> HTTP/2 fans will often to DV comments where I praise 1.1 pipelining since "HOL blocking" is one of their "justifications" for creating HTTP/2. But I'm not using a web browser and all pages I'm requesting come from the same host. "HOL blocking" is not a problem I have ever had

HoL blocking issues would only happen for requests to the same host anyways. That situation does not apply to resources hosted on separate hosts. The reason its not an issue for you is you are basically using http for bulk transport. You are not latency sensitive and rendering is not being blocked by multiple dependent subresources with different latency characteristics, which is the problem http/2 is trying to solve.

That's great for you and all, but its a little like saying that fancy GPU cards are pointless if you are only using emacs. Certainly true, but also kind of a stupid statement to say technology made for a very different usecase doesn't provide benefits when used in a totally different way than intended. Hammers are bad at screwing in screws is hardly a news story.

Not a general kernel facility that I know of. I use nfscache every day though; my Steam data directory lives on NFS, and I set up nfscache with a 100GB LRU storage. This way I can avoid the "backup/restore" dance and have all my games installed, at the cost of waiting up to a few minutes to warm the cache for a new game.

Globally, sure. In the US, it looks like iOS is about 57% market share. I suspect it's even higher in New York City.

It's pure speculation, but I wonder if the average car thief is more likely to own an iPhone as a form of status symbol? Or, is the average car thief more likely to be using burner phones from Walmart?
I was just saying the same thing to my wife today. I expected Bing Chat to be great - it's GPT-4, but then it can also use the internet to fill in gaps in its knowledge. But instead all it generally does is summarize your question into a web search, and then summarize the results back to you. As you said, I generally feel like I could do that better myself. I generally find the results from ChatGPT/GPT-4 to be much more useful. Of course, the downside, and the reason why I presume Bing went that way, is that the ChatGPT results are unsourced, and indeed, are more likely to be hallucinated. But they're also far more likely to be useful!

I'm very much looking forward to trying out the new web plugin for ChatGPT; I hope it will work like I had expected Bing Chat to—basically GPT-4, with an added ability to search the web and incorporate results into its answers, but without being limited to only doing that.
I have to agree that Heathkit instructions often carried completely bogus theories of operation. I remember my 3-transistor experimental circuits set. When the manual tried to explain transistors it had a little guy at the top of the stairway which was the emitter waiting at a door that was opened and closed by a guy from the base wire and when they went through the door they went out through the collector (PNP transistor). Semiconductors are so simple that it would have been easier to give a real explanation than this ridiculous piece of bologne!
I subscribed to both the Experian and Transunion apps. Both I quickly open either app and lock or unlock my credit(Transunion allows you to lock/unlock Equifax too).

I can also see my credit scores as much as I want and ensure that I am using no more then 30% of my total accumulated credit limit. For example say I have 10 credit cards equally $100,000 combined then as long as don't have credit debt higher then $30,000 my credit remains good to very good to excellent. Your score will be negatively affected if your debt went to 31K and higher.

Another good thing is both apps alert me immediately when theres a change to my credit.

I pay about $50 a month for both, expensive yet well worth it especially if your looking to buy a house(s) and you overall really care about your financial health/score for present day or the future.
I see, newlines are missing, will try to fix soon.
If an econ forum started a discussion of physics with discussion of what the ether teaches us, it would be quickly dismissed. Yet HN's fine, again, with the equivalent as the starting block, indeed highest voted comment, for discussion of an econ topic. Wisdom of the crowds perhaps, though crowds of people did once stone crows.
I use an early '00s TI calculator daily. It's great for quick calculations that are a bit beyond my mental math capabilities.

