I find Ep 7 to be mostly unwatchable because it’s almost all fan service without a real story to be found. There was no plot for Ep 8 to hang itself on, just a few coathooks widely spread.

Ep 8 had some really interesting character arcs, but also made some basic errors. As a movie, I think that it’s the strongest of the three sequels. Given a lack of plot points to really hang off, Johnson seems to have done something interesting, but left even fewer plot points to hang off than Abrams left him. Let’s be clear: if Lucasfilm had disagreed with his direction, they would have taken him off the project.

Ep 9 was more fan service (who can we throw into this scene?) with an even more inexplicable plot hook (if the Emperor was coming back in any way, there should have been hints of that in Ep 7).

I do not understand the fascination with J J Abrams. He claims to be a fan of various media, but IMO he is the shallowest type of fan out there, appreciating only certain aesthetics without looking any deeper. His Star Trek films are the absolute worst of all the Star Trek films, even worse than Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Why are they the worst? Because they have become Generic Action Films with a Star Trek veneer. (This is more or less my complaint with Picard.) I dread the idea of seeing J J Abrams touch any more science fiction properties because he just doesn’t get them and turns them into Michael Bay films (but with lens flares instead of explosions).
Yes, except for proprietary operating systems. However, as vast as the gulf is between Hare and Zig/Rust in terms of portability, far vaster is the gulf between both of those and C. It's disingenuous to compare any of these languages with C in terms of portability, as C is by a wide margin the most portable language of all time.

Unlike LLVM, adding a new backend for Hare is a relatively straightforward effort: riscv64 was done by one person in a few months and is only 1,476 lines of code.

And again: the answer to the question posed by the blog post's title is "no".

Not an economist but majored in economics for undergrad, including macro, international, and public economics.

I think it's great for people to learn about macro but I don't think you're going to get what you are looking for out of this with regards to investing- economists are generally good at studying and trying to explain why things happened in the past. Like any other group of people, they're not very good at predicting the future, and certainly not the stock market.

Among the most amusing wrong predictions to me is a theory that was gaining steam in 2006 was that there hadn't been a recession in a while, since the dot-com bubble, maybe because newer companies would do all their design and research for themselves but outsource the manufacturing, so could withstand decreases in demand. And as a result, maybe there just wouldn't be any more significant recessions in the US.
ISPs are often in a more powerful position, in the sense that they often have more streams of data to you than just your internet usage. E.g. your mobile service provider is also your ISP when you're on the go, thus they also have your call and text history and location history to correlate with your browsing history.

On top of that there's also the value of just having privacy even if the ISP can be trusted. E.g. I might not mind being seen naked by a friend, but I would still prefer for that to not happen.

In general I think a lot of the big providers who have gone without incidents (and without major changes) for a long time can be trusted. I feel the incidents with Proton were somewhat overblown, since their page on legal notices received did mention that they could be compelled to log IP addresses (or at least that's how I remembered it). But even without that, I think Mullvad has been pushing for "system transparency" where users can verify all the software that's running on their servers, which is a step in the right direction towards providing confidence that they are indeed not logging anything.
OK, so using your logic, if you're wearing a balaklava to warm up your head, don't use cash. Will remember that

I see, so you think you're performing for the uneducated masses.

You're deluding yourself. This is fraudulent argumentation.

If you have something to say that you want people to pay attention to, you can work up a few sentences plus a few corroborating links.

If you have nothing to say, you intimate at great revelation held back by the ignorance of lessers, and tell inquirers to do their own research.

If you don't like the categorization you've self-selected into, then you need to select differently.

Otherwise, you just appear to be clueless but aspirational, condescending and clearly not worth engaging.
The correlation of an asset to the market is the definition of 'beta' and it is not technical analysis (from investopedia):

"Beta is a measure used in fundamental analysis to determine the volatility of an asset or portfolio in relation to the overall market."

"Technical analysis is a trading discipline employed to evaluate investments and identify trading opportunities in price trends and patterns seen on charts."

Good luck with the project - I like the focus on MTB especially since Strava deleted all the interesting downhill segments (which was a loss to us all) and also with Trailforks going the subscription route.
I don't think you need to understand anything about php or Python to understand this. I think the email comparison is the best metaphor.

Gmail and Yahoo and whatnot all speak the same language, "email". They've friended one another ("federated") and have unfriended spam mail servers. They've also settled on roughly the same design for their mail clients, but they didn't need to.

Unlike Gmail, there are a zillion Mastodon servers, because anyone can make it. And unlike email, the "ActivityPub" protocol can be used for a bunch of different uses. Mastodon cuts it up to look like Twitter, Pixelfed cuts it up to look like Instagram, PeerTube cuts it up to look like YouTube, etc.

Basically, Gmail is just one email server, and it speaks SMTP .

Similarly, Mastodon.social is just one Mastodon server, and it speaks ActivityPub.

