You don't understand.

China is in debt because the government wants to be in debt. They have to be to have population control. If there were no debt their population would have already busted.

The oligarchs who rule China don't use Chinese currency. So they are not impacted by debt levels. China also doesn't promote their currency internationally as a means of keeping domestic purchasing power low.

If you threaten China they will reverse these decisions and actually try to compete for quality of life. That's where western civilization as we know it ends. That's where the American empire falls and the Chinese empire rises.

Ask HN: Which came first? OpenStep on PPC? Or the MacOS UI on a NeXT derived OS?
I've been playing with OpenStep in a VM lately and it got me wondering what the transition from OpenStep on Intel/Sparc/NeXT hardware to Rhapsody on PPC was like.

Were there builds of basically stock OpenStep 4.2 running on PPC Macs within Apple on the early days? Were there builds with the Rhapsody UI running on Intel only while the rest of the OS was still being ported? Were these both happening at the same time in the same codebase?

I figure someone on here should have some inside information ;)
You also had a goal beyond "pass a test", which I think is more important still. After all, Geometry isn't generally something taught or tested as merely a collection of facts (but rather their application, a la "given this, prove that", and you have to intuit a path through applying other proofs to get to the final one), and yet it still sucks as a subject in school. Because there isn't a real "why".
Assuming pmarca blocked jack by hand. I see many people reporting that they too have been blocked by pmarca. Seems like he could have used megablock and simply nuked some tweets they all liked or responded too and these guys are just collateral damage.
SO has been wildly successful, the site is consistently fast and reliable, and it doesn't seem like their decisions have significantly held them back during development. None of this sounds "poor-quality" to me.
I'm trying to say this in the nicest way possible, but filling in the blanks with assumptions and then arriving at this conclusion is not the right approach. The right approach would be to talk to real life young people and young adults in this position and come to an understanding based on their experiences. The nuances of medical gatekeeping are at least a book-length treatise, probably multi-volume. Please, talk to some trans people in your life and parents of trans people with an open mind. Middle ground positions sound ok, but this this a squishy topic with infinite dimensions and designing systems that try to take a balanced approach do harm in unobvious and subtle ways.

So who gets the replication fees? Is this just a cash grab by the authors of the site?
It is a matter of tradeoffs and requirements. Arc<RwLock> is a solid solution for most use cases. If the requirement is (just making up an unlikely extreme scenario) to have a huge amount of threads which constantly lock the RwLock a better solution might be to just open multiple connections per database, each per thread. SQLite, for example, is build with this in mind.

For a reasonable amount of locking, The Arc / RwLock dance offers good performance (other languages, like Swift, use something like Arc for every property access (although the compiler tries to optimise it away)).

The safety is actually better because you're forced to think about the failure case. I don't have good memories of Objective-C where some Foundation calls don't throw (in they don't have an error parameter), but just throw random undocumented exceptions. (Not saying that some Rust calls don't panic, but knowing that something can go wrong is much better than learning about it in production).
This is a situation where it was not possible to properly fix the problem due to constraints beyond the designer's control. Coming up with the best solution given a set of requirements and constraints is the definition of design, and is where design overlaps with engineering. Fixing the workflow problem that resulted in a potentially embarrassing mistake to go unspotted until 3 days before shipping would be an example of good management...
And how do you determine the value of someone's labour? Marxism can't answer that, while conventional economics can.

> Possibly the most obvious example is the tendency of the rate of profit to fall.

So your evidence of the validity of Marxism is... a 50-50 shot? Even in the replication crisis, science at least demands no more than 5% chance for hypotheses to come true by random luck.
I was about to praise this tool for exposing the artificial scarcity that are NFTs. It is trivial to mint your own copy.

Then I read the following in the FAQ:

I've come to a similar conclusion: the people who are vaccine "hesitant" are mostly those who are either a) not smart or b) narcissistic (or both). That's because those who are not smart don't trust studies or generally don't trust authority (as in people who are experts). They trust their gut feeling and trust arguments more that fit in their world view. This goes so far that they trust messages that don't fit together (e.g. "china unleashed it to kill us" vs. "it's just like the flu, no biggy"), for as long as it helps them in justifying and maintaining their behavior.

This leads to my conclusion that most of these people are beyond convincing because a) logic doesn't work and b) empathy doesn't either (at least for the narcissists). What works for some is if they see direct effects in their closest circle, e.g. family dying. However, for many even this is not enough because of so much propaganda and peer pressure.
However, I personally have come to the conclusion that a state's responsibility is to protect these people (and everyone else) from themselves and thus a vaccine mandate is appropriate. Obviously, this is a difficult step everywhere but especially so in the US (because of the polarization). Which is why I am happy to live in western Europe.

