The reason Turkey has to borrow in someone else's currency is that their own currency doesn't have the credibility it needs to support low interest rates, so if they want to borrow at affordable rates to boost their economy, they need to use foreign currency.

If the US keeps up the deficit spending, it will either need to pay a huge amount of money on debt service, or it needs to monetize its debt - which means credibility will be lost and new debt will be more expensive.

Either way, it's not a free lunch.
Worked with a bunch of Orthodox guys at an older job. Christianity, including Catholicism, tends to talk about the "spirit" of the rules. After all, most Christians ignore a huge swathe of very clear, very explicit rules in the Bible. Like eating pork, which you can't get much clearer than how it's stated in the Bible.

Orthodox Jews aren't like that. The book is the word of their deity. What is written is the law. The spirit doesn't come into it. If the deity didn't want you working around it, he'd have written that into the law.

Those have been some of the best interviews in my experience. I've also never been disappointed by the leadership or management of my soon-to-be boss when they demonstrated in an interview that they had the emotional intelligence to make a hiring call based on a mature discussion (like oh, I don't know, almost every other industry) rather than demanding a few hours of monkey tricks in Leetcode to convince them.

Yes, of course. Why would you build a database in JS?

And does gmail not work well for you?

Most of us are only using JavaScript because that's the only way to build browser applications (or compile-to-JS languages, which still require an understanding of JS or you'll run into problems).

In any case, I don't particularly like JS, so your dig fell short. But JS is necessary for many of us.
Because all the promises are waiting on `fileSize`, right?

But do you mean that JS 1. will read `totalSize` then 2. do the asynchronous call, then 3. add and set? Seems like it's ambiguous and JS could just as easily read `totalSize` after the call, and all would be OK.

Or is the ordering specified?

Thanks for this clever example!

Text-to-911 Caught in Life-or-Death Battle Between NYPD and Tech Agency
All true, but the original Watch brought over $1 billion in revenue in its quarter of release[1], so I’d call that a success.

You must be thinking of FiveThirtyEight.
Unfair? There is no unfair in the real world. You made a bad investment and are now reaping the results of your poor judgement. It’s perfectly fair. You want to make money? Stop blaming the world for not giving you what you want and learn how to give the world what it wants. Computer engineers are paid well because they develop systems that can turn $1 into $2. You could learn a lot from that.
Didn't I just say that I agreed with the core argument of the article? I just wanted to make sure we all understood that this isn't a case of a "woke" (for lack of a better term) person concerned about moderating the worst excesses of the movement, it's a case of someone who wants to dismantle the whole thing.

And it's absolutely relevant what a person "is." If NRA TV uploaded a special report on gun control, it matters that you know it was produced by NRA TV. I can't believe I'm even having to argue this point.

Finally, I didn't defend students/academia reacting incorrectly to the professors, I just said I understood. A lot of people are (rightfully, I think) sick of neoliberalism's "free marketplace of ideas" approach to permitting right-wing toxicity, and can get carried away when they think that's what a speaker is relying on. That doesn't make them automatically right.
Memory Subsystems in Edge Inferencing Chips
This is pretty much the same process we went though to reverse engineer the custom "VPU" instruction set for the co-processor that the Raspberry Pi's firmware runs on.

We used the publicly available bootcode.bin and loader.bin to RE most of the ISA before the Pis even started shipping, though there were some more obscure instructions that we weren't sure about until we could run our own code.

But when my pi did arrive, we knew enough to write a binary that would blink an LED on more-or-less the first attempt.

I guess the real lesson, custom ISAs are not a good form of security.

Ask HN: YC company walked away with customer funds – alert YC?
Hey HN community - Before I fill out the general contact form for YC, I thought I'd check here first.

My situation is that I haven't been able to get in touch with the founders of a YC company for a few months after engaging them on a project, signing agreements, and wiring them a considerable sum of money (tens of thousands).

The last communication from the company was an informal email from the CEO in July saying they were dealing with funding issues, but that's the last I heard from them, which feels totally unacceptable.

Is there a channel for communicating this type of issue directly with YC?

> you also should acknowledge that every centrally planned forced cooperative has ended up run by abusive leaders who do not take care of their citizens.

I mean, that's my point. That abusive leaders who do not take care of their citizens in an economy centrally planned to not destroy the Earth is preferable to a "free" one that does.

It's a false dichotomy. The capitalist world has included horrible authoritarian governments that have perpetuated the same atrocities against humans as your "abusive leaders", just like these centrally planned economies haven't exactly been environmental stewards.

All else equal, I'm saying that I'd prefer a sub-optimal centrally planned economy that guaranteed strong environmental protections.
I think the point is that the FPGA can handle very high speed IO in hardware, the ESP32 can host the application software and handle the communications.

