>Buy the biggest house you can reasonably afford

You should really look at real estate one of two ways when buying.

Either you're buying a home and you live there. Its unwise to treat that in the same vein as index funds. While its definitely an asset, the mindset of living vs investing in something isn't the same, and I recommend not conflating the two.

On the other hand, if you buy real estate as an investment you should remove any thoughts about it being a living space for you and/or your family. At that point, it should be seen as something you'll rent out to others (primarily the best way I currently have found to turn a profit on investing in real estate) or doing more speculative house flipping ventures, home builds etc.

I don't really think this blanket advice is the best advice. I do think its important to own your home - simply because of how society is structured, it heavily favors home owners, plus rent is simply lining someone else's pocket, where as eventually owning a home free and clear removes a major liability from you life. To simply buy the 'biggest you can reasonably afford' could land one in a bad place

I’ve always thought of it in these terms:

Working class: you are sustained by your current labor.

Upper class: you can sustain yourself based on the returns from your investments more-or-less indefinitely.

Middle class, between the two: you can sustain yourself off your investments for so long that you can’t practically be threatened by unemployment.

It is a labor relations issue explicitly, you need a union if you are in the first of the three classes, because otherwise you can be threatened by unemployment to do something dangerous or dehumanizing.

In the middle class definition, practically there’s some element of the fact that our skills are in high demand, so you can become unthreatened by unemployment by having just, like, a 1 year buffer. But I do think we can overstate how in-demand our skills to satisfy our egos…

From https://daringfireball.net/2025/04/gonzales_rogers_apple_app...

> Keep in mind this whole thing stems from an injunction from a lawsuit filed by Epic Games that Apple largely won. The result of that lawsuit was basically, “OK, Apple wins, Epic loses, but this whole thing where apps in the App Store aren’t allowed to inform users of offers available outside the App Store, or send them to such offers on the web (outside the app) via easily tappable links, is bullshit and needs to stop. If the App Store is not anticompetitive it should be able to compete with links to the web and offers from outside the App Store.”

And there's a subsequent post elaborating on this point: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2025/05/01/apple-lost-but-...

That's almost exactly my point. Four weeks into scandal B, it's not getting as much coverage and discussion as scandal A did during a campaign.

None of that is surprising, and I expect the current $SHITSTORM_DU_JOUR to get a lot more amplification in 2028 than in May of 2025, which is the same pattern as happened in scandal A's emails.

She was Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013. We heard a ton about the scandal in the 2016 election cycle [when it was convenient and useful politically], not in 2009-2013.

I'm friends with several retired military officers. They tend towards red, but they're absolutely incensed over the Hegseth topic, especially the ones who flew pointy jets.

Yea except with parquet you don't need to load the entire file, the parquet metadata let's you do http range requests for just the data you need.

For example this parquet is the entire english wikipedia (400mb) but loads less than 4mb including html and all js to display the first rows:

https://hyperparam.app/files?key=https%3A%2F%2Fs3.hyperparam...

This way you can have huge AI datasets in cloud storage, and still have a nice interface for looking at your data.

In particular, a lot of modern AI datasets are huge walls of text (web scrapes, chains of thought, or agentic conversation histories), and most datasets on huggingface are in parquet. So you can much more quickly look at your data this way versus say jupyter notebooks.

Here's the glaive reasoning dataset on the Hyperparam hugging face space:

Fullstory | Atlanta or Remote (US, Colombia, Brazil) | https://www.fullstory.com/

Fullstory provides privacy-preserving session replay and analytics for websites and mobile apps. Our session replays are nothing short of magical - they look almost like a video of the user's screen - and the combination with analytics creates eye-opening insights.

We have several engineering roles open. The fullstack roles are going to be working with Go (golang), gRPC, Solr, BigQuery/BigTable, Kubernetes (K8S/GKE), and more on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for the backend, and then TypeScript & React for the frontend.

