The idea is great, the implementation is horrible. There have already been announcements that regular prices will probably increase after that because the transport companies/conglomerates are not happy with the state deciding this ticket but not providing enough money to subsidize it.

Why don't you side by side two tabs and search the same thing.

They are not the same, duckduckgo use to be decent. Now I can't find anything programming related.

As others pointed out, you just add another factor (TOTP) or print backup codes.

Or just have another way to sign in. Generate random password for root user, store it in your password manager, disable root login via SSH and... whenever you find your user locked out, log via root via console. In a corporate environment, you could audit and alert whenever root logs in as it should be only "recovery" user.

At a minimum, the transmitter would need to comply with RF exposure limits.
I can't speak for Devault, either, but I think that Sourcehut is intended to be selfhosted if you want. So it's probably too much pain to ask every language provider (might be a lot) to dial down the traffic. Imagine youre hosting modules from ~200 langs.
Don't big players in every industry lobby for more regulation? Does this mean that this is what is good for the markets they are dominant in? I fail to see this implication.
Try Kagi. I'm using it for months now and it's surprisingly good. It also has the !g and such bang characters, but I rarely need it.

I really hope the quality improves before I'm forced to engage with such content. It's an absolute deal breaker for me. I can't reach for the back button quickly enough. I'm sure I'm far from alone in this.
Due to the character limit on titles I had to truncate it a bit :\

The topic of mathlib might be different, but the methods are the same. That's why you can use Lean for both in the first place!
My point way you don’t need additional hydro to back up renewables.

15% of 24/7 is 100% of ~7h, 3.5 days a week. We would need some batteries, but nowhere near the kind of excess people calculate for a pure wind/solar grid.
It sure does. A blank page here on iOS.
VC is much earlier stage. I think ARKK only invests in publicly traded companies. The potential for a 100x is much greater at earlier stages.
That's probably the case for most insurances; they need to know you did at least some work to prevent theft.

Do you get to claim theft insurance on your house or car if you left it unlocked?

I think you don't always get the latest stuff due to caching or so.
> What are we currently doing with the waste from the hundreds of currently operational reactors?

They are put into temporary storage (viable for 10-50 years), that's not long term storage.

> I'm assuming you mean price per kWh, compared with wind/solar and the necessary storage? What is the current price of renewables plus storage?

You cannot operate a grid on nuclear only so why include storage for renewables?

Edit: supplied time frame for temporary storage

What I don't get is what those purported "barriers, rules, walled gardens, etc" are that Web3 enthusiasts keep claiming they are bringing down.

I could set up my own website on its own server back in 2004, when Google was still an up-and-coming disruptor, Amazon was just starting AWS, and Facebook was only a glint in Zuckerberg's eye. Now in 2022, when Google is called the "most powerful company in the world", maybe 30% of the internet is running on AWS, and Facebook is sometimes considered a threat to democracy, I can still set up my own website on its own server.

What barriers have been raised between then and now? And how do Web3 or cryptocurrencies "break them down"?
No questions, just praise: I loved this tutorial, it was hugely helpful to me when I was just getting into python and I regularly recommend it. Thanks for writing it and sharing it!
(1) consistently

(2) on a risk-adjusted basis

The efficient-market hypothesis (EMH) says that it is impossible to "beat the market" *consistently on a risk-adjusted basis*.

According to the efficient-market hypothesis it's possible to beat market.
HODL or ARKK are not evidence against EMH. BRK is probably the closest evidence that EMH is not as strong as assumed.
What he actually said: "At DuckDuckGo, we've been rolling out search updates that down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation."

You may note what Microsoft had stated earlier [0] "We are removing RT news apps from our Windows app store and further de-ranking these sites’ search results on Bing so that it will only return RT and Sputnik links when a user clearly intends to navigate to those pages."

As a non-native, I keep parsing the name as "ad-miner" which makes it distinctively non-interesting, heh.

Yep, I have the same HomeKit integration, but I mostly needed macOS keyboard shortcuts which are not provided by the Home app.

I also needed to control non-HA devices like standalone ESPHome lights/remotes, which Volum can do.
But if you use FastAPI and completely ignore the async aspects, you get some handy tools out of the box, Swagger/Pydantic integration being the big one. Then you're in roughly the same place as Flask where you're just using general python packages. I struggle to see any advantages to Flask vs one of Django or FastAPI at this point.
World Builders Put Happy Face on Superintelligent AI
> That's why Europe doesn't have rolling blackouts. It has a lot of wind and solar.

This isn’t true, especially relative to the USA. The real reason Europe doesn’t have rolling blackouts is that consumer electricity prices are just much much higher than they generally are in the states. Even Norway with all that cheap hydro is more expensive than Washington state with a similar energy mix.
My microwave oven makes not 1, not 2, not 3, ... but 6 beeps when it's done. I hated the thing. No way to disable it. So I ended up opening the damn thing, find the tiny speaker and unsolder its wires ([1], [2])

My Instant Pot does the same thing, but I only use it in the evening, so not so much of a big deal as the microwave oven.

