Also perhaps why the evolved pattern of death is important: a subnetwork is selected in a brain, which is suited to a specific geological, physical, biological and cognitive environment that the brain is navigating. But when the environment shifts beneath the organisim (as culture does and the living world in general does), then the subnetwork is no longer the correct one, and needs to be reinitialized.

Or in other words, even in an information theoretic sense, it's true: you can't teach a old dogs new tricks. You need a new dog.

Hey, Taelin here.

Anyway, after years of hard work, HVM2 is finally production ready, and we're delivering on a long promise: targeting GPUs! And Bend is a new, Python-like and Haskell-like language to interface with it.

Do you think it's realistically ever going to be possible to store months of energy in grid batteries? or is that beyond the scope of credible optimisations?

Serious question because articles like this [1] made me skeptical that renewable energy outputs could be transferred between seasons.

Well you could at least start with solving everything in 24 hours that can be solved in 24 hours. More often than not such bugs take days, weeks, months not because of time in IDE, but because of backlogs, prioritization, time in test and longer release cycles. Streamlining that sounds mostly a win to me.

Note that a bug fixed in 24hrs is also a bug that doesn't have to be fixed later. I mean the development work has to be done at some point anyway, and this may even save some time discussing and bouncing around the issue.

The article completely overlooked one of the greatest benefits of a copy-on-write file system, which is snapshots. APFS is able to create snapshots of entire volumes near instantaneously, and is used by Time Machine for performing backups.
And I think this is because the ideal complex system is one where all the subsystems and parts combine to produce adequate reliability.

Exponentiation means it is more efficient to start by far exceeding the required reliability and then optimizing the most expensive subsystems/parts. It is less efficient and far more frustrating if multiple things have to be improved to meet requirements.
Nation state level threats are kind of a final boss irl and in the cybersecurity realm, so I’m not sure what you want me to say. That’s a problem for Citizen Lab, Google Project Zero, and natsec but if someone individually is at risk of this happening, they need a lawyer and an insurance policy, and possibly private security, but tbh they have bigger problems like being on a naughty list. I honestly don’t think this something you can expect to move the needle on for the >99% of people who don’t have this problem.

What do you think a defense against this would even look like? To attempt to do so sounds almost absurd because it’s just such a remote possibility.

In the Getting Started section, why have the user write the code before installing the dependency? Any kind of Python tooling is going to complain that the import doesn't exist when the user goes to write the example. Obviously it doesn't really matter but there's also no reason to not install the dependency first, and it will provide a better dev experience.
Billboards are an ugly smear on the face of the urban environment, whose sole purpose is to enrich the owners of the billboard, and those that rent them.

The difference between billboards and graffiti is that one is “OK” and the other is not. But in neither case do we get a real choice.

I don’t think billboards have much political legitimacy at all, but there is lots of money behind them, so they’re probably here to stay.

I can confirm that the protests were already hot before 1986. Chernobyl was just the final nail in the coffin. But this is often forgotten.

Another thing that is often forgotten and at least partially contributed to the outcome of Kalkar never going online, is a substantial change in the political climate regarding the question of nuclear proliferation.

It might seem strange now, but 40 years after WW II Germany was probably closer to getting its own nuclear inventory than today. While it was far from uncontroversial at the time it was not a heretic idea either and widely discussed.

A fast breeder like Kalkar would have been an important step in that direction, as would have been the heavy-water reactor in Niederaichbach, which only ran for about a year.

To complete the nuclear fuel cycle and to produce the plutonium for Kalkar a reprocessing plant would have been necessary which again had enabled Germany to produce weapons-grade nuclear material. The planned and partially completed facilities in Wackersdorf were abandoned in the 80s too.

Show HN: Invoice Master – A Simple Tool for Managing Freelance Invoices
Hi HN,

I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on: [Invoice Master](https://www.invoicemaster.org).

As a freelancer, I found managing invoices to be a tedious and time-consuming task. I built Invoice Master to simplify this process and help freelancers and small businesses manage their invoicing more efficiently.

Key Features:

* Easy-to-use interface
* Automated recurring invoice generation
* Customer & Product management
* File attachment to invoices

I’d love to hear your feedback on the site, especially any suggestions for features you think would be useful. My goal is to make invoicing as painless as possible, so your input is invaluable.

Thank you!

Thanks for that article! One line jumped out at me:

"When I learned about async programming, I realized that for my CLI-based project, I didn’t really need async. So, I removed all async code and the Tokio runtime, which significantly simplified the code."

This implies that you used async before learning it. Does async come along for the ride with "standard" constructs in Rust, such that you have to make an active effort to avoid it?

Forgive my ignorance about Rust if this is a dumb question.

If that was true then we would still be living like in the 18th century. They would have pumped out all the easily accessible oil. It's not possible to access current oil fields with 19th century tech.

So yeah - if this civilization falls - the next one won't be able to have their own industrial revolution.

If railways were in place, people would have built around the railway destinations, just like cities throughout history were typically built on waterways for easy transport of goods.

