I'm in a moderately ok country, and I still see buying a new car as a luxury. It's something you do much later in life/career, when you can't be bother to take care of the extra management a used car comes with. And definitely not for everybody - there's quite a few people I know that are middle age with kids and don't even think about a new car. They just have chose other tradeoffs
And 1 stable coin is backed by 1 dollar in the bank. That means one stable coin is backed by 0.01 real dollar.

Because it is the part that is the most misleading about this statistic.
I am not a big fan of southern France so I am biased.

PROS

- the weather if you like hot weather. It can be quite windy, but going for a picnic on the beach in February has its nice aspects

- there is a techhnopole at Sophia-Antipolis where they hire on a regular basis

- skiing: the Alps are close, or the Pyrenées - depending on where you are

- the views are really nice and vary a lot

CONS:

- the weather, it is too hot :)

- road communication is complicated, public transports are not great either

- prices of housing are high (depends on the place, obviously)

My preference would be places such as Nantes or Rennes (western part of France), or the western coast of the Atlantic (below Brittany: Charente Maritime, Vendée, ...)

You can do this with sudo too.
Leave the yubikey plugged in all the time. It's fine with respect to most threat models, provided you lock the graphical session when you are away from the computer.

If someone steals the key, they can't really do anything with it. They can't sudo because the session is locked. They can't use it to log in your web accounts from other computers because websites ask for a password/pin in addition to touching the yubikey.

PS: you should always have a backup yubikey (or, better, two)
100% agree. I think the unsolved meta problem here is large-scale game theoretic stalemates where we all lose in grand ways, and yet nobody can bust out of their local incentives.

To do so successfully would require thousands of unacquainted people to coordinate changes (against their backdrop of incentives) simultaneously.

Governments are made for this but after a certain size and complexity, their people get stuck in the same frontier of stuck incentives.

I've seen a "minimize turns" option in some navigation app.

Also, during heavy traffic, I'd be fine with making 30 turns and continuously recalculated rerouting if it saved significant time.
A late comment I know but one I just realised is important.

This whole article bothered me. And the realisation is that it expects upfront design to work as something distinct from coding.

"The code is the design" (Jack Reeves) is a fundamental point - until you write the code, you are just dealing with "artist's impressions" - vague ideas that might not hang together. The code has to be written (to be thrown away) so that things can be really worked out.

Other points:

* everyone does not have time to be always commenting on everyone elses iterations. Yes there is time for the big architectural design. But every day? If I am commenting on some other engineers work daily and not actually working with them something is off.

* going off and coming back with a big PR. YEs thats bad. Going off and coming back with a Proof Of Concept that will inform the discussion. Thats good.

With a Big System, the right way to do it is to do one (at least) to throw away.

I started an open, special-interest community based around a mailing list (SMTP) around ~30 years ago, pre-Web 2.0, in a time when a lot of folks were glad to just be able to send email on the Internet, let alone browse it with some fancy browser thingy.

Its still running and still functioning as a social network.

The Internet is only as strong as its protocols, which is to say it is extremely strong because there are more than one protocol to use for the purposes of communication.

The crazy thing is, the cyclomatic complexity of dealing with communication over email versus through some web-based interface, is pretty much not comparable. Email is much easier to use - if you treat email with the respect it deserves. But I think so many generations of Internet users were taught to use email derisively, or non-productively, so it 'feels' like a downgrade to go back to text-based email. Top-quoting vs. bottom-quoting, rich text versus plain, X-headers versus custom .sigs, there is a huge list of things that can go wrong with email-based social networking, but ultimately the proof is in the pudding: we're still running. We still have occasional flame wars and the odd exodus of favourite members, but we also have regular returns of long-lost members who make their way back to the mailing list after a few years of hell on the other networks.

So, for 30 years, we've been doing the social networking thing just fine.. Functionally, we have the same degree of internal communication in our group as any Facebook groups - only, we're 100% in control of our own data and no third party can (easily) shut down the discourse. I consider this one of the factors for why we've survived 30 years as a group without implosion - there is no control point besides the mailserver itself, and that is protected by an admin whose understanding of human interaction precludes interfering when things get toasty ... so when people leave, they leave. We don't care, its not part of our business model to capture eyeballs, etc.

