The price of used cars is going nuts far more than new cars, so I don't think the increase in car prices is good news for sellers of a class of new cars that is already at a premium.

Show HN: Codeprints – Get a print of your GitHub contributions (or repository)
Hi HN! Today I'd like to share a side project I've been working on together with a few friends over the past few months:

https://Codeprints.dev is a tool that takes your personal GitHub contributions and allows you to purchase a high-quality print of it. Since many of us have been working in a home office as of late, we've had the idea that it would be awesome to have personalized rather than generic art around - showcasing our (open-source) contributions in a frame or on a mug, for instance.

Not long ago, we've also introduced a way to generate a contribution graph based on a local git repository. This is available as a Beta feature on our site right now! On top of that, we've also open-sourced the analyzer (written in Rust) that is used to extract the data: https://github.com/codeprintsdev

Ideas and feedback are welcome. Thanks everyone!
> I would love to understand why the fed hasn't increased interest rates to counter the rapid increase of inflation..?

One reason is that they are still purchasing assets in order to goose the economy. It doesn't make any sense to be revving the economy with one hand while tamping it down with the other plus the point of the buying is to artificially depress interest rates. IIRC at the last meeting they announced that they would accelerate the tapering down of asset purchases so that they would be done in March.

They also like to move slowly which is why they don't just halt the asset purchases and start raising rates. They treat the economy with kid gloves so they don't break it (right or wrong, for better or for worse, that's how it goes).
I wonder if we're hearing the full story. Could they be being attacked by foreign hacker farms in Russia and China just to make the US infrastructure look bad?
As an American, I find it very hard to decide what to think about these issues.

Our military certainly makes mistakes, and people should be held accountable, but on the other hand the U.S. upholds much stricter rules of engagement than any of its enemies (hell, even stricter than our cops). Should credit not be given for that?

The city vs suburb is just a lazy shorthand to setup the hypothetical. If the issue is transportation time to a hospital, you could live in a suburb near a hospital.

Some cities have excellent schools and some cities have awful schools and the same for suburbs.

To make my own lazy shorthand, would you consider it significantly harmful if a gifted child is placed in a classroom where everyone else is behind grade level and the instruction is paced accordingly vs a classroom where instruction is paced at grade level or perhaps at an accelerated pace? If that's not enough, what if it's a rougher school where physical altercations are the norm.

Sure, these days, there's the internet, the magical cornucopia of knowledge, but it can be hard to get the motivation to use it.

All that said, my personal utility function measures a lot more utility for independence than for education and what not. If a better situation for the disable child may result in more independence for the disabled child, the gifted child is just going to have to make the best of a situation that's been decided for someone else's best interest.

Here's a brief article about being a hermit from an Orthodox Christian perspective: https://orthodoxwiki.org/Hermit

The first half of this book is a recollection of life as a monk on Mt Athos (the second half is a collection of the monk's teachings as an elder): Wounded by Love: The Life and Wisdom of Saint Porphyrios.

Another good book is The Gurus, The Young Man, and Elder Paisios by Dionysios Farasiotis. This one has a lot more detail about life on Mt Athos. Also, it's important to note that Elder Paisios has been venerated and is now Saint Paisios.

Common Lisp has lexical AND dynamic scoping.

This is very nice with constants. A function can make a hard dependency on standard out for example. If I change that value locally then call the function, it will operate as expected while everything else using that variable name will continue using their own expected values too. Lexical scoping would instead require passing that value in every time it is used.
Constant traceability and contact. It's getting harder, and harder to just step out of society for a while.

> You can kind of do that by passing a struct as an argument, and represent the optionalness by having a pointer in the struct. That's still awkward, you can't easily make a pointer to an integer or string literal, you need a separate helper function for each primitive type. Overall it could be nicer.

I think using a builder is a better option in Go if you have more than 2-3 arguments.

> Yeah, I refer to it as Algebraic Data Types, where you can for example have your tree type to be a Node with children or a Leaf with value. And a function can accept a Tree that can be one of these. IIRC, the Go people claim that you can do kind of something like this with interfaces, but it's not very nice to use interfaces in this way and has some drawbacks.