We are taking two approaches to this. The first is that you could roll out a replacement node and shutdown the old one. In bare metal scenarios this is much harder so we implemented in place upgrades, but they work very similar to creating a new node. Since Talos is immutable and runs from RAM, an in place upgrade consists of shutting down all services, and then wiping the disk and performing a fresh install. We then reboot the node and its as if you wiped the machine clean and installed the new version of Talos from the get go. This is all via the API by the way.
At least it's not as bad as web forums, where if you post your opinion to an old thread it's deleted as "necroposting", but when you post it as a new thread it's deleted as a "dupe", so you shoehorn it into a closely-related thread but it's deleted as "off-topic", and when you point out your predicament to a mod you're "ignored", so finally you complain and then you're "banned". :)

The law against eating pork was only put in place for the nation of Israel. Non-Israelites are not obligated to avoid pork – even the ones that follow Yahweh. Jews and Christians both agree on this.

There is actually a whole group of people who believe in Orthodox Jewish teaching but don't adopt a Jewish identity or follow Jewish laws. The Rabbis teach them that it's enough just to follow the 7 Laws of Noah – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Laws_of_Noah

I really wish they wouldn't add stuff like compression and so forth, because I feel like it's an "abstraction layer violation" and it's misleading in a way that the majority of other storage media isn't; for example, a 1TB hard drive is going to store (at least) 10^12 bytes regardless of what those bytes contain. A 60 minute audio tape will always record 60 minutes of pure silence, white noise, or anything in between. Yet somehow data tape is marketed with a theoretical compressed capacity.
After multiplying the single track linear density by the number of tracks, you also need to divide by the tape width to convert to a recording area density number. So you end up with about 10.9Mbit/mm².
As a counter-counterpoint, every TV station runs with some form of bias.
I agree with this to an extent. There are certainly places where replacing can be expensive. For example, bare metal, or if the machine contains a large amount of data and moving that data to a new node is time consuming.
By waste of time do you mean performance or coding time? I feel like writing a character more is not a waste of time, if you are just following the convention that anything that is not going to be muted should be signed explicitly. It's not to prevent bugs, but for readability and ease of use.

It's (usually) dangerous to discuss things like this in as small / low bandwidth-medium as a discussion thread, but I'll give it a shot.

First, I would suggest that many things which seem "arbitrary and capricious" could be seen as signal to the listener that perhaps they don't quite understand the reasons behind the "arbitrary" thing (related: Chesterson's Fence [0]). Orthodox Judaism has a tradition of intense discussion and debate on _every single_ law, precept, and injunction, which leads to very few wholly arbitrary results. You may not agree with the outcome, but it's extremely unlikely that a law was enacted due to arbitrariness or malicious intent.

Regarding Shabbat ("Sabbath") elevators, do you understand the spirit of the law? What is the intent (spirit) of prohibiting usage of electricity on Shabbat? It is, broadly, to preserve something known as the "spirit of Shabbat" – a feeling of rest, calm, and cessation from weekday productive, creative, or goal-oriented, pursuits. I can tell you that in today's hyper-connected tech world, lack of active electronics on Shabbat is one of the nicest parts of my existence. It feels so good to turn off, disconnect, and spend time with people who are similarly focused on what's in front of them: food, family, friends, and deep discussion. When nobody is using devices, everybody is wholly present, and interactions are much more satisfying.

Halakha ("Jewish law") is very sensitive to the psychological state of its practitioners. Allowances which may appear as arbitrary "sneaky" loopholes are, in fact, carefully considered balances between necessities of life, psychology, autonomy, and community. To ignore any of those elements is to miss the point of the balance that halakha strives for. For instance, the Kosher Phone was produced for _some_ Orthodox Jewish communities whose constituent decisors (TFA: "by some interpretations") decided that children texting was harmful to the character of their kids.

To state that conversation style and allowances change with the medium (ie. text vs voice) is, I think, a fairly reasonable assertion. Children will communicate differently via voice vs. text. Whether you want kids in your community (or your own children) to engage in that style of conversation is up to you, and your community's values and perceptions, but to state that disallowing such discourse is "arbitrary" "cherry-picked" "dogma" is to say more about your own understanding than the decision itself, and the thinking that went in to making it.

I can see expelling people for things that are not crimes, such as cheating on tests, or breaking any number of arbitrary rules

But having a lower standard of proof means expelling people who haven't actually done what you're expelling them for. That's a whole other thing, and I'm very hesitant about it.

Of course, when the expulsions almost only happen to members of one gender, on the say-so of members of the other gender, it gets extra complicated.

If the balance is handled in a remote server or location then you should have a remote deduct method which handles the operation in an atomic idempotent manner.

If you are handling data locally e.g in a file then you would ideally rely on OS write lock and only store the deltas and never change state. You could then calculate the balance from the log of deductions and insertions.

FYI this problem has not anything to do with async or JS.
Oh that's interesting if this is the case. So now a module export can contain an asynchronously initialized db handler for example?
