The primary driver right now is the expectation that interest rates are going to have to rise in a couple years to combat inflation. The theoretical value of a stock is the discounted value of all future cash flows, right? If interest rates go up to 15% in 2 years because inflation is 10%, then you have to discount the cash flows (boosted by 10% because of inflation) at 15%, rather than the current 0%. In theory rates go down when inflation does, but investors don't know by how much, and in the 80s (our last historical example) they were still running ~8% even when inflation went to 3%.

This is why growth stocks like tech have taken more of a beating than value stocks like food, oil, or defense. The former rely heavily on the expectation of future cash flows, often far off in the future, and if there's an incidence of extremely high interest rates between now and then, the value of those cash flows is significantly reduced even if their absolute amount increases because of inflation.

If the Fed does not raise rates or is unable to control inflation, then it behaves as you describe: stocks become much more attractive than cash, and the rational price point for a stock becomes infinite. This is how the stock markets in Venezuela and Zimbabwe have behaved: they increase exponentially, measured in their native currencies, as the currencies depreciate exponentially.

In other words, investors are pricing in rate hikes in response to inflation, and assuming that this will be "controlled" inflation that raises price levels a finite amount and then disappears. If either of these assumptions proves to be false, stocks are significantly undervalued.

Not sure how’s you work out proper network but a coworking cruise sounds ideal.

Spend a few days at sea working, then dock and explore for a day or two. Then a few more days working.

Of course it’s an environmental nightmare but it seems nice.
I think photorealism has the advantage of maintaining a cinematic feel. You can do a lot of 'realistic' things withs light in a game, that aren't really realistic (you'd never see them in real life), but are the type of thing you'd see in a photo or movie. This allows for a more tightly controlled experience.

Of course, this all depends on what the intention behind the game is. If you do want maximum immmersion, visionrealism would be the way to go.
Or, another way to state things is that it’s holding companies back.

Good leadership is actually hard to find, and identifying a single style dilutes the quality of leadership that is put in place.

Tim Cook vs Steve Jobs for example.

Imagine if Tim Cook wasn’t selected, given that he doesn’t exhibit the classic assertiveness.
Great idea.

Sure, but there are other cases the line is more blurred. For example when high res telephoto lenses catch an employee scratching their ass, and then someone writes a blog post about it...

That kind of thing can't be good for employee morale, but prosecuting it would probably be seen as overstepping the line.

Why Everywhere Looks the Same
Hyperloop is definitely lower-hanging fruit than Tesla. Of SpaceX, Hyperloop, Boring and Tesla, Tesla is easily the least scammy. But this particular energy density argument does come up pretty much any time he talks about Tesla.
The reaction would be the political party that passed that tax would lose overwhelmingly by a landslide in the election.

If you want to do some form of tax that is large enough to make a difference you first need to make the alternative to paying that tax viable enough that people will switch. Hydrocarbons are massively more energy dense than any other practical fuel. (nuclear is of course more energy dense, but not currently practical for trucks) If you want to get rid of them, then you need an alternative that works well enough for people to actually switch. There are a number of them, but batteries are not one, and never will be.

This exchange is absolutely hilarious to me. We've got people complaining about Google doing something while praising Figma for not being so foolish or evil and extolling them as being exceptionally clever. Except oops, turns out Figma is doing the same thing that is believed to be foolish or evil.

It turns out HN is prone to the same sort of knee jerk reactions as most every other "social news" site (even if to a lesser degree). Who would've thought?!
Thanks, just subbed
Is it possible to add a sizable fine solely for ignoring the government ban - independent of what a court would say regarding the matter of the ban, just for the violation of a ban itself?

Otherwise there is a plausible strategy to drag things in courts for long time meanwhile continuing the - possible - violations as stated by the government.
Will it avoid the following issues? Will it know if it should keep/delete/regenerate file manager indexes for each DE for install or uninstall? How will it roll back the app launcher icons, which is shared by all DEs? Each DE inserts stuff like system monitor, settings etc. Will it be possible to install/remove Firefox integration with KDE and Gnome, which is currently packaged by distro? Firefox by itself can disable/remove that extension too. If the OS needs Python, can we upgrade Python via PPA so that OS won't use an untested Python?
Yes, but the citizens were only subset of population and the city was smaller then current states.

It is quite possible that it would not scale to larger population and general voting rights.
Not sure on any particular guide, but I learned a lot from the old #perfmatters push from Chrome, getting a deeper understanding of what the JS engine does when you create an object, where it lives, how it interacts with the garbage collector and so on would be a good thing to learn about. Also it's generally only worth considering optimization for things that store a lot of data like arrays/maps. I don't see why these techniques wouldn't be good in the long term.

