This framing is unhelpful.

You haven't been wronged by “corporate America”. That's not even a thing that could have wronged you.

You've worked for or with people behaving badly. Did you call them out on it? If nobody calls them out on bad behaviour how will things get better?

Some people are being so bad that you just have to leave to avoid harm. Fair enough.

It's hard to imagine that this silent retribution does anything but make the problem worse.

From my very limited understanding, with Bitcoin the separation of powers comes from the miners ability to reject an update. With ETH Proof of stake, that is less clear - can the people staking refuse to accept a new protocol version/update?

I read the Bitcoin whitepaper+some other technical document (I think) and have a real solid grasp on how that works. Ethereum, although I have used defi/erc20/uniswap/etc, I've got no idea how it works. Validators, shards, miners... is there a single source I can go to to learn it all? I've got a pretty high technical threshold so if it gets mathy I'm not intimidated. I just want to finally know how it works.
I consumed exactly zero plant-based calories during all of 2021 — no alcohol, no plant-based cooking oil — NOTHING from a plant.

I ended the year in about the best shape of my life — and now that I understand nutrition better I plan to get back on that plan (trying to be “moderate” this year has been underwhelming).

Basically, meat makes you healthy and plants make you fart, give you dry skin, and don’t do anything at all for your musculature.

All the vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients are more highly available in animal-based foods than they are in plant-based food, and the macronutrient profile is basically ideal for human health as well.

It honestly makes me sad that so many people incorrectly think that red meat is not healthy. Red meat is in fact the most nutritious food you can eat and it is an ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY that this is not more widely understood.
By decoupling the user identity from a permanent, globally unique IMSI, we make IMSI catcher / Stingray attacks less "useful" as the IMSI is changing and isn't tied to the user. They can attack your IMSI, but it won't be tied to you and it is ephemeral.

Compared to Javascript, Rust safety features allow me to iterate quickly and improves my productivity from "I won't be able to complete this project" to "it's trivial, just some work". Compared to Typescript, Rust gives me some performance and types that actually represent the data I use, but I am not sure if I lost a bit of productivity (the TS tooling is horrible, so programing a bit slower isn't the entire story).

I don't consider this a problem Rust is good for, but one that all the more suitable languages still don't support.

> Nintendo is the only winner, and i suspect Apple in the coming years will be the only one competing with Nintendo, since Sony abandoned the handheld market, and Microsoft has no interests in the mobile market

Valve? MS will compete that way indirectly. I snagged a SteamDeck - I haven't played games this much in a long time. Since getting it I've played through a bunch of triple A games (God of War, replayed the mass effect trilogy, etc), and a whole host of Nintendo exclusives via emulation.

The fact that Nintendo lawyers are working overtime taking down youtube SteamDeck videos that barely even mention emulation feels like an admission that they know the steamdeck is a threat. They sure didn't seem to work as hard to take down videos showing emulation for other platforms like the Aya Neo.

Show HN: Wordle but for Tweets
Hey HN

I built this simple app that grabs four popular tweets from the last 24 hours and removes a word from each, so that the missing words spell out a phrase. It's the player's job to guess the missing words.

A key motive for building this was that, to be honest, I was finding much of the news and social media dialogue quite depressing. I thought that if a wholesome or inspirational phrase can be built out of these (often tiresome) tweets, then there would be something nice about that.

The stack included GCloud scheduler (for daily Tweet scraping and automatic puzzle generation), Supabase (which, by the way, is fantastic) and Next / Vercel.

I don't buy the monkey story because laughing isn't generally defensive. If somebody attacks you and you laugh, they will attack you harder. To defend yourself with laughter, you point at a third-party and laugh, so maybe they'll think the third party is weaker than you.

That is only right if we completely ignore the cost of the final disposal and such. As always in this calculations they forget to add the cost for the 15.7 billion years of nuclear waste maintenance. If we talk about the cost for the normal consumers (tax payers) this must be included. Don't you think? But if we do the profit talk, you're totally right. What a fantastic business model this is, isn't it?
Indeed. So let me flesh it out a bit more. You can run a validator using 100W (conservative figure) of energy and an Intel NUC with 2 TiB SSD (you can even run it on a Raspberry Pi but no need to be too greedy in HW resources).