That said, we are pretty small and don't get many new members popping in, although we welcome it. Perhaps thats a blessing, maybe its a curse. We'll see in another 30 years, I'm guessing ...
There's a lot of funny maths with grants. It's a lot like taking money from one pocket and putting it in another. So a $1M grant is actually a fraction of that when it comes to actual money that a prof gets to use.
Prescription stimulants. That's not good advice though.

Better advice is to look within yourself, figure out what you really know you should be doing, and go do that instead of whatever it is you're not motivated to do. Figure out what matters to you, find like-minded people, and the motivation will reverberate between you and your chosen community.

At least, that's what the successful people I know do.
Sounds like they are just leaving money on the table ? (So there must be other reasons ?)
Can you give some example of the kind of breakage your experienced?
> For example, felons in the US are banned from owning guns even after they served their time.

I'm not a big fan of that, but I would prefer that it reflect the harm done from the crime and the statistics surrounding recidivism.

A simple drug possession offense should not warrant banning you from voting or guns when you are done. If you were convicted of an armed robbery, maybe the guns should be banned.

I really don't like the idea that once you're done with the justice system it continues to punish you. Once you are done with it, you should be done--especially if the crime was "victimless" (ie. something like drug possession where the only harm would be to yourself).

This becomes a significant issue in, for example, sex offenders. Some places have so many restrictions on sex offenders that, for all intents and purposes, they cannot comply with probation and cannot function in society. Well, if you're going to do that, at least be honest that you are simply "executing them on the cheap and out of sight" and either keep them in prison or execute them explicitly.

This is one of the problems with low-level drug convictions--the "felony" conviction becomes a poor man's "social discredit" system. And most of us from Western democracies understand pretty solidly why "social credit" systems are pernicious.

This is a recent development. When gay marriage was less popular among voters a couple decades ago, "conservative" meant "neoconservatism", which was exactly the same as neoliberalism, but without the LGBT+.

(I hope that I have now successfully offended every political ideology that claims to have centuries of philosophical backing behind it.)
That would mean that Russia is a country of very rich people, since even the blue collar workers here can afford a family vacation per year, going to e.g. Turkey or Egypt - these tours come pre-packaged therefore really cheap. Middle-class youth routinely have 2-3 of these, going to more exclusive destinations. A lot of these will never buy a car, especially a new one, since a new car costs 10 years worth of vacations.

That seems like a simple question - yes, they are poor. It would be miserable and horrific, and they'd be happy every day they were healthy because it would be a pleasant surprise.

And there is nothing romantic about being poor and ignorant at the same time. Even if hot running water is now considered a colonial luxury.
So is he wrong about not being able to type check that then?
What google did with maps is amazing, but for me a lot of my friends it's becoming a second choice. Coverage with data in my area is impressive, traffic jams info is amazing, but in general algorithms became way "too smart".

With google maps I am being dragged through streets that barely have any asphalt because someone with a tractor went through there. I have a tiny road nearby that is more of a sidewalk for locals, goes tightly between buildings. Google proposes it as a route for a few years now, but only Uber drivers try that - most cars have to fold mirrors to get through. But if someone tries, google treats it as a success and proposes it for everyone. It's painful because all the data about that road and surroundings is there, and when in offline mode it would never let me drive through there.

A lot of friends went for smaller map suppliers, I'm using Osmand~ on longer trips, or that new TomTom app "amigo", as these work like maps used to work 10 years ago - prioritize for typical routes, not the crazy ones. If Osmand had a database with speed cams as big and dynamic as the competition I would never look back. But now I just use two maps - one for route, one for speedcams and warnings.
>>That's not a serious way to argue at all.

There is nothing of substance to argue against. Characterizing all profit as exploitation is completely baseless.

It's also extremely inflammatory, making this accusation totally irresponsible, and it unsurprising that every society which has accepted this pseudoscientific doctrine has turned into a Hellish dystopia full of repression.

>>No, it hasn't.

