Nobody is permitting anyone to take their money but themselves. And beyond that, there are ample resources to learn how not to behave like a fool in the markets. And even further beyond that, there are plenty of fools that are good at one thing and do well with it, taking away the opportunity to try their hand at something they might be good at to save people who were too busy watching tiktok to save themselves is not how you create a just society.

Also I'd like to add that the only thing speculative investing has in common with gambling is that risk is being taken, it isn't gambling, and speculation in cryptocurrencies is certainly not a zero sum game.

I believe it will show it, but not the flagging specifically. You can see the position (best) drop off a cliff, even while upvotes and comments keep rising for a bit.

Maker, this is really really cool. Only quibble is make it easier to check out a post. Not sure how, but maybe:

- Bookmarklet

- Some sort of search, or bring up all posts by a user, or all posts currently on the front page.

A suggestion I have is to allow a comparison chart. So be able to add multiple submissions, and compare their trends.

All in all, great work!
Yeah, I bet a friend that the S&P was gonna crash in 2016, clearly I know nothing about the markets.

Who exactly?

If they were rich before cryptocurrencies, they shouldn't care (unless they unwisely bet the farm on it); and if they're rich because of cryptocurrencies, no one else should care, because if cryptocurrencies crash, they wouldn't be rich anymore.
It's seems to me that as a retail investor choices are pretty limited:

- keep money in the bank at negative interest.

- buy stocks at high prices.

- lock cash in bonds at risk of inflation.

- buy real estate at high prices.

And which strategy is best depends on Fed policy.
I don’t know, these can be bought freely here in Switzerland.
Tests let you modify code that’s unfamiliar to you without fear you’ll accidentally break something. If you live in a codebase and work with it every day, automated testing is arguably less important because you build an intuition around what kind of changes might break things. I wouldn’t be surprised if the lack of testing has actively fostered the ownership model Linux has adopted. You would need something like that to keep the bugs at bay.

But there’s lots of code out there which doesn’t (or can’t) have a dedicated owner in the same kind of way. I had an issue opened on one of my GitHub projects the other day. I’m the sole maintainer of this project, the code is fiendishly complex and it’s working without any changes for about 18 months. Somebody found a bug! But after 18 months I’ve forgotten the mental context I had while writing that code - so I was terrified I’d break something else while fixing that problem. But I had an extensive test suite to fall back on. So when I fixed the bug and the existing tests all passed, I had the confidence to publish a new version. (And of course, I added the bug’s repro to the test suite for next time).

Lots of projects need guard rails like this. Maybe they’re solo projects. Or maybe there’s a lot of churn in the team. Sometimes there’s just more code than there are engineers to keep track of everything, so people are bouncing around a lot and don’t build much expertise in a single area. For the long tail of software, I’m pretty confident in saying unit tests have dramatically improved reliability beyond the standard we had a couple of decades ago. Have they made us lazier too? Maybe! But in my book they’re definitely a win on the whole.

The union is afraid of losing jobs. For the 30% doing better removing the choice will reduce their chance of success. Many kids did better without the distractions of the hallway rat race.

It could cost some teacher jobs in time if the best teacher and course becomes standard and broadcast to all.

What we are not talking about is the online model. The one used during covid where the teacher acted like a babysister and made sure she could see all eyes on all cameras for 6 hours a day needs to be examined. The lessons learned for many successful homeschooling families is structure and schedule should be flexible. We tried to import the best 1900 offered on how to structure a classroom to a group of 2100 century kids and wondered why they weren't engaged staring at their teacher through zoom. It is not like we weren't asking why kids are not as engaged in the classroom before covid. We had a huge rise in add.

The answer for many kids is going to be online education with the missing experiencial component where learning involves exploring, knowledge driven education. We need different types of teachers who will challenge students outside of the classroom. We need flexible local groups of students who can socialize and learn and explore together.

One size can't fit all anymore.
The address of p could have been taken somewhere earlier and stored in a global that foo accesses, or a similar path to that; and of course, p could itself be a global. Indeed, if the purpose of foo is to make p non-null and point to valid memory, then by optimising away that code you have broken a valid program.

If the compiler doesn't know if foo may modify p, then it can't remove the call. Even if it can prove that foo does not modify p, it still can't remove the call: foo may still have some other side-effects that matter (like not returning --- either longjmp()'ing elsewhere or perhaps printing an error message about p being null and exiting?), so it won't even get to the null dereference.

