Didn't Craigslist fully run with 10-20 people, even at it's height after it became huge?
Do you think 29/30 is aging out of NYC? Seems like people stay well into the flow of cool things there towards 40.
Bitcoin doesn't require these amounts of energy to operate but the current block reward / value combination incentivizes it. For example, if miners were taxed such that electricity were twice as expensive for them, then the amount of energy that they consume would halve, with no practical impact on Bitcoin's operation to those merely wishing to transact.
10 years ago was around the time asm.js was just getting started, and that's what drove a lot of these optimizations. I think V8 is a lot more clever now. And the other browsers have largely caught up as well (or even surpassed V8 in some cases). And you can now safely ignore IE :)
How? And what would their address tell me?
It's called logic. Axioms + induction and deduction.
But all three of them also accept USD or your local currency. So the use case remains... evading the authorities? That's not a compelling use case for the general population.
As a front end dev usually a design idea I want to propose to our UX team, or a prototype that will get thrown away.

For example, I had some ideas for adding interactions/animations to some charts and used it as a chance to try out Svelte
I always like to port L0pht’s hphack.c as my first project.

It’s quick but it covers string handling including some weird stuff, sockets, and networking pretty well.

I even do this with GUI programming as it involves callbacks.

Ok, we’ll now I feel that I was mistaken earlier, and want to offer an actual apology. I think our discussion got off on the wrong foot and some of the ad hominem involved annoyed me. I think this post (that I’m replying to) shows that I was wrong in my judgements, and I think your idea to rescues other cities is a good one.

I think NYC’s location is one of the difficulties involved with such a plan. NYC is partly desirable because its locality makes it an easy hub for travel to and from Europe. You can make other cities attractive by other means, but it will be hard to beat this and the entrenchment of current residents and businesses.

The idea of eliminating suburbs to fix supply is interesting. I do think that could be beneficial, but at the same time, that also would require regulations or policies that push development away from suburbs and into cities. Either way you’ll need some kind of regulatory intervention.

The question is whether or not supply increase is sufficient to alter the market, I’m skeptical of such a claim because new residential developments crop up in NYC all the time but it doesn’t seem to help drive down rates at all. Furthermore, NYC’s population for the decade had its peak in 2016, yet prices then were more affordable[1]. Maybe there’s data that shows there’s an extreme influx of individuals now and the population in NYC surpassed this number in 2022, but I’d be surprised if that were the case esp. when you factor in new building developments that occurred in the meantime. I don’t think it boils down to a simple supply problem. It may be due to the fact that brokerages are snatching up properties and charging more than individual landlords, it may be a side effect of inflation, it may be predatory profit seeking after the pandemic. I don’t know, but I don’t think merely throwing up a bunch of new buildings will necessarily fix things, and as I mentioned before, we need to consider the other negative consequences of such a plan (density, the consequent environmental impacts etc.)

Interbank nightly balance settlements between large institutions. A distributed cryptographic ledger would be great for this kind of thing. A private “coin” between mostly trusted partners with provisions for reversing transactions as needed.

Useful because it would have lower administration overhead than one bank maintaining a service for exchanging funds, no concerns about downtime, and all sorts of guarantees about the correctness of balances. Lots of back end software that just doesn’t need to be written or maintained.

Lots of similar usecases where small mostly trusted groups need to keep track of asset transfers or trade between them.

hypothetically, where does one find latest markets?
I don't know if I agree. Adyen is worth $45 billion euros (so $45 billion :) .) From their last annual reports, Adyen '21 GPV: $561B +70% YoY; Stripe '21 GPV: $640B +60% YoY but Stripe has ~2x take rate on Adyen because they are more PLG versus Adyen has many more enterprise customers.

So $74b is probably about right or maybe even low?
Totality checking like that in Idris is one nice example. That's kind of circular though - it isn't Turing complete because it has totality checking (i.e. you must prove the program terminates).
money laundering?
Or allow a leading comma:

{
, home = "/home/bill"
, privateKey = "/home/bill/.ssh/id_ed25519"
, publicKey = "/home/blil/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub"
}

Or, to make it markdown-ish:

{
- home = "/home/bill"
- privateKey = "/home/bill/.ssh/id_ed25519"
- publicKey = "/home/blil/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub"
}

This is just to play with the idea that leading punctuation may be preferable because it all aligns in the same column.
It is not irrelevant. Check out the capitalization of the article’s title in its website.
This opinion is ironic because this is exactly what the author intended to describe -- the typo IS hard to find.

