Where education fails is teaching people how to think. What good is access to information if you don't know how to process it? What good is access to facts and data when you cannot define what truth even is? (Your use of the term "contrapositive" tells me you have studied at least a little philosophy... hopefully in the Aristotelian vein.)
You don't need to change the validation rules to double spend.

What you do is this:

- spend btc with a transaction and get it included in the chain.

- start mining blocks starting from before your transaction in secret

- include a trnasaction to a different address in the secret chain

- broadcast the secret chain once it's longer than the "official" one

- since your chain is longer, your chain is now the official one. All the transactions in the other chain are now discarded

I would like to think that we are still able to take things back onto our own hands by making better choices and educating ourselves and shunning for-profit companies.

I, for one, would find it better to not spend my final days at the most profitable nursing home.

Answering your last paragraph: Worst case scenario, it'll probably take a couple of generations of literally living at our parent's house, waiting for the investor class to die out clenching the deeds to all houses and then finally being able to take back the world and start responsibly owning stuff. The cynic in me says that living at one's parents would be outlawed by political cronies.
It's not about feeding people with a degree. It's about reducing the punishment they had but shouldn't have. Ideally, higher education wouldn't cost extra, or at least not excessively so. But since it does, these efforts are to counteract that existing punishment, nothing more or less.
You should check out taichi: https://github.com/taichi-dev/taichi They have a ton of great demos for doing physics but check out this example in particular for something related to your project: https://github.com/taichi-dev/quantaichi#game-of-life-gol.

I think that the coinages are mostly reasonable. Finance/accounting have a thick lexicon. So does computer science. So does devops. And those lexicons are all mostly non-overlapping. Granted the crypto lexicon is a lot more playful/childish. Stuff like "HODL" is just shibboleth but that's a minority of the jargon. The stuff that grinds me is when crypto totally redefines a word and doesn't realize it or expects everyone to follow along. "Inflationary" in crypto-speak has only a passing resemblance to the concept by the same name in economics.
Off-topic, but I recall from 22 years ago my 11th grade English teacher talking about a 16-17th century English poet/author who basically sword-fought his way out of Paris to escape back to England.

The selling point of iterators isn’t that they replace for loops, it’s that you can make new iterators by implementing a trait. That at way downstream users can use your iterators in a for loop. Of course you also can use a more functional style if you like.

try braking suddenly on a bike when a pedestrian walks in your way. and either you will get thrown forward or you will not break in time. I would argue that bikes make it more hazardous to the user to suddenly brake.

> You can simulate noSQL with graph and RDBMS tools - but, again, you shouldn't

What is the feature which makes the noSQL which you shouldn't do in a relational database? To me noSQL always looks like a subset of relational database. The only thing, maybe, is that you can truly put everything in, but with modern JSON features and all the other things I don't see a downside in using relational. (Except a little learning curve, while that can be hidden behind some ORM or something if you really want for the beginning)
I understood this.

But there's been a general backlash on the internet the past few years about giant pools of money like Blackrock buying up housing supply. I don't think it's that different from your typical "mom and pop" real estate investor buying up homes to rent out. Ultimately, much of Blackrock's funds are held by regular mom-and-pop investors.
Sorry, but it is the other way around. "Open Source" hijacked the common phrase "open source". You don't get to say people can't use standard English because you've decided a certain phrase holds special meaning.

Anyone familiar with english but unfamiliar with the Open Source concept would just think that open source is "source code available", not that there are all these other constraints applied to it as well.

> At some point, we really need to start recognizing big tech's in-kind political contributions as political contributions

That’s already the case. Ad inventory (and staff time) that’s donated to US campaigns which are subject to campaign finance disclosure laws must be, and is, reported. You’ll see it on FEC and state public disclosure contributions.

It doesn’t have much to do with this article, though, which isn’t about campaigns.
At the end of the day, zoning should be mostly illegal, except for egregious abuses of public externalities, or industries with major externalities (and even then it should be handled as a special process). Zoning is a terrible infringement upon property rights.

EDIT: also most gov't regulations should be illegal and we should have a severe reigning in of government in these cases. All of a sudden it seems like more 'progressive' people have woken up to the dangers of overregulation, which is great, but it's a bit too little too late, and no one actually votes for it when push comes to shove I've noticed.

Sure, why wouldn't it be? As far as a cache is concerned, I don't think reverse sequential iteration would be any different than forward sequential. The actual RAM accesses may be less optimal if there's some speculative pre-fetching with assumed forward sequential access, but that's conjecture.
How would you get to CO2 neutrality if degrowth is going to be the strategy? If you go back to the world of 50 years ago, you reduce emissions but you don't solve the problem, and you make it impossible to go to an entirely carbon neutral economy since you won't be able to produce the required tech anymore. Unless the plan is to actually go back to a preindustrial lifestyle.

