- The header to the right of the vote buttons shows "unvote" or 'undown" after voting. So you can at least see if you fat-fingered someone down in error and fix the mistake.

- On mobile, Android, I use Materialistic to read HN. The UI is much better than the web version, and voting uses a standard mobile UI element (or swipe, but I don't use that). You can't downvote in Materialistic, only upvote, so if you're worried about accidental downvoting that goes away.
Not really. The whole shipping industry accounts for 90% of the world's transportation of goods, but only 3% of greenhouse gas emissions. The problem with big ships is that they burn crude oil and create insane amounts of NOx and Sulphur pollution. Propellers won't solve that issue, only international regulations can. The industry also grows by several percent each year, so the best thing a small improvement like this could do is counter a few years of growth at best.
Former auditor here:

1. That is standard wording for the report of "agreed upon procedures". This is not an audit it just means they only did a certain set of procedures rather than an audit.

2. Audits aren't really able to detect all fraud, especially if the management is sophisticated. But if the fraud results in obvious material discrepancies then the audit would catch it and the auditor would resign (unless they are corrupt in which case you end up with Enron where a Big 5 auditor was complicit, so now we have the Big 4).

3. In the Binance case, the obvious weird thing is they only did these very limited agreed upon procedures on 'Bitcoin', but other crypto currencies they claim to hold were not verified at the same time. Also their other liabilities are not verified.

(As some examples: they could have some non-BTC liabilities to offset the Bitcoin or CZ moved some personal bitcoin to wallets or converted some other holdings, all sorts of possibilities. Would be hard to hide from a full audit but in this case very easy to hide. )
I am the opposite. I vote up easily, but think a hundred times before downvoting. Downvoting feels like censorship to me.
Eventually to sustain the value, crypto has move past hype and be actually used for something. If regular people won't use it to buy coffee or store money, eventually the trading bots shuffling billions of imaginary tokens around won't cut it.

Suppose you can consult an expert, or some bookworm who suffered from strokes that impaired judgement while preserving intaken notions.
That's fine, but the disclaimer is important. I did a quick test for myself by choosing what's at the top over at distrowatch(tm).

- Fedora plasma ca. 1.4 GB (matching your numbers)
- MX Linux plasma ca. 600 MB
- EndeavourOS plasma ca. 800 MB

Considering the significant difference you either have to go into more details or make that disclaimer prominent.
Some days ago, it told me "well, Boost has a function for that". I was surprised that I haven't found that myself.

I took me 10 minutes and opening the Git Log of Boost ("maybe they removed it?") until I realized "well, it just made that up". The whole answer was consistent and convicing enough, that I started searching, but it was just nonsense. It even provided a convincing amount of example code for it's made up function.

That experience was... insightful.

While we often say "If you need something in C++, Boost probably has it" and it's not untrue, ChatGPT seems to exercise that idea a little too much.
That is not true for many displays. Have a look at reviews, whether there is pwm control/flickering is part of all(?) professional reviews now.

Nope they are a reflection of their voters e.g. "us". As long as majority regardless of side continues to vote for amorphous virtue signalling unprincipled politicians the things will stay as they are.
There is no standardization unlike in Korea where they're at least under the same roof, except for the fact that work conditions are the exact same with the only difference being a small and i mean almost near poverty levels guaranteed pay.

Sometimes they like to argue they make more money as content creators, but that's not true as manhwas require much more artists meaning that they actually bring in less due to the requirements and coloring.
I just wish the screen had a little more contrast. Besides that, the productivity was awesome.

Later I switched to a Nokia 9210 Communicator (Nokia Series 80), basically a Psion 5 with networking and phone integration and a nice screen.

My living-the-future-moment was in the early 2000s sitting in car on the phone, then opening the phone, automatically switching to speakerphone and loading a spreadsheet to check some data. Later I emailed the sheet to a colleague and send the sheet as a fax from the phone to a customer. All from a single device.
Screen update latency can be optimized for the interactive use case. The default for e-readers is to do lots of full refreshes (slow) because they're less distracting than leaving small artifacts on the page after a partial update.
Don't get your hopes up yet: This just demonstrated that the released energy (in form of heat etc) is higher than the energy input – yet the released energy hadn't been converted to electricity that could have powered the lasers.

