Note also that Togo was 12 years old when he led the 261 mile journey. Most of his community who knew, expected Togo would die during or immediately as a result of completing the trip.

I share your views on many purebreeds being immoral, but the "wild-type" breeds with more genetic variability are often much, much more challenging for human owners. I'm personally a huge fan of Australian Cattle Dogs and Australian Shepherds, both of which are very "blended" breeds. But they take soooo much time and energy to raise, they're nearly incompatible with a 9-5 job for the first year or so of their lives.
If you are selling to other businesses I consider that enterprise. If you are selling to consumers you don’t need signed contracts from other businesses to buy your product.
I've played guitar for many years, but for the last couple of decades it's only been casual noodling, often improvising with music I have on in the background. I read music, but slowly and reluctantly so have only a weak association between note names and sound.

But I have a strong fretboard/sound association that is some sort of pitch memory. I can jump straight to a note, or if not to it, I'll be off by a fret (semitone). It's more accurate wiht a quick intuitive attempt - if I pause to think I'll often be further off. Jumping straight into playing with/over something I hear I'll nearly always start on the right note.

What pitch memory I have is very clearly learned, and I suspect it could be developed it were a priority.

> who was the main Bitcoin developer

I'm flattered, but that's not so! I was a relatively insignificant developer (e.g. 163 mostly minor commits to a project that has had >24k)-- though I've been frequently targeted in public, in part due to my own error in choosing to discuss Bitcoin with naysayers rather than just ignoring them. If you wanted to call me an formally outspoken Bitcoin philosopher, I wouldn't argue!

But the post in question was on a thread about Wladimir who was, in fact, lead developer of the Bitcoin Core project for many years, and the most active developer as far back as 2011. He posted shortly after Wright won an appeal overturning our summary dismissal stating that he regretted ever participating in open source specifically because the MIT license waver of liability was not, apparently, strong enough to get an abusive lawsuit dismissed on a summary basis. (the page is now down as he's mostly dropped off the internet since).

Anyone opining on pre-historic nature and evolution is spinning a just-so story, unless they're literally data-mining paleontologic or genomic evidence, and if they're doing the later they're talking about the results and conclusions in a much different manner.

> Once you push the sex responsible for birth to do a lot of the breadwinning, procreation of the species starts to fall apart.

There's no reason to assume that single-mothers weren't common in the past, absent direct paleontological evidence. There's no reason to assume that a supported mother isn't being supported by her blood relatives, while the father of her child(ren) is off doing his own thing (there are actually societies which function this way). And absent very short period of time in the few months immediately around actual childbirth, hunter-gatherer women were probably quite capable of supporting themselves.
Maybe I'm just a dummy who should stick to scripting, but I had exactly the opposite reaction: based on everything I've seen, this is wholly uninteresting. I can't imagine a single practical application that isn't more comprehensibly written in an existing language. But I feel the same way about Haskell, too.

The older I get the more I value code that is easy to understand and debug by either myself or someone else months or years down the line when the original context might be forgotten. Ultra-dense syntax like this only makes that almost superhumanly difficult.
For years in the 1960s, every catalog from Edmund Scientific featured something called the Spilhaus Space Clock. This article doesn't mention it, but it must have been by the same guy.

I really like the idea of bonsai languages, too. Rather than growing across various dimensions as new features are demanded, they stay small, concise, and focused just getting tighter, neater, and more performant. Of course, this isn't always practical nor desirable. I'm not sure if there are many bonsai languages, though. Perhaps something like awk?

Wow I always thought AWS was crazy complicated just like .. because stuff is hard. But you're right, if it's complex enough people define their career identity as an "AWS expert" and at that point you have lock-in for life.
A modern ride hailing service is much more tech-heavy and complicated than a taxi company. They even started their own in-house mapping service last year. They have to plan pricing, balance the marketplace, provide accurate cost and ETA estimates to drivers and users, and all of this has to be super-reliable otherwise the fickle consumer will flee elsewhere. I can't say if it requires thousands of engineers like they currently have, but it's definitely not a taxi company.
That’s quite similar to my story. While at high school, I wrote an innocent program to open the terminals at the nearby college for chat sessions - nothing nefarious. The sysadm saw what I did and realised I could use it to phish passwords. Next time I went to use the computer lab, the terminals were locked down.