Sure, and I actually wouldn't call the leadership of the USSR at that time (Stalinists) socialists either. It wasn't even that they wiped out those "who weren't Bolshevik aligned". The entire 1917 Bolshevik leadership was exterminated by Stalin by the end of the 20s.

(And frankly people who grew up in the Eastern Bloc in USSR-times were not taught this in history class, either. Or they got a distorted version of it)

What was established there in the late 20s and early 30s was very much a return of many of the forms of Tsarist autocracy, but with a paint job.

"Socialism in one country" and the efforts around it was the re-establishment of Great Russian Nationalism and a cult around a leader as the motive force of everything. Underneath that there was some usage of aspects of "Marxist" ideology, so it's not nearly as clear as what happened in Germany, but it's not dissimilar.

There's a reason why the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact was able to be signed.

I HATE the new web interface. It's significantly slower, shows less useful information, and has many more times where it just doesn't work as compared to the old web interface. If there was an option to go back to using the old web interface fully, I would sign up for that immediately.

For an example of a thing I hate about the new web interface is trying to buy a stock. You end up in some different part of the website where after you place your order it shows you a differently formatted order status page than the normal order status page. There's an Exit button at the top. Pressing the Exit button will pop up asking if you want to leave because you'll lose all your unplaced orders, of which you have none because how you got to the Order Status page was by fully placing an order. It's confusing for no reason.

Hello!

I've just released trale v0.3.0 — my attempt at building a small, simple, but fully-featured async runtime for Rust.

Trale is Linux-only by design to keep abstraction levels low. It uses io_uring for I/O, and provides futures for both sockets and file operations.

The big feature in this release is multishot I/O, implemented via async streams. Right now, only TcpListener supports it — letting you accept multiple incoming connections with a single I/O submission to the kernel.

You can find it on GitHub: https://github.com/hexagonal-sun/trale And on crates.io: https://crates.io/crates/trale

Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback!

Technologies: technical writing, hardware testing, performance analysis, data visualization

If you need to know whether your product is competitive, need that assertion backed up by data, and need to clearly communicate about it in any medium, I can help. I've spent over 10 years testing and writing about PC hardware, both in media and as a technical marketer for ASUS and most recently Intel. I'm also an obsessive editor who can help any team produce clean, well-structured, highly readable copy.

At Intel, I was responsible for full-stack competitive analysis of Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA GPUs for desktop and mobile systems, from add-in boards and laptop hardware all the way up through drivers, supporting software, the quality/usefulness of functional units like hardware video encoders, and developer features like the XeSS and DLSS upscalers. I also helped build out a team for pre-release game testing to identify performance wins and to spot issues for our dev teams.

During my time at The Tech Report (RIP), I selected benchmarks and generated and analyzed performance data for the latest and greatest CPUs from Intel and AMD and GPUs from AMD and NVIDIA. Our testing methods were especially focused on quantifying a smooth and responsive gaming experience by using frame-time analysis. I also reviewed pretty much anything else that went into or around a PC, like motherboards, monitors, etc.

Outside of work, I'm an avid hobbyist photographer, videographer, and Twitch streamer, so I have well-developed eyes and ears for quality beyond the written word too.

One thing i find interesting is how rarely labour struggles are depicted in mainstream tv/movies.

We have every type of revolutionary tv shows, including some fairly rediculous ones (e.g. divergent) but almost never strikes. The only exception i can really think of is that one episode of battlestar galactica (maybe give star trek ds9 half a point because they treated it in such a silly fashion).

In the end it is about latency. A common example for me would be multireplace, where I select a word, ctrl + d through all instances and replace them. The second step will present me with multiple instaces of often wildly differnt usages of one word per second. This being sluggish or unreadable would be a dealbreaker for me, personally.

I can imagine that a somewhat responsive display would also be important for vim users.

>Do we think index funds will continue to be this financial savior for regular people in the future?

