So in this thread you say it bullying to both invite someone to lunch and not invite someone to lunch.
Consensus in this case has a very specific technical meaning. You're trying to start some kind of philosophical discussion but you're not using the right words.
but also by now many people have done the port and most reported it taking 1-2 hours, with the help of the svelte-migrate tool.
Australia seems especially well suited for long-distance transmission because development is so heavily weighted to the coasts; there's not a lot of existing built-up interior areas to route around. At 800 kilovolts HVDC line losses are only 5% per 2000 km:

When I played Quake 3 and other games on its engine twenty years ago, they didn't have any of that stuff, but people still aimbotted and wallhacked.

Some people just like to cheat for the sake of it.
I have nothing against an educated populace. I have nothing but love for the tax-paying poors who paid for my entire publicly sponsored full ride, or for the cashier wage slave whos inflation/taxes are going towards paying 10k for my wife's high earning professional degree so we can buy a few nicer bottles of wine and a Hawaiian vacation.

Truly, I thank you all! Now get back to work, my kids want the same deal.

> There are a bunch of instances of people paying their bills in full. And, it is those people that are subsiding the non payers such that the provider can stay profitable.

So again, what you're saying is that the charges are high enough that other people paying what they're made to can cover the costs of a 100-to-1 reduction in others' payments.

> This nonprofit is rewarding those that dont take responsibility and are shifting the burden to the struggling working class who are sacrificing to be responsible.

It's amazing how you characterize "people who can't afford their bills" as "those that don't take responsibility", as though the primary reason for people not paying bills is a character flaw of irresponsibility.
I did that too. Though i'm finding it difficult to get a lot of newer content on DVD these days. Ie most new streaming shows.. do they have box sets in your experience? My wife has been looking and so far i think we have .. well, none.

But we have quite a bit of content. Netflix (DVD), ironically, is a good source for this too. .. rules aside, i'm sure.
Do you have any references/documentation for how the IRC side of this setup works?

Great analysis. I’m not so familiar with the AU energy market, so I don’t know how much of an update this result is vs. a reasonable prior.

The bigger simulation mentioned in the OP is the ISP: https://aemo.com.au/energy-systems/major-publications/integr.... Anyone know what that plan proposes in terms of energy mix?

> It is interesting to note that the ISP is predicting that approximately 9GW of peaking gas or liquids will need to be retained in the NEM’s generation mix out to 2050. This is more than the 6.6GW required so far in this study.

Though the OP notes that ISP is doing demand modeling too, instead of simulating a new supply mix for the present demand & supply conditions.
Well said. I hope consumers begin to recognize this and there becomes a trend for 'dumb products'.
ICs are hardware designed by software to run any software for decades.

Article mentions that Hoye says as much but is dismissive of it. I am not sure why he would be so quick to dismiss.
JavaScript Internals: What Happens When You Call Console.log?
No, not at all. Just building more housing and a variety (single family homes, townhomes, etc.) of it (no need for skyscraper condos) and not building highways and focusing on car-first infrastructure at all costs. You don't need any mandates. Things like removing mandatory parking minimums for a building would be an example. No new highway construction would be another.
Perhaps because of trucks, yes---but I've found the majority of car noise is from the tires and not the engines. Most modern ICE cars are exceptionally quiet.
The guidelines specifically ask you not to post like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. It's completely off-topic and, what's worse, repetitive.

It's frustrating not to be able to know the reasons for downvotes, but it's the nature of the beast. Sometimes people think we should require explanations, but you can't change the way people are by demanding they jump through a hoop.

If you see unfairly downvoted comments, give them a corrective upvote (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). Other users will hopefully do that too.

A lot of the time, that happens and then posts like this end up as uncollected garbage in the thread, complaining about something that doesn't exist anymore.
The submitted link auto-scrolls me to the section on Rust, so I guess the submitter wanted to promote that specific section of the article?
They do. Can confirm.
Hm, I could give it a try again, but I think it did not work last time I tried (some years ago).
But the brain is, at most, incidental to any of this. The starting point has to be causality violation, no? If all observed actions are either direct or no-hidden-variable-random consequences of previous states, what room is there for free will?
So really a nothing statement - we have no idea how this system works or what "tickets" actually means.
All modern joysticks (swtich, PS, and Xbox) are made by the same company with similar internal construction. This whole Nintendo is worse than sony, etc is questionable until there's a full characterization of the issue. In my experience, they all experience drift about the same. Until there's competition in the market, I don't see the issue improving. Nintendo certainly isn't going to start developing joysticks internally... Those days are long gone.
This system is fully optical, so the data is filtered before it reaches the camera.
I think in this model it is actually batteries. They pair pretty economically with solar to smooth output on the daily cycle.

