I’m quite very my government knows most every detail about my home. Certainly the property lines are known within inches. I believe blueprints are probably on file somewhere. All legal modifications to the house are on file at city hall. Apple & Google both have satellite photos. The government GIS systems even know the soil type.

No need to geotag my place.
I've literally never seen a link to an HN comment go viral on social media, such that my non-HN friends would read it. It happens for blog/medium/substack posts all the time.
For my use case, this would have to be incredibly awesome for it to justify self-hosting such a complex and critical system. My current go-to solutions are AWS API Gateway, Azure API Manager and Apigee.
That said, how much costs ddos?
This is still besides the point entirely. Somebody looking to learn web programming is not going to start running a bank.

html is on the representation layer, not a programming language. Modern web apps go much deeper and are using js as as a programming language for web programming that can go much deeper. As an extreme example, Quake Live implements an entire transfer protocol over TCP/IP. In the standard OSI model, there are a few layers between this and that. But there is a reason that purely representative documents still prefer PDF.
I would love to see it have an option to expose the USB HID and HDMI over the pci link rather than having to loop cables between the card and the host.
Why not turn off the colorizing? That's the first thing I do (even outside of NetHack), because the colors often render things unreadable.

Unfortunately, very valid point. Love the example btw :)

Browsers have been getting better at warning users. Which is actually a great help, I think. But no guarantee at all, especially for less tech-savvy users.
A transaction on the Bitcoin base layer takes 10 minutes to be confirmed once. There is second layer tech available to allow faster transactions (Lightning).

A transaction on the Ethereum base layer takes 12 seconds to be confirmed once. There is a vast variety of second layer tech available to allow faster transactions.

There are very different amounts of risk associated with accepting a transaction on the base layer of Bitcoin vs Ethereum after n blocks. For example, Coinbase accepts Bitcoin deposits after 3 confirmations (30 minutes) and Ethereum deposits after 35 confirmations (7 minutes).

Compare to traditional banking: Coinbase accepts ACH deposits instantly (up to a limit) and wires of any size can take 24 hours.
There are some nice options out there. I use a DIY TinyPilot build, and have been pretty happy with it.
Cycling certainly has health benefits, but the general recommendation is to combine it with other forms of aerobic and resistance training rather than making it your sole form of exercise. Cycling only works a limited set of muscles, and doesn't generate the impacts or strains necessary to maintain high bone mineral density.
Yeah, PiKVM is quite nice these days. It also defaults to booting in a minimal readonly filesystem, so running it off a microSD card isn't an issue either.

It's important to get new shoes regularly. I found out the hard way that both my knees and back are affected by the shoes I use. As shoes age they lose their cushioning which means more vibrations are absorbed by your skeleton leading to pain or uncomfortable feeling in the joints.
Affinity Designer is a good vector/bitmap combo app. It closely parallels Illustrator features but adds in basic bitmap editing. If you pair it with Affinity Photo you get most of the Photoshop features. The same files can be shared with both without any loss of fidelity.
I love how people say "abolished" so easily and don't realize the magnitude of change it would require. /aside

In any case, Arizona has a LOT of roundabouts. They take considerably more land so it would basically be impossible for the vast majority of existing in-city street corners. Arizona uses them more in rural/not yet developed areas. Definitely help speed up things, but I would say at this point, it will only be useful for new, very spread out cities.
At some intersections in the UK, the roundabout is literally a small circle of paint. The car doesn't really go "around" it because it's so small. It mostly exists as a visual cue that the intersection follows roundabout rules.
Runtime assistance coupled via the type system is fully as legitimate as GC. Your example with "up" pointers in a pointer-linked tree (or DAG) structure is very easily handled that way.

General graphs are, as I noted, better handled by decoupling ownership from connectivity, as is almost always quite easy.
Zero consideration for pedestrians, typical of US traffic engineering. Sucks here.
It's very much not trash.

As you say this is risk. You can make any tradeoff you want, and you are probably right.

You can hire someone you think may be working from Iran. You're pretty sure you won't get caught violating sanctions for it.

