I don't think that is a bad thing, considering that a YouTube video in HD would be 500MB and people flick through them like web pages.

I agree with OP that if you are on a powerful machine with fast internet it would be better just to load a massive HTML document of list items.
I've been whining about how unjust and non-meritocratic the current economy has been for the last 5 years and look at that... These insane inflation numbers are proving me right. I'm quite sure the inflation will continue too. My detractors were in fact gaslighting me the whole time, as I suspected.

The people at the top today are incompetent and lack principles. No better than the corrupt dictators of uncivilized nations. I almost get satisfaction seeing them driving that sinking ship all the way to the seafloor. That's the most meritocratic thing I've seen in a decade.
In my sample size of two different brands, this isn’t true.

Yet we do not live in that world and it is in fact not a goal to achieve. It's over the top and nonsensical. Like the commentor stated above you its extremist views like this one which will make the common folks squash any movement towards "green new deals." Just watch what happens when the climate nuts like Extinction Rebellion try to interfere in the normal people's day.

They ER types get crushed because real people do not have time or money for horseshit.

Climate change will merely be adapted too. But not in the expensive fart counting way some in this thread suggest.

Humanity will continue to expand and use technology to solve our biggest problems.

The world is in fact not ending. It is changing just as it always has. Humanity will do the same.

But deterministic iteration order doesn’t imply that the order of keys is kept the same. There are map implementations that keep iteration follow insertion order, but the canonical map does not guarantee that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array#Hash_table_i...:

“The most frequently used general purpose implementation of an associative array is with a hash table: an array combined with a hash function that separates each key into a separate "bucket" of the array“

Such implementations iterate over maps in order of hash value (and hash collisions may or may not follow (reverse) insertion order)

If you're in a serious multicore setting and you don't take waiting threads off the contended cache line while the other 50 threads take their turn with the underlying contended thing it's very easy to end up way worse off than if you had just let the scheduler drop those threads into e.g. a futex and wake them up when it's their turn.

I'm not sure how deep you'd need to go into the low-power or embedded or hard-realtime worlds before `std::mutex` doesn't do a modest number of spin-CAS rounds before dropping into the futex, I'm sure it exists.

And maybe you work at Optiver and you've got an FPGA interacting with the link-layer and you literally never leave userspace after startup and you've got your own hand-crafted DMA busy-poll situation going because you build your machines with the exact number of cores for the number of threads you need and throw them away when the software changes. There are domains like that. </modest-hyperbole>

The number of "aggressively intermediate" people working at serious companies who roll their own concurrency shit because it's Just Fucking Metal Man is terrifyingly high. And it's dangerous, because if you are someone who needs custom concurrency you know, but if you aren't someone who needs custom concurrency, you often still think you know.
Hey Syzygies. Can you please reach out to me at my HN bio? I am conducting an analysis of mathematicians and Fields medalists’ proclivity to remain within pure mathematics terrain vs context switch to some worldly contribution, particularly in light of some of the pressing problems of modernity. You seem to have insight in this subject. If you have the few minutes of time, I would appreciate you reaching out. I can compensate for survey time as well. Thank you in advance!

Where did i suggest that? I only showed that what i did is a possible path. At no point i judged the other paths.

Watch my phrasing.. "... is an option", "you don't have to ...".

I agree, but I am a little biased here as a product owner. Developers like to code. It's what they were hired to do, and it's what generates the most value the fastest. Anything which pulls a developer into meetings is lost productivity. There are occasions for devs to speak with end users; during, for example, refinement and demos. However unless I am vigilant, the developers quickly end up spending most of their time wasted in meetings with four other managers.

You hit the nail on the head: developers aren't well versed in customer and office politics, and most of them don't want to be. I am, as part of my job, and I know who is trying to muscle their pet project into the next sprint. I am the buffer; the diplomat and negotiator; and my team seems very happy with this arrangement.

Input was limited to 60 hz, so 30 unique FPS per eye.

You could do 60 per eye on 120 hz monitors. Just not on TVs. In any case, even 60hz per eye is a horrible flicker fest to me. Had enough of that back in CRT days.

To be fair, this has always happened with a sticker price. I always check the receipt, and now and then there are some differences.

It makes it more difficult to argue it is the wrong price though! :)
I’m struggling to understand what this actually does. I poked around looking for information on the actual protocol, read through the site, and I don’t understand what this solves. The mechanics of the protocol aren’t very well defined, and the site says a lot of things without giving much information. TMTP isn’t an idea I would invest in and it’s nice that people are working on new protocols.

Another interesting thing is that many countries are experiencing lower inflation than the US, but their currency is getting weaker, so the USD's purchasing power is increasing two-fold. I've been planning a trip to Malaysia because while their exchange rate against the dollar has fallen, they've only experienced ~3% inflation, so not only are all of their products 22% as expensive, they also haven't meaningfully changed in price since 3 years ago (from the dollar perspective), whereas the dollar's purchasing power in the US is basically down 25%.
You keep using "likely" and "almost certainly", suggesting uncertainty, but then somehow arrive at a strong conclusion that such a rocket is an "unsolvable problem". The latter does not follow from the former.
>For people in the EU/UK, how has this currency slide impacted your day to day?

