Let's see how permanent the permanent wealth turns out to be. They seem to manage it better than other countries, but who knows, maybe on a long timeline, they are only spending it slower.
I hope not, but so far, there have been so few examples of long term great management, that it's more likely it will end badly.
They have a few benefits that imply it might work: culture of not showing off wealth; small population; well working justice system that should deal with corruption.

Hi Dave,
Kudos for sharing what you experienced. I actually completed a year working on https://shareseer.com on thanksgiving day. It is a side project. I have found shipping whenever a small milestone is hit to work for me. Another trick i use is to keep a backlog of items that need to be done, which brings me back to work on it. Thirdly I really care about the problem. Fourth an d finally I realized distribution is a vastly harder problem than product. Getting people to use what you build is the core of whether the product succeeds or not.
A cow release on the order of 100 kg of methane per year. Natural gas costs about 1 dollar per 2 kg of methane.

I don't know how hard methane extraction is from air with ppm concentrations of it, but could it be done for less than about 50 dollars per year per head of cattle?

It is phenomenal to see such a movement sprout up, as if a chunk of society decided to just give up. I couldn't imagine a serious, equivalent movement on the same scale for alcoholism and cigarette smoking, to cite a few examples. Yet the abuse of food is going to (or is already) cost us far more.
Nice summary. For example buying an iPhone in Turkey is harder than buying a car in UK in terms of an avarage middle class person's monthly income.

> What I actually care most about a file manager is how they perform on mounts with low IOPS

Purely technical questions (let's put `being very snarky` and `dishonesty` and my other irrelevant personal traits aside):

- How does "low IOPS" affect readdir()/scandir() and lstat64() in two C utilities differently?

- What else would be affected?
I'll agree it depends on location. I'm comparing vancouver to other small towns in bc where i've lived.

And after thinking a little more on things i'm not too sure how I really feel now. Before I moved to the city I had a decent group of friends I was close with and I.knew enough people I could usually find someone to talk to or hang out with.

In the city i've met lots of different people, some i've gotten fairly close with then drifted apart from, others that I still feel close with nut don't see or talk to very often but never really friends like I had before or that feeling of knowing the people around.

But, after you mention the stuff about talking to cashiers or other people I started to think about all the people I do actually know and talk to on a regular basis, who's lives I know a fair bit about and there's lots of them. Just about every store or coffee shop or similar place I go regularly there's people I know fairly well and have conversations with. There's people on the bus I see most days i'll sit and talk with, and I even end up talking with random strangers a fair bit.

But they still just come and go, they're not really friends i've never really felt since i've lived out here that there were people I could just call up or that I knew would just be around.

I'm sorry I'm not sure where i'm going with this. This all has just made me think a lot about different things and people from over the years.
No. You can do it for some applications, one at a time, but not all, and upgrades sometimes don't remember the settings. Wine apps and other nonstandard apps cannot be added at all. Really sucks.
So more like a software "engineer" ?
I don't see how server-side rendering is causing more work? It's less work, since you don't have a dependency on a front-end framework.

Server-side rendering is my default go-to - IMO, this works very well for the majority of needs.

I only bust out a front-end framework if the app is sufficiently complex that it can justify the extra work.
There is a point that is often glossed over in these analysis- the rental stock and the ownership stock are often fundamentally different. Last time my family moved we weren’t opposed to renting, but there was something like 1/10 the number of available SFH rental units in the area we were looking compared to available SFH rental units.

In the US at least I think there is a case to be made that this is due to the UNDER financialization of housing- if you own a home at want/need to move it is difficult for most families to do anything but sell their current home in order to qualify for a mortgage. This suppresses the rental stock even when it is financially reasonable to rent out a house versus selling. (Yes, there are companies buying SFH housing to let out, but they seem small compared to the overall market right now)
how does your worthiness to repay a loan equate to a social eating system? your statements seem to say that those with a history of an inability to pay loans back should continue to get loans and screw the originator? also which jobs can you not get because of bad credit? i’ve personally never seen or heard of one
I used to live in Montana, on the outskirts of a small town. There were few enough people around that it was trivially easy to take 10 minutes getting even further out of town and find yourself at a trailhead that hadn't been used in months.

