A truly distributed exchange is a protocol and a protocol doesn't really need to make money though. Atleast not in the same way as an exchange needs to. It's only cost is R&D. The users of the protocol pays the fee for both execution and storage, so there is no cost on the exchange side. Ofcourse there is the cost of running a frontend or providing your powerusers easy access to trading data, but that could be a paid service.
I wish I could find a decent way to make VSCode work properly on Android.
Thanks for your insights!
A picture or video of this could be worth a thousand words.
Benevolent as the west? Really? Tell that to: Korea, Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Libya, India, Palestine… I don’t even want to go on because the list of places screwed over by the west is too long. To say “one can argue” is so handwavey you might’ve broke your wrists.

How many places has China fucked up like the west has? You argue they should be suppressed based on warped hypotheticals, but the reality is China is a better steward of the globe than the west, and this century will bear that truth.
I doubt there's any Android exclusive feature to apps developed by Google. Sometimes feels like they even prioritise iOS over Android.
The Iraq thing is constantly brought up on HN, as is the healthcare issue. Literally in every thread that's in any way related.

And when you call people morons you won't gain any sympathy. If you get "moderated" for this I'll be glad.
Thanks! Will check those projects out.
In general I think it’s much more about utility and marketing spend versus convenience. Incentives like rewards are what keeps you a good citizen. Decentralized projects find it hard to achieve critical mass when they rely on personal ideology as the main driver of adoption, particularly in spheres where large centralized alternatives exist.

Trackers and crypto are popular because they offer utility to users that you don’t find in centralized systems. You can even see the popularity of trackers shift as centralized services like Netflix appeared and then got worse. Crypto is all about ‘degen gamblers’ but as a result has oodles of cash, that in turn they’ve been spending hand over fist on marketing to get in more greater fools. The problem for crypto is how to square the utility they provide with the ideological mission whilst still managing to maintain momentum when arguably moving to the latter cannibalizes the former.
To continue your chain of thought, if ad revenue is the primary goal, why does it show me hotels in my home town?
You focused on just one clause. Consider the whole:

1) Three dimensions, not two. Therefore distance is not the square root of (delta-x * delta-x + delta-y * delta-y) but the cube root of (delta-x * delta-x + delta-y * delta-y + delta-z * delta-z). More operations.

2) Three dimensions, not two. As you start increasing the number of dimensions, the simulation feels more and more empty. One hundred particles on a line a thousand units long is crowded. One hundred particles on a grid of one thousand by one thousand feels like more "room" for that same number of particles. In a volume of a thousand by a thousand by a thousand, one hundred particles feels too few, and one would naturally increase the number of particles. Naively, which is to say without optimizations, the number of force computed grow as N-squared. More operations.

3) Cube falloff goes by r * r * r, rather than r * r. More operations, by fifty percent. And I did suggest some more exotic functions in there which certainly could be more daunting.
Ask HN: Is there an index of bounties for entire open source projects?
Bounties for creating new open source projects, rather than just bounties for features and fixes in existing ones. I did some searching and couldn't find anything.
Probably not, they're more concerned blocking Winnie the Pooh memes. Rocket stage with toxic propellant landing on some poor peasants' rice paddy? Not a concern. Happens all the time. It's the price of progress: BeiDou and satellite TV used to disseminate CCP worldview.
Hm. I don't think it would be that hard it would be to remake HN's UI using an old school UI component library. The up/down arrows could use the up/down buttons on this screenshot from macos's old color picker:

https://guidebookgallery.org/pics/gui/interface/dialogs/colo...

... But limited to only allow you up/downvote between -1 and 1.

Everything else could be done with buttons and a TextField / Label for comments and replying.

The web is a bit weird in that it taught us to build every UI as a giant scrolling document. And HN is no different. A more "classic" UI approach would be something like Thunderbird mail - with 2 panes: a "comments" tree on top and a "message body" down the bottom. That would be harder to read (since you'd need to click on the next message to jump to it). But it might encourage longer, more thoughtful replies.

Thunderbird: https://lwn.net/Articles/91536/

Or you could reimplement HN with classic controls and something like TB 114's UI:

https://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/account_ma...

Probably still worse that what HN is now though.

For active traders, huge.
Sad to see this isn't the top comment. Unless or until you have a built-in source of guaranteed demand - the only thing that matters is product agility in order to find customer demand. Without demand, you have no revenue, investors lose interest, the money runs out, and people stop paying you to work on that system. Then everything gets thrown out. And "demand" is not "we have paying customers" - it's having sufficient revenue, for whatever that means for that particular org.
Yeah thats fair. I have a friend building a personal thought management system, like roam research. Her goal is to store everything she thinks in her life.

