I doubt domain logic would ever be in 2NF. My domain logic certainly doesn’t have pivot tables of IDs for join lookup

Sort of, but the downside of waterfall was you build the wrong thing and waste a shitload of time rewriting it.

When rewriting the entire codebase is very quick and cheap, why bother iterating on small components?

I buy the argument 'we should prepare for Q-Day as crypto agility is hard', but the newest paper doesn’t change the timeline meaningfully.

Given TFA accepts that error correction is the bottleneck for progress, and the gap between any and lots of error correction is small, and we presently have close to 0 error correction then nothing has practically changed with reduced qubit requirements.

Of course, it’s totally fine to have and announce a change of view on the topic, though I don’t see how the Google paper materially requires it.

I disagree and you could reduce basically anything to this: 'there can‘t be any interesting discussion about React. Every conversation boils down to which framework you use or how you manage state or whether you use typescript or javascript‘

10mins is a lifetime in capital and crypto markets - I find it hard to believe that trading 10mins after the Terraform Labs swap hit the chain constitutes insider trading.

The claim of artificial price inflation with Jump sounds more questionable but TFA doesn’t seem to put it front and centre

Don’t need an app for Apple Pay

I‘ve been a happy user of https://helium.computer for a few months now after a previous Mozilla faux-pas. So far I don’t miss Firefox in the slightest

Thanks for this.

I find having a name to certain phenomena makes them easier to understand and apply in the wild, and will definitely think ‘barker’ in the future haha

Verifiable quantum randomness sounds interesting - https://drand.love is another verifiable randomness beacon, though using more traditional cryptography

Most people with a mechanical engineering degree cannot buy an _average_ house - not quite the same

Not quite vim bindings, but lichess supports typing pgn for moves (at least for blindfold)

I’m not suggesting LLMs are infallible, but boy you’re overselling the accuracy of literature

When it takes multiple lifetimes to read the Terms of Service for everything a normal person uses to get through daily life, it’s not a case of willingness

ah, I assumed it was just me - I can’t scroll at all one the page on mobile

>When you point out that, for example, health insurance profits are low single digit percentage of overall healthcare costs

Do you have any source for this?

I’m assuming (because HN) that you had the USA in mind, and it doesn’t pass the sniff test for me given that US insurance fees are more than single digit percentages higher than other high quality care countries with privatised healthcare systems

Answer a few messages? Catch up on the weather or news? Why waste 30 otherwise useless seconds?

Afaik the x25519 recipient uses chacha20poly1305 which is authenticated

Or kids will be driven to free VPNs that track them/inject ads into them/etc

Wow, perhaps I’m naive but what the hell are they spending over $800M a year on? That seems an obscene amount for a glorified message board.

I just read they have 2000 employees which is also puzzling to me

I find it’s the best way to work through these types of books - otherwise I tend to just copy the code mindlessly. Doing the exercises from a book in another language forces you to consume the semantics of it better.

I did the Torsten Ball books in Kotlin rather than Go and learned a lot

>The governments of all countries 'print' new money at a steady rate

Central bank != government in most developed countries

>so long as all currencies inflate at a similar rate; the foreign exchange rates will be stable.

Exchange rates are not stable for a variety of reasons that are not purely supply-related

It reduces the number of shares on the public market, not the total number of shares. This can drive the price up if there is high public demand for the now reduced number of shares available

They _could_ see those things, but they didn’t do anything with them at the scale that’s happening now

Edit: in fact, before widespread TLS practically everybody could see them…

Implying getting clinically obese hasn’t already messed with the hormonal balance of hunger and survival?

Over a quarter of the country are immigrants, so they’re indeed immigration-friendly

do you have any breakdown on the trade-offs? Most HN commentary focuses on FUD around the signal founder rather than technical reasons why it shouldn’t be federated and would love to understand them better

Great post - I love these candid insights into founder life.

It’s hard to learn a lot of these lessons without going through it, so I really appreciate you sharing

Now that QUIC is widely supported this is probably a lot easier than in the days of yore, though 100m rps is no joke

The perpetrator is clearly a highly skilled dev, it doesn’t seem farfetched that they could become acquainted with a ‘foreign’ tech stack to sell a cover story
