I still don't see the prerogative for bitcoin. Yes, most industrial processes are inefficient and we can and should reclaim lost energy. There are many ways to do this, and many purposes. Charging batteries seems the most reasonable: making the energy stable and portable.

Admittedly I don't know much about battery efficiency, so there may be other more efficient uses. Hydroponics lighting?

Where "waste energy" is difficult to access and available only in trickles, it's surely very unsuitable for bitcoin mining, which is energy intensive.

Frankly, there are far more pressing issues than making more bitcoin.
I love this channel very much.
Have you thought about, or are you already involved in interviewing new developers for the company?

It sounds like you might already have a nose for what makes a good dev (i.e. somebody who holds the same values as you) It's a great way to influence the company culture, and get good co-workers, which can also de-stress you as you now have fellow travelers whom you can trust with tasks.

It's also fun, sometimes humbling but always interesting!
I use you.com. Best of the few I've tried. Can you please align the cards to be in the same row ? If you look up "access database spring" you'll see what I mean, 2 large empty rows with one result each that should be combined.

Any chance of business detail cards like google has (hours, map, address, reviews)?

> what I cannot believe is that even after Guarulhos was expanded there was some talks about shutting down Congonhas that never materialised, even though it would be a massive improvement for the city both regarding noise and land-use...

The logic here:

1. Move to a property immediately near an airport

2. Notice there is aircraft noise near that airport

3. Complain about the aircraft noise

4. Demand the 80+ year old airport be shut down because the noise is a problem for you

5. Incredulity that the municipality won't shut down an airport because it annoys you

It's like shooting yourself in the foot and suing the shoe manufacturer for not being bullet resistant.
I do have a laptop with one of those early intel/AMD 6000 series dual GPU laptops, I remember setting up GPU drivers for it (AMD GPU) used to be troublesome but nowadays even Ubuntu sets it up by default and the devices could be switched with just DRI_PRIME.

But of course the performance is awful and intel GPU is better for most tasks; Newer AMD GPU and open-source drivers are likely much better as you say.
Sounds like a new Orient Express, I wish them all the best. I know several overnight train connections, and I usually use them when they're available. It's nice when you're going on vacation, bit of an experience in itself, and you save a night in the hotel. But it can be a bit tricky actually getting to sleep, I once used it to go to a conference and ended up being very tired on the first day. And those are nowhere near as luxurious as on those pictures, much more like regular trains cabins with seats that can be converted to beds.
Probably the thread should be renamed “The loneliness of being an asshole!”

> I feel that if you live in a city you either understand that it's going to be somewhat noisy or you'll go insane...

As a person who lives at the heart of the city, you can't believe how silent it can be.

Also a modern car cruising down the street is arguably less noisy than a hard wheeled skateboard going on concrete.
There’s no reason we should enter a recession in the next 3-6 months…

One of my favorite channels on YT. There are many channels who try to explain similar topics, but PBS Spacetime is among the top 3 in how it engages the viewer and keeps them interested while explaining in (relatively (no pun intended)) simple terms.
It never ‘led to’. That just happens to be the publicly communicated reason; RSS had to go for strategic reasons.

Why are you convinced you weren't legitimately downvoted? It's an old conspiracy that you're pushing and it doesn't have a lot of traction.
I'm not familiar with the full details, but GIN indeed has some issues that make it difficult to make presorting expensive:

It has a guarantee of only one item in the tree for each key. All table rows that share that key are stored under that one item, as one large value. This value can thus become really large (and is stored as a subtree in such cases).

To sort these tuples, you can either implement that as 'merge key/value pairs when keys are equal during the sort phase' or 'merge key/value pairs when keys are equal during the index load phase'.

The first requires handling of arbitrarily large KV pairs (potentially larger than the normal page size, which indexes generally don't handle well) and losing sort elements during the sort (due to merges of values, I'm not sure sort algorithms can work with that).

The second requires a significantly larger temporary space to store the temporary data (potentially several times the size of the original data).

Additionally, someone must first find this enough of an issue to try to fix this, and apparently nobody has yet thought it to be enough of an issue to take a stab at it.
I have a 4 year old Macbook. Does that count?

I'd look to mobile applications for inspiration, as they have many of the same constraints as desktop applications do.

In the mobile space, MVVM is pretty popular.
Me too. I've even activated Firefox's strict cookie mode and still can use it fine (except that cookie banner, but a custom filter removed that one). Either an A/B test (but I don't see anyone else complaining...) or more likely user error.

