Does anyone love noise? When I was younger I didn't mind it so much. As I've grown older I value peacefulness and quiet more. My wealth has grown over time but I wouldn't say I'm rich but I absolutely consider noise levels on where I chose to spend money because with more money I have more choices than I did before.
that’s what happens when you hire people not based on their talent but on nepotism

People will look back at 2020 Blockchain and either say (a) crap, how did we ever get taken in by that, or (b) boy, howdy, do you remember how foolish those people were that thought this stuff was anything but a scam?

There is nothing that can be done on blockchain that cannot be done cheaper, faster, easier, and more securely without blockchain. Blockchain has negative value, and no matter where you measure the start of the Internet from, it had more positive externalities fourteen years on than anything blockchain will ever have, not least because so-called "blockchain" has an insurmountable set of negative externalities that would need to be overcome if a single real-world productive use could be found for it.
at this point I wouldn't be surprised if some of them are cooperating with the feds
BPS.Space landed a model rocket after 7 years
This sounds like a really fun project!

Yeah, I'm fairly excited about getting into it.

rasp pi cluster could add more computing power for cheaper.

Well, I don't have room in the physical case for more Pi's as it stands, and TBH, I'm not terribly interested in running a cluster at home. It might mean spending some money, but I'd rather just do it all in the cloud. One advantage to that is I can easily scale things up and down dynamically, and I can use a mix of CPU and GPU (or even FPGA) instances without having to go out and buy a lot of expensive hardware.

Not to say that I would never bring part of it "on prem" and run out of my home, but right now the cloud approach feels more manageable.
Just open it it a private window with your browser.
Agreed. Darwin had to rush publishing the theory of natural selection before Russell did it.
Well put. That focus on “productivity” also has something of what Nietzsche called the “slave mentality”. That belief that you’re worth only what you produce, like a cow. I actually subscribe to this reductionist belief myself in many ways - but it’s an easy target to feel smug about when reflected back by somebody else out there preaching it as gospel.

I like the app but why can’t I copy text from my notebook? Not even the system-wide gesture from iOS (three finger tap) works.
Are you sure they will?

They seem to prefer dividend payouts rather than capex on new fabs[1]. Combined with them moving to FCF loss - I think that what you described here may be imaginary at best.

Given what they said in the last earnings call, a slow IBM-like death seems more likely.

> He is a platitude robot saying nothing more than 'Crypto will lead to economic freedom' and 'now is the time to build'. Before the crypto crash it seems like the only motivator was money

Yes, that's what it's always been about with coinbase. That's why they sold their equity on a traditional finance platform for USD $ and why Brian bought a $130m mansion. 10 years later what has crypto accomplished besides grifting people out of their savings through 3% commissions and scams? Do you know how useful Google, or like any other company, was after 10 years?
With finFETs the transistors are not physically getting smaller anymore. Instead, by making taller and taller finFETs, you can squeeze the transistors closer without actually having smaller transistors. By some definitions, you can say Moore’s Law is already over, or at least no long operates via the traditional methods.
It stores these compression dictionaries in the database:

> If dictionary is an int i, it is functionally equivalent to zstd_decompress(data, (select dict from _zstd_dict where id = i)).

Compact saves you 8 bytes per compressed column by removing some metadata zstd uses :

> if compact is true, the output will be without magic header, without checksums, and without dictids. This will save 4 bytes when not using dictionaries and 8 bytes when using dictionaries. this also means the data will not be decodeable as a normal zstd archive with the standard tools. The same compact argument must also be passed to the decompress function.

You will need to update the dicts occasionally, but there's a helper function to do this for you, read the docs about zstd_incremental_maintenance.

They provide liquidity, but further slow the market if they turn it into a rental with ROI targets.
The article did much more than accuse them of illiberalism. It isn't clear which claim lead to the article being banned...or even that it was banned (I assume it was, but I can't find a copy of the source, and the source is a wired article ostensibly about Negroponte). I actually probably have the Mar 1995 Wired at my parents house on my book shelf, but unfortunately that is 3000 miles away.
There are 3 options.