I definitely agree that it's easier to make webapps that consumer much more memory than it is using a lower-level language like C++, unless you're being careful.
What Is a Nuclear Microreactor?
The last crisis happened a little less than a decade ago, and crisises happen way more often than you seem to realize. 2008, 2001, 1987, 1973 all saw crashes due to some sort of crisis. It seems to happen about once a decade now. There was a period between 1929 and 1973 when they were less common, but before that, they seemed to happen at about that frequency as well.
I moved from 11ty / eleventy to docusaurus here: https://social-embed.git-pull.com/

Pluses:

- Very active project

- Nice theme out of the box / configuration. Better than any static site generator I've used thus far

- React components / pages

- Configurability, both by settings, plugins. I was able to add a (non-react) custom element to the static build output

- The sidebar, which supports nesting

- Table of contents on the right side. Highlights current section + supports nesting

- Algolia search adds a ton of value. There's a plugin for it: https://docusaurus.io/docs/search

- Dark / light mode

- Can sorta host API docs, if you can generate Markdown for your API, docusaurus can show it: https://social-embed.git-pull.com/docs/lib/api, https://social-embed.git-pull.com/docs/wc/api/classes/oembed...

- Supports namespacing between releases (e.g. v1.1, v1.2) and multiple languages

Lambda World News – Functional Programming Headlines for the week of 5/10/21
> Meta-comment: here are the typical arguments about consumer supersonic flight on HN.

It's obvious that you're a fanboi with no actual industry knowledge ...

> 1. It will be pricey. Counter-point - having the availability for the select few that need it is still a good thing; and perhaps it's not so expensive with new tech.

The issues are fuel cost (5x regular flights), eq. cost and cannibalization of first class/business class from regular routes. Virgin ddn't get the leftover Concordes because BA and AF didn't want to be cannibalized on their premium seats.

> 2. Environment. Counter-points - "if it were up to you, you'd ban air travel entirely"; let them purchase carbon credits or fund electric flight; is the marginal environmental impact that bad?

Carbon credits don't fix the problem that 5x fuel is burnt, and the exhaust is directly injected into the high atmosphere where it can affect weather. There's no electric airliners because of energy density issues with batteries.

(One study found that jet exhaust today increases local temperatures by 3% during the day, so flying at nite is recommended. The effects at 60,000 feet are unknown.)

> 3. General comment about speed of innovation, regulations, where smart people these days are working, etc.

> Why hasn't the last year or two of very easy money caused huge problems?

See the other comment I posted on this article. Commodities have skyrocketed. But the price of the beef in your Big Mac was negotiated years ago, so consumer prices lag raw materials as multi-year supply chain contracts are updated.

> could we have adopted 2020 monetary policies in, say, 2018 or 2014 with the same results (skyrocketing stock market, skyrocketing inequality, but relatively stable inflation) and we never did it before because we never had a good excuse?

The economic shock of the pandemic no doubt slowed the velocity of money for a time, which further slowed the consumer inflationary effect. But that velocity has increased amongst lockdown fatigue and reopening in the US, while the money printed is still here. We're seeing it manifest in real estate, stocks, and commodities. "The everything bubble" is just a way of saying (wealth inequality x inflation).
I think React hooks would fit nicely anywhere you need incremental computation, and a compiler is the first thing that comes to mind. They’re made for efficiently updating the output (DOM) in response to small changes in the input (sum of past user actions). If you can format your problem like that, based on a component structure, a similar API might be a good fit.
Unprecedented quality of life leaps were possible because of 100% user experience focused websites. The user wants popup menus and other interactive elements, they are objectively, measurably better (check out any UX research website). And Javascript is the way to enable all of that functionality.

Sorry for being not clear, by the network I meant the Internet connection.

I would try to Google first to have a general idea, there are usually many complaints if the connection is bad or problematic. Also, websites like Nomad List scores Internet connection for most of the cities (gladly it's not behind the paywall). This should clear major pitfalls already.

In the end, I would travel there to see for myself for two or three days. It should be easy because it's domestic or neighboring countries. Not only for the Internet connection but for everything to see if I really want to stay here for a while.
Several companies have done this, just Google "digital nomad cruise."

As soon as the DN thing got a little popular scammers set up shop and left some DN groups hanging with no hotels or transportation. Be careful and do your research before signing up.

For me the best part of the DN lifestyle was doing it on my own. I didn't join groups or seek out DN hot-spots, but I met lots of great nomads and non-nomads just bouncing around to places I found interesting. The trick is to start conversations with people you meet. I was always amazed at the DNs sitting in Chiang Mai or Prague coffee shops with headphones on furiously blogging away about how lonely the DN lifestyle is.

