> What? That seems totally backwards. Don't spend money you don't have, which mean using debit. Credit is useful for the single use case of buying a house.

Using credit in this sense means using a credit card, not necessarily running up a debt in anything other than a nominal sense. Using a credit card and paying off your balance in full every month (so that no fees are assessed) is way better for later loanworthiness and similar credit-based evaluations than using a debit card.
You are plain wrong.

You cannot borrow money an IRA. I wonder if that justifies the use of a 2-beta S&P 500 ETF such as SPUU in an IRA for the most aggressive investors. The S&P 500 is more diversified than the Nasdaq 100 and should have higher risk-adjusted returns in the long run.

I’d expand “tech” beyond computers. I’ve recently gotten into mini painting and sculpting. I can get paints and brushes and magic epoxy putties and sculptable thermoplastics and precision tools for less than a nice dinner out, which is so cool. I’d bet it’s not too long ago that this would have to be something you’re seriously pursuing to make the costs worth it. [0]

Or if we’re sticking with tech = computers, I can sculpt for free in blender (the software) and print it with a 3d printer. Or paint in procreate/photoshop on my ipad with this fantastic not-really-a-pencil (and somehow procreate is only $10??). Or learn to draw from the internet.

Or the fact that nothing like D&D Beyond existed for a game I’m playing, so I was able to put up an app based on free software (react + yjs) on cloud servers god knows where for dirt cheap without knowing much of anything about any of those things.

Hobbies and leisure activities seem to be pretty accessible (in price). The downside for me is that all the accessible addictive stuff (like this site) makes it hard to actually dedicate time to the hobbies I want to spend time on.

I think that's absolutely wrong. One of the first things I started playing with when I got the car was AP authority. It's true that Tesla steering is stiff overall. It's true that Tesla AP, unlike some other driver assistance UIs, wants you to apply full override force to disengage (that is, it will fight you as hard as it can, and the car will "pop" out of AP, sometimes with a distinct swerve if you don't reverse correct).

But the force required to do that is just not high. It's not. Just try this on an empty highway. Engage AP in a context where you're doing a lane change or something and hold the wheel firmly. It won't be remotely able to overpower you. You'll feel it tug and then it will chime and give up.

I’ve been in multiple different jobs over the years where part of my compensation was stock or stock options.

Sometimes it can be some real money. At AOL in 1996, I cleared more than $80k from stock options, which was more than my base salary for the year. But I ended up walking away from stock options at AOL that would have been as much as $16m, if I had managed to find a way to stay there. But the place has just become too toxic.

I’ve also been at places where I theoretically had stock or stock options, and they wound up being literally worthless.

Stock and stock options for employees are meant to be a form of golden handcuffs.

That’s why I don’t include them in my consideration of what I would be compensated for at a job. If I get some extra money that year, great! If not, then I’m not too dejected.
It really depends where on the income and wealth ladder you are. Lower and middle income, cash is king. Upper income, you’re as invested as possible and you’re able to pay for expenses with a combination of credit/margin, investment income, and comp (salary and equity liquidation). You’re keeping as little cash on hand as possible because “cash is trash” and doesn’t keep up with inflation such that assets do.
I'd say there is some rational middle ground, and over reactions on each side.

Personally I'm sympathetic to people who are hesitant about getting a new vaccine. But I'd consider any sort of conspiracy theory to be irrational. (Though I think you miss the point that many people don't agree with someone else telling them what medical treatment to take, but rather than articulate that will cling to less sound arguments and when these are debunked fall back to another, which is I think what you're seeing). But I'm sure there are people who harbor some irrational fear of vaccines or unsupported thoughts about how they work

At the same time, there are also people who have gone crazy with covid fear, and believe no ritual is over the top to protect themselves or to signal to others. People walking alone with nobody around wearing a mask, people taking hand sanitizing to extremes, people who insist we all get vaccinated but also continue to wear masks, people who think their healthy kids should wear masks at school, and as I'm inferring from the post, people who despite an infinitesimal risk still want to have a say in what others do and worry about "safely" visiting or whatever. The original post is just as crazy as people worring about side effects from vaccines, which is my point.
I think in general people don't understand counter party risk
I've often wondered what the lived experience would have been like in 30s Germany or 10s Russia. Now we know. Its not hard to totally transform society once the reigns of power are seized; and most will just go along with it.

I don't appreciate being forced to pay for a feature I don't need. The modern car is FULL of such features, and it's caused the price to skyrocket. The median price for a new car in 1968, adjusted for inflation, was roughly $25,000. Pre-Covid, the median price was something like $36,000. All while wages stagnate or fall accounting for inflation. Stop driving up the price with all this stupid unnecessary crap!
GraphQL makes a lot more sense at the scale of a big company where every team rewrites the same AJAX endpoint logic to fetch the same set of core entities (except in delightfully subtly different ways). Having “the one true” representation of your User object or Business object, but having the flexibility to fetch subsets of fields is huge.

And having a smaller team plug their page-specific types into the graph and just provide the foreign keys and have it “just work” is great.

GraphQL for me solves more of an organizational challenge rather than a pure technical challenge.

> Credit is useful for the single use case of buying a house.

I haven't paid a cent in interest on a credit card since I was in my early 20s. Thanks to credit card points/miles, I've flown all over the world (often in business class), enjoyed stays at hotels, had access to airport lounge access, received various upgrades on hotel accommodations, car rentals, etc. -- all for next to nothing.

