There's a version of the tutorial[1] online, but the 2-dimensional, nested document setup doesn't really map that well to other formats. It does support various exports, from a quasi-WYSIWYG equivalent using HTML tables to more abstract ones (XML, outlines etc.).

I can test it. What would be the advantage if I use it in my tool instead of Ubuntu? At the end of the day with Kubernetes I don't think it makes much difference which OS you use. I picked Ubuntu because it's standard and servers with this image build very quickly with Hetzner Cloud.

I think I agree with the article in that the actual problem is to make drivers "accountable" with something that works like a rating.

To achieve that without centralisation requires some variant of crypto signatures. To make them expensive to "fake", they need to cost something. One suggestion would then be to make the payment receipt the rating signature. In this scenario, drivers would publish their ratings which consist of the signatures/receipts of previous fares.

Either way, it needs to be addressed.
So one type of foot is different than another type of foot.

Another difference: which is heavier, a pound of gold or a pound of feathers? The pound of feathers.

The feathers are weighed using a system called “avoirdupois”: this is how we weigh things like food, equipment and ourselves. Precious metals like gold and silver are measured using the “troy” system. If you normalize everything to mass a pound of feathers is 454 grams and a pound of gold is 373 grams, therefore the feathers are technically heavier

* https://www.suse.com/c/want-pound-feathers-pound-gold/

Now, which is heavier: an ounce of gold or an ounce of feathers? The ounce of gold.

> Precious metals such as gold and silver, and gemstones, are measured in troy ounces. Everyday measurements (food, copper, your body weight) are measured in avoirdupois ounces. A troy ounce (12 to a troy pound) is about 10 percent heavier than an avoirdupois ounce (16 to an avoirdupois pound). When converted metrically, a troy ounce weighs 31.1 grams and an avoirdupois ounce is equal to 28.35 grams.

The backend stuff described here is relatively trivial. You could just do everything on a blockchain, at the expense of poor scalability if it actually took off and the eternal reproach of HN.

The thing that is very hard to replicate is that Uber provides a form of insurance and moderation, where human operators can choose to refund for cancelled rides in situations where it is tricky to determine who is at fault.

They are also able to do it optimistically, refunding people and then adjusting policies if it turns out the policies are being abused. This stuff is very hard to encode into a decentralized protocol.

I sometimes use this approach actively. Think about a hard problem and multiple ways to tackle it. Then step back and let my subconscious sort out the rest.

I recon it only works though if you thought about it hard enough or gave your subconscious enough material to work with so to speak.

> I think any interpretation of Kuhnian paradigm shifts that excludes arguably the two biggest revolutions in science, ever, cannot be correct.

Tell that to Kuhn himself. The requirement of incommensurability for paradigm shifts is his, not mine.

I agree that there is a different concept of "paradigm shift" in science, which does describe what happened when relativity and QM were adopted. But that concept is not Kuhn's concept. In both of those changes (as I've already said with regard to the change to relativity), the old theory was contained in the new one as a special case or approximation. And that is precisely why they are not Kuhnian paradigm shifts--because the theories aren't incommensurable. That doesn't mean they weren't radical changes: it just means that Kuhn's ideas about how radical changes actually happen in science were not very accurate.

(Note: I'm the person that coined the term "Log4Shell")

You may be surprised when I tell you what the Apache Software foundation's yearly budget is. You'd think for software that is used by practically every Fortune 500 company and most governments, it would be something reasonable. Maybe a few hundred million dollars a year to pay for a reasonable full-time staff, right?

It turns out... it's about $2 million a year. (Wikipedia[0])

This helps explain to me why the devs of Log4j directly uploaded the file "JNDIExploit.java" (the POC) to GitHub while they were patching. (Here is a full analysis about what happened[1].)

They're not security people. They're volunteers working on this in addition to their full-time job.

What kind of brave soul wants to trudge through and maintain log4j in their spare time for zero compensation? I appreciate the people that are capable of doing that, but I think they are rare!

