Twitter says thread does not exist. Pity.
>With PoS, although governments can’t print tokens, it doesn’t really matter. The governments and central banks have unlimited money.

so they pump eth price to infinity to get majority of stake? While in theory it could work, it would cost at least hundreds of billions of dollars. Compared to maybe $1B-$2B to take over PoW from nothing. Two orders of magnitude difference.

As nobody needs a blockchain with censorship everyone else would move to a fork without the governmental stake. A very foolish plan.
Tell me, how would you respond to a fanatical preacher telling you to go read the scriptures?

Would you do it? Would you call him outright insane? Would you dismiss him and move on?

Genuine question, I am honestly curious.
Your belief is that before the internet nobody ever got fired for something they said?
A good chunk of that goes to actor pay. For instance, in the $200m budgeted Gray Man, Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans took home $20m each. Even net those two salaries, Gray Man was twice the budget of RRR and visually pales in comparison to it. Huge budgets mean nothing.
Thanks, that’s insightful. What’s an example of one of these banks?

> Unix was the first operating system written by programmers for programmers

This is of course far from true; CTSS and especially ITS (which was so programmer friendly that rather than what is called today a “shell”, it’s user interface was a debugger) long predated it and both Thompson and Ritchie were exposed to them while at MIT to work on Multics. The supreme programming environments for programmers, the MIT Lispms and the D-machines at PARC are the ultimate in programmer-friendly OSes that are, for various important reasons, unmatched today.

Also, in their early papers about Unix they talked about how they didn’t need all that fancy stuff that mainframe systems like Multics needed, like VM and IO modules (Unix just does everything through the kernel in a simple fashion). Well, it was for a small computer system. There were good reasons that mainframes were structured the way they were and by the mid 80s that model started migrating to workstations (e.g. Britton-Lee accelerator and graphics subsystems) and by the 90s that model was already quite common in microcomputers too (for example with mpus in disk controllers and network interfaces).

But the Unix cultists ignored that revolution. They came late to the party with regards to networking; even when developing the sockets interface they relied heavily on the PDP-10 approach, but seemingly didn’t learn anything else from that.

Glad they are finally noticing that the world has changed.
I'm pretty sure this happens to most people. Based on what? Nothing but intuition honestly. Perhaps your wife isn't as interested in metathinking.

The brain (mine anyways) is constantly coming up with new solutions and occasionally recalls irrelevant things in its search for answers...
yes what I mean was mixing stable diffusion into the UI styling without the fine atomic details. Like say I want a dashboard with color themes from cyberpunk complete with graphics/art/logo. It would be a "good enough" category if something can literally be told to produce a complete frontend.

Things changed with internet, there was never a true free speech for everyone before internet period, you had gatekeepers of what could be said in newspapers and TV that filtered content that didn't conform to norms/standards. Now you have total free speech, anyone, anywhere in the world can say whatever they want and we have social platforms to broadcast it to the rest of the world, which use algorithms that automatically make the most radical views to be promoted the most because they are the most engaging, and suddenly people do not like that kind of freedom anymore.
You have less CSS than HN, and hardly any JS. This doesn't add anything to the discussion of if this is easy or hard to do – your site will always have a fast FCP, even if you weren't serving with a CDN.

Note also that the parent commenter mentioned being logged in to HN. You're serving a static page, which will always be fast. There are many aspects of HN's site that cannot be cached for logged in users, which will mean a higher TTFB.

> If you are lazy loading images

> sub second render on first load even though its image heavy

Images are not render blocking, and so won't be a part of this discussion. (Nor would I consider 1MB of mostly SVGs to be "image heavy")

Your site actually has room for improvement on performance. You could likely cut your overall page weight in half (not that it would do much, being default fast).
That's quite a comment. It creates a false dichotomy between freedom of speech and democratic society, and uses the word "survive" to appeal to emotions so we want to save democracy from the evil freedom. Then it attaches "right wing extremists" (the absolute evil) to the freedom of speech, suggesting that anyone who is for freedom must be an extremist. The last sentence is a blunder, though, because it suggests that voting for democrats requires low cognitive ability. One thing I'm sure about is that we don't need low-effort populists on HN.
Facing the wind is based on the drag force on the entire machine, which is tethered under water by a cable to a pivot; something like how a kite moves around as wind changes.

