Wow this here is one of the most uninformed, useless comment I ever saw on HN.
CBDCs have NOTHING to do with blockchain or cryptography or cryptocurrencies. They are digital in the sense that your credit card is digital which is to say that the liabilities exist in their base form on a digital (computer) medium, not physical(paper) medium.

You could choose to incorporate a blockchain in a CBDC implemnentation but why would you. Central banks have central in their name whereas a core value proposition of blockchain is decentralization. The Fed isn't going to wake up tomorrow and decide it wants to decentralize the dollar.
Horseshoe theory right once again: Grug and 100x’er megaminds are aligned, and the midwits are over complicating and underperforming.
I've learned over the last decade or so just to avoid Apache software. It seems like the vast majority of their software is poorly written, enterprise abandonware. They are a joke of their former self. Kind of sad really.
Randall thought similarly: https://xkcd.com/1045/

I think there are places for both. However, reading up on a lot of business case studies, I noticed that a major tipping point for a company is often when they decide to step out of their niche.

Diversifying can handicap a company if they aren't careful, because it reduces resources to the core product.

However, it can also be a real boon (see: Microsoft + Azure, which now makes most of their revenue)
> What better way to argue against the absurdity of many patents and trademarks, in general, than to argue against some entity being able to trademark the most common word in the English language!

Except that argument seems to rest on a misunderstanding. They didn't trademark the word, they trademarked the word in a specific context (https://www.gerbenlaw.com/trademarks/universities/the-ohio-s...):

> IC 025. US 022 039. G & S Clothing, namely, t-shirts, baseball caps and hats; all of the foregoing being promoted, distributed, and sold through channels customary to the field of sports and collegiate athletics. FIRST USE: 20050800. FIRST USE IN COMMERCE: 20050800.

Frankly, the way they seem to use it is really odd (https://www.diehardsport.com/college-football/ohio-state-big...). In English, "the" doesn't even really make sense as a standalone word, so I really doubt this trademark conflicts with anything.
I don't think the author adequately considers changes to the local environment of the thermometer, changes in the equipment itself (eg replacement, movement) possible changes in recording methodology and so on.

Dropbox is already used to “sell” adult content. Creators accept payments on something like cashapp, and then send the customer a link to a shared dropbox folder. It does make me wonder what they will change now that they support that directly, because if the traditional payment processors are involved, adult content will definitely be a no-no.

I would assume that the disclaimer protects the copyright holder but not the distributor.

The European approach to consumer protections is generally more about ensuring that things are safe by default than about warnings and disclaimers. A lot depends on the expected competence of the target audience. If you distribute professional tools directly to professionals, they can be expected to read the warnings and understand that misuse could be dangerous. If you market and distribute something to the general public, ensuring safety is your responsibility.

That is a really good use case I didn't think about, since I'm so used to having to leave the terminal to look stuff up in a browser when I can't find something with a manpage or `--help`/`Get-Help`. I'll admit I'm probably being overly skeptical (as I am with a lot of ML things in general), but regardless I think this is really cool, and you guys did a great job on it!

I should probably actually try it instead of trying to second guess it. Is there a way to have it just echo the output instead of having the input ready for you to press enter? Only asking since I'm a clumsy person at the keyboard sometimes :)
The scientific consensus is more than clear, doing your own "research" isn't going to make a difference except to engage with the people that are already happy to ignore science. If anything you'd have to begin to wonder in what ways airports are going to be different from global averages and I can think of a whole pile of reasons why the two would diverge (such as the presence of a large chunk of asphalt or concrete nearby).

https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/

For someone who worked at NASA and has a whole pile of claims to his name I would expect a far better researched piece of work. Thermometers placed randomly with a certain goal (to provide temperature data to pilots) and read out by people on irregular times during the day are a rotten source to extract climate change data from anyway.

Why would the median temperature be a useful measurement here?

Quick, what is the median of these numbers: -2,-1,0,1,2
And what is the median of these numbers: -7,-1,0,1,2

Of course the average and median are identical for a perfectly distributed normal distribution. But part of science is supposed to be reducing the noise from your signal. Why are you adding noise in your quest to investigate the average temperature of the earth?

Yes, that is correct. There are all kinds of gc-less containers implemented for D, including the standard library std.container.array that is much like C++ std::vector. The downside of those is that they are not entirely memory safe.