This whole entire vulnerability was eye opening for everybody and I have actually spent the last year building tooling on GitHub to help fix the problems that Log4Shell exposed.

If you have 2 seconds to try that out or just Star the repo[2], it would be very helpful!

Not OP and haven't read the book, but maybe this is more about survival, if McDonald's survived 82 years, then we can assume it can survive another 82, if you've been at the job for 2 months and there are no signs of trouble, then you can assume you'll survive another 2, reevaluate then to conclude that you can survive another 4...

I can give you an example of one cluster than I use for personal stuff:

- 3 masters with 3 cores and 4 GB of RAM each
- load balancer for the masters (for the Kubernetes API)
- 3 workers with faster AMD CPUs and 4 cores/8GB of RAM
- around 200GB of storage in persistent volumes

I think it costs around 60-70 euros per month total! I can't remember the exact amount because I have many things with Hetzner and do tests creating and deleting stuff all the time so my bill is rather long lol.

Hetzner is very cheap, but I can voice for the performance and reliability as well. It's a very good provider and I highly recommend them. Now they even have 2 locations in the USA!

According to the sources, the salt itself doesn't cause melting.

"When water is mixed with salt the freezing temperature of the solution is lower than 32 F. The salt impedes the ability of the water molecules to form solid ice crystals. It’s important to note that the salt must be in a solution with liquid water in order for this principle to be obeyed. Salt that’s dumped on top of ice relies on the sun or the friction of car tires driving over it to initially melt the ice to a slush that can mix with the salt and then won’t refreeze."

The Original Remote Developer – Paul Lutus
Blockchain identities makes the most sense since the identity can be non-custodial and also tied to finances/payments intrinsically (can use stablecoins or native crypto for payments) and there's already some proliferation of web3 wallet providers.

You can trivially implement DIDs on-chain for example https://github.com/uport-project/ethr-didand have various levels of centralization and authentication, and then you can also use things like soulbound tokens (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4105763) or on-chain activity to further correlate someones identity in a more decentralized way.

For scale, you can use a layer 2 chain to batch transactions off-chain. And then you can go further and implement zero knowledge proofs to keep identities private but attestations public.
My prediction is that C will die off as a language long before Fortran and COBOL. What keeps a language like Fortran alive is that it is used in an application niche where rewriting is done at best ship-of-Theseus style, and the friction of using a new language for a component far outweighs the benefits of doing so (weather models are a good example here). For COBOL, it remains in applications where the cost of a switch or rewrite includes a low risk of catastrophic, and therefore expensive, failure (see Southwest Airlines for a very public and recent example of such a failure).

C does have a similar kind of niche at first glance: systems programming is of course conservative, rewriting everything is unlikely, and of course, C is the language used for ABI. Except on closer inspection, that moat is remarkably shallow. Being the language of ABI means that every competitor language has some way to speak C guaranteed, so the friction of rewriting systems software Ship-of-Theseus-style is much lower (though still nonzero). Systems software is rewritten from scratch on a much higher cadence: in the last 20 years or so, most of the userspace system glue for Linux has been replaced (e.g., systemd, iproute2, pulseaudio, wayland). And we've learned over the past few decades that there's no practical way to fix C's fundamental unsafety issues with software engineering practices, and C's committee is too conservative to consider retrofitting the necessary features to be able to fix unsafety at a language level (to say nothing of getting people to use it).

There is already a small clutch of languages that can serve C's niches that don't have the same fundamental unsafety issues, and right now, we're sort of at an experimental stage of system software trying them out. It's not unreasonable to believe that within a decade or so, one or more of these languages would be considered a standard, safe choice for implementing new systems software--and the use of C in new projects will start dropping. At some point, the proliferation of non-C systems projects will make people point out that having these components talk through C's ABI is too limited in functionality, and a system will change its ABI from C to some other language. And once it is no longer the language of ABI, C will lack its moat that keeps it alive, and it will start dying, though its death will be a slow, agonizing death.
