It does not tell me if I should count hours in hour-of-the-day, or lapsed time. Also the example tries to demonstrate a case of "you don´t have to pay extra", but then falls silent. Nice, not the info I am looking for.

> I'd hazard the actual problem in this picture is Ghana's GDP/capita being in 4 digit territory and not the badly disposed of waste dump.

But if Ghana became a wealthy country and chose not to accept this waste, it will end up in the next one.

The waste exists regardless, and the economic incentive for the original market "export" it, that is, hide the problem, and the receiving country to reluctantly accept it for some other consideration, whether it be money or state aid or tariff-free export of something else, will always exist while the waste does.

Re: "badly disposed of waste dump", the difference between this and landfill anywhere in the west is largely just the soil on top. Staggering amounts of recyclable and dangerous stuff still gets thrown away in inappropriate ways right near where you live, I imagine. And if the global North exports waste to the global South, sooner or later the scale almost inevitably overwhelms the receiver.

I think meaningless abstractions are fine to a point, but when you have a less trivial example, it can make it harder to keep track of the relationship of different things. For example, you might see something like

trait Foo {
fn frobulate()
}

struct Bar;
struct Baz;

impl Foo for Bar {
fn frobulate() {
// TODO
}
}

fn qux<T: Foo>(...)

It's ends up being too abstract. A more concrete example would help clarify the relationship of the different elements.

> "When we've rewritten systems from Go into Rust, we've found that it takes about the same sized team about the same amount time to build it."

A rewrite should be much faster than the original. Much of the original development will have had changes in requirements, refactors because of better understanding the problem domain, best structure for the code etc. A lot of that can be just 'copied' into the new system. The developers know exactly what to do.

To complete this experiment they should have also re-written it in C# or java and then compare with rust.
Show HN: A website for comparing protein powder prices
diskprices.com, but for Protein Powder!

Buying protein powder is a mess, and comparing different products is frustrating, since all brands choose their own serving sizes. By collecting nutrition facts, and normalizing the serving to contain 25 grams of protein, we can properly compare price/nutrients per serving.

Inspired by diskprices.com, the idea is to provide an equally functional interface to compare products. The prices are collected once a day, currently from iHerb US. Aiming to improve the coverage soon.

Any tips / suggestions / other feedback more than welcome :)

It would be interesting to compare the Python sortedcontainers algorithm - I've been using a C++ version of it that works quite well.

Might be a stupid question, but why did Hetzner take off? I feel like I’d barely heard of them before last year, but now they’re the go-to hosting suggestion from many.

> Not all roundabouts are symmetric and not all have four entry-exit pairs.

I didn't say or imply this. The rule works for non-symmetrical roundabouts without issue. To phrase it differently:

If your exit is to the right of a hypothetical line extending across the roundabout in your direction of travel upon entry into the roundabout, go in the right lane. Otherwise, left lane.

> In scenarios like this you will inevitably have to switch lanes in some scenarios.

No roundabout I've ever driven through in the UK has required lane switching, unless I was in the wrong lane to begin with.

I should mention Tigris[0] here. They're also a new Object Storage service, but they have this two-way replication facility with another S3-compatible service. The primary purpose they built it for is to mirror files from your existing S3 to Tigris as files are requested.

However they also have an option to copy files that are added to Tigris, to S3 automatically [1] (`--shadow-write-through`). I asked their founder if it's okay to use it as an extra redundancy continuously instead of a one-time migration, and they said they have no issues with it.

I like this. Upshot - electrostatic bit flip on memory read or write, which with solder can deterministically get a 'safe' pointer mutated into your own evil pointer.

Generally the historical perspective on physical access was: "once they have it, game over." TPM and trusted execution environments have shifted this security perspective to "we can trust certain operations inside the enclave even if the user has physical access."

His next steps are most interesting to me -- can you get something (semi-) reliable without soldering stuff? My guess is it's going to be a lot harder. Lots of thought already goes into dealing with electrical interference. On the other hand, maybe? if you flip one random bit of a 64 bit read every time you click your lighter, and your exploit can work with one of say 4 bit flips, then you don't need that many tries on average. At any rate, round 2 of experimentation should be interesting.

