Coinbase is a centralized exchange. Of course it runs in a SQL db or whatever. They only need to touch the chain when settling inflows/outflows.

But something like Uniswap: https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap is fully on-chain. Every trade happens on chain, because the application is an immutable smart contract liquidity protocol, called an AMM, or automated market maker.

It does as much, if not more, volume than Coinbase ($1.98B in last 24H): https://info.uniswap.org/#/

Personally I prefer the IntelliJ merge tool since I don't have to pay extra for a 3rd program.
So, let's just run through everything here.

1- 1 million bartenders/servers/whatever at 3 bucks a pop sets our year 1 expected return at 3 million dollars. Based on the description other people have put for the program, the state is probably just hosing a web portal with a quiz form that people fill out. Once it's built, you're probably only going to see token updates every year. I would imagine the state, over the long term, could run this for cost or a small profit, especially as you don't seem to factor enforcement fines into the revenue. Further, the page linked in the post claims that the public safety side is also factored into their costs, so reducing over-serving projects to save money overall.

2- This creates a cottage industry of 3rd party tutors. I would guarantee you that this is almost as important to the political will to create this certification as the public safety side. Someone lobbied for this because they can profit off it. Feel whatever way you want about that.

TL;dr- It's a "don't text and drive" law. It's an easy piece of "common sense" legislation that politicians can point to as proof that they're trying to help the community be safer and healthier. "Can you put a price on the safety of our state's children?" YMMV as to whether this is actually true.
My total guess not based on the drawings - the wheels of the cars move with a certain delay as a reaction to its tow bar getting turned. I would assume this delay can be configured on a per-car basis because the cars farther back may require more compensation than the ones in the front.

Although I am calling it a delay, I assume the mechanism is mechanical and there is probably a better word to describe the action where the wheels do not turn at the same time or with the same severity as the tow bar.
Life saver.
You could honestly just start with this design, remove a few things, add an eInk display, use some other form of storage than SD cards for the Pi (since SD cards are notoriously indurable), and have exactly what you want. You'd probably need some custom display writing code and have to write some custom X/Wayland app that draws to the eInk screen. The idle power draw of the Pi is tiny and as long as you avoid writing to the screen with any frequency, it can probably stay alive for decades. (Though whether a Pi can last that long is a good question.)
I currently have a legacy account with one user, with a bunch of emails and a handful of other Google data. What happens if I use to transfer to a personal account under my domain (which seems to be how this works?), but then transfer the domain to Fastmail for email? Am I able to create a normal "free" gmail account with the rest, or does transferring email to Fastmail inevitable delete all of the other data on the account?

Part of me doesn't want to deal with the risk and hassle tied to all this, but another part of me wants to get as far away from Google as possible as a result of this experience.
The trick is to put it outside and you wont be answering questions, and you'll delete the posting when it's gone. Works well!

It's free afterall, so part of the price is not you spending your time.
How paint works – Explain that Stuff
When i bartended in Illinois the training was quite eye opening to 21 year-old me. I don't know that anyone else[1] would have told me all the ways i could be jailed, dined, and/or bankrupted from various common bar situations. I don't know that small establishments have the resources to properly find and provide that training either. That knowledge armed me to resist an awful lot of persuasion that I would have bent the house rules for.

Refreshers are nice too because they also have updated info. The second time I did my training I found out that they were relaxing some rules around special events and what was allowed where. Very useful considering the bar was in the middle of where a lot of street fest stuff occured. [2]

1. at the time and place it was the municipal authorities mandating participation, but the material was provided by the state

2. Again, this w as put on by local authorities so it included city zoning and licensing info too.
Hey now it’s unfair to limit this to just their online verions. I have reproducible word bugs that date back to word 2007.

Microsoft in my opinion is a company that writes good core logic followed by trainwreck UI/UX teams only eclipsed in their destructive cabability by the user hostile marketing and profit department who keep trying to get me to do stuff like upload sensitive documents to OneDrive through some absolutely intended bad UI, or default to the most expensive resource selection in Azure every time you hit the back button on their forms.
I appreciate the prompt but I read the article. The program hasn’t been pilot tested. The article referred to some studies and a meta study that CA is using to justify rolling out the entire program. The studies, in very brief summary, don’t actually find that these programs are effective, just that interventions are effective and education could theoretically lead to interventions. The studies also don’t show that these programs are bad, and in that middle state it’s better to do a real world test than to pass the bill or regulation using theoretical assumptions used to check off net impact calculations. Obviously this is tilting at windmills, given the state and the anti-drunk-driving optics in play.
Worth noting, if you're using JSON data with MS SQL Server, you'll want to create virtual columns for index in a similar way.
The issue I run into with Python's "with" is that you can't turn a class into a context manager without changing the calling scope. Suppose you have a class that initializes itself from a file, reads the entire file into memory, then accesses a few bytes here and there of the contents as needed. Somebody rightfully notices that the memory usage is way too high, so you instead open the file, and on demand seek to the location and read those few bytes.

