Yup. My hypothesis is unambiguously verifiable, and I've verified it to my own satisfaction through my personal experiences. Your hypothesis is not unambiguously verifiable, only statistically so (whatever that means). At least it's falsifiable, but there's a deep challenge there because falsification would unveil aspects of our society that most people don't want to know about.
People don't have a choice about giving information to governments. There's a fourth amendment for a reason so I'm obviously anti dragnet. Private parties though may opt into providing anything legal to other private parties at their sole discretion and that's the nature of things. Despite the fact that the majority of Americans are making market choices that many of us would consider "not privacy respecting", that does not make these interactions "public" de facto.

I don't have a Google account. I don't have a Facebook account. I don't take commercial genealogy tests, I'm not an Amazon Prime member. I would prefer to not have the government use the ubiquity of this kinds of behavior as a lever to usurp more information.

I agree that people that bitch about corporate overreach should just not interact with bad actors instead of bitching to the government to somehow safeguard themselves from contracts they sign. At this point, it's not even an information asymmetry situation. Lots of people know Facebook and Google are untrustworthy stewards of this kind of information, but to them the ends justify the means... and that's their market decision I guess.
I’m not sure that’s true. Electricity generation is pretty regional, so it’s not like we can use a region’s hydro capacity to store energy for other regions. It can store energy for the region that already has hydro, but that region already has hydro so it probably needs less storage in the first place?
When are people going to realize that medical care is the cornerstone of advanced society. Increasing average lifespans raises the collective memetic IQ of the population, and lets us build more advanced things.
It's become popular to talk about how scalable SQLite is lately, but let's not forget the elephant in the room, it only allows a single writer at a time.

It's obviously easier to manage and maintain due to it being an embedded database, but that seems to be a very separate issue from the data structure involved, which definitely has disadvantages compared to a typical SQL system.
This comes up when giving fractional coordinates into a grid. Is (1,1) the upper-left corner of the upper-left grid box, the center, or the lower-right (or the center of the next grid box)? Alternately, is the upper-left corner of the upper-left grid box (-0.5, -0.5), (0.0, 0.0), (0.5, 0.5), or (1.0, 1.0). I've seen all four conventions used in different places, depending on whether the grid boxes themselves are numbered starting at 0 or 1, and when extended to fractional if it makes more sense to have the corner or the center of the grid box take the value of the box itself.

> In general, it is useful for many projects to be aligned with something people or businesses believe in so much or find value in that they are willing to pay for.

The end of the day it comes down to audience regardless of your code being open source. I chose an alternative analytics based on the founders' business acumen, morals and ethics before I even considered open source. Similarily, Discord Nitro over Matrix and Circle/Mighty Network over Discourse.

The author shared good examples but for majority of projects, it doesn't make sense to open source it as a path to financial security. I'd argue it actually hurts many niches. I assume Plausible has a healthy dose of startup clients who are techie that see open source first as the holy grail for trust, transparency, and security. That's a solid audience! Otherwise, think again.

If they try that Ethereum will fork and I (and everyone I have any interest in interacting with) will be on the non-censored fork.

With the old system, miners could try to sabotage our fork if most hashing power were to be on the censored fork. With this update, that would not be possible as the censors would lose their money on the non-censored fork and therefore be unable to stake. The relative power of the forks no longer matter as they cannot attack each other anymore.

Ethereum is becoming more decentralized and permissionless as a result of this change.
I'm curious if Lockdown mode would prevent this exploit?

From Apple's Lockdown site, it's hard to tell the extent of what is locked down.

This is allegedly the fix for this exploit for webkit: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/3023, it appears to at least somewhat related to the JIT, but I don't know enough about the exploit, or webkit to make that determination.

You are probably right, I'm not invested in enough in that ecosystem to know one way or another. I do know lots of things remain disrupted by this transition in ways that still personally inconvenience me.
Science definitely needs a bigger budget. There's some interesting math to do here: if the number $300 billion is an accurate estimate of taxpayer cost, and the quick Google I did on the number of taxpayers in the US is correct at 144.3 million, then that means the average cost to an individual taxpayer is about $2,080/year. Which is 1/7 the cost of my own university/student loan expenses, even after financial aid, grants, scholarships, etc. My local public college is $2,800/year.

In other words, if these numbers are all correct, then the cost to each taxpayer is less than the cost of public college, and much less than the cost of private universities. And when you consider that students at more expensive universities are more likely to have larger student loans, it shifts the average costs being paid off higher, meaning taxpayers are paying much less than people going to college would need to pay.

Obviously this is a simplification, and there are things to consider such as how this is covering everyone who's ever been to college in the US before and hasn't finished paying their loans (as opposed to just the people with new loans, which a policy like this would eventually settle into being).
A disadvantage comes to mind. While the following loop works as expected:

for (size_t i = 0; i < length; i++) ...

