From the article: car loans, credit, and person loans (payday loans). Mortgages are highly regulated since 2008's financial crisis. Those subprime lenders exited the mortgage business and jumped into high interest used car loans. And I'm right there with you on the anal probing I had to practically get to qualify for a mortgage.

It is a rather controversial statement. I have more consideration for a controversial statement from somebody who knows what he is talking about (and provide arguments/anecdote) than from someone making a moral judgment. It was rather a challenge to your statement with a conditional diss to force you two elaborate.

Not since education got funded by the lottery. They promised if we got a lottery the money would all go to education. Never mind that for every dollar that went to education from the lottery, there was a dollar reduction coming from the general fund which got diverted.... apparently not to infrastructure.
You can literally just hover over a link and the browser (Chrome at least) may initiate the same DNS lookup. Sure, you don't want that in hardcore opsec, but claiming that it's on the same level as sending your contacts to a remote server is outright wrong.
Imo, Vangelis brought the synthesizer from an experimental novelty to an instrument for composition. The two sounds I associate with him are the long brassy triangle with a steep envelope that we know from both Blade Runner and the accompaniment to the piano in the Chariots of Fire theme, and his effective use of chimes.

I have tickets for Olafur Arnalds next week, and there is a younger generation of composers like Arnalds, Frahm, Richter, Tiersen, Aphex/James, and even Reznor/Ross, who could not have avoided Vangelis' influence marrying the synth with classical techniques. He was a big part of what inspired me to start making synth music and more than a few of my tracks have homages to his work, and this note triggered a memory of playing the Chariots theme on piano as a really young child and it seemed to be everywhere at the time. A loss, but hard to mourn such an exceptional contribution as well.

Try learning Japanese at 55. It’s the same.

I was in an evening class with other students who were mostly in their 20s. The age thing was really obvious. All the older students struggled.

I kind of thought I could be super organised, come up with smart efficient ways to learn characters etc. But no, you need raw brain power - mostly memory I think. Wisdom doesn’t count for much.

I learnt more about the reality of growing old than I did about Japanese:-)
I have listened to Chariots of Fire and Blade Runner soundtracks countless times while developing or just spending time behind the computer. Thanks for making the time go by better Vangelis!

Yeah I don't disagree with you entirely. I worked at a place with the 'outgroup' feeling you describe.

I think the word 'friend' is too broad here. Maybe the French ami versus copain is more apt[1].

While I wouldn't say many co-workers are close friends, all but a handful have been or could possibly be good acquaintances.

Another way to say it is I wouldn't mind spending a couple hours at a happy hour with them chatting.

Since we're such social creatures and how that maps to our physical and mental health, I still worry too hard a line between the the two and how much we all work could be risky/detrimental.

IPv6 simplifies networking by freeing us of the hacks surrounding IPv4. These hacks were made to stop us from running out of addresses.

Every device will have a unique IPv6 address. This solves a lot of pain regarding port forwarding and NAT — an issue I felt often when trying to play video games or host a Minecraft server when I was younger. It’ll be easier for regular people to access their local networks which could help make it a more mainstream option for people who want to home host services like file syncing or media servers.
Me too, but it was just a better search engine at the time, which isn't nothing, but not exactly "pushing the envelopes of what humanity is capable of" either.
I think you're greatly exaggerating the death of jQuery

> old trick's won't work

> writing is on the wall

jQuery still works and is used in an crazy amount of websites. It's not going away soon. The biggest downside is the extra network request, but it's probably cached in 99% of browsers, so all that's left is some extra CPU time.

You're also exaggerating the claims of jQuery defenders. No one here is arguing that the site should keep jQuery, or that you should write a ton of new jQuery code.
One of the explicit goals of gov.uk is to be maximally accessible, and that includes for people accessing the Internet on a potato or who have a metered connection.

All videos of all courses in Coursera are free. You can watch them fully without providing your credit card info.

There are two types of courses in Coursera- free and paid.

In case of the paid courses, you can go to the course and navigate to the "Buy Subscription" page and click on "audit the course". You can watch all the videos for free, but you don't get access to quizzes and programming assignments (you never know what a web search will turn up ;)) ⊕. You do not get a certificate by completing a course or completing all courses of a "Specialization".

In the case of a free course, you get access to all the videos, quizzes, and assignments. You don't get any kind of certificate. Instead of going to subscription page, you can just click "Enroll" and choose the no certification option.

There are some great courses in the free tier (videos + assignments, no certs) as well. Dan Boneh's Cryptography and Grossman's Programming Languages A, B, C come to mind. Also Model Thinking by Scott Page.

There were some great discussions on HN in the past. [0][1][2]

⊕ There are courses where duplicates of paid assignments and quizzes are provided under "Practice Assignment" as opposed to "Graded Assignment". Like Martin Odersky's Functional Programming Principles in Scala MOOC.