As a programmer, if I write code like that, I either intend for foo to be doing something to p to make it non-null, or if it doesn't for whatever reason, then it will actually dereference the null and whatever happens when that's attempted on the particular platform, happens. One of the fundamental principles of C is "trust the programmer". In other words, by trying to be "helpful" and second-guessing the intent of the code while making assumptions about UB, the compiler has completely broken the expectations of the programmer. This is why assumptions based on UB are stupid.

The standard allows this, but the whole intent of UB is not so compiler-writers can play language-lawyer and abuse programmers; things it leaves undefined are usually because existing and possible future implementations vary so widely that they didn't even try to consider or enumerate the possibilities (unlike with "implementation-defined").

Is there a proper autohotkey alternative on Linux? I used to make my work 2x easier because I could do win+v to "type" password into a password box that doesn't let you Ctrl+v.
This is a simple example but rock solid and "never" caused me grief.

On KDE neon, I tried global shortcuts and found a similar thing but it was buggy and I stopped using it. Xdotool I think with other stuff pointed to meta+v. Buggy in the sense I would paste multiple times and the system would do silly dance.

More like hatred toward the Fed's inability to limit inflation to 2%.
Isn't SQL more like the browser? Everyone uses SQL, everyone uses the browser. But the way they are used can be very different. You can also use SQL databases like a dump key-value store or with more sophistication like foreign-constraints etc.
It's so much worse than punch the monkey ads though. For example, W3C Service Workers lets every news website you've ever visited install a daemon on your computer without your consent. chrome://serviceworker-internals/ That can happen either by you choosing to go to the website, possibly by prowling the HN "New" page and bouncing, or possibly some other website loading Russia Today in an iframe, so now you've got Russia Today's service worker skulking in the background for all time. Service Workers MiTM your HTTP requests based on prefixes and they phone home every day. They're the reason sites like Facebook can show you notifications even though you don't even have a Facebook tab open. They've got a kill switch over your data where for example if a game author uses service workers to build a "local" game then they can remotely wipe your save data. Worst part is browsers don't provide us the freedom to turn the things off. I'm not even sure if extensions are allowed to block them.
Hey don’t argue with the click bait
It is, at heart, a ponzi scheme.
the await's were a big no-no for me, that's mostly it. having to unnecessarily write await 20 times for 20 shell commands isn't that clean imo.
Even if that was the case the hyperboly is put in a way that it's undermining the greater point.
'Manually tweak' is a bad word invented by me. He didn't mean it was viral segment insertion either.

Regarding selection pressure people do that all the time, in fact it is far from easy to artificially apply environmental pressure and obtain highly functional new variants. In cancer research, xenograft are extremely tricky to do with immunodeficient animal models, let alone human tissue in the lab. Sure you can have some success but it's difficult enough to reproduce. His point is that even if an artificially selected highly viable variant was obtained, it is very unlikely it can prevail in real world nature selection (large scale too). I'm no expert but happy to read about any paper if it's not the case.
It's more like you can often hear people claim that no-code will replace code. Which to some degree is true - but not in the way it is sold.

Most devs already use no-code an low-code and they know when to use what.
The idea is to write a regression test now, to catch it if it's accidentally reintroduced by a future developer who knows nothing about this bug.
It was debunked time and time again. People in ancient times drank water, it's just that reading ancient texts gave some historians the idea that people only drank beer, since that was the only drink they wrote about(well, along with wine). No one wrote about drinking water because there was no reason to write about it. But modern historians are very much certain that the "they only drank beer because it was safer" thing is a myth, we don't have any proof for that.
Ah - fair enough.

Why Go Getting Generics Will Not Change Idiomatic Go
Interesting argument, I must say.

But as an extension, I wonder why we ever stopped using Tulips as a source of value.

If people wish to be part of a bubble, let them?

Perhaps the obvious counter is that this causes harm to the greater good, is bit valid or insufficient ?
This resonates with me. One of the best advice from my organ teacher was to „stop playing the notes and start really listening to yourself.“

Closing my eyes really helped with removing all stimuli that distracted me from actually doing that and it made all the difference.
>"The child was buried in a residential site, close to where this community lived, evincing how intimately life and death are related. Only humans treat the dead with the same respect, consideration and even tenderness they treat the living. Even when we die, we continue to be someone for our group," Martinón-Torres added.