Supposedly this would be done by a heat engine, with can normally extract 60% of energy input. So 2.5 * 0.6 = 1.5, so it is yet again not producing any surplus energy.
At this point the whole thing feels perverse. Almost no software guarantees "fit for purpose". It really should be other way around at this point. The license would have to say it establishes warranty if it doesn't there is no such warranty or fit for purpose.
I think all progress will accelerate significantly with the dawn of true AI. The fusion scientist can now ask ChatGPT for ten (or 10,000) ideas on how to solve a particular roadblock, and a lot of the suggestions will be actually good. The cost of intelligence has suddenly become near-zero, and that will supercharge everything to do with innovation
If the doc is on Confluence, you'll probably never find it.

Ugh such a tacky abuse of words. Context around that sentence implies it should be "ensure". No, this is just yet another ad promoting gimmicky work for consultants to sell.

I understand HN is definitely the place to post this stuff, but I was expecting something more interesting.
>Windows has no raison d'etre except for the gaming space imho

Enterprise.

Either cloud with Office 365 + Azure AD + Intune to get Office/Teams/Sharepoint/Onedrive echosystem and manage clients PC settings and updates over Intune.

Or do it on-prem with Windows server, AD domain, Group policy, Fileshare server and all that. Some enterprise software that is not a SaaS may still require this.

The river thing is a problem in the summer when there is less overall demand, in the winter it should be fine.

> We didn't even start talking about nuclear waste.

Nuclear waste is basically a non issue anti-nuclear people bring up when they don't have any serious arguments.

Anybody that seriously looks into it understand that this isn't really that big of a problem.

> Germany tried to find a good place for that for decades without luck and most containers start to leak after a couple of years already.

This is another one of these basically fake issue that anti-nuclear people use to spread panic. But of course the reality is zero people have died or been hurt because of this. Even under worst case condition, like delusional fantasy of anti-nuclear people the idea that in the next 1000 years anybody gets hurt because of this is very low.

Germany were idiots in the 70s and instead of just storing low-level waste in a easy to manage placed they threw it in a unstable mine. Not very smart but also not really that big a deal or that dangerous.

So yeah if that the worst thing you can bring up against nuclear I'm not impressed. And again this is an issue because people did dumb shit in the 70s with all kinds of waste from the 50/60s. It has nothing to do with modern nuclear power.
Can you point me in the direction of something that explains the mechanics of how the FFR determines (prior to market sentiment) the rest of the yield curve? I know they do, but most explainers stop at that.
This you can't do, unfortunately. Would have to do something stupid like `(< -1 index length)`.
Yeah, but you can't since the energy produced is in form of heat and radiation and not electricity.

That is like using lasers to start a fire and then saying: Look the fire is producing energy in the form of heat! But the heat has to be turned to electricity to power the lasers. And then the fire better produce enough heat to produce enough electricity to power the lasers...
From my experience, people rarely write meaningful commit messages or comments in code, and they expect you to just glean everything you need to know by simply reading the code itself.
I am not sure I follow your logic. CZ and Coindesk triggered (not caused, but triggered) the collapse by announcing they thought there was an issue. CZ could have avoided that without giving FTX any money by just not doing it: quietly selling Binances FTT. I do't blame CZ for the problems at FTX. I am just saying, if you trigger a (justified) bank run in a competitor, you have to expect people to withdrawn from your own org too. So triggering it and NOT being solvent yourself is inviting disaster...
I hadn't thought about it before, but I'd have gone with:

> IF THEN OTHERWISE

Which avoids overloading OR and maintains better grammar.

But I suspect shorter words were preferable when space was a premium everywhere not least on the display itself.
It might not best for your eyes, but it is also not good for the health (for those who are diagnosed with migraine probably understand what I mean)
> federation is a nice idea but the pragmatic benefits are a lot less clear

> it's not obvious that federated social networking can reliably deliver

I love the idea of federations / federalism.

I also look at Mastodon and neither want to run my own instance or carry the mental ability to remember what instance I signed up on. Defending the idea of federalism but acknowledging that Mastodon isn't a perfect replacement for Twitter, I'd like to modify your statement:

Federation is a nice idea, but federations are only as strong as their members.

The Mastodon federation, combined, is smaller than Twitter.

So Twitter, while not being a federation, still has a better network effect.
Yes they should absolutely be banned.

I though he was accused of being anti-semitic, not racist? Are antisemites racists? Or, put another way, are jews a race? I didn’t think they were, and that’s why we had a special word “antisemitism” to describe this phenomenon.