The class now stores a file handle, which it should close. So the class should be changed to a context manager. So every call site needs to change from "x = MyFoo()" to "with MyFoo() as x:" in order to work correctly. With RAII, everything is already lifetimes, so the calling scope doesn't need to change if you add a destructor.

I make furniture by hand sometimes. Plane the lumber, hand cut dovetails, 100+ year old molding planes for trim, hand forged square nails when I need fasteners, antique planes too for young and groove boards.

Slow as hell to make, hugely pleasing to the soul. My metrics are that in the end, not efficiency.
> Sure, but the author is pointing out that the cost of buying BTC exposure via these companies is higher than just buying BTC by a lot.

The investors also get transaction processing infrastructure, including software and facilities, and a team, not just exposure to BTC. Perhaps they see future value in building that infrastructure now.

> It almost seems like a short position of these companies combined with a long position on BTC is a solid bet over a long term horizon.

If you think that's a solid bet, you're of course welcome to go ahead and make it!

I would look for the company's lawyers and let them know the problem, they'll be professional about it and ask the IT/security department to capture incomming email from the scammer that could be used as proof for the police. You could even look for a lawyer to talk to them as a crime investigation. Pretty sure the company will take the issue in a formal way.

Ethereum itself should be using proof of stake by the end of the year, hence also not contributing to burning the planet.
This can sometimes be useful, though I haven't yet decided if I think it's a dirty hack or not. At one point, I made a timer whose __enter__ method started the timer, and whose __exit__ method stopped the timer. After the "with", the elapsed time could be queried.
It could be summarized to a one page document that you read over, with more resources as optional, and a required click of "I agree, and if I fail to do so I understand that I could be prosecuted". 3 hours seems absurd. I mean, I have to re-up like 7 similar agreements (insider trading, security, confidentiality, anti-discrimination, anti-phishing etc) at my employment and it's usually 15 minutes long or less.

The dumber part of that world is that there was a separate train of very similar or identical design that managed to defeat the "can't stop for prolonged period of time" plot point using nothing but what was available on the train, and it was somehow able to do this only after the world ended and not before.
There are game-tailored browsers like Ultralight (https://github.com/ultralight-ux/ultralight) but they generally assume that they're only hosting the user interface, not the entire game.

I suspect that the major hurdle stopping "Electron for game consoles" is that the console SDKs are under NDAs - you'd have to verify that the users are registered console developers or provide a porting service yourself (as many porting houses do).

However, Microsoft do allow packaging HTML5/JS games as UWP apps, and testing them on the Xbox Series (and the Xbox One) with the Dev Mode: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/xbox-apps/devel...
You actually CAN use idea as a standalone merge tool[1], I have these lines in my .gitconfig for years now:

2 million hours (228 years) and 3 million dollars every 3 years doesn't take much to equalize out. Out of these 1 million bartenders if ~3 deaths/year were avoided as a result of this training that'd seem to about break even already and that's not even looking at any impact outside of death.
Radar isn't hearing. It has different properties than your eyes and your ears.

You know how your eyes can sometimes get things wrong? For example, you can see a mirage of an oasis when you are in the desert? Well, radar has failures like that. For example, in normal everyday driving conditions, like when you go over a pothole, someone passes through the lane in front of you, or you go under a bridge radar tends to hallucinate just like your eyes tend to hallucinate. It tells you things that aren't true about the observed reality.

The most famous story about radar that I know is the time that ignoring it prevented the death of humanity. There was an illusion of a nuclear launch by the United States on Russia. The officer didn't believe the radar and so didn't launch nuclear weapons in retaliation.

If you were combining radar with your eyes while driving, rather than combining it with hearing, you would have times like that - times where you recognized that the sensor was wrong and you were forced to ignore it. Or you would die. And others might very well die with you.
Thanks for the reminder :) Would also need grounding and ideally, continuity across corners and joins. Some photos of metal lath: https://inspectapedia.com/interiors/Plaster_on_Expanded_Meta...
Thanks; it’s good to hear your experience. Likewise anecdotally, I’ve seen a mix of responses to this kind of training. A confounding factor, even when bartenders and managers do change behavior, is shifting of alcohol consumption location and/or timing throughout the evening, in response to strict bartending.

I've seen lots of really silly projects about resilient computing that miss the forest for the trees (and feel a bit like LARPing) but this is actually a fairly sensible project that makes good tradeoffs (though the comments in this post about connectors and SD cards are good.)

