Not the point; a digital asset is not comparable to a physical asset; the image the nft points to is the same bytes as the image he gave that image to others to prove a point. There is nothing at all fake about the second image; it is the same image. And in this case it was even the actual same link from the nft I think which is even better. There is no notion of fake in digital; you copy something and you have it, identical to the what you copied it from. This does not apply to Rolexes and calling it fake makes no sense and it’s a bad example that doesn’t educate people; people who might have ‘invested’ into nfts but don’t know any tech might think ‘but I have the real Rolex, so it does work!’. And that would be a bad and wrong interpretation of the facts.
> The most knowledgeable and experienced technical staff should be making those decisions.

Aren't such individuals the engineer managers themselves, though? Usually, engineer managers have years of experience doing engineering, while the team they are in charge of, is composed of juniors and seniors who have less years of experience than the manager.
But it's a self reinforcing story. The two quarters idea is strong, if it happens all the papers will declare a recession and everyone who doesn't normally keep an eye on the economy will think it's a recession. Some of those will be managers who will decide to cut spending.
US Narrows Scope of Anti-Hacking Law Long Hated by Critics
Important to note that you can only borrow it with greater value of collateral (in the form of other crypto assets).

If you want to borrow $100m USDC, you need to post $100m of something else (e.g. BTC), which can then be liquidated if the value changes.

There is definitely a case for this (financial speculation, aka shorting one asset by borrowing and selling it), but I think the largest "legitimate" (not tied to hacking, or ransomware) case that's also not speculative (shorting or decentralized leveraging) is simply to avoid a big tax bill.

In other words if you bought a few thousand BTC 10 years ago and never sold, you don't have to pay capital gains in many jurisdictions if you just use it as collateral to borrow USDC.

Personally I'd be happy to pay taxes on a massive windfall like that (and also wouldn't want to hold BTC long-term due to the environmental effects)

But there are (unfortunately, in my opinion) a lot of anti-government, sovereign citizens, and libertarian types in the crypto space as well.

CNN tweeted that an automated system identified them as verified by mistake
They don't even have to be hardcoded, they just have to ignore anything you specify or not give you any option to specify your own. As long as a device manufacturer can push updates to your device (even by IP address) they can regularly update their chosen DNS servers when needed. Honestly though, for many devices I doubt they'd even bother. Companies seem to have little trouble taking the position that if your device is more than a few years old you're insane for expecting them to still support it and you should have already thrown it away and bought another one.
My understanding (of course it could easily be wrong, always verify this stuff) is that it's actively suppressed in the 'dormancy' stage, and it's more an almost inevitable failure of suppression that allows it to stop being 'dormant' so to speak.
I'm theory, I'd say me too, but in practice, I find that Justine's posts give me a stronger dopamine fix, what with the increased posting frequency and the exposed thought process, and a hefty dosage of tryptamine with the Lisp + Assembly psychedelia.

So...money laundering.
> the asset can still be repurposed for another game

Can it? NFTs don't confer copyright, there are all sorts of issues with that. If the original company goes under, rights to its assets are likely to be part of either acquisition or bankruptcy proceedings.
I see. I eat meat and I know about the issues (health wise and environmentally). I’m trending towards less, largely for health reasons.

My ideal world (in my head) is that human beings don’t interfere with animals at all (to eat, as pets, to showcase). We should interfere in only cases where it’s critical (like a natural disaster treating animals).

Is there a word for this viewpoint?
We have many blockchains because people are idiots. They will all fail in time.

This appears to be good however recent events showing the deconstruction of prior precedents and other policies not directly implemented by laws raise a tangible concern.

It would not be surprising if some bored prosecutor with a grudge attempts to throw this out the window. In addition litigation by private-companies using the same laws could attempt to win by the virtue of having better funding and/or lawyers than the defendant.

Too cynical? Maybe.
Also, it's hard to be impressed by "web3" if every "web3" app is just moving cryptocurrency around.
> I have a hard time accepting this, because I have done exactly this, in practice, with languages that I've designed.

I don't know which your languages are.