In the 8 years or so she's been working on it she's recorded about 100k thoughts. So, 1 million thoughts is probably enough to store everything you think in an entire lifetime. Thats a bit of a grim thought, but its probably about the right performance target for something like that. There's something very calming about knowing that if it performs well with 1M thoughts, its fit for purpose.

Its nice to have benchmarks like that.

For what its worth, I'd recommend explaining all of that with the benchmark explanation. "Measured on a 2017 macbook air with the text of War and Peace". Seeing Bear crash doesn't really tell me enough about whats going on.

What does natural gas have to do with greenwashing? It is naturally occurring gas; different from other hydrocarbon gas that is man-made.
Additionally, increased photosynthetic yield on some staple crops may not necessarily be the win that some people suggest it might be. While this is an area not yet very well studied, a number of papers have raised concerns regarding the nutritional quality of the resulting crops. Humans, after all, do not survive on a diet of exclusively carbohydrates.

See for example, Ebi, Kristie L., and Irakli Loladze. "[Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations and climate change will affect our food's quality and quantity.](https://doi.org/10.1016/S2542-5196(19)30108-1)" The Lancet Planetary Health 3, no. 7 (2019): e283-e284.
World's smallest typeface for 36 alphanumeric characters, to be exact. :-) There are some small typefaces for other scripts; my go-to example is the Misaki font [1] that supports all JIS X 0208 character within 8x8 pixels (spacing included, and most glyphs are within 7x7 bounds). It is incredibly hard to recognize some individual characters at this size, but the overall text is surprisingly readable.

A distributed exchange is a matching service. The trade execution is distributed. But somebody has to maintain the order book and means for distributing and displaying it. When there's a match, something tells two smart contracts to talk to each other and go. The blockchain itself is not a matching engine.
Dexes have existed for years. Uniswap is the largest one with the highest volume. It exists as a set of onchain smart contracts, and thousands of independent liquidity providers set positions within price ranges while an onchain routing system directs swaps between tokens according to deterministic rules. The fee for swaps is configurable by the LPs, and can be anywhere from .01 to 1%, but 0.3% is probably the most common fee charged.

Celebrate Your Success – Share Your 2023 Year in Review
I wanted to share my messy 2023 journey that many of you might relate to. This year, my goal was to dive into the startup world, but things didn't go as planned. Started a couple of projects, but somewhere along the way, I lost interest and having no cofounder didn't help.

When December arrived, I was sad that I didn't come up with anything. That's when I realised instead of waiting for the perfect idea, I should focus of building a simple app from start to finish. I searched for ideas that can be implemented in a month.

And thus, https://www.purva.io was born. I'm not even sure if I can call it as a SaaS product, but that's not my primary goal. I just want to create something that sees the light of day.

Check out Purva.io here and let me know what you think. Let's share our success stories and inspire each other!

Here's a sample page for OpenAI. Please check it out https://www.purva.io/2023-year-in-review/openai
Looking at the trend since 1950, I’m struck by two details:

1. We reached peak coal in 2007. Coal generation has declined since.

2. We reached a consumption plateau also in 2007. Electricity use has been more or less level since.

https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/electricity/electricity-...

The neighboring chart that tracks renewables since 1950 is also interesting. Growth in renewables really started around 2007 with growth in wind being the primary contributor. Growth in solar has made a smaller but significant contribution in the past decade or so.

When I was little and we'd get ice cream, my mother would get each of the kids a cone but not for herself. Then she'd do rounds and eat a little from each of ours.

We were annoyed, but she explained that this process is called "taxes".
The Fukushima cleanup costs are estimated at damn near a half a trillion dollars!

Going through the Caldecott tunnel on hwy 24 causes Google Maps to immediately read all stops on my route. This was on iOS. Switched to Apple Maps and only noticed one minor glitch, getting on hwy 13 from Moraga rd it thinks the light is before the entrance. I always thought Apple was far behind Google in maps but that’s not my experience.
It doesn't really take anyone to run them, though. At their core, they're just a bunch of smart contracts. The web UI is a) optional and b) can be hosted by anyone, even locally. The bigger problem is that providing liquidity isn't really a good deal in general.
+1 to that. Also get 120Hz if you can (but has it's own headaches to solve, including e.g. HDMI 2.1 isn't supported in open source drivers).

I recently started using a LG 42" C2. Coming from two 27" monitors at 2560x1440, the 42" 3840x2160 is about the same pixel density and only 12.5% more pixels total

(3840*2160/(2*2560*1440))

The 42" screen is like portrait mode on demand. Whenever I tried portrait mode on the 27" screens, it was nice sometimes but usually felt limited in width. With the 42" a quick tile of a window to either side (Super+Left/Right) gives you the height of portrait mode, plus more width (and adjustable to your liking).

