These are diseases of despair. The financial inequality in this country is literally killing us. Sure there are other mental illness issues, there always are, and always will be. But this inequality is the root of the issues causing the . declining life expectancy. If the average person can't feel somewhat secure in their life, like they aren't completely struggling and beat down just making ends meet, if we are living one paycheck away from homelessness or bankruptcy, buried in debt from student loans, medical bills, credit card debt, mortgage etc... Most people can barely stay afloat, let along save for retirement, and have time to actually feel relaxed and able to enjoy their lives. What do we expect from this situation? A healthy society?

Dark Patterns: Research Reveals the Dirty Tricks of Online Shopping
I’m no expert in this field either, but perhaps on sufficiently small time and size scales the discrete jumps in space and time would line up. It might be that for fermion matter it isn’t possible. I know incredibly little about more exotic matter, but I think I may have heard of theoretical crystals formed in non fermion matter in violent celestial scenarios.

I’d be interested to see a simulation that’s able to make a time crystal that can have symmetry between spatial and time dimensions, even if the physics are tuned for them rather than our universe. Just to see what it would look like. I’d take any new imagery to aid in understanding solid state physics.

Ask HN: Is it too late to make a side income by creating Udemy courses/similar?
I'm almost 30, and since I was 15 I've on/off wrote blog posts and written tutorials (some on my personal site, some paid articles + paid series a long time ago). One of the few things I enjoy doing at work (DevOps engineer) is teaching/training other people. I run a few small online side projects for beer money, but I'm not that interested in most of them, whereas making money from creating courses would be a dream for me.

For the last few years I've been using Python to build internal REST APIs and so on, and I'm also fairly well versed in PHP/Laravel. I'm not actually a SW Developer by trade, but feel I know more than enough to write/record courses for something like Udemy.

My issue is searching Udemy for any phrase such as 'Python rest', 'Python flask', 'Python web scraping' yields thousands upon thousands of results. Is it too late to start creating content for subjects like these? I'm not really a software developer, and I have more passion for monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, Graphite, Icinga2, Statsd...) but these kind of topics don't seem worth approaching as anyone with an interest is likely already technical enough to get by, whereas learning to code has a much larger audience.

Interested to hear if I'm just being pessimistic, or whether others think the ship may have already sailed on a majority of topics.
I do not think so either.

My own kids escaped much of this, and I was an active parent.

Turns out, I am going to have to help another one, my granddaughter due to son's big fail and meth. (Not good, I have no words. It is all insane hard for him now)

Maybe we can largely home school, or potentially move.

When I compare my school experience to this mess?

Who knew? It all seems crazy and so very unnecessary.

The other disturbing trend is criminal records at increasingly young ages. When do kids get to learn from mistakes without being badly marked before they even come of age?
San Francisco is becoming a third world shithole, but with first world rent prices. Why would anyone choose to live there? Do people enjoy stepping in human feces and getting their cars stolen?
Then don't if it's easier for you. My usecase is I want to watch things on a reltively low powered Linux laptop. They have nothing for me.
They didn't for quite a long time. They've been anti-GNU for a long time. And they've pretty much supplied or funded all the tools needed to replace the GNU userland.

Ubisoft Massive | Site Reliability Engineer (Infrastructure Engineer) | Malmo, SE | Onsite, Relocation/VISA offered http://www.massive.se

My team is looking for an automation focused individual to help us release AAA games with the highest possible reliability, while supporting the needs of the adjacent programming squad. Our team is comprised of classically trained sysadmins who have always had a brush with automation, we work very closely with C++ programmers so experience or willingness is helpful.

Our stack is primarily comprised of Saltstack/Python/terraform, an ideal candidate would have enough Python experience to be able to investigate with us and fix bugs with us in saltstack (and contribute them back upstream) - Knowledge of C++ is a plus, but not required.

We also deal with Windows Server, Debian and FreeBSD, but absolute knowledge in those things is not paramount, typically we look for expertise in practical use of systems and infrastructure, concepts that go beyond the implementation of a single OS. A full Jobspec is here: https://www.massive.se/job/online-infrastructure-engineer-si...

We have many other open positions for C++ programmers, Animators, Data Managers: https://www.massive.se/career/ each offers a relocation package and an additional VISA if required.

There is a certain immediacy and satisfaction to having bite-sized segments of your work praised and re-posted that not even Medium can fulfill.

That, and atrophied attention spans can only handle bite-sized readings at a time. If this thread was in blog form it would get a fraction of the viewership.
Just some reason I might make a switch from Java/C# to Rust:

* you can keep memory use quite a bit lower
* you can still sometimes get large constant factors of performance improvements over the JVM in some kinds of problem domains. If this means you can run on 1 server instead of say, 5, you have a much simpler infrastructure.
* startup time, especially if you are doing 'serverless' or similar
* tail latency - even a good GC language will have occasional long pauses.
* data race protection at compile time
* easier deployment - no need to install a jvm and keep it updated

You are really asking for a citation of my opinion?

Besides, did you get to the next phrase? Nuclear won't beat the research investment on renewables on the next decades, because our society is starting to organize around the later. Your handful of institutions will not be able to produce more than literally everybody else.

As much as small reactors can improve, renewables will improve faster, and the floor for solar costs is very, very low.
> Robots are used everywhere already. Everywhere.

Robots are used in manufacturing, in closed relatively controlled environments.

