I had recently remembered that I used Binance to purchase $100 worth of XRP in 2017 (around the time everyone was jumping on the crypto wagon), so I decided to try to log in to see how my investment was going.

This is when I found out Binance no longer allowed US investors, and I was redirected to a US site (Binance.us). The problem was my account was on Binance.com, and it was not migrated in anyway to this new US site.

I contacted support and they gave me a 7 day period to log in and withdraw my funds (which in itself is weird -- why not just migrate my account to the US site; why the sketchy, arbitrary 7 day period? whatever). I was finally able to log in! And I saw that my $100 investment had (unsurprisingly) turned into $17. I chuckled and tried to get my 17 bucks out anyway, only to find that the site no longer even offers a way to withdraw funds as an American!

This whole experience that spanned maybe an hour was hilarious. I've resigned to the fact that I was scammed out of a hundred bucks. Woulda been nice to use that to buy a few games on Steam, but oh well, here we are. Hope this tale at least amuses or informs someone.
I feel this HN account had been just waiting for this article.

The points the article makes about torsional and lateral tension helped me understand better why I prefer steel over carbon. I've always described it as "feeling more in-sync" with the bike. For example, the subtle instinctive biomechanical action of putting more weight down on the outside pedal to re-align the wheels when you start to understeer just feels great, like you're "one" with the bicycle.
This seems much easier in an app like photoshop/affinity if you want to keep everything really static. Or by using a combination of photoshop and then SD to clean up.
1.5A. Peak consumption of an ESP32 is around 1.5A. I once had to add a supercap from junk bin to Vcc to stop it from bootlooping.
Could you advise what sort of data might be leaked? I'm curious, just not sure how to ask without it sounding antagonistic.

I use contacts, phone, SMS, and the odd search on Google Maps and Chrome (once a week or so). All I can imagine they're able to track is the time, date and recipient of calls, plus the message for SMS and search history.

Is there something I don't know about that Android records on top of that?

Threading support is already implemented in some browsers and well on its way to standardization https://webassembly.org/roadmap/

Should address that concern. However there is another way of looking at performance and is in the context of serverless where typically single threaded performance is inportant, as well as cold start time etc and that’s why Wasm is popular in that scenario
In a way, all cells are female, because DNA from sperm and egg is the software, but it always runs on female hardware (the egg).

This is also why "cloning dinosaurs" might be extremely difficult even if you found complete DNA, you lack compatible enough hardware to run that DNA on.

To be honest, I think that go packaging is ghastly (just accessing dependencies in private repos requires changing global git settings, which is an abomination), but I can see how Java can be very heavy on that.

However, I would not weight too much the time-to-first-makefile of a language if a project is supposed to live for years.

Does CUDA have SVM either? Seems like a pretty niche feature IMHO
The world does not rely on docker for security at all, cloud providers put each tenant of container runtimes behind an additional barrier, like a VM.

Secure runtimes are a superior solution to virtualisation and separate kernels. There are only two secure runtimes in common use - for javascriot and webassembly.

The point about hardware support is very unfair - if you invest the same level of effort and hardware support into webassembly, you can also i prove its performance. Thats like compaining that electric cars suck because there are no chargers - its just infra.
Does not matter. If it is their property they should be able to stack cars in their yard and call it art if they want.

The license for the proprietary layout engine (TALA), was quoted to me as US$240 for 12 months of updates. For comparison, a personal license for IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate is US$169 (for the first year; less for subsequent years). As an active user and proponent of text-to-diagram tools, and as someone who isn't shy about paying for software (including my personal IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate license), I'm keen on buying a better layout engine, but IMO this price-point is a bit much.

Just after Obsidian releases Canvas. Coincidence? I don't think so...

Are you under the impression that Apple saw Canvas then fired up its own clone in a matter of days, then invented an iTime Machine and went back in time eight months to show demos to developers of the app it hasn't made yet?
This is the problem I'm afraid.

Perhaps it's well meaning but by asking for the end of Russia you're just another war hawk voice asking for world war.

I wasn't being clear enough, I meant "over just picking some ARM part".

Is there any actual benefit over just going for some Cortex M0 aside from "run old stuff on it" ?

