I can't find any statistics for twitch subs easily, but it seems like "modestly popular" in your view equates to a very tiny percentage of streamers.
Continuous Deployment implies at least a few releases per day. Especially for bundled JavaScript (which is most setups) this means you’re invalidating the cache of the entire app at every payload.

Imagine having to download an app update every time someone merged to master. That’s most SPAs.
There is more money saved up than there are good productive investments available for it, in comparison to the past.

This correlates with a few things:
- Inflation of the value of investment assets (high P/E ratios)
- Low interest rates on bonds
- Secular stagnation
That makes it even more to the point; there are probably a dozen cities in the Bay Area where one could afford a house on a 200k household income without "scraping by".

San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Martinez, Antioch, Pittsburg, Hayward, Union City, Livermore, Milpitas, Morgan Hill, Gilroy, Richmond are all places you can get a house with a 200k salary in the Bay Area. There's probably a lot more, too. It's an indefensible statement.
Not sure what you mean by "point a routable address to it"... you don't point an address at a domain, you point a domain at an address. And you can point your domain at any address, whether you own it or not.

Beluga XL has cargo space volume 2209 m^3, while An-225 Mriya has 1300 m^3 (pressurized), cargo weight is 53 and 189 tonnes, respectively. So you need a big, "light" and non-pressure requiring cargo to justify the use of Beluga XL, which is exactly what Airbus is using it for, by transporting fuselages of other planes.
Which is not checking on-request. If a token is invalidated, it must be rejected inline. Otherwise, you're just fucking around. Which, if you aren't doing anything important, sure, fine--the problem is that most of the folks who leap to poorly-specified jank like JWT are doing important things with tools they don't understand and the people that are impacted are downstream of them.
I use VeraCrypt and none of this are of my concern in my daily use of it. Can anyone tell me if my containers are still safe from prying eyes since I upload them to cloud? I need specific answers from anyone working on VeraCrypt, not general answers of "yeah, they are unsafe" that usually HN does.

I don't have a list because I usually look around on here for my next book to read. I see a lot of similar titles after reading through this thread. Some I've read, some I've started and got bored with and a lot I've never heard of.

I just finished reading Siddartha, which is a really short book, but I'd like to read more that are similar to this, any suggestions?

I see Designing Data-Intensive Applications quite a bit in this thread, might have a go at that one too.

Currently I'm reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_the_Standard_Oi... which is fascinating!
Most inflation measures include housing, education, and healthcare. The perception that the national inflation measure isn’t accurate is rooted in the fact that a small but very vocal segment of the population (yuppies in coastal metro areas) are facing very high housing and educational costs. But that’s not true of most people. Housing prices aren’t skyrocketing in the Kansas City suburbs. Most people aren’t in college and don’t have any college debt.
This is a neat trick. I had already heard about the article's technique, but I like this one better because it at least lets you monetize.

Anyone know anything about the routes that it's running? I'm surprised these kinds of large parts aren't moved around by barge.
Even in that case, it may make sense to diversify. The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
Just name it! Good luck with that.
it all depends on your situation. Sure, as a single person 200K is doing well. But, 200K with a family of 4 (2 kids and a wife) is definately scraping by on the penninsula or SF. The only way that's not scraping by is if you bought your house over 20 years ago (or during 2010-2012 housing slump) OR you got yourself a Rent controlled apartment. Other than that, You ARE scraping by.

In SF, day care is almost 3K per month per child! On the penninsula/SF, if you rent a 3 bedroom apartment, it'll cost 4k-6K or so per month or more, that's 60K of your 130K take home pay.
Is this relevant? The bastards are constantly changing the terms of our interactions with them, while banking billions and destroying the fabric of human life. They can't also complain that we're not "honoring the spirit" of those terms.

After I learned the basics my own opinion is that Civilization is no longer a fun game, due to the poor AI.

We can probably agree that finding fun and interesting ways to dumb down an AI will be a cool area for research and new ideas in the future, but we need strong AI before we can figure out fun ways to weaken it.

I'm sure if I took the time to read them all, they'd all be very different as everyone has their own opinions on "things every programmer should know".

Heh, a long, long time ago I made a View Source app for iOS for specifically this purpose.
The funny part is that Dan Rather and his producers were fooled by a deeply unconvincing fake — a supposedly Vietnam-era typewritten document that was obviously made using Microsoft Word using default settings. Furthermore, many many people continued to defend it as real for a long time after partisans on the other side had thoroughly debunked it.

If 2004 news could be fooled by a fake that took a couple of minutes to make, I’m not that worried that today’s news is any better.
There are a lot of reasons a board member might reduce their stake in the company. Lack of belief in the company's strategy is a common reason, especially when boardroom drama is involved. I don't think investors will read anything into it other than Kalanick is rebalancing the risk profile of his portfolio now that he no longer has control of Uber.