I've considered these types of mods before. The biggest reason I haven't is the ROI feels impossibly low. A set of 4 disposal batteries last >6 months. A lithium ion battery lasts ~4 years before needing to be replaced. Doing a lithium ion mod would save me less than 32 disposable batteries before I would need to replace the rechargeable battery. It seems way way faster to just keep some disposable batteries in my desk, and not have to worry about charging or replacing a lithium pack. This is cool, but feels impractical.
TIL, thanks. Guess they are crazy after all.
Possible, but wow that must’ve been quick. The whole thing was over in a few seconds.
I find the idea that the US' willingness to run deficits is an uniquely American thing very curious.

To me it is obvious that any country in the world would do systematic deficits if they could do it without tanking the value of their currency.

Upon re-reading this I think I identified the gap in your mental model:
There’s no such thing as “LN transaction chains.”

Every LN transaction is literally a bitcoin transaction. Usually these are not broadcast to peers for settlement on the base layer, but the latest transaction always can be broadcast, just like any other Bitcoin transaction.

I don’t follow other L2s closely, so maybe this differs from Ethereum and its derivatives. But the Bitcoin Lightning Network is 100% Bitcoin.
I don't think that we'll ever get aligned on defining intelligence. We'll be busy debating it and one day look up and ... sh*
It also seems to be very US-centric and seems to put a strong focus on reporting on the economy. I personally found nothing particularly relevant to my existence featured on the site.

These two biases are probably indicative of a host of other, less obvious biases. To be clear: all media is biased, because it is created by biased humans and it has been well demonstrated that algorithms replicate the biases of their creators.

A good newspaper/website knows their audience and delivers reporting relevant to it in a language they appreciate and cognizant of its societal impact.
The temperature equalizing sounds interesting. I'd try Joeveo out if one happened to be offered by a friend or something, but it'd have to be pretty special to displace my Thermos travel mug. I've been using the same one for 15 years and it still keeps my drink warm for hours.

Lid is tight and leak proof. I trust it inside my pack. The handle and carabiner are essential components too. Handle hangs over bike handlebars, side of canoe or seat, belt. Carabiner does, well it does what carabiners do!

Absolutely right about the paper. I use copier paper to write on, and a specific brand of it, because even between the brands of identical looking paper there are huge differences. Some branks seem to suck up the ink like blotting paper with more feathering than an explosion in a pillow factory, others are just too rough and feel horrible to write on. The ink also makes a big difference. Some inks just kinda suck, others work really well.
(Currently I'm running Platinum Blue-Black in a cheap Platinum Plaisir on 'Double A' brand copy paper. Parker Quink also works very well for me.)
The last time anything like that happened was what, over a decade ago? People forget (for real).

Also, no one seems to have lost a dollars yet in this crisis (on the depositor side), so hard to say anyone ‘lost’ this time either.
Thank you!

How many companies do you think have people who know security as well as Azure, GCP or AWS (disclaimer: my employer)?

> If a country were to overtake, they would have to let go of the savings culture and almost spend like an American, which may not actually be the best thing for most countries.

Yes correct. And this is not a good thing even for US. Since the consumption economy in US is driven largely by debt, what will happen when there is a default (which seems very likely to happen soon considering how US banks are collapsing like dominoes)? Who is going to bail out the US economy? Sure you can bail out banks when there is a banking crisis and is localized to only the banking sector (like 2008). But what will you do when there is an economic crisis that affects everyone? That is the real issue here. US National debt is at an all time high and is not slowing down. QE is still on full swing. One day it is all going to come crashing down. With de-dollarization, the strength of the US economy shifts from being able to control international trade and also drive up its own internal debt to finance World economy (by providing much needed liquidity for international trade through its SWIFT systems) to only having to drive up its own internal debt to finance US economy (which has all the potential to lead to runaway inflation). This shift is going to happen in the coming decade or two and I hope US Citizens are aware and prepared for the fallout.
Brazil isn't regulating their state, they're regulating the internet.

Your tough-love rejoinder here feels wildly inappropriate for a place with "Hacker" in the name. This place should cherish some freedom & some ability to let different people & different places try different things. Instead we're all being tied down by any state anywhere that wants to make any rule.

