Certainly. My hope is things like WASM eventually make Javascript obsolete if we're into pushing giant blobs of client UI over the wire. Blazor / Bolero in C#/F# are promising starts in that direction.
As an American speaking what is arguably a variant of English, the phrase “rubbing you up” has very different connotations than in British English. Basically impossible to be done the wrong way, if you catch my drift. Odd choice of words for a website with global reach.

It depends. The UK Apache is license built by AgustaWestland instead of Boeing and does indeed have a more powerful engine.

It was the same for the UK's F-4s, which had a Rolls Royce Spey that put out significantly more thrust than the GE J79s in US F-4s.
Signal message keys seem to include an IV. [1] Message keys are generated by passing a chain key through a key derivation function. [2] So you can also expand a shared secret established through Diffie-Hellman.

Treat loans using securities as collateral as a capital gain or income, and tax it as such.
I think you're overthinking this. TypeScript definitely helps catch issues - there have been large migrations to TS that were well received by engineers and project managers alike. Yes there are issues in the type system but you can find them in any language. Haskell has very strong claims but then you come across 1/0 != 1`div`0
If you can think it you are a great programmer. If you can implement it you are a great engineer. If you can share it you are a scientist.
That’s one of my preso jokes. “Backups are a worthless waste of time! Restores, on the other hand…”
That's interesting. What is the expected method to emerge from bankruptcy, or at least protect investors and creditors, if a business must cease operations?

My intuition (and the presumption in the U.S.) is that a market position allows a business to dispose of inventory in normal commercial channels more profitably than auctioning it at wholesale in a Chapter 7-style liquidation. Hence first-day motions in U.S. bankruptcy courts.

(Disclaimer: I worked on the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy but did not represent any U.S. or U.K. subsidiaries.)
How about vs Java? How does JS engines compare against the JVM?
Trust really matters in commerce. Doing away with trust is bad. If we do not trust each other there is no technology on Dog's Green Earth that can save us.

Depends on the forest and specific local ecology.

Planting forests definitely is a carbon sink, but the carbon goes into the living biomass. Whether or not you get long term buildup of soil carbon just depends. In other words there’s a sizable one time bonus to planting forests and a conditional long term continuous sink.

People tend to simplify one way or the other.
Zoning in right leaning states seems much more permissive on average.

In Austin they are tearing down old homes left and right and replacing with 2-3 on same plot. Never seen this done in Maryland, California or New York when I lived there.

Construction and zoning seems much less of an issue in Texas vs California. I believe it's the same in Arizona, Florida etc. But no firsthand experience in those markets.

Simply rezoning SFH plots to allow for multi-family construction and allowing the free market to work will very quickly produce new housing stock. It also immediately benefits existing homeowners by increasing the utility/value of their land. e.g. you now own a plot that can produce a 4 unit home, inherent value is higher
I said gas tank cap, but I actually meant the cover. Sorry not sure what the right word is. The little door that you open to access the gas tank cap. And yes there is a physical switch that is depressed when that door is properly closed.
For “homes I live in” $80,000 is far too much but locking in property taxes (non-transferable) at time of purchase seems to ale sense to me.

$80,000 is what, twice the median income?
Well, I want days off when I want days off, and I wouldn't want that.
I agree with that with one important caveat.

I wouldn't trust multi terabyte drives in raid 5 sets to not suffer cascading failures during a rebuild after a single drive failure/replacement.

I'd consider two file servers or NAS boxes with the same type/brand/model of drives in raid 5, to be "the same media type" in the context of that advice.

As an American, I’ve never heard “rubbing up” (with or without “you”) used outside of foreign English dialects. Rubbing off, sure, but not up.
Your not getting the weather forecast from your local network, so your put to at least 2 cloud dependencies. A really basic test it how much still works when the internet fails.

Because just that watering setup is the opposite of rock solid. If the electricity is on, and these several devices in your house didn’t fail, and you have internet, and the cloud service works, then you water your lawn unless the weather forecast says otherwise. Meanwhile a simple mechanical watering timer is basically if you have water pressure and the divide didn’t fail then it all just works.

Don’t get me wrong it can be fun to setup, but setting up and maintaining these “smart” systems end up sucking up more time than those home automation projects in theory save. At least compared to a simple mechanical timer.

Why are "National Assets" (and what s the definition of that) deflationary?

Inflation/deflation is in my experience measured as money V. assets. Assets on their own are neither. Have I got that wrong?
The Shenyang FC-31 Gyrfalcon is maybe sort of a peer of the F-35A/C. The Sukhoi Su-75 Checkmate might eventually be developed into a peer of the F-35A, but for now it's still a paper airplane. There is no peer of the F-35B.