You really shouldn't be storing "potentially sensitive data" in a bucket unencrypted, though.
Soon you'll need a way to authenticate NFTs (prove that the one you're bidding on was minted by the advertised artist), and then you'll immediately lose the proposed benefits of NFTs -- decentralization and anonymous trust.

Fixing things is always a question of improvement vs cost. If the graphics rom is already manufactured, there's a lot of cost to make new ones. Better to make changes to the program rom which hasn't been sent out yet and may likely be smaller and less expensive than the graphics rom anyway. Typically arcade machines may get one or two program updates but usually no graphics or audio updates.
`nimble` is the package manager for the programming language `nim` [1].

From [2], we can see that `nimble scss` simply generates the CSS files for the frontend.

The benefit of OSS is you can answer these questions yourself with a bit of poking around! IMO this is a fairly standard installation process, maybe the fact that it's using Nim instead of a more mainstream language makes it look more daunting than it is. The only out-of-the-ordinary thing here, IMO, is `nimble build` instead of `make build`.

I have to be honest. I view NFTs as one of the dumbest things to come out of the crypto space. I see the use cases, but frankly I don’t think it’s innovative nor does it solve something in a really unique way.

Part of the point of digital assets are that they can be copied. If you don’t want to copy them, you can validate with the issuing authority (which is virtually all NFTs as it is).

Regarding your example, where is this throttle method implemented in javascript? And, your code is not easier to reason about for me than the synchronous golang code. It's not clear how throttle is affecting the function call that happens before it. Compare to this.

We have no moral obligation to support someone’s business model. If someone’s business model relies on people being too ignorant of either the consequences of ad-tech surveillance systems, or of the technical means to avoid that surveillance, and that turns out to be a bad bet, then they can pivot to a different monetization strategy that doesn’t involve people passively allowing themselves to be constantly subjected to sophisticated ML-model driven targeted and personalized psychological manipulation.
Thanks. I have read similar info elsewhere. For past 10 years or so I don't throw away seeds. (oranges, watermelon, etc. are exceptions.) I generally plant the seeds and afterwards when plants are of good height I plant those on the nearby hills. Don't bother much about them later (fertilizer, grafting, etc.) apart from watering them occasionally when I go to the hills. Somehow avocados remained on my farm and now I have become somewhat curious.
For practical purposes, yes. The leaks showed how NSA has built a multi-layered data harvesting-archiving-searching machine that works not only through compromised hardware (including cameras), but also big company infrastructures, phone/email/SMS/internet browsing records and content, fiber optic cable tapping, hacking, installing bugs, spying and more.

If the camera itself is not bugged, it likely is harvested at another step at some point and nothing's more clear that if NSA wants to see what a camera sees, they are able to tap it if needed. Sure, untapped cameras exist, but it doesn't really make a practical difference. The NSA will still have your information if it wants, and likely already has most of it.
Regarding the basic idea that "best practices are not always best" I've been involved in a lot of these conversations at small startups, and mostly around technologies like Kubernetes.

But every time I say something critical about Kubernetes, someone responds, "So you think Google is stupid? You think the engineers at Google don't know what they're doing?"

To which I always respond: "Are you Google? Are you running 10 million boxes at 50 data centers in 30 countries? If not, you might consider a simpler approach."

I do get that big companies find something like Docker/Kubernetes useful for security, scaling, and especially, dealing with the homogenous nature of the varied software stacks that typically build up in a large corporation.

However, my message to the small startups I consult with is, "Keep it simple. If possible, just stick with something like Heroku for awhile, or a few big, beefy machines. You don't need High Availability, you can survive with 99.99% uptime for now. You've got an engineering team of 3 people, so keep everything simple."

And yet I still get some pushback, people saying, "No, we want play in the big leagues, we want everything to be perfect right from the start."

That kind of perfectionism can kill a startup. That kind of perfectionism is entirely at odds with the spirit of a "minimal viable product."

Yet I keep having clients who want to prematurely imitate the best practices of Google, long before they have revenue to justify it.

I wrote a satire of how some of these conversations go, which I posted here:

Ask HN: Autopopulate entire grocery list for delivery, from influencers
I want to order different groceries. I don't want to research various diets or ingredients for seasonal recipes, the reason I don't want to is simple: because I won't.

But I will instead just get things similar to the prior things I've ordered, which is adequate. Now I want to branch out.

From talking with people, who seem to get a joy out of doing this stuff, my experience is seen as absurd and invalid, I see it is as underserviced.

Is there a service that lets me autopopulate a grocery list for delivery based on a trending or social recommendation?

I want to look at NYT Cooking and have a grocery list that will use one of my local food delivery apps and choose the most similar food item.

I don't really want someone's startup that I have to sign up for that doesn't really do this and doesn't cause delivery from the places that Amazon Grocery/Instacart/Walmart do. But I am open to knowing about them and the people working on this underserved market, because I get the impression it doesn't exist. Even something as simple a mobile website that deep links into Amazon Grocery per item would be a step up.

