I have known and loved Liero since at least the early '00s, played it endlessly after Friday night dinner with my brothers and featured it on my high school era personal website.

Glad to see it get the love and respect it deserves. We also used infinite reload speed, so that the most powerful weapons, which normally only fired one shot before reload, instead became super weapons that released like a stream of water continuously, a waterfall of big nukes, chiquita bombs, or sniper rifle shots which became a death beam. It was marvelous.

Later on when imitation versions of the game were made with online play, a single game mode, castles with mortars, became the hit style. It was nice, because the game could be so many things, and the slow motion opera of flying through the air in mortar fire was quite something, but it also pared the game down to something so simple that it missed out on dozens of equally fascinating configurations every bit as radical and fun.

It makes sense, to me, that the recent posts would have the most comments. More people are online with each passing day, and some percentage of them join HN.
Not satire. 100% serious. It's made for people like you.
Assuming this includes solar panels, windmills, dams, et al. their ecological negatives are very conveniently evaded with such terminology.
Our Finance Department (i.e. AI powered BI engine running in a datacenter on a VM on a 6 year old server cluster) told us that the difference would be negligible when the FY ends, so we reduced the priority of the feature to 0.
And the estimated cleanup costs are ~500 billion, ~50 billion and ~1 billion. Expensive mistakes.
Not just a sliding scale but an accurate sliding scale with inaccurate labeling resulting in a ban.

> Mostly because Wayland caused a huge amount of uncertainty and fragmentation

The most divisive thing were CSD (client side decorations). That is mostly a solved issue now (options like libdecor to deal with Gnome and etc.), though an annoying one. What other fragmentation was there?

The article was pretty on point in general anyway.
Increasing block size decreases decentralization. (Or rather, increases centralization.) Satoshi's true vision was that decentralization was a prerequisite for everything else. Block size increases presuppose infinite scaling of bandwidth, processing speed, and storage, but we do not have that. Because those things are scarce, block size must be as well, if the goal is to maintain decentralization.

Also in the end it doesn't matter what is in the Bitcoin Core github. It's a network and you can run any variant you want. Bitcoin Cash tried and failed, because in the end it is not what the users, the node operators, chose to adopt.
I actually meant for creating entirely new open source projects, but that wasn't clear. Updated the description.
You and I must work in very different contexts, as these questions are so obvious that they first seemed like satire to me.

You enforce API contracts in a monolith (or any codebase, really) via an at-least-modest amount of typing and a compiler. You diagnose performance issues via any number of tools, prominently including metrics and profilers.

My context for this is a lot of years working with backend languages like Java, Rust, etc. though the same assurances and tooling are available for most every platform I’m aware of.

Here is my entry, on the way to Cwmyoy in Llanthony:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/Q4verMiEmXk4ZZVs9?g_st=ic

There are “not suitable for motor vehicles” signs at each end but I completely missed them. I approached from the other end which is far less discouraging.

Quite fun really, and it led me to an invitation to the local history society and some beautiful old homes in the area. Cwmyoy still had a school and a pub after the war as well as, of course, the famous crooked church. The pub fell down, the school is a private home, but the church is still standing.

People used to live in the countryside. Now they just sleep there (or drive through it.)
I think this might apply to people who do a variety of activities that might not fit into traditional genres, like motorcycling, horseback riding, ATVs, skiing, skateboarding, scooter/cycle commuting, military/police, etc

I've been using Kagi for a few months now. It's able to find things Google doesn't on regular basis and I think the results are better in general. For some things Google is still better but then you can easily use it as well using !g command which is very convenient.
Ability to blacklist or promote websites along with ability to use arrows to go through results are reasons good enough for me to switch even if the search results weren't better tbh.
The personal issue I have with all those countries involved in psyops is that the try to force their own opinion upon others, and by definition of how we structured our planet that should have been the work of diplomats.

Nations are not willing to find common ground anymore because of this, because their own people "forgot" their own values and are radicalized into useful fools for the leaders that are usually just unsatisfiably power hungry.

