The "economic uncertainty" sounds like something everyone would agree on. "Yes we are in uncertain times right now". Then again, at any point in time, there would be agreement that economy is in uncertain times. It is a meaningless argument because in my opinion it is always true.

Here is a Google Trend for "economic uncertainty", where nothing seems to have changed much except maybe little blip during Spring of 2020: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=economic...

Edit, found a link which actually does show heightened economic uncertainty: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/USEPUINDXD perhaps contradicting myself.

Solid implementation
Yes, if you want a good insulation you need a mechanical ventilation (with air heat exchanger) otherwise - besides mold - you will be living in a non-healty environment.

Even on non particuarly insulated houses our grandmothers and mothers did - at least once a day - change the air, opening windows for some fifteen minutes, there were reasons for that, and they remain valid.

Nowadays that tradition is largely lost (for whatever reason) and some way to change air needs to be provided (and it comes with a cost and complications attached).

I have seen too many houses built in the early days of energy saving (that began here roughly 10-12 years ago) with serious mold or however humidity issues, and even nowadays, when the issue is (partially) re-known, I see freshly built houses in class B or C (in EU they are classified with the best being A+ and the worst being G) without any mechanical ventilation provisions (houses in classes A/1/2/3/4 now largely have them).
I don't want get into a technical argument here, because clearly you are arguing with the amygdala now.

The one thing that I'd like to point out is that most of your arguments are either exclusive to Bitcoin (not crypto) and/or a social-economic-political issue that has nothing to do with the technology of crypto or blockchain.

Take your speculation of the identity of Satoshi. Let's say it's Le Roux. So what? First, he is in jail, which is more that we can say about a lot of other Criminal Lords. Second, having a bitcoin stash does not get him out of there. Third, even if you pull the "he can use his stash to order bad things to happen" argument you know that the same thing would be true if he was in control of a gold stash or a Swiss account. Lastly, even if managed to get out and managed to prove that he was Satoshi, he would not be a leader of a "new world order" were his ethics and morality would suddenly be glorified.

Also, you confusing Bitcoin with crypto leads to the interesting position where you sound both as a Bitcoin maxi and a Buttcoiner. Case in point: if you are right about "small cluster of criminals owning a lot of Bitcoin", there will be no need to "fight for scraps of the chain". What will happen is simply is that those will start using another chain. When Tether does go out in flames (which I am with you and I hope they do as soon as possible), Ethereum will go on. Fuck, even if you are against ETH you can still use ETC, so where is the part that people are being forced to adopt one chain over another?

To sum up: don't throw the baby with the bathwater. It's not because Bitcoin at this point in time has a lot of issues that crypto/blockchain should be considered "all hot garbage". Your attitude is reactionary and leaves no room for any kind of change.
A long time ago, when RISC was first posited, we all thought that RISC vs CISC was a big deal.

But these days, not really. Peel back and peer at the CPU and they all look and work much the same. The CISC implementations typically convert to their own simplified instruction subset internally, and the RISC crowd keep adding fatter and fatter CISC-like instructions.

So its not really an x86 instruction set problem. The legacy that Intel (and, a lesser extent, AMD) seem to struggle to overhaul is in their architecture, not the instruction set itself.

This is proven by the M1 doing binary translation of x86 and still being faster than the Intel chips.
I largely agree.

> Increasingly value is more in inter-personal, teamwork and collaboration, rather than conjuring up magic codes nobody else can relate to.

The problem is, this is exactly the area where bullshitters can do well. I do think that office politics and social strategy is the most lucrative one (e.g. winning allies, getting credit and recognition and visibility, generally buzzing and being in the center of attention), but I don't think it connects much to impostor issues. You may be winning at the social game while still feeling like an impostor.

Don't forget GlusterFS, example: Every single disk is a ZFS-pool on top of that you run your GlusterFS-Cluster, GlusterFS then looks for the redundancy and underneath you can export/import your pools aka Disks and or vdevs (if you need more performance).

You have any concrete examples? I'm not very familiar with swift, so I opened a random file in the project [0]. On the first glance it feels like the typical noisy OOP java code base. Probably most of it done with automated tools. Very weird were the named arguments repeating the same thing [1]. Would have been much shorter in Rust as it doesn't have named arguments (and IMO Rust should never get them). And on the first half of the file there are a bunch of POD struct definitions with a few init functions. In Rust, those POD structs where all members are public can be easily be initialized without having to create functions for it (but then you do have to name the "arguments", but for struct initializers I don't consider it to be a problem). So way less repetition.

The UK is still on a 100 year slow decline after its empire collapsed. The empire made it very rich. But without the empire, it will eventually stabilize to a value based on its internal productivity, which is perhaps only 10% of the empire wealth.

I therefore expect the UK economy to continue to shrink for the next hundred years compared to its Western European peers.

It was a joke to a degree. I am no mechanical engineer but my collogues often joke about how creating the donut is an important part of their unofficial curriculum to learn handling CAD. They often refer beginners to it, so "have you modeled the donut?" may be the first question new people hear.

They use different tools than blender for their mechanical designs, but I think it is actually a good introduction about the concepts of any modelling tool. It is also interesting for programmers that want to dabble with 3D engines because you know about the pipeline from modeling to rendering.
SeeLink – Looking for suggestions from the HN community

That’s the real kick in the nuts for intel isn’t it. I bet apple could have jumped last year or before and been ahead in native performance. But waiting meant they even beat intel at their own game, while massively handicapped.

