i like-ish the idea of Alpine, maybe, if it sticks around for the next 10 years and adds the functionality it's missing -- functionality that exists in jQuery and Vue today.

which means i'd be likely to use jquery or vue if i had to choose a tool today for a project i needed to be around in a couple/few years.

but that might be a bit too harsh -- if it's so simple then i'd be able to hack on it relatively easily without worrying about which version it was at 5 years from now, or if it really exists at all in any sense -- because i would be able to master all its use cases (so i would not need any support/help), or swap in a new tool.

i would say that the answer to the question, 'Why should I use Alpine instead of Vue?' should be something other than, 'The non-VDOM, bro!'

i'm sure that's important to some people -- just not me.

if you said it's actually truly really much simpler than Vue, then that might be cool.

if you said it's much simpler than vue and does a lot less than vue, that might be ok, too -- just tell me what less it does so i know whether to waste my time or not.

if it's like jquery, minus a ton of features, but with new/better syntax, that could be interesting.

i support it. let's see where it goes.

i've never been crazy about the weird 'open' binding/variable/whatever examples/uses -- in alpine/vue/anything.

i'm always thinking, is that a variable, or an html attribute, or a standard naming convention of this particular framework, or maybe it's a css property, or a bound tool variable that is named the same as a css property or value, or....
Can you elaborate on this? Are you saying vanilla Debian will use Guix?
That is incorrect. The Samsung Galaxy S5 had a removable battery and headphone jack and was still waterproof. It was a $550 phone and was a flagship with the latest hardware/performance stuff, so clearly this was practical from a cost/manufacturing standpoint. Waterproofing is not a valid reason against having removable batteries or ports.
How do we get access to it? I filled out the form and haven't heard anything back.
> We need to look at the costs faced by couples with a lot of children. For example, you can accommodate 2 children in a standard 3 bedroom house, but 4 or 5 children are going to need a much larger and more expensive dwelling. Same thing with cars.

Per modern standards. A whole bedroom per child is still today only an amenity that relatively richer people have, especially in desirable areas.

I also wonder how many women chose to have 4 kids. It might have just been an unfortunate byproduct of sex, but now it’s completely controllable. And after seeing what my wife went through in 2 completely normal pregnancies with no complications, you would have to offer me some serious cash if I was a woman to go through that.
I was able to move out after 5 years working as a software developer and my bf also getting a full time developer job. But I recognize I am in the top few % at my age and would not blame anyone for staying with their parents for longer. Especially if they were building up savings to help them in life.
The problem with regular programming is that you can see the code but not the data, and the problem with spreadsheets is that you can see the data but not the code.

You might be on to something with the “apply” idea. What if there was a split screen where you could see both code/operations and data and could mix them together with all the transparency of a spreadsheet? macros would just exploit code as data?

Same. I think they are hoping Biden will put more money into public schools and stop preferential tax treatments for the large endowments.

You are right that it fits the public narrative & rhetoric, but many (perhaps most) of them went to elite schools. It is probably just posturing.

Intel can design and make RISC-V chips without buying SiFive. And buying SiFive doesn't give them any control over the ISA at all.
Tried the canoe thing in the lake when I was a kid many many years ago. I recall the night before report cards were due, and there was a patch on the canoe that was clearly a report card (at my grade school they were about 11" by 14" folded in two).

These days I generally sleep soundly--the main difficulty is in getting to bed in time to get eight hours in before daylight.
Yes it is true! You still don’t get it, and I don’t think I can convince you. Energy = Security. This is an fundamental axiom. Security of transactional data grows with every block in a PoW chain. PoS finally breaks down to mutant PoW with stake grinding; among other oligarchical concerns. We must spend energy to sustain the hardest money humans have known. Yes, it is a deep ideology that a monetary network must incur ongoing continued capital investment! Everyone looking for a cheap n easy way out with PoS. No free lunch.
Spoofing an IP address is easy. Receiving the packets sent to that address when you don't control that address - not so easy.
> The actual last thing in the world corporate users want is an authentication system their IT department doesn't control absolutely.

You'd think that, but I can't remember how many people have asked me how to implement mutual authentication using whatever random client certs their partners send to them and who don't realize that putting all those issuers in the SSL handshake bloats the heck out of it.

So they may well end up both accepting every random client cert issued by Entrust, Verisign, etc. and then advertising that fact to the world with every SSL handshake.
> fact that people have multiple identities on purpose.

