I think even if candidate cares, they'd be afraid that you judge them on the choice. And the safest answer is that they don't care.

Would you ask them their favorite programming language, and if they say Perl very passionately?

Also, it often depends on the ecosystem.
> The problem is that deposits are a liability. Banks can only lever up assets to lend, so deposits are on the wrong side of the balance sheet to do that.

When someone makes a deposit in a bank it goes on both sides of the __balance__ sheet. On one side the "deposit" is a liability for the bank - who owes money to the depositor - but on the other side it increases the bank's "reserve" account.

I strongly suggest a different point of view: having always smart devices nearby is a bad idea. For us, civil in peace.

Why? Because letting very few to know very much about us while most of us know next to nothing about them is VERY VERY VERY bad for Democracy.

A small example: let's say you are named Alphabet or Microsoft, does not matter, and you have started to harvest data, no one can know if, how and when you do, from "remote schooling", let's say you have an in-house well developed behavioral model and you are very skilled in ads and propaganda campaigns... What stop you from identifying most skilled students for aspects of your interest and drive, an ad at a time, their interest toward you, so depriving you potential new competitors of talents, perhaps directing bad students to them? When you have essentially the complete control of all human communications because they simply happen on your platform you are not a company anymore, you are a de-facto corporate-state and your customers are your slaves.

Remember a thing: if there is no privacy for all it's ok, if there is complete privacy for all is equally ok. If we are almost all in balance it's ok, if very few hold too much all others will suffer. War is the extreme example, but it's a VERY good one, because as Carl von Clausewitz have written years ago war is just politics by other means and modern management/corporatocracy is just kind-of mock war by few against many others, against customers included, since lock-in, coercion etc pay back well.

Crafting Interpreters [1] is also really good, it's often recommended on here when compilers are mentioned. It does spoon-feed you the code (Java in the first part, C in the second), but it's descriptive enough to follow along in a different language/paradigm if that's what you'd rather do.

Yes, that's the point. The money gets lent out for people to go out and do things they wouldn't otherwise be able to, causing economic activity. A simple example: If you needed a truck to perform a job, but you'd sit home doing nothing because you couldn't buy it outright, that'd be a loss to the economy. The risk of a default is priced into the interest rate.

Saving money in the form of hoarding is bad. If everyone does it, the economy slows down, we become materially poorer, because the amount of work we perform for each other is lowered. That's why there needs to be an incentive to invest money, through inflation and interest rates.

I believe the way you feel migh also be somewhat due to a lack of exposure to the environment in which Russians live. While I'm not Russian and have never been to Russia, I do come from Eastern Europe, so a former communist country, and I now live in the West.

There are just so many things one takes for granted in Western democracies which are just not so in a place like Russia. Nothing really works as it should, not public institutions, not private institutions, army, judges or anything else.

Throughout my life I've seen plenty of things which I thought were normal at the time, but make me cringe now. A few brief examples, I can expand on all of them:

- policemen bribed with a raw steak out of the trunk

- doctors who wouldn't treat you without a bribe

- teachers who'd fail unless you went for "private tutoring"

- whole neighbourhoods built without a permit

- nepotism in public/private institutions to the point where whole departments are basically just friends/family

- public/private jobs which are only available for a fee to the right person (e.g. in order to become a nurse, you need to pay X 2000 EUR)

- skipping queues/processes (e.g. getting a passport) by bribes or knowing the right person

- faking official documents in pretty much any circumstance if it's easier for any party involved

- many others that I can't think of right now

In these places everything is solved with a small bribe. It's required and expected and just the way it works. Things have changed since the EU and all, but everyone who grew up in Eastern Europe knows what I'm talking about.

So while I expected the Russian army to be more capable, hearing that they're selling petrol out of their vehicles and don't know how to operate their tanks doesn't even make me raise an eyebrow.
There are various ways to do it. By default github pages support jekyll so on new commits github automatically pushes those changes to your blog/website.

If you plan to go with something like Hugo you'll have to setup a github action which will do the processing for you. Example of such github action can be seen here(https://github.com/mzfr/mzfr.github.io/blob/hugo/.github/wor...)

