Okay, go out and buy puts on the S&P500 that are 6 months out and see how you do. I suspect the market will bounce and blow you out.

Rates are rising, but the yield curve isn't inverted yet, and the stock market is unlikely to continue this losing streak straight down. It normally doesn't happen that way. Emotions right now are very negative and a lot of people are going to make bets thats are exceedingly negative and in the 3-6 month short term period other people will make money off of them.

This does not feel to me like the start of the crash, possibly not even the top, although we might go sideways until the crash.

And there will be low interest rates again.

The point of the Fed raising interest rates on the low end is to tank the economy hard enough to eliminate wage inflation. Given the overhang of jobs over jobseekers (and likely the effects of COVID death and disability on the workforce and boomers retiring) this one is likely to be exceedingly painful.

When the Fed engineers the economy tanking that means that rates will get slashed again and >10 year bonds will not budge upwards.

What it will look like when long rates go up is that wage inflation will actually take hold consistently.

And low rates already blew up the dot com bubble in 2001 and the housing bubble in 2008. Read up on the Greenspan Fed.

They're going to jack rates up, tank the economy and then go back to ZIRP again.

Short rates != Long rates. Fed doesn't control long rates.
It truly astounds me that such expensive software gets sold to consumers.

There is only way too much complexity with YAML if you try to use it. JSON-with-comments makes perfectly good YAML if you like that. Nobody forces you to allow the more esoteric features into your code base. You don't even need to know they exist. You can even use a library like StrictYAML if you don't trust your coworkers to be sensible.

Julia heavily makes use of multiple dispatch among with other convenient type related features much more complex than Python, to a point where they are often abused and sometimes have uncaught edge cases. It makes the language very powerful but has its downsides.

And to be fair to Python, static analysis has come a very long way and the CPython interpreter makes far fewer complex assumptions than the Julia compiler. It’s also fairly strongly typed as well, so I’ve found that challenges with the type system cause more issues with packaging and maintenance than it does correctness.

You said it yourself, the web apps popular.

Why do you think that is? What makes them popular?

Figma, canva etc are all really popular. Google docs is popular. They are all easy to use. For basic tasks we really dont need a huge expanse of menus and options all laid out like an aircraft cockpit. I would argue for a normal person that is far worse than some empty screen, which maybe hides a bit, but puts the more common or important tools visually first.

Maybe it could just be a toggle in a menu somewhere, "pro mode". These FOSS tools could learn what was good about modern design and try to iterate on the good take aways.

I hate to be the one to point this out, but it's really dumb to pay blackmailers. Here's why: these people go around looking for people to exploit. The overwhelming majority of people will simply ignore or block the blackmailer, at which point they have little point to follow up on their threat - after all, posting the pics doesn't actually help them get paid. However, a small fraction of people are naive enough to actually pay. This is the worst thing you can do: now you've marked yourself as someone who can be exploited for cash. Once you've sent the first batch of money, the blackmailer has no incentive to follow through on their promise not to post the pictures. Instead, they will just squeeze you for more money, since you've already marked yourself as someone who is naive enough to pay.

I understand it's too late for OP, but if you're reading this and are ever in a similar situation, NEVER PAY.
snapshots would be nice. it is actually a container of sorts underneath, with RDP support, so they could do it if they desired. (they don't, it seems, unfortunately.)

Windows containers gaining RDP is probably the bigger wishlist item, for me. Windows containers with a GUI would make some things extremely trivial and other things much easier.
C is supposely a language which it is reasonable to write a compiler for and in order to get a reasonable hardware ISA abstraction.

Don't worry, the ISO working groups are making sure that it won't last and soon writting a C compiler will become a nightmare like what they did for c++ (C23 is seriously scary).

Instead they should fix it: remove _Generic, typeof, etc which have nothing to do there, and make sure writting a C compiler does keep requiring only a reasonable amount of developement efforts (not an army of devs for 20 years like c++).

