> Instead you potentially punish the citizen for having committed a crime on foreign soil, and/or arrest the dealer should they come to your country. This is something nearly every nation state already does. Another thing to look at is extradition treaties.

But they didn't commit a crime on foreign soil... they did something legal there.

The servers, manufacture and the information is created and stored in russia, and we're just "travelling" (with our IP packets) to russia to read that content there (I'm assuming the servers are located there).

I still remember when freedom of speech was a right people fought for, even if they didn't like what "the other person" said.... sadly, this is changing and bringing with it dark times.
The problem in many cases is that it's hard to prove who actually owns the blocks. Who do you fine when you don't know who put them there? They're so cheap to setup that they can easily be replaced if they're removed.

That is a good point. That said there are many "non-tech" meetings you have to endure at organizations. However I concede that the amount of time for those is much less than the time spent on the marketing side of a business.
Uhm, no. If you use quantum events, like radioactive decay, or the usual quantum particle experiments, or (supposedly) an app like Universe Splitter [0], you are guaranteed that the two different possible outcomes will both occur, according to quantum mechanics (if you believe in many-worlds, which is out premise). And then you can build up a binary number of arbitrary size from a sequence of such experiments. When you perform the experiment N times, there will be branches for all N-bit numbers. Or just use a QRNG service like [1] which does it for you.

"External identity" was a hasty definition on my part. It means that I do not identify with the way others identify me.

I was a professional sportsman for years, and that was the way many people saw me. When I stopped, I no longer played that sport, without torment or suffering: when I decided to move on, I didn't need others to move with me. If I had to wait for others, I would have had a "crisis of identityt".
When I stopped being an academic researcher, I moved on quickly. In a week, I saw myself as a software engineer; if other people with whom I had a personal or professional relationship continued to see me as a scientist (and a "failed" scientist at that point), that didn't affect me.

I don't have a Zen attitude or life. I feel as joyful, angry or bored, depending on my internal state, as anyone else. But I've never, as far as I can remember, had an identity crisis that wouldn't allow me to pursue other paths without being particularly concerned about how others identify me. And I see it is as a strength. I had been concerned with "identity", each move would have been ten times more painful than it was.

It's not that I don't care how others see me -- I dress very fancy for a reason.
It's that it is my life.

If you do what do you do because you think that it will be better for you in the end, you don't have identity problems, you followed a rational path.

Some of the most interesting benchmarks here:

Dhrystone 2: 253.2 on the Mango Pi MQ Pro, 202 on the Raspberry Pi Zero. I don't know what this number is; presumably it's not Dhrystone MIPS (VAX MIPS), because that should be closer to 1000 for both chips, and it can't possibly be Dhrystones per second, because a VAX MIPS is 1757 Dhrystones per second, so they ought to be about 1.8 million Dhrystones per second. Reading https://github.com/kdlucas/byte-unixbench/blob/master/UnixBe... leaves me no wiser.

File Copy 1024: 124.4 on the MQ Pro, 86 on the Raspberry Pi Zero. The UnixBench README says this is measured in the number of characters that can be written, read, and copied in 10 seconds; if this were correct it would mean the MQ Pro were copying 12.4 bytes per second and the Raspberry Pi Zero W was copying 8.6 bytes per second. It seems inescapable that Bret's results are incorrect by several orders of magnitude here.

C copy backwards: 1197.4 MB/s (not MiB/s as I previously read incorrectly) on the MQ Pro, 157.2 on the Zero W. Something went wrong here.

Standard memcpy: 1200.9 MB/s on the MQ Pro, 424.8 on the Zero W.

Standard memset: 2650.6 MB/s on the MQ Pro, 1699.9 on the Zero W. This seems surprisingly slow; you'd think an 8x-unrolled loop of SD instructions on a 1GHz RISC-V would memset about 5 gigabytes per second, if it got one instruction per clock, which it normally ought to. The XuanTie C906 core in the AllWinner D1 C906 is 64-bit, which is potentially an advantage for this; the analogous code for ARM6 can only write 32 bits per instruction. (The ARM has an STM instruction that stores multiple registers, but it doesn't actually run faster.) I'm not sure what happened to the extra factor of 2 in performance. Similar remarks apply to the memcpy results above.

