It doesn’t explain why they need to own the venue outright, rather than just rent the space when needed.

I don’t think of EA as a charity whose purpose is to run events 52 weeks a year. And even if they were, having a single space in England, beautiful though it is, doesn’t make sense for a global organization.

It would be a different story if someone donated the property and they wanted to make the best purpose for it (eg, Bellagio Center [0]). Although comically, I would expect EA to do the math and decide to sell such a donation and invest the capital in more productive charity.

I like some of the ideas, but they seem like charlatans and expect that anyone who donates directly to their orgs will regret it as more such fuckups like this are revealed over time.

I have definitely quit hiring process where I have been asked about FizzBuzz.

It’s outdated, useless, shows a lack of imagination.

I don’t want to work with people asking me whether I can perform a loop with a basic conditions.

And it’s a hill I am willing to die on.

I am financially independent, mostly here for the intellectual challenge. And I have never met anyone asking me about FizzBuzz having then the capacity to entertain me intellectually.
Ask HN: Is there a market use case for DeFi outside of emerging markets?
Hi everyone,

I am job hunting now and it seems like half of the companies reaching out to me are involved with DeFi. I have stayed far away from the crypto space because I have yet to see a valid use case for it in my own life, and of the plethora of scams in the space. I’ve read numerous threads here where people debate the usefulness of DeFi and crypto.

From what I can tell, there is one use case that DeFi is actually useful, and that is acting as the financial infrastructure for people in emerging markets who don’t have access to any traditional banks or lenders. This alone isn’t enough to convince me though because as it stands, anyone with access to traditional finance infra should continue to do so as you get far more assurances through auditing, and US federal support like FDIC.

Can someone explain to me a specific situation in which someone in a western country would want to use DeFi outside of speculative investing?
This is single-threaded, which a production app would not be. That's when things get scary with SQLite.

Yes, I was incorrect when I said SQLite couldn't handle lots of writes quickly; what I should have said is that it can't handle lots of writes from multiple threads quickly.
>I've never seen it used in the wild

I imagine it might crop up for people that also use Perl, since that would be more common there, like:

$foo="abc${var}def";
Yes, this confused me as well.

After getting ours, my girlfriend and I both noticed (although we didn't mention it to each other at the time) occasional sudden random hearing suppression in one ear, accompanied by a high-pitched tone. This would immediately start fading away and be gone in a minute or two.

After a second booster, I suddenly lost hearing in one ear and now suffer massive ringing. It turns out that this is a "known" thing that people just aren't talking (or warning) about until it's too late. It's a hideous destruction of people's lives.

You're conflating fissile and fertile again. A CANDU cannot run on thorium as thorium doesn't fission. It can run on U233 or U235 or plutonium at low concentration, and it can theoretically breed U233 over unity, but noone has tried. Just as noone has run a breeder reactor on fuel bred in a breeder reactor and extracted. Neither can be done without reprocessing capable of at least temporarily extracting weapons grade material.

Expansion of nuclear power to more than an insignificant amount will reduce those 100 years to a decade or two.

Nuclear is irrelevant to decarbonization on a world scale, any effort spent building burner reactors is a waste of resources that could do twice as much elsewhere.
We, as the consumers, don't get to decide.

If Apple is indeed going full adtech and data harvesting, there is nowhere for consumer left to go, no competitor.

Similar situation, it stressed me a lot and I still don't sleep very well. In my case the intensity of it is influenced by posture. So more exercises, stretching, meditation and therapeutic massages (need to find someone good) helped a lot.

I didnt find that background sound helped me. I also had no hearing loss but got exposed to stressing noises during construction projects I do for fun (now I am always careful).
Ah, okay that's a much smaller change then. Thanks for the info and link!

Kinda odd that Bash has had this syntax since forever, Perl as well, JavaScript went out of its way to add it as well, and now php is like: let's remove this syntax specifically but allow typo variants of it!

Oh well. Not like I was using it, that is, I use the bare "$foo" syntax and try not to make string interpolation too complicated with inline expressions or some such. Just, I could have seen the logic behind switching to the more universally supported syntax and deprecating something else rather than doing their one-off thing.

Ask HN: Recently posted directory of personal sites/blogs?
Within the last month or so, there was a site posted that seemed to be a directory of personal websites/blogs organized by topic/theme that made it to the front page, but for the life of me I can't seem to find it again. The only result I'm finding is blogsurf.io (search engine), but this isn't what I'm thinking of.

I seem to recall the site, oddly enough, also having a purple background.

