There are already some excellent responses here.

I get the sense that you are still trying to figure out what role is ideally suited for you, is that correct?

If that's true, here's an out-of-the-box idea.. Why not get a job as a recruiter?

Assuming it pays insurance, it might give you a chance to stabilize your expenses, learn about what tech companies look for, and how they operate. You'll also build a network by helping others get jobs.

In your spare time you can work on a few open-source projects that demonstrate your competence as a developer, if that's what you want.

Good luck!

If you read past that next sentence, I admitted it won't actually cause such activities to completely cease. It just needs to be stunted so that the majority of such transactions are disincentivized.

Disincentivized enough that nobody would bother adding it to their retirement strategy or use it out in the open. The dark web will continue to do their own thing.

It's a chicken and egg problem. Generally though, I expect ARM to be cheaper in the long run as there are more companies that can build ARM chips. Even if the users of those clouds won't see the difference because of profit margins, it's in the interest of Azure, AWS, etc to push users towards the cheaper hardware. Already the fact they use ARM at all improves their situation on the table with Intel and AMD quite a lot.
Time to move to Alaska then.
Yes, however Kotlin builds on top of Java and its FFI to Java libraries is a selling feature.

It doesn't help much Koltin if those libraries can no longer be accessed with its FFI.
> Why isn't this opt-in?

Who would opt in if it was?

What benefit would there be to opting in?

Unless Google make it a benefit in search rankings in which case some (possibly many) will for SEO purposes, bit still not enough I'd wager (and the balance would be such that lower quality sites, that prioritise SEO over actually useful content, would be the majority of those that went for it).

This feels a bit like way-back-when, when BT and a couple of other UK ISPs toyed with a system that would insert ads into web content, sometimes replacing existing ads, simultaneously bothering their users (to make money out of them on top of existing subscription payments), screwing site runners (being associated with ads they had no control or even knowledgeless knowledge of, and potentially losing ad revenue), and screwing other advert providers.

If some flaw is discovered in SHA-256 or other parts of the algorithm, like how MD-5 and SHA-1 had weaknesses, overnight the value goes to zero. Or if a basic widespread exploitable bug was found in most bitcoin stacks like Heartbleed, that went unnoticed, boom, value evaporated overnight.

You can based the entire world monetary economy on a single point of failure like this.
That's the answer.

It encompasses every aspect: familiarity, usability, low learning curve, low time to market, enablement, and, eventually, greater margins.
Multi-track audio streaming platform (4-track simulator) PART II
2 - Internal Production
This app is also a DAW. It must foremost be a platform musicians come to create on because of its unique format - 4 track audio. However, musicians have no problem creating 4-track audio in the form of "stems" from their pre-existing DAW sessions. They will just have to export 4 mono files instead of 1 stereosummed file. So creators can upload stems of their existing songs to the platform if they want to. However, every user also has access to a digital version of a 4-track portastudio. The analog recording format of a "cassette" translates into a bit of cloud storage for the creators to put their music on. And with NFT technology, creators are able to create valuable products that can be sold and re-sold while ensuring they are compensated at every future transaction. This creates enromous incentive for creators to create/distribute on this platform.

3 - Marketplace
This app is also a distributor. Users are given a digital 4-track machine like any other actor. The beauty of the 4-track machine after all is its ability to record and playback the recordings. They are given a blank cassette to which they can record too, just like a creator. However, they can also buy "cassettes" from their favorite musicians. Why would they buy music from them when they can go on Spotify? What if they would like to mute the vocals because they find it hard to listen to music with lyrics while working on their essay? They find the drums too loud and want to lower the volume of just that track. They want to own merchandise from their favorite bands that will go up in value over time without having to buy a physical product.

This is my idea for a music streaming platform that can benefit creators and users alike. I would love to hear any thoughts and particularly if there are any players already working in this space!

Thanks.
Most of the people outside the US cannot afford an iOS device, so my guess is that missing Android there would be something else (Blackberry ? Windows Mobile ? who knows how it would have gone)
I used to care about news media, now I'd prefer that corporate media die due to the massive damage they've caused to society and lives.

They lie so blatantly that it's like they don't care that you know they're lying.

ABC is actually worse, despite being propped up by government money. It's stunning how you can manage to be worse than corporate news media.

I no longer consume media other than for business and tech news.

> Is there a clear consensus that this is the case?

There is a consensus in economics, that rent control is bad idea. Inasmuch as economics can be considered a science, supporting rent control is an anti-science position.

They were already using OpenJDK code snippets before that, it is really not wanting to.
I'd say for the web, the language is not as important as the ecosystem, in particular, as the frameworks and libraries for web development available.

In that regard, for a single developer or a small team your best options are Rails,Laravel or Django.

I prefer Rails because of its strong opinions, specially on frontend.

