FWIW: the relative obsession with investment strategies as explanations for things like this is IMHO one of the clearest signs we're past the peak of an expansion and "due" for a correction. This happened in 2000 and 2008 too -- everyone online became an expert about this stuff. Then a year later no one wanted to be seen talking about money.

Dunbar's number has to do with the ability to maintain "stable social relationships", not "care". And I reject the notion that a recognition of shared humanity takes place in the abstract.

You bring up a good point: small cars like this with a roof should have a rack from the factory. Since they don't go fast, aero isn't an issue.
I appreciate your effort and I am just sharing a piece of information I have, in the hope that it will help you strategies a good plan of action. I don't mean to discourage you with my comments.

I was speaking to an Indian guy who now has is US passport & good job in NYC. He came to US on an on-site assignment with TCS. He said that this is how TCS & all Indian companies work, IT companies in general.

When hiring fresh graduate(beginning) in India, the first requirement to start working is a passport. Then the chance of on-site is the carrot that they (company) uses to squeeze. If the managers sense that you are close to giving your papers to resign, they will say that you are in the top list. Plus these companies flood the h1b system with applications of all their employees. Basically the companies need a carrot to whip the employee and the ultimate is a green card, after which the employees are free and is a matter of time before they quit. If you are that valuable to them, then you they pay you well to keep you. So, the companies do everything to delay the green card process.

So, this is the system that he gamed to get his freedom and now his brother is close to getting his green card at Infosys.

This is the game.
Probing Questions for Executives Approving a Rewrite
My go-to perspective whenever these kinds of headlines come up:

------------------

"Suppose you’re just starting out as an egg farmer, and your goal is to build up a nice, profitable business. You want to build up a flock of hens so big that they are eventually producing thousands of eggs per month.

You buy your first 100 hens, and they get right to work. You allow those eggs to hatch so more hens can be born, and you also continue to buy hens from the farm supply store. Suddenly your phone rings and it’s Farmer Joe down the road. “The price of hens has just dropped by 50%! You’ve just lost five grand on those hundred hens you bought last summer!”

Is this a sensible way to think about it?

No, of course not. You’re happy that hens are cheaper, because now you can build your egg business even faster.

Stocks are just like hens. They lay eggs called “dividends”, which are real money that can either flow automatically into your checking account, or automatically reinvest itself to buy still more stocks. Some younger companies don’t pay dividends, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t making you money – they are just reinvesting their profits to grow even faster – and eventually become a Super Hen.

There’s only one time you care if one of your shares is down: on the day you sell it."

It takes a very long time to revoke trust if you don't want to break the web. Symantec was discovered to have misissued a bunch of certs in 2015[1] (including for google.com). No one removed trust for them. Then in Jan 2017 it was discovered they misissued a bunch more[2]. I believe it was the end of 2018 before browsers finally removed trust for them.

Ooh, this looks interesting. I'm a pretty happy OneNote user, but it'd be nice to have something encrypted and with native support in Linux. I don't suppose you know if Standard Notes supports multi-user databases, does it? I couldn't find anything on that. My wife and I share a household OneNote notebook and that's been pretty handy to have.

crt.sh actually has their postgres database open to the public!

You can connect with:

psql -h crt.sh -p 5432 -U guest certwatch

From what you're saying, the query would be:

On a more serious note: an excel macro language like VBA pretty much needs to be interperated or the compiler needs to be hidden away like VBA does. As user you shouldn’t have to deal with a compiler step. You can do this with C# pretty well as you can with other languages.

Personally I think it would be really cool if they used TypeScript instead of JavaScript.

Out of the 25 corrections charted, the 3rd fastest was in 1955; the 6th fastest was in 1946.
Discipline can be mean strong performance too.

In any case, exceptions are really only a performance problem if there are frequent. [1] Modern compilers and machines have near zero overhead for unthrown exceptions and 20x the overhead of an if-else.

Chances are quite good that you have bigger performance problems than exceptions.

Bees are dead stupid, though. They have varroa mites sucking their juices and don't even do anything about it. That's like if half your family had cat-sized vampires stuck to their sides and you all went about your business as usual.