Also for those now spare 27" monitors kicking around, I grabbed a vertical monitor mount to stack them (both landscape, stacked vertically) next to the 42". This has proven to be even better and I love having the zones this creates.
The astonishing amount of gas being flared off from US shale production can be seen from space. Nobody is actually reducing emissions as far as I can tell, we are running the experiment of far more that 2°C increases in temperature. What should we expect to happen at say 3.5°C?
It’s hard to enforce api contracts between components of a monolith.

And when performance tanks, it’s hard to pin the root cause to a component.

Both of these could probably be fixed by tooling. Could be z as fun research project or maybe a company.
I don't think this analysis is complete without considering the influence of oil prices. The shale revolution coincided with extremely high oil prices and the western world is undergoing something of an energy crisis as a historically cheap source of energy runs dry. Real oil prices before and after around 2000 have been completely different worlds.

Note [0] that regardless of the environmentalists, we're going to stop using oil fairly soon because peak production is basically upon us unless something more unexpected than shale happens.

Every choice we make has compromises, but I think coal pollution is magnitudes worse than soil erosion.

One affects the entire environment with air pollution, and the other affects a localized area by modifying terrain.

Since the usual arguments pro RE are being made: One of the main downsides of RE is

a) its need of fossil backup and b) profits of solar / wind goes into the pockets of its owners while
c) the costs of fossil backup and increased network capacities are to be borne by the general public so that
d) wealth is distributed from the bottom to the top whose
e) RE systems a being subsidized by the public too.

In conclusio, the bottom half pays for the profit of top earners who can afford to invest in RE. That’s the green „revolution“ for ya.
I am a network engineer and have worked with Cisco stuff since the 90s.

You underestimate Cisco's ability to fuck up acquired companies. The entire point is for Cisco to fuck it up by raising prices and entrapping customers to the point where competitors and alternatives will be created where none existed before. It's Cisco's nature and there is more than two decades of history of them doing it.
CO2 and methane ("emissions") is one target. A very important one, but let's not forget the other concerns altogether - plastic pollution, contamination of the environment through mineral extraction, etc.

The only path forward is a drastic reduction in overall consumption. Even if we reach 100% emissions-free electricity, we'll end up with an unlivable planet anyway if we don't focus on the other issues too. If we limit warming to 1,5°C — which isn't even realistic anymore — what good will it do to us if our water and arable land are contaminated beyond repair?
Eh, ransomware payments would tolerate these fees
Would that completely break down if your cursor is moved by something other than the mouse? (An automation script, a game that locks the cursor to the middle of the screen, etc.)
Will be interesting when we start hitting the storage binding constraint.
I do think the optimal screen is more or less a triangle or a semi-circle. A rotated rectangular screen is a very crude approximation.
Decentralized exchanges do not typically run on an order book model. Instead liquidity providers allocate capital in specific price ranges that follow a determininistic price curve ratio and a simple formula is used to rebalance as traders swap between token pairs.

> Scene respect is the sort of in-kind pseudocurrency that, while not without its own flaws, ime incentivizes better art.

Interesting. Let me disagree though. As an intangible, unquantifiable pseudocurrency - we’re getting into the realm where currency-as-analogy sounds both pointed and on-topic, but is a somewhat strained analogy - ‘scene respect’ is as corrosive, perverting and uh… pervertible as any other incentive. It breeds quasi-religions, staffed by gurus and followers, blighted by orthodoxies and schisms. All of which the pre- and post-bust cryptoverse has. All of which seem to matter very little when real money arrives, which it may well again.
If by "entire open source projects" you mean all projects in the world then the answer is definitively "no." Not all bounties are public and even the public ones aren't recorded in any standardized way in any one ledger.

It sometimes happens that bug-hunters discreetly approach FOSS projects with security-relevant fixes and then ask for a bounty for having found them, and there's no record of such events beyond private emails.

> We actually need constant energy supply at all hours of the day and night if we want to have a modern industrialized economy with factories and refineries operating around the clock.

We always need electricity available, but the demand is not constant and there are quite a few discretionary loads which can be run preferentially in the day time. We can expand our electrical capacity with clean solar energy in the day time, reducing the total need for existing polluting sources. Even if industrial factories run off of natural gas at night, a large installed base of solar will allow discretionary loads (home appliances, EV charging, etc) to run off of zero emissions solar when available. And even the industrial plants can utilize solar during the daytime, cutting their CO2 emissions related to energy use in half.
Because they used to have Apache in base from 1998 to 2014 (the 5.6 release) and found it frustrating to maintain? Given the developers and what they do with the operating system, I can understand why they would consider having an HTTP server in base something within the scope of the project.

It is an open source project with both commits and discussion happening in the open (tech@ in particular), so the barrier to understanding is reasonably acceptable. At some point it was also debated to move to nginx, but in the end httpd(8) was championed as a natural offshoot from relayd(8) which was already in base.
They're not bad, they're cheap and profitable.

I hate them, but you're reinforcing my point.
