Assuming you're a US citizen?

If so vote for politicians who support better welfare systems and free healthcare (if you don't already), it would help take the edge of this stress.
Yeah I think that's why they're considered a baking apple.
You can cover up any deficiencies. But I've always liked 'em okay just for eating.
For those interested, Cockroach DB whose version one stable just got released lately, is taking the same approach as Spanner and is open source. In fact, it was started by a few folks from Google who worked on Spanner and other related tech.
Unless they need health insurance. Employer plans often won't discriminate against you for your age, but on the public market, you will be taken for all you're worth.

You're also more likely to need medical care.

It could that biases are essential for survival of society as whole. Something that survived for sure for at least 2500 years cannot be just simple error of judgement.
On at least some Intel chips, the turbo clock is only applicable to one core - do you see any indication that all 32 of these cores can run at 2.8Ghz? And if so, sustain that for any period of time?
Okay, but as long as they're happy, why is this a concern?

The article implies with the talk about "training people to spend" that other people should be concerned about this, but doesn't say why. I'm not really seeing it. It's not like the money supply is fixed. There are other ways to grow it if the Fed were willing to do it.
It's not. "whistleblower" is a commonly used compound noun, and "whistle-blow" is starting to enter usage, but in common usage, it's "blow the whistle" and "blew the whistle."
Ah, I just used 720h :)

And that's fair enough, I understand dedicated/shared are very different things, it's just that for me, right now, Spanner isn't viable. Change that and you'll be a whole lot more appealing!
The past is still with us, it just isn't evenly distributed any longer.
I'm the designer for Project Glimpse at Microsoft. Please do give it a try, any feedback would be highly appreciated!
Why does the golang garbage-collector not implement Generational and Compact gc?
Also, how does Spanner get around the CAP theorem and similar distributed systems results? It seems like the only tradeoff is monetary at the moment.
It is tough. I've taken a sabbatical before:

I think I'm in better shape this time. I'll take a tech job if I drop below $10k (just savings, not retirement). Last time I was on fumes.

I mean why wait till you retire? You could be hit by a truck or slip in your tub and die (or with my luck die of liver failure). Better to spread a year break ever few years.
Not disclosing automotive defects should be punished to the full extent of the law. Until examples are set there will always be known internal defects that are never disclosed and only addressed when discovered by external sources.
Most money isn't just sitting around. It's in a bank or an investment. Other people are using this money.
Presume you don't have any heirs, either. (Which is likely: when people are intent on "living frugally", having kids is usually seen as an expense they can't afford.)
Yeah, I am aware. The problem is that using, say, CompCert might result in less security in practice, since although the compiler transformations are verified, code written in C is usually more prone to security issues. It also puts the burden of proving memory safety on the developer, which is a requirement for proving nearly anything else. I don't know Rust well enough to know if this applies for sure, but I think it is a lot less to ask from the manufacturer that they produce a proof of the form "assuming this language's memory model holds, we have properties X, Y and Z" and then just hope the compiler is sane, versus requiring a more heavy-weight end to end proof. Also, eventually there might be a mode for certified compilation in Rust/Go, at which point you get the best of both worlds.
(I did write the book, yes :) )

> That implies that rust can't be used without cargo right there.

rustc can absolutely be used without cargo, and is in larger companies that use tools like Bazel. And we're working on making this even better, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-roadmap/issues/12 for one of the major items of work this year.

Second, again, Cargo is a tool you use to build your software, not necessarily one you use to distribute your software. It's like the difference between Make and pbuild or a similar tool; see the parent comment about "./configure && make" vs a system package.

> And I'm not seeing any libraries published as ubuntu packages.

Debian has an entire tool, https://crates.io/crates/debcargo, which automatically re-packages a Cargo package into a .deb. Currently, they only package the Rust compiler itself and Cargo, but this work was done specifically so that programs in Rust could be included in the distro, but packaged the way distros like. They've mostly been working on that stuff; I assume by the time Buster's cut-off date happens, there'll be some stuff; I'd like to see ripgrep, personally.

I haven't used -C prefer-dynamic in a while; usually SO questions get answered relatively quickly though.

Ask HN: Naming an App is brutal, What did you consider?
Trying to name an App
Racked my brain for days. Of course almost everything is taken.