Remember, the title here is "Off-Grid" not "Post cataclysmic disaster". There's lots of quotidian off-grid experiences people experience all the time. Sometimes you end up in "nature" where there is power but it's a bit hard to come by and you're a day or two out from civilization. Sometimes you're traveling and you just don't have a power outlet with steady power near you or you just have enough access on a plane/train/etc to power your smartphone and nothing else.

My partner's parents' power was knocked out during a hurricaine a couple years ago and they were without power for a few days. They had their smartphones but wanted to conserve power in case they needed maps or something. This solution actually works quite well for that situation.
You just quit. This isn't a company you want to work for. Find a manager/employer that cares about their people. It's hard, but they do exist.
Getting it right once, in an example, where everything is visible within ten lines? Not complicated at all.

Getting it right every time, across thousands of lines of code, interspersed with other functionality? Very complicated.

If you design a system that requires multiple locations to be in sync with each other for correctness, that's a system that will quickly become incorrect.

It's a zero gravity recliner -- they cost a few thousand dollars new, but they pop up on craigslist every now and then for a few hundred dollars. You can also get a patio version on amazon for $50-100, and it's arguably more comfortable, but less stable. I used one of those for a couple years before upgrading to the leather version.
I would still use inkscape, it's way faster and lighter and though it crashes sometimes, it doesn't corrupt files like Illustrator. It also has (IMO) a simpler interface that's somewhat more discoverable than Illustrator but not by much.

The example I like to give is different payment types... CC/Payflow, Paypal, Amazon Checkout, etc... all you really care about is the type and amount and success... The additional details, different transaction id's etc are different... this allows one to use a single field for the "extra" details, while normalizing a few bits that may come back from different services in a different way, but a single type of collective data.

Normalizing the above would mean at least 4 tables, with subqueries and joins that really aren't valueable at the database layer.

Offset arrays are a wonderful source of footguns, and this should have been obvious from the start. Either you train everyone to write loops in an official way that avoids the problem, or you are going to have bugs. And if you choose training, you have to train EVERYONE, because anyone coming in from another language will have the wrong habits.

Even Perl realized that changing the indexing of arrays was a bad idea. Which is why the special variable $[ has been deprecated every which way possible because it caused too many bugs.
Thanks; I appreciate bringing in the statistical cost of a human life. There might not even be that improvement, and there might be a deleterious effect. Even in a positive scenario, the hours spent, and the opportunity cost on the legislative and bureaucratic side also have a cost in statistical human lives. So please keep that in mind, but you’re thinking about it in a helpful way.
If you have two Flatpaks open, other one cannot write to disk(s). Openscad and Flashprint for example.

Deus Finance's DEI Stablecoin Loses Peg as Algorithm Fails to Keep Pace
Ask HN: How to best educate artists and musicians on NFT scams
Hi folks, I am both a programmer/software architect/consultant and a musician/composer/producer. I am growing increasingly concerned with the hype I'm seeing in the music world around NFTs. While I love my non-techy music colleagues, many of them are, to put it bluntly, absolutely perfect marks for scammers and hustlers. They are desperate for ways to make money off their work, have in many cases been very badly hit by the pandemic, and have little understanding of technology, economics, or investing. They are being sold a load of crap about NFTs being the next big thing for artists to sell their work to fans and it's horrifying.

So if you are a fellow NFT skeptic and you wanted to educate people like the above, what would you send them? What are the best resources that: don't depend on highly technical language, don't require solid understanding of finance and economics, are easily digestible, and are good advocacy?

I'm really worried about friends and colleagues wasting their (scarce) money and getting milked for all their worth or badly burned. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

(And I'm not asking to debate their merits, this is not that thread. If you love them, we can agree to disagree without discussing it here....)
The point is that few workplaces have a majority of employees that are "good enough" to find ways to collaborate with Inkscape. If even a third of them cannot find a way to do so, you're stuck, and siloing your/their work is not an option. No decent manager would accept that merely because you insist on using Inkscape.
Favorite HN Patterns?
I wonder how folks get the most out of HN.

I personally often look at Ask and Show more deeply than Top. I find those to be more interesting to me.

I limit HN to AM bathroom times mostly, but do check it out some days while I work. If I’m unsuccessful at managing distractions or just want a low stress break, it’s a quick way to satisfy.

No! But read the part where Rasmus Lerdorf "beams into" the conversation and his opinion is dismissed with "let's take a vote".

I mean, if you wanted a language that wasn't intentionally designed by Rasmus Lerdorf, you kinda picked the wrong one. This is what I was referring to.
I'm talking about a storage space/bandwidth tradeoff here, I don't know what you are saying about compute.
Knowing how to collaborate well with LaTeX makes you about as "good" an employee as knowing how to collaborate well with Inkscape.

The point is that even in places where about half the employees know how to collaborate with these tools, it is not done because you need the other employees to function.