Actually, removing and hardening stuff would be more appropriate, namely not really adding stuff: remove typedef? harden and improve the type casting rules, let's be bold and eat the bullet, remove the implicit cast except to/from void* pointers and add static/dynamic casts (please not with the c++ syntax)? Make function pointers the same than the other pointers, finally (POSIX/GNU requires it though). Etc.
A globally accessible sound money that can be stored in your brain is pretty valuable to me.
Your comment is getting some downvotes despite having interesting metrics that aren't super commonly discussed. I bet if you presented it as "Here are some metrics I have found useful" you would get a much more positive reaction.
As someone else said, you are the victim of a crime. While this may be embarrassing, this should be pursued by law enforcement. Contact the FBI, open a case, and let them take care of it.
This could, and should be mitigated through the use of real time keyboard remappings. An image of a randomized keyboard layout is shown to the user so they can type their password using different keys. Enjin Wallet on IOS does this (obviously for reasons other than acoustics), but I have not seen it used anywhere else.

Preliminary looks into remapping keyboard inputs in real time looks annoying to make portable, but doable.
Also, `defer` is a patch applied to lame languages like C. It's fine as such -- the problem is the language, and that can't be fixed because the installed base is large.
One thing I’d like these to do (I tried a couple and settled for zsh-histdb with the fzf integration) is to be able to annotate past commands, with a description, tags or, even better, both.

The use case I have in mind is when I end up crafting some complicated and inscrutable incantation and being able to “earmark” it for future reference with a little bit of context that FutureMe might have forgotten by the time he thinks to reach out for the history.

Put another way, I do tend to use my shell history as a scrapbook of sorts, and I wish I was able to easily write on the margins.

Please, let me know if this is already a feature of any of these tools that I’ve completely missed.

Nitpick but alcohol is not a controlled substance per 21 U.S.C. § 802(6) ("The term 'controlled substance' means a drug or other substance, or immediate precursor, included in schedule I, II, III, IV, or V of part B of this subchapter. The term does not include distilled spirits, wine, malt beverages, or tobacco...").
There's a lot of good advice here. So I'll add a philosophical perspective.

Right now, your biggest problem is not losing your job, but your fear of losing your job. The attacker has weaponized this against you. You say you are in a bad situation financially, but you also mentioned you could do a non-dev job as a stop gap. That implies to me that losing the job would be a set back, but not a catastrophic set-back. You could find another dev job eventually.

Then the first thing to do is reassure yourself that the fear of losing your job is almost surely disproportionately large relative to how bad it would actually be.

Secondly, you remove the weapon. Either tell you company that this happened, following the useful advice in the comments on how to do that. Alternatively, take a note from Trump and Shaggy -- commit to outright denial no matter what. Even if you sent photos that include your face and your company badge, deny-deny-deny!

Either way, make a commitment to accept whatever comes next.

The weapon is your primary obstacle, because you've given money. Now the scammer will try to bleed you even if you switch jobs.

Ask HN: Affiliate Program Recommendation?
We're looking for an affiliate program for our BigCommerce Web store.

We're looking at Refersion for a couple of reasons:

Refersion Pay - automatic payment and tax document processing. I haven't found a comparable service elsewhere.

Highly customizable - we'll be integrating the affiliate program with several systems and need significant customization capability which Refersion has.

Are there any other affiliate program candidates that you're aware of that we should look at?

Thanks.

There is a technical track at my company and I'm fairly high on the IC track. I took a fairly good sized pay cut when I stepped back to IC, which I was completely fine with in exchanged for the type of work. The mentoring is one of the few things I like about managing, but there's so much other downside to my quality of life and my technical skills just suffer.
I guess HN only has an appetite for financial advertising when its bearish on crypto. I don't understand why it should tolerate such pieces at all, but they love to hate crypto here by any means necessary.

One glance at the screen and you immediately notice whatever they use (ML, shitty hardcoded algorithm, some hybrid in between) has zero persistence, no object permanence. Objects vanish and reappear randomly, float in space. Would you trust a driver with 0.016 second short term memory?

> Bitcoin could be used to pay property taxes there

There are no annual property taxes in El Salvador :)

But this may be a technicality, based on the Salvadoran legal definition of the term. So it really depends on what is understood as tax in each jurisdiction.