Credit cards are an excellent tool if you are willing and able to use them properly.

But that English may have never existed! "Literally" has a long history of being used to mean "a kind of figuratively that is almost perceived like it's really happening" or something like that; perhaps as long as the word itself.

What I could live without is the dialect of English in which "literally" is used to explain away some figure of speech as not being a figure of speech, whereby, oops, there is actually no figure of speech to explain away.

Like "I literally just moved to this town yesterday, so I don't know my way around yet".

What is that for? Nobody suspects that you figuratively moved into this town yesterday; if you moved here just yesterday, then "I moved to this town just yesterday" is perfectly adequate.

(Now being born yesterday is a genuine figure of speech; we could make a meme in which a speech balloon next to a newborn infant's mouth makes a joke about literally having been born yesterday: that would be a valid use of literally.)

Since being blown away is a genuine figure of speech, the expression of "literally blown away" which refers to a situation which is still only figurative is a well-entrenched use of the word: hundreds of years old, I think. It says that the figure of speech is so fitting that if you imagine me being literally blown away, that is actually fairly accurate, so much so that when the inevitable film adaptation is made of my life story, special effects will necessarily hav to be used to portray it that way.
These vehicles are capable of doing so - they simply have a limiter on them. It's like saying an NVidia card can't mine cryptocurrency because they added a limiter in their drivers or something. Or that a truck with a governor on it could not go faster than that with the governor removed and no functional changes to power output.

Even so, I can go at least 4MPH greater than OP's suggested maximum speed legally.

So I'm not defending "cancel culture" or whatever that is.

Louis did not say things that were considered not politically correct, he did a thing that falls under reasonable definitions of sexual assault. This is distinct - Louis does not have "bad opinions", Louis did something abhorrent. Louis didn't get "cancelled" for "wrong think" or however people want to phrase this right now, Louis got dropped from his bookings because he assaulted people.

There's a line somewhere, and there's grey areas, but, to be clear, again: Louis CK committed sexual assault. That is why he got dropped from venues, from specials, etc. - because the people who host those venues and produce those specials decided they did not want to support a man who committed sexual assault.

Shouldn't that be the opposite? The less money you have, the more effort you should put to using it efficiently. Once you have enough money, it's worth keeping a tiny fraction of it as cash for convenience, because investing it won't change anything.

People bemoan the quality of software (and certainly all the complaints are true, we have a long way to go as an industry quality wise), but 10-15 years ago I remember it wasn't uncommon to buy a piece of shrink wrapped software that should be compatible with your machine and it would just not work.

Failure to install, or crashing on startup, sometimes even requiring a reinstall of the entire OS.

This would happen in the open source community too, but that was to be expected.

I haven't experienced this in many years though, so I suspect we are doing something better.

Also package management has come a long, long way. Everything has a package manager now, that creates a new kind of problem but it's better than before.

Are there American banks that don't cover debit transactions with the same guarantees as credit card transactions?

I've had two debit cards from two different large banks skimmed in the last five years, and both times the banks took care of it instantly.

I think the whole "no coverage if you use debit" notion is many years out of date.
Hardly anyone pays the minimum wage though. We're at a point where "McDonalds" type jobs start at easily twice that.

http transfers binary, what does that even mean? the only thing the message pack thing is used for is encoding the value in the requests. but all of that is irrelevant because thats not what i was talking about in the first place. the test is poorly done.

An average latency of 17ms to handle a simple request with the resp protocol is a red flag it self that something is wrong. Seconds to have an http response returned is a problem. All this article is showing is elixir and the libraries used are incredibly slow. Calling HTTP slow, based off the tests done in this article is just wrong, because the whole test is slow and not testing the right thing.

Micro bench marking of the parsing functions would be the right thing to do here.

really someone should profile the server and see what is taking seconds to respond. it wont be the parsing related functions

parsing http really isnt that big of a deal. its a simple protocol, the action on line one, headers split by : and the body. resp has a simmilar amount of work too, uses multiple lines
Ah. Yes, that makes more sense - though definitely should be called out for those readers unaware of the regulatory change.

Rumors have it there’s another change also on the US horizon.

Yes, I think only Clojure surpasses the level of flow you can get with Ruby. Elixir also comes close.

Even more than being able to compile and run it in a few decades (which is awesome) there is also the part that such eternal language ecosystems grow excellent tooling (debuggers, tracing, performance analysis, source tooling, build tooling, library maturity, etc) thanks to the stable platform and all the years dedicated to making it all ever better.

I greatly dislike the language of the year hype not so much because the language change itself, but because all the wonderful mature tooling doesn't exist in the new shiny thing so we're back to debugging via print and performance analysis via guesswork.

The beginning of this article is a fairy tale that ignores what used to be one of the biggest drivers of revenue for banks: overdraft fees. Maybe the HN crowd has never been in a situation where they were auto-billed into a negative balance, which then caused an overdraft fee that then further drove their balance into negative territory, but this was a weekly/monthly fiasco for millions of Americans.

I was once in a meeting with one of the senior executives at JPMorgan, where the guy smugly told me he felt they were “doing a service for the community” by charging people overdraft fees. After leaving the meeting, my very senior colleague said, “I had to hold myself back from throwing that guy out of his window.”
