This is not good evidence. It may be able to nominally handle it, but can’t handle it under other conditions that are important to Apple. Display HW is all about bandwidth management, and scaling etc may consume not-budgeted bandwidth.

USA can you use Federal Reserve to monetize debt at low rates. Europe and others can't.

Pensions have been hit hard since 2008 because laddered bonds no longer yield sufficiently.

The solution is a worldwide government debt default, with UBI after pensions default. While I don't want this socialism, world politicians seem to follow Klaus Schwab's idea on this.
I think this is a really naive idea, I think you're seriously underestimating the level of complexity in a real estate transaction. You're dealing with what is for many people is the most impactful and expensive purchase of their life. In that transaction, they have imperfect, limited knowledge of the market and acquisition process. Further, there are varying levels of dishonest actors within the process - with an extreme range of dishonesty present. Top that off with the fact that you're actually negotiating with imperfect information as well... :exploding_head: Having an actual expert present who can enable you to be successful is extremely empowering and much more likely to result in a positive outcome.

Now, all that being said, it's obvious there's a deficit of actual SME's who are extremely helpful in the process. I've purchased two homes... one with an agent who I feel would fit right in with the culture of the used car salesman stereotype and another who actually was that SME. She knew the market inside and out, knew what to look for in the neighborhoods, and found the problems in each house we looked at. She had connections that got us through a weird mortgage issue (multiunit home converted into one with... sloppy paperwork), helped with specialized inspections (radon issues), and provided great advice when dealing with a cantankerous negotiator. I certainly didn't find my money wasted there and actively recommend her for anyone in the NW Columbus, OH area. There's a lot that could be done to improve the situation - higher requirements for education and qualification of realtors, prohibiting companies from being the buyers and sellers agents, etc. There's a lot to automate as well. But when there's serious complexity and life changing quantities of dollars floating around, an expert should be strongly valued.
I haven't used windows in a long time, but I thought there were still rough edges there, like certain programs (even certain windows menus) not scaling correctly and rendering tiny.

I'm currently using 2x 27 inch 4k displays in scaled mode (the second setting from the left) on an M1 mac and it looks great. Fonts look fine to me.

> My understanding is that with stagflation the better policy is to accept the inflation.

Accepting sustained inflation is always dangerous; it's exactly what we did in the 1970s. Letting it run up even further now just means a bigger recession later.
Good article. Story of my career: Accepting as well as teaching that a faster CPU won't make my database faster.
Why would the bandwidth be available for an external monitor then?
I don’t get it you need a high resolution monitor to use HiDPI… HiDPI is inherently a feature for small physical size but high resolution screens.
There are a lot of incredibly frustrating, problematic, and exasperating opinions and personality types to be found on HN. The particular members of any of those sets will differ based on the eyes of the beholder.

There's no shortage of passive aggression, angst, oneupsmanship,virtue signaling, dogwhistling, etc. It just so happens that there's a sufficient about of incredibly useful opinions and comments from subject matter experts that make it worth consuming in spite of the fact that it's a forum on the internet, and all of the baggage that entails.

(side note: this isn't intended as a dig on HN moderation - you probably all do a better job than most other venues. kudos.)
For me, reddit is the one that gets me angry. It's addicting, but also seems like teenagers and bots arguing with it each other. Instagram is increasingly inundated with ads, but at least I get to see thirst traps and cute animals.

Youtube is the only social media site that I think is a net positive on my life, because I learn so much, but I've started going for runs again because I really need time away from a screen and the constant dopamine hits.
The Halfbakery
> The sooner we collectively decide that housing shouldn't be a market, the better

Housing is already barely a market. An actual market would be much better.

We artificially restrict the construction of new housing supply by policy and then act all surprised when demand exceeds supply and prices skyrocket.

The same thing is happening in medicine: we artificially constrain the training of new MDs and then act all surprised when demand exceeds supply and prices skyrocket.

Then people come out of the woodwork with "oh look markets aren't working!" -- but in fact the markets are working exactly as designed: those with control over the supply are acting to constrain the supply, in the process enriching themselves at the expense of all others. But instead of recognizing this fact, we look for other reasons. Sure, there are other reasons and interactions, too, but the primary drivers are supply constraints!

Imagine if we explicitly forbade the construction of new grocery stores, forced farms not to use modern agricultural techniques, causing reduced yield, and then bought up a bunch of farmland just to take it out of commission. What would happen? Food prices would, obviously, skyrocket! That's exactly what we're doing with housing.

Your proposed solutions probably won't hurt, but aside from making it easier to build housing, they're noise. In particular:

> upzone neighborhoods

This is the only one that matters -- and it needs to come with other changes too, including construction "by right", that is, without needing to go through a 3-year process of fighting with neighbors who will try whatever they can to prevent new construction because they've been convinced it will destroy their neighborhood and/or property values.

