IMO, Perl is perfect for this purpose. A good thing about Perl is, it doesn't really changed any more. So no need to spend time keeping up with latest developments like Ruby or Rust.
You could actually write a self-referential tweet without the edit button somewhat easily. Tweet ids are predictable, especially if you can calculate the underlying rate that people tweet at, which is quite doable given the structure of a Snowflake[1] id. At least one Twitter engineer I know used this property to generate their own self-referential tweet around 7 or 8 years ago.

I’m slowly working my way through the FastAI deep learning course right now. In that course, everything is a nail and deep learning is a hammer — which makes sense, because it’s a course about deep learning.

As a total noob, I’m curious: how do you know when to pick a particular AI approach for a problem?

E.g. decision trees. Are they preferred when features must be well-defined? When data is smaller? When individual steps need to be observable? Etc.

RTSP completely lacking on battery powered devices which they don't clearly state anywhere. In fact the battery/solar powered units are practically useless as there is a huge delay in footage after detection so you will miss people/events.
I don't know how common it is to own your living space in the US, but where I'm from, it is fairly common. And I don't think "how expensive per square foot" is applicable when you aren't renting.

But either way, you won't be paying more in rent and/or utilities for having an extra box in your closet.
Engineering is all about designing stuff that will break under specific situations. 150ATM with a safety factor of 2 or more needs to be stronger than 220ATM with a safety factor of 1.

This is one of the reasons nuclear power plants have relatively low power plant efficiency, they want more headroom before stuff breaks.

>This analogy is wrong, she tells us, because households are currency users while the government is the currency issuer: it spends its currency into existence.

Starting off with wrong vs wrong? How about a place like Greece who does not control their own currency; whose spending is not issued currency at all? Ever. Who absolutely must balance their budget not only by obligation but by necessity.

In a country who does control their currency, you don't necessarily issue currency as spending. You do tax and therefore the majority of each budget isn't issued currency. Aka 'printing money' which is more digital than printing today than when the saying was produced.

>Of course, the fact that the government can manufacture its own currency does not mean that there are no limits to its spending; but deficits are not evidence of overspending, inflation is.

Not really true neither. When a country can issue their own currency, there is practically no limits on spending. If you had a myriad of fantastic ideas you could do it. You would easily get away with it. The problem is that the vast majority of ideas out of politicians are not good ideas. Therefore if they were to spend too much, the wealth destruction from those holding the currency would assassinate said politicians quite quickly.

>Once we fully aknowledge the role of the government as the currency issuer, it becomes clear that the sum of all past fiscal deficits—what we call the "National Debt"—really isn't a debt in the usual sense of the term. It is "nothing more than a footprint from the past", a statement of the total amount of currency issued by the government to date.

Not quite right. If as the government took on significant debt to produce something that is a net-generator of money. Which is common, OPG for example takes on big debt when building a nuclear power plant but then pays it off by selling the electricity.

Like for example https://tradingeconomics.com/canada/government-debt , lets say Canada didn't spending $300 billion on sending paycheques to no end at all and never actually did the stupid lockdown to begin with. But we still took on historic levels of debt causing tremendous inflation.

Instead they built the new Canadian moon base where the canadian government is responsible for getting you to the moon. The cost to get you to the moon to start a new life would be a nominal cost, profitable to the gov. There is no question such an endeavor would produce far greater wealth then the debt of today. Such a decision would be good.

The reality though is that $300 billion was literally nothing more than buying votes. It won't generate any new revenues and very little will ever be recaptured as taxes anytime soon.

>This framework starts from a simple accounting axiom: "everything comes from somewhere and everything goes somewhere". Seen from the perspective of a government's finances for instance, this leads to what Godley and Kelton playfully call the "one-equation model of the world":

Which is absolutely wrong in a fractional banking system.
You assume people are thinking this many steps forward. Wearing a button up shirt and tie doesn’t make your brain work faster in the office, but people do it anyway for the show. It doesn’t have to be rational, it’s just how people think. Taking photos with phones looks casual/unprofessional regardless of how good the phone is at taking photos.

> This change would break that expectation, for what benefit? This could be implemented as a HTTP call instead

The main benefit is not having to rely on a centralized HTTP server and repository, as well as the associated infrastructure: DNS, TLS, CA, etc. One could host a blog over torrents (more or less what IPFS is doing).

We already have RSS feeds for what you describe (though not supported natively by transmission).

> My own expectation is that if I have a torrent file/magnet link and I download from it, I always get the same content.

That wouldn't change significantly. The mutable torrent content is basically a .torrent that points to whatever the current version is; so just save that instead.

The good thing with mutable torrents (or mutable content in the DHT, as pointed out in another comment) is that instead of the hash (content-addressing) being stored in the DHT, a public key is retrieved. Once you got a torrent ("trust on first use" of sorts), you can verify that the new version is from the same uploader (or at least, one that knows the private key).