But what's the difference between this type syntax on the tape and the number 2 on the tape, which is presumably something other than "just syntax"?

This gets especially confusing when you bring in dispatch, where the types are now deciding what functions get called.
You could use AWS batch. It is like lambda but for more resource intensive uses.
I remember as part of the AWS certification exams this use was explicitly mentioned.

You can trigger it from an s3 upload, for example.

Nothing stops you from layering BEM on top of tailwind via @apply - although I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Maybe if creating a full, custom, design-system using tailwind?
Great points!

For what it's worth, I'm at root a consequentialist, but see virtue framings as cognitively much more tractable given both the weird feedback loops of one's own psychology and the immense computational cost of trying to predict consequences over coming decades.
In psychology, I think Culture of Honor is absolutely stellar:

Culture of Honor: The Psychology of Violence in the South by Richard E. Nisbett & Dov Cohen

https://www.amazon.com/Culture-Honor-Psychology-Violence-Dir...

The authors weave together a basically airtight argument for their thesis, drawing on historical, sociological, and experimental evidence to describe and explain the phenomenon called "culture of honor". It's a short book and really worth reading to see how well an argument can be made.
> Running the database in the same process as the application server, using SQLite, is getting more popular with the rise of Litestream.

As someone who uses SQLite a lot, I'm suspicious of this claim. Litestream is strictly a backup tool, or, as its author puts it, disaster recovery tool. It gives you a bit more peace of mind than good old periodic snapshots, but it does not give you actual usable replication,* so I doubt it meaningfully increased SQLite adoption in the RDBMS space (compared to the application data format space where it has always done well).

* There was a live read replica beta which has since been dropped. Author did mention a separate tool they're working on which will include live replication. https://github.com/benbjohnson/litestream/issues/8#issuecomm...
There has to be some reason behind protesting or we end up wasting resources arresting everyone and trying to fight over who gets to protest in prime space at prime time.

I find that old.reddit.com is ok on desktop (with uBlock origin), and for mobile there's several third party apps that make for a better experience than a website. I personally like "Relay for reddit".
Are there any phones that average readings from GPS, GLONASS, and GALILEO together for better accuracy?
its a plus and a minus.

Verifiably open source packages are a net positive to security because it ensures the code running is the same code that has the public's eye on it.

People keep forgetting this, because they spend most their time thinking about security in the terms of a enterprise system, but for a personal usecase, an app extracting data to their servers that i was not expecting is a info leak security breach.

Its just that acknowledging that fact requires treating most operating systems (ubuntu, (but not debian) android, and ios included) as malware and this is a uncomfortable position.
I think this line of reasoning, while technically valid, is also what's being used to pervert the idea of freedom of speech. The idea behind the first amendment was that the government was the only entity which could realistically stop someone from saying something without running afoul of other existing legal frameworks when most public discourse was via literal town squares, so by limiting the government's ability to persecute speech, a more free 'market' of ideas could be encouraged.

These days a lot of public discourse is online and increasingly so. The argument that companies being forced to host ideas they disagree with can be construed as a free speech issue is reasonable (although not entirely convincing, as we clearly do find utility companies to be providing a service so essential that they can't arbitrarily refuse service), but equally there is the problem that the vagueness of the matter is being abused by small groups of people, thus not really leaving it as a free 'market' of ideas.

Nowadays a small group of people can do a ton of damage to someone simply by harassing the companies (and the clients of those companies) they rely on, taking it all the way to even getting bank accounts closed or cutting off payment processors. One can imagine that if water and electricity weren't classified as utilities they'd even go after those. Thus, some balance is needed because while it's technically possible to live without banking or to have a business without a (well known) payment processor, it's clearly an increasingly unreasonable limitation to be able to be imposed on anyone without a legal process.

