For anyone shocked by this (as I am) it's interesting to reflect on what about physical objects makes us value them so much. I'm of the opinion that it's better to digitize most things (I prefer digital books and documents over physical copies for example), but burning a one-of-a-kind artwork from a historical figure is painful to read about.

At the same time, something new has been created. The value of anything is really subjective, and surely people are going to consider these NFTs valuable for intangible reasons, much like the rest of art.

It's surprising he didn't donate the painting to charity directly though, as that would probably reduce his tax burden.

To clarify my comment, I did mean bytecode interpreter.

This is a common implementation approach - parse the source to generate an AST, transform the AST to bytecode, then interpret the bytecode. It's still interpretation, and is slow. Contrast to JIT engines which transform the intermediate code (whether that's AST or bytecode) to machine code, and is fast.

>The only way to do this reliably and without fire hazard is to passively cool the hardware completely by having HUGE heatsinks and THEN you can add a fan that you slow down with a resistor.

Sized appropriately, you can do it 100% passive and still maintain lifespan. You'd only need a fan if your ambient temps exceeded design specs.

There are a lot of things you can do to optimize your thermal design / minimize sink size:
- Choose a better sink material (like copper)

- Sink fin design (# of fins and spacing) should be designed for natural convection

- Maintain proper device/sink orientation (standard fins should be perpendicular with the ground, pin fin style sinks can be vertical or horizontal)

- If you've got a huge heat sink, you can employ vapor chambers or heat pipes to serve as heat spreaders to improve utilization of the sink / reduce spreading resistance.

- Use the best thermal interface material you can afford

- Apply the most allowable contact pressure between your components and your sink to reduce thermal contact resistance

My first computer was a TRS-80 Color Computer. My second computer was a Commodore 64.

Other than the CPU, the Commodore 64 was better in every way. Graphics, lowercase, SID for sound, real interrupts for data, keyboard... so many other reasons.

The Commodore 64 was better than the TRS-80 Color Computer. Much better.
It seems you’re referring to digital pianos. Usually the term “electric piano” refers to the likes of Rhodes and Wurlitzer.

Also, try the action of a Kawai MP11 or MP11SE: it’s very close to a grand piano. Yamaha also has a great action but only in high end cabinet pianos, not in cheaper stage ones.
directly from the article:

"But one of the most lasting abuses of the era was borne by children. In the late 1930s and 1940s, Antonio Vallejo-Nájera, a leading psychiatrist in the regime who was trained in Nazi Germany, promoted the idea of a Marxist “red gene” carried by the children of Franco’s left-wing opponents. The gene, he said, might be suppressed by removing children from their mothers and placing them with conservative families. Franco’s men soon began the abductions on a large scale. They targeted children orphaned by Franco’s firing squads and took newborns belonging to women who had given birth in jail as political prisoners. All were sent to be raised by regime loyalists. The era of the “stolen babies” had begun."

the transfer of the babies, predominantly from low class families to high ranking Catholics, allies of Franco's regime of course makes the ideological connection clear.

Antonio Vallejo-Nájera was explicit about the political/eugenic character of these transfers:

"Vallejo’s conclusions were that the only way to prevent the racial dissolution of the Spanish was to take away the red children from their mothers in places "away from democratic environments and where the exaltation of bio-psychic racial qualities is encouraged". By 1943, 12,043 children had been taken from their mothers and handed over to orphanages or Francoist families"

> Imbalance of power, where powerful entities were able to "buy" influence over the hospital personel (usually with some relation with the Church) to get the babies of poor people that will not be able to fight back (because of lack of knowledge or resources)

I don't think it's unreasonable to draw a connection between this and the fascist principle of individual subordination. Particularly when Franco's government directly controlled the church and mandated its omnipresence[1].

Hrm. If you had a specific WASM engine embedded in the app, you might be able to get it to precompile the bytecode (to avoid violating the runtime modification policy); that might be low-enough overhead (since you also control the communications layer & could make it cheaper).
I buy and sell NFTs that represent fractional ownership in real estate. Well technically they represent ownership in an LLC that owns the real estate. Governance is done via votes of the token holders. There is a company that facilitates the transactions, but they don't hold or manage the real estate.

This type of investing has long been done on paper, but the blockchain makes it much more liquid. Selling your fractional ownership in a property was onerous at best, and took a long time and a lot of fees.

