The goal is ~1% inflation, which is less than cash, and better than Bitcoin for many years (until ~2025 it's above 1%).

So with lower fees, lower inflation, and higher throughput the velocity is more likely to grow significantly than decrease.

Hello,

I'm really sorry to hear that you have had such a tough time, hopefully this thread shows that many, many people have similar experiences and struggles. You are not alone.

Have you tried reaching out to any organisations that might be able to help you? In the UK The Samaritans are on 116123 (https://www.samaritans.org/)
Fantasy author Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn, Wheel of Time, Stormlight Archive) teaches a writing class where one of his lectures focuses on the notion that writing is more about skill/craftsmanship rather than ideas/inspiration:

I want to disabuse you of a few notions. Writing is not about inspiration. Writing is not about ideas. Writing, or more specifically, getting published, is not about luck. What is writing about, then? Writing is about skill. And today I want to try and prove this to you.

When someone sits down to play piano for you, how quickly can you tell if they're a good pianist or not? Basically everybody in this room can judge a pianist's level of skill within a minute or two of play. Not exactly, but you can know if this is someone who's good at piano, or if this is someone who's still an amateur at the piano. You can probably tell if this is a master versus someone who's just pretty good.

Editors, published writers, people who know what they're doing, can do the same thing with one page of your writing in the exact same way. That is why it's not about inspiration, ideas or luck, because in one page I can judge how good a writer you are. People wonder why can editors reject manuscripts or, in this new age, where we're sometimes bypassing editors, how come the readers just put something down after one page when they haven't given it a real shot.

You guys can judge this too. You've read enough, you know enough, you can judge if something is going to work for you pretty quickly. Perhaps not as quickly as most editors can, but you'll know. You'll read a chapter and you'll know if that person is a master, if they're in that medium grade where they've got some good things going on (it's still readable, but they're obviously not a master), or if this is someone's first novel they wrote when they were 12. You can tell all these things. So how do you develop this skill? Practice.

He goes on to note that ideas/inspiration are important, but not the most central part of what makes writing effective.

Many "creative" disciplines like writing, sculpting, and film are more about practiced and skilled craftsmanship than inspiration and ideas, whereas in some other fields, like maths and scientific discovery, breakthroughs really are about inspiration and ideas.
Yes. People really need to be aware of phony "niceness". Attempts to minimize one's concern about people acting out of their self-interest are promoted the most by people who don't want others to suspect that they're acting out of self-interest.

They want you to believe you're paranoid, delusional, manic for considering the possibility that they may not have your best interests at heart. While it's true that skepticism can be taken to an unhealthy extreme, most people are too gullible, not too skeptical.

Ironically, promoting the "everyone is nice, don't worry, nothing can hurt you if you give everything away" perspective is itself evidence that they don't have your best interests at heart. Non-hostile people don't begrudge those who are attempting to practice reasonable due diligence and "deal hygiene". Good deals are good for everyone, and that means that you shouldn't need to worry about how "nice" something is or isn't.

This essay links out to a sister essay about how few business people are "mean". They certainly don't seem mean; conspicuous mean-spiritedness is not an attractive attribute, and you'll have a hard time accumulating power if you exhibit it. On the other hand, you'll also have a hard time accumulating power by being a bleeding heart.

As an investor, pg has an incentive to encourage founders not to worry about how much they're giving away. As a semi-prominent/powerful player in Silicon Valley, he also has a PR image that must be maintained to prevent an undesirable level of scrutiny from either the press or the government.

We should not forget that pg's self-interest is to convince others a) to give things away without thinking about it; and b) to maintain a public persona as a businessman-philanthropist with net social benefit, as opposed to a realistic cynic who used his advantage in wits to excel.
What I'm getting at is, wouldn't you rather go skiing, or hiking, or hanging out with friends or family. Or whatever your thing is.

There's some selection bias at work here. Someone who would answer "Yes" to that question isn't going to grow up to run Uber.
People over-think it -- creativity is simply taking an idea, and making that idea happen. Most people can be creative. The trick is for your creativity to be unique and original.
The "Nazis" in the Charlotteville incident were literally waving Nazi flags, throwing Hitler salutes, and shouting "Heil Trump". I don't think your definition needs to be overbroad to include that.

I get the feeling that this is a really cool story but it's hard to see how any of these events relate to one another.

So your buddy PI slogs through a series of bad 'investigations', and is finally asked to do some work he initially enjoys but later procrastinates on. Wait though! It's all set because, surprise surprise, the as-yet-unmentioned baddie was faking the results all along!

I get the feeling that your last paragraph is supposed to be a stunning wrap up, but after some reflection I've concluded this is only because of the preexisting motif that everything after "and it turned out.." is a galactic burn.

That explains it. Come to the USA, it is the exact opposite.

It's an interesting idea, and I actually hope it's the case that everyone is getting an implied patent license that will hold up in court.

> They are more socialist than capitalist.

No they're not. Production isn't controlled by the public. China doesn't even classic social-democratic policies like free health care, free higher education or a strong welfare system. It's much more a cut-throat proto-capitalist state, which happens to also also a not a democracy.