There are a number of noun phrases with colors on them that have political meaning, that's different than the color alone, not in combination with the modified noun, having political meaning.
Yes and no. It can be very counter-productive to engage in difficult discourse, which may interrupt your flow and disturb your productivity for days, knowing that you are incurring a lot of online turmoil for sharing a view counter to mainstream narrative.

But reading HN regularly also can provide daily insight into the workings of an industry that is notoriously obfuscated by all and sundry.

Use it productively: don't spend more than 30 minutes a day on HN, in total, over the course of a day. Open the articles that interest you, participate as you can, and ignore the stuff that isn't relevant. Its a valuable feed.
Ask HN: How to find a junior web dev role?
Hey hey,

My girlfriend is an environmental scientist but is currently learning to code. She's done a bootcamp (Scrimba, JavaScript), and now is working on a side project of mine/ours (Ruby on Rails, JavaScript)[0]. I think it's a great way for her to learn, since it's a real project with real users and I can give her feedback in PR reviews, like it's done in the real world.

Eventually, she wants to get a proper job as a junior dev, to get the experience of work in a bigger team and not just with me, and to see how she likes this profession.

Do you have any tips on how to find a junior dev role without a traditional computer science background? Most job listings I see are for more experienced devs...

Thanks!

The color red seems to politically date back to the French revolution and has since been mostly associated with the far left of the political spectrum in seemingly all places except the modern US (thanks, GOP). Likewise brown is typically associated with fascists and nazis (due to the "brownshirts").

Annoyingly my home country (Germany) uses both black and blue to indicate conservative or right-wing parties. Conservatives being indicated in blue seems to be somewhat common internationally but black is historically tied to anarchism (which uses a black flag to be the flag of all people that no one country can claim, unlike the white flag of surrender).
Given the amount of discussion during the pandemic of "open the schools so the parents can go back to work, even if that means transmitting the virus between families", I think the demand for automated childcare would be huge.

It would be a status symbol to not have it, of course - real organically raised human children! - but the struggling middle class would pick up robonanny-as-a-service immediately if it was cheaper than other childcare.
Sorry, I'm trying to focus on one brand (my favourite) so I don't get overwhelmed or distracted. Might broaden into other brands in future though.
That was my conclusion as well, everything was simply insanely cheap then compared to today. A car today cost much more than 3 months salary, and to rent such an apartment would be basically impossible.

The rent was 12% of his income only. Which means a bachelor with a middle class job could easily rent an apartment with 4 bedrooms and 2 sitting rooms. LOL

Everything was much much cheaper. Except exotic food groceries.
No worries haha,

In paper they actually propose general light, possibly construction ones, and an near IR camera with NBP filter for 1140nm. Seems reasonable to me.
First generation transplants are always both. David would have died soon without this (he's quite likely to die soon with it too, unfortunately, if this goes anything like other first of a kind transplant receivers). Desperate people accept desperate measures, and the hope that it may teach us how to save others helps too.
Nvidia is the only credible buyer for ARM.

Everyone that wants an arch license has one (Intel, AMD, Apple, QC, Mediatek, Broadcom, Marvel, Huawei, Samsung, etc) and doesn't have to put down cash, they can just poach ARMs best chip designers away from them. ARM gets to strangle the $10 landfill router market until RISC-V takes over.
Ability to forcibly sell a gpu to each is worth even more money (ie. see lawsuit on how Quallcomm bundle their modem on every SoC for a premium)

> As to returns to IP holders, those are often the pension fund, who then pay the pensions to pensioners who then spend it on stuff.

Pensions aren't distributed evenly across the population, it tends to be that the richer you are, the bigger the pension. That means that IP has the effect of making the rich richer, increasing inequality.

Against That Poverty and Infant EEGs Study
I've been running my own self-hosted blog server, IRC server, git server and (more recently) Nextcloud server for almost two decades. And I definitely have no interest in turning them into unicorns: they're just my space on the Internet, and not everyone is willing to turn their houses into party mansions. Most importantly, nobody but myself (or maybe a massive DNS/BGP outage) can take these spaces down, which is a pretty big pro in today's centralized world.