Showing my age but this would have been 1984 or so… a remarkably early contribution to security?
Space heating matters and everything else is basically noise.

For one reason, your decision to use a gas stove affects all the people who live within proximity of you. Everyone’s air quality could be affected, and everyone’s risk of carbon monoxide poisoning increases, and everyone’s risk of fire increases.

You say that but I highly doubt you're going to completely stop reading new things at all. People probably said similar things when other inventions were made but humans adapt, the hedonic treadmill is real.
The 2nd point is misleading as a major part of this effect was likely due to the novelty of the 9€ ticket and it being "only available for a short time" and the COVID lockdowns which had happened before. I.e. it was a "I want to get out" effect combined with a "if I don't do it now I will miss out" effect.
Very few computers running nginx have human user accounts with more than dotfiles in the home directory. Meanwhile desktops run everything on the same account because defining usable security policies between users is basically impossible.

If you're not going to senior prom, you're not the stretch limo demographic. Welcome to adulthood!
I really like this idea. It’s basically applying similar principles as are used in image based nets - i.e. sliding window convolutional kernels - to text.
These will be back at some point... And there will be flabbergasted news articles talking about how Gen z or Gen AA want to see them for their novelty and there will be gray beard Gen x and Gen y talking about how back in their day everyone used to stretch limos.

But it will be a stretch limo cyber truck or a stretch limo SUV, there aren't very many land yacht style sedans left over yet, except for say the Lincoln Continental.
> Not true, heat pumps are widely used as primary heat sources in environments as cold or colder than NY, like in Montreal and other parts of Canada.

As the owner of a 5 year old heat pump in a milder climate in Indiana, I can tell you this:

* When it is under 10°F, my heat pump switches to emergency heat... forced air electric and is very expensive to run.
* Often the temperature swings are pretty wild... 40-50 degrees and that also can force emergency heat.

Oh, and since the electric company is usually using gas to generate the electricity, isn't the environmental impact somewhat of a wash?
> It would die as a PR, and if it was forced through then miners would almost certainly protest since it undermines their authority.

Since we're talking about trust… what would happen if it were waved through the PR process, bypassing those checks entirely? (Do miners normally conduct code reviews?) What if it were obfuscated, disguised as something else – perhaps complete with tests "proving" that it was, in fact, that something else. It's been done before: http://underhanded-c.org/.

> Anyone who tries modifying the ledger knows the weight of what they're suggesting, that's why it just doesn't happen.

In other words… you're trusting that everyone in "Bitcoin's community" wants Bitcoin to continue to exist, and won't do things like this?

> What can be stepped up fast is wind and solar energy.

I don't know who told you this. Can you point to any large city that is running on purely wind & solar right now? As far as I'm aware, there's not even a large regional city that has demonstrated this can work with current battery technology. I would be really happy to be wrong on this, but as of right now, it's not an option and we need to be realistic about that.

"The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) says nuclear power plants had a capacity factor of 92.6% in the US during 2022. This compares to 36.1% for wind energy and just 24.8% for solar photovoltaic technology. To a rough approximation, it takes three times as much wind capacity and four times as much solar to produce the same amount of electricity as a nuclear power plant over a given period. This is complicated by seasonality. Solar, for example, is particularly ineffective during the winter months when energy needs in the northern portion of the country are highest."

> the same as industry best practices, just scaled up.

That's like saying S3 is the same as ext4, their the same, just scaled up! This is a poor argument, you'll note that S3 and ext4 are entirely different things, not "challenges", fundamentally different implementations.

Google is the only company I've ever worked for that automatically deleted dead code, let alone across a company of 100k+ SWE.
At least American culture, driving used to directly equate to FREEDOM. However as more people tried to grasp that freedom, as the suburbs expanded and the roads bogged down, driving is increasingly associated with gridlock and traffic rule crackdowns.

Gone are the days of fantasizing about driving a supercomputer AI car into a mobile truck base.