Now it's just sending a token to someone else in exchange for money (fiat or crypto).

Another advantage is that it doesn't matter if the facilitator goes out of business, because all the ownership records are on a public blockchain instead of their secret central database.

I generally agree with you, A LOT of crypto is crap and could be better solved with a central database. But there are valid use cases.
You can try listening to them, some stores have demo models, etc.

An advance gentle warning to people moving to Fastmail: never use the email address on their domain “fastmail.<tld>. Just don’t.

Pretend it doesn’t exist. It’ll be difficult to move away from Fastmail if you have to. Because they don’t have any free tier for that which is fine.

I regret using it on mailbox.org and I have used it at so many places in last many years that moving away seems tedious and I give up on it even before I start.

I think that the key point is, this kind of thing _is_ legit, if you are honest about what's happening. The dev is foreign, we have a local project manager to handle communications. This is not uncommon. If you are a foreign programmer actually able to program, this is how you would do it.

If you DON'T do it this way, but instead get an actor to play a local dev, then it is because you cannot actually program, and therefore need to borrow someone else's identity to get contracts.
I always read the story as a warning against forced collectivism. Specifically, forcing people to act against what they believe are their own individual interests, and instead sacrifice those interests in order to advance the goals of the wider society.

The name at the top of the slide for a node which says '3NM' or '20A' and increasingly the 'transistor density'.

The former were divorced from a specific measurement of a functional unit at around 22nm to make press releases sound better and not scare investors when it became clear that Moore's law was dying, and the latter are increasingly divorced from a measurement relating to the density of actual functioning logic on the die.

The best bit is metal pitch and poly pitch are actually on those slides which would have allowed you to see what I meant if you'd read them and see that there's no roadmap past a functional unit roughly 10nm in linear dimension. That roadmap will likely be extended to somewhere in the 5-2nm range at some point, but after that, transistors are basically done because that's how big 'an electron in a low voltage potential well' is.
> Most people who live (and vote) in Santa Cruz prefer to be in a low density area. While I understand that some people actually like to live in denser cities, the majority prefer some space and privacy.

Sure, there's nothing wrong with that. What _is_ unreasonable is fighting tooth and nail to prevent anyone without a sufficiently large bag of money from moving to Santa Cruz to try and preserve that low density.

> Places like Santa Cruz have never had any real intentional urban planning, so building a lot of additional housing is going to overload the infrastructure. They would need to upgrade all the utilities, build more schools, and completely revamp the transportation system.

I don't see how this is a valid argument against densification. It's not as if the current infrastructure in Santa Cruz was just lying around when people got there. Every growing population center has had to deal with expanding infrastructure to match. This isn't some novel, unsolvable problem.

> Good luck convincing any long-term Santa Cruz residents that they should sacrifice their quality of life and live in the middle of a construction zone for years for the sake of reducing someone else's rent.

Why should they get to decide? Why are their preferences so much more important than those of poorer or newer residents?
...from approximately $1 per share in October 2019 to nearly $14 per share by April 2021, leading to a grossly inflated market capitalization of $100 million.

After buying a RAM, I carefully consider software quality.

Sometimes the GPS azimuth data gets out of sync, which is annoying. However, the dealbreaker is that the transmission has some software bug where it overheats if you drive for more than an hour or so in certain circumstances. (Turning it off and waiting five minutes reboots it enough to get it to do whatever it needs to do to cool itself off.)

Sometimes we get a dreaded error message like this on the dashboard: "Drive to destination without switching into reverse or turning off. The vehicle might not turn back on.", which means the drivetrain computer cannot talk to the transmission, and it is stuck in a random gear.

Also, there was a safety recall software update. Applying it broke the state machine transitions for the push button ignition switch. (If you see a Ram owner accidentally re-start their engine after parking, this is why.)

Other Fiats (or whatever they renamed themselves to) are apparently on the same drivetrain software platform and have similar problems. All of the above things happened in warranty and none are fixable, from what we can gather.

It also had a bug where sometimes the cruise control wouldn't disengage unless you stood on the brake pedal while forcing the shift knob past an interlock and into neutral. They fixed that with the software update that broke the ignition switch.

We're eagerly awaiting the day when we can upgrade to an EV pickup truck from another company.