Activist investors play this game all the time so it says nothing about the strategy one way or another, just that the appetite for risk is higher the more control you have.
This brings Australia's drinking recommendations up to par with pretty much the rest of the world, so this is a good change. (Last I checked, I think 100–120 grams a week for men was most common.)

If anyone's into fancy alcohols and wants to ensure they're sticking to safe drinking limits, I made a free iOS app called Good Spirits just for that purpose: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/good-spirits/id1434237439

You set a weekly drink amount (with suggestions based on government recommendations) and check in every time you drink, and the app tracks your progress and lets you know how you've been doing over the course of the week/month/year. For convenience, you can automatically pull your recent beer check-ins from Untappd.

The source code is available under the GPL here: https://github.com/archagon/good-spirits

(I think I'm pretty much the only user at the moment, but it's been invaluable in tempering my craft beer obsession!)
I wouldn't say it's hate towards JS but I think the evolution of JS vs the evolution of web and its use cases have not increased at the same velocity, latter being faster. JS has had to have a lot of scaffolding added to increase its use but WASM now comes in with the understanding of the modern requirements. However, I don't think it's either one or the other, it'll depend on the use-case.

I can't imagine JS will go anywhere anytime soon, especially since it still needs to be called from DOM manipulation,but the ability to code a full stack in a single non-JS language and run it at near-native performance is going to be very useful as more apps become web based and complex. Even from a skills point of view, you can now have backend and front-end developers skillsets are slightly more merged so easier to swap around resources.

That I can believe, but it seems a bit double-speaky to call it a savings glut, right? My untutored intuition tells me that its a glut of savings in a small number of people's hands.

People who don't have a glut of savings, or even significant debt, which is a lot of people, can probably think of a lot of good uses for that money.

Assuming this sketch is accurate, the problem is too much money in the hands of too few. Not a savings glut. To call it such seems like a nakedly political way of avoiding the real issue.

These salaries are incredibly high for someone who never worked at a tech company in the valley. What's the general consensus on whether these salaries will increase, decrease, or stay the same in the medium term (i.e., next 5-10 years)?
> Perhaps BSI was merely attempting to provide such a service for free.

Yup. That's something they do. They also do stuff like checking/scanning publicly accessible servers in Germany for outdated software/vulnerabilities and you'll get an e-mail if they find something (this is automated).

In this case there's the added dimension of the government using Truecrypt in some places at the time, so they had an interest in it being secure.
Those lists are alphabetical, not by size...
Pre-digital it may have been destined for old-school newspaper pictures with the varying density dots - monochrome of course. That would mask a multitude of sins and shoddy brushwork.

The Daily Mail was at it from around WW1, perhaps earlier. Though their main WW1 fake was, of course, the cadaver factories. Surprisingly the Times bought that tale too.
If I had extra money, I would buy one of those and make it into a 'vomit comet' and sell tickets.

You are just framing the same thing in a different way. The ToS is lawyer speak, how they enforce it is a really different question.

To provide a service for the vast majority you need powerful legal tools against the small, but smart devious users. Strict wording is part of this never ending battle.

At YouTube scale it's very hard and injustice is baked into the system. With a service like Floatplane, you can police it fairly easily. To a point... :) Then they will start to feel the heat.
>It ignores asset inflation (stocks, real estate, venture capital, everything else)

I consider education and health[care] to be assets too (which you include in the big three costs, in fact the big three costs are all assets).

I agree the official US inflation measure is garbage.
The Unua Libro was written (naturally, as its title shows) early in Zamenhof’s activity. In later years, he went further and further down the path of "all humanity being one" rhetoric.
People look at profits with a narrow focus. It's entirely possible for a widely profitable company to have no future than a company reporting a narrow loss. It's also possible that a company has reached it's end of days for lack of a way to sustain profits.

Hypothetically speaking, if there were a reporting mechanism that clearly separated operational expenditure from re-investments, Amazon and Uber would likely be in two different ends altogether. More importantly, Amazon didn't just reinvest into existing products, they were also adding entire new categories of businesses (AWS), new models of operation (2-day shipping) and relentlessly adding new categories (wider selection) - all at the same time.

It's possible that Uber might be doing something similar, I'm just not that aware of the breakdown of Uber's expenditures and losses.

I think the main benefit (apart from practical reasons) to learn a language is the associated translation of culture that suddenly is not removed by a degree of separation as before.

You can think of it as lossless vs. lossy information transmission. If there is any translation step, then the transmission is lossy. Sometimes terribly lossy.

With Esperanto... well, it's invented isn't it so at this point there is no cultural benefit. But then again, Klingon afficionados are probably culturally pretty colourful.
Inflation has nothing to do with the scarcity of goods. It has to do with the scarcity of money.

This is my first open source project with the aim of getting it adopted and used by someone.

Would appreciate any feedback!
I think that's underselling the talk. Apart from the very enjoyable presentation, it makes valuable insights.

