The idea is that people need that power. If a state with a lot of people has a lot of power generation this will be not enough if per-capita power generation is too low. Of course power can be imported but overall per-capita seems to be mor

So for automatic bootstrap use a hard-coded or generated list of long-lived nodes or a list downloaded from different p2p systems. The hard-coded list could be updated with a new version. Additionally allow manual input of addresses.

One problem of p2p is bootstrapping. When a p2p application starts the first time it needs to know how to contact the first peer. After that the first peer can give addresses of more peers. But how can the p2p application get the address of

Adding to my comment after a good night's sleep: To create a loop back to the first image is a bit tricky. You need to put in the zoomed-out previous image as before, but also a ring-shaped part of the zoomed-in first image. It's

I looked at the images. I imagine they are created like this: Paint the first image, then make a copy, zoom it out and paint around the center and repeat about 44 times. For the last about four images take care to create a loop back to the

Yesterday I had fun exchanging pictures with friends we all shoot ourselves. They all looked like sepia filtered but weren't edited. After some time outside you don't see the orange-brown hue anymore. But when driving all lights o

My wife has cerebral palsy and needs a hardware keyboard. Therefore we will try to keep BlackBerry phones alive as long as possible. It's a niche market.

By the way, the 6502 (yay Commodore 64!) has something like a microcode: a PLA. This describes it a lot better than I ever could. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5353198 Visual 6502 made me understand my Commodore 64 i

You need to resample sound. If you play sound faster everything will sound higher like Mickey Mouse. At 2 or 4 times the speed I think is a simple step, just omit every two or three of four samples. Anyway, this gives different distortions.

Facebook and newspapers are both private companies and are subject to the same law. They can't do whatever the hell they want. They can't publish slander, for example. However it seems that limits to free speech are expressed diff

I think the trick is that contractors don't work full time at Gumroad so that they can have other projects. In Switzerland for example you are self-employed only if you have several clients and are autonomous. It seems that it is easie

Thanks! I just learned something new now. To clarify: if you just click, the pane slides in from the right. On my system there's a toggle DO NOT DISTURB (in all caps). However if you option-click, you toggle directly and the notificati