But I'm also aware of being an exception. I'm aware that people, on average, don't like to run their own servers. So just let people be people. I don't like all this nostalgia about how good the times of BBS, IRC, RSS feeds or self-hosted websites were, because these things still represent they way I consume the Internet in 2022. People have changed all around, sure, hype mounts and dies, but I don't care. People are people, let them put all of their pictures and sensitive information on a computer run by a creep like Zuckerberg if they like. But I'm unwilling to compromise and follow this craze.
CPU intensive tasks are highly optimized already.

As far as I can tell, a slow computer is due to swapping from having a bunch of stuff open, or an inherently heavy background task and an OS that doesn't know how to allocate resources.

Sometimes there's some kind of network access bogging everything down, now that SASS is everywhere(In which case, we need more abstractions and developer productivity to enable offline work!).

Sometimes things are slow because we are doing a lot of heavy media processing. That's not inefficiency, it's just inherently heavy work. In fact, simplicity might actively slow things even more, because what you really need for that stuff is to use the GPU, and the "bloated mega library" you're avoiding might already do that.

Android is kind of the proof. Android is always pretty fast. Anything 15yo hardware could do trivially, Android can probably do faster. And Android is not lightweight.

There may be some slowness out there caused by abstraction layers, but as far as I can tell without digging into the code of every slow app I've ever seen, the real problem is the keep it simple mindset that discourages even basic optimization tricks like caching, and the NIH that makes people write things themselves and assume it's faster just because it's smaller.

Plus, the UNIXy pipeline mentality that did a number on computing. GUI workflows are not pipelines and there's lots of things that are very messy to do in a pipe style model, like changing one thing and selectively recomputing only what needs changing.

The "Data processing" way of thinking leads to producing a batch of stuff, then passing it to something that computes with it, instead of working directly with a state.

Hi, can you share this theme?
This trick sometimes pops up in C++ as well, although I never seen it used in production.

I think the earliest use I can remember is with the experimental FC++ library[1], circa 2001.

I used a "high street filled with shops" vs "public library filled with books" analogy for the current internet vs old internet a year or so back:

" ...imagine you live in a town which has a high street filled with shops trying to sell you things, and a public library filled with books trying to tell you things. If you want to buy something you go down the high street to look at the shops, and if you want to read something you go into the library to look for a book. Both activities can co-exist - good libraries do not put shops out of business or vice versa. But you don't want both activities to happen at the same time - you don't want a library filled with salespeople trying to get between you and your books, because that would be distinctly unhelpful at best and downright annoying at worst. The problem is that the internet has turned into a city that is all shops and no libraries. Not even local independent shops at that, just giant out-of-town retail malls... "[0]

>People are definitely getting more stuff than they did 40 years ago. My iPhone is testament to that. As is the lack of power cuts.

Yeah, we can get much more and much cheaper stuff than before thanks to the 'Made in China' boom, but what we can't get now is affordable real-estate. Too bad we can't go live inside our iPhones. /s
Small feedback for the letsencrypt folk: I got the email saying that I have two ACME accounts ids affected. It would have been nice to know which domains are (even if it's just the first ~10 or so per account).
Yeah, they pushed an update that made the device completely unusable. I'm not sure if that was related to the issue with the storage on it also degrading. I still have it and I managed to load a custom rom on it but it's still remarkably slow. It's too bad, too. The device itself was (and still is, IMO) something that I'd love a modern version of without all the issues. I also had a nexus 5 phone which was great (and aesthetically it's still my favorite phone ever)... until it got stuck in a bootloop 2 weeks after warranty... which they helped me out with and sent me another one out of warranty, but that replacement also almost immediately started bootlooping.

After that I just can't trust Google at all with hardware and since then my opinion of Google as a whole has largely soured. The Galaxy S6 I got to replace it worked quite well but after several years went back to the iPhone .
That sounds, in theory, like a pretty cool use for ZKP. However, I'm skeptical how you fulfil the other requirements that vaccine QR codes generally have without also providing a workaround for tracking.

For instance, most vaccine QR codes are not considered valid by themselves, as I could simply share my QR code with my friend. So I need to present valid photo ID alongside the QR code.
I still consider HN to have one of the greatest signal/noise ratios out there. It's rare to not find one or two interesting things each day.