I fear that the high level of education of those nations (including Russia's which had many great authors and philosophers, for example) are lost in these cultural purges. And that's what I cannot understand and won't tolerate. We need to keep history alive and the knowledge that was created out of it, because we won't be able to learn from our mistakes otherwise.

But educated people are not easy to control, that's why right-wing populism only works on the uneducated which are slowly assimilating the neighboring population on the psychogram.

All the countries "in the middle" which didn't want to be involved in the West vs East debate have turned much more to communism; but not out of cultural values but more because of opportunism. And that likely will result in them being responsible for killing their own people soon enough, and that's what I would define as collateral damage that could have been prevented. Communism, by definition, has to eliminate rogue elements because it's not designed for compromise. All direct-elected parties in history at one point or the other used their power to eliminate other parties to guarantee their rule for generations to come.

In an ideal world, something like territorial disputes would be a tournament on an isolated island in the middle of the ocean; where the civilian population isn't affected, infrastructure isn't damaged, and the ground isn't poisoned with chemicals, gunpowder, metals, and plagues. The German state is still busy clearing more than 20 unexploded bombs per day, every day, more than 80 years after WW2.

The most damage wars cause is not for the current generation, but for the generations to come that have to clean up the mess of their old, idiotic grandpas that were too stubborn and too blinded to find a compromise with their neighbors. I hope at some point we (as the human species) realize that the male gender is a little too unreflected, too proud, and too stubborn in social contexts, and that's what's bad for politics.

(This comment is likely being downvoted to hell, because I'm not patriotic enough. But honestly at this point I don't care anymore about the opinion of radicalized idiots online anymore. Idiots by definition are the radicals, and the smart ones act with kindness and understanding.)
Kagi Summary:

Military and intelligence agencies conducted extensive research into mind control, brainwashing, hypnosis, drugs, and other means of manipulating human perception during the Cold War era. This was known as "brain warfare."
The CIA investigated claims of psychic abilities and UFOs, seeing them as potential weapons that could influence mass hysteria or disrupt defenses. They sought to debunk UFO beliefs through media campaigns.
Early computer programs like ELIZA showed how simple linguistic tricks could create the illusion of intelligence, influencing how people perceive machines.
New technologies are enabling highly personalized and targeted manipulation of individual perceptions through media and recommendation algorithms.
UFOs became a tool for psychological operations, helping cover advanced military programs and creating plausible deniability for secret aircraft.
Illusionists and magicians taught covert agents how to use deception and surreptitiously deliver drugs or toxins.
The boundaries between human and machine perception are blurring, with AI able to generate personalized hallucinations at scale.
Cognitive warfare aims to exploit vulnerabilities in how we perceive the world through adversarial hallucinations and prompt injections.
Reality itself has become suspect, with everything seen as potential memes or cognitive attacks vying to manipulate us.
Recent U.S. government discussions of UFOs touch on long-running military-intelligence programs while provoking confusion and speculation.
"Natural gas (also called fossil gas, methane gas or simply gas) is a naturally occurring mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons consisting primarily of methane in addition to various smaller amounts of other higher alkanes." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas

Alright, so it goes by several names but it's sold to consumers as "Natural Gas". I'm not sure if it was green washing, but obviously the marketers were going for the most palatable name for consumers.
I think the above comment refers to common Wayland compositor design using implicit synchronization that's aligned with ideas of OpenGL / EGL. It doesn't have to be an inherent part of Wayland world, but it de-facto became one. Explicit synchronization being an idea from Vulkan / WSI requires a lot effort to be plumbed through all layers.

There was a good post about it: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2022/06/09/brid...

It doesn't mean what Wayland somehow is incompatible with such ideas, but there is clearly a lot of work to do for them to become fully applicable.
Well XSS prevention for one.

Syntax aware template languages are a thing in the web space. They aren't the most popular but security people often like them because they lead to less mistakes. Some examples include soy, latte, and hack's XHP.