Political welfare in the non-personal-profit sense is at least equally insidious. Possibly worse, because at least when a politician hides $70,000 in their freezer you can put a number on it and it's obviously shameful. A lot of political welfare is taking away from one group of people and giving to another group of people who were lucky enough to be under the auspices of someone more charismatic.
also, The Fed is supposed to act as an independent body not under the control of the executive or legislative branch.
DOM is just not the way to build complex UI, we need to have control over the lower level draw loop and graphics, it's a pain to build a high level system on top of another high level system, it leads to hacks and unintuitiveness like react hooks. Building UI framework in canvas is way more fun and clean and the only way (in the browser) to think about UI programming from first principal, I dream of a browser environment where DOM / HTML is an optional library.
Most economic predictions are not logistic, so this statement is, strictly speaking, not meaningful.

Yes. And they generally appear to worry over inflation more. Perhaps because inflation tends to favor debtors rather than creditors.

I know that's the joke, but, I think, not really.

Dropbox has become bloated and has tons of useless features I and most other HN users probably don't care about and find annoying. But the original core functionality still works really well and is a big quality of life improvement over more hacky personal backup implementations, IMO.

So I agree with the criticisms, but I think it's still a useful service at heart and worth the money. It just - very predictably - got way too big for its britches and tried to expand a useful app into a multi-domain conglomerated platform. Steve Jobs's comment that Dropbox is "a feature, not a product" (to which he might now add "and not a company/ecosystem") was pretty much right, I think. It's still a really good and well-executed feature, though.

That said, would I switch to something that was cheaper and gave me all the same core features with the same level of reliability? Probably.
I'm not sure if there's a point in the history where you can run with (this) JIT or with HiPE on the same commit. Which makes an apples to apples comparison difficult. If you compare HiPE on OTP 23 with JIT on OTP 24, you're also getting the large amount of other changes as well.

Both HiPE and this JIT have drastically different improvements depending on the specific code that's running, which makes it challenging to have a real world benchmark as well.

No need for that actually. They will deorbit within a year if left completely dead, and within a couple of month if they have a single button "start deorbiting" that uses the electric propulsion.

But more importantly, their propulsion allows them to launch at a very low orbit. This is a very good method for a constellation as they can see all the early failures (the beginning of the bathtub curve) happen at a very low orbit and reduce the cost of ground testing.

Their orbital debris management strategy is one of the best I have seen.

As an American who lived in Thailand for five years, with their draconian free speech restrictions and authoritarian regime, I think it's easy to just ignore it. You aren't part of the culture, the politics are opaque, there's no reason to form an opinion and go around telling everyone about it. I found it refreshing to live in the fog of not understanding or caring about Thai politics -- it let me focus on making friends and having fun.
When people hoard shortages happen. Yeah - how insightful. Next they will dramatically intone that water is wet.

This will only be an issue if the pipeline stays down for an extended period of time. And with everyone still mostly working from home/social distancing this is probably the best time for something like this to happen.

Hopefully it will be a wake up call to all companies that backups and disaster recovery plans only work if they are routinely tested and maintained. Any company forced to pay for ransomware (and good luck if they actually deliver anything past payment - ha!) needs to have its executive management held to account. Anyone can get ransomwhere these days - it should be nothing more than a temporary inconvenience if a company has an integrated approach to it's operations - and that's across all business areas, not just IT. Disaster recovery is NOT solely an IT problem.
Scrolling on that page is incredibly janky (Chrome/mac).

From a UK perspective, my mother was kind of complaining about a large boring task she was doing in relation to her local community council (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_council) of which she is a member.

I asked her how long she's been on the community council (a long time) and suggested it might be someone else's turn, to which she replied that there isn't anybody else (there are other members, but they are few and old).

So if this is typical, then if you are in the UK and care about / have strong opinions about what's right or wrong or needed in your local community: join you local community council.
> Are gas stations selling out because of lack of supply or increase in demand (ie stocking up/panic buying/however you want to call the inclination to fill-up when you fear pumps might run dry)

Yes. There is a real supply issue, but people are aware of the supply issue causing panic buying. Prospective shortages cause a positive feedback loop.
You need to hook into game process, but it's nothing too hard. Either patching game binary in right place to funnel pointer to needed buffers to your DLL, or hooking something like D3D11 OMSetRenderTargets and doing some clever guessing which one of buffers this is. Doing this at driver side wouldn't make any difference, as driver doesn't have any extra semantic info what the buffer is used for anyway.
