It's a commercial display. Not a TV. if you want it to display something, you need to attach something that provides output.

There's is a very common thread here on HN talking about people wanting to support dumb displays, displays that don't expect you to enter IP addresses before they will even finish first time setups. This 55inch NEC display looks like it retails for a little over $2kUSD.

Your mention of personal devices getting hacked and stolen suggests you are only thinking of cryptographic voting systems that use electronic devices for the cryptographic interaction with the voter.

There are paper-based cryptographic systems for end-to-end verifiable elections. There are no personal devices to hack or steal in such systems.

Probably not, but I've never heard of that before. And nor can I think of an argument for why that might be the case.

And one's thoughts, which also affect the feelings

Meditation = a bit practicing being in control over one's thoughts?
After everything went so smoothly, it will be micrometeorites which will grind the whole mission into a dust. That's sad and also shows why Earth bound observatories are still irreplicable and can't be just swapped for space telescopes as some eccentric billionaire proposed in the past.
In Greece, we've seen quite a lot of cases where polling failed spectacularly to detect even large vote swings. Given that those polls are usually being done by organizations closely tied to political parties, I guess they weren't just incompetent. So there's probably quite a lot of error margin there.
Raw performance as measured in benchmarks, sure.

But the newer OSes do feel more bloated and indeed are sometimes slower. My 12-inch Macbook (low-powered dual-core i5) on Mojave feels much faster at opening built-in applications and simple tasks than my M1 running Monterey, and yet I can't think of any Monterey feature that I actually use over what Mojave already had - my workflow is exactly the same but now I seem to have to withstand a performance tax.
It's a pretty standard tribal division, much like abortion and everything else. Each side refuses reasonable compromises because they perceive that it would be a slippery slope allowing the other side to ultimately prevail.
NFTs are like collecting beanie babies. When you designate something as a collectible at the start, you’re kind of jumping the gun on that whole “value of history” idea. Some of the most cherished collectibles are the things that nobody thought would be worth anything when they originated.
> The "when" problem is dependent on your application architecture, not on your cache backend nor the number of keys in it.

I would argue the "when" problem is dependent on data models. And it's possible that we are referring to the same thing with different names.

> If, overall, you have an extremely simplistic application architecture

I mean FB is not a simple app. A complicated app can be built on a relatively simple data model as well (that's essentially how TAO works). But we do have memcache as well; and in some cases it can be complicated/hard. I can see that, and I won't argue against it.

> Yes, #2, can't be avoided. But, while it is interesting, and - in some cases, given a specific caching stack - it may be relatively hard, it's not a general problem.

I respectfully disagree. I explained in the blog post about why #2 is a generally hard problem. The analogy I like to use is Paxos. The protocol fits on a single slide. It's easier to feel like you have Paxos work; but it's very hard to have Paxos actually work.
No, the req just becomes a senior role because comp has to be adjusted accordingly. Do you think min wage creates jobs?
The problem is that there's a million strains of anarchism and none of them agree:

* The political layperson thinks anarchism is a synonym for chaos.

* Anarcho-communists think anarchism comes after the organized demolition of capital because they think the existence of a capitalist class by definition creates exploitation.

* Minarchists think the anarcho-communists aren't actually anarchists because they support a very specific form of structure, namely one that opposes markets. Can you really be free from the state if the state needs to tell you how to structure your commerce?

* Left anarchists (broadly any form of anarchism on the economic left, but mostly anarcho-socialists and anarcho-communists) think libertarians are terrible people because they think capitalistic markets are terrible.

* Libertarians don't understand why an ideology opposing the state still wants a state to tell people what forms of capital relations are allowed.

* Anarcho-syndicalists fit somewhere between the minarchists and the anarcho-socialists.

* Religious anarchists think that anarcho-communists are supplanting faith with belief in Marx's specific dialectical materialism.

* Some anarchists oppose the creation of even large, voluntary bodies of cooperation arguing that they are essentially the same as a state. Therein lies the paradox; if participants agree fairly to opt-into forming their own para-state, is this still compatible under anarchism?

* Green anarchists insist that small, distributed networks of mutual aid can hit environmental goals but grapple with the reality that the number of people on the planet alive today are alive at the behest of heavily centralized systems and processes.

and on and on. It doesn't help that by virtue of being minority/upopular ideologies, adherents find a lot more political capital in being uncompromisingly fundamental rather than practical. The minarchist in the corner telling you that issues are complicated, producing long nuanced theses, and urging compromise is boring while the fiery communist telling you to cleanse humanity to build labor relations anew Khmer Rouge style strikes passion into your heart.

It turns out that simply rejecting "coercive relations" or "the State" doesn't lay out a vision that others can agree with, especially because many parties don't agree on what constitutes a coercive relation or the State. In other words, if you tell Hobbes that the Leviathan is unnecessary, you should be prepared to say what comes in its place as that's where everyone disagrees.

