Solana has some interesting tech but it ignored many good blockchain engineering lessons learned in the satoshi-client fork days. You don’t need 500ms blocks. That’s way too fragile. 1-2 sec is fine and allows for proper global block propagation, still requiring dedicated paths no less. 500ms block time to every node is never going to work scale to internet.
> Thinking is good only when your mental model is correct with respect to reality.

Now that’s as good of a blog post thesis statement as it gets. Genuinely well said, this really simplified a really common fallacious pattern of thought that constantly frustrates me. This helps. Put it in a T-shirt.
It's the same science.

1. We're more specific in market we are targeting (we'll be more specific as we get closer to launch based on early cohort analysis).

2. Subscription rather than big up front fee

3. Better more comfortable headband design. It's unique, but not "weird". Strangely light and cool (both temperature and style).

I'll admit I'm biased, but I believe Dreem should have been a much bigger success than it was.

I see from your comments you have a deep interest in sleep. Feel free to ping me on linkedin - details in profile.
I also learned the taut-line hitch. It looks like the Farrimond Friction Hitch trades off slightly harder tying with easier untying.
Although the discussion around Blender add-ons and the GPL is interesting, this isn't an add-on and doesn't apply. It's a .blend scene, thus isn't bound by the GPL since it's an output from Blender. This is ultimately the equivalent of any other exported artwork, like a 3D model.

Below is the relevant part from that page:

> What you create with Blender is your sole property. All your artwork – images or movie files – including the .blend files and other data files Blender can write, is free for you to use as you like.

On price-gating SSO, I'm sympathetic to your argument. I'll consider adding it to the lower-priced tier.

2FA is already effectively built-in to EnvKey through device-based authorization. A user can only sign in to EnvKey from an authorized device, so an email account compromise won't be enough for an attacker to gain access--they would also need access to an authorized device.

A passphrase can optionally be supplied on top of this for an additional factor (though it's unnecessary if you're already using OS-level disk encryption).

It's basically the same model as SSH. And imo it's superior to SMS or app-based 2FA (perhaps not token-based, which I'm open to adding). It handles the main threat models (phishing/email account compromise) with far better UX and convenience.

"Is a bit confusing, that section should be clarified a bit. Does it mean that you can run the systems using it somewhere else? Does it mean other variants of EnvKey can be run everywhere? ..."

I agree this could be less confusing.

The EnvKey host server runs in your AWS account, but that doesn't mean that apps you integrate EnvKey with are in any way limited to AWS. You could have your apps running in Heroku, GCP, Azure, or whatever, and integrate with your self-hosted EnvKey installation for configuration and secrets management with no problem.

Is that clearer?

for people accustomed to looking at highly compressed video data (like mpeg2, H264 or H265/HEVC file, VP9, AV1, etc), what we're looking at here is a whole other category of barely-compressed high bitrate video used by professional cameras. It saves a lot of SSD recording storage space vs truly raw video but also leaves the video in a state to be further edited and cut together, then compressed into a final output product much later in the work flow.

The ordinary consumer will never see these video file formats, unless they go buy at least a $2500 blackmagic pocket 6k pro and add another $2500 of lenses and accessories to make it useful.
Math became easier to read when I realized that there are relatively few ideas in math and most things are just permutations thereof.

Validating Redis Enterprise Operator on Bare-Metal with Red Hat OpenShift
I'm not a fan of the LCBO's regulatory or wholesaling/importing arms, but.

I grew up in Alberta. Privatization of liquor there happened just around when I turned 18. LCBO vs the typical Alberta "liquor barn" type operation is no contest: the LCBO wins. On selection, on service, on presentation.

There are just a handful of decent wine shops in Edmonton when I visit. Their selection is meh. Almost every decent sized LCBO has a "Vintages" selection with a decently currated selection of wines. They are actually the superior retail experience, and they treat their employees far better on the whole.

The LCBO is also the single biggest importer of liquor in North America last I looked. Many European producers actually produce special labels and product just for the LCBO, because it buys in quantity for all of Ontario.

Politicians don't dare visit privatizing it not because of the suggestion it might make them look ineffective but because the LCBO brings in an obscene amount of revenue.

(The wine industry in Ontario is actually something I know a lot about. The real problem here is the regulatory side of things, and also the regulatory capture that what I call the "Niagara VQA Mafia" has over the domestic wine market. Becoming a wine producer in this province is stupid, it's been locked down to the same handful of meh grapes in an essentially locked in set of growing regions with no room for innovation, and the gov't totally destroys you on excise taxes, etc. not to mention the cut the LCBO takes from you)
This just just supports the OPs point though. They may have paid for themselves but whomever was collecting that money(Titan mostly) was not maintaining the condition of the phones. The phone were almost always in disgusting and deplorable condition.

Well - there's been an excessive discussion focused on my usage of the term "hellscape" and seemingly no pro-car discussion to my actual comment. It feels quite nitpicky to swoop in to criticize a specific term used without actually discussing what that term was contained within.
They need to be able to handle messy situations at least as good as human drivers, which isn't necessarily a high bar.