This is one reason I believe "right to repair" laws are so important. The environmental damage of producing the device is already done. Make it last as long as possible. Reduce, reuse... then recycle.

Re-using devices helps us also reduce the number of new devices needed... which is what probably scares the corporate oligarchy. If we're not buying new phones every couple of years how will the stock prices keep going up?

Never the less, the devices we make these days can last a long, long time. I've been repairing and maintaining iPhone 5's, 7's, and 8's that are no where near their end of life. The iPhone has a couple of small electrolytic capacitors which should have a useful life of at least 20 years. And can be replaced! The batteries and screens can replaced. These devices can last much longer than we give them credit for.

But tech companies have been struggling to make it illegal or difficult to repair for a long time. I've been seeing photojournalist projects such as this since the late 90s at least (longer perhaps). In North America we had a culture that valued repairing and building things that lasted. It's as good a time as any to push for this to return! Support policy makers that are pushing for right-to-repair and environmental protection!

How the US Lost the Solar Power Race to China
I toured a data center in Tornado alley back when leasing cages was pretty common. I asked them about disaster planning regarding getting completely wiped off the map and they sorta scoffed at me. Literally two weeks later a tornado missed them by about a 1/4 mile. Would have loved to be a fly on the wall after that.

another story, a small company I worked for contracted with a small data center. They did things right and ran a tight ship. However something happened like a lightning strike or so other electrical fault and a critical component welded itself into a position they could t get out of. I wish I could remember the details better but they were down multiple days.

This reminds me of exploits we used to do to arcade cabinets back in Sydney in the 80's and 90s. The school gas heaters used to have what we called "clickers", piezoelectric ignition devices you could remove from the heaters.

You then took that clicker to your local arcade, and clicked one of the corners of the CRT, that would send a shock through the system and add credits to your game. I believe this was because the CRT was grounded on the same ground lines that the mechanism for physically checking a coin had gone through the system.

Suffice to say, they caught onto this over time, and added some form of an alarm into it. But up until then... Those were truly the best times.

My personal hypothesis on this is that the worst 5% of Americans is likely both dumber and more sociopathic than Europeans, and the behavior of the worst drivers is what creates a lot of traffic and road accidents. If that is the case, you will not have the same kind of design that works in a high-trust, more cohesive society.

It's very cheap. They've been around for years. I've been using them for my personal server for the past 2-3 years without problems. The only problems I have seen from them are the control plane API going down (so, like, creating new servers isn't available).
They have been around for a long time. I heard people praising them already in startup events 10+ year ago (I'm not that active in the scene myself any more). They are known for great price/quality ratio for the dedicated servers. There are some gotchas, as you might get random crappy hardware or whatever. The firms I have been working for and which decided to go build their infra mostly with hetzner, I would estimate that they have saved millions in comparison to common cloud services. The staff often complains because managing your own dedicated servers is a bit more work than going with something like AWS, but if you put in the numbers, the amount of money saved in the end can be insane.

It will take quite a long time to charge an EV on solar power (or off a portable generator). The power density is just very inefficient compared to the huge mass of the batteries.
I've read that most phones have a built-in FM tuner, but it's disabled for the US market because telcos wanted you to buy music from their store.

It was true at one point - I owned at least one phone with a disabled FM radio.

I have two young children and I'm building up a library for them

A slight tangent, but as a parent, one thing I've found is that any books my kid discovers for themselves (via friends, social media or just picking up random books in the library) means so much more to them than anything I've ever recommended. Anything I recommend starts out with a massive handicap, since in their minds anything 'old and lame' people like probably sucks. Only if there is nothing else to read will they begrudgingly try one of my books.

And to be fair after about age 11, I rarely read anything my dad recommended to me either, much preferring to discover my own books. So by all means make sure they're surrounded by books, just don't expect your kids to read anything you try to push on them.