That's 876 kWh in a year and 1000 $ in HW. Energy costs vary from place to place but let's pick 0,2 $ / kWh. Which results in 175 $/year in energy. The computer can easily last you 5 years if not more, so 200 $ per year. Let's add internet costs too. 30$ x 12 = 360 $ / year.

Those are the operational costs. Once you have 32 ETH this is pretty negligible.
Users of social media will learn how to deal with righteousness. Until we do, social media will suck big league.

Social Media strongly encourages Hot Takes, because those get clicks. I found myself examining how I comment on reddit, and what people call "The Hivemind".

You can't have nuanced discussions on social media, someone will infer what kind of asshole you exactly are, and that's the end of the discussion.

Some poisoned phrases:

Be Reasonable - "why can't you just be reasonable"

Both Sides - "there are good people on both sides"

Some Responsibility - "she bears some responsibility"

Nuanced Discussion - "you can't have a nuanced discussion on social media"

I'm sure there are some poisoned phrases you react instinctively to.

I think weak arguments are good, actually. You don't need to move someone from the swamp to the mountain, you just need them to get on dry land.

Now I'm sure someone has inferred exactly what kind of asshole I am, and they are correct. This is the kind of asshole I am. The kind that wants reasonable arguments to exist in the real world, even if I have to make them up.
Unless they only distribute it on the Microsoft store does it matter? I play a lot of Windows "exclusives" on my Linux desktop.
I think what you're pointing out is an example of a real problem. I'm not sure the problem has a name or is noticed by most people. But something is off. In some cases it might be that common conventions (like dotfiles) aren't really well-designed. But I think the more general issue is that the current set of abstractions (file/directory/symlink) are not sufficient to take good care of practical use cases we have for data these days, not matter how cleverly we use them.

Should .git directory reside in the same directory as your source code? Maybe not. Fossil has an interesting compromise in that regard.

Should compiled artefacts reside in the same directory as your source code? Almost certainly not. This seems like a bad idea from some hacky implementation decades ago.

Should tools be able to distinguish between "real" files and metadata files? Almost certainly yes, except there are different types of "metadata" files, as you pointed out. I think naming conventions are simply not good enough to handle this properly. This is where FS metadata could come into play.

Generally, I think if someone without prejudice examined the common problems we have with data these days and designed a "file" system from scratch, they would end up with something vastly different from our current files/folders paradigm.

> the speed of Qt signals is not issue - it's the code responding to the signal that can be a problem.

Even if the callback were infinitely fast, if it's called 10e6 times per second, the work already can't take longer than 100 ns on average (10e6 * 100ns = 1e9ns = 1 second). So a more useful way to frame this would be in terms of the ratio of the callback overhead to the work done by the callback (both measured in time), but there's no mention of the latter.

In this particular case, this is a pretty obvious case of 'this is the wrong tool for the job', at least with the stated requirements. Also, at the point where you need to do something 10e6 times per second it's usually appropriate to think about how you might distribute that work across multiple cores.
Adding . and .. was a mistake by itself. I never needed them, but always had to write conditions to skip them when traversing the file system.

Also, dotfiles don't work well with masks because `*` doesn't match dot-files, and `.*` match all dotfiles including . and .. which causes many programs to fall into endless recursion (for example, `du -sh .*`).

Everything related to dotfiles in Linux is done wrong.
Yeah? Don't like this from what I have seen so far. The malware.json looks like a joke. They should take a gander at MISP galaxies and taxonomy stuff. The xkcd about inventing a new thing to replace others and that being yet another thing comes to mind.

I think the idea is that the inverter's job is to always be continually changing the current to the motor's stator windings such that you'd always have close to the optimal angle between the rotor and the magnetic fields created by the stator. Kind of like how a gas engine might backfire if you fired a spark plug at the wrong time so a well designed engine would avoid doing that.

I think we're basically saying the same thing, but I suppose the confusion is mostly semantics.

>At that point you're training a developer.

I don't think this is necessarily the case, or even if it is, I see this as not a problem and even a perfectly acceptable situation. The goal overall is simply to take someone who wasn't originally hired to code, or someone w/ institutional knowledge but no traditional background in programming and empower/enable them to build production applications or tools. Whether in doing so they learn to write code or not is not really an issue one way or the other.

>They are perfect for lazy programmers, but less so for "Citizen Developers".