This.

One thing that I noticed working in 3 different continents is that the learning/teaching on technology (CS?) is highly fragmented and it's quite hard to find some "common ground" in practices and methods and mesh all of that in a socio-technological place makes everything harder.

A weak generalization to illustrate the point: A [Continent A] developer will be more resource aware due to their natural lack of, an [Continent B] developer since it has more human capital available (better mentors, big ecosystem, huge amount of finance capital) will have more room for scaling ideas, a [Continent C] developer will have a better understanding of the intricacies due to their formal education and cultural aspects.

Placing all those people underneath a tech project and not having a program to terraform biases and level them to a shared and understandable set of expectations is the root cause of all this debacle.

Perhaps Standard Notes? They aspire to be sustainable in the sense of planning their paid tiers to sustain their product over the long term and design the product to be consistent over the long term too.

Yes, but that doesn't really change my point much.
This results in people optimizing local maximums, ultimately the real product suffers.

The developers also assume their product is relevant when perhaps it no longer is in the wider context of the business.

There are two things. First, a distributed exchange can be built around an AMM, so match making is essentially lazy because you are selling into and buying from an automated liquidity pool, instead of depending on market makers and matching orders. Second, there are order book based protocols that implement order matching as a decentralized consensus mechanism. So the blockchain itself can be a matching engine, provided that's what it's execution environment is built to do.

Underlying all the buzzwords, blockchains are about distributed communications with economic incentives attached to them and a more complex leader election mechanism. So there can be many things that can have the term blockchain slapped on them with a bit of tweaking.
Many have ways for users to define routes more specifically than a couple of basic options though, and arguably 'user safety' should be a critical feature of all of them.

Also, thinking "we don't need this feature because none of our less popular rivals have it" is not how you build a world class product. This is Google. They have the resources to be better than the other ones.
Okay — sell me on why I should use this coin.

(I feel inclined to agree, but I want more solid reasoning.)
Carbon nanotubes really sounds like the next asbestos or pfas.
It's often dubbed as "clean energy"
The argument is that humans are part of nature and therefore anything made by humans is still natural.

I tend to agree with this - there is a dichotomy here, but it is "natural" vs. "supernatural" - not "natural" vs "synthetic". I think it would be fine if for most cases we simply said "man-made" vs "not man-made" as it succinctly describes the dichotomy we're aiming for.

The "greenwashing" here is that you _could_ call anything that's not a ghost or a god "natural" by a certain definition...
> Also Mi Fitness cannot download data of previous date out of the device

Exactly the reason I ditched it. It stopped auto-syncing data after some stupid android-app split. Like they have 3-4 apps? All similar, but supports different hardware.

In Mi Band 2 / 3 days it was working quite good.
Sure, but even then, not all traders. Preference will depend on risk tolerance and other factors. The point is: just because there is a 0.3% fee (or lower, as sibling comment noted), does not mean this option will never be viable or preferable to many users.
Baidu, the Chinese tech titan, has flexed its AI muscle, announcing that its ChatGPT-like chatbot, Ernie Bot, has crossed the remarkable threshold of 100 million users. This impressive feat, unveiled at a recent deep learning summit, marks a significant victory for Baidu in the increasingly fierce battleground of AI-powered chatbots.
Lots of architects / tech leads read this instead as: "design the software to fit the maximum team cognitive load that you desire”. They actually over-complicate software builds in order to justify headcount later. "Oh whoops yes we now need a whole full time Ops team, don't worry I know just the guys".
It is because that's literally an architectural choice which prevents you from easily moving out a module from your "monolith" to another machine on the network, and causes the bugs.

The language & memory architecture... are an architecture matter.
Yeah that's why I added my conditionals. Obviously the goal is the broader product/service at large
You’re 100% correct. Sorry. Dimensional analysis FTW.