* Fit in

* F-off

* Fight

The primary benefit of F-off is that if you play the game correctly you can be well compensated for doing so and maybe even get hired back to fix the mess 18 months later.

Show HN: Emery – Personal productivity workspace
We're building an app that helps people manage their schedule, tasks and notes all in one place.

The goal is to create a workspace, where people can manage their various priorities, both personal and professional, see a single schedule combined of all their calendars and manage their days without switching between multiple apps.

At the moment we've implemented Google calendar synchronisation, basic tasks and notes. Also Emery has some things we really wanted to see in other apps – private notes for meetings, categories that can be used to group tasks/notes/meetings together, weekly productivity reports.

Happy to hear any feedback and answer any questions!
Imagine you buy a car and you don't sign ownership papers. I steal the key of your car and I lock the car. Now I can demand "Prove me that the car is your by unlocking the car". How will you prove it? Certainly not by unlocking the car but by providing some circumstantial evidence in the absence of direct evidence.

"Proposed in 2016 by Germany's then-foreign minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the plan details free and fair elections in the east under Ukrainian law, verification by the OSCE international security organisation, and then self-governing status in return."

'Ukraine has every right join NATO ...'

Maybe. Just as Cuba had every right to host USSR nuclear missiles in 1962?

'Why the hell would Ukraine join NATO? I thought Russia was their brother?'

Yes, eastern Ukraine aligns with R. Western Ukraine hates R. The movie 'Mr. Jones' may enlighten you about the starvation, and the NYT propaganda at the time.
Singapore's repression isn't exactly a secret, and if freedom is not a purpose to use your wealth for, then I don't see the point of wealth.

Counterculture is healthy and natural for many reasons, and its absence is a concerning indicator for any nation.
Why would I buy a truck that still required me to go through someone else to move large loads? Why would I buy vegan beans that required animal harm to be produced? Why would I buy an electric car that ruined the environment? That's not signaling by consumption, that is things serving their intended purpose. It's no more political than advertising toilet bowl cleaner with clean toilets. People consume what they value for the reason they value it. That what people financially value correlates with what people culturally value is hardly surprising. I'm not watching millennial targeted netflix shows alone in my living room to demonstrate to my furniture how much of a millennial I am. The fact we all consume things that others would consider weird or otherwise socially disapprove of only makes sense in a world where we are trying to satisfy internal desires despite the potential social signals they might send.
> along the M4 corridor, which is a major tech hub

Over-stating it a bit isn't it? There's some pretty sad regional sales and consultancy offices of US tech companies, yeah. I wonder what they do that requires major data centres?
That issue was my first intro to Wired when I spotted it on a coffee table and was intrigued by the Disneyland line. It was probably another year after that before I actually used the internet - after reading a few Wired magazines, I wasn't really sure what to expect...
Why not just build one in? I guess I'm accustomed to assault rifles having flash suppressors because the one that I've actually handled and lugged around and shot with, the Valmet RK 62, does have a suppressor built in, a distinctive feature [1].

Off-grid power has no choice but batteries. Utilities have others.
I run an ecommerce dog treat company, and I typically send out about one email a week. I try to keep those to 50% or less emails that offer discounts, and I try to make the discounts product-specific, so people don't just get used to getting a 20% off coupon twice a month.

For the non-discount emails, I'll just send something about the company or the products. If I was on a morning show talking about the company, I'll send out the video. If I don't have anything else out, I just remind people of the fact that it's very hot, and we sell frozen dog treat mix.

Each email goes out to about 3500 people and generates 3-15 sales. Discount emails do better than non-discount, but some non-discount (like good press coverage) do very well. New product launches and sales for major holidays when people are looking to shop (e.g. Memorial Day, BFCM) do over 15 sales.

