> Imagine a world where whether Ukraine gets to stay sovereign or becomes part of Russia is determined by a global consensus of the wealthiest wallet addresses on a blockchain.

Actully, this is basically what’s happening in your example.

The citizens of the wealthiest countries are participating in the war by sending armaments and aid to Ukraine. The majority of the world’s citizens* are sitting it out or providing some amount of assistance to the Russian side, mainly through commerce.

It’s not on the blockchain, but essentially wealth is “voting”.

FWIW I’m far, far from being a blockchain supporter. I’m just addressing your example.

* yes, at the UN the majority states voted against Russia, but if you look by populations, the west won an “electoral college” victory on the topic.

What did I insinuate? All I said are the two questions below:

1.) Are you using a script?

You've posted with a remarkable consistency over the past few days. I went back to 150 submissions and collected the timestamps; the longest you've gone without posting is just shy of 67 minutes. I looked at the distribution of intervals between posts, in minutes, rounded to a single decimal place:

44 30.0
21 35.0
20 35.1
14 29.9
7 65.0
7 60.0
6 34.9
3 40.0
3 30.1
2 60.1
2 28.2
1 66.8
1 65.1
1 61.8
1 55.1
... this is the top 15

You're highly likely to submit a link every 30 minutes, and if not that, then every 35 minutes. You're practically like clockwork, over 50% of your submissions happen with an interval like this.

My lib’s show HN which addresses most of his concerns, royally got 5 votes.

Given that Rulex was obviously a success, I didn’t feel like my comment would take from them.

Also, the discrepancy between the upvotes on that comment and the lack of uptick for compose-regexp felt interesting to point out

Artificial scarcity really annoys me, because it's just pure greed. I understand paying multiple fees for multiple physical objects - there's a real cost to manufacturing & distributing a physical object.
But duplicating & distributing digital information is so cheap as to almost be free, but pricing doesn't reflect that.

> Bitcoin undermines governments.

Bitcoin undermines certain possibilities of governments, yes.

As most western governments have been successfully hijacked by big corporations so that politics are skewed heavily in favor of the corporations' interests, it has become a tough decision IMO between:

- A: letting governments continue to be the executive branch of the Exxons, Apples, Googles, Facebooks, Amazons, ... and letting the latter continue with making few people richer and letting Gini coefficient converge to 1

- B: taking away governments' favorite (because in the beginning it's so nicely subtle that people won't object) instrument (more debt) to enact politics and thus forcing them to make uncomfortable choices instead

The current system appears to be instable (at least to me). Instability hurts more than continuity, everything else being equal.
Bitcoin could become either an effective threat to discipline governments to not let their spending get out of hand or the very foundation to build a new stable monetary system.

We'll see. If it turns out to be more stable, people/institutions will in the long term converge to it.

> ... and a larger chunk of the economy would go underground.

Which is exactly what needs to happen (ideally not in a crash but in a soft transition) in order to get humanity's ecological foot print to a sustainable size in the short time that's left.
As soon as the economy has transitioned to sustainable processes, it may of course grow again, but right now, what we need is gentle shrinkage or "degrowth".
The comparison you made between money, and time is one which I think perfectly explains the situation you faced. I can imagine it must be incredibly difficult to spend so many hours working on something you're not sure is going to work out. Time is, I think, valuable to us all. Some of us often feel we don't get enough of it, and I think sometimes we overlook how important free time is when making decisions in life. Sounds like you're doing well now; you learnt an important lesson through this experience. Hope it all goes well in the future!
I feel they should make Node.js 18 lts sooner than when they do these. That way people have time to switch if they only use lts.

It seems like you're reading the argument incorrectly. The argument being made is

The argument is _not_

> AFAIK, you still have to be very careful since data races based on data dependencies can never be excluded in general

Hmm. Maybe I don't understand what you're getting at here. It seems like you're suggesting something like a[b] = x could race in safe Rust because we don't know b in advance and maybe it ends up being the same in two threads ?

But Rust's borrow checker won't allow both threads to have the same mutable array a so this is ruled out. You're going to have to either give them immutable references to a, which then can't be modified and so there's no data race, or else they need different arrays.

This is boringly easy to get right in theory, Rust just has to do a lot of work to make it usable while still delivering excellent runtime performance.

Assuming there is no script, it seems quite odd for an account to be posting every hour. It's just not normal behaviour. In Reddit, this would be classified as a bot for karma-farming.