No, even with low estimations of the amount of nuclear victims (those published by UN's Word Health Organization) solar/wind/hydro are the safest ones and any new major nuclear disaster may further imbalance:

Moderation is not the same thing as security. Is there such a thing as "correctly written" code for moderation? Twitter automated moderation seems to be just pattern matching that needs to be later evaluated by a human... though it's not clear that Twitter actually bothers to have a human look at it.

This is especially true for spam bot detection. Bots don't need a "bug" in the code in order to "exploit" Twitter. A bot just needs to be not labeled by Twitter as a bot. So the goal wouldn't be to find a bug in Twitter's open source code but rather just see how Twitter decides what is a bot and what is a human, and then make the bot slightly more human-like. But nobody in the world has a "correct" test to decide what's a human.
This is how I started my journey with web development.

I was a Data Scientist and I superficially used Flask to build an internal matching tool between internal products and competitors product (after an ML model).
Then I started the Mega-Tutorial to build a small app to track our foosball matches and run a team tournament.
Eventually, I wanted to accelerate my learning and joined a bootcamp (Le Wagon) where I learned Ruby on Rails from scratch. My Flask introduction with this tutorial was really helpful to understand things on almost all layers.

I always recommend this tutorial to people who come from Python and want a sneak peak to web development. I am very grateful for Miguel's work and for sharing it.
N=1 isn't an argument either. I'm simply saying what a lot of people in my situation also thinks. It's just sensible that you don't stay because you like paying taxes. You stay where you are because of family and friends. To say that it doesn't influence people decision is deceiving.

Calling BS on that right there
Another vote for Kagi!

Every time I tried to switch to DDG I ended up reverting to using the !g bang on every other query. While Kagi supports the same functionality, I haven’t felt the need to use it once in the past two months that I’ve been trialing the private beta. It’s genuinely better than Google for me, which I never thought would happen.
>Pumped storage depends on geography

It does but unlike for dams that geography is extremely common:

https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-spot-530-000-potenti...

>We don't have a general-purpose solution to storage

We're already building this general purpose solution at large scale. Snowy 2, fengning, coire glas.

The cheap, safe mass produced nuclear reactor, meanwhile, remains just as vaporware as it was 20 years ago.
In this note you speculate optimistically in several places - "give it a few years", "I don't know what the long-term consequences of that will be", "I hope". Right now, we have what we have. The demonstrated paths to emissions reduction include nuclear and gas. We have a weird situation with electric vehicles in some regions where brown coal is being used to power electric vehicles, making for worse emissions at higher cost than oil - that's where speculation-based policy goes.
I fail to see how this could be called anything else without resorting to newspeak. It's politically motivated downranking of sources that the operators of DDG are in ideological disagreement with. It's a way of exerting narrative control over public perceptions.

Downranking sites that disrespect user privacy using trackers and similar is different, because it is not ideologically motivated. I guess you could call it censorship, but no-one except the site owners are going to take issue with it.

A simple way to tell if something is political censorship is to ask: who will take issue with the absence of this piece of information that is being removed or hidden? If the answer contains groups of people that aren't just corporations, I think it's pretty clear what is going on.

And I guess I have to repeat myself here: no, I don't personally belong to such a group in this context. I just happen to not want anyone telling me what I'm supposed to believe, even if I'm "on their side".

I’ll second in on this. I have the a similar condition as the OP, and the Apple Watch helped reduce my anxiety by automatically monitoring my pulse, and correlating it with activity.

I was able to find out how well exercise and diet changes improved my life without having to count every calorie, manually enter all my exercise, and check my pulse rate on waking, sleeping and exercising.
> Nautilus & Evince

The difference is the UI usually names these appropriately in GNOME. You won't really read the brand Nautilus in the UI anywhere - it'll be called "Files", which makes much more sense to the reader.

> OTOH I don't think discoverability for products in GNU/Linux distros commonly comes down to trying to intuit semantics of the product's name.

I recall watching a video from Linus Tech Tips where he tries switching to Linux for the first time [0]. A big point in the video is that he tried KDE and had big problems figuring which apps to use because they're not named intuitively.

If tech people are getting tripped up over these names, I can't imagine an average user trying out KDE.

You can also have 4 years of 20% returns with 10bn of capital, and then 1 year of down 50% with 50bn and have actually lost $$$'s despite a nice looking % return.

It also happened to some household names that you would consider "legendry investors" who made massive returns in 08.

Betting on coal is now a dangerous game. Gas rules, for now. Recent gas turbines are quite good: low-latency, free modulation, maintaining them in warm-start ready condition is quite cheap and does not emit much greenhouse gases. Moreover they will be retrofitted in order to burn green hydrogen.
Even if this is just affecting the browser and only on a few domains the brand damage here for DDG is huge.

It took DuckDuckGo years to built up their positive privacy reputation and it can all fall apart in a few days.

