This is the correct answer.

Mortgages work differently in the fastest-rising areas of the US than most anywhere else, in that a borrower can have no equity or negative equity in the home… and just hand back the keys.

In the UK this involves a complex and lengthy bankruptcy proceeding. Honestly I think the US way is objectively better, but it massively changes the outcomes of how long someone will stay in a home that’s become a bad investment.

The article is also looking at the wrong numbers for rents. How much rents have risen is far less relevant than how many rent starts there are over mortgage starts. The first statistic tells you how much people are having to pay to live, the second tells you if there’s really a shortage of homes or not.

Some countries have implemented additional taxes on non-primary homes since the crash, but to my knowledge they’re not particularly punitive. I think this tax really is the solution (e.g. 5% value of the home in landlord tax per year).
Which is why I made the point on my comment about what the cross platform goals were, but the RIR folks are too quick to jump the gun in any kind of critic and only read half of it.
Which is exactly the point of the parent post - blaming joblessness on immigrants stealing jobs is the same as blaming foreign ownership for making property too expensive for the ordinary citizens to buy!

Both are incorrect in the same way, and incite an emotional response of hating some "other" for causing the problem at hand!
I could say "I'm not that old" but I guess that's subjective, since the article says this is archeology.

I think it's been said elsewhere, but those entry level SGI boxes were around $25,000 in the mid 90s (and oh boy did I ever drool over those things back then).

I made out alright, with some friends on IRC having mailed me warez CDs, from their tiny middle-American town in Iowa to my depressed backwoods in WV... precious gold discs arrived loaded with wintel based 3D modeling and DAW software.

Ever since I read Accelerando by Charles Stross (who posts here!) I've wanted a "glasses" type product. [1]

I desperately want to have in peripheral vision, my RSS feeds, and maybe a chat window. Maybe a Lynx text browser.

I don't know WHY I want it, but that's part of innovation isn't it? Finding new ways to use tools...

> I can see where OP is coming from but it sounds like he hasn't allowed him/herself to learn to do things the windows way.

I think that's an unkind way of phrasing it although I get what you probably mean. I know more people like me who started with Windows and had used it for years and suddenly... on Linux (or a Mac, to a degree) everything made sense and what was annoying and tedious was suddenly easy and intuitive.

You can absolutely know the Windows way and hate it. And the author of this post was just critical, whereas I actually hate it. Working on Windows feels like working with my hands tied behind my back and I don't think that will ever change.

I'm sure it happens but it's hard for me to imagine someone knowledgeable enough to port forward 22 and possibly other ports across their NAT to a Raspberry Pi but not knowledgable enough to realize that enabling themselves to access the Pi over the Internet with the default username and password also enables the same ability for everyone else.
Thank you again for your kind advice.

That's a good point, regarding my uncertainty and whether others share the experience. Your comment has made me realize that I feel most reassured when the people I look up to also share the experience (ie I'm not any less-than for it, and I still have potential despite it). While I am still looking at others, at least now I understand my own inner lack and can now work towards it more constructively. :)

Those to me sound like the words of a user with incompatible hardware, or maybe a user that installed LFS or Gentoo.

I think I agree as I am not in that space my go to reason is that if it would be easy, we would have fully automated trains with no train drivers already.
The nukes that actually exist today would reduce us to a medieval or early industrial existence, except with a lot of information about how to rebuild faster — Hiroshima and Nagasaki both got rebuilt and are now thriving, and while modern weapons are higher yield and much of the industry to rebuild with would be destroyed, not all of it would be, and roughly half the global population would still be alive to do it.

I wouldn’t count that as “effectively destroy us completely”, even though it would be really bad.
This made it very clear to me that I shouldn’t get too enthusiastic yet ;) so I was spared the inevitable dissapointment. Thanks for that update!
That's what the default Mac keyboard layout has been for decades. Just because Microsoft/IBM won the desktop OS wars and forced everyone to use their keyboard layout doesn't mean Mac users have to comply.

I'm used to switching between Mac and PC layouts every day, but I personally prefer the Mac keyboard layout. Command is easier to press with a thumb compared to Ctrl, which requires the pinkie. Option allows you to input special characters with far more ease compared to any PC operating system (e.g Opt + Shift + - for an em-dash compared to some crazy incantation on Windows). Control is still available as an additional modifier if you want it.

A great side-effect of using Cmd as the primary modifier is that shortcuts inside your terminal become simplified. E.g Cmd + C to copy rather than Ctrl + Shift + C, or Cmd + T to open a new tab rather than Ctrl + Shift + T.

In an ideal world, Windows would switch to using the Win key as its primary modifier instead of Ctrl. That would make life so much simpler.
Plenty of basic human needs are financialized - crops and water and electricity - and they don't have any problems.

Why is financializing land and real estate a cause for the problem?

I argue it's not financializing, but the lack of allowance for production of more, when the price signals a demand for more.

