> there are defined, standardized solutions for all of those

Really? I have never seen two Next.js projects, open source or not, which use the same subset of libraries. Most don't even share the same "approach" to communication with the backend. Some use GraphQL, some other just API routes, other's proxy to another backend, other trpc, others firebase like solutions, etc... And none of them would qualify as "simple" to anyone else than the person that built it. Even more, no two single projects share the same structure or code organization.

> It's really not, because again, solutions are pretty standardized.

Tying together all of those solutions and guarantee you're not creating security holes in doing so, documenting it for others and making it robust and battle proven is complex for almost everyone, maybe not for you if you're top 1%, granted. I'd love to hear about those standard solutions you mention, because as I said above, those standard solutions are different for everyone. And I've seen tons of wasted time and effort in discussing what's the "standard solution" to use. From people discussing if they should do validations with yup or express-validator or joi to discussing if they prefer prisma or knex to entire weeks debating if migrating to GraphQL would be better.... tons of time and company money wasted.
Sounds like some really cool functionality, I'll take a look and see what I can implement to help people better support local bookstores
Thanks! I needed this. My library has either ACSM or send to Kindle. So I cannot read it on my old Sony eBook reader. Until this.
I don't understand why you would attempt to summarize the article without reading even half of it.
Aren't Asian Americans the population with the highest median household income?
People keep mentioning the financial incentive as either something to take issue with and combat the entire system, or as something to hold up as a feature which can save a project.

Perhaps both have some point; however, I don't see it really necessary at all for a very useful and thriving project to benefit from something like IPFS.

Case in point - DVC.

You don't need financial incentive for people to store ML models / weights on their computers - they need to use them there anyway. It makes great sense that the more popular the model, the faster it should load from more nodes serving you, rather than waiting for things to be downloaded from the one server the authors put it on (that will probably be deleted in a year or so anyway).
Thanks! Let me know if you have any feedback or criticisms, I'd be happy to address them.
Doubt it. The NSA would have way better production value than that, lol.
I am surprised he is getting away with publishing this in english only - there was a time were you had to have french versions of everything at french government institutions, and this definitely is coming from one of those.
It's more so meant to be used as a global CDN, rather than an indexed search engine.
In recent years there has been a large growth of alternative IPFS implementations. Partly because of different needs, partly because of unhappiness with the performance and reliability of the go-ipfs implementation.

At my previous company actyx.com we wrote our own ipfs implementation in rust called ipfs-embed ( https://github.com/ipfs-rust/ipfs-embed ) that serves as the storage for our distributed event sourcing system. It is used in production and is reliable.

The user of an Actyx deployment will not notice in any way that they are using ipfs in the background.

There are also some other interesting developments involving ipfs and rust. See a list of implementations here:

No, they didn't. They just had supply&demand based on how long you were willing to wait, the black market, barter, privilege, and a market of favors and counter-favors.
You say that people have been punished and jailed for simply saying the wrong thing… do you have any actual examples? The one example you gave, the woman who laughed at Jeff Sessions, had the conviction overturned and the charges dropped.

Do you mean does recursion work? Absolutely!
Runtime errors are the easiest to catch and fix.

With TS you're paying the full price (in verbosity and complexity) but getting 10% of the value. There probably still are projects where it's a good deal, but my bet is they are the minority.
Your definition is emotionally-fueled and bears little relevance to the actual definition of a scam. I don't know any better technology that exists. The Internet Archive is supported by donations and subject to tides of political sentiment.

BitTorrent has a huge problem with data retention and is the only other decentralized popular alternative I know of that can be considered successful.
Dealing with existing PC compatible servers is just a constant onslaught of tedium. Some of it is as disruptive as the DIMM stuff Bryan talked about. Some of it is just the stuff people have seemingly become desensitised to. Some of the things I've had to deal with in the last few years:

* several different servers where you can set the boot order through the Redfish API, except that it only works about 60% of the time and there is no way to tell from the response if it took or not. Just have to keep doing it and rebooting until it hopefully eventually works!

* PXE boot support that is incredibly slow, so for any reasonable payload size you need to chainload iPXE every time

* servers with oddball Broadcom NICs where chainloading iPXE doesn't work at all

* servers that sit at the BIOS screen for twenty minutes unless you pull out all the U.2 NVMe devices, then they boot OK. Maybe a firmware update will fix it!

