Consumer SSDs have endurance ratings in TBW which is terabytes written over the lifespan. They're often in the 100s with some drives over 1000. The faster drives also use MLC or TLC which has lower latency, better endurance, and higher performance than the more higher capacity QLC.

For example the Samsung 1TB 970 PRO (not the 980 PRO) has a 1200TBW rating with a 5 year warranty. That's 1.2M gigabytes written or more than 600GB every day, and will usually handle far more.

I think that's the point: we all know (most of) the gist of it. But the practical experience isn't something you can prep for in advance. You never know what tech you'll need to use in the real world. The "deep dive" comes when you get hired and the employer needs that tech. I'm not sure the employer gets that.

I'm curious if the spooks even bother with numbers station on radio any more, I commented on some reddit spam the other day that the string of words in the comment was so low-entropy it could literally have been used as a numbers station.

It's almost more suspicious to be listening to a radio at all these days, so unless you needed coverage of areas without internet access it would make sense to just dump the numbers onto a .onion or similar.

Well, if there was demand for faster cars there would be demand for faster roads. Frankly, if people really had an appetite to live in futuristic cities, they might move to newly built cities in Asia/ME, but it's not really happening. The top reason to fly is still "leasure purposes", which hardly sounds urgent and explains why people are happy with direct but slow flights. I actually think people's priorities are different and the futurism of the past did not prove to be a good predictor for the future.

A major shift is of course the end of the Cold war, which cooled down innovation in general, but it s still curious why digital tech did so much better.

It is also spending the health of the world's fragile ecosystems.
Well, speak for yourself. My own assessment is the opposite: that the NYT is highly likely to assume anything an 'oppressed minority' tells them is true, even if it's not, and meanwhile a company is highly likely to be more objective: they have every incentive to investigate complaints yet also not self-flagellate if the complaints are false.

That said, I think Popper specifically has done a decent job with tech stories in the past. So I reserve judgement. But only because of him, not because of the NYT.

Perl avoids this problem by having contexts, a bit like casts but with easier syntax, and by having separate numeric and string equality operators.
Normally companies don't publish details of internal employee doings and especially not complaints. That's just not done. What if they're mistaken about the contents of the article? I'd be furious if a company put details of some internal complaint I made on their blog, if I hadn't actually gone and tried to get it into the press.

Writing like that is bait, because it will generate money from marks without even verifying whether the claim is true. If I take the bait, then I'm a sucker, and I'd rather keep my money and not be a sucker. To turn phrases in that way is sensationalism, and while I'm sure it works for you, I believe it trades short term cash for long term trust. When the next sucker finds that he can't reproduce your results, there's a good chance he'll feel shafted.

Looks like for some 23andme customer, you can go to the Raw Data under your account and search for rs10490770. If that has the "C" variant, then you are almost certain to have the "G" variant of rs35044562 which puts you into the higher risk covid group. (don't take anything here as medical advice, just digging into the data to see if you can find out something helpful).

https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1067199/new-clinical-study-link...

"A new genome-wide association study has identified a section of chromosome 3 where particular alleles are associated with severed effects after COVID_19 infection. This was then confirmed by a clinical trial of patients. The reported risk SNPs are having Cytosine (C) at position rs10490770 and Guanine (G) at rs35044562. These are in "full linkage disequilibrium", meaning if you have C at the first spot then you almost certainly have G at the second. And you can now check for C at rs10490770 in some 23andMe, Family Finder, and Ancestry raw data files, or directly on 23andMe using Browse Raw Data.

You can search for rs10490770 in your or other people's 23andMe v2,v3,v4, Family Finder and MyHeritage v1, or Ancestry v1,v2 raw data. It's not on the GSA chip, and therefore not on 23andMe v5, FTDNA v2, or MyHeritage v2. It is on Ancestry v1 and v2."

So you can search your 23andMe data for rs10490770 by going to https://you.23andme.com/tools/data/

It’s not about what you can do or what your skills actually are... but how you market those skills.

A made up example:
I used to do Windows programming, progressed to websites and the back ends to support them, learned SQL and DB optimization, sprinkle some 3D programming in there.

Generalist? Nope. UI expert with 20 years of developing UIs across multiple platforms. Additionally, I spent time learning some of the back end like services and SQL so I can better understand the interface between the UI and the back end developers.

The ISO 21482 symbol isn't precisely an update to the trefoil. It's got a more restricted use case -- it's only intended for use inside devices which contain large radioactive sources, as a warning to technicians (or scrap-metal dealers!) to not go any further. It's not meant to be used anywhere that would be visible during normal operation.
Yeah i think that makes a lot of sense - the main benefit on RE though is in the tax shield if you invest DIRECTLY so the tax benefits can pass through, vs. a REIT. The depreciation recapture can be avoided if you handle it in the correct way, e.g. 1031 exchange or hold.

But I agree there's more risk and it's hard to be consistently on the winning side.

