>So if you believe all progress comes from business and profit, you believe all progress comes from the government, because business and profit is a side effect of governement.

Your logic is truly out of this world. Just because government is involved with progress DOES not mean it's the origin of all progress. Everything you listed is government aiding and facilitating in progress. Nothing of what you said necessarily means the government is a requirement for progress.

You remember that the american economy existed BEFORE money was minted by the government right? You read history right? So how the heck does your argument fit in the world of common sense? Like your incredible logic is Government makes money, therefore government is responsible for progress.

You realize that "money" aka gold, aka other forms of currency have existed without governments right?

I don't need to read a book to know about the anthropological origins of debt or money. Like clearly either you're an idiot, or you're just treating me like one coming up with completely misguided logic to point out what? To read some book? Please.

Not really, because initially they went with Glide, their great boards eventually weren't a match to Nvidia, that had enough cash to buy 3dfx.

I was disappointed that I couldn't make my newly bought Voodoo card work on my motherboard due to a PCI connection issue, but the Riva TNT that the shop offered me as possible alternative did, thus NVidia got one more customer.

> You can bundle it all into one file

This is the first I'm hearing of this, and a quick Google search found me a bunch of conflicting "methods" just within the NestJS ecosystem, and no clear indication of which one actually works.

nest build --webpack nest build --builder=webpack

... and of course I get errors with both of those that I don't get with a plain "nest build". (The error also helpfully specifies only the directory in the source, not the filename! Wtf?)

Is this because NestJS is a "squishy scripting system" designed for hobbyists that edit API controller scripts live on the production server, and this is the first time that it has been actually built, or... is it because webpack has some obscure compatibility issue with a package?

... or is it because I have the "wrong" hieroglyphics in some Typescript config file?

Who knows!

> There's this thing called worker_threads.

Which are not even remotely the same as the .NET runtime and ASP.NET, which have a symmetric threading model where requests are handled on a thread pool by default. Node.js allows "special" computations to be offloaded to workers, but not HTTP requests. These worker threads can only communicate with the main thread through byte buffers!

In .NET land I can simply use a concurrent dictionary or any similar shared data structure... and it just works. Heck, I can process a single IEnumerable, list, or array using parallel workers trivially.

What was actually typed by the author was:

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but at this stage you're messages are insta-filtered and so you're probably not even causing the slight annoyance.

As the other poster mentioned, it's probably best to just move on, or if you're adamant about interacting with people on Reddit of all places, then why not just create another account?

It’s not an all or nothing proposition. There is a gradient between going on a cruise ship (which is multiple times more polluting than even flying, disturbs everything living in the sea, are epidemy hotbeds, routinely reject untreated water into international waters, have questionable working conditions for the crew) and not experiencing life. Most people have never been on a cruise. I don’t think they’d say they haven’t experienced life.

There are places nearby wherever you live that you can visit and that don’t require sailing across the ocean in ye olde ship, flying, or taking a cruise to experience. And they’re just as beautiful, relaxing, and would provide the clarity/relaxation discussed in this article.

Someone has emailed us to point out the inflammatory, politically-charged commenting you've been engaging in lately, and I agree that it's not what we want to see on HN.

Comments like the ones you've been posting in the past few days that are low-effort but highly reaction-inducing for people across the political spectrum are the very kind of thing we're trying to avoid here.

A particularly bad one was this one [1], five days ago:

> You don't like being reminded of the results of your decision?

> Not generalizing, i mean you specifically.

It attacks someone for doing something without any evidence that they did that or agreed with people who did it.

You're a long-time user here and you've posted plenty of good things too, and we don't want to push you away from HN. But we need you to make an effort to use HN in the spirit that's intended, which means taking care to observe the guidelines and respect other community members.

We know we can't be a politics-free zone and it would be futile and counter-productive to try, but we can all make an effort to hold ourselves to a higher standard and make political discussions here higher-quality than what is found elsewhere, if we choose to.

Activists love to use the Federal Minimum Wage, which has not increased in a long time (16 years), as their basis for that claim, ignoring how few workers are actually paid the Federal Minimum Wage. It's become a worthless metric for anything other than misleading arguments.

In addition to state and local governments setting their own minimums, the decline in young people and competition for workers in that sector from food delivery companies, has put wage pressure on fast food companies. Most wouldn't be able to open their doors if they tried to pay the Federal Minimum Wage. Had it been pegged to inflation, it would be $10.90/hour, which is less than what fast food workers are paid almost anywhere.

> The vast majority of reputable Python codebases nowadays use static typing rigorously

As judged by who? And in what field?

I mean, if I look at the big Python libraries I use regularly none of them have types - Django, DRF, NumPy, SciPy, Scikit-learn. That’s not to say there aren’t externally provided stubs but the library authors themselves are often not the ones writing them

Nobody lies about the number st the end but also almost nobody understands the math behind it. The input are fuzzy numbers which later may be known more accurately (e.g. state data coming in later). They are weighted by historical importance that may drift. They may be computed indirectly from other statistics. and last but not least there seems also some tendency whether cultural or political to be optimistic.

