It's too bad that people think cryptocurrency is for speculation.
None of the big ones. That's almost by definition.

There are certainly some smaller companies that are ethical, often involved with open source or other business models that don't screw the customer to benefit the shareholder.
I have bad news about the rest of the planet.
oh boy, where to begin? very long story short, yes. yes I have.
Are you unaware of the walking around unless you look at the watch? Just curious, it’s a big ambiguous from the wording.
It was a war that served few people, not even the Kaiser in the end.
Not dead. They had Ethereum on FTX it seems, moved to Coinbase Custody earlier this week: https://twitter.com/gordongoner/status/1591107889728471043
How about this - verification for $8 or however much, and to be verified you need to upload a picture of your ID and a selfie from the front and both sides. Then someone at Twitter checks these and verifies that they match, and you're only allowed to use the name on your ID.
You could probably use image recognition to do this, and offload to a real person when the certainty is low.

Brands have a lot more money, and it's more labour-intensive to verify them, so they could be charged a lot more.
You made that type artificially abstract by leaving out the type names, which in a nominally-typed language are a first-class part of the type signature, not arbitrary symbols you can leave out.

This is the actual type of Haskell's dictionary lookup:

k -> Map k a -> Maybe a

I don't know about you, but that's pretty self-explanatory to me.
They have a real issue of choosing physical constants which aren't really constants, some models get it more right, others get it wrong and some are just unreadable so I couldn't get a conclusion.

There are also other issues, some code is clearly untestable, the whole thing is written in incoherent merged up pieces so you might be using different constants / calculations for the same grid location from different modules. NASA GISS code looks even worse, but I couldn't link to GitHub it's only available as tar gz download. They have even worst stuff there.

And remember the entire calculation is meant to measure the effect of changing CO2 which is only 0.0042% of the atmosphere. You need very high accuracy in everything in the first place to get the real effect rather than the model drifting into an alternative climate of imaginary world with different constants. And then remember that the real system is chaotic and the only signal that they claim to get is the average over many different simulations all drifting in average temperatures, over decades. The way the code is written there's just no way it's suitable for these kinds of predictions. And actually in most cases these models weren't built to predict climate over decades.
I always thought trilobites might taste nice.
In a British style constitutional monarchy, the crown is supposed to exercise executive power only on the advice of ministers who command the confidence of the House of Commons or equivalent. Kerr appointed a prime minister who manifestly did not command the confidence of the House of Representatives, then acted on advice from that prime minister. This was a suspension of democracy.
I'm sure they took privacy and data security very seriously, but they do have a Reputation.

People I talk to thought of it as a telescreen, not a video conferencing tool. That probably hurt sales.

I wonder if Meta could have made better pivots if they had accepted and embraced their untrustworthy image.

> bad/wrong advice/information look totally legitimate and become part of the conversation

Ironically, I don't think that's correct. HN is good because the signal-to-noise is very high, and comments that violate guidelines or otherwise don't meet community standards get downvoted. While contrarian opinions may get caught up in that, the goal is not to suppress "misinformation" which is mostly only a pretend political problem anyway. On forums like this, even the strawman of "the average person isn't smart enough to be allowed to think for themselves" which is used to justify censoring bigger platforms doesn't apply. People can easily make up their own minds.

Downvoting is about community standards, not misinformation policing.

I am guessing that you wouldn’t see a type signature like this in a real codebase. The type signature of Data.HashMap.Strict.lookup is

(Eq k, Hashable k) => k -> HashMap k v -> Maybe v

which is quite a bit more readable. You can even search Hoogle for x -> HashMap x y -> y and find it, try it!

>>4 times this guy went to speak at TED and 4 times he produced lies and exxagerations.

You wouldn't even bat an eye if this wasn't Musk, and if Musk hadn't become person non grata amongst the circles that the author travels in. Of course TED talks are going to be aspirational, and present goals that are never realized.

This extreme vilification of Musk is utterly disingenous and clearly motivated by something other than the content of his TED talks, and that "something" is his goal to restore free speech to Twitter, as the author alludes to with her "transphobic" and "wreaking havoc" references, which point to her wanting Twitter to be her safe space, with her own ideology's conception of things, like gender, being the only allowable basis for how people communicate.

