I was tongue in cheek. It is not even very useful for off roading except out in very open areas, which it does do okay at, it has a great suspension setup. Too wide to fit on most of the mountain trails here in Colorado, though. And it does fit in a parking spot, if you are very careful, but I generally just park away from other vehicles so no one has to deal with it. I drive smaller vehicles in congested areas. And FWIW a ton of people cycle in my area and I am almost always one of the few people giving cyclists appropriate space out here.

I do at least ponder the moral implications of it. It was fun for a while, I will probably sell it soon, it is rather impractical :)
you are in control of your bike no?

if you die riding something that runs on two minuscule strips of rubber that requires movement to stay in equilibrium and has no protection whatsoever for the rider, that usually don't even protect themselves because "who cares", why should be other people's fault?
Those products predate the purchase of Xamarin and are web products in their latest form. It's not that surprising or telling.
I fit a huge (rotating) baby seat behind the driver on an Opel Corsa without issue. I don't see how it's possible that it wouldn't fit just fine in those cars.
Again, no, not the people putting up the stake.

I am asking about the people with the power to declare that people who put up the stake were dishonest in their validations.
True, my gaming hours are in the thousands. Almost 2.5k right now.
Thanks for sharing your perspective. It's always useful to get a more experienced viewpoint. I agree that managing hardware is not something that should be taken lightly and that only companies at scale can do that and should do that: uber, facebook, dropbox. I'm not pushing for managing your own data-centers, but I'm overall more hopeful that open source gets better and more data engineers learn the craft, it would be cheaper to run things yourself once your Snowflake bill is in the millions per month.
Then I'm reading your silent thoughts ;)

Joke aside, a lot of the pain from email seem to come from its users. I have to deal with a lot of people who refuse to reply to the list, add their reply inside of the quoted previous message (not interleaved - I mean inside the blockquote), reply to old unrelated threads with a new question, fail to use the subject field ("question", "inquiry", "please help"), have a questionable sender identity (From: "work account (new) <ad22@example.org>" - whose work account?).

I am not sure this can easily be fixed by improving either the protocol or user interface.
That's not true. Stakers don't make the rules any more than miners make Bitcoin rules.
Oh funny, I just, inspired by Stable Diffusion, ordered a 3090 ti at what I thought was a good price. Well, I have 30 days to see what happens… There could be an interesting ripple effect if GPUs become more widely available in general. «Simple division yields an estimate of 13.982 million GPUs mining Ethereum on April 16 2021.» (from https://linustechtips.com/topic/1327701-honest-question-how-...)
To run k8s on bare metal server clusters there's only Metallb option to bring user traffic into clusters NodePort services, via externally exposed IP address(es). I wasn't talking about k8s internal load balancers and reverse proxies
Ironic and kind of sad.

It’s nice that normals can get things done, yet there has always been the likes of FileMaker Pro and Visual Basic.

Being cute about the author’s wife’s soft core development is one thing, saying ‘“Real” coding is an elitist myth’” is a bit grotesque.

I’ve developed access control, configuration management, and asynchronous transaction systems. Things no-code still does not quite fulfill.

It’s awesome that more off the shelf open source tools do most of these things for you, where normals can write binding logic or fill in boilerplate wireframes, getting real work done.

Saying elite coding is a myth defecates on the entire development culture that has brought us here!

When I started coding (don’t want to date myself) everyone was talking about klocs to which I, an early Perl coder at the time would sneer that the new leet coder wrote as little as possible to solve the problem.

My generation was raised in the shadow of stories of RMS coding until he couldn’t use his hands… and then had someone else type for him. And everyone was using his code!

“Real” coders (before code commoditization) were often awake for days straight, fueled by over-caffeination grinding out some new platform change.

Elitist “real” coding is really real, that just isn’t what this guy’s wife needs. Try this perspective on a critical embedded platform, time for her and her family will be a myth!
It would probably a very old way of saying browsing internet on phone
I like the related analogy of pre-war steel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-background_steel). Images and text from a bit before now are going to be a lot less contaminated. The Internet Archive will be like those sunken WW1 ships they now make sensitive lab equipment from to avoid the radioactive carbon contamination.

There may be something like compute-on-sensor for cameras being extended to add something like TPM to authenticate original photos with a signature, but even if a scheme like that is possible you'd have the problem of authenticated cameras taking authenticated photos of fake photos. Maybe lightfield cameras could be used, at least if lightfield capture tech outpaces lightfield display.
Facebook/Meta has said it's a bug: https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/24/23319552/facebook-bug-cel...
I've had a bakfiets for 12+ year in France; I did DIY electrification at the time, as that was the only viable alternative then; both kids have been moved around in it since they're born (now my teenager can use our non-cargo e-bike, a RadExpand 5); I've already taxied two (petite) adult women at once in it; I use it as a wheelbarrow under steroids to bring wood pellets from parking spots to my boat's moorings, 7×15kg at a time; it truly replaces a second car, for a tiny fraction of the running expenses.