When crop prices are high, farmers grow more, or make use of more land to grow. Ditto with electricity or water. Why isn't more land opened up for development, when price of real estate is high?
Not sure about 1993.. I had one at work (486/33) in 1991. 16MB RAM. It wasn't cheap, but it was cheaper than the personal AT 286 I bought in 1987.. relatively speaking the most expensive computer I've ever bought. So in 1993 the price point.. well, I don't know. Not out of range for consumers though (I found an article in the Los Angeles Times, from 1994, which mentioned a "fully equipped 33 MHz 486" at $1388 in 1993 - their point was that it was only $1000 in 1994). That was just a fraction of what I paid in 1987 for that AT.

I tested Linux on that 486/33 in early 1992, and when my office X terminal broke down I replaced it with that Linux box the same year (I can't remember what the experimental X11 was called - this was before XFree86. Something YFX86 I think.. but no search finds it). As soon as it was possible I replaced the CPU with a 486 DX2-66. Probably early 1993. Still only got 16MB though. Enough for me. Now this 16GB laptop runs out of memory all the time.. oh well.

Dyte raises $11.6M to help developers build better video calls
Age. I'm hardly interested in casuality and flatness of game narration, so there is only few games I can occasionally really enjoy to play.

I finished Cyberpunk 2077 last week. Story is interesting, but gameplay is meh. That forces me to focus on main story and don't waste my time with looting, exploring, killing NPC's, etc.

If ther is no story, I'm not interested at all.

Btw, I buy only DRM free games on GoG, so that also gives you some limits.

Ask HN: Non-YouTube tools for tracking YT channels?
I'm looking for some sort of notification system (email would be fine, other forms also fine) that could read a list of channel URLs and let me know when they release new videos.

I want a tool that runs outside the web browser if possible, but in-browser is OK if there's really no other way.

I've hunted around but so far have failed to find anything remotely like this. There are many channels that I love watching regularly but I do not want to use YouTube to know that there's a new video out on one of them.

Any ideas?
Engineers at this level aren't just cogs in a wheel, the best ones can conceive, architect and ship businesses that deliver 100s of millions in revenue.

At this point in time, they're not valuing their time, but their overall value that can be brought into a company.

So just the same as a top sales person that can bring in millions of dollars of revenue can earn a certain percent of that as commission, the best engineers can strike a similar deal.
Flatland is a state of mind where the state government try not to interfere too much and people in general have a less nimby attitude, Australia is the opposite of it.
There is no doubt that the entire housing market was exploited to float the US economy and covered up a recession dating from 2000-2001 until the housing market could no longer be sustained resulting in a complete collapse of the financial markets and banking.

The housing market didn’t “snap back” rather two unprecedented tax payer stimulus packages totaling just shy of $2T were given to the banks to finance millions of foreclosure cases and allow the entire industry to consolidate. That $2T resulted in the longest bull market in history, as well as the biggest transfer/consolidation of wealth in history.

It was unprecedented until the “stimulus packages” during Covid which is probably closer to a total of $7-8T, so far, once the federal reserve leveraging is included. Once again the policy response during this crisis was designed to benefit corporations and the wealthy. One of my favorite things to highlight was that following the Fed receiving taxpayer funds to prop up the stock market Disney had their greatest single day stock gains in history all while every single theme park, hotel and cruise ship were indefinitely shutdown and every single movie production was indefinitely suspended.

The very same way people look back and excuse the banks for their culpability for the financial meltdown resulting in “the Great Recession”, and even more bizarrely argue to some extent that taxpayers should thank the banks for allowing the taxpayers to bail them out (ie finance their foreclosure cases and major bank acquisitions)…its clear the people have once again been conned by politicians and are stupid enough that we will be reading future articles about how 2020-20?? wasn’t a stock market bubble and wasn’t inflation and that the people will once again be thanking politicians and the federal reserve for robbing them.
I’ve recently learned ASL through VR, where there’s a wonderfully big community! There’s regular classes, as well as automated learning spaces (watching a virtual character sign) and worlds full of other sign users keen to talk and help you learn. I don’t think I’ve ever learned a language so frictionlessly before. If you want to try this, it’s possible on Quest, but you’ll have an easier time with index controllers for the higher fidelity finger tracking

I'm not an admirer of many of the theoretical positions he takes, but he writes well and often in these kinds of posts he draws attention to considerations that not enough mainstream economists are paying attention to.

He's more often worth citing than other of the standard talking heads of economics like Greg Mankiw.
https://github.com/ESWAT/john-carmack-plan-archive/blob/mast... is interesting. It transitions from todo list to a narrative format right after Quake launches :) In subsequent years you see Carmack opine on various high-perf platforms for gamers, and also for Quake level pre-processing (engine licensees had money to spend on productivity)

Chapter 64 onwards of https://www.jagregory.com/abrash-black-book/ is Mike Abrash's detailing of Quake's development.

(tl;dr - Quake was developed on NeXTSTEP + an MS-DOS port of GCC (DJGPP), Quake2 was on Visual Studio + Windows NT (this was the era of that Carmack giant-monitor photo), there was an in-between period of free updates to the original Quake, like WinQuake, QuakeWorld and glQuake).
> Do you think they are so stupid?