The "Hello, World" example is nothing more than JSON, showing a string repeated 3 times. On the third time, "bill" is misspelled with "blil". The next tab shows how Dhall uses a variable definition to prevent this type of error.
Why do you need BTC to do any of that?
Trailing comma is ugly as sin - I love the little "house" my leading commas put my record into :)
So much for "state's rights".
Agreed. “The government does it, why can’t we?” is just being deliberately naive. In the hands of the U.S. government it’s monetary policy - in mine it’s literally a scam.

There’s a fascinating lesson and wake-call in monetary theory and philosophy somewhere here for us, but I’m not sure anybody wants to learn it.
The question was

> How do you search for *non-unicode* characters in a pdf document
It would be pretty cool to do some quantitative analysis of how remote friendly these company's stacks actually are, ie. are they "remote friendly" or actually friendly to remote employees...
Dhall is my favorite configuration language that I never get around to using.

I manage DNS in Terraform, and since every Terraform provider uses different objects definitions, and every object definition is rather verbose, Dhall would be a way to specify my own DRY types and leave the provider-specific details in one place. Adding new DNS entries and moving several domains between providers would be a matter of changing fewer lines.

Dhall also has Kubernetes bindings:

https://github.com/dhall-lang/dhall-kubernetes

Although I'm tempted to just stick to Helm here: even though it's less type-safe, Dhall's verbosity makes me reconsider.

I'd like to hear if anyone has used dhall-kubernetes if they like it.
Meh, I think you're pointing out why doing this with a variable is better. In other words that mistake is the entire point of the example. Perhaps the definitions tab could make it more clear what the mistake was.
I feel this is the superior way to format something like that. Trailing commas are nothing but an ugly hack.
It had me confused too. I figured I was looking for a syntax error in the config format since it’s an introduction…to the config format.
Well, now you've made me look like an idiot with the original post.

What 'computational resources' are needed here, a 2nd-gen GPU? I think this kind of object removal would be awesome if it were implemented as a Gimp plugin, and even if you needed to wait for a few seconds for the changes to apply. Gimp allows scripting in Python, which seems to be what most DL projects are using these days:

https://gimp.org/
https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-scripting.html

I am just skeptical of any website/backend-locked software that asks for my data these days -- for which we have Big Tech to thank for -- and this is not the first website-only project shared on HN.

That's a pretty thin and legalistic (as opposed to pragmatic / de facto) distinction.
How about not making the very first thing on the page a confusing puzzle?
I’m a web developer, but I mostly work on foundational/common middlewares and libraries, and research distributed system patterns for API developers to use.

I have a CLI app that I make that calculates microtonal pitch lattices. In a lot of languages, it ends up being a few hundred lines. I’ve done it in Rust, Clojure, CL, Scheme, Python, C#…

As far as frameworks go, I’ll reach for one if I feel like I need one. With web frameworks, I’ll do a GET and POST route to get a feel for the mechanics.

After several years of going in deep on the JS hamster wheel, I’m kinda done with it. I’ll jump into a SPA framework if I need one.
Gary V: “Make the termination letters NFTs and people will want to buy and sell them.”
I'm not sure I understand. Most European languages go through cycles where letters are added when languages are mixed together followed by periods of redundant letters disappearing. Old English had something like 39 letters. 'th' used to have its own letter: thorn.

I think character proliferation in CJK languages are a result of each word having its own character. The proliferation isn't fundamentally a proliferation of characters, it's a proliferation of words, which happens all the time in all languages. But only in certain languages does this proliferation of words result in additional characters being added to the language.
As someone who has had to clean up (with backwards compatibility) after people who YOLO'd custom grammars rather than actually taking the time to respect the mathematics of parsing and design ambiguity out up front...

I cannot disagree with you more.
Nobody said otherwise. Doesn’t make make it anymore attractive though.

PayPal's current market cap is ~$80B. Is Stripe actually worth only $6B less than PayPal?

I disagree regarding ugly, but it’s rooted in Haskell syntax fwiw.
* Tax them heavily until we've solved climate change (and if we don't solve climate change, flying cars will be the least of our worries).

* I'm guessing the GP meant "currently incurable diseases", so pointing out the supposed contradiction isn't very helpful.