The following causes an unsigned integer underflow and is an infinite loop:

for (size_t i = length - 1; i >= 0; i--) ...
Wish there was similar guide explaining the basics of cooperate accounting for developers. As a dev that has to occasionally work on integrating web apps with our erp system, I still get lost when the erp guys or biz people talk about various accounting processes.

I'm new to physics engines—I just started figuring out how to upgrade my simple grid cellular automata engine to a 2D engine for my toy sim tool (https://github.com/breck7/simoji) —and have been surprised by existing implementations, because it just seems not how the universe actually computes. I had not seen PBD before and it seems to be a closer model.
I assure you, that if we counted from zero, there would be an instruction to add and multiply in the same number of cycles as a multiply.
The problem anonporridge was talking about was the 10% of solar meeting the current demand and then suddenly going to 100% in three seconds, so there's 'too much' power on the grid i.e. overprovision breaking things. Which it doesn't.

While your example is solar at 100% exactly meeting demand, and then dropping to 10% in 3 seconds, and the fix for that is: overprovision (and some other stuff).

They do need to have decent predictions of demand and supply, like this graph that shows the 1-hour ahead and 24-hour ahead predictions:

Ask HN: How to avoid overthinking when working on projects
I have this problem where I tend to overthink when I'm working on a side project.

In actuality I would prefer to build something crappy than to build nothing at all. At least that way I have something cool to show to people.

But I find it tough to stop my mind from thinking stuff like "this thing you're working on isn't going to work, it's probably not going to be useful at all. let's just stop working on it"

As a result I find it really hard to work on side projects and I end up wasting that time on consuming useless things like social media and video games.

How do I stop myself from overthinking when building side projects and just do it and finish it?
That's the descriptivist take, which is useful for studying informal communication, particularly in languages like english where there is no recognized authority that could prescribe how a language is used.

Many languages, and especially most subsets of languages in technical use are prescribed; however.

Enough people using literally when they mean figuratively will eventually make literally mean figuratively in casual conversation. But no amount of people saying squid when they mean octopus will make squid mean octopus within the marine biology community.

You're literally commenting on a thread about how 100% renewable is possible on a comment demonstrating that an individual can beat the cost effectiveness of new nuclear with 100% renewables.

The utility scale version of the digester is a gas peaker running on green ammonia possibly with a mix of long distance transmission. Everything else scales at least linearly.

Nuclear is dead. The last nail went into the coffin when green hydrogen first hit parity with delivered grey hydrogen in some regions. The case just gets worse from here. Stop shilling.
State national guard units are not the US military. A dead giveaway is that if something happened on US soil, it is not a US military operation.

PJM has "Regulation D" signals for sub-second response from energy storage resources (which are mostly batteries in practice):

https://www.pjm.com/~/media/committees-groups/task-forces/rm...

An energy storage regulating resource, such as a battery or flywheel, cannot burn fuels to produce electricity, but instead charge and discharge energy from the bulk electric system itself through a power inverter. Energy storage devices can match a desired output within 200 milliseconds of receiving the regulating signal; therefore these resources do not need to model any dynamics, ramp limitations, or dead-bands.

Australia is also using batteries in a similar way:

One thing I've learned recently is that grid management is extremely primitive. People are literally emailing each other word docs and pdfs and calling each other on the phone to make changes to generation output to keep the grid stable.

It's an area that's ripe for some software innovation, if they can actually break through the legacy management club that currently runs the grid.

Staking pools are not part of the Ethereum network protocol - they are a third party that you need to trust with your Eth. You are lending your Eth to this third party, who will then participate in the Eth network on your behalf, and who is also under no particular requirement to do what they say they will.

If I have to give my currency to a third party who will then invest it for me, then why bother with decentralised cryptos at all?

>any operation on the network requires trust that the network will do what it agreed it will do.

If I were an Eth apologist, I would explain how the code that defines the network operations is fully open and inspectable, so no trust needed.
Thanks! Looks great, I hadn't heard of it

I have used 1 based in basic/pascal and 0 based (well in pretty much everything), 0 based effectively no off-by one mistakes. 1 based - common. Most idioms - incl. forward and reverse iterations work better, and are easier to remember with inclusive/exclusive pattern

Other than that - binary AND and power of 2 sized arrays are the backbone of any hashtable. Overall modulus (binary AND) is actually useful.