The size of the negative surprise this time is worrying raising the distinct possibility that the part of the model which is extrapolating from the past is insufficient and reality shifted a lot more.

I very much dislike such features in a runtime or app.

The "proper" place to solve this, is in the OS. Where it has been solved, including all the inevitable corner cases, already.

Why reinvent this wheel, adding complexity, bug-surface, maintenance burden and whatnot to your project? What problem dies it solve that hasn't been solved by other people?

No. Because C#, while far from perfect, is still a drastically better language than JS (or even TS), and .NET stdlib comes with a lot of batteries included. Also because the JS package ecosystem is, to put it bluntly, insane; everything breaks all the time. The probability of successfully running a random Node.js project that hasn't been maintained for a few years is rather low.

You're probably right, but it ultimately leads to wage compression which is for most of the middle class a disaster.

You don't have to look far to see everyday people complaining about the price of a burger or movie ticket.

IMHO, it doesn't "lift all boats", it pulls down the middle and upper middle classes. Yeah, the lower wage jobs made more money, but they didn't gain much if anything in affordability, since all of the necessities are produced by people also demanding more money.
by fzeroracer | 2025-08-04 06:28:50+00:00
No, for two reasons. The first is that Americans often refuse to work those jobs (and for good reason, they pay incredibly poorly, have no benefits etc. It is generally a financial loss to do said jobs). We've tried multiple times to try and get Americans to work in the fields: it never works [1]. The second is that a large amount of our economy is heavily subsidized by said cheap immigrant labor and if you just straight up remove that labor, then the costs of everything goes up as many farms go out of business and die. That's just assuming that you somehow got Americans to go out and replace said jobs; suddenly removing 1+ million people from any labor pool would have drastic effects on the rest of the economy.

I think this is a superb point. If you look at Clojure and Rich Hickey's justifications for it's design, he talks a lot about designing systems that work with a world that is changing constantly, interfacing with systems where you can't always guarantee a stable contract, solving problems that use non-elegant models, dealing with state and time, and change in ways you can't predict. Eric Normand wrote a great article on this and he comes from a dual Haskel/Clojure background [1]. Nominal static type systems absolutely have their place, especially with closed systems where the abstractions are different.

I don’t think it’s actually faster than Jest in every circumstance. The main selling point, IMO, is that Vitest uses Vite’s configuration and tooling to transform before running tests. This avoids having to do things like mapping module resolution behaviour to match your bundler. Not having to bother with ts-jest or babel-jest is also a plus.

I'm not sure. But as a child, I didn't understand what it meant to "study" for a test. Didn't you read the book? Just look at the book in your head!

That sort of visual memory declined sharply after puberty.

I was still pretty good at memorizing things; in high school, memorizing lines for drama productions. But that was nothing like the visual memory that I used to have.

Almost certain that this isn't quite what is meant by photographic memory, but I wonder if what I experienced was anything at all related.

I often come across tips/pointers/exhortations about how to write good design documents. I generally agree that it's an important step: not just for clarifying your own thinking, but also for communicating effectively with others.

However, these types of posts often lack are concrete examples of what a good design document actually looks like. I understand that many of these documents are proprietary and intended for internal use. Still, are there any examples of well-written design documents available publicly that learners can study to get a clearer idea of what one should look like?

Hey, this is a fun sideproject for me, After seeing the wow factor coming from users accessing tools through chat, and the excitement it generates in sales calls or with other users I felt this is something that is harder to experience than it needs to be. For example here is a cloudflare docs chat that can be tried out https://superfire.me/space/0lj2IWHO?pwd=QDHVeE7p. Allows to really dive into how cloudflare works with no large complexities. I'm really happy to answer any questions and open to anything. Thanks!

As others have said, this is classic selection-effect. Lina Khan isn't coming out and telling people about

- the companies that died because acquiring them was too much of a hassle

- the companies that died or never got funded / started because the investors couldn't see and exit path

- the companies that got acquired piecemeal (Windsurf, Inflection), leaving the early employees with NOTHING simply to avoid the ire of anti-trust hawks at the FTC. This has irreversibly damaged the SV bargain - early startup employees work hard in case of an acquisition, they get rich.

So Lina Khan can keep patting her own back but there's a reason founders, early-stage startup employees and investors disagree.

If you read my comment I said there are downsides:

"But yes there are downsides. But the biggest ones you brought up are not true."

My point is.. what you said is NOT true. And even after you're reply, it's still not true. You brought up some downsides in your subsequent reply... but again, your initial reply wasn't true.

That's all. I acknowledge the downsides, but my point remains the same.

Does running `ip link set mtu 1280 dev eth0` on the client machine fix it?

A lot of servers have somehow managed to screw up their path MTU discovery. People have been using client-side workarounds for this for many years, but I suspect the workarounds are often forgotten on v6. Unfortunately the resulting problems then get blamed on v6.

The other possibility is broken multicast on your local network. Some Wifi mesh APs and "range extenders" just don't work properly. The test for this would probably be to take them out of the network path by connecting directly to the main router via Ethernet and seeing if you can talk to Internet hosts properly.