On the stock market front, what's your current approach allocating things? e.g. Do you do more like a wealthfront / betterment type of portfolio, or something more sophisticated? Would like to learn more on that front for sure.

Ask HN: Feedback please: open-source non-SaaS accounting app for solo operators
Hi,

I'm building an app and I'd like some review/feedback/constructive-criticism please.

It's an accounting app targeted at solo operators (for example, freelancers, consultants, contractors, side gigs etc). Due to the niche target market, it only has a subset of the functionality found in other accounting apps, but this also means that's no unnecessary clutter. In other words, it's stripped down and simple, but (hopefully) fully functional for the target user.

Also, it's non-cloud/non-SaaS in the sense that ... the data file is stored on the user's computer instead of being stored in the vendor's cloud and it's in an accessible open data format. In other words, the user has full control over their own data.

For various reasons, I (hopefully?) think there is a market opportunity for non-SaaS entry level accounting software.

If you're interested, here are some links:

Web edition of the app: https://www.gigobooks.com/webapp
Interim website (work-in-progress, needs more marketing and content): https://www.gigobooks.com
The open source / desktop edition of the app: https://github.com/gigobooks/gigobooks

Some questions to spur discussion ...

* Do you think it has enough functionality for the target market/user? What other additional features might be needed?
* If you are a target user, would you use such an app? If not, why not?

Any comments, criticisms, questions etc. are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts!
Doubtful the NYT would spend >2 months on a story about one relatively small company. Journalist time isn't free. The timing does look very odd and let's face it, the NYT has a lot of people who would absolutely hate a tech firm standing up to their agenda in the way Coinbase has done. Having successfully politicised the NYT they'd certainly feel entitled to do the same everywhere else. The 100% idpol nature of the story also lends weight to this theory. I very much doubt that Coinbase is actually racist against blacks (er, sorry, Blacks). Never encountered a tech company that was.
I'm questioning if these two rules are good defaults.

I only read about io_uring without yet having a chance of actually using it so take this with a grain of salt:

I read that io_uring has two modes, one where you signal via a system call and another that uses memory mapped polling.

https://unixism.net/loti/tutorial/sq_poll.html states:

> Reducing the number of system calls is a major aim for io_uring. To this end, io_uring lets you submit I/O requests without you having to make a single system call. This is done via a special submission queue polling feature that io_uring supports.

The other issue with a lockdown like that is even if it were legally possible it would be a nightmare to administer.

Centuries of free travel between states has made the borders very porous and mostly just a legal concept. There are so many minor road crossings between, say, New York and Pennsylvania that it would be impossible to secure.

Teen taal means three claps. The idea is that you can divide 16 beat cycle into 4 parts. The first, second and fourth parts are played with the left/bass tabla, while the third without.

Wow that’s one of the coolest things I never learned about until now
I like this idea very much. Although given the incumbents and their aggressive pricing, it's hard to eventually productize something and build a business, if that's your goal.

The space is also complicated with regulations that are not easy to translate from one country / state to another. So an open source approach may not work perfectly.

However, I'd love to see some Open Source options that can piggyback on existing services, e.g. QBO api, so we can avoid paying the advanced features that are expensive, a lock-in and leaves something to be desired for customizability.
The community does a pretty decent job of supporting other Apple hardware; often vastly outperforming default MacOS (or Windows in many tests). Graphics is a particularly soft target, eg: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=macos101...

I know —and apologies for the originally unintended, but retrospectively way-overused pun— I've compared an Apple to an orange there, and I realise it's very different hardware... But it's also not. It mostly depends on access. If developers can shim in a loader, and it doesn't require soldering, it'll be popular and get attention. These chips look too great to ignore.

Not my downvote, btw. Hopefully they'll toss an opinion in too.
Perfect is the enemy of good.

Apple needed to get the platform to the market and what they've done so far is everything they needed to do. They haven't even updated the whole line yet, so just give it time and let them improve the basics first (no, virtualization isn't "the basics")

> not very proactive in learning or side projects

Why do side projects matter for a job? Learning, maybe, but they both point to "extracurricular" time spent programming, which shouldn't affect someone's hiring. I've been on hiring panels and have pushed specifically against that mentality, because I strongly believe what a person is interested in outside of their work shouldn't affect my decision to hire them, as long as they're competent during the interview.

io_uring does allow to remove a lot of the syscall overhead, without polling. Many operations can be submitted with just one syscall. And ready completions can be consumed without a syscall at all.

Additionally, compared to using epoll/select/.. for network IO, one can just submit a send/recv, instead of patterns like recv -> EAGAIN, epoll, recv

Ah the funny things we resad about in 2020.

In 1985... yes I said 1985, the Amiga did all I/O through sending and receiving messages. You queued a message to the port of the device / disk you wanted, when the I/O was complete you received a reply on your port.

The same message port system was used to receive UI messages. And filesystems, on top of drive system, were also using port/messages. So did serial devices. Everything.

Simple, asynchronous by nature.

As a matter of fact, it was even more elegant than this. Devices were just DLL with a message port.
