Goto requires the fail block to be in the same frame. It can be a working error strategy for failing critical errors in such a way from a failing module. You have to be aware that lots of stuff is prone to leak (which can be avoided by i.e. using some memory arena) and locks/mutexes/... might be in unclear state, so code has to be aware of that.

There is a penalty for assuming the future will always have value you’ll be able to extract.

I bootstrapped my business through Instagram influencers. You have to be extremely targetted around the audience. When judging if an influencer is worth working with, figure out who their audience is and the nature of that interaction.

For example, Imagine I sell an awesome new cat toy for helping shy cats be more social. I don't want to find the cat pages with millions of followers. I want to find the cat expert person who helps their small group of followers deal with their shy cats.

Micro-influencers also work really well. If you can get a person to talk about a product to their group of friends, the ROI is usually much higher than these giant pages. You just have to have a lot of them.

> The presiding QC judge, Alastair Campbell, deemed a ha-ha wall to be outside the scope of the law regarding obvious dangers, such as cliffs or canals, where an occupier is not required to take precautions against a person being injured. This was due to it being an unusual man-made feature that the public would be very much unaware of, especially across a wide lawn.

which I find an odd decision. I didn't know what they were called (so I followed the link curiously) but certainly I'd expect one at a house such as that. Unusual for the average dwelling, sure, but not 'across a wide lawn' or at a property with a wide lawn for it to be across.
I picked up python in 2018, and really enjoyed that, so I think I’ll be sinking some time into getting my python skills on par with my C# skills.

There aren’t many Python jobs around here, but there are some. Not that I’m currently looking, but the next time I am, it would be nice to work with a language I actually like.

There's very little net gain to changes in GUI. Most of the fundamental metaphors actually date from the MoaD, December of 1968, fifty-one years ago this year.

Actually, that still has capabilities lacking from "modern" GUIs.

I watch "normal" computer users struggling to keep up with even very modest changes to MacOS UIs. Which, for the record, are remarkably consistent with the first iteration, deployed in 2001, eighteen years ago. It's older now than the Classic Mac interface was when OS X was introduced (1984 - 2001: 17 years).
Interesting list. I wouldn't be too fond of my Gemini crew mate who brought the corned beef sandwich.

What was special about the Apollo 15 postal covers, and relevant to the OP, was that the crew accepted monetary compensation to transport them without informing NASA officials. This was where the legality debate came into play.

As for "postal covers" [1], I had to look it up, too. I always thought that they brought collectable stamps.

Funny way of saying "too error-prone for anyone sane to consider using".
Keto (and a lack of surprise) came to my mind when I read the title too, but your point is important for anyone learning about the ketogenic diet - keto is a binary state, you're either in it or you're not (and you can do a urine test at home to tell).

There are still benefits to cutting carbs without going full keto, but not because you'll be '50% keto' or anything, just because there are other health improvements from lowering carbohydrate intake other than possible ketosis.
Vilifying the poor is part of the divide and conquer strategy of the ultra wealthy. They rely on us having a enemy other than them.
The in-game economy of WoW is "real" (only vendor prices are set; there's an auction house where prices are set by the players), but Blizzard has to come up with new stuff for players to burn gold with to control the predictable inflation.

To me the most blatant examples are mounts; in the last expansion they added a mount that costed 2M gold[]--when I thought it was crazy and that they couldn't possibly outmatch it, they came up with a 5M gold mount[] that was released in the next (current) expansion.

This is because banks lend against their deposit value (in many multiples).

So if you give them $1, the bank can now lend $5 (without actually having it) and then make many times that $5 in interest.

So sure, they will pay you a little, so they can make a lot.

At least that's how it works today.
I’m well aware of how banks work. See my second to last sentence in which I describe how the price of storing money in a bank is set and why it can be negative.

Banks are definitely storing money. They’re just not storing physical currency. They mostly store money in various financial instruments such as loans, which provides them with some revenue. If that revenue is sufficiently high, they can make all their money this way and set a negative price for their money storage services. But there’s no natural law that says the revenue potential must be that high.
Well either something has gone wrong with the money-lending part, so it's not making enough money to pay interest... or there's a terrible lack in competition and banks are keeping all the profits.

It would be nice to blame the latter but there seems to be evidence toward the former.
I disagree, but regardless, this sounds more like a comment for Reddit instead of HN. Better yet, rather than criticising my interpretation, you could go find examples of better comments and enjoy reading them at your leisure. Or you could even come up with your own and add them to the HN page.

The concept of property is predicated on the existence of government, and we've just completed the circle.

