I’ve started riding a bike for transportation during the pandemic; I think the desire to get outdoors more turbocharged cycling during the pandemic, and now people are probably realizing it’s a good way to get around too. So maybe a combination of both.

In any case, I think that’s a good thing! The oil crisis of the 1970s was one of the contributing factors to the Netherlands getting their now-excellent bike infrastructure.
One thing I've noticed in all the debates around freedom of speech in the last decade is that literally nobody favors actual free speech. When freedom of speech touches some of the things you consider "sacred" or when it can make a noticeable dent in your wallet, people usually scream for restrictions.

It will be better to stop pretending that debates about free speech and hate speech are about principles and not just group signalling and power demonstrations. This will take the moral non-arguments (that are currently mostly advanced by those that call for direct government censorship, although historically that hasn't been the case) out of the equation.
With TypeScript, I can mostly control the algorithmic complexity of my code, but I have almost no control over the actual code produced, what core runs it, the arrangement and alignment of memory, and generally can’t know the state of the host system I’m programming because all that stuff is abstracted away to make it well suited to application development.

Some “higher level” languages can let you break through to those details, but it usually means losing the simplicity you find appealing.

In contrast, it’s actually very simple and natural to work with all those concepts in C, C++, Rust, etc

Different tools suit different tasks.
> Here's a thought experiment for you; why don't you just get rid of all the "archive" nodes?

By all means, do it. Blow them all away. You can still transact on the chain and send or recieve funds from any other valid address or call contract functions just fine. And then anyone who wants to do things like run a block explorer or look at how a particular account's balance has changed over time can resync to an archive node *using only the contents of a full node*. Archive nodes just retain additional account level indexing of what the block history (and all the transactions contained in those blocks) already contains.

> Only if you redefine "current state" to be "not actually the entire state of the blockchain".

'Current state'⋮ At the present time, what is the balance of any abritrary account? What is in the current storage of any arbitrary deployed contract? Full nodes have 100% of that, without querying anything from any other node.
Smart people (and specifically smart technical people) are always looking for problems with a view to solving them. That was the case with me, for example. People with lots of problems are generally less happy! I've approached this more recently, after unpleasant circumstances, by investigating meditation, Buddhism, fitness and relationship management and generally just having more "fun". Works for me.

But even inciting violence is not perfect: If you call for the ouster of a powerful person or an unpopular person, or we look at the anti-Wallstreet movement in the late aughts, there was 'hate speech' in lots of the megaphone speakers's words. Even calling for the death of a mass murderer, in some cases that can be a call to violence. Even inciting a protest can be a call to violence.

It's getting close to "I can say down with Reagan and I won't get arrested --Me too, I can yell down with Reagan in Red Square and will not get arrested" territory.

There was time we considered the "Go fuck yourself Mr. Cheney" guy during Katrina(?) symbolic of free speech...(unlike France till recently) but today "Let's go Brandon" in some circles is "hate speech".

For a long time I had an idea I thought was great - a lock free garbage collector that could be run on its own core to achieve zero latency. I've got 32 cores busy doing nothing and thought I could throw hardware at the problem and get garbage collection for free.

A bunch of people much smarter than me all chimed in on how this was a terrible idea. They argued it would destroy the cache and result in worse performance than a traditional garbage collector. Locality matters, apparently. I still sometimes think of this idea but it doesn't fit very well into the actual hardware.

Sadly, that's the most important part!

Basically, instead of imagining a field where the arrows go out in all directions, with gluons they mostly go straight toward the other gluon as you pull them apart.
For what it's worth, I'm confused about the self-hosting option too.

On the home page it has the phrase "Self-hostable AWS Lambda" which when clicked takes me to a page entitled "Benchmark" [0]. As someone who doesn't use AWS, and the linked page seemingly not giving me much clear indication of being able to host this outside of AWS, I'm left confused about options for self-hosting.

Often with these sorts of products, I won't necessarily self-host initially, but will almost always want to ensure up-front that the option is there if I want to in the future.

It's perhaps slightly counterintuitive that being clear about self-hosting being available is a big tick for me onboarding as a SaaS customer!

Meant as constructive feedback as Windmill looks very cool!