My point is that if you did wind up seeing someone else, it made you happy in a way that just doesn't happen when you live in a more densely-populated area. And this coming from someone who is in general a rather reclusive introvert. But it was a good feeling to live at such a density that seeing other folks was essentially always a positive.

An undermentioned issue is that a robot can provide privacy (or perhaps only the semblance of it but still). My mother has talked about in-home care and she would prefer a machine because she doesn't want someone in her home: really she doesn't want to feel dependent. It isn't demeaning to her to have a machine take care of things for her but to have a person do so would feel bad.

Machines can't do everything but people can't either.
I have used perl in lot of projects many years a ago and personally I was a big fan of it. I used perl to do lot of flat file and log processing, also had fun time building CGI based apps too. But I guess perl didn't transitioned from v5 to v6 fast enough and now lot of other programming languages have taken over.
You ask for others to provide sources to back up their comments, but don't provide any of your own.
YMMV. I got to know my neighbors in my 5-unit building in NYC, as well as the owners/managers of the restaurants and shops next door. The advantage the city has over suburbia is the density. I don’t have to get in a car to see any of my neighbors, we’re more or less forced to see each other on any given walk.
I don’t think the poster is forgetting anything, just pointing out that the amount of money going into the housing market and bidding up house prices is directly based on interest rates.
I'm not talking about equality, but rather equitablity - the system should be fairer than it is, meaning people ought to be compensated fairly for the value they contribute to the system, the issue is, they're not.

My beliefs on sharing the pie are summed up by the following quote "life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement" the issue is, we've systematically deprived those of lower ability of paths to opportunity, and deprived those who do succeed of their fair share of the pie.

I couldn't keep reading after this. First of all, hyperbole much? More importantly, can such problems be assumed to be what the author seems to be suggesting as microaggressions, or is programming just really hard and fraught with problems?

I wouldn't describe the cliche post-highschool hard left swing of someone with a sheltered upbringing as "broadening".

I don't mean to be too dismissive, but I spent enough time in a university town after my own graduation to see this trajectory play out a number of times. Kids come in, and adopt a new set of ideas that suit their new environment just as blindly as they adopted ideas compatible with their previous environment.

Before I make it sound too much like I'm painting with a broad brush, I expect people's political positions to change around this time. There is a difference between a position someone can articulate from their first principles, and someone that sounds like they're repeating the media they picked those positions up from. I'd rather have a productive disagreement than talk to someone I agree with that can't show their thought process.

Eventually they might have their mind broadened. But it's not guaranteed. And if they discover pot when they got to the university and/or internalize their change of heart as a 2nd rebellion against their parents, it'll take a few extra years.

It's not zero-sum, the carbon taken out of the atmosphere in the form of CO2 to make the feed is partly put back in the form of methane, which is a stronger greenhouse gas than CO2. This means a cow is a net greenhouse gas producer.

The half-life is not that long but not very short either, 10 years, but the lifetime is completely irrelevant: as long as we keep emitting the gas, the levels will stay the same or rise.

This is true: oils that have undergone full hydrogenation become saturated fats, because the carbon double bonds break and bond and with excess hydrogen until the fatty acid is fully saturated. The cis/trans distinction affects the double bonds, which no longer exist once the molecule is saturated.

On the other hand, advocacy about the likely adverse health effects of saturated fats has been commonplace for a lot longer than the awareness of trans fats. This, together with likely consumer confusion about terms like "partially hydrogenated" vs. [fully] "hydrogenated", and the unwieldiness of using a solid-at-room-temp fat in a blend all add up to reasons why it's probably easier to use palm oil.