> the official mobile app has become the overwhelming way that people consume the site's content

By virtue of them making it unpleasant to use the site on a mobile device other ways.

Of course “most people using Reddit on mobile do so via the app” masks the fact that a fair few, including myself, simply no longer use Reddit on mobile at all. Though I assume we are a small enough minority that they don't care about losing us in the push to force the rest towards the app.
Looks nice. Does the device run hot while its stuck inside the "robots" enclosure?

Maybe they have skateboard and dont have cruiser/longboard. Or they were doing tricks and are coming back on the thing they had with them.
Similarly, we have cars (generally C class and above) which have an engine noise akin to a silent hiss and hum, even while cruising at city speeds.

These cars are silencer than skateboards on parks or pavements.

Maybe you've had some good experiences, just seen people skating at a crowded park, and sound didn't feel piercing?
Matt and his team are doing such a great job.The visuals are great and the music is alway on point! Also, when I'm stressed out, I can watch an episode and my mind calms down again. Thank you guys!
> you seem to say that duck typing is a bad thing

C++ didn't have any other practical choice here.

But this introduced another case where C++ has a "false positive for the question: is this a program?" as somebody (Chandler Carruth maybe?) has put it. If something satisfies a Concept, but does not model the Concept then the C++ program is not well formed and no diagnostic is required.

> how so ?

I provided an explanation with an example, and you elided both.

> the documentation having to state "t can be logged" would just be useless noise and a definite no-pass in code review aha

In which case it's your responsibility to ensure you can log this, which of course CanBlah didn't express.

> similar subtyping implementation

The only place Rust has subtyping is lifetimes, so that &'static Foo can substitute for any &'a Foo and I don't think that's what you're getting at.
Other than a bluetooth speaker I use in the shower I don't consider bluetooth reliable technology. Any bluetooth earbuds I had were triple the cost of wired ones that I usually use, they were worse quality, battery died much sooner than I manage to mess up the jack on wired ones. Additionally not being able to have my phone in my pocket while I walk and listen to music on bluetooth headphones in winter was a no-go for me. I went back to wired and I never looked back.
That's fair. It would've been nice to have syntax for fixed-width blocks.
The default mobile webpage is unusable. Why do they want to drive users off the website?
I think the shallow angle is unlikely since all horizont speed is not going to be compensated by anything, once it's gone by air friction, it's gone. Whereas vertical speed is helped by gravity. It of course depends on the initial velocity, but I doubt it's high enough for it to be an issue.
Most trucks and vans can take most speed bumps at the speed limit (which is usually 25 or less anywhere there's speed bumps in the first place) with no ill effects other than accelerated wear and tear if the driver is so inclined...
PBS SpaceTime is easily one of my favorite channels on any platform.
Mtgo have limited supply, and even my old splinter twin which were my favorite cards in the world 10 years ago i don't care about. Paper assets are different than digital ones I think. Especially if you only pay for it and didn't work on them.
I was writing from the perspective of the debt-holder, that if you have expensive unsecured debt (and many poorer householders do), then as bills rise there is less disposable income to work with, debt payments eat a larger portion of outgoings and consequently is detrimental to quality of life.

If debt is not at a fixed interest rate then there's also the risk of interest rates going up, which we're seeing now. Theoretically a recession might help cap that, but it's a big gamble - an interest rate rise of, say, 5% would see an incredible amount of foreclosures. In the UK in the 80s, the interest rate topped 18% during a major recession and period of intense civil unrest.
There was significant and critical discussion about that yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31431224
Best contextualized recommendation of the morning. TY.
With Bitcoin, the narrative is that it goes up after every halving cycle.

Will confidence shatter completely if it doesn't go up in the next cycle?

Hard to tell. Important to remember that BTC has only existed in an easy monetary environment. Will risk assets like this still go up if there is no cheap money available?

I appreciate the core ideas behind it and I've profited a lot from crypto. But I don't know if the narrative can hold true in a tight monetary environment
A couple of months back there was a post from someone who made a presentation about a lot of things that are 'bad' in postgres (mostly performance-wise) and a github repo that tried to fix that (in first instance with patches and the idea was to later have it either upstreamed or as an addon).

I can't find anything of this effort anymore. Does someone know what I'm talking about and what the current status of that is?

