166,866 | null | null | This has always been true though. The government basically controls the real estate companies, and they won’t list/show your house beneath a certain price. When prices weaken, volume simply plummets as no one can sell because the real estate companies won’t allow for discounting.

166,867 | null | null | WorkerDOM has a DOM representation, but I wouldn't call it a "virtual DOM". It's just propagating mutations back and forth. It wouldn't, for instance, have the ability to reorder nodes in a list in linear time (like React does with the key={} prop). When a change takes place, it's not diffing anything, it's just mapping one representation of the DOM onto another. If you set innerHTML in the worker, it would set innerHTML in the main thread also. | null | bastawhiz | null | 1,538,485,213 | "2018-10-02T13:00:13Z" | comment | 18,121,114 | 18,120,262 | null | null | null |

166,870 | null | null | > I believe the author is referring to high inflation as measured by things that reserve banks look at (in Australia this would be the consumer price index etc); while house prices either stay stagnant or rise slower than said rate of inflation. Thus, the nominal price of housing is maintained, while the real value tanks.<p>Yes, this makes perfect sense in theory - housing inflation has dramatically outpaced everything else, so <i>if</i> the government causes a whole bunch of monetary inflation by printing money <i>and</i> that money doesn't go into housing but goes into other things (maybe even wages!), then it will let those prices catch up, while also devaluing the cost of the housing debt.<p>But I think printing money is what got us into this situation in the first place, it just mostly all went into housing, to stop that from continuing you'd need to change the collective beliefs of nearly the entire population. This is one thing that could genuinely be "different this time": the belief that real estate always goes up. And you can hardly blame people, because it's more or less true, and is virtually guaranteed by more than one government policy. | null | mistermann | null | 1,538,485,180 | "2018-10-02T12:59:40Z" | comment | 18,121,110 | 18,119,532 | null | null | null |

166,880 | null | null | Sometimes I'm a little sad about && and || as well (I'm a Python guy myself) but I get that Rust is trying to target C++ programmers first and foremost, and a little bit of familiarity goes a long way towards comforting newcomers. And judging by the number of self-proclaimed Python programmers lurking in in #rust (including at least one quite famous one), it hasn't been a complete turn-off.<p>Then again, the "C familiarity" rationale would seem to contradict the choice of `match` over `switch`, though I think pattern-matching is a sufficiently big deal to warrant a distinct keyword. It's an interesting comparison to Rust's old `tag` keyword, which was finally changed to `enum` because the easiest way to explain it was "look, they're basically C enums, but better". Personally I think the keyword should have remained `tag`, but you can't win 'em all. :) | null | kibwen | null | 1,350,392,057 | "2012-10-16T12:54:17Z" | comment | 4,659,580 | 4,658,608 | null | null | null |

166,882 | null | null | A little off-topic, but does anyone know why Modafinil is so powerful on willpower (i.e. capacity to power through things one doesn't care about)? Anecdotally it's as though it removes all "willpower barriers" - those little objections one uses to avoid doing things (e.g. "but the water is cold").<p>I initially put it down to it being used when people are sleep-deprived (as I find willpower is easier when sleep-deprived) but it's even more effective when rested. | null | nopassrecover | null | 1,350,392,161 | "2012-10-16T12:56:01Z" | comment | 4,659,586 | 4,659,552 | null | null | null |

166,897 | null | null | I had a co-op position while at school, and I found the opportunity through the school's co-op/internship office. They had system like Monster where you could post your resume to positions, except they were only looking for interns from my school.<p>A friend of mine just got hired as an intern at my work. We needed someone and I knew he was looking. Everything worked out on both sides and he accepted.<p>Expectations for interns, at least in my experience:<p>1) You're going to get trained. There's a 99% chance you don't know what we want you to know<p>2) You're going to learn quickly, because otherwise you're gone in 3 months and that was worthless<p>3) You're going to be given a project (or piece thereof) that realistically can be finished or mostly finished by the time you leave.<p>So what I'm looking for in an intern (I did screening of applicants at my last job to replace myself as a co-op) is a willingness to learn, reasonably smart, and good time management. The latter 2 you can approximately screen for in GPA, or GPA + outside activities. If you're excited in whatever we do that will give you a big leg up, or if you've done something approximately similar to what that is.<p>My last job would also only seriously look for applicants in spring, though we did interviews year round. In summer we'd start hitting other companies' rejects that couldn't get a job for that summer. Fall was hit or miss, depending on if they wanted to start in spring or summer.

Selling Android apps on a PC storefront which also has its own apps causes confusion as to whether or not the apps will work on your PC. In this case, they specifically use the name Android in several places, and I didn't see anywhere that it said "works on your PC" or "doesn't work on your PC".<p><i>It's a good time to do it since the masses unfortunately love Angry Birds</i><p>They've had a webapp store which sold Angry Birds for the PC.

166,901 | null | null | You should learn C because it's a gateway to deeper knowledge. The kernel uses it, about a thousand programs shipped with Linux use it, embedded programming uses it. It helps you understand how lower level network protocols have been designed, how to efficiently use memory, how to design algorithms and why they're harder than you think. There's a crapton of libraries in C, most higher level languages have some extensions to take advantage of them. Sensitive security software will use it, due to various attack vectors that are slightly easier to deal with at a lower level. It's handy and expands your brain.