Gone are the days of driving to some club or restaurant and the vehicle as a proxy of status.

In today's world luxury comes to the rich. Personal chefs, international air freight anything, parties at their resort sized mansion mini-city. Short of a state level police motorcade for the politically connected, why go to some remote event at all?

No, the limousine is seen as some high school prom or other pedestrian event and a thing for shows on TV.

This is a classic project management decision: You discover an expensive to fix issue late in the game. Do you:

a) Pick a cheap quick but possibly insufficient solution, or

b) Pick a reliable solution that costs so much more time that stuff downstream of your project (Artemis 3 in this case) can't use the results of your project anymore

If the quicker fix doesn't, then you are really screwed. You didn't start the slow expensive fix, you have less money, and you may be out of time.
The privatization is the bad part? Never a piece of junk mail until...

Oh, wow. Look at this, never actually privatized.

> The USPS should exist to serve regular-Joe recipients of mail,

Can we get a federal telegraph agency too, just in case I need to receive some telegrams? You have no idea how horrible it is having to pay exorbitant sums of cash on private telegraph service.

The trouble is that the USPS has a union which is a reliable voting bloc for the Democrats. That makes it sacred. Even if it performs a service no one has given a shit about since the 1970s, everyone will gush on about how "what if I need to receive some mail" and pretend that mail service belongs somewhere other than a museum exhibit. I predict that every 10 years or so, it will be necessary to invent a new reason why we couldn't ever get rid of it.
> CLICKETY <
Good to understand. So maybe key() and value() would be good, more descriptive names for them then.

But I do think using a natural-language name like CAR even if very specialized, is better than using single-char symbols as function names.
Um. Aren't we talking about stoves? Heat pumps aren't usable for this application.

Even in the furnace case you need fairly ideal numbers for the heat pump to overtake the loss of 50% you're taking just in the generation step.

And I don't know what's up with your claim about solar and wind energy.

plus i can't use my nice copper diffuser with them :(

nah, imma stick to gas :)
The principle says you can’t remove it until you understand why it was there. It’s more about doing due diligence.

I follow the principle when I remove code, and it’s a reason why good code comments are important. “Oh yeah, this was written for [x] which is no longer a thing, we can remove it now”
IMO one of the biggest opportunities for WASM is printer and scanner drivers. These things have historically been distributed as native code, so the usability of the hardware on various OSes and architectures is spotty[0]. WASM is close enough to a native binary (fast, not source[1]) to be accepted by hardware vendors, but is inherently architecture-independent and in principle could be built to an OS-indendent API. Imagine sharing the exact same drivers for tens of thousands of devices across Windows, Mac, Linux, and every other OS that might exist in the future!

The same applies to webcams, screensavers (with WebGL/WebGPU), audio processing plugins, and any other software that doesn't come bundled into the OS and doesn't have a UI as such.

The utility of WebASM for non-Web use cases is incredible.

[0] My scanner is by Epson, who have good Linux support, but the driver was built against an ancient GNU libc that's no longer distributed by Debian/Ubuntu. And it's amd64, so I can't use a RaspberryPi as a scan server.

[1] I prefer open source when available, but hardware vendors often have cultural or contractual blocks against open-sourcing their drivers.
They could not get their moon booster rocket to reliably work, and that ended their moon shot program.

Saturn V had the same problems (dynamic instability) which nearly destroyed it. It just barely worked.
I created an app for my phone so I can track my kit rocket as it descends under parachute. As far as I know this is the first app for android that predicts landing locations. I couldn't find one previously.

My wife and I were ex-pats when we lived and worked in Belgium for almost eight years. Her employer was originally a subsidiary of JP Morgan, and she was paid as an American living in Brussels. I was brought along as her spouse (although we were actually only engaged at that point), and I was able to find work locally (at Belgacom Skynet, the ISP arm of the former PTT for the country). My wife got a very rare "unlimited stay" work permit.

Come almost eight years later and we were eligible to apply for Belgian citizenship. Her employer had been spun off into a Belgian company, and they were not willing to continue to pay her as an ex-pat. So, it didn't make financial sense for us to remain in the country. So, we moved back to the US.

