As someone who's lived through significant inflation in his lifetime, American's are ill prepared. In my experience, the government will do everything possible to hide the fact that inflation is even happening. "Official measures" of inflation won't begin to capture the problem until the damage is already done. People buying debt at these absurdly low interest rates have, quite frankly, lost their minds.

There's not many options to protect yourself either. Stocks? Maybe, but a lot of companies will go bankrupt. Gold? Maybe - but if you're investing in paper gold it likely won't be there when you need it...if you're attempting to hold physical it can be easily stolen.

Preparing for this the second time in my life, I'm opting for Bitcoin and real estate (with nice fixed-rate mortgage debt to purchase). Fingers crossed...

Less than quarter of this article is actually about sourcing rare-earths from discarded computers (hydrogen-processed neodymium magnets in hard drives). The rest focuses on the existing sources and needs to build up new, and less vulnerable to disruption, supply chains in advance of a major increase in needs for rare earth (article suggests a doubling by 2025).

As a Web Developer, it's crucial to make your mark on the market. Thinking about that, and trying to get the best out of the social isolation caused by the global pandemic.

If you make a claim the onus is on you to provide evidence. I did google your claims and the source of your Nov. date comes from articles with an unnamed source claiming that the NCMI gave reports in November. If you don't want me to misrepresent the source of your claims then provide them yourself.
Platform as a service. It's like a step up in abstraction from IAS, infrastructure as a service. The lines begin to blur near the edges though, it's a marketing thing really. Just like "cloud" means many different things to many different people but it's a simple one syllable word perfect for brochures.
FWIW I wrote this on my blog the other day which supports your observations from another angle:

> I have seen developers starting to use Linux machines for a few years already. It kind of reminds me of how it felt like when devs started to adopt Macs around 2005/2006 or so when Ruby on Rails became popular. And just like when Macs became popular, mainstream adoption seems to follow: I've already seen a sales guy running Ubuntu Linux (by his own choice) over a year ago.

Note: the driving forces aren't exactly the same, but the feeling is reasonably similar in my opinion.

Also I should note that the adoption of Linux among sales and other non-devs has surprised me.
> Apple didn’t release devices with Retina displays until they could be confident that such devices were at least no worse than non-Retina devices in pretty much any regard

That's... not how it works. More pixels means more CPU, GPU and memory cycles to fill them and more DAC cycles to read them out and scan them to the display. That's just fundamental.

There is a big difference between defending a basic human right (e.g. a murderers right to be judged fairly) and a company explicitly putting illegal clauses in a contract to bully their current and past employees. An ethical lawyer would (and should) pick up the first case, and advise the company to remove that clause in the second case, because its illegal and not enforceable, with its only purpose is to bully people.
I believe AMD has an incentive to give Apple a good deal. They got a lot of attention from some areas for their new processors but most non technical users are still Intel first. If Apple starts selling with AMD it could boost their image and help them massively in other areas (e.g. servers, workstations) as well.
As someone who's mother died of a rare/poorly understood cancer after fighting it for 10 years and multiple experimental treatments, and met others in similar boats along the way (support groups), there are tons of niche medical conditions that science hasn't even bothered/had the resources to investigate.

Is a beef-only diet a good idea for the general population? Probably not. Could it be ideal for people with extremely rare auto-immune conditions that have an allergic reaction to virtually everything else? Sure, and that existing doesn't sound crazy to me at all.

I've noticed a trend where scientifically minded people tend to get hung up the "proven" at the expense of the "plausible", forgetting that everything they rightfully treat as proven once could have been dismissed in a similar manner. Real people in the real world have to make decisions based on nothing more than plausibility all the time, and I don't see why diet should be any different. Particularity if none of the "proven" solutions are working for you.

Put another way, there's a difference between "the evidence says this is wrong" and "there is no evidence that this is true".
Modules are my favorite part of js (and ts, mostly). One file = one module with all imports/exports explicit is so incredibly right. `git grep`ing to figure out which other file a random implicit import came from is a real PITA.

I've seen this headline for a decade. Is there anything that makes it more believable now?
”Service” to me is just ”delivery of something with a specific scope and a defined contract”, not so much about who delivers said ”service”.

Many IT depts would do themselves a massive favor to deliver actual services instead of “just infra and some stuff thrown on top” and call it service delivery.

Tools like in this link can help, but a big part is simply about automation and delegation/self provisioning.

Isn't buying taking out a mortgage putting you into debt?
They had. Japan printed a lot more in terms of GDP. In fact U.S. debt is pretty much average looking for the developed world.
Another way to think of it (sadly) is that companies that are over-levered can do well, since their income stream is in real value, but their debts are in dollars. If you want to cynically think America is kleptocracy for the elite, and the elite are heavily invested into over-levered companies managed by PE firms, then you might even expect this to happen for their sake.
>I usually work on problems that requires a lot of thought, a lot of back and forth between solutions, a lot of a reach this state where stuff kinda work but it is not what I need yet and I am not sure it is gonna be in the final version.

