Money that is loaned out is still accounted for as liabilities.

Sure, those liabilities are accounted for in an eventually consistent matter by reconciling imbalances on interbank lending markets at the end of the day with the government topping up any systemic shortfall rather than by counting out deposit coins in the vault

But that's fundamentally much closer to the "Old Money" view than to the OP's claim about fractional reserve being like an FBO inflating customer deposits by failing to track trades properly. All the credit extended by the bank is accounted for, and all of it that isn't backed by reserves is backed by the bank's obligations to someone else.
I’ll ask again because you’re just not getting it:

- What is the version number of GitHub.com?

- Do you think the deployment version is an appropriate format to convey compatibility in a system of that size and complexity?

- Do you think it is deployed via a package manager like NPM or Bundle?

Once you’re able to read and answer these in an honest fashion, you’ll reach enlightenment.

Until then, keep wondering I guess.
OK Mr McCarthy, where is this documented?

Theoretically they even have a better security environment (since it is internal and they control users, code base and network) so the consensus mechanism may not even require BFT.
This is hilarious to me:

Android, which uses it for some large component of the system that I've never quite understood

Ninja is really a huge part of AOSP, the build system initially used makefiles. Things got complex really fast with a custom declarative build system (soong) and a failed/aborted migration to bazel. Google developed kati (https://github.com/google/kati) which converts Makefiles to ninja build files (or should I say file), which really is huge:

λ wc -l out/build-qssi.ninja
3035442 out/build-qssi.ninja

Going from makefiles/soong to ninja is painful, it takes several minutes even in a modern machine but it simply flies once ninja picks it up.
Just going to drill into a couple of aspects of your rant.

First, fascism is a totalitarian ideology. You could have googled it yourself instead of parroting what The View tells you. It demands 100% subordination of individual interests in service of the state. Here's a quote from Mussolini: "The Fascist conception of the State is all-embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist" [0] From his support of Trump and DOGE, we can conclude that he's the opposite of a fascist and wants to reduce the state. He's much more Millei than Mussolini. This is so elementary I'm a little confused as to why I have to spell it out.

Here's some more homework for you: [1]. Words like Nazi and Fascist and Communist have meanings. If we want to have a civilized society, we must first respect the meanings of words so that we can have a conversation.

Second: name a Nazi that Musk likes. Before you say Trump, here's Trump's Fine People speech. Watch the whole thing, then tell me he's a Nazi. Then also keep in mind the massive "Trump calls Nazis Fine People" hoax the media has been banging on about ever since: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGKbFA7HW-U

Here's one of him disavowing the KKK many times over a long period: https://x.com/TimRunsHisMouth/status/897112536574828544

Third, Musk is known for making wild promises, many of which are as yet undone. Nobody would care who he is if that was all there is to him. But some of his wild promises are real and part of everyday life.

Fourth, if you think he wins due to extreme funding, go read the stories of Zip2, Paypal, Tesla, SpaceX. All of the above teetered on the brink of nonexistence due to being bootstrapped by Musk who was then strapped for cash.

A vast, vast array of features. Multiple new renderers, material systems (lumping node systems into this), 2D animation systems (mostly via grease pencil AIUI), video compositing features, sculpting (I think is new since then?)

I mean, even if you aren't using it now, it's probably worth looking at e.g. the latest release notes https://www.blender.org/download/releases/4-3/ just to see the array of things improving and adding onto stuff that mostly didn't exist 12 years ago.

On the topic, the oldest original running computer[1] can be found in the UK in the National Museum of Computing based in Bletchley Park (where Alan Turing and many others worked breaking German cryptography). The museum requires a separate ticket from the "main" Bletchley Park museum. It's around 1h trip from London Euston. Well worth a visit! Among other items, they have a working "Bombe" replica

To provide another perspective, I read this book and it was unfortunately just not my thing. The whole plot seemed very clear from the beginning and I found myself eager to get to where the climax occurred. The journey there wasn’t all that compelling, partly for that reason.

I do agree with your sentiment about number of characters though, that really helped. I find that my working memory for characters isn’t what it used to be.
Highly recommend any work that has a non-trivial creation/publishing threshold, regardless of medium or domain.

Imagine you'd set up your own server at home.

You'd buy a computer, plug an install USB drive in, and install ubuntu.

Then you'd connect to it via SSH, configure it, maybe install docker and set up your docker containers, etc.

A dedicated server is very similar.

The server is sitting in a datacenter at hetzner, and you usually install an OS with a button in the management UI, sure.

But everything afterwards is the same. You just connect via SSH, install docker or k8s and your services, maybe an nginx, etc.

You also have an option to request KVM access. That allows you to control the server as if you had connected a keyboard and monitor to it. You can even enter the BIOS to diagnose issues, if you'd like.

Personally I've got an install script that automates everything and sets up kubernetes and automated encrypted backups. Then I just deploy everything else with k8s.