Massive investment in renewables at least is a theoretically possible strategy for going to carbon neutrality without a total destruction of people's quality of life.

You're right about electric cars et al being energy intensive to produce right now, but this gets better and better with increasing electrification and CO2 reduction in power generation.
There is a significant warning about the use of WAL mode, very plain in the documentation:

"Transactions involving multiple attached databases are atomic, assuming that the main database is not ":memory:" and the journal_mode is not WAL. If the main database is ":memory:" or if the journal_mode is WAL, then transactions continue to be atomic within each individual database file. But if the host computer crashes in the middle of a COMMIT where two or more database files are updated, some of those files might get the changes where others might not."

https://sqlite.org/lang_attach.html

Systems designed for DML against multiple database files should eschew WAL mode.
It also seems like a good candidate for sting operations. Put expensive bikes out with flimsy locks in places with high rates of theft and have undercover officers watch them. When they're stolen, either arrest the thieves immediately or follow them for awhile to figure out who they're working for.
It matters whenever you need to process a proper subrange of an array, and that shouldn’t be different from when the subrange happens to be the whole range. It’s simpler if the same convention is used in all cases.

E.g. in Java, a typical example is that OutputStream has the following two methods, where the first can delegate to the second, and the second (which write the specified subrange of the array) can easily calculate the number of bytes to write:

int write(byte[] bytes)
{
return write(bytes, 0, bytes.length);
}

int write(byte[] bytes, int start, int end)
{
int length = end - start;
...
}

Modern flat lithium batteries are fairly hazardous and Apple is very conservative in their approach to handing them.

Chromium isn't just gratis software ("free" has a different meaning), it's open source software. There is no implicit expectation that downstream users can't change it any way want[1] and redistribute the result, that's the whole point of the open source license that Chromium is released under.

risiOS hosts a searx instance for its users and configures it as the default search engine.

I worry about the sustainability of such a service though. Don’t they inevitably get blocked upstream?

It might work better for more local organizations to host such projects. I’ve always liked the idea of community centers and churches and whatnot hosting shared services for their community.

Except 1-based indexing is what we use in normal language. We don't use "zeroeth" or "player (number) zero" etc. And the word "first" is shortened to 1st etc.
Personally I think we'd be better off if programming languages stuck to the same convention - off-by-1 errors aren't the hardest problems to deal with but they're still annoying.

It is slightly different - this runs an unmodified GPU driver in the guest (no para-virtualization) and in our observations our performance is close to native which I believe is a fair improvement over the overhead of Virgl. Also there's availability of more APIs - for example DirectX, Vulkan, and OpenGL work with GVM guests. I don't think all of those work with Virgl. We make use of various different assistance modes (either hardware or software I/O virtualization/resource sharing) via VFIO-Mdev (VFIO Mediated Device), or via SR-IOV (Single Root IO Virtualization), or SIOV (Scalable IO Virtualization).

I made this web page to try consolidate some information from various folks who have contributed a lot in this area of open source to show how it works (there are some novel additions we've made as well based on our own work with GVM):

Can you please just not post like this? We're trying for a different kind of forum. I know it feels justified, and I'm sure it is, but the problem is the 'other' side always has its legitimate justifications too, and then everyone goes after each other and there's no more curious exchange.
Probably that Zionist Israel's longtime allies are also reporting the virus in their countries. Many theorize the Rothschilds still run things, via the WEF and other NGOs and that Zionists in Israel were behind COVID-19 and are the real movers and shakers. At least it sounds like it's following the lines of this conspiracy / theory to me.

I think the intent of saying "you've always been writing Go" was along the lines of "you can write FORTRAN in any language." E.g, implying that you are not making use of Python's abstractions, but writing it in the same procedural style you would write Go (or C) code in.
Amsterdam is not representative of Dutch bicycle culture. Amsterdam is crowded with narrow bicycle lanes that are often shared with cars.

The great thing about the Dutch bicycle structure is that it spans the entire country. It's not just the big cities. Every city, town and village has high quality bicycle lanes. You can easily bike around the country on dedicated bicycle routes in The Netherlands.
I'd agree so why did languages that allow specifying the base die (other than maybe VBA).
Concentrations of religious people, probably.
If they're not using the bike lane, that's almost certainly because it's unsafe in some way that you're totally overlooking. No cyclist wants to be on the same road as cars.

