Those Italian buildings were created as highly practical structures at the time, in waterway locations that constrained the geometry of how the city grew, so they have an interesting and historical appearance. Also a lot of the Italian architecture is not a building, but an entire city, not sure those really count.

Ironic that Windows doesn't work well with a printer using a Unix interface?
Robinhood Says It Was Hacked and Extorted but Nobody Lost Any Money
It's the combination of things if you ask me.

I'm out of car analogies today but how about a software analogy?

"just don't slip or make mistakes" makes sense as an "Acceptance Criteria".

The implementation details of that? I minimize my mistakes and slip ups by doing things like always fully curly-bracing all of my if-statements and actually enforcing it through a linter that doesn't let me merge any code to master that doesn't adhere to this rule, because it'll make the build red and our repo doesn't allow me to merge anything that doesn't have a green build and I can't push directly to master.

Do I still slip up sometimes? Sure, the build catches it. The slip ups this doesn't catch? We try to find implementation details that reduce those slip ups too. Rinse, repeat.

If you slip up as a manager/team lead? Show your developers. Show how you handle it. Lead by example.
New airs are being told today and probably will be well into 2022 so its odd to talk about it first being sold a year ago. The average lifespan of a PC is 6 years. It's doesn't seem to me that 8GB is enough even now with browsers and apps built on web tech being as hungry as they are. It certainly wont be enough in 2027 or 2028.
Housing is not in CPI. They use "owners' equivalent rent" which is a subjective (cooked) metric.
It's worth noting that the breakeven rate is measuring what market participants are expecting the "official" inflation rate to be, as measured by the CPI-U. That may differ meaningfully from changes in the cost of living as experienced by the average American.

> meaning the real economy could well be full of stuff that destroys value over a 30-year horizon as a norm!

This is probably somewhat hyperbolic since companies who borrow anywhere in the ballpark of the risk-free rate (i.e., large, responsible, and generally financially conservative organizations) typically have an internal hurdle rate that is well in excess of their cost of capital.

What is true is that the hurdle rate exceeds the cost of capital mainly as a risk mitigation mechanism; it is a margin of safety. IRR projections almost invariably depend on certain assumptions about future business conditions. So artificially depressing the cost of capital can result in "more marginal" projects getting the green light, and therefore can increase the potential for financial damage in a serious recession. You can think of it as "risk leverage".
Well now you have.
Hmmm but I didn't say anything about wages which I'm very happy to pay more and do now .. tipping more then 20 percent, tipping sub makers at Jersey mikes and happy to pay up to $30 for a burger fries and drink at five guys. Going out to eat with a friend or a date is now a $60 to $100 affair at Applebees or places like it with tip. All good to me!
But that goes against the current zeitgeist where you absolutely must love everyone (except your political and ideological opponents)... or else!!!
Personally, I believe UBI is a good offset for automation strength - an offset for lack of jobs.

We're no where near full automation so probably a bit early for UBI, but I do think there's an argument that if the workforce demand isn't met, automation will be used to backfill. Takes time of course, but it's a one way street.
A few hundred milligrams bound in a pill is probably different than a bowl of ice cream or bar of chocolate.
It depends on location, if you're biking in a city at rush hour you're stopping every other block, getting stuck behind other cyclists, and at least where I live, constantly slowing down to avoid getting killed by potholes. There's basically no way you're doing 5 miles in 20 minutes.
> "Sign in with Apple" is hilariously useless since privacy-violating apps can just require a phone number for "security" or "verification" purposes.

Apple is one of the only companies with both the ability and a possible incentive to push back on that behavior. I wonder if they will.
I know it won't happen because of some major vendor using functionality from Windows 3.1, but I kind of wish that Microsoft would just take the printing subsystem out of Windows and replace it with something built around CUPS. It works so darn well, and doesn't require `net stop spooler; net start spooler` to get going. Maybe their Universal Print initiative will help, but that requires a connector or a new printer to work.
If they used the real inflation numbers, this problem would be even more astronomical than it is: https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF10522

because

> Mandatory expenditures, such as Social Security, Medicare, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program account for about 65% of the budget.

