Just in case someone stumbles upon this, here is a great explanation of how CRDTs work that was on HN a few days ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33694568

The secret sauce is the use of a Lamport timestamp (instead of a clock) as a logical time counter, which is a sequence number or local count of the number of writes. The sequence number gets sent by each peer for each write. Most of the time, the CRDT can derive which event happened first by comparing sequence numbers from each peer.

In pathological cases, like two users making a slightly different edit to the same item with the same last-known state on two different devices while they're in a tunnel disconnected from wireless internet, a tie-breaking rule determines which edit wins. That could be as simple as favoring the peer id which comes first alphanumerically.

In practice, peers write to the CRDT and then receive a series of update events that may oscillate or contradict the peer's notion of what happened, until eventual consistency is reached. So in a video game, both players might shoot and think they killed one another until the CRDT determines that one player shot first. As long as the game is stateless and can reflect the last known state received from the CRDT, then it will eventually come to correctly show that one player won. But it might have some undesired animation in the meantime showing the wrong player winning.

Also I suspect that a real game would have a more advanced tie-breaking heuristic that does include some notion of local time. For example, if the max ping is capped at 5 seconds or something, then the CRDT could use dead reckoning to place constraints on when each write could have happened. But it would only be used in rare cases when ordering can't be derived deterministically. It could also use a majority vote from each peer like with Raft/Paxos (I think), but that might stray into something too complex to implement or too vulnerable to cheating.
I don't know which side is doing this, other than I'm pretty sure it's the one with the lower budget. And if one day the parties are in the reversed position, they will both flip sides and be advocating for the opposite of today.

The Dems say there is election fraud if Reps win, and Reps say there is fraud if the Dems win. Both sides are so predictable on all issues: if it benefits them personally, they are for it. If it hurts them personally, they're not. Has nothing to do with us.
Any "neighborhood" car in the U.S. needs decent acceleration and a top speed of 45 mph to work in traffic. Even when the speed limit is 30 mph you'll need to speed up to pass a turning vehicle or to avoid a pedestrian. Anything less just isn't safe for everyone involved.

I'm OK with small size, limited range and even the lack of safety features in my sedate neighborhood where I know the streets, potholes and driving patterns. Perfect for an hour of neighborhood errands with five stops, driving to the gym or the library. That's really all we need in a second car.
Being from Europe. Where they have those tiny <45kph cars for which you don't need a license, thanks but no thanks. People don't get these because they want to. They get them because they cannot get a full license.

So now you're on a road with a 90kph speed limit and this guy pulls in front of you. Maxing out at 45.
I must live a very peculiar life then. All I need is a backpack and a rain coat, it's been 7 years or so and I haven't experienced anything life changing so far

I get on my bike, go to the store, office, friends, &c. rain, snow, sun, wind, it won't kill you really
Since others have brought up religion already, I'll mention that your thoughts here are very similar to a passage in the Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 2:11-12 (https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/2-...).
general tendency in HN is Telegram bad, Signal/WhatsApp is good. Even small mistake made by Telegram will be judged harshly, when it comes to WhatsApp, their mistakes are not important.

Yes I am a Telegram fanboy (how can you not like such a beautiful/fast app, in the Electron world where everything takes 10s of seconds to load)
Politics makes strange bedfellows! We live in a strange enough timeline that it wouldn't surprise me if she was in support of "these people". It would certainly be a choice that would provoke and make people think hard about what it is they truly value.
40 IF I <= 10 THEN 20

Do mean "GOTO 20"? Because if you don't that line either makes no sense or has a "magic" implicit goto that has to be explained. Assuming you meant that as a loop then the equivalent in Python is hardly difficult to understand:

i = 1
print(i)
while i <= 10:
i = i + 1
print("DONE")

Same number of lines of code, `while` has a clearer meaning than the magic of your goto-less line, and is still somewhat clearer (more comprehensible control flow) than the goto version of that line. The only missing thing is the explicit line labels, but that can become a presentation format when discussing the code. Every editor you'd start a student with can show line numbers (and many show line numbers by default).

You don't have to start with "everything is an object", but you will get there quickly. Teaching procedural programming centered on numbers and strings and basic control flow in Python is not a challenge for a competent teacher. And then the language can grow with the learner as they gain understanding of computing and programming.
Oh, it's much better now, but back as a poor college student with time to plan and execute, it was wonderful chaos.
The Gmail image setting is all wrong, though — it also blocks inline images.