> changing tax incentives so developers are incentivized to build more housing and less luxury housing

We don't need to change tax incentives to get developers to build more housing, we just need to stop preventing them from building more housing. Developers are not sitting around waiting for incentives, they're actively being denied the ability to build. Let's fix that.
The article makes it very clear what "running out of white kids" means in the context the author is writing it in. You're intentionally taking it out of context.

It is a fact that prestigious private universities discriminate on the basis of race today.
> I can never eat just part of a bag of chips.

To me, part of it is being mindful. Don't open the bag of chips and then watch a movie or surf the net while munching on them. You will eat the whole bag.

If I mode change from sitting in front of the computer to standing in the kitchen eating the chips and then mode change to back in front of the computer, I don't mindlessly consume the whole bag. But I will still sometimes consume the whole bag.

One thing I have also tried to do is differentiate between "I want chips because I'm hungry" vs "I want chips because I'm craving salt". It's not easy for me to tell the difference. I coat some baby carrots in salt or Old Bay seasoning and munch a few--if that keeps the munchies away, my body wanted salt. If I'm hungry again 15 minutes later, well, my body wants calories.

Nevertheless, I'm mostly in the camp of "Just don't have chips/cookies in the house". It also helps that I learned to bake as a child. I like tasty desserts, and most of what now exists is mostly sugar overload with no flavor. So, a dessert easily sets off my "Is this dessert tasty enough to merit skipping two entire steaks <or insert whatever main course you like> to compensate?" And, if my that activates, the answer is almost always a resounding "No." and I skip dessert.

Unfortunately for me, I found a middle eastern place that does homemade Baklava with a cream filling. It's right next to a Mexican restaurant that I also find quite nice. This is a bad thing for my waistline.

Usually this happens when I am bored or blocked at work or I am in a meeting where there is nothing for me to say or do 90% of the time.

Slack creates a culture that is built around response time but often topics on slack are low urgency and of little long term value.
Heavy use of slack requires people to be around synchronously and inevitably people will be blocked on others. This is inefficient.

Daily stand-ups are a similar routine that provides not much value in terms of unblocking people.

I greatly look forward to tech companies who prefer written documentation (eg, Notion) over Slack.

Well the point is, the world isn't perfect and there will always be negative influences, and it is a parent's duty to limit those influences as much as possible. Before it was this, now it's that. It was bad kids in the neighborhood, then it was TV, then it was videogames, now it is social media, who knows what it will be in 20 years.

I wouldn't explain to a teenager about Instagram and tiktok, I'd DNS block them on all devices. They'll see it at their friends house or whatever, and then I can talk to them, and they'll get grouchy about wanting it just like they do about toys at the store. But at least I'll limit exposure to negative influences, which is my job.

Managing the economy through wages is politically impossible. To be effective, you need to be able to both raise and lower wages as conditions demand. If the Fed has such a lever and decides to lower wages, it will not survive the political bloodbath that follows.
An idea that I've been kicking around is to, in Python codebases, have a @log decorator that first logs the name of the function, all of the parameters it's called with and a function call id, then the name of the function, its return value, and the same function call id. This can be applied to as many of the functions in the codebase as necessary to provide "replayability". Haven't got the chance to try it out yet.
I don't buy this analogy. Bankruptcy isn't the only market discipline. If a firm is underperforming, then it will be bought up and sold for parts. This happens all the time, and low interest rates only make it easier.

Anyway, the article's main mistake is in thinking that the Fed controls interest rates. It can only control nominal interest rates, not real interest rates (adjusted for inflation).

Like any other competitive market, real interest rates are set by supply and demand. If companies, entrepreneurs, and investors see few ways of investing cash to increase revenue or improve efficiency, then interest rates must be low. Better investment (real) returns can come from new technologies and innovations, or from demographic surges.

Yes, we all want better investment opportunities, in real dollars. But the Fed can't control this.
Last I heard, VSI's agreement with HP only permits them to issue licenses for VSI OpenVMS releases, and they've never released a VAX build. So at this point, any VAX license would have to come from HP (who, AFAIK, is no longer issuing them, at least not to hobbyists).

Is it time to get a DevOps engineer on your team?
Isn't the example in your last paragraph more about specialization than cutting out slack?

It seems to me like they misunderstood the value stream. The specialized added value by reducing the average administrative overhead of the engineers, which enabled the engineers to focus more on where they add the most value to the system. Not unlike the secretary and CEO in the article.
I agree, CRUD on the backend becomes trivial and it scales pretty well .

I had very pleasant experience bolting Hasura on top of existing Postgres db with couple of hundred tables and about 1tb of data. The query performance was fine and sometimes actually better in few places .

Across the board, there was a huge boost in render times by avoiding verbose round trips of HATEOS style discovery.

Only annoyance I had is Hasura not having a proper caching layer or replica support in the OSS version, even on their cloud it is limited to 100kb and does not support session variables - almost all queries are user specific in a app so without session variables it is not useful at all .