The budget is about 6 Trillion US dollars (FY22). Take 65% of 6 Trillion and start multiplying it by CPI and you'll see why it's in their best interest to understate it, and understate it greatly. If it were calculated higher, they'd have to borrow more than the $1.9 Trillion that they already are. To pay for a single year.

If you look at the debt chart, you'll notice it basically starts growing, and growing exponentially, around 1970, when Nixon took the US off the gold standard and going to a fiat currency with no real backing other than the gov'ts word, and the people believing in it. That's waning.

Ask HN: What are the main things that happen in coding?
I'm curious who here knows the power of 'necessary.' Here's what I mean: if I asked what's necessary for fire, you'd say some variation of "oxygen, fuel, and enough heat." [1] But hidden is awesome potential for out of the box thinking.

For instance:

Say I'm camping in the woods, and I want to start a fire. Knowing what's necessary, I look around me: my clothes can be fuel, and my glasses can concentrate the sun's heat. [2]

Do you see what I mean? When I want something to happen, I supply what's necessary. This lets me try new things and quickly learn why they work (or don't.) It's the fastest feedback loop I know.

Now say it's 1833. Humanity's tools for artificial light are candles, gas lamps, and fireplaces. They're expensive, inconsistent, and a fire risk. But if I play with what's necessary, I may notice that fire isn't needed for artificial light, so I place some fuel and heat in a vacuum.[3]

So: When I want something to stop, I suppress a necessary condition. That's a straight way to invent the electric light-bulb (based on nothing nobody's seen) and change civilization forever!

I hope it's clear that needs and causation are almost the same. Necessary is just a way to explain every solution that has worked or is yet to be invented for making or preventing what happens. Thus, it may be useful for learning to code.

So I entreat you, fellow hackers: what are things that happen to coders? I know bugs happen, so bugs have necessary conditions. We could invent a new way to debug. But I bet more things happen in computer science. What, though?

See you in the comments.

*Notes*

[1]: My version is oxidizer, enough fuel for a chain reaction, and heat at the fuel's flash point.

[2]: Oxygen will be in the air, of course.

[3]: The first practical light-bulb was electric current (heat), passing through a carbonized bamboo string (fuel), inside a vacuum tube.
I think you’re discounting that bus line too much. Most of the bigger SF buses pre-COVID were easily clocking between 15-25K daily ridership. If your target market is the neighborhood you stick the store in, that is sufficient.

Or look at it this way: you and I may not be privy to the logic, both Target and Whole Foods have opened up a number of stores both within and outside the vicinity of the SF BART tunnel. If they had the option to but didn’t stick some of their stores closer to BART, there’s probably a reason for it. Speaking of which, last time I was around Civic Center I saw Whole Foods was building a second Market Street location around there, due to open next year I believe?

One of the things I love about software is that if you put your mind to it, you can have some of both. You can have both the culture and the process, because with software, we can create cultures of encoding process into automated procedures, like continuous integration and strong automated testing suites.

This obviously doesn't completely solve the "culture or process?" question on its own. I just enjoy software for having a relatively unusual place where the two can be overlapped. I'd have a hard time going into any other engineering field where I lost unit tests, they're so integrated into how I think.

I actually kinda consider myself personally not all that strong with processes... but you wouldn't know it to look at my output because I put the processes in my code.

(This is also one of the reasons I find the slowly-but-not-slowly-enough dwindling obsession with claiming programming isn't a "real engineering discipline" to be silly. We don't do what all the other engineers do because we have quite a lot of options that are better than what other engineers do. Sure, if you're a "senior" dev who has never heard of a unit test, you may be cowboying it too much, but, I mean, other engineering disciplines would murder for some of the processes we can create around quality.)
> The fact that Apple basically threw out all his 'innovations' for the new Macs speaks volumes.

Jony Ive did incredible work at the core of absolutely iconic products-- iMac, iPhone, iPod, iPad --- and is a key figure in Apple's overall beloved laptop designs.