Given what Musk has achieved, he deserves credit, and not this bad faith hyper-critical lens that the author and her anti-"rich white guy" (her own words) ideology see him through. People like her, with her false accusations and extremist and ideologically motivated smear campaigns, need to be pushed out of polite society until her crowd realizes that it's not an acceptable way to behave as an adult.
I agree with you to some degree, but I've built an abstracted data layer in literally every project I've worked on since I learned it was a good practice around 20 years ago and I still have yet to be on a project where we actually needed to replace the database. I've moved plenty of databases from on-prem to PaaS, but never switching DB technology itself through an abstraction layer.

That's not to say I haven't had to replace data storage, but they were never built as layers and inevitably it happens when moving from mainframes to more modern systems. At this point at least some of my abstraction feels like a waste of time. Maybe when we start moving to Quantum Databases someone will benefit from my extra due diligence from a decade ago.
If they're going to refund your purchase without hassle (which seems to be the case) then why would you lose trust in the company? If anything it should strengthen your trust in the company since it might've been stolen after delivery?
The West is going to get owned by information attacks every time if it doesn’t learn a lesson.
Anyone can use any word they want as a TLD on their local network. No need to register it on the public Internet.

Just set up a zone in your local DNS and you’re done.

In fact I could even use .bestbuy as a TLD on my own network. The fact that they registered it publicly doesn’t stop anyone from doing this.
hmm, doesn't seem like it. I remember seeing functionality to like, drag a rectangle into existence. Thanks though.
Fried has a point. Or is it a rant? ;)

In any case, "The Design of Business" by Roger Martin does a 10x better job and dispelling the myth of optimization / maximization. It's not that it doesn't matter. It's that there's a point of diminishing return. Martin proposes - in Fried's terms - that instead of trying to get every drop of water from the cloth, you need to start looking for the next cloth that's drenched with water.

I almost mentioned zig as a counterpoint. I’m sure it is a HN bubble thing, but zig does feel like it has a lot of momentum for a grassroots language without a juggernaut supporting development.
Humans, by design, cultivate orthodoxy across cultural lines which usually correlates with emotional investment on the parts of individuals. Put simply, when people can't agree to disagree, they squabble, often viciously.

Downvoting facilitates the formation of islands of like-minded thinkers quickly on websites that allow people to connect to each other (any site with groups/friends). For something like Reddit, which is literally a collection of islands like this, the tool is a good fit for building cohesion. Without downvoting, people will still resort to being unpleasant to each other to create homogeny; they find like-minded thinkers, group together as friends and are unpleasant as a group to people not in the group (how you can have definite cultural groups on twitter).
Yes, you should definitely learn more languages. Don't go crazy, but at least 3. You should probably select languages that will enhance what you already are or would like to do.

From the suggestions that I've seen here and in the professional context, probably Go, as there are many good arguments for it and in general (since no particular goal was given). For someone coming from Python, Go would be easier to learn, offer something different to your present picture, and it would enhance your resume.

Of course, in the non-professional context, you could learn anything. So will give a "shout out" to Vlang (vlang.io). Though in beta, it's a great up and coming language, which is an alternative to Go and C. Vlang would also be a nice addition and smooth transition to or from Go or C.
Funny, Lisa with "s" would be "c" Latin in Russian, which begs the question if the above mentioned error in the wiki is not actually a reverse translation error - hence why they say "Lika" in it, maybe they meant to translate "Lisa" from English to Russian and was like "eh, K or C is the same".
Most remote workers at my company either have a company-provided laptop with a webcam or have a company-provided webcam for their company-provided PC. The only reason someone would buy a Meta Portal would be if their company exclusively did their remote work via Meta’s platforms. Most companies use Teams or Slack anymore, and those can be used with any old webcam and/or a headset. Most folks on my team don’t even turn their webcam on during our weekly stand-up meetings, and we aren’t required to do so.
Kind of absurd that your OS (which is supposed to always be acting in your best interest) enforces these arbitrary carrier data limits -- it's objectively anti-user behavior and wouldn't exist if Android were truly FOSS (emphasis on "free").

This solution is great for permanently bootloader-locked phones (which is unfortunately, most phones).

Alternatively, if installing a custom OS is an option, most Android forks remove the tethering restrictions. I use and highly recommend GrapheneOS [1] if you have a supported phone (Pixels only as of now). DivestOS and LineageOS have much wider device support. ProtonAOSP and CalyxOS are other options for Pixels and a few others.

This has nothing to do with the technology of cryptocurrency. In fact, it's the complete opposite.