Something being an ISO standard has nothing to do with being able to send OFAC after you? Fundamentally the difference is providing a service vs an idea just existing in the ether. You can't sanction Rust, it's just an idea. You could tell rustup they can't allow downloads from IPs that match sanctioned countries.
Rust has an extremely powerful macro system, have you tried that?
> I get the same vibe from certain other groups in this industry, most recently from functional programmers and Rust afficionados, for example.

Another trait in programmers that is worth avoiding is the false equivalency between C++ template metaprogramming and generic programming in languages with expressive static typing.

It's not clever or inscrutable like templates, quite the opposite. It's explicit about constraint. Generic Rust makes it easier to understand complex code and write it correctly. An immediate red flag for me are programmers who don't "get it" because they equate that to some kind of SFINAE or compile time magic they once saw in C++. They're not the same feature, except superficially.
Should go on the attack with HR that this discriminates against neurodivergent people who aren't comfortable with social situations and who don't document their lives on their phones. Maybe throw in that its possibly ageist against older employees who didn't grow up with facebook in their teens.
>Given the very low interest rates in 21-22 and high prices, a certain percentage of folks would have purchased with a convertible mortgage.

The 'certain percentage' actually went over 50% of new mortgages, excluding refinancing.

>Assuming the standard 5-1 and the fact that rates are rising very fast, should we expect a repeat of 2008 in 2026-2027?

You would think so but no. We should expect it in 2022 primarily harming the large cities.
according to the blog, one key driver for inventing a new protocol is Google wants to do per-connection encryption, (e.g. using different keys for each TCP/UDP connection), I don't think wireguard (which is interface based model) could be easily modified to support that.
My recollection from Cussler's version of the story was that the detachable torpedo on their bow (the idea was to ram a pointy torpedo on the bow of the sub into the enemy ship, detach, then it blows up on a delay so the sub could escape, IIRC) got stuck and didn't detach properly.

Amusingly, I always joke that I'm fluent in jQuery, but no absolutely no javascript. As a mostly backend go/python/non-javascript developer that has always held true.

It is just a tool in the belt for an engineer. Can you use jQuery in 2022 or later to solve really amazing problems that impact user experience? You sure can! Would you be better off to use a modern javascript variant and stuff like react instead? You also absolutely would.

So just because a tool is old doesn't mean it can't be used to solve real user problems. There are still banks and airlines that run COBOL, and as a user, do you really care that much? I'd take "knows $insert_older_less_hip_tech_here" as experience of having done something for awhile.

Now if I was asked to write a front end today, I'd have to sit down and properly learn react + typescript (because javascript is awful without sensible type checking), and that would add to the time to ship, but is the correct thing to do.

Cryptocurrencies.

In the runup to the 2008 crisis, a commonly heard mantra was "yeah, subprime lending is fucked up, but it's a small fraction of the economy, it can't cause that much damage". Turned out that it could, via the CDO shenanigans.

I would not at all be surprised if someone has already cooked up a similar leveraged dependency from the "real economy" to crypto markets.

No; the people in Flint would entirely agree that they expected to be able to drink their water - that's why it was such an outrage that they couldn't.

On the other hand, the fact Puri, in Odisha, got safe drinking water from the tap was a major news story last year - since it was the first city in India to have that, and even just general availability of piped water at all is uncertain for many in India - many, many people get water delivered by road on tankers.
I've tried them, but they felt so clumsy to me that I don't see how I could ever be a convert. Trackpads, at least on Macs, feel precise and intuitive; I even use one on the desktop (unless I'm gaming).

I suppose a trackpoint might be useful if you really want your hands never to leave your keyboard, but generally I'm either editing text with emacs keybindings (where I don't have to use the mouse), or else I'm in a mode where having one hand off the keyboard doesn't feel at all hindering.

Maybe I could be convinced, but since they're hard to find these days and getting harder there wouldn't be much point (except to frustrate myself on the off chance I ended up loving them).
We don't do that - it's important that the interest in these things be community-organic. We're interested in tracking what the community is interested in, and we never try to gin up interest in anything (ok, except APL). It wouldn't work anyhow; that's not how a technology becomes influential, at least not in this community.

I put the OP in the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/pool, explained at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308), but that was according to the usual 5-second standard of "I think the community might like this one". I didn't look closely enough to tell whether the article was positive or negative towards Fly.io, nor is it our job to care about that. What we care about is intellectual curiosity (see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...).

There's one big exception to the above, which is the official Launch HN posts we do for YC startups - those are described at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html - they get official placement on HN's front page, as explained there. But they're always clearly indicated by "Launch HN".

I personally find it super interesting which startups end up achieving HN darling status - the classic examples of this are Stripe and Cloudflare - I'd add Hashicorp - and it would be fun to make a list of others. But from a moderation point of view it doesn't matter whether such a startup is YC-funded or not and we try to be as neutral as we can that way. I'm not saying we don't have unconscious biases or conflicts of interest (such a claim is impossible!) but we're strict about how we approach this consciously, and we have quite a lot of practice with that.