Not only myself, but a lot of people find it strange for people to invest their energy and time and attention to be using a shared account to be reposting stuff hourly if not for karma-farming. And it seems to be doing this straight for days at a time, just based on the recent account history.

In the case of Elizabeth Holmes, I do actually feel the media played down the role of her partner in crime at Theranos, Sunny Balwani (a man) in all the fraud.

Also in the case of Holmes there wasn't anything there. It was all fraud. In the case of Sandberg, no doubt she's a supremely capable executive. But her image in the media was carefully curated by a PR campaign and totally not true, according to that article I frustratingly can't find now.

I am only talking about their public image, not what their jobs were.

So you claim that 10 well paid engineers are better than 15 average paid engineers?
Sure if you want anything cheaper and more widespread, abolish the monopoly on it. Including violence. When your ancestors opted into monopoly of violence, they had their reasons. Behooves you to try to understand the reasons first, not blindly exclaiming "this is all fucked i want out". Also, consider that most likely 90% of world population is living under even more dysfunctional institutions.
Yes, this is of high interest. The problem is more common than many people think and I anticipate this post with great enthusiasm.
I like this, I've already started versioning with the (2 digit lol) year as major version so 22.19.73 is the current year/release/build, but a standardized thing like this would be great. When versions gets old the version numbers start to add up you might as well use the year, ie Iphone 14, you might as well call it 22.
Without meaning to disparage the OP, enterprises don’t put you on HN when their feature isn’t supported. They pay enough to focus the mind on important features.

Enterprises are an 80/20 play. Keep your top clients happy and you’ll be fine. The first time you get a large order you realise that’s where your focus should be.
you can trust people all you want. take iou's, accept people at their word, etc -- the existence of trustless systems does nothing to negate this. for everyone you don't trust, you can use a blockchain.

> we should strive for a future where humans are not motivated to hurt other humans.

i don't even know what to say when people say things like this. we should strive for good will and cooperation, but we must be prepared for situations where there is none. this is like arguing against allowing people to put locks on doors. when you create situations where distrust is disallowed, defecting becomes the winning strategy.
That’s certainly how I interpreted it. It never occurred to me to think it meant “thread handles” specifically.

What do dynamic, tag-based, floating mode, master-stack tiling, gaps, and struts mean here?
Also Apple has lots of knobs to turn due to the high degree of vertical integration. There is a lot of slack they can pick up in OS performance (e.g. process scheduler, memory management). So their overall benchmarks can continue to trend up even if the locus of improvement varies.
I don't think most are stuck with a mind-numbing job of logging into a stupid remote PC to track metrics. We look for any entertainment we can find and leave little notes and stuff for the next person.
Actually linked earlier in the thread! A fun read about someone building their tolerance for caffeine during the pandemic, who was jittery and anxious before.

When M1 came out, I remember a lot of excitement around the past progress of performance in the A* core line; people extrapolated future performance and thought they were going to get +20% (ST) every 18 months on top of M1.

I think this expectation of sustained performance gains was a part of some of the more glowing reviews, rather than a narrow evaluation of M1 itself.

Anyway, it wasn’t a reasonable expectation. But I think people expected it anyway.
For how long? Not that I think it's healthy or anyone should do this, but for most of the past two decades, American military services regularly deployed units of thousands at a time for 15 months overseas, during which they worked up to 20 hour days with 2 hours of sleep, 7 days a week for the entire 15 months. And they did this with zero chance or expectation that they might get rich, also knowing there was quite a good chance they'd end up permanently disabled.

For better or worse, devotion to a cause is a proven motivator of human action.

As for alternatives in the business world, we'd need some economic system that wasn't analogous to warfare in which one firm outcompetes all others to take most of the winnings. If you want a lesson from the US losing in Afghanistan, and arguably losing in Iraq, in spite of being able to drive its labor force to such extreme exertion, consider that a massive advantage of the insurgency was their ability to mobilize a part-time gig-based workforce that mostly worked from home. But which lesson does business learn from that? Allow work from home? Or getting part-time contractors with no benefits to kill themselves and sacrifice children for you?

> I said their design didn't pass "the hookers and blow test," which is that if you can't use the payment and identity scheme for grey market transactions, nobody is going to adopt it. Not because they are vice ridden manaics, but because the human animal knows when it is in captivity and it will find ways to resist it.

"Nobody is going to adopt it" is an extreme opinion. People have resentments about society but most are minor. Few enough people feel captive that most continue as members of significant societies. The degree to which people feel resentment and pursue extreme "solutions" is a complex variable. Some societies succeed better than others in meeting needs without needing a cryptocurrency.

