I tried generating an Ethereum address by hand starting by creating a random private key. It quickly got away from me.

I wish there was some way to simplify the math to allow doing it by hand. It would be a nice way to check for correctness while computing it offline, and while ensuring dependencies hadn't been compromised to produce a fake public address.
Looking back at 2022 as my first year at incident.io
Blackrock bought pre-existing inventory. How is this similar?
In North Korea, every year is the year of Linux on the desktop (Red Star OS).
In Chicago, the Cook County Sheriff will not do evictions in the winter, and are very hesitant to do an eviction if children live at the house unless they have verified that they have another place lined up.

Most but not all big corps want nothing to do with being landlords in Chicago, though there are a lot of local corporations involved. My first apartment in Chicago was owned by the family that also owns the Blackhawks hockey team, and you had to call their front office with any problems. I’m sure that was fun for them - any phone call could be about some important hockey business, or maybe just a broken toilet.
Nice, very pleasing

I will deal with a professionally managed property any day over an individual landlord.
I’m afraid that people are going to apply ChatGPT’s hypnotic ability to online dating and particularly to romance scams, it is nice to see the tables turned.

But seriously, normal and worse-than-normal people have trouble with saying things are are subtly or not-so-subtly off putting and I think that ability to predict the most likely next word will very likely bypass the perception of that. I think it is the first area where people will see a clear and present danger from LLMs.
No idea why you're being downvoted. Neotechnofeudalism is one of the most interesting concepts I've come across on this site and it's a very realistic vision of the future we're heading towards.

You can both reduce unit price in comparison to the market and make tons of money. Happens all the time. The t-model is a prime example.
Interesting ideas but I'm in the camp that having everything be explicit causes complexity to be foisted on the user. There are times and places where that simplicity might offer some advantages but I'd rather my systems language scale between contexts.
Any source for that made up number? "The black book of communism"? The one book who listed fascists killed by communists as "victims of communism"? That book lists people killed in wars started by the USA as victims of communism, for gods sake!

That book has been laughed out of the room of serious conversation for being basically capitalist propaganda and complete bullshit.

> Another example is the "central dogma of molecular biology", Crick later admitted that he misunderstood what dogma actually means when he coined that term. The term is simply wrong in this case, but it still remains.

It remains because it is understood, making it not wrong. It is far from ideal, language wise, if we were to take language as more important than how language is used.

> It's more about the survival of the best adapted one, and not the strongest one.

The same applies to the usage of "fitness", that you chose to misunderstand. Do you also misread "islamophobia"? Are all usages of "literally" literal?
It's compiled, so, without any investigation at all, I would have been disappointed if there were any significant difference in the code emitted in these cases. I would expect the compiler to do the efficient thing based on usage rather than the particular syntax. I may have too much faith in the compiler.
For the curious, there is a creator that has a video of an event at this apartment on YT.

This is a personal reflection on the last year, but shares a view into how incident.io has grown and my experience as an early engineer there.

Figured it might be interesting to people in other start-ups, or as an insight into what early-stage looks like.
We have statutes of limitations for a reason. For one, no one should trust 50 year old memories. Witnesses are unreliable on the same day!

> * Sprinkling & around everything in math expressions does make them ugly. Maybe rust needs an asBorrow or similar?

Do you mean AsRef, or do you mean magic which automatically borrows parameters and is specifically what rust does not do any more than e.g. C does?

Though you can probably get both if the by-ref version is faster (or more convenient internally): wrap the by-ref function with a by-value wrapper which is #[inline]-ed, this way the interface is by value but the actual parameter passing is byref (as the value-consuming wrapper will be inlined and essentially removed).

Does it matter at that point? Surely anyone would migrate to a new domain name after that.
And how would that increase inventory and why invest in rental real estate if my return is limited to inflation? In that case, why not just buy bonds?

Happy new year :)
The problem with language models is that there's no thought behind what they say. It's just pattern recognition.
If you ask it an original convoluted but simple natural language question, it will spit out nonsense. There's no thought behind what it sees - when it sees 5x - 3 = 2x + 7, it doesn't think that the x represents the variable, you need to plug in a number such that both sides are equal etc. It just sees the symbols and looks up the answer in it's memory. There's zero intelligence here.
It's like a hypothetical student who simply memorizes all definitions without understanding at all. You can ask it for the definition of a linear system of equations, and you can ask it how to solve one, but there is zero understanding or thought there, in spite of apparent knowledge.
In a way, it reminds me of Feynman's anecdote about Brazilian universities.
> why would they do anything to lower rents?