"Hey Mom, how are you doing? You look pale. Must be that fat vampire that's been sucking your blood this past week. I have one too now, though - looks kinda cool! Oh well, gotta go, see ya!"

And whole bee hives actually get destroyed by those mites. Arrgh. So don't talk about the intelligence of those buggers. They're brain-dead where it matters.
No matter what the official criteria for “correction” is, that word just doesn’t feel right. “Correction” implies it’s a fix for some insignificant thing, like over exuberance/a bubble. But that’s not what’s going on here.

One of the biggest manufacturing economies has essentially shut down. Companies are already warning about significant impacts on quarterly earnings. Those are actual, real things — not people just realizing they got a little too excited.

It is absurd that my repeated, informed rebuttals of this rudely-phrased nonsensical misinformation are being flagged, so that visitors to the site will see only the aggressive misinformation and not the corrections. What kind of site are these people trying to turn this into?

This is not just a "poor me, I am being persecuted" issue. We can let Hacker News turn into Twitter, with insult contests being resolved by flagging campaigns that eventually hellban the accounts of the less-popular side of any issue, or into YouTube, dominated by conspiracy theories and hate; or we can stand up for reasoned discussion and informed comment.
I've tried the following:

- Evernote: didn't support markdown so gave it up

- OneNote: UI is too much, like PowerPoint. It's not a text-based note app.

- Quiver: https://happenapps.com/ I bought this app. It's great. I've been using it for a long time. But I gave it up when I found notion.so. Quiver doesn't allow me to sync multiple notebooks. Under each notebook, you cannot have a sub-notebook under a notebook (like a folder inside a folder). It doesn't support global search.

- SimpleNote: bad UI. The render is buggy.

- Notion.so: So far it's my favorite. But the desktop app is slow. Especially for work, I need to take a lot of quick notes.

- Joplin: quickly tried but gave it up. Slow and bad UI.

- Notable: https://github.com/notable/notable Nice, clean UI. The render is fast. A great feature of notable is that it has a "copy block" button for the code block. I love the feature. But the problem is I cannot use cmd + w to close the window, it always pops up a confirmation modal. (IMAO, modal is the worst UI ever invented on this planet.) No updates recently. I am willing to pay this app if a new version comes out.

- Fsnotes: https://github.com/glushchenko/fsnotes Nice, clean UI. But the render is buggy.

- Bear App: https://bear.app/ Nice clean UI. But the weird thing is in all the other markdown I've used, "-" is for a list, "[]" is for a to-do list. But in Bear, "-" is for a to-do list, "*" is for a list.

I ended up paying two apps, Notion for personal stuff, Bear for work.

The standard library uses exceptions, but in ways that are avoidable.

Not using exceptions does necessitate avoiding the `new` operator, or allowing your program to terminate on OOM.

I'm a big fan of MMM however a better analogy would be a disease comes through that makes all the eggs 50% smaller, or leads to 50% infertility.

MMMs analogies tend to assume you're independently financially secure, which is his whole schtick. I love it. But there are people who'll lose their jobs and house in a recession and need to draw down their stock at the worst possible time, not leave it sitting there as the analogy implies.
> But in my case it was because my existing database is a fairly complicated beast with a lot of updating through stored procedures on views. Hasura wanted to have control of what is happening in the database and there was zero chance that it would agree with the existing triggers about what should happen or how it worked. (Example of an issue, Hasura wants to own the view and view structure so that it can make real time subscriptions work.)

Unless I’m grossly misunderstanding, none of that is correct in the slightest!

Hasura doesn’t assume _anything_ about your table or view structure. Hasura will never interfere with your existing stored procedures either. At most hasura will refuse to track some items in your schema because they don’t adhere to the GraphQL naming spec. But hasura doesn’t own and control tables/views/triggers at all!

I’m actually really confused and surprised because this sounds exactly like the opposite of what Hasura does and what it was designed for, ie work with existing databases instantly.

