Freshmeat and Slashdot were the sites then to predict stock prices; by the news that appeared, you could simply know the stocks would go up; anything with ‘Linux’ made companies skyrocket or crash. I was in NL so I got up, read the news, placed my orders based on the news, which was simply filtering the word Linux and see which companies were positively or negatively named, and that was it. I remember that VA and Borland/Inprise were just one big party. It was just printing money. This was why I cannot just hold stocks like investors say I should; trading made me a lot then as I was 100% it was going to crash. I am sure of this now again. But now I don’t have slashdot to predict both the up and down movements like clockwork.

I wonder how they implement fast loading times. Flight simulator is embarrassingly slow to load and takes 2-3 minutes on my reasonable fast machine. I guess they have fully loaded game instances on standby and then sign you in once you connect using the mentioned new cloud gaming API?
Right, it's not acceptable at all. I think it was called out and they said it would be fixed. Not sure what the state of that is now.

Ordinarily I wouldn't assume that is more than a careless mistake, but with the deliberate and pervasive downplaying of the relationship to original works it's not a very good look.

A populous overthrow is not a democratic election.. the group capable of organizing the largest protests and riots is not necessarily the group with the most popular support. It could be a minority faction, but just the best organized, trained and funded one.

We hold elections to put every one on an equal playing field, where each person has the same amount of say.
I think it's a combination of things.

- Showroom effect. You want to put your best foot forward when a consumer is only dipping in for a moment. Louder grabs attention harder.

- Crappy consumer stereo equipment. Low sensitivity, poor linearity, disposable earbuds and android phone speakers are the default. There's no room for nuance on those systems.
HN can auto-label all our posts by default as personal opinions but if they can detect I am a MS/Apple/ employee they can auto-label me with that, if I am part of some group they can label me with "member of this group". Transparency if fine with me.

Like for food, label what is inside, if you want the "media" label you should be an actual journalist and follow the laws and the media code of conduct, otherwise we can give you a different label more appropriate.
> Not a bubble because for the most part people are buying homes that they can pay the mortgage on.

I think you're right that this won't be an exact repeat of 2010 — that era was just crazy for anyone who understands financial responsibility, more like a precursor to the cryptocurrency number-goes-up salesbros now than the current market — but there are some worrying factors I'd consider before buying. I don't think most of these are national in impact but I'd expect some big regional shifts which could be quite hard to handle for some cities, especially if they haven't been doing a good job on their finances already.

1. A lot of those high prices are anchored on demand in certain areas. If younger generations are successful in getting zoning rules changed to allow density, that can add a lot of competition and there are many hopeful buyers who would prefer, say, a new apartment/condo in a city with many things to do to an older (higher maintenance) house in the suburbs. I think this one is long-term enough that most buyers will be bailed out by inflation but it could at the least prove a major upset for the people who are skimping on things like retirement in the hopes that they'll get a massive equity boom like their parents did.

2. Remote work is here to stay — not 100% but enough to cause shifts in buying habits.

3. Most American home buying is predicated on cheap fossil fuels. If that inflation spike eventually leads to higher pay, this helps on mortgages but in the meantime it puts a lot of strain on anyone who can't just soak up their commute and heating costing a whole multiple of what they previously did. Expect a bunch of SUVs on the used market if the current spike lasts for very long, just like in 2010. That cuts down the number of buyers sharply for outer suburbs.

4. Climate change isn't going away: again, not a national bubble but there are areas (e.g. South Florida) with a lot very pricey real-estate which seems unlikely to be able to maintain that value. That includes things like flood insurance, coastal erosion, etc.

5. The classic suburban model isn't really sustainable: the initial work by developers and tax rates set when maintenance is the cheapest are going to require hefty rate increases as infrastructure ages or needs to be adapted for climate change, but the more people are paying for their houses the more they're going to oppose things like property tax increases or be unable to pay them.
> Independent polling shows that the majority of people in Russia support the war, including the majority of the highly educated.

Is there any independent polling in Russia? Is it even possible?

I am under the impression the penalties for being against the war are severe and getting worse, to the point that even having messages on your phone about it could get you into trouble if stopped and searched by Moscow police.

Who in their right mind would answer a poll question honestly in Russia now?

There is also the question of whether Russians even know there's a war where Russia is the aggressor against a democratic state, and attacking civilians. There are by now many reports of people in Russia who simply don't believe that's what's happening - instead they think there is no war, that it's a lie propagated by Western aggressors against Russia, and that Russian soldiers are in Ukraine to liberate the people.

If I were in Russia and asked my view, and highly educated for real on the actual circumstances, I'd answer that I was pro special military operation (what war?) because there's a chance the person asking is special police and I might end up in prison - or provoke an investigation which gets my friends into prison - if I say anything else.
> Freedom of speech is not freedom of inciting violence and hatred.