Except you can't really do this with interfaces. If you need to get back to the concrete implementation of the interface, there's no way to know what all possible implementations might be. This is especially true since any type can implement an interface, not just the types you create initially. So someone else could implement `Tree` and you would not know to account for that in your function that accepts the `Tree` interface.

I don't think there's any substitute for proper sum types in Go.

So the main point is about questionable valuation of companies to avoid capital gains tax, right?

Because if there's a company (in this case a sole proprietorship) that reports business expenses exceeding income, what is there to tax?

Can some chime in to say what's the matter with tax write-offs portrayed as unfair gains? I mean, you still have to pay for the written-off stuff. As I understand, you're not better off just deciding to spend money on the basis of it being tax deductible. It'd make only sense if you're going to spend the money anyway.
It's not a new point but for sure tech has ruined my attention span. I was once lucky enough to get away from major needs to use tech for a few months (which I spent reading) and it really showed me how much these things affect the brain and how unfortunate it is that there seems to be near no other option than to use it because of the career arms race that you need to participate in in order not to die.

A lot of it hinges on intent. If the people striking are attempting to overwhelm the service, I could see that being illegal, regardless of whether or not a program was used to assist in the denial of service.

Put another way, if I and a group of friends coordinate to call your office and tie up all of your phone lines, should there be legal consequences for my group?

"reCAPTCHA v3" despite its name is not a captcha though, it's just a very bad risk-scoring service. Bad because (1) it flags plenty of legit visitors as spammy, in a way that's probably a slamdunk GDPR lawsuit waiting to happen, and (2) apparently the returned token is still replayable - Anti Captcha claims to support v3, you can even select what score you want to have (>= 0.3/0.7/0.9) lol
I remember 2008 Prius had mirror to reflect Speedometer. Basically Speedometer is on the floor of the dashboard and a vertical mirror reflects the numbers. I assumed they made it this way to save space.
I disagree with this. Powell could blow up the entire economy in about 5 seconds if he wanted to by saying rates will be 4% in June and inflation would be done tomorrow. Housing would tank, the stock market would tank, unemployment would sky rocket, wage growth would immediately stop and probably revert a bit. Inflation could have some ups and downs from there but I don't think it would average above 2.

The problem is we can't raise rates without blowing up the economy, not that it wouldn't stop inflation. It doesn't matter how much money is in the system if you nuke velocity back to near zero.

I'm talking in the medium term here. Because the response to this is in my mind literally a 10-20 trillion dollar stimulus package. THEN we will see inflation.
I don't remember how long I had my S3 mini, but it's one of only three phones I've owned in the last 10 years. I had to give up the S3 because the micro USB jack broke as yours did and the traces were so small that my repair attempts didn't last long.

Since then I had a Microsoft phone for about 5 years. It still works fine, but AT&T warned me that it wouldn't be supported after the end of the year, so now I have an Samsung A12 that barring falls onto my tile floor, I'll probably have for another 5 years at least.
> Why would a company's management be aligned with the workers here?

Because otherwise unions will target them, in turn, with worker's actions. That is how union power works in places that have real, functioning unions.

Unions protect workers against exploitations, and that is good for everyone.
This is an absolutely fair criticism. I see that this reply is better than my first reply. My hope was to shed light on the matter and not get sucked into a tedious argument about what weasel words are.

I'm honestly not sure what to believe when it comes to these claims. A lot of the claims that I see seem to be based on what are clearly outliers. I am actually interested in seeing what the numbers look like for use of force. I am interested in how people go about deciding what to believe, especially in this time of misinformation on the internet.
Rents are obviously a lagging measure as they're typically only increased once per year (and by a regulated amount in some markets.) We're in for a world of hurt in terms of housing and rent over the next couple years.
> IIRC there was some research from Denmark suggesting the opposite, namely that the significantly harder steel pellets would have a higher probability of punching through bone and hit vital organs rather than deforming and lodging in the bone.

Great point and one I tend to agree with. But this actually causes an issue. At issue here is that the steel keeps its shape and does penetrate deeper without expanding creating shot size holes through those organs which do ultimately cause death after the bird has flown away and later dies. Unless you hit the heart directly the organs will take time to fail.

