Ended up being a slap on the wrist and the public collectively forgot the largest financial scandal in history happened.
1, 3, 4 click the withdraw button like everyone else in the article. It works flawlessly and most exchanges are not fractional reserves, 100% can be withdrawn and the exchange still functions. It’s happened before, there hasn’t been interest in articles about everything that works properly in crypto space, it’s quite boring. You’re not supposed to use crypto exchanges as storage, and most exchanges are set up with that in mind.

I haven't read any of the comments besides yours yet. I'm a pretty cynical person - I am drawn to skepticism in a discussion, hence wanting to reply to your comment. I went through the exercise in the link and found it really interesting. I wasn't particularly interested in the final output, or in making my own practise out of it. But it was valuable finding some nuance in 'how I feel'. I chose 'good' but when I split it into 3 different terms it didn't look so good, so I took a short break, which is something I should do more often.

So I guess for me there were two crucial factors. The process was more important than the output, and I gained value from it without considering I'll ever do it again.

Ay! @lynx23 at risk of annoying you with another request to keep with the positive tone of the post... Please entertain this honest question with a reasonable response. I'm no mediator, arbiter, or moderator. I'm just enjoying this app a lot and don't want other folks to reduce themselves to negativity.

Sorry for sticking my nose in your business.
Even a 100x fusion gain wouldn't make the NIF net power producer, because last time I checked the lasers produce ~99% heat and <1% coherent light. The relevant metric is the ratio of energy input into the facility vs its output.
While lightweightness is often an important factor considered in choosing text editors, their hackability and the fun associated with it can be so rewarding (if you're into it of course).

Sure, elisp may take a bit of time to get used to but writing short snippets can often bring delight, tailored to your needs.

A couple of years ago, I wrote a smartish Swift yasnippet (https://xenodium.com/emacs-generate-a-swift-initializer). A few days ago, I revisted and made it smarter (https://xenodium.com/emacs-generate-a-swift-initializer). Lately, I've made lots of command-line utilities easily accessible with a small package I wrote (https://xenodium.com/seamless-command-line-utils). You can accomplish quite a bit with very little code. Here's another usage integrating with macOS (https://xenodium.com/emacs-reveal-in-finder-dwim-style). You can also goof around a little and create a welcome screen (https://xenodium.com/emacs-a-welcoming-experiment). Perhaps you want to blur the lines between your editor and your shell (https://xenodium.com/yasnippet-in-emacs-eshell). There are lots of packages available that do the heavy lifting, like multiple cursors (https://xenodium.com/inserting-numbers-with-emacs-multiple-c...).

An all-time favorite of mine is the Emacs Rocks multiple cursors episode (https://emacsrocks.com/e13.html). Well worth the watch to the very end. He's just having so much fun.
I fixed my "broken" washing machine by bypassing the "drum is open" (while it is not) security with a single magnet. It was 10 years ago. Not the best engineering or smartest idea but I really appreciate how the simplest trick allowed me not spending money on a new one. And I really didn't want to. I'm still amazed by it every time I wash my underwears and I'm like "Yeah. F the system" looking at that small magnet.
Ok but there is a big problem with your argument. If that is the case why did the Binance CEO have to make an announcement on Twitter if the business terms already include that USDC to USD settlement takes a business day? The banks being "late" is not unusual, it would happen every single day.
This is definitely more dystopian, as your going from filtering nature humans, to modifying them.

Society is probably going to end up being made from the a couple of the same traits, juts how RPG games let you choose characters each with different strength and weaknesses.

And of course the gap between the poor and rich is no longer just about resources and opportunities, its then also genetic superiority, a recipe for huge inequality.

That's all without talking about side effects, maybe because of data biases, or government control to influence genes in a way that suits the government or million other possibilities of influencing humans in this way.
Ask HN: How do I make a reasonable pronouncable password for a “weak” system?
Note: I do not have any control on the government-operated website (and I won't be surprised if it's hacked already), but since I am required to use it I haven't have any choice here (and I am actually inquiring the ministry why it is a weak system).

It has a maximum of 20 characters (and minimum of four (four!) characters) and is only case-insensitive alphanumeric. Also, it should be pronounceable since this is apparently used also as the password for their hotline services!