* You're right that strong regulation would be needed to prevent the captured data from being auto-uploaded to the cloud, and even that might not be enough if it means all our embarrassing semi-public moments are sitting on the hard drives of strangers, ready to be used as blackmail material or sold for viral views to some social media algorithm.

* Tax them heavily except for people who are permanently lonely (and require them to have therapy too).

* Do you also think that countries shouldn't have a minimum wage? I assure you that a world with 50% unemployment and no UBI will be much worse than one with 10% inflation.
By this logic banks putting garbage mortgages in their CDOs and having them AAA rated wasn’t scamming either.

It’s just that they also got scammed when the market crashed!

Oh, wait, they got bailed out.
Topologically the hollow torus is more interesting, the solid one is effectively a slightly thicker circle.

Yeah, the news profiles have been pretty depressing recently. We're mainly focusing on helping people pick the profiles they want to play moving forward.
My work is 90% business and 10% code. I do not see how we can have AI writing useful code on its own without also understanding lots of context about human society.

When I code something out, I have to first know which problem to solve, and why it’s a problem. I then have to understand the problem in minute detail. This usually involves a slew of human factors, desires, and interfacing with idiosyncratic systems that evolved a certain way because of human factors and desires.
I start with a command-line parser which asks for a file and prints out information about the file (if it exists).

Then I move on to more complex parsing of text in the file.

I try to get this building cleanly and working on Windows, Mac and Linux.
Do banks not presently trust each other?

edit: Suggesting that the interbank system move to crypto on a thread about a massive failed crypto project is a huge failure on reading the room. It's like trying to convince people to buy Titanic II tickets at the funeral for the Titanic I victims or trying to sell a Model 38 to Jacqueline Kennedy on November 23, 1963.
I think COL and housing costs show why rental markets are not good in the long run. The world will increasingly belong to a handful of speculators who can rule the poor into indentured servitude by owning necessities of life.

Remember that Stripe changed its RSU grant structure a year or so ago, so this won’t negatively affect newer employees. Stripe gives out a fixed amount of $$ value of stock each year now. The typical recent senior hire will get around $200k a year in stock. Now that the valuation is lower, they’ll be granted more stock units than before, which is good. Getting granted fewer stock units at a ‘fake’ higher valuation would have been frustrating.

Coming from mostly C and Java (where I didn't have inference) and Python (dynamic types, no real annotation when I was writing it) I found Rust's degree of inference (Constants, function signatures, structures must spell their types, but other types can be inferred if unambiguous) very satisfying, and I don't fancy going back.

Never written any OCaml in anger, and it has been decades since I wrote more ML of any sort, so perhaps in OCaml I'd find there's too much inference for my taste.
the government backs its currency by having _different rights_ than private companies. E.g. the ability to levy taxes and field an army. We the citizens have given them those rights specifically so that they are the highest authority.

This is why a currency that derives from them is better than a currency that derives from anonymous scammers on the internet.
The text of the comunity post is:

'YouTube has decided our Arc A380 review is "18+ only" and "not suitable for ads." This hurts views and revenue. Please share the video around manually since YouTube is restricting who sees it! https://youtu.be/La-dcK4h4ZU There's not much that's more discouraging in this space than working almost 24 hours straight on a review, producing very high quality testing and video, and then getting told "you don't deserve to make money on this because reasons we won't explain instituted by people we won't put you in contact with." Despite having 1.6M+ subs, we no longer have a creator contact at YouTube because it's a revolving door position with a new employee every few months. Hoping this makes it back to them somehow and they fix the ad qualifications of the Arc review.'
They weren’t “legal tender”
I think your comment got a little mixed up - fairly sure Internet is 互联网 (因特网 seems to be a much less common term, a hybrid of phonetic "Inter" and semantic "net")
Something that I, or someone else, can and will use. Toy projects bore me, I like having something that actually solves real problems be the result of the time and effort I put into learning a thing.

Every once in a while, I'll think "it would be nice if I could do X" and that's perfect project material that will keep me motivated.
Thanks! I spent, I think, an embarrassingly long time on design. But I can at least say that though it is not perfect, it is internally coherent.
This video rooms feature as well as the group call feature in Element are actually using jitsi I'm the background. Element also supports threads too.
An alternate phrasing for this topic (and one I've employed a few times) is "what are the big problems?"