In order to actually move, the best way is to convert your webpages to makrdown and then just put them in the github repository.

A quite well know blog post about moving from wordpress to static gh-pages is this(https://www.hywel.me/static/site/wordpress/2016/07/17/fast-f...). But I think this might be old so it may or may not work.

Below is the list of few more blogs about this process:

* https://www.logitblog.com/moved-away-from-wordpress-to-githu...

* https://blog.netnerds.net/2020/08/migrating-my-wordpress-sit...

* https://haralduebele.github.io/2021/02/10/Moving-my-Blog-fro...

All of these blogs did it the same way, setup gh-page on github and then from wordpress export your content to markdown.

My suggestion is if you don't have much experience with markdown & github pages then just go with having a simple jeykll blog. And you can choose themes from here(https://jekyllthemes.io/free)
3 pounds = 1.36kg

It's heavy for most recreational activities, but it might be great for expeditions. If it could be made very durable, it could be beneficial for superdeep cave exploration. In such environments there is no light, but often there is rushing wind and water. There is also a critical need for power to keep lights running. While charged batteries can also be brought in from the surface, they have a limited lifespan in the cave, and an expedition therefore needs a continuous supply of fresh batteries to continue.
The former strategy is actually the better one in the long run. There are a bunch of economics papers showing that on average the vast majority of active fund managers loose out to precisely the strategy you describe (although the instrument used to hold the shares is not usually owning fractional shared personally but rather shares in a mutual fund or an ETF)
Same here, however...

What I love about HN is the exposure to new ideas and suggestions. I've seen suggested here that fly.io is a cheaper alternative that people rave about. I had a quick look at their site and so far I like what I see.

So come Monday morning I'm going to add a ticket to the dev queue: Investigate moving from Heroku -> Fly.io

We'll look at the pros and cons. Pricing. Ease of use. etc. The usual. And my gut tells me that heroku might be losing yet one more customer and the tens of thousands per year that my company is currently spending with them. We're a small team, so it was decided to spend the money on a PaaS instead of a large ops team. It's worked well enough for the past 15 years. So maybe time to move?
Running a bitcoin server is relatively cheap. I have had a bitcoin full node running on my raspberry pi now for over a year (many people have had it much longer than that).

It's one of the main design principles of bitcoin, that it needs to be possible for someone to conceivably verify all transactions on a home setup. This ensures that we do not have to trust large operators to verify that the chain is following the protocol correctly.

It is one of the major problems with other coins, like ethereum, where this is not possible. This would leave it subject to pressure from political institutions in the future, which could force the reversal of transactions or freezing of accounts.
Have you seen the captured kits? Some soldiers have cheap walkie-talkies (literally commercial off the shelf cheap Chinese brands), but many others have nothing.

If i recall correctly, their aircraft are supposed to be fitted with some high tech super encrypted communications system, but it doesn't work, which is why they use phones (with buttons).

It's not a matter of "the tech is too complex", it's more of a "the people supposed to implement/acquire/rollout this relatively basic tech pocketed the money instead".

The standard range Tesla Model 3 says otherwise. They’ve been using LFP for a while now and it actually has longer range than it’s non-LFP predecessor, albeit with somewhat increased weight.

Charge rate on modern, well-managed LFP cells is not abysmal. The LFP Model 3 SR gets excellent charging speeds.

One advantage of pushing the computing on the user-side is that it reduces the load on the server: less requests, less processing and smaller request sizes. Thus it reduces the bill for the developers/companies :)
Well, if you have a theory of prices that only applies to one good and fails when applied to any other good, it means your theory is rubbish. This is why we must check whether the proposed theory works when applied to goods other than bitcoin. It's not a comparison. Although, there's nothing wrong with comparing different goods either.

The students you mentioned are probably more nervous about the $1000+ device now not in their control than they are as a ‘withdrawal’ symptom. I’m happy to show the device being turned off and out in a backpack in those situations, but I’m not letting it out of my possession. I’d sooner just not take it with me in the first place.

