The difference is that an async function suspends on await, and continues to be active in the call stack until it returns. It doesn’t preserve the stack so much as continues to be on the stack. A Promise-returning function returns the Promise value synchronously and then/catch/etc continue from a new stack where they’re resolved.
A stationary store sounds like a mom and pop store. Yes, a kiraana from what I read sounds like a neighborhood grocer but pictures also show them looking a lot more like farmers markets. Feed stores can be like that, but it probably depends on what the area offers.
This is an odd situation that I've encountered multiple times working in an NA division of a Japanese company in those days.
I always imagined a Ph.D. was about having a good idea and demonstrating your ability to develop it, defend it, and publish. What does a 14 hour day accomplish over 8? You're not pumping out widgets, right?

Half a year back or so I built a mini SaaS product that failed, now I'm in the process of open sourcing it so that everybody can freely host it for themselves. Here's the project homepage https://magiclogin.net, it was/is transactional e-mails and e-mail authentication as a service.

Getting it ready for open sourcing is a lot more work than I anticipated, I don't want to just dump it in a Github repo and have nobody be able to actually use it, so I'm making deployment easier and writing docs on how to run it yourself.

I didn't build the project to make money necessarily, it was mostly a learning project. That doesn't mean that I didn't hope it would be at least moderately succesful financially. But it was a case of "build and they won't come" and my other projects took off much more so I couldn't justify trying to market/pivot it. The final nail in the coffin came when I received a cease and desist letter because apparently a vc-funded auth provider trademarked the term "Magic Login".. So yeah..

My point is that Haskell is older than I am, and still hasn't figured out to produce a decent developer experience.

I guess to fail to understand how if the language is as fantastic as it's made out to be, why there's no equivalent to rust-analyzer or Eclipse jdt.ls and it can't build my company's 50MB binary in less than half an hour. And why is this state of affairs tolerated for decades?

Pascal/Delphi had an IDE and Dev UX that, according to programmers old enough to have used it, surpasses the productivity of most modern tools. And it is capable of compiling a billion lines of code in a couple of minutes.

https://www.fmxexpress.com/ryzen-9-5950x-one-billion-lines-o...

So what is up with Haskell?

"Ymmv I guess" isn't what I would call a sound approach to core language tooling.

> other than that you can rant.

Oh no, I purposefully left all of the concrete complaints and details out.

Unless someone wants to. Then I can dump a wall of particular things that are broken.

Not that you asked, but just find things you enjoy and do the shit out of them. It seems that keeping the mind busy and fulfilled is a part of a long and happy life. Seen a number of folks fall into a sort of purpose hole when they got everything they ever asked for. It’s a strange thing. It’s sort of like… okay? Now what. We did it. What else is there. But really it’s the same things there always was, just that the external forces are removed :)

As an Indian who recently moved to the US, this list captures a lot of things that surprised me. One of the biggest things I was shocked by is the number of choices in US supermarkets - 100s of varieties of chips, 4-5 different sizes of eggs along with a choice of white/brown/cage-free/organic, 4 types of milk (skim/1%/2%/whole), 10s of types of bread etc. Back in India, we have considerably fewer choices in each of the ones I mentioned even in the bigger supermarkets.

Goodhart's Law ensures that if you require technological advances, you will get some. For instance, the SSC was going to bring us flat panel displays.

What?

Yes, I recall at the time that when news articles talked about the SSC, flat panel displays were mentioned in multiple articles. Now this was certainly a case of one article influencing the others, with the original information source buried in obscurity.

We're really bad at projecting the technological outcomes of any specific science research project, and asking scientists or their funding agencies to do so is just an invitation for them to make up some bullshit. I'd prefer that they are just honest with their expectations.
I hope there's swift backlash to this move. It's so scummy it would make the mob blush. I bought a lifetime license with the expectation that I can use it forever. I evaluated the software based on it's feature set at the time and thought it was a fair deal.

How can they take back what they've already sold me and hold data synced to iCloud hostage until I pay more? If that doesn't violate the law in some way it should. It's basically extortion, but for something minor enough they hope they can get away with it.

Apple, Google, and Microsoft should have huge incentive to crack down on this type of behavior too. The message for users is clear. Never ever use software from their app stores because the loss of control will be used against you eventually. Don't trust big tech with any of your workflow today because they'll use that as leverage to cheat you tomorrow.

"The Cloud" is nothing more than the biggest vendor lock-in scheme we've ever seen. I hope it all implodes as people wise up to the scheme.

I wish sites like Reddit and HN were less sensitive about posting personal information because this is the kind of thing where I think it would be useful to have a database that tracks the executives making these kinds of decisions. I'd love to be able to look up a company and see that people A, B, and C who have a history of being customer hostile work there so I could avoid them.

I wish hiring people that are currently executives at their company would be toxic and brand damaging so the greedy scammers making these kinds of decisions would see lifelong career damage as a result.
Just like the climate change response, the response to this pandemic has really laid bare the selfishness of the old, privileged, ruling class and their willingness to take from younger generations for their own benefit.

Closing down schools and setting back their learning, trying to force vaccines onto age groups where they may do more harm than good, etc is just absurd. Totally unscientific and unbalanced.

I have been reverse engineering automotive ECUs for a while now - https://github.com/bri3d/VW_Flash . It's a nice change from my day job in enterprise engineering management, and I've met some fun people and taught several folks a lot of new concepts, which is always extremely rewarding.