> "This would likely have been a group act, perhaps by members of the child's family. All of these behaviors are, of course, very similar to those observed in our own species today, so we can relate to this act even though the burial dates to 78,000 years ago," said study co-author Nicole Boivin, an archaeologist and director at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Germany.

You have to be careful drawing inferences. Human sacrifice victims were also many times buried with great care.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_Llullaillaco

Given the prevalence of childhood mortality in ancient and pre-historic times, an elaborate burial of a child has a pretty good chance of being part of some ritual sacrifice.

The approach is very different. Xonsh is a shell first, and it adds python capabilities on top (with an arguably complicated syntax). Meanwhile, zxpy is just a python script, that can seamlessly run bash commands inside it.
My teachers stood up and explained a topic. We read further, did homework and were marked on tests and projects. There may be a period after the lecture where we could try to get help. Perhaps going after class might get you extra help but most teachers seemed to be involved in coaching after class.

Where does teaching come in? The lecture or the help after?

Most large companies employ at least a handful of kernel developers to keep their servers running right. Some (Google, Facebook, etc.) have large teams that contribute significant amounts of code upstream, often based on what they're running internally.
I doubt we learned it from elephants, rather it is a product of higher consciousness. Empathy with another being and realizing it can be lost.
I found the article generally quite clickbaity.

Is it a “trick” to use “grass-fed Angus steak with thick-cut rosemary fries“ rather than just say “steak and chips”, as the article claims? I don’t think so. The former is a more detailed description of what’s being offered. The latter refers to a much simpler meal.
The article makes it sound like stocks are high because of low interest rates.

But the main reason that stocks are high is probably that there is so much money out there:

https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/bst_recenttren...

I think the fed would need to take back money to reverse the inflation. I don't know via which mechanisms they would do this. Does anybody here know?

It is important to remember that this would bankrupt the government unless the government finds ways to raise capital elsewhere. So we will probably not see any de-inflationary actions unless we also see higher taxes.

My feeling: We will see a fast rise in taxes and a slow rise in interest rates.

In other words: Governments will try to take away peoples money and only afterwards slowly make money more valuable again. Maybe. Maybe they will just keep the value of money at the current level.
I don't know if you ever worked with tech-illiterate people, but there is no way that they would print out or write down a list of codes or keep something in cold storage. Hell, even if they know how to. It's too much effort for something like email, and yet they wouldn't realize the importance until it's too late. I personally had to deal with an aging woman who had her online banking password set to her name followed by the year she was born in, and was unwilling to use the USB security key that the bank started providing. There was more than a million in her account. She couldn't be fucked to secure that kind of money with a free-of-charge easy to use key. It was not a case of an elderly woman struggling to remember her password or not understanding how to use it.
In her mind she deserved the access to her account just on the merit of it being "hers", and she saw the security as an unnecessary ritual that the bank used as a barrier between her and her money and nothing could convince her otherwise.
I don't know if anyone has ever argued that the markets are bulletproof.

Clive has also made a few more videos since then, showing how reducing the power at which LEDs are run at can dramatically increase their efficiency - they put out less light, but at more lumens/watt.
It's not the only language with a REPL but in few languages the REPL is really usable.

For example, I tried the Python REPL recently. It's not worth the effort. Pervasive mutability in the language makes it basically useless for anything practical. No tooling is designed for it, and I believe it can't be without making a new language effectively. If somebody has really used a Python REPL to a great effect, I would like to see it, please let me know.

Clojure allows you to escape "place oriented, mutable-first programming" that is super easy to fall into with all other popular languages. You won't see a benefit if you just try for a day or two.

And yes, I do know what all of those do :) (using Clojure since ~2014).

In reality, you probably need ~20 functions to be productive in Clojure. It's much better IMO to memorize consistently named functions that don't ever change than figuring out what some specific string syntax means in some (new) language. That's just a benefit of being a Lisp, nothing specific to Clojure (in that case).
What do you think about applications like Simply Piano?
I am 40+ yo, and never played any instrument before. After 3 years of practicing with Simply Piano I am able to read and play some sheet music, but I'd like to know which areas need improvements.

Do you know any applications which can record performance of a song and evaluate it?
I think there’s some sort of issue happening where learning in general is widely misunderstood, and teaching is undertaken by people who have little understanding of how humans learn things.

I don’t know what’s going on. Something about the wide access of the internet plus a bunch of teaching methods that were traditional and terrible resulted in everyone deciding they can teach stuff and somehow we almost act as if it doesn’t matter how something is taught??