This avoids presupposing a conclusion (the future is bright/dark), and focuses on specific issues, mechanisms, or dynamics.

If you're inclined to answer that you're not pessimistic, or that the future is bright, "what are the big problems?" still focuses discussion on challenges and either what makes them challenging or how they might be addressed.

There's also the hierarchy of failure (or inverting senses: requisite success chain) in problem resolution:

The imaginary value went down, unless they are actually offering liquidity for employees who have exercised.
Just judging what's been written. You might be a brilliant person, and a good one on top of it.

All I'm saying is what's been written doesn't read well. Most people won't research others, they'll just see what's written (or said) and if that is a turn off, they'll shut down. If you have good ideas it's worth taking a little effort to understand the machines and systems you are dealing with (humans and organizations) so you can get those ideas broadly understood/accepted.
Well I'd be happy to take some of those off your hands ;)

> I don't have anywhere nice to display them

That seems like a good goal, then: find somewhere nice to display them.

My grandpa got into an O-scale train collecting kick in his retirement, and inadvertently stumbled upon someone in a very similar predicament to you, except with trains and train paraphernalia instead of computers. This guy had (and still has!) multiple model train layouts in multiple scales, countless other toy trains from throughout the last century or so, a bunch of actual railroad equipment and signals and such, random collectibles from when he worked for Western Pacific, you name it. Well, he needed money so he started selling some of his stuff, but he and my grandpa got to talking and realized that it was a sufficiently-large collection of museum-quality pieces to, well, start a museum.

Said man happens to live in the same town as my uncle (my grandpa's brother), and said town (technically a "city", but it's your stereotypical American small town) had a museum in an old church that was (IIRC) at this point condemned as structurally unsound. The "city", meanwhile, also needed a new town hall, and the local senior center wanted to move its thrift store to a new location.

This train collector's newfound desire to "loan" a large chunk of his collection to the museum was the last push needed for the city council to go ahead and bite the bullet on a new "city center": they bought the town's old middle school, and my grandparents, my uncle, the train collector, the museum curator, myself, and a couple other locals all pitched in to clean out and renovate the building, and we ended up with a pretty nice (by middle-of-nowhere standards) "City Center", a solid quarter of which consists almost entirely of just this train collector's stuff (including an O-scale approximate portrayal of the town). Place is still proudly up and running (I still maintain the website and head out every couple months to run "sudo zypper ref && sudo zypper dup" on the museum's desktop), and it's still expanding, with a G-scale outdoor layout under construction.

I guess that story's a roundabout suggestion that you should start a museum (or find an existing one) in your own town. That way, a lot more people than just yourself will get to enjoy what you've collected, and there will be ample local motivation to keep your collection both intact and in working order even when you're no longer either of those things ;)
My read on that comment was more along the lines of everything must also be available to run in the browser now because users demand it.
The performance of apps run in the browser has improved so much lately that users' habits and expectations have shifted.
Also can't avoid to see the bug in the reasoning:

> Let’s just assume all this (code quality, security, legal & privacy issues, pricing, and others of similar character) is sorted out and see what happens next.

What could go wrong next in the systems where they employ this AI with this mindset?
> The standard bearer for contracts used to be Eiffel, which people stopped caring about in the mid-90’s. Nowadays the only mainstream language to get serious about contracts is Clojure. Most languages have a contracts library, which mean the language doesn’t have affordances to use contracts well. Take the predicate is_sorted(l)

Some languages though have contracts as a library, but that library uses tools of the language, to actually change the language. Languages with capable macro systems! Just because something is a library, that does not mean, that it will not integrate into the language, even beyond a library function level. In language with a capable macro system, one can create new keywords and forms, which are just as much part of the language, as predefined things. It allows to create ones "affordances". With all the interest in language features, I am surprised, that this was overlooked.

The post inspired me to try myself at creating a macro in Scheme / GNU Guile, which implements the "requires" and "ensures" idea, although evaluating at runtime: https://notabug.org/ZelphirKaltstahl/guile-examples/src/d749...
For SOTs the NFA fee is just $5!
Stripe does not require having a business.

In the west, opening a business bank account does indeed take a few minutes. There’s more than enough that allow opening one online.

It isn’t needed for Stripe or many payment providers, so it’s a moot point. Same with many payment providers not requiring a business.
