I medically can't drive, and my other half doesn't want to drive. I see this as well, a number of my circle also want walkable/transit areas. In the states it's NYC, Philly, Boston, Chicago, San Fran, Seattle and a bit more. I feel like I need to leave just to get a sane metro area.

I'm in NYC now, but keep circling back to Philly. We're renting for ~3200 now a one bedroom 650sqft in NYC, both work from home. To get the ideal separation we want, not have our joint offices in the living room, we would need to go to between $5,500 and $6,500. While in Philly we could get a trinity, small town house three floors plus basement, about 900sqft, in downtown for ~2200.

I wouldn't buy in Philly, I just don't trust the city planning at this point. They're trying, but it's an uphill battle. The tax situation as a self-employed was much more complex in Philly. Safety is not something to just shy away. I lived in Old City, two years back, and there were still shootings near my apartment. It's a problem in a lot of cities as we gut social spending and relief programs. Philly did open a safe injection site, and is making head way.

I really like Philly, close to NYC Megabus was 15$ a seat, and about 3 hours. Amtrak is even quicker. Great music and food scene, Reading is great for food / produce.

The biggest issue I've found is the job market. Locally, a lot shifted out to office parks, requiring regional rail, and walking along multi-lane roads. If you're working remote, I got cost of living adjusted like crazy. The quotes I got were 80% pay cut over my NYC rate. While local jobs, were only a 10% cut. The local tech scene is a bit behind, more legacy.

Comcast has a great VC program as well for startups. The city also has tax programs to help get startups in the area.
Agreed; I especially liked the nuanced discussion in the comment here: https://gabrielkahane.substack.com/p/in-defense-of-friction/...
Information about content is not the content itself. It's metadata as opposed to user data.

I'd be more concerned about the "not limited to" part than the "information about ..." followed by a long list of things they can get information about part. But I think, in my lay (non-lawyer) reading of that that they've set the spirit of the agreement. They don't want to miss some little detail in their list, but they're setting an expectation that their telemetry (if any) and their support department in case the owner asks for support can access metadata.
I don't understand how the rooting works here. Usually GC languages make the distinction between a "pointer" which is a reference into the heap, and a "root" which is something known to the GC that keeps a pointer live. I don't see that distinction here. I think this is what the author is saying:

1. You can allocate from an arena; you get an object.

2. Allocated objects may be freed when a GC is triggered, unless they are added as a root. It is your responsibility to add your object as a root.

3. Roots are in a LIFO stack and cannot be moved.

Ok, but we never actually see the root type. For example:

let rooted: Vec<Object<'root>> = ...; // we have a vec of root objects
let object: Object<'arena> = arena.add("new"); // object is bound to arena
rooted.push(object); // object is now bound to rooted
arena.garbage_collect(); // Object is marked as live and not freed

How is anything rooted here? The lifetime changed from 'arena to 'root but I don't see a root being created.

Some other misc questions:

What if instead of storing them as a map, we store them as a stack instead? When something is rooted, it is pushed on the stack. When it drops, it is popped from the stack.

But later we see roots not obeying a LIFO order, under "Preventing escapes" where roots are dynamically created and destroyed in an arbitrary order.

The function takes a &mut Arena, and at the end it returns an Object with the same lifetime

But earlier it says "we have to make sure the object can’t move." I'm confused what is being returned here: an object reference, or a root.
The states that I'm familiar with require a number of hours of supervised driving before allowing teens to get their licenses, along with the enrollment in certified driving schools. That can be both expensive and time consuming, especially if parents are working and don't have the time to do supervised driving with their kids.

The skyrocketing cost of living all over the country means that parents must work more, sometimes multiple jobs, in order to make ends meet.

The cleave-line IMO is very clear: the have and have-nots. People who live of capital (i.e. rent-seeking) VS those who live of their labour (or rather increasingly don't).
The software engineer hiring market is very trimodal:

There are companies that hire at average salaries. Usually targeting Radford database @ 50% or whatever numbers they think they can get away with paying.