Most people still use the same password (or password management device, or physical MFA device) for both their work and personal logins. This is evidence that most people have the same identity, as would be intuitive. I’m not sure what the bigger picture is, but password secrets are the single service model for identity.
Maybe but I imagine automatic daily backups from 5 different machines would be a headache to do with tape.
It's quite easy. He's a creative writing major. His girlfriend however has a good shot as a FAANG job. Running an Amazon / Microsoft / etc Seattle SDE1 job with no raises, at $120k a year, 27k in loans and $9k / year in room/board at our house == ~275k. Of which over 4 years, 90k is a lot to spend over the top for 2 kids who don't leave the house and only want pc upgrades.

Versus them spending about $4k/month on living expenses out of house, 48k/year.

That's also assuming she has a FAANG job, not say, the same expenses but $58k/year starting data eng job.
I'm in my mid 30s and I am going through this addiction of reddit/youtube and other distractions for the past 10 years. I've always known how harmful it is and I want to change. Do you have any tips for someone like me? I was still able to become an engineer, but I feel like I can be better. Like everyone else my motivation and drive was so much higher when I was younger. I might be using these distractions as a form of escapism for my depression.
False negatives are common when testing on the first week of symptoms. But after 1-2 weeks serology testing is accurate. My 1st exam was negative and the 2nd (after 2 weeks) was positive. There are other viruses with symptoms similar to Dengue like Zika and Chikungunya.
I think we are living in a post "IP address" world to be to totally honest.

I can often switch thru many IP addresses in an hour (especially travelling) - various WiFi points, 4G, etc. Services will appear incredibly broken these days if they require a new login per IP address.

Obviously you could force all traffic to be routed thru a VPN and list it there, but it seems people are moving away from that approach.

To me, the better question is how are these cookies get stolen in the first place?
I'd like to see an as-blind-as-possible test of water vs vodka in the pie crust.

Kenji has other pie crust recipes where he talks about encouraging gluten formation.

Of course it's possible that there are some recipes where you want to encourage gluten formation and some where you want to discourage it. But I'm starting to get skeptical about this stuff, considering I've never once seen actual data tables about gluten levels, or even a clear indication that the final results were compared with an unbiased methodology.

That said, serious eats is the only website I get recipes from, and I love all Kenji's recipes. This is just something that bugs me about every popular "food science" source that I can recall.
I'm a male FAANG employee in my 30's living with my parents.

It's nice. My dad makes us lunches, my mom cooks dinners, and I do yardwork. My girlfriend lives a few miles away with her parents, who are great. We regularly eat with one family or the other, and we often sleep together at one house or the other. We use the family cars.

Except for the job, we'd be considered failures for this nice life.
There's sectorlisp that appears to fit into two sectors but is yet shy of their single-sector goal: https://github.com/jart/sectorlisp
I don't even understand how this happens. I was kicked out of home at 16. Neither of my parents would have allowed me to stay at home until my thirties.

Then again, I'm a father now and I can't imagine ever asking my daughter to leave home. But I would definitely expect her to have a job and contribute to household expenses well before her 30's.
“Selecting for intelligence”. You have the answer under your nose and can’t see it.

You’re not selecting for “intelligence” when the barriers that were in place for 200 years are what define it.
Book Review: How Children Fail
> I cannot see anything good coming from it and there will always be a bias not based in factuality, but politics.

Well, Google isn't omnipotent and thus it only echos back results which are popular with people, which is basically politics, so yes. If everyone tomorrow instantly started thinking the world was flat (and previous flat earthers start saying the world is round) Google's results would shift pretty dramatically to whatever is the most popular side.
Yes, the problem is that I'm lumped into a group using a term that doesn't describe me accurately.

> What purpose is served by focusing on skin color?

I'm as clueless as you on this. Skin color is largely unimportant, and we'd make a lot more progress as society if we stopped focusing on it so much. Sad reality (at least in the U.S.) is that people seem to care a lot about what color you were fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to inherit from your parents.

> Nobody thinks Blacks are literally black. Nobody thinks Whites are literally white.

