Please qualify the scoping or share the basis for your assertion "The middle class _do_ have most of the money...", as this pie chart [1] shows US middle class net worth is about 4%, not what I interpret as "most of the money". Either your scoping of your assertion is for a different nation (in which case it isn't pertain to this discussion thread of a US-centric news story), the scoping of the "most of the money" term is different than what I use, our scoping of "middle" is different, or there is something else I'm misunderstanding about your assertion. I don't consider the bottom 95% of households as "middle", and you'd have to get there to even approach rough parity with the remaining 5%, and by then that 95% is not much of a "middle" any longer, so I'm not clear what you consider "middle".

AMD hired the genius CPU designer Jim Keller, that is it.

His previous stint on AMD was when he invented AMD64.
> Car air-conditioners are not powered by heat from the combustion engine. They are powered mechanically by a belt ("serpentine belt") connected to the engine.

But that belt is powered by the expansion of gas that takes place inside of a piston, due largely to the increase in heat from combusting gasoline. Ultimately, an ICE engine is a heat-engine (like a steam engine or sterling engine, but different).
If you found this compelling (separate from whether or not you approve of it), you might enjoy The Emerald Mile, which is the story of the fastest recorded run of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. The team took advantage of similarly extraordinary conditions and pulled it off with incredible style in a dory.

Interwoven with that story are the stories of the commercial river trips that got caught in the perilous conditions and the struggle to save Glen Canyon Dam from catastrophic failure.

Edited to add: I don't want to oversell this or anything, but I'd say it's on my list of candidates for greatest story ever told with the likes of Miracle in the Andes and Touching the Void.

I think they factor in legacy stuff. There are lots of VB jobs in my area from companies desperate to maintain whatever horrid internal apps they built up 20 years ago.

Along the same lines, IoT depends heavily on C and even stepping out of that, pretty much every piece of silicon requires extensive C code to be written around it.

I still wonder about JS though. Billions of websites with JS and the JS gets rewritten every few years (or less during the framework wars period).

Well, it's a matter of taste, I guess. In my opinion any downcast that reliably distinguishes between valid and invalid values is type-safe. The behaviour of

if e := recover(); e != nil {
fmt.Printf("not a string %v\n", e)
}
}()
v := interface{}(5)
u := v.(string)
fmt.Println(u)

is well-defined: it will print "not a string", always.

I think basically every majorly used general programming language has better libraries than Node - which becomes problematic if your application needs to do something that you would normally expect to get by using a library - but the thing that Node has which in my estimation makes it better than almost every other language is I don't have to context switch when changing languages in between backend and frontend.

Ask HN: Lost Economic Theories: Printing Inflation-Free Money?
Money in itself is a symbolic instrument used by governments to drive economy forward. Some Economic theories/ideas which claim to allow printing inflation free money, by taking advantage of the differential mobility of money (under different spending policies) and increasing production before increasing consumption.

Thoughts on this and on fiscal policy design for inflation free money ?

Yes but in a renewables world Electricity will not necessarily be ready on demand. In that case the multiplier is irrelevant. Nor may it be available locally.

With iron burning you could theoretically create iron using solar power in Sahara and then ship that to the Netherlands for use in breweries.

Thus you can decouple where and when power is generated from usage.

How is this better than Flutter? If the answer is Kotlin > Dart, then what if Google comes up with a Flutter version that supports multiple languages (Dark/Swift/Kotlin)?

If I'm to pick Flutter vs Jetbrains/Jetpack Compose - I'd pick Flutter because it supports desktop, mobile & web. And Flutter's philosophy of rendering directly using Skia on all platforms seems to be a sound strategy.

Maybe making single page version would mean less requests to server? Nah, that would lower ad impressions too much, better to not serve content.
A similar problem exists in the C/C++ world: designing a library in a way that supports good dead-code-elimination isn't something that many library authors think about.

Interestingly plain C libraries often do this better than C++ libraries (e.g. too generous use of virtual-method-interfaces in C++ libraries, or making heavy use of C++ stdlib containers when simple C-style arrays would do as well).

The Unity engine also suffered from a similar problem: If you used a simple physics feature like a stabbing collision check somewhere in your code, the entire physics module was pulled in, even though the code needed for stabbing checks is only a few percent of that physics module.

