I think most of these answers of market timing and emergency funds are missing the point. If this happens, we aren’t talking the normal recession. At the very least, we are talking stagflationary recession with all sorts of other geopolitical and economic complications. And at the worst, we are talking unfathomable chaos in the foundations of civilization including food shortages and starvation of the poorest in wealthy countries. It’s not just economic issues here, fertilizer supply has crashed and prices have skyrocketed.

Are you all going to eat your emergency fund? What good will that do if there are bread lines? How will timing the market or not, help your family make it through what could be a long stretch of rough times? And if there is a financial collapse, why are you so sure that there will even be a market left to recover? And if there is no financial system, why are you worried about paying your mortgage?

Interest rates can only be raised so high before the US can’t pay the interest on its debt and defaults, then what? And if they can’t raise interest rates beyond a certain point, how does inflation end? This is not just a “recession”, it’s an existential threat to world order.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's already done.
Yahoo had a revenue of $7.4bn in 2020 and Yahoo was many times smaller and less impactful than Facebook.

All for compensating OSS devs, and doing so automatically and implicitly via contributors and the packages they built on is a neat idea. But the blockchain. Ugh.

Going by the owner's blog, which is a bit more in-depth on his reasoning and less hyperbolic:

- Packages will be immutable (no more left-pad incidents)
Don't need blockchain for this. Just add a ToS that you can't pull packages from the centralized repo.
- Packages will always be available (we’ll use decentralized storage)
NPM availability hasn't been an issue, but could be. Blockchain still not needed for decentralization. Anyone who has to download the entire chain... yeesh, gonna be huge. Scaling issue greater than NPM or Github in my opinion.
- Releases will be signed by the maintainers themselves (rather than a middleman you are told you can trust)
Doesn't seem to be an issue with NPM? When this happens they usually hijack an account or the github. Some sort of token to sign with can also be grabbed, especially shared between maintainers or (inevitably, because no one actually enjoys decentralization) just becomes an automated feature of Github etc. Even then this issue is solvable with NPM, don't need a blockchain to sign releases.
- Tools can be built to fundamentally verify the integrity of your app’s open source constitution
Don't need a blockchain. I've thought of building these myself for NPM, maybe something to check VCS release tag hash vs package.
- Token can flow through the graph
(this is re: financing devs) Don't need a blockchain for this, though my inner dev likes the automation.
Component failure due to thermal issues (in this case, not knowing the protocols or facilities for controlling the custom cooling features) don’t typically manifest overnight. My point is “novices beware” —but writing that would challenge some students into this fool’s errand that ends with the demise of their Mac.

Did anybody listen to the live webinar they had at 8am PDT today (03/23)? I missed it and am wondering how it went.
It's difficult to determine who is at the top, like in the UK. Who are the principle people who control PM Johnson? There's the royal family, but without resources of the secret service it's impossible to know who he's taking direction from. There are occasional glimpses: connection of Russian money to Brexit, delay of the Russia Report, delay of sanctions against oligarchs showing them to handle their finances before sanctions take effect, etc., but that's one small block, I suspect. Clearly there's heavy interplay with media tycoons. But really it's all pretty opaque.
> lie

Can we do better than this? It is not welcome here, per the HN guidelines, and poisons everyone who sees it. It's also an accusation without evidence, and therefore meaningless in regard to the accused.
The majority of the covid money went to the Paycheck protection act and the terms where so opaque that the rich got a lot richer. The peanuts handed out in direct relief was and is a non-issue except that supply chains shut down because of lock downs and reduced demand. After lock downs the economy has rebounded so now we have many dollars looking for products but the supply chains can't keep up.
That is on purpose: The mission statement is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek as a nod to the complexity and difficult tradeoffs in anything security related.

Curiously, this was also my own experience!

I actually wrote a bit about the migration process, as well as the reasons for migrating over to Gitea, Nexus and Drone CI as opposed to using GitLab, GitLab Registry and GitLab CI: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/goodbye-gitlab-hello-gitea-...

With containers, it's actually a pretty good experience that's not too hard to setup or manage.
my take as an amateur that tries to follow this stuff .. the fed seems caught between inflation and QE. The fed has tried to raise rates in the past, and every time the market has gone down significantly. The fed has recently admitted that inflation is raging and out of control. raising rates seems to be the only tool in the box to combat inflation. so it's a catch-22.

