If you had a choice to invest in founders who had such clarity, commitment, and grit that “they’d mortgage their house” vs a choice to invest in founders who were “in it as long as things keep going well”, which would you pick?
Agreed on the complexities of CloudFoundary, there’s a ton of work going on behind the scenes to make it work.

That said I think the Hashistack doesn’t address the PaaS component. There’s no cf push with HashiCorp tools.

It’s early days but maybe WayPoint will make that happen.
If you want a much more highly available open source Heroku, there is Cloud Foundry which is used as the basis for a few public PaaS like IBM Bluemix and SAP Cloud Platform. The smallest HA set up is about 50 VMs though, and it's complicated to deploy so not really worth it if you have fewer than 1,000 or so developers to support.
In Olympic recurve archery, as a rough rule of thumb I found that wind speeds were very easy to compensate for when they were in the single digits, hard when less than 20mph, and virtually impossible higher than that.

I live about 100 miles from the coast, and the number of days I can remember having an easy time of it is of the order of five in a given year.
The guy is an ACTOR.

He’s not an expert in ANYTHING except pretending to be an expert.

His agent gives him a call. He’s not a crypto specialist, but everyone says it’s important. To him, a reputable company is offering him a ton of money to promote their company over other companies. Why would he think he’s propping up some great evil?

Why would you expect him to be an expert, but NOT expect the equally ignorant people watching to be expert?

Personal responsibility with your investments is important.
PoW is inefficient by design, which SOME cryptocurrencies use. But cryptocurrencies don't need to use PoW. Many already use non PoW systems, and others are going to switch away from PoW (such as ethereum).

And you would not want to place the batteries densely together, in case of fire. Maybe put a few of them in some metal container or so, to keep them apart. Then one could put wheels on that container to move them more easily, maybe even add an engine.

The reason you need to avoid trusted entities is when you want to operate outside the legal system. Which is why the use case for crypto is, and always will be, contraband and gambling.

Which is a fine use case. Those are very large and enduring sectors of the economy. But let’s not get confused about why things are as they are.

The issue I have with this is that if we aren't allowed to mine in the desert where there is one sensitive shrub, like Thacker Pass, then how are we ever supposed to mine anything ever again. It seems like the perfect place to mine with minimal destruction.

The other option is we never mine anything ever again and let countries with less environmental protections do the dirty work which is net worse for the environment.

Does anyone know more about this fasting process? E.g., how long do you have to fast for this process to kick in? (Books or links on the subject also appreciated!)

> If eating to slow ageing is your aim, Lawton only has one recommendation:s fasting. “There’s something called autophagy: if you deprive your body of nutrients for an extended period of time, your body has to find alternative sources of energy. So it finds loads of gubbins in your cells – bits of protein, old organelles, the cellular damage – and it burns them. It’s like cleaning out loads of old crap from inside you.” Fasting is associated with better metabolic health, and in animal experiments “has been tried on every conceivable animal from insects through to macaques, extending their lifespans by up to 50%”.

Not really sure what to think of this merger. They’re both has-beens. FDM printer space has changed quite a bit over the past decade and it’s decidedly DIY with Prusa dominating the space. And the fact that other, far more advanced, printing methods are available for cheap prices means that FDM will mostly remain DIY and niche.

I love this story. I wish it was easier to hire for that. I've had candidates that solidly passed my gut check but got vetoed on technical calls because of trivia. Our company has a format for interviews that has worked well for us but I'm positive we've lost out on potential because of where we set the bar. I go into every phone screen and interview with the intent to hire the person speaking with and I try to make that clear. I think this has done well for me and the candidates because we both have the same goal.

You seem very certain. Several of the links in that wall o' text are merely to surveys where a number of psychologists are asked whether they think IQ is a valid measure or not.