Awesome! Then let's use accurate terms! (If we must)
So your belief is that these guys are just in constant relationships, jumping from one to the next with so many options that they never take those relationships to the next stage? The parent poster claimed that the vast majority of breakups are initiated by women, though! So there's a curious adjacency between the idea that everything just gets handed to them and the idea that women disapprove of them and find them wanting. Their standards are simultaneously too high and too low? Do we just believe women are stupid? "I need to give this man whatever he wants because there's only 1 of him for every 4 women, but then I'm gonna dump him the first time I get annoyed!"?? Really? None of these ideas really fits anyone I personally know, either.

The idea that only some small fraction of men get any dates at all flies in the face of everything I've seen. Is there any solid demographic data suppporting this idea that only 1 in 4, or 1 in 10, or whatever, men is actively dating or in a relationship? Not message data from a dating app, because there's a LONG process between "sent a message on a dating app" and "in a relationship" but actual data on relationships. In the world as its being described here, you'd have a huge perpetually-single population...

I believe the actual "can't find a date to save my life" crowd is much smaller and less representative than it thinks it is. The internet is very perspective-distorting here. These are all surface-level-plausible claims that don't seem to hold up to any real scrutiny.

From what I understand, the problem is not minimum wages, but unstable employment. You may be getting paid an acceptable amount but at the drop of a hat your employer will say that you aren't working next week which is much harder to cope with than earning less but knowing you will have x in the bank every week.
Yes, I understand. The point is, with a single oscillator (emphasis, I mean oscillator) being the source of all derived clocks, synchronizing once is sufficient, as all clocks will keep a fixed relation.

If, say, the video card had its own oscillator (comparably how modern video cards do or did), the clock domains would drift from each other and frequent resynchronization were necessary (but you'd just use the interrupt instead that most likely would be added in this scenario).

But I think you helped me understand the scheme. I'd add that according to the article, a single frame is not necessarily enough, given the description on how synchronization can be missed at the first attempt, but this is hardly relevant, given that the synchronization still likely happens only once and within a brief timeframe.
Same with the UC system, if you look at the Asian/Asian-American demographic it's in some cases close to double that of comparable non-race blind institutions. When I was going through the college application process in my day, the unspoken Asian/Asian-American quotas for top private institutions were accepted as a given rule of the game which led to some pretty vicious rivalries among my peer group (whether accurate or not, there was a notion that our district was allocated a sub-quota of the overall quota, so it was perceived to be a zero-sum game as to who would get HYPSM offers each year). Even if the recent court rulings weren't in their favor, it's heartening to see newer cohorts of Asian-American applicants start to challenge the rules directly instead of solely focusing on their internal competition
Several of my young amazon coworkers had 500-800k at 4 years out of college with the stock going up. One basically retired (he is very frugal and allergic to everything and never goes outside) at 4.5 years.

I'm just pointing out the possiblities for them.

> > Commodity-representative/redeemable currencies cam be created at will

> No they certainly can not. Not without an actual supply of the commodity.

Yes they can. (And there is plenty of historical example of that happening.) Heck, pre-state-monopoly banknotes were essentially a redeemable virtual currency over the currency in which they were denominated which often relied very heavily on this trait.

There is a risk associated with doing so, but that's also true of fiat currency, though the exact failure mode is different.

I work with a large enterprise company that is actively thinking about this problem within their organization. The long and short of it is that everything in Slack is ephemeral past a month or so. Everything gets wiped on a rolling basis, including all media and messages.

If you want some domain to be documented, it happens outside of Slack. Secrets go in a dedicated secret management resource that requires 2FA for every login with strict timeouts and audits.

For the team I work on, this means piling more crap in Jira and Confluence. If a decision is made over Slack, that decision is then codified in a ticket or in a Confluence document. This also means some people constantly send links to the same confluence pages over and over again since there's no history for someone to search through.

I think overall it's a decent solution if you're diligent managing the tradeoffs. I can't really think of a better way to keep things off of a platform where they shouldn't exist, other than taking the nuclear option like they're doing now (albeit with a generous countdown timer).
Why bother about how the windows installation process works or their policy for permanently disabling updates? If they changed those things would it really make you want to use Windows? I suspect not. Most people who use Windows are fine with having a MS account and fine with regular updates.

> It's the savings that are fueling cheap loans

What? I don't think that's at all true.

> the market collectively deciding that depositing money and lending it out is the best use of their money

I don't think anyone thinks that earning bank interest is the best use of their money. Interest is basically 0. In some countries you have to pay to hold deposits in banks.

