Hey, I'm a throwaway too. It's just I'm too lazy to save an hn password in a password manager. Cyberdisinhibitionism is real and noxious. I guess it's the price we pay for open forums, but I do wonder what the internet would be like without pseudonyms requiring verified, real, public identification with photograph,(without the threat of government retaliation or censorship). Would "pretty" people, celebrities, the rich, and men dominate discussions?
Streamers favored quantity over quality. It turns out that viewers lose interest after a while.
Donbas - the part of Ukraine that is presently occupied by Russia - is called that because it's an abbreviation of "DONetsk coal BASin", one of the largest in the world.

Coincidentally, there has been a downturn in coal production there in the past two decades (and the associated closure of mines and processing infrastructure and unemployment) because of reduced demand. But if China were suddenly in dire need of coal, it wouldn't be hard for Russia to scale things up again there.

I used "native" as opposed to "web" (think "native code"), not as in "uses Cocoa on macOS". I should've been more precise.
I tried to get it to show me how to implement a feature I wanted in GCC once. It seemed like the code would get worse with every iteration. It did provide a very useful high level overview of the codebase and abstractions involved though. I don't think I'd ever have even gotten started without that help.

I think you're overthinking it. For simplicity, instead of [human-readable]@mydomain.com, let's use [guid]@mydomain.com, a dynamic set of unguessable aliases for your account. Your guids that have been handed out are completely under your control and stored on your server.

There are no cryptographic keys to manage here, just cryptographically secure identifiers that are stored on a server.

If you and I had been introduced, you would have a guid@naasking-domain.com designating me in your address book, and I would have a guid@felsokning-domain.com for your address in my address book.

So revoking the guid you have for me is an operation that happens on my server and simply invalidates the only address that you have. This part is simple and why spam is easily stopped in its tracks.

The introduction protocol is the tricky part, because C and B would have different guids for A, so if B CC's A when messaging C, then there should be a way for C to resolve their guid for A. This is done via a petname system.

If C does not already have a mapping for A (and so doesn't know A), then it can request an introduction from B. C sends B an "introduce-me as C[guid-intro]" message with a new guid for C, then B then sends to A "here's who I call C [guid-intro]". Guid-intro is a use-once guid for introduction purposes.

A then sends to C[guid-intro], "hi, I'm A[new-guid]". C replies, "hi, I'm C[new-guid]". C then revokes guid-intro since it was used, and we're done. A, B and C each have their own guid addresses for each other. You can keep the audit trail of where you got a guid introduction in a database, but that's not strictly necessary for this to work.

This introduction protocol happens transparently to the user just by exchanging specific message types the server recognizes. It's a protocol that can be built atop SMTP just to manage the database of addresses that the SMTP server accepts.
At the current level on the way towards "caring about humanity", I really don't think it's a complicated philosophical question. Once a big company actively chooses to forego some profits based on any altruistic consideration, we can start debating what it means "concretely".

China makes a lot of electronics on which our infrastructure and logistics run. Much good a gun or a bomb will do you if you suddenly cannot get them from point A where they are made/stored to point B where they need to be used on time.

He also hasn't lost any cases yet. Other than Melinda Scott, all the other lawsuits against him are ongoing.
Good point. Since all our planets surround the sun more or less in the same plane, the dyson sphere could cover the remaining 95% of the sphere without affecting the planets too much. Remains the issue that you'd probably need the material of those planets to build the dyson sphere.
@ntnbr, the state capitol is also a very good spot for large capture the flag. We played there a few times in college. I remember it being more or less symmetric too.

Japan doesn't have carb-heavy ultraprocessed foods, social tolerance of obesity, or massive quantities.
More and more ultraprocessed foods. We never had such ready access to food filled with sugar/fat/salt and engineered to taste maximally good. Stuff like soda, potato chips and chocolate bars are barely 150 years old. Frozen foods are basically 70 years old.
It’s dangerous and misleading when reporters conflate controlled scientific studies with anecdotes that haven’t proven true when properly studied:

“I had learned there are massive health benefits to reversing obesity with these drugs: for example, Novo Nordisk ran a trial that found weekly injections reduced the risk of heart attack or stroke by 20% for participants with a BMI over 27 and a history of cardiac events. But I also saw there are significant risks. I interviewed prestigious French scientists who worry the drugs could cause an increase in thyroid cancer, and eating disorders experts who worry it will cause a rise in this problem. Other experts fear it may cause depression or suicidal thoughts. These claims are all fiercely disputed and debated. I felt trapped between two risky choices—ongoing obesity, or drugs with lots of unknowns.”