In practice, I don't think you really need to understand it any further than the email analogy. I just tell those interested to sing up for Mastodon.social and see if they like it.
Many years ago I worked for a telco that had a mobile product that you could buy with cash (show up in a convenience store with cash and you would get a SIM card for use straight away without any form of registration).

This was 5 times as expensive compared to when you paid by debit or credit card.

This offering was extremely popular amongst drug dealers and people needing a burner to call in a bomb threat. (Maybe there were legislate uses too - I never found out.)

The problem for the telco was that this was generating hundred fold the number of request for wire tapping and logging by the courts and the police. And by law the telco was required to service these request free of charge.

So in the end the business simply wasn’t there even though the margins were sky high.

Moral of the story: selling stuff to criminals might seem like easy money but may not be worth the trouble.

There are several issues at play here:

- Why was a single trader able to cause such a move? What does that say of the ability of the market to handle manipulation by a single player?

- If a market participant had some in place orders, for some crazy values. Will all the orders be honored?

- Does this market includes a circuit breaker?

- Another fat fingering incident like this, even if it's an automated trade, and how much real and possibly extremely large losses, could come again on the direction of the tax payers?
If I'm not mistaken, this is an April Fool's joke :)
"Fusible interfacing" is the search term for "patchs that glue on". From my experiene the connection is not as durable as the existing cloth (especially the edges come off easily) and I'd still seam it with a line of stitches.
If you accept that there is some marginal benefit in getting employees together physically, (and as someone with a remote position, I certainly do) then I think the logic of "we already spent the money, get in here" has a degree of truth to it.
When the recession hits, yanking hybrid away and demanding full time is an easy way to both A) easily cut staff that cant show up to the office easily (so preselected layoffs) and B) have massive leverage to force the issue sense they cant just go quit to make 20k more now in response

They can certainly do that, but that doesn't keep the merge from happening. It just means there might be a PoW chain on the side. It'll be up to the market to decide whether it's worth anything, and if it's not worth much, it won't support much mining activity.

So far, the miners don't appear to be organizing a chain split. And it would take some organizing; they'd need to defuse the difficulty bomb, get exchange support, try to get support from the people running tokens backed by custodied assets, etc. Perhaps most critically, they'd need to get a large portion of the user community to believe that PoW is better and worth sticking with. That's not happening either, and Ethereum users are very much looking forward to PoS.
I think Darth Jar Jar is an amusing fan theory, but fan theory nonetheless. Yes, Ahmed Best (the actor) said it wasn't out of the question, but there's no official confirmation this was even considered. All there is, is fan based theories speculating about circumstantial evdience.
Write amplification issues with NVMe drives – a shared secret
And that category of bugs (memory safety) is only avoidable if the unsafe code itself doesn't have undefined behavior (which responsibility is left to the programmer rather than the compiler). If unsafe code is compromised then it's still game over (hence the recent development of various tools/methods like Stacked Borrows in MIRI that checks potential errors outside the borrow checker, as well as various guidelines for developers to write safer unsafe code)

Safe Rust cannot ever cause undefined behavior, but Unsafe Rust can. The ultimate merit of Rust is that when you suspect any undefined behavior you only need to check the unsafe part, which is a much smaller percentage of your codebase (as opposed to C/C++ where you need to check the entirety of your code)
Hi! Yeah I'm the author of Goblins :)

Yes, Goblins' "vat" model descends from E, which supports the "hybrid worldview". http://www.erights.org/

I have a tendency to call Goblins objects "actors", though some people in the community like to point out that "distributed object" is preferable since synchronous call/return is not supported in actors. But yeah.

Aahaha, my parents used to abuse that service (finding old jackets abandoned by students at the end of the school year) and I told them to stop because it was taking advantage.
Clearly I stand corrected in relation to the private regime predating that Statute. I'd given it no thought, and didn't even consider it could be characterised as "copyright law". My apologies to the parent poster.

I thought building Apple Park was just to keep Ives around a few more years.
I know there are some places that will make the jeans with a reinforced crotch for this very reason (helpful for riding bikes). I think a lot of larger brands that user to make jeans like this have stopped, likely to increase profits unfortunately.

I've sewn up crotch holes in the past with some scrap fabric and it's not bad, but it is a bit tedious. I'm wondering if sewing in a simple piece of scrap fabric and then adding a small iron on patch would provide decent reinforcement.
> So stop putting them under a lot of pressure. The second tip hints at this, but it only seems to be a reactionary measure. Maybe all this goalsetting, OKRs and such is exactly the problem with the industry, always having to feel pressured to an extreme by metrics and stats which effectively mean nothing, when most people just want to put in an honest day's work and progress.

You nailed it. The entire article can be summed up by your statement. It's great they're acknowledging it, but putting corporate make-up on it is cringey; it almost comes off like we are the problem and not the other way around.