>most would consider to be a source of ridicule (4BR SFH in 2k sqft)

I don't think most people would consider it a source of ridicule. (BTW, you omitted 279sqft.) In all the places I see discussing it online, I see tons of people saying 2279 sqft is a normal or even large size for 4BR, and only 1 person saying it's small[1-6].

The average bedroom size in the US is 132 sqft. The average master bedroom size is 224 sqft[7]. Even if we go with 224, with 4 of those, that's 896 sqft used by bedrooms, and 2279-896 = 1383sqft for non-bedroom stuff. I don't see why that's so bad.

>BTW, you haven't made an argument about real estate differences. The smaller home might be a better deal.

chasebank described it has a "shithole". So I assumed the real estate was bad. If chasebank was describing a house on a super valuable piece of land, chasebank should have mentioned that. It would be an important piece of information that would completely undermine chasebank's point. It would be misleading for chasebank to leave out that information, so I assumed chasebank didn't do that. Anyway, the real estate of the one I linked to seemed fine to me.

The chicken tax encourages creative workarounds more than domestic production. Importing all the parts and putting them together in the US is production work, so fine. Importing chassis cab and putting a bed on in the US is silly, importing with seats discarded in the US is wasteful (Ford got dinged, but I don't think others did?)

Who's making small cargo vans domestically? Nobody. So they're all 25% more expensive, so you might as well buy a big cargo van when a small one would do.

Honestly, governments buy enough light trucks, that 'buy american' requirements would likely keep at least one company making them here.

> Air travel and airspace are changing

What about air travel and airspace are changing? Are we doing this because of commercial delivery drones or are drones going to do something else too in this airspace?

The text in the website talks about as if the whole thing is to accommodate the next evolution of air travel but all the images and most of the content seem to be about drones.

And the naming of the project, put together with the imagery makes me think the idea is let's deploy drones that are all around to monitor things.

These are both excellent ways to reduce your living expenses, particularly spreading the cost of housing + utilities over two or more people by sharing a house or an apartment. Also a great way to boost your savings rate when you start making an income again.

> What problem does it solve that hasn't been solved by other people?

nothing. Except for "portability" arguments perhaps.

Java has had security managers and access restrictions built in but it never worked very well (and is quite cumbersome to use in practice). And there's been lots of bypasses over the years, and patch work fixes etc.

Tbh, the OS is the only real security you could trust, as it's as low a level as any application would typically go (unless you end up in driver/kernal space, like those anti-virus/anti-cheat/crowdstrike apps).

But platform vendors always want to NIH and make their platform slightly easier and still present the similar level of security.

> Good question - it has a partial answer: minimum wage is to provide a living to a single young person for a shortish period.

This is false and not at all the reason why the minimum wage exists. It was created to bust sweatshops. You are making the same argument as the people that were defending sweatshops. It may be the argument proponents make now to argue against raising it, but it was not why it was created. Roosevelt literally said that the intent was that any business unable to provide a basic living wage for their workers was one that should not exist.

I think there is some kind of misunderstanding. Sure, if you get somehow structured, machine-generated PDFs parsing them might be feasible.

But what about the "scanned" document part? How do you handle that? Your PDF rendering engine probably just says: image at pos x,y with size height,width.

So as parent says you have to OCR/AI that photo anyway and it seems that's also a feasible approach for "real" pdfs.

I'm not sure which side you're putting me on, because I think named types are important for exactly the same reason that named fields are. A customer should not just be a pair of str, int in the same way that an age should not just be an int and a name should not just be a string (and using an int field called "age" is a poor substitute for using an actual age type).

I'm not familiar with all frameworks you listed, but i've worked extensively with spring boot and i can assert you that it's not a opinionated framework (as in one way how to do things correctly). Blazor and Phoenix are niche frameworks that don't have wide adoption outside this site. Django has a shared history/competition with Rails but it's also not widely popular.

Don’t forget that you also can invest in negative dollar by taking loans. Then, the reduction of purchasing power does actually benefit you.

So, whoever has significant wealth will do exactly this and take out loans to purchase productive assets and then, later on, pay back much less because the dollar lost value in the mean time.

This works out as long as the interest rate is lower then the actual annual loss in purchasing power.

A thing that is rarely mentioned and I also do not see it mentioned in this article, is that these communities of organisms, even if they live in the dark, are sustained in a great proportion by the free oxygen dissolved in the water, which comes from above, from the phototrophic algae and plants.

Most of the energy that is used for chemosynthesis by the bacteria upon which all others feed, comes from the oxidation with free oxygen of the hydrogen sulfide that comes out from the oceanic vents. Only a small part of the bacteria present there are methanogens, which use free dihydrogen coming from the vents and carbon dioxide, to make methane. Except for the methanogens and for the even less abundant acetogens, most bacteria living there still depend on the solar energy captured by algae and plants. The same is true for all the animals present there, which feed on bacteria or on each other.

So if a giant meteorite would hit the Earth, preventing photosynthesis for some years, that could still wipe out most of the members of these chemosynthetic communities from the bottom of the ocean, because the water around them will be depleted in oxygen, killing even most of the bacteria.

Of course, at least most of the anaerobic bacteria will survive.