El Salvador law differentiates between taxes and fees. Taxes are born from an "generating action", like selling a computer generates sales tax. While Fees are born from a "service provided" .

So there are monthly fees payable to the local city/town/village hall based on property size and location for services they provide in that area Some common ones are garbage collection, CCTV, city lighting, road maintenance and the contribution for each City/Town annual Festival. A monthly fee for each town's annual party :O Does that exist in other countries?

So once you get your city hall invoice, and wanted to pay in bitcoin, you'd have to visit the city hall to pay in their bitcoin terminal.

At least four city halls are connected to BitRefill which allows online invoice payments using Bitcoin/Lightning. BitRefill connects to a local payment network, then the user types or scans the Invoice barcode, and makes the bitcoin payment for the fees bill.
Algorithmic trading against other cryptocurrencies turned out to be less stable than backing UST with a fiat currency.

> Blogs and my personal sites have always been good, but discoverability isn’t there.

I'm working on something trying to solve the discoverability problem:

" Hello Internet! I made something, check it out! hello? Anyone?"

But there is a strong argument for it:

"You got no response cuz you suck, what you made suck, it's not internet's problem, it's your own problem."

I can't argue back so I accepted it, then I realize something:

It wasn't that no one see it or no one likes it holding me back, it was the humiliation that haunts me the moment I post it.

And just like the Nobel Winning Economist says about why people don’t save for the future, “none of us are Homo Economicus”. The same can be applied to diet. No one is a completely rational being.

You tell me that I have to walk an hour to burn off 250 calories, I’m not going to bother and neither are most people. Every study shows that exercise is a completely ineffective method to lose weight for most people.

I mentioned in another comment that yes I did eat like crap and lost and maintained weight by exercising in my mid 20s to mid 30s. I was also a part time fitness instructor, taught 10 hours a week (spinning, step, weightlifting, cardio kickboxing) and I trained for runs and I lifted weights three times a week. I had a commitment device to go the gym - regularly scheduled classes that I taught and got paid for. I had to be in shape. I would teach 2 hour classes on Saturday and Sunday and teach during the week.

Most people will never commit to that level or intensity of exercise. Even now, I have a home cardio gym and the only time I watch TV by myself is when I exercise.
There's probably a single fuse you can pull out, or a single wire you can cut which would disable enough of the system that you could still drive, but it would stop reporting telemetry.
We need a way to the governor/head of state to immediately punt something up for judicial review, as an additional option aside from signing or vetoing. The most inspired things I've seen from activists in the US is "line item veto", but I'm thinking of direct constitutional court review without waiting for someone with deep pockets/connections to be hurt by the law.

Some developed countries have this. Seems like a better check and balance than the one from 1792. Passing a law can potentially involve all three branches of the government.
I was kind of amazed when it had happened again, I was less experienced the first time. The second time with new company I was abundantly clear from day 1.

I may try to build something similar just out of fun, replacing the Pelican case with the strongbox that came with my COROS Vertix adventure watch, as it is now laying around with no other use.

As already pointed out by others, Mil-spec GPIO female connectors would probably be more versatile and easier to use than male ones in the present design. More durable storage and e-ink display would be also nice.

Three-quarter- or one-inch diameter EMT could give a similar look, be easier to cut (if required), be less expensive, and be strong enough. It might take a little figuring how to do the joins, but that can be the case with threaded iron pipe as well.

Somehow a search this morning sent me to Pinterest with a lot of photos of decorative knots. That might be a way to do some joins between crossbars, as well. (I hear macrame is coming back!)

> What criteria of the definition doesn't El Salvador fulfill?

The one that is actually important when it comes to currencies, having something valuable (whether it is a resource, power, political influence, military, finances, etc.) to back the currency up with.

But on the most technical level, you are correct, El Salvador has the ability to back up BTC in the same capacity as a country like Zimbabwe can back up Z$.
Would be cool to build a few of these and spec them with a LoRa mesh messenger network. You could even build solar powered relay boxes to "connect" settlements.

In the end it's all just a toy anyways, but it feels nice to come up with these things. Makes me feel a little less helpless, maybe I should just go to the gym more often though.
