Definitely! Was it an "optional update"? They recently stopped offering that because it was poorly presented: it was not actually an update rather installation of a different driver altogether.

Also, monitor driver? Are you sure?
This thing with bank accounts: Why wouldn't everyone do it? Why would I lose money that I paid tax on just because someone, somewhere decided that want to "encourage" spending?

"Optimize taxes" - What exactly would be wrong with wanting to reduce the taxes you pay?

Did you ever calculate how much you are paying % wise in taxes? If you add all taxes including VAT, fuel taxes, random taxes and such you'll be suprised at the % you get "the priviledge" to pay as an employee every year.
No, the TDP is configurable up to 25W (and down to 10). Again check the link of the score distribution I put in another comment, it's all over the place, and the passmark results are not a reliable comparison at that point.

No - your £85k guarantee is across all your accounts with that bank (even across the same group of banks). Straight from the source:

_If you have money in multiple accounts with banks that are part of the same banking group (and share a banking licence) we have to treat them as one bank. This means that our compensation limit applies to the total amount you hold across all these accounts, not to each separate account._
Well said. I design board games as a hobby and we go to playtesting events where random strangers try to play your unfinished game. As you said, it quickly becomes clear what works and what doesn't. It exposes you to people who play your game from a different place and with a different goal than you and your insider group. It is quite eye opening. As you said, the key is to stfu and just watch.
I find the idea that everyone needs an address is outdated and harmful at least to some groups. For various reasons, I've spent lots of time with "no fixed address" but I'm still forced to declare a permanent home address for my driver's license, healthcare, credit cards, etc. Worse, if you move between provinces regularly, many services differ depending what province you're "living in". You end up having to lie and rely on someone who does have a stable address, which should not be requirements of going about your business.
Yes, thank you! That was it.
You have to keep cash on hand for emergencies. I can’t wait to cash out a mutual fund or stocks. Not to mention that I don’t want certain savings, such as a new car, to be at the mercy of the market.

The separation between documents and programs assumes we know ahead of time all the things people might want to put inside a document. The evolution of the web shows this not to be true.

Is Google maps a document? Obviously not. But a document can still embed a Google map meaningfully and sensibly.

For comparison, consider that apple just proposed adding a html tag to display 3D models, just like an image.

The problem is that even basic interaction with a 3d model requires complex controls. There is no single standard for materials and lighting. The going methods are optimized for photorealism.

So adding a model tag just means baking in a set of assumptions, and doing so before you have a good idea of the kinds of things people will want to do with it and can't.

This is the real story of the web: poorly conceived standards and APIs, frozen before the medium had time to find its feet. It's a horse designed by committee in a world of cars.

You could turn the question around: why should webpages be dynamic at all? Just make a dumb client that requests rendered SVGs from a server after a client tells you its screen size.

Oh but that can't work because it's not really a document, but a dynamically laid out program after all.

If you want to displace the single page apps of the world, design a "document" format actually capturing all the nuances people want from them... Or get off the pot.
There are differences.

Banks should NEVER give a negative interest rate. They make money on loans, time-value-of-money and other sound economic principles. There is something very very wrong when banks give negative interest rates.

The things that are very wrong that are causing it, have come into existence. It started in EU country central bank lending to banks. Now end consumers are seeing that in their personal banking.

Imaging a world where the Dutch now have a "bank" that is over the internet in another country. Their money is stored in USD stable coin, or another countries stable coin. Citizens could flee there, in mass.

First, the country (Netherlands), would try to stop the on-ramps. But sooner or later, there will be other entrepreneurs who make easy ACHes/wires that re-route to a crypto account and buy-into crypto (like a USD stable coin).

Then the country in mass, could move their bank accounts out of the Netherlands. Then banks in the Netherlands could collapse... ....or be replaced by a healthy alternative (foreign USD Stable coin backed accounts).

Then the massive fundamental problems going on in macroeconomics that cause the negative interest rates will become visible. These problems remain hidden from the citizen-base because of how technical they are. It would require they be fixed, instead of draining money from citizens to put-their-finger-in-the-dike patching the problem.
> but never once have any of them said to me, “Boy, I sure wish iPhone apps and games could ask me for my credit card number to make purchases

Non-technical people would expect to download the Kindle app and be able to buy books, or download Netflix and buy a subscription, or Subscribe to a Twitch streamer. They don't know why the apps lack these obvious features, but if they did, they'd at least be thinking “Boy, I sure wish iPhone apps and games could ask me for my credit card number to make purchases"
If the performance of the M1 with Linux matches the performance with macOS I honestly believe it's worth it. Apple has produced a wonderful product and personally I'm very likely to purchase a Macbook Pro M1 if Linux is stable on it.
It says in the article that he's not doing that.
I've argued this for years. Interest rates peaked at about the same time that wealth inequality began to diverge around 1980 or so. I don't think any of this is terribly complicated. Money is a commodity, and like all commodities, the price is set at the margin. Money also has diminishing marginal utility, so as you accumulate more of it, at some point it has less use.