I know this has been beaten to death but after using a dynamic typed language all this time, it is even more painful.<p>- Weird dependency management. No way to lock dependency versions, even if I fork something and depend on it, nested dependencies can fuck up at some point. We need something like NPM to manage our dependencies in a sane way. Importing from live git paths seems like the worst possible solution to this. And there seems to be no widely accepted 3rd party package manager.<p>- Google...

166,930 | null | null | In my experience, finance scumbags and startup scumbags are different breeds. Finance scumbags are greedy but honest. They believe themselves entitled to own $20 million apartments and will do whatever it takes to get them, but they don't pretend to be anything other than what they are. Startup/tech scumbags (because they're more accountable; Zynga's behavior would be unremarkable coming from Goldman) tend to be a bit better at disguising their intentions. They also tend to care more about power, social access and kingmaking, whereas finance scumbags are purely about money. In my opinion, that makes finance scumbags more respectable (or, I should say, less repulsive).<p>That said, I like technology a lot better. There are always going to be scumbags when there's money, but the difference (IME) is that: (1) there are more normal (non-scumbag) people in tech, probably 85% vs. 70%, (2) the normal people in tech are more interesting and creative, whereas decent people in finance tend to be boring, 9-to-5 types, and (3) technology has a small but sizable number of people who are decent and have entered the upper ranks, whereas there's a glass ceiling that non-scumbags experience in finance (unless they start their own trading firms).<p>I didn't move from finance to technology with the illusion that I'd never have to deal with another asshat. I moved because in technology, it's much more likely that <i>I</i> can succeed (a) in a creative way, and (b) without becoming a scumbag myself. | null | michaelochurch | null | 1,320,966,300 | "2011-11-10T23:05:00Z" | comment | 3,222,339 | 3,221,135 | null | null | null |

Yet, counter examples of DRM-free distribution disprove any need for them.<p><i>> It's likely not changing any time soon because as you said, it makes the owners of this IP a lot of money.</i><p>It can change depending on competition. Advance of crowdfunding helps artists and independent studios to release their works without involvement of thick-skulled publishers who drag this DRM insanity into the distribution. Most indie releases are DRM-free. One can ponder why that is. They also need to make money, so one can't claim they have less business sense than legacy publishers.<p>For example, in computer games there are more and more DRM-free releases coming out each year. And this already includes funded by publishers, and not just indie games. With more competition releasing something DRM-free, there would be more reasons for publishers to change their attitude. With movie industry that doesn't happen yet because competition is still weak. Most publishers are a tight conglomerate of related companies which follow the same policies and agree on common terms. It can be enough for one strong disruptor to break that situation. | null | shmerl | null | 1,400,184,195 | "2014-05-15T20:03:15Z" | comment | 7,751,865 | 7,751,843 | null | null | null |

Your larger window of opportunity to "get your own thing going" is a direct function of, well if not age, then exactly things like this that builds up experience, connections, and exposure to pressure-intensive situations, <i>that you will wish you had</i> whenever you decide to strike out on your own.<p>Despite what you read on HN, there is really no rush. So use this opportunity as a stepping stone upwards, wherever it leads. | null | sdrinf | null | 1,287,092,353 | "2010-10-14T21:39:13Z" | comment | 1,792,748 | 1,790,733 | null | null | null |

The smallest rural cities I'm thinking of offer WiMax or some kind of similar service which is cheaper than cable for many customers. | null | grandalf | null | 1,400,184,123 | "2014-05-15T20:02:03Z" | comment | 7,751,860 | 7,751,021 | null | null | null |

166,947 | null | null | I believe this comes down to interfaces. It's fair to assume that programmers will have greater ease in a UNIX command line environment after overcoming the learning curve. On the other hand, standard user would be better off interfacing with a GUI as it is superior to command line for tasks that are different than a developers. Data creation vs. Data consumption. | null | wopsky | null | 1,297,925,497 | "2011-02-17T06:51:37Z" | comment | 2,230,114 | 2,229,833 | null | null | null |

166,950 | null | null | If the point you just made was a person, I think I'd walk alongside him for 3/4 of a mile, and then stop right there. Do some people have trouble staying organized? Of course. Are they hopeless lost causes whom technology can't help? That's going too far.<p>The productivity field is an interesting area where, if you want to build something great, you need to do some real research on human behavior and psychology. If you had the world's most delicious ice cream, I doubt you'd try selling it in Siberia. Nor would you sell balloons at a funeral. Or cars without gas in the tank. So what's troubling is, plenty of people make seemingly-great productivity tools, and then promptly ignore obvious issues... like the fact that people tend to lose motivation over time. There's a reason we're building Taskforce in the inbox, and it's not because we're hopping on the "email overload" bandwagon.<p>We think that with enough intelligently-directed effort, we can create something that really does make people better at what they want to do. | null | csallen | null | 1,297,925,388 | "2011-02-17T06:49:48Z" | comment | 2,230,110 | 2,228,892 | null | null | null |
166,951 | null | null | Similarly I've often wondered if it results in hotter coffee to mix your milk with the coffee when it goes into the thermos, rather than when it comes out. I'm pretty sure it is better to do it this way - my reasoning is that the hotter black coffee, because of a greater temperature difference with the surroundings, loses heat more rapidly through the thermos walls than the milk + coffee mixture. But I'm unsure how significant the effect is. Perhaps I'll measure it some time. | null | phaedrus | null | 1,297,925,473 | "2011-02-17T06:51:13Z" | comment | 2,230,111 | 2,229,758 | null | null | null |