> I could not care less if they pay their taxes

I don't know LATAM employer side taxes, but if their tax offices do decide to target you then what you "could not care less" about will not matter much.

But shrug, yeah you probably won't get caught.

My favorite lawyer quote: "Legal didn't say we can't do it. Legal says if we do it then we may all go to jail. It's not the same thing".

And indeed it's not. But it's not trash.
Cloning elements and duplicating containers are what DFlex tries to avoid. Because the usual implementation is to clone the element (ghost it) and then append a new one with a fixed position. The result is to reconstruct the DOM tree directly with every user interaction which leads to poor user experience and not a very practical transformation. That's why the default thing to do with DFlex is not to clone or change the element position unless there's a need to do so, for example: transforming from a container with a scroll.
Most IPMI/iDRAC/ILO chips burn 3-6W when the server's powered off, if you have them running on a network. If you need the remote management even when the server's powered down, that power consumption's a tradeoff you have to make.

ASRock Rack's PAUL card says it uses 7-8W, so this board is a good bit under that.

The bottom box is against the rules, as well as "See Also" and sidebars. Links from the article text only. Wikispeedrun just renders it without the rulebreaking sections.

> I've also seen fancy sensor-equipped traffic lights where the traffic flow was improved by a power outage turning the intersection into a (legal default) 4-way stop. Major intersections. During rush hour.

That fits one of the main points made in this article: traffic lights slow down traffic. Another one is that decreasing speed on intersections increases safety.

The magic of roundabouts is that they accomplish the latter without needing the former.
Exactly. And I would add that the shitty things about regime in Cuba are somewhat contiguous with the previous shitty (Batista) regime. Both repressive. Both awful. The biggest appreciable difference is: American vs not-American (former Soviet) control/domination.

I think Obama at least sensed that the best way to get Cuba into a more functional state and better neighbour was to take the "but we're embargoed!" excuse away from the regime there. Trump undid that.

BTW the only time I came across sex tourism in Cuba, it was indeed a creepy guy with two young (probably minor) girls. In a cafe in Havana. But the guy was not Canadian, he was American. And repulsive.
Miro and Canva are really similar to Figma, no ?
Years ago, a report somebody had built for us blew up on some addresses in the Midwest. A look at the addresses showed values of the form "12345E State Road 5". The control that read the house number interpreted as a number in scientific format, and of course had no provision for a number that large. Dropping a space in before the "E"s allowed the report to run.

This is an odd case, in that the house number is a "number": in the US it generally indicates distance from some fixed line, and the parity can indicate which side of the street it falls on. But then people will write them with As, Bs, Es, etc. attached.
Not to my knowledge no

They also make no claims that it does & if it did I'd imagine their marketing dept would be all over that

Definitely noticed tangible changes on limescale levels though, so it does seem to filter that well
It's not daily- there is more like a cycle caused by changes in offshore flow and temps in the inland valleys. I'd see a week without any fog, then a two weeks of in-and-out fog, then a week of total fog, including times when I couldn't see more than a few avenues towards sunset, or the park looked like some misty dream.
We think this is because the images are all links and the browser itself is pulling them in from across the web. With chrome it happened once during our testing, and we've had one user also experience it, but it's intermittent. Thank you for pointing to brave, which we haven't tested yet! That might help us repeat the errors.

BlueJ was part of the recommended curriculum for Std 8th and 9th (I think) in some Indian schools circa 2005. My school wasn't in the same system. I had to learn PASCAL for the time my friends in other school systems had BlueJ in their curriculum. I used to be lowkey jealous of them back then. lol
I could say the same about cockroaches.
I'm mostly interested in the SQLite part of this, and we don't have an SQLite offering, only Postgres, just to be clear. So you can't hurt my feelings here.

When does SQLite become "a distributed DB built with sqlite as storage"? Did Postgres stop being Postgres when someone plugged log shipping into it? That's basically what we're talking about here --- not stuff like rqlite, which I'm also pretty interested in, but which really is a new database built on SQLite.
You don't need to worry about the government on the other side either unless your company actually does business in that jurisdiction in such a way that they can sanction you. Local governments are usually trying to attract digital nomads with remote working visas. One gov can crack down - the nomad would just move to a friendlier jurisdiction.