It's a natural concern of course, and I'm always happy to answer questions.

p.s. Incidentally, there's at least one HN user who has made a long series of accounts angrily accusing us of secretly favoring a non-YC startup (the one mentioned in the GP comment). We haven't, but because that startup is well-loved by the community, it's easy to see how it could come across that way, with threads appearing frequently and filling up quickly with comments.
If public spending is socialism then why don't states that don't the one party blue states that don't get antsy about "socialism" have great infrastructure?
It does. Try using a different anti-malware solution instead, or check which Powershell modules are loaded automatically in your session.
2008 was a lot of 'AAA' grade securities not being able to find a greater fool to keep the profit train running. A lot of financial instruments were basically repacking and reselling loans with a bit of interest on top. Once there were no more new buyers it was a cascade of margin calls.

Subprime was a very small cause of the GFC but it was the tipping point that brought the house down.
Quasi-on-topic anecdote: Amazon used to (and may still) sell these DVD bundles, like 8-12 movies to a pack. There would be a few classics (Ghostbusters or something) mixed in with arrant garbage. The hope was you'd buy the pack for the classics and maybe watch the garbage later because you have it so why not.

I used to call this sales strategy "Amazon Subprime". I still think that's one of my cleverest jokes, but unfortunately you might only laugh if you know how the 2008 housing crisis actually started... and the people who do know that are not great in number.

The Court is dominated by Originalists. If the science wasn't known to George Washington then it doesn't apply.
I had a conversation with one of the city engineers in Ann Arbor once about why a street near my house was gravel for like 6 months, and he said that one of the big asphalt contractors had bought out the one that bid on that single block of repaving and then wouldn't do the project on anything like the original timing because they needed the equipment elsewhere. At this point, there's only one or two road asphalt contractors that do anything in greater metro Detroit, so it's hard to get stuff done on time and in budget. It also didn't help that we had a strike from the union that does the work for that contractor and shut down major projects for an extended period in 2018 or 2019.

Beyond that, we have a history of not making good on things like road warranties -- the state called in the warranty on I-275 back in the 90's and that caused the construction company to literally go bankrupt, so now there's a general reluctance to call in major warranty work. For instance, they haven't replaced the chunk of I-94 near the Indiana border that feels like you're in a paint mixer because the steamroller that did those few miles had a bad bearing, but everyone over there knows about it. It's getting replaced nearly a decade later in the next 6~18 months because that section just needs repaving in general now.
Sure. You said that the ICC claimed jurisdiction over all territory worldwide though.

And part of the inherent nature of authority is the ability to delegate that authority; it's absurd for the USA to accept that Vietnam has jurisdiction over crimes committed in Vietnam but threaten to go to war if Vietnam asks the ICC to hear a charge rather than having it heard in Vietnamese courts.
OP is stating that "apps and devices" may circumvent DNS blocking by resorting to DoH. You can run your own DoH server, and you can even advertise it via your DHCP server, but clients ("apps and devices") do not need to accept the supplied servers for their own configuration.
Yes, C++20 has concepts and modules, the latter still finding its way into production compilers.

The story around promoting Rust over C++ has aged badly. Parroting arguments that seemed persuasive in 2015, when most people had not even got C++11, taints your argument. People coding modern C++ don't spend time on memory errors, so promoting that detail of Rust makes you seem out of touch, and other statements doubtful. C++ has got markedly more powerful of late, in ways not matched in Rust.

This remark, "FFI is painful with ... C++" is frankly nothing short of bizarre.

To win over people coding modern C++, you will need to explain how giving up the powerful features C++ programmers are accustomed to using, but cannot in Rust, will make a better experience anyway. You might need to learn something about those features to have something to say.

Having had a trackpoint laptop since the 90's, the only thing that I found I could switch to when moving to a job that gave all engineers Mac's was the MBP track pad - the gestures and precision/feel just about made up for the loss of not having to move hands from the home row.

But yeah, sad that more laptops don't have trackpoints.
I recall some licensing fuss with Caddy but it looks like it's actually open source now. But stuff like this does tarnish a brand for a long time, see e.g. people still being uncertain about Qt licensing, not because of the more recent developments, but because of licensing issues that were settled in the 90s.
They will burn everything so the SEC has nothing to stand on.
> What learning curve? Isn't it just a joystick mouse?

They don't have a learning curve in the sense that it's difficult to make one functional, but when I did try a trackpoint I felt it terribly awkward and imprecise. I'm not at all surprised that there would be a transition period after which trackpoints at least felt better to use.

> moving from 200 mm to 300 mm requires a total redesign and for some chips the redesign is not worth it. There are other differences between 200 and 300 mm than just the size of the wafer.

That is very interesting, I would not have thought so and I'd like to know more, can you elaborate?

Naively I would have expected that you would "just" make new 'master masks' (or whatever they're properly called) which have more copies of the exact same design - i.e. something that takes some money to fabricate the new tooling but not any significant design choices.