Not at all?

I mean, I guess you could argue which caused which but the real problem here in central Europe are gas and energy prices. Those legitimately doubled and affect personal budgets.
I had this idea as an undergraduate. Unfortunately, I didn't consider the geometry and realized too late that a good viewing experience with a projector requires a screen, which I didn't have room (or money) for. As penance I watched most of Inuyasha on a popcorn wall.
Three things:

1 Renewables: The solution exists already but no gov't (in particular the UK) is implementing it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/100%25_renewable_energy

2 The UK gov't rather is arresting people demonstrating for housing insulation. This is probably the dumbest thing a gov't can do, since insulation is a "bipartisan" issue and everybody would profit from it.

3 On top of this the UK is on the verge of picking a fight with the EU and risking a trade war by its illegal and unilateral changes to the Brexit agreement. NI political issues aside, no sane gov't would do that at this point in time.

The Euro had two predecessors (kinda) - the European Unit of Account and the European Currency Unit. They weren’t day to day currencies, but they were used for things like cross-border bonds. The EUA was originally defined to be one dollar worth of gold back in the gold standard days.

Each transition saw a 1:1 conversion with fluctuation - usually to benefit the EUA/ECU/Euro - along the way.

Ask HN: Histories of Early Social Media
Hi HN,

I’m working on a history of social media platforms. I aim to trace out the evolution of the specific platform features that we take for granted today (groups, profiles, “interests”, etc).

Although there do exist a few histories of social media, they are shallow and don’t cover platform details in depth.

Do you know of any computing blogs/magazines/personal blogs or even historians/people who might have information that I’m looking for — specifically, details about the platforms themselves?

Thank you HN :)

EDIT: if there are any older internet users reading this, I would be really grateful if I could ask you a few questions about this! (email, Zoom, whatever works)

Non-tech people I talk to hate ads too. Boomers have been talking about how facebook is all ads now too.

It's not like this was an earthquake that we idly knew would come one day that just suddenly hit us out of the blue.

NATO made a deliberate decision to bring Ukraine into the fold in 2019 and Russia reacted predictably, but not before giving us an opportunity to back down first: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/02/world/europe/us-nato-resp...

We dove into this knowing full well the dire energy risks that escalation posed to Europe and are now acting shocked that we didnt prepare.

Even now Stoltenburg's official line is basically "suck it up, Europe" which I assume means that NATO leadership is perfectly comfortable with the idea of a European economic disaster this winter.

The solutions you mentioned are all great in theory but the workable ones mostly all have a 5-10 year horizon and we have a problem now.
The anti-lock down protesters were a fringe group. An energy crisis is different matter. It will not only affect the lunatic fringe, this will affect everyone.
No it probably means that with a valid M1 Mac serial number you can buy the entire logic board for $800.

If you mean we'd all benefit from houses built so that they were comfortable and spacious without requiring constant artificial heating & cooling, and such that we didn't live so far apart from each other that we relied entirely on unwieldy polluting (and dangerous) automobiles to get anywhere we needed to be, then sure.

I checked the EURUSD rate on Yahoo Finance, selected "MAX" for the date range, saw that it started @ 2004 which sounded about right. But thinking now I guess it launched a couple years prior and could easily have been lower back then.

Yes, we're seeing inflation rates across the board above 10%, which is where the UK sits today. Estonia is the highest at 23%.

I ran a home server last year with jellyfin, nextcloud, torrent server, etc. I ended up spending more time and money on the server than watching and paying for the actual content. And then the thing was always broken in some way.
Being an interactive touch monitor is likely part of the cost.
I don't have a problem with ads in general - I have a problem with how they are currently presenting ads. It was never this bad in the past, and I honestly I'm not sure I want to pay money to a company who uses these predatory techniques.

40 minute ads? Who even does this? The only way someone would even consider watching this instead of the content they actually clicked on would be if someone let it autoplay. This is the kind of thing my 5 year old nephews would do.

Absolutely disgusting predatory behaviour...
The paid option is very expensive. I would pay for an ad-free only Youtube, but this option is not available in my country.

No M2 support? Also, no support for Intel based Macs? Seems like lip service to me.

Although on the bright side, at least Apple is making an effort in the past 1-2 years towards repairability. Would be better if they pull their opposition for "right to repair".
> The echo chamber at C level is, imo, the reason PMs get sidelined.

I spent a lot of my time at my last job trying to ascertain the business value of strategic projects - for which there appeared to be no business cases - while explaining to my end users who had strong businesses cases why their projects wouldn't be completed any time soon. Eventually it became clear that I was supposed to just make up some numbers to justify the work on the strategic projects; business value be damned. C level sometimes forgets their big ideas have enormous opportunity cost involved, and that they, too, should be able to justify the EFTs.
COP is not efficiency. Efficiency is what you did / what you had the resources to do in an ideal world.