How do I proceed with this? Should I just whip out a random password generator and pronounce it letter-by-letter (or number-by-number) or should I make it vaguely pronounceable?
We're talking about the FBI here. They see traffic coming from a server. The ask who's server it is, your host tells them your name and address. The FBI asks the host for physical access to the server, and installs whatever monitoring they want regardless of your patch schedule. The FBI asks them to keep this off the access logs, and they do.

a) Apache Superset is neither powerful nor flexible. It has the absolute minimum functionality to still be called a "BI tool", but just barely.

b) Sadly, Apache Superset is the only "BI tool" that is both free and open source, so you don't have any choice in the matter anyways.
I’m curious how this affects network and data storage costs. Maintaining data storage and private fiber to all the clouds has its own costs.

If you subscribe to the Unix Philosophy and like to use your tools in in such ways, yes. If you want to point and click* (no hate - I just mean you just want to get things done) and composing small tools in novel, productive and repeatable ways doesn't interest you very much, I would say there's a chance you may struggle to see the benefit and motivation may drop off and your ROI may be low.

(yes Neovim supports mouse, don't @ me lol)

I started with Vim because of the modal editing (prompted by the classic in-person witnessing of a Vim user). I had just switched to the Workman KB layout so I was already slow and useless - why not be slow and useless for a while, but then have also learned Vim? I started out with the modal emulation in various editors, provided by extensions, but over the years I became more and more sick of Windows' BS and swapped to Linux for dev. This is when I encountered Neovim, and I now realise Vim is so much more than the modal editing.

As I wrote in another comment, working in code now without Vim feels like punching in a dream. I won't say I'll never leave Vim, but until there's something that allows editing as ergonomic as Vim's, startup as fast as Vim's, terminal/GUI options like Vim has, integration with basically anything like Vim can, and a lack of Big-Tech-BS like Vim has, then I'll probably just keep using it.
> I'm pretty sure there's no double blind, placebo controlled trial contrasting nicotine with cardiovascular health. Simply because for any adverse health effects to come up, it would need to be taken for a very long time, and no one would run such a study.

Sure, but the conclusion "therefore we can't know" is invalid. This is what we have observational studies and animal models for. You can absolutely do this in, say, rhesus monkeys and draw some reasonable conclusions if the trial results match up with observational results in humans.
This is definitely an interesting space, but I can't help but think that you're creating a huge potential risk by taking this approach.

Someone will have to review the changes, to see if they actually solve the bug (and if they don't introduce new subtle bugs). That can be as hard or harder to do, and it seems to me that it's easy to become overconfident and just skip that step.
There's well under a hundred million people that aren't within easy transmission distance of somewhere with at least 10% capacity factor for a bifacial system in mid winter and don't already have more than enough hydro to go wind/hydro.

If 1% of the world needs to get 30% of their energy from gas while we figure out the hydrogen thing, it's not really a problem.

> I think the claim at the end is supposed to say `O(D)` running time rather than `O(N)` (or I can't see where `N` is defined).

Good catch; this should be fixed (using N for input length and W for window size consistently in the writeup).
The most ingenious engineering feats of 2022
I got the impression they were plugged into whole communities of streamers for whom this is entirely normal.

I have no idea how big they are, I don’t think they were aiming particularly young, one was regularly streaming horror games.

To me the whole thing is weird in many other ways (why watch other people game?! I could be gaming!) but twitch seems set up for this sort of stuff and it feels pretty unhealthy.
Question about Peertube: Is it possible to personally view and verify each uploaded video, as the host/admin of the service? (time constraints aside)

My concern is, that if I host a peertube instance and anyone uploads illegal stuff, I am going to hang for it. So perhaps I would like a Peetube instance just for my friends an me, where I can personally review each video, to not get into trouble. Basically doing the job which the big platforms are too high and noble to properly do and use their algorithms for.
TIL, Wikipedia confirms this.
> Now what? Do that every day? It feels patronizing and seems like just a way to distract myself. Might as well spend my time playing Factorio, it'll distract me as much.

What are these things a distraction from, in your opinion? I would have thought introspection the opposite of distraction.
> Well, I was just pointing out that if Binance were to fall down (and by extension, its P2P functionality), it'd make it harder for the people to access exchange rates that have made their lives easier, the easiest they have been.

I get that, but that's not necessarily the fault of the regulators in other countries, much more the fault of the local government not being able to provide their citizens with a stable local currency.

> The core problem with this economy is that most people are uneducated about political and economical issues. All they want are the local government benefits. The state of the economy affects us all local residents, but without the support of the majority I cannot change it singlehandedly.