The correct solution is trivial if Google cared to implement it: never load remote content in emails. If Google did this, then people would stop including remote content. Problem solved.
You can run Galactica (the "base" model) for free on Colab (https://colab.research.google.com/). It takes about 4 minutes to start up. Just specify a "GPU" runtime on colab, and follow the simple instructions from their github (https://github.com/paperswithcode/galai):

!pip install galai

import galai as gal

model = gal.load_model("base")

model.generate("Scaled dot product attention:\n\n\\[")

Money Supply (M1,M2) Explained
Ask HN: What are you giving this year? What are you asking for this year?
I always get good ideas for what to give, and what to ask for, from HN threads. Are you giving, or asking for anything interesting this year?
This, gonna be a huge waste of time for everyone, since 99.99999999% of those things will involve people selling their used crap on ebay.
> who this is for

I've seen a few of these around my city. Also Twizy's and a bunch of 50cc ICE cars that you can drive with a moped licence.

From my admittedly anecdotal information, it's mostly -90%- "rich kids". I mean, I don't know if they are rich, obviously, but they are teenagers in at least nice areas. I've even seen some of them around the tiny cars using them as a bit of status item.

They don't need to carry much luggage, they don't need to carry more than 1 lucky friend / love interest, and they don't need to go very far or that many places.
I'm guessing something hate-related or actually illegal.
Paredit made a massive difference when I was writing Lisp. It does take some getting used to, but pretty sure it was a net positive after a week of use.

I actually started enabling it when writing other languages (Python/C++) to see if it could do its magic there.
US Bureau of Land Management – What We Manage
> in celebration of a great professional victory,

At first I was intrigued about why did that guy call all this industrial protectionism act as something "professional", afterwards I saw that he is an active part of the industrial defence complex (he's a National Security Council staffer), so that started to make a little bit more sense.

I'm wondering though for how long will the MIC ghouls continue to have the upper hand in this. There are huge opportunity costs to be paid by the side that goes all "Corn Law League" on something as fundamental to our age as grains were ~200 years ago, but, then again, when said pro-protectionism side also controls the media, which means no Cobden [1] to take it all down, the US could be in for the long-haul.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Cobden
This type of "car" is quite popular in Sweden. You might think that such a cheap "toy car" would be for people with low income, but they're quite popular among teenagers younger than 18 (age limit for car driving license) in affluent neighborhoods.

We also have a different class of "car", an "A-traktor". They're usually normal cars that have had their top speed limited to 30 km/h among with some other modifications, and are classed as tractors. They used to need a flatbed necessitating a more extensive rebuild, bud that changed a while ago so now we have Volvo V70 and Porsche Cayennes (and a Scania 164 Topline V8) with 15 year olds as drivers.

“Overemployed” Programmers Are Earning Multiple Full Time Salaries
His ideas do not scale, so while they may help an individual here and there, they are not helpful for society on the whole. Just my opinion.
Does the cannabis industry (the beneficiaries of most the loans I think were farmers) have anything to do with this? Is it a totally clean industry now?
I remember a few years ago some more dynamic presentation modes making a bit of a splash. I used one of them[1] to good reception in at least one talk, but ultimately it felt more like really slick slide-to-slide transitions than a fundamentally different paradigm.

Hard disagree. Always provide me maximum information. If there is a chance I can pre-consume some of the content, I am more likely to better follow what the speaker is presenting and learn more than if everything is fresh.

Audience can choose to not do the pre-reading (most will not), but for those who want it, allows for deeper appreciation of the talk.
The idea is that they're not intended to be used in most vehicle traffic. Their intended purpose is more like the way people use golf carts in the US. And often, they fall under the same or similar regulations. If you look at the spec sheets, really the main difference between these and a golf cart are the doors.

There's nothing wrong with that, if that's what you need. But it ain't a car, at least not for people in North America.
> A bullet has more kinetic energy because it's significantly faster than a bike

Confirmed. Kinetic energy is E = 1/2 m v^2.

A bullet might have v = 1000 m/s, m = 0.01 kg, E = 5000 J.

A bicycle with rider might have v = 5 m/s, m = 100 kg, E = 1250 J.
"Rich Dad, Poor Dad" good parts can be summarized in one sentence: "Start saving money and invest what you save". The rest of it is just bullshit.
Fly over the private land at 500’ until you reach public land, descend the helicopter, have a party on the public land and stick two fingers up at the arseholes trying to claim it for themselves by buying up the surrounding land and denying road access. Make sure you have a nice ex-military security team with you in case the arseholes decide to get pushy. Thank you for flying with FU Airlines.
That book is the perfect stupid people's detector
Sounds like a difficult thing to debug for a dev. A very complicated model with so many factors at play.
I used to own a motorcycle and I commute with a bycicle in ~mediteranian climate.

The only two accidents I've ever had on a motorcycle were low speed manuvers in heavy rain when I got caught by a shower.