How does this play keep playing out? What happens when rules are in conflict? What happens when Brazil decides one thing has to be said and another state decides that is fake news & can't be said. This post is about Brazil telling Google they can't advocate for their position at all, but what they're advocating against is compelled speech. What if that compelled speech directly conflict with another states laws?

I don't see any long term play where any of this ever gets better. The legal climate will only get worse and worse here. There's too many states, and there's next to no hope for making speech possible again. The legal condition for ability to think and speak freely has gotten incredibly murky in the past couple of years, and this tough love proposal to just deal with it, to respect everyone, obey all the laws: it has no quarter in my heart. It should be obviously terrible & awful a situation.
> printed out of normal filaments, the cup holder will break long before anything happens to the laptop

Really? I can see it with PLA, but i thought PETG was supposed to handle it fine (as long as you are not using it with giant glasses filled with liquid). And PETG is pretty much the second most common type of a filament after PLA.

Note: i could be entirely wrong about this, but I was under the impression that this use-case is exactly what PETG is made to handle.
You’ve just described days of paperwork at most banks, in my experience, and with large amounts, things can get stuck on ways that will be days more.

If you’re dealing with large sums regularly, that quickly balloons into an unmanageable mess.

This is not even remotely close to 2008… This figure conveniently excludes the largest 6 failures of 2008, TARP, and major international banks and insurers simultaneously affected.

As a reference the prospect of AIG failing without a bailout was so significant it became an international issue threatening both US and EU economic stability. SVB and FNB are borderline irrelevant in comparison.

The amounts reflected in SVB and FNB are also exaggerated as the money isn’t “lost” as if parent can obtain liquidity elsewhere (via government or merger) the asset will return principal + interest at maturity.

While there's a variation in how clever/complex pluralization code can be, there's only one class-table correspondence convention that doesn't end with codepaths trying some level of automatically changing the names of things behind your back... and it's singular table names.
I'm sorry, flagging people for calling the current government crony capitalist and Hindu majoritarian is absolutely not fair. It is absolutely a both sides argument because you think there is any other way to put it. Especially when the current government welcomes rapists with flower garlands because they are upper caste and actively favors certain business groups openly. It's ok, I don't expect you to understand our politics.
If Microsoft had held onto it, their investment in Apple would have been more profitable than anything else Microsoft did in the past 20 years.
For (sequentially) writing a file this is true. But a database might be more complex, as the underlying I/O is transparent to the user. The database needs a semantics to indicate that "this ingestion will produce a large bulk of sequential writes".
Renewables Have Pulled Ahead of Coal. What’s Next?
Honestly even the previous stable edition of Next.js before server components would be fine to peg to.

But history has shown that when a framework or backend was sufficiently popular that people did indeed step in to support it. It happened with Node.js itself (which Next is built on) a while back with what was then called io.js, before io.js eventually re-merged with Node.js after the organizational kinks were worked out.
Jesus Tap-dancing Christ
I think you’re being a little hyperbolic. The facts are that there’s a handful of popular servers that are easy to find, a few that seem popular in certain countries. This is all very very like email, which people don’t have trouble understanding the mental model of. And furthermore, all those popular instances federate with each other, also like email. (I assume there are a handful of politically-fringe servers which don’t federate with the mainstream, which is also not that different than email, where the few services most everyone uses won’t accept mail from any IP without an established good reputation.) this means users don’t really have to ask any questions about who federates with whom. And it doesn’t matter which instance you join so there’s no risk to picking the wrong one. Me, I picked one with a short name for ease of typing, and also picked one where I could get my 3-letter username. (Another thing that sucks about a single namespace: there’s one single “SJP” or “GOB” in the whole world with Twitter.)