No, integrity was there before the legal system.

My grandfather used to do business out of his wallet with cash and handshakes. He would do deals with farmers to make things in his workshop, and then get paid in pigs/parts of cows 6 months later. Farmers in particular are extremely reliable and credible people.

People in agrarian areas didn't move around much and personal integrity was definitely a kind of currency.

When you're dealing with industrial level trade and commerce, esp. with far flung traders and investors - yes, you're right.

And you're right to point out the relationship on some level.

But ultimately, Crypto is not going to add integrity to the system, and, integrity is essential.

"Smart contracts allow for certain types of commercial transactions to be conducted without the existence of a reliable judicial system, which transactions would otherwise be too risky to undertake. This incremental improvement will have a material impact on people's lives."

No - they do not.

The naming of these things are a total misrepresentation.

Contracts can only exist within the context of a Judical system, otherwise, they're not really contracts.

No businesses on planet earth are going to allow their businesses to be managed outside the auspices of some kind of judicial oversight, and especially not in things that cannot be undone.

The world is full of accidents, misinterpretations.

Every situation we see a 'smart contract' there is probably room for a market maker, and/or just some kind of simple software that 'implements' a regular contact.

No doubt, fully agree with you! I'm only proposing to keep an open mind, because you never really know until you connect with the people.

I used to say so many nevers, "I'll never work for X, fuck them!", etc. As I've gotten older, I regret this manner of thinking my young self did. Always better to keep an open mind while still sticking to your guns.

At the same time, don't ignore red flags!
> For many companies the transition to remote during covid was a massive drop in performance of their staff.

This was the expected outcome, since most companies hadn't prepared at all for a multi-year global lockdown. However, my understanding is that even companies that had very little preparation handled the pandemic absolutely fantastic, and other factors were much more important (supply chain of physical goods, jobs that could only be done in-person, reduced travel and leisure etc). If productivity dropped for white-collar WFH type of jobs across the board, I think we would never hear the end of it. Instead, the media zeitgeist is blaming the "anti-work" culture, that people aren't taking minimum wage jobs anymore etc. It's definitely not the narrative I'd expect if "WFH=low productivity" were true.
I’m reminded of the Soviet joke about capitalism being man oppressing man, and socialism the other way around.

Layoffs are almost always unfair in some way. This just tilts the unfairness in another direction.

Ethereum miners were using GPUs. AMD, Nvidia, and others. They could switch their GPUs from mining ethereum which is about $1500 per coin to Ethereum classic but that is only about $40 per coin. I’d guess that wouldn’t be worth continuing with since it would be much less than than their electricity bill. They could sell their GPUs on EBay or other secondary markets, switch to protein folding, cloud-based password cracking, or SETI sky scanning. Maybe they use them to play high resolution video games like most people. Some smaller percent might notice next month when they eventually see that their ETH wallet hasn’t grown over the next month and Google why that’s the case.

Crypto mining occurs mainly where electricity is either cheap or free. Hydroelectric and Geothermal tends to produce the cheapest energy so many large mining outfits were relocated next to Hydroelectric and Geothermal plants. Many are in remote northern areas where computer cooling costs are less expensive too. $HIVE blockchain technologies was running enough ethereum miners to mine 7675 ethereum ($11.5 Million dollars worth) during the 3 month period ending in June 30, 2022 according to their quarterly earnings report. 100% of all of their miners used renewable energy sources.
Registering for payroll tax in another state is generally very straightforward, and carries minimal additional income tax consequences (unless the employee at issue is an executive).

If the company uses a payroll services provider like ADP, it really is as easy as having the legal department register for payroll tax (and unemployment tax, if that is a separate registration in that state), a roughly 15-30 minute process, and providing the relevant ID numbers to ADP.
It sounds like your chief concerns are around transacting on and storing all your money on a layer 1. It would be very similar to walking around with your life savings in cash in a briefcase. But just like cash has banks, custodians, and settlement layers so can (for example) bitcoin.