On a bike just riding on a slippery road is terrible and wading through umbrellas, getting splashed by cars in traffic, rain in the eyes.

Riding on two wheels makes you extremely exposed - ebikes are just shit motorcycles (especially self built ones) and have a higher accident rate statistics from what I can tell.

If you're not aware how risky it is compared to a car you are you are being delusional.

I really hoped that Xenogenesis series would gain one more volume. I think Octavia would have written it if not for her untimely death. The last book seems to end too abruptly. Still _well worth your time_ to read the whole series if you haven't already.
Sodium ion is a better fit for houses and grid storage than vehicles or consumer electronics.
Here is an example: https://www.mailpoet.com/blog/stop-sending-emails-to-inactiv...

But there are lots of incentives here, for example in HubSpot you pay per “marketing contact” which are people to whom you can send emails. If I flag someone as not a marketing contact, it saves me money.
> perfectly true and still invalid

LOL. In other words, it's only "valid" if it supports your POV? Because you just admitted that "true" isn't part of the criteria.
Right. People are acting as though 1995 is early, but it's like figuring out there will be another major European war on Christmas Day 1939. No shit, the Nazis have already conquered Poland.

The Internet is the Third Network. Figuring this out in 1974/75 counts as clairvoyance since most of the technologies (e.g. TCP exists but IP takes until 1978) don't exist yet and nor does the terminology, although in hindsight things are coming together. Figuring it out in 1985 is still very impressive, by that point there's a significant TCP/IP network but it's unclear whether this North American idea triumphs - if you had confidence you could have made some smart investments and made yourself a lot of money. Figuring it out in 1995 is barely even noteworthy. "Eternal September" the point when there are constantly so many new people that it's always like the first weeks of a new year of university students on the Internet, began in 1993.
Same article from Dec of 2020. Lots of promises, but no tangible product.
Definitely not a minor thing. Reading the headline I thought this was a lawsuit about 2 different people named Eugene and Debs.
What makes you think she would assert that?
It was indeed very unexpected. The first time you would try out a cli tool you’d expect just calling its name to return help info and maybe an error.
I think Pascal implementations are practically dominated by Delphi and FPC these days (FPC has Delphi compatibility mode).

On the other side, there are more players in C/C++ club: GCC, Clang, MSVC, Pelles C, LCC Win32, AMD C++, Intel C++, etc. Having a standard is certainly useful.

It's a resume that speaks for itself.
His book is largely a work of fiction that happens to have some, frankly rather simple and not that insightful stuff in there.

Good advice can be and is often simple, so that's not really a criticism. My problem is that he then ran with that as a platform to 'Always Be Right' when actually he's not really very qualified or experienced above some real basics.

He's a charlatan cruising on a few good phrases.
Is it "increase the standard of living " when it decreases your life expectancy, physical shape, made the city unliveable for pedestrians, potentially fuck up the climate for the next few hundred years, &c ?

At some point we have to look in the mirror and make choices for ourselves, and yes, lots of people became absolutely pathetic excuse of human beings, if you can't stand the rain I'm sorry but you definitely are a cry baby.

What's the end goal of this pursuit of "quality of life" ? Living in a matrix style pod, being fed food through your veins while being sedated and transported into the metaverse ?

If you can't imagine a world without cars and the idea of using a bike repulses you because "rain" you're the problem, or at least a very big part of it
I'm sorry for the loss of your brother.

We're already well off the rails of the original post here, but I do want to say that I share your anger at evangelicalism. Their fundamentalism has made the name of Christianity synonymous with hate and corruption in the US. So...you will find company in your anger with us, too.

You might also be interested in Regrid, https://regrid.com/

They started as a Detroit-only grassroots effort called "Why don't we own this?", tracking property auctions and helping locals buy adjacent parcels when they came available.

But quickly they realized this data was powerful once it was easy to access. Which was no mean feat -- every locality has their own terrible way to store parcel data, it seems, and it's a ton of work to gather and unify it. But once they've done that work, they can charge a bit to access it in scriptable and exportable ways, but the browser interface remains free.

Personally I think the government should just fund the operation and make all the access free, because this is fundamentally everyone's data, and unifying it should be the government's job. But in the meantime, I've never found myself needing more than the free access.
this is a golf cart pretending to be a car.
Economy is clearly on shaky footing.

My child has a sore throat, and my doctor tells me there's an antibiotics shortage. First time in my young life I've heard of an antibiotics shortage.

I work in construction, housing, and there are materials shortages causing price increases and delays.

My parents are talking about retirement, how the recent crash has made them reassess their position. I remind them there's a lot of folks looking to retire, looking to sell their assets, a drag on securities.