I would present it with a new set of checkboxes in the torrent client: "download new versions", then if checked "delete previous version after downloading updated content" and for more granularity "download new files", "download updates to existing files". Of course, for ease of use it would be better to have a historical view. I think the main use-cases would be to archive every intermediate version, or to just grab whatever is latest. There's infinite variations in-between.
One thing I would like to stress, and that I didn't point out enough in my original comment is that this goes extremely well with v2 torrents and their de-duplication feature: if the same file exists in multiple versions of the torrent, peers with any version can contribute to the swarm.

It's not as good for deduplication as a rolling hashes could be, but you could host whole distribution repositories with mutable v2 torrents.
And strangely enough, that previous HN thread is [flagged]... It seems a lot of high quality articles are [flagged] nowadays? Or am I only noticing this because I'm mindful of my own submissions being [flagged] a lot ?

I really like the concept of tithing (broadly, putting 10% of incomes toward a larger project) and wish it was used more generally for taxation, funding projects, local development, etc. The simplicity and “human comprehensibility” makes it much more attractive than other, more complex funding and taxation methods.
If that is your biggest regret, don't you reckon that you have a very good life so far? (I'm assuming that you live a comfortable lifestyle right now.)
> Besides the hassle that the paper tickets were (they become unreadable if you look at them wrong)

Or the paper ticket is even slightly bent. Or bent in half. Or mildly wet. Or a corner is folded. Or sometimes it looks fine but just won't work. Or it works at one station but not another.

I say all that because each situation happened to me on my visit to Barcelona this summer :)

I also had a problem where I had to basically rebuy a new 10-trip ticket twice within a day of each other, because the first got folded in a bag, and the other I thought I misplaced (only to find it at the absolute bottom of a heavily packed shopping bag). Oh and the one day I tried to get my folded ticket replaced, the only station I passed through was closed early! How convenient :)

Basically, those paper tickets WERE a pain. But I don't like the new photo ID cards they're introducing either. Good luck I suppose...
Can’t just send out checks like that so no. But also the implication here is that someone shouldn’t undertake any action that might be perceived as popular near a mid-term election, which begs the question then why would anyone be allowed to do anything popular or critical during the same time frame? Should we have a moratorium on all of these “Biden is raising your taxes” ads since we are saying it’s unfair for him to undertake a popular action?

And then why limit it to elections. Why not ever?
Every time I’ve lived in an apartment or condo the whole building smelled like trash. They need a better solution for managing waste disposal instead of a stinky room on every floor.
There was a panic circa 1980 about the longevity of color cinema film. Martin Scorsese pointed out the cultural loss but it was also a big dollar and cents loss because home video was on its way as a way to turn old movies into cash.

People looked at quite a few different answers, including copying the movies and separating them into three films, one for each color, but the problem was simply solved when people discovered you can greatly extend the life of dyes by storing them in the freezer.

You have to keep them out of light also. Conversely, high temperatures accelerate aging. I have a room in my house (an old farmhouse with uncontrolled humidity) which is very bright and somewhat intemperate (and also has a lot of indoor wildlife) and I’ve found prints made with fugitive dyes fade badly in six months — I didn’t get mad instead I use it for accelerated aging tests, I make two prints and store one in the dark and put the other in the wall.

Counterexample: Kiwi Farms, which transitioned to a distributed hosting setup across a variety of providers after the recent Kerfuffals. But that was more to avoid a single point of failure than to mitigate latency concerns.

And yes, efforts are ongoing to identify and punish the hosting providers involved, their principals, and their principals' families.

More apt would be: hindsight is a b.

Everyone has a tendency to evaluate the past with today's knowledge and experience. That's a fallacy. You didn't so much "lose" 10 years, it just took 10 years to come to an understanding about a meaningful part of your life. And maybe you really needed all that time to arrive there.

In my book, regret means you've learned something about your past but you're still trying to change the past. Which you can't. What matters is how you're going to leverage your wisdom going forward in a meaningful way.
I take it to mean that everyone has a situation that they could have handled better, and it took them quite a few years to really fix the situation. Perhaps it was something that affected them mentally, and they finally overcame it, or perhaps it ended up being a physical or financial hardship.

Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone makes a few big mistakes.

The key is not to beat yourself up over it. Learn from the mistake and do better in the future.
It means that if you add up the regrets (for example, staying in a bad job or not doing X for Y years) then it will come up to about 10 years for everyone. Maybe your 10 years are still ahead of you, or perhaps some of them are behind you but you didn't realize that yet as you haven't seen the consequences yet.
That comment section in github is just littered with stupid.

If you have a dependency like this that could be production breaking then lock it down. Do not upgrade it without someone looking at it. Or have a set of tests that do that for you.

Axios broke something but who cares. If your build broke or your application broke then you have something to fix not the axios devs.

It is too bad github does not have a "put on your bigboy pants" icon.
How do you all keep track of ideas? Do you categorize them somehow and store them?
I agree that's a dependency, but I am not sure how much more useful it would be comparatively?
Government as a set of services you pay towards, some of them optionally, might be an interesting way to get people to vote for new/to maintain things: with their wallets.
Once made a quick $5k, because a former client had started using CD-RW for their "enterprise" backups, 10-years later they had unreadable data and contacted me to see if I still had some source-code.