The reddit post just shows that some (maybe even a majority of) psychologists accept IQ. I could post an equal amount of links to psychology studies rejecting it.
But that doesn't even matter. What's more important is that the field of psychology as a whole is still in it's infancy as a science. Up until about the 90's almost 100% of it was pure bunk. Psychologists were using the DSM up until only a couple of years ago! Recently there has been the revelation of the reproducibility crisis. In short, psychology has a long way to go before it's on the same level as other sciences, I wouldn't be so certain of something from psychology's dark past like IQ.

Yeah Ukrainian army is one of the better equipped and manned army of NATO. Hell turkey is the second biggest NATO army after the US. Germany as a army is non existing reason why they need this $100 billion to bootstrap their rearmament program and the yearly 2% GDP to keep up to standards.
Crypto proof of work mining is actually one of the most renewable friendly sectors. Its mostly waste hydro, waste gas, etc being sought after. Its not perfect, but that is the trend.

You also have to compare it against what its competing against, all those fancy bank buildings with 24.7 lights and ac, the staff to mantain the paper trail (their commutes, etc), the vast security forces and militaries there to secure it (military being the largest polluter), etc.

From what I understand, the growth of the network, especially when it piggy backs on layer two networks like the lightning network for btc means 99% of the transactions can operate in a non proof of work method costing little more than the servers used to run a popular website.

Its still sooooo early. The tech will evolve and competition is fierce for the best solutions. So long we dont try to regulate it to death and protect the status quo, its going to evolve in ways we are yet to imagine.

Intelligent people will learn faster. Sometimes without explicit instruction. Just like those with intellectual disabilities, hyper-intelligent children also need special resources.

A lot of people want to keep the hyper-intelligent in the same classrooms as the normally-intelligent students as a form of child labor almost. The idea being that the hyper-intelligent children could inspire and help the normally-intelligent.

I always like to ask if they would also be amenable to allowing those students with intellectual disabilities in the general classrooms. And the answer is always no, because those students would slow down the classroom. And I ask why can't the normally-intelligent inspire and help the intellectually disabled. And they still don't get it.

The distance between the hyper-intelligent and the normally-intelligent is the same as that between the normally-intelligent and intellectually disabled. Any help the normally-intelligent may receive is undercut by the harm done to the hyper-intelligent.

They need special resources just as the other side of the spectrum does. But they often get less. And we often have to stretch the definition because while one intellectually disabled child would be enough to allocate resources for special instruction, you need at least 5 to 10 hyper-intelligent children before you're allowed to split them off for special instruction.

Intelligence is a trait, just like height. Some people are tall, some short, some average.

Sorry to break this too you but bitcoin would need to be banned by a serious amount of governments to have any real effect on energy consumption. This is by design. The wiser policy choice is to incentivize the large mining farms in your country to mine on renewables and let a digital gold exist.

The point of (good) cryptocurrencies is that they require real energy to coerce. Because of this I’ve felt safe keeping savings & transacting in bitcoin for years, I’m sorry that you don’t see that as valuable. Good luck with your ban, it isn’t smart.

Not at all, in fact modern society has added many new evolutionary pressures. E.g. by inventing birth control, society gave an evolutionary advantage to people who refuse to use birth control for religious reasons, or people whose biology is incompatible with birth control, e.g. a woman for whom the pill just doesn't work, is likely to have more children.

Super complicated, tried it several times over the years.

But nope..

It probably matters for a few of the slower ones, like Java, Go, or Dart. It's also going to matter on what platform. eg, Java may have better FFI on x86 than on ARM. Or similarly Dart's FFI may better on ARM than on x86, particularly given Flutter is the primary user these days.

And then to make it even more complicated it's also going to potentially depend on the GC being used. For example for Java's JNI it's actually the bookkeeping for the GC that takes the most time in that FFI transition (can't pause the thread to mark the stack for a concurrent GC when it's executing random C code, after all). Which is going to potentially depend on what the specific GC being used requires.
Ask HN: Fully Managed CI Platform
Hello Everyone,

I'v been working on a CI platform (https://githaxs.com) that is easier to use and provides more value.