They also include existing Hydro in their model, plus 'other' which is what mostly covers the storage on longer scales.

But there's easy answers for the rest too. It's just not modelled in this very simple model because most of the heavy lifting is always going to be solar and wind and that's probably the point they're trying to make.
No, now it's web assembly[1], which is a flavour of assembly code that can run in all modern browsers because those browsers add WASM runtimes. It is as far away from JS as you can get while running in a browser. Even Flash and Java were closer to JS than WASM is.

You can implement a WASM runtime _in_ JavaScript (and people have done this, and it turned out to run so well that in some cases the performance hit was basically irrelevant), but that's because JS is Turing complete and any Turing complete system can emulate any other Turing complete system.

Looks like they used Gas peaker plants (labeled "Other") to make up the difference during the times that was necessary.
I'm also a CPA and develop software now (there are dozens of us!). I think part of this is that the perception among devs is that accounting is too complicated, and therefore can be radically simplified in software, which can be true, but largely doesn't meet real world scenarios. The problem is that accounting is generally complicated because business is complicated. I've seen software that throws away the ability to add more than 2 line items to a transaction. I've also seen software that goes too far the other way and automates every step of a process (okay great, how can we show the auditors now that this works?). It's a pretty classic misunderstanding of the domain, where most CPAs don't speak software, so there's a severe lack of communication (which probably makes CPAs who do understand software very valuable!).

The other factor is that while accounting software as a whole sucks, but at least for larger businesses, its probably better to tell the auditors that you use quickbooks, versus some custom in house software. From a risk management perspective, that's a much easier value proposition for the board/management.
I don't think 1-based arrays are better notation, even completely ignoring that code has to run on a machine.

99% of the times, the correct approach is to use iterators. When you really need indices (and you almost never do), 0 is more practical, because it matches the "including start, not including end" convention.
The official workshop manual from the manufacturer for my car (which includes full engine assembly!) — the same one used by all of its dealer techs - is over 6400 pages. It is loaded with an absurd number of detailed diagrams, torque specifications, required tools, checklists, etc.

Does that make my car less repairable? Or does it provide all the information necessary for someone to correctly perform repair or maintenance, including all required pre- and post- processes related to the affected area?

Distance ain't a choice. Family doesn't live in a single village or city. And no, they're not conveniently close to a train station nor does traveling by train with kids and luggage compete with a car economically and practically.

I really wonder how city-focused one must be to not understand the necessity of regular travels to visit friends and family.
Two benefits to Go:

- Installing 3rd packages such as the docker SDK easier

- Programs are more portable and easier to distribute
All the problems this article are addressed by using Google's own Messages app. Carrier support is not needed, it supports E2E encryption, it's a Google app so it's available on every Android device, etc. You do need a phone number, that is an accurate criticism.

Of course Google's app isn't straight RCS, but it _is_ what everybody actually uses, because RCS failed to gain cross-platform, carrier, and manufacturer acceptance. So Google basically followed Apple's lead and created their own centralized messaging.

So this isn't about "Apple should support the open-standard known as RCS", it's "Apple should natively integrate Google's messaging app".
I know what the technical meaning is, but if you're going to argue for the usefulness of crypto you need to argue why the consensus that crypto achieves is actually useful, instead of just acting as if this is obvious.
JVM is not good for tooling, at least not in comparison to Go or Rust, which are both faster to write, easier to distribute and faster to execute for short lived CLI invocations.
And it's frankly absurd that ASUS/AMD etc won't run a test to see if the board runs under Windows/Linux without stuttering

ATI drivers back then were already in a different league of quality than nVidia ones, looking like amateur hour sometimes

SMM code writers seem to not give a F about any OS except Windows (current version) and even then.

If AMD wants to win the datacenter they need to be extra attentive to this
Similarly I have a monitor at home that, for whatever reason, will stutter on a game in fullscreen UNTIL i go and manually set its refresh rate.

I have to flip it between 59.95Hz and 60 Hz in the windows advanced settings, changing that setting basically makes the monitor re-initialize and then everything is fine. It happens every time I wake the monitor from sleep (ie: my computer rarely, if ever goes to sleep, but the monitors will turn off after 10 minutes of inactivity)

This only really happens with games. DirectX or Vulcan doesnt matter. Doesnt affect things like youtube, plex etc.