Some constructs are incompatible with optional semicolons, as semicolons change the expression semantics (I've given an example); comparison with languages that don't support such constructs is an apple-to-oranges comparison.

An apple-to-apple comparison is probably with Ruby, which does have optional semicolons and is also expression oriented at the same time. In the if/else specific case, it solves the problem by introducing inconsistency, in the empty statement, making it semantically ambiguous.
This is literally the stupidest thing I have heard all day. Let me sum up this idiotic comment.

1. Millions protested against all the invasions by various countries.

2. Because they protested, but were ignored they can't be against this one also?

No one is falling for your whataboutism. It is terrible when counties invade others regardless of who is doing the invasion.

Stop being such a terrible sock-puppet.

> all the wrong characteristics for locatability of source

Glad I'm not the only one who has noticed this, I thought I was going crazy because in the majority of cases when I'm behind the wheel and I start hearing an ambulance siren I can't honestly tell from where it is coming from. I'm kind of aware of the general area, like it's coming from that general part, or that other general part, but I'm never sure until I actually can see the ambulance itself.
> the cost of calling an empty function can be as high as 14 cycles of overhead per function call

How do you figure? Call and ret should be just a couple of cycles each. And they run in parallel, so if you were waiting for a memory access or otherwise didn't have anything better to do, the overhead is even less.
In this context it means ''to suck in', 'to absorb'
I can't see how that is desirable in the slightest. People who like to play with trading card games don't enjoy the artificial scarcity part, they accept it as a necessary evil enforced to them by the manufacturer. I don't think any Magic the Gathering player enjoys telling their friend how expensive it is to get into (all of my friends play Pauper even if they own fetchlands, fwiw)
Plastic requires extraction and process of petrol which is neither clean nor energy efficient, it also requires heat to extrude and cooling to set and release from molding. Plastics have also contributed greatly to a disposable approach to consumer products instead of durable or reusable. Lastly plastics are highly detrimental to the environment as they as and breakdown into smaller plastics that contaminate the food chain. To call them lifesaving is a farce.

Show HN: Mapping Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to Job Opportunities
Just compare games made for ZX Spectrum, or old DOS games with games made for PCs today. The modern games are huge texture decompressors.
On Spectrum you had to use every pixel on the screen even when it was not individually addressable. On modern PCs you use jpeg textures.
On Spectrum if you skip some CPU cycles your game will struggle. On modern games you wait hours for the game to update.
Who on earth is going to put ownership of game items on a blockchain?

There's a huge difference between "I own a level 28 sword of whacking in this game" and "I own the copyright to this level 28 sword of whacking and all the art-assets related to it".

I can't see many game designers selling the copyrights along with their fancy outfits, frankly.
Whose system? CNN's?

The claim is that CNN forged the verified mark in the supposed screenshot. "But they thought they should" is not a defense.
I was impressed that back in the Bloomberg era, NYC allowed citizens to report and equipped police/civil agencies to act on noise complaints. Living in a city with noise is already tough. Plus, there was a story lately about citizen monitoring of idling truck emissions with a bounty on them. Seems NYC is more assertive about this stuff.

According to the article above, Linux pre-5.18 will mostly choose P(erformance) cores.

On a desktop context, this may go unnoticed (so, in your cases like yours, it's not a problem at all), however, in a laptop, it will make the CPU inefficient, defeating the point of the Alder Lake design.

no.

Hey Bill, what do you think about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies?

I don't own any. I like investing in things that have valuable output. The value of companies is based on how they make great products. The value of crypto is just what some other person decides someone else will pay for it so not adding to society like other investments.
Linux to Introduce the Ability to Set the Hostname Before Userspace Starts
It's just funny because because they are going to de-carbonize with something that is pure carbon ;) In a way they could also say they are going to carbonize construction... But I get it of course, today if you say you're going to use crypto, it's not the same meaning as 10 years ago. In the Netherlands we have a "Nitrogen crisis", at first one is baffled as the air is 78% Nitrogen... Turns out they mean bound Nitrogen in the soil. I guess as a purist one could also be slightly annoyed when Corona virus is used to mean Covid19 or the actual virus (SARS-CoV-2).