Words are slippery things. I prefer to judge by actions, not words.

Because then you are limited by the use cases the browser vendors have thought of, instead of enabling new applications someone else thought of.

I mean, why not also use it for controlling a LEGO robot from a Scratch app? Configuring presets of your coffee maker without needing a mobile app? Updating the firmware of your soldering iron via vendor web page?

Just providing supervised access to Bluetooth LE would satisfy these all without adding custom interface for all current and all future devices we might want a web page to interact with.

> For example imagine I relate something that actually happened to me vs a bot making up a story. Byte for byte identical stories. They could be realistic, and have several good lessons baked in. Yet one is more valuable, because it is true.

I disagree, since something that actually happened to you is anecdotal experience and therefore of very limited “good lesson” value.

An AI generated story that reflects and illustrates a data driven majority of experiences and resulting “lessons” would be much more valuable to me than your solitary true story, which may be a total statistical outlier, and therefore should not inform my decision making.

Kahneman explains it much better than I can, and in his book “Thinking fast and thinking slow”, he quotes studies and statistical analysis, how we as humans are commonly led to faulty decision making, because personal experience (“true stories”) tends to become our primary decision influencer - even if we have access to statistics that suggest the opposite of our own experience is the much more common experience.

So if the AI gives me access to a summarized better overall data based truth, wrapped into a made-up story (to help me remember better), then I would much prefer the AI to guide my decision making.
If browsers could agree on a themable UI component framework - it would solve so many things for so many people. The jazzy designers can still have their complicated CSS/JS animations and cool layouts. But having a standard solution for normal developers would be so good.
I've had a somewhat similar feeling with the American-developed offshoot of Stable Diffusion by NovelAI suddenly granting everyone the ability to churn out hundreds of pieces of fanart of Japanese IPs with little effort. I also remember reading a Japanese tweet that spoke of the same sentiment related to foreign countries adapting parts of Japan's culture (Genshin Impact being one example).
How sustainable is high interest rates?

They can't raise like, they decades ago. It would collapse the goverment spending and economy. So at some point they will have to lower rates and print? Not soon but does anyone realize that in next few years? Debt has to grow. It's even much worse for EU. What am I missing?
Not necessarily. It might simply be because they wanted to publish something now and not in a couple of months.
Korean entertainment industry does well at exploiting what works. Korean webtoons are short, quick, updated frequently, accessible, easy to read on the phone, everyone has a mobile, and that is what is done. Not to mention that there is a culture of translating everything into English as quickly as possible in Korea.

In contrast, mangas are often bought in book form (which are less and less attractive as time goes on), cost more, less accessible, and have a lower update frequency. Japanese entertainment industry are slow and reluctant to translate things into English.

The value of manga is a bit less tangible, as they tend to be part of a larger entertainment strategy (along with toys, games, memorabilia).
The idea that some other monetary system would magically equal importance of work or amount of experience (usually promoted on the right by extremely wealthy people deeply invested in gold and on the left by people that imagine themselves running the Politburo) is the even bigger fairy tale though...
Supply chain update – it’s good news
We'll know more on Tuesday!!
The fact that you need to bet is exactly the problem, even when you are right. The article does 'blind monitoring of memory usage', which the comment you respond to points out suggest to the problematic, but in fact could also be benign and even beneficial.

So consider you are right and memory usage after boot correlates to being less snappy. That might be just a coincidence, with N being so small, and not a cause. Or maybe there is an interesting, unmentioned cause for both.

Or maybe the higher memory usage is due to features that most users actually want, for example better file indexing for search or whatever. It is not surprising to me that offering less features result in faster systems. In this case the comparison doesn't really make sense.

But it would also not surprise me if a system that uses a lot of memory is faster, if it uses that memory for caching for example.

So we don't know what 'free memory after boot' is a signal of and we don't really know if that is even important. Maybe it is to some who have 4gb or less memory. I have 64gb in my laptop, why should I care? (honest question, I can think of reasons).

If you are going to measure a signal, it is only going to be useful if you have a sound story about what the signal represents and why we should care about it. Otherwise its just a blind ranking game, kind of an e-sports competition, which will perversely incentivize useless investments (of time) and choices.

Didn't the US coast guard order a few to test on their larger ships? The efficiency gains must be credible for that to happen I imagine, though I can't find a good source for that order, and I'm not sure where I heard it.