That makes thermal chemical heating 20-50% efficient, thermal electric heating 10-30% and heat pumps 50-70% efficient (depending on where you draw the boundaries).

You could also draw the limit at reduced carnot efficiency rather than reversibility, in which case heat pumps can be close to 100%
You're going to have to put it in a faraday cage when they start including modems into the TV. lol
perhaps I'm daft, but why should I care that you've written it in Rust? The number of times Rust is mentioned on the landing page feels...odd.

I love shiny new things. However, without some sense of how this compares to alternatives, it's difficult to see why I should dive down the surrealdb rabbit hole. Feature lists are ok, but what I really want is context. Why should I care about what surrealdb can do?
There are multiple studies and theories being put out on why inflation occur, both now and in the past. I don't really see a major consensus on a single explanation.

The two major one that seems to make most sense to me is "net importing vs net exporter", and the other is the theory about low supply. For the first one, if a country is importing more than exporting, then the imports is being paid over time by the exports. Increasing the amount of money in such country does nothing since its the exported products that pay for the imports, not the currency.

The second theory is that in periods where demand exceed that of supply. In those situation people will bid to buy the limited resource, and if you increase the amount of money circulating then the bids will simply go up for the same limited resource. Natural gas is being used as an example in Europe, where the only way to reduce inflation is to reduce consumption. Reduced consumption however slows economic growth and thus a conflict between inflation and growth.

I'm scared to admit that the future will likely see "AI-only" roads where only licensed AI is allowed to operate, no human drivers. Simply because eventually these car companies will hit a wall with uptake and usage, and they'll lobby the pants off of city and state government to prove the worth of their AI driving.

I'm thinking something like I70 or I25 in Colorado, which barely function on a daily basis because the human drivers are just so dangerous. AI will seem like an upgrade just because it'll filter certain demographics from the road and reduce traffic... for a little while.

To clarify: I do not think this is a good idea. But eventually the hot AI/electric car uptake will slow, and car companies are going to look for the next opportunity to make more people upgrade. What accomplishes that better than anything? Banning older cars from certain roads, making their experiences retroactively poor enough to force an early upgrade!

I think they mixed up the 90s and the 80s, since the Euro should date back to the agreement signed in 1992.
That’s not an answer to the parent’s question. HackerOne has a disclosure process despite the NDA, so what part of the process is the issue? Or is it simply “hackerone bad”?
At work I (usually) write networking software that is (or supposed to be) platform-agnostic. So for my main duty I don't need to know OS APIs and stuff. But I also often troubleshoot different issues when interaction (mainly through sockets) between our SW and customers' goes wrong. Here the named tools help quite a lot.
Googling particular issues is natural, but I don't see it as the most efficient way to learn a tool.
Ask HN: Where to find non-technical person to scale existing (micro) company?
Like so many others here, I love building small niche apps.

I’m good at finding the initial idea and customers but feel my apps and ideas fall short of their full potential because of me.

Specifically, I reckon someone with a passion for online marketing, content creation, and/or B2B sales would be able to take the company much further. Possibly with relatively little effort and money invested.

Many of them could be $10-20K/mth app so I’d much rather split my company 50/50 with someone than have it sit at $1K/mth.

How do you find such people? And is this even a thing?

The alternative seems to be selling the company.
No solution is worse than a flawed solution. There are many ways to make progress that aren’t being tried, like using tax code to dissuade Americans from buying SUVs, but those are the only American made cars people buy so there is no action.
Has there ever been any evidence of any TV doing this, ever?
These look like great tips from someone who knows their stuff.
I can do youtube, Netflix, and Amazon prime with mine, plus BBC and ITV etc here in the UK.

What else can they do that I'm missing out on?
But will it join open networks automatically? It is of course entirely possible, technically speaking, but would get any company actually doing that in a lot of trouble in most developed countries.
We should probably ban loads of our low paid workers from entering the country, print a load of money and give it to people, tell the remaining workers to stay at home, change all of our working practices so that they don't match our infrastructure, and unilaterally sever trade with partners that sell us energy.

What could possibly go wrong?
Most UK cities had big occupy protests, we had one in my city in the UK for quite a while.
> and the government is doing nothing.

What do you think the government should do?
Assuming one has to be "more correct" is a fool's errand. You are talking about the dregs of an already corrupt and ideologically (rather than evidence) driven party that was further culled to only those who were willing to support the current inept and corrupt PM.

The Tories are so out of ideas and people with any talent or charisma, they think these two are the best they have to offer. Both have literally nothing to address this except doubling down on fantasy economics that we can see hasn't worked up to this point.
> We simply cannot maintain our standard of living into the future.

Don't make the mistake of confusing energy use with quality of life.

People like to make such alarmist statement around standard of living but we should instead ask ourselves what makes for quality of life.

A good example is planned obsolescence in technology: it greatly increases energy usage and pollution without making consumers happier (on the contrary they hate it)