Why does anyone? To capture market from people who don’t.

JPMorgan can squeeze as much profit as possible AND lower rents.

Companies will extract as much profit as possible. But this isn’t always a bad thing as it can be quite profitable to service customers in a mutually beneficial way.
I eat a lot healthier when I make nutritious foods convenient.

One thing that works for me is preparing raw vegetables into "to-go" packs when I bring my groceries home.

We use glass tupperware, but plastic resealable bags work great too.

I also recommend purchasing an instant pot! You can throw frozen fish or chicken in there with some water and you have lean meat fully cooked in 5-10 minutes.
How can it not help housing availability by increasing supply?
The paradox of choice is real. A well configured bespoke tool may be more efficient, but if it’s hard to reach a configuration that you like, then a non configurable tool that has well selected choices may be more efficient simply because it eliminates the time, energy and mental effort spent on configuring and thinking of configuring the tool, and trying to get comfortable with the various configurations you may tinker the tool into.

So the real correct answer to whether bespoke or pre-configured tools are more efficient is “it depends”.
I used to do something similar a long time ago, but over time calling everything exclusively through a starter-script turned out to be fragile and annoying in some situations. So at some point I moved everything back into $BIN and now organize all scripts just with prefixes and dedicated starters.

Main advantage of the starter-scripts is that I can use file-extensions for my scripts and have dedicated entry-points for each functionality. I just let the starters figure out which script to call. Additionally if I call the starter without a scriptname, It delivers me a selector for selecting a script to call, optimized for the context. Normally I use rofi to select a script.

And today I even have starters which take into action which window is active, and deliver me matching scripts for context-aware work. The improvement on productivity with this quite simple setup is insane. I used to have launcher-apps like launchy or alfred & quicksilver on MacOS. But they were so inflexible that they can't compare for me to my customized rofi-experience. Really insane how much worth such simplicity can have.
Pakistan to completely destabilize following more climate change driven natural disaster and start some limited border war along the line of control to try and shore up popular support at home.

The UK to slide into a deep depression, and lose much financial stability and jobs related to city trading houses moving to the EU. Northern Ireland to hold a border poll about rejoining the EU through a United Ireland.

Russian forces to continue digging in, exhausting Ukrainian attacks and causing a military stalemate and political deadlock. The Russian economy to continue to slide, corruption and gangsterism to encroach more on society there.

Saudi Arabia to attempt further sports washing to improve their international image. Some unlikely sports final to be hosted in Riyadh.

Vietnam to continue to crush the GDP growth rate, and start taking over some serious tech production from the likes of Shenzhen. Chinese COVID deaths to become a state secret, and the economy there to shrink while other Asian countries pick up the slack.

The GOP to split into pro and anti Trump factions, with the anti Trump faction to make some massively authoritarian laws to win over red state voters.
Why? Nobel prize committee is not accountable to the global public.
I think futarchy is more likely than neotechnofeudalism. More Star Trek, less Star Wars.
I lower the cognitive overhead for global problems by just donating to charities that do effective work I believe in (e.g. PSI). On the local level we can at least go to town hall meetings and vote.
Fellow Dutchie here. This has also been a tradition in my family for as long as I can remember. My parents would actually act out parts of the sketch sometimes.
I'm actually mostly over the attachment at this point, it's more that I haven't found a workaround for some of the practical things:

* music (this one I'm working around now with a focused music-playing device)
* navigation (this one a watch could do, but I don't have one (yet))
* ordering taxis / e-scooters / etc., - this is the sticking point, not sure what to do about it
My predictions for 2023-2030

2023 will be a year of endings and beginnings. The endings will be dramatic and the beginnings will only be understood in hindsight. Here's what happens.

The collapse continues, manifesting now as a culture war that goes floor-by-floor throughout every industry. Twitter, sure, but everywhere, now, and faster.

2022's incredible advances in AI diffuse through civil society. Awareness that some fundamental contract with the nature of the world is straining, is perhaps breaking, seeps through the groundwater of the collective unconscious. This growing unease at the idea of productive capitalism without mass employment eventually becomes the stand-out story of the decade. Along with climate change, of course, which is now much harder to address, because democratic consensus becomes impossible because of the proliferation of bots and AI-gen propaganda.