The flexibility of the car encourages sprawl which gets you into a situation exactly like what you're describing, where it just seems obvious that trains aren't good enough. The same sort of sprawl just wouldn't exist in a train-dominated transport system.

I was thinking about societies in general. Bank robberies are absolutely worse.

They can involve multiple lives being at much greater risk and a large amount of resources allocated to criminals. The fact that it doesn't come from the bank but an insurance agency doesn't change anything. The money comes from somewhere.

The context was the graffiti subculture around the German rail system, although I didn't specify, that's what I was referring to. Of course graffiti on private residences is practically just vandalism. There aren't subcultures around that though, besides subcultures that just revolve around general vandalism.

In that vein, you should probably get graffiti insurance if that's a concern.
Ah, yes, labeling taking war reparations as stealing is just 'semantics' and any other option is 'whataboutism'. Also casually ignoring what Drittes Reich did to the Soviet People, because that's also semantics, I guess. Yes, they are thankful to Uncle Sam what the Soviet Union didn't do to them what they did it the Soviet Union people (it didn't do that anyway or else East Germany would be a desert).

And the most amusing thing is what in the first comment I explicitly marked the difference on how it's described depending on the side.

> Anyway, I think what you're feeling is more real than you've allowed for. This is concretely a better foundation, that's not an illusion. It's not perfect but the sense that this is how things should be makes sense compared to other popular languages.

I know that things like ownership are universal concepts. They are relevant to all languages, even those that don't have a borrow checker. People who do not think of ownership generally do not write good code. They may not be aware of the concept or what it's called, but their thought process contains some implementation of it, even if indirect or limited.

In C, you very often need to know who is responsible for freeing a value, or when it is safe for the one responsible to free it. Someone may think of it in different terms, but the end result is the same. Even in something like Java you still might need to know who is responsible for managing a value.

Because Rust includes these things, teaches us to think about these things, and is generally designed with these things in mind, it is absolutely a better foundation than something like C or C++. A lot of C/C++ software, I'd say most of it, sorely deserves to be rewritten in idiomatic Rust.

But, you know, it's the "right tool for the job" thing. Sometimes Rust isn't the best for a particular application. Just because it's better at what it does, doesn't mean it's also better at what it doesn't do, if that makes any sense.
That argument could similarly be made for the countless "trends" that have harmed TikTok users and those around them, or really any other social media platform.

I dont see how Facebook is unique in this regard.
Maybe it just boils down to the right to property and having your own stuff just the (legal) way you want it.

It's all great until your stuff gets destroyed because someone thinks it's better a different way. And when the graffiti is truly spectacular you can find some consolation in the result, maybe truly appreciate it. But that's not the case 99.99% of the time. Most graffiti is just trash, some rando spraying their name somewhere. Takes 10 seconds and 0 talent. It causes extra expense for people or the city to clean up, or it stays there as an eye sore for everyone.

All going according to plan.
C type declarations (and array decays, for that matter) seem to be baggage from B.

In B the only type is the machine word, which can perform arithmetic and be dereferenced. Arrays the only special kind of declaration and are declared like

auto foo[10]

Where auto is a storage class specifier like extern or static.

In that world, having declaration follow usage makes perfect sense. There's no "other" kinds of data to worry about, the operators you can apply to an expression describes its type exactly.

> Inspired by the existing Albatross Books, Lane’s nascent company wanted an animal for their mascot. Many years after the fact, designer Edward Young explained (as quoted by Hornsey) that after a couple hours of fruitless brainstorming, “we were in despair. Then suddenly the secretary’s voice piped up from behind the partition (her name, it should be recorded for posterity, was Joan Coles). She said, ‘What about Penguins?’”

(Unless you mean why Ms. Coles thought of it, but that probably is beyond reasonable hope of answer.)

Ahh, the better example, two houses and one of the houses is being used as an Airbnb...it can definitely be a real problem in that case too. The best example to me is Palm Springs where they put in place some very strict rules, the latest being a maximum for short-term rentals (20% I think). Its the way to solve it in my opinion.

Don't make up definitions. I don't like the Airbnb model but there are definitely properties that one could classify as successful businesses all through an Airbnb / vrbo model. You might be confusing what Airbnb used to be in the early 2010s. That ship sailed a long time ago.
I believe that you are supposed to use identity providers that aren't involved in the actual transmission of the message.

For example suppose I want to send you an encrypted message. Your email address is in your HN profile. I ask an identity provider for a public key for that email address, encrypt my message using that key, and send it to that email address.

Identity provider shenanigans might result in me encrypting that message with a public key whose private key might be known by the identity provider or other third parties, but unless they can intercept my mail in transit or gain access to it in your mailbox they can't make much use of that.
That is what kids are for.

>Bug resolution time depends on how familiar a developer is with the system, how complex the issue is and how impactful the bug is

Some huge factors are:

- how fast you can test things (e.g. change and re-run test)

- how good runtime (e.g. debugger) and logging visibility you have

- how good (representative) are the test data

In other words, fast ways to "look into" the matter. Usually if you can iterate fast and get a reproduction, you can also solve it fast.

It's much less common that the issue is a big architectural concern that needs total rethinking/refactoring.