If all services sitting on top of bitcoin were equal to the USD (settlement, fraud protection, PayPal/Venmo, etcetc) then you’d really need to compare the “tokenomics” of the currencies. With bitcoin, you have complete predictability in terms of when new bitcoins are created (inflation). With USD it’s purely up to the government.
Citizens working without paying into pension, healthcare, or following local employment laws (best example: France, that really cares what employees in their borders do).

You can't simply unilaterally declare that sales tax compensates for everything you do, and think laws don't apply.
I moved here in '93. I'm not a native, but I don't think I can be considered transient.

I got an AC unit for the first time two years ago. Following tradition, it didn't arrive until I didn't need it, but I ran it last year, and then a lot this year.

I live in SOMA, it is usually a couple degrees warmer here than the city average. But that doesn't account for the 99F reading on my outside thermometer last week.

"rightly so"

What possible benefit could there be to anyone in "golly gee, who could possibly know?" vs. "It's because you're selling cannabis to Iran, stupid"?

My guess is that it's because most people aren't selling cannabis to Iran, and the Real Problem is the liability they [Stripe, et al] would be exposed to if they admitted their billion-dollar system (and/or call center employees) can't distinguish between Cuba and a cubano.
This is a much better example, thanks. That does indeed look like it doesn't really take up any more room -- the painted roundabout mostly seems to serve as a reminder of the yield order that people should take. In a way, its almost like a yield-controlled intersection here in the US. Those work relatively well as long as everyone follows the rules. In many places, this would just be inviting aggressive drivers to blow through intersections.
Or some arrangement of flyovers, ramps, etc (double diamond interchange being the current flavor of the month here in the US mid-Atlantic). Obviously, only makes sense for actual motorways, not going to get one in mid-town London, hopefully.

Not OP, and not about opex specifically, but around PoS and centralization...

Before we had ~3 groups (miners, holders, users) that all kind of needed each other. Now there's no more miners. Given that crypto loves zero-trust and all that, I think it'll be an interesting experiment to see how the randomness of staking allocations plays out; if randomness streaks towards major capital, it'll look like they're favoring themselves and their stakes will accumulate %-wise increase at a higher rate (centralization!). The other "random-streak" outcomes aren't as bad (imo) and there's some game theory around this topic that I'm only topically versed in. Complicated by the part that miners did have some of their own problematic incentives and externalities.

In summary I view it as moving away from an unstable 3-body problem down to a more stable/centralized 2 bodies, one of which has greater influence. Hopefully good stewards and all that, but instead of forced cooperation among the 3 we now mostly trust 1 group.
Gentrification which increases the price of housing and other goods is a common complaint in Mexico.

Though in my opinion this financial arbitrage is simply inevitable due to the housing market in Western countries being overinflated by investors.

It is a complex issue. Tongue tie is a real thing that causes real problems and lack of a diagnosis can lead to a lot of unneeded suffering and distress. Compounding this pediatricians are often not very responsive to breastfeeding concerns.

However, the placebo effect here is really strong. Firstly because tongue tie revisions are to fix issues that very often are the kind of thing that resolves on it's own. Secondly because parents are told they will see some sort of fix and they are putting their child through a procedure than can be painful so they will really want to see an improvement.

There isn’t really a thing called a memory namespace, in Linux or the BSDs at least. In Linux there are cgroups that deal with accounting and you can share VM space among cloned processes (which we then typically refer to as threads). Neither of these affect the ability to share memory among processes.

The only namespace that matters here is the filesystem/mount namespace.

There is no reason you can’t access the same shared SQLite database on a common volume between containers on Linux for instance.

Contracting requires the devs to get up to speed on the software and your company needs. On the other hand, a private company selling commercial software has a comparative advantage in already knowing the codebase and user needs.

10 companies each contracting 1 dev for an open-source project is a less-efficient allocation of resources than 1 company hiring 10 devs for their commercial software project.