They were a niche gadget before electrification went mainstream, but today, I really urge you to give it a try by renting one for a couple of days, it makes life more enjoyable in my experience, beyond the money saved.
Pretty common for SUV’s/trucks. Mine is 80l, $100 fill - but it doubles as my house.

You’re mistaken, validators and stakers are one and the same. A 51% attack becomes unbelievably more expensive in a proof of stake system, especially because at the end of it all of your money is burned (whereas with POW you get to keep the GPUs unless they change the algo).
Haha, I've uninstalled Dota many times (I uninstalled it again today).
But the thing is, I end up installing it in a week.

Maybe I won't this time.
What if most of the miners collude to double spend tokens? The problem is the same.

The difference is that proof of work automatically tends to centralisation due to its economy of scale: it's cheaper to add one more miner to your pool if you already have a big mining operation, but staking 1 eth is always staking 1 eth.

Both PoS and PoW have the problem where you can buy out the majority if you have the power to do so.
I'm maintaining a cross-platform headless application at the moment. The frontend is in Java maintained by a different team. Dotnet core works pretty well for Windows/OSX/Linux.

The UI story is .. less encouraging. I'm not sure a UI that's both cross-platform and native-compatible is even possible. Microsoft have a load of offerings none of which anyone is really happy with.

I think the main way of building a cross-platform app in C# is not Xamarin but Unity...
So are these colors accurate? What mineral causes the redish brown color.
Probably legally required to, else the etherscan developers go bye bye
It's a bug, now fixed: https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/24/23319552/facebook-bug-cel...
How so? Buggy features on certain platforms or something else?
Why don't you set it up on databar.ai? Or is it a more complex use case
Work Ethics
Those who saw this possibility beforehand and tried to counsel against what we now see as policy mistakes didn't fare well. They, and others, are more likely to keep quiet for future mistakes. Perhaps we shouldn't have demonized them. Perhaps they weren't all "right wing murderers".
Disagree. Stop mangling language. Open source literally means the source code is freely available. If that's not good enough you need a new phrase.
> You're the kind of driver who makes me want to kick cars off of road

I'm also the kind of driver that when you trip from your bike because you are on death on wheels vehicle, stops and helps you

And when you burn. ared light, brakes

and when you miscalculate a turn and go wide, leaves you room, because I an actually looking around me when I drive, you aren't, because you don't care.

maybe I should stop doing all that, I guess a couple of weeks with a broken leg teach a lot of lessons to people like you.
Interesting context, thank you.
The accepted definition of "open source" includes the ability to modify and redistribute freely. A "non-commercial use" clause limits this
Increase of tear volume in dogs after reunion with owners mediated by oxytocin
It’s likely they could have chosen to stay with Python, C, and C++ and achieved similar results. I’d bet a pretty penny that the fact they were building on lessons learned with the rewrite accounts for almost 100% of the success here.
Honestly I think the biggest problem with crypto is how it has mainly been used either to scam people or to further centralise wealth towards the richest. I have seen very little morally good outcomes of crypto yet, but a vast number of morally bad ones.
This is quite far from true

> but now it is just managed by the big holders

To have any influence during the proof of work days you needed a server farm. This was also restricted to a small elite who could, if they wished, censor transactions.
I really enjoy Adam Savage's tool tips on youtube, and he was just espousing the utility of these bars a few days ago. Apparently he relied on one quite heavily during the filming of mythbusters.

I've never tried this before.
I'm not an organized person, and its difficult for me to stick to plans.
But I'll give it a try, it seems I need to schedule a time slot to work on my personal project, otherwise it'll never happen.
Accounting for Developers, Part II
Microsoft stopped development (more or less) around May 2020 to focus on MAUI, which was released in November 2020.

Actually it wasn’t - MAUI wasn’t released until May 2022, tooling was just released July 2022 for Windows, and VS for Mac with proper support has yet to be released. If you’re used to command line that may not seem like a big deal, but the whole point of the .NET ecosystem is that you have a rich set of tools that saves time and enhances developer productivity.

So as for why Xamarin wasn’t discussed for the last few years, it’s probably because Microsoft put it in a coma for 2 years.

I was hoping MAUI would fix a lot of the quality issues, but like any big rewrite, it seems to have traded one set of problems for another. The developer experience is better, but there are lots of bugs in basic functionality that make it difficult to use. https://github.com/dotnet/maui/labels/t%2Fbug I don’t think Microsoft has enough engineers assigned to this project to make it successful.