The TATA group has diverse businesses in India from Salt to Heavy industries & atleast the new cars that they produce have reputation of better quality & service than a lot of other brands.
You are probably talking about something extremely sweepingly generalistic and that too with no real points (atleast on this). There are lot of concerns of recent about MAC OS releases (discussions on HN on how long term IOS users were unhappy with the buggy OS's released)
Solarized has the same contrast relationships in both modes, though. That’s kind of the point.
There were several regulations, such as designating webtoons as youth harmful media when Lee Myung-bak took office.

At that time, the artists held campaign NO CUT.
For one thing, I would rather it be used for my applications, not the desktop environment.

But the real reason I love XFCE is that RAM use is just a small part of the puzzle of overall weight and resource use, which correlates with performance and responsiveness.

Another correlation, in my experience, is bugs and glitches. It makes sense to me, since more resource use means more code means more places for bugs to appear.
That's pretty horrible list if it's missing Heat, Fight Club and Falling Down from 90s, also no Jagten from newer movies.

Yes, I would. By the application that does some actual work for me. Not by glorified task launcher.
Is it not enough that a person feels very strongly that one way is more comfortable for them? Why must we quantify when someone is physically uncomfortable?

Theoretically it would be probably be optimal in terms of the science of visual perception to flood my room with the brightest white light possible, instead of using my usual dimmed yellow lights. It would also make me feel subjectively terrible (like my eyes were bleeding) so I don’t do it, and I don’t need a study to back it up.
I would say most engineers know high memory usage without a clear cause correlates strongly with poorly written software, it's likely to be slow and shit.
I'm running fluxbox, I recently switched from xfce (which I've been using for years and was my go-to). I have to say I'm very impressed, simple and easy to use, certainly MX Linux's set up is pretty flawless. Like a halfway house between traditional and tiled window manager.
Terrific, that is great to know. I might update my monitors if so.

Most of the energy in "fusion" weapon is all fission based.

Has Haskell really been that influential though? It seems to me that MLs, Lisps, Schemes, and even Erlang have been more influential.
Fedora also bundles a bunch of software by default for a nice desktop experience for new users that you wouldn’t get with only Gnome on Arch. The difference is quite big, I’ve used both and Arch is way leaner even with a full install of the Gnome desktop.
Energy transport over long distances is difficult and inefficient iirc. While sone energy storage ships well (like hydrogen) it’s unlikely that there’ll be intercontinental electrical lines. Not an electrical engineer so happy to be told I’m wrong.
Good grief. Don't mess around with vascular symptoms like that. Though I'm not one to talk, I once waited out my legs going paralyzed (I got better! ..mostly.)

It's saddening to hear that Australia's hospital system is overloaded like the US's. Nurses are burnt out and leaving in droves, and we're not even giving them a raise. I'm amazed how little emergency workers seem to be valued after a major emergency.
I completely agree. My point was actually like your bike example.

The phone may not be, in itself, expensive, so a painful loss if it came to be stolen (or otherwise no longer available - say you break / lose it). But since more and more things are tied to it, it can be a giant PITA to lose it. For example, my bank accounts 2FA is tied to it, and they specifically don't allow having multiple phones. If my phone is lost, I have to physically visit a branch office to reset it.
I refer to this as the US 3rd nuclear bomb.

Most countries hold USD reserves/bonds.

If US prints money, the wealth of all countries holding USD goes down. While the wealth of US increases.

Since US started this monetary policy of easy money printing, they have been "bombing" the rest of the world, violence-free, ammunition-free and uranium-free.

I am not an American, but if I were, I would be pretty happy about it. Yes, it would affect me and my neighbors, but in the end I would be getting a net benefit.

The real beauty is how the other countries don't even fully realize this is happening to them and the people who do realize (finance ministries, central bankers, etc.) are kept rich enough to not talk about it too much.
> You interact with your DE whenever you create a window, switch to another, press the Super button, right click on the desktop, get a popup notification, hit your media keys, and in a decreasing way the more you move towards the Window Manager end of the spectrum.

Most of this is handled by a window manager. Again, most users launch their favourite set of applications at the start of the day and run them until (if) they log off. And the average programmer is no different: a web browser, IDE, terminal emulator, Telegram and Slack all running non-stop.
Fsyncs can be combined. You don‘t need 40k fsyncs for 40k inserts. While one fsync is running multiple inserts are queued and fsnced together when e.g. the last fsync is done.
