> Until the point that nobody wants to be the USD bag holder.
Plenty of boomers still don’t think of saving USD as a terrible idea because they were trained their whole life to have faith in it. They are being robbed in plain sight, sadly. But younger generations won’t put up with it.

I'm not sure whether you're opposed to the USD compared to other currencies, or cash in general opposed to stocks/bonds etc. For the former point, the US military's strength* ensures that the dollar is likely to stay the strongest of currencies even in a medium-term environment (say 50-100 years in my estimate), with only the Euro coming close.

For the latter, I don't think that was what the earlier posters were talking about.

* I'm not saying spending so much on the military is necessarily a good idea, neither am I a US citizen
Would it work though? The transistors are quite large compared to today's processor's transistors, and at that high frequency the routing delay for the signal to travel around transistors is quite significant. This seems more useful for a low-transistor-count high frequency device.
Except division of labor means people are paying people for the actual casting vs any other task. Therefore if you can cast the spells of 4 people that adds actual value directly.

Plenty of other things add more value, but replacing 4 or more people at 200k a pop is already significant money.
In gVisor if you aren't using hardware acceleration (eg: virtualization) then you are using ptrace which is incredibly slow.
> With strong cultural bonds. You put a guy from Karnataka in the same room as someone from Assam and they will have more in common with each other than someone from Ireland with someone from Turkey.

Ah yes. But if you put someone from Ireland with someone from Italy, they will have as much in common as those to guys you mentioned.

> You can roam most of India if you known two languages: English and Hindi.

Ah yes. English. How did you put it? "To say that a people who have no sense of their own nation created the Indian nation is a joke."

And now you mention English (before Hindi) as a "shared language".

Additionally, "Although Widely Spoken, Around 56% of Indians Don't Identify Hindi as Their Mother Tongue" [1]

> If you know about the partition of India,

Doesn't matter what I think or two-nations theory. The fact is that India has as much "shared religion" as Europe.

You're probably right. I should have written more to this.
Big +1 for talking through the actual issue with your CC rep and asking them how to best process the claim. 9 times out of 10 the answer is pretty straightforward but that 10th time you can really get saved by getting the advice of someone who knows the system and is as "on your side" as they can be.
I knew there might be more content, but had no idea how to get there. It never occurred to me that I should move sideways. There was no hint.

And it's a shame because it's an otherwise really nice website.
I think this comment completely misunderstands what most people's savings are. 401Ks and the like are usually invested in a bunch of equities, bonds, and mutual funds. The value of these is commonly denominated in USD (if you live in the US), but they are not USD!

Most people already don't "save" USD. They save equities and then trade them back into USD when it's time to retire. I don't see how BTC changes this other than adding another equity to the list of stuff you can invest in.
Do regular SWE jobs not pay enough for you? I don't understand the point of this question at all. Join an early stage startup and negotiate for a bunch of equity.
This, and also the licensing question. Intel has said they will license x86 cores for use in 3rd party SoC's/chiplets, but maybe only if you use IFS.
You do it via let’s encrypt… let’s encrypt only issues chase.com certificates to hosts it verifies are behind chase.com domains. That’s why they’re trusted as a CA.
Thanks for the advice. I was around at the time. I don't need some self-hating racist journalist explain it all to me.
To me "What Color is Your Function" (the original article this one refers to) was so obviously discussing monads that I was surprised by the reveal it was specifically focused on async. In retrospect I shouldn't have, because that article was about mainstream languages and few of them mention monads by name.
Sorry that I was unclear. My bad. I hate programming, of all things. Math, electronics, all good, I hate code.
We’d hire you at my family office, and cheerfully pay per project if you preferred. Or hourly + some upside, depending on the project. Drop me an email if you’d like. Tech stack that is most needed: JS, Rust, and devops skills.

Obviously the advice “start a start-up” has some caveats, but this is Hacker News, I mean this whole site/community started with the idea that “hackers” should just start start-ups, for similar reasons to this.
> The important question remains, is what is good for the government, good for its people?

If the answer is close enough to "no", then you know this is not a democracy.
Of course your first exposure is not formal education, but the things I picked up by ear, the speakers had learned in formal education. Nobody becomes an expert in a field, completely detached from the existing body of knowledge. You could learn it only by immersion if you, for some reason, really want to avoid formal education, but you're still using an existing body of knowledge, even though mentally you might not call things "adverbs". And the likely, going that route will be much longer and harder, and also put a limit on how far you can go.
> India has been recognised as a single entity for a long time before the British, for instance the Ancient Romans, Chinese, Arabs and Greeks.