No, someone renting out their one property, which is their primary residence, does not increase affordability.

That is because they themselves have to live somewhere. If they have to rent, then what have we achieved?

Harassing these people is entirely regressive.

People doing something entirely normal, like buying a place and living in it, are not the root cause of any problem.

(OK, I've heard of the practice of sleeping under the desk at work and using the company kitchen and shower, while AirBnB'ing your apartment for $. Good luck with that if you have a family.)
Imagine being this disorganized
Not to mention some people are just better at that than others. When I’m operating at my full personal capacity, ‘just spend a few minutes’ is the siren’s call. I’m not an executive but I’d pay out of my own pocket if i could find the right person for that job.
Behind the cheap workers is whole industries and ecosystems and know-how, it's not a cheap labor problem. Bangladesh is cheap labor but if you wanted to start building phones there you will not have the ecosystem to support you..
I have never understood this argument with respect to industrial forests. We move all this carbon into lumber, paper and other products, yet somehow it magically returns to the air.

Even industrial forests sequester some carbon in the soil as it seems from my experiences that there is easily 10% of the tree mass that never gets harvested before wind damage or other reasons.

A natural forest is constantly losing trees which turn into soil. Some forests have soil that you literally can sink feet into decomposing trees that you can't even see before falling into them. I might buy the argument that the termites etc recycle the fallen trees back into carbon, except for the fact, that it seems to accrete.
i'd guess that bots these days harvest domain names and then human names associated with them and then spam tools try common schemes for constructing email addresses. don't know for sure though.

i always thought the hotness would be to encrypt the address in source text and render/decrypt it client side in javascript, but i suppose scrapers these days use full blown headless browsers complete with javascript runtimes.
> Your experience couldn't differ more from mine. I wonder, do you think there are bad parts of Java that if you bought into them you would hate Java and your time with it for?

Well, I literally said that I shit on Java all the time, so yeah... I hate most of Java, and my blood pressure goes up just thinking about the shitty null handling, lack of any concept of immutability, weak as hell type system, and the nightmarish combination of commonplace runtime reflection paired with type-erased generics.

> To me, each of your examples of brokenness is completely outside the day-to-day which I work in (and honestly my comprehension vis a vis why you would use them), so I can't speak too much to them, but as someone who has gone from untyped JS (obviously) to strictly typing each key of each property in my program, I am finding it pretty funny to see you conclude

It's not outside my day-to-day. I'm complaining because I'm being bitten by TypeScript's brokenness all the time. If you try to use the advanced TypeScript features, you'll hit all manner of inconsistencies and brokenness, too. I'm sure of it. And if you're only using the very simple typing, are you really doing anything that JSDoc wouldn't do for you?

I'm fairly convinced (and I don't mean this in a condescending way) that the main group of devs that really likes TypeScript must have done mostly JavaScript and/or Python before. Because I can't imagine that someone who has spent a couple of years doing C# or C++ or Rust or Swift or even Go would be comfortable with all of the holes in TypeScript's type system.
Their products have always been full of bloatware, nothing changed.
> I have files in my Documents folder going back to the 90s and Classic macOS!

Same. And while I can be sure I have them safely stored, I know for sure I have files I can no longer use because I don't have a way of running the applications needed to work with them. I must have _dozens_ gigabytes worth of copies of Zip disks and Syquest cartridges full of Macromedia Flash projects and Mac OS9 Filemaker Pro databases.
The Netherlands has reversed course from a car-centric culture to a more pedestrian- and bike-friendly culture. They did that very intentionally. As far as I can tell, there is no magic about it being The Netherlands -- except possibly the influence on the culture of the polder.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polder

From what I gather, protecting the polder so everyone survives is so important that it has, at times, required people at war to cooperate in keeping the water out.

Today, globally, everyone knows we need solutions here or we are all doomed. We can stop quibbling about what various factions want for personal gain and start seeking answers that help some group live lighter on the land so we all benefit.

Rinse and repeat.

Start with low-hanging fruit. As that gets done, other things will become more reachable.
That housing is an appreciating asset is the problem.

That's a big red flag that something is wrong, and that's because houses wear out. Therefore they should depreciate like a car.

The problem is not solved by messing about trying to control "Domestic Credit Expansion". Limiting the supply of money causes the problem by limiting the funding of housing production.

The problem is the power of exclusion. Housing should be used for housing services, not hoarding. If the price of it is going up, all that is telling you is that there are insufficient housing services available, and there is some market failure that is stopping it being produced.

