It is so amusing to see crypto redoing 100 years of financial scandals at accelerated pace: mass money laundering, ponzi schemes, non separation of client and firm money by brokers, market manipulation, inability to sustain a “bank”run, misleading marketing material sold to retail investors. This is something fascinating for a finance professional.

The paradox being that crypto is proving the benefits of heavy financial regulation by showing us a world without financial regulation (and I am talking as someone who has to deal with banking regulation and think the current massive amount of regulations is ridiculous and kills competition).
I'm not terribly short sighted but also can't see clearly further than about 20cm. I have to use them for everything. I think far sighted people tend to have a more usable range of functioning vision left.
You don't need to charge it at its maximum rate. Even making full use of existing 350 and 400 kW chargers will be useful. The current CCS specification goes to 500 kW.

The Megawatt Charging System is the next step up:

The difference is that I founded and raised millions of VC $$ in the crypto space, and watched some of my friends make tens or hundreds of millions, and yet I made very little from crypto. I didn't build a protocol or anything with a token. The whole time I felt like I could have just built some pie-in-the-sky "crypto for ML" thing and done a huge token sale.
A currency is only useful if you can actually buy things you need with it, and that means (among other things) you need its value to be relatively stable.

Everyone (or almost everyone) pushing cryptocurrency is, in one way or another, a speculator, so their incentives are not aligned at all with people who might actually want to use it as a currency.

Electric cars are clearly not the solution.
I think that you're missing his point which is that when you are unhappy, it is not always easy to pinpoint the cause of that unhappiness and it is very easy to start casting around for an explanation and end up blaming the wrong part of your life for your misery. You might think that this isn't believable but the unhappiness colours everything in your life and so it isn't as obvious as it seems.
Could be serverless applications using FaaS but noone really knows.
My guess would be that things move to data driven environments thus we will not have a platform revolution like we did with k8s but more a tooling revolution that get's rid of the anoying data transformation / engineering process. (Oh damn this would be a thing.)

Another revolution could be edge deployment which is not yet a cloud native thing. But I dont see why K8s could not handle this with some changes.

Generally, K8s bascically orchestrates processes on different nodes. So this is pretty much where platforms hand over responsibility to OS.
Sitting all day at school staring at books and notebooks, memorizing bunch of useless stuff and then doing same thing without any outdoor activity (with focusing eyes at longer distance) with more and more population living in urban setting, I'm shocked!
That's the kind of opinion you get in a break room at work when someone asks why you're not chugging your usual fifth cup by noon. For people to look up an online community specifically about something, they'd have to be a bit more interested in it than the average person.

That's something I miss about the forums of old: the off topic sections were generally just regular users commenting on whatever thread was at the top. It was a bit like a break room and could even form into communities.
I don't think it's about the look, it's more about consistency across Apples operating systems, which is a valid reason to redesign IMO

Not sabotaging. People need to save a lot to be able to retire properly afterwards. State pensions are often not remotely enough on their own.

The behaviour on the savers' side is perfectly rational in that scenario.

OpenInfra Summit Berlin 2022: the highlights
First thought, for "About This Mac" I usually want the model number and serial number.

Second thought, is it fashionable now to not include a "Cancel" button in settings dialogs?

Many times, I have navigated all of the pages of a settings dialog to change a setting or multiple settings, then realise I liked it better how it was before, and have no idea what the settings were before I changed them.

Just yesterday I wanted to try a new theme in Xfce - change the theme, not happy with it, and no idea out of the 50 themes what it was before I changed it, so now I have to go through every option to find the one that was (approximately?) what it was before.
Yes and no. It certainly won't employ the army of want-to-be-a-journalist. But is that a problem if too many people want to work a fancy job and community cannot employ as many? Many people want to be cosmonauts, but we have few seats. Is that an industry problem? Probably not...

However, it can fix the trust issue in journalism industry. Once community is paying journalist wages rather than advertisers, quality should go up.
1. Its a joke, 2. Not talking about scientific units and 3. Its actually a pretty good idea I'd kill for a feel based scale (also a joke)
None of what you're saying implies things were good in 2019, though. It just implies things were getting better compared to the last two crashes we'd had, in theory, for some people.