My broader point is this: as we deploy solar, mass production and learning curves will reduce costs. But diminishing returns will increase them. Given insolation is not limitless, we should see that curve stretch upwards and eventually intersect other power sources. To suggest otherwise is to say we should monosource solar.
I'm working on a language that's like it. But my esoteric stuff aside, the closest production system we have like that is Erlang (and Elixir, if it's your thing).

Then that is an administrative obstacle, not technological. Nuclear power by itself shouldn't be (and isn't) that expensive and can be made much cheaper with standardized mass production.

It's a shame that Vogtle NPP is now made to be a poster child of "nuclear is inviably expensive organizational mess" argument whereas none of its problems are the technology's fault.

If we truly want to decarbonize, nuclear power is absolutely a part of the solution, together with renewables. Given the climate emergency that we are facing, ignoring nuclear’s massive benefits and not removing unnecessary obstacles from its way is almost criminal at this point.
Even with such a basic system you immediately start to get self-organising little bubbles of life. If something had a way to replicate in these bubbles, you would have the first cell.
> I must admit I have never actually built a production service using CGI/C/httpd

Nor would you probably want to. In addition to the security nightmere that hooking an inexperienced c programmer's c program directly to the internet is, CGI is not really known for scaling all that well. Like if you were really doing this on a real high performance site you'd probably want to use FastCGI. But also you just wouldn't do this. If you want to be low level, at least use rust.

Clearly theres something I have failed to communicate, you have an experience that does not match the most programmers and I pointed that out.

As I stated in my post above, (after someone asked me a direct question) that: despite answering the question, it was the wrong question and not the point I was making.
Three Mile Island is what killed nuclear power in the US. It wasn’t environmentalists, it was basically everyone and it was a pretty galvanizing moment in American politics. Nuclear power even before three Mile island was a mess in America, with horrendous mismanagement. It’s easy to sit in 2023 and pin nuclear powers failure on some political movement you want to grind an axe with, but ignoring the context of 1979 and the events that actually killed nuclear power doesn’t help with understanding how to exit the paralysis.

Plants do use CO2, but we have also stripped the planet of an awful lot of its wild lands. Oceans might help us over a long horizon, but we shouldn’t expect plant life is surging planet wide due to the excess co2. That’s just not what’s happening in actual reality.

Volcanoes emit on the upper end of estimates an average of 0.6B metric tons of CO2 per year in total. Humans emitted an approximate 37B in 2022. It’s just a falsehood or delusion to claim volcanoes emit more CO2 than humans.

A lot of factors come together whenever the term Microservie or Monolith arises:

- Monolith has implicitly replaced the word "Legacy" system

- Microservices were (/are still) the cool thing to do in a conference driven industry. They were championed by big tech because they desire granular and flexible deployment systems (whereas in smaller products your code just needs to run and everything else is just overhead). Having multiple instances of a MS can fix some performance issues as well.

- People rarely talk about failing with their new (microservice) projects.

- Microservices can be a technical solutions for human problems. Large teams benefit from distributed deployments due to organizational reasons. They also force you to think more about modelling your responsibilities, which might be add odds with your company culture.

To me, Microservices are not an architecture pattern but a deployment strategy. Obviously, you want high cohesion and modules, which you might or might not get with Microservices. It comes down to understanding your problem domain.

If you have a modular monolith, you can still deploy it separately at a later point if the need arises. Even having a shared database is not a problem if your modules are only using the respective tables they own (this can be enforced with permissions).
I don't know about routing, but in conflict areas they do add generic disclaimers / warnings that information may be outdated, conditions may be rapidly changing and that users should pay attention to "real-world conditions".

But well, the goal is about increasing consumption. No matter if we like it or not, it will increase massively - probably more than an order of magnitude overall - this century, simply because countries that are now poor, will no longer be so once massive amounts of renewable energy become the norm. We have to decrease pollution while also quickly increasing consumption - probably at same rate as in the "main" fossil fuel era - in 1870..1970, between oil becoming a thing, and Arab embargo.