Checked my stack of hard-drives, and... Yes... yes, I did have a working copy.

That cemented it in my personal world - NAS with also HD's is the way to go.

I’ve got a home lab with proxmox as the hypervisor. I’m running openwrt (x86) for my household router (in a qemu VM) and I’ve got transmission running in a (lxc) container. When the transmission container boots up, it gets its IP address via DHCP (server in openwrt). I configured dhcp to allocate the same lP address to the container every time. You could also just use a static ipconfig in the container.

Within openwrt, I’ve installed WireGuard and OpenVPN for accessing different vpns.

Finally, again in openwrt, I installed the policy based routing package[1]. This package makes it super easy to route all traffic from the transmission container to the VPN network.

There are probably many ways you could do this, but this setup is great for me!

You want to ask the author to change the commit you are interested in and then review the diff to that commit.

This is if course mostly valuable if you don't squash commits on merge. Otherwise, the extra rebase work isn't that valuable.
No so broad a notion of 'culture', mainly cultural 'content'. This can be, and it is tweaked (worldwide), as needed. Cinema/TV in US has always been a leading indicator of societal change, rarely a lagging indicator. So it has always been, in a sense, understood and used as a pedagogical platform.

They actually tried this in US starting in late 80s and 90s, when we got a slate of 'geeks who get babes, and social acceptance' movies - War Games, Real Genius, Revenge of the Nerds, Weird Science, Hackers, etc.

[p.s. didn't finish that thought! /g]

But imho this was the wrong set of adjustments. The inducements - sex, money, and social acceptance -- are certainly attractive, but any kid with half a brain can note that there are far easier and certainly more exciting ways than learning -- culturally celebrated ways, yo -- to get that very same set of inducements. It did however get us to the geek hero celebrity stage, with Jobs and now Musk.

Yes!! This drove me nuts.

Not only are there different UIs, but the physical UX differed sometimes too! I really, really want to know who's idea it was to implement the rollbar they have on the machines, because that absolutely does not work well. And the fact it rolled on one machine up and down, and on the next it's reversed??

I hate buying mobile tickets but sometimes it's just so much more convenient.
I believe there are still some very specific scenarios in which is used, probably by Banks and in the domain of control theory.

There were news that in early 2000 it was still running the whole Hong Kong airport.

In Italy where I live, up to 2010 if not later, you could still find kiosks for buying railway tickets that were powered by OS/2. These kiosks were quite bulky because they had CRT touch screens! The CRT screens were mounted on a vertical rack inside the kiosk which had two axis, horizontal and vertical, and when you pushed the screen to tap a button the two axis would feel the pressure and would be able to identify the area of the screen that you pushed and to pass coordinates to OS/2 as if you were using a PS/2 mouse. Of course not as precise as a smarphone touchscreen, but those UI used fairly large buttons and everything was working perfectly.

In Italy I think I kept on spotting old ATMs running OS/2 until at least 2015.

I know of a large Bank, this time not Italian, that was still using OS/2 for its tellers probably around 2012. They were using a Web application already, but browsing it via a Firefox port for OS/2 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Ports/os2 They needed to do so because of certain legacy devices (cash dispensers, check printers) which only worked with OS/2.

The hobbes archive still recevies updates and uploads with os/2 software:

I would never think about regrets, my own or those of others. While there is always the lure of capitalizing on the knowledge, it's rarely worth it. Thinking about negative things (that is a regret after all) in the past is pointless -- you can't change it and you don't know where your life would be if you 'just made that one change'. Changing your own life based on other people's regrets will yield unpredictable results. Live in the present and think about the future. Avoid regrets. They are a trap.

While at a house party during summer break while in college, my summer-time girlfriend and a girl I had dated in high school started making out and I was so surprised about it that I missed an opportunity for a threesome. I later talked about it with them and they admitted that they were thinking about it and would have done it if I had suggested it. Can't tell you how many times I've regretted not acting that night.
My original thought was something like: if you make tax rates uniform and easily understandable (e.g. 10% flat rate for everything and everyone) and remove all deductions, exceptions, etc. then you would get less tax avoidance/minimization and ultimately more tax revenues. But I’m not a tax accountant or economist and I haven’t done the math on this. At the very least, the entire infrastructure would be far more transparent and efficient.

I don't really "believe" in regret.

At each and every point in my life, I was working with the information I had at my disposal, each information having its own "weight" in my mind. Every mistake I've made has brought some information in my mind that wouldn't have been brought otherwise. Fantasies of "changing the past" are seductive, but ultimately pointless.

The only way I could justify having regrets, is reminding yourself of some mistake that should not be repeated in the future. Alas, most regrets I see written by other people are things that will not repeat, e.g. spending your youth doing <X> instead of <Y>, not talking to your <Z> enough, not investing in <W> before its price went rockets... There's just no point.
Wow I would write how much I agree with all of these points based on my experience but I’d effectively be copying the page!