Over the ensuing decade, politics polarize even further, but there is also a second faultline, running on a sort of diagonal, between naturalist/ecologist/conservationist sensibility on one side, and technologist/rationalist/transhumanist ideology on the other. For example, a serious ecologist might reject (say) AI and euthanasia (neither being wholesomely natural), while still mostly voting in a left-aligned bloc; meanwhile a conservative might endorse science-based medicines and vaccines. Eventually this will seem normal, but in 2022 people will still be surprising each other.

But maybe this is too fine-grained. Perhaps it is enough to say that, in 2023, the creeping sense of dread you've had for the past half-decade comes closer to a head, but not so close that you can actually be rid of it. That will come in 2025, after the bitter election, or 2030-ish if you make it that far.

For now, rest up.
He's just tired.
There is also a digitally colorized version of Dinner for One from 1999 (possibly geo-fenced):

https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/comedy-und-satire/dinner-f...

It is rarely broadcasted in Germany, however, because people just like the original black and white version better and vocally rejected the colorized version when it was first aired.

There were also plans to record a live version in color in 1968, but Freddy Frinton sadly passed away before it was realized.
That's pretty far from the biggest objection I've heard from the BDSM community about the book. Pretty much universally they have an issue with the way the book treats consent, and thats a real, real, big thing you need to get right when engaging with BDSM.
Also see: I always suggest young people with limited but stable income to buy newer cars with warranties. They can least afford unexpected repairs.
I have been tempted recently to install Fedora Silverblue for trying it a daily driver in a spare computer I have at home, however, I read in many forums people having to implement some nasty workarounds for common things I use (e.g Docker/Podman). Perhaps in a near future when I have more time.
Naturally, the “curse of Turing” means that virtually any programming language can, with enough effort, do anything. I wouldn’t classify Prolog as appropriate language for general purpose vs say Python.

In theory, I could write a replacement for the Linux kernel in machine code or COBOL or even Prolog. This doesn’t mean that it would be wise to do so. (I’ve written code in professional settings in all of these ways.)
> JP morgan is going to sqeeze as much profit as possible, why would they do anything to lower rents?

Thankfully everyone else who is currently in the rental business is NOT donig this already?

Speaking of naive, you fail to understand JPM will have to compete with the existing landlords or their units will remain empty.
> Out of the box, out of the standard, there no real structured data type ala records, there's no strings, there's no modular coding construct

ANS Forth (the somewhat controversial Forth standard) does have strings.

ANS Forth also has structures (records). I see gforth also has its own alternative. [0][1]

I believe you're right that ANS Forth has nothing akin to namespaces or modules.

This is not really surprising in such a case. The Rust compiler is pretty good at optimizing out uneeded copies. Here it does see that the copied value is not used after the function call, so it should simply not emit the copies in the final assembly.
I agree. When I was that age, I thought of people who would use conflict to achieve “independence” as being full of hippie ideals for idiots. Enjoy what you can and work behind people’s backs rather than spark conflict.
And regulators all the way down.. regulations seldom work without unintended consequences and people finding loopholes or blackmarkets. They do more harm than good.
Because the implicit promise of housing is that it will never depreciate it's value. It's a safe bet against inflation over long run.

For normal homeowners who want to pass an inheritance to the next generation, a house is both a home and, a retirement plan, and an inheritance investment.

The big losers in cheap housing are the families that've paid a mortgage for 30 years in order to save money for the future.

Asking for cheap housing, today, is like asking for eating the cake and selling it too.
It's just the same process of selection operating at a higher level. Not on genes, but on social systems and institutions. Thus e.g. Socialism was developed under the assumption that human nature itself could somehow be changed in the service of a collective goal, the "New Socialist Man". But this ultimately failed, and so Socialism was mostly abandoned. (What some call socialism today is more of a minor adjustment on capitalism, trying to improve its overall outcomes without central planning of all production activity.)
Its as if someone believes we no longer need the Navy. Wonder if that's true?
"fitness" in evolution doesn't mean what we understand commonly as fitness. It's more about the survival of the best adapted one, and not the strongest one.

It's almost as if the original author meant to say "fit for purpose".
This isn't capitalism.
Ask HN: What's the hardest thing you did this year?
It can be an acute event, like a breakup, natural disaster, etc. Or a longer process, such as dealing with a loss of loved one, job, health, etc. (Also, no shame in admitting that the struggle continues.) Or just a challenge you set out for yourself, like running a race or putting yourself out of your comfort zone somehow.

