Thanks for this, I remember going down a rabbit hole parsing the codes on my last set of tyres trying to figure out what to replace it with (I learned there's a standard, ETRTO [1]) and I'm glad something like this now exists! Great work. Do you have plans for it beyond what's there already?

The price of farmland in the USA has more than doubled per acre in the past 18 months. It’s at the point now where without significant price increases for the outputs, farming won’t be worth doing unless you’re a giant ADM style cartel that makes up the difference in ethanol subsidies, regulatory capture, or some other flavor of cronyism.

Ask HN: Web3 – Worth Learning?
I'm not new, been developing web/mobile/hybrid apps since 2014, I'm very suspicious about web3 I personally think it's a fad, but I possibly can be wrong. I missed the AppStore rush in 2009, so I'm thinking is it worth learning web3 now, anyone of HN users in same boat ? what are your thoughts ?
I've had insomnia and have been successful with bi-phasic sleep. I suspend an e-reader above my head and read until I'm ready to drift off quickly. If I wake up, I keep reading. I dont need to get to work early so I don't set an alarm and it's okay if I read for an hour and sleep in.

Letting go of strict timing and associated stress has been key. I'm not looking at the clock counting down hours of sleep while trying to depart.

Granted, a state actor can (depending how important the state is to your business) compel you to not counter their attacks.

But that isn’t really a question of technology, and the parent comment was, I think, suggesting it’s an unrealistic expectation on the tech level for companies to beat back state actors.

I would be curious to see how much you would need to spend to replicate all the services that large cities generally have for a typical upper middle class family.

Local school probably doesn't have AP classes or anyone to meaningfully help with SAT prep. Or a computer science teacher. Got to hire tutors to do all that or send the kids to boarding school.

Probably cannot get childcare. Got to import a nanny if you want full time childcare. And the nanny will need a car as nothing is in walking distance.

Airports. You are going to spend a bunch extra flying out of whatever little regional airport is nearby. No low cost carriers in these small towns.

Then there are the things that cannot be replicated, like ambulances:

There's really little else to say to folks that don't respect others' right to speech they don't like or agree with.

The natural right to free speech is so important that it is explicitly called out in the very first of many constitutional amendments, which makes it fundamental to the USA.

It's really not unreasonable to refer to somebody who disagrees with this fundamental natural and human right, which has been a tradition in the USA, as being "anti-American".

Nobody has a right to be free from speech or ideas they disagree with.
What does traditional mean?

In the 90's, there were rural towns in the Dakotas, which were auctioning off land. This permafrost land was left in the hands of the municipalities/banks who were trying to avoid paying taxes on the land.

Any sizable plots north and east of Kansas out to Ohio (not including West Virginia), is pretty easy to sell, since you can lease it out to farmers for the foreseeable future.
But philosophy doesn't tend to layer so deep as to require especially complex jargon. You need to know some of the field-specific ideas (signifier/signified for semiotics for example) but these are intuitive concepts that relate to daily life, not hyper-specialised concepts like what you'd find in chemistry or physics.

Given how many people get upset by even the term "postmodernism", I think it's a worthy exercise to make the concepts more accessible so that less people think it's an exercise in trying to destroy the philosophical foundations of the West, and more an exercise in trying to understand the reality we live in.
Falsehoods these programmers believed about countries
Are you sure about the „explicitly“ part? I think it in certain cases, implicit consent should be enough, e.g. when a payment processor is contacted from a website. Even if you were running your own payment gateway, the user of your shop should be aware that the website will have to share information with their bank or credit card company. I think sharing data with third parties should not be easier than offline, but also not harder. Or do you sign a consent form each time you swipe your CC?
If that was the case, I'd agree with you. But as outlined in the comments of this submission time and time again, it was not what happened here.

The user was not doing a normal transfer (at least, they didn't want to, but they ended up doing). They didn't know what they were doing at all, a simply Google search would have showed them the way. Using UIs instead of interacting with the contract directly would have prevented them from making the mistake they did. Doing a small test transfer before doing the big one would have revealed what was wrong as well.

It's not that I'm comparing writing software for moon missions with making cryptocurrency transactions. I was directly replying to mox1 implying that writing 100% correct code is impossible and shouldn't be attempted.
> Just that it is possible to explain something with simpler language doesn't mean it is always desirable to.