Amazon Basics 64GB MicroSD card: MQ Pro reads sequentially at 11.48 MB/s, writes sequentially at 10.77 MB/s; Zero W reads sequentially at 21.36 MB/s, writes sequentially at 19.6 MB/s. (I'm ignoring the random reads and writes because he doesn't specify the read and write size, yet he gives the results in MB/s instead of IOPS.) Note that these are six orders of magnitude faster than the 12.4 and 8.6 bytes per second given earlier.

Unfortunately Weber doesn't link to the benchmark code or document his compilation and execution environment. Presumably the memset and memcpy results are largely measuring the performance of the libc functions, for example, so reproducing them would require knowing if he's using glibc, musl, or a C library he wrote himself.

Mostly I feel like these benchmarking results are not well enough specified to be useful, which is a shame. I'd like to be able to use this kind of benchmark to predict the performance of a system within a factor of 5 or so, but these results are too irreproducible for that.
Note that I said "Docker container". And that's an oversimplification, but from the article:

> Docker containers have been deliberately designed to contain just one application. One container - one Nginx; one container - one Python web server; one container - one daemon. The lifecycle of a container would be bound to the lifecycle of that application. And running an init process like systemd as a top-level entrypoint was specifically discouraged.

My guess is that the goal of this is to leave "lifecycle" issues at the container boundary. If you put nginx and your golang webapp in the same container, and one of them crashes, Docker / kubernetes you have to have logic inside the container to detect that and restart the correct one. If the goal is to have Docker / Kubernetes is to take care of all that for you, making it one thing per container is the best option.
In principle I agree, and will admit that for a second I marvelled at the wisdom of your forefathers.

Are they using ex-inmates to harass unions and infiltrating students on unions? Nope. They are just hiring ex-inmates and students more which is a positive thing regardless of the motive. Being employed makes students and ex-inmates less vulnerable. Just skip the article.
There is a paragraph on this in the publicly accessible pre-print [1] of the article.

"Approved by the respective ethics boards of MIT and Maynooth University, the experiment amounted to a friendly stress-test of the potential vulnerability of judicial legal reasoning to the limitations of reliance on Wikipedia, notably, its ad hoc topic coverage and unknown author/editorship. The experiment featured Wikipedia entries authored by faculty and by law students under faculty supervision, who each had access, through their university library, to all the relevant primary and secondary legal materials available to judges and their clerks. This assurance of accuracy and of informed analysis in the content of the entries—though short of that offered by a specialist textbook—indicates that judges or lawyers would be unlikely to be misled by what they might read. However, as the authorship of Wikipedia articles is opaque, this fact would not be known to any legal professional when using them. From the users’ perspective, there was no particular reason to imagine that the creators of the relevant entry had any legal expertise—or even that they lacked an ulterior agenda."

I'm curious where I missed the part about the algorithm did the editing? I don't see any matches for "algo" when I control + f the article. "Algo" doesn't appear in the article either. The excerpted paragraph says who wrote the entries and it wasn't an algorithm.

Obviously there's a lot of potential options to solving the problem at large, not so much on a small scale. honestly, having been a resident of Seattle, I understand where the people are coming from placing the concrete blocks.

I don't think it's the right solution, but given what control residents actually have, it's understandable.

Instead of snarking about a false dichotomy, can you provide any productive suggestions for residents (i.e., not city policy makers) to improve the situation?
My thoughts were along similar lines in terms of "if this group, then why not them, and them, and them, and them, and them" where pretty much every single "them" I can think of is a much greater blight on society than climate protesters.

I'm a supporter of Australia's gun laws, but not a supporter of this kind of over-the-top restrictions for, what I consider to be (and that's the rub), the trivial / minor offense of protesting.

The protection of "the economy" is paranoia-level, which doesn't bode well. Corruption is a transaction that encourages more transactions, whilst protest is only ever a restriction, therefore if the economy is the priority then protest is a worse crime than corruption.

No wonder there are climate protesters...
Checkly is also in the same space and has been in the market for 5+ years. So, it's definitely feature rich compared to DevRaven.

Going back to the start of the thread where you said you didn't understand this:

You can see you've just said yourself what you were saying you didn't understand - with data structures in C you're responsible for manually managing things that the data structure would via things like generics in most other languages, with you having to instead hard-code them at the use-site to turn the data into something that can be pointed to and managing the lifetime.

How do lightweight MicroVMs which have the speed of containers but the isolation of a real vm, as implemented in FIrecracker etc, change the landscape? Or do they?