* firmware updates that don't install properly through the BMC

* firmware updates that don't _show_ they're installed properly until the BIOS boots completely and can report the new version through apparently some kind of HTTP request on an internal USB NIC to the BMC, even though the BMC has control of the SPI flash and thus is lying to you until that reboot occurs

* BMCs that just stop working until you remove power at the wall from the whole system

* IPMI serial over LAN redirection that drops about 4% of output characters but not in a predictable way so copying and pasting, say, a serial number has be done several times to be sure you got the whole thing

* an interrupt controller in a HP system that doesn't emulate fixed interrupts correctly, and so eventually after some random number of millions of interrupts the lines are just stuck on until you power cycle the system

That's just stuff that comes to mind at the moment. There's literally no way to compose a reliable automated production system on this ridiculous tower of packing peanuts. In contrast, in the lab, I can pretty much just ask an Oxide machine to replace the contents of the SPI ROM and the M.2 storage device and power cycle it and it does what it's told. There are comparatively few moving parts and we have the source to almost all of them.

If you're busy clearing debris from the road and talking to other drivers about your fender bender, your phone is likely back in the car out of ear shot.

I'm not sure why you think questioning the default-on status of this feature is somehow an opposition to its potential usefulness in the extremely rare times you're unconscious or pinned AND nobody else is around to call. I mean, this article is about the phone calling emergency services from roller-coaster rides, which says it all. It should default to OFF. You have purchased an i Phone not an i Emergency Beacon.
To literally add my 2 cents: I use Geany for all code, whatever the language.
Used to be right side dominant. Then suffered serious injuries on my knee and shoulder in a road accident. Started using my left side more.

Pfizer and big-pharma has a long history of fudging the truth and bribery.

Why should it be different now ? Same people.
It surprises me because it goes against my lived experience. When I grew up in late Communist and early post-Communist Czechoslovakia and later Czechia, it was absolutely taken for granted that we are poorer than Spain and have much lower buying power. As late as 2004, I felt it in my wallet when I stayed in Barcelona for a cryptographic workshop - everything was so much more expensive than back home.

IDK what do you mean by "natural state". There are too many counterexamples. Ireland or Norway used to be comparably poor countries in the early 1900s, Slovakia was seriously underdeveloped etc. What is the "natural state" of Spain in your opinion? An Arab colony, a center of a huge empire, or a military dictatorship? The country has gone through so many iterations during its existence.

"Poor" is a word that has two meanings. No one in their sane mind would call Spain absolutely poor, like Niger or Afghanistan is. But relative poverty is psychologically damaging too. If other countries progress faster than you, you are slowly moving towards the end of the wealth distribution in your common club. And people don't like that.
Oh god: HN parroting CNN parroting Biden. Reminds me of tonight's Last Week Tonight episode in several ways.

Big picture: Xenophobic, isolationist tendencies are leading indicators of downfall of a society's openness, net positive immigration of talent, technical superiority, and leadership in the world. China is America's factory. There is little technical know-how left in America to make things at scale, and there's no way to do it economically. 98% of the supply-chain is global. "Factory owners" might as well give it a go to get some grants and then outsource it to Africa.
So can CNG, which is where most hydrogen comes from anyway. Just cut out the middle step and do a CNG conversion. They’re mature, less likely to leak, and don’t attack metals.
It's probably not illegal, although I don't know that for a fact. Those sites don't let you filter on a lot of criteria. They mostly cater to agents and secondarily to buyers. They also are still stuck in the past modes of searching for places.

You can see this how they are geared around searching and filtering based on a local you want to move to. The sites really suck if your search is largely location irrelevant and you're wanting to pick a place on let's say lowest property taxes.
It has some performance and reliability problems. Some of them are just a matter of writing a better implementation, some are more conceptual.

But the basic principle of a content-addressed, distributed file system is desperately needed, and there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes from both protocol labs and others to fix these problems...

Stay tuned :-)
I can't access anything other than the abstract so apologies if this is in the paper, but personally I think there's a few obvious factors. One is Christian social teaching as a foundation for a lot of the national corporatist models (Christsoziale Demokratie here in Germany for example), which has always underpinned both the major left and right wings of European politics.

Another factor is a somewhat greater level of homogeneity (i.e 'no Denmark without the Danes') although this seems overplayed usually for political reasons from the more extreme factions given that Europe's social model also seems to hold in recent times despite changing demographics.

Another factor, a little bit contradictory to the last one maybe, is I think also the diversity between individual European nations. There's lots of natural and linguistic borders that have prevented the sort of concentration you see in say, the US or China both politically as well as economically. A lot of the drivers of inequality in the US are incredibly concentrated corporate giants, which domestically in the EU wouldn't have much success.

