Building a new house is a different situation than closing your terrace or building a pool and involves much more permits. You will not be allowed to contract tap water, electricity ot a telephone line to have internet without those.

Permits for modifications in extant buildings can be also hard to obtain if the area is historical and buildings are singular, old or protected for some reason. Specially if you want to mess with the load that the structure must stand. Out of this areas there is often a 'permit free' period in Abril-May for doing small repairs and repainting.
There's a gold rush to accumulate ETH for staking reward payouts, and there is a new fee burn mechanism that will make ETH more scarce than BTC on a production basis. Demand for ETH seems to also be driven by DeFi products, NFTs and huge enthusiasm for the upgrade to PoS (July/Aug).

I don't have an ETH position, but this is my understanding of price action.

I never understood why Yahoo got so wrapped around the axle with the search engine business. I used to use Yahoo a lot to start my web browsing and I liked the fact that it wasn't a search engine. They provided broad categories that you could click on and you could keep drilling down to more specific categories until you found relevant websites. Not always the best way to search the web but it was great when you didn't know exactly what you are looking for. They could have easily continued to categorize and curate the web that way and provided a nice alternative to search engines, especially for non-power users. In addition to that Yahoo had so many successful components back in the day that had they spent even a modicum of money and development effort they would have continued to be a significant force on the web. Things like Yahoo Travel and Yahoo Groups still don't have a decent alternative these days. I still mourn the loss of some Yahoo Groups I used to participate in. Yahoo Finance was once one of the best places on the internet to research stocks and investments. Yahoo Mail was ahead of Gmail for many years and only through years of neglect finally let everyone else catch up, their lack of spam filtering was what finally killed my Yahoo mail account for me. Yahoo Briefcase could've been Dropbox or Google Drive 10 years before Dropbox existed. Heck Yahoo even had news aggregation years before Google did. Yahoo dominated fantasy football for many years. The fact that they couldn't grow and monetize any or all of these successful components was simply due to a complete lack of vision and leadership.
ELI 5: why do most locks not have security (spool, mushroom, &c) pins? Those are absolutely harder for a beginner to pick, and also provide a measure of security against bumping.
Location: Ottawa, Ontario

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Currently knowledgeable about Python (including Flask, pyside, and pandas stuff) and emacs lisp. Willing to learn anything though.

CV: Have two things I can offer, first as a programmer and second as an accountant (I am a CPA with years of public accounting experience).

1) I currently no formal coding experience. I'm a CPA who has always had an interest in programming and tech who is sortof exploring a career change. I don't have any formal education in CS, but I have been working on a side project with some friends of mine that may or may not go anywhere. I have experience using version control with other people, have contributed (minor) changes to open source projects. I have been using debian on desktop for probably about ten years, as well as maintaining a server. Very comfortable in a command line. I also use emacs as my editor of choice, have fooled around with making some major modes and stuff. This is to say, I'm looking for an entry-level job but without the formal education.

2) My actual work experience is four years of work experience in auditing companies. Very knowledgeable about anything financial, would be a good fit for a controller like position, internal audit, etc. Also willing to consult if you have financial reporting or maybe (Canadian) tax questions. Also maybe interested in other finance related jobs if you're looking for a CPA who is interested in tech as well. If interested, please let me know and I'll link you to my Linkedin profile.

> iterative compiles are faster than most of my golang compiles

Maybe you're comparing apples to oranges here. I've worked professionally with both Rust and Go for years now on a variety of real world projects, and I've never seen a similarly-sized Go codebase that compiles slower than a Rust one. If you're comparing incremental Rust compilation to first-time Go compilation, maybe they could be competitive, but... Rust is incredibly slow at compilation, even incremental compilation.

Yes, using lld can speed up Rust compilation because a lot of the time is often spent in the linker stage, but... that's not enough to make it as fast as Go.

YMMV, of course, but... my anecdotal experience would consider it disingenuous to say that Rust compile times are an advantage compared to Go, and I'm skeptical that Rust compile times are even an advantage compared to the notoriously slow webpack environments.

Rust is good at many things, but compilation speed is not one of them. Not even close, sadly. "cargo check" is tolerable most of the time, but since you can't run your tests that way, that's not actually compilation.
Or harder, when you assume yourself to be enlightened after the first time, with no further work required.

I got to know too many of such people.
> Can you honestly say you'd prefer to be debug thousands of lines of SQL versus the usual <100 lines of Python/pandas that does the same thing?