Apps I've seen that have any sort of grocery list sharing are limited to your contacts or imagining that its for a family. Its still a "make your own list first" experience and assumption. I want a "here's what other people are buying list, buy now" experience.

I'm fine with paying a premium for this.

That's kind of my point, it's less obvious how to do basic things in js/ts than golang.

What's the vanilla way in ts/js to do the equivalent of this golang code where getChoice makes an HTTP call and can't make more than 5 per second?

for _, v := range choices {
getChoice(v)

}

Also, why doesn't Deno.sleepSync work as I expect here?
Prints are a near-perfect replica of any painting, and also professional forgers routinely copy works of, or create original works of, major artists in order to make a lot of money. However prints are typically worth a fraction of the original work, and the moment a forged painting is discovered its value plummets.

The value of the NFT is not primarily in how it looks. The value of the NFT is in the provenance, the history, the background of the creator, etc.

You are cherry-picking the best experience one can have on macOS, and contrasting it with the worst experience on Windows. This way it just sounds like comparing in bad faith.

There is plenty of Mac software that requires an installer and Uninstaller, plenty of off-behaving applications that put stuff directly into ~ or ~/Documents, and even those that install some internal executables into /usr/local/bin.

You can have an equally pleasant experience on Windows (after all, this is about portable apps...). There is "mature" software whose installers will just override (update) the existing application (e.g. Anki, Affinity apps), %APPDATA% is your Application Support folder on Windows (if only more software would use it), and then there's also the slightly new .appx packaging with a clean way of uninstalling. No one hinders you to just download portable apps directly from the vendor and putting it into C:/Applications, if you want that.

If there is an odd one out, it would be Desktop Linux.

It's unclear whether these flash loans can even be used to exploit arbitrage opportunities. Arbitrage involves simultaneous transactions in different markets, whereas flash loans only allow simultaneous transactions in the same blockchain. Anyway, arbitrage is not a sufficient condition for market efficiency. There's plenty of evidence showing that crypto-markets are rife with fraud and are anything but efficient.

> The two reservists say that each light/USB combo costs approximately $2,800 to make. The idea, as it stands now, is that a single B-52H would have three of these units installed in its cockpit.

Tldr; They're proposing to spend $2800 x 3 for each aircraft so they can upgrade a flashlight and provide charging for an ipad.

This is the epitome of government waste. Last I checked, B-52 pilots got along fine for a good 50 years with paper maps and checklists, which also have the benefit of not needing electricity at all. Have we had a bunch of problems with B-52 pilots being unable to read paper maps and checklists that I don't know about?

I thought your were talking about price inflation, but you actually wrote "monetary inflation", my bad. But what's the point of taming monetary inflation if that does nothing for price inflation? I thought that price inflation was the practical consequence we have to deal with, isn't that the case?

> Demand can't really be predicted, but historically we know that if supply expansion is predictably low (like in gold), most people would prefer to save their wealth in that money.

The supply of bitcoins is low, but the supply of bitcoin-like tokens seems limitless. The question is: which pool do we consider? Are BTC and ETH in the same pool? What about other tokens? The same reasoning applies to gold and other metals, but at least you won't come up with a new one on a whim like you can with cryptocurrencies.
What are the consequences of ad-tech surveillance in practice?

I don’t understand your view - if you don’t want to be tracked (speaking strictly about the services in the GitHub) why not just not use them?

If they provide so much value such that you still want to use them why shouldn’t they receive compensation in the form of tracking, ads or money directly?
This. Even if the solution you come up with in the end is almost literally copied from SO, you'll still have learned something and saw different ways of doing things, which is often more valueable than just writing up a naive but working piec of code. Nothing wrong with that, but especially when still learning a language it's more interesting to figure out the typical way of doing things because you'll come across them again and again. Hence also helps reading other code which uses these constructs. And once you know them they're often faster to write and easier to read/grasp.
It makes for mega cringe lords like Gary Vee. Dude is like 60 and dresses like a Fortnite teenager so he can peddle NFTs to kids as an investment strategy. I always found him to be annoying and the NFT space basically confirmed it.
A couple reasons. First, it's a matter of degree. Arguably https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29659145 was a step in the wrong direction (the generic-nationalistic direction) but https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29659160 was clearly much worse.

Second, I wasn't responding to just the one comment but to an obvious (and very bad) pattern in the comments by that account. Note "you've been doing it a lot, unfortunately". The reason we'd ban an account is because they posted one comment like the GP, but because they're making a habit of breaking the site guidelines.

I hope it goes without saying that these moderation calls involve no relative assessment of threats to national sovereignty.

Scarcity on it's own does not equal value. The value comes either from social consensus or direct utility.

Real numbers are scarce. There's only one of each.