Once your idea makes you millionaire, you can start thinking about the purity and the universal beauty of Go, Clojure, Typescript, React, RxJS, lambdas, etc.
> When the externalities of your actions cause undue harm to others, your activities are no longer appropriate.

And, according to you, which criteria should we use to define whether some externality causes "harm" or not and whether that harm is "undue" or not?

If I decide to spend all my days playing games on my computer (which is wasteful energy-wise and probably does not contribute meaningfully to humanity's welfare), am I causing harm to others? What if I decide to cut down trees in my plot of land: am I causing harm to others? What if I decide to shower using potable water, thereby depriving other people from that drinkable water?

Is this harm "undue"? Should I be punished for this? If yes, how are you going to punish me and by how much?

Who decides this? Based on which criteria?

> Lest we forget, there's a thing in Libertarianism called the Non-Aggression Principle (aka NAP). If your actions are an aggression on the health and well-being of our planet and future generations, this would violate NAP.

1) So, me using resources I acquired/paid for as I see fit is "aggressing" someone else? Under this logic, most human activities could be seen as an aggression, in one way or another (by applying resources in X, you are witholding them from being used in Y, thus "aggressing" everyone who benefits from Y happening over X).

2) Under a Libertarian framework, how exactly do you expect to enforce any sort of anti-NAP rule or law? Hope you brought your army with you.

Your general idea requires people to agree on what is "harmful" or not and whether that harm is "undue" or not. Good luck with having people agree on that.

TL;DR: Even if we assume "bitcoin mining" to lead to externalities that cause undue harm to others (not just normal harm, but undue harm), the same applies to many (most?) other human activities... you can always frame any resource allocation as "depriving someone from resources". Under this logic, we should ban anything I don't see as useful, because reasons.

> the city could make money directly from housing rental

Unfortunately SF doesn't have a good track record in this regard judging by the Midtown Park Apartment fiasco: https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Residents-of-S-F...

I too think a Singapore-style development model would be worthwhile trying. That is, subsidizing development of housing that would eventually be sold and transferred to tenants, with or without restrictions such as market value percentage caps on resale, stricter rent controls if leased out, etc. It's almost the only viable way forward because there's simply not enough public funds, now or ever, to make a dent in the supply problem without leveraging private financing. That's the beauty of the Singapore model.

But for various practical (e.g. management expertise) and legal (difficult to constitutionally restrict the benefit to pre-existing city residents only) problems, to do this at scale would probably require the joint efforts of the Federal government, state, and city. Or perhaps some billionaires would be willing to step forth to try the experiment themselves, rolling property sale revenues into new projects.

Ultimately, though, this doesn't solve the NIMBY problem. And if you can solve that problem, there's less need and pressure for attempting big experiments like this.

You might be projecting. I'm not hysterical, just very emphatic about my points.
I'm in my early 40s. One of the best things I've done for myself over the last 20+ years is to lower my expectations for how responsive the world is and will be to my wants/desires/needs. It's a super fine tight-rope-walking line between having low expectations in some general sense vs assuming I need to be the agent in charge of my particular pursuit of happiness but this has been an exceptional way for me to approach the world. Best of luck. There's an arse for every seat. You will find something.

But state actors won't be able identity me individually, so I don't see the harm either.
And you can actually reset you FLoC id at any time.

I think advertisers (like Facebook) know that this will damage their revenue and doing mass brain wash to make people think this is harmful for everyone (Cambridge Analytica style).
Totally agree, combined with the fact that op seems to focus on big tech giants that are generally hard to get in to is a big red flag.

My advise is to find a smaller company in a "boring field" (think local schools, manufacturing and retail not google/apple) and try to get the most entry level job that's still gives hands on programming / sysadmin experience. Many small help desks let juniors have small side projects improving something specific for example.
Seattle's electricity rates are 1/3 below the national average apparently.[1] The water and sewage rates are some of the highest. But they include infrastructure costs other cities pay with tax revenue.[2]

King County commissioned the new plant. Seattle officials suggested taking less expensive steps first or building smaller plants.[3] I remember reading the local geology makes underground construction especially expensive. And probably you don't want to copy Dubai's working conditions.

You are a great example of a brilliant person who just made plenty of these types of mistakes. "Their", "you're", and maybe even "misteak" wasn't intentional either?

My point is that if the creator of an esteemed programming language is susceptible to common grammatical mistakes, then maybe the rest of HN should go easy on a young guy that is barely surviving and made some of the same errors in his plea for help?

I am careful with my writing, and due to my background I likely know more about English syntax than any other person here (uh oh, delusions of grandeur), yet I still make these mistakes too.