The talk isn't trying to sell itself as 100% original. It makes reference to asm.js and a game demo that already existed at the time of the talk as well as repl.it.

Despite that, I do think it makes a unique insight that even though JavaScript is ubiquitous, it will NOT be the language that future languages compile to, but rather a bytecode perhaps inspired by JavaScript that will be the language of the future. Also, importantly this bytecode will win; that is most languages will the ability to directly compile to or have a VM in this bytecode.

Moreover this bytecode has the potential to entirely supplant native code and can do so with equal or better performance.

At least to me, neither of those were obvious insights even though I knew of these plugins and JSLinux.

First off, those plugins died. Silverlight, ActiveX, Java on the web, Flash, all of these died out and were replaced by JavaScript before wasm really took off. It might've looked like the end state would be a version of JavaScript "winning."

Second, things like PNacl, Emscripten, etc. still seemed like curiosities (as the talk refers to when showing Repl.it). It wasn't clear that they or the ideas they championed would get widespread adoption.

These days it is looking more and more likely that wasm is going to become a target for all sorts of different compilers. The fact that it's a major compilation target of Rust, a language that's about as far away from what I would've thought of as a language for the web as possible, is striking.

And though we're still a long ways away from running everything on WebAssembly, it no longer seems as exotic an idea as it once did to me.

And because of that, as well as the fantastic presentation, I still return to this talk every so often awed at how much closer we are to realizing Metal.

There's still a lot of room for the talk to go very wrong, but it's not as far-fetched as when I first watched it.

EDIT: Put another way; the talk is interesting to me because it emphasizes the birth and death of JavaScript. It talks about a world where the same forces that propelled JavaScript to towering heights of popularity ultimately cast it aside and create a world not possible without JavaScript, but in which JavaScript itself essentially no longer exists.
That would be quite unfortunate.

I typically want to use the word "strawman" sparingly, but claiming that every self help/therapy book commits the same pitfall is exactly the definition. It seems like the author is asking us to imagine these faulty books to criticize.
>But, 200K with a family of 4 (2 kids and a wife) is definately scraping by on the penninsula or SF.

Lol. No, it isn't. It is absolutely mind blowing what the general tech industry thinks "scraping by" means. The median household income in SF is less than 100k. At 200k, you make more than twice that. If you're just "scraping by" with 200k, then I can't even imagine what people making less than the median are doing.
The shape is just a result of the engineering decisions to reach Airbus's goal: transport fuselages to Toulouse. Those are relatively light, but big, so building a tube-like structure above the main "chassis" of the plane yields to this kind of shape, which we then recognize as a similarity to beluga.
I wish Jira would do something like this- collapse all dependencies between tickets and turn my work into a queue, notifying me when it changes.

The whole point is to send that signal, increasing demand for wind power, and increasing the budget for the company so they can invest in new turbines.
If beginning to fix aging was an economically viable opportunity, there would probably be some daring entrepreneurs that would give it a go. There's this oft-repeated trope about "why do the billionaires make apps instead of fixing aging", but it's a very unreasonable expectation to have. People aren't in the business of creating companies to burn hundreds of millions of dollars if there's no hope on the horizon for them to create a sustainable business. That's just an exercise in futility and a waste of time and money.

Depending on what these productivity apps do, the impact could potentially be large. Trying to minimize the work (which I don't think anyone knows what it will be yet) as just "a time saving app" is pretty dismissive. I use a tool called Clockwise to reschedule my 1:1s ever week in Google Calendar. As a manager that lives and dies by my calendar, having a tool that automatically does this for me without having to play meeting time and room roulette is such a huge time and mental burden off of my chest. It allows me to use that valuable time and mental cycles on important things like working on a new initiative or helping a team member with their career development. Take that and multiply it by tens of millions of people and you have real, meaningful impact.

In fairness, this might have just been an overly-broad solution to a certain problem. That is, if you have an element that is clickable and isn't an <a> or <button>, double clicking it can cause page content to be selected when this was not intended.

"How not to diet" goes into far more depth; the references are so large, he put them online instead of making the book far larger than the 800 pages it already is. People sometimes read Dr. Greger through a lens which suggests he spends too much time talking "plant-based" when they, those readers, have digestive or other problems with strictly vegan diets. My take is that he does, at the very least, point out what the effects of non-plant-based sources can have. I do not read in his books (I have both, and watch all his videos) specific dietary advice; rather, I simply find in them the kinds of information I seek to make my own choices.

The fact that you have have to stipulate that one can live without roommates and "all basic needs are met" with a $200,000 salary proves the OP's point. That's more than 6 times the median annual income in the US.

The median home price in the Bay area is ~$1.5 million, so at $200k salary you'd be stretched with that kind of mortgage. Most homes where I'm from aren't worth $200k. What about child care, and the cost of commuting? You might not be "scraping by" on $200k in SV, but should that even be remotely a concern at a white-collar job working for some of the biggest companies on the planet?