What people are doing with FTX is taking their money off of public blockchains and giving them to something like a bank or stock exchange where ultimately customer funds are accessed in secret. This is again, antithetical to cryptocurrency which has the main features of avoiding the necessity of banks for operating with digital money and having a public, mathematically verifiable ledger.

All of this nonsense is people using the interest around cryptocurrency to promote what is essentially gambling.

Some people have even theorized that they were intentionally trying to sully the reputation of the technology since it makes old fashioned financial institutions obsolete, and the family has strong ties to the establishment (with massive investments in old-fashioned financial schemes).
I'm not a recruiter but just to give you hope: Yes, the market looks difficult if you want to work at any of the FAANG companies. The media is giving them lots of screen time and it looks like we're doomed. Yes, it'll be difficult to land +200K and above since these salaries are usually being offered at Fb, etc... Now, there are mid-tier salaries too (75~100k) and there are a steady amount of jobs in that bracket. If you absolutely need something since you can't afford to be without a job, you can look low-tier positions (50~74.9k) and you'll find steadily job positions there too.

In summary, +200k jobs are scarce (FAANG companies), 75~100k and 50~74.9k have steadily job supply.
I didn't say that dogs are both emotional and intelligent, I said they're emotionally intelligent, meaning they can understand the emotions of humans. Pigs and octopuses may be more objectively intelligent than dogs by most measures (problem solving, memory, etc.). But much worse at empathizing with us, so in return, we empathize less with them.
It’s generally best not to speak for large groups of people as you may not understand their context.

I for one (an Australian) want to move to Europe (Greece) because that is my heritage.

Im sure there are other people who are in different circumstances to me but also want to move to Europe.
> Regardless, if NTP alone can't solve your time problems, then you need to really understand what your actual problem is, as there is no guarantee that PTP can solve it either.

Yah... on the other hand, there's a whole lot of applications where precision is a nice-to-have but not a necessity--- e.g. better ordering events between multiple machines without vector clocks, etc, when we're troubleshooting.
"Ferrous metals" means steels of various kinds, or pure iron, which isn't used much these days. 65% is more than 5%.

"Manners" in this forum means providing credible sources to back up your claims. If you have credible sources that contradict Transport Geography, supply them.

There was an intj forum that was kind of like an off topic HN, but it went private years ago.
The question wasn't "what's nic mean?", it was "is buying your own top level domain going to be the new normal?" Presumably if you have enough cash, I'd say yes.
which industry do you work in? I love boring but successful
> how do we explain large but mature codebases

If the codebase/project became "feature complete". Once a project becomes feature complete, then finally bugs are able to be squashed without reintroducing new ones. The code becomes better because the deaign begins to accurately model the program since there is no feature creep.

The problem with large programs is when you _continue_ to add on to them.
Non-open source very rarely gets to the feature complete stage.
Eh. Some customers are shitty and very demanding. Most people don’t want to be in the business of pampering assholes, and plenty of people will take advantage of a business that will do anything to make literally everyone happy. Just go read some bad Yelp reviews of your favorite restaurant and ask yourself if all of those people really deserved to be treated differently.
I am serious about my 2 mentions of downvotes which in turn will cause the 3rd. Kinda snarky but fully true. I have lightly replied to MSDNC comments w/ negative yet factually true statements related to the MSDNC and gotten downvoted. I keep it minimal but politics are a huge part of daily life and technology.

Plenty of crypto is scammy but I believe in a form of currency not backed by bombing brown people and guarding Arab oil investments for profit. Pipe dream? Maybe.
You're right. I should not have judged like that and I apologize. What I should have said is that I have seen a lot of misplaced skepticism in this industry and I never really understood it. There is plenty of room for Arduino to enter this market and develop good products. We'll see what happens.
All things considered it’s bound to be better than most normal people driving if you specifically choose people with good reaction times. And it’s not F1, life and death is rarely determined by 50ms.
What’s the bitcoin ecosystem worth as a collectible?

(Keep in mind that BTC at a low enough valuation is either unmineable and thus can’t be transacted or is mineable for very little money and thus subject to 51% attacks by anyone who is inspired to do so.)
But don't forget that some older individuals, such as myself, lose the ability to easily absorb B12. And a B12 deficiency is not a pleasant thing. Somewhat along the lines of the onset of Parkinson's or ALS. Consequently I take a single tablet every morning that provides over 200,000% of the recommended daily dose...
What address do you think people would send to? You can't send to some random address that you think is owned by an exchange and have it show up in your account. They give you an address to send to when you say you want to make a deposit. How did you think it worked?
Nice, seems useful for airplanes.
> AWS is too complex? Then it is not for you.