Lead on the other hand causes more catastrophic injuries which makes the game more retrievable resulting in less wasted game.
> Plenty of people live quite well in denser environments

Very few do.

> and in any event, it should be a choice.

It is a choice, if you can afford not to. That's why the people in those environments are disproportionately both the very poor who can't afford to choose and the very rich who can afford the expense of mitigating the harms; the people who aren't super rich but can afford to choose just tend to choose not to live in dense environments.
I'm curious about whether anyone has studied using the harmonic mean (or at least, the reciprocal of the sum of reciprocals) as a way of aggregating utilities. I haven't had time to research this, but the thought repeatedly occurs to me as I have kids that are gifted in a school district that is especially concerned with the gap in achievement between the highest and lowest performers. I can't shake the feeling that what they really should want is a measure that prioritizes helping the lowest performers but does not consider the performance of the highest performers to have literally negative value, and the harmonic mean fits that bill.

No, it is the other way around, current indoctrination is intentional and the powers that be would not allow such a switch. Edward Said mentioned this once, he delivered his plans to overhaul the English curriculum in oil rich gulf countries, yet upon the authorities refusal for his plans to include critical thinking, cultural contexts,and values for schools,they explicitly said the target of the English we need was to produce people able to answer calls and do transactions. He said such indoctrination was universal.
I felt the same about our 2007 Prius. It never really had any serious problems until we replaced it this year. We ran into one issue this year but it was a known thing that was fairly straightforward to replace, and although not cheap, not that expensive.

My wife wanted to replace it with a newer model because she wanted bluetooth. But I miss my old car -- it was amazingly reliable.
Well over two millennia later, Aristotle remains highly relevant on the subject of instruction and persuasion[1]:

Moreover, (2) before some audiences not even the possession of the exactest knowledge will make it easy for what we say to produce conviction. For argument based on knowledge implies instruction, and there are people whom one cannot instruct.

Furthermore, it's evident that the standard American primary and secondary school system, either by accident or design, mutilates the student's ability to be instructed in favor of training desired responses.

There's one cause of this inflation that the Fed doesn't like to talk about. It's the clampdown on immigration that started during the previous administration and is continuing with the current one. Wage inflation is then a logical outcome, and people should be celebrating it.
We've also seen a lot of "shadow inflation" in my country.

Pre-Covid I could send a parcel with two-day delivery for $X or next-day delivery for $1.5X

Now, I can still buy "next-day delivery" for $1.5X but the parcel takes two days to arrive. On paper, the service's price hasn't changed - but in reality, it's 50% more expensive.
The Counterfactual Theory of Value
Why the Rule Makers Are Rule Breakers
Look, I don't really love the WSJ - but "what went wrong" is the exact same thing that went wrong with the government's story around vaccination.

If we would have reached herd immunity at 70-80% vaccinated (which is what was being said) then the argument was we would reach it sooner due to antibodies.

Given that delta evolved and rendered both of those stories bunk, I think it is silly to solely blame the WSJ for being wrong at predicting the future here.
Nearly all of the inflation is coming from energy prices (driven by the post-covid recovery in demand and petrostates declining to raise prices to protect their revenues) and cars (used and new; driven by chip shortages and the increase in demand for consumer durables as spending moved away from experiences out of the house). To reduce energy prices, the US will need to increase domestic production or pressure petrostates into increasing production. Biden has a testy relationship with MBS, so the latter is being a bit harder than it would be otherwise. Still, Saudi Arabia is one of several large producers, all of which depend on oil for government revenues. The government can't do too much about reducing demand for cars or reallocating chip producers abroad to make prioritize making chips for car makers. I suppose we'll have to wait it out, and it'll probably take a while for these underlying factors to settle.

If you're not driving or buying a car, it doesn't look as bad, though energy prices affect everything else, too.
I don't follow. It's already WAY cheaper to drive EVs over the life of the vehicle. The amortization schedule is different, for now. In the long run that will change: manufacturing EVs is way cheaper and simpler than ICE cars.

By 2024 every major car manufacturer will have a solid lineup of EVs and mega manufacturing capacity. EV Corollas will be the normal lowest-end car purchase by 2030, and with a tiny fraction of the operating costs.