And importantly, unlike human drivers, autonomous cars will only get persistently better at handling these kinds of situations as they encounter more of them.
Absolutely not.

If you want more brain power you don't need more people, you can simply treat the people that already exist better. Think of how much brain power is lost to poverty and inequality. People who dont have enough money to survive, people who are in debt, spend so much mental energy just trying to survive. Calculating how much they can afford, how they can stretch their money. Its such a waste, when we could just provide them with the necessities they need to live a dignified life. And then we could see what they created. Sure some people make it out, but percentage wise they are the exception that proves the rule.
Based on what we know about epidemiology, the impact of pollution, the impact of prenatal and early childhood stress. Just consider how those compound with years of poorly funded education in neighborhoods made unstable by the transience of poverty. Add in the school to prison pipeline (partially fueled by a rise in police officers in schools in response to school shootings) and (imo) inevitable substance abuse and think about how many brain cells have been destroyed. I dont think I'd be able to think deeply in those situations.
If brains/ideas are our most important resource we are wasting them. On an almost unimaginable scale.
Both Sony and Microsoft do sell hardware direct to consumers on their websites, in addition to selling through third party retailers.

I don't think it's intolerable to use a straw-man argument when discussing scarecrows.

I'm on a similar boat with general malaise, breathing issues, and insomnia. Has been going on for about 2 years and has destroyed my quality of life and ability to do any kind of physical activity. Doctors have no idea and have essentially just told me to live with it.

It seems like being caught in limbo - being just well enough to work and subsist but too ill to go out and really do things. I just keep hoping one day it will just got away.

An average pilot takes ~4 seconds from noticing an engine failure to when they respond. I don't know how long getting out of the way would take an average driver in this situation, but I'm guessing that its at least 15 seconds.

People are nitpicking your nitpick, but the distinction really does matter in this kind of scenario where the argument is that "seconds count".

It’s pretty easy for the highly paid and wealthy to insulate themselves from the problems of any city and live in a bubble of comfort. SF is becoming more challenging to do so in, but far from impossible.

It’s the lower and middle classes that suffer most from SF’s problems, they can’t afford the rose colored glasses. Until the wealthy are truly inconvenienced they’ll continue with the feel-good ineffective measures.

That’s not specific to SF of course, it’s just becoming more prevalent. I definitely enjoy spending time there, but I’m lucky enough to afford to.
You can live cheaper in a lot of cities closer to San Francisco than Sac which still offer reasonable commutes. Most of the east bay, south bay, peninsula, etc.

Actually, you'd be surprised. This is neuroscience. It is possible to collapse the SWO wave. Do this enough in one night and you'll feel like you've got a hang-over the next day.

But if that were to be happening, we'd recognize in the headband that the wave is collapsing and either we are not stimming properly, or the person is having a negative response to the stim. Either way, we'd stop the stim to prevent damage.

I've never been to NYC but I never realized how much I would prefer a good public transit system until I visited Seoul. I probably wouldn't use a car much if at all if I lived there. I suspect NYC is still a pretty low bar for what public transit could be, best in the US isn't saying much when most cities have practically nothing to begin with.
I think you should be careful about what you wish for. I've been in the alternative which is "nothing" and "waterfall" and scrum is a thousand years better than those two.
> That's a _lot_.

Compared to what? What does it even mean to say that?

> It's really not fun to be reminded of these stats

We should be. In the 21st century convention of counting public health dangers in units of 9/11s, mass school shootings in the US are like a 9/11 every 1,108 years.
It's really cool to hear that others have thought about this too!

>How do you compare yourself to PullRequest

So it turns out that the most of code contributions nowadays get merged without fixes or feedback during the review (about 2/3). I think this is because the increased focus on continuous delivery and shipping small & often. Codeball's purpose is to identify and approve those 'easy' PRs and humans get to deal with the trickier ones. The cool part about it is being less blocked.
I really like systemd, but from what I understand, the folks who don’t like it have a number of gripes. The one that most resonates with me is that systemd is monolithic as opposed to the old Unix philosophy of small, simple tools that compose.
Disregarding the content (with which I mostly agree), this post could have used some more editing and tightening up. The introduction comes off a bit unfocused (it starts with the bold statement "the age of Scrum is over" and ends up with "is it? Time will tell"), the main text uses "its" where it should have used "it's" and vice versa. And "scupper" is "an opening cut through the bulwarks of a ship so that water falling on deck may flow overboard" - the word he was probably looking for is "scuttle"...
The ABK is a wonderful artifact, but a very poor guide for learning to tie the knots in its pages. I highly recommend any of the clearly illustrated books from International Knot Tiers' Guild[1] members like Geoffery Budworth, Des Pawson and John Shaw.

Yes that's the theory, but in practice patent offices massively err on the side of "eh it's probably novel, we'll let the courts sort it out later, oh and by the way here's our fee".
To put it mildly - this is unrealistic in the US except for major cities. Even then, depending on the city and where in the city, its going to be very difficult to convince and implement methods of cutting cars.

While I think it's a good idea I just don't see this happening in the majority of the US other then major cities. In my state I just don't see how it would be possible given people commute 30+ miles regularly.
> their service is valued at $200-$300

What service?