But then neither are GCP and Azure. I only know three other decently reliable cloud providers from there, but you also won’t get as much community support nor legal adjustment like GCP does for EU hosting.

You might be right, but that only further explains why it’s such a pain at this point.
I read Carlo Rovelli's book The Order of Time about time, relativity, etc. One of the striking things - that I couldn't fully follow, frankly - was something along the lines of there's a limited cone of spacetime for which you can even tell what relative order things happen in. That there's not a valid concept of "simultaneity" for places far, far, far apart due to speed of light, time dilation, whatnot.

So: just design a game where your players are so far apart that the speed of light is the mechanism that guarantees no interactions between some players. ;)

But more relevantly, this seems to be one of those problems that's been hampered by the slowing of single-core performance. Though disk and memory and network keep getting faster, so I wonder what the absolute limit if a game really focused on processing single state globally above all else would be. Maybe even at high bandwidth the latency to thousands of players wouldn't be good enough to get all the updates out?
> Reasoning to me is a belief, as such, it’s possible to be loyal or for that matter, non-loyal to reasoning. For example, beliefs of religious fundamentalists in my opinion are based on the word of god, not reasoning. Further, even when it would be easier to bend my reasoning to fit narrative that’s better for myself, I strive to reason objectively regardless of its impact on myself. To me, that’s loyalty that’s not born of force, manipulative tactics, and is a valid example of loyalty without error. In the not to distant past, people were killed for their belief in reasoning over the word of god, even today it still happens.

You being "loyal to reason" is just describing your values and has nothing to do with loyalty. You can't redefine the word just because you want to say that the military is full of disloyal people.

> As I said in my original comment, in my experience these issues are common among all militaries, and I am not aware of a solution.

What experience are you speaking of? You don't seem to have any experience that's at all related to these issues; at least you've not shared any.

> That said, in my opinion, it is an issue, like the increased levels of suicide within military that if addressed would have a significant impact on a military being more fit for combat that those who have been unable to address these issues.

They are addressed in the U.S. military. Suicide prevention programs and Mental Health programs are very big things in the U.S. military. I also would not describe it as a "culture of suicide" just because it occurs at a higher rate.
There's one perspective (popular in funtional programming circles) that says data structures simply _are_ a special sort of function; that is, one that take no arguments.

Really, in practice this means data is a partially applied, curried, identity function. Put something in, get the same thing out later, acting as memoization.
It’s easy to assume a dead means you “own” some land, but national borders also define ownership of land by nation states which need things like militaries to defend them but also systems to manage that land such as deed registries, road networks, police and court systems to handle trespassers, and so forth.

Understanding what a deed actually is rather than what it seems like it should help clarify what’s going on here. It’s a landlord setting rent, however governments have more concerns than maximizing revenue.

A government defining what an appropriate rent for land should be has real economic implications for nation states. Under charge and land ends up wasted, charge too much and it ends up abandoned. The sweet spot isn’t about maximizing income it’s about maximizing benefit for society.

Often property taxes are based on total value of the land plus improvements on it which discourages improvements or even maintenance. Thus a sweet spot based on the lands inherent value Aka a land value tax.

In the end land is a finite resource, any nation that wastes it runs into massive problems.
I was thinking about getting a Portal TV for my parents so they can see their grandkids on the big screen. I ended up not going for it b/c if you are watching TV and someone calls on Portal, you need to use your TV remote to switch to the HDMI port your Portal is on and then you have you use the Portal remote to answer the call. You end the call using the Portal remote and then use the TV remote to switch back to watching TV. Even for me, that's too much.

LG seems to have solved this remote switching issue by integrating[1] their TV remote with Portal TV but my parent's cable TV provider, Spectrum, doesn't have an app for LG TVs.

Long story short, we do iPad to iPad calling with FaceTime.

Page 6 answers the question of what are the best predictors of code quality [1]. At least in terms of critical defect density.

This has been known for a long time. It's just not widely known because the data is tough to collect yourself, and the already collected data costs money.

Personally, I like that model because it's broadly applicable, actionable, and based on 35 years worth of industry data.

The blog reaches a self-admittedly partial conclusion, and it's partially correct, so the title should not be taken as a complete statement.

What does the military have to do with the USD?

Many countries had a military and that didn't stop their currencies from completely collapsing.