I've tested doing it less often, and ultimately doing one email a week barely affects unsubscribes and easily generates enough extra revenue to be worth it.
I was going to say the same thing. Seems like a lot of art focused vector programs aren't as rigorous with their polygons as a CAD program. But, I suppose it is just a matter of the level of detail the end use demands.
These people need to be publicly named and shamed, enough to show up as a huge black eye in their Google/due diligence results.

I have suffered under a few such C-levels and their incompetence is maddening. It is hard not to see the C-level social network as one big circle-jerk, and they get to walk away scot free. These folks are only worthy of spending the rest of their life as a clerk at a gas station, not (mis)managing million/billion dollar companies.
month. Generally salaries and such payments in Germany are per month.
Density is key. The US is HUGE. It's the same reason why standing up cell towers doesn't work well in the US vs other countries.

I don't know why cities don't have better public transportation. Maybe because voters don't hold their local officials accountable when they mismanage public funds (California's $80b train fiasco)

I do know cars are needed in rural areas for many reasons and aren't posing any sort of a problem.

Fix the cities. Transit, traffic, and parking is a mess, but it has nothing to do with cars, they are a symptom, it has more to do with population and public spending.
Ah, I see. I don't see why you need tons of libraries, or any libraries at all, for that though. (And you don't even need to render any intermediary HTML if you use the DOM API.)

When did Singapore claim they don't censor media? There is an entire agency (IMDA) devoted to censoring media, and it isn't some kind of covert operation.
At least in my experience, no.

We used managed services for our stateful stuff which significantly eased the operational burden there. Might be a different story if we looked at doing the absolute minimum cost optimization. However, at least for us, the extra cost of managed services is worth the price.

The yaml tends to be a "one and done" sort of thing. We touch it MAYBE once every 2 months if that.

Tons of VFX and game content "shortcut" strategies like this require lots of cleanup however - even very good 3D photogrammetry scans are probably going to need to be manipulated (even if they look visually great) from an artistic point of view. The whole point is shortcutting and cutting time off the artists table. Lidar does not really give you anything that you can directly use out of the box but it does give you a huge leg up with perspective, sizing, etc etc.

Certainly not a silver bullet but it seems like it could be a huge time saver in certain scenarious

3+ years full stack Canadian developer looking for interesting challenges, preferably at fast-moving startups in the Bay Area. I can iterate rapidly on implementations to nail the best user experience. I used to develop retro games played by hundreds on my spare time, design sprites, and build maps —graphic design experience which gives me an edge at implementing pixel-perfect designs.

I used to worked on software powering taxes at the Canadian government in COBOL before deciding to focus on web and front-end. Before that, I worked at Nokia setting up network infrastructure. I recently worked at seed-stage startup Loot in San Jose and I have also been taking some time to travel and study during the pandemic.
Rust only really has one loop, it's named loop and it's an infinite loop (you break to leave it).

So just as Rust's "for" is syntactic sugar, so is "while", it will de-sugar into loop with an exit condition break at the start, since that's how while works in Rust.

But this sort of illustrates how limited your model is, you're assuming the way loops worked in some language you've more experience with, probably C, is just "how loops work" but it's a weird feature of one language invented decades before the present, but decades after the fundamentals. It's like fixating on how the brakes worked on the 1971 Ford Cortina. That's not "how car brakes work" it's just how the brakes worked on that particular model of car, a brand new BMW i4 and a Model T are both equally reasonable examples of "how car brakes work".

Most of my team's remaining deployment issue come from dealing with different versions of Linux distributions. Do rolling release distributions make more sense / work better now than in the past?
You’re intentionally paraphrasing the Exit/Voice/Loyalty model right
I’m curious, do you use Vault, Datadog, or some Falco maybe? What is the rest of your Infra stack?
Yeah, this 100% triggered me. If I’m not careful, I’ll spend the rest of my morning feeling really angry. Again.