The rummoured narrative is that the Russian spies believed that they have enough higly positioned Ukrainian military officers on their payroll. Thus the Ukrainian president will either have to run away at the start of hostilities or get couped by his own people. After that they can place a new leadership structure on Ukraine.

I don’t know if it is true. I don’t have proof either way of course. It’s merely one of the possible narratives which could explain how the Russian’s military command could have hoped for a quick victory while not being stupid.

This is an interesting description of ADHD. I've long wondered if I met the diagnosis. I have an incredibly difficult time knocking out small tasks, but very prone to hyperfocused rabbit holes.

Show HN: Disable now useless “What's new” page in Firefox
Firefox 99 started serving a "What's New" page that is an ad for Pocket instead of listing what's new in the browser.

Another disappointment.

Here's how to disable the now useless "What's new page":

1. Go to about:config

2. Change the value of "browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone" to "ignore".

Bingo! One less page with ads.

Thanks for nothing, Mozilla.

Working on Linux is also hands tied behind my back because distro maintainers are basically dictators you have no influence over because you don't pay them in any way, in fact they donate their valuable time to you.

But I get your sentiment, linux feels better than windows but I am surprised you didn't try to do things outside of the strict documented ways of your distro initially like most people.

The author isn't just being critical, their criticism is wrong because they are comparing Linux things without mentioning the tools you use in windows to do similar things. The difference is, while windows has powershell, wmi, and tons of other tools and features, you can do so much with it's equivalent of the DE that it is easy to think that is all there is to it.

Cameras are optional for meetings except once a week when the whole team gathers and syncs up. The day is known in advance so even people who don't like cameras have time to "tidy up".

America is simply too big for public transit to replace cars to any great extent.

Hey. I'm an Editor/IDE aficionado.
This could be the start of a really nice macOS native editor.
Panics Nova is nice but it is lacking good Go support.
However there are many things to get right.

These things are needed in order to get competitive imho:

- Plugin API

- Plugin Marketplace

- Proper LSP (you seem to have that already)

- DAP Support (you stated you are working on it. Good!)

- Out of the box support for go-templates, css, js and html.

You already have a very good foundation from what I see! Keep it up. I'll buy I license just to see where this is going :)
> Who would host the data?

Anyone who wanted to. If you wanted to make sure your personal data remained available when you turned your computer off or that it could be downloaded quickly then you'd need to arrange for paid hosting. Pick up cheap vps and share it with your family and friends. Whatever.

> how would that hosting mechanism be resistant to collusion and manipulation

It doesn't need to be, that's the point of using strong cryptography.

> it seems you will need some sort of decentralized state/data tracking (like a distributed blockchain ledger)

No, you just need to keep track of keys. Your identity is your key. We already do this. Certificate authorities, ssh keys, etc. The issue you're describing is one of using a centralized authority to solve the problem which is hardly the only solution and certainly doesn't require a blockchain.
Me too! Maybe that's why I like it

The reality is that DNS over TLS is a rarity and most users are stuck with poorly operated, unencrypted DNS servers both at work and at home. That's not secure and the lack of privacy is often intentional or even local policy. A lot of operators actually earn some money on the side selling data to advertisers. And they are also more than happy to give local authorities access to that data. Same in companies where your boss likes to know what his minions are looking at in their browsers. These issues are not hypothetical, they are real and the vast majority of users is exposed to this poor status quo.

DNS over HTTPS solves that problem right now by simply bypassing all those poorly configured DNS services. Nothing wrong with that. Why wait for something that might never happen and that is dependent on the cooperation of companies that are clearly not in a hurry to do so when you can go straight to a secure and private by default situation right now? If you have a nice trusted TLS DNS server, use it of course. If not, consider using DOH.

I recently had to figure out why my browser was so slow and then I realized I had not turned DNS over HTTPS on yet (new laptop) and all the DNS requests were taking hundreds of milliseconds. Enough for me to notice and be annoyed by it. That's how bad things are for real users right now. O2's DNS server is not great and they are definitely doing everything they legally can to monetize whatever happens on their servers. They probably also hand over server logs to anyone who asks nicely. So thanks, but no thanks.

So, I turned on DNS over HTTPS and problem solved. And I feel a lot better not broadcasting my browsing behavior to O2 and the various companies they sell my data to. And that's when I'm at home. I also use my laptop and phone in coffee shops, hotels, and via public wifi's, different operators in different countries, companies/customers I visit, etc. DNS over TLS is not an option there. DOH is.
I feel the same way. All of them have come a long way and are more or less usable for anything you might want to do on a computer. There are strengths and weaknesses of course (e.g pro audio on Windows is pretty bad, gamedev/3D art on macOS is not quite good enough) but they can all do most things reasonably well.

I just wish Linux had more high-quality commercial apps. Open source is great and all, but I'd like to just be able to pay people for building things that I rely on.