The next cluster of companies pay well but not at FAANG levels. They pay somewhere around 80-90th percentile of salary data. They collect all of the best employees who either can't, won't, or don't want to get FAANG jobs.

Then the long tail of FAANG salaries occupies something like the 95th-99th percentile of salaries. These are the numbers you see on the levels.fyi homepage.

HN tends to over-emphasize the FAANG level salaries, but there are a lot of companies in the middle bucket that pay much better than average. You might have to network and work to find them, though. Staying at average or below-average companies too long can actually make your resume less attractive over time, so you have to put in some work to break out of the rut and into the higher paying companies.

They will need a lot of discipline to not screw up with that much money. It is very hard to be focused, subject your company to real market forces, and to spend money appropriately when it's basically infinite. Where I've seen this happen, a huge management layer grows and exists based on who can do politics better in order to control a chunk of the money, not who is actually moving towards product success. We'll see how these guys do, personally I think it's set up for failure, purely based on the amount of $
Wait—who is “slicing and dicing” the polling here? The main political debate right now is over where to draw the line for elective abortions. Texas draws it at 8 weeks, Mississippi at 15, and Roe at 22-24.

Asking people a question framed in terms of weeks or trimesters produces a much more accurate reflection of the culture than asking them about a legal decision that most people have never read. Most people think that “overturning Roe” means “banning abortion nationwide.” Maybe you think that’s where Republicans are headed with this. I think it would be equally fair to say, given recent laws passed in New York and Colorado, that Democrats want legal abortion until the moment of birth (and after that if the abortion was unsuccessful).

But the actual legal issue in play right now are 8 weeks, 15 weeks, or 22-24 weeks. And public opinion is much closer to what republicans have enacted on those numbers than what Roe requires.
And occasionally you run into weird issues like where all online offerings are missing the pre-gap material from the CD, i.e. the bits between the tracks that are shown with a negative timestamp and which are only played when you play the disc straight through without hopping between different tracks.

Plus liner notes are often omitted online, and occasionally that, too, is a little bit of a shame, even if the main thing is of course the music itself.

COVID and companies being more open to hire remotely has partially fixed that, I know of multiple people making 130kE+ in Berlin now, working remotely, with full benefits of being an employee of a German GmbH.

I can give you some details via DM if you want.
Yeah, I should have clarified that I don’t consider that non-standard. Well, it’s semi-standard, I suppose. But yeah, I had in mind the ones more like ‘xe’ and ‘xer’.
The assumption I'm thinking they mean is to make formatting default and unformatted not default, for example, how "raw" strings were treated, escaped characters are replaced with the ascii code by default unless the string is raw, signified by an 'r' prefixed in front.
I think off-shoring (different geo, same company) is easier and more likely to succeed than out-sourcing (to a different company) for software or product development.

Having employees of your company (or a wholly-owned subsidiary) working alongside other local employees is much easier than outsourcing the work to another company in another location. In the latter case, your interests are less aligned than if you were all working for the same company.

It still takes excellent management in both/all geographies and it’s a different style of work, with communications across geos being slower, harder, and more lossy than an in-person whiteboard chat that you might have come to rely on.
The collateral requirements increased significantly overnight as a result of the dramatic surge in trading.

I wouldn't qualify that as normal operations.

It's certainly not a positive mark for them, but it seems reasonable, and they were able to quickly get more collateral, just not quickly enough to enable the surge of trading to continue on that particular day. Not the worst brokerage failure.

Conanex - Conan Extended, is it need?
Hi all,

I created extended wrapper version of conan, called conanex that allow additional syntax in conanfile.txt, please checkout the url.
If you do not know, then Conan is C++ package manager.
The reason I created this wrapper, because conan do not support all this features that I added, instead user should manually to download sources, run conan create command ... Such manual solution has disadvantageous that now not all dependencies are specified in conanfile.txt

I posted the similar topic on reddit and cpp slack, not be confsued :)
Speaking of progress... Progress 4GL was the main tool used by the small company I first worked for after university. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenEdge_Advanced_Business_Lan...)

