Testing features on Linux. Sounds dumb a d obvious, but if you use a windows laptop for work, being able to pipe into a Linux VM that is corporate approved is nice. Also use it for certain debuggers that aren't supported on my host OS. Basically as a stitch in for the fact I can't use Linux at work.
You're both already explaining the reasoning through your wording, "present BTC chain" and "potential forks". If you fork a project, even if yours becomes more popular, that doesn't mean you get to take over the original name.
>The content producer is incentivized to make content as quickly as possible in as little effort as possible and cover it with as many ads as possible.

It all depends on the author/producer resources and goals. If resource acquisition doesn’t enter in the equation of a specific work, there is no reason to expect the advertisement industry to influence it directly in such a way, does it?
I'm guessing here, but a lot of subreddits have a minimum karma requirement to make posts or comments (it's a decent anti-spam measure, but easily gamed by low effort bots reposting content every month or so, pretty high chance a lot of people won't have seen it before).

And as with other social media companies, the company behind it is fine with it; bot engagement and bot content is still content, people still watch it, upvote it, and ads and other things are still sold.

There are a lot of prebuilt VM's around, you might get some ideas there:

https://app.vagrantup.com/boxes/search?page=1

I use Parallels to run windows on a Mac, a pretty common use. I've heard of people running game servers in VM's e.g. Minecraft
I think this misses the elephant in the room: the tech may have flaws, but there's far worse flaws.

Who is it that actually has control and influence in crypto?

1. The developers.
2. The miners.
3. Everyone else (very distant from the rest)

The developers aren't decentralized at all, they typically are a single, small team with some sort of leader. They can make a lot of decisions almost unilaterally.

Then very close below are the miners. The miners have serious economic concerns, so they can do things like refusing to run the software the developers provide. So we can expect devs and miners to be in close contact in most cryptocurrencies.

And very far below that is everyone else. You can run your "full node", but most nobody cares. Miners decide what goes or doesn't on the network.

And that's why Bitcoin is the way it is. Back when fees rose to $50/transaction because the capacity was overwhelmed...

Did the devs have a problem? No, because they had ideas how to sell add-on products to deal with that issue, and such products are much easier to sell when there's a problem that needs fixing.

Did the miners have a problem? No, because the network was still heavily used and they were reaping all those juicy fees coming their way.

Did the users have a problem? Yes, their experience sucked badly. But for both parties actually in control solving those problems would require losing money.

And thus crypto ends up being controlled by a small cabal of elites, while the normal users get screwed.
I love these small but significant improvements that are kind of obvious but were hidden in plain sight.

For years I didn’t even consider there was an alternive to writing in paragraphs, despite using git and markdown daily.
It’s the other way around—white people and their values are the target, not the proxy. For example, the joke about the rapper DaBaby getting cancelled for his comments about sexual minorities (but not his killing another Black man) is a commentary on white liberal moral priorities. Likewise the joke about gay people being able to pass as white with respect to the police is a commentary on the intersectional hierarchy that puts sexual minorities above Black people.
If you became that fly, you’d soon wish to be squashed rather than listen to adolescent chitchat.

As long as there is any kind of standard you will get good open source that works. Linuxboot and co.
> VM to only run a browser in there, to keep the memory under control

For other Linux users out there — a VM is not needed for this, use a cgroup with memory limits. It's very easy to do with systemd, but can be done without it:

$ systemd-run --user --pty --property MemoryHigh=2G firefox

The kernel will prevent Firefox from using more than 2 GiBs of RAM by forcing it into swap (including all child processes). To quote systemd.resource-control(5):

> Specify the throttling limit on memory usage of the executed processes in this unit. Memory usage may go above the limit if unavoidable, but the processes are heavily slowed down and memory is taken away aggressively in such cases. This is the main mechanism to control memory usage of a unit.

If you'd rather have it OOMed, use MemoryMax=2G.

It's actually very useful for torrent clients. If you seed terabytes of data (like I do), the client quickly forces out more useful data out of the page cache. Even if you have dozens of gigabytes of RAM, the machine can get pretty slow. This prevents the client from doing that.

There are lots of other interesting controllers that can put limits on disk and network I/O, CPU usage, etc.
A synthetic reality would be amazing. People would figure out all kinds of killer apps in the first year. Wearing a monitor on your face though is not capable of creating a synthetic reality.