I've never argued that there are not market inefficiencies that can be exploited by active managers, but the twist is the very act of exploiting those opportunities quickly eliminates them. Thus why it's so hard for an active manager to beat index funds long term. If you're worried about a few high market cap companies dominating stock indexes, you could always tilt towards small cap value. That sector has under performed for decades, but every dog has it's day.
by keyringlight | 2025-05-01 15:22:24+00:00
One of the things I wonder about recently is whether there's too many distros, which is dividing effort and there's less drive to find consensus on certain issues when everyone has the freedom to do things their own way and experiment to explore their niche. That freedom is the point of free software to a large extent, but there's costs to it. It also divides the userbase so when something doesn't work you may need to dive deeper into the details than you'd like to see if there's anything particular about your species of the linux animal kingdom.

It'd be interesting if there was a "Ubuntu v2" type effort, over 20 years later. Before ubuntu it's not as though desktop linux was an impossible dream or there was a lack of distros, but Canonical cleaned up a lot of rough edges to the extent it became a lingua franca. It's to the extent you can rely on ubuntu being in instructions for linux software, for example if there's any differences to required package names it'll be the ubuntu names over debian's.

"Enter the coordinates of a dead drop to check if it's hot (has stashed message)"

I entered ///limit.broom.flip as the co-ords.

It said it was empty.

So I wrote "This is a secret message!"

>Message stashed at ///limit.broom.flip >Your dead drop is hot.

In another browser, private window I went to https://www.dpolakovic.space/dead-drop and again entered ///limit.broom.flip

I see "This is a secret message! and a button to "Burn message"

Is there any software that can provide verified, trusted archives of websites?

For example, we can go to the Wayback Machine at archive.org to not only see what a website looked like in the past, but prove it to someone (because we implicitly trust The Internet Archive). But the Wayback Machine has deleted sites when a site later changes its robots.txt to exclude it, meaning that old site REALLY disappears from the web forever.

The difficulty for a trusted archive solution is in proving that the archived pages weren't altered, and that the timestamp of the capture was not altered.

It seems like blockchain would be a big help, and would prevent back-dating future snapshots, but there seem to be a lot of missing pieces still.

Thoughts?

> always considered the stock market to be gambling

I also feel this way, and all of the terminology and marketing around the stock market definitely reinforces this belief. I have my retirement put into one of those diversified retirement mutual fund things which I completely ignore, but other than that, I don't mess around with stock market stuff at all. The up & down junk, trying to decide when to buy or sell, all that stuff makes me feel terrible. Same feeling as going to a casino. Not my kind of fun. I don't want anything to do with it.

> when in reality, it's the OS

I disagree. Application developers have always been absolutely terrible at packaging. We see this all the time on linux, where publishers just fail to follow the packaging standard of the system, and instead develop an "installer" for their special little snowflake application. The OS cannot save you from that unless you also control distribution and can tell that publisher "you don't get to publish to my very valuable user group if you don't follow my rules".

Publishers have shown time and time again that if given a permission system, they'll just ask for every single permission under the sun, unless somebody stops them from doing that. The user sure isn't. They'll run whatever garbage installer script the publisher gives them because they want the application.

I don't like Apple's monopolistic behavior. I personally believe it would be a great service to the western world to break apart Big Tech, but the incentives that drive application development ARE broken. Apple has good reason to try and fix that with the app store, they just don't get to do it by running a monopoly.

There's a reason that Communists that don't follow Leninism or its derivatives tend to view the countries that call themselves “Communist” (all of which follow Leninism or one of its derivatives) as only rhetorically socialist in system and substantively state capitalist at best, as they are run by a narrow and self-perpetuating elites exploiting the working class through, among other means, control of the non-financial means of production.

This looks nice, I like how many of these tools have been surfacing. I recently started using https://readeck.org/, which aims to solve some of the same problems and really like it. Much better than a "bookmark" tool for things like articles.

My two favorite parts of Readeck are:

- it provides a OPDS catalog of your saved content so you can very easily read things on your e-book reader of choice. I use KOReader on a Kindle and have really enjoyed reading my saved articles in the backyard after work.

- you can generate a share link. I have used this to share some articles behind paywalls with friends and family where before I was copying and pasting content into an email.