The GMC we had before the Ram was even worse. It was even more likely to strand itself, and the ABS / traction control liked to unexpectedly engage. Also, we had many mechanical issues. Like RAM, we had difficulty getting GMC to honor the warranty (with < 100 miles on the odometer).

Anyway, if the radio is buggy, don't buy the car.

While imaging the inconvenience of switching chat apps, you might also imagine someone who lived in Ukraine who just wanted to sit around all day and read HN and now they are dead after being bombed by Russia. Apple is complying with the US sanctions because they are a US company. There is no magic here. The Dutch company that owned a 27% stake in VK had to write down its stake, $760M. Again, marginally more inconvenient than switching chat apps.

Hard disagree. This car is a nightmare. Off the top of my head:

1. Transmission dipstick requires removing the engine mount to get access and is also held down with a bolt.

2. Various electrical issues with wiring cause premature failure and "gremlin" like issues. You could end up on the side of the road and not be able to diagnose the issue.

3. The transmission on some trims are solid while others are this terrible Aisin unit that used Toyota trans fluid and has a high failure rate.

4. A smaller issue but annoying nonetheless: No easy way to add AUX in to the stock stereo. It is bare bones and they didn't even add any header. :/

The Mazda I referenced predated AUX input but they exposed an input for SatelliteRadio/Cassette/Minidisc and that gives you the option of removing something to replace with AUX. The GM Unit? Nothing.

While I recommend the repair manual in my comment above, in this case the real lesson it will teach you is how much headache you will begin to encounter should you choose to repair this car.

But to clarify, in terms of documentation, there is a lack of Youtube videos going into deep detail about every little issue on this car like the Mazda has. The Mazda has tons of channels covering it. The Chevy? Not so much. The Manual tells you how to fix subsystems but would never cover little things like the window switch not working and the fix being to stuff a bit of a q-tip stick in the rubber pressure button to permanently resolve the issue. The manual would just tell you to replace the part altogether. Thats what I mean by the car being documented inside and out. It has been studied so much that there are actual practical fixes to specific parts.
I understand this criticism but I am not sure what you are posting it in response to or what arguments you are assigning to the discussion. My point is simply that the story focuses on an aspect of life of some emotional and philosophical significance and does what it sets out to do fairly well. It's not attempting to critique social norms as they precisely are but just the general concept of celebrating hierarchy vs. attempting to smooth it over.

Long time customer of fastmail. Great support. I once forgot to cancel sub, contacted them, and they refunded with no question. Really built the trust.

Now I have my personal and side business on fastmail.

UX is simple, service is reliable. Keep up the good work.
If Chromium is a requirement I’d choose the ungoogled-chromium flatpak but for normal people Brave is preferable over proprietary options, despite the crypto bullshit.
When I left Gmail for FastMail, I imported my contacts and calendar from Gmail, started fresh with the email. Nothing is forcing you to delete your Gmail, you can always go back and reference it. You can export your mailbox from Gmail and import it into a local mail client, I just didn't bother.

For each new service, I'd sign up with my new custom domain email instead of my Gmail. I'd continually check the Gmail for emails that I cared about and would update my email for those services/mailing lists as they came in. Over the period of a couple years.

I maybe move one email over a month these days, so we're just about done. With a custom domain, I'll never have to do this again.

The best time to start is a few years ago. The second best time is now.
> Not sure about your specific game, but if you're using an engine or handling widget rendering yourself, you won't feel this pain.

Out of all the apps that I listed, I don't believe any of them use native desktop widgets/controls/ui frameworks, except the Microsoft products. And even then, the Microsoft products are definitely using customized widgets which means they're writing a lot of custom rendering code anyways.

Edit: I'd also like to add that the original comment said that electron is portable, implying that portability is a tremendous feat. This is what I'm arguing against. Sure if you wrote your entire app in WPF, that's going to be next to impossible to port. But if you want to make a cross platform app, then it's not difficult to use a framework like QT to have a native cross platform app as opposed to embedding an entire browser runtime to get a portable app. This false dichotomy is what I don't get. It's not 2000 anymore, there's no reason portability has to be treated as some boogeyman that can only be solved by shipping extremely bloated software for a native cross platform app.

Also, here's a big list of C++ GUI libraries if QT doesn't float your boat https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/babfl5/a_pretty_big_li...
