After braking the turbine isn't generating the energy it needs to in order to be net positive.

They have actually stopped that programme. https://www.ad.nl/binnenland/politie-stopt-met-inzetten-van-...

That's exactly what the README suggests to do under 'Usage'. First it says 'FROM node', which is the regular 'fat' image. In this image it then runs `npm install`. Further on there is another 'FROM' which starts from the minimal image and copies over all the JS code (including the node_modules directory which has been populated by npm) from the 'fat' image (this of course would fail for bindings that require libraries outside the node_modules directory, although it is relatively easy to add more COPY statements to also put these in the appropriate locations).

This is apparently intended to be used for a blockchain that contains SQL transactions in the blocks [1]. As there can be multiple 'heads' of a blockchain (before the network settles on a longest chain), there is a chance the head you picked as being the currently 'longest chain' eventually will not be on the longest chain at all. Hence you'd need the ability to go back to a point in time and execute the queries for another head, should it become the longest one.

This also explains why merging is not included (it is simply not needed for this application).

I did an SQL-on-blockchain a while ago [2][3] and ran into this problem as well. I solved it by not committing the last N transactions, and re-executing them for each read query in a transaction. This obviously is not a very efficient solution (and still runs the risk of having to re-execute the whole chain of queries in case a chain split occurs further than N blocks before the current head).

Actually made this a little while ago for Dutch municipality names. Works quite well as even Dutch people get confused about which ones are real. https://diasli.de/848

> In particular, layout is tricky because DOM trees imply both bottom-up and top-down constraints.

Well you can always choose to roll your own layout algorithm and position everything in the DOM using absolute coordinates - e.g. https://diasli.de implements an 'auto layout' mechanism disregarding DOM layout.

This may be true, but still I've encountered very few problems installing, updating and removing software on my Mac despite this compared to other platforms I've used. Why would having separate package managers coexist be a bad thing if they can be complementary? (e.g. Homebrew installs different kinds of things than the drag-to-Applications-folder mechanism).

And what time did it actually take in the end?

I suggest the next time traveller to prove being from the future by showing us the next 1000+ block hashes for the Bitcoin blockchain then...

I'm also skeptical about how constant the quality of the fries from one place will be. If, as I suspect, there is a large amount of variation over time, this test is useless and more like a lottery.

The question is whether the body spends any energy outside of that hour after exercising (e.g. by growing muscle, etc.) than it would otherwise. That would make exercise more effective when considering longer periods of time.

Also interesting: goroutines (Go), borrowing semantics (Rust), various forms of concurrency (e.g. blocks in ObjC/Swift with GCD, mutex closures, futures, etc.).

Hey, that's my project! :-) Previous discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14548174

Not sure whether BigchainDB implements consensus/PoW, but my attempt at building a blockchain-based database sure does. [1] Scaling a solution like that however is very difficult, and I can imagine BigchainDB aiming for applications where consensus/PoW is less needed.

So something like Catena (https://github.com/pixelspark/catena, I wrote this)? It does SQL based on Transactions stored in a Blockchain (and coincidentally speaks the postgres pq client protocol).

'kak' means 'shit' in Dutch as well. South African is quite similar to Dutch for colonial reasons.

That, and gloves!

Try 'reset networking settings', this fixed it for me. Appears to be related to mediaserverd crashes (check Privacy->Analytics if that is the case on your 6S as well).

Experienced the same issue, please have a look at Privacy->Analytics. If you (like me) find a lot of errors related to mediaserverd, then 'reset network settings' will likely fix it (like it fixed the lag on my 6S after upgrading to iOS 11).

macOS Sierra already periodically checks the firmware for Thunderbolt Ethernet adapters:

That might just depend on what parts of a "SQL database" you'd implement using a blockchain, and on the application type. You could e.g. segregate the data and only use the blockchain to authorize or timestamp transactions, for instance. In the latter case, Blockchain is just another consensus layer, and all distributed databases need one. See also https://github.com/pixelspark/catena, which uses the blockchain like a replication journal, logging only mutating queries and providing authorization based on public key crypto (disclosure: I am the author).

I did see those console windows here on Windows 10 but I am not (yet?) affected. So might also be related to something else (Windows Defender updates?).
