As I replied every previous story like this:

Can you elaborate how crypto solves this issue in an optimal way?

1. You can store cash, if you choose to. Way way way easier than Crypto. This should be the end of this argument but let's continue.

2. Can average citizen safely and reliably store crypto on their own anywhere nearly as easily and safely as cash? Otherwise, you're just at mercy of unregulated "exchanges" as opposed to "banks" and your power is even lower and the horror news stories even more plentiful.

3. Ultimately, crypto is a complicated technological stack that (and we will have a difference of opinions) government, if it sufficiently chooses to, can shut down and control. Crypto introduces a mind boggling chain of technical dependencies and gotchas and risks and dangers, which are super fun for us on HN to play with and argue about, but are a pit of snakes and spikes for most regular people (and just because somebody somewhere who's not technologically adept has used crypto successfully, that does not mean they were not exposed to massive risk; you can play Russian roulette and "win", it does not make it a good idea)
> parents paying for private schools seem to be willing to pay that for their children

Exactly—people aren't willing to pay for someone else's education, but everyone needs an education, so teachers who care enough that they are willing to teach for minuscule pay wind up squeezed between societal apathy and societal need.
Most developers working on products, not just at FAANG, can be replaced but it's very costly.

You need to find a developer in the specific niche he was competent. Not easy because there is a shortage of developers. Then he needs to get up to speed with the stack and the processes used in the company.

So in theory yes, engineers can be replaced. In practice it's costly, with no guarantee of getting the same productivity, and the process to find someone will leave you with one person less for many months. When you have competent engineers that you want to keep, the last thing to do is to play the "I don't need you anyway" card.
Netbeans team made one very good decision way back that IntelliJ still comes nowehere near to competing with: Integration with the underlying build system (Ant/Mvn/Gradle). IJ frequently gets itself into some weird state where it becomes uncoupled (unhinged?) from the Maven POM and has to be manually synchronised. Netbeans essentially does not have any independent notion of dependencies or build system, so there's never a sync question.

This also means that NB is infinitely better at handling/managing Maven sub-projects/modules, where IJ is pretty much always lost and blundering about in the wilderness.

All that said, I do believe that the Netbeans project has more-or-less lost the plot. They're spending so much time and energy trying to provide a language-server thing for VSCode that their own project is falling further and further behind the curve.
I use Advent of Code every year to improve my understanding/facility with some language that isn't a strength of mine. The benefit of doing that is that it's well-paced and interesting to me. The downside is that at least 35% of AoC is algorithmic and once you discover the "trick", redoing that AoC puzzle in a new language is less interesting (though it will still drive understanding of the new language).

If you wanted smaller exercises, you could take some of the leetcode exercises and grind through them on your own (outside of the leetcode framework if your language isn't represented there; if it is represented there, the Leetcode easy and medium are pretty good and there's loads of them).
Black Isle is another great example. Interplay was going under and selling off any IP of value to get some cash out of the end of the road. The staff, seeing the writing on the wall, quit more or less en masse and started Obsidian together. The name is even a bit of a pun- Obsidian, a black volcanic glass, is what you might expect a Black Isle to be made from.
It's the wide tire contact patch and not the big rims that are causing most of the problems you describe. This is typically papered over with tons of steering assist and geometry that favors minimal feedback in order to alleviate the propensity of wide tires to be greatly impacted by changes in road shape. This steering solution feels numb and disconnected from the road which is a common complaint with modern cars. The wide tires that are at the root of the problem are a key element of modern car performance so they're not going anywhere.

Additionally, if you move the wheel surface far enough from the center of the tire you can get more room for wheel bearing and axle shaft hardware without increasing the size of the wheel bolt circle and bore though this isn't a big consideration in a lot of applications as there is ample space either way.

Seeing the Arabic script and knowing the technology behind it that makes it possible to render is one of those rare "wow" moments for me.
Discord is slowly rolling out a premium service, and I think that will be a HUGE blow to Patreon. Creators already put Discord rewards into their Patreons, they already have Discord servers, their fans are already in Discord, having the payment processing go through Discord just streamlines the process; plus, a lot of people will have CC details saved in Discord due to Nitro.