US Dollar is tied to productivity - now headlines are saying there is uncertainty in productivity measurements.

We could be in for a bumpy ride. If you're looking to retire, inflation could eat your lunch. Kiyosaki's target audience is in that age range.
org mode with paredit for the lisp source blocks is a life changer! but it does highlight the deficiencies of other languages (and their editors) when one has to write/edit R, python, etc... Then again, being able to do so in the same file is a major win.
I still feel safer in a golf cart than on a bike
Those sound like two very different individuals, or like they chose very different sets of learning materials/teachers. The difference between Python and JS for that is almost nonexistent except that it can't be used (directly, or at least not easily) as the frontend for a web application (in the browser).

> The reason i think lies in something more deeply cultural: He think Python is the only thing he should know, nothing else is needed.

That's the problem, then. And it's also not part of Python "culture", it's his problem (but not just his, others fall into the same trap). I've had plenty of colleagues who swear by C, C++, Javascript, <language of their choice> and are incompetent or barely competent in any others. He made a mistake, which is unfortunate. He would have benefited from a mentor (or a better mentor if he had one). Real programmers understand that languages mostly don't matter except with regards to the libraries they have access to or the platforms they run on.
> A feud between Landgrave Louis III of Thuringia and Archbishop Conrad of Mainz, which had existed since the defeat of Henry the Lion, intensified to the point that King Henry VI was forced to intervene while he was traveling through the region during a military campaign against Poland. Henry decided to call a diet in Erfurt, where he was staying, to mediate the situation between the two and invited a number of other figures to the negotiations.

So… was the feud resolved at all by the incident? It may have taken key players / drivers out and the absurdity of the situation might have given all parties a reason to pause. On the other hand it could have made it worse. I will investigate behind a proper keyboard in a bit, but if anyone else here knows please quench my curiosity.
Utterly bizarre. What's "Word base"? What does the Y-axis represent? What are the shaded areas?

These are either real diagrams that have been stripped of their legends and so rendered meaningless, or they are Arnell-Pepsi time-cube nonsense that never meant anything in the first place.

Wasn't Business Insider a respected publication? What the hell is going on? Am I awake right now?
Looking around my city in the onX app makes me really sad. So many historic trails have been sold to investors and are now being blocked/developed…
But all of those optimizations can also be done, and more efficiently, by transforming while reading. Even if they're as fast as they can be, they're not as fast as a memcmp. The C# approach isn't buying you any performance here.
I think we would have been better off if ipv6 just lengthened the address fields and left it at that.
I built one myself. I've yet to find a site that doesn't support it. I'm sure there are some out there, but in practice attestation isn't a big problem.

> The last thing I want is some random camping in my backyard.

Story: A regional gov agency bought a large tract of land behind my home for conservation. A fireline was cut all around the edge of the tract and lined with a 4' wire fence that ran adjacent to our properties. Homeowners were unitedly happy the land wouldn't be developed but some were upset it was now available for public daytime use.

Two disgruntled neighbors in particular stand out. One was a new mom who was alone all day and was unsettled with folks hiking past her backyard. The other was a generally cantankerous old guy who felt his right of privacy ought to extend far into land that wasn't his.

Whenever my kids and I hiked the fireline, we made a point of venturing away from the alone-mom's property but didn't extend the same courtesy to the old guy. Though we had a right to walk any part of the tract we wanted, we found respecting alone-mom's concerns was worth the effort.

My moral here is that demanding every last nanometer of rights - while rejecting all notions of consideration - is usually too absolutist to be productive. When conflicting desires are in play, I feel consideration+efficiency leads to more workable agreements.
This is a content farm advertisement for presumably more complete works. The fascination with Japan here is always bizarre. Anyways, they left out most of the Middle East and Africa while ignoring the norms of specific industries and organizations. Reductive cultural distillation based on specific anecdotes is the entire game. Frankly, we should be happy for 'cultures' not present in this rubbish.
Sorry, but characterizing Freedom to Roam as allowing people “camping in my backyard” is indeed FUD. Words like “my backyard” have a reasonable definition, and you can’t just redefine them at will (i.e. redefine “my backyard” to mean “my whole property”) to make the statement technically true.
Can you provide a link to corroborate this is the typical [sad] battery vaporware?

> A good writer doesn't just think, and then write down what he thought, as a sort of transcript. A good writer will almost always discover new things in the process of writing. And there is, as far as I know, no substitute for this kind of discovery. Talking about your ideas with other people is a good way to develop them. But even after doing this, you'll find you still discover new things when you sit down to write. There is a kind of thinking that can only be done by writing.

Exactly the same is true for coding.
It still steers and controls the discussion. If people perfectly understood the preread, there would be no need to present it
