My can knows the names of all family members and can sometimes respond appropriately to "where's mom, go find mom". This is of course only if she wants something and came to me for it.
>The question is whether the practice of mining Bitcoin is work worth valuing for its own sake.

The same question is asked by any gold miner or oil driller. Depending on the price others are willing to pay, sometimes it's worth it and sometimes it's not. When a barrel of oil goes above $80 people want to start fracking again. When it's below that, they stop.

>Nobody is getting fed, housed, or clothed when mining cryptocurrencies, nor is it improving business productivity in some way.

This statement is just not true. Just as the mining of gold creates jobs for the miners, the equipment manufacturers, the logistics personnel, the security personnel, and allows those people to clothe house and feed their families, so it is with Bitcoin mining. Powerplants and the internet are built, operated and maintained by real people with families, you know.
"Don't fuck with me."

A bit salty in ordinary conversation. Several online translators agreed "Non futuis mecum" is an intelligible Latin equivalent. Though in conversation, probably less useful than Klingon or Navajo.
Uni's are different from a business.
I really have no idea what could even make sense. The cause I consider most likely is that they have a bias toward blocking new accounts, and only if you do display certain behaviours, will they not block you.
If resource usage was taxed appropriately we wouldn't waste so many resources for a quick buck. It's actually a very basic problem. Income is heavily taxed so companies avoid it in favor of resource extraction which is taxed much less.

Plastic feed stock is basically free, recycling requires a lot of labor (directly or indirectly) so the system favors disposable plastic.

Using energy for automation also lets companies avoid income taxation so there is this constant push to automate more and more.
To be fair, most of what comes out of a liberal's mouth is usually emotionally charged narrative-craft, and has no bearing on practical reality, and therefore can be safely ignored.
Oooops, OT (not what you thought (really) but once there were a time...)

Iraq was not a NATO operation, hence the term "coalition of the willing."
One large corp I worked at, agile was really just an excuse to use minimum viable products in production.

We were agile until this shitty software was in production and then we would move on to the next project.

That was literally what we were calling having a startup mindset.
I mean, $5 -> $6/mo is technically a 20% increase, but it's only because it's such a small amount to begin with.

I haven't checked their pricing in a while but I think the $5/mo droplet used to be 512m but is now 1G ram, right?

It sounds like there's also a $4/mo smaller droplet with 512m ram.
I wish HN was a “website with some of the smartest people on the planet” where some meant >1%. It's clearly not.

Perhaps people from the industry so people that share lingo, but most people here are definitely not “smart”.
No, it's only 20% on the basic droplets (which currently top out at $80/month), it looks like 5% on everything else.
Scanning the paper the effect seems surprisingly weak (and has p=0.045!) and weirdly dependent on family size (it looks as thought he difference only exists in larger families). While the results seem believable I'm not convinced by the results as presented.
Those "open standards" are often dictated by the whims of giants like Google. That's fine when the interests of buisnesses align with their clients, but a recent one that comes to mind is FLoC

Edit: I think this is why we have seen the emergence of standards like WebRTC, WebGL, etc. that enable "web apps", for better or for worse.
you can point MetaMask to a different RPC endpoint or your own local node. it is like suggesting BitTorrent is centralized tech because many users download torrents on a centralized website.

most NFTs (of value) are using IPFS or Arweave not a URL.
> This will eventually happen to the Fediverse too.

Oh, don’t worry, the Fediverse will never catch on.
Probably 5 VMs in total, one for each dev since they are 5 devs.
I don't understand where you're going with this. We already have a science of genetic history (which is what a lot of people sort of mean when they say race) that is based on whole genome sequencing. Medical images aren't going to help you much, except as a phenotypic readout. Also Im not sure why you want "racialists" getting published, there is nothing interesting going on scientifically.
Performance tests for bulk insert into SQLite memory database in Go
Runner who reads a lot about the sport here. Like another comment said, there isn’t really a consensus that any particular foot strike is better. Even pros have variation in foot strike when wearing very minimal racing spikes [1]. There’s some thinking that the thing to focus on is your cadence, and as long as it’s not too slow then your form should just naturally become whatever is most efficient for you (for some that actually is a heel strike or mid-foot strike). And it’s also worth noting that you naturally have different form at different speeds. The most useful variable for shoe choice is honestly whatever you find to be most comfortable.

With frontlighting, e-ink is similarly useful indoors or out. Alternatively, you could have an LED booklight or similar to illuminate the screen.

Refresh rates on e-ink are more than sufficient for text, and suffice for getting a general sense of video, though I wouldn't call that a high-level experience.

Scrolling and similar are a bit rough, though the general solution is to avoid doing that, and instead navigate through pagination --- a full page (or portion) at a time.
I don't agree, most points are false, or a misthought version of scrum is taken as a reference.
E.g. "minimal amount of work" doesn't mean that it must be cheap or rushed - it means that it has to satisfy the need of the stakeholder, whoever he is.
It's the team to evaluate the costs of each point, and the PO decision starts from there.
The product decisions taken by the PO are about needs, priority and value, not about implementation or experience.
And moreover, the "pride" in making your own code part... that's where the author totally misses the point. The main shift of agile is mindset, the shift from "I did it so I know it and I take pride from it" to "WE did it, so WE know it as a team and WE take pride of it".
If you're not ok with the sharing, please go back to waterfall.
React + Typescript. Forgot to mention it’s open source so you can see for yourself:

Avoid exception throwing in most code. It's not a good error handling mechanism.