But any game in fullscreen or borderless windows on that screen, i have to basically just change that setting back and forth to keep my sanity.
> when we count, we start at 1, we talk about the "1st"

PlanBags Has Retired 1968-2021
As an architect we often deliver full size 24" or 30" long drawing rolls and need an easy way to wrap. Using kraft paper bags is the easiest to store and wrap, and our vendor was a specialist of one item only. They retired and I thought it was cool that they posted links to 2 other vendors.

One of which has posted a reason to use their product:
Finger-Friendly Design
To help reduce paper cuts, our bags feature a sawtooth-shaped trim. The softer edge reduces shear on the bag’s open end. We call it “cutting-edge technology”.

In the past, I'd buy Intel + Nvidia to hope to avoid these sorts of weird troubleshooting cases. This occurred because I had a first-gen AMD Athlon and ran Win2k, where support for Thunderbird CPUs/mobos was not complete, resulting in random crashes that required a mix of BIOS, Windows, and driver updates to completely resolve.

Nowadays, I have no idea if that advice (Intel + Nvidia) is still sound. There are way more AMD users than before, and computers are more complicated than they were 20 years ago.
> yet concluded the article by saying their whole argument was speculative

It's possible to have a speculative argument and also refute other arguments that claim certainty. Pointing out another answer as being wrong does not mean one needs to know the correct answer or claim to have a precise answer.
> here is no a shortage of available energy we have a nuclear fusion reactor in the sky that provides more energy than we could ever use.

We can only capture a small fraction of that energy; limited by land space and efficiency of the capture devices. In fact, we capture so little that we primarily rely upon the sun's energy that fell on past-earth to power our world today.

To take this idea to the next step, even if we could capture and utilize every photon to fall upon our little sphere - given how much of our planet's ecology is based around using that very same energy - we'd destroy that same ecology.

Sure, we might be able to convert CO2 to Oxygen more efficiently than plants, but it would still take energy. Sure, we can heat buildings and individuals, but that would also take energy. We could grow food in labs, but again, energy.

There's a distinct cap on how much energy we can harvest from the sun. Using it to perform useless calculations because you want to work around government controls is wasteful.
In this thread: A million crypto tribalists whatabouting and clutching pearls and absolutely nobody talking about what this is - a pretty cool organizational and technical achievement.

Fantastically well done to the cat herders and cats that we call the Ethereum dev community, this is a prime example of how things can get done not by relying on the profit motive of a large corporation of the interests or a nation-state, but on the genuine belief in the soundness of an idea and a willingness to work together to change the world.
This is pretty outdated.. HVDC has solved most of the transmission problem. Even the typical "3.5% per 1,000km" assumption that shows up on Wikipedia is pretty out of date. Modern projects are built with much lower losses (since they're running much higher voltage) and central Australia with massive solar potential is no more than 2,000KM from anywhere else in the country so generation transmission losses would be more like 5% total...
"AI-designed optical filter blurs out areas of an image that don't match the pre-trained network design" - seems to be a bit more on point.
An assembler spillover into C.
What cards? Bitcoin has not been mined on GPUs for a long time and I would have thought that the ASICs used were already optimal.
node software is pretty bad

but alot of us run custom clients and know there is major room for improvement, with Go-Ethereum being the worst one

this doesn't address what you need to do for the merge

but definitely look into node software thats not written in Go. The rust ones are 10x faster and use 90% less time and space to sync (an archive node) than Go-Ethereum

writing node software doesnt make money so its neglected
But CPU and GPU capabilities aren't sold on a subscription basis (though I know Intel tried something in this direction), and their features don't vanish if/when they are resold.

I could tolerate car "binning", but only if it was burned into the hardware/firmware by the dealer and always transferred along with the physical vehicle.
The experimental directory of `beancount` has some code for converting beancount data structures into SQL structures [1].

You could also take a look at the data structures used by GNU Ledger (e.g. account [2]) and transcribe them to SQL. A bit more work, but probably educational.

It's great they are able to eliminate so much killing and waste! I would be interested in finding out since the hens are biologically male if they more aggressive.

Not a problem in a caged environment but if you were doing free range it would be an issue.

We all know the pedestrian outsider opinions about cryptocurrency, they are repeated ad-nauseam here on HN and everywhere else. Adding informed color to this is a good thing, I would think.
No, you don't need to demonstrate that at all. This could just as easily be a decentralized database for counting the number of jellybeans that exist on pluto and that word would still mean the same thing.
Yeah, Apple could run that post as an ad. It’s sad reading that and realizing that my 90s Debian desktop was _more_ stable.
We needed a tool that gave us the same experience as Heroku but on AWS, so we went with Nullstone (https://nullstone.io). Everything is nicely managed in a style you'll be familiar with and takes advantage of open source Terraform modules they publish.

