One thing I like about the HN crowd is that they’re typically data people, who can probably add up in their heads how much a $4 latte a day for 10 years equals, and what that same return would look like if invested in the S&P 500.

Most people won’t come to the conclusion to invest $4 a day in an index, but might instead buy a nice espresso machine to make the drink at home because they know exactly when the payoff date is. A successful person probably won’t stop drinking lattes, but they’ll change their habits, which is often very hard in practice.

Being successful in finances is about being disciplined, not necessarily about living a spartan lifestyle. Often times that means trading comfort and convenience for something else (money) and I’d wager that mental trade is a winnowing fork for people who will have very different life outcomes.

This is probably related to the AGESA blob which sets up the power and frequency controls. These come from AMD, and as long as your vendor is reasonably prompt, you should be ok. When other vendors update for AGESA, they'll include that in the notes, so you can pester your vendor for an update.

I do agree. But here's one sentence from that article:

The quality of their "budgeting" is self-explanatory.
As you can see from the winning words 30–50+ years ago, the Bee used to be a vocabulary contest among average people.

Haskell's type classes made sense to me when I asked myself why Haskell needed them and thought that if it didn't have them, you could end up writing almost exactly the same function a dozen times just with different type parameters.

The article compares median incomes to median rents. If the median income is tracking the median rent, it’s mathematically impossible for median rent to be outpacing median income in a majority of places.

Your estimation of the rent and income is off. The median household income in Louisville is $57,000. The Bay Area is $97,000, only 50% higher. But the median 1BR in Louisville is $750, while the Bay Area is close to $3,000, four times as much. Four times higher rent, only 50% higher income. Housing is even worse. The median house price in Louisville is $165,000. (That’ll buy you a 2,000 square feet house.) In the Bay Area it’s $800,000, almost five times higher.

I beg to differ. Having run LIRs and with friends at RIRs I know for certain that many large IPv4 allocation requests were justified on the basis of needing separate addresses for websites. Policy may be tighter now than it’s ever been, but the lack of aggregation due to well-known-port fixation drove and continues to drive unnecessary assignments.
The point of punitive tariffs isn’t to make money, but to punish.

No, she was from a small southern town. She wasn't trying to pronounce the final vowel, just the final g. But it's impossible to say a full g without a small uh sound.

It was slight, like a pop. The irony is, she tried so hard to say the g without making too much of it, that she often removed its voice. The unvoiced g is k. So, most of the time she ended up saying goink.

It's an old joke, but relevant to the discussion:

Woman: Do you drink beer?

Man: Yes

Woman: How many beers a day?

Man: Usually about 3

Woman: How much do you pay per beer?

Man: $5.00, including tip

Woman: And how long have you been drinking?

Man: About 20 years, I suppose.

Woman: So a beer costs $5 and you have 3 beers a day, which puts your spending each month at $450, or $5400 annually. Not accounting for inflation, you have spent $108,000 in the last 20 years! That money could've been put into an investment account and, after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you would now have enough money to buy a Ferrari.

Man: Do you drink beer?

Woman: No

Man: Where’s your Ferrari?
> That’s not true. (howmuch.net map)

I assume their methodology is technically mathematically correct, but I can tell you from experience, the ~"$45k/yr" number for Michigan is not accurate -- most people can not close on a home in livable condition (in a city with jobs) for that salary. That would require a closing price of only ~$120k, which is probably still possible in a few specific suburb/exurbs, and is easily possible in dying small towns, but is not happening for most people in any employable urban area in Michigan.

If howmuch is using "average home closing price" for that calculation, that metric is very skewed -- in Michigan, that's dragged down artificially low by investor-purchase shenanigans, extreme abuse of Brownfield Tax credits or Income/Property Tax Abatement zones, Land Bank purchases and resales, "Just $1 in Detroit" homes that need $150k+ of work to be habitable, or have $50k of backowed-taxes attached to them, and more.

We have people who make 50% more than median salary, who are still getting outbid by private equity firms that make all-cash zero-contingency offers. We have people with above-median salary who are struggling with housing insecurity. This is not just a "poor person" problem, a solid chunk of the middle-class are suffering here, even in our supposedly "low-cost-of-living" markets.