So far, coconut oil and palm oil have largely managed to avoid being caught up in the conversation about saturated fats. Marketing and market positioning undoubtedly plays a key role. The other is nutrition as a field of study and a topic of conversation: rigor is hard to achieve, conflict of interest is everywhere, advice is a mix of unhelpful and conflicting, and pop publications do even more disservice by repeating soundbites without caveats and context. In a few years, the next 'awakening' -- helped by the awful environmental and social justice of tropical oils -- will probably purge coconut oil and palm oil from manufactured foods in some countries, and we'll migrate to some other inconvenient tradeoff whose true consequences will become widely known only much much later, all the while the public is pleased that they precipitated positive change.
The article shows a confusion between training (committing things to muscle memory, or to visual patterns that can be recognized or executed) and teaching (a deeper understanding of a thing). Training is always more testable than teaching, yet for the most part the things we test people on (e.g. multiplication of small numbers, solving quadratic equations) are only evidence that something like mathematical skill and understanding is building up rather than the desired thing itself.

Rote memorization is a skill that's quite useful, but it's only one skill among many others that people should take away from school or university. And just as it's wrong to dismiss certain teaching as "just" rote memorization (e.g. knowing vocabulary in a foreign language) it's also wrong to just omit the teaching part altogether and train people to do well on standardized tests.

Raspbian defaults to being discoverable by bonjour so you can just `ssh pi@raspberrypi.local` and then modify the wifi config file (`/etc/network/interfaces`). You can script this bootstrap process pretty easily using Ansible etc. Downside is you do have to have a machine on the same ethernet network as the rpi for a short time. So fewer "cool project" points but ends up being quite simple.

I think the discussion so far, while interesting, is tangential to the point the article is trying to make. The point is that supply of housing isn’t the only thing affecting house prices. If you view houses as financial assets with varying value, it’s the supply of financial assets that matters, not just the supply of houses. Or am I missing the point?

Tread carefully. Implement such a policy naively and you end up with the American dream: everyone tied to mortgages they can’t afford.

Of course the core problem is treating affordability as merely a function of access to loans, without accounting for second / higher order effects.

You’re clearly not proposing that, but it is of course an easy trap for a society to fall into

One who takes offense to the phrase "Tell me about yourself" does not have the ability to function as a member of society.

Actually what he said was he knew memory was a problem but it is designed for a different use case. The key part being the bit you’ve conveniently left off.

Your comments come across as very arrogant (particularly considering you’ve not reviewed the other projects source code) and intentionally deceptive too. While I’m normally the first to defend open source developers - because I know first hand how thankless it can be at times - you’re doing exactly to others as you ask not to be done to yourself. Which is not fair at all.

Anyhow, this is all a sorry distraction away from what should have been the real point of this HN submission; and I’m angry at myself for allowing myself to get dragged into this whole sorry affair. so I’m going to log off HN for the rest of the day to avoid any further temptation.

I do sincerely wish you the best with this and your other projects. It should be the code that speaks for itself rather than any other politics and that’s not been the case here for either your project nor the others it has been compared against. But let’s move on and get back to writing code :)
Effectively: as long as people need to borrow money to buy a house, housing prices will be high because instead of buying a house, that house has to make someone money. And that someone isn't even you.
IMO homes should not be considered productivr capital. Farms are, as one example.

A home sits there and looks pretty (maybe), slowly losing real value. Of course, w/ an increasing population amd limited supply it accrues nominal value (and “real” value in the investment sense).

Yet compared to owning shares in an actual productive company, it’s a very poor value proposition.
The point of a carbon tax is to fund and/or incentivize research into non-carbon energy production, or carbon removal technology. If you just offset other taxes, for a tax-neutral result, then there's no (macro) tax incentive so how does that happen?
Type-II diabetes isn't caused just from being fat anyone can develop it. I have active, skinny, vegetable eating relatives with type-II diabetes. I avoided diabetes so far but I have hypothyroidism, you could say it's a related cousin disease in the endocrine family.

Endocrine system diseases need to be researched more and the general public needs more education on it. Sugar doesn't cause Type-I or Type-II diabetes as it seems many on the Internet believe. And being fat isn't the only way to develop Type II diabetes.

And as my mother says, "I'm not a diabetic, I'm a person who has a disease called diabetes."
It’s not possible to prove a negative. Do you want a quote from Tim Cook?

Says you (and say them).

Yes, that's exactly it. With proprietary software I have no idea what my device is doing. Maybe they're spying on me! Maybe they aren't! Who knows!

The reasoning behind the people that say "Apple respects privacy" is always "because they say so".