Taking my own phone into a hostile situation on the other hand, why would you? I don’t even take my own phone when travelling for business.
I have been reading a lot about HTMX and planning to develop an app in it on top of a JSON API. With that being said do you know if any open source apps that do authentication on top of a JSON API using HTMX? I’m having trouble conceptualizing the structure and flow of data from just reading the docs. Primarily around maintaining state between pages. (Looking to use JWT for authentication.)

It also significantly decreases load on the main CPU. Makes a huge difference when doing any file/network operations that saturate the CPU for just handling I/O.

>> I personally don't find the go ecosystem very good for people who want to goto market as fast as possible, the libraries are less developed and you're going to have to build your own stack.

Agreed, though when I do find a library it tends to just work. The challenge is finding the right library. There's no real reason for this though and I think with Go modules finally maturing and hopefully more web frameworks written in Go we're going to see an explosion in this space. Fingers crossed.

>> I'm now using Ruby on Rails in the next version, and I couldn't be happier - maybe it's not as fast, but it certainly helps me ship features faster to customers!

This is the spirit I like to see!
Years ago, a neighbor of mine had a young pit bull dog -- well, two actually. But the dog in question had been raised by a cat. So one day I'm leaning on the chainlink fence talking to my neighbor. A grey tomcat I had at the time beside me, the neighbor's pit bull beside him. As soon as the dog saw my cat, he laid down with his nose pressed to the fence, beseechingly whimpering for attention from my cat. Cat stood back about a foot from the fence doing cat stuff, hissing, arching his back, and pressing against my leg for a sense of security. The cat was clearly puzzled. Funny, but intriguing. The dog, however, was very comfortable with other dogs as well, but the cat really took him someplace emotionally, almost like he was seeking to re-experience the feeling of being a coddled puppy/kitten again.
I've heard the general-in-the-front thing is just Russian military culture. They lead from the front. That has advantages and disadvantages: one of the disadvantages is that generals get killed. For instance, they lost a fair few high-ranked officers in Syria.

A lot of the stuff you've mentioned is a combination of ordinary military incompetence (do you remember that US destroyer crashing a few years back? That's happening in the most well-funded, capable navy in the world. Other militaries are worse), Russian doctrine (scared to fly planes = no tradition of SEAD/DEAD, no doctrinal requirement, etc), and the fact that this war is not really the kind of war the Russian military is designed for.

That's part of why it's all so surprising. People didn't think the invasion would take place because it's a bad idea for the Russians.

If you consider that a military is like a very big, too-big-to-fail company, with marginally worse-than-average pathologies for that kind of organization, except when disasters happen, people die and it's plastered all over the news by a very unsympathetic media, you can probably imagine why the Russian military is looking the way it does. My takeaway is essentially that the Russian military performance is exactly what you would expect for an organization that size, in a country like Russia, doing something very difficult against determined opposition.
Also just to add a tiny bit to this wealth of information:

I just recently did an experiment on the difference between non-nitro and nitro-enabled (m4.xlarge vs. m5.xlarge) instances, in a production-ish trendy setup -- Ceph running on Kubernetes (managed by Rook), leveraged to run postgres and pgbench.

The increase in performance was around +45% TPS, just from switching to the nitro enabled instance. The absolute amount of TPS wasn't high because the setup was untuned but simply switching created quite the difference.

On top of all that, the Nitro instance was actually just slightly cheaper than the non-nitro instance.

AWS hit it out of park in the making -- they've been working on it since 2014 supposedly and they certainly built something worth replicating.
Yeah I bet they are also forbidden from looting.

Another website killed by HN?
Htmx is very well designed library and I‘ve been using it more and more. It’s great to have it in my toolbox.

The reason it, and the many other cool libraries can exist is borne out of the strength of the web, namely a solid, accessible foundation of protocols and formats with extensibility via JavaScript.

This last part is incredibly important, because it gives us enough power to create and explore new things, while the web standards can conservatively adopt new capabilities.