This was in your original comment and to what I was mostly responding. It seems to me that low-code solutions like Excel do indeed enable people who don't consider themselves programmers to build tools. To a certain extent no-code/low-code solutions like Squarespace do a similar thing, where someone without ever knowing what HTML or CSS is can still build a website, but obviously someone with additional experience would be able to make even better use of the tool. Basically my issue is that I think low-code solutions can actually be pretty decent and useful, but there are a lot of bad solutions out there and I obviously don't see them displacing coders. However, I wouldn't go as far to say that you need to train someone to program in order to make use of low-code solutions.
You should not feel resentment, but you should feel their luck to be born into that.

They did and that place is called Mestre - right next to Venice on mainland. Lots of space and reasonable housing. I think the main problem with living in Venice is that the only jobs available are in services and those do not pay enough to compete in housing with tourists. So attracting remote workers and retirees is the only reasonable play.

One note on population drop - you would expect it even without tourists. 50 years ago Italy was poor and families had many kids crammed into small apts. No one lives like that now - anything less than 1bdrm/kid is cruelty. Considering virtually no new housing in Venice in last 100 years (no land), drop in population is expected.
Everyone has been doing this since forever. Halo was originally supposed to be released on MacOS (!!); then Microsoft bought up Bungie and made it an Xbox exclusive. Sony paid Call of Duty / Activision millions to get exclusive content (like maps, cosmetics, marketing, etc) on PlayStation; before Microsoft bought up Activision. Epic is infamous for their massive spend to gain exclusive distribution of PC games; in only one example, it was revealed that they paid ~$10M USD for one year of exclusive distribution of Control (the game's budget was only ~$36M USD, if that's any indication of how insane these deals are, but oftentimes they're structured in-part as a pre-payment of sales, not just a big free check).

All of this is shitty, but its like two pigs arguing who is more covered in mud.

But I assure you that switching to a medium-size tech company that builds open source products for developers really refreshed my perspective on tech.
I have a long time question. All interruptions in docker container are supposed to be soft interruption, that means different than a network io events backed up by physical hardware. Correct me if wrong.
I remember a professor explaining soft/hard interrupt, if you don't handle my events, I wont' turn off that red LED.
Given so. Do we observe exceptional amount of signal missings in a container?
If true, how they are handled?

My understanding, interruptions is in essence signal processing. hard means hardware chip guartantee the reliablity. soft means signal are just memory address that can be easy wiped out.

I think that’s entirely dependent on who you follow and if you’re not actively utilizing your blocked/muted accounts and/or muted keywords from your feed.

The amount of value I’ve gained from threads on people I follow on how to do something or learning something is insane and the “rich, subtle discussion” in those threads on that topic is sometimes just as good if not better than the thread itself.

No denying the default Twitter is loud, and just wants to suck you into mindless scrolling of ads and things to get you angry about, but you are in charge of how you curate your feed.

> Datalog and SQL are languages for queries

SQL is not only for queries, it includes a Data Definition Language as part of it I believe. You use SQL to define the schema to which the data in the database must confirm.

Similarly for Prolog and Datalog. You can define the form, the schema of data in a simple way and then the relations between the data by declaring simple inference rules between them.

Datalog has the benefit of being simpler, than Prolog. Simpler is better if that is all we need.

This has nothing to do with http :-)

I agree. Meat is the most nutritionally complete food. I haven't eaten vegetables in years. There's nothing more gentle on the digestive system than meat.
Another reason that I’ve seen brought up is that miners aren’t so coordinated. Somebody will have to actually fork the code, remove the difficulty bomb, change the magic parameters to not interfere with the PoS P2P network, etc. Then they have to get enough miners on board to use that particular fork. I think it’s a weak argument, but so far I haven’t seen any coordinated effort to continue mining after the Merge, so it could be a factor.

I think it boils down to a coordination/signalling problem again. Miners want to mine on the fork that they expect to succeed, but it will only succeed if it gets listed on exchanges, exchanges will only list it after it gains serious adoption, but it will only get serious adoption if miners agree on a fork, etc.

A historical example of this is SegWit2x in Bitcoin. It was originally proposed as a protocol upgrade, seemed to gain broad support, but miners and exchanges weren’t universally signalling that they would adopt it, and in the end everybody chickened out, and the change failed to be adopted.