Beyond that there's the point that social media companies often act as per the government's "suggestions", thus technically not violating the first amendment despite not really being in its spirit either. Facebook and/or Twitter doesn't legally have to do X when government hints at wanting it but if they don't they might happen to find themselves brought in front of Congress for a hearing about Y or facing regulation/investigation.
maddy.email could be a good addition
It’s definitely possible. But iOS deprecated APIs, iirc, it doesn’t just delete them. (At least that’s what I remember from iOS dev four years ago.)

I conjecture that the bank didn’t bother to test the app on a new version of iOS until this week, found a major bug, and knew they couldn’t fix it fast enough.

But they could have tested three months ago when the beta came out, and any major issues (like using an old API) probably would have occurred then.
Why can't people worship Hitler? Even those who refuse to say negative things about the last president of the USA are labelled fascist by the current president... but worshipping Stalin and the Kims is beyond reproach?

No, facts are facts. Stalin was a monster, as were Hitler, Mao and Pol Pot and - in a slightly lower category - Franco, Castro and Chavez and dozens of other tin-pot dictators from all winds and all political directions. Maybe the local populace adored them but that is besides the point given what we know - what you know as well.

> what happens in many other countries that do much more harm to their inhabitants, and/or to those from other countries, than NK

Let's have some examples of those countries and in which way they do much more harm to their inhabitants than North Korea.

Now back to what started this discussion: where does Elisabeth II stand in comparison to all those mentioned crooks? As far as I know she did not personally oversee any atrocities like those of Lenin/Stalin/Hitler/Mao/Pol Pot/etc.? The British Empire does have a bloody history but so does the rest of the world. Those who were conquered by the British conquered others before them and were often conquered after the British left. The British themselves were conquered by the Romans, the Vikings, the Normans, Bretons, Flemish, and French under the Duke of Normandy. The Germans tried but failed, the Soviets would have liked to but never got that far. The Indian subcontinent was conquered by the Mughals who set up a far more bloody rule than the British did. Genghis Khan killed about 11% of the world's population. Et ce te ra, humans are a warlike species. When Elisabeth II came to the throne the British Empire was winding down, decolonisation continued under her rule until all that was left is the British Overseas Territories.

Yep. OS vendors dropped the ball on distribution, browsers picked up the slack. But browsers also dropped the ball in a lot of ways. E.g. browsers do a lot of useful stuff but none of that is available for servers or CLI apps. There's lots of scope to do better. Also, on the desktop you have POSIX or POSIX-ish features at least :)

BTW, Conveyor is free for open source projects, and currently free for commercial too. The current versions focus on solving the basics really well. Deployment/update is like for a website statically generated from Markdown. You can build fully signed-or-self-signed and self-updating packages from cross-platform artifacts on whatever OS you happen to use with one command. So, you can package up Electron and JVM apps given just inputs like JS or JAR files, from your dev laptop or Linux CI box, and you get packages for every OS. You also get a simple download HTML page that detects the user's OS and CPU.

To do a new release you just re-build and re-upload the site. Clients will start updating immediately. On macOS it uses Sparkle, on Windows the OS will do the updates in the background and Linux users get packages.

It does native apps too but then of course you need to compile the binaries for each OS yourself.

One possibility we're researching is to page code in from the database on demand. That way you only have to push updates to the client occasionally, like when refreshing the core runtimes. For changing business logic the client would use SQL queries to speculatively load code based on what other clients have been requesting. If it works it means you can get rid of minification, bundling, all the other hacks web devs do to reduce requests and round-tripping, whilst keeping the "instant" deployment browsers give you.
Sorry, I'm not seeing the relevance to my points. Are you sure you meant to reply to me?
The thing is not doing it in secret. The thing is doing it without accountability. They are not accountable because the law does not apply to them.

Something similar happens with unelected commissions and bureaus.
Who cares who does it? Well, ermmm, the entire legal construct of free speech cares?