The suicidal thoughts have been studied: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna147578

The concentrated energy of Dyson Sphere can be very useful. Feed some of it into lasers and then launch starships and then slow them down when they get to destination. Not tiny probes with fusion reactors but full size starships.

Feed most of the energy of star to lasers and end up with weapon that will melt planets across the galaxy.

Honestly, don't need to expand across the galaxy if have Dyson Sphere, which could be explanation of Fermi Paradox.
Yes, they are. Not all forms of incorporation are like publicly traded joint-stock corporation.
That's the thing I am struggling with. I agree things will exponentially improve with AI. What i am not seeing is who will actually capture the value. Or rather how will those other than rich and powerful get to partake in this value capture. Take viable commercial fusion for example. Best case it ends up looking like another PG&E. Worst case it is owned by yet another Musk like gatekeeper. How do you see this being truly democratized and accessible for the masses?
There's a long chain of influences across the border in winged spacecraft development. Dyna-Soar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_X-20_Dyna-Soar) project in USA pushed works on Spiral' project in USSR, and BORs are a part of that. It arguably provides a link from HL-10 via USSR projects to HL-20, among other things.
I wonder if the material of all the stuff in our sun's orbit would be sufficient to build a dyson sphere. Afaik, 99% of the mass of our solar system is the sun itself...
Having different tiers for the subscription service works well. That way high usage users aren't sucking up all the resources without paying for them.
At one time many of us dreamed of having a computer that could run as fast as 60MHz. The first computers I used ran around 1MHz. Compilation will take longer on a slower machine, but that really isn't a big deal. If the computer is reliable and the build scripts are correct, you can just let the process run over days or weeks. I've run many tasks in my life that took days or weeks. Cue "compiling": https://xkcd.com/303/

The real problem is debugging. Debugging the process on a slow system can be unpleasant due to long turn-arounds. Historically the solution is to work in stages & be able to restart at different points (so you don't have to do the whole process each time). That would work here too. In this case, there's an additional option: you can debug the scripts on a much faster though less trustworthy system. Then, once it works, you can run it on the slower system.
Are you being sarcastic? I can't tell.
Ukraine will no longer be democratic come May 21st, unfortunately.

He leaves out examples that contradict his thesis, like the 1977 New York blackout which lead to widespread arson and looting. (1) Plus similar widespread rioting in Montreal in the 60s when the police went on strike. (2) Wiki also suggested a page for 'list of incidents of civil unrest in the US', which appear to number in the hundreds. (3) My guess would be that whether your city 'panics' or not just depends on a bunch of different circumstances, and that there's no one conveniently pat answer.

I used to follow Tanner on Twitter and he seems like a nice guy, but he's definitely part of this new generation of self-appointed 'intellectuals' that got famous on social media, have no actual subject-matter expertise in any 1 field, and just handwave stuff. He is the director of what's apparently a 1 man think thank, and he supposedly 'focuses on contemporary security issues in the Asia-Pacific and the military history of East and Southeast Asia' despite having no graduate degrees or military/intelligence record that I'm aware of. (Also has nothing to do with this piece). Again, nice guy who I'm sure means well, but basically a self-appointed Twitter 'expert'.

> if a person believes that yes, it's likely that humans are having some effect on climate, but that we aren't sure exactly what it is and how harmful it will be over a period of time - are they a "denier"?

Yes 100% they are a denier. This was a position that was valid in the 80s. It's also exactly the bs talking point spread by those who profit from us not moving away from fossil fuels. Confuse and delay as much as possible and discredit those pesky scientists with their models that can't decide if it'll be terrible or catastrophic.

> Even in the densest places there are still tons of single family homes.

That is generally the case when the zoning code forbids the construction of anything else; otherwise, density would increase progressively, largely via conversion/addition, and you would never see neighborhoods of single-family homes abutting commercial/multifamily neighborhoods, with a sharp line dividing them, as frequently occurs in modern American development. Anytime you see such a dramatic transition, you are looking at an artificial boundary created by zoning, and that means the properties just over the line on the single-family side will be simultaneously overcosted (because they are close to an area of high demand) and undervalued (because they cannot be developed to meet the demand).
Delightful seeing someone so broadly colossal conservative, picking so many fights at once with folks doing things other than the classics. Yeah man, retrocompute your way to the future, the ancients had it right, this is all just nonsense.

