Anonymity and fluidity of payments is something which technology can potentially address, but I agree that this is currently not the case. I see no reason why this couldn't change in the future. Wanting everything online for free is, i

Thanks, this looks like a good way to interface with the browser APIs. I found an example of a game created in it: https://deque.blog/2017/03/28/building-a-clojurescript-game-... ( Source: https://

As far as I can tell, SFML wouldn't be appropriate. By web-based publication, I mean using the APIs supported by browsers (Canvas, WebGL, Web Audio API). Potentially I could use Emscripten's HTML5 API ( https://kripken.

Can anyone recommend a Lisp dialect / environment which is suitable for web-based publication, and game multimedia (graphics, audio, control, etc.)?

Studies have shown sleeping for longer also correlates with increased mortality. Although I've not seen a study which establishes the causality of this. It's plausible that people who are sleeping longer are doing it because (pote

Often the line between hardware and software is blurred (is FPGA logic or processor microcode hardware?). Avoiding catastrophic failure may be a non-trivial problem. In the example case of a CNC machine, you must avoid putting too much stra

It's an interesting question. I can think of a valid reasons for software voiding a warranty. E.g. if I use non-recommended software to drive a CNC machine, and it causes a destructive head crash, or custom engine management software t

I'm aware that this is the case once the connection is established. What I was referring to was the latency of TCP and TLS connection establishment, involving multiple round trips. Maintaining a persistent connection introduces the pro

I think a better analogy is bacteria. We healthily carry around about a kilogram of gut bacteria, but far less of some toxin producing strain like Anthrax will kill you.

Overpopulation isn't ultimately the problem, but rather over-consumption of finite resources. If people consume resources in an unbounded way, then population doesn't matter. The energy consumption of someone in the US is roughly

Where are you getting your numbers from? $3k * 12 months * 7 would be $252k/yr. Glassdoor reports average software engineer salaries in SF at $125k/yr. Still, you're right that $3k is on the low side for SF, if you're tr

It seems to me that neither TLS or DTLS are appropriate transports for DNS. Both are connection oriented transports, with DTLS simply allowing that connection to be lossy. To maintain the performance of DNS, you'd want a connectionless

That doesn't mean that labour aren't a more frequent source of food-borne illnesses, just not the most serious cases. I'm not likely to die from someone sneezing in my food, but I don't want to catch what they have nonet

Google and Facebook also have personal information about users which a self-hosted / privacy respecting solution inherently doesn't, such as gender, age, "likes", etc. I haven't used these analytics platforms myself

Pretty cool, thanks for creating this. A good addition would be audio output, or MIDI export. From looking at the tabs, this seems mostly aimed at fingerstyle guitar playing, rather than playing with a plectrum. Some parameters to the gener

The plain HTML example is a bit of a straw-man. It's beyond "dated", being a faux pas for all but the most ascetic of users. My interpretation of "resources" here would be time / money. Making sure a site is ac

In the context of Facebook's tracking of non-users and logged out users being found illegal in Belgium, and potentially elsewhere in Europe, couldn't this legally be considered an extortion racket?

Consumer protection effectively does change if its enforceability changes. If a system's security is improved (or at least the security theatre is improved), it's easier to disbelieve victims of fraud, and even accuse them themsel

Nice minimalist style. How do you plan to handle growth? Will there be categories, or search functionality, or just a curated selection? I immediately recognised the Mini Materials bricks, from this story previously on HN: https:/&#x2

Does the GDPR actually express a right to account deletion? My understanding is that it expresses only a right to erasure in a limited set of circumstances. Given that comments are public, I think it may be possible to deny the right to era
