Right, written documentary evidence since Roman times shows that currency was measured by count not weight. There was a brief aside in medieval continental Europe when some influential policy makers misinterpreted Roman documents, but by that point the currency was well established.

The value of the constituent metal is dictated by the price (in count) that the mint pays. Nobody pays less because you could go to the mint, and if anybody demands more, you just melt the coin. It was the count that gave value to the metal, not the other way round.

The only evidence for currency from barter comes from the imagination of economists of a particular bent.

It is the same system in Denmark. It started out with good intentions but has now been skewed to create more inequality.

I believe Putin perceived Biden as weak. Big mistake. Both of his more recent adventures were during Democrat administrations. The 2008 Russo-Georgian war was during the GW Bush administration, when the US was busy in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We are talking about tertiary level, right? K-12 they try to make it less abstract, but kids not into it find it boring (some might be future mathematicians and find it boring too!). Money is a good way to make it relevant. Which of these is the best deal? For example.

For advanced mathematics, I guess it has to be abstract. I mean this is the nature of the subject. Normally you are taught group theory with examples of groups like natural numbers or geometric symmetries, but it soon becomes groups derived from other groups etc. To make it non abstract would be to make gymnastics that doesn’t require flexibility or a fighter pilot that doesn’t need to handle high g force.

Speaking as a full-time professional artist (painter) with fine art training in atelier environments, the fine art world finally has come together with a single purpose - to whole heartedly reject ai art, regardless of what you may hear from the "ai art wins art contest headlines". Looking strictly at my margins, engagements on reddit and instagram, major art platforms banning the sale and display of ai art, etc. one thing is perfectly clear: art is human.

First there was photography, then there was digital art, then there was nfts, now there is ai art - after each of these more and more people appreciate the inherent creativity of the non-deterministic nature of the human spirit.

Enjoy your cheap Beksinski imitations if you will, but it's better to go see his work in person in Poland. You will understand the meaning of art.
This reminded me of https://www.reuters.com/article/electronicarts-zynga/update-... , but alas they settled outside of court so we didn't get a precedent on digital palettes in this particular case.

I bet Pantone believes they can copyright a color palette, considering Adobe just pulled their colors out of Photoshop.
It's considered art for the purposes of e.g. copyright law. Recently there was a dispute about whether a selfie taken by a monkey belonged to the owner of the camera, or the monkey. (A judge opined that only humans can have copyrights, and PETA eventually settled out of court.)

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/09/12/550417823...

But most selfies probably aren't high value art.

If Marina Abramovic were to take a bunch of selfies, or generate a bunch of AI images, and exhibit them, that might be considered high value art. A famous artist can literally tape a banana to a wall and it'd be considered high art:

Well, technically he is correct since containers on osx actually run inside a Linux VM, adding some overhead.

Obviously use whatever works for you, but containers on Linux is a different beast and besides better performance offer some other things that some people may find useful (e.g. zfs containers).

Also, the number of moving parts is much fewer. You can run containers right on top of systemd if you want.

I honestly don't think your options should be between Nim and Rust. Nim has a very small community, and almost nobody is hiring for Nim experience. Going through Nim's forum, I think most developers tend to work on Nim projects alone.

If marketability is your priority, learn the popular languages like java, c, c++, golang etc. Even people hiring Rust developers usually have some leeway to hire someone who can learn Rust on the job.

The decision to learn a programming language comes down to three options:

- Popularity

- You are paid to learn

- You are passionate about it, and you don't expect to collaborate with anyone.

Number 3 is the reason why I am learning Nim.
In a free market what you say would also be my position, but we've got a non-free market where the people who own the military are jamming credit into the system like a cook stuffing a chicken and distorting the risks.

We've seen interest rates well below the levels where investment needs to be productive. We've seen that the risk for a highly correlated drop in asset prices is being assumed by taxpayers and/or people vulnerable to inflation (the most recent example is the madness of the stock market shrugging off the effect of COVID policies). There is an interesting question to consider about what happens when that sort of distortion hits a market. In Australia the cases of high debt I've seen haven't generally been linked to construction.

Can you elaborate with some examples of workflows that it is incapable of?

So far I’ve not found any limitations or issues using Ubuntu runners on my OSX dev machine. A couple examples from my workflows:
- building docker images
- provisioning VMs with the Digital Ocean cli / http api
- hardening VMs with ansible
- creating/managing k3s clusters with k3sup
- deploying apps with helm

I like your suggested approach of using tmate to access the worker mid-way through a run. This should make it faster to develop/debug the steps that make up the workflow. Though this doesn’t address the cycle time of push-to-GitHub/queue-workflow/watch-for-result.