Yes, in the past few years, since a bit after becoming CDO--- he went a little too far in on "form over function" (touch bar, no ports, butterfly keyboard)-- and Apple's reversal of these things is a good thing. But that hardly erases the rest of his legacy reaching back through all of Jobs-era Apple.
For me: great smartcard support. Smartcards with EC are still rare. I think the latest yubikeys can do it with OpenPGP but it takes some fiddling and I also use physical cards.

And really, RSA-2048 is more than sufficient to keep all but the most funded hackers out. And if those target me, they'll get in anyway.

> I wonder how much that kind of exposure can be attributed to luck and just being at the right place at the right time?

First, I think we need to credit that the different message the Pi offered (this is a tool for educating kids and goofing around, as well as hacking and making and higher education) and the different mission they took on helped generate enthusiasm. People like the OP are indifferent to the message and the mission, and that is fine, but they assume everyone shares their priorities and get confused by the evidence to the contrary.

No idea about luck, but being in the right place at the right time always helps. Stuff like Beagle and Arduino and embedded linux paved the way before them to a certain extent.
This looks nearly perfect apart from the mysql dependency. Sqlite should be more than enough for this use case.

FHA loans are 0-5% down - conventional are 20%. 20% covers a lot of repairs if they have to repossess and sell at a loss; 0% covers way less.
I strongly disagree that this is pretty. It looks like the logo for a 1920s tea room. It's busy, hard to read, and very forgettable. This fails as a logo on every level.
That was the stereotypical pattern for decades, but gentrification has somewhat reversed it in first tier cities. Families with small children do still tend to move out to the suburbs in search of better quality schools and more living space.
Yes, just like the pesky vaxxers "no true scotsman" the ivermectin away by saying "well the trained experts disagree"

Clearly, "no true scotsman" can validly be applied to college training in the topic at hand

Exporting technology for reactors is tricky business. While yes, you can build reactors without proliferation concerns (see Iran Deal), there's the issue that if you're learning to build reactors you're going to export the knowledge necessary to build weapons. That's the tricky part. And if you have any nuclear technology, we're going to have to spend more money to spy on you to ensure that's all you are doing.

Nuclear weapons aren't always a liability either. It is one of NK's greatest defenses. Specifically that if attacked they know they will lose and have no real reason to not use the hail mary. This helps their chances even if China decides to no longer protect them. Obviously this is country dependent though and depends on a lot of factors. But just trying to say that it isn't always a liability.
The parallel road is not a full city block away as you might imagine. More like an ally but an actual road; the businesses have back entrances and there is foot traffic.

The congestion would not just be on that section of road, it would propogate out and cause major issues. The bikes are not going to experience congestion.
Yeah I like his book in general, but all the gurus usually work on their own or dip into projects. I'd love to see him in a typical code base that was written by a bunch of people that left years ago and a manager that wants new functionality tomorrow.
A short and telling story that I first read decades ago, in a community college English class. All that I recall now of the instructor's lesson was that the elephant was considered symbolic of the British Empire - which, in retrospect, was dying when Orwell wrote this. (Not too far from Wikipedia's current take - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_an_Elephant )

Now, with ~half a century more history behind us, things don't seem so simple. Independence started out so well...but after Burma's/Myanmar's coups, ethnic violence, atrocities...perhaps even British colonial rule was not quite so bad after all. );
I've had a couple of the Marathon first gen for 3-4 years and I've been very happy with them. Partly because they are $<30, but they also have very long life (I've only changed batteries once), love the switchable scroll wheel.

I was looking at all of the fancy ones and came very close to buying one, but after getting the Marathon I declared it my official mouse.
This makes me wonder, is there a SQLite equivalent for JSON based data?

What happened in 2014?

I say the beginning of the end was when the millenials were in enough positions of power to utilize the internet for PR. I feel like in North America, the Obama campaign in 2008 opened a lot of eyes to the power of the internet. Maybe his second term more so. Certainly was a tirefire by the end of his run (Trump).
Why do you you think that people in the 1200s will never be able to use the Internet? Likewise, why do you think that flying a plane will remain possible in the future or that we will have had computers in the past? Those things are all based on assuming "laws of physics."
The article makes it clear this person is behaving obnoxiously in a borderline threatening way. Why would you reward and encourage that behavior? They aren't a student, it's some guy running a script to scan for vulnerabilities and then beg for bounties.