Zelensky lied about a Russian shell hitting a nuclear plant and called for retaliation, which is exactly inciting violence. There's a lot of misinformation spread by both sides (Russia and the West) but silencing any of them would be stupid and unfair.
I am homeless from a genetically induced disability and live in a 2001 Minivan that gets 25MPG. What do I do?
100% agreed. I think when it comes to performance, the biggest takeaway from Casey/Jonathan is to just have the computer do less work. If you can get away with just poking at a big buffer then that's what you should do. It keeps the code both simple and efficient, no need for 30 layers of abstractions.

But beyond that, IMO, it's fine to use higher-level constructs and target higher-level "platforms" (i.e. electron) to improve portability, developer productivity, etc. Even within that setting you can avoid doing things that pessimize your performance, and that's often enough for a massive improvement.

Dogma is the bane of software-development, be it abstraction at all cost, immutability at all cost, or performance at all cost, etc.
"1 bike stolen every 4 minutes" is an understatement; for Denmark alone 2020 had 40,000 reported thefts which is one every 13 minutes, down from a staggering 115,000 in 1995 (one every 4.5 minutes).

The Frog of War
Also, the nuclear winter scenario derives from weapons detonated at ground-level which has the effect of blasting tons of dirt into the atmosphere and blocking sunlight. Most of the weapons in the world's nuclear arsenal are aerial burst. Such weapons maximize the physical damage via heat and wind while minimizing the amount of dirt kicked into the atmosphere.

If you live in a tornado-prone area then you already know how to prepare for an aerial burst deployment. Go to where you would go for a tornado and shelter in place for 48 hours after the burst. If you survived the burst (note that folks who properly prepare for tornadoes die too) and you've sheltered in place for a couple of days afterward then you're likely to be fine. Sure, there's a greater chance you'll be dying at a younger age than you otherwise would have due to cancer, but those are probabilities. If you survive the burst then you'll likely be fine.
What is a 1-bit DAC and how does it work?
I have a truck that I got for cheap (under $4k) and never used as my main commuter car back when I was still commuting, but there are some very practical differences between a truck and a Tesla that most people wouldn't want to give up. Mostly in the form of cargo capacity and towing capacity. As stuff like the cybertruck and f-150 lightning trickle down into the used truck market they'll get more affordable to the average Joe, but for now it's out of reach for a lot of people. I do agree with you though that the people out there blowing $40k+ on a vanity truck could definitely go with an electric (or a much cheaper normal pickup)

What kind of weak-ass restaurant hygiene laws do you have there?
They are somewhat right, but for the wrong reasons.

If energy prices were at all responsible it is that in late 2008 when the central bank had its planning meeting, they were looking at Core Inflation. In that meeting they decided to raise rates because they thought inflation was a little high. This was because of high energy prices in their core inflation metrics.

You can actually go back and read the minutes of those meetings. As Scott Sumner writes:

> And many forget that the United States was not zero bound during the great NGDP collapse of June to December 2008; indeed, interest rates fell to near-zero levels only in mid-December. Consider the Fed meeting of 16 September 2008 two days after Lehman Brothers failed. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted to hold rates at 2%, citing an equal risk of recession and inflation. The risk of recession is obvious; we had already been in recession for nine months. But why the perceived risk of high inflation? By the day of the meeting, five-year TIPS spreads had fallen to only 1.23%, far below the Fed’s 2% target. In fact, the real risk was excessively low inflation, not high inflation. The Fed should have cut rates dramatically. Why was the Fed decision-making so misguided? It adopted a ‘backward-looking’ policy, focusing on the relatively high inflation of the previous 12 months (mostly due to high oil prices that were already plunging by the time the Fed met). It was like trying to steer a car while looking only in the rear-view mirror. A forward-looking policy would have allowed the Fed to be far more aggressive.

There would maybe still have been a small recession and a housing bubble in some states, but the real failure was to not react to the liquidity demand and in 2009 there was a deflation. This is the real cause for the majority of what we now call Great Recession.
I wish you had read my original comment, where, let me repeat it a second time for you, I state that the author writes about how to approximate a 'function in the laymen sense of the word'. And that's what he does. Nowhere does he bring hype into it; no one reading about how to approximate a simple y=f(x) will misread this. My guess is that you read the website like you read my comment, if at all, otherwise we wouldn't be having this ridiculous conversation. renewiltord's comment is spot on and much better phrased than I could have done it.
Some of this was pretty explicit and pretty well documented. In the late nineties, Microsoft strategically encouraged piracy in many developing countries, to develop lock-in. This wasn't just comfort; once a country has infrastructure built around Windows, from scripts, to data formats, to workforce skills, to everything else, it's almost impossible to switch off. At the time, the plan was to crack down once countries developed a little bit and could afford to pay.

Indeed, many years later, Microsoft then cracked down on piracy when countries reached middle income. I'm not familiar with Microsoft to know if that was intentional follow-though on the original strategy, or coincidental. By the time the crackdown happened, Microsoft was a very different (and much less strategic) company with different people. In either case, they came out way ahead for it.
Right, go is just not designed for this kind of functional style, and it will always require a lot of boilerplate and fighting the language to try to write code like this.

I predict that production go code will continue to use for loops for this kind of thing, even once generics are widely established.
If this is really all that Russia wants then this is a really stupid war.