You can see this dynamic play out in other comment threads on this story.
> A catalogue from the 1870 is next to worthless for telling us how many relics existed in the early 1500s.

I thought we were talking about how many are on display? What does the number of fragments that existed in the 1500s matter?
From the proposal:

> The proposal here differs significantly from Python's types, as the types in this proposal are entirely ignored, not evaluated as expressions or accessible at runtime as metadata.

So guess sorta prior art but quite different.

Reading the TC39 minutes for this proposal makes me think it’s highly unlikely that the approach as outlined here will go anywhere.

I personally find it uninteresting, but I don't think it decreases the value of HN or the quality of the community-- people will find novelty in different things. It also seems like the kind of content that the guidelines praise. I appreciate when people deep-dive into niche topics because it fosters (in my subjective view) the best type of discussion.
They could single-handedly end homelessness in the country, no profit in that though.
Lol. Yes, let's tow our hitches to the most unreliable and expensive component in our stack and call that progress.

An app in 2030 (or, hell, 2022) should be reflexive. If it works in production, it should work on your machine, without any code changes, and vice versa. Therefore, devs should _absolutely_ be able to iterate locally with this guarantee (enforced by CI).

I do agree that the ability to quickly create an ephemeral, scaled-down version of the app's production environment in $CLOUD is important, particularly for integration testing. But using that for full-time dev isn't a good idea IMO.

Slightly unrelated, this:

> But I Need To Code on a Plane?

> Maybe stop flying so much. Or get a good audiobook and rest your eyes. Maybe even talk to your neighbor! (if they seem social)

is where I stopped reading. Absolutely appalling lack of empathy. I normally fly for work. The flight is the time I use to get shit done that I can't during the week. I hate small talk. So I'll continue coding on the flight, thanks.
I'm shocked at how much negativity there is towards people quitting early just because they can. I sense a lot of this comes from the idea that a well paying job is embedded so deeply in American culture as a status symbol that people who choose to leave willingly must somehow be either stupid or have something else wrong with them.

I'm very glad to work in an industry where people can trade 5-10 years of their lives and then move on to other things that deeply matter to them. My only hope is that those people realize how fortunate they are. The vast majority of people will simply not have that opportunity.
A sad story about man with mental illness.
I really like this but it's slightly different from how I think. I don't think "quirky" and "unique" are all that essential. We don't fall in love with the tilt of the ceiling fan in the restaurant, we fall in
love with something else, and all the quirky details get a halo from that. The halo is so powerful that bland can become its own kind of beautiful, as the Costco cult demonstrates. Browsers like Chrome and Firefox are nothing but a collage of different shades of gray rectangles and we love them.

I think what really matters is simple and almost tautologically obvious. Just... make your product really good at what it's supposed to be for.

Facebook sucks because it's a social network that isn't designed for people to be social. Chrome was great when it was introduced because it was an internet browser that made browsing the internet extremely fast, easy, and organized (tabs!).
If this were a hash collision with some abuse image, then... why can I still see it? I don't get how something can be bad enough to warrant an instant temp ban but not bad enough to hide from the public

Unfortunately, many of the schools that offer people creative degrees are also more than happy to charge them exorbitant sums of money for tuition - more so for the graduate degrees. I have a feeling that there are plenty of creative artists in the movie / gaming / etc. industry that are sitting on $100k-$200k in student debt, making $50k/year in some high cost-of-living area while being worked to the bone.

Those ought to contradict each other. We have multiple judges for exactly this reason. It is a sincerely tall order to get even one other judge, especially when it's required to be from the opposing party, to agree to your ballot stuffing. You're likely to end up prosecuted the moment you pose the question, before you get anywhere near stuffing a box.

Actually I was asking the question looking at the etcd doc you linked. The etcd doc explains like it is just better than Zookeeper.

Then why there are so many projects still rely on Zookeeper and spend so much time on re-writing its features instead of switching to etcd like what OP, ClickHouse (in the discussion), and Kafka (KRaft) are doing? It there something that etcd won't fit?

I've wondered about the subjective experience of "being alive" and whether - if I clone myself and the original me perished - I would continue to experience life. Reading the word "observer" makes me I guess I would, the clone has all my life's experiences and memories, and he'd just observe the memories, thoughts and feelings, and it'd be identical to my memories, thoughts and feelings.
Interesting hardware and very informative video. The display is $1,659 and the Pi module is $200. I’ve never bought a TV over $500 and never will. So definitely not for me. I have 3 4k Roku TV’s in my house and found them to be fine performance wise, have minimal ads and just work. Also the Roku iPhone app can be used as a remote.
Isn't "flushing money down the toilet for a dopamine rush" the definition of a hobby?
The problem is deeper. The traditional grade-based school is not good. It pushes some kids, and stymies other kids. Slicing kids in thin same-age layers is not good, especially for teenagers who cannot form reasonable social structures and end up with gangs and a group of outcasts.

