This is still hung up on the premise that ‘the government’ will conspire to rig or manipulate it. The government isn’t an amorphous entity that responds to its master’s demands: there are arms that operate independently, responding to legislation, rather than orders, and the people working there know that.

They are public servants, not political servants.

Also, the challenges of observability aren’t insurmountable in a digital system. They can be addressed through independent oversight and trusted platform concepts.

People counting votes do make mistakes too. That’s why a vote isn’t counted by a single person - it’s counted by several to avoid human error.
It's doubly annoying because I know it is possible to design storage systems that do not require energy - every computer manufactured in the last 30 years has had them!

> If you’re an introvert and don’t desire social connection and have none, you’re fine

I'd just point out being an introvert does not mean you don't desire or dont have social interaction, just that it can be tiring instead of energizing. You could still very much crave social interaction as an introvert.
Seems doable to be honest—huge spools of undersea cables are deployed on ships all the time.

A spool 20 feet wide has a circumference of ~60 feet, and 3 miles of cable is ~15,000 feet, so 250 loops around the spool. Seems doable.
`man 7 signal` on linux or just `man signal` on macOS will give you more information about the different signals, and shows what the different meanings of those are.
The US version (varies by state) of the fast lane is garbage which is why nobody follows it. If you want a passing lane then you need a non passing lane and I don’t think US drivers are willing to make that concession.
> Blockchains are unnecessary in a world with trusted entities and functional legal frameworks.

This is also an argument against end-to-end encryption and against federated protocols. The reality is that we, in fact, do not have and have never managed to maintain trusted entities and functional legal frameworks for much else... why do you think this is so different?
They don't affect maneuverability all that much when compared to a standard travel trailer. However, you get a lot more living space in the same effective length due to the portion between your pin and rear truck bumper being now livable space.

They do however TOW quite a bit better than a travel trailer as far as comfort. Going from a 28ft TT to a 40ft Toy Hauler yielded a lot better towing/reduction in driver fatigue over long trips (also went from a half-ton truck to 1-ton, so some differences just there as well).

Show HN: Giraffe as a Custom Input Caret
There are quite a few other manned submersibles designed for extreme depth that do allow for the hatch to be opened from the inside, in fact that's most of them. Alvin's design would be a nice starting point. It can be opened both from the outside and from the inside.

As for what the probable cause is: we don't know, we may never know. But with a device that was apparently designed by another party who declared it unfit for purpose anything goes.
So many times I've read a thoughtful comment on these topics, and when I look up it is by giraffe_lady. Like, literally dozens. Probably just an odd conjunction of interests and views.

Anyhow. Keep up the thoughtful writing, and thanks.
Show HN: AfterZhev – A Graphical RPG for Arduino in AVR Assembly
For the last year I've been working on a small RPG, called "AfterZhev", that runs on a single ATmega2560 plus some passive components. The game runs at 60 FPS on a stock 16 MHz ATmega2560, so it's Arduino Mega2560 compatible, and generates a 60 Hz 640x480 VGA video output, with an effective resolution of 120x66 pixels. It also generates 8-bit sound. AfterZhev was written entirely in AVR assembly.

AfterZhev - I think! - is the only graphical RPG that runs on an 8-bit Atmel chip. I'd like to be wrong about that, though.

As the world's official best player, I can beat the game in under three minutes, but it'll probably take an hour or so to complete. Let me know what you think!

OceanGate refused to pay for the manufacturer to build a viewport that would meet the required depth of 4,000 meters.

Yes, you'd think emergency procedures would be at the top of the list right after you made a viable pressure vessel.

They obviously didn't do this. They previously lost the sub for five hours. Why this doesn't have an emergency buoy, or an locator beacon that works when the ship surfaces, I don't know.

I live in place where the parking is super weird. Historical building with historical grounds. We're literally not allowed to resurface the parking because it's all historic. Part of an old steam power plant between cotton mill buildings from the 1800s.

How am I going to fuel my vehicle? We won't be able to install power at limited distribution sites for everyone. 300 residents with their own EVs is going to make shared charging stations a nightmare, and everyone will fight. I know this because we installed a few charging stations and it has already became an issue for the six Teslas on campus. Multiply that by 60.

It's easy to spend five minutes at a gas pump on my way somewhere. No impact to my day. Having to schedule time slots with neighbors is a nightmare.

I don't like any of this.
the people who were doing the harassing and assaulting included law enforcement. Philando Castile was famously killed when he revealed to the officer that he had a (legally) concealed weapon. do you have any other suggestions?

my point here is that there are places in the US that are not safe for various subgroups. in major cities, this is (unfortunately) a common issue but that doesn't mean that it's magically going to go away - the alternative is to be prepared when moving to literally the most dangerous part of the city.
The established players already know there's a market.

The reasons they don't service it are regulatory, not technological, and so an unregulatable Option will eat their lunch.

My understanding is that Tauri allows building the presentation layer with standard web tech (HTML, CSS, JS) while using the system web view to render it. This has the major benefit over Electron that you don't have to ship all of Chrome in your binary. The downside is that now you have to support the peculiarities of the system web view (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc.)

I didn't know this. I created Haskie during the writing of my Memory Allocation post because I found myself trying to pre-empt reader questions a lot and it was weird to read. Creating a proxy for the reader in Haskie made it flow a lot better.

> That's a pretty big stretch to claim that everything related to emotion is equally suspect.