> Bitcoin isn't replacing anything. Not pre-existing fiat currency, not banks

How in the world do you say this? It's made significant progress in replacing both of these things. Just because it hasn't 100% eliminated all extant currencies and banks doesn't mean it's not making meaningful progress in that direction.
Inoreader lets you follow websites that don't provide an RSS feed. But it's a premium feature.
Look at the abject failure of Discourse. If it had been written in PHP then it would have completely replaced all current forum software. But the devs there hate PHP and went for a modern stack which is all but impossible to install except for tech professionals.

In other words, they chose a tech stack which suited them as developers, and not which suited the end users of the software.

End users love PHP because you copy the files into a folder. That's why it's so popular. That fact that you are talking about architectural "elegance" shows how removed you are from understanding the needs of the end user.
It is a great language to put food on the table.

Especially in Europe it is still the dominant backend language. If you want to have flexibility on where you work it is a good language to know.

You have the productivity of a scripting language but still great static analysis tools that help you out. It really fills a sweet spot that no other language does.

Yes, Node has Typescript but then you have a super slow compiler negating the scripting language benefits. With PHP I can change a file and see instant results. Also languages like Go make it hard to debug anything on an live server as it is all compiled.

PHP code is mostly boring. The coding style tends to be very pragmatic. Even bad beginner code runs great due to dead code elimination and the like. Shared nothing architecture makes understanding and debugging the system so much easier.

Hosting is simple and inexpensive. Beginner can just copy their files to an shared hoster and be done with it.

PHP is only a bad choice is you have really complex requirement and need a high level of reliability, which most Web projects don't. I think Haskell fills a good niche here. It is really underestimated. Also Elixir if you happen to build anything where you can play out its strength.
From 1700-2000 you just had whatever adverts everyone else had.

I don't know. Eth is switching to PoS. Tezos, cardano and many others are PoS. Is there any plan for bitcoin to switch to PoS? When there are a lot of more environmental friendly crypto alternatives, what should stop governments to ban bitcoin mining?
With a background in Java, both have bad codebases that is impossible to understand and maintain. That's because both have bad developers.

Simple, but expensive solution: Rewrite.

PHP is not perfect, but it works, and gets better every year. So should the developers who use it, because it's a good choice usually.
It's a good comment with the right instinct but for the wrong reasons. The biggest red flag is struggling with personal finance. You can't get jobs like the ones he wants if you live beyond your means and constantly land in hot water with money because people who are like that are at risk of turning to evil to make ends meet.

>My point being that Apple adoption of ARM is irrelevant for servers, Apple products aren't even available in most countries below tier 2 in an amount that developers would care.

(a) It's not those countries that drive trends (if they were we wouldn't have heavy frameworks and a 10MB SPA bloat as the norm in web development),

(b) ARM was already trending for use in servers (heck, even supercomputers),

(c) and Apple's transition means tons of devs in the West (and elsewhere, e.g. I've worked outside of Europe and US and everybody had a Mac in several different companies) will end up with an ARM chip and start influencing server trends

(d) At first many of those devs will go to ARM for personal server needs, like people use Digital Ocean and Linode and VPS providers for tons of personal/small business products today

(e) As for Windows, it wont stay out of the ARM game long (it already has a leg in). And even your developing world devs will easily find cheapo ARM computers for Linux/Windows.

Being opt-in is a feature, not a bug. Because of Monero's privacy not being opt-in, there are so many exchanges that simply blacklist it. But being a hybrid coin will mean that you can use privacy when transacting, but can disable privacy when you need to interact with exchanges.

> What Litecoin provides is far from what Monero provides.

Monero's privacy technology is a bit more nuanced than Litecoin, but again, this is also a feature, not a bug. Litecoin's technology being simple means it's more difficult to get wrong, and also allows for scalability overhaul improvements, which cannot be applied to Monero (read the MimbleWimble whitepaper for more info on this).

There's some evidence that around 2B years ago microbes decreased the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere so much by overpopulation that 99% of the biosphere died.
How about these lines then:

> Even if we stopped emitting greenhouse gases today, global warming would continue to happen for at least several more decades, if not centuries

or

> In the absence of major action to reduce emissions, global temperature is on track to rise by an average of 6 °C

There is not much major action going on (except for the electrification of vehicles which is being driven by commercial venture) so your hopes are just that, hope. Hope is not a strategy. It is quite far fetched to expect a correction when literally all data points are going the other way.

Your view does not reflect the common scientific consensus. We’re at a stage where changes are irreversible and all we can do is minimize and prepare for them, as seen in the article.

This is not fatalism, much to the contrary: I’m saying corrective action is much, much more urgent than you seem to believe and has to be started immediately. We don’t have another 30 years to sit on it.

The elitists who constantly hound on PHP's deficiencies as if developers haven't heard about them for the last 20 years are the same types of people who build a fancy side project that never sees the light of day because it's massively over-engineered in some obscure flavor-of-the-month language.

Your customers don't care what's under the hood beyond your ability to provide value to them. If PHP lets you ship faster and get your product in the hands of consumers, it's a good language.