China is an autocracy, which is a form of government associated with the east block that used to call itself socialist and communist. Socialism is an economic system that China doesn't have.
Solid advice. That's what I do as well.
Grew up poor and depressed, decided to take risks because suicide is always an option. Took on $150k of loans to move out of the Midwest to an art college. Instructors couldn't help, I dropped out and taught myself programming. Flash games, then websites, then an internship. I lied about still being in college. Five years of frugality, study, and weekly depressive episodes before I got my first real job. I burned out quick, the smallest pressure would have me stuck in a depression so deep that I couldn't form thoughts.

My burnout is continuing into year four. Working at a big name company for a year now and haven't written a single line of code. I feel so apart from the team I'm on. Still have periods where I can't think, but now nobody notices when I don't come in, sometimes for weeks at a time. The big salary doesn't count for much when loan payments and city rent take the majority. Haven't seen my family in three years, missed both my grandparents' funerals.

I still think it was the right decision to leave the Midwest, but I wish it didn't take so much sacrifice.

I'm surprised to hear you say that Vue has a large API, because one of my reasons for adopting Vue was its small API. It allowed me to hold a mental model of the API in my head.

You can go through the entire docs in less than an hour and get down to business. I did not have this experience with Angular 1 (don't know about v2) or React.
Ask HN: Anyone need a freelancer/have any work they'd like to subcontract?
Hey HN,

I've been working formally and informally as a
developer for about 3 years now, mostly doing
freelance gigs; my only "proper" job was a long
internship I had last year. Unfortunately, I've
been hit with a temporary roadblock, making it
difficult to go out and chase clients like I
used to since I can't really go into the city
or really leave the house as I used to (have to be
home to look after some young ones), and no one
in my current - albeit limited - pool of clients
is looking to have any work done, so I'm in a bit
of a bind.

I've applied to a couple of remote jobs and tried
looking for clients on Upwork, but it's just been
near-closes and dead-ends for almost a month. I've
also tried the Freelancer/Seeking Freelancer
threads, but so far I haven't gotten any replies;
so I figured I'd see if there was anyone on HN who
perhaps has some overflow work they don't have the
time to handle or is in need of someone to help
reliably implement their idea.

I would say I'm a decent generalist engineer and
work "full-stack" in that I can write well-tested,
maintainable code both on the front and back-end -
or at the very least, I'm a pretty good documentation
reader ;). I've done substantial work in Go, iOS
development(Swift & Obj-C), and front-end
Javascript(React, d3). I also have working knowledge
of server-side JS and Rails, though it would take me
a little while (half a week, maybe) to re-familiarize
myself with their environments. I'm also based in the
NJ/NYC area if that matters.

I'm posting from a temp account because I don't like to
put my details on public forums, but I'm more than happy
to send you my details and resumé privately if you leave
me your email address.

Thanks for reading; let me know if you'd like any more
details

Cheers!
>I can at least remember six template engines' syntax I've learned...

TBH, in 2017, I'm not sure why we're still hand-generating HTML with any template language.

Instead, I'd really like to see a framework that gets away from the idea of HTML templating altogether and presents a true component/properties model on top of a canvas with flexible, property-driven layout options.

I think the intense UI-demands of progressiveness/SPAs expose the unsuitability of HTML for the task. But, simply because HTML is what we're stuck with browser-wise, there's no reason we have to think or work in HTML. Use tooling to abstract it away altogether and let a translator generate it.
Yes, but I'm not sure how the effects are really separable unless someone figures out how to get the PED-enabled training regimen without the PED.

So now the 1% (who own about 35% of wealth as far as I know) would get to write the rules however they like? Sounds fun.

Towards a Unified Programming Language (2000) [pdf]
It's not an issue with vec! - the same problem occurs if I use Vector::new and push. It seems to be a problem with the vector itself, or perhaps indexing.

Besides, it does know the type of vpt in code snippet above - like I said, when I hover about it, it correctly tells me that it's &Point. So it clearly can handle macros, or at least vec! specifically.
Under proof of work you essentially end up "staking" money by buying ASICs/GPUs that take 9-12 months to break even. In general, miners are going to spend almost as much as the block reward, whether that's in hardware and electricity or in opportunity cost. http://www.truthcoin.info/blog/pow-cheapest/

And many people are "hodling" cryptocurrency as a long-term store of value anyway so presumably they aren't concerned with the velocity of money.
You could say the exact same thing about every computer language, but it would miss the forest for the trees.

Certainly from the very beginning, there'll be some subset of the relatively few people who've actually tried a new language who don't like it for some reason or another, or object on legitimate technical grounds (the border between these two types of objections is murky).

As the popularity of the language grows articles are written, starting in the specialized press and (if the language is lucky) ending up even in the popular press, getting even non-technical managers excited and using the newest buzzwords.

With time, the recognition and consciousness of the language's deficiencies become more widespread among a wider portion of the programming population, and articles and discussions of such complaints become more widespread.