Think about two people, one extremely wealthy, one middle class. The middle class guy making $75k probably has to spend all his money for consumption: food, rent, car, etc. There's little left over for saving or investing. In order for that guy to justify forgoing consumption and instead saving it, he requires a high interest rate, otherwise it's not worth it. But what about the guy worth $100 million? He can't spend it all on consumption, so he has to save a lot of it. Ah, but what's his opportunity cost? Zero. He has no choice, and the money he'll earn from interest won't even get spent anyway. So, two people, two very different marginal costs.

The world is just one giant pool of capital. Over the last four decades, as capital has shifted from being more evenly spread out amongst people with high marginal costs to a smaller group of people with marginal costs of zero, interest rates keep falling...the majority of capital now resides amongst people who can't spend it all and are happy to earn any real rate of return.
I'm learning today that most people on hn don't know how central banks work and how interest rates are set

Indeed, thank you. It's plainly pathetic this has to be said so often, especially here FFS. Every time this topic comes up "AMD can do the same, 15W" as if the "15W" figure was a terminating value from a set of industry-standard "TDP" figures. It is not, and the "TDP" listed at best offers a clue as to the power draw. Not much more. Hell, it can even differ by motherboard config. Intel encourages it.

The next emotional preservation tactic usually cites the old GF IO Die, but that was only on H/desktop series chips anyways and furthermore they still lose to Apple in sheer performance per watt.

It's August 2021 and we still have to have this conversation. Sigh

> I could never understand why is immutability not the default in all the popular languages

My take (could be wrong, happy to be corrected): Because most PL designers want speed to be pre-eminent in their language. One of the quickest way to never have your language adopted by large corporation is to have it be slower, without some obvious great benefit in productivity.

That's the catch though: Arguing for increase in productivity is harder, because it is qualitative, and ultimately subjective. Plus it's a crowded market these days in language productivity land, and unfortunately most of those languages are dynamically typed. Showing some benchmarks on paper is easy to do, and an easy way to sell a language.

So how does this all tie back in? Well, if you want to go fast, you need mutability (and up until most recent times: shared mutable memory, although this appears to be changing to non-shared mutation models). As memory and workloads get bigger and bigger, the cost of copying increases.
I don't follow.

For context, I've been thinking about learning Clojure.

I'm pretty new to the Lisp world--I went through most of SICP in Scheme years ago, but that's about it.

In 2012 Clojure was HN's second favorite programming language: https://i.imgur.com/toGKy21.jpg

What's the best argument for me learning a Lisp besides Clojure?

Serious question, I'm not particularly attached to Clojure, and I want to know what I will miss out on by going with it instead of some other Lisp.
It’s not as simple as seeing 15W and saying the thermal load is the same: they don’t have constant usage so you have to compare the actual power usage for workloads you care about. Some manufacturers are more conservative so you need uncommon combinations to hit the maximum output whereas other chips will approach that in normal usage.

This is also where design decisions matter: for example, a while back I measured hashing performance for some boxes which needed to check data integrity and an Intel chip handily lost despite being faster on everything else because the embedded processor I was comparing it to had dedicate SHA hardware which was both faster and more power efficient than a generic x86 implementation. That’s ancient history now but I would expect Apple to aggressively explore opportunities to improve their stack like that since they control it at every level - for example, I believe benchmarks have shown Objective-C message passing is considerably faster on M1.

How technical debt is hurting your software team–and your app SEC
That's true of essentially everywhere. The Bay Area is something of an outlier--partly because of geography--but there are a number of large expensive metros that you can still get to pretty affordable housing by driving an hour or two. (Or even taking a commuter rail in some cases.) To say nothing of the many metros that aren't especially expensive.
Ditto, I can do it as well. I can best describe it as looking at an object and shifting it in/out of focus.

I am moving away from VS Code and IntelliJ for this exact reason actually: on emacs, there's ALWAYS a package that supports anything you want. And it's so lightweight compared to either VSCode and IntelliJ, it's really refreshing...

Have you tried emacs/SLIME? It really isn't complicated, in fact it's the most straightforward stack I've ever tried except for maybe JS right on the browser.
Elixir was an amazing bridge between two language populations that would have died out. Ruby and Erlang.

It gave Erlang a huge immigrant population that frankly gentrified Erlang's 80s nerd vibe to a 2005 hipster aesthetic updated to 2015. 9/10 programmers writing code that runs on the Erlang VM are writing in Elixir. It also gave Ruby folks that faced the contraction of Rails as the startup juggernaut that it was, a place to go, and a runtime that enabled massive web scale (non-ironic). These folks had already hit these problems in their previous jobs, so the realworld experience of the folks that showed up was high. All of this adds up to a great outcome for Erlang, Elixir and the Ruby programmers.
From the text: Amid the recent chip shortage, triggered by the pandemic’s economic shock waves, ASML’s products have become central to a geopolitical struggle between the US and China, with Washington making it a high priority to block China's access to the machines. The US government has successfully pressured the Dutch not to grant the export licenses needed to send the machines to China, and ASML says it has shipped none to the country.