If anyone can refresh my memory it would be greatly appreciated.
Strictly speaking, Greg Kurtzer didn't start CentOS. He started cAos, and people within cAos started CentOS to bootstrap cAos. When the CentOS and cAos people couldn't get along, CentOS left cAos to be its own thing. Lance Davis probably has more claim to being the founder than Greg Kurtzer, as he was the one that started actually creating the Red Hat Linux rebuild work the led to CentOS.

> I’m not aware of any jurisdiction which has different sales tax rates for different types of clothing

I’ll have to ask someone as I’ve forgotten the specific jurisdiction, but yes, it was sales tax specifically. If memory serves, it was either a county or municipality sales tax I thought in one of the states of the United States, but I’ll see if I can confirm.

Edit:

Here’s one source:

https://www.avalara.com/blog/en/north-america/2020/02/how-to...

In that case, it’s statewide it seems for Pennsylvania. Clothing in general isn’t taxed, but formalwear is.

I know there are a lot more odd variations than just that.
On the two cultures front, my education late last century was already nearly essay-free.

Maybe there's a way forward for the humanities where excellent (computer-assisted or not) syntax and grammar is taken as a baseline, and the focus could be entirely on the semantics of the work?

(a question intermediate between syntax and semantics: how good is AI at explicating the mappings back and forth from the extant literature, eg https://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/students/envs_5110/snow_1... or https://www.researchgate.net/publication/327416528_Syntax_Se... ?)

eingabe.append(zahlen)
gemTeiler.append(teiler)
elif zahlen.isalpha():
print("Keine Zahl! Bitte noch einmal versuchen.")
continue
elif zahlen == "":
break

ggT()

print(f"Die Teiler von {eingabe[i]} sind {gemTeiler[i]}.")
print(f"Die gemeinsamen Teiler sind: {set.intersection(*map(set, gemTeiler))}")

The stock market has every impact on a potential IPO next year though. I imagine their thinking is that they can get an immediate boost to gross margin by making this move without raising any alarms since they have cover by much of the sector right now, without sacrificing much in terms of delivery.

Sure, you could grow diverse crops. Some small farms do and then sell it restaurants, sell their "system" or knowledge, etc (and theres still debate about their economic viability). However, that won't apply to all the land. Commodity crops are in demand, so the majority of the land will be used for that. Most farmers wouldn't be interested in diverse crops due to the cost of various equipment, difficulty in marketing, and potential labor needs.

Bill Gates is all about the environment and owns tons of farm land. Is he implementing regenerative farming, or just business as usual? I'd be interested to see if he's adopted it, or why he hasn't.
> In fact it would be interested to compare all sorts of toilets under this aspect. Perhaps there is one that is superior.

You could also just close the lid before you flush?

Wow thank you for those stories. I took Astronomy in addition to computer science because evidently CS wasn’t nerdy enough. (Sorry to over share my stories but I really related with yours, sans celebrities and accomplishments)

My two favorite classes were cosmology (where things just bend your mind from sheer scale and spacetime effects) and another class called “life in the universe” taught by Dr. Virginia Trimble. Both of these, I had countless “what? WHAT?? did you all just hear that?” moments where you felt that you were being exposed to the most fantastical ideas.

Day one, Dr. Trimble gave us a sheet with 35 assignments. She said, do any 21 of these well and you get an A. No final or requirement to attend class. Or, you can stay and also attend the lectures and you’ll learn something.

Almost every assignment was as thought provoking like your silicon life form discussion.

One was to change one of the universal constants (like if the gravitational force was slightly stronger or weaker etc) and describe how the universe would be different.

Another was to write an Astronomy themed song/poem/short story. I wrote a short story about a boy and girl that go stargazing for a date and he tries to impress her with facts about binary stars and romance but doesn’t know that she is an Astro major and knows more but she finds his attempt endearing.

Greatest classes I took.

So it sounds like dinner parties were as fascinating as we’d imagine!
Is that the Graham Hancock series?

I've seen him speak. (It was, IIRC, at a Fortean Times Unconvention, an event that -- in part -- intentionally gives nutcases a chance to speak publicly, for the audience's amusement.)

He is a 100% total fraud, a laughing stock among genuine historians and archaeologists.

I am unconvinced whether he is a lunatic or intentionally a fraudster, but I am deeply concerned to learn he's on TV.

I'd suggest that a humane manner of execution does not exist because murder is fundamentally inhumane.
Looks promising. I have to say this is still really rough, though.

Some feedback after 5 minutes of testing:

* It doesn't remember your "environment". So if I call endpoint A and then click on endpoint B to try that, it forgets which environment is being targeted.

* Similarly, metadata is also specific to the request. If you use metadata for providing authorization headers, that means you have to enter the metadata separately every time you make a different request; there's no way to share metadata as an "environment".