Except... Ah...

> You wanna know what else didn't ship with async? The thing all your bullshit async websocket servers run on: Linux. Last time I checked, Linux, and the POSIX world in whole, seems to be doing just fine running the entire internet without it. signal, timerfd, epoll, kqueue exist. Guess what? That's all tokio and these runtimes are doing. They can't magically put something to sleep. The kernel is the one who's not bringing your CPU to a halt when your read isn't doing anything, not tokio

You seem to not have heard of io-uring. Yeah, Linux wasn't async. But it has become very very very good at async since 5.11 or 5.15 time frame, 2020/2021.

You can do just fine without it. But wow, you have to get a lot right & what's right is going to keep changing all the time depending on very specific vagueries of the individual workload. signal, timerfd, epoll, kqueue all have many enormously popular event loop libraries that wrap them, that need all kinds of tuning & strategies to make good use of.

Io-uring let's us throw way more over the wall to the kernel for it to have to handle. It involves less switches between kernel and user space.

Imo the definitive challenge in getting to next level systems is figuring out how to write languages where users can make good use of all the many io uring affordances, naturally. Tokio-uring is a decent start at letting tokio-uring async work, but if anything it's too conservative, isn't able to express & enable enough of the patterns users could be doing in io-uring. It predefines some narrow paths of use. Which is great, it's a fine async, but there's so much more we ought be mining, and it's a huge opportunity for any language to come out ahead & advance things if it can use Linux 's newfound async.

I'm not from the US and I'm wary of both. The US is geopolitically aligned much closer to the EU, which is why I'm much more cautious about potential involvement of the Chinese government compared to the US.
Here's hoping you're right. I've had some excellent teachers throughout the years, the real rare-odd Bill Nye types with a passion for practical science and tactile learning. Even though I loved their class, the subject matter and most of the content, I was a tired kid. I'd get yelled at for reading books and dozing off because public school is exhausting, and no matter how you cut it it's still 6-7 hours of mandatory education.

I'd like to think that mixing enough sugar with the medicine helps it go down for everyone. But I also think it's difficult to make a one-size-fits-all lesson plan for more than 1 person; everyone learns differently, and I don't blame teachers for struggling to discover a teaching methodology that works for everyone. It's a tough problem.

I'm Russian, and I've heard plenty rhetoric about "Romanian Nazis" when talking about Transnistria.

More so since 2022, because Moldova is clearly one of the prime next targets after Ukraine.
That headline sounds big, but "entire fleet" in this case is only 12 planes. And those 12 are about half of Swiss' wide-body fleet.

That makes it a tiny airline in comparison to others. For example Lufthansa group (which Swiss is a part of) has 98 wide-body aircraft. Competing Air France group has 165. The US is similar, Delta has 164. The Middle East is on another scale, Emirates has 249...

Still a nice innovation, but as a headline "Lufthansa group tests shark skin on 12 Boeing 777s" would be more realistic.

It really shines a light on the excess of American culture.

Japan does have a “drink to excess” culture too, but it largely seems to be more with intent. (Also, in my travels I have found harder alcohols, 35%+, and shots culture are mostly a US characteristic.)

If I’d eat out with only my Japanese friends and we’d get a tabehoudai/nomihoudai we would only consume until sated, usually only ordering about the same amount as a normal menu item, but take advantage of the “all you can” to try new foods and drinks we were unsure if we’d like.

With my fellow American friends we would certainly abuse the privilege by drinking and eating beyond excess without necessarily even setting out to do so.
It’s likely the built-in display is also fractionally scaling. IIRC it has been that way by default for several generations of MBP now.

Do you think your teacher saw potential in you and was trying to get more from you?
My biggest frustration with the public school near me is that they don’t care whether a student thrives, only that they don’t fail.
Attempting to instill a work ethic as a teacher is admirable, but clearly didn’t work in your case. I could see how facing resistant students could grind the optimism and energy out of a teacher.
That's so true. They have built a reputation for killing stuff.

REM atonia, which is the paralysis that sleep paralysis comes from/uses, paralyzes the majority of your body. However, one organ it doesn’t paralyze is your eyes, hence people experiencing it generally open their eyes as they try to escape it.