> now it’s a necessity to play and level up in the game.

Wow. Have you considered just getting better, or quitting? This is a very selfish way of thinking. You are playing at everyone else's expense. It's such a huge waste of time when I play against cheaters in games. Sometimes I can still beat them because the players that resort to cheating are not very good. When cheaters aren't around, I have lots of fun.

Are you even having fun when you cheat? Imagine playing soccer and you bribe the judge to let you pick up the ball with your hands whenever you want. All the players stare in disbelief and disdain you, and some leave the game. Everyone boos you. You slowly walk into the goal uncontested. Wow, is that fun? Why do you keep coming back every day to do it? Why are you spending this time getting this referee into other people's games?

I know you probably don't care, but just remember that it's not "just a game". You are stealing the time of lots of people who are just trying to have an evening of fun with their friends after a hard days of work. It is antisocial behavior for your own monetary gain. How can you justify this to yourself?
As someone who lives in this part of the country and uses an ebike for nearly everything for the last 4 years, it can be pretty annoying. Especially when it's raining, as I'm going to get soaked and there's pretty much nothing I can do about it other than bring a change of clothes and find a place to warm up when I get to my destination.

I use these to keep my hands warm while riding: https://cozywinters.com/shop/bar-mitts.html

I rarely use just the motor when I ride, and that helps keep me warm; I'm usually pedaling just as hard as if I were riding without a motor. The motor makes me much faster, and also a lot less of an annoyance to vehicles. :)
That's fair. I biked in San Diego last week and the lights/potholes were brutal.

People who have more background than me: What does this have to do with memory and recall of immune responses?

So they infected a mouse, monitored the mouse’s neurons to see which ones are active during inflammation, then waited a while, then hit those neurons again and observed inflammation even though there’s no disease the second time.

If they hit the “same” neurons in a mouse that never had the disease in its lifetime, wouldn’t they observe inflammation without memory? (I don’t think they tried it)

It's a very easy bike commute for the kind of people who self-select as riding bicycles.

It's absolutely OK for people to be negative. Ive isn't reading this. He's not some downtrodden underdog that we should root for. He's arguably the most famous non-clothing designer in the world. We can and should critique his work and, if it's bad, rip it to shreds.

This looks like it would be a nice pattern for cross-stitching. It doesn't have any qualities that make it succeed as a logo.

Also, as the pandemic fades, people will probably start spending more money on services and less money on goods.
I really liked this video by 3Blue1Brown explaining how blockchain works: https://youtube.com/watch?v=bBC-nXj3Ng4

Things that I didn't realize until I watched the video:

* "Mining" bitcoin means processing transactions for other people. Miners do time consuming operations to process transactions.

I had never heard of 3Blue1Brown before someone showed me that video, but he has a bunch of other good math videos. I liked the one about pi showing up in weird places.
The military just follows the orders of the authoritarian government that funds and controls them. They are just an extension.
That would be an extremely leisurely pace. If you commute regularly on a bike and are reasonably fit, you should be able to ride at about 12 mph without breaking a sweat, which gets you a time of about 25 minutes.

I prefer forums due to similar reasons, but I found asking questions as a user on Discord more "successful", so to speaking.

On a forum, the chance of your question being totally ignored is much, much higher. Some do have some staffs that seem to be obligated to reply, and they will just.. copy and paste some templates.

On Discord, even the devs and staffs are not always there to answer questions, there are often enough other users that can help you, and they are willing to discuss with you if details are not clear (as soon as you're polite). Even though they don't always solve the problem, you can tell someone actually looked into it. And all these happen in real-time, without at best half day delay between each exchange (it helps that Discord is hella popular so lots of people are online all the time, and the chance to notice your message on a server they're in is much higher. Can't say the same for any random forum.)

I still prefer GitHub issues, but after that, Discord. Forums (or the communities it normally forms) really don't cut it.