Weird. I think of AARP as a political lobbying group - a strange requirement for a phone discount for AT&T. I guess they get payola from AARP?
Winner winner, chicken dinner. It's obvious that at a certain scale you shouldn't have as much license to censor, as you effectively become the public square.

> GPS was never designed to be mm level accurate

Kind of. Consumer/public GPS was never to be that accurate. Galileo for example, has the following accuracy: 1 metre (public), 1 cm (encrypted)

I'm sure the same applies to other systems too.
Operation Northwoods only became public knowledge about 3 decades after JFK rejected it. If he had approved it, we might never have heard of it. There is no way to be sure what nefarious shit they're up to today that we might not hear about until the 2050s if ever.
Congress has delegated the authority for the president to ban a random technology? Citation needed.

I’m not sure why you feel the author is trying to use vietnam to lend weight to his argument. He’s merely pointing to the absurdity of the sentence.

I’ve noticed that people who claim not to care what other people think are paradoxically desperate to make sure everyone knows they don’t care.
just to play devil’s advocate, I would imagine it could and will be argued that this system is broken by being too much at the mercy of the competence of the regulator. if national police need to tap someone’s phone now or lives may be lost, and the regulator drags their feet/is understaffed/has an inefficient workflow, that is an issue

personally, I support the ‘ex ante’ approach, but - especially for the all-too-common kind of free-market ideologues that despise government regulation and have no trust in the competence of public organisation whatsoever - shoot first, ask questions later is hard to argue against
> there is a question what the upvoters on HN see in this

There's a cadre of HN LSD-microdosers that probably see a lot of things.
AppCompat, AndroidX, and their other library projects have basically made SDK concerns something you rarely have to think about at this point. Usually the only thing you need to consider are security concerns that newer versions force on you, like updated, new or more finely grained permissions. Everything else pretty much just works. My current teams app supports all the way back to API 23, and has only needed to drop support for older versions a couple times for security reasons.

It all works so well with older versions now that on an evaluation from the mobile teams of the new UI frameworks Jetpack Compose and Swift UI, we decided fully in support of Jetpack Compose because it worked very well out of the box with older versions and was getting tons of updates.

We decided against Swift UI since it was tied to the iOS version, and although most people who can update their phone do, significant numbers of users it seems don't immediately buy new iPhones anymore when they don't get updates anymore. As much as the dev experience would have been improved using the latest Swift UI on latest, the lowest version we support is stuck with one of the terrible first iterations. For something like UI, it just wasn't worth losing so many users.
Rightfully considered a classic in the field, and its third edition was highly anticipated for many years.

This book's niche is in building the intuitive understanding that is often lacking after the typically highly mathematical treatment seen in 200-level circuit theory courses. It's a great transition from "ok, I can manipulate the equations for a circuit with one or two transistors" to being able to design complete, practical electronic devices. The book is also heavily used as a cookbook and reference by practicing electronics engineers as it contains a lot of expert wisdom particularly in the area of high-precision analog circuits (the authors' background is in physics lab instrumentation design).
That would require calibration (this is the layout of the store, the receiver is here, reflections can occur here and so on) while a GPS system would allow owners to just connect to a centralized app and bam, here is where all your visitors walked for the last 3 months.
I use one VM per component. The overhead is pretty minimal and VMs I think are still more secure than containers. Maybe I am just a tech dinosaur though. I run my VMs on OpenStack for the networking flexibility, and use Ceph for block and file system.
X-Trans has a color sampling pattern of 3x3 pixels instead of 2x2 for bayer. This means that color for X-Trans is sampled from a 50% larger area, which 1) reduces noise 2) makes noise look slightly "better" than bayer noise (according to many including me).

It also has a downside in that it reduces fine detail somewhat compared to Bayer. In practical terms it also has a downside in being less supported by software, maybe because raw processing software developers consider it a big pain. ;)

I'm happy they made X-trans also for the 40mpx, it should improve the details (which is a weak spot due to the 3x3) significantly and still maintain the benefits of a 50% larger color sampling area.