If you don’t care about the quality of your app (e.g. your a corporate form developer and don’t care about your users) MAUI is a great choice. But if you don’t care about the UX, web technologies are almost certainly a better choice.

As for native desktop, you’d have to be really stupid to choose WinUI or UWP, unless the point of the app is to be a WinUI or UWP demo. WPF is fine, but then why on earth would you choose that over electron or WebView2, which solves some of the resource problems from pure electron.

All of this is coming from someone whose entire career is built on .NET client technology… I was really hoping (and still hope) for a turnaround. I bet big on Xamarin being the right approach; I still think it is, but Microsoft really dropped the ball since the acquisition.
Another one (that's relatively new) is databar.ai. I am one of the co-founders here though so I'm biased :D
Sidenote, been using pinecone for semantic search recently, and it's been a joyful experience.
> completely deranged individual

That's quite a large exaggeration. I can think of some much much worse things that an actual "completely deranged individual" would do.

Musk was butthurt and lashed out. That does not equal "completely deranged individual"
Also a volunteer firefighter here, if possible (and especially if not during an active structure fire) we try to keep property damage to a minimum. So it maybe that we could cause less damage to the door than breaking the window which is not always a guarantee. But always try (opening) before you pry (it open).

What I Learned Running a Seasonal SaaS Businesses
Once upon a time I consumed content by keeping video files in folders and watching them with VLC. Then I subscribed to Netflix. Now I'm back to keeping files in folders, except now I have Plex to give me the convenience.
Auto giants like BMW, GM and Toyota make drivers ‘subscribe’ for basic features
I've been wondering if we'll see more dev companies use podcasting for marketing.

Most of the dev podcasts I've run across are by practitioners who just do it for fun or to help boost their consulting practice, so it seems like companies with bigger budgets and more access to big name devs might be really well positioned to come up with a good show.

That said, the medium isn't great for some things that devs want (code samples, seeing results, etc.)

That's like recommending cocaine to stop smoking marihuana.
Purchase + install "cold turkey", you can set time blocks to play, or block months out entirely.

I used to game all the time, I now block games for 2-3 months, have a good weekend blow out and repeat.

This has been working pretty well for over a year now, highly reccomend.
I ran Kodi for years, but "always"?

* Kodi only works on my local network. It requires exposing my file shares on whatever VLAN my Kodi devices are on.

* Kodi is a pain to configure. To point it at the aforementioned file shares, I need to copy an XML configuration file, and getting this onto every device is a chicken and egg problem.

* Kodi requires each client to scan and sync the entire library at its CPU and bandwidth limits. My Plex server automatically scans and indexes my media.

* Plex allows me to access my content at the office, while travelling, and to share with friends

* Kodi doesn't transcode, requiring all of my client devices to have enough power and bandwidth to do so locally. Plex makes it much simpler to (for instance) stream a 4k video to a low power device

I know enough to have ran Kodi for years and intentionally switched to Plex full time
Yes, money is important. Leetcode grind is the way to go for short term capital gains.

Thanks for the website, I'll check it out. I can use all the free help I can get.
> If you wanted to keep cyclists safe, you would just stay behind them

if they wanted to be safe, they wouldn't go when cars are allowed to go 90km/h, side by side.

if you are suicidal, I don't wanna be part of your plan.

> Cyclists are doing the best with an infrastructure built in favour of cars,

that's so boring that is gives me nausea

Americans don't understand that they are not the center of the world.

Most of the bikes accidents in.my country happen far away from cities.

Most of those roads are the same that 200 years ago were used only by mules and cows

people didn't complain at the time when they used them with bikes, but complain now that bikes are 100x times better and roads are 100x times easier and safer.

the only "new" infrastructure have been highways in the 60s of the 1900

Viale Trastevere is kinda new in Rome, it was made by Mussolini in the late 1920s

that's the "infrastructure" you're talking about.

It just happens that now the main users of roads are cars, get over it, they won and will keep being the most used vehicle's form factor even after the electric transition.
I too have a 'hobby project' that I have worked on for several years. I must say that my motivations have varied quite a bit over that time. I mainly do it because it is a passion of mine and I love to write great code that does amazing things. But I would also love for the project to actually make some money. I don't really need the money, but money is a great indicator of how other people value your work. Money would also let me buy the extra help that the project needs.

It is a data management system called Didgets https://didgets.com/ and is currently in open beta. The ideas came from decades of experience working with other data management systems that I thought needed drastic improvement. I dug deep into file systems while writing network file system drivers and disk utilities (PartitionMagic and Drive Image). I spent years working with Postgres databases.