This is why I'm a bit sceptical that improvements in the .NET "machinery" alone can solve this problem. You also need to restrict language features and select the right dependencies. This is a general problem, not just web-specific, it's just that reducing the output binary size typically isn't a high-priority problem outside the web.
You do of course have to resign that code every week or so or it stops working. You are also limited to the APIs Apple provides. And if you want to publish that code, you have to get it approved by Apple. Otherwise you are stuck distributing source code that other people have to pay X$ for a dev account and resign every 7 days.

All of this is not applicable to other platforms (maybe to consoles but I already commented about them on this thread).
Intel could also optimize their high end enthusiast dies by removing iGPUs, since virtually nobody uses or wants them.

Everyone knows the third hardest part of building a company is making products.

Everyone knows the second hardest part is figuring out what products to make.

Everyone knows the hardest part is finding customers who are actually buying your products.

I'm not saying the easier tasks are unimportant but if you don't solve the hardest problem your business won't go anywhere, no matter how good you are at the first two. Meanwhile someone with a good sense of business can often delegate the first two to someone else.
Everyone has different ideas about what matters; I care about continuity and stability. I cannot do a monthly dance of 'library blah is no longer maintained, please try library vlah which, by the way, is completely incompatible API wise!'. I need stuff that runs fine in a decade and where the maintainers respect backwards compatibility. I have not been let down by the past decades of JVM (and PHP but I never used many libraries there, so not a good example) and last decade of .NET in that regard. I carefully make sure i know my dependencies (read the code, check maintainers; ecosystems that have millions of tiny libraries cannot work for me; I like my sleep). Things simply work and they work, without much issues, after major upgrades of libraries and runtimes throughout the years. My business goals clash with fast moving things; my clients don't want them and I don't want to maintain them. And yet my software runs under the hood of 'hip' companies; they build fast moving stuff on top of it; I like it that way.

Actually, I believe these all have broad approval in the US, at least at a high level. When it comes to specific policies (e.g. who pays for the benefits) it becomes a bit more divided.

> Fifty-six percent of Americans think providing access to affordable health care coverage for all Americans is the responsibility of the federal government, and two-thirds favor the creation of a national, government-administered health insurance plan similar to Medicare that would be available to all Americans.[1]

> Sixty-nine percent of registered voters in the April 19-20 survey support providing medicare to every American.[2]

> Americans largely support paid leave, and most supporters say employers, rather than the federal or state government, should cover the costs.[3]

> Majorities of Americans say the federal government is doing too little for key aspects of the environment, from protecting water or air quality to reducing the effects of climate change. And most believe the United States should focus on developing alternative sources of energy over expansion of fossil fuel sources, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.[4]

I don’t think there’s any catch to it. AMD started again, went with a clean-sheet design, re-hired Jim Keller, then started under-cutting Intel with more cores and decent performance. It went from there really.

Unlike Intel who have micro improvements, each generation has been a big leap in performance so it’s been exciting for consumers.

Intel did something similar with their core2duos when AMD was on top around 12-13 years ago.
sorry but offering only Google or Facebook Logins are a no-go.

Try offering classical username/password or - at maximum - a GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket login, but not Facebook or Google!
Probably the single biggest reason is the fact that they use TSMC to fab all their chips, and TSMC has had much more consistent node updates compared to intel.

Intel's next generation cpu node was supposed to come out this year, and it's been pushed back (possibly due to covid) until the end of 2021 or even into early 2022. Meanwhile, AMD says they have 5nm around the corner.
Most interesting, and I suppose I'll get a copy. Thanks for posting this, and particularly the paywall bypass.

Just a warning, jetbrains has a huge marketing team.

I pretty much can't read anything on the internet about jetbrains without thinking about it being questionable.
I was thinking there might be something interesting here. Then I got to this line:

"I started a new job working on a large typescript React project. Vim couldn’t handle opening a TSX file larger than 50 lines without crashing."

And I was like LOL WUT? The author's case in this regard woudl be stronger if they helped us understand what was actually going wrong. Bad plugins? Conflicting macros? I'm pretty sure that simply opening a 50 line TSX file does not normally crash vim.
One AMD advantage is that it’s manufacturing basically a single part, not the large options of Intel. One part binned and combined into chiplet designs. 8 core to 64 core, its all the same part (1, 2, 4, or 8 of them). There is likely cost savings to this strategy as well.