> The stupidity of technocracies is illigitimate, and it breeds contempt and corruption. This may seem meta

The phenomena that you are describing here are resentments about characteristics of people or of society (or of a particular society). These resentments are unlikely to find a solution in another even more dubious techno-financial construct for which literally no one will ever care except for the value that credulous people ascribe to it.

> I'd argue if you haven't thought these other parts through, crypto really is just some naive kids building a bike shed to fill with shaved yaks and thinking they're reinventing democracy and freedom.

Yes, I do agree.

> the arbitrariness creates a sense of illigitimacy where there is nothing to trust or believe.

Problems of "illegitimacy", trust, and belief, are not going to be solved by cryptocurrency. In fact, the cryptocurrency movement has no trust and no credibility at all.
> Hint: rank-based choice is one easy solution to this problem, but notice how most parties around the democratic world seem to ignore that yet simple and easily computable fact as of the 21st century.

Please stop thinking the "democratic world" means the US. The countries with that broken system are US, Canada, UK and former colonies. Meanwhile in the EU the norm is proportional representation, which doesn't have that problem.

Furthermore, i disagree with the notion that social or economic progress means "losing" something to significant amounts of the population ( higher taxation of the highest income individuals would be a loss for them, but they're a fraction of a fraction of the population), and i disagree even more with the notion that younger people have less to lose, especially on the social axis.
I feel the same way. Practices surrounding death are deeply individualistic and have a cultural and religious backdrop. Everyone is different in how they handle the grief even within the same family.

In my case, I find that a viewing just gives me really bad lingering feelings on top of the sadness from the death. For me, it does nothing to provide closure and makes getting over it more difficult. The death event itself, actually, was very much a relief. That's what signaled closure and the end of suffering. It was the viewing that made the experience drag on for far too long though I can accept that others feel very differently.

This is weird, but I am most disturbed by the hands of the deceased. They have an uncanny unreal appearance. So much better to remember them alive. Yet other family members are able to pose selfies with the deceased, I found that repulsive and enraging but kept it to myself.

Ironically, death and it's rituals are all about the living and their needs and desires. It has very little to do with the person who actually dies.
> This seems like an absolute perversion of capitalism

You are criticizing capitalism for the sins of socialists. Capitalists never advocate for subsidies.
Isn’t the “semantic” part of semantic versioning that you can tell whether there could be breaking changes in a new release.
In high cost of living areas it isn’t too uncommon to have a 750k mortgage. In much of the country that’s insane but a 2400 sq foot house can easily go for $1,000,000 - $2,000,000 in high cost places.
Except, Python is strongly typed.
That's true, but it certainly doesn't change the fact that it's wrong.

There is no excuse for what they're doing, it's just plain grabbing money because they can, as much as they can, on the backs of an army of unpaid volunteers with good intentions.
But you dont get the most important part: Will installing the 2022.05.03-37492af update break my build or not?

Semantic versioning is about compatibility and amount of changes, sort of. I know that going from 3.0.1 to 3.1.0 wont break the API.

Not once have I been asked when 3.0.1 was released - and if Im asked, I can look at the release posts, or anything else.

Cute idea, but appending a git commit hash to the end of a semantic version may be more useful than any of this.
We use this. Caveat: date is not the day of release if you are doing stuff in the “easy way” and aren’t full CD to prod. So your release on the 23rd could be something packaged the 21st

This basically doesn’t matter though, and is easy, and avoids most ordering questions as well that come with CI.

Highly recommend, and at least think semver is silly for versioning applications in general (libs are different of course)

Indians are already making life hell for US corporations. That’s one of the reasons they’re looking more to East Europe even though they’re more expensive.

I used to work for Microsoft and was prevented from starting bigger projects as they didn’t want to expand the US team, instead wanting to expand their Chinese and Eastern European teams as they were cheaper.

Microsoft is a big, inefficient, and amoral company. You could have taken advantage of that and once inside and after a few years of demostrable good work and in making friends you might have been able to score an internal move to the US with the associated pay bump. I’m not saying it’ll be easy but there aren’t many ways to 5x your salary. US kinda sucks right now but money can generally shield you from a lot of that.
A window manager is only part of what's needed to get a full desktop setup. While desktop environments come with a bunch of programs preselected for you, a window manager really just manages windows. You essentially have to assemble your own desktop environment.

Afaik you can use i3 as a replacement for kwin if you want the i3 experience with a premade desktop environment.
