Precious metal is a terrible choice because inflation is then determined by the random occurrence of discoveries of new mines and new mining technology.

The federal reserve is a terrible choice because unaccountable bureaucrats with their own agenda are given the power to juice or crash the economy, and they appear to threaten/reward presidents with this power.

Just printing money is a terrible choice because the executive can just run the presses instead of taxing, and thereby cause hyperinflation.

The USA has tried all 3 methods.

The apps you'd have to uninstall/reinstall manually for updated versions but I did still get a few official Samsung updates come through recently so I guess those aren't tied to the Play Store. I think at least one of those reinstalled some of the apps I had removed but other than that it went ok.

I interviewed at Elsevier for their Director of Information Security. The current Director was going back to Comcast, the entire team was from Comcast.

They were pompous, egotistical, and utterly clueless. They asked the all time dumbest questions I've ever been asked in an interview.

The first interview of the day was with the outgoing Director and his two lieutenants. They spent most of the hour explaining how important it is to make the business happy. When I tried to ask questions about their control framework they changed the subject. They deflected every question I asked. I thought about just leaving after the first interview but I stuck it out for the next 3 1 hour interviews.

It took them 6 months to follow up and tell me that they position was filled by an internal candidate
Neat! I wonder how this would compare to the equivalent WASM implementation.

With WASM, you wouldn't need to run the sandboxed code in a separate execution context. And you shouldn't need any OS-specific code to isolate the sandboxed executable. The whole thing would be conceptually simpler; although you'd need to pull in a WASM runtime. The actual code would run a bit slower in order for the WASM VM to do bounds checks and so on. But I think function calls across the WASM boundary would be way faster than the sandboxed IPC bridge that blog post suggests. Also a WASM version would let you build your sandboxed bundle once and run it anywhere, which is neat.

So I get the sense that a WASM version of this would be simpler and more portable but have a different performance profile. Are there other considerations here? It'd be a cool experiment to play with.

On the other hand, the scientific community certainly does not carry out an ongoing switch between JavaScript and Python, as the author percieves in the web world.

Python is an ideal example of a scripting language that got so popular in so many areas that it is hard to say who uses it for what. Pupils use it for getting familiar with programming. Many standard linux distribution tools are written in Python. There is so much beyond web development and scientific applications.
One of the most incongruous anachronisms I've read in sci-fi was in Asimov's Second Foundation, Arkady Darrell is introduced writing in a diary with a device that (IIRC) telepathically reads your mind and converts it to text. She starts daydreaming, and as a result her daydreams are transcribed into the diary. Then she has to start the entry over again because it's ruined.

It's ironic that 50,000 years in the future, when humanity is spread across the Galactic Empire, the future course of history can be predicted based on human psychology, and devices can mind-read to text, that they still hadn't invented word processing. As a kid reading it in the 90s, it was amazing that the main character would be seriously peeved off by something that was a solved problem to me.

It depends a lot on what you're hoping to do. There's a happy medium for a large app between "every component manages their own state/props and those of their children" and "every component is a stateless vessel for VueX data".

I think if you're at the point where "passing data around in props is a nightmare" that's the pain point that VueX is meant to resolve, and it should feed into the solution. But following the principle of "components should manage their state without VueX if it's easy/convenient for them to do so" is a good way to avoid the global state becoming too unwieldy.

I can see that. I've really only worked with a few workloads where this behavior was quite bad. (In particular, the out-of-the-box policy to vacuum when the dead tuple fraction reaches 20% means that for an INSERT-mostly workload with a bit of UPDATE/DELETE, the vacuums get further and further apart and take longer and longer.) In the worst one I've worked on, the effects take several days or weeks to show up, but they degrade system throughput by 50-80% (!) for days or weeks on end.

The experience makes me wonder if the database is designed primarily using short-term, modest-scale workloads (which are much easier to test) and not behavior that only shows up after several weeks of a continuous, heavy workload. It obviously works for a lot of users.

Are you suggesting that someone would sell a product for a lower price than what it costs just because people are poor where he sells it? PPP isn’t magic and you have to understand why some products are cheaper in 3rd world countries and why some products are the same price or even more expensive.

It’s about arbitrage. Just quoting some PPP stat from wikipedia is irrelevent and missing the point.

Why do you think PPP is different in different places? It’s not some magic wand you can just wave around.

You are probably thinking of WML - wireless markup language. A stripped-down version of HTML that let you do webbish things on devices that could never run a "real" web browser. Sites had to write their own WML pages for mobile users to be able at access the site.

Interesting how this is tied to the PostgreSQL business model. Consultancy is how the ecosystem funds development for PG. So they have no real reason to automatically spot performance issues like for instance MongoDB Atlas does. Curious side effect of the business model.

Ask HN: What's the status of Stripe's Ruby type checker?

Increasing your deductible from $1000 to $2000 also eliminates the insurer's claim administrative expenses for claims in the range of, say, $1500 to $2500, since you'll report claims in that range if your deductible is $1000 but not if it's $2000.