How do you manage this without source control? The back and forth? Trying an experiment and then throw it away? Sounds like the perfect use case for private branches.

>I must say that in smaller and simpler codebase than the one I usually work with it might be possible.

On the other hand, if I'm working a large and complicated changeset I don't know how I'd keep the WIP organized if I couldn't use source control privately in the process of iterating on that changeset.

Doing the work in a private branch means I can frequently rebase on master so merging at the end is a cakewalk, I can also switch back to master to start a new branch to work on something else.

>reach the final version and I commit all together
>Do you guys come back and fix everything after?

I make incremental commits on a private branch as I'm working. As I go it might not look like much more than an "undo" history, maybe a few abandoned branches. When I want to merge I'll do an interactive rebase. Reorder the commits to group similar work, in their implementation dependency order, then squash them into a set of logical commits and write some decent commit messages. It doesn't take too long, I do it as part of reviewing my code changes before sending them to the whole team. For example, my backburner task right now has 78 commits made over ~2 weeks, and will be squashed to about ~4 commits when I'm ready to merge.

This is definitely not true. Macs were much slower UI wise than PCs. Most PCs came bundled with graphics cards. Most Macs used integrated graphics. It was especially bad in the 90s.
Netflix would have made more sense certainly but I suspect they would have "pruded" it to death given their failed attempts and interference with Apple TV over things which may offend utterly irrelevant demographics.

There have been a few models of Windows-ARM snapdragon-based computers for a little while now. Somehow, mindblowingly, they didn't bother to ship the first ones with a native Chrome port (only Edge). Now that they have native Chrome, and Apple is moving macbooks, I wonder if the tide will shift towards ARM for all laptops?
Sure, but it didn't become mandatory and institutionalized until fairly recently.
I would say it's one of those ruses where it's easy to get basic results, but you can spend (tens of) thousands of dollars and years of learning and refinement to achieve anything approximating error-free results.

It's a lot of fun though. Diving into SDR really opens up a new dimension of reality to you and lays bare the magic that can happen when you are able to directly apply complex mathematical constructs to real data coming out of a wire attached to, well, nothign.

I got a little obsessed with it actually and had to step away from it for a while lol.
k8s is nice, yes. But, by its age, no more standardized now, than MySQL was 15 years ago.

k8s also adresses a very small portion of the market. If you have to scale, yes, you might need k8s. Chances are, you don't. Really.

I stopped counting the (supposedly big) customers that burnt themselves into k8s when they logistically need not to, and only brought organisational issues on them.
As a European I really don't want the euro to replace it as the world currency, but I don't think you're fair in your evaluation, the euro hardly has an history of fiddling depending on today's need. Even what it had was very small compared to the others dollars included, and still matched the need to stabilize inflation at 2% as much if not more than the need to help the underlying countries' economies.

And I say that as someone who believe we should have used it more to get out of the slump after 2008. Your comparison is incorrect on that point.
> Any big macOS game would have an iOS gaming equivalent.

Lol. That isn't true, in any way. There is virtually no commonality.

> Other recent more desktop like games are probably using a big game engine like Unity/Unreal with Metal support and probably also only need a recompile.

Do you really think that's how game engine support works? Heck, if that was remotely the case why does Metal get so little support with titles even on x86?

> And older games which are less likely to be recompiled can likely run perfectly fine even at 50% performance on a new ARM MacBook which is very likely way faster than the latest non pro intel MacBooks.

Any game with graphics performance is not going to run at 50% performance through an emulator. If it's done very well it might run at 20%, much more likely 10%. A "way" faster ARM MacBook isn't going to run five times faster than the Intel equivalent. Different thermal windows aren't magic. A 10% performance improvement is unlikely.
The point is to have a large amount of fixed-rate debt that'll evaporate due to inflation. If there's another asset class I can borrow money at a fixed-rate of 3.25% I'd love to hear it.
Yeah, I've transitioned my main Mac laptop to Catalina, but I keep my Mini on Mojave because it does happen every once in a while that I need to run a 32 bit app. I can't afford to be all in on Catalina at this time.
> You can't really get good advice from strangers on the internet

I really wish more people would take this to heart.

I can't even begin to comment on the OP, as I am sure there's a lot of stuff left unsaid.

My experience with "My work is the valuable part" is that it is often extremely one-dimensional, and fails to take into account a lot of "soft" factors, like marketing and brand-reinforcement; which are incredibly valuable, and look like "fluff" to hard-core developers.

That said, I do think that "non-people" people can be abused and treated quite badly by slickers and carpetbaggers.