Adjust the function signature so that the data types reflect the opportunity for a failed operation or failed input state. For example, Either monad (most languages). Or you can build one manually with a struct (C) or tuple (Go).
You can get a dedicated xeon + 64GB DDR if that's enough for $50/mo (random google: https://www.binaryracks.com/dedicated-bargain/#plans ). Maybe just put the NLP part on a couple of those.

But it sounds like your boss has the idea cloud is where it's at, it's hard to shift. I'd put numbers on it like how many less connections the cloud he wants to pay for can handle, vs the hosted solution for less $$$.
The battle between cheaper hardware and inflation was something I found interesting and wondered which would affect prices first. I personally won't change anything, I'll pay the extra $1 a month for my cheap droplet to not have to move anything. DO's big selling point to me (as a hobbyist) was the simplicity. Now that I work with AWS every day, I feel very comfortable getting some basic infra set up, but I still really like DO's smooth setup.

It's a shame they had to do it. I wonder how difficult it is to compete with all the big providers? They still fit my use case just fine (still a big cheaper than the AWS equivalent too I think, but maybe not) and I'm fortunate to not be in a situation where the extra dollars are a deal breaker.
One of the big differences between a startup and a big company is that big companies have to make decisions about what to build. For a smaller company that decisions is already made. It’s the reason for the existence of the smaller company.

And the cost of making the wrong decision can be extremely high and it can be hard to both identify that it is the wrong decision and to reverse it.

With smaller companies if they make the wrong decision they will simply cease to exist, but in a larger company some other product (the one that made the company large in the first place) will cover for it.

This isn’t to excuse inefficient practices, but the idea that 100% efficiency (as defined by coding 100% of the time) or even a very high coding throughput is an unmitigated good is not really valid.
Also, conserve your executive function by taking life short cuts. Let go of trying to help the environment and use paper plates, plastic cups, and forks--it sucks, but you need this buffer. Prepared food are your friend.. Use melatonin to get regular scheduled sleep. Limit your pets to low maintenance like cats/fish if you can. Pay as many of your bills automatically, if you can. Set up your medicine/supplement stack at the beginning of the week with those tiny dollar store plastic tupperware containers,2x1x1 ish inches. All day brain focus has a couple of good supplements like phosphatidlserine/choline and dmae. Look into racetams if you can find them. Make sure you are getting enough b12 and d3. Look at patches, Creams. or shots if you don't absorb b12 well. Your doctor can help with everything except some nootropics unless you live in a country where racetams are prescription--in which case I envy you.
They are however the entity most capable of actually accessing the data for nefarious purposes.
Any other entity would need to go through the hoster first, which means either mounting a physical attack on the actual data center or compromising their systems to gain access.

However with dedicated servers the next step is more complicated for both the hoster and the potential other attackers, since the only chance they have here is to catch the key material during reboots, which is quite a bit more noisy than silently extracting the key from ram of a running VM (especially since they would need to mirror the disks or other complications to have access at the same time as you are using the machine).

If it's a colocated machine (or if the hoster trusts you enough with their dedicated machines) one can use TPM/Secure Boot to make the MITM attack very very difficult (since one can use something like dropbear to have an encrypted and authenticated connection to enter the encryption credentials and TPM/Secureboot can prevent manipulation of the bootloader).
I have no idea what Amazon's software development culture is like, only that they treat their warehouse employees like shit.
What is the value proposition of web3 to the user?

JS web apps offloaded the compute and memory onto the browser/client,
web3 to offload storage costs onto the user.

You will up pay for every click. web3 and metaverse feels so dystopian. but the young generations that were raised by tiktok will probably accept it.
Something somewhat similar is Blik in Poland. Free and instant transactions: user to user, online, ATM, ground terminals. Primarily based on short-term one-time codes generated in your banking app.

In 2021 alone, it had 21.5M active users and it facilitated 758M transactions. Polish National Bank (Polish counterpart of the Fed) reported that in 2019, online transactions using Blik have surpassed in volume online payments using credit cards.

I think it's less about pure suitability, and more about availability.

If I write a Bash script, I can be reasonably certain it will run on any unixoid system that came out in the last years. With Python, I am now in version hell (it's ridiculous how many Python2-first-servers I still find), I'll run the risk of includes suddenly becoming incompatible or buggy.

Can Bash do everything that Python can? Almost certainly not. But it is available, it is relatively simple (and almost minimalistic), and it forces you to learn more about standard unix tools.

Your specific use case ... well, I think that's pretty unusual - I'd wager if you had avoided the parallel processing and done it in a more linear way, you've had a better time.
Because it's artificially held high by Russian central bank. That's why Russians are not allowed to buy USD or gold.