The european regulation discusses using cameras too! IIRC the manufacturers have a certain detection percentage threshold to achieve and they have commented that they will require stuff like visual muscle twitching detection, eye tracking, head tilt evaluation and even heartbeat sensors etc.
"... without continuous funding "
I never said they would cancel out. However if you design a supply based on intermittent sources to supply your baseload (i.e. the lowest demand over a time period), the average supplied power will be significantly higher than the baseload level. In other words if you have two uncorrelated randomly varying timeseries, the overlap area under the curve will be higher than just the area of the rectangle using just the lowest point under the curve.
I learnt it quite well actually. Used it in a few projects one quite large.

It worked ok for internal apis not open to customers, but even then Django was much better as just setting up the admin side provided a lot of value to the business (for free).

All forgotten now but wasted a huge amount of time glueing things together that came for free with Django.
Looks cool :D
During the deflationary two year COVID pandemic they made zero price reductions.

If I remember correctly they even removed C1 instances thus increasing the price of their “cheapest” option from ~€3 to ~6€.

Today, all the “cost savings” that were supposedly made during the deflationary era are gone and we have to “adjust” again to even higher prices.

Ask HN: How to better implement a deposit/withdrawal tracking system?
Assume I am creating a webapp which can receive money from the users to their "accounts" in my system and send them out, something like a super simplified version of a bank.

Are there any guides, practices to make it safe and properly? I see multiple ways of doing the same thing. For example, when a user puts in $10, then $3 then $7, then moves out $4, I can use a table in the database called balances and add or subtract a single number in the column - 0 + 10 + 3 + 7 - 4 = 16.

So, I keep in the column value of 16.

Another way is to add rows into a table called "transactions" and calculate the current balance every time I need it. In this case, if there are thousands of transaction for the user, I would need to calculate thousands of numbers every time I need to know balance.

I don't want to reinvent the wheel so I would be happy to just have some guide of how these things are usually implemented even though I understand there is no such scenario as "standard" one and there are always myriads of small differences between different implementations.

In what direction should I look to understand how to build such a system in a better way and avoid mistakes?

Thanks!
Reddit is just a forum with a non chronological sort. The entirety of the voting code can be a one liner. Adding upvote buttons is also a one liner.

It’s pretty easy to do the Reddit MVP but all the stuff they added later on is a major project. That includes their gamification, avatars, spam code, moderation, wiki, chat, private forums, etc.

As for Twitter, the east part is making it. The hard part is making the backend scale. Even Twitter inc. itself took months to make it scale (remember the “fail whale”?).
Query parallelism (we call it "pseudo sharding") was one of the best things we added to Manticore Search (Elasticsearch alternative). In my opinion Elasticsearch really lacks it. Without that in some use case scenarios (e.g. log analytics which is kind of typical for Elasticsearch) user might require to increase number of shards up to number of CPU cores to get few times lower latency - https://db-benchmarks.com/test-logs10m/#elasticsearch-with-n...

> Web Revival is one name for an internet based movement that has a bunch of names, here are a few of them;

This movement is quite frankly hopelessly utopian and that nostalgic ship has sailed 30 years ago with the late stragglers missing that ship and talking about coming on-board.

It is no different to the utopian Web3 DAO communities I keep seeing who think that everything is going to be on-chain. Reviving this Web 1.0 and thinking that is everything is going back to that in the modern era is also just as utopian.

Not many of these revivalist communities will survive in their absolute ideals and some of them will end up compromising in the long run to go against what they have been preaching for.

i never said communism is the solution

and i never said "success to become undesirable"

success in our society isn't even desirable, what is desirable is generating profit

you can generate profit by burning and cutting all the trees in our planet, is that your definition of successful?

why should we reward that behavior with wealth?

our society needs to be reinvented, taking into account the impact of your action on the society, its people, and how it can help advance humankind

rewarding people with wealth is not helping achieve that goal, since to get something, you must take it away from somebody else, otherwise you generate infinite inflation if you keep print money

green energies, social work, scientific research, education etc

all of that already is the fruit of social policies (health through government funding, science through government funded universities etc)

do you really think we can use our current model when the time of space travel / colonies will come?

we must prepare and invent a society that promotes the inclusion of everyone towards the same goal, the advance of humankind and its preservation, rather than the preservation of the individualism
> It took the guy longer than I expected with an angle grinder, made a lot of noise, sparks flying, etc.

Your guy was probably being very careful not to damage your bike. With the right tool, even top-quality locks with hardened boron-carbide shackles can be cut in seconds: https://youtu.be/cbYVmRNzGLc?t=368

> Someone highly motivated could lift the bike into a van, drive home, and then worry about cutting off the lock. It just seems a bit far-fetched.

One mode of bike theft in the UK is: A white van pulls up to the university/train station cycle racks, men with bolt cutters grab as many as they can in 3 minutes or so, then drive off.

As they're going for volume rather than quality, the bikes with the worst locks are the first to go.