Right now afaik it's only available for select partnered creators, but I hope the end goal is to make it available for any server that wants it, and truly compete with Patreon that way. We will certainly accept pledges that way. It'll be a huge hassle cos no one will want to cancel Patreon so creators will have to do updates in two places etc but I imagine most people will want to move to Discord.
it is a gradient of ownership

do i own the house i bought? well, yes as long i keep paying property taxes.

what is ownership really and how much more/less does one own crypto vs. money in bank. is it quantity dependent? is it time sensitive?

there are no certainties in life, besides death and taxes.
Revolut has applied for a UK banking license (PRA and FCA authorisations), but they seem to be encountering difficulties and delays in having them granted.

Revolut's links to Russia are, perhaps, not helping with that.
My rule of thumb for privacy as a founder and a voter: If you’ve created an online product, or are a interacting with people in any kind of life-critical capacity (doctor, lawyer, landlord, electrician, financial professional, life partner, politician, you name it, etc), you WILL have a very broad swath of clients and some may anger with you due to no fault of your own and try to hurt you in different ways (from murder attempts to scammers). After seeing several friends in different capacity getting attacked for completely unrelated cases, my rule of thumb for privacy is - if a stranger wants to physically hurt you or loved ones, how easy would it be for them to find you and get to you or them. If you are behaving illegally, the law can reach more information and they should, but it should not be so easy for a deranged foe. Privacy is life-saving in that case and it needs to be respected as such.
I’m pretty excited about the Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Posted this two years and five months ago, but its still relevant: My nothing to hide argument;

Nothing to hide is an incomplete sentence. Nothing to hide from who? surely you want to hide your children from abusers and predators? Don't you want to hide your banking details from con artists and fraudsters? Your identity from identity thieves.. Your location from burglars, your car keys from car thieves or your blood type from rich mobsters with kidney problems..

we don't know who are any of these things. So we should protect ourselves from all of them, in effect we have everything to hide from someone, and no idea who someone is.

edit; let me just add the obvious, that the government and police, Google and Facebook, are made up of many someones.

From yesterdays' email:

"This year, we’re encouraging low- and non-code contributions so more people can do their part for open source regardless of their technical experience."

But at least:

"Hacktoberfest is all about meaningful contributions to open-source projects, therefore, contributors with 2+ spammy PR/MRs will be immediately disqualified"

And projects opt in with the "hacktoberfest" tag to qualify for low-[quality] contributions.
I dunno man, the whole thing seemed overblown to me. They quickly reacted by correcting the participation rules to avoid problems. The whole thing is opt-in now.

Mobile view of tables is the worst, since they almost always horizontally overflow the narrow screens. I suggest that's another reason tabular non-tables have stuck around.

Nowdays, with `display: contents` (on the tbody/tr) you can use `display: grid` to do the layout for your table, too, making it easier to make the table responsive.

CSS lets you do other fun things to tables, too. For example
https://ffoodd.github.io/chaarts/pie-charts.html uses tables, but does not display like a table.
I do a plain http server. String munging and sockets are pretty core to everything I do.

> This kind of anti-cheat would contradict the idea of having control over your own computer. It also wont end there in terms of invasiveness.

I don’t want another player in my game to have control over his own computer to aimbot. I can exit or uninstall Riot Vanguard if I want.

However, it does seem inevitable that any anti-cheat could be overridden with some kind of clever virtualization or an external device that views the screen and sends input either via USB or sleek RGB gamer aesthetic robot fingers.

Then, I suppose, we’ll have to go back to laser tag.
SVG fonts are OpenType fonts, and my understanding is that new-ish support for SVG tables in OpenType fonts is what enables this.

https://color.typekit.com/

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/sv...

https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/using/ot-svg-color-fonts.html

"OpenType-SVG is a font format in which an OpenType font has all or just some of its glyphs represented as SVG (scalable vector graphics) artwork. This allows the display of multiple colors and gradients in a single glyph. Because of these features, we also refer to OpenType-SVG fonts as “color fonts”.

OpenType-SVG fonts allow text to be shown with these graphic qualities, while still allowing it to be edited, indexed, or searched. They may also contain OpenType features that allow glyph substitution or alternate glyph styles."
>>money not controlled by violence, but by math

Can you please elaborate? :)

My initial reaction is a massive groan at the seamlessly meaningless platitude, but that's unfair. Maybe you were in a rush, on the phone, and there's a cogent argument that I'd be eager to hear out.

