It's still far cheaper to produce a plastic bottle, energy wise. Or, imagine, reusing a glass or metal container multiple times instead of crushing and smelting the same aluminum can every time it's contents are depleted.
> Let's say we have an economy where, in order to determine who owns what, people literally just make and publish a list of who owns what.

As an interesting aside, this is essentially how the economy of the Yap islands in Micronesia worked until the 20th century, with large stones from another island changing 'ownership', while being left in place (because it was too hard to move them)[1].

Except it was an oral history instead of a published list!

What about banks that run 'containers'.

Serious note.. many containers are not production-ready. They're made for ease of use... no passwords, listen on all addresses, etc. Like mysql and mongodb in the early days
die hard bitcoin followers want regulations and etfs. The cypherpunks aren't relevant in bitcoinland these days. In fact in a poll overwhelmingly 90% responded that they'd be willing to slash ofac validators if the need arises. The greatest strength of crypto is the ability to fork, and you'd see which one of those would be called 'ethereum' by some derivatives market before the event even happens
“Right thing to do”, or, “punch back 10 times harder so the next troll thinks twice.”

Both work for me. When people trumpet their altruism, I usually don’t buy it.

I don’t really care about geohotz motivation though. Glad to see someone with the means standing up to the trolls.
Not only that but which floor is the 13th (in the West) or 14th (in China)? Often those numbers are skipped because "luck", "feng shui", or other superstitious nonsense.

Do you count the machine floors in high rise buildings?

In AU, the ground floor is effectively "zero", the first floor is the one above ground. Depending on the design of the building, there might be a "mezzanine" floor between ground and 1st.

Basements usually follow the same pattern, so B1 is the first floor below ground etc.

I personally think so. I avoid religious doctors (just like I avoid homeopathy) because I don’t think magical thinking results in better outcomes. I’m worried that this magical thinking gets in the way of treatment and outcomes.

To illustrate this, I started drawing recently starting from scratch. It’s distressing to realize how much my own brain intercepts and modify what my actual eyes see, to show me a picture that isn’t reality (proportions are changed for instance, we tend to naturally draw faces without forehead when the forehead is actually half the face).

The point I’m trying to make is that the brain is very weird and biased already to make all kinds of mistakes or overlook things without adding magical thinking on top. Believing things like “it’s gods will” or “it can be prayed away” would seriously bias and interfere with treatment or available evidence, I feel.
That's the whole point of what the author did. He didn't model putting solar out in the Western Desert or something - he scaled up the existing wind and solar generation on the NEM, implying more generation in the places where we know transmission works just fine, because we're doing it now. Of course if we put more utility scale solar in New England or Central West we'll need to augment the existing transmission, but that's just increasing the capacity of transmission where we already have it.

My understanding is that it is starting to (presumably anyway) have an effect on conception, because a sperm that can't move is a sperm that can't fertilize an egg, and there aren't competing superior sperm to make up for the shortfall.

Which by itself is fine, really. Sperm that fails to reach an egg means the genes that made that sperm do not "deserve" to reproduce. However, if people want to make a fuss over low birth rates, and this is one factor behind it, it's going to get attention.

Whether spam is or isn't email's fault, or a consequence of its architectural naivete, is arguable.

What's not arguable is that spam is email's problem.

What responses to my quite off-the-cuff though apparently resonating comment has (mostly) failed to recognise though is that spam is a problem not only for email users but across the spectrum for operators, administrators, senders, application designers, and a whole host of others. The fact, volume, and consequences of spam have a tremendous set of knock-on effects which are hard to express with any degree of coherence and sufficiency.
Ask HN: How to get a job as a compiler engineer?
I have a BS and MS in computer science and I have been working part-time on my PhD in compilers for four years now. My research is about attribute grammars. I love my PhD research topic, it's challenging, fun and novel but I don't see it being used for any practical applications. I teach basic compiler course part-time as an instructor at my university as well. I work full-time as a backend software engineer at Microsoft.
My goal is to actually use the concepts I spent so much to learn in my PhD in my career. Where should I start? What tool/library/framework is a must know for a compiler engineer? What are the companies that do exciting stuff in compilers?

I appreciate any help. Thank you
You're essentially saying that it's perfectly reasonable for the CIA to extra-judicially kill any people in Pakistan with virtually no oversight, because the CIA gets to decide who is a "bad guy" and has a right to operate in any foreign country at will, whether the country accepts it or not.