I can’t explain it but I see it everywhere.

Anyway, perhaps just pay someone to teach you guitar? That’s how I learned martial arts and music all my life. Nothing beats one on one lessons with an expert.

Oh please, less than 3 months ago outlets like the WSJ were openly denying asset inflation was being caused by the Fed and the Treasury’s actions. Now that Dogecoin is getting lots of attention they want to pretend like a big crash is coming? FUD plain and simple. The market will fluctuate, then it will adjust, life will go on. Ignore.
Can you quote any economic historian that agrees with you?
A quick search shows that the team includes at least several more engineers, which is not very surprising.
It’s probably never the scammers picking up the money. They’d just hire someone to act as a mule.
Can't speak for everyone, but for me, I realized I didn't use my right pinkie to hit backspace or left pinkie to hit tab, and likewise for my 4th fingers, so I would end up moving my wrist. After a bit of practice I didn't need to use my wrists as much and practically all the keys can be reached in this way.
Flags are for "this shouldn't be here" not for "I disagree", AFAICT. It's bad enough that downvotes are used for disagreement.
I'm in agreement. But to tax people 67% starting at 400K is ludicrous to me, barring emergency wartime measures (although nowadays the Fed would just print the money and dissolve the value of USD). That 67% rate was for income over TWO MILLION (not inflation adjusted). Using the extremely conservative CPI figure, that's over $25M USD today. Using the median price of a home in the US for inflation, that's nearly $100M. A much more sensible maximum bracket than what we have today.

The point is that the distribution of tax rates is broken, with no statement made about the rates themselves.

Fire is a part of the lifecycle of many of the plants native to California. If power lines didn't spark fires, something else would (lightning if nothing else).

That said, power lines do have a tendency to spark fires in remote areas on the windiest days, which is not ideal. But eliminating power lines still wouldn't eliminate brush fires.
They have tens of knobs, some strange and esoteric, targeting specific corners of the banking system, but I believe if they want to control inflation they simply need to cut back on bond purchases.

As they buy less bonds, their price drops, as the price drops risk-free yields drift higher. As risk-free yields drift higher, consumer credit becomes simultaneously more expensive and less available, as lenders allocate less of their capital to risky lending and more to risk-free (government) lending. This credit shrinkage causes the deflationary effect.

The trouble is that every time the fed has even hinted at this on past occasions (stretching back a decade), an immediate violent market event has usually followed. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/taper-tantrum.asp
Good teaching, especially for kids, is not broadcasting lecture.
Most low code / no code products are used by developers. But a no code integration product like Zapier would have a high number of business users, while a low code product would have very few business users. Low code products tend to be aimed at developers in a hurry or ones with limited skills.
It doesn't make much sense to me.

There is nothing positive in forfeiting principles of good software engineering in the name of falsely perceived imbalance of stakes in the project. Instead of falling back on the biggest beneficiaries of the project for testing, we should have a participation model that welcomes contributions and improvements at all stages of development.

I've contributed to the kernel multiple times over the last few years and it was always a pain to some degree. Sometimes due to outdated contribution model, sometimes because of maintainer's personal preferences and allegiances.

Sadly current kernel dev culture still promotes exclusion and building walls instead of reducing tension and removing barriers for entry.

This is not something I've heard often in my field but I had to learn this over the years. Performers want to present a piece as if it was never practiced and was all made up on the spot, and yet we do have to practice a piece day after day. Losing vitality and "becoming rehearsed" through over-practice is a real problem.

The book "A Soprano on Her Head" by Eloise Ristad, who was a piano teacher, really helped me with my dance & acting practice. I restructured a lot based on that book (added improvisational elements, reduced forceful drill-like elements, more self-observation, less verbal cues), and my technique and enjoyment both improved a lot during covid lockdown. She also wrote a book called "Bold Beginnings" for teaching piano using a new method that she made up, but I've not been able to find a copy.
Well, not a ponzi scheme, but a type of scheme akin to a pyramid scheme, yes. The last one holding bitcoin when the sun burns out is going to be broke. Or whenever it happens.

But this situation is no different from any fiat currency, or even commodity backed currency if the commodity has no utilitarian value. Here is a fact: eventually the US dollar is going to become worthless and everyone left holding dollars is going to be broke. The game with anything like this is kicking the can down the road. Anything that is valuable solely because someone else wants it is going to be worthless eventually. That doesn't mean that in the meantime it has no utility.
