Ender 3 Pro. Unmodified other than a BL Touch. Just a bunch of fun.

My first Dutch oven. I cook most the meals in our household, like 95%. I never have owned a Dutch oven. Misen had a Dutch oven on kickstarter and I picked one up. So far, very happy. You have to be careful how you heat them, but they cook stews wonderfully, and I braised a bunch of meatballs, then filled it with spaghetti sauce for dinner one night. In a stainless steel pot, that can be a cleanup nightmare. The Dutch oven just wiped out clean after a soak.

So, happy with both of those purchases.
A plot is basically a 100GB file (or file) that is associated with your public key. You can move it around how you want. Many people are creating them on machines with nvme disk and then they are copied over a network storage somewhere else.

For long-term capital gains above $1m, yes. I'm not lucky enough (yet?) for that to apply to me this year anyway. Plus, that change would probably apply from 2022 onwards, so there's a chance that if another crypto bull run happens later this year (a la 2013), one could still cash out gains under the current rate structure.

I also wouldn't be surprised if there's some negotiation with Republicans to raise the proposed bracket from $1m to $5-10m: pull out enough sad old widows with homes that have appreciated $1.5m+ such that the $250k exemption would still put them in the $1m+ bracket, etc.
> Where is the write thrashing coming in?

This happens during plotting (not farming). The plots are sorted, which is where the write thrashing happens. Once you've completely plotted a farm, it is never written to.

Everything else you said is basically spot-on.
I think the main takeaways here are that (1) developer tools don't sell well on mobile platforms (which makes sense) and (2) the Mac App Store isn't very popular.

The demand for good developer tooling has never been higher. Companies and individuals won't think twice before throwing money at an app or service which offers even the tiniest bit of improvement to their existing process. Sales and distribution, however, is still mostly an unsolved problem. Steam I think is the only company which has managed to crack that code at scale.
I have located the first commit in the bitcoin/bitcoin repo on GitHub [1]. However, there is no single occurrence of "Poker".

In the original-bitcoin repo I've found CPokerLobbyDialogBase class [2]. So I can partially confirm your theory.

According to bitcoin.com in the early stages of the project there was an idea for implementing on-chain poker game [3].

> Bitcoin was simply designed to be an in game currency for a poker game

Could you back this theory with some evidence?

> extremely rare in the code I see

Well, I learned of the change in compiler behavior some years back because I had written loop code with a sanity check which depended on signed integer overflow wrapping, along with a test case to prove that the sanity check worked, and that test case started failing:

not ok 2 - catch overflow in token position calculation

Failed test 'catch overflow in token position calculation'
at t/152-inversion.t line 70.

To the extent I can be, I'm done with C. I leave it to people who think that silently optimizing away previously functional sanity checks is an acceptable engineering tradeoff, and who disparage those of us who have been bitten.

To be fair, all 3 of those are valid complaints.

#1 was true all the way till ~10 years ago when 3G became popular.

#2 is still true is most 'urban' areas. People just take their phones with them when they get out of their cars.

#3 is interesting - I think some regions had tried to ban mounting phones on the dashboard, but at this point, they must have given up
Exactly.

For example there were programs 30-40 years ago that relied on exact stack layouts. These days everybody would agree they are completely broken.

The issue of course is that it is extremely hard to write programs that have no UB. It would be nice for compilers to have an option to automatically introduce assetions whenever they rely on some UB-derived axiom, basically as a sort of lightweight sanitizer.

In fact if we had sanitizers 30-40 years ago probably things would be better today.
Ask HN: Advices for Burnout and Depression?
Hello HN.

Thanks for clicking. I hope I won't waste your time.

It's been some time since I've been struggling with depression. But something else happened for the last two months. I quit my job due to burnout. I couldn't handle the stress anymore and I felt it was a really toxic place.

Fast forward today... I'm still depressed and I still retained many addictions (porn, internet, smartphone, eating at late hours, excessive amounts of coffee) I have developed during this pandemic and working from home.

I still need to get a job eventually, but my brain doesn't let me have a break. I just feel guilty most of the time. If I try to sleep in the afternoon I still wake up panicked about where my life is going.

I tried practicing leetcode lately but I tend to panic and have feelings of guilt when I don't seem to know something trivial. I feel like I've become just a dumber version of myself while having a salary.

For the last 5 years I've been coding in C++. I simply don't want to see CMake anymore. I feel like I missed a lot of exciting stuff in other fields such as Data Science, ML, Cloud computing while I was just looking at compiler flags and treating signals, not even doing embedded, just system programming. I've been looking into Python and Go lately for a change, but I don't feel any real motivation.