For me, it was learning to manage a chronic health issue into a sort-of steady state while raising a very rambunctious and energetic boy.
There are plenty of local sites, search tokelau site:tk for examples. ISPs, mobile networks, visitor attractions etc.
I totally agree; unfortunately he was a contractor hired through an agency, which meant his management resources were poorly defined and somewhat diffuse across the two companies' reporting chains.

I'd imagine if he was strictly an FTE he would have been getting that guidance and support, but I guess the politics of trying to do so across company boundaries made it too much of a career risk for the "manager" he was assigned from my company.
being able to run AdAway which needs to modify the hosts file is one reason to root. removing bloatware and pre-installed system apps is another.
Organizations do implement matrix structures to greater or lesser degrees which have their own advantages and disadvantages. Typically someone formally reports to one manager but will be "dotted line" into one or more additional people.
I wonder what Gov Hochul’s powerbrokers got in return from the manufacturers in exchange for sabotaging this bill.
Wow, you're lucky! It happened to my mother as well, driving home from a long day when she was directing a performing arts center here in NY -- so I understand it isn't always a choice, and this was before Uber.

She drifted and took out the guardrail on the old Tappan Zee bridge (around 11PM on a weekday, little traffic as well). Got a bill for it from the state -- I'm just glad she didn't make it all the way through, would have been quite a plunge (and I wouldn't exist).

Stay safe!
The point is that it would incentivize them to sell condos instead, which are then tax-privileged.
An interesting fact from the German Wikipedia, translation with DeepL:

"The sketch was also part of the New Year's Eve program in the GDR. There, however, not the classic with Frinton and Warden was broadcast from 1978, but an early variant with the actors Ernest E. Regon and June Royal under the title Erinnerungsmahl, which had already been played 20 years earlier on the Munich Varieté stage Annast. Beginning on New Year's Eve 1988, a little less than a year before the fall of the Berlin Wall, GDR television then also showed the Frinton version.[28]"

I helped write parallelknoppix when I was an undergrad - our university's 2nd cluster ended up being a bunch of laptops with broken displays running it. Took me a whole summer.

Then the next semester I am denied the ability to take a parallel computing class because it was for graduate students only and the prof. would not accept a waiver even though the class was being taught on the cluster me and a buddy built.

That I still had root on.

So I added a script that would renice the prof.'s jobs to be as slow as possible.

BOFH moment :)
Don't sleep on games from FromSoftware. They make me feel the way games did over two decades ago. There's an accompanying sense of wonder and exploration, but also thrilling challenge. The narrative format is less in-your-face - there's lots of lore and optional quests/conversations with NPCs, but few cutscenes.
For this code, the compiler inlined the call. So there should be no difference between pass by copy or pass by reference, which is what was measured. Where it could matter is when the code isn’t inlined. But with small structs it might not matter all that much.

It does sometimes matter though. One optimization I’ve seen in a few places is to box the error type, so that a result doesn’t copy the (usually empty) error by value on the stack. That actually makes a small performance difference, on the order of about 5-10%.
It got published in a peer-reviewed journal. Its bloody impact factor is 3.926.
Everyone wants this to be about politics, but that elides the fact that he looks like an utter clown every day to anyone who understands software, social media, or finance.
The laws of supply and demand only says that an increase in supply will decrease price if everything else remains the same. Since that isn't the reality in housing markets there is nothing in the laws of supply and demand saying prices can't increase more by building more than they otherwise would have.
- Inflation will start a cycle trend. Next year down, then up again

- Earning compressions

- revenue compressions due to less wealth and consumer power

Multi year recessions and inflation.
I agree with where you're coming from, but would point out that the commercial-surveillance Web is more of a managed experience than the free range one we experienced on the early Internet. So Internet time is likely more akin to dropping your kids off at the mall rather than letting them roam in the woods.

If they've got the interest and aptitude to actually dig into computers and how they work (not just programming, but programming is a large part of it), and/or self-actualize in free form building games, that feels like it qualifies as undirected play. But not everyone is going to be so interested in deep computing.
It's just a word. Certain circles take it much more seriously than others. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt and remember that using that language with ones peers on HN is different from using it in a professional or social setting.