I love writing code that does big things faster and uses less resources than traditional systems. I wanted to be able to find a group of files among 100s of millions of files in seconds instead of using long directory traversal methods or the arduous task of creating separate indexes that could become out of sync with the file system. I wanted to query huge DB tables in record time without needing separate indexing structures that can slow down transactions.

So I will stay up until 2am tweaking an algorithm or parallelizing some code so that it runs through a large data set in 2 seconds instead of 20. This keeps me going, but I also wouldn't mind at all if a bunch of other people also found this valuable and decided to pay me something for my hard work.
Most enterprise developers aren’t allowed to know the answers to your questions as none of them fits into a feature rooted in a quarterly OKR. For most enterprises developers it takes a couple of weeks to create a git repo because it requires a service ticket to Devops.
As far as I can tell there's no actual problem, Norway will in general 'win' from this situation. The only problem is the local right-wing parties trying to use this as an excuse to do really stupid things, like build more gas fired electricity plants, and stop electrifying things, and equally preventing the government from doing sensible things to help.

But it's astounding that high prices for oil and gas can be turned into a 'crisis' that the right-wing want to 'solve' by burning even more gas, even in Norway.

Meanwhile the actual 'right-wing' (if you interpret that as being based on sound business and economic principles rather than capture by fossil fuel interests) thing to do would be to sell when the price is high and use the profits to spend on things you need or want.
Ask HN: Does Google employ better software engineers than Apple?
I have both the latest Pixel and iPhone devices here and navigating complex apps are equally fast and multitasking is equally smooth on both. It's quite odd how the iPhone is not faster when benchmarks show it has 70% faster performance in single thread tasks. Does Google attract better software engineers who can squeeze a lot of performance out of less capable hardware?
A compendium of information regarding Stable Diffusion
I really like that this is one of the first Open Source Funding articles that I read that strongly acknowledges that devs create open source for many varied reasons. I have grown tired, as an OSS dev myself, to be bagged into a single category in most other articles and someone speaking for me saying things I might or might not want at all.

Heck, what I want as an OSS dev myself, as well as my personal situation/context, has changed dramatically over the years and I expect will change again in the future, so thank you Plausible for not throwing me into a single-bag and for not speaking for me.

Example: 4 years ago you'd tell me to write OSS part-time for 20k/year and I'd love it, today I'd strongly reject it, in 5 years I expect to do it part time for free again (or maybe not).
Before printing was expensive, so you usually had some established company that could be liable for libel. Now the hosters are exempt (not necessarily the wrong choice), and have millions of publishing members posting stuff rapidly that you could never address with libel lawsuits.

Before people would maybe be talking and rumor slandering all over the place in person instead, but the literate-targeting part of media was operating under some ground rules for debate of at minimum no malicious libel.
None of those products, as apps, predate Xamarin. Outlook for Mobile was an acquisition; Xamarin existed at the time.

Teams Mobile apps are native and built while Xamarin existed; not using Xamarin.
I think it will become centralized, but not in the way that you think. We're likely to see base-layer transaction censorship, since nodes are no longer allowed to disagree with each other (or they'll be slashed), and far more than 33% of staked value is in the USA (and subject to OFAC compliance).

I explained in more detail here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32532604
If ads make money and money is used to build walled gardens which make more ads and money; the unregulated expansion of ads into the daily attention of ordinary people doing ordinary people things, could become a new digital serfdom for those people.

Put another way, if already large companies with existing revenue streams build ad environments that essentially self-generate substantial new revenue, "economic monsters" grow themselves in legal ways without rival. Similar arguments have been made historically over other means of fiat revenue generation, but crucially those who are tasked with oversight and correction, are also benefiting from the new system, and are rationally disincentived to curb or block it.

For extra zing, add "AI" to that formula as you see fit. For extra academic weight, add a few hundred pieces of evidence from the works of Thomas Piketty and Capital in the 21st Century

> but nowadays my work has boiled down to writing unit/integration tests or just fixing bugs. The last major feature that I implemented was 5 months ago.

In that case, stay far away from any Fortune 500 (FANG or otherwise). It takes a LOT of work to move a boulder, and smaller companies are much more agile.

In my personal experience, I find 20-100 person companies to be ideal for giving you freedom to work on the cool things.
Matrix protocol has over 60m publicly addressable accounts, and that's not even including all the EU gov, healthcare, military or emergency services. You can even bridge closed protocol apps like Messenger, WhatsApp, Discord et al to your own Matrix Synapse server and get it all in a single client. Works great. Been using it for over a year, can even send files back and forth to people still on Messenger.