Why? As a scientist doing theoretical work, one of my main drives isn't always to discover new things, it's to explain known things "better", where better usually means in terms of simpler concepts or with more lightweight objects, with less accidental complexity. This goal of simplicity is very central in science, with concepts like occam's razor.

> There are very few people complaining about the unreadability of quantum equations in fundamental physics or the jargon of theoretical mathematics.

I can't speak for physics, but in mathematics a lot of people (mathematicians, logicians) criticize the mathematical jargon of category theory. And in fact there are lots of people in the programming language community (around type theory) that imho is trying to make category theory more accessible by using it parcimonously, rewording stuff and making it shine in simple ways (by giving some short hints for categorists but otherwise explaining classic lemma instead of referencing them).

> Yet for philosophy, especially that which criticises the current order, this is somehow seen as discrediting.

There's critic and critic. Having a text full of unnecessary jargon does imho greatly reduces any subversive pretensions. Things will always have some intrinsic complexity, but adding additional complexity in the form of tons of implicit references (when the relevant part could have been explained succintly) or poetic writing style is an obstruction to the sharing of knowledge (which is the actual benchmark for subversivity: how much can it lead to actual actions).
That may be true of your Twitter feed but it does not seem to be true on this site.
A view can't be censorship. Censorship is the compulsory suppression of speech, and arguably the compulsion has to be done by a government (if it's not done by a government, then it's not compulsory). Censorship is an act, not an opinion.

While I agree that developing prints at home is a bit problematic, developing black and white films is not. Afterwards you can scan the negatives using an Epson Photo scanner etc.

My workflow for 120mm films is to wait until I have more than 5-7 rolls and process them one by one: while the previous one is in the developer, the next one is in the fixer. In this way, you can process them all very fast.

My biggest concern, though, is the environment. In the past you had special places where you could dispose used chemicals. But even then very few people cared, most just wouldn't care. Today even the last bath bothers me - it should be thorough to be effective, and I'd just prefer not to waste the water so much.

IMHO requiring all types in C to have a valid "all zero" variant so that this pattern can be used isn't grate either, somewhat of an anti-pattern even. But an anti-pattern needed for ergonomic C.

The post is a good example for trying to program "like in a different language" just because some tools somewhat allow it. Like in this case "programming rust like it's C".

And if you do rust FFI and have a lot of C experience it is tempting.

My sympathies.

tldr; You (like many others) are having an existential crisis. The facts that previously underpinned your reality no longer seem true. Your challenge is to find some way to live authentically. What you've identified, a sense of belonging, is crucial part of living authentically for many people.

---

I'm 35, and though I have a growing family, I am also nostalgic for that time in my mid 20s where I had less money, but intimate friends were close at hand. Recently, I've been having a feeling that something is "over".

The best encapsulation of this feeling I've read is from the Witcher short story "The Bounds of Reason". "... a wish, as desire, a yearning. Faith that there are no limits to possibility"

The ignorance of youth is really ignorance of an unknown future stretches out ahead. As I've aged the limits of possibility made themselves apparent. That faith in limitlessness was broken, and that break caused an existential crisis.

The single piece of advice I have is to grapple directly with the nature of the human condition. There are lots of ways people deal with this: finding a purpose, finding a community (like a real one, not one based on a comercial product), finding god. Put simply, the

I've seen a lot of nice ideas: volunteering, relocating, exposing yourself to different kinds of people, finding projects, therapy. I've found those helpful. But that might not be enough.

A crisis is also an opportunity. This is a chance to reevaluate what your life means to you, and what you want to do with the time you have.

I wish you the best.
Yes, but the misunderstanding is on your side.

This is overly simplified so not entirely accurate, but if 100 customers typo their destination IBAN the modulo 97 checksum will probably let 3 of them through.
I wonder if the high prices you're seeing are because you're looking at black & white film.

B&W film is quite forgiving of under/over-exposure, and it allows for push processing. On the flip side, every type of film has its own developing time & some mild chemical preference.

Color film isn't very DIY friendly, but it does have the benefit of being very consistent from a processing perspective.

From what I've seen, it's usually a difference of 2x or 3x in price for black and white vs. color (C41).

Do they? I was under impression that all US politicians aside from Sanders support current system.

