You're in the minority, is the thing. Most computer users don't use multiple platforms on a regular basis. That's something that's really only common among some very specific niches, like web developers. Consistency across platforms is a bad thing for most users who want all the software on the one platform they choose use to behave consistently.

I'll also point out that the Mac had the same copy and paste keyboard shortcuts before Windows and Linux existed, so if any platform should be criticized for not matching, it'd be the one(s) that copied the shortcuts but added their own changes.

I don't use a Mac because everything about its UI is exactly the same as Windows and Linux, it's precisely the opposite. I use it because it's different (and IMO, better for me).

(And calling the window controls placement on macOS "wrong" is a bit rich. The platform that basically created the GUI can't be "wrong" about something so subjective as which side of the window those controls belong on.)

UK studies show IFR for COVID for those vaccinated/immunized is now lower than seasonal flu [1]. We never wore masks during the flu and I am not sure why anyone would advocate this continuing. Moreover if someone wants to wear a mask, nothing stops them from doing that, but don't force it on everyone ages 2 and up.

>"In most cases that I’ve seen, it’s not React that’s difficult to ramp up on, it’s the overly complicated codebase."

Well the developers you want to hire would know zilch about that codebase so you have to train them anyways. And after you do they will not leave because for greener pasture with that new knowledge since nobody else is using that codebase internally.
We can always just bring in more immigrants since that seems to be the solution to every problem like this. /s
Its a common assumption made by layman that the existence of a weapon that can kill a system means its now obsolete. That is incorrect.

Systems do not become obsolete because they can be killed. They become obsolete when they no longer serve utility. Either something else does the job better, more efficiently or effectively or the nature of war has changed to the degree that its now irrelevant.

This mistake is most often made with Tanks and Carriers for some reason. The existence of Javelin ATGMs does not mean tanks are obsolete. And the existence of hypersonic AshMs does not make carriers obsolete. Those weapons do not replace the functionality of tanks and carriers.

Its like the common pop history myth that machineguns made horse cavalry obsolete in the first world war. It did not. Cavalry lasted through the war. Their tactics definitely had to change and adapt. And they were certainly used far more sparingly due to their low survivability but offensive cavalry weren't rendered obsolete until tanks came around. And horses in general weren't obsolete until armies became fully mechanized and replaced them with trucks. Some armies didn't manage that until after WW2.

Likewise the Battleship was not obsoleted because carrier aircraft could kill it easily. It was obsoleted because carrier aircraft and later smart weapons meant combat now happened over the horizon and those big guns weren't contributing to fleet actions anymore

Its been possible to kill a tank since literally the first battle they were employed. Ballsy German artillerymen learned that British tanks were not immune to a direct hit from a field gun fired over open sights. And Carriers have always been vulnerable to antiship weapons. Be it torpedoes from a sub, dumb bombs from an aircraft or fancy high tech missiles today.

The claim wasn't that "raising by 25 bps" should be interpreted the same as "raising by .25%", it was:

> 25 bps means 0.25%.

In a sense, that is technically correct: it does refer to .25% -- not of the current value but of the 100% value.
Agreed. It seems naive to think "of course that wouldn't actually happen" without any real evidence except your own incredulity. Why shouldn't they harass people in small ways? It's cheap, annoying, and minor enough that most people will just brush it all off as coincidences. You obtain your goal of punishing those who got on your wrong side, without having to worry about attracting too much attention.

> Anonymous discovered that HBGary was conspiring with a law/lobbying firm known as Hunton and Williams to launch a highly sophisticated campaign to subvert and sabotage the enemies of their clients. In some cases these plans involved illegal actions. The targets were journalists, labor unions, and political opponents.

> One client was Bank of America, who hired Hunton and Williams to launch a campaign against Wikileaks. At some point the list of targets was expanded to various other supporters of Wikileaks such as journalist Glenn Greenwald. The other client so far revealed was the Chamber of Commerce, which wished to target labor unions and a shockingly long list of their supporters.

> The main tool of attack would be the use of the Palantir technology to analyze the network of support for the targets.