If you haven't purchased a house in the last 4 years, you might not realize just how fundamentally broken housing is, even in bumblefudge nowhere midwest cities. As far as I can tell, our conventional housing metrics simply are not accurately capturing the size or severity of this problem.
Maybe someone should write a more modern version of the article, I don't know.

I would also not expect it to pessimize code generation, since the final dereference should always be of a non-volatile pointer, though I suppose an optimizer bug might make it behave otherwise.

You can combine it with atomic, they're not substitutes. It could let you implement two versions of an algorithm: a lock-free multithreaded one, along with a single-threaded one that uses relaxed accesses (or even fully non-atomic accesses, had C++ allowed that). And then you'd auto-dispatch on the volatile modifier. The possibilities are really endless; I'm sure the limiting factor here is our imagination.

I've thought about the other types of split for a long time too, and I haven't managed to come up with other compelling use cases, even though I also feel they should exist. It would be interesting if someone could come up with one, because the ability to have commutative tags on a type seems really powerful.

So many people don't have the ability to study astronomy or start a company. Most Americans can't even afford a $500 surprise bill[0]. There's a lot for many people to escape these days, and the ability to be entrepreneurial is in itself a privilege that many simply don't have.

I also find it somewhat ironic that you question the purpose of this form of entertainment created specifically by a company by suggesting that someone's time is perhaps better spent starting a company. This form of escapism exists because a company made it possible for people to escape.

Clearly, you wonder if something is a bit crazy with these games, but have you ever wondered if the companies behind them actually provide value to their workers or customers? Starting a company isn't always a possibility or solution to people's problems, and not all companies provide value to society. In fact, some actively extract value from society.

If the library is crucial to what you are making it is worthwhile to consider rolling your own. Not because it will be better but in the process you will understand the problem in a way that you otherwise cannot.

Libraries also tend to be general purpose so up to half of the code in a library may not be pertinent to your usage.

I wrote an app that used a lot of Oauth and ended up writing my own instead of using the excellent Passport library. It would have been easier to use that, but I gained an understanding of Oauth that I would not otherwise have, and my code is small, understandable and easy for me to maintain and modify. Just my 3 cents worth.

i suppose you mean non-"fiction book" or non-book fiction. took me a moment to read that correctly.

i agree. fortunately, for myself, when i made that experience i realized how much of a waste of time it could be, and i paid attention to that ever since. (always planning and deliberately choosing what to watch on tv, or read, etc) i don't get motivated by points in a game but by experiencing adventures, solving puzzles, etc. these things can be valuable (engaging your brain away from work, etc)

The latte argument (popularized by that other writer) completely ignores the fact that buying and drinking a latte (or money spent on any entertainment, travel etc) provides in theory an uplift in someone's day which may actually have a long term benefit. In happiness, interactions with other people, mood and so on. (Note I say some not all people).

Also it's never a good idea to assume that something that is not important to you personally (or that you can forgo) is the same to someone else. This argument even comes up with respect to the number of hours someone works. Some people love to push this idea that 'you have to relax and take time off' as if everyone feels the same way and does not like to work like a 'workaholic'.
>If the system is working properly, you should mostly be able to accumulate wealth only if you provide value to everyone else

This is somewhat devil's advocate-ey, but what's to stop someone living off social benefits and accruing EVE online wealth? (Low ohysical standard of living/prestige, high virtual prestige)

Modern MMO's aren't good enough to replace the real world- yet. When they are, some subset of the population will pop on their VR machines, plug in the feeding tubes, and that's it. Unless you want to get rid of social benefits/make social benefits actually dependent on trying to get a job, you can't really stop people doing this.

Researchers make zero direct money from publications. Yes, they are paid a stipend or salary to publish results, but by their University or Institute, not by Elsevier. I've published dozens of papers over my career. I have no direct access to any of them, save Sci-Hub or "authors' copies" I've saved. Of course, I could always pay the fee, ranging from $40-$110 on up , for a copy I would still be unable to legally distribute. Elsevier, Springer, et al., are the true pirates here.