In the end, such complaints may become mere truisms, and the majority of the population just parrot the truisms and stereotypes while having only a superficial or even non-existent familiarity with the language that's criticized.

Of course, you could say that such things were going on all along, but it would be missing the broad ebb and flow of language popularity and people's reactions to them.
I could be wrong, but my understanding of some sound cards is that they have essentially a single memory buffer that they are reading from when instructed to play a sound. Most sound cards let the OS split the buffer into two halves and raise an interrupt when one half of the buffer completes playing.

Interrupt prioritization doesn't help much, because the sound data is likely being generated from user mode, and the playback complete interrupt is being handled in kernel mode, which would require a transition back for further processing. When receiving data from a network card, no transfer back to user mode is required and will have implicit priority over sound generation. Therefore, network processing is likely to starve out sound generation barring choices like those described.

(This is somewhat hearsay, corrections welcome :))
I think that putting in just a bit of friction ("activation barrier") is a generally useful technique to make one's actions more conscious and deliberate. Some more examples, off the top of my head:

1. Deciding to use a social media website as a website rather than an app.

2. Using a long password which you have to manually type in every time.

3. Creating a separate browsing profile for a certain category of browsing. Eg: work profile -vs- fun profile

4. Leave the TV remote inside a drawer/shelf rather than just lying around on the couch.

I'm interested in hearing more suggestions!

PS: The counterpoint to this technique is to reduce friction for the things you would like to do more often.
Windows does not really have interrupt priorities IIRC. It kind of sort of have some, but the applicative code (device driver included) can't chose at which level they run their ISR, so its quite random whether or not the ISR you prefer should preempt others.

Plus typically general purpose OSes don't map hw interrupt priorities mechanisms to their own priorities (and very soon the hw interrupt controllers do not even know whether an ISR is running or not). I believe neither Linux nor Windows can benefit from hw assistance for interrupt priorities (and they mainly don't care at sw level anyway)
For dev work machine I use Fedora and Debian. On the server CentOS and Debian and at home some might find it interesting a MacOS ( looking for good laptop with trackpoint to replace Mac Air and get either Fedora or Debian on it ).

I find my dev workflow best on Debian ( probably just used to it ) but lately using Fedora as well. CentOS on the server just because it is available everywhere but where I can I choose Debian for the server due to like already said being familiar most familiar with it.
> While I don't necessarily recommend going through that, I do think everyone should experience what it's like to work 80+ hour weeks (at least for a short period of time), because it's difficult to convey how awful it is.

Interesting idea. Seems similar to what stoicism recommends, from what I understand. I think they say to give up your comforts once in a while so that you appreciate them more. Which seems sensible to me.
Is it true that React Native cannot be integrated with an existing Swift/Obj-C codebase?

For example, say that you want to implement login/register on top of an existing Swift codebase. This is possible, right?

(May not have understood OP correctly.)
Is it not true that a cross platform system necessarily results in an application that is the lowest common denominator in terms of devices? How does React Native work with ARKit for example? How does React Native take full advantage of the hardware if it has to be cross-platform compatible?

The Facebook iOS app is slow, bloated and occasionally glitchy. A company like Facebook seriously doesn’t have the resources to make Android or iOS native applications? Because React isn’t “native.”
Wow, that is fantastic. It was such a tragedy and finding the Indianapolis' resting place is quite a feat. Good job to all those who were involved.
Of course, I am not an MD and I know nothing of medicine, however I think it's not unreasonable to imagine that the sort of episode you describe could have ended with a crippling stroke or even more awful consequences.

If you had ended up permanently blind, or in a chair, would you have had any regrets?
The fact that they can't seem to raise £200M (2013) [1] to build a prototype does seem either troubling about its feasibility OR indicative that something's very wrong with capital markets (or that they're working on traditional military aerospace "we'll get it done in 10 years" pace).

On the other hand, I'm sure harnessing explosions to propel heavier than air craft into orbit also seemed insurmountably technically impossible at one point.

> I see very little in terms of features or problems they solve that distinguishes Java, JavaScript, Go, Scala and C# from each other when it comes to writing Web backends.

So in a way, we agree, as that was my whole point - Go & it's predecessors (ASP, PHP, JS, ...) are mostly only good for Web backends: E.g., literally all Go developers I know personally are either fresh out of college or ex PHP programmers, ASPers and JS hackers, and all work exclusively on web development stuff. (But my sample size is maybe a dozen companies, so that's possibly biased, I agree.)
Probably that he knows it and doesn’t know Swift.
Nope, doesn't help (corrected to Vec<Point>). The only thing that works is annotating the vpt binding itself.

In any case, if you have to annotate all local bindings for completion to work, that's not idiomatic Rust anymore.

Another interesting thing that I've noticed, is that it does know what vpt.x and vpt.y are - when hovering over them, it correctly says that they're i32. So the type inference works as it should. It's specifically completion that is broken here for some unclear reason.
Your site looks amazing. I had a similar story, but I ended up giving up. Far too many failures, and never managed to launch it. And then someone else launched the exact same thing.

I'm glad yours turned out better :)
Nameplate tax rate is basically meaningless.