I’m actually going to try combining the two techniques - use tmate to develop inside a local act runner.

> I don’t normally come across a HN thread that reads so “cliquey” outside of the crypto community stuff… seeing this sort of stuff about Hydrogen is just weird.

Really. Hydrogen in general is just a weird prospect. Hydrogen from SMR of natural gas has like way higher emissions than just burning natural gas, and massively higher emissions than just using diesel. It has exactly zero uses energy-wise other than as a medium for moving a ridiculous amount of energy quickly. Makes it real nice in things like rocketry and real useless for anything else. The most efficient way to produce it is by using electricity and water, which can make a no-emissions solution for that one niche. If you use gas or oil for electricity, reforming is technically slightly more efficient. In any case, it's always worse than fossil fuels by themselves, unless you use green energy. And cramming greenhouse gases underground doesn't make the situation any better, which everybody knows but for some reason pretends is not true. Digging tunnels and caves and building facilities to store monoxide in is far worse than just burning fossil fuels as fuel in the first place. This is a fairly doomed industry, because it has no point in an environmentally sustainable future.

Math is frequently taught by skipping the underlying definitions...in other classes. Those other classes take the fun and useful results and leave the actual math class with the difficult, tedious process of learning mathematics rigorously.

It's like learning programming by first learning how transistors work, then microprocessors, then assembly language, then compilers, etc. While across the hall, the engineering department is learning Python directly.

But I think it is necessary, because rigor is why mathematics is useful. We can (and do) teach statistics without calculus, but the result is often bad stats and bad science.

> So, I can't help but feel that all these languages are trying to solve that last couple percent, and paying a huge price in perf or programmer productivity to do it

I'm the first to admit that Rust has a steep learning curve. But now that I'm proficient in it, and as a long time C++ programmer, Rust is easily 2x more productive for me, and WAY more enjoyable. For large/complex codebases, the gap is even bigger IMO. But yeah, it takes a lot to get over that initial hump. It really helps to have a mentor for the first couple months.

Exactly, the effect of such a law would be to incentivize building mansions. And the savvy owners may even go the route of forming collectives of mansion owners.

Effectively. Less efficient than SMR (ideally 253 kJ/mol against 206 kJ/mol, microbes consume more, so even less so), produces literal CO₂, uses fossil fuels and is in any case has higher emissions than green hydrogen ever will. Or diesel. Or gasoline. Seems like a fairly bad idea.

But 24h is probably the sweet spot.
> But it would still be much better than the status quo, which is hydrogen from fossil fuels, with the CO2 being emitted 100%.

This produces the same amount. Actually, steam reforming is more efficient energy-wise, consuming 206 kJ/mol instead of the 253 kJ/mol this ideally consumes. Since the microbes are not being fed electricity, that comes out of the same fossil fuels, giving us an even worse, actually much worse, carbon / hydrogen ratio. The emissions are higher and storing the gas is no easier or harder than with ordinary SMR from natural gas or oil. We absolutely can and do store the CO from SMR, consuming many times the energy stored in the hydrogen coming out.

It's really no solution at all and just a worse, less efficient version of hydrogen from fossil fuels. No matter how you seal it, nowhere close to the produced amount of CO₂ can fit in the well and it will nearly in its entirety just find alternative routes out. It's a waste of time, mostly.

Nice. For Philip Glass fans, his third opera Akhenaten gets my strongest possible recommendations, it's visually spectacular at the level of Einstein on the Beach but musically accessible and vaguely pleasant while certainly not being bland. The Metropolitan Opera (NYC) is streaming it on a free trial along with much of the rest of their best recent work. I've learned a lot of people have a conception of opera as a woman singing in a particular style and don't actually realize how visually spectacular the best modern opera has become.

I’d categorize that as a beef with the walled garden system, more so than Apple becoming an ad company.

I don’t have an issue with criticism of the walled garden approach and that being a reason for many individuals to avoid the Apple ecosystem.

But I think that’s quite a different discussion than the business model of companies who make most of their revenue from ads and the tracking they do while one is visiting different properties all over the web.

Approximately 1% of revenue from ads doesn’t really make someone an ad company.

Again, I have no problem with critical comments about Apple (I have a lengthy list myself) - but advertising is not an equivalence between Apple and other truly advertising based companies.