Raise rates > No more cheap debt > market goes down

Inflation runs wild > recession > market goes down
That's a really fair assessment, even if I disagree with it, so I appreciate you replying.

Apologies for being a bit aggressive in my earlier reply, I was just struggling to figure out what else it could've been, given your original comment didn't give much in terms of "why", so I jumped to a strong (and, in retrospect, incorrect) assumption. I totally understand your issue with it now.

Imo it looks pretty clean and tasteful for its intended purpose, but this one is very subjective and a certain "we can agree to disagree" point, because I can easily see why it could feel too cluttered to some.
If a company didn't care about security or other "abstract cybersecurity concerns" and instead only cared about selling something to their users, why would they use something like blockchain which is entirely based on abstract technical and cybersecurity concepts instead of existing web technologies which are more efficient and easier to use?
I'm trying to get into open source development

That's your goal.

No project is obligated to help you meet it.

I mean you found and fixed some bugs.

Whether or not they get incorporated into the code base only makes a difference on your resume.

This requires several hours of work

If you're not into it, don't do it.

Expecting a reward is a friction point for a community of volunteers.

originates from a FAANG-level company

FAANG-level companies have business considerations that you cannot possibly be aware of because they are confidential and proprietary. They manage open source projects for their own benefit primarily and the benefit of others only incidentally.

Complete silence.

Move on to something else. Good luck.
And it's going to be the same with cryptocurrencies.

All the interesting stuff for normal people is built on top.
Another issue might be dependencies that are not in the system. Does someone else keep that money? Can someone else publish your work to this system and take the money?
Financial regulators have done their homework on the 2008 financial crash.

In many, many ways, Covid was a much worse economic disaster than the credit crunch. In the latter, it was "only" banks affected by bad credit (lots of it). In Covid, it was... everything. State and company revenues grinding to a halt. You'd expect financial markets going haywire, and yet they haven't.

The world is in an ugly place, but I don't think a significant financial crisis is coming. Much more likely, if anything, is some kind of prolonged stagnation as the world realigns itself to some kind of new Cold War, with global trade diminishing. Real interest rates may dwindle etc. There will no doubt be many personal strifes and tragedies, but no global meltdown.
Yes, far more than two cases. I specifically reference Opportunity. And sometimes the hardware continues working fine but there is no budget for secondary missions.
There is something to be said for leaving a platform if you do not like the direction it seems to be headed in, even if you could compensate for the issues in the short term. Otherwise you might sign up for years of incrementally increasing misery.

Once Windows installed updates against their users' preference I switched my main desktop to Linux – this was a significant amount of work but has saved me a lot of frustration over the past years. Similarly, once I experienced UI stutter in Gnome and noticed that it moved towards Javascript, I switched to i3. Again, huge setup cost (e.g. I had to implement alt-tab behaviour myself), but things ran smoothly since.
As a seated experience (in a spaceship, where my Star Trek fantasy training has taught my brain, oddly enough, that motion in space should involve no feeling the acceleration forces), it's really quite good. Night-and-day from the same experience mouse-and-keyboard or HOTAS.

The game itself, sadly, doesn't hold my attention for very long, but I think the VR UI is nearly ideal for it.
did you catch the webinar? I missed it and would love to hear details and/or notes
nice dodge. why not tackle head-on the brutal reality that even very-well-paid individuals can no longer afford to purchase a dwelling in the same city they work in? we're moving from a 99/1 economy to a 99.99/0.01 economy
Is there a book that builds up this knowledge?
This is false. Quantum computers are not programmed like telephone switch boards. They're programmed typically by sending signal pulses (of RF, DC, or light) of the right shape at the right time to physical elements and they react. It really is programming.

Moreover, it's remarkably easy to see that the machines—universal gate-based machines—are doing something quantum. What's not easy to see is if they'll ever break away from their scaling challenges and become useful, large scale machines.
You can't change the likelihood of the event, but you can change the likelihood of your survival.

New Zealand will probably not be hit in an exchange. It would be a safer place to live in event of nuclear war.
It's admittedly a small sample range, but if I'd taken this advice when I started buying houses around '09 (never more than 1 at a time, but I've moved just about every two years since then), I'd be at least $250,000 poorer. And I didn't come anywhere near optimizing for profit—it's mostly been happenstance and the fact that houses just keep going up in price, plus an initial bump from coming in right after the housing bubble burst (though house prices around here never got down to where they "should" have been if they'd tracked inflation since the start of the bubble, and only seemed cheap relative to the peak). I also started with one hell of a lot less capital than, say, a FAANG employee ought to be able to save in a couple years. Think, like, $25,000.