EDIT: Even slices do not mandate using the GC. The GC will only collect arrays registered to it in the first place. If the slice was malloced, it is not registered and thus won't be collected. The built-in ~ operator allocates the new array with the GC though, so you have do something custom to concatenate slices in GC-free code.
Dropbox Shop is cheaper than Gumroad-- they only pass on the 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction fee from their payment provider. The way Gumroad's tiered fee schedule works, you only get those rates from them if you've sold $1 million worth of product through them.

On the other hand, Dropbox doesn't have anything like Gumroad's Discovery page, so if that's something that you think might drive sales, it might be worth paying Gumroad's higher fees.

Local anecdotes are great if you are old enough to have seen changes, because they are simple and relatable examples.

In Christchurch, New Zealand, a notable example for me is that the snow line has receded since I was a child. Low lying ski fields are struggling to stay open. My parents have noticed less snow on the ground during winter at their rural place (they have been there ~30 years).

> remember where the sea level was back when I was little and also see where it's at now

I am a bit skeptical of that claim! Then again, sea level changes would be difficult to notice in Christchurch because we had fast uplift locally: “these events caused ground motion at the Lyttelton TG [tide gauge], the largest single vertical [earthquake] displacement was >50 mm (cumulative displacement ~110 mm)”[1] and slow uplift probably has occurred too “slow slip events has uplifted sites by up to 0.8 mm/year on average in Wellington and Dunedin”. 150km away the coastline uplifted 2 metres (2 yards)[2], boy was that stinky.

I think this quote is interesting: “At interannual and decadal time scales TG records typically show variations in annual means on the order of 5–10 cm and a possible 60-year oscillation of up to 3 cm. Although to estimate the long-term trend in relative sea level (RSL), five to six decades of reliable and essentially complete TG records are typically required, techniques exist that can use sparse data sets. A TG measures the RSL trend or the change in sea level relative to the adjacent land. Independent estimates of the vertical land motion (VLM) are required to estimate the absolute sea level (ASL). Such motion may occur due to tectonic movements, ice mass loading, glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), or local site instabilities due to, for example, compaction, sedimentation, or water, oil, or gas extraction (Carter et al., ). The stability of a TG site is a critical issue that requires verification (Bevis et al., ) and needs to be considered at both local and regional scales. Historically, many TGs are located in shipping ports where harbor infrastructure is often developed on reclaimed or modified land.”[1].

Am I the only one to find that dropbox is the only cloud drive that works?

Google Drive is _terrible_ with their "shortcuts", you can't have stuff that is shared with you on your local hard drive. It's been terrible for years.

OneDrive is mostly made for windows and iCloud for Mac.

I don't understand the hate.

I use DropBox a lot and quite like it.

I built a CMS for it and it automatically synced my markdown files on my mac with a linux box running on Vultr. I just save a file on my computer and bloop, my website is updated. It's been working flawlessly for several years.
Combustion is required to decarboxylate the THC (which is why eating raw bud will not get you high). Obviously the workaround would have the juice decarbed but I think that it would be difficult to find that in the wild.

I think you found the head of the nail, so let me hit it:

”Simple” code is simple to reason about, but it is not as expressive.

”Complex” code is just as simple to reason about, but being more expressive, it requires more intimate knowledge of the language features and abstractions used.

Then there is ”bad” code, which is confusing for reasons other than domain complexity.

Sometimes complexity just gets handed to a developer even if they say no, and that doesn’t make their complex code bad code.
Thank you for reminding me of my favorite HN comment of all time

I think our games have a too coarse grained degree of simulation.

The problem is that you want different levels of simulation at different times so developers just pick the easiest one to implement that is still fun. If there is an MMORPG you might want the ability to simulate actual cooking but at some point it becomes a grind and you just want to press a button instead of repeating the same recipe over and over again.
I believe I did answer the question, but let me try rephrase!

First, the rates tend to be comparable to _just_ the salary component of a US teammate (Austin, Texas). The US salary component doesn't include insurance, taxes, and other perks, which could add another 30-50% to the cost of employment. With Astro all those items are included in the rate.

Second, and hopefully I answer the question, the reason you would pay for those benefits for an international teammate (and not just an arbitrage play), is because we believe that it allows companies to recruit and retain a different pool of teammates not accessible on the other platforms like Toptal/Turing/Outsourcing, etc.