"Wherever there is great property there is great inequality. For one very rich man there must be at least five hundred poor, and the affluence of the few supposes the indigence of the many. The affluence of the rich excites the indignation of the poor, who are often both driven by want, and prompted by envy, to invade his possessions. It is only under the shelter of the civil magistrate that the owner of that valuable property, which is acquired by the labour of many years, or perhaps of many successive generations, can sleep a single night in security. He is at all times surrounded by unknown enemies, whom, though he never provoked, he can never appease, and from whose injustice he can be protected only by the powerful arm of the civil magistrate continually held up to chastise it. The acquisition of valuable and extensive property, therefore, necessarily requires the establishment of civil government. Where there is no property, or at least none that exceeds the value of two or three days labour, civil government is not so necessary.

Civil government supposes a certain subordination. But as the necessity of civil government gradually grows up with the acquisition of valuable property, so the principal causes which naturally introduce subordination gradually grow up with the growth of that valuable property. "

> The commutes in New York are far longer too, because of public transit.

Are you saying that no public transit would improve the commute times? I think you are discounting all the cars that would take their space cause people can no longer commute without them. And what of the reduction of mobility for the low income group?

The problem is not public transit, it is population density and too many vehicles on the road. NY needs better public transit, not lesser public transit. It's a problem that all cities are trying to solve. As infeasible as public transit overhaul in NY is, making a highway in NY is more difficult.

Step 1: Read the comments of their post. Get an idea of the nature of the interaction.

Yeah, it needs a better design. The trouble is, you need to make it easier, while retaining the features of this one: no way for bystanders (including kids) to pinch fingers/hands inside moving machinery.

23% is remarkably little considering compound interest and the marginal utility of money. It sounds a little bit like the old nugget, "how much money do you need to retire?" and the answer is always "a little bit more than I have".
You’re the second reply who seems to think that I have no idea how banks actually work or why they can often pay interest. Did you just skip my second paragraph, or what’s the deal?
If you have read Richard Henry Dana, "Two Years Before the Mast", much of life in California used to revolve around the processing and trade of hides, in fact seemingly in many places that was the only activity going on. How the times have changed.
For sake of argument, I'd argue that most innovations in textiles since automated weaving have been steps backwards in the name of cost. The only fabrics that I can think of that are clear improvements over natural alternatives are ballistic nylon, kevlar, nomex, elastic, and maybe synthetic fleece (although I'd still argue that boiled wool is a superior alternative).

I guess it just seems to me that a lot of the "innovation" is really just sacrificing quality in the name of price.
I'm not sure if I'd phrase it in terms of something missing from OCAML (or F# for that matter).

There's a substantial diff between OCAML and F# at this point, once you get past "core" programming with functions in both languages. Some of the more prominent things F# has that

* Computation Expressions

* Perf abstractions and compiler analysis for them, namely Span<'T>

* Type Providers

* The .NET generics system

* Anonymous Records

* Slices and ranges for slicing or generating list-like data

And as the parent user said, there's plenty OCAML offers that is missing from F#. I think it's a good idea to consider them quite differently, despite having the same functional core.
It's a multiplicative effect. Spend a few hours setting it up just right for your own workflow, and it tightens up your productivity going forward.

It may not be by 30-40% as some people claim, but even at 1% that's around 20 hours in a year assuming a light schedule (40 hours a week 48 weeks a year).
+1. I feel like I consume less (a healthier amount) overall when I consume nuts, fruit and cheese as snacks versus high carb foods, even tho nuts and cheese are quite calorie dense. I just don't find myself feeling hungry again as quickly. I haven't been logging my food recently but I definitely feel better. Same with vegetables and meat vs, say, pasta.

I think it depends on a type of question asked.

It’s not so different from when your company provides a perk that you expect not to see again.

If the perk saves you money, you put that money in savings. Once your budget expands to depend on that perk you are trapped, and when it goes away the pain will be noteworthy.

In words that are more applicable to a business case: You have to have a strategy for when the Too Good To Be True situation ends, because it will, and you have less control over when than you think you do.

That is demonstrably incorrect. My first post advocates for benefits that might be found in a discussion without using specific verbiage.
I've had this experience earlier this year. It's great, and I too mention it when I can. For me, it's often a nicer alternative in cases I might otherwise consider SQL in some way. My only complaint is aggregate functions are harder to use.

That would be one of the pillars. The investors. The link of obligation being the contract of ownership.

The links to the other pillars being the contract of purchase (customers) and the contract of employment (employees).

I guess social institutions have just one pillar (the customers).
What? Nobody is talking about turning the clock back. I honestly can't fathom where you are arguing from here. Your response comes across as the king of all strawmen. Go reread my second question. Standard of living is better now than 40 years ago. I don't know why you are assuming I think anything else. The point is to ask whether or not that increase in standard of living was at a rate that mirrors the increase in productivity. Just because things are better doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement.
'No other storage service works this way. I can’t put a bunch of furniture in a warehouse and not only pay nothing, but receive a percentage of the value each month.'