I always see people mention VR fitness. I would love a synthetic gym with every piece of gym gear ever made and then build our own new gear from there. The problem is there is no way to lift synthetic weights by just strapping a monitor to your face, obviously.
What are your thoughts on TipTap?
Try a different browser. MS Edge returns results while FF doesn't on the same OS.
Isn’t this a large portion of what happened to Japan? They’ve been facing declining gdp for something like 4 decades, too.
Because now you get a lifetime label as a registered sex offender if you get caught.

Additionally, those of us who grew up in the 80's had the absolute fear of AIDS drilled into us. IMO, the AIDS epidemic blunted the libido of at least one generation.

The Japanese buy and large aren't having sex, so I'd disagree with you that they're a good example of women having lower standards. Their desire for men to have things and a stable life is probably biological and immutable.

You can see their role as messengers of the truth pretty often. I saw this one video that I thought was pretty great where a group of three women were out. The videographer/interviewer had the two friends call up the first's boyfriend and ask to "hang out" behind her back as a sort of joke. The first woman then freaked out, not at her boyfriend for wanting to cheat but at her friends for showing it. If you watch carefully this sort of thing happens pretty often.
We used pachyderm before MLOps was even a thing, sadly, back then they tried to solve everything at once while failing with the most basic needs.

If your data versioning "Utilizes a Git-like structure that enables effective team collaboration through commits, branches and rollbacks", then it means you can only consume one version at a time in your pipeline. This is, unfortunately, a fatal flaw. Especially when working with time series !
Well I’ll be darned. I thought I found something interesting. Tried it for several minutes, even altering the search somewhat (adding the state, changing capitalization), without getting results, but now it works. I’d delete my submission if I can find out how.
Fascinating study although not exactly what I expected ( I thought it would be about brain deliberately ignoring information and not allowing it to pass for conscious consideration ). Naturally, this is a little different.

What is more interesting is that based on the study only tiny fraction of population wants to know regardless.
People in their 20s having their own digs is, I think, a decidedly American phenomenon. In most of the poorer parts of the world (including, for example, Central and Eastern Europe), 30+ years ago younger crowd managed to have sex just fine, using dorm rooms, snatching time while parents were away, etc. My 2c.

It was always the goal to support everything from micro to hpc. So more extensions were always expected. However the R in RISC revers to the how many instruction you have to implement to get a job done.

If you write for a microcontroller, RISC-V is just as small now as it was when it started.

What has a union got to do with „give devs a seat at the table“?

By „seat at the table“ you mean a way to get what they want by force or against the will of the owners.

You don’t need a union to collect employee feedback. Smart management will do this and if they don’t then employees can jump ship to a competitor that does.
A very-low earth orbit satellite in a 55 degree inclination will have a few hours of passing over Ukraine every hour and a half, then a few hours of not passing over at all. They can play with the apoapsis to change the dwell time a bit, but even four satellites will have significant coverage problems. Moreso if all were launched simultaneously, as orbit raising and lowering will be expensive in terms of delta V and it will take significant time to spread them all out. Even moreso if they are based on the ion thruster Starlink bus.

This might be a good mission for the SR-71, had it still been flying. It could round trip out of Mildenhall in two hours, that's probably about half a million dollars per flight. So this launch could have conservatively bought 600 SR-71 flights, which can be timed as per demand and not when the satellites just happen to fly overhead. And the belligerents know when the satellites are flying overhead, they have far less warning with the SR-71.
I am genuinely unsure, and had to google it. Is RT supposed to be the abbreviation for Rotten Tomatoes?

That's fair. I see Basecamp as general project management tool, not a tool geared towards software development.
Huge externalities of “paying” for a car are not paid by car users. Costs of fossil fuel pollution, tire pollution, brake dust pollution, danger to pedestrians/cyclists, health costs due to sedentary lifestyles, increased fuel consumption due to distances between destinations being further which means mass has to travel further which means more energy consumed.

I could even add kids not being able to play outside freely. Could maybe even more stratified societies and less communal atmospheres due to cars allowing people to be spread out.
Definitely a neighborhood-dependent thing. I get more drunk people in need of help than proselytizers, salespeople, or scam artists.

By which I mean, I don't think I've ever gotten any of those latter three, and have dealt with a couple of the former. (Mostly drunk men in the middle of the night, so I totally understand why some people wouldn't want to answer the door in that situation.)

And yet people used to worry about overpopulation. Several countries already depend on immigrants to fill vital jobs, despite there sometimes being quite a bit of xenophobia towards those immigrants.

In the past, some people argued for a much smaller world population (however they imagine we could possibly get there), but now that it might happen, we realise our economies run on young people.