I started off with an extremely primitive locked down programming environment. It's called lua and I used it to mod games.
Yes. I hope I wasn't misunderstood.

I've used Consul, Vault, Vagrant and Terraform so far and all of them are worth the time investment (Nomad is on the todo-list but for personal reasons I cannot play with it right now).

It'd be great if Hashicorp used less marketing bs and provided a clearer description... At first I glanced the Vault description, didn't really understand what it was supposed to do and walked away thinking "I probably don't need it". Which is bad because once I started using it I really loved it.

At least in this case a false positive is unlikely to have any negative effects other than temporary anxiety while awaiting further screening, which is vastly more preferable to a false negative.

The use of COVID PCR tests for "mass testing" of asymptomatic individuals in the UK has resulted in the number of positive "cases" corelating more closely with the number of tests performed than with other measures[1], such as the number of people in hospital or dying with respiratory symptoms. This has been used to justify more extreme lockdown measures.

There have been estimates of the false positive rate[2] but it is likely to vary widely as the tests are administered by untrained personnel and not stored according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Those who test positive in the UK are not usually given confirmatory tests as they are immediately required to isolate, resulting in a large number of current "cases" which may be false positives[3].

Are people considering insulating with carpet as an alternative to foam? No one: “I was going to use foam, until I realized that, for just a little more money I could put carpet in the walls.”

I used closed cell foam in one room that I tore back to the studs. It’s easily the most comfortable room in the house, so I like the product, but comparing the price of non-substitute goods seems not useful. Compare foam to other insulation products.
Probably, but it's one of those scenarios where the upside of early diagnosis outweighs the inconvenience of false positives, as long as the scores are way better than luck, or WebMD.
There's a certain monopoly that needs this distinction for the brainwashing of a large part of the population to be profitable.
I categorize that situation as mass hysteria, personally, another mutation of the 'red-baiting' McCarthy'ism that hasn't escaped American culture, which needs enemies to justify its trillion dollar investment in death machines. It served mostly as a mechanism for Americans to deflect from the real issues with their election: the Democrats fielded a corrupt, criminal candidate who could not defeat an also-corrupt, despicable ex-reality TV star. So, blame Russia.

And therefore, a perfectly good example for why people should demand sources be revealed when it comes to issues of state election security.

Otherwise, we will continue to be ruled by duplicitous subterfuge instead of verifiable facts.

Being Open Source developer myself, i know the feeling/stress of a community. However, being able to work on my working time almost exclusively on my projects, helped me to have a normal life after the working hours.

I imagine if someone is willing to pay a maintainer $1000/hr (implying they are that desperate to hire someone), the maintainer wouldn't need a line in the readme to hear about it.

As someone who tried their hand at doing paid "consulting" work on an open source project i contributed to (just very briefly when i was between jobs. I wasn't very succesful at it. Nobody offered me $1000/hr) most of the jobs were very small and there was a surprising amount of overhead between getting different jobs (maybe not that surprising, i was probably just naive). Decently big $$$/hr translated to less than i thought it would in practise.

> Maintainers can handle this problem however they like, but I have a hard time feeling sorry for someone who's not getting paid

What exactly are you feeling sorry for, and would $$$ alleviate the issue? People don't go into open source software to become millionaires, and money will not fix burnout.

> with the bonus that the expectation to do other people's shit for free is gone.

People will always try to get you to do shit for free, even if its a paid project by a company. Not being paid at least means you can tell off the people you don't like really easily.

For me the biggest problem with AMP was that it was not delivering comments on a given article. Often the mainstream journalists have an agenda and if you see that comments are disabled under an article, it is a strong indicator that it is a propaganda piece. If comments were enabled, however, you could see many counter opinions to a given article that would give you pointers where to look for the true picture of what happened. AMP makes for lower quality news and just because of that I avoid it, but it also cuts Ad revenue from the outlets that use it.

… why would it not run fine? Python 2.7 is “no longer receiving updates”, not “ceasing to exist”.

This is really interesting, reading more deeply into it, it sounds like it's been known for a while that there are metabolites that can be used to detect cancer (and the reserach seems to indicate that's true for lots of different cancers), and it seems this person is gaining time to market by simply proving the test works through observation rather than understanding which metabolites are present for which reasons - which is a more traditional approach others are taking. I don't know why they're talking about pepole having their own machine or processing the results in the cloud though. It seems like the underlying test - a few sensors exposed to a urine sample is something you could provide in a thousand different ways (test via mail, routine tests during doctors check ups) without waving yours and going "WooooOOoOOoo Clloooudddd" - although maybe that's the sort of thing you need to do to impress Dyson.

With the C/C++ and CMake Tools extensions installed, VSCode is an IDE that provides pretty much the same features as Xcode (for some features Xcode is ahead, and for others VSCode).

XCode needs about 12 seconds to start into a C/C++ project (on my mid-2014 13"MBP), while VSCode needs 3 (and yes I start into both fairly frequently from the command line). When actually working in the IDEs, for some things XCode feels slicker, for others VSCode. All in all, XCode really isn't a good argument in the whole "Electron vs Native debate" (and the same is true for VSCode vs Visual Studio btw).

I tried to use Windows Docker with the WSL2 back-end and the impression I got was that it was for people wanting to run scripts on windows which then run docker things.

I just run vanilla docker inside a Linux VM and everything works as expected now.