A fourth factor I think is also the focus on white collar academic work in the US as well as Britain. In particular here in the German-speaking/adjacent sphere (Germany, Swiss, Northern Italy, also Benelux and parts of the East) there's a focus on grey-collar work and industry which provides what Daron Acemoglu labeled 'good jobs'. Middle class vocational professions that support a broad base of workers. The European South has traditionally lacked this and is markedly more unequal.
For me, getting paid per hour is anathema to my enjoyment of the work. It’s a perverse incentive if I get things done faster than expected and a source of worry if things take longer. I’d much rather get paid per project, or get paid salary with TOIL for overtime worked.
I would absolutely love an IPFS based version control system, something superficially (or more) resembling fossil would be amazing. I think it's probably one of the best applications for IPFS, since a lot of the core data structures and primatives required for version control are already a part of IPFS. A version control system built on top of a distributed content addressed filesystem, what could be better?
I liked the title, so I started reading, and found not a coherent
essay but a collection of decontextualised, microscopic fragments,
like the muttering of a madman flitting between this and that.

Each fragment, a tantalising morsel, led me along a path searching
desperately for some substance, until I stumbled, apparently without
irony, upon this:

> In this way splintered...we’re talking about the American
mind...splintered, & disintegrated, it is desperate for something
however irrational to which to cling.

Then I realised it's a collection of posts from "Twitter", the enemy
of rational discourse.

Seldom has a point been better made by its form.
the metadata can be versioned and you can lookup by version, so names of stored file can be changed but every time there is a change to any of the metadata the version is updated too
I'm just old enough to remember the dot com bubble. Very few companies back then had much revenue, let alone any profit. Public tech companies in 2022 have enormous revenue and profit streams. Alphabet/Google is trading around 20 times earnings and Meta/Facebook is around 10 times earnings. The S&P 500 overall is in the high teens. I'm not sure I'd call that disconnected from reality.

Within the startup ecosystem there are embryonic products that if nurtured can develop into existential threats to most of the current Fortune 500 companies. Incumbents eventually have to pay up to survive, eg. Adobe acquiring Figma. This dynamic supports startup valuations broadly. Startups represent the future and the future is usually priced at a premium.
I wish the tax on flipping houses went up. Something is sleeping there that it economically makes sense. Like if I sell 1 car, ok, but if I sell 10 I need a dealer license. Same should happen with the flippers. More regulations, because they’re cutting corners all the way.
It works great even in that case, at the fundamental level it makes sense for content to be accessed in such a manner and then indexed on too of that by name.
NTSC television video is interlaced. First you draw the even lines of the image, then you draw the odd lines. Each set of lines is called a field.

Originally NTSC was 60 fields per second, based on the 60hz frequency of the North American power grid. 60 interlaced fields per second is pretty similar to 30 frames per second, but is not the same thing. The interlaced signal refreshes twice as quickly, but with half the vertical resolution per refresh.

When colour was added to NTSC, the frequency was shifted to 59.94 fields per second.

Movies shot on film are filmed at 24 frames per second. To convert a 24fps film to 60 field per second video, something called a 2:3 pulldown is used. The wiki explanation for how this works is pretty good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecine#2:3_pulldown

A 2:3 pulldown on 24fps film matches the 60 fields per second of the original black and white NTSC signal, but is slightly off for colour NTSC. The original article talks about how this can lead to problems like audio desync in production workflows.

Digital cameras offer the option to capture at 23.976fps. When you apply a 3:2 pulldown to 23.976fps video, you get an interlaced 59.94 fields per second video.
Well, to me those sounds like different use cases. Pointing to the current up do date content requires a domain anyway. The domain is the users guarantee that a trusted party has made the decision to update the content.

Like claims of perpetual motion, if it looks like Supply&Demand is not applying, then something is being overlooked.

In this case, I suspect your facts overlook the fact that population growth is not even across a country. Population growth has grown a lot in places that are more attractive to live in, and declined in areas that are less attractive. For example, in Spain, I read about many abandoned villages going for a song because the population moved to the big city.

In the US, population declined in Detroit and rural areas, and grew in the cities. Housing prices followed those trends.
Good spotto! That's an old WASI runtime from wasmerjs (https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer-js).

That's not the WASI runtime being used in this playground. The one in this playground is @runno/wasi-motor (https://github.com/taybenlor/runno/tree/main/packages/wasi-m...). I haven't released it as an NPM package, but it's all MIT so feel free to copy it.
And GoToSocial is also a nice alternative to Mastodon
I thought IPFS did both; default content-addressing but with IPNS to allow mutability if desired, which means you can use whatever works the best. Did I misunderstand that?
China is not the enemy. That is illusory. China does not want your blood, The US does not want China's blood.