They don't yet freely roam the streets among human population and that is the issue here.
Seeing how Rust is consistently at the top of Stack Overflow's most loved languages, I'd wager it's gonna be Rust again.
I for one am glad that Wordpress doesn't behave like the App Store, yanking apps willy-nilly with no warning, and little recourse.

Wordpress development is for developers, not consumers. They don't require the same level of hand-holding. When things like this occur, devs can make the choice to remove the plugin on sites they maintain.

For prospective users, every plugin page has a "reviews" section that tells them exactly if the plugin does anything shady. Yoast isn't a monopoly and thanks to how the plugin ecosystem has evolved over time, WP devs usually have a second or third option to go with, should their #1 pick no longer meet their needs.

Numbers. How many suspects are actually set free because of this law? I suspect very few, and this is just a way to vilify those who want to look out for the working class and those in poverty. If lawmakers really want to solve car thefts, they need to look at the systemic economic problems that cause the need for such theft to occur, not look for more ways to put poor people in jail.
> But then again with all the school shootings I don't blame the security companies, it's a deep cultural/societal issue.

Perhaps we should. Companies exploiting peoples' irrational fears and inability to do math are huge part of the problem. It would be less bad (but still bad) if they only scammed people, selling school shooting protection charms or other magical items. But instead, they're selling ineffective solutions with bad side effects, taking away freedoms, creating stress and feelings of insecurity.

Few things irk me as much as people making money from hurting other people.

The current president picks up where the previous one left off -- they don't start with a clean slate and no historical baggage.
I've been working remotely the same amount of time. I used to work remote for a local Chicago company and there were plenty of opportunities for social interaction. Now I'm working remote for a Bay Area company and it's pretty isolating. My wife's Christmas party is a highlight of the year.
> Don’t cheat: We believe in playing by the rules of the game, abiding by both their letter and their spirit. If we don’t like the rules, we work openly and collaboratively to improve them.

I can't help but think this is a huge swipe at companies like Airbnb, Uber, Lyft, and any of the others that knowingly break laws (or aid others to do so) and hope they can get away with it, or change the law(s) later.
There are dozens of us!

I think most of this comes down to the fact that Americans generally had little savings outside of their home equity. This only became relevant in the 90-00s when home equity loans/LoCs took off and were widely available to almost anyone. Suddenly, it mattered how much equity you had in your home because you could spend it.

There's another group of people that look at their parents' home and realize that it has doubled in value since the early 90s. But these people usually don't account for interest, tax, and maintenance payments over those 20 years.

That's only true to the degree that the energy cost of building an energy system is directly proportional to the dollar cost, which is often very not true.

> Americans consider housing to be an investment.

Not just an investment, but for many, it's the investment. For most of the 99% property ownership is seen as the only reliable motive for social mobility. It's the only way to sustained and reliable long-term financial wealth.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying asking people to give up their only solid method of upward social and financial mobility for the sake of fairness is a little callous, especially since all the other methods were discounted and are heavily tilted in favor of the 1% so they can cling to their mountains of gold just a little harder.

If there where not laws preventing it, they wouldnt even just use food waste, but also food that would have a better price as energy. Which would eliminate the eternal surplus on the food market, which even the most deluded neo-con senses, could lead to the market phenomen known as a hunger uprising.

That is great you can prioritize spending time with your son!

When I had an hour+ commute we ended up pushing our kid's bedtime to 11 which was nice to spend more time with him but then made it harder for me to get enough sleep! Now he is in school so 11pm bedtime obviously is too late.
Except its just as regulated, just differently. Its certainly not "the private sector policing itself." Efficient regulation that conforms to need is not the same as deregulation.
I agree. This is a false dichotomy between the status quo and Judge Dreddesque super towers. I think changing zoning at the edge of the current sense areas could help a lot too. You'd likely need an increased investment in public transit to make that work.

It's because of whom the founders are. Jessie Frazelle was a major engineer in containers and a frequent talk giver. Steve Tuck was President and COO of Joyent. Bryan Cantrill is the former CTO of Joyent and co-creater of Dtrace. To many in the HN community those are impressive credentials. Added to that is that many people here have worked with one of those three or at the very least listened to at least one of their talks.

Yes, but the average person with savings isn't going to create wealth in any way that a business can with that money. Most especially if that money is "saved" in stocks or bonds. This might be better for people in the short term, but we are talking about sociatal progress not short term benefits.

But there's the obviously counterexamples of companies hoarding billions and not paying dividends because they don't know what to do with it.
Sure. Step 1, replace everything with a service. Step 2, make half of these free and employer- or government-provided, because people don't have time and money for dealing with subscription crap. Step 3, announce that if people want privacy, they should use their own devices.
Even as a user that for now will not be trusting PIA, I do applaud the advertising I've seen in many corners of the mainstream net trying to educate users about issues they otherwise would have no exposure at all to, unlike us.

> Yield is two-way. `result = await agen.asend(next_message)` et al.

It's still limited. To get a result you need to send something. Using it for something that's not strictly request-response can get complex.

> Having worked with Python async for 3 years, anything that asyncio touches is completely poisoned. ASGI is another in the line of terribleness of the modern async ecosystem.

That's your own bias. I also used asyncio from the beginning and got a different opinion. The asyncio package that comes with python is low level and is meant for building frameworks. If you used aiohttp, asyncpg and other packages packages build on top of asyncio it's actually quite enjoyable.