I started my adventure with AVRs and avr-gcc, played a bit with arduino but nowadays there doesn't seem to be a good reason to pick them, M0s and M3s are cheap and plentiful and usually better specced for the price
Yes, of course they're highly specific. And that's my point. Why would I run a GC language inside my WASM runtime, at a 2-3x or more performance overhead? Instead of just running that languages' existing runtime which has been tuned for years, and already provides its own virtual machine? What is the actual benefit?

Putting it more clearly: Most services development is done in languages that have their own virtual machine (JS/TS, Go, JVM, Python, .NET). In what world does it make sense to run that VM inside another VM?

Finally, I think the experiences over the last 20 years around .NET and the JVM should have shown there is in fact not really such a thing as a truly universal abstract VM. A well-written VM tends to be written towards supporting the language(s) it is built for.

... Not unless you're willing to throw away almost all added value, and then you start looking like WASM. And then what's your value beyond native code, running on the hypervisor and/or in a container?

(There are in fact proposals for adding GC hooks in WASM. I'd have to spend some time reading up on them to evaluate whether they address my objections.)
That's a good point. Need to stop subsidizing over the road trucking and build more rail. Much more efficient.

Not Backstage specifically but I think you're describing documentation generally in a company of any size. Some tools are better (e.g. better search) than others. But documentation is something that's (hopefully mostly) correct the day it's created and tends to get less correct over time and may or may not get updated or formally deprecated.

There needs to be a process and probably at least a librarian and even then it's often not obvious. In my experience, a lot of written material gets into the "not quite right any longer but we don't have anything better"--and if you go to update it there's invariably a lot of things that end up getting changed. Not sure I've ever cracked open an old paper or blog post and just changed one thing.

I for one still have plenty of esp8266 based nodemcu/wemos around the house, they still do just fine for most hobbyist purposes and the RTOS SDK is just as pleasant to use as ESP-IDF. Most of the API is the same and they have example code for almost everything.

I also have several smart plugs from different vendors, smart bulbs, one thermostat, a camera, all still using esp8266 and doing just fine.

More than that: if the West pulls away and stops supporting Ukraine, it will not make peace.

Imagine Russian army overcoming the remaining Ukraine defenses and occupying 100% of it's territory. So you think the people of Ukraine will grudgingly lay down arms, and return to normal daily life? Come on.

Ukraine has always had a strong separatist movement while a part of the USSR. It was a founding member of the USSR, but the last vestiges of armed separatist forces were only suppressed by the end of 1950s. This was under Stalin, a tyrant with a very efficient suppression machine and no qualms about killing his subjects whatsoever.

A peer comment suggests that it could be fine to just let Russia have what it's currently grabbed, and cease the fire ASAP. I think it'd be the one of the worst courses of action.

An Ukraine defeated by Russia would be another Afghanistan. With current technology, and with the general ineptitude that the Russian state repeatedly demonstrates throughout the campaign, there's no doubt that guerilla warfare will be widespread and hurtful.

This is on top of letting an authoritarian regime to conquer by war and annex a sovereign European state, right next to "real" Western states. This would send many signals, of all the wrong sorts, of what the Wast is going to put up with.

In general, an abscess, once it exists, should be treated, one way or another, until it disappears completely. Stopping to treat it because it hurts is a way to make it hurt more, and become more dangerous.

Can you share some specific examples? Using someone else’s existing characters is probably stealing/infringing. That is not 100% original work. I haven’t heard about this being a big problem, most people know you can’t borrow characters from big studio productions without facing legal action, so they don’t attempt it.

Edit to mention up higher that when using someone else’s characters is trademark infringement, that is completely different and doesn’t support your arguments about copyright at all.

Most people think MAD requires that both sides have an effective means to carry out a strike on the enemy territory.

Out of the choices out there, Apple allows for the easiest collaboration. Airdrop for me is the biggest player, integrated iMessage into MacOS and every other OS. Planning a trip with just these two things is much easier than whatever I could’ve accomplished between two Linux or two windows computers. Unless I used WhatsApp or something like that, but that’s WhatsApp allowing collaboration, not Windows
Really awesome to see this.
I've done some conversion work for Flash to PhaserJS for educational games. We had to just rewrite everything as we didn't even have the original source code. Luckily Phaser animations can get a lot of the "walk across and open a door" stuff done easily.
I was also excited to see Hapland as I'd forgotten the name and so was never able to Google to find the games again!
>Doing so required the construction of a specialized plant, which captures and concentrates the heat generated by the datacenter before distributing it via existing water pipes.