Respectfully, I beg to differ.
That odd one out deal I picked up on too in my experience. It really awoke in me a perception of the whole sense of family friendly vs adult oriented. I realized I had been on an adult only train for decades never contemplating the absence of children as being anything abnormal. I just assumed for the most part they were around just not in the venues or circles I mingled with. Eventually I realized they’re mostly absent never having been born. That was a pretty stark realization I think that hit me when Kaiser released some document about “Children, California’s Most Precious Resource”. The adult oriented world I realized was a diversion into all sorts of endeavors unrelated to continuing the species. There’s a saying I heard like in the last 2 years let’s say—-a place that isn’t crying is dying. Ie no cries of children being heard that group of individuals will be no more in say 60 years.
Downvotes: I'm so glad you asked, as I often wonder the same on "you're being downvotes because" comments. Eventually a post goes grey, but prior to that I have not been able to spot an indicator of downvotes happening. And I do have the downvote button.
> misunderstanding that higher revs = higher fuel consumption

That is a good approximation. Each revolution has to do a somewhat fixed amount of work due to resistance.

However too low revs will mess up milage too due to bad combustion.
What the sibling comment said is spot on! Rust requires you to design programs very differently than what you do in GC-languages.

You may try to avoid using things like lifetimes for a while, but those are completely undispensable to writing Rust... same with macros. They are really important and widely used in Rust.

One very good way to avoid simple mistakes is to configure Clippy to run on your IDE (or just run it manually): https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy

Elon Musk scolds Tesla driver criticizing $199/month Self-Driving subscription
just want to add that you do a dis-service for calling out feminism in korea without providing some context. decades of treating women basically as second class citizens or worse with no outlet "created" this environment. there's an equally large incel base in korea and we can argue to death who "started" it first, but history has shown it's usually the men heh.

this doesn't excuse or condone the toxicity, but this brand of feminism didn't just rise up out of nowhere.

agree w/ everything else u said, and part of it (part of, not all) here is women realized they can just live as a single or have their careers and not worry about the bullshit in-law drama and what have you.
I don't think you can really be. At my school years ago, i met this 18 or 19 yo girl who recoded most of 'ls' in 3 days (without printf or any va_arg as this was forbidden), then got bored and added all the options even some obscure ones and improved the efficiency using branchless tricks, all while teaching people with less than 2 month of experience in programming binary masks and bit shifting (successfully). She wasn't the best in my year, in this new school without reputation.

That's why I decided very early in my career than being the best was pretty much impossible and that i would focus on being a good teammate, knowledgeable on most subjects with a deep focus on one (7 years later i still haven't really chosen btw), and happy to share this knowledge. Write good code, follow the practice of your team even if it means letting go this fantastic python trick (or change them if you think they're inappropriate), document everything and ask for advice. And give advice
People are worried that over-population is problem, some idiots even decide not to have children. But real problem is the opposite - population collapse. How do you plan to retire if there's not enough young people to sustain ever growing older population. Rough times are ahead of us, something we haven't yet experienced.

Good think about crypto is that you can just look at the code!

Here is the Tether USDT contract https://etherscan.io/token/0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c....

There is a map `isBlackListed: address => bool` that stores blacklisted accounts. Then the transfer function starts with

function transfer(address _to, uint _value) public whenNotPaused {
require(!isBlackListed[msg.sender]);
...
}

So a blacklisted account cannot send USDT.
I think in the EU the limit is sometimes not Init7 but the Speedtest.net servers. I ran a test to many of them and did get above 10Gbps but only to eu-25g.ookla.tierservers.com, which clearly has a 25Gbps NIC.

A bunch of other Speedtest.net servers were located in Amsterdam and took a very similar route via Cogent but none of the others broke the 10Gbps barrier.

It is for sure often Init7 though. Those peering relationships it built up have become a bit of a weakness because they're usually limited to a 10Gbps port.

Yes but the house price in Seoul will remain the same-ish while all the other regions crash first. Korea already has a 50.4% of the population living in/ around Seoul and this is going to get worse as population drops off. This would mean the demand to live near Seoul might stay constant even with the absolute number of population in Korea dropping. Later though, the house price of Seoul will drop as well.
I think there is a middle ground. My work on a deterministic, ai-free code gen tool uses DSLs in a more abstract, declarative space. The details are handled in the templates and extra config from the input.

Prisma, Atlas, and OpenAPI-generator are similar, with increasing complexity of input and DSL, respectively.

I do like your point that context of natural language as input can change over time. I imagine it also would if trained on different source code, or even different target languages and technologies.

I'm thinking that these AI could be simplified if their target was one of these middle ground abstractions in a DSL, letting fewer (expert) humans write the code via templates
Quit the industry and go into academia. Professional programming is slow and rarely innovative.

I think this is mostly a side effect in this case (though a welcome one for honest users).

Locke, who is the founding president of the Tesla Owners Clubs in Vancouver Island and Santa Clarita Valley, promptly apologized.