Thanks for reading. I really could use some advice. I'm sorry if I wasted your time.

Part of this has to do with how we've been able to drive down agricultural costs by means of automation over the last century which has driven a move away from family farms to larger corporate farms. In 1900, just under 40 percent of the total US population lived on farms, and 60 percent lived in rural areas. Today, the respective figures are only about 1 percent and 20 percent.[1]

Sure the coasts are creating more economic output by far, but people need to eat food. Agriculture is always going to be important, but lot less people are involved in it than ever before. This is part of what's led to the urban/rural divide where the rural folks feel left out - there just aren't as many of them as populations have migrated to cities. This is why people in rural areas feel increasingly left out. It's mostly due to economic forces that are out of their control.

Funny story while waiting in the Observation Area after getting the COVID vaccination:

In the first registration part, I discovered I didn't have an NHI number because I haven't been to a doctor.
Therefore I was given a Post-It note on my consent form saying "Manual Entry".

After the jab, the observation nurses would call out names every few minutes: David, Priscilla, Marion, Yi Xin, Manuel, Daniel, Kyungbook, Richard... no surnames.

I didn't really think much of it. Besides, it was raining outside, I had my laptop, and I wasn't in a hurry to leave.
When it was almost closing, there were only two of us left.

"Are you Manuel?" they asked. I said my name is Peter, not Manuel! But apparently they were calling "Manual". The Kiwi accent is hard to understand, even for a native speaker!
The problem to me is that people with spare money are greedy, and when the chips are down, are unwilling to help people who need help, even if giving that help would only make a small dent in the giver's finances. This goes for investors, corporate leaders, and well-off individuals.

For example, Kroger's Pick Up obviously became very popular during the pandemic, and I was grateful for it. But they had a policy that you couldn't tip the workers putting groceries in your trunk. WTF?? Now Kroger is charging $5 per pickup order (only sometimes). So it's okay to pay the big company extra, but not okay to pay the person doing the work. Fuck them, I put a tip in the trunk and tell people to take it.

Most large businesses are just despicable, and the people at the top are by association, because they institute these "you're under my thumb" policies.

You're talking about kids as financial investments and they're the irrational ones?

BTW, the average cost of raising a child 0-17 in the US ~$230k. That amount alone sitting in an index fund over many decades will provide for you more than any single person ever could.
Do you have rational data that would present this viewpoint as otherwise? How about helping us liberals understand the conservative viewpoint better if you have insight on this.

Edit: please don't downvote based on disagreement - write something instead. This is a reasonable question asking to further understand the conservative viewpoint. Case in point, I'm upvoting buzzert's comments because they present a contrary, but interesting perspective.

No, I have much experience in Java, there's some cons but other languages have cons either, and I certainly can code faster with good knowledge of general pitfalls.
Thanks for the question. FourHere is a mobile app that helps people meet at local restaurants. I put the app on the stores before the pandemic hit, so timing here is because local restaurants are starting to re-open. I believe an angel investor could help me accelerate the growth of the business. I already can afford to fund the app myself, so seed funding is not the primary concern, it's more having someone with experience who can help secure funding and grow the user base.
Thanks. While we began with Express, we intend to add support for more ORMs, so that users can pick the one they want.

That sounds to me like it would create a ton of redundancy, as different organizations reimplement nearly-identical policies.

And then it creates a ton of uncertainty. A different thread was already complaining about the uncertainty of whether children can inherit debts from their parents, which varies from state to state. Is it really a boon to have it vary county by county?

"Simpler" would generally be to centralize what can be centralized. Put all your eggs in one basket, and then make sure it's a really good basket. That's not always the best policy, but if you're looking for the simplest policy, it's usually Don't Repeat Yourself.

> The pension fund works similar to a ponzi scheme in that it can only sustain itself if there are enough new workers paying in.

It does not have to be like this. Canada's used to be this way, but several decades ago they saw the problems coming and changed it:

> By the mid-1990s, the 3.6 per cent contribution rate was not sufficient to keep up with Canada's aging population.[10] and it was concluded that the "pay-as-you-go" structure would lead to excessively high contribution rates within 20 years or so, due to Canada's changing demographics, increased life expectancy of Canadians, a changing economy, benefit improvements, and increased usage of disability benefits (all as referenced in the Chief Actuary's study of April 2007, noted above). The same study reports that the reserve fund was expected to run out by 2015. This impending pension crisis sparked an extensive review by the federal and provincial governments in 1996. As a part of the major review process, the federal government actively conducted consultations with the Canadian public to solicit suggestions, recommendations, and proposals on how the CPP could be restructured to achieve sustainability once again. As a direct result of this public consultation process and internal review of the CPP, the following key changes were proposed and jointly approved by the Federal and provincial governments in 1997: […]

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Pension_Plan#1996_refor...