[0] https://docs.windmill.dev/docs/benchmark/

Edit: Ok I see I misunderstood... that page is showing how Windmill benchmarks against AWS Lambda. I had assumed that clicking on the prominent blue link that mentioned "self hosting" would tell me about self-hosting :-)
https://trezor.io/ but if you are not able to research this on your own and rely on some random comments (and you don't already know this while already holding crypto), I'm not sure withdrawing is +EV.

I don't mean to offend you, just a sincere advice. You can lose your coins when they are on Coinbase and you can do it when you want them most, but you can lose them on your own too. Maybe at least split them.

Americans as a whole are right of center on economic issues compared to Europe. But the current tension in America revolves around cultural issues. On that, the Democratic Party is significantly left of center, to the point where they reject political debate on a number of cultural issues where Europeans debate and are willing to compromise.

For example in 2016, the European Court of Human Rights rejected the claim that the “right to marriage” under the EU Convention on Human Rights encompasses same-sex marriage: https://eclj.org/marriage/the-echr-unanimously-confirms-the-.... In Germany, same sex marriage became legal by legislative vote, with Angela Merkel voting against it (putting her to the right of Donald Trump on the issue). There was no political crisis around these votes. While many in Europe support same-sex marriage, most see it as a political issue, not something beyond the reach of the political process.

Contrast the US, where progressives are talking about “packing” the Supreme Court over its rejecting the notion that the Constitution contains a right to abortion so expansive that it would render invalid nearly every abortion law in Europe. That decision made international news, with countries like France criticizing the Supreme Court, even though their own abortion laws were illegal under Roe, and the case in question, Dobbs, upheld a Mississippi law that was basically the same as the law in France.
Great site, but in my experience, the challenge with this kind of thing is designing a (preferably automated) process to keep the data up to date without more work than keeping it running is worth to you. I’d be curious to know if the original author has found ways to automate this, or if he’s somehow maintained a high level of motivation (or if it’s been abandoned).
Last I checked, Florida has about 6% of the total US population, but more than 75% of property insurance litigation. The situation is insane.
I think all successful companies' products have already been built - and have been built for quite a while, most of the work that gets done is just polishing, window dressing, adventures and reorganizing things for the sake of it.

Most of the software and libraries I use nowadays have existed a decade ago, and truth be told, weren't that much different.
I am not sure how would that prevent them having access to the key and subsequently the data? Is there any platform which implements what you are suggesting and prevents the platform access to the data on a web application?

Genuinely asking as I would love to implement something for my customers which gives them control over their data while it resides on my servers.
They are. Roughly, a warrant is issued to a law enforcement agent and grants them powers not normally granted (arrest, search, etc). A subpoena is issued to a 3rd party to produce evidence or appear in court.

In this case, the warrant appears to have been issued to an officer in the Norfolk PD, who then asked FB for any messages between the two suspects.

What's not clear to me (IANAL) is what power FB had to refuse to comply with the warrant. If they refused to comply, would the police start seizing servers? Or, would FB be held in contempt (usually applies to subpoenas, not sure if that would apply with a warrant).

All that said, the "easy" answer for FB (Apple, Google, etc) is E2E encryption of messages. Then all they can do it produce the encrypted "gibberish" and the PD has to hack it or move on.
This was so useful to me. I feel like I have a pretty solid idea of how journal mode actually works now.

Practicing that often gives me the feeling that I just need any opinion about one of the many choices. Only after that I can commit to eg. buying something but I still know that I most likely only scratched the surface. I can't just try things out, I need to conclude first that I won't be able to pick the best option. Or just trust the one random person on reddit that was satisfied with his or her choice like it's your best friend.
In kitchen stuff, licensing out brand names is really bad with kitchen aid. Their mixers are a known quantity but by anything else and you’re getting subpar quality at inflated prices.

For tools, it’s not only brand licensing but mass consolidation. Brands are used similar to car manufacturers.

> Typescript with pointers (that do pointer arithmetic) and no extra

That's pretty close to what Go offers. It seems to be quite a popular choice for people who occasionally need manual memory management but are mostly willing to let the compiler handle things.