I’d love to understand this in more detail and see if there was actually an issue and what it was. It's an important thing for us to look into and fix and would deeply appreciate your notes! Is there someway i can reach you?

Antifragile: "Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. Yet, in spite of the ubiquity of the phenomenon, there is no word for the exact opposite of fragile. According to Taleb, the opposite of fragile is antifragile. Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better"

In India, the average speed of traffic in major cities is anywhere between 5kmph to 15kmph during peak hours (from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., depending on the location, with some lean periods in between). There are electric vehicles (not many) that manage even on stretches with low traffic at comparatively lower speeds. Since being on the road itself is annoying, these extra annoyances add up only a little bit, and won’t be significant in such areas.

The problem with this is that it will cause a practical relief effect that will create a small but consistent reordering latency. "You don't seem too $symptomatic today, how did you handle the past N days?"

This could be easily discerned through individual scrutiny or large-scale automated analysis.
Like I said, performance predictability, not raw performance. if/else have predictable performance characteristics, while exceptions are fast usually and then occasionally very slow.

The idea being that in an area where you'd like performance to be predictable, even in cases of unexpected results, Sum types or if/else give the same performance all the time.
"Correction" refers to the idea that the market was previously overpriced by 10%. In this case one would say it was not pricing in the risk of the virus correctly, until now.

If it falls 20% from the high, they stop calling it a correction and start calling it a bear market.

Of course, the market went up thirty freaking percent last year to put this price action in perspective.
Does anyone have a good solution for orchestrating language servers? With a mildly complex code base (grpc/thirft + python + build system) there's a lot of languages in play. At any small to medium company you're looking at around >5 different languages used. Downloading, configuring, starting, and providing context to (what files can see what other files, what the final build looks like, etc) to all of the language servers you want to use can sometimes be a huge pain. This is something that IntellJ with gradle does very easily.

the problem is not the vehicle. it is the city itself. we need 3 dimensional cities, not 2 dimensional monopoly boards with towers on them.

the technology is not entirely there yet, but it is coming.

i love musk, but tunneling is NOT the answer, or at least it's not the big obstacle to 3 dimensional cities.

the solution involves
1) better materials for a) strength b) noise filtering
2) better ability to move air and filter air
3) better ability to move light and control light
4) bettery everything else ( which is coming )

5) a change of culture for people who want to participate in a 3 dimensional city at least some of the time. living in it is not for everyone, working in it is also not for everyone . It will however, be primarily services an information based, and NOT manufacturing based in its economic structure.
Maintaining VBA code is probably easier than maintaining C code. You have all the tools to structure things nicely. You even have classes. One problem is that you can’t version control Excel or Access code. I think that’s the biggest weakness.

First, a huge shoutout to @laurent22 who still tirelessly pushes out new code for the community.

I use Joplin everyday, I switched over about a year ago from a Dropbox-sync'd markdown files edited in Sublime.

I really like Joplin for a few things:

- Source files are in markdown, no vendor lock-in*

- It has the actual HTML rendering in the editor, and allows you to toggle easily

- Android version works quite well, even the syncing!

- Supports tags

- You can add links to different notes by right clicking on a note and selecting `Copy Markdown Link`

- Of the many open-source solutions I've tried, it's probably the only one that works out of the box with a nice mobile app! Kudos

It's not meant for

- To-do list: I tried putting my todo-list in here. It's a bit too free form for that, with no support for dates

A few things it does, which should be of note:

- *Note are not stored nested in the way they are presented on the left in the notebooks. Rather everything is a markdown file (including notebooks) with metadata stored at the top of the markdown file

- You could individually edit files and there is a 'watch' function to open up the note in another editor, it's not really possible for external editors to edit the whole notebook.
Something that's never totally clear to me, either on the upside or the downside: say the largest economy in the world is shut down. Even say it stays that way for three or four months. Does that actually mean that the US' public capital has dropped ten percent in value? It's my very strong suspicion that in two years we will be chugging along again as if this never happened. Why is 10% the right number to contract in that situation?

(In case you can't guess, I'm still 100% long.)
It isn't called a correction when it goes up.