I imagine they will do that on the GPU side as well at some point.
> High-efficiency electrolysis of iron oxide can store as much as 80 percent of your input energy in the iron fuel

Looks promising for home heating during the winter; especially promising for areas of the world where the winter day is so short that using solar + battery for heating is impractical.

> Using this kind of cyclical process to generate electricity could approach a theoretical efficiency around 40 percent

My heat pump (air based) has a COE of 2.7. If the electricity was stored at 40% efficiency, that means I'm getting back 108% of the energy if combusting iron is used to store the energy!

Note: Where I live we have an old oil plant that only runs during cold snaps; and a newer gas plant next to it that runs when renewables are scarce.
> If i go to China, and i'm white, will my white privilege stay with me?

Yes.

"It’s not uncommon for Chinese companies to hire foreigners, especially white Westerners, to represent them in public relations-type roles. Many Chinese equate Caucasian faces with business success and a global outlook.

For decades, products made in China but associated with foreign elements – such as a Western-sounding name or being endorsed by a Caucasian model – have been seen as superior."

One of the biggest advantage of Intel over AMD is naming.
Every new release of AMD I have absolutely no clue about the product line (if it's high end or low end or desktop/mobile), and I have no idea about the generation between two AMD processor whereas with Intel it's easy the generation is in the product name and the category is easy to understand (i3/i5/i7)

I don't know much about Jim Keller, but a CPU architecture is far too complex for a single person to possible be responsible for such leaps. You can't just take an average team, add one exceptional person, and get results this good. I'm sure he's exceptionally good, but focusing on Keller like that seems rather unfair to all the other engineers who made this possible.

Types don’t affect runtime performance unless you’re changing the algorithm. Maybe you’re arguing that correctly annotating certain algorithms is harder than switching to a slower but easier-to-annotate algorithm, but I’m very skeptical of this, especially since (in my experience) well-typed programs seem to be more efficient (easier for the compiler to optimize types that don’t change at runtime than those that do).

I don't really care how good emacs or vim are for text editing, I always crave a good IDE as text editing is just a small part of writing code. It may be because I'm using java/kotlin, and the stuff a good IDE can do there is much more than in some other languages. But the refactoring, find usages, debugging, building, etc is just so smooth and integrated I've become an IntelliJ fanboy.

I wonder how easy/difficult would it be to use it from other JVM languages. If I can use it from Scala, it would be great.
They both follow roughly the same scheme and even have the generation in the same spot of the name:

(i|Ryzen )[3579] (1 or 2 digits to indicate generation)(3 digits for model)(optional suffixes)
To be fair AMD literally copied the category scheme 3 generations ago and stuck with it (r3/r5/r7/r9).

This generation they've also moved to simplify further. The mobile chips with the same number were always one gen behind the desktop (mobile 4xxx ~= desktop 3xxx), but now they've skipped desktop 4000 both are back in sync.

Also Intel's naming scheme is getting complicated too. Base vs K vs KF Vs F. 10xxxgY vs 10xxxH/U on mobile are two entirely seperate tenth gens with lots of overlap.

> it's even worse if the person is very good with Python, because then they'd take non-obvious shortcuts

Yes, I noticed that, and that's one of the reasons I am not a big fan of Python as a developer, but I still think it is good for less experienced developers.

I didn't do Go, but it doesn't seem to serve the same purpose. My understanding is that Go is for developers, and big, maintained projects, especially in corporate environments (particularly Google) where consistency is important. Scientific code tends to be much smaller in scale.
Senior (1), I can see your point. The stoics who lived well before Russell certainly did not put a lot of value in the emotions of the person. I'm paraphrasing quite badly here, but Marcus Aurelius said something to the effect of "everything that will happen has already happened, there is nothing special about me, and it's natural for me to die and be forgotten."

I think Russell still paints a valid point, however you're right to think that perspectives were not uniform in the past, nor are they uniform now. I do believe, however, statistical awareness does add a bit more weight to Russell's perspective.

I have been using Jetbrains IDEs for a long time now, started with PyCharm and made my way through Webstorm to CLion for uni. It's great, but the RAM cost has been too high for me.