Sass didn't deprecate `/` for division for their own giggles - it's because `/` is increasingly being used in plain CSS values (most prominent example I can think of now is css grid[1]), so it became increasingly hard to distinguish raw values from Sass expressions

Then start with something else. There are dozens of operating systems out that there make an attempt to be better (for some definition of better), choose one and work with it.

> What is a reasonable price to you?

I’d say 5x median salary would be reasonable, and maybe a little more.

Where I am, Auckland, it’s about 20x and this is a significant negative.
Also worth noting that when a bank operates under multiple names, such as First Direct (part of HSBC) or Cahoot (a division of Santander), the cover applies to your total balance across all accounts, regardless of the name.

So it's worth knowing which "banks" are really just different different brands of the same parent institution, if you're trying to diversify because of this limit.

Result: learned emacs. I have to say I don't regret a second of the weeks it took me to fully grasp it :D highly recommend going down the rabbit hole.

I would recommend perhaps to start with Spacemacs though: everything is ready to do the job: just install the "layer" you want, in this case, Lisp, and you're set... if you don't like Vim just make sure to not choose "evil-mode" (Vim bindings on emacs) as I think that's what you get by default.
Then it isn't write your own OS from scratch. The constraints of the library will force your implementation around it, even if you think you have a better idea.

I am just guessing here, but I can imagine that (at least in germany) the public utility companies (or someone like that) would be required by law to supply you with water, electricity, landline and internet, access to a street, etc. Basically: if you are allowed to live in a house, you have rights that the authorities supply your basic need.
I think its reasonable that therefore, the gov can decide what zone is usable for living and which is not.

As I understand from other comments there is no "real" bathroom in this house. There might be certain rules of which "features" a space has to offer to be considered a valid place to live in.

I think both sides here are understandable. There is the gov, which has to make some regulations in order to be able to fulfill its duties and to enforce some lower bound for whats considered a place to live in. On the other side, there is a lot of people who cannot or dont want to afford this lower bound and would be happy to be able to live in something that offers less.
To some degree yes, but mainstream US is still far more culturally uniform from state to state than Europe's countries are. In Europe most of countries are nation-based and as such encapsulate also all the possible differences in ethnicities, languages, culture, religion and history to a much higher degree. Imagine each race/denomination/ethical group in US having their own independent state with their own laws and ways of life, and you get something like Europe.
>The Great Depression didn’t really end until wartime mobilization caused a surge in incomes and production that wiped out old debts, leveled the wealth distribution, and gave people confidence in the future. The end of the war also kicked off a baby boom after a long drought of births.

a) The author is going to catch some flak for being so bold as to suggest that federal government policy wasn't what dug the US economy out of the great depression.

b) If intentionally crafted policy changes designed to fix the problem were ineffective the first time why should we have reason to believe that we have any other option than to wait it out and let some yet unforeseen situational change change things?
> No one wants apps to directly interface with hardware.

I build computer kiosks and I agree wholeheartedly. So many devices/peripherals require some sort of custom implementation. Most have some sort of SDK, but not all. Better hope that SDK comes in your tech stack's language(s) of choice.

Why isn't it just data in / data out?

Even printers and scanners are a pain to deal with. Sure, Windows (and TWAIN) abstracts some of the printer/scanner communication, but it all seems forgotten. Like, why is using new hardware in my software so difficult and how come I can't just implement new hardware the same way every time? To me, it's all just data in/data out from my language runtime to the device. I couldn't care less about the implementation details in between.
Also for cargo ships, adding one person to the cargo load really adds very little to the margins. the ship was going to "sail" regardless of whether you were getting on or not.

The requirements of a package manager for application development are different than the requirements of a package manager for a system. The system packages need to play nice and be compatible with all other software intended to run more or less permanently on the same device. A package manager for application development is installing dependencies for building and testing an application meant to be run on other devices.

What are you supposed to do if you're developing an application and you want to use the latest version of requests for Python but some system utility your OS relies upon is using the distro-packaged version of requests, which is older? Your distro package manager doesn't give you the means to install dependencies on an application-by-application basis. Either everything uses it or nothing uses it. So you get virtualenvs. Back in the old C world, you would have just built and installed some .so files into a project-specific deps directory and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH when running your application for testing. virtualenv is doing exactly the same thing but automating it. And, of course, there is now conan for native libraries if you're still doing C development.

Heck, rpm won't even let you install into your own directories if you're lucky enough to get a relocatable package because you have to be root to acquire the global rpm db lock. What distro package manager lets you install temporary dependencies on an application-by-application basis? Possibly Guix?