I hope that's better! Let me know.

Does FDW let you do performant `FULL OUTER JOIN`s and/or `NATURAL FULL OUTER JOIN`s? If so then I would think that would be a decent place to start for remote DB diffs for PG. If might not be enough, of course, if the tables are huge, in which case taking a page from rsync and using some sort of per-row checksum as TFA does is clearly a good idea.
I wanted to say jump instructions at first, but gotos are more hated and considered harmful in these quarters.

You hide the details but you never forget they’re there, lest they spoil and start smelling really bad.

(Also, apparently the MOV instruction on amd64 gives you Turing completeness as proved by that crazy compiler, so gotos may be made of MOVs sometimes, but meh)
I personally almost always use loops (in Java) unless I know the dataset being dealt with is small, unless I'm writing stuff in Scala where maps and flatMaps are first class, but diving into Scala is its own can of worms.

They had sponsored results when searching in the URL bar just like Mozilla is doing now in Firefox (as of v93) with 'Firefox Suggest'.

> frontend Complexity Demon having a grip on the entire industry

Is frontend web development more complex than it needs to be? If so, how?
From the wiki, command.com did not run pipelines in parallel, and in consequence could not redirect standard error:

"For example, on OS/2 and Windows, it can use real pipes in command pipelines, allowing both sides of the pipeline to run concurrently. As a result, it is possible to redirect the standard error stream. (COMMAND.COM uses temporary files, and runs the two sides serially, one after the other.)"

Obviously, this process and I/O management would require a massive rewrite, sufficient to make cmd.exe a new (but somewhat compatible) implementation. This was not possible in DOS or CP/M.

Delayed variable expansion, pushd/popd, file name completion, expression evaluation and improved control structures are all fundamental changes that are strongly influenced by the Berkeley C Shell written by Bill Joy. The wiki specifically mentions the C Shell.

The 8086(/8) binary for command.com is not found in modern windows (I think the "wow16" layer was removed from 64-bit windows); cmd.exe is a 32-bit binary running under wow32, which it must be to invoke these new features in system calls that could not exist in DOS.

The wiki says this about the relation between command.com and cmd.exe:

"cmd.exe is the counterpart of COMMAND.COM in DOS and Windows 9x systems, and analogous to the Unix shells used on Unix-like systems."

I think that very little source code from command.com ended up in cmd.exe.
Around the time I joined Tailscale, actually just before, I had a look at rsh with an eye in this direction.

The problem is that rsh is very stale and unmaintained - even those versions that have had releases in recent years (e.g. GNU Inetutils) are very old inside - even if they've kept up with patches, they have not kept up with features e.g. modern user session construction.

It also turns out that ssh the client, much more so than ssh the protocol, is really a key integration point and API that users end up needing. It has a broad feature set that turns up in use cases all over, many of which rsh does not handle.

> Now we're being told what we can and can't do in random ways in America and it's a really strange form of hypocrisy.

Are these ways random though, really? Or do they reflect that we have vastly divergent ideas of what society should be from the “my home is my castle” folks to the “we live in a society” folks. For the former it’s an abrogation of their sacred right to do whatever they want. For the latter it’s not wanting to be subjected to powerful corporations doing sociopathic things to make as much money as possible.
It would lead to that pronunciation as English likes its schwas and disappearing schwas, just like French does. (Someone else pointed out that "swallowed" schwa is closer to the French pronunciation, too.)

I've lived in parts of the country where "libre" and its counterpart "gratis" were somewhat more common English vocabulary words, and their pronunciations were much more in line with "rhymes with zebra" (LEEB-ruh) and "rhymes with lattice" (GRAH-tuhs). To be fair, those were parts of the country with a bit of a "South midwestern" drawl and some might take those to be lower class, "less educated" pronunciations, but they certainly sounded a lot more like the natural pronunciations of such words in English to me.

I just checked two of three SSDs available to me. Two were exact multiples of power-of-two gigabytes -- 200 GiB, 120 GiB. One was 500.3 GB.

We'll have to agree to disagree on the UX part. I find the UX to be very poor compared to Fedora, for example. There's nothing OpenBSD does better than its competitors by enough of a degree to make up for its warts; it's not significantly more stable or reliable than FreeBSD or Debian.

The documentation does tend to be pretty good, but... honestly? I just don't find that to be a compelling reason to choose an operating system.