I very much sympathize with you, especially in light of the US's past willingness to interfere in those local affairs when it suited their business interests. Even so, the only real solution for this problem can come from inside. Argentina has tremendous potential, natural resources and a whole bunch of other things going for it, I sincerely hope that you and your fellow countrymen will be able to somehow turn this around and make it work.
So I'm on desktop and don't have a scroll wheel or anything that does touch or gestures. Is this literally unusable for me, or am I missing something?

The Go libraries that never failed us
Exactly ! I was referring to alcohol and junk food, but your point is even more related to cigarettes. The smoke, or course.

And now that I think about it, isn’t "pollution" in general a kind of smoke too? We are certainly not doing enough on this issue too.
SGH develops test to monitor antibiotic levels in critically ill patients
Yeah, in theory it's a great idea. In practice, it always ends up as a challenge for economies of scale. Just look at Bitcoin, we can all mine it, but it's not worth it unless you scale. In the end, someone will build a data center, just to gather profits from whatever Web3 implementation you think of. Because their energy cost is lower, relatively, it will become too expensive to 'mine' at home.

It's the circle of capitalism.
Agree, but GP comment implied that smoking and vaping have the same health impact, which they very clearly do not. I assume this is a result of consuming misleading content from trusted sources.

Lying about science is kind of how we got into a lot of the trouble we’re in. I wish public health communicators would knock it off.

> Your projects also need to consider pinning their dependencies to a specific version

At that point, you should consider just using your version control system to handle versioning instead of trying to route around it, poorly.
In the US at least, there are typically routes to affordable therapy. Sliding scales, university-sponsorship, employer-sponsorship, and government-sponsorship for severe mental illness.

Using myself as an (admittedly very specific, not universal) example: my employer is paying my tuition, and the university has a free program. Most therapists in the 200,000-person city in which I grew up have a sliding scale that goes down to $60.00 per hour, and that's only if you're paying entirely out of pocket.
From the introduction, which starts by trying to give some wider taxonomic context:

>The genus Ilex comprises about 450 species growing in the tropical regions of South America and Asia. Ilex trees are located exclusively in South America...

The roughly 500-600 species in the genus Ilex are commonly called hollies and include the European Christmas holly, I. aquafolium. The genus overall has a worldwide distribution over both tropical and temperate regions, there is no particular concentration of diversity in the South American tropics. Strange to get basic facts so wrong in the opening sentences.
Pro tip: unless it's a trivial app, and if you don't dislike "difficult" languages, use Rust for the logic. It tends to be backwards compatible and interfaces nicely with Javascript with WASM, and you can share it with other frontends like native apps.
Semi gratuitous comment, but it has had such an important impact on my life that I share it at every tangent: don't even bother trying to fix your emotional problems until you fix your sleep problems. It is an almost utterly hopeless endeavor to have psychological health of any kind with chronic poor sleep. (And even though they're intertwined, it makes a world of difference to prioritizing what you do when you treat it as causal)
This is potentially planet-changing news
I think we're reading that comment very differently; I read it as "the legislative end result", not the health one. That eventually vaping is likely to be similarly banned once there are no tobacco smokers.
I remember when the "cloud" hype was first beginning to make a splash.
A pillar selling point was "savings".

"Reduce your costs", they said.
"Don't worry about those expensive hardware costs", or management.
"Only pay for what you need", they said.

Until everyone was hooked and the tooling was everywhere.

Even just putting the pricing for hardware/services aside, the bandwidth charges alone are quite amazing. Most have it at $80 per TB per month. That's $80 a month for a 3mbit connection. [3mbps * 3600 seconds an hour * 24 hours * 30 days ~= 1TB]. Even if you pretended it was 6mbps for double the redundancy, that's still $80 for a 6mbit connection. I understand there's more to it than just transfer amount/speed, but this is in a place where bandwidth is supposed to be cheaper, as it's "purchased" in wholesale, yet a 1GBit upload connection could transfer 330TB in a month, which would cost over $23,000 at Microsoft/Google/Amazon.

I am not saying the cloud doesn't make sense. I love me some Firebase. CDN's are game changers. And GPU's per hour is the only way some scientists/researchers can afford to do work [although it does contribute to the NVIDIA's focusing on manufacturing high price/low volume].

That said, it's not for everyone. A cheap VPS can do a lot.

Specifically for a university or an institution with a lot of cheap/free bandwidth, on-site would not only be cheaper, but also have lower latency for its campus users and more control wise.