It worked in the context of the company being a VAR for solutions that used it to run big business ERP systems and the like, but our manager saw it more as a universal hammer for any job. Fair enough; he had become the manager after being the sole wunderkind programmer for this company, and had no management experience, or really much other prior job experience. I like to think we've all grown beyond our initial roots since.

In that <1 second, the OH can react with methane or CO. The more CO in the atmosphere, the more likely it will find the OH before the methane.

>> There is a different level of public interest between rockets and boring

Or the simple practicalities of the later. I'm a member of the public. What I know of the boring project comes from the youtube videos of the traffic jams in the current Vegas tesla tunnel project. Building an underground tunnel to bypass above-ground traffic problems worked only on the Simpsons (Stonecutter episode). In the real world such tunnels are just another 1-lane road subject to all the same problems as they would on the surface, plus a bunch of bonus problems. It isn't interesting because it isn't practical.

We've done this too many times and we've had enough pain, let's please proceed at a pace where we can worry about delivering our product and not updating formatted strings, thank you.
You'd be surprised, people who expect python to be "smart" and "figure it out" might think that way.
it is also very very liberal in interpretation of facts. so, 2 sequences of kings reigns, one is 10, 30, 7, 25 years, another is 8, 45, 9, 20. according to Fomenko's methodology, these are copies of the same event, because it is a short reign - long reign - short reign - long reign.
SSDs are very near the price of magnetic discs? Near as dammit for a one-off consumer purchase. They're still behind at higher consumer ranges like over a terabyte, but for most of the market... are you posting from several years ago?
This is exactly the answer. Why would the manufacturer of a professional-targeted camera take an action that would destroy their business?
If you only make it work with string literals (e.g. generate the underlying formatting logic at parse time), it wouldn't allow arbitrary inputs to be treated as f strings.
> concerns from social conservatives about transitioning and self-identification and "social contagions" and such. We should try to understand as well as we can, and not push anything on people they may not have felt themselves.

100%. We have to approach this topic not only by accepting it, but also by sincerely discussing certain aspects of it. No teen should undergo surgery because of peer-pressure. On the other hand, teens who are certain that they're trans should receive the help they deserve. Difficult to navigate, but doable.

> If you'd thrown me on a deserted island with no culture, I would've still had gender dysphoria

That's something I have always wondered, and I know that the question is hypothetical, so its up to you to answer - Let's say we live in a world where gender roles and norms don't exist. People visit the doctor they need to see, but socially, people just are who they are. Would gender dysphoria still be a thing?

> Today, I worry they're worse off than it being unknown like it was for me

I know what you mean, that in a way they have a bigger spotlight on them. On the other hand, we have way more knowledge about this topic and newer generations are more open about it, so I don't think its that bad.

> I don't know why I'm writing all of this, so I'm going to stop here.

Was really interesting for me to read about your experience, but I see that a site like HN is probably not the best site for such deeply personal things. Would be really interesting to hear more about your experience. Maybe another time.
Profit can be either good or bad. The difference is often in *how* it is earned.

The host from the article summarized it pretty well, "I’m in the Ponzi business and it’s pretty good”.

Offering a service to rubes in a Ponzi scheme may not be illegal ... but it is not without ethical concerns either.

Have you ever wondered why every corporation on the planet hasn't jumped into this highly profitable scheme of creating your own currency? They have the resources and the technical expertise to do it --- but they haven't. Ever wonder why?

The whole thing is nonsense pseudoscience regardless of what shape it's in.

Being taught Freud and Maslow at least contributed to the reasons I dropped out of college. You can lack personal safety but still have self-esteem and self-realization. In fact some of the most self-realized people in history lived in some of the most dangerous times and places. I'm sure there are Monks who are more self-realized than any of the people Maslow would consider to be at the top of his hierarchy, and they definitely don't need Prestige or a Feeling of Accomplishment (aka the narcissistic human ego) to reach a higher level of human consciousness.
Do we have to do these things in a specific order? Can't we do them in parallel? I suspect you'll find the cross section of people who want to reduce agricultural CO2 emissions and those who want to clean up gas and oil leaks to be quite large.
I had to vouch for the comment (make it not dead) to reply to it
The person to whom you're responding probably made that comment because of GP's statement "I think a lot of people who spend work hours browsing the web don't like them." Which in itself is pretty cynical.