The context is an emotional argument that is directly and explicitly contradicted by data. Yeah, I'd say that's suspect. Do you really disagree? "Facts don't care about your feelings", as it were.

Instead, what we're seeing in this subthread is a bunch of pontification about how the data is measuring the wrong thing or how feelings are important all by themselves. Which is fine. But none of that makes living in SF dangerous when it isn't, so an argument about SF based on safety problems is... just plain wrong.

It could be the same hatch. Very common on submarines.
I expect there will be a lot of books documenting every angle of this incident, if for no other reason than because of the Titanic connection. I'm looking forward to reading the whole story on how this incident happened.
In many places Btc is one of the safest ways to store value. The scenarios it could collapse under are dark. It's biggest enemy is soveriegn currency issuers and banks. They would need to attack it such that holders lose faith in it en masse and collapse it. The successful attack they need to make is dystopian in nature. It would require a global digital identity that was attached to all internet access and an alternative (CBDC) crypto that they forced everyone to use.

Xi Jinping has communicated that lying flat is not part of his vision.

But, it can't be CCP propaganda. See, the key thing about the CCP (particularly Xi) is that the solution to a problem is always more control. The State is always telling you how to live your life--note that Chinese media uses a lot of terms like "should" and "correct", even when talking to foreign countries. Lying flat takes back personal control from the State, by refusing to participate in society, so it actually opposes the CCP's core value.
I understand what you mean, but this is not the point I was trying to get across with my original comment. Maybe that's the reason why I haven't touched this subject. Although both languages can be easily embedded, the programming experience is still different, and there are still lots of "freestanding" systems in both languages, so the language design comparison still applies.

Anything that's not XMPP or based on it is inferior, IMO. And I'm not saying that for the troll (although it's easy to be dogmatic about such things). Facts are XMPP has awesome server implementations that scale to billions of users (as proven by WhatsApp/ejabberd), and developing new clients is made easy by the sheer number of libraries and platforms supported. XMPP is an established IETF standard that has a compact core and extensibility in mind (so you can remain compatible across a large spectrum of users and use cases while rolling out new and unique features). Because it's federated, it's resilient against most types of monopolistic abuses (as seen with slack and other venture capital endeavors). I would only consider P2P and other federated protocols to be worthy of my (peers) time, but I also haven't seen anything else out there that would make me want to leave the comfort of XMPP and my self hosted instance.

I see your logic, but the apple hardware is super-expensive, a single Macbook is the same cost as a single RTX 4090 (not the MBA maybe, but definitely the MBP). So it's not that wide a stretch to say that the 4090 in a normal PC is also a fair comparison as a "widely available" computer.
It's pretty much the exact opposite of designing a spacecraft.
I've understood the term to essentially mean that they are dissatisfied with the culture of "work or die." No money means starvation, homelessness, and death, so whether or not you're conscious of it you're essentially working with a gun to your head.

You're right about that one. My GTX 1070 has been holding up remarkably well, far better than my previous cards did at even half its age. I could easily afford a 4090 but everything this generation is such a terrible value I'd feel like an absolute chump when I can already crank the settings to max on nearly everything I play. My instincts say "buy stuff" but how can I justify it when I can barely tell the difference between native 4K and the upscaled 1080p coming out of my mClassic?

Exactly. There are so many lessons learned already when designing a device like this there is no point in re-learning them the hard way, just adopt a tried and true design.
I agonised over this. I did originally have a version that used 2-element arrays instead, but the resulting code felt more dense and hard to follow.

I figured that people who know enough to point this out already know what's up. People who don't will benefit from the code being easier to read.

Well unless the AI is going to pay you, it’ll be a human reviewing resumes for the foreseeable future.

The truth is that managers often don’t know what specifically they are looking for when they start hiring and modify and update their candidate profile as the interview process goes along.

So resumes need to be written to help you stand out in that process.

The article mentions that this gamepad was released in 2010, but also it's just a slight iteration on Logitech's Wireless RumblePad 2, a wireless version of the RumblePad 2 released around 2004.

Just being around people could be the amount of social connection your friends desire.

I think the comment you replied to is correct. Personally speaking not all social interaction is a positive contributor to one's sanity. Having the same shallow conversations over and over with different individuals while observing people express their narcissistic traits covertly within or over a group can have a corrosive effect on my sanity.

A BBQ could be good but a bit intense for your friends hence their reaction. Maybe inviting them to a more intimate gathering e.g dinner with your own family or a couple of friends would allow them to engage more and allow them to have a deeper connection to others or yourself.

The crypto market was almost 3T two years ago. That’s a 65% decline from ATH two year ago.

Crypto eats itself. Bitcoin will never reach its true potential because every centralized exchange is a scam.
"The entire crypto market is about $1T right now of which btc is about half."

How much of that do you think is Tether-related? If Tether were to, say, turn out to mostly own Chinese real estate bonds that are worthless (no idea if this is true, it's just one suggestion we've heard), and that portion of BTC volume which is related to Tether purchases goes away, how much impact do you think that would have on the price of BTC?

One may wish to distinguish between episodic, procedural, and conceptual memory. IANACP (cognitive psychologist) but my understanding from limited study (much reading and a few low level uni courses for fun in my late 40s) is that these are very different things.

I have crap episodic memory (events), adequate procedural memory (esp. for things learned long ago, but learning new vim motions is really tough, and excellent conceptual memory.

I’ve even deliberately avoided trying to remember events or how-tos in the belief they might take away from conceptual, which is what matters most to me.