It is a social space (we don't have enough of those apps right)

I have a few names.

#1 Is made up word that is easy to say and a bit related to a real word I would like to use (but another app is using the real word).
If you say it most people would be able to spell it when searching on app/play store

Though the made up word a few people have said it vaguely reminds them of a male body part/something dirty. One person said it could be name for gay hookup app.

If you google the made up word there are less than 75k results and nothing specific or dirty/naughty.

I wonder if the possible vague connotation would prevent people from downloading or effect branding?

#2 Is an existing word but missing an "e" (think flickr). Easy to say, can get any domain with alternative spelling (but .com)

Only problem is when searching people would most likely
include the "e"

Could also use full name also though for that google returns 150m results. While there is no other app with the exact name, there are a decent amount who have it in there description. Might hurt finding it in app/play store?

#3 Same name as a generic product but with different first letter but sounds the same. Only 600k results on google, most for the generic product. Might sound too much like pure chat app, and to lite sounding
for the app, not convey meaning of the app. (Though one can chat in the app).

Thoughts on what you considered when naming an app? Or thoughts on what my thinking is (and if wrong) would be great.
Maybe the government should consider spend more on public healthcare, so there is less fear

The estate typically goes to a charity in that case, pre-selected by the deceased.

When done properly, it can be fairly tax efficient.
I don't really have many issues with bug management on GNOME (that pain really goes to the bigger multi-module maintainers and the reassigning of bugs to the right places in the stacks), but for code review I'd probably just replace Splinter with a standalone instance of Review Board and call it good enough for the time being - basically waiting for someone to come up with an integrated code review/issue tracker that isn't tied to their company's infrastructure (Hello Google), is standalone installable and manageable (sorry GitHub) and doesn't impose a pull model on patch pushers (goodbye GitLab).
For me, it's mainly because it gives me one icon that's always Slack, no matter how many browser tabs I have open, no matter how many windows or even different browsers I am using at once.

Click there, get Slack. No risk of accidentally closing it or losing it somewhere.
Consider, it's up to you but consider, that you might get more joy out of gifts while you are alive to watch the recipients benefit from them than you do out of imagining how much they'll benefit from bequests you intend to leave when you die.
Surprised this wasn't done at the start of the birth of Atom.
I agree, if America had real health care, people would be less apprehensive in taking time off and caring for their mental health.

Unfortunately voting in America doesn't really do squat. We're first past the post and the corruption runs so deep no politician can stand against the health care industry. Elections here are a joke.
Who cares. Shareholders will do whatever they want. The sharemarket isn't rational. Hopefully the board is though.

Hi, Im the cofounder of kiwicampus.com, thanks a lot for the feedback, we are actually using monocular computer vision to navigate in the sidewalks and in some robots LIDARS for collision avoidance, we are also testing with SLAM detection in the smartphone we have in our kiwibots. We have made a great progress in automation and self driving, also in network software for take control of the robot if we need it (last 3 minutes of every delivery we control the car to make sure we deliver in the correct address, also for crossing streets and crowded sidewalks. Still in a semiautonomous phase but really excited about the future, let me know if you are interested in know more about us.

Hey HN, the Glimpse Team at Microsoft worked hard to release this tool which we think will be extremely useful for Node.js developers! Think of it as a debugging and diagnostics tool for your entire stack - all the way down to your database calls.

We have a lot of great features and new integrations planned, so if there's anything you'd really like to see, please let us know! You can leave any bugs, comments, suggestions, or feature requests here: https://github.com/glimpse/home/issues
As someone who works in the totally opposite situation (government job, permanent, no one gets fired for performance), I respect that Netflix publishes this deck. I would much much much rather have a company publish a clear set of expectations, pre-interview, than have those expectations be "read between the lines" or find out the hard way.

I try to be equally clear when I'm hiring. I make it clear to the candidates that this is not a place for individualism, not a place for innovation, not a place for cutting edge tech. We are heavily team oriented, process oriented, CRUD application maintaining, older stable tech platforms with interchangable teams. I want to make that clear, not because I want to "horrify" candidates (though no doubt many on HN are horrified) but so that people who want the exciting startup lifestyle aren't bamboozled by some swarmy HR position description that tries to sell something that isn't.