("But you could have invested that money instead and the market's gone crazy over that same time span, so maybe you actually lost money, opportunity-cost wise!" sure, but not really, since rent exceeds TCO for houses in my area so I'd have just bled money to that in exchange for no equity whatsoever and probably living somewhere worse)

If this is just a way to ensure donations go to the right place (maybe I do `tea donate` and it splits the donation between the packages I have installed) then that is quite interesting. But Max's blog post has stuff about staking tokens and getting rewarded. Its so poorly explained its almost impossible not to take it as a scam. More importantly, what are they going to have for the average brew user that brew does not have? How are they going to drive people away from brew and over to Tea?

Interested to here more, but not putting out any hope for this.
I really hope we will die a lot in this game...

In what way is it different than other hosted redis solutions? Also, the sizing suggests it's a single replica, IIRC most other hosted redis platform support clusters.
Why people choose to write CI pipelines in Yaml as a living (aka DevOps Engineer) I will never understand. Its horrible.
Homebrew is such a huge pile of crap: terrible migration paths, constantly removing things, no _easy_ way to pin versions.

I love Arch Linux, the issue I have with it is that you have to be aware of some very useful and little known configurations that can make your life easier or your performance better.

Example 1, Fedora ships with zram swap by default instead of allocating a separate swap partition. Basically it's compressed ram, good enough because when you start to swap your system is already on its knees, but orders of magnitude faster than reading from disk, and you don't need to allocate a separate partition.

Example 2, On Fedora when you format with / with btrfs, it'll enable a really fast zstd (level 1) compression on your volumes. It might save you a few gigabytes, it consumes a imperceptible amount of CPU time, and reduces the write amplification effects on SSDs and NVMe.

Fedora gives you these out of the box, while on Arch you have to be aware of them, and I bet you don't have any of these free wins enabled on your system.

I love Arch Linux, but Fedora is IMO a better desktop experience.
I think the other meaning of the quote is not to avoid planning or only live in the moment or that day but to just pick something and go for it. Do it well - be excellent. You can worry about what was and what will be but at the end of the day we are all masters of our own narrative journey.
It's definitely not. Last time I went there, even magic mushrooms had been made illegal, although apparently a loophole was found that allowed the sale of psychedelic truffles.

Even cannabis is illegal there, although it has been decriminalised for personal use, and its sale is tolerated under certain conditions.

oh, but I'd definitely use lisp ! If it had static types, easy simd support, complete Qt integration, value types and mandatory unboxed primitives, if it was possible to define non-trivial compile-time assertions and type checks (though maybe some LISP dialects can ? are there statically-typed lisps with the ability for arbitrary type computations ?), if normal programs with normal libraries in the LISP ecosystems could be entirely written without a GC, etc etc... and I'm sure I'm forgetting the other half of the absolute bare minimum of my requirements for the programming languages I use for my day-to-day tasks.

Saying that parsing an AST is on its own a justification for using LISP, is very much like saying that one should use smalltalk or erlang instead of $LANGUAGE every time they implement a message-passing system: at best worth of a shrug. There's a reason why all the projects listed here: https://github.com/celtera/avendish#future-directions are C++ :)
HRL Laboratories is very active in the field (if you happened to catch them at APS March Meeting) and hasn't been public since their founding in the 60s. It's one of the most respected private research laboratories of the United States. (It's currently jointly owned by Boeing and General Motors, but enjoys decision-making autonomy.)
Well, I hope they sort this out. K9 is my "Plan B" after my GAFYD/Google Workspace free subscription is terminated. Keep the email address, but necessarily off Google and off their native email client. Mostly because I still want push mail aka IMAP IDLE, which works (tested it) with my chosen replacement mail provider and K9.
2000 was the seeds of the dot com world, there was a massive new multi-trillion dollar global market opening.

1990 had none of that.

Maybe blockchains and NFTs are the 2020s version of the internet as far as greenfield goes. I'm not convinced, but then I've always been too cynical for my own good.
Did they really have much of a role to play for Half-Life or Homeworld? By that point they were just a publisher.
>The communication must actually be relevant to the legal representative, in their position as a legal representative.