I guess all these example could be the basis for nerdy in-jokes. For example, because of poor naming conventions we are in the situation where the solution to THE Corona virus could be A Corona virus. Just speculating (actually less lethal strains are perhaps the solution).

this is why i say CC0 licensed assets and why the game and publisher has to embrace decentralization. also why this type of usage will be niche and apply to a specific type of game genre.

CC-NC license also sorta works but not as well.. assets can then be repurposed for non commercial uses only.

other licenses should be developed to operate specifically on these kinds of problems. some projects are already exploring this like BAYC licensing token owners more rights.
>PSP is intentionally designed to meet the requirements of large-scale data-center traffic. It does not mandate a specific key exchange protocol

I take that to mean you do the asymmetric key stuff outside of PSP, then the symmetric key stuff is offloaded to PSP. Assuming you send a lot of data per connection, the symmetric key part will be much larger, so the expensive part is offloaded.
You're right, I didn't realize they fired quite that many (31?!) BES-5s into space and those are really the only non-experimental ones. Still, the chances of one of those falling out of orbit as a functioning reactor are about nil.
Not the OP, but noise-induced stress situations can make you feel and believe in really nasty things in that particular moment, things that otherwise one would hold as being very bad.

For example I often think of throwing some tomatoes or potatoes on the heads of the motorcycle guys who are doing their thing at 12 at night just in front of our block of apartments when summer comes (I live on the 8th floor). I know that that is illegal and that, most probably, doing that gesture could cause bodily harm to those motorcycle riders, but given the situation (lots and lots of noise that invades my personal space) that's the only thing that I can honestly think of at that particular moment.

I'm European, btw, and we live in Bucharest close to one of the busiest and nosiest intersections in this city (and, I dare say, on this continent, as Bucharest is one of most traffic congested cities in Europe).
If this weren't HackerNews, where sarcasm is heavily discouraged, I'd assume that you were being very sarcastic. But since this is HackerNews, I'm confused.

I mean, surely anyone who knows anything about blockchains would be aware that the long-term plans, even among traditionalists, would involve an ecosystem of interacting chains. And then presumably folks with some level of technical understanding realize that even a singular ecosystem's overly naive. I doubt few people actually believe in Bitcoin-maximalism, outside of memetic-humor. ...right?

Sorry, I'm still confused about junk like flat-Earthers. I mean, I've known flat-Earthers who were straight-up committed trolls; they were committed to the bit and would actingly-angrily denounce the round-Earth conspiracy, but they most definitely didn't actually believe that Earth was flat. But.. other folks.. it was harder to tell; were they even more committed, or did they actually believe that Earth was flat? Anyway, a lot of blockchain-stuff's similar -- I get that a lot of folks are trolling, but are there really true-believers who're legitimately sincere?
> Would be nice if everything cost 3% less

Eh, the fees on cards are a bit of a myth. Not that they don't exist, but their impact. Particularly in IRL transactions. Sure, a cash transaction doesn't cost the merchant 3% straight off, but it does pile on extra banking costs, extra security costs, extra staff time to handle cash etc.

But sure, it would be nice to have a cheaper way with similar guarantees for online transactions. The alternative is usually bank transfers, but with those, if you get defrauded it's on you, so I quite like CCs for that.

Also in a lot of countries fees are capped way lower than 3%...
The trick is to avoid long living references as much as possible. You need to unlearn the Java/JS/Python style where everything is a reference. In Rust you should default to value (fully owned) types and move semantics and use references for temporary borrows only. Think about cloning first when you need the data in more than one place, before considering references.

It is surprising how far you can get with that approach without ever writing a sigle lifetime annotation.
If they don't like sending those 30KB for jQuery, why are they sending 60KB of pretty plain-looking fonts?
Yes. It can take up to a decade for AIDS to develop after infection. The number of viral particles in the blood will peak shortly after infection, and it can cause flu-like symptoms for a week or so. And then the immune system will ramp up and it's almost fully suppressed. But some T4 cells have been hijacked and are spitting out HIV which is hijacking other T4 cells. This requires destroying the infected T4 cells. And a war of attrition and cumulative damage of a long inflammatory response eventually leads to increasing failure in that suppression. (Same caveats apply to my understanding.)
> Their strategy seems to be "throw graphene at anything and hope for the best".