I respect that Netflix is willing to step up and make their expectations clear as well!
Sid will correct me if I am wrong but I think a big project like Gnome will want Enterprise because the last time I looked git hook was enterprise feature (hey they have to make money somewhere to keep the lights on)

Overall, I am very grateful that gitlab exists but gitlab.com does make me feel like gitlab over all is a slow piece of software.
Nobody is denouncing it because it isn't new, they're just saying that they shouldn't claim it's a new kind of experience when it doesn't really seem like a new kind of experience.
It might be completely deliberate, as the WoW generation might be coming into positions where they are now the "enterprise guys" that need to be targeted. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into a whimsical name.
Apple juice is often used as a surrogate sugar, because it is basically just sugar with a different name.
The website is super polished and doesn't mention anything about being alpha quality. It would be easy to install this on your phone without any idea you were making yourself vulnerable.
Yes, but that's frequency considered a gamble to folks dealing with their life savings.
Pick a name composed of two simpler names like Facebook or Snapchat. I ended up with Sublevel.net as a domain 3 years ago.
We are actually using monocular computer vision to navigate in the sidewalks and in some robots LIDARS for collision avoidance, we are also testing with SLAM detection in the smartphone we have in our kiwibots.

Still in a semiautonomous phase but really excited about the future, any feedback to improve our product?
Unity Game Development – Create a Basketball Game
I never use car-sharing simply due to locality.

More specifically, the pick up/dropoff points are always just slightly out of the way, I'd have no problem with car sharing if improved locality was a thing. Which would be easily solvable with self-driving cars, coming right up to my curb.
With historical context: They had memory management, recursion, and higher order functions. None of these were common at the time.
> I really hope operating system side sandboxing features mature and I'm able to control if and when software has access to such features.

In macOS at least, Slack and/or ScreenHero gets an entry under "Privacy > Accessibility" settings panel (just like apps like Synergy), where it begins disabled, and you have to explicitly go to that panel and enable it before it can do anything with your mouse/keyboard. You can disable it again at any time.
Things will change, people raised kids for thousands of years before the automobile. To some extent, the reason you carry around all of that stuff is because you have the car, and the current state is the best of all possible alternatives for you and your family. In the future, the best of all possible alternatives might change, and the conditions that lead you to having made a choice to live a car centric lifestyle may change such that future parents of young children will do it differently.

Maybe the design of cars radically changes. Maybe the design of spaces in which we live changes to accommodate a more car free/car subscription but not ownership lifestyle. Parents are a large market and people will make money by solving these problems, but the first step before that is autonomy.
As your parents age you get a chance to see how they handle retirement. You may also get to see their critical thinking facilities deteriorate which, I can tell you, is very sad.

One of the things my parents get exposed to fairly heavily are stories that our entire financial system is teetering on the brink of massive depression. Often times it comes with an offer for a 'sure fire' investment that will ride out this calamity. Well if you're parents are still clued in enough to not buy the snake oil, they might miss that their future outlook is being swayed by these pitches even if they don't buy into them. My great aunt, before she passed, had a suitcase in her closet with lots of cash in it to survive the coming collapse of society.

It can be very sad to watch.

That said, a number of financial planners have moved their estimates of the 'safe withdrawal rate' from 7% down to 4% or sometimes lower. This based on the anemic rate of returns over the last decade. As a result if you reduced your withdrawal rate to 4% and you were still getting returns that could have supported 7% your retirement funds will in fact grow by 3% per year.

And finally there is the whole inheritance thing. When you have kids, anything you leave them when you pass will help, except if you live in the US your "kids" will be retired already when you die. So perhaps you leave your estate to your grandchildren, or your great grandchildren. Then the kids who chose to lower their carbon footprint by not having kids themselves get angry that they don't get any of your inheritance. That causes a family dispute and all your children stop talking to each other. It isn't a laughing matter, although it is predictable. Sometimes I think it is better to leave nothing but memories, at least everyone gets to keep all of those.
It's also unlikely a company will just switch over self driving tech. A lot of the technology all these companies have is proprietary and I highly doubt it will all be interchangeable.

When I hear "serverless" I think "no middleware, all business logic moved either to the frontend or persistance layer". Frontends are now rich UI's that can consume data directly via API from the persistance layer, and whatever transforms, queueing, etc the middleware used to do is now handled either in the UI or the persistance layer.