The House Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities never properly followed up on that incident. In 2011 it asked the DoD and NSA to provide any contracts with HBGary, Palantir and Berico, but as far as I can tell that never ended up happening, the whole thing was just buried over time and forgotten.
What's the advantage of smaller containers?

You should optimise for performance and security. For example python's base image is slower, than a container built on ubuntu for python apps. This is shown by several tests. Pythons base image is built on Alpine, which has shown to also have longer build times, and obscure bugs.

So a smaller container image is not always better. Instead optimise for performance and security.

> retirees bring nothing of real value to the economy.

Sure they may not be producing anything, but is there any value to the idea they consumers still? A lot of FIRE philosophy is you work hard so you can earn retirement early too -- people aren't going to work all their lives either, there has to be a light at the end of the tunnel. It is saddening that it may not be the case for many.
Because if you basically just rename variables and some other lazy obfuscations, it's still a copyright violation. This isn't about efficiency. It's about using a process that's relatively resistant to legal challenge.
Same with Ernest Hemingway, remembered for his paranoia later in life, specifically about the US government watching him. Going to doctors for this, to no avail.

Turns out the FBI was following him, as detailed in recently classified documents (2010s).

My synopsis is that they enabled his predisposition for depression and paranoia. But the initial observation of being watched by the government was not inaccurate.

That's a bit callous of you, not to mention shortsighted. If the Baby Boomer generation loses financial security, they will as a group A) tighten their spending habits and B) not retire.

Either of these effects on their own would hurt the younger generations, and together would make the already slow wealth building hit a brick wall. (I'm 25, for the record, and I don't expect to be debt-free or a homeowner until well into middle age)

While it really shouldn't be true, and at the level of financial mechanics probably isn't, the stock market has become the measure of the economy. Remember, pensions are dead and buried, and the nuclear family standard means that relying on your children (read: you and I) is not the bulwark it once was. That means 401(k) performance is really, really important, as terrible as that may be -- its just the reality right now.
Phrased sarcastically again, but from the opposite point of view: “Jerome Powell wants your grandma to starve!”
There's no evidence at all for this.

The exotic mortgage products (e.g. reverse ARMs) have essentially disappeared, people's homes are well capitalized, lending standards are much higher than they were, there's very low levels of home equity debt, overall debt payments as a percent of household income are at very low levels.

The people waiting for a housing crash are going to wait a long time. This one chart sums it up well:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MDSP

Mortgage debt service payments as a percent of disposable income are near all-time lows and at roughly 1/2 the number of the GFC peak. Since the vast majority of home loans are fixed -- what's the mechanism for rate hikes to cause a housing crash?
Did a quick search and didn't find it. All I remember is it was written up in a rather major publication some years ago talking about the fall of Stasi.

While trying to find my source, I did find out Putin was in East Germany when the wall fell, and was working for KGB. Along with Stasi, Putin burned so much evidence of their wrongdoing, it broke the furnace.

So I guess Putin was a questionable fellow even back in the 1980's and 1990's!

From this chart(https://inflationdata.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2021/1...) we can see that in inflation adjusted terms, housing was much more affordable prior to about 2001(give or take). I think generally speaking, housing changes hands now much more often than it did before the internet, and there is much more investment/speculation going on as well, which drives a lot of the additional cost nowadays.
Probably not. Estate taxes are low
Still, acknowledging Covid as a real problem would have let him drive the density difference even more. It's harder to blame democratic leaders as inept if you are downplaying the seriousness of the underlying problem. Also by June 2020 it was quite apparent that the problem was not going to be isolated to nursing homes etc, even if the absolute numbers weren't bad everywhere.
There is a lot of idiots out there who expects you to work for them and help them fix their issues just because you made your code public for those who find it useful. Just look at some of the answers, even here on HN.

One should be happy for the work that people do make available for others. If you're not paying for it and it's run by people who just want to make something cool then you should be prepared to contribute if you want someone to go out of their way to help you.

You don't have to contribute financially or by writing/fixing code. If you need help with a bug, make sure you write good bug reports, and be patient.

Also, if you don't want spam, just turn off notifications for non important things and limit the communication channels to something you'll be able to control. That's the beauty of digital communication: you control exactly how and when people can get in touch with you.
They need to slowly hike interest rate by 25 bps every week for the next 8 months to match inflation.
What a horrific ageist and bigoted comment.