My latest project has been reverse engineering the data-flash encryption in Simos18 ECUs. After some work, it oddly appears the encryption algorithm used is Mifare Hitag2. I'm hoping to be able to re-encrypt NVRAM channels soon, although the overall data flash "filesystem" / channel-system layout needs some more work before I am ready to release my findings.

I've always marvelled at the huge discrepancy in sleep needs between people; many need 7-8 hrs per night, but some report 4-6 feeling optimal. Anyone care to guess if future technology/medicine might ever be able to improve rest/recovery efficiency to the point that people only need to spend 5-10% of their lifespan unconscious instead of ~30%? Or at least even the playing field so we can all rock 6 hrs and feel amazing?
Lots of people don't like carpeting but I prefer it in the living areas. Benefits:

Provides dampening of sounds

Not freezing cold on my feet

Comfy, welcoming and homely feeling (subjective)

Spills are very rare and permanent damage can, in most cases, be avoided by cleaning the mess properly right away. Carpeting should be shampooed once in a while too.

Carpeting does not last forever, however.

I can't stand carpeting on stairs though, such a pain to clean!
> Have you decided on a specific idea or are you interested in the space generally?

Thinking of developing educational content and digital twin in the related domain.

Those would be the gamers. But I am targeting students. And not many students can afford high-end devices. I am more interested in devices such as Google Cardboard, Zapbox and AR4E. High cost of devices should not become a roadblock for educational content distribution.

> Of course I could imagine exceptions here, so apologies in advance if you have some specific application in mind where the above factors aren't important.

I am thinking of developing educational content using Space exploration as a theme. Some applications that I have in mind will require interaction and collaboration. So a set of ZapBox and CloudXR is the ideal combination. But to start with I will use Google Cardboard.

Chinese obesity has increased a lot over the past decades, with over half of Chinese now overweight: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-55428530

Largely the same reasons as the West; the cheap street food or fast food is not particularly healthy.

> Wang Dan, a nutritionist in the city of Harbin, told the AFP news agency that many adults in the country now "exercise too little, are under too much pressure, and have an unhealthy work schedule".

Anecdotally, there is also societal concern that the one-child policy now means that four doting grandparents are spoiling the one child with food because they remembered living through less abundant times.

More and more I wonder if there’s a cultural/community aspect to crypto. Humans are meaning and group seeking animals and there is a hard to break value from that relationship. While some are likely ephemeral (hype coins like shiba) the amount of community formed around ETH and BTC is non-trivial and provides something akin to “value”.

Shortage of cheap TVs, electronic components (top 3 exporters: HK, China, Taiwan) or antibiotics (China: 90% of global market). Nothing of consequence.

The British Empire failed to hold the Suez Canal in 1956. The Americans stood at ready to blow the UK fleet to smithereens and closed the deal by threatening a run on the British pound. In the aftermath, US raised to the role of global superpower and UK was relegated to the has-been rubbish pile. There is a distinct possibility that China may just walk into Taiwan with no open US opposition. Or they may think they can.

100% we should. Work isn't the only thing a hacker should be doing.

I would love to hear about your time almost totally away from computers - do you feel more excited about tech? Less burnt out? Or even more determined to move industries?

I read through your linked comments, and I think I'm in a fairly similar place to where you were - lucky to have had a high savings rate for long enough that I can afford a long break; maybe forever if I'm frugal, or switch to a less-well-paid industry - and this has made me feel like I'm probably in my last corporate tech job. I haven't pulled the plug yet and probably won't particularly soon, but I'd love your perspective about what's after that leap.

In many cultures, they have what is sometimes called the "undertaker's" resting face.

When you receive a smile in those cultures, you can be sure that it is earned, and not a false 'Have a Nice Day' smile.
The value of a share typically comes from the productive assets the company owns. If you buy all 468 million shares of QSR, you get all the restaurants, the brands, the vendor relationships, the employee relationships, the customer relationships. If you have a smaller fraction, you have a smaller fraction of that, plus you are entitled to a share of the profits generated.

But if you buy a Bitcoin, you own no productive asset and therefore are entitled to no profits. At one point the theory was you could trade it for something useful, like other currencies. But it's a pretty bad currency, so people mostly have stopped pretending it is useful for that.

There are answers to the rest of your questions, which are complicated and depend on exchange and jurisdiction, but people can look up the details if they want.
"There is no practical way to 100% ensure that every piece of software, and every chip, in every piece of equipment is clean"

If we really cared about security and reliabilty, all critical infrastructure would be open source, both software and hardware, so that multiple suppliers could produce the parts.

Instead we choose 'free market' with a thumb on the scale. This does nothing to protect from random hackers and criminals, ignorance, sloppyness and lazyness.

Ask HN: Freelancers, do you bill for time spent filling knowledge gaps?
Hi HN,

At the start of this year I set a personal goal to blog more. I wanted to 1) improve my writing skills, 2) build an audience, and 3) if the stars aligned, start earning a bit of supplemental income via paid posts or subscriptions.

I looked at the existing blogging/newsletter solutions out there, and none of them quite fit what I was looking for. They had paywalls (Medium), features I didn't need (Wordpress), too minimal a design (Buttondown), lacked transparency (Substack), or cost money even when I wasn't earning yet (Ghost).

So, I built my own.

No trackers or tracking cookies are used (beyond Plausible, for privacy-preserving analytics). Speed and minimalism is a big focus: all blogs are rendered as static HTML, using as little JS as possible.

You can write blogposts in markdown, publish them, let your readers subscribe, and (when you're ready) connect your Stripe account to start charging readers for access to paid posts. You also always maintain ownership of your posts, and you can export all data at any time.

Still in the early stages, so any feedback would be great.

Thanks!