That's fair, I was using the opportunity to complain about pandas and didn't point out all the problems SQL has for some tasks. What I really want is a dataframe library for Python that's designed in a more sensible way than pandas.
FWIW I'm bummed it didn't work out. I had a WiMax phone and even with the spotty coverage, back then (~2012?) my speeds were as good as my current broadband speeds (>200 Mbps) which was phenomenal for sprint. I even considered getting a dedicated WiMax internet provider at the time. Amazing how fast that came and went!

OO can be a tree, as well as pretty arbitrary graphs. As has been said for over a decade, prefer composition over inheritance. There are cases where inheritance is really cool, but the main point of OOP is encapsulation. It can enforce class invariants.
I have high hopes for Ethereum. Bitcoin has no plans to ever move away from the "burn arbitrarily increasing quantities of electricity" approach to security. Ethereum is willing to experiment, and is willing to be pragmatic in the pursuit of scaling while still not sacrificing decentralization/uncensorability.

There are a number of innovations coming out on smaller alternative chains, but the Ethereum community still seems humble and nimble enough to adopt any of those innovations that work. That combined with its strong network effect make it likely to win.
>Psychedelics don't numb and distract liked drinking alcohol. They do pretty much the exact opposite.

This is only very generally if at all true. Psychedelics can numb and distract. Psychedelics can dissociate people further from their feelings. Psychedelics can also make people more aware of their feelings. Psychedelics can make people in touch with their feelings. But it really varies on a case by case basis. It depends on the person, the drug, the particular situation, and so on. A drug that gives one person a dissociative bad trip can give another person a minor escapist experience and can give yet another person a powerful, beneficial, emotionally moving experience.

> i dont think i ever patronized someone because of gender

Do you habitually call any of the men you work with "boy"?
On places HN people tend to focus on the high stakes kind of bugs that cause severe problems. But the living reality for most users is probably different. It is a constant low level of issues. More an annoyance than a threat. Glitch is a good word for this. For example I get kicked out of the work VPN. My cell providers app doesnt show my balance and just spins. Outlook search doesn't give any results. Small errors every day.

No I don’t think it’s education. I think it’s a mistrust of a system that has screwed people over for money many times in recent memory.

What matters is the interface and UI, and the power usage. The android SDK is designed so that app developers have constraints that reduce power usage.

I agree that users should have more power over their hardware, but it would be at the risk of non power users letting malware infecting their device.

But I really disagree that desktop and mobile are similar.

Saving energy on a lithium battery requires more than just better batteries, it also requires developers to make apps that are very lightweight in energy, and that's why android is how it is, to prevent developers to release apps that drains battery and ruins the android experience and the brand.

And what would be the point of having linux apps on a mobile device? That doesn't really matters for users, it's the same problem with linux desktop and the quality of FOSS. What matters is having an OS where users can do what they want, but it's more complicated on android because... batteries.

Also, security is though problem that is solved with the google play service. Yes, it's centralized and users cannot do what they want, but the upside is security.

Well, again, the discussion isn't about an iPhone being a general purpose computer or not. It's about what happens if two sides want to engage in an otherwise completely legal business transaction(company A making apps for iOS and wanting to sell them to person B), and Apple saying "no, actually, we need to give you permission before you can do business together, and actually we'll have 30% cut from that thanks". That's where the issue is. Apple can safeguard their devices to the maximum possible extent - that is, to the point where they do not stand in the way of legitimate business transactions happening.

I've used this comparison elsewhere - it's as if a company X was making car mats that fit Mercedes models - and Mercedes wanted not only to have a say into whether company X should be allowed to do this, but also wanted a 30% cut from every transactions. Literally decades ago we made laws to prohibit manufacturers from doing exactly this. The question being asked now is - why not software platforms? What makes them so special? And yes, as a software programmer, I understand the technical issues behind this. And those issues can be presented to the courts - but as a society we need to decide if this is something we want to allow or not, this is what's happening now.
It just never really worked well for me in a multi-monitor setup with two screens and a docking station... Now, Windows itself is quite terrible with this and often moves windows between screens for no reason. For example, when primary screen takes a second longer to come back from sleep, all windows float to secondary one, at least that is what I guess is happening.

Now, with ConEmu, that also caused some rendering defects and I would have to hide/show window and sometimes reopen tabs to get it to work again. If I understand correctly, ConEmu does some sort of off screen rendering hack with conhost and then just synchronizes the bitmap to where its real window is. Though I may be completely wrong and that is not how it really works. But these issues have never occurred with WT.

Otherwise, I had nothing to complain about with ConEmu, especially its UAC handling is awesome. Unless we could have proper sudo on Windows, of course. That would be even better UX :)
I would consider it, but in light of the way my municipality runs its other services (water, trash, road maintenance, transit, etc.) I'd be hesitant. In other words, they have no demonstrated record of competence to stand upon.