> I am currently the main provider and my wife works part time while in school. All money is our money no matter who earned it. It’s never been a point of debate or emotions other than “oh we got more money this month, cool!” in the event of a bonus or extra income.

This probably works nicely if you find the right person - someone who has both spending habits that are reasonably similar to yours and when the relationship itself is stable.

But what about situations where:

- one of the people is more frugal than the other, quite possibly with the other person spending money lavishly on wants, not needs?
- the relationship may fall apart (breaking up or divorce), either due to different personalities, life circumstances or other factors?

Personally I think that joint finances are rather risky in all but the more stable and long term relationships.
Wow, I never really looked at Ada code. Been using VHDL for the past 2 years a lot and when I looked at your code I was like: 'huh strange, this looks a lot like VHDL'.

Turns out both were invented by the DoD.

>Due to the Department of Defense requiring as much of the syntax as possible to be based on Ada, in order to avoid re-inventing concepts that had already been thoroughly tested in the development of Ada,[citation needed] VHDL borrows heavily from the Ada programming language in both concept and syntax. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHDL

Maybe I should pick up Ada soon. That could be a fun journey! (I really love writing VHDL)

I'll always back you on that one. I wish I could make every company I've worked for not call me that. I'd accept literally anything else, but I always liked programmer. Developer seems like a fine compromise, I don't see what's wrong with that. It seems to convey building something potentially multi-faceted or sprawling via a variety of different activities plus programming, but when it comes down to it just by any means necessary.
It's required for space exploration. That's what I'm excited about.
Show HN: Commandline tool for protecting data using TouchID+Secure Enclave
Toucli is a tool I made to solve a specific problem on my personal MacBook, where I had to pass in sensitive data like API keys to 3rd party applications on the commandline, but wanted to encrypt those keys on disk and require the physical presence of TouchID to decrypt/access them.

As I state in the readme, for production and office environments a proper external system would be better, but for my single personal machine Toucli solved my problems without needing any external running service.

It was also an excuse to use Swift and Xcode for the first time, which I had wanted to do for some time.
I'm gonna throw you.com (i'm a co-founder) into that mix.

You would be a fool to go to any doctor who has a degree from a random private university in India. So you only go to doctors from reputed govt. colleges like say Maulana Azad or AIIMS where you can't just buy the degree. But here the issue is reservation which is as bad of a problem. So vetting out quota doctors is required here if you want proper treatment. You are saying they all qualify the passing exams on the university? But is there no difference in someone getting barely passing marks to other student getting distinction? I have heard professors giving grace marks to SC/ST students just because they fear being slapped with draconian caste discrimination cases if they fail the undeserving student. If you look at the topmost doctors they are all of unreserved category, now this is not some "racism" but in reality it shows that merit wins in the long run.
I do not wish to interact with my content generator, my ever connected appliance. The content generator craves my decisions but I will not give it what it wants. The less choices that I have to make towards it, the better, because I fear that it will make choices towards hegemony.

My content generator reminds me of what it is like to work in an office - vague, meandering conversations where people try to accomplish something. anything. It distracts me when I want to be distracted. Novel notions jump out at me and capture my attention. I can't bear the hours of silence, the ruminating over the past that my mind will dwell on, copies of music recordings that pushed the zeitgeist in a different time. The content generator drones on banally, occasionally pitching products at me that I have no desire for.

No one will be impressed by the content I've been served, except the content generator - who so desperately wants my attention.
Sometimes an honest and humbling feedback early on can be very helpful even if it sounds cruel. The aspiring world-class rockstar programmer may be in for a bad surprise if he just gets feedback like: "learn, learn, learn, practice, ... and success will come" and then it turns out all differently.

Or maybe it doesn't make a difference at all because people have to experience things themselves.

I think to some degree, what the parent says is true, but I think it has more to do with how much richer parents feel they need to pour into getting 'the best' for their child. Decent preschool and daycare is expensive. Private education is expensive, or test prep to get into good selective private schools. Tertiary education is extremely expensive, more so if you're trying to pad your kid's application with a bunch of expensive extracurriculars to get them into the Ivies and Stanfords and MITs and whatnot.

If anything the Korean system is even more intense; at least with American SATs or ACTs it's only three hours, you can retake them as many times as you want, multiple times a year, and getting into a mid-tier university for undergrad is still okay. South Korea has a university test that is eight hours long, only held once a year (so you wait a whole year to retake results) and the chaebols (the South Korean conglomerates that control the economy, like Samsung or LG) only really hire from top tier universities. South Korea has a university graduate unemployment rate of 25%, compared to the US at 4%.