One of the things that I think is missing from your documentation is better explanation of what happens if things fail. For example, if one of the async functions fails, do you re-run it? The async functions can have externally-visible invoking webservices and such - if something hiccups, do you run the function again? Can I come in and get a list of all the times it would have been run and re-invoke them myself later if need be?
Sub-optimal for whom? What does sub-optimal even mean in this case? Who benefits from "training to spend"?

It's not at all clear that the authors of the article are concerned about the well-being of rich old people. There seems to be some other argument that's not being stated explicitly.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_thrift

"an increase in autonomous saving leads to a decrease in aggregate demand and thus a decrease in gross output which will in turn lower total saving."
The problem is that their individual virtuosity (or frugality) can hold back the economy as a whole (and poor people might suffer most from that).

This is Keynes' Paradox of thrift.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_thrift
Sure, but then, you also need strict W^X memory protections, without exceptions (kernel included), since malware in memory of a device that doesn't often reboot is dangerous enough. For example, the very best malware for network devices never writes itself to disk even if possible, in order to avoid showing up in forensics. This already precludes most general purpose OSes and is still technically vulnerable to some convoluted return-to-X attacks that just swap data structure pointers around and use existing code to construct the malicious behavior, so I'd still feel better with a minimal trusted base even then.
There are two sides to every transaction, and whether low interest rates are good or bad depends on which side of the transaction you are on. Nobody is entitled to high rates on their savings.
Perhaps it all goes down to lifestyle inflation more than any inherent expense scaling with income opportunities.

I've heard of people in SF spending $1-$2 a day on food, living in a trailer and showering at work, while making 6 figures of $.

I've also heard of people complaining about $2k a month not being enough for food, and bragging about being debt free aka "mortgage doesn't count. A car doesn't either. Credit cards are temporary. Other than that, debt-free!".

It's a subtle beast - just before i got latter job i had $3k equivalent fall into my hands from a lucky investment. It was a big deal, and totally worth the effort of navigating the bureaucracy of extracting it into a spendable form. A few months later i got a new job and soon looking back it felt like a waste of effort and a bad decision, since i was now making that much in a month.

For a while i just went through my wishlist of equipment faster, still managing to more or less break even every month. It took the crash of 2014 to really make it sink in why saving is important.

Gnome already discounted Gitlab Enterprise as an option because its proprietary.

It is very hypocritical to promote free software while using proprietary software that you got special privilege for on the backend. KDE had the same line of thought when they chose Phabricator - if features like LDAP weren't locked behind Gitlab EE they would have used that, but they were only considering freedom respecting options, because they are communities of hackers that want access to improve their tools.
1998 Toyota Corolla vs. 2015 Toyota Corolla – Crash Test
Between the alternatives of:

1. Pay a bit more for a car you own (I mean, this isn't THAT expensive. A good used car costs maybe $8,000 and can last for five years).

or

2. Fundamentally restructuring your life to a pre-modern approach of childcare

Which one would you do?
Oh, if we had high interest rates and inflation, people with fixed incomes and savers would be feeling horrible too.

The idea that there would be safe investments with decent returns is inherently ridiculous. The closest one can come is oligarchs buying tax policy, or baby boomers making sure that housing stock is inadequate so the prioe of the their home goes up artificially at the expense of the young and poor.
This is tough, man. Some things I did when I was younger that helped me with this:

1) Go for a period of time (I did a month) living off of rice and beans (as far as I can find, the cheapest way to get close to a complete meal)[1]

2) Pare down everything in your life that isn't absolutely necessary. I put my bed in storage and lived in a hammock for a year. Cut out hot water for a period, stuff like that.

Once you do some of those things and realize that you can do it, living on a small income (or savings) in order to work on something becomes a lot easier.

I'm really lucky in that my runway is infinite, and a big part of it is because of the things that I listed. I know exactly how much the minimum I need to live off of is, I know what its like to live on that amount of money, and I know that it isn't scary.

He's right about one thing:

The global trading economy is one revolution away from collapse. Imagine a military coup in China. Imagine protectionism makes a dramatic rise across the west.

That was a court-ordered payment, not an act of generosity on the part of his or her employer. He or she may have been unpopular with his or her coworkers if the whistleblower chose to remain in the same job.