Humans do like to lump together foreign entities that share some similarity. That's not recognition, that's not knowing better. Often augmented by, to put it politely, submaximal respect. Not even the lump that became namesake to the term "balkanized" is immune to generalizations.
Genuinely curious, where do you store your passwords and sensitive info like SSH keys?

I hear a lot of "cloud password managers are bad!" but I rarely see someone follow up with a better approach. Even better to them.

I've been using a password manager for years and I've always thought I was making a good decision but then I see all these comments and I wonder if I'm missing something.

There are many studies that look at communication comprehension and retention for where you can see the speaker's face vs. where you cannot.

The results are unsurprising. Being able to see the speaker's face improves comprehension. People rely so heavily on visual information to decode speech that there's a phenomenon known as the McGurk effect; if you set up an experimental rig so the brain receives visual information suggesting one sound but auditory information suggesting another, the visual information often takes priority over what was heard in decoding the speech.

(As someone hearing impaired, this is, pardon the pun, blindingly obvious to me. Sometimes, whether I can understand the words of a talking head on TV depends entirely on whether I look at them or not. But hearing people rely on lipreading too. From what I've read, usually far more than they're aware.)
Malcom Gladwell did a great segment on his podcast Revisionist History about this. He talks about the schools of thought in the US military about who and what to bomb that lead to these campaigns. It is extremely tragic that these citizen-heavy areas were absolutely pulverized. There's evidence that the US military used similar techniques in the Korean war.
I started using Vue back in 2015 and I agree. It's sort of a middle ground between React and Svelte with too many ways to do the same thing.

Imo the best use case for Vue is as a jQuery no build replacement. Preact is also another good option for this.
I was thinking today about programming as I'm onboarding at a new client right now and coming up to speed with their product/codebase.

Programming is so little about typing code, at least if done right. It is really about making decisions: product/api design choices, system architecture choices, code organization and patterns, etc.

The actual typing of code can be done by anyone who can follow clean examples and operate development tools. This arguably should get automated away someday.

IMO, the best way to monetize good development skills is to float between product and tech lead -- not actually writing much code.
The intention of the user is to give them encrypted blobs of credentials that are useless to them. Those blobs are only decrypted locally. That distinguishes password managers from traditional SSO solutions where credentials are sent to a centralized system that grants authorization.
Privacy Sandbox on Android
Hehe it didn’t occur to me to click the 1/5. Only the “1” is linked, it’s a pretty small target on my iPad, and it moves backward instead of forward… a little surprising. The 1/5 was enough clue to make me try scrolling sideways, after trying vertical, so it took a sec.
when I do my OS has no trouble opening them in my image or text viewer. The issue is when I download something that should be executable, and I have to paintaskingly open a terminal, and

cd ~/Téléchargements; chmod +x <try to remember the first letter><hit tab 15 times><miss it><go check inside the firefox download manager><restart><end up typing the whole name>

before being able to run it.
I am more concerned with the long term social and political implications of giving a small number of corporations elevated privileges (or the ability to obtain them easily) on everything in the world.

If the NSA asked for escrow or root everywhere people would freak out, yet central SSO mostly accomplishes the same thing and people are running toward it because convenience. Of course the same is true for surveillance. Private adtech does things with surveillance that would give people a heart attack if the NSA did it, and unlike the NSA they don't even pretend to be accountable to anyone we can elect.

(It's the same because governments can compel corporations under their jurisdiction and there isn't a ton a company can do about it.)

While some may find this debatable, I happen to think we just had a rather incompetent but still very concerning fascist coup attempt in the USA. Historically civilizations lose their collective minds periodically. Given that computing infrastructure is becoming the basis for virtually all communication and much of life, is it wise to centralize access control like this?

I feel like younger people of virtually all political stripes are just blithely unconcerned with this and assume "it can't happen here" or "that's something that happened back in the early 20th century but not anymore, we have totally solved stable government." I think that's incredibly naive.
Poisoned pipelines: Security researcher explores attack methods in CI
I do.

I have on most occasions throughout the pandemic, except last summer right after the second jab when I thought everything was finally over (and even then continued to wear them in crowded places).

IIRC I only forgot 2 or 3 times even for solitary walks, and some of those were 5 hours long.

To my ongoing confusion, me talking here about my intention to continue wearing masks beyond the point of it being needed resulted in someone going to my blog and posting a few abusive messages on an unrelated entry: https://kitsunesoftware.wordpress.com/2021/06/14/why-do-some...