And yet we don't pay young people enough and we don't give them the opportunity to start families. Much of this is definitely also a policy problem: make sure young people can buy a house and start a family, can afford to raise kids, have time off with their family, etc.

The obesity epidemic is also a significant contributing factor. Fat reduces testosterone levels, endurance levels, makes it harder to maintain an erection, and directly steals length off the base of the penis. Combine fat men with fat women and a lot of positions are effectively untenable due to length, flexibility, and obstruction issues. Fat sex is just worth way less effort than fit sex. I know this first-hand.
I mean, I have sex with my wife on average 3-5 times a week. It's not daily but it comes close. It only changes when she's recovering from giving birth or one of us is sick.
Considering the unsustainable per-person resource usage of the rich world, maybe a little decline in birth rate isn't so bad?

Did you mean "Platonic friends"?

Although it sounds kinda nice to have Plutonic friends as well, since they'd have yachts and what not.
Docker. I'd rather have a proper environment I control than whatever bastardization "Docker Desktop" is. It uses VMs in the background anyway.
Despite sounding weird, the multiplication without division is actually very helpful for low cost and resource constrained MCUs/soft-CPUs. Even utilizing the `mno-div` complication flag, division can still occur in precompiled binaries that are linked (because the linker looks at the -march setting). By standardizing the use of multiplication without division we can avoid dealing with this.

As a side note, I ran into this exact problem in a work project last year and needed to implement software division in an illegal instruction handler to get around it.

Google is very much a monopolist in search. They have more than a 80% usage share of the space (most places I look at say 90% today), and have had that much share for more than a decade. (On a separate note they are in a duopoly with Apple in the Phone OS market and a borderline monopoly in the web browser market, giving them a lot of power to throw around in general.)

Facebook I go back and forth on. They are undoubtably the biggest player in the social media space, but if you count all social media (reddit, twitter, Pinterest) they are large but definitely not monopoly level. On the other hand, when it comes to real name interaction and local community organization they are completely dominant over the other players. Ultimately I consider the acquisition of instagram to have been over the line enough to consider them deserving of the treatment of a monopoly, but it’s not as obvious a case a google. Their space also isn’t as cut-throat as you would expect due to network effects, and there are other countries where they are in fact locally a completely dominant monopoly.

Amazon is definitely not a monopoly by any reasonable definition. All of the fields they are in have multiple other major players as well that they are in fierce competition with.
Is HN audience anyhow different?

> Atari and Commodore both outsourced their OS development and it shows.

AFAIK, the only part of AmigaOS that was "outsourced" was that they used TripOS as the base underlying DOS, but AFAIK Intuition and Workbench were all done in-house by Commodore engineers.

> I dare anyone, then or now, to a) succinctly and accurately explain the difference between AmigaOS and AmigaDOS, and b) explain why that should matter in the first place

AmigaOS is the entire package, AmigaDOS is the underlying DOS that everything else runs on top of. It doesn't really matter to anyone, however, except those actually doing low-level AmigaOS development

There are definitely a lot of bad candidates out there these days but I still find that I'm able to filter this by ignoring overly-hyped resumes and giving them a chance to talk about something that excites them as an engineer. If the answer is "learning new tech, becoming a better programmer, getting better at continuous integration", or something similarly encouraging, they're probably good to go in a few weeks to a couple of months. particular if they talk specifics and aren't talking out of their ass. If you can't discern that yourself then I don't know what to tell you ha. I'm aware that lying/cheating during interviews can be really common in enterprise. One approach that might work there is to try to meet candidates out at meetups in the area - this acts as a sort of self-filter and you can chat in person before the interview even gets extended.

There is some biological connection between the two, though.
I am yet to read a convincing study about these supposed detrimental effects of porn. All these texts start from the assumption that it is bad without anything like a root cause analysis.

For example, yes, single people tend to watch more porn. But are they single because they watch porn (demonstrating that porn is a social inhibitor)? Or do they watch more porn because they are single (in which case porn is just a way to get some of the pleasure they would otherwise have with a partner)?

Same for depression, which does not help going out and meet people. Should we then deduct that porn causes depression? Of course not, and yet this is the starting point of a lot of anti-porn rants.

These arguments also fit too well with puritanical and repressive world views, which makes me very suspicious as motivated reasoning is pervasive in these discussions.

> anecdotally has cured many

That’s the thing, anecdotes are not data. I also have anecdotes of people who have a healthy life and watch porn regularly. Without an epidemiological study it does not mean much. From my experience, “watching porn never killed anyway, and anecdotally has cured many” is just as true as your assertion.