> those savings have to go somewhere

They actually don't. We could legislate 100% reserve requirements for example, instead of the 0% we have today.

> Before 2008 those savings were flooding into mortgage bonds

I think you're misunderstand how banks operate these days. Banks no longer lend out proportional to the deposits they get, banks lend out as much as they can without any limit. The amount people are saving is literally irrelevant at this point. It was already basically irrelevant in 2000. https://www.newyorkfed.org/research/epr/02v08n1/0205benn/020...
I realize it is. Doesn't mean that I have to tolerate that or accept it. Be a human, start a conversation.
I think that’s a bit facile. When you look at other traditional cultures, or unmodernized cultures offspring still likely follow their parents’ footsteps, but that doesn’t mean those are caste systems. People are permitted to pursue alternatives and aren’t forbidden.
> I have not seen any evidence that on average STEM is harder in a meaningful sense than non-STEM subjects.

1) STEM admissions require vastly higher GPA's, SAT/GRE scores, and admit a smaller fraction of applicants.

https://www.admissionreport.com/university-of-cambridge

(10% of 1330 applicants accepted for Computer Science, 60% of 57 applicants accepted for BA Classics)

2) STEM graduates earn more.

https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2016/dp-pd/dt...

(72k/85k median/mean for STEM in Canada, 56k/69k for non-STEM)

3) Most STEM undergrad programs require students to take roughly half of their credits in non-STEM subjects, which they pass just fine, but non-STEM students are not required to learn about chemistry, electrical circuits, etc.

4) Math and compsci departments split (read: simplify) intro courses like "Statistics" into separate courses for STEM vs non-STEM students, for obvious reasons. I've never seen gender studies simplified for STEM students.

> if you tried to push me as an undergrad through a philosophy or history or literature degree or whatever I'd probably fail.

Ridiculous. I'm calling out your false modesty. If you obviously had enough intelligence and work ethic to get a PhD (any doctorate, but especially math), and then gainfully work as a physicist, you obviously could have passed any other 4-year undergrad program in any field. Undergrad is a low bar to clear.

---

One more note on this topic: when comparing fields/careers like this, I don't find it useful to look at how difficult things are for the top performers. Everything is super competitive at the very top level. Is it harder to be a Fields medalist or a Formula 1 driver? I don't know; there's literally only a handful of genius/superhuman people at that level. But looking at the median level, ask people if they would rather take a math test or a driving test and the results will be predictable.
It’s time to break up the education system from all the extracurricular fluff. The universities are fostering identities around themselves: students join debate teams, sports teams, religious groups , orchestra, etc under the aegis of their universities and attach their personal identities to these things.

To me personally it seems kind of ridiculous. What if you are a young adult who is interested in trades, but you want to play in an orchestra. You can’t access an orchestra (there are seven of them in Harvard!) of any of your local universities. You can’t even join a university gym that probably has far cheaper fees than any other gym in your area. You want to take classes in Shaolin Kempo Karate? We are sorry but you can’t because you didn’t pass “holistic” assessment of your personality by Harvard. What a weird situation where your whole social life as a young adult completely depends on assessment of your personality by gerontic professors who need to fill some quotas.

There's a spectrum. I only listed 2 options.

One end is living at home with a faang job. The other is them living on cap hill with around 3800 / month expenses and the 58k income you mentioned. The 3800 is her estimate which checks out.

There are obviously many more options in the decision matrix but this is a HN post :)
Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology is a magnet school in Virginia, often ranked the top high school in the US. Admissions is (or was) based mostly on an admissions test, with a smaller portion based on middle school grades. In recent years, the student body was 70% Asian, 20% White, and the rest other minorities. Despite literally decades of trying to increase percentages of Black and Hispanic students at the school with outreach programs and tutoring, percentages have never exceeded single digits.

So what did the school board do? They scrapped the admissions process altogether, in favor of a "holistic" one [1]. Lesson? Be careful if you're in a minority group that over-achieves your population demographics, because you will be punished for it.

How is that in validation of MMT?

We ran a huge deficit this year supporting the economy during covid. We are also seeing a spike in short term inflation and a weaker dollar. Treasury bond yields remain low but there is increasing speculation that decades of low rates could soon reverse.

Also are you attributing all value generated by Bezos's or Musk's companies to only them? What about all of the great people they employ?