Also, if done right, there's a possibility of teaching the students relevant real-world solutions using the knowledge gained/within the university.
It is interesting that the data science and ML folks are willing to weather Python’s dependency mess Vs. the huge momentum Golang and (increasingly) Rust have built around their static binary philosophy.

Perhaps this is the future of Kubernetes , to be the only thing brave enough to run epoxied globs of .NET, Java and Python.
In this particular case, the local governments could have ceded the certificate handling to Digicert just as well. It's not like the locals are more digitally-knowledgeable.
I use neovim. my experience is that gaining muscle memory with vim is great. Sometimes you start hiting the escape keys in websites and other places where it does not work but other that is a really nice experience. I never took too much effort to optimize every keystroke. I just learned new ways to navigate as needed. Coding in go and the plugins work very well.
Things I dislike. neovim changed the plugin system a lot (they introduced lua as the preffered scripting language instead of vimscript right?) and for me that likes to rebuild the config once every 5 years or so, stumbling on a complete new way of doing things made lose a bit more time than I wanted and was a bit of a frustrating experience.
There's a lot of weird cultural baggage around therapy, esp in the US, but that doesn't mean it is not actually useful to people. Might be useful to you someday, it'd be foolish to let people over-empathising at a party put you off the whole thing
There is a newsletter that finds stories of people being successful building in public and gives readers ideas for how to clone them.

Ironically, that newsletter has also been cloned multiple times.

Entrepreneurship is difficult enough. I don’t get why you would want to build in public these days (at least to the degree some people do).
I don't support state enforced "truth in labelling", but if a company can lie to the state in order to put "cancer-free" on the label, it can also lie to the state in order to put banned carcinogens in the product.

I would support allowing companies to opt in to regulation (and pay the full cost of it) and only allow companies that have opted in to claim to be regulated by the relevant agency. That way, those who trust the state can choose to only use things the state has approved and no-one else will be harmed when the state is wrong.
I thought that platforms were protected as long as they take down illegal content when they are informed about it?
> If government wants improvements, it needs to mandate it, not approve current bad state.

They should really start with participating in the CA/B forum workgroups, instead of trying to reinvent (and mangle) the wheel.
Well, it wasn't priceless, apparently it was worth $44B to Musk and the question if it is now worth more or less, in my estimation it is worth considerably less and the double digit reach that it had is eroding. Keep in mind that even as a megaphone Twitter has bills to be paid and Musk can't afford to spend the rest of his life managing Twitter's various brushfires, at some point he will have to weigh the importance of SpaceX and Tesla versus Twitter. Maybe his ego will get in the way of making the right call there and he'll run the whole thing into the ground but from where I'm sitting so far it has gone exactly as I expected, only a bit faster.

Any residual value of Twitter is at risk as long as Musk is at the helm.
I have been on projects that go nowhere when started, but as soon as the politics are settled down and everyone is rowing in the same direction productivity is unlocked. Then, a reorg happens. But yes, please measure how many lines of code I write.
Washington faltered as fentanyl gripped America
The so called "national security certificates". Sneaking in covert interception mechanisms into our technology, obfuscating it with bullshit names and government euphemisms. Will these governments ever stop their tyranny? Why can't they cease and desist on the cryptography matter? We don't want to be surveilled, we don't want them "regulating" this stuff.
Now let's talk about paperclips...
Yeah, nothing there affects regular programs even a tenth as bad as say quoting rules and space handling affect average Bash shell scripts.
Do they go back to smoking because they're physically unable to use a vape or just because of habit/style/supply etc?
I'd suspect that it is a combination of the following:

a) a lot of existing code that needs to be untangled (e.g. moving various tasks to not depend on indices);

b) figuring out how to avoid unnecessary re-indexing (e.g. the downoadable index caches for things like Java files);

c) having to define a migration path to spread out breaking changes to give plugins enough time to adapt.

IIUC, some of the performance work with the latest version is due to parallelizing the various background processes, which uses coroutines, so you could add "implementing language, library, and tooling support to Kotlin/Java" to that list.
Practical solutions are not going to come cheap.
> What do New Zealand's numbers look like there?

Also curious because this will depend a lot on how healthcare is paid for and how accessible is it. I expect NZ for example to do relatively more intervention in those cases than the US. But a quick search is not very informative.

this is truly beautiful. also remarkable how a text about this topic can be so emotional and yet so distant and neutral, whenever other authors would fall back to platitudes or demonization of some development, she manages to step back and take another perspective instead. and its not just focussing on the human side but also a perfect portrayal of state of the art of production level agent systems.