The solution is anti-trust action and, if necessary, government intervention to limit the power of exclusion and directly produce more housing services until houses start to depreciate.

Address the root cause, not the symptoms. The solution to asset prices going up is produce more of the required assets and stop people trying to corner the market in them.

Nobody is suggesting that the price of used cars suddenly going up should be solved by reducing the loans available to buy them. It should be solved by sorting out the production issues for cars to put the market back where it normally is.

Why not the same for housing services?
at present I do it as the latter. My cellphone's direct number is an external destination on the asterisk system and it initiates a new outbound call to it, and bridges the audio/call from the incoming caller to it.

I can also do it direct over SIP if I want. The android linphone SIP softphone client is not bad. My cellphone can register to my asterisk system as the same extension as my SIP desk phone in my home office. Or if I want I can give it a new extension number and make my desk phone extension number, and the linphone softphone extension number part of the same ring group for me as a person. In which case I would send x500 from the IVR main menu to that ring group.

I generally don't leave linphone running and connected unless I'm actively using it because it can be a battery/CPU hog (in order to SIP register to my asterisk system I also need to be on my personal openvpn link, my server doesn't accept incoming connections from any public IP on the internet). So a combination of the openvpn client running and linphone simultaneously.
As per that list Java is still faster for most of the benchmarks. Massive effort has gone into the JVM too, for the last 20+ years.
Here, the trouble with HN up/down votes. I agree with the first part, but disagree with the snarky comment at the end.
With you almost all the way but:

> there are some people who regularly commute 2-3 hours each way from these metro areas because this is all they can afford, yet the job markets in the Central Valley (near the Bay Area) or the Inland Empire and Antelope Valley (both near Los Angeles) areas are rather anemic at best.

Just move. If you don’t, I find it hard to be sympathetic. Family w/e you can make it work. This is peak American bullshit to drive 2 hours each way to work and if you are putting up with that it’s on you.
It has nothing to do with ERCOT presence, despite the social karma of referring to the “grid disaster.”

There have been literally hundreds of other grid disasters in New York, Chicago, the entire state of California, and yet no one would be surprised if the plant showed up there. Why?
Your experience is relevant to me.

I cannot drive but am about to move from Tokyo to Nagano. It's close to a local station, so I may be able to manage. Until I try though I won't know.
The British monarch is still officially the “Defender of the Faith” and “Supreme Governor of the Church of England” has been for 500 years. She/he appoints high-ranking members of the C of E in consultation with the Prime Minster and the wonderfully named Lords Spiritual.

Which is why only Britain is allowed to write tomes like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. They have cool naming in their DNA. Or maybe it’s the weather.
The idea that every area is HCOL is just wrong. You can get property for as little as 3% down. You can rent out extra rooms.

It’s remarkable that our generation willingly takes out 6 figure loans for worthless college degrees but can’t save 10k for a down payment on a condo in Atlanta.

People spend more money on their homes nowadays. Especially now that remote work is widely accepted.
The mismatch is the "only one" vs "using one" switch comment. That would be an insane circuit with time and material costs to match to meet residential code with 18 devices and a handful of switches covering every door, stairs, etc. I did a complete rewire of a large house a few years back and went with Lutron for this exact purpose. Yes, every light has (at least) one physical switch in the primary location. But it's $30 and 15 minutes to add each of the (wireless) secondary switches at every location. It is a huge benefit to time/materials/flexibility/future proofing.
“Boats can float in water, but they can sink in it,too.”
How did you graduate with a CS degree?
How? It is certainly not possible by default. You can set the right click search to be any particular one in the preferences but you can't, as far as I know, get a list so that you can search any particular text from any available search engine, which is what Right Click Search does. I did a quick search for "search" in about:config and didn't see anything that looked related.
>Lol, you are laughably bad to think that java is legacy.

Seriously. It might not be one of the hip new languages with unique features but it’s a very mature language that is well battle tested, has plenty of libraries available, and the talent pool is very deep for Java hires. It’s also something that stands the test of time —- write code in 1999 on an old Java version it will still likely run on that version today.
It doesn’t matter how well you raise your children if your health declines they with there best intentions won’t be able to help you. I see it all the time. When all of a sudden the person needs 24/7 care to use a lift to take a poo or can’t physically get out of bed into their wheel chair or a hundred other issues the family can no longer cope. You say do what is right, for me that would be riding myself off assets to my children so they can have a life just a little easier then me. I’ve raised my kids right I know I could at 50 years old put all my assets in their name and it would be fine. Not everyone can do that. Some may say that is cheating the system but it is still following the law and that is good by me.
You probably need more than one great university nearby.