They create the headache in the first place.

Do you also think a protection racket provides a service? If you pay them for protection, all the headache of your business being firebombed goes away!
No they were saying A implies B, when it is really B implies A.

You might be confusing infringement with patentability.

If an independent claim isn't infringed, then by extension none of the dependent claims are infringed and they don't have to be considered. So the easiest route to defending a patent lawsuit can be proving the independent claims don't apply.
Im not sure how that impacts the small/large difference in students GPAs.
It's much more strange to me that people WOULD let strangers use their cell phone. Back when it was just a phone, sure. But now it's my wallet with all of my credit cards and banking loaded on it, it has all of my passwords and all of my OTP apps and codes, it has the ability to unlock doors in my house (and for some people to open and start their car) it contains all of the contact information for everyone I know, it effectively has every email I've ever sent or received and every picture I have ever taken or been sent, it has access to publish content as me on trusted social media profiles. Yes, obviously all of this should be protected by much more than just physical security. But we all know that software locks can almost always be broken if you're in possession of the physical device.

I happily help strangers when I can, but I'm not going to hand over the keys to my entire life, on the most fragile and expensive object I probably have on my person.
Where have you been seeing the rent drop in SF? I'm in the south bay and have been interested in moving to SF now that I'm going remote, since I want a bit more active nightlife. Now that I'm remote, I don't have to stay in south bay.
I actually just skimmed this and told my friend, "Hey, check this out! The sum of consecutive integers starting at 1 is the product of the final number and the number that is two before it!" So I totally ignored the lesson of the essay.
Sounds more like nobody put this particular user story onto the backlog and marked it as required before going to test rather than an edge case a computer can't handle. The city should probably demand compensation.
How long until we see stories of packages being shot-down and stolen? I wish I was kidding. I welcome the future of drone package shooting as a sport!

> because for all the ways in which C sucks, it is the most common (lowest) denominator that ticks the portability checkbox.

This is actually something that Zig is supposed to do as well. There should be nothing that you can do in C but can't do in Zig. So hypothetically, in the future (say, twenty years from now), a Zig implementation of SQLite could be a preferred one since you're not losing anything with it. (With the additional benefit that should you want to, you might be able to compile application-specific queries into it.)

I'm an SRE, I've done Linux from scratch, and I've built my own alternatives to system management, including "Service Managers" and "Container runtimes" (a fuzzy distinction if ever there was one)

Systemd badly needs alternatives. Upstart was a good one, and I wish it hadn't been abandoned. It had a lot of things wrong around it, but Upstart was not all-consuming and it did the one job it was supposed to do - Keep a set of processes alive - well.

Systemd is opinionated in every way, and that's fine. But it needs something out there to challenge those opinions. It needs something that will force it to evolve the way users want and not just how it's developers want. Most importantly, it needs the egos involved to be shut down.
The more I work with high performance teams and individuals, the more I realize the value of creativity. It can be creativity in technical solutions; it can be creativity in managing complex constraints; it can be creativity in connecting the dots and identifying multiplier projects.

When faced with difficult problems, there is a very large difference in effectiveness between engineers. And it's not a one-dimensional scale, a brilliant engineer in one area can be quite average when solving different types of problems due to lack of context/domain knowledge/experience.
It's just poking fun at other websites being too serious.
Completely agree. I lived in Seoul for a bit (I'm Korean American) and it is still by far the best subway system I've experienced.

I would gladly use Seoul's subway. I only grudgingly use NYC's (and nowadays, I bicycle as much as I can to avoid using it).

I appreciate the inclusion of anti-bot software. As someone who builds plugins for enterprise apps (currently Airtable), I really want to build automated tests for my apps with Selenium, but keep getting foiled by anti-bot measures.

Can anyone recommend other resources for understanding anti-bot tech and their workarounds?
There is a third option, a queuing system similar to what Apple does for their product launches. It would not eliminate scalping entirely. But being able to put your money down today and see that your new iShiny will be delivered in 6-8 weeks helps mitigate FOMO and gives you a number that can actually be used to measure the "value" provided by premium scalper prices.
Ask HN: How to Ask a Question Properly?
I have been thinking about this for a long time now and I wanted to ask everyone in here.

When you want to ask a question, how do you approach, for instance the HN community?

As a foreigner with mediocre level of English language, I cannot ask any question the right way, if that makes any sense to you.

How should I approach any topic I'm interested in, without causing any problem or offend anyone; what should be the way of asking a question without becoming misunderstood?
because it's a comprehensive suite of software that largely gets the job done while ignoring various 'unix philosophies', which some people in the linux world really do not like. To me it resembles programming language debates a lot where highly popular, pragmatic languages get attacked by people with strong philosophical ideas about how software ought to be built.
That quote sounds a lot like 1. (the idea of compressing each Bayer color), but I might misunderstand it.
The increase in rental prices in Santa Cruz reflect that. It's good for my family since we've been there 90 years but I'm currently in San Jose because I can get a nicer place for the same amount. It's not bad because I throw my electric bike on the bus that runs over the hill every hour when I want to go visit.