(3) Constitutions can be changed and there's no reason Ukraine can't abrogate the treaty in the future. They were never getting into NATO while in a shooting war with Russia any way.

I feel like EV market penetration would need to be pretty insane for a society to be less vulnerable to oil price spikes. For context the US is around 5% EV penetration currently. I don't think that number includes recreational vehicles like RVs, motor boats, motorcycles, ATVs, 4x4s, etc. (most with 0% EV penetration).

But then you have the aspect of electricity generation. Did you know that the US currently generates 4 times as much electricity from oil as most renewables only excluding nuclear (hydro, solar, wind).

Our society is steeped in oil, it's beyond cheap, and there's no indication it's ending any time soon.
I was watching Twitch developer stream where the young streamer was working with a new TUI library/service discussed earlier on HN[1]. I half jokingly asked a question if it worked with real hardware terminals, in particular a DEC VT420, and the developer didn't even know what that is.

Feels old, man.

Oh, and it turns out the service doesn't work well on my VT420, but I understand why that's not exactly a priority.

High gas prices certainly preceded the housing crises, but good luck convincing anyone it caused.

Very subjective opinion ahead- High gas prices is probably this single most effective way to curb greenhouse gases and I am shocked that Biden and his climate Czar aren’t embracing it. As it stands, even prices doubling or tripling, I would conjecture that a very significant portion of Americans can make significant changes to their driving patterns at the great expense of a mere “minor inconvenience”. Carpooling to work and school, taking mass transit where available, planning errands/trips for efficiency, driving the more economical car in the family unit when no one else is using it (I.e. drive the wife’s wagon on the weekends instead of the big truck). A LOT more people can be driving motorcycles/ scooters. Complaining about high gas cost is almost a form of conspicuous consumption.

At least around city, most people do not think twice about fuel cost of running errands all over town, they just complain about the bi-weekly fill up. For one example, some families schlep their kids all over the city every day for a very packed schedule of events; carpool more or just don’t design up for such an erratic day from the first place. Don’t sign up for that basketball league with a daily practice on the opposite side of town from school. Don’t take as many YOLO trips up to Lake Tahoe or Napa or whatever… or at least pile in with other people to reduce the number unit cost.

Until people begin to reorganize their livelihoods and consumption patterns, then gas prices aren’t really too high, it’s just more than we are used to spending, and I’m not at all convinced an extra $100/mo at the pump is really that big of an impact for majority of folks to behave differently. We just complain instead.

(Caveat- Low income workers have a different story, but I anecdotally also don’t not see an embrace of more efficient transport means amongst low income population in my city. Late model luxury vehicles and large suvs and trucks remain very popular in low income areas. Gas cost is simply not a significant enough portion of the equation as it stands)

Economist here.

For what it’s worth I cannot find evidence that this paper was ever published, so I think it’s safe to say they did not convince the rest of the profession that this was the (or even a) trigger.

I’m sure it’s being shared to suggest that high current gas prices will do the same now. I doubt anyone has any good reason to be confident in such a suggestion.
They are probably referring to then Senetor Joe Biden and his support for the 2005 Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act, which substantially broadened the set of student loans that could not be discharged in bankruptcy.

A bubble is a purely analytical judgment in hindsight. Will at some-point prices be lower then now. Probably yes? Maybe in 50 years? Maybe tomorrow?

Many people have many theory why something is a bubble or not. And what time frame prices have to go down to call yourself correct.

Anybody that claims to know is a charlatan. Many of those get proven right once in a while.
I've been using Screen Time this year so far and it's been working pretty well. For me Twitter, FB, and Reddit were the go to dopamine hits.

I have separate 5 min daily limits for Twitter and Facebook. And a 15 min daily limit for Reddit. Reddit is much easier to curate topics that I'm actually interested in, so I give myself a little more time there since the comments add to the conversation more commonly than the other platforms.

This helps make it feel like I'm "checking-in" and leaving it behind, rather than letting it consume my time. It also makes me think twice about logging in as a habit since my limit will be up without recollecting at all what I just scrolled through. I find myself more often thinking, "Am I going to pay attention to what I'm looking at now?". If not, I'll save the session for later when I have the attention to give.

Some more quotes from the article

"Reports published by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) have connected the Azov Battalion to war crimes such as mass looting, unlawful detention, and torture"

"British political scientist Richard Sakwa writes that Azov's founding member Andryi Biletsky, leader of the neo-Nazi Social-National Assembly (SNA) made statements about a "historic mission" to lead the "white races of the world in a final crusade for their survival ... a crusade against the Semite-led Untermenschen", an ideology he traces to the National Integralism of 1920s and 1930s.[96] Political scientist Ivan Katchanovski has compared the group's ideology to that of Patriot of Ukraine, saying: "The SNA/PU [Patriot of Ukraine] advocates a neo-Nazi ideology along with ultranationalism and racism. The same applies to ... members of the Azov battalion and many football ultras and others who serve in this formation."[97]

This is not "what happened here". It's your weird anti-Apple take on what happened.

I agree the web is still catching up to where Flash was for game. But games weren't the issue. It was all about video.