SV has Stanford, Berkeley, and San Jose State. You may not have heard of SJS, but there are more (local) Apple employees who graduated from SJS than from Stanford and Berkeley.

FWIW, Stanford is relatively small. Berkeley's freshman class is larger than Stanford's entire undergraduate program.
I think inflation is very real and under reported and generally support upward pressure on wages. That said, this seems like a pretty strong case for automation. How much does an industrial dishwasher cost? Or is the person making $64.81 US an hour a machine operator managing the restaurants dishwashing machine?
Not sure what you mean.

Mail to the literal 'x@joyofcryptography.com' address would just be dropped. There's no expectation that mail to a nonexistent address would be placed in the postmaster mailbox.
What are you comparing it with?

If you compare Rec.2020 with 10 bits per channel and sRGB at 9.5 bits per channel, both of them using the same peak brightness, you should see similar amounts of banding on both.

Increasing the maximum brightness can require a lot of extra bits to keep things smooth, but that's a separate thing from which colors are possible.
Yeah, in some informal sorting tests I noticed that Node was roughly as fast as dmd, the D compiler which is basically optimized for fast builds. Compared with LLVM and GCC it wasn't even close.
I only gave three examples because it was a single Hacker News comment and I didn't think I should keep a running catalog of every single hole/issue/inconsistency that I've encountered in the last year of working on a TypeScript project.

I gave a few more examples in other comments in this thread. I can go look at the code comments I wrote in my project and come up with a longer list for you if you like.

> You gave three examples that seem relatively rare. At work we use TypeScript to type a codebase that was mostly plain JavaScript, and we write TypeScript as plain JavaScript. It does very well its job of offering use better tooling and compile-time guarantees. If you consider it as a way to statically-type existing JS codebases, it's good. If you consider it as a language on its own, it's not great.

This is a legitimately genuine question: if you're treating TypeScript as just type annotations on an otherwise regular-old-JavaScript codebase, then why are you using TypeScript rather than just JavaScript with JSDoc comments?

Also, I can't quite tell. Are you defending TypeScript's brokenness by suggesting we just don't use all of its advertised features? Isn't that... kind of weak? It's like the joke about going to the doctor: "Doctor, my elbow hurts when I do this." "Well, don't do that!" -- If TypeScript advertises a feature, shouldn't that feature, like, actually work?
> Interest rates only apply to people borrowing money, which is the thing that promotes speculation. It even promotes speculation among people who are living in the houses, because then they try to buy a bigger one until so does everybody else. With the result that everyone ends up in the same house they would have before, but pays more for it.

Yes, interest rates also promote speculation. But they aren't the only thing: if you amassed capital, you wouldn't need loans but could still speculate on the property market. Property taxes then act against such un-leveraged speculation.

> Property taxes apply even to people paying their own money for their homes, which is an undesired side effect. It makes it more expensive to own a home, which is the thing we were trying to prevent.

Property taxes represent the reality that living somewhere costs money beyond the initial outlay to buy the property. They also makes it more expensive to rent a home, but it is money that needs to be paid anyways. Roads, schools, and other city/county services don't fund themselves. By tying it to property ownership rather than use fees, it creates a built in disincentive to hold property and not use it productively (because those taxes have to paid if you use it or not).

> The price of the house is the same and now you're making twice as much money, so the loan officer is more comfortable giving you the loan, not less.

If inflation is high, the loan officer isn't really comfortable giving you that loan at all. If the high inflation happens overnight and then stops...that's a different story, but that usually causes a free fall in confidence anyways.

> The amount of density needed for that in San Francisco is different than it is in Houston.

Dense cities are more expensive than less dense cities. Not because they are more dense, but because they are more desirable. Increasing SF density doesn't make it cheaper to live there if it also increases its desirability. More demand just springs up to account for the new units. You have to do something like Singapore has done instead: make housing production and distribution more public (ironic, given that Singapore is often considered the most libertarian country out there).

> If you deal with zoning then you deal with speculators, because increasing the housing supply by a sufficient amount prevents prices from skyrocketing,

That has never shown to be true at all. The Chinese have tried this, and...without a property tax anyways, it has just led to a lot of bought for but empty apartments. A better alternative might be Japanese style depreciation (require that housing be rebuilt every 30 years, hey, it also means a lot of construction jobs).
You cannot discourage ownership of “investment property” without also discouraging landlordship — which raises rents.
Houses go down in value, land goes up in value on average, partly due to scarcity. Best example is Manhattan. Additional land is non existent, and any existing land becomes more valuable as more people and businesses move there.