How will Retraction Watch prevent abuse of this? If a "cloned" or "hijacked" journal (reminiscent of Jan Chipchase's "superfakes") is good enough to fool even the smartest among us, inevitably Retraction Watch will put real journals on the "hijacked" list. Not to give the hijackers or cloners ideas, but they could submit the real journals to deliberately muddy the epistemological waters, too. How does a "real" journal prove bona fides in the face of self elected bureaucratic inertia and AI-assisted copying?
I adored my two visits to the Computer History Museum in Palo Alto, the guided tours and showcases were run by volunteer retired industry veterans. It was obvious that they loved doing it, and it was such a privilege to hear from the people icebreaking right at the beginning of all of this, back when it was all punchcards, tape and big-ol' mainframes. They were still playing around with the old tech, restoring it and doing cool new things with it, just for the joy of it.
I'm fairly confident that if there was any evidence what so ever of sabotage, we'd be hearing it now, loud and clear.

> So if i am building my own house i should also spend thousands of dollars more to make it accessible?

Well, you don't know what tomorrow you will need. I remember my grandmother needing to make the house accessible after my grandfather lost control of half his body after a stroke.

And those accessibility enhancements are not a problem even if they're not directly needed anymore: no steps between rooms, big sliding doors, lot of space for the shower etc. Even able people can appreciate those.

This doesn’t make any sense to me. If I have 2 CMYK images open I should be able to colour pick and copy/paste between them and do any other sorts of manipulations with them without any colour space conversions taking place.

The only colour space transformation that should happen when working with a CMYK image is when the image is displayed on screen. The CMYK data is interpreted with the attached colour profile (perhaps provided by the commercial printer I’m using) and then the colours are converted to RGB via my monitor’s profile and displayed on screen. None of these converted colours are ever saved in the file, and they need to be updated whenever any part of the image is altered (say using a dirty region -> repaint system).

Now if I do happen to open both a CMYK image and an RGB image and then try to copy and paste part of the RGB image into the CMYK one then a one-time conversion to CMYK needs to take place. Otherwise if I’m working only with CMYK images then no conversions should take place.

It sounds to me like the GIMP may have been written so that all of its operations are specialized to work with RGB pixels and so they cannot implement native editing on CMYK images without doing round trip conversions all over the place? If that’s the case then they need to buckle down and do the hard work of rewriting everything to be colour space independent.

I also want to note that Photoshop added CMYK support in version 2.0 which was released in 1991. This was before they even added layers! Photoshop was essentially designed for print almost from the very beginning. Having all the colour space stuff figured out before adding huge numbers of features was a major advantage. Trying to retrofit CMYK support into the GIMP seems like a bit of a nightmare.
There isn't any such causation between rich and poor countries. Most of Asia is dirt poor, even more so a couple of decades ago, yet crime is extremely scarce.

Even in America alone there are a vast number of people living in extreme poverty. And the overwhelming majority will live perfectly normal lives, even if it means on occasion living off iceberg and ramen, as was the case for myself when growing up.

If poverty/desperation drove crime then there would be vastly more criminals, especially in rural areas, yet criminality remains relatively rare.

You'll find far less tolerance for criminal behavior among those who grew up in poverty, because they are the ones who have lived through it all and seen with their own eyes the sort of people who go down the wrong road. And the fault for going down that road lies with nobody besides those people.

Before Dropbox, Drew Houston ventured into the world of startups with Accolade, an online SAT prep company.

"My first company was called Accolade, and it was doing online SAT prep because we realized that back in the day the SAT was changing and no one had really built a good online course."

He applied to Y Combinator with Accolade but faced rejection.

"We were rejected without an interview... Largely because we were both, my co-founder and I, were both part-time on it, a couple other reasons—market size, probably some other stuff."

This setback didn't deter him but instead fueled his determination to succeed.
if done properly, this allows the url to represent where you are in the app, and makes back/forward work - like in typical web pages, just without a reload.

It’s also reasonable for OVH to not do that, as most of their customers don’t understand 95th percentile billing, which is the model that they’re being charged at by their transit suppliers.

It’s also reasonable for OVH to not do that, as most of their customers dont understand that transit costs blend with port costs depending on destination, and some destinations are effectively ‘free’ to send/receive from (fixed port costs only, no marginal costs), and other destinations are not (marginal costs associated with transit supplier fees).

The billing model consumers want is a simple BW used calculation, without facing the reality that if they consume their entire BW allowance as quickly as possible, it incurs order of magnitude higher costs than if they consume it at a trickle over the whole month.
This doesn't address the question in any way except to note that you also use Merkle Trees. Do you reply to any comment mentioning TypeScript with a link to your Show HN post as well?

Agreed, NuN tagging is an awesome use of the NaN space, and it has the same benefits of being a no-op for pointers. I would only consider this for cases where NuN tagging is impossible, e.g. some system that needs more pointer bits than NuN tagging allows.

I'd add that the claim that this could be implemented in V8 doesn't take into account pointer compression, where on-heap V8 tagged pointers are 32-bit, not 64-bit.