I'd have thought the person who calls someone a dickhead just for having a different opinion is the real dickhead. People like you would have been cheering for Galileo being burned alive for daring to suggest the Earth revolves around the sun.
> they are different means of transportation, for different purposes.

Most people I know mainly use their car to get to work and back home.
This is a need that could likely be fulfilled by an E-Bike just as well, unless the route is unreasonably long.

so while the initial statement is true, the conclusion you drew from it is false -- at least from the perspective of society.
I think Tracealyzer does some of this kind of thing for logging embedded control flow in a way that's ultra compact but requires significant post processing after the trace has been recovered.

It's a commercial product but in my usage/experience worth every penny: https://www.highintegritysystems.com/tools/tracealyzer/
>Tolerance for noise decreases as the median age increases

I think this is only true above a certain income threshold.

You need to have paid away a bunch of other more pressing problems before you have spare fucks to give about the kind of noise other people are making (except in the most egregious cases).

That's a smart way to do it and it certainly would have made things easier. I'm a big fan of the UNIX philosophy of small simple programs. But please consider that this facility is also used for ShowCrashReports() which prints a backtrace upon a SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, etc. When a crash spontaneously happens, it's not always easy or possible to run it again piped into an addr2line-like tool. It makes life simpler to have reporting facilities baked into each binary, and a lot of effort went into making it lightweight. Right now life.com (i.e. exit(42)) in the default build mode is 68kb (although it's 12kb in MODE=tiny) and that includes --ftrace, --strace, support for six operating systems and it embeds an operating system in each binary too, so it can run on autonomously on metal.

I never said they used the inline keyword, you inferred that. If you look at the diff, they mark the fuctions as `pg_attribute_always_inline` which expands to __forceinline or __attribute__((always_inline)) inline depending on your compiler. These specifiers will remove any of the compilers heurestics [0].

> I don't understand what you're disappointed at, this all seems very reasonable.

I'm disappointed by the fact that we're still manually overriding compiler heuristics and manually writing faux copy-pasted generics for performance, when this is a solved problem in so many other languages.

EDIT: I would _love_ to see some benchmarks without the pg_attribute_always_inline to see whether forcibly inlining the code is even necessary. In my (extended) experience with optimising C++ code, leaning on __forceinline is unnecessary in the vast vast majority of cases and should be used very sparingly.

IMHO there was definitely a period when jQuery solved a whole host of problems for you and allowed you to write client side code much faster. If you weren't using jQuery or an equivalent you were kneecapping yourself unnecessarily.
As someone who has to endure modified cars doing laps around a nearby supermarket parking lot starting every evening at 10pm now, I wish this was a thing everywhere.

I can live with tire/wind noise - it's wide spectrum, so not that unpleasant. Also noise-canceling headphones reduce it greatly.

But anything that has discernible harmonics wakes me up immediately.

I live in a building with a large courtyard (inspired by the architecture of Barcelona I guess, only it's a single unit, so not terribly well thought through) which amplifies every sound that gets in and bounces around the walls.

There's a railway a kilometer away which I hear much better than people living closer to it because of this, but that normally doesn't disturb my sleep.

What did to my surprise a few days ago was a phone conversation some drunk had - it wasn't even loud, just noticable - I suppose because it was human speech.
...and they're the only viable option for getting to parts of Russian south, now that airplanes don't go there due to its proximity to the war theater.
Literally everything. I've used it for a grand total of about 3 minutes but from what I remember:

* Defaults to some stupid instagram wall-like view where every link takes half the page

* The whole thing is now centered in a tiny slice of the screen

* Threads open in some weird modal mode where accidentally clicking outside of the content takes you to the previous page

* Opening a direct link on a phone loads like 5 comments, then it continues with endless irrelevant content

* You can't open random subreddits that have been set as NSFW on the phone because "This community is 18+, please open it in the app"

Every time I had the displeasure of interacting with the new design there was some upsetting regression compared to old Reddit.
In Eastern Liturgy, the ticket is the confession and the mandated overtime is the penance.
Yeap. Didn't saw the initial one though, and the link is different so it passed through.
Might be like that way in Germany, but in mainland France and Spain domestic flights are almost unheard of as the train is nearly always a better option and price is the same if you book in advance as you would for a plane ticket.
No, the enclosure is quite open. I imagine it would run hotter in your hands if you play for this hundreds of hours ;)
> I very much doubt mainstream science is completely ignoring the panacea and preferring suboptimal solutions.