I really don't see the value in it. Electronic payments could be better in some ways but they seem to work fine and using normal ledgers in a db is much more efficient than distributed POW or whatever.

Lack of governmental control seems like a fantasy, so long as you live somewhere with a government they will exert control over money.

Will freely admit that I'm upset I didn't run a computer program 10 years ago a get free money becoming a millionaire for no effort, I have a friend that did just that and just didn't see the value back then just like now so I passed. I really underestimated how far something so irrational could go.
A lot of PE follows a well-understood playbook. Buy a player in a settled industry, cut costs (== reduce maintenance, make the workforce cost less, etc.) and milk it for as long as possible.

I did the same thing as you and had the exact same experience. S2 made the mapping trivial, and I spent nearly all time on the word list.

I was really surprised to find there's not much out there in the way of cross language most commonly used word lists. I assume such lists are out there somewhere in the computational linguistics community but I couldn't find them. I ended up using a list of the most common english words, filtered via pairwise levenstien distance, and then I did a manual scan to drop any words that seemed problematic.

It really would be nice if someone would solve this, but I'm not being flippant about just how much effort would be involved.
- It may or may not be a viable instrument for store of value but not sure if it will be a real fiat currency.
Bitcoin isn't backed by anything. Of course, crypto aficionados will argue that neither is the USD, but I disagree.
The US Petrodollar is backed by a massive overpowered military that will exert pressure on anyone who will try to do otherwise. Plus, the entire world currently has mostly decided that $$ is officially the world's reserve currency. Bitcoin has to be way easier to deal with if it wants to take over the system.
Even with the weakening dollar, it's more realistic that a basket currency of Euro/USD/Yuan would take its place rather than Bitcoin.

- The proof of work system is a massive waste of energy.

- What happens when the max number of bitcoins that can be minted is reached? Why would most number of miners even still be on the blockchain if it isn't lucrative enough? One could argue that they could still make money off of transaction fees, but that has to be high enough to break even. That's another issue then -- high transaction fee.

- What about the dormant coins like Satoshi's wallet and all the other people who just lost their keys/wallet. Is that money just dead? What would happen to the value if there is a sudden influx of these coins on the market?

- The BTC numerical isn't human friendly. Most people won't be able to easily wrap around the fact that they have to pay 0.00000000126751 BTC for their pizza. Oh, now calculate tips.

- Almost everyone who holds is 'hodling' hoping for it go up. It's not being used as a currency but as a speculative security, at least for now. This is especially true if you 'hold' bitcoin in platforms like Robinhood, etc. where you don't actually hold your own coins/keys.
This has all the hallmark of Greater Fool's theory written all over it.

- I think cryptocurrency in general will be an integral part of the future, just not Bitcoin.

I would love to hear arguments against my view from fellow HN'ers who are pro-BTC.

I also worked at Yahoo at that time, and I remember the feelings internally were more mixed. It was known that nearly all (or even more than 100%) of Yahoo's market value was the investment in Alibaba. Microsoft's offer basically valued all of Yahoo minus Alibaba and minus Yahoo Japan basically at nothing. And I'm perplexed by your blame on Jerry Yang, as out of the entire history of Yahoo, his Alibaba investment was the most financially successful act, worth more than anything any CEO at Yahoo had ever done combined.

Also remember at that time that Google, MSN, and Yahoo were the three major search engines at that time. It wasn't clear why Yahoo couldn't close on the #1 spot. It had the clear #1 search engine spot in Japan already. The Yahoo properties (combination of all their websites) was the most popular websites on the internet. They had a much stronger machine learning and data mining research lab, one year bragging that they swept all the best paper awards at the ML/DM computer science conferences.
This isn't 4chan or parler.
These were done around 2004-2006 IIRC, I don't know if the brand impact today is the same as it was back then. I'll see if I can find publications, but I think most, if not all of it, was not published. Even when you told people that we were substituting in different search engines and the presentation and layout was not indicative of where the results came from, putting a Google logo on the page produced a measurable difference in behaviour -far more so than changes to the results themselves (admittedly, we never presented ridiculous results, like say results from an entirely different query or a just random landing pages, but we did present them with, for example, purely paid search results).

In general though, consumer confirmation bias is not that surprising, right? Particularly with technology brands, it's pretty well established that confidence in the brand leads one to be more likely to attribute failure to one's own "mistakes" and therefore invest in further exploration of the product and/or modifying one's interactions with it. It also diminishes one's belief that another product would produce better results, therefore diminishing interest in exploring alternatives; it also leads one to perceive a product's performance as "better" when it is exactly the same.