The parent is pointing out, that if you are trying to find a solution to generate 5kw of constant power using nuclear, for the same cost you can get an absurd amount of renewable generation and storage plus a backup generator. The batteries can store 15 hours worth of energy at peak demand, you get a 10x overbuild of peak capacity in solar, plus wind, biogas and a backup generator to boot. It is highly unlikely that the system would ever fail. I would guess you could probably cut the system size in half and still have uptime in the high 9's. And the added bonus is you would have a fair bit of redundancy should any part of the system need maintenance, whereas the nuclear solution doesn't even come with a backup generator.
I feel this year around the holidays (US) will see good deals on HDDs. Prices have held steady for a rather long time e.g. 4TB still around 80-120 for consumer and nas based drives.

Drive shucking is still viable depending on the external drive, for anyone who wants cheap(er) drives but with some work.
ASICs are also populated onto cards, and miner firmware handles tuning the hash rate of each chip (or card) based on inputs like desired temperature and power consumption. These inputs are often adjustable.

Heat causes chips and other components to degrade, so not everyone runs their miners at maximum output all the time.

Well the economic part is solved by solar/wind/batteries being much cheaper than all the other options, that's why this model overprovisions wind and solar.

So yes, lots of solar might make it more cost effective to add some wind and/or batteries and vice versa but that's a good thing and what this model explores.

What is it with people who don't drink being particularly disparaging about people who do and how and why they use it?

"depending on alcohol for team building sounds like the worst idea ever.

i don't want to be friends with people if their ability to develop friendship depends on alcohol. actually, i find it deceptive. i want to be friends with the real person. not the drunk person. it's dishonest. it's telling me that this person doesn't actually like me, and it's only the alcohol that makes them friendly. for an introvert who already has difficulty trusting people and making friends, this makes it worse, because it's a friendship that can't be trusted."

People aren't "depending" on alcohol, they're using it. Getting wasted is not a requirement of drinking alcohol. Alcohol reduces inhibitions. In small amounts it's enough to make a person feel less like they're going to sound stupid if they try to talk to new people. It's not deceptive any more than not opening up to others because you're anxious is "deceptive".

You are not better than other people because you don't drink.
This system is used for racehorses as well.
I mean, it's only natural.

I have been using C++, Python and Rust professionally, the developer experience is simply one order of magnitude better with Rust. The tooling is excellent, a sane compilation model brings you a lot, the type system is very helpful. Compared with C++, I measured x3 productivity on writing initial code on a project (sometimes C++ was the rewrite, sometimes Rust was, so not this kind of bias). Compounding maintenance, I expect it to tend to 1 order of magnitude in time.

Meanwhile, using Python can sometimes feel magical, but I have to maintain a library written in the language, and I can feel that it hasn't been optimized for this use case. It is terribly hard to keep backward compatibility, adding typing annotations is somewhat useful, but has terrible ergonomics, ensuring no regression is a pain that translates to endless suites of unit tests even for trivial matters ("be your own compiler" will never be a great idea IMO, although tooling like pylance does help a bit).

Meanwhile the rearguard is defending for new projects some kind of "No true Scotsman"ish modern C++ delusion, that I am still looking for and that moves like goalposts in every discussion I have with its proponents. My only explanation for the phenomenon is that it is fueled by hubris and sunk cost biases, because my experience with the modern idioms is that while they bring significant improvements, they are still very subpar compared to the expectations brought forth by a modern language, and memory safety related CVEs are still being written everyday in C++.

So, what should I do? It is true that, in more than 15 years of coding, Rust represents a revolution in programming in my eyes. Should I sit idly while others are missing on it and someone is wrong on the Internet?
This is not a true statement. The AEC has its own Restricted Data classification which is not under the purview of the president to declassify. There are other cases of classification but this is one that is not easily debatable.
For me it comes down to; are you enumerating intervals or items to offset into.
Good luck finding one easily.

This was obvious to me in 2014, when I was part of the earliest discussions at Disney for building a streaming service. It was obvious to everyone working in the space.

As we started discussing partnerships with various providers to help distribute, it became clear they wanted a window into our service where they could see what was available and direct link to content in our streaming apps. Essentially, they wanted to keep owning the customer's experience and pass them to us to watch something. Everyone wanted to be in the position to be the next cable company.

Even Apple. Apple TV+ is one of the latest movers here, and I think it's because they were pushing hard for a while to be that "we own the customer experience" layer but the content companies had gotten wise to Apple's tactics since the early days of iTunes.
Your mistake is using years - use milliseconds (or nanoseconds) when you wish to express a duration. Years don't even have the same duration/length (leap years, and leap seconds)
"Offset-based" is bringing in pointers; that's the thing it's an offset "from". "The beginning of the array" is just a pointer.

I suppose saying that does have an advantage over explicitly talking about pointers, in that the word "pointer" is a piece of jargon that has a lot of baggage. That's just avoiding jargon, though, not really using a different model.