I think people have a right to feel angry, and I don't think the pandemic is the thing that caused it.
I think most people aren't actively seeking out knowledge about the most terrible parts of our modern society. That's why we don't take the time to look these things up, I get enough negativity from the news.
I generally prefer keeping all the configuration in as few languages as possible and preferably in a single language. Adding filesystem-based config where a config option object in the main language of javascript would suffice goes against that.

Also, given a filesystem config, now I'm forced to have many very small files around for each route where each file is most likely just a call to another service handler. I'd prefer to mash most into bigger files that handle related but distinct routes.

Less important, but comes up, it's nice to be able to match routes based on code and not just string equality ... e.g. everyone seems to like having routes for usernames start with '@'
This is not double-spend. You are spending your ETH to buy a token. This token can be converted back to ETH (plus some interest) at a later date. In the meanwhile, you can do anything you want with this token: trade it, spend it, stake it on another platform, etc.
But if you don’t bring it back, you are not getting back that ETH that you originally spent.
22kwh is 90 amps at 230 volts. Surprised is 20k to install a single one of these.

In the us most newer homes have 200+ amps of service providing 48kw of peak electric capacity.
Fair enough - not trying to condescend just establishing what your opinions may be based on.

My own personal (and very anecdotal) observations are that people really go out of their way to avoid exposure to the outdoors. Depending on your lifestyle, it is really possible to spend the day having only been outside for minutes of a day.

I think things are changing but I feel like the last 20-50 years have not really celebrated an outdoors lifestyle. Whereas my time in Europe is somewhat different in that plenty of people optimise to spend time outdoors - probably due to less oppressive weather and kids were encouraged to play outside a lot more
There are objective things that humans have done that no other being has ever done e.g. invent things.

Also, no two human lives are alike - we don't simply wander around satisfying basic needs as an animal does. Not even two human generations in history have been the same - there's this progress that escapes our own genetic/evolutionary 'programming'.

I wouldn't find it realistic to hold the opinion that humans aren't qualitatively different from all other known beings.
> However, the issue this brings up about structs / types not explicitly declaring which interfaces they implement is a real and unaddressed problem, especially in large codebases. The only tool that I'm aware of that finds implementations is GoLand, at steep JetBrains prices.

Alan Donovan's guru tool could do this, but it kind of broke with modules and it was never updated and deprecated in favour of gopls. I don't know if gopls added this yet (I never really found a use for it).

I don't think it's very hard to write a tool for this though; parsing Go code is fairly easy and the stdlib provides a decent API for it. I think you could have a functional tool in a day if you wanted to, although without any caching it might be a little bit slow on larger code bases.
You could do a heat exchanger - no mixing of the water then but added complexity.

They want to turn a city into a car-free one but regulation ties their hands. As long as the city transitions, its citizens have two problems that lead to them being driven further and further away from the city proper.
> shifting 80kg batteries

The cool thing about these batteries is they're made up of small cells. 8×10Kg units could be swapped out with relative ease.

Or we belt-feed 18650s and eject spent ones like a minigin. Cooler but harder to handle the electrics.
The concept is as terrible as the Ventura Settings app, and the iOS Settings app. A bunch of iOS kiddies thinking they are revolutionizing the world by putting simple tables on a window. Terrible.
Education does not work that way: it is not any shallow programming of reactions, but enabling in the individual a deep growth.

That depth is absolutely crucial in a society.

And your examples are staggeringly tied with contexts in which superficiality is the crucial factor for not seeing the matter nor the issues around the matter.
$20k problably includes the cost of digging tranches and lay new cables. Here in France it's tops a few thousand euros if you want 36kVA, but that doesn't include civil engineering.
As i said before, i disagree with at least half of MMT, but people saying "MMT fantasy land" and then quoting Friedman-loving economists is quite ironic.

Macro economists models aren't predictive, and as such, they are scientifically as useful as the book of Râ.
I agree with this post: GNOME has the best design here and they should just do the same thing.

Just to be 'trendy' and 'fresh look' some software takes this to the extreme, even inside the same app sometimes the top invisible band is for dragging the whole window, sometimes (large! with lots of emty space) list items run edge to edge putting active area there, playing a guessing game with you.