The web is working as intended, and while there are many issues and lacking areas (which htmx illustrates beautifully), we can take a step back and appreciate how amazing and empowering a platform it is.
Curious about those good reasons. Care to elaborate ?
Most of you correctly identified this as propaganda even though it's not lies. But you don't seem realize that this propaganda is targeting you and it's purpose is to paint Russia as weak to enroll you in the war effort
It works well for the Model 3. The standard range version now mostly uses LFP batteries. They have about the same size and weight as the long range batteries.
And of course, there is constant progress in battery density. The move to 4680 cells supposedly gives 16% more capacity due to the different geometry. That would make LFP batteries competitive for more configurations.
This is what is happening with the Fediverse (sans the minimalism), only there is interoperability between all the small communities. I think it's the future, as long as it doesn't grow to fast.
Please please someone make this

It looks like that guy was just the fall guy, we had similar election in communist Romania, only 1 party , the president always won, the people with different ideas got sent to prison or suffered "accidents". Is your president term limited or he can be candidate forever?

Let me tell you a joke/story from communist Romania, at a farm a pig gives birth to 2 piglets, the engineer there thinks "shit, this is bad only 2, the local communist party guy will replace me so he writes in the papers 4 piglets and submits the report, his superior seens 4 piblets and thinks is bad and he updats the report to 6, the reports is sent up and up until it reaches Ceausescu - the Romanian for life president, father of the nation and smartest dude in the country in his opinion , he reads the report and sees 12 piglets, so he decides "send 2 to export and 10 will be used to feed out people" . We were super poor, there was not enough food, fuel and stuff ... with the democarcy we get corrupted politicians that we change them and a president can at most stay for 8 years, on top of that ex prime ministers, politicians were put in prison for corruption eventually so things started to work.

China is doing good economically in present but I saying there is a danger of things going wrong if the leadership is not refreshed and some dude ass gets glued to the chair, like why would only 1 dude can be president, can't be that he is the only competent person.

Thanks for chatting, because of the language difference and distance there is not much we can know about China, but remember in this case Ukraine is my neighbor and Russia also was and kind of is our neighbor too (I had to learn Russian in school too) so we the people in East Europe we know and understand things better , there is no CIA or US media that influenced our opinion and for sure "What about USA" arguments won't work on Europeans or especially Easter Europeans. So if you don't trust american media I can provide you links to local papers and maybe Google translate can help you read them, we have many policial parties so there is no excuse that some group controls all the media, and for sure we have our idiots that would prefer not to upset Putin because there are scared of what the mad man will do.
It's also basically the only way to have a permissionless verification system that is resistant to sibyl attacks.

A sibyl attack, is where in an anonymous system, one person can easily pretend to be millions of people. If we had some magical way to prevent people from doing this, without having to verify their identity, and manually add them to a list of "trusted verifiers", we could do away with PoW.
This is a operation for people to have little sandboxes for fun. Not only is the threat model signify lower than your average social network but the blast radius too.

It’s also worth noting that there’s a multitude of ways one could take over these machines if they were determined enough. The entire principle behind this is giving people shell access for giggles. So we aren’t exactly taking about VPSs for serious business here.

While security is always important for anything online, it’s also important that security is balanced against appropriateness. Here the point is a little slice of the old days even though that does invite some risk.

As a [near poverty] grad student, I am more concerned with the loss of the device than with "cheating" in an exam. The phone has my cards, contact info, plus its actual value. Understandably, exams are a stressful situation, and risking losing your phone is an added and frankly unnecessary stressor. 250 euro (how much my one plus nord cost me on sale) is not a lot to most people here, but that covers my living expenses (minus rent) for a month or so.

No its not. I just want to read text based content without downloading google analytics + 20 other trackers, 5 java script libraries, 7 frameworks of some kind and 20 ads. It's inefficient. It drives obsolescence of hardware long before it is unusable (second only to gaming, but at least gaming has a user driven motivation, not abuse by tech megacorps).

Assigning a gatekeeping motivation to it is a nice strawman, but luckily not based in reality