Edit: To elaborate: both "Controlled by violence" and "Controlled by math" I view as summarized and abstracted way beyond point of sheer uselessness; and only used to propagate a particular point of view. That point of view may be accurate or not, I may agree with it or not, but it does not include useful data or conduct a honest discussion. There's a lot of math involved in fiat money from central banks. There's nothing in crypto that may prevent or shield from violence. Individuals certainly earn money/wealth/value in certain way and their storage medium of choice cannot be summarized in such simple ways. And "Controlled by math" is massively misleading - at best, at best, we can say it has some origins in math. But it certainly is not controlled by math - it is ultimately controlled by people and institutions.
> Small infractions by big operators, hell no

Hell yes.

The large majority of infractions, perpetrated by both small and large companies, are infeasible to address via courts, for a multitude of reasons. Either the frictions exceed the benefit to a class action, or the cost is too diffuse.

Consider global warming. In a torts system, how can I hold an industrial farm or a car manufacturer to account for the role they're playing? You can't, because the cost is too diffuse.

Consider social media. In a torts system, how can I hold a social media company to account for the role they play in an uptick of stochastic terrorism? You can't, because the cost is too diffuse and the burden of proof makes it difficult to draw causal links in single cases.

Consider fast food. In a torts system, how can you address the downstream negative externalities of obesity on society by mass producing unhealthy, unhappy people, which has downstream impacts on the polity, health system, and so on? You can't.

Centralized regulation is the only pragmatic solution to certain problems.

Besides, even if all large-scale infractions were addressable (they're not, as the above examples show), it's still a massive hole in your system to simply allow all small-scale infractions to persist.

> The microplastics in our bloodstreams and the glyphosate in our cheerios say otherwise.

This is the binary bias. Failure isn't a binary switch. We've had a degree of good success (leaded petrol, ozone layer) and a degree of failure (microplastics, carbon pollution).

You also unjustifiably blame all failures on the administrative system, which conveniently leaves out that we actually do also have a torts system in place now. Our system is mixed. So, both your hated system and your desired system are simultaneously failing, but you post hoc attribute all failures to the former.

> Buying off judges and juries is a costlier & dangerously more sensitive

Even if I accepted that bribing a judge is riskier than bribing an agency head, you still have no good solution to buying off lawmakers under a torts-only system, or to costs imposed by operators that aren't pragmatically addressable in a court.
John Carmack re-implementing Wolfenstein 3D to learn Haskell comes to mind.
I agree, and I think your examples of Venmo, and liquidating your 401k are examples of where regulation is needed. Same goes for storing data, while many people hate the GDPR, I think forcing companies to delete personal data is an important piece of legislation. The same thing goes for the right to be forgotten even if it's by manual request.
Clearly it is not suggesting anything like that. You misunderstood it on purpose.
if there was a privacy stablecoin, like USD monero, i wouldn't hesitate to put my savings there. as long as it had a secure future and easy way to use that money for payment. unfortunately this is not possible and i don't think it ever will be.

mainly because cryptos are not really backed by anything. and anything that is backed will be so heavily regulated as to be a government cbdc. and you're back to square one. already usdc and usdt can be frozen in your wallet.
For better or worse, Sun and Oracle never really pushed hard for standalone java based executables that you could install like a typical native app. And I think that stigma continues to stick to them even though bundling appears to be easier these days. Electrons only goal is to provide a path for native app deployment so many probably feel its a safer bet.
That would be the default of this system if the brakes are still able to communicate with and provide power for the brake pedal. Basically if the brake system lost external power, it would get the power needed to run via scavenging it from the motors. Once the vehicle came to a stop, it would then loose power and the parking brake would then engage.

The slam on brakes case would only trigger if there was gross damage to the braking system, where you might have bigger things to worry about.
Tornado Cash and bullets
Exactly.

You have nothing to hide... yet.
I haven't read the article, but you seem to have missed that they're making a distinction between boys and girls.
You can have a compromise. There is a minimum number of $$$ you need to stay in business. The less ads you have in total, the more supply and demand allows you to charge. Most sites though are not at the point anyone will pay them more than someone else, so if you show less ads you won't be able to charge more for the few you show. (the super bowl famously can charge very high rates, but for the average web site you are competing with every other website and so less space isn't significant to all customers)

I strongly believe that most web sites are leaving a lot of money on the table by not having their ads in-house. It will be more work (and cost) in the short run, but a good ad salesman can find those customers who really want to target the people reading your website in ways algorithms do not. The big automakers and fast food don't care about targeting - nearly everyone is a potential customer so they can get everyone. Most care about targeting and so by selling direct you ensure that their ads never go to someone who won't buy anyway because of the algorithm.
Unless something has changed recently, IBM doesn't push OpenShift but rather Cloud Paks which are tailored solutions built on OpenShift. IBM sellers don't get paid on vanilla OpenShift.