> India in particular is insisting on their right to build more coal plants and ramp up the amount of fossil fuels they burn over the next decade. The sense of urgency is a bit lacking over there. They feel entitled to helping destroy our planet. And you could argue it would be fair given other countries have done their part and continue doing so. But it's our planet. Let's stop destroying it instead.

Western countries developed through the use of fossile fuels, and contributed to most of the carbon dioxide currently in the atmosphere, as well as increase in global temperature. We also have most of the world’s wealth. If we want to stop destroying the planet, then a good way to do it would be to pay India and China to stop using fossile fuels.

India is not a developed nation. Other developed nations developed through exploiting it. If a zero carbon technology were cheaper, then of course they would use it, but by and large right now most are more expensive. Western countries can afford to buy the technologies by adjusting for future externalities, but for India the extra money could very literally be the difference between life and death for a large section of the population.

If we want to save the planet so badly, surely we can afford to pay them to decarbonise as well.
Sure! It’s P2P, but doesn’t need centralized certificate authorities (= Has some Sybil resistance)
How many places show a difference in their prices? How often to restaurants, stores, and other as a service companies doing that? I almost never see it. I wouldn't say they are doing something deliberate (in a negative sense). They are doing something pretty typical.

P2P is a big component of blockchains. The "expensive" part is competition for the limited capacity in global consensus (block space), which is necessary if you want to interact with global systems that deal with high value objects.

Blockchains can't exist without P2P, but P2P is not sufficient. There are plenty of use cases that require global consensus, and that part is expensive.
Well that shows how well I read the original article. Thanks for the correction.
In nature, cats form colonies where they take communal care of the young, old and infirm. One of the core behaviors of cats is hunting and providing for colony members who are too weak to do so.

Cats being "solitary" animals is largely a misunderstanding of cat behavior towards humans due to cat affection being expressed differently than dog affection.
If you like vim mode, the zle vim mode is more complete than readline's, it can handle test objects for example. That's a small thing but that's nice.
Prompt config is also quicker/easier to remember. Small things do add up.
Where I've worked, we would use Jenkins for "Continuous Delivery" but then require upper management signoff for every single damn change.

"We don't have time to test" -> Production poopfires -> "We need an out of band code review process"

Interesting. While it doesn’t seem that unreasonable, this change would really add up if you already had a lot of droplets, and I kind of did. I suppose it’s good luck that I’ve been migrating workloads to Fly lately. Maybe I should finish the job.

To be fair, once you pass the Fly free tier, I can only guess it is more expensive, but in my case it’s made up for by being able to do much smaller VMs. Digital Ocean’s a bit more limited on how you can cut up memory and disk space (and the dynamics of k3s or kubernetes at this scale is awkward.)

The amount of energy and time spent on “politics” or “bickering over petty issues” is usually highly overstated by bloggers.

It’s easy to understand why. The 15 minutes spent bickering over the color of a button will be far more likely to leave an impression and remembered vs the 90 mins spent on ordinary, necessary and useful discussions in the same meeting.

Uh, that's a service locator with an annotation processor to discover injectable targets. It's far from being state of the art. It's like Koin, except slightly less manual. A far cry from automatically discovered injection
I don't think that's right. Using decentralized protocols doesn't necessarily imply decentralized authority or use of those protocols. Skype used to be P2P, and the mothership would still push updates to end users to ensure everyone was using the correct protocol. Decentralized protocols do create some technical challenges, but they also alleviate others (scaling, for example).

Even when that's not the case, like with bittorrent, there's tons of innovation. DHT Protocol, for example, was a game changer.
"Harmfullness" of MacDo is a common meme but in fact there is hard to find anything harmful there except of cola.

Wikipedia, maybe?

The greater problem of curation is that it doesn't scale, and you need immense human effort to survey and curate both the breadth of questions -- what's a good table saw? what aspects of Egyptian culture were exported back to Greece?
is HDPE plastic safe? give me some punk music. -- and also the breadth of answers, both every website and every type of table saw.

The lesser is that you cannot curate without introducing a voice, a set of preferences that may not be universal. Tastes are not universal, you can't recommend the same band for everyone. Resources are not universal, regardless of whether the $10000 table saw is more than 100x better than the $100 table saw, it's just out of reach of most people. And needs aren't universal -- a professional cabinet maker and a DIYer making a chicken coop don't need the same saw.

There's a set of priors behind every query, and you either need to get users to frame their queries in a way that captures all of the relevant priors, or you need to create a variety of voices that capture different sets of priors and curate answers appropriate to that voice. Are you asking Norm Abrams, Monica Mangin, or Shane Wighton for a recommendation on a table saw?

I have definitely noticed that. The cat I had growing up we had a close bond. He stayed with my parents though when I moved out. Any time I was coming to visit my parents would mention my name and he would perk up. I don't think it is tied to anything I gave him because I wasn't really taking care of him, I was rarely the one that fed him. He just slept on my bed and we spent a lot of time together.

So there has to be some understanding there of... something. I am curious what they internalize it as.

On the flip side I have to wonder. I live alone. My cats have very rarely actually heard my name. I would be very surprised if they had any concept of what my name was. But if they don't, do they think something different. It is interesting.