Ask HN: CS grad who barely knows any CS
I (m, 23) will be graduating from a university in Kenya with a CS degree at the end of the year. However, I feel like I barely know anything. I hardly attended classes in my first and second year. I upped my grades in my third year and was even among the top in the class (anecdotally). To be honest, I’ve always felt like our CS course was inferior. For example, I did a Computer Graphics course, but we didn’t even implement line drawing algorithms. My favorite courses were compiler construction (we actually built a compiler) and distributed systems.

I started checking the sources of web pages in high school, and even learnt rudimentary JavaScript and PHP. After high school, I was hoping to join a good uni in the US. I got a relatively decent 1490 in my SATs then bungled up the rest of the application process. I hesitantly joined my current uni. I’ve been coding on and off since then. For school, I wrote introductory assembly, C, and C++: most of which I can’t recall now. Outside of school I learnt Node.JS, Python and Go. I haven’t built any large project: my biggest code base is probably my FYP React Native app or the Vue/Flask web app for my internship.

On paper, it appears I know quite a few technologies. But contrary to that, most of it has been surface level knowledge. To use a friend’s words, I’ve been turning buttons from red to green (doing CRUD). I don't know how databases work, I don't know what exactly ray tracing is, et al. I started applying for jobs last week. To my surprise (or not), I do not fit cleanly into the requirements of any of the junior listings. I can't solve the "easy" problems on LeetCode and my score for the AngelList Fullstack assessment [1] was 18/30. I rather objectively believe I have some gaps in my CS knowledge. I am even considering a boot camp—if one exists for people who already know what a variable is. My tentative plan is to get a part time job, and then spend 6 months reading books, learning tech I’ve always wanted to learn, and hacking on at least one build-your-own [2] type project.

So, how can one effectively fill gaps in their CS knowledge? It’s worth noting that I am overwhelmed, and even procrastinate when I don't have an overarching framework (like school). So it’s not as simple as just sitting alone and studying/coding. I am the "smart" kid who didn’t have to study throughout most of school, but who's "discovered" you have to sit long hours now to be competitive. Is my situation more common than I suppose? Should I suck it up, get a technical support role and build up from there?

That means camping is cheaper than the alternative. It's insane to list saving money as if it were a cost of camping.
Supercaps aren't really anywhere near high-end batteries in specific energy or density. Additionally, capacitors have a linear voltage curve which makes it impractical to use their full stored energy. You could try and work around a lot of the problems by jacking up the voltage very high, but supercaps break down at a relatively low voltage, and have poor self-discharge. It seems like you would need an absurdly large capacitor bank to store enough energy to make it worthwhile, and it would be incredibly inefficient.

You could use batteries as the buffer, though. Most batteries support higher discharge rates than charge rates, which is nice for longevity. You would need a battery pack the same capacity as the car's in order for it to really make sense. You would also probably use lower density cells too, since they don't need to move. They wouldn't fit into the user terminal, so you'd probably locate them in a nearby shack, and run very thick cables. If you had more than one charger, you would probably have an even larger shack. Before you get to millions of battery cells to manage, you might step back and realize that something like a giant flywheel would make more sense, and then you're only one or two steps away from building a power plant.
To be honest, I often felt that a lot of Diversity and Equity campaigns lead to more sterile environments: when I (Not American) joined my current (American) corporation, DEI training hammered down the point to cut out any type of joke and remark unless it was super sterile. This was definitely not something I was used to before. I can see that such things are a necessity unless you want to end up in litigation all the time, because a joke or prank that might seem harmless to 99.9% of people will still offend that one outlier, and at the scale of huge corporations (or huge college campuses) you will find that one person who perceives this as yet another micro-agression at their expense. So everything that isn't bland and non-offensive gets increasingly outlawed, or at least discouraged. It definitely leads to a lot of self-censoring. Am I even allowed to poke fun at my own geekness, or make fun of stereotypes of my own nationality (obviously I wouldn't make fun of other people's traits these days), or will that offend any bystander that also shares these features with me?

Of course, the end result is what you pointed out: in a litigation-happy place (like the US) everything that offends people is going to be dragged into the courts by someone, and is going to cost actual money, and everyone wants to avoid that.
It is an article written more in sadness then anger (though there's anger there).