Anyway… I think both systems are very similar in the end. Rich (or even middle class) gets great service in premium facilities. Average folks get OK service with some downsides, likely paying out of pocket in various ways. The only difference may be poor people coverage which is subsidized by upper tier payers. Who themselves may never use public service and go to premium only.

Also, another major difference may be the big expensive procedures. Aside from the 1%, people would do the procedure in public hospital because it’s crazy expensive otherwise. But everything else leading up to it and recovery after it more likely to happen in premium market since it’s much more affordable.

That just seems strange. I can understand wanting to have one person who is the ultimate decision-maker for company policy and I can understand wanting to avoid a possibility of deadlock if founders disagree, but neither of those requires anything close to the extreme change you described. What founder in any startup that was established enough to be seeking VC funding would ever accept that kind of change?
In my view neither of those rights are implicated here. Those are rights against interference by the government. Private individuals and corporations are free to interfere with each other’s speech as long as it doesn’t break any laws.

To me, this is just a variety of boycott, and boycotts are something that we have been ok with for a long time.

Just as the article notes, free lots in out-of-the-way towns aren't too attractive because you still have to spend many dozens of thousands of dollars to put on a house on it, and then you live in an out-of-the-way town with few ways to resell. At that point, you could move to the rural fringe of a populous area, and be a lot closer to amenities, entertainment, good schools, healthcare, childcare, shopping, etc.

In dense and popular areas, it's the land prices that contribute to high housing prices. In less popular areas, it's construction prices that dominate the cost.

Tech debt is only a useful label for communicating with non-technical people.

As a concept it lacks all nuance. I argue it is one of those vague, amorphous blobs that means anything to anyone, to the point that no one agrees on anything when discussing it, except that it exists. Everyone thinks they know what it is though, which makes it all the worse.

I advocate we discuss real issues with code and architecture instead of using the term 'tech debt'. Articles like this are like going to a self-help speaker. You walk away feeling great but also totally unequipped to change anything because the advice was contrived and only works in non-existent general situations.

I think you're both right to a degree. I agree the jargon is pretty well defined at this point, but it certainly is not as widely understood as the earlier computing and internet jargon. I think the mainstream is in the phase of basically having no idea whatsoever. I am sympathetic to them. I think they feel chuffed with themselves for finally figuring out what Bitcoin is, and now we're telling them they're still over half a decade behind the curve?!
Similarly it says I would spend 76.3% more money on healthcare if I were in Germany rather than India. While the comparison is between healthcare spend per capita, the inference drawn is completely wrong as for most procedures I would be completely covered by insurance in Germany whereas in India it would be highly dependent on the exact insurance policy I have and even then outpatient procedures would not be covered.

So in reality if I were in Germany I'd be spending way less on healthcare than if I were in India.

Aside from Bill Atkinson simply being a genius, a shining trait of HC is that it didn't try to do everything.

There was a successor to HC called SuperCard (which I used to create a printed circuit board drawing app). SC added all of the features "missing" from HC, such as a large variety of different window types. In the process, it became harder to use, for not very much gain. Having both HC and SC on my computer, I invariably reached for HC, even when it meant that my programs didn't look quite as snappy.

For me, HC was what made it tolerable to use a Mac. I did some pretty outrageous things with it, such as controlling a primitive custom machine tool. I did have to create some "code resources" in Pascal or C to access my hardware interfaces, but those codes were often on the order of a couple dozen lines, and rarely needed to be maintained.

Visual Basic made the same mistake. The more "professional" it became, the harder it was for the people who were actually interested in using it. I stuck with VB5 long after VB.NET came out.
No. The point of democracy is to spread "democracy" to other parts of the globe so that they can be cheaply exploited. It has nothing to do with the people of the nation. The only masters are some of the big corporations.

No, I didn't conclude all Japanese women are submissive. I met two who embodied the “ideal of the submissive woman,” which creeped me out completely and showed me how awful that is as an actual personality trait. That's literally what I said.

But you're naive if you don't think there is a deeply ingrained culture of perpetuating learned helplessness because of Japan’s highly hierarchical society or Japanese men and women don't hold up submissiveness as a desirable trait in themselves or their partners. It's every bit as widespread as the perfect housewife image from the 1950s used to be in the US.