But insurers' models are complicated. One factor to consider here is that the population with $1000 deductibles isn't the same as the population with $2000 deductibles. For example, some of the latter group have a higher deductible because they're financially stable enough to afford a $2000 emergency expense, but others have it because they're financially unstable enough to need the cheapest coverage they can get. There's a strong negative correlation between an individual's financial stability and their risk to an insurer, so in net, it wouldn't surprise me if the latter group is riskier on average.

Also, even if raising your deductible reduces your expected claim costs by more than a handful of dollars per year, insurers in most of the US aren't required to pass that savings on to you - they can price coverage based on your willingness to pay (see [0] and [1]). On the bright side, auto insurance is arguably about the closest thing there is to a perfectly competitive market in the US - your insurer has lots of competitors, and if they're overcharging you relative to your risk, it's easy to find a better deal elsewhere.

This does not result in a change of threat model at all. That's what I've been pointing out. It does not protect against anyone at all, nor does it make you more vulnerable to them.

It does not exclude government intervention at all. The government still has the power to compel a change in the code that works with the encryption keys. When that happens, exclusive access to the keys, to put it mildly, won't matter.

If you think differently, let's see you put your actual trust in this process. You keep access to all your encryption keys and passwords, I even promise not to copy them, but you log into your web banking using a web browser I control. Which is the equivalent of the situation discussed here: I control the code interpreting the encryption keys, you control the encryption keys. Depending on your bank's authentication method I may or may not be able to copy the keys, but either way I'll be able to, say, change a bank transfer you make to my liking, which is really the point anyway. So I will transfer a suitable fee for your education, let's say $100, "without access to" your encryption keys to some charity of my choosing. Deal ?

He wasn't just a programmer. He was also a Counter-Strike: Source pro and a legend of the New Zealand CS scene. He was a goalkeeper for the country's national futsal team (indoor-soccer) and won two national titles and a player of the year award. He was a car enthusiast who custom-built a beautiful BMW and won the "Best V8 Engine" award at a show and shine competition. On top of all of that, he was a programmer who founded LazyWorm Apps and developed apps like MetroTube and Tweetro+. According to one of the lead software guys at Microsoft, MetroTube was once the most popular app on the Windows store.

Most importantly, he was a father of a 2-year-old girl.

> You can put your house in an LLC for example so if you are personally sued they can't take it.

If it's a single member LLC, that actually doesn't work in a lot of states (the whole purpose of the way LLC reverse liability protection is to protect the integrity of corporate joint ventures, which are the motivating use case for LLCs), and has either been found by courts are expressly specified by legislatures not to apply to single member LLCs in many states. There are a handful of states where it does apply, though, and others where the rules are unclear.

And even when it does apply, they can't take your house directly, sure, but they can get a charging order against any distribution of funds from the LLC to you that hangs around until you do pay the judgement, so you can't ever extract funds from the LLC. And, sure, you can mitigate the effect of that by just running more of your life through the LLC, but the more you do that, the more you risk the LLC itself being liable, either alone or with you personally, in any legal trouble you get in, in which case the whole purpose is defeated.

Also, LLCs aren't free to set up and maintain, there are fees and additional compliance/tax prep/record-keeping costs. It makes sense if you are wealthy (especially in a particularly SMLLC-friendly jursidiction), but not for most people, even most well-paid workers.

As a Stripe customer processing about USD600K a year through them, I have to say they're an excellent outfit.

Their documentation is very clear. Their email and irc support is smart and responsive, with nary a "I can help you with that today" script recited by an agent to waste my time.

They set and meet expectations about the financial stuff, like how long it takes for transactions to hit the bank, and what happens with disputes and chargebacks and other parts of the world of serving real paying people.

It's not hard to guess that the things in this article are all true.

> A surprisingly large fraction of the new people come from the scientific and numerical processing world, because of modules like SciPy and then Tensorflow. Python is honestly a pretty weird choice for high-throughput numerical processing, but whatever, those libraries exist, so that's where we go. Another triumph of python's easy integration with C modules, I guess. And python 3 is also made with the web in mind, of course.

From what I understand (which, admittedly, isn't that much) those bindings, along with projects like Jupyter, really can't be understated. They really are incredibly high-quality projects.

That being said, I'm honestly surprised to see so little mention of Rails in this article. I would have honestly expected at least an arc from Java and PHP to Ruby, simply because of how its adoption skyrocketed around 2009.

I think you are mixing up loneliness and shyness. Loneliness can cause shyness and the other way around, but they are not the same thing.

Loneliness can be forced on you. I personally moved and since some girls at the new school decided (in the locker room) that I was lesbian, folks stopped talking to me. I found a very small group of friends the next year at high school.

These girls were half correct in their assessment, but that was no reason for the entirety of a school to decide I wasn't worth talking to.

Seriously, loneliness is awful. I should mention that I had no issues asking folks out later in life (when I became interested in such things).

This sort of thing might have been more common pre-internet times. The internet made me less lonely because I found folks I liked to talk to.
