>Surely the banks have to declare how much cash they're holding. Couldn't they just be forced to pay negative interest on that?

Could they? With appropriate legislation/government action, of course.

>..or give the money to someone else for a while so they can do something with it.

You are talking about forcing them to invest the money. And what happens if that person cannot pay back what was lent to them? If there were any available investments that were safe enough, the banks would be tripping over each other to make that investment, believe me. Hoarding money costs the bank money. Investing it is not only free, but it turns their money into more money. If you were to force them to make unsafe investments, then that risk is essentially passed onto the people who deposited their money in that bank, in the form of potentially not being able to withdraw their money.
GodotEngine Was Approved for an Epic MegaGrant
Of course, if you're in a web app, and you've received an email address, and you can't find a User record for that email address, a perfectly valid approach would be for the fetch to throw a 'not found' exception and to generically handle all 'not found' exceptions in request handlers to return 404 status codes.
"Check before" is a race condition nightmare - for anything where you care about concurrency, you must do the thing and then see whether it succeeded or not, assuming that the underlying layer is basically sound in this regard.

The world is full of bugs of the form "does this file exist? no? OK, open it for writing", which is exploitable by dropping a symlink in there between the check and the open.

The classic primitive CMPXCHG works like this too; you use it as you would a "store", but one that might fail if another thread has changed a value in the meantime.
>The German Saver knows better than most that inflation destroys savings.

Yeah this is not the outcome Germany or the EU needs to worry about. It's experiencing Japanese deflation for 20 years.

>This is a looming political issue that's only just beginning.

Yes there's been plenty of hard money cranks that have said this for 10 years since the Great Financial Crisis in the US. Zero Hedge, gold bugs, hedge fund managers, etc have all been sounding the alarm about "money printing" and the deficit. There's no inflation in sight.

A Top L Brands Executive Complained of Harassment. Then She Was Locked Out
Sovereignty bites sometimes.
I am in the same boat as you. I have a serious medical issues that is ongoing, but when I want to and am capable of working I'll have to explain it.

I guess the conversation could go like this:
Why were you not working for two years?
"Heart transplants are a bitch"
It still works.
the outstanding question is will it be a licensed copy?
You can activate it, but there is still ambiguity to if it will pass a license audit.
I tend to take a similar view.

I will write "unit tests" but they will be at the level of a whole module or assembly, and so often blur the lines with integration tests (particularly because spinning up a test data store is often easier than buggering around with mocks).

"Real" integration tests look at multiple modules or systems.

You catch a lot of bugs this way, have far fewer tests to maintain, and have the freedom to make internal changes without worrying that you're then going to have to fix up 100 tests to get your build working again. And you still get the coverage you need.

It's a better world.

Tbh, I find writing a tests at the class or method level only to be absolutely ridiculous except for cases where I'm dealing with a method that does something particularly tricky or esoteric.

Again, for all this context is key. As developers we should be thinking about what we're doing and the trade-offs inherent in that, not just blindly following a set of rules that say "You should do X; you should unit test; you should write tests for every method of every class."
This was quite a revelation to me, two things that stood out to me

I want to be clear that I think the Germans, Dutch and Swedes can afford to do more for the benefits of their own economies and of Europe’s. Germany needs to ween itself off of lignite coal and get better broadband infrastructure as well as contribute more to NATO.

On the other hand in a place like Argentina, I’m not sure what the exit strategy.

Your example is not quite as obviously wrong depending on your definition of "running" and "indefinitely". With a bit of hand waving I would personally count hiking all day, a marathon also feels long enough to me to count as indefinitely. Furthermore, cross-country marathons are a thing, see for example the movie "Forest Gump".

Probably a GDPR issue rather than a CDN issue.
You are not in the EU and therefore the GDPR does not apply to you.
That's great and all, but will that be a product with real revenue in the forseeable future?

It looks like this is related to another extreme weather event. An epic rainstorm. https://www.straight.com/tech/1354721/rogers-and-bell-cellph... climate change is making rain storms more powerful and intense.
No, it's a pretty fair assessment of the more sophisticated arguments climate change deniers are forced into after extreme weather events we've been getting illustrate the steady increase of average temperature.

For that matter, I don't think you are making a honest argument here, as you paint experts coming together to check each others work as something bad. People don't generally object to the linux kernel simply because it is "the coordinated work of thousands".

Nor is it normal to pretend that there isn't dissent within the linux project, as you try with climate change by saying "anyone who expresses skepticism[sic]" isn't welcome. And you do this in a comment thread of an article that is explicitly about dissent (about details) within the climate community.

Appearing on the cutting edge to enterprise clients is important to IBM. That doesn't mean they are on the cutting edge (they might or might not be). IBM's large pool of patents is something they can advertise to clients. Most companies don't see their patents as valuable, and thus don't patent as much stuff.

I've worked with former IBM people - all (or some it seems) of them have a plaque of whatever their first patent was. When they talk about it they admit it was a trivial invention that is too specific to be of much use outside the one project (thus there is no value in keeping it from competitors). IBM encourages patenting everything and has people looking for things to patent. Most other companies only patent things that are unique and worth the costs. (keeping from competitors, licensing to competitors, or keeping competitors from patenting it and stopping your use)

> A substantial portion of Elon Musk's company's funding comes from "tax money" (Goverment contracts, EV credits, tax breaks, subsidies).

How much? Sounds more like a talking point than an actual honest critique.

I mean, oil companies get massive subsidies and we spend trillions to go to war to keep the petroleum industry ascendant.
It's not about eliminating effects! It's about controlling them. A program that had no effect would be perfectly useless.

In distributed systems, it's important to be very intentional about effects, instead of letting them creep into any part of your program.

In that case, in javascript, i always just write a function.

{
init()
}

const init = () => {
if (fail) return
doSomething()
}

(there's a few other cases i introduce functions for syntactic reasons in js - e.g. at the expense of a const funtion, i can convert a let to a const - but i have always found this improves the code on standard readability guides)
Is there even a significant market for such a product?

Well, not quite -- the post was saying that if you never interact with the other party again, regardless of whether they're playing hardball or softball, there is no post-agreement fallout if you play hardball, because, well, there is no post-agreement interaction (like the buying a car example).

Presumably, for a job or professional services contract, where there is significant post-agreement interaction, the article's prescription for and reasoning behind not playing hardball still applies, even if the other party plays hardball.
True. But it is nice to have large bills when buying something that costs a lot, like a used car. I recently did that in the US and if I had some $500 or $1000 bill things would have went a bit smoother at that nervous time in the transaction when you are handing over to a person a big chunk of money.

"it is a flaw of how their country is run" and "it's why we have converged to a different system in most of the West."

The parent is making some kind of argument that China is uniquely susceptible to this kind of situation. Saying "no this isnt unique" isnt whataboutism, its refuting the claim being made.

I am noticing a trend where people claim whataboutism any time a counter example or analogy are used, despite them being directly relevant to the premise.
What the hell is this? This is not the calibre of content I expect from HN.
Yeah and that’s a way to get some sentences.

There's also Ada, which is not the same language but which was heavily influenced by Pascal.
Yeah, that's pretty much how I roll.

I apply security-only updates pretty much automatically. If an update contains nonsecurity changes, then I wait until enough others have applied the update that I feel I have a good handle on what the update is actually doing. If it seems harmless, then I'll apply it.

If it changes features, functionality, or the UI, then I need to reevaluate the update as if it were new software. That takes me a little longer to do, so that adds additional time before I decide what my response to it will be.