Counterfactuals strike me as even less useful than underestimating competency would be. Surely basic double-entry accounting (necessarily implying the use of ledgers) should be considered table stakes for fintech competency.
Russia attacked Ukraine.

Ukraine had agreements from the West that we would defend them if Russia ever invaded. We are in violation of those agreements technically even with the level of support that was shown, which we provided as assurances for Ukraine surrendering its nuclear capability.

You're conflating attack and defense, framing the West funding of Ukraine's defense as an attack. You are downplaying the aggression that Putin has showed in multiple occasions in defiance of international law.

It's hard to see you as anything but a Russian troll using classic doublespeak and misdirection typical of Russian intelligence services.
From his own Bandcamp page: "Author & Punisher is an industrial doom and drone metal, one man band". Every review I could find describes the music as "industrial metal". Maybe your definition is off?
How do you figure the story is true?
Double-entry accounting is like strongly typed programming languages.

Yeah it's a real pain to get started because you need to understand the core concepts first then fight to balance the transactions ("compile errors") before you have anything useful. And when your results are wrong, you know that at least it's not because of the basic stuff.
Yes, are you crazy? 12 songs is such a low bar I find at least 12 new artists every month. The music scene is so huge that tiny niches in relative terms can get sustainable followings. I just went to a sold-out show last week where the headliner had 50k monthly listeners.

Did you just decide on your 30th birthday that you aren't allowed to listen to new music anymore? I can't even imagine listening to the same music collection on repeat forever.
The whole "move fast and do a shit job" is laughably stupid. It's pure incompetence and egotism and a product of excess salary in the market.

I'm also curious if this functionality is possible to achieve through browser configuration.

Alternatively, a browser extension could potentially provide a helpful solution.

I suspect the implementation may vary on a case-by-case basis. The example [1] on the page utilizes the luxy.js [2] library.

luxy.init({ wrapperSpeed: 1.0});

>Why would torturing and killing animals NOT be permitted today?

Because many people today would prefer that animals NOT be tortured and killed. Good people don't torture animals at all in general, and when we do kill them, it's for a definite end like food or to end suffering, and they are killed in such a way that they do not feel pain.

Increasingly, people don't want to see animals tortured and killed for some unknown or arbitrary end, like "let's just see what happens when we drown this rat dude, for science! lol".
There is no replacement for displacement.

Have several V8 Mustangs (both NA and supercharged), and an M4 with an S58 (twin turbo). Completely different profiles.

I like all of them, but they aren't even close to the same thing. I like the M4 for the luxury and ridiculous speed, but the raw horsepower from a V8 is so exhilarating
I imagine that in a "heavy numerical" part of the code one would ideally use identity-tagged floats, i.e., with no rotation applied. Instead, the (few) pointers that are used in this part would be stored in rotated state.

But thinking about how to mesh this scheme together with other, "normal" (that is, pointer-heavy) part of the code makes me slightly nauseous.

People tend to vastly underestimate how much the time needed for a new hire to come up to speed costs the employer.

This is true even of (theoretically simple) things like retail jobs, because even if you're proficient in the basic skill set on day one, coming up to speed on the rhythm of a specific workplace still takes time.

I'm buggered if I can remember where I saw it, but there was a study once that showed that (in that specific instance, I have no clue as to whether or not it generalises) a minimum wage increase actually *saved* retail/service employers in the area money overall, just because the reduced churn meant that over the lifetime of an employee with the company the fact that said lifetime was longer meant they were getting enough more value per hour out of each employee to more than compensate for the higher cost per hour.

Of course the study could always have been wrong, but it didn't seem obviously so back when I looked at it and it at the very least seems plausible to me.
? If I use something like Blake3 (which is super fast and emits gobs of good bits) and encode a node with say 512 bits of the hash, you are claiming that somehow I am vulnerable to tampering because the hash function is fast? What is the probable number of attempts to forge a document D' that hashes to the very same hash? And if the document in structured per a standard format, you have even less degrees of freedom in forging a fake. So yes, a Merkel tree definitely can provide very strong guarantees against tampering.
the problem is the discrepancy between what the Fintech means when they say fdic insured, and what the customer hears when they're told fdic insured. the customer (erroneously) assumes it means that if the Fintech or anyone else has problems, the customer is covered up to the 250k fdic limit. what the Fintech means, is that there's someone they're partnered with that is a bank and is fdic covered. How the money is deposited into the bank is up for interperation. if there Fintech is being dishonest, they have one bank account at a bank, and all of the customers money goes into that one shared account, they're not technically lying - the money is fdic insured. unfortunately for the customers, that's not the same as each of them being fdic insured is the Fintech goes under. fdic doesn't seem to want to clarify this issue either, which is a problem.

Have you seen that in something that's ABI-critical, though? i.e. whose code simply cannot be changed due to backward compatibility, like is the case with sockaddr? Because otherwise I'd consider it a non-issue.