It's pretty obvious that the OP is asking why a language like Rust needs to have a more complex syntax/semantics than TypeScript, and the answer has nothing to do with manually allocating buffers.
I've been a Lumina Camera user for almost a year now and I've been impressed with two things: the quality of the camera, but also the Lumina team's approach to improvements. They ship updates constantly and the software gets better all the time. I'm excited to see that same approach to such a cool new product.
Because there's risk in keeping it yourself. Either you lose the keys or you get hacked and they're stolen. The insurance situation is the same either way.
It is strange to me you get DBAs applying for data engineering roles. Especially given that DBA is a very specific title and track. The companies I have worked at typically had data engineers separated because it was a highly specialized form of software engineering.
Absolutely. Software development has many nice CI/CD patterns to generate assets, test, deploy. It enables software engineers to work fast with a safety net and have all pipelines automated.

I think ML development is where web development was in the late 2000's. Clear patterns and best practices have not yet emerged. For example, many ML developers work without reproducibility and traceability enabled. This does not allow for fast and safe work.
The C000 segment was used for the EGA/VGA extension ROM. I'm guessing that using D000-EFFF would be unnecessary (because of the planar addressing squeezing 256kB of video memory into a 64kB address space), inconvenient (because the addresses wouldn't be contiguous - EGA and VGA were designed to coexist with either CGA or monochrome adapters in B000-BFFF) and (for VGA) insufficient - you'd still not have enough to map the entire 256kB of VRAM linearly. I also expect that IBM's engineers didn't want to take up all the extension ROM space because then it wouldn't be possible to add EMS cards, network cards, and whatever else ended up being mapped there. Though 192kB of write-only video memory in that space would be an interesting design!

How long does grocery shopping take you? I can do it in under 30 minutes, definitely under an hour. And in that half hour, my car charges… about three miles (@ 3.6kW)? That’s about how far the trip to the grocery store is. 50A 240V (10.8kW) only gets me up to 7.5 miles of charge in a grocery shopping trip.

This is called cashing out brand equity. Your brand is worth something as a signal. You can cash in on that. If you do it poorly, though, it reduces brand equity. If you do it well, then it is in fact free money other than the time spent on due diligence researching your contractors.

An example of someone currently doing that well is Kirkland house brands at Costco. They are universally known for being an incredible value and just as good or superior to the name brand stuff on the shelf next to them.

An example of someone currently doing it poorly is Pendleton, who is known for making wool blankets that cost $500 and last generations. They have been putting their name all over $20 plastic fleece blankets in the last year or so.
Things you care about went double year over year? That's remarkable if true.

My biggest expense is a fixed rate mortgage, which did not go up. Followed by property taxes, which went up 2.7% between 2021 and 2022.

Electricity barely went up because my electric supplier locks in rates years in advance with long term contract. (I expected it to go up eventually but not 100%)

Food is harder to calculate because prices are variable since grocery stores have periodic sales. I just checked and Diet Coke at Sam's Club went up about 20% year over year- which is a lot but is certainly not double.

Since I tend to order the same thing at a local Wendy's based on my credit card history prices year over year appear to have gone up 4.2%.
Metamask, cake wallet, exodus wallet, or a hardware wallet are all suggestions I have seen. I personally used exodus wallet. Then, you can get the wallet addresses, and have coinbase send a transaction to your wallet. It was actually really easy.

With additional context, I think that's fair to ask but I want to believe there's still things you can meaningfully do to make these interactions feel more intuitive. I would argue that allistic people do see from the other side but have a hard time understanding why austic people end up with a different conclusion. People care how other people see them, that's true to a certain degree. People might not change, but everyone feels affected by other's perceptions of them. There's a lot of conditioned connotations that come from how we grow up in society, so it's not a small bit of effort to move on from a jab or patronizing talk. If someone has worked hard to gain respect and not feel insecure about themselves, patronizing talk is hard to move forward from. In that situation it doesn't matter if it was intentional or not.

People like other people that make them laugh, so I don't know how helpful this will be but I would say try your hand at incorporating some humor into your speech, if you don't already. Focus mainly on humor that punches up, lean towards the humor of Hasan Minaj and not towards the humor of The Big Bang Theory.