I think if the story is to believed, the Red Hat sellers dedicated to big Fortune 500 accounts were given marching orders to reach out about recent negative publicity regarding vmware and the c-suite is asking for pricing/feature comparisons. This doesn't seem sudden or disturbing but rather what happens multiple times a year.
Maybe the capacitors could store enough energy to start braking, and then the braking energy could recharge the capacitors.
I don't deny that there can be physical failures to the systems. And I also drive a hybrid currently that most of the time only uses the electric motor for slowing down, I don't find using the motor for braking scary. I personally see having both regen and hydraulic brakes on a vehicle a great step forward in redundancy and safety.
Hacktoberfest is about contributing to open source yet the community is on Discord...? I guess IRC and Matrix aren't viable mediums to strategise README.md contributions?

I genuinely cannot reconcile the irony here, _maybe_ "because it's easy" which would fit in line with spamming README.md edits for participation.

And the reason why is AML. Your experience is bad, but have you seen the public reaction when a bank has been involved in money laundering?

It is irrational (and strange, countries in the EU will happily launder your money, some domestic banks still accept suitcases full of cash in the basement but the rage is all directed to US/UK banks where money laundering is almost impossible without blackmailing someone in AML...this happens, but it is fairly rare...and risky because most banks now have teams of people watching their AML staff, following them outside work, going through their emails, etc.).

The solution is simple: remove AML/KYC regulations. Let police investigate and find evidence of crimes. This isn't the job of banks, banks aren't the police, AML departments are basically run as private police departments, and the false positive rate is (unsurprisingly) through the roof. They also don't do a particularly good job with true positives either: some obscure Kazakh politician wants to open an account with $5m...okay, there is no Wikipedia page for him, he has provided proof of income, you suspect it is forged, you call the Kazakh police, they tell you it is legit...it is very hard to get right because you don't have any legal investigatory powers.

tried doing some PHP work on it, it is very light weight & actually good. i tried moving around a few dockable windows and it almost looks and feels like intelliJ. it isn't as polished as intelliJ but it is slowly getting there.

on a side note, I have also noticed that a lot of programming language communities are likely taken over by intelliJ staff, your post gets shadow banned if you mention other IDEs.
The performance is directly related to the number of files you track. The first time it runs, it will be slow for large datasets, but incremental changes can use the local cache to speed up things.

That said, I built the bash version as a proof-of-concept with the idea of implementing it using Zig once I'm happy with the tool's usability.
Yes, and that's a myopic exclusion that ignores the fact that we want more manufacturers to license their OS, not less.
Not really, it's a French video game company (Infogrames) that bought Atari when it was just a shadow of its former self and rebranded itself Atari.

Anyway no relation to the original Atary.
So fallback in the case of power loss is you don't come coasting to a stop, your car just suddenly and unexpectedly slams on the brakes? What's it do for recovery, accelerate into the car in front of you?

The Teardrop: A Gift from Russia to America That You Haven’t Heard About
The first prototype of the B-52 may have been designed in a weekend.

The B-52 of today was iteratively designed over decades and the current H models are entirely different planes than earlier models (although structurally very close to the G model).

Another HN commenter mentioned GPS being designed over a holiday. But we spent years and years in the military debugging GPS and making it functional.

Claiming that something was designed in a day is good clickbait, but it completely discounts the years of blood, sweat, and tears it took to get to the product that people have in their head.
Honestly if I see a cert I run the other direction. To me it speaks to the type of person, I would much rather see open source or just experience
4% of current industrial hydrogen production is from electrolysis. This is 8 GW electrical for a production of about 3.5e6 tons/year, i.e. 72 MJ/kg, compared to the energy density of hydrogen of 120 MJ/kg is an efficiency of 60% in the actually deployed systems. While we know how to do better even at industrial scale, PV (in the right place) is so cheap that even 60% makes sense economically.

Technologically, hydrogen electrolysis predates batteries by nearly 50 years, and practically speaking it is so trivial today that I first did it when I was single-digit-years-old.

Not sure what you're thinking of when you suggest fusion might be used for materials instead of energy. Transmutation?