All China and the US want is to be better than the other. That makes them rivals. Very different from enemies. The irony is both rivals practically live in a symbiosis. We are rivals but survival for both China and the US involves mutual cooperation.
That is 100% correct. Energy is never enough. Increase production capacity and people will adjust their lifestyle accordingly and they will not go back.

>>people would say that at some point it’ll get so cheap that it won’t be worth running a meter to track customer usage

A similar case was made about automation. On the first half of the XX century people argued that by year 2000 we would only need to work 1 hour a day, because machines would do the rest. How that turned out? So i'm always very suspicious of arguments where the future holds some sort of cornucopia.
Add some cream to your coffee.
It was mostly an incoherent ramble. No single citation would've cleared it up anyway.
I don't understand this position. The main use case is for serving machine learning models and similar types of data.
A big use case is for researchers who don't want to constantly spend money to try to maintain a link to something they did at an institution they are no longer a part of. Many times they don't even have a mechanism to do so - so the link rot is guaranteed because of centralized systems.
The point is to make it from electrolysis of water.
> Technically we unschooled our kids

I am very interested in unschooling. Can you point to any resources that were helpful to you?

> Your posts imply that you view raising a child as an exercise in optimizing for an outcome

Again, you're putting me into a box a bit. You clearly made choices in how you were raising your children, which means you were satisfying some constraints.

Obviously there is no global maximum, or even a fully ordered set of conditions. Nevertheless, like anyone ought to, I'm considering what conditions I'd like to create.

> What kind of imagination and creativity do you suppose your child will have, or share with you, if you had someone else raise them during the crucial early years? Children learn from the people around them, from birth.

I will take this into consideration, thanks.
Does that effect extend to sexual touch, e.g. masturbation? Has that ever been studied? I realize this is a strange observation.
Searched for Streams of Silver and got a higher priced book as a return than what was available on the site recommended. Seems that was because of the cost of shipping. Though it was only 0.01 more than what was recommended and didn't appear on the results.

Not sure how to takes shipping into account; but really solid results so far!
Ask HN: What would you do if your skills/connections have atrophied?
I'm 32. I have a math degree from a top ten US university and for the last six years have been working a job that earns about 140k a year at a remote job that is essentially meaningless and about ten hours a week? My skills have atrophied. I do all my work in Python/Pandas which I learned the first month on my job and essentially have not expanded my coding skillset since. The company is not a tech company and our projects are ad hoc/disorganized and truly feel out of date if I were thrown into another company.

During this time I have tried to take advantage of the lax schedule to pursue a few side projects that although were interesting (even ended up on front page of HN once) were not sustainable or profitable as their own thing.

Anyone ever been in a similar situation? Did you do a coding boot camp or just search for new jobs? I feel like, given my lack of progress on my skills, the best case scenario for me is to find another job with slightly less pay and way more hours which does not sound fun. Though perhaps in the long run I need to take the dive and go for it.
Is the interest denominated in a fictional currency whose only value is derived from the fact that you have to buy it to participate in this system?

If so, then yes, this system depends on an infinite stream of new customers paying in in order to continue to support the existing ones.
Unfortunately you don't need a citation or evidence to cry racism. A simple accusation is sufficient these days apparently...
CS is the study of computing. There are plenty of Software Engineering programs that focus on how to architect and deliver software products.
Nothing is permanent. IPFS is permanent for your data as long as you run a node in the network hosting it.

Microsoft won't sign EBC drivers, but even before Secure Boot made that difficult I think we'd found a total of 2 EBC UEFI drivers in the real world. It's honestly easier to just embed an x86 emulator.
Do you get the laughing reaction and almost involuntary spasms to retract your feet, or just the unpleasant ticklish sensation on the skin?
Yup. I see this as increasing pressures. What matters is the rate of increase.

Everyone is competing to ensure they are not at the bottom. But:

- will the pressure rise slowly enough to simply pressure those at the bottom to have less children.

- will the pressure rise cause those at the bottom to explode. IE riots in the streets etc

I think the second option as more likely. By definition, those in power are out of touch with those at the bottom.
IPFS never promised anyone they could just put their stuff out there and have it last forever. That's equivalent to free energy. That's the pitch for Filecoin, but not IPFS.

And as far as centralization, you've got a Pareto distribution, no network topology can change that.