Here are the problems I want to solve:

1. Wasted effort setting up the same tools at different companies on different platforms.

I am a DevOps Engineer and I quickly realized I was automating the same CI tools at different companies and on different platforms. Most companies want their code linted before merging and they use same tools. As a DevOps engineer I had to spend time setting up the same tooling across many repos and platforms (i.e. Circle, Jenkins, GitHub actions, etc) - which seemed like wasted effort. I wanted an easy way to select commonly used CI tools use them.

2. Make it easy to add new tools to your toolchain.

I recently went through the process of getting HITRUST certified at a company and we needed to add SAST to our CI tool chain. Adding a new tool required us to "take a lap" and update config files in hundreds of repos. I wanted a way to run tools on all or a subset of repos easily.

3. Lack of data in code review process

When I became a manager I wanted some insights into the code review process of my team. How long does it take for PRs to get their first review? last review? merge? There are other tools out there but they cost hundreds of dollars per seat.

4. Spend less time groking CI platform documentation.

I've spent many hours reading documentation/troubleshooting on CircleCI to understand their syntax and the best way to do things. Often times I found myself in situations where I would do the equivalent of throwing spaghetti against the wall - create a commit that I think will work, wait for the job to run X minutes later and rinse and repeat if it doesn't.

I would appreciate any feedback on the website, product idea, other problems you have faced that I haven't addressed.

Cheers!
I like the book Domain Driven Design by Eric Evans.

Also, pure functional programming and immutability have greatly influenced my design even in languages other than Haskell (my main language is Python).

Eric Evans also stresses the importance of immutability of what he calls Value Objects.
The data from the study has a giant elephant in the room: war. The participants are 18 year old Norwegians who were forced to take a military examination. The reason they do an IQ test is to evaluate if they are suited for a more analytic role, such as radar and comms. The peak result is for the birth year 1975, i.e. tests taken in 1993. During the cold war, a soviet attack was a real possibility, but that threat pretty much evaporated in the 90's. I did this exam in 1998 and the general vibe was pretty much: "why are we still doing this?" Few people took it seriously.
SDF is tons of fun, and good people. I wish I had more time to experiment with the systems and build my own space there, but anyone interested in preservation of the Old Ways of the Internet should certainly spin up a free account and see what's what.
No, PoW is the point of cryptocurrencies. PoS coins are not censorship resistant.
> The people certain it'll be a disaster seem just as silly as those certain it'll take over the world.

There you go. Some cryptocurrencies will survive once the regulatory framework is more clearer and settles in which will result in most the useless ones and non-compliant ones withering away.

That is the most likely outcome rather than the maximalists believing all of them succeeding or the skeptics like the one in this article believing all of them being destroyed. We've have examples like introducing KYC/AML checks for the exchanges, then unregistered ICOs were made illegal in the US (other countries to follow). It still did not put an end to crypto.

Next will be the exchanges delisting privacy coins and the likely regulation of stable-coins.

Evolution is not a precise tool, just because there are pressure doesn't mean it will manifest or even have a chance to manifest.

No guarantee that a genetic behavior that kills parent individual after raising their young will not affect other things before that. Especially 'raising the young' is an indeterminate period that are hard to biologically determine.

Contrast that with species that don't have to raise their young, most of them (insects, salmon, etc) die right after reproduction.

Inherited complex knowledge and human society did not form until a few thousand years ago, that is about 150 generations where we can say we are 'relatively' civilized and maybe 10 where we are industrialized. That is an awful short time for evolution to do anything. Coupled that with the complete change of selective pressure in modern society (most individuals are no longer under selective pressure, but personal and cultural choice affect child-bearing way more), it's hard to say where human evolution will lead.

That is what the average person thinks what happens but in reality the bank does not even care about your deposit. What actually happens is that the bank just creates a new money from thin air by just adding another zero their account and then transferring some of that new money to the person who wants a loan.

The US fed does this too, they add a zero at the end of the existing account and create more money. Its all in a database no cash is being printed.