Anecdote: a couple of weeks ago I took an Uber to Civic Center to BART back to the East Bay. It was the evening but not super late. The driver deposited me on a street behind Market that was, I realised as I got out of the car, filled with people smoking crack or taking other hard drugs. I didn't feel particularly unsafe walking past them all - if nothing else they seemed pretty out of it. It was squalid though. Around the corner I saw one police car. Parked across the street, doing nothing. Observing, I guess, in case someone like me got into trouble? My main thought was: how on earth is this good for anyone? What sort of lives are any of the people I'd just passed going to have? And how many people got robbed to fund all this poison?

A second anecdote: I was on a bus going down Geary. Ticket inspectors got on to check out passes etc. An older man, very thin, was asked for his ticket. I don't have one, he said. He was clearly homeless. Look, said the ticket inspector, I'm going to write you up. But I'm also going to get you help. He proceeded to get the man's details.

These felt like two very different approaches. Only one of which has a chance to improve lives.
You don't have to force them to do it thenselves, just force them to pay for it. This then creates the market and lets big corporation and startups do their thing and the market sort it out because big corps know how to keep their costs down (unfortunately the cheapest option is usually anti-regulation propaganda).

Government regulation leading to efficient free market outcomes. An apparently absurd idea to many even though it's probably the biggest driver of human progress on record.
It does and it doesn't. Futures trade almost around the clock and yet the only time market moves are -really- solidified is during the US trading session when most of the liquidity is sloshing around.

The reason for this is almost all assets are priced relative to other assets. Once the markets for bonds and equities open BTC will rapidly reprice according to movements in these markets so in a way it can't really change independently of them.

It also trades on much greater volume during these hours so as a result the "real price", i.e the volume-weighted average price moves much more consistently during the normal market hours than say on the weekend.
I happen to have 22kW at home (3x32A) but my TM3LR is only capable of 11kW (3x16A) but this means that no matter what my car can always be charged during the time I sleep. Most of the time in practice however I only charge during the hours electricity is really cheap as it's not too often I come in with a completely empty battery and need to drive full battery capacity next day (two days of ~500km each in a row).

I find fast charging is only needed for road trips and quite possibly for fleet operations (taxis, delivery vans etc). For a private car 11kW is plenty and less could be doable as well.

As for grid .. our grid here in Estonia has the opposite problems, most people want to start selling to the grid with solar panels. And grid people being really inflexible (in a charitable interpretation) or greedy (by wanting to people pay for all the work needed to modernize the aging grid) also want to charge ridiculous fees for any increases in capacity.

With lots of EV's I kinda understand that the grid may have more problems but with local generation the load on the grid goes down (as electricity needs to be transported much shorter distances, think: your neighbors). So my trust that 3x32A installation cost of $20k is justified is very low (unless this is a rural farm or something that really is far from nearest transformer).

Just last week someone was quoted 4 million euros to upgrade an existing connection to support a 15kW PV installation (rural, but most of the cost came apparently from needing to upgrade a 330kV transformer station).
They may have a whitepaper or something, but the simplest way to generate higher returns in a bull market is just to use leverage. I can sell you an ETF that returns 2x the NASDAQ, and use the money to buy a 3x and pocket the difference. It looks like I'm giving you a better return than the NASDAQ, but when the market goes down everything obviously collapses because it's only designed to work in one direction.

Of course, that sounds stupid as hell and you'd certainly hope that someone thought of something better, but this is exactly what happened with Terra/LUNA, except with more financial engineering to obfuscate the "if it goes down 25% we're fucked".
They were. It would be trivial to point to a time in the past when things were better than 2019, naturally, but the economy was growing, unemployment was shrinking, labor force participation was increasing, inflation was low. Some portions of the economy were in better shape than others, as the article points out, but the overall picture was good and improving.

I'm not sure a 'Cancel' button is the right UI, because settings pages are a confusing mess - sometimes a change takes place right away, other times you need to press the 'OK' button first. Perhaps an 'Undo' action is the better approach, just like making changes in a document?
Well we do that all the time at the moment, if it drops, prices increase, and your car sells power back (because you've got 300 miles in the battery but only need 30 tomorrow), green hydrogen halt production, bitcoin miners stop usage, grid level storage comes online

On the flip side when there's surplus that's used to make the hydrogen, to recharge the resovoirs, etc.

Many people feed back to the grid with their home solar etc, no difference to electric charging.