Is there something wrong with that? That's how supply and demand works.

Also, FAANG aren't the only companies in the world, just like McDonalds isn't the only restaurant.
As a relative newcomer to Rust, I'm curious to hear about those early mistakes
Imagine if during road work they created a "temporarily shared space" between car and foot traffic.

This is still a systemic issue due to poor urban design/planning. The kid was injured because the city didn't properly separate two different modes of transit. Even if it was "temporary"

We could live in a world where treat bike lanes with the respect we treat car lanes and give them proper detours and this wouldn't be an issue.
1. Yield is increasing to 7% - 12% after the merge, as validators will now earn transaction fees, and MEV if configured. This increases it to approx $18k a year.

2. This is assuming 1 ETH = $1650. If the Ethereum price doubles (but still under the ATH), you'd be at $36k a year; not enough for Cali or NYC (perhaps if you own your home?) but certainly fine for cheaper COL states.
And the opportunity cost of the funds used to purchase (er, stake?) the expensive ASIC which loses resale value. Acres of silicon boat anchors.

In PoS you still have the staking tokens.
As Tony Hoare already wrote in the 80s: “There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.”
I'm fine with 0-based, 1-based or anything-based arrays (I recall it being convenient solving 8queen with pascal), but for Rage-Over-A-Lost-Penny sake, music note intervals are always beyond my understanding.

Same pitched notes are called "interval 1" and there goes thirds, fifths, sevenths... All off-by-one in my base-offset-addressing mind... And then major vs. minor which creates all kinds of "aliased addresses"...

I'd really love a BASE-12 floating number representation. Like 4.00 for the middle C; Chords can be then represented by a tuple of such numbers -- major = [+0.04, +0.07] (some sequencers already do something like that and I'm far better at reading that kind of sequencer data than a sheet)
And... so what? Is there a mechanism to punish validators for not being honest on slasher votes?
Inflation is already debt forgiveness.

Since my subsidized loans had interest well below inflation, I decided to pay the absolute minimum possible payment on them for last 9 years. In that time, they have lost 37% of their real value just through inflation alone.

I always felt bad for my friends who insisted on paying off their loans as soon as possible. And now, mine are about to disappear completely for free!
> United States has absolutely shit public options for secondary education. Do you have something against an educated populace?

The necessity of higher education is one of the greatest scams pulled on Americans. This is beating around the bush. The much greater problem is that cheap student loans have created a perverse economy in which a higher education degree (and therefore debt) is required to make money.

The vast majority of the country is powered but what I imagine (since you used "chud" to describe me) as country bumpkins. The VAST, VAST majority of the country's production is done by people plowing farms and welding metal. Are these people not educated? Or does educated mean only a liberal arts degree to you?

> Ah yes, THIS is punishing the middle class -- forgiving their loan debt. Subsidies to farmers? Totally cool. PPP Forgiveness, AWESOME! Defense contracts, great!

This is a strawman not worth answering. I never implied any of those were good either.

> This money is literally going to be piped straight back into the economy at a much needed time

It will not. The M2 money supply showed us that during covid the vast majority of people stashed their wealth. With a potential incoming recession and economic disaster due to policies like this looming over our heads, people of less means will do the logical thing and store cash (making the situation worse).

I really loathe your post and the assumptions it makes about me. Simply careless posting attacking a position you manufactured about me. Arguing in bad faith is worse than not arguing at all.
That's a facile argument because nobody uses RCS. RCS failed to gain acceptance, so Google took RCS and built their own app with centralized servers and that's what everybody actually uses on Android. It's basically the same as iMessage, except it requires a phone number.
Solar can be decentralized, wind less so.

I don't know what wind looks like in Australia but in the US it heavily favors places like the Front Range and the Wyoming Divide: https://california-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com/77/87/8...

EDIT: Looking at the same map for Australia I see that wind power potential tends to be strongest coastally, which matches population density (nice!)

I'll still say that overall you can't expect to decentralize wind like you can with solar.
What GP meant was "Don't buy games with client-side anti-cheat". For any given method of cheating, either it will be detectable from the server, or it won't be detectable even from the client (e.g., <https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/07/cheat-maker-brags-of-...>).
Yeah, people really underestimate how efficient HVDC has become. Even that doc is outdated - it was published in 2015 so likely based on 2013/2014 figures. Modern projects, e.g. ultra HVDC (1100KV) in China are seeing more like 1.5%/1,000KM losses: http://en.people.cn/n3/2018/0622/c90000-9474097.html