A more reasonable school, after the elementary level, should mix and match kids, so that older kids with more advanced skills could help those who hasn't still advanced as much. It should allow to take courses, much like a college does, in whatever order a kid (and their parents) find most beneficial, independent of the age, with the goal to pass a GED test by the end of the school. Even better, it should be possible to pass a basic or an advanced level of a test for a subject, independent of the age. The presence of several parallel tracks for a subject solves the issue with gifted kids and struggling kids alike.

I don't think I have all the answers, but the standard school education system was invented in Prussia in the middle of 18th century, and is pretty obviously inadequate for today; ask teachers, students, or parents. Though maybe for some parents it looks adequate because it functions as a storage facility for kids for the day. But kids could spend their time much better than that.
That doesn't "take it into account"...it just plots them, based on which presidential candidate the county voted for. And by looking at the plot, it's clear that age-adjusted mortality rates are almost perfectly aligned for rural democratic and republican areas until 2009, when they drop suddenly for the democratic areas. Then they both continue tracking in parallel. Why is that? Can't tell. Sure is suspicious. Could it be that a bunch of counties flipped in 2008?

I skimmed this paper to see if the authors did any of the facepalm-obvious things you'd do to control for covariates if you were serious about doing an observational analysis (e.g. multi-factor regression), but saw nothing. They're literally just looking at differences in slopes in the lines:

> Trends in mortality were examined to identify
changes in slope using Joinpoint Regression Program
version 4.8.0.1, which models consecutive linear
segments on a log scale, connected by joinpoints, and
can measure when slopes of annual percentage change
(APC) undergo a statistically significant change

This is a...well, let's just call it non-conventional...analysis method.
You seem to believe that it should be the normal and expected behavior of Free Software developers to overextend themselves, to go above and beyond their own needs for developing the software, and that society then ought to somehow repay these selfless acts of sacrifice. However, like the “thousand points of light” approach to social welfare, I don’t think this is ever sustainable, or even reasonable to expect. I do think it’s a worthy goal of having developers looking further than their own immediate goals, but our means of getting there differ. You seem to advocate some sort of outreach program with individuals getting recognition from companies (who make the actual money), and the companies for some reason investing that money in selected individuals. I instead want to improve society to the point that developers have enough spare time and resources to spend on improving the software enough that the software becomes valuable to society at large, merely for the miniscule rewards of minor recognition within their small community of developers and the self-satisfaction of knowing that their work is useful. This, I think, is the only sustainable and workable model to avoid developer burnout.
I don't see why this is a problem. Those people not only value freedom, but are able to set a long term goal and sacrifice the present for the future.

As long as they can do the job effectively, none of that hurts you or I.

Homomorphic encryption actually causes some interesting asymmetries here. It is very important to have an open source client, since of course a malicious client could trivially leak your desired index. However, the server’s operation is totally untrusted… so it’s actually not important for the server to be open source. It is still nice for all the regular reasons open source is good, but interesting to note.
I don't percieve any of that but I also don't care if a game framerate is 30 or 60 or 120, it's probably the same type of brain difference! More choices is always a good thing.

I like it much better than Rimworld personally. Rimworld's setting always struck me as odd and unrealistic and I wasn't a fan of the sci-fi aspect of it as it leaves open too many technology ideas. It also required way too much micromanagement whereas songs of syx already has a lot more automation and the units seem to actually do what you tell them to.
>Is that based on experience? Experience of people you know?

We have two vans that have used one of the streets around me as a home on and off for years. One of them has a permanent sign asking for money. The vans are there for a few weeks then they move on and come back after a while. Nothing changes year after year.

I also go by a street that's full of people living in vans that have ruined the neighborhood. The mess is so bad that the local sanitation department has to clean the area on a regular basis. It's ugly. There's nothing freeing about it.

Related, this funny/sad video from 6 years ago about actually asking black people about getting IDs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JGmKHrWKMQ (4 minutes long)

> while the general public does not

The general public spends too much time peck-typing or fighting with ads/spam/etc to even begin to feel limited by the UI "improvements". The problem however is that by removing power-user features and dumbing everything down to the lowest common denominator it also prevents those users from ever levelling up.
It provides them with an environment where they can develop at their own pace, and socialize with other children who think alike, which might not happen with only regular classes, where being gifted can be a disadvantage. I believe the programs are usually not full-time, but an addition to normal school hours.

This, to me, seems very different from being a better path to success as it apparently is in the US, in some kind of segregated system where millions of children are enrolled, up to 15% in some states.

Most studies I've seen also show that over the long term, gifted education does not result in better life outcomes, and does not eliminate differences in background (like being poor vs rich).
I don't think there is value in type hints that don't do anything. Especially because JS is sent over the wire. We already have a compile time type checking system called Typescript.

If you want JavaScript to enforce types in the browser that is a larger discussion.
