian losses, but massively hiding the Ukrainian losses.

Reading Telegram, and a number of sites like the pro-russian but honest SouthFront [1] you can see the actual story is very different. Everything that I read points to progressive Russian destruction of Ukrainian logistics which basically predetermines the fate of this war.

I try to consume from multiple sources both on the west, Russian, and neutral/slightly biased (Indian)

> Bluntly, the US population has mostly grown to the point where we are regularly having to deal with the fact that some things and experiences are just limited.

This is the bigger problem. Not just US population, but world population has grown enormously, and is richer, and travel is cheaper. So there are exponentially more people arriving at tourist destinations that a hundred years ago received only a handful of people a week.

Look at Everest. Total clusterfuck.

In my locale, they are more like small motorcycles without brakes.

Actually, most of the e-cyclists are quite well behaved, but there does seem to be a tendency among the beginners to maneuver through things at speed, that a conventional cyclist would slow down for. My guess is they haven't developed a sense for how far ahead of themselves they actually need to be paying attention.

But also, I admit that there's a certain bias here. There are fast and slow cyclists, and those who are polite or jerks. You don't notice the polite cyclists at all. You don't notice the slow jerks, because they're behind you. You only notice the fast jerks, on either electric or conventional bikes. So there's a bias towards thinking that fast riders are jerks.
I don't think it has to be emotional at all.

There is what the house is worth to the seller, and what it is worth to the buyer, and the sale price is always somewhere in between.

It is just taking advantage of an information asymmetry to get the sale price closer to what it is worth to the buyer.
I agree with the first paragraph but using totalitarian systems as an example is a bad choice. This is about the most extreme manifestation of communities that one can think of, most of the people did not even join voluntarily but were forced into it. Most of the change likewise happened through infighting and violent schisms. And you have to consider that there is very little to in many cases no information about what these communities were like apart from their own narration, which is guaranteed to have been rewritten to fit the dogma of the time. There are very few independent accounts, if there were they didn't survive because these groups tended to destroy everything that wasn't their own.

Keep in mind the early "faith" communities were nothing like more liberal religious groups today. In Islam radical groups are more close to the original warlord days of Muhammad. Thinks something like ISIS, that's what it was originally like.
Story time.

I had a phone stolen many years ago. I set a lock screen message, "hey, return the phone and I'll give you a reward, it's locked".

Nothing. For about a month.

Then some guy calls me. "Hey, so I bought this phone on eBay and when I got it I saw your message. So I was scammed. But uh, hey, since you probably had insurance, would it be possible for you to unlock it so it's not now two of us who have lost out?"

Admired his chutzpah. Said "how do I know you didn't steal it?" etc. In the end I said I wouldn't do that. So, he reaches out to the seller, asks for a refund. Seller refuses.

So he escalates. "Actually, I wasn't asking, I was demanding. See, I have the original owner's info now, and will send him the listing, and all of your info. Refund me, or I give it all to him." Seller refunds him, and he gives me the info anyway.

I see my phone listing. IMEI is the same, but two digits transposed. Enough that it won't show up on a search. Enough that he has plausible deniability. Failed the IMEI validity check. Seller is about ten minutes from me. I go to his other listings.

Holy shit.

Approximately fifty iPhones and Samsungs. All with the same IMEI transposition. Approximately a quarter describe that the phones are activation locked, but the rest don't.

Oh, and all the listings. "Does not include charger. Does not include headphones. Does not include cables. Does not include accessories."

I continue scrolling. Oh, look, this guy is also selling about forty or so Macbooks.

Guess what? None of them come with a charger either, or any accessories.

So I reach out to the local cops.

"Well, he is probably not the person who stole your phone, just someone else."

"I'm fairly sure knowingly selling stolen goods is also a crime."

"How can you say that they're stolen?"

"Well, absence of chargers, etc., would probably indicate that..."

"..."

They did nothing.

I resisted the urge to drive by his home and sugar his gas tank. Barely.

Anyway, anecdotally, plenty of people fence things on eBay. Admittedly that might not be because they're stupid, but because they know local law enforcement doesn't care.

Turo around here is being used to launder drug money. Chrysler 300Cs being "rented" out for weeks on end at $600/day. It works well because you don't even lose use of the vehicle, just have one of your customers pay Turo for "rental" with money you gave them.
Scheduler activation is not so different from the modern approach, using e.g. uring or IOCP (not really poll-based). The original terminology references "virtual processors" as opposed to system-level threads, and "user threads" as opposed to arbitrary tasks, but either way a task that's about to block must have its state saved and subsequently restored once the event has been handled, and these operations are managed by the user-level runtime not the OS.

It's a bit suspicious that the article doesn't actually mention how much power the system uses. The processor it powers doesn't need very much at all, so it makes one wonder
BMW i3 has an optional range extender Which is a motorcycle engine that only generates power.

Nissan e-power cars are hybrids that you can't plug in, but all power is generated by the ICE and then fed to the electric motor before it gets to the wheels.

Advice itself can be an anti-pattern in relationships, including work relationships.

A number of personality models show that informational advice is perceived as condescending or didactic, by those who prefer to be listened to empathetically, after which they prefer to solve their own gosh darn problem, TYVM.

So it can help to start with an empathetic statement, and then directly ask, "are you looking for advice? I wouldn't want to presume." It can also help to directly refer to the advice as an idea, or an option, clearing the possibility that it's all about you and how great your direction is.
Oh, thank you, this was the question floating in my head as well, this explains it perfectly.

Even within SF the weather can be pretty variable depending on what part of the city you're in. My friend living in Richmond has a nice view of the ocean, theoretically, but it's pretty cold and cloudy out in the yard for a lot of the year. I live in the southeast side of the city near Hunter's Point, and we probably have totally overcast days in the single digits, it's basically always sunny and 70 during the day. It does get really windy for a good chunk of the day for a good chunk of the year, but our warmest days are during the spring and summer when that dies down.

My guess is when the candlestick park / shipyard redevelopment happens this is going to be prime residential real estate, it's the best weather in the city IMO.