We never had any plans to permanently move to Belgium, so we weren't immigrants.

But it was fun being ex-pats for a while.
Wow, the doctors that tried to block you out completely within their network of friends must have balls of steel, what with zero fear of legal repercussions!

When and where was monogamy common thousands of years ago? At best serial monogamy was. But among higher status people it was frequently just monoandry.

TypeScript's "private" is only for type checks. It is simply removed.

You may also want to read what I wrote a few days ago already: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35653653

TypeScript now supports both the ECMAScript #private - it has no choice in the matter, since it's in the language now - and their own development-time "private". It sounds messy but that's the fault of those who wanted it in the language, as runtime checks.

I agree with the other comment, closures are far more powerful and flexible. I understand that this OOP stuff in JS was probably a nod to the many programmers in many companies already used to it, to make JS more palatable for them. It's easy to demand millions of people worldwide to adapt, but in business reality it does not work that way. So I grudgingly accept those new(er) things in JS as a business decision and necessity, for the huge crowd of people doing programming mostly just for the money, who had to write more and more code for the web that used to be run as installable software on Windows.
If you understood what an LLM is not, you might..
Fair point. I didn't do a thorough review before posting the link.
Yep if you live in Indiana your electricity comes from gas or coal, there's a tiny bit of generation from a wind farm in the northwest corner of the state and some scattered token solar farms.
You’re not the only one, but there don’t seem to be many of you. There’s just way too much evidence it was a real space program and all the counter arguments are weak, flawed or straight up based on absurd misunderstandings and misinterpretation of the evidence.

Even aside from the evidence itself it fails the massive conspiracy with no leaks test. Conspiracies leak exponentially with the number of people in the know. SOE worked this all out running operations in occupied Europe. This is why top secret intelligence operations employ incredibly rigorous procedures. Let’s say you have a spy in a foreign country, you make sure only a tiny number of people know the details, preferably low single digits, you layer and compartmentalise everything, you run decoy operations. Even then it’s incredibly hard, the vast majority of operations eventually leak. Only very few of the best run operations with very few people in the know ever last.

With the moon landings many hundreds, more like thousands of people would have to know. All of the astronauts and their backups, the model and set makers, the film crews, the mission flight staff, the film and video technical production staff. There were six manned landings, they’d have had to do the whole faking thing over and over again for years.

It’s several orders of magnitude bigger than most spy operations, made up of people who aren’t even spies, they’d be mostly civilians with very specific technical skills so you can’t be picky about who you select for it. There is no way this wouldn’t have leaked. Somebody on the inside would have said something to a friend or lover, or got pissed off over something, or changed their political opinions, or got sloppy or just decided to get famous and talk. Especially by now with the Cold War well and truly over. Why wouldn’t they? But no, nothing, not even a hint after fifty years. Ask anybody who knows anything at all about Intelligence operations how plausible that is.
If it works like crosvm on ChromeOS, you can launch a KVM virtual machine and then run containers inside that. It even supports nested virtualization (at least it does on my framework Chromebook) so you can then run vms inside the VM for stuff like multipass or gnome-boxes. It actually works really. Would be amazing if this same pattern is enabled for Android devices with proper vmx/vt extensions on the CPU.

Yes, but this regulation targets everyone in the state of New York, not just renters, and the research I've read seems to indicate that fume hoods protect against this indoor pollution.
This seems like a risky bet.

The monoculture could come and bite hard NYC. A city already a hot target for terrorism... now exposed to the unknown (tiny ?) probability, of 1 EMP, one solar flare, one major blackout via hack or mechanical failure....and its millions without basic heating, and who knows for how long ? an entire winter ?
I actually thought of this because of a line in The West Wing where the President is making a point about representation, then went off on a googling exploration to understand a bit whether it is a meaningful distinction - most of what I read seemed to reinforce the notion that the difference is important.

In day-to-day life it certainly doesn't matter - but when you are attempting to discuss the nature of that political system itself, I don't think it is at all unreasonable to call out the distinction and decide whether to discuss it further. No need for snide jabs.
that explains a lot.