This is basically science, backed by some know-how of what possibly may happen.
I think basically everyone aside from the most devout nihilists assign more value to a copy of photograph signed by the artist than a non-signed copy.

It's literally just a digital equivalent.
I was one of the top developers at my previous job and recently took an architecture role at a new company where I spend most of my days improving processes and mentoring other engineers. I guess you could say I'm pretty lonely here, but it really doesn't bothered me at all. Sharing knowledge and mentoring has really given me new a new insight into my career and I really love what I do here! So, become a mentor either at your current place or elsewhere. It might surprise you.
You've obviously studied this, but having actually lived in a city center police sirens are actually fairly rare. Despite what you say they rarely sound them at night unless they really have a need, at least in Nottingham.

Much worse for causing often unexpected and very grating noise were:

1. Bin men, especially now they collect glass

2. Diesel black cabs having to put their foot down to get up a hill

3. Taxis idling outside your window waiting for a pickup or just waiting for their next dispatch on double yellows in middle of night

4. Scaffolding being put up or taken down. Incredibly noisy, actually has to be done fairly regularly, many companies illegally do this at the weekend in the early morning as it's a part time job for them

5. Skateboarders, one of the most anti-social hobbies for everyone else around them [1]

I lived on a bit of a hill, which caused 2 and attracted 5.

Since moving to a village again my sleep quality improved overnight. I didn't realize quite how badly it was affecting me.

[1] As it seems to be causing confusion, the anti-social behaviour is against non-skateboarders "Environmental antisocial behaviour is when a person’s actions affect the wider environment, such as public spaces or buildings." https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/asb/...
I know it's popular to be a millennial on HN and demand instant gratification of our short attention spans. But 20 years really is nothing for developments like this.

The article actually mentions a company called Levidian. Apparently, they produce thousands of tonnes of graphene per year already. I'm sure they are not the only one. Somebody is buying that stuff and using it for something. A core usecase for this company seems to be carbon capture. The founders of this company were involved with the ground breaking research that lead to discovering how to produce graphene.

Also, that's less than 20 years ago. They were messing around with sticky tape and graphite in 2004. The people that did that got their Nobel price in 2010. From there to thousands of tonnes produced per year in the space of 18 years is actually kind of impressive.

>A PSP packet starts with the original IP header, followed by a UDP header on a prespecified destination port, followed by a PSP header containing the PSP information, followed by the original TCP/UDP packet

So it looks like the inner data can be either TCP or UDP. So you have the option of making it reliable or not.
I can relate, not necessarily as a software developer, but as someone who recently completed a PhD in natural sciences.

When working on something niche for a couple of years, it is natural that you become a specialist of some sort in your daily environment. This why in academia there are conferences and workshops where such specialists can gather and exchange ideas. It seems to me like you are passing up on opportunities to socialize outside of your day-to-day. Why not look up an event that might challenge you and ask your boss if you can participate? There is always room for improvement and companies should support that.
The comment hits hard tbh, and I think it applies to any creative endeavour – even coding to an extent when you're new to a domain.
It's just bizarre that we allow cars and motorcycles to produce so much more noise than needed.
Can you show your data? While noise pollution is self-evidently unpleasant, not providing numbers when claiming a connection between heart disease to, well, anything at all, seems a bit... lax.
Really proves the point that knowledge will atrophy. As a dev you need to invest in evergreen skills as well as trivia.
I think this is the real difficulty. Most people don't handle negative feedback all that well, and that's pretty much all people are going to come to you with.
Of course you are right and hundreds of such tools exist. The only reason we are talking about m4 here is that is basically everywhere for legacy reasons.
This doesn't seem useful based on what I know about LiIon batteries: they don't benefit from partial charges, since their capacity loss comes from discharge behaviour.