I don't think you should be talking about things you don't know or understand.
Zero-based indexing is always wrong; an ordered collection of things does not have a zeroth thing.

Sometimes you have a data structure called an "array", which means "a bunch of things that are the same size next to each other in memory". You can store the address of the whole array as the address of its first element, and offset into it by an offset; clearly, the offset of the first element is zero, but it's not the "zeroth" element.

And finally, sometimes you have cargo cult behavior by people who think that the way offsets into arrays work is because "numbering starts at zero in computers!" or some similarly wrong rationalization. This is when you get stupid things like (nth 0 list) in a lisp.
The cable days bordered on a dystopian nightmare. Channel flipping, appointment viewing, endless ads. Most content was inaccessible most of the time. Miss an episode? Tough shit.

The only people that ever seemed to like that grotesque relationship with TV were the Boomers.
Herd immunity for sars-cov-2 may have become impossible in highly vaccinated regions due to maladaptive immune response.

Yes, I'm sure that's a thing too.
Note, this is vaccine-derived polio. This is when the oral polio vaccine (which uses a live poliovirus) mutates and reverts to a more virulent form. This version of the polio vaccine is rather outdated, and in fact a new one with much better genetic stability is already being produced. https://polioeradication.org/nopv2/

We really need to switch away from the old vaccine ASAP.
From my understanding - there are two main “strains” for polio; one that is “wild”; endemic to Afghanistan and Pakistan, and one derived from the oral vaccine, endemic in Africa and a lot of conflict zones, from Asia to
Europe to Central / Southern Americas.

The oral vaccine in use in a lot of the world contains a weakened version of the virus, and allows your body to fight it off without any negative effects. This is usually a 3 or 4 course vaccine.

This specifically engineered weakened virus has been shown to mutate and infect other partially or non vaccinated individuals, including causing paralysis, and is the one now popping up in more developed / inoculated areas - but again, in unvaccinated individuals.

Note - from what I have read, you can still get and spread polio even if you are vaccinated (much like Covid), but it’s an incredibly low chance - and furthermore, your risk of serious disease / paralysis / death is even lower (so we know the vaccines work). The oral vaccine (weakened virus) efficacy is much higher than the injected (inactive virus) vaccine too, and boosters are offered for those who had the vaccines as children and are now adults.

There is also another oral vaccine, with a weakened virus, that has been engineered to prevent certain mutations that cause it to spread (if I read some articles correctly), but is not currently approved for use in the US / UK.

Polio was one of the first few horrible diseases almost eradicated by vaccines. Whatever your stance on getting vaccinated, do understand that Polio has a 1 in 200 chance of resulting in severe symptoms and paralysis, and there is no treatment for it - only prevention via inoculation. It is not like Covid where mostly the older, more immunocompromised suffer - it will ravage children and healthy adults too.

I remember I learned this on a "Not Just Bikes" YouTube video, but I can't find it now, but it blew my mind how simple intentional things make a huge difference. It was about the car lane, curb, and where people bike/walk in the Netherlands.

In most countries, the car lane is lower than the sidewalk, and when they have to turn, the lane doesn't change - no bumps, or elevation. A pedestrian / cyclist going from their space into the car lane has to usually face a down slope, so it's very clear the person is entering another area.

In at least this Netherlands city or video I watched, Not Just Bikes talked about how over there the car goes into ascent, as in, the car is entering the bicycle space. So it's not as smooth, or convenient, or the same mental model as the other way.

I think the voluntarily (EDIT: polio) unvaccinated are misled or idiots, but this is a bad comparison. Non-consensual sex is violence. Full stop. We can start arguing that giving people an infectious disease is like violence, or this or that, mais ceci n'est pas une pipe.

What it is analogous to is getting "stranded after driving around barricades to enter a flooded stretch of roadway" [1].

OSI muddies the waters by accepting AGPL as an open source license. As argued many times, it is really a EULA, not a proper license in the sense that GPL or BSD or MIT are software licenses.
I agree that the distinction is meaningful, but I suppose I disagree that it is safe to assume that everyone on HN has the same outlook towards the issue — we are not all developers, nor are we all involved in Open Source proper, nor do we all have the same background. In other words: we are not all marine biologists from the same school, I don't think.

It's crossing into personal attack to imply that someone doesn't understand "the concept of humor" (or any other common concept). You went way beyond the information in the GP comment to step into that territory, and then you doubled down ("If isn't inherently obvious to you already").

Besides that, you don't need to go on about someone's putative lack of understanding in order to make your substantive points.