Sounds like this is a very long-term relationship that has benefitted both parties, so I would gently suggest that spraying it all over HN may be adding gasoline to a fairly minor bit of flame.
The first time I've used weed I had one too. I still do not enjoy weed. I've microdosing mushrooms and then I was way more relaxed when I took a large dose for the first time. I was scared in the begginning, and sensing an increase in my anxiety because my GF was watching me sober, then I excused myself and laid down on the bed, watching the sky with music on the earphones. I've concluded that I can't have a nice time with drugs having people with me.
I've said it before but I really love code-server. Recent releases have been a bit messy (change of deployment model didn't really work) but it's amazing. I got it running on a $5 VPS to access my dev environment from any machine without the need to sync anything (no more forgetting to commit code before I leave for a trip).

As long as I'm <10ms from the VPS I can't tell any difference between code-server and native VSCode. I really hope their business model is successful.
It still would not be stealing.

Top Tesla investor bets on flying taxis, taking stake in German start-up Lilium
I'm assuming that they are pre-Filter, but not the first. From the moment they develop radio technology, they immediately start receiving signals from dozens of existing alien civilisations. This causes them to think "shit, we really have to do something about this."

Some of those civilisations may already be far more advanced, and have taken to the stars tens of thousands of years previously. No matter. The interstellar mass driver is a weapon against which no defense can be erected. No level of technology can track a 1-meter-wide iron sphere as it moves through interstellar space at near-lightspeed. If you're on the receiving end of a volley, the insanely blueshifted, tiny spec of light from the projectile won't arrive until shortly before the projectile itself. To an observer, it would appear as if all the planets in the system suddenly started exploding. Few systems would even be able to get a warning cry out, and those who did would be unable to provide actionable intelligence on where the attack came from. Even if they could provide actionable intelligence, their warning would spread out at light-speed. If there were listeners to receive it, then those listeners would also presumably have attracted the attention of the Fearers -- and a fusillade of projectiles would already be inbound towards them, almost immediately behind the warning itself.

Imagining such a scenario, the Fearers say to themselves: "If we don't do something like this, then surely it's only a matter of time before somebody else does. And we'll have no way to see it coming. So the first species to build interstellar mass drivers will, inevitably, be the last species left standing. Therefore, we have no choice but build and use them ourselves."

In other words, they do unto others not because they're bugnuts paranoid, but because they have a not-altogether-unrealistic apprehension that if they don't, others will do unto them.

This isn't Mutual Assured Destruction as we know it. What made MAD work was the fact that enemies could observe each other in realtime, and that retaliatory strikes would be possible. Neither is the case here. The Fearers are convinced that the only rational course of action is to assume others will attack someday -- if they haven't already -- and therefore their attack needs to be launched immediately.
Early satellites, of which there may still be a few active, had analogue sensors and analogue modulation.

Can't AES encrypt analogue... Sure, various analogue scrambling schemes are possible, but they degrade the signal and add a lot of risk to the mission so theres a good chance they weren't used.

> a business is acquired for the future value it will bring to new owners. The question there is how much is your future contributions are worth to the business. If you are not needed or are easily replaceable and the product is turn key, then your value is zero. If your contributions are needed, then your value is very high and you should try to structure the future relationship accordingly.

On a related note, if the prospective buyer is likely to value your future services highly, the lowest friction way of getting decent money is likely to be focusing on ensuring any buyout has a high salary/earnout clause for you [rather than trying to renegotiate the original agreement]. That's especially the case if the buying company is used to paying some of its developers or product managers significantly higher salaries than your current income anyway.
The biggest problem with the dollar is America's ruthless crackdown on dollar transactions, examining everyone and criminalizing those who break the rules.

That isn't bad, the problem is you never know who's going to be in the bad box. Iran, Cuba had agreements with Obama administration and trade was opening up then a few years later you go to jail for making dollar payments with Iran see Huawei exec. Places like Indonesia, Saudi, Turkey, Argentina, Egypt are sometimes friends then suddenly enemies. I dont know why they will continue to want to hold dollars. I think if we see another 10 years of the Euro holding together and/or some good crypto currency dollar will fade.
Why don't those titles have a bigger representation on MacOS now given Catalyst?

The answer is that they're not the right types of title for the Mac demographic, and that the business model isn't there to justify the porting costs (and moving to ARM does very little reduce those, which are mostly UX related).
There is, no doubt, a dollar crash coming at some point in the future. That's kind of like saying a recession is coming; always true, but without know when, it's not to useful. I have read articles saying that the dollar's days of special status are ending, for at least 20 years now. Someday it will be true. Don't bet on it being soon.

Given that none of oil, bitcoin, euro, yen, yuan, etc. seem to be skyrocketing in (dollar-denominated) price, it doesn't seem like the current environment is any different in this respect. Gold is the only store of value that seems to be going up in dollar terms in a major way. I don't doubt that gold is a good store of value, but I don't think (for logistical reasons) it will displace the dollar any time soon.

Someday, it will be true. Is this the time? I suppose it could be. But we keep hearing this, every few years for decades now.