There were a further update in 2017.

It should be noted that the CPP was never meant to be the sole source of income in retirement, even when it was originally set up. There were provisions for pensions and private savings (RRSPs) as well. The combination of all of these was to fund people's retirement.
I came across a subreddit, I forget its name though, thats sole purpose was pumping up new cryptocurrencies, hoping it would catch the attention of casual crypto investors.

I think it depends on the scope of your project and how many people you will have working on the codebase. I’ve used Java on Android where it was the only choice pre-Kotlin and it definitely helps to keep everything and everyone organized and is well supported through IDEs. Yes, it can be verbose, but it’s less so today, and the code will be something that anyone can work on and continue to work on. OOP has its weaknesses but it does push people towards a direction that helps maintainability. If I had a mega-project to manage, I would choose Java.

Not knowing the alternative languages proposed I can’t comment on their shortcomings in comparison to Java. I can’t think of anything that went wrong from using Java, it’s very performant and other than perhaps garbage collection or startup issues, you won’t find many shortcomings. If your alternative language is closer to the metal than Java, I do agree the hiring will be harder and development will be slower on most teams, because you have expanded what can possibly go wrong and broadened the range of skills.

As far as bloated - it’s that way so that the code you wrote doesn’t have to be.

Verbose - it’s evolved to allow lambdas, implicit casting, and improved case statements.

Unpleasant - Not in any IDE and not if your code quality enforces doc strings- which is one of the best things about Java.

Modern - I assume functional programming is what is asked for here? Java does support lambdas, and map,filter, etc. through the stream api.
For a long time I have been willing to write a personalized bookmark manager with a custom way to store and recall them. Nyxt looks like ideal platform to get started.

A major thing that puts me off using it is that it does not have a dark mode. I hope that will come with ability to use some chromium or firefox extensions.
Would you please not cross into personal attack? The GP comment wasn't good, either, because it's much too generic and repetitive. Discerning readers are weary of this repetition, which is getting shallower and nastier as it continues.

> It is good to see the brightness improving, but as someone who has played around with some AR devices I think AR is still waiting for the FOV to take a leap forward before these have mainstream appeal.

Or just potentially not look ridiculous - or if ridiculous, at least an admirable ridiculousness.

The most brilliant 'AR' concepts I've seen are the mesh of highest form of a mature technology with a dash of new software and most directed intent -- aka Voice Home Assistants, DynamicLand, iBeacons/AirTags, Whole Foods eink displays, Projection Mapping, Google's recent 'be there project' for example.

Those concepts are going to gel together inside someone's mobile platform API (iOS or Android) and become AR without glasses - and be more compelling than wearing a display.

I'm firmly in the camp that displays will be nice, but not must haves for AR.
It’s like proof of stake - you have to prove you have a track record of producing the emissions.
I wouldn't expect an exhaust plume passing through a wormhole to move the wormhole itself (or the heavily curved "portals" at its ends) any more than a plume would move "flat"/"normal" spacetime.

Just because it's a crime doesn't mean it's wrong. If your government is corrupt, paying taxes means you're funding that corruption.
The comment was only about parts of the us tax system. Regressive is a technical term and means that the effective rate decreases as one’s means increase. A simple example is a flat poll tax: richer people feel a much lower burden than poorer people. Mortgage contribution deductions are regressive because poorer people don’t have mortgages on average.
Ok, I am gonna say it out loud: This is nice and all. Great hardware work for sure. But: This is not going to work commercially. Watch the twitter videos and you'll know why [1]. It's all nice and shiny, but it has no utility whatsoever. People will get bored after day 2.

And then, 3-5 years from now Apple will come in with their iGlasses and everyone will absolutely love them. Because they will integrate them deeply in their ecosystem and have some real use-cases.

These look more like a Proof of Concept.

It's not meaningful because the question here is not whether the algorithm reduces overall bias. The question is whether the algorithm introduces unwanted bias into the presentation of people's posts, with no ability for them to opt out.

The bar would be different, in my mind, if we let people choose whether to use this algorithm or opt out.

Also, as Twitter finally came to at the end of their post, the much bigger issue is that this algorithm doesn't respect people's desire to curate their own public image. Taking out the bias aspect, if I post a group photo that includes my best friend, and the algorithm crops them out of the thumbnail entirely, then that's going to be really frustrating to me. If I want to center a person of color or a woman (or an LGBTQ individual, which we don't know how the algorithm would rate - we don't have the data), and the algorithm makes a different choice, then my message is damaged.