As a fellow dev, I dislike open office plans, but not because I spend my day browsing the web. I dislike them because I'm rather noise-sensitive, and it's hard for me to tune out the sound of ping-pong balls being batted back and forth. I can't just put on headphones, because my team pair-programs extensively. With WFH, I can pair program and not deal with that or the myriad of other aural distractions.

That said, I appreciate your comments on this post and yes, I wholeheartedly agree that the preferences of folks who prefer WFO are just as valid as those of us who prefer WHF. Plenty of room for both in the world. :-)

And with that, I'm off to play today's Wordle while half-listening to a Zoom meeting.
I tried to re-negotiate a 4 day work week, but they weren't having it, so ended up walking. I know it is privileged to say, but sometimes no amount of money is worth giving up things that are important to you. For me, I was giving up my time and ignoring a project that I think is very important. When I came to my senses about how the money isn't worth giving that up, they had to yield, or I had to leave.
What happened last year was FAR from normal operations in the markets. What happened last year wasn't even a "surge in activity"; it was a hurricane.

And, to be frank; Robinhood can obviously accept some blame, sure, but the financial settlement system is what almost bankrupt them. There's no good reason why transfers have to take four, now three, now two days to settle. Everyone in the industry knows this; but they're slow as molasses at remediating it.

Its insane to think about how much economic prosperity has been, quite literally, destroyed into nothingness by this antique component of our financial system. Whether its the billions of dollars tied up in depository collateral, rather than being productively deployed. Or the businesses, like Robinhood, which were (or were nearly) destroyed due to black swan events.

Do you trust the bootloaders that you have to use to run Hackintosh? I haven't run one in several years, but at the time I used the Clover bootloader. It was the best I could find but it was written in Russia. I just couldn't trust it when accessing any sensitive information on my computer.

Sorry if you have already answered in another thread.
Maybe it's more usefull to talk about a 'slant'? Like, you can totaly do desktop apps with custom GUI components in Java but those tends to be written in C++ for some reason.

Like java, python, c# 'slants' towards web services and maaybe CRUD apps, C++ 'slants' towards games and graphicly complex apps.
You can use runtime code generation with mere java.lang.reflect.Proxy. Yes, Spring is slightly more powerful than that, but it's not something magical. Runtime code generation is a simple concept.
Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't the answer to simply have more collateral? Given that RH was able to raise emergency funds around this time it seems really likely that they could have been better capitalized before the turbulence started, and gotten the money on better terms than an emergency deal.

They probably didn't do this because they underestimated the need for it (poor risk models), or simply didn't want to pay the extra cost.
The f-strings are a recent (may be not so recent now) addition to the language, so all the errors stem from it being "new" where people's reflexes / carefulness hasn't adjusted to them yet.

I think in addition to the suggestion for linters, updating IDE/editors to incorporate them would help. Syntax highlighting is the primary reason not terminating strings isn't that common of an error anymore, coloring it differently than a normal string might help (or may be it would make things ugly, I don't know).
> The figures are an estimate, based on tests on thousands of people in random households across the UK.

They provide the most accurate picture of Covid now that free testing for the public in England has come to an end.

Given the weight of the matter, why weren't both of these done all along? That is, free testing is a particular profile, if you will. A profile that may or may not reflect the broader population.

Isn't a representative sample a smart backup to the less controlled free-and-whoever-you-are testing?

Walk up and get tested and that becomes a proxy for all doesn't feel scientific.

Georgism isn't different. It relies on an implicit threat of force, too, since it's all about property taxes. Not paying your property tax (which some people might not be able to afford in places where it goes up a lot) would likely have similar effects as eviction or foreclosure. Otherwise, why pay the tax?

True in so many cities, especially Toronto. So many people grew up in Toronto now upset they can't afford a single family home and are "stuck" with condos. But isn't this how urbanization works? How are detached SFHs sustainable in an urban environment?