* If you create a collection and click "Create", and it errors saying an imported proto resource wasn't found, the entire collection disappears.

* The app uses the proto schema to show a list of endpoints, but it doesn't know anything about the message and response schemas, and you can't browse the types? It seems tedious to have to manually enter the request as a JSON payload.

* Similarly, response is shown in JSON, rather than Proto data. So I can't see what the returned types actually are.

* The "Request" and "Metadata" editors are super laggy to the point of being unusable. It takes several seconds for what I type to appear in the editor, and my computer's CPU usage goes to 150% while it's sitting there doing nothing. Is there some kind of autocompletion that's supposed to kick in that's going into overdrive?

* Clicking on an endpoint adds another tab. Click around and you end up with dozens of tabs. Seems a bit pointless.

* No support for setting HTTP headers or seeing the returned headers.

Your parent comment was probably sarcastic and I appreciate the sarcasm. It does not take a lot for a post to come to front page. It takes only 4-5 people who care to view the 'new' page at the same time the post was hanging there and upvote. After a post comes to the front page it will surely gather more votes because the post is now visible to a very large HN audience.

There may be better posts that might have appealed to more people but did not make it to the front page because the post could not find the 4-5 people who care enough to vote on it.

Blame the Germans, those were the ones responsible for the FCC Radio Lockdown.

The EU imposed software radio lockdown, there was a public consultation about it where most of the answers from industry and users were negative, but they kept on pushing for it.

The same kind of consultation happened in the US, with the same kind of ignorance.

Personally, I think the chase for silver bullets does more harm than good. I'd rather work with multiple configuration management tools that do one thing well, than to deal with new contenders that seem to want to do it all and spend little effort in being interoperable with other needs outside their use case.

As a single example: Guix does not support setting capabilities on binaries in the store; if you want to set CAP_NET_ADMIN on ping, or you want some service to run with CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE, you're stuck. There is no way to make it happen inside Guix, so you're left with very ugly manual hacks (mount --bind /gnu/store /mnt ; setcap...; umount /mnt). Similarly, neither Nix nor Guix can be used as a deployment tool only, since they do not preserve post-deployment configuration changes (to the point that GuixSD even deletes user accounts if they're not in the system configuration).
More stable than python that's for sure. You could just go with react or node (depending on your use case) , pick a build tool, and be set for half a decade. That's absolutely not the case with Python, and I'm not just talking about the breaking changes that happen in some releases. You also don't get a mess of venv, conda environments, incompatible packages, having to use docker to deploy your app, etc. I use Python a lot, and I like it, but Javascript is much more stable as a platform for quite a lot of what python is generally used for.
Which parts of SQLite have range trees? How would you see a CRDT implemented using SQLite? I've been thinking a lot about fitting SQLite into the world of CRDT, but haven't come up with a good-enough generalized approach.
The US has some crazy toilet regulations and customs.

No lids. In many places the law requires weird U-shaped open seats. Paid toilets are verboten in most places, too. And the cubicles of public toilets typically don't got all the way to the floor nor ceiling and even have vertical slits to peek.
Wireless mics work fine too, just need to make sure its going through as few devices as possible. So I plug the Mic receiver box straight into two speakers, one for each mic.
> got a Mikrotik like device where you need Cisco IOS level of skill to configure

That's giving it too much credit. I have experience with Cisco IOS and NexusOS, and I'll say that Mikrotik's RouterOS was hard.
Things can certainly get worse. However, I don't see cheaper water or less fertilizer changing the economic outlook. Even with a slight increase in profit, you still have things like health insurance that are ever increasing, and the top line is too low to begin with.

Not only legacy companies, but also newer companies outside the typically IT-heavy sectors could benefit a lot from an influx of devs. If they have established a process that gives them stable revenue, investing to improve that process with the help of IT is a low-hanging fruit: Analyse the process where IT can optimize the time spent for a task or improve the quality of its outcome or enhance the decision makers with more information. Prioritize the list of possible improvements according to effort/outcome ratio and time-to-implementation estimations. The top of the list should usually consist of things where the implementation effort pays for itself quite quickly. It is just that managers in such sectors, especially in smaller companies, often seem unaware of the potential for optimisation because they only have vague ideas about IT beyond the standard office applications.
I appreciate that you didn't mean it like that but it does read quite disrespectfully. That can happen sometimes though, unfortunately I know that all too well! I'm also a bit touchy of late as so many comments on HN lack basic respect, it's not people getting into an argument and getting too heated, it's the very first comment people reply with, so perhaps I'm overreacting.