Ties though, I really don’t like wearing ties.
It’s not about who you voted for. It’s about prefiltering dates so you don’t have to argue about broadcasting preferred pronouns, what the term “woman” means, listen to her introduce herself as a “strong independent woman” who “doesn’t need a man”, argue over who is going to remove the fallen tree from the yard, who changes the oil, whether NPR will be playing in the background all day, etc.

This is not new. There are dating sites for Christians, Jews, etc. The whole purpose of them is to attract a set of people who can assume a broadly similar background and set of morals. It saves a lot of time, especially if a majority of the people you match with are “keeping it casual”.
The EV UI was sunset in all browsers because as it turns out, ensuring that your address bar says 'wellsfargo.com' and that you didn't get MITM'd is plenty good enough due to the other protections.
Seems like they just slowed the BPM, or am I missing something? The key sounded about the same to my untrained ear.
I think the "take the emotion out" part really resonates. The idea of avoiding people who artificially "raise the stakes" is pretty interesting too, it seems like you have a sound process for this.

It sounds like you might enjoy comedy theory as this is where I learned majority of what you're talking about. Specifically improv comedy.
I can see this being a good use case for some enterprises. For a more personal solution not using the latest and greatest from Google, I have been playing around with a FOSS implementation of Android for any PC/tablet called https://blissos.org/. So far it works well on my hardware.
What are "[email protected]$$ snapshots" mentioned in the article? It seems like their CMS is automatically redacting something that resembles email address.
Good idea for a browser extension... use a different color for those links
This explains why the ear "likes" simple fractions, because then the harmonics in the notes will be overlapping more.
Very reasonable. I had forgotten to consider that this parallelism was smoke and mirrors from the ground up.

This is an excellent comment and very helpful. Thank you.
> and more recently display that instead of the raw url

Technically, punicode is the raw URL and old enough browsers will display all non-ASCII domains as punycode. It was only for a short while that browsers naively decoded punicode without restrictions.
yes that's exactly the kind of problem :)
"This has got to be some of the worst jargon and notation for anything, ever."

My point of view of music theory is: sound is objective. music is subjective. where the two meet is music theory.
Since krypto.co use case of SSH key handling fell to the wayside, I recently switched my keys over to Secretive[0], which stores keys in your Mac’s Secure Enclave or YubiKey and the case of the former, uses Touch ID to authorize use of your key.

It’s very simple and works very well. Better than krypt.co did for me, actually — krypt.co would occasionally randomly break, but Secretive has been rock solid. Every time something tries to use your key you get a Touch ID prompt and a notification indicating what triggered it.

This 1Password feature looks nice, but I’m switching away when version 7 stops working. AgileBits just isn’t taking 1Password in a direction that’s appealing for me… they’re clearly more interested in corporate users than individuals, and in the pursuit of a one-size-fits-all-platforms UI they’re losing the attention to detail and polish that used to be a major selling point.

Those uis also have little clickable arrows to the left and right of the image, at least on reddit. That is the kind of hint op wants.
I literally had no idea there was more content until I read your comment. Scrolled a bit up and down, thought that was it and left.
Not really. Do you think the ssh client machine is easier to secure than the ssh server? (It isn't.)

Are you from the industry? I am, with forty years of experience under my belt. Believe me, there is no correlation between success and formal musical education.

Suggest going with Svelte. It’s been great.
Extremely cool project and execution but it (hardly) runs on my MBP M1 Pro, 16 GB with FF and a 350mbit/s up-down connection and no other tabs open. Actions (clicking, dragging scrolling) takes a full two seconds to happen...
Would have loved to play around with it!
Without the pro version it's not reliable:

We use Sidekiq Pro at work but I find it unfortunate that reliability is a pro feature. It's really hard to tell a product owner: Yeah, we might lose a few jobs once in a while.

What makes you think that? How do you know they are reading Facebook and not reading the papers? From what I've seen on HN, people commenting contrarian studies have actually read them.
Did we ever need a save symbol?

I’ve used computers with GUIs for 30 years, and I can’t remember seeing it on many applications at all apart from pre-ribbon Microsoft Office. And now that the trend goes towards everything you do being implicitly saved when you do it, the need for a button with an icon is even smaller.
This is not true (though was an issue around Electron 1.0)
> The '1/5' made me think there might be more, but I guessed I was misunderstanding somehow.

Same here, I eventually realised I could click on the "5" to advance pages. I didn't even discover the scrolling/dragging behaviour until reading the comments.
We're clearly on the precipice of something.