It's also not about feigning agreement or caving in to authority. You have to let other people be wrong. It's more nuanced than I can go into here via comments, but I imagine you understand. Letting other people be wrong shouldn't be about prioritizing your values, it's about respecting their learning process as well. If you want to prioritize your values despite understanding that it comes at the cost of respecting other people's learning process, that's a choice you can make. Intent doesn't negate the consequences of how words might affect someone else. I am trying my best to be respectful, I hope I didn't offend with anything I said because that's not my intent. I apologize if I did already at some point.

Thank you for the healthy discourse with me, I appreciate it.
I’m guessing geopolitics is affecting your price. I’m paying 0.045 USD per kWh in for natural gas here in the US, including all fees.
I'm big on the fish sandwich and breakfast burrito. I went there the other day to use the free hashbrown coupon. They cancelled it saying they had no hashbrowns in stock. Seems pretty hard to believe that a McDonald's ran out of 5 cent frozen hashbrowns that come in industrial sized bags. I almost readded it paying for it to test the theory.

It will be interesting to see if locations start pulling tricks to avoid honoring the deals in the app.
The risk calculation is very different. Cryptocurrency is protected by passwords and keys and stuff so is secure from theft without needing a bank. But cash is not, so a bank does provide value - you're more likely to be robbed than the bank go under.

And of course, in most places, banks and other institutions are protected with rules about keeping a certain amount of cash on hand and some sort of insurance mandated by the government.
It isn't, but that's the norm for all internet infrastructure, both last-mile and backbone.

Since time immemorial, the gap between the amortized cost of building it, and anyone's willingness to pay for transport or transit, has been a) huge (that is, commercially insurmountable), and b) traditionally covered by one of two means:

1. Government subsidy, or

2. Attempting to offer services at the high prices necessary to recoup the investment, consequently going bust due to low volumes, selling the infrastructure for a pittance in a fire sale, and the next owner gets to offer services for prices the market is willing to tolerate. With this approach, it merely remains to find some VCs to sucker for the build phase.

It was also possible, back in the day, to run tunnels across your peers since they would announce the IXP networks at each end into their IGP, but folks got wise to that scam.

There is a variation on (2) involving anti-trust laws during M&A but it amounts to the same thing.

Intuitively sure, but would be nice to have some data to back it up; my intuition could say otherwise. Also, even if they're different how do we know how the correlation works? The article claims there is either no correlation or negative correlation. How do we know that?

Ask HN: Why there are no infinite number of flies in a room?
Imagine a room on a sunny day, and flies (insects) in that room. You kill all the flies. Next day, new flies are back. Why there are that many flies in the room, not more or less?

If there was a constant inflow of flies into the room, after some time you would have an infinite number of flies. I never heard of this happening!

One could argue that there is a constant number of flies per volume outside the room and when you kill all the files in the room, there is a negative gradient of flies and the insects will "naturally" move to the room. But such a "fly pressure" would require the flies to bounce from each other, like atoms, which does not seem to happen.

Or maybe flies are territorial animals?
I live in San Antonio, a city where Google Fiber has been an option to a good part of the city for many years. When they came to town standard minimum speeds of competitors bumped from 20-50mb/s to 100-300mb/s almost overnight. Meanwhile, my family and friends just a couple of hours away in Houston were stuck with baseline options in that original range for years until AT&T rolled out their own 1gig offering much more recently.

If nothing else they have proved the competition was needed.
That's not how polls work. They have error bars. Polls showed that election could have gone either way.

They just showed Clinton was the more likely winner. Polling in the US tends to underrepresent actual Republican votes by a few percent.

The manager is such a blank slate in this story it's almost useless to discuss, but what stood out for me was:

"A manager came to me asking if we should rewrite the checkout of our E-Commerce platform using React... in order to make an informed decision, I needed to understand a few things: ... Why do they think a technology change is a solution? Do they understand the implications of such a switch?"

What problems such a switch might solve and what the implications are is what the manager is asking you. Why would you direct exactly those questions back to them?
I think it’s very worthwhile to want to find a methodology behind this, but I think it’s naive to believe most Americans wouldn’t support this.

The popular vote is 7-1 in the previous 8 elections for one party, although the electoral college went 5-3 during that time.

Your statement implies this popular majority favors their side losing? They walk away from those 2 elections feeling this is how things should work? That’s a little silly of a belief.