"Mainstream" medical science is driven by a massive conflict of interest due to relying on funding from pharmaceutical companies and bureaucrats with a financial interest in pharmaceutical companies. This is why for decades mainstream medical science insisted smoking was healthy. There's a great book on this: https://www.amazon.com/Real-Anthony-Fauci-Democracy-Children...
Imo, how much noise skateboard do widely depends on what kind of asphalt exactly is there. And what exactly skateboarders do. It can be fairly ok silent and also fairly noisy and stand out.

The crypto market is unregulated and manipulated heavily by whales (most of whom operate on bitfinex which itself has close ties to Tether).

Holding a short position can be profitable, but also know that a short squeeze is easy.

There was an incredible shorting opportunity with the recent Luna fiasco though. Literal millions made overnight.
Why is that weird? Procedural macros are compiler plugins. They get compiled for the platform you're building on, not the one you're building for, and so they need to be a separate compilation unit. In Rust, the crate is the compilation unit.

Frankly to me no reddit at all is a better option than the hellscape that is the new site.
Yeah, there is no such thing as migration, Reddit is reddit.com. Yes the new interface is awful, buggy, etc... But that's what Reddit is. The majority of Reddit users only know the new interface. Can you use old.facebook.com or old.youtube.com? Were they better before? Maybe, but that's irrelevant it's the past, old.reddit.com is a special easter egg for old timers at that point.
Err, the math symbols are language independent. No guarantee that the words for sum and probability start with s and p. Why switch one arbitrary set of symbols with another.
What? I log into my account (which is set to use old.reddit.com by default) and I have never had a single one of these issues.

If they get rid of old reddit, I'm gone. I've said so for years, and if this post is true (I was still able to comment without a problem), it's coming soon. SO much for 10 years on Reddit.
old.reddit is will be removed soon, that is inevitable.

A bigger storm will come when the API is removed. That is also inevitable when they go public. The API allows third-party apps, which takes away people downloading the official app.

For 10 years Reddit has been collecting high quality UGC. The next step is to lock all the content behind the official app. That is the obvious goal.

I consider Reddit to be a sociopath/psychopath corporation. The company is designed to make money from people screaming divisive hate at each other. The front page is magnitudes worse than Facebook/Twitter. Assume they will do the very worst thing imaginable, as they have been doing for 5 years now.
Back in June they announced they would use 100% recycled plastic in UK bottles[0], and in October they announced a prototype plant-based plastic bottle[1]. If other companies copy this, we're fast reaching the limits of how sustainable packaging can be (short of reusing your own container, or consuming less).

I bet it’s the developers. Don’t want to maintain legacy code so are phasing it out.
Because you can't just throw together a simple procedural macro to use in a specific project, as you can in other languages.
I think acknowledging uncertainty is one of the most important jobs of science communicators. It’s important that they say, “…but we really don’t know for sure” and emphasize when something is theoretical, a best guess, or a rough model. I think Matt and team do this very well.
> however endogenously produced drugs cannot be patented and therefore are not lucrative

You are mistaken. They can and have been in the EU.

I would like to make you and the Hackernews crowed aware of Rule 27 of the
The European Patent Convention.

"Biotechnological inventions shall also be patentable if they concern:
(a) biological material which is isolated from its natural environment or produced by means of a technical process even if it previously occurred in nature"

Which is clarified in "The European Patent Office's Guidelines for Examination" as:
"to find a previously unrecognised substance occurring in nature is... mere discovery and therefore unpatentable. However, if a substance found in nature can be shown to produce a technical effect, it may be patentable. An example of such a case is that of a substance occurring in nature which is found to have an antibiotic effect."

The EU goes even further: You can patent a previously described natural compound for medical uses under Art. 54(4) and Art. 54(5 EPC, assuming that the compund was previously not known to be usable for a particular use case.

I suggest you read https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-022-01269-3 as well as https://www.epo.org/law-practice/legal-texts/html/epc/2020/e....

Then draft a pitch deck and go VC hunting. The EU market is ca.400 million people, that should be enough.
That's true, but it seems to me that, in many circumstances, people are using a truck when all they need is a wheelbarrow.
I used night trains in Poland back when that was the option I could afford to travel. God, never again. Drunken people arguing, folks smoking cigarettes, thieves and bedbugs are only some of the attractions I've had to endure. I remember one time the ticket lady outright told me "i recommend not to fall asleep sir, they're stealing luggage here".