I'd say 75% of the adverts I see on FB are for crypto products. It feels a lot like the web bubble.
It's risky to have biological males in women's prisons, which is why we have separate prisons for males and females.

Similar experience

The good news is there is nearly unlimited demand for programming work. However, you have to filter it very carefully, learn how to market yourself and become very selective and specific about what you want to do.

Pick a very specific niche which is specifically designed to be highly profitable, low custom work and doesn’t involve whole cloth creative agency work (trust me; you don’t want it).

Strongly recommend finding a simple, repeatable system or workflow that allows you to constantly come into contact (in a valuable, engaging way) with your target audience (people who are going to pay you to do stuff).

This can be a podcast, community, dinner series, workshop, roadshow, summit you organize. The objective is to make it valuable for you to be constantly reaching out and getting in touch about something OTHER than selling that person your services.

I also recommend designing or developing your own IP. Create your own stack or best practices, turn that into a brand and go promote it. Try to only get work applying that exact stack. You don't want a disconnected stream of random work with no narrative. You want to anchor your consulting work or business in some fixed constraints so it becomes repeatable.

Furthermore, you should be very specific about what work you want. You probably don't want to be doing end-to-end full stack "from zero" development. You would be better off applying some repeating system, taking over maintainance of running systems or selling your own IP.

Find a community or start one where your target market hangs out and make yourself useful, visible and valuable. Learn how to select clients and stack retainer revenues. Quality over quantity.
Speaking of UX; what is up with the black bar at the top of HN?
It's a gantry type 3 axis CNC with what amounts to a stupendously high-pressure pressure washer attached to it. The cutting head has a hopper that feeds a dry cutting abrasive in fine granular form (sand like or finer) into the water jet. The extreme pressure accelerates the water and abrasive to high impact velocity which cleanly cuts many materials including ceramics, glasses and very hard metals. A nice bonus is there is little heat input so you wont get warping or worry about annealing hard metals. Just under the cutting bed is a bath of water the jet terminates into. They do generate a little water mist during punch through but surprisingly is pretty dry around the machine. They make really nice clean cuts but require a lot of upkeep and the abrasive is a consumable you have to keep buying.

Ive seen one operating next to a plasma cutter (same CNC setup) in a fab shop and it was a night and day comparison. The plasma cutter was shooting sparks and embers everywhere while belching noxious smoke and the machine was filthy and covered in soot. Its more akin to welding. The benefit is they have less upkeep and consumables. Though plasma can not handle the variety of materials a water jet can.
> At that point, it’ll be time to show empathy to the biggest fiat bag holders.

Do you mean the majority of the world’s population? The goal is make everyone except crypto-hodlers into fiat bag holders?

I would at least have expected that I can swipe left and right to move between images, but on desktop Chrome (Mac), doing the standard "two finger swipe" just goes back and forth in the browser history.

You have to "push down" on the touchpad with a single finger to drag the images. It's utterly confusing. Hardwiring a webpage to "mobile phone expectations" is just as bad as expecting that there's a keyboard and mouse attached.

(I also tried the left/right arrow keys, but that didn't work either. What does work is clicking on the 1/5 numbers, but there's no indication that those are clickable links)

Two clickable arrows on the left and right edge would do wonder, or just go with vanilla HTML and don't create such a weird contraption :)
I'm quite excited about this as a potential way to avoid the problems that once a key is added to an agent any process can then use it. It looks like this prompts for permission for each process that wants to use the key, but then doesn't prompt again.[1] I've tried using various tools for this but they've always been too clunky. YubiKeys work well with their requirement to be physically touched, except you continuously have to press them when using git commands (multiple times if fetching many remotes).

I haven't been able to see anything about how this handles agent forwarding over SSH. Does anyone know?

Memory is a precious resource. Every additional Electron app that’s running increases the likelihood that your system will have to swap, and then it will feel like a a turtle in a tarpit. Also, there’s some concern that continuous swapping prematurely ages SSDs, reducing the overall lifetime of laptops. The modern trend is to solder storage chips directly to the main board, making them difficult to replace.
> Nobody is going to pay more money for a program than they're going to make from having that program.

Maybe not intentionally. Unintentionally, though, it happens all the time!

Like I've worked on several games for small companies that failed to find an audience and didn't sell well upon release, as well as large new initiatives for large corporations that either never fully materialized or were made to sell with a couple of clients in mind that never ended up signing the contract so those projects ended up getting discarded after the corporation had me put several months of work into them.

Thankfully I've also worked on programs that have had a lot of impact as well.