The only way for an outside party to determine that is to see the contents of the communications. If an outside party can see the contents of your communications, they are not private.
the gut feelings of working professional recipe creators seems pretty valid to me. id take that over a scientific approach that lacked professional experience to provide context.
People don't realize it, but without positional tracking, even seated experiences feel very "off."

Consider where the joint is that moves your head. When you rotate your head, you're not rotating through an axis in the center of your head; you're pivoting a spline describing your neck. That's a very complicated motion and it can't be faked by just turning the view without moving the view also (and if you try to simulate it without full 6DOF tracking, you'll have to model the user's neck length and curvature profile, and that'll get very messy, with disorientation consequences when you get it wrong).
You won't know until you do the analysis but given Zoom and conference calls I suspect that the majority of these things happen remotely.
I'm excited to see a solid competitor to Heroku. While I trust Heroku due to using it for so long, they have become complacent with pricing and features. For example, affordable autoscaling looks awesome.
And whom pays for fixing it? Downtimes of self hosted systems using external software can be far longer. GitHub, unlike Amazon and friends, doesn't lie about their downtime. Every saas has hundreds of downtime instances across the board every month. Some are small enough you don't see them. Yet the services still work exceptionally well - and when they don't they get fixed in a quick manner. What takes them an hour would take most private orgs a day.
> This is a good thing. Combined with remote lock, it renders stolen devices useless.

I’ve heard a long, long time ago that the market for stolen devices had switched to stripping them for parts rather than selling them as working replacement devices. From that perspective, activation locks don’t help much. For thieves, even if some parts won’t work, any gain is better than nothing.
I grew up on those Sierra adventure games -- LucasArts too!

Would love to see these (and the Williams) come back in any form.
The only killer feature missing from Render is a distributing the same app across regions for minimal latency. Heroku only pitifully support 2 regions.

I want the choice for my app to be global on day one with no devops required. Just two clicks and it's available on multiple regions.

Yes, but marginally so. I enjoy picture-in-picture, no ads, have little use for downloads. I think I'll keep it, bit I'm not very set on it.
This was one of the biggest shocks for me. Other places you can pay a deposit (approx one month bill) in advance and they’ll cut you off if you go over it. No credit check required.
Prices will keep going up while there is more demand than supply, and the supply shortage is mostly political. I advise you and everyone else feeling locked out of the housing market to pressure your representatives to allow more housing to be built.
I do a regular 25 mile commute one way across London, train back myself.

One of my routes includes Hampstead and Highgate, a decent amount of climb. I tried the 3 speed hire Bromptons, but went for the 6 speed when I purchased one. The upgrade was well worth the money, I doubt I'd be able to get up those hills on the 3 speed.
This made me think of the old quote "When life gives you lemons..." which is (I think) supposed to be inspirational in that even when you get dealt a bad hand you should still keep going and make the best of it.

The thing is I freaking love lemons and use them in all kinds of shit - when life gives ME lemons it ends up being a very, very good day :-)

Remember that as they raise the rates, everything else will start changing as well. In particular mortgage rates will rise and home prices will fall as a result. The number of people refinancing is already dropping. That will in turn affect peoples spending and reduce inflation some. It's a complex system so changing one parameter will lead to changes in the others.

> That's less probable.

It happens a lot, even in modern times. It will probably take the form of companies like BP, Shell, Total, Exxon, etc receiving favorable terms on oil field leases from the new Russian government under the guise of "reconstruction". Rinse and repeat for other sectors.

You can look at what's happening in Libya for an example.
I am not in SF but follow a lot of people there. My intuition is a lot of them promote long hours. I also worked in a few startups in Poland and all of them promoted long hours.

Yes, of course. But did they show in the movie the failings or shortcomings of all the other trainees, what it was that they considered "impossible"? They were training hard and didn't understand why Po was picked over them. We, the audience, are also not told why.

- "Access to the Redis CLI"

Does that mean we can access to Redis CLI in web interface? I need a product like this and I signed up to create an instance, and I created a Redis instance but I couldn't find the redis cli on web interface. I would like to access to the Redis-cli, and I don't want it to be accessed by outside of my cluster. So If I connect with my local redis-cli, I have to turn on External connections, which will make the instance accessible by everyone.