So I’m saying that Mastodon’s elevator pitch is “It’s like Twitter but they have different servers, but you don’t really have to care about that because they’re all connected, like email.” That’s not on par with compiling your own Linux kernel like you’re making it out to be.
It's an API. Yes. But how it works? How to feed content and make it answer questions?
That would work nicely :)

A Beginner’s Guide to Data Engineering: Understanding the Core Components
They gave up on FirefoxOS too soon. They also didn't promote it in the markets where it could have made a real impact. I live in India, and a dirt cheap FirefoxOS phone would have done very well here if only they had made it easy to purchase. I had one of their early phones, but I had to get mine from the US.

After being abandoned by Mozilla, FirefoxOS was resurrected as KaiOS. For a while, it was the second most popular mobile operating system in India, mostly because Reliance decided to use it for some of their low-end Jio phones[1]. Where would FirefoxOS be today if Mozilla had stuck with it? If hundreds of millions of people had their first taste of the Internet via FirefoxOS and not Android?

I've been a Firefox user since 2004, but I don't think Mozilla understands how to conduct business. They're an ideological organization first and foremost. It's not a bad thing -- we need somebody to stand up to Big Tech -- but it means that they probably won't be taking a big share of any market except by complete accident.

Funny is how much is this SF for you. In country where I live these people are called "słup". Literally "pole". In english it would be something related to "bogus company". People who for money, drugs or alcohol do stuff for you. Like buy and register sim card. Provide you their identity details with ID. For 200 USD they can even go to the bank and create account providing all details to you. You even can register fake companies on these people if you get them flat, clean clothes and something to drink every week :) It is so many scams in central and east Europe, that for me funny and SF is that if you do not understand something or you didn't see it, it's a fake in your opinion.
Of course, but other than in C++ you need to use ways and means to achieve this - never hitting u compiled code - that are not very natural to Julia. Yes it may be possible to compile Julia code to binaries, but it obviously is neither straightforward nor widely used.

Trammell Venture Partners: The Emerging Bitcoin-Native Venture Capital Landscape
Each of those companies does indeed seem to be a net negative.
'Global revolution' was very unlikely in 1870 mostly due to communication speed/bandwidth (telegraph), was made unlikely in 1970 by CIA, United Fruit Company, and various other similar organizations with murderous leaders across the world.

However, global revolution in 2070 is almost a certainty, too many things are getting aligned, to name some:

- climate change: water wars have already started, but they are not yet visible [1] [2], once we get past 2 degrees warmer world we will have unprecedented weather all day, all night. What kind of "border patrol" can stop 3 billion 'immigrants' [3]? A murderous one, sure.

- good-enough statistical learning to automate 99.99% of jobs (from the current 3.32 billion jobs, by 2070, very hard to say what is not automate-able, but let's say around 300,000 people (1.5 Microsofts) continue to have jobs looking after the robots that make robots that make robots).

- ridiculous biotech advancements: from forgetting cancer ever existed to limb regeneration [4], it's all on the pipeline for the next 20-30 years.

- even greater financial consolidation: we will see the $10 trillion company in the next 5-7 years (probably Microsoft), meanwhile BlackRock, Vanguard, and friends will get even bigger, soaring past $100 trillion AUM in 10-12 years (currently at ~$20 trillion, BlackRock + Vanguard + State Street). Are there really any borders if everything is owned/controlled by one company?

The future, as it was in 1870, and in 1970, no matter how many veins Ronald Reagan and acolytes burst, will always be socialism or barbarism. Don't get me wrong, I 100% bet on barbarism, your species doesn't deserve socialism. Nevertheless, the global revolution will come, too little, too late, but just in time to leave this planet in the arms of a better caretaker, one without 4 billion years of history caring only for the local glucose gradient.

On a serious note, Neon is Postgres and Planetscale is MySQL. Neon has 100% compat with Postgres and Planetscale supports most but not all MySQL. Neon has unlimited storage a single node compute. Planetscale is scale out architecture on top of Vitess.

I thought of Mastodon as more of a protocol than a single entity, so I didn’t even realize there was a “Mastodon” entity or “Mastodon’s app.”