This literally could mean the difference between living independently or not for a lot of people.

But see that's the thing. Every actual verified Ukrainian I've seen weigh in has said they don't really care. That's not to say that a sample size of several people can represent an entire nation.

I think they all have bigger fish to fry at the moment.
I don't follow your argument, the feds interest rate consistently increased from the end of 2017 until Covid hit. When Powell started it was at 1.4% and got up to 2.4% in July 2019, more than one year after he took office.

> This is how you wind up spending many, many $ remediating a building

Oh yes, and this isn't a new phenomenon, for instance:

"When Cambridge's physicists moved out of the famous Cavendish laboratories
in the mid-1970s, they unintentionally left behind a dangerous legacy: a
building thoroughly contaminated with mercury. Concern about rising levels
of mercury vapour in the air in recent months led university officials to
take urine samples from 43 of the social scientists who now have offices
in the old Cavendish. The results, announced last week, show that some people
have exposure levels comparable to people who work with mercury in industry."[0]

I agree, but I think the size of public/private debt is a guarantee that rates will stay historically low for the foreseeable future.

It’s only a bomb if rates go up.
That debt was already sold at low rates. Now it's going to get inflated away. New debt will be more expensive, old debt will be losing effectively 10% of its value as the price of everything else goes up.
Interesting point. We partially originally had software licensing in the IBM System/360 days because IBM was skeptical about how useful software patents were as a means of IP protection.

Hi, I’m Russian. Who does Putin think he is compared to Ukrainian game devs?
This is such a helpful post, but it also doesn't factor in the cost of R&D to make a new or unusual product. For example, I spent years figuring out how to make a specific kind of porcelain planter for succulents that would be self watering. Nothing else exists like it on the market, and customers like it but there's a ceiling to how high I can price. Now I have a lot of sunk costs that I'll probably never recoup on sales. Also selling isn't trivial in terms of cost - figuring out packaging and shipping loss rate can be a double digit portion of sales for fragile handmade goods.

Of course this is on me as a designer and maker - it's a labor of love - but it keeps my work from becoming a serious business that I might try to go out and count on for income.

> do that with a hard good and slap a ford mustang badge you reimplemented independently onto it you get sued?

Ah, now we're getting into a completely different forms of IP protection.

The Ford Mustang badge is a protected trademark, so you're not allowed to use it without their permission.

The car itself might also contain patented technical or design elements that you may not be allowed to duplicate without a license.

Broadly there's four classes of IP protection out there: copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets. This discussion vis a vis reverse engineering is primarily centered around copyright protections.

It is entirely understandable that Tesla would wing it without lidar. Once one gets over the assumption that their priority is creating a level 5 system.

What Tesla cares about is selling expensive vaporware. If this vaporware depended on an expensive prop, this would cut into cash flow they want to spend on software dev. They've repeatedly said "we can do it without lidar". What they meant is "we cannot afford lidar in our situation." It doesn't look like it's going to work, but it also doesn't look like adding lidar solves the basic issues. So in the end at least they didn't con people into buying useless lidar. Just useless vaporware.

From Russell and Norvig, a famous story about difficulty in publishing with probably the first such AI-generated work:

"Two researchers from Carnegie Tech, Allen Newell and Herbert Simon, rather stole the show [at the original Dartmouth AI Conference]. Although the others had ideas and in some cases programs for particular applications such as checkers, Newell and Simon already had a reasoning program, the Logic Theorist (LT).... Soon after the workshop, the program was able to prove most of the theorems in Chapter 2 of Russell and Whitehead's Principia Mathematica. Russell was reportedly delighted when Simon showed him that the program had come up with a proof for one theorem that was shorter than the one in Principia. The editors for the Journal of Symbolic Logic were less impressed: they rejected a paper coauthored by Newell, Simon, and Logic Theorist."

> So a smaller container image is not always better.

No one said it is _always_ better. Obviously you can make a smaller but worse image.

Making the image smaller, without affecting its performance or security, can reduce costs (storage + network) and can make deployments much faster (and so improve reliability, and Developer Experience).