The distinction is that your savings in a "storage" scenario are yours exclusively. That is not how it actually works. Banks lend out your "stored furniture" to get a return. Due to fractional reserve lending and the fungibility of currency, the illusion of you being able to receive your stored furniture back is preserved.

But there is never actually a scenario where there are truly idle resources--capital is always utilized at some ratio, and that ratio is independent of consumer behavior. The bank is investing on behalf of their customers.

As banks can only invest based upon the deposits of their customers, I think it is actually extremely unreasonable for customers to have to pay for the privilege in the form of a negative interest rate. That's not "natural" either. Guaranteed checked deposits is the only reason that this swindle can occur.

Confirming as a Pole.
Why is there some bureaucrat in an office deciding how much my money gains or loses today?

How else would interest rates be set? If you want your money to grow all by itself just because you deposited in an account with an interest rate, how does that interest rate get decided if not by someone in an office? Someone, in an office, whatever tools they use to decide, has to make that decision, surely.
The point of the article is not that teaching phonics is necessary but that the three-cueing system is detrimental to children learning to read. Phonics is a better system.

The article makes the explicit point that significant percentages of children can learn to read despite being sabotaged by a bad learning system. (In part because some students figured out how to spell words out phonetically in their own.)

The formal phonics system might be recent, but the phonetic nature of our writing system is ancient.
Other than needing to safely store your gold somewhere. I'm guessing there's probably also some insurance you could get to protect against loss? With a bank these are generally "free" with laws that protect deposits.
I like most food and am also not able to stop eating meat. It's just too nice. We have cut our consumption a lot though.

> I dont have [social network] cause why the fuck I would?

Because you have friends, family, and former coworkers in far away places that you enjoy keeping in touch with. It's one thing to write them an email or letter regularly, but it's also nice to open the app and see a random picture of your nephew at the zoo or see a pic from an office birthday gathering or maybe a short clip of a former coworker playing their new guitar. It's a low friction, low effort way to stay connected and it generates happiness.

A system cannot switch the service type to "prevent DDoS from spoofed IP packets" though.

The authors are not arguing against packet switching; they're questioning whether point-to-point still applies when a majority of the Internet is used for accessing content.

Californians can buy cheap rocket parts from Alabama without worrying about exchange rate risk just as Germans can buy cheap olive oil from Greece.

However fiscal transfers between the two states (I.e. taxes -> welfare payments, labor standards etc) mean that the cheaper goods are more likely to be up to standards and that Alabamans can buy California almonds and Roku boxes. (This is one way cutting welfare hurts capitalism). The EU has no such fiscal mechanism thus the process drifts out of a crisis.

Germany’s Länderausgleich is actually more extensive than the US’s, which has made its economy so strong for so long, yet the country is loath to extend its benefits (much of which would flow back to Germany!) to the rest of the EU.

I read your second paragraph.

There is almost a zero-cost to storing the money and as the account size grows the cost to transact on this account per dollar of storage also approaches zero.

Meanwhile the lending power of the bank multiples by large whole numbers.

They aren't storing your bills or gold coins.

To be fair, Ultima Online’s economy was tanked by the innovation of bard/tamers and the Trammel ruleset introduced in Renaissance.

I assume cows are mostly raised and slaughtered for their meat, with leather as just a sort of bonus. That would mean that the supply is extremely inelastic: farmers won’t raise and slaughter noticeably fewer cows just because leather prices drop a lot, or more cows just because they jump a lot. That would imply that a small swing in demand could result in large changes in price.
I wonder how much of this is because of the increase in cheaper faux leather, maybe even also combined with inflation, you may be paying the same numerical amount for poly leather as you did for genuine leather 20 years ago.

Also I guess if a company can cut costs by using the improved poly leather and the consumer doesn’t notice or care then that’s the move.
Germans are huge penny pinchers (and why not?). When Walmart tried to take on Germany and offered free bags as they do in the US, German shoppers were convinced that Walmart’s prices must be higher to support such an extravagance.

It should be no surprise that Aldi and Lidl are German companies.
What purpose would that home serve? Is there demand for it or it will just suppress housing prices by increasing supply?

I've been diving into this operating systems course https://classroom.udacity.com/courses/ud923/ in my free time,

Earlier this year I embarked on a project to help me learn how CPUs work, I ended up implementing simulator for a simple CPU from the "But how do it know?" book - I have a blog post about it if anyone is interested.

Since then I've been dabbling with learning about RISCV, but it's been slow progress.