However it can be handled by putting in proxy with cache capabilities in front of Postgres.

—-

Having said that, I am not yet confident that it will scale well for public APIs with arbitrary query patterns unless more limits on nesting etc can be enforced, but for most internal APIs it should be great .

Hasura has also support for REST endpoints in 2.x so that is an option

if selling /delivering API is the primary value of the team/business perhaps no generated backend will solve out of the box all the challenges

Take a look at this. Either you didn't know what's challenging about caching nested graph data, or we have different definitions of triviality/interns.

Can somebody explain how raising rates can do anything to what really seems like a supply side problem due to COVID and war?

The 'to push 4k monitor sales' inclusion the title seems to not reflect the content of the article, which does not postulate a theory regarding Apple's intent. Apple doesn't even sell 4k monitors, so a more compelling case for nefarious intent would seem to be made by reserving HiDPI only for Apple made displays, or some arbitrary minimum like 5k.

We are sensory creatures. The brain used to have to move the body along to see new things, but now it has realized that it is far more efficient (calorie-wise) to sit and bring sensations to the eyes (mind’s eye as well).

I'm curious if they changed over time? I've observed this change in myself to a degree. There are things I'd not have let go in the past, but now I catch myself and evaluate the context. There is a fine balance between reducing bullshit that affects an organization and limiting the potential of the organization.

You're absolutely right about that. I've found anything above 125% causes odd behavior, like some menus refusing to word wrap and instead making me scroll left and right, as well as screwing up some programs like games.

The pricing looks higher than Plaid. $1.50 is way more than the $0.30 per linked bank Plaid charges.

However if your customer/sales support is superior you could win just on that. Plaids is terrible. Support tickets go weeks without responses, I need to speak to a sales guy just to enable UK/Canadian connections and still haven’t heard back after weeks of chasing. Other tickets can get left for similar amount of time too.

Plaid should get out of the way and make it fully self service to enable countries/features when you’re getting started, or fix their support/sales team so users aren’t waiting weeks to hear back from them just to enable a couple of countries they already support or confirm pricing.

With regards to pricing they also make it difficult as they don’t really explain the pricing well when you enable production either. They talk about “accounts” when their API talks about “items”. After enabling production my first bill confirmed (as no sales person ever responded to me on my question) that account was item, and not accounts the institution holds which would be extremely expensive! They don’t provide any examples on how the pricing works either, so you kind of have to figure it out after you enable production. AWS docs give a pricing example to help users understand how it works. Plaid should do the same or (again) improve their sales/support to answer questions on it promptly and not leave users hanging for weeks.

Anyway glad to see some competition here, if Stripe can match the $0.30 pricing, add UK/Canada and provide faster/better support they can win this market if Plaid doesn’t sort out support/sales quickly.

That graph doesn't support your point. The Y-axis is the percentage of each ethnic group that achieved a certain score range. The statistic you are looking for is the percentage of the total population that scored in each bucket grouped by ethnic group.

Say you have a population that consists of 60 Asians and 940 non-Asians (which roughly matches the racial demographics of the United States) where 25% of Asians and 5% of non-Asians score above a 700 on the SAT math section. There would then be 15 Asians and 47 non-Asians who pass the bar. That means the Asian percentage of this theoretical group of qualified students would be ~24%. For comparison, Asians make up 27% of Princeton undergrads. Without the statistic I mentioned, you can't determine whether or not Asians are underrepresented.
Just running some numbers into affordability calculators. Buying a house at $350k probably had your annual income between 70-80k which was about the top 1/3 of households 25 years ago. That was middle class. To afford $1.4M you're looking at an annual income around 350k. That's about the top 2%. Even if you stretch your budget more and have a hefty down payment you're still going to probably be in the top 5% of income to buy that house.
Show HN: Letlang specification inspired by Python PEPs (WIP)
Hi HN,

It's been some time now since I've started working on my own programming language. But I never wrote the spec.

I love the concept of PEP (Python Enhancement Proposals) and it inspired me to start writing the spec in a similar format.

As of now, I've written 4 LEPs:

- LEP-001: Language Target - https://letlang.dev/lep/001/
- LEP-002: Import resolution - https://letlang.dev/lep/002/
- LEP-003: Statements - https://letlang.dev/lep/003/
- LEP-004: Type System - https://letlang.dev/lep/004/

And I've started to write the following LEPs:

- LEP-005: Functions
- LEP-006: Side Effects
- LEP-007: SAT Solver

I think this will help me stop changing my mind for starters, but also help me get the implementation right (which is still a work in progress).

The Github repository is not yet opensource, I intend to open it once the "hello world" example compiles. I'm still wondering what would be a good license to use for a compiler, I'd love your feedback.
I turned on CC hoping for translation, and it was captioning in Japanese. Lol.