Solar panels and batteries require the damaging mining of all sorts of rare and/or nasty materials. This kills a lot of people, although predominantly in other countries nowadays. It's an argument that could be applied to nearly any mineral resource, and is more of an indictment of unsafe mining practices and capitalist exploitation. If we allowed practical research on breeder reactors, the need for uranium mining would nearly vanish.
That's not pollution - that is waste.

Show HN: A handy color picker for programmers and web designers
This is a handy dandy color picker utility program, written as a web app. It is designed for laptop/desktop use, doesn't fit on a mobile device.

You can select a starting color by either selecting from one of the named web colors, or one of the 700 Mark Ferrari superstar pixel artist color swatches, then you can explore nearby colors which are arranged in a novel hexagonal grid that lets you explore in 12 different directions at once.

When you select a color, it copies the color name to the clipboard so you can paste it into what you are working on. There are multiple output formats you can choose from, like web hex #AABBCC, or rgb(1,2,3) for example.

Free. The 1400 lines of code is posted on GitHub, if you are curious as to how it was made. There are some clever tricks in the code regarding how to sort colors properly.

> You need to know the encoding of any text, otherwise it’s impossible to decipher the message (although it’s common for applications to assume the encoding).

Even with the caveat in parentheses, this is quite misleading. For example, the following line is some text, with no specified encoding:

> hello world

now, while its true this could be some exotic encoding, or maybe just random binary data, I wouldn't call it impossible to decipher. More accurate, would be "impossible to decipher with 100% certainty". Same issue exists with Protocol Buffers, or any format that is not self-describing. The data is not a black box, its just annoying to deal with.

> and we have other options that we didn't have 20 years ago.

We do, but those options are not enough. If they were, the Democrats in Washington would not have turned pro-nuclear.

They saw the numbers. You can store electricity from day to night, but not from Summer to Winter. Months-long electricity storage will never make economic sense (or at least not in the next 30 years).

Nuclear reactor construction is currently a decades-long affair. Can we make it shorter?

Here's a little historical tidbit: in WW2, when the Liberty ships started being built, it took the first such ships about 250 days to be built. They took down that number to 150, then to 105, then to 71, then to 30 and then to 10. They even built one in less than 5 days, and that one did survive the war, and kept working until 1963.

The secret was to build large components separately, each on its own assembly line, and then to just snap them together as a giant Lego toy.

The fact that current nuclear reactors take 20 years to build is not a mathematical proof that any design will take as long. It is entirely possible for SMRs to be build in a matter of months, maybe, just like the Liberty ships, in a matter of days. If the politicians in Washington want to make that happen, then the engineers can make it happen.
> Also, I'm skeptical on the "increase costs" claim. The reason Java "worked" at the turn of the century was because corporations would gladly reduce developer time for the tradeoff of spending more on hardware if they needed performance.

That's sounds great until you have to pay the cloud bills roll in. At the turn of the century options were limited. Now they're not, and that's the world Java has to compete in today. Java is slowing giving up ground as a result. An idiomatic Golang program, for instance, uses far less memory to perform the same tasks as the equivalent Java.
There is a strong prejudice against the Fujianese. Cheating is an endemic problem throughout China due to extreme competitive pressure and lax oversight, but when someone from Fuijian is found to be cheating the explanation will of course be that they are Fujianese.

Who said it's a myth? Who are you arguing with?
The small nuclear reactor designs by NuScale are commercially viable and are going to be approved by the nuclear regulatory commission rather soon. Thorium isn’t as important as the small and modular aspects. Also Gen IV and breeder reactors are basically perfectly viable commercially if it was held to the same kind of scrutiny as most other power sources whether it’s coal or solar. But politically it’s not viable which is expressed by being so hard to finance with long time scales that investors simply don’t have the patience and nobody can raise the capital worthwhile to bother trying. It’s very much a chicken-egg dynamic impeding its viability similar to what popular renewables faced for different reasons for several decades.

Note that South Korea and France both have large operational nuclear power that is rather cheap to deploy because they basically copy-paste the same proven design and processes again and again. South Korea in particular has been under constant threat of attack by its neighbors for basically over a thousand years now yet went with nuclear decades ago. Comparatively, Switzerland didn’t choose nuclear for reasons I can’t quite remember even though they are fully capable technologically and in terms of process / bureaucracy able to manage the systems perfectly safely. Unsure about France’s reasoning but it’s difficult to compare power costs between France and neighboring Germany in good faith comparisons of energy policy either due to how different their electrical grid needs are.