I'm kind of curious how this is done. It must cost energy somehow otherwise this would be heat flowing from a cold to a warm reservoir.
> This limits collaboration to those in the Apple ecosystem.

Not only that, it limits collaboration to those running only the newest version of iOS/MacOS.
No it's mostly just the blub paradox. You don't feel the pain because you didn't use some features/techniques of other languages that don't exist in Go.

It's the same everyone. I, for example, never felt I was missing something until I learned about type providers. Now that I don't work in a language that supports them, I hate it. If I had never learned about them, I would probably never miss em.

The key diff between 'build' vs 'buy' seems to come down to an accommodation of one-off and sometimes frankly 'wrong' processes.

Using off the shelf prevents accommodating many oddities companies have accumulated (via growth, acquisition, whatever).

Build from scratch seems to always implicitly include "we'll handle every weird-ass edge case anyone might come at us with in the future, because we built it ourself".

There could be a middle ground of "build with certain parameters, but also normalize some existing processes by refusing to spend hundreds of hours building weird accounting processes for 1 customer someone because a salesperson needed to hit their target and told them anything was possible".

Dealt with accounting stuff years ago, and ... there weren't any accounting systems which could simply/easily handle 20 years of homegrown cruft. "If the customer number starts with P or X, and the account rep is Randy, they get a 5% discount until next summer". They had... 5000 customers, and about 30% of them had ad-hoc 'rules' like that. Hundreds of business rules various people just 'knew'. Just documenting and classifying them can take weeks.

I'm not saying no commercial systems can ever support that level of customization, but "we'll import all your stuff with 3 mouse clicks"-style marketing fluff ignores the reality that ... you have to adapt your business some, or you have to build in house. But even building in house, you still need to adapt your business processes to reduce/eliminate ad-hoc rules that people just yell down the hall to the accounting team.
Collaboration on Keynote is truly terrible.
Solomon is no longer at Docker (hasn’t been for a while) and Docker Inc is doing extremely well financially after the split and renewed focus on developers. This Wasm release also shows they are very forward looking… I am very positive on the company and what they are doing (no affiliation other than like Scott and the team over there)
“Threading support” in this sense is a bit of a misnomer, it’s really support for thread-safe memory constructs. Creating threads is left up to the runtime. On the web, this is done with WebWorkers, but on the server side I don’t think there is yet a standard way to do it supported by major runtimes.
Flash could do 3D 20 years ago, before WebGL and threeJS, and you didn't have to be a Javascript (or ActionScript) expert to build them.

Nothing really exists that beats Flash, partially because the switch to mobile killed Flash's momentum. It also led to the switch in Internet content from Flash animations/toons/games to Youtube/Patreon/Twitch videos. It was easier to make money with weekly videos than trying to get Adsense bucks by making a game every few months.

> GPUs don't really like drawing vector graphics. They like big batches of textured triangles. So, I needed to rasterize these vectors.

I don't follow. In my mind, triangles are natively defined in vector space. I didn't think it was impossible to convert vectors to GPU-friendly triangles. Rasterization is the easy way out and will (probably) help performance, but it will fall apart as screen resolutions increase.
Nitpick: they say it about democracy. Capitalism is (hopefully) not a form of government (yet).

I'm not saying that we need a completely different system. We need more regulation. Stronger FTC in the US, more anti-monopolistic policies everywhere. Prevent big corporations from locking in their customers/users and creating walled gardens. Use open technologies in state administration[1]. Release publicly-funded code as open-source[2]

Basically implement everything Electronic Frontier Foundation[3] and Free Software Foundation Europe[4] have been advocating for since forever.

So a 4 year degree is on the order of 30k, aka what a lot of people pay for one year on campus. That’s pretty easily achievable on entry level salary (I know, work while you’re in school, le horror). Even if you have to take loans the whole way that’s a car note.