I don't give a damn about "drinking the kool-aid" and I don't give a damn about your business theatrics nor the political drama that goes with it. Give me work to do and leave me alone to do it. That'll solve a lot of the burn-out.
The OP irritated me so much that I wrote a 2200 word comment. I'll spare the world that (and my steelmanning of the OPs position) to just say that I think the discussion of "steelmanning" here is a pretense in order to continue an argument from his comments as an abstraction, and with that an excuse to use ad hominem and vague associative arguments that wouldn't normally be seen as constructive.

It's a sign of weakness, not strength. The reason you steelman opposing arguments is to make your arguments look strong and convincing, not to be "charitable and kind." It's the same reason you sell a knife by cutting through a steel pipe and not a marshmallow.

Instead, the OP is taking on "Ted Cruz" to protect "all the health officials in the world." Who exactly is this supposed to convince?

This set of jupyter + autoreloads + editor features might get you close, but you won't be on par to CL's level. I'm thinking about CL's interactive debugger, and about language features that were thought with interactivity in mind. On an error, you get the interactive debugger, you can explore the stack frames and get to the erroneous function, change it, recompile it, come back to the debugger and ask it to resume progress from this point, and see execution pass. You didn't have to re-run the whole operation. If we can do that in Python, I've been in my cave for too long^^ As such, this is how debugging a complex program looks like in Python vs in CL: https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/images/debugging-python-VS-li... (Ravenpack [1] is a company that does big data analysis and that uses CL, they gave some talks, maybe you'll find more practical reasons from them)

There might be more CL libraries than you think: https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl but I'm not that a zealot to say you can ignore Python's ecosystem, especially in certain areas…

with its shared-nothing-by-default thread model, rust would make for an excellent GC'd language as if it gave the ability of opting into GC on a per-thread basis with thread local heap and GC. Some relaxing of the shared-xor-mutable probably would need to be relaxed though.

I don't know how practical it would be to implement in practice.
This is HN while not everyone's subscribes to everything pg says there is a lot of agreement on what constitutes a startup and differentiates it from other more conventional businesses.

PG says a startup is any company who looks at growth as their primary measure. A business is any company who looks at the bottom line as their primary measure.

So it depends on the definition you wish to subscribe to. There isn't a universal consensus but in this sense many HNers would see GitLab as a startup despite being worth many Billions.
If you want people to 100% believe it, add it to the employment contracts, with significant payments if the company reneges. However I think you will find that the executives won't go for it.
You can watch "Decentralized networks vs. the Trolls" to get a sense of how it works. Good video.

It's not unheard of but I had a really hard time finding anyone capable of doing that kind of work in the Bay Area. Even when I did find someone the work was not great. Maybe I would have better luck in a bigger city like NYC? I think perhaps people being unaware of this technique has lead to a drop in demand over time and thus a diminishing supply of practitioners.

Twitter was a space with a set of rules, Elon has publicly indicated his intention to change those rules, and many of the people who came to it with the understanding that those rules existed don't really want to be there without those rules in place.

Improve is subjective. Some people want to go to a coffee shop, others a Bar. Elon is buying the space and turning it from one into the other, of course there's going to be turnover in the patrons of the space.
I personally really like Martin Shkreli's advice on investing which is the same as Buffett and Graham's investing principles:

0. Don't try to make your money investing, learn a skill and develop it to get paid.

1. Find an undervalued company. Calculate the value of a company using DCF and be conservative. Try to buy at a high discount rate-- a dollar for $0.50

2. Just dollar cost average into your value picks and index funds. Don't try to time the market ever. All of your holdings should have a large enough time horizon that a 3-year bear market is a blip on your radar.

I think anything regarding an understanding of macro econ is going to be speculative, i.e. not actually based on the intrinsic value of a security, but trying to chase inflows and outflows of capital, which is the opposite of investing.

I am a baby in the world of money but the two books that I thought were amazing at de-mistifying investing were the Intelligent Investor and the Little Book of Valuation. Also Martin Shkreli's series of livestream videos on valuation are very entertaining and free on Youtube.
Please explain the humor in:

- Calling dice "retarded" because the writer doesn't like those particular dice

- Calling people who own gold dice "retarded", despite there being no evidence of disability that was previously known as "retardation"

Where's the joke? Can you please show me how it was funny in 2009? Can you explain how this humor is somehow notable enough to be highlighted on HN?

> condense the steam

That's what the water is for!

Turbine systems follow the Rankine cycle, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_cycle , which includes a condenser. The water circulating is a closed loop. The steam you see coming off cooling towers is the external water which has been used to condense the circulating steam.

The water is a source of "coolth".

Index funds have tracking error, so it absolutely makes sense to ask for the ten index funds most correlated to the S&P 500. I'd expect a Vanguard S&P 500 ETF or similar to show up in the list, along with some competitive products.

Also, roboadvisors like Wealthfront trade strategies based on negative correlations within and between market indexes.
