> In my personal view, it would be stupid to hike to 10% since that will also cut off the needed supply response: this will decapitate energy, farm, and housing expansion while at the same time decimating all forms of wealth. But there is a possibility depending on how trigger happy the fed becomes.

The only reason Volcker managed to bring down inflation is because he was willing to actually do what needed to be done. If borrowing money is cheaper than inflation, why would anybody not just continue to borrow money indefinitely? The Federal Reserve can fight inflation or it can fight a recession; it cannot do both simultaneously.

You have to decide which is a bigger problem: a recession, or inflation. The notion that you can walk a tight rope between the two is disconnected from reality. And while you continue to make inflation worse, you only make the inevitable recession worse. Tick tock.

> You need complete despair.

I agree. We are fucked.
Interesting you should bring that up. That was used as an example of unintended side effects of policy in my economics class, because when people started wearing seat belts, they drove faster and more recklessly, so while the seatbelts protected people inside the cars, the number of pedestrians hit by cars went up.

Ask HN: Should WYSIWYG editor run fast typesetter in parallel with quality one?
The fast typesetter would allow the editor to keep up with fast typing.

The quality typesetter would run on another core. When its result is available, it would visually replace the result of the fast typesetter in the same window.

Would this be a good way to resolve the efficiency vs quality tradeoff in WYSIWYG editors?

Considering that you can't use raw uranium but need fuel assemblies, you'd need a replacement manufacturer of fuel assemblies, not just a uranium stockpile. But of course Germany was scheduled to shut down its nuclear power plants in 2022-ish anyway so a stockpile would have been largely meaningless.
Within living memory, Americans wore hats pretty much whenever they were outside. If we decide to give up sunblock, we might want to reconsider the change in fashions that got rid of them.
It looks interesting but it's difficult to justify uprooting a significant portion of my digital life to a new company that may not be around for the long haul.

You have it slightly wrong - I guess that's why you think it's a ponzi.

In Churning you're not paying anyone or forcing any to open up bank accounts to get the sign up bonus.

You're signing up to bank accounts and credits cards yourself, getting the bonus, and then leaving the service onto the next one.
---
In Crypto, you "sign up to the service" which can mean a whole variety of things. For example for an AMM it could mean providing liquidity on the USDC - USDT pair. As a marketing incentive, you start getting a "bonus" that is in the project's own token.

Every time you earn some of that token, you take it and sell it on the open market for more USD. There are actually even "auto-compounders" that do this for you.

This is yield farming.

--
The point here is that in both cases you take something that is meant to be a marketing incentive, and make it into cashflow for yourself.
What value are you interested in getting from it?

Rails is still a fantastic way to build a web application. Better than most of the Node.js server frameworks I’ve seen. Plenty of lessons to be had there.

Ruby (and JavaScript) is also where we learned about the pitfalls of monkey patching. Or at least, the most recent place we learned about the pitfalls of monkey patching.

Ruby is mature, like Python, Perl, and Java. You can find very reliable, well-tested libraries to perform almost any task you want in Ruby. These libraries have been through iterations, they’ve been redesigned and replaced with newer libraries over the years, and those newer libraries have matured, evolved, and become the standard way of doing things.

In some ways it’s a breath of fresh air compared to, say, Rust. I’m not trying to pick on Rust here, but it’s just the nature of a new language that its libraries are not as mature or well-thought-out as the libraries for older languages. The library authors for Ruby libraries have time on their side, and it’s interesting to see Rust libraries go through the evolution process all over again. History repeats itself. Library authors make the same mistakes twenty years later, or make completely new mistakes.
Thank you!

At a state level, hedging recession risk suffers from counterparty risk.

Who knows who will need bailouts/ who will crash during the next recession. On the other hand California can borrow favorably against future revenues during most recessions.
I found this comment looking for exactly this. Can you share any advice / config / dotfiles?
Show me. There are PoS chains running for a few years, so this should be observable.
Refusing to build the past 50 years and coast on the work past generations did is what got California into this mess.

As a Texan (who now primarily lives in California) I go back home and see they’re making the same mistakes CA made decades ago. Regions can embrace change or fight change, but things will ultimately change— cities can change with the times or die in the past.

I like to use "big-endian" naming molds (love that term!) to define sets of names that when you alphabetize them place related variables next to each other. (i.e. in a completion menu or browser.)

For example, left_foo and right_foo are little-endian, since the least significant word comes first, so they'll be a long distance away from each other in an alphabetized list.

But foo_left and foo_right are big-endian, since foo is more significant than left or right. So they will appear one after the other in an alphabetized list.

Common suffix words are _x _y _z or _min _max, or _left _right _top _bottom, of even singletons like _enabled _loaded _error etc.

But when you combine multiple dimensions together in names, you need to think of which dimensions are more significant, based on how the variables are used, so use foo_x_min foo_x_max, if the positions are important, or foo_min_x foo_min_y, if the ranges are more important.

Sometimes it's hard to decide or ambiguous, so just try to be predictable and the same as all the other code. Think of which variables should appear closest to each other in an alphabetical list.

And avoid middle-endian or random-endian (or sentence-grammar-order-endian) like the plague. A variable name should probably not be a grammatically correct sentence.

Another really annoying linguistic naming smell is "smurfing," where all of class Smurf's instance variables have smurf_ prefixes. Or where all the classes, methods, or instance variables have an "xyz_" prefix where "xyz" is the name of the project or library. Arrgh!!!
is technical chart reading real? does it really yield
any results?
100% agree on this. State of the industry is bad because we put on layers and layers of rubbish to cover up the mess we started with dom and js and later decided we can introduce this pile of junk to everybody by inventing node.
Your mention of through-wall models reminded me: I've been wondering for a while why I can't get window-mounted heat pumps at a reasonable price. I recognize the limitations on insulation, but as I'm not yet at a spot in my renovation where I can do heat pumps comprehensively and seeing as how I'm looking for another air conditioner for the first floor of my house, buying one that's reversible seems like an obvious thing. (Maybe like that around-the-window Midea model? That seems kind of obvious to me, but I am not an engineer.)

This startup has a neat idea, and I hope to see more about it - https://www.gradientcomfort.com/ - but $2000 feels like it's not competitive.

And if anyone happens to know of one (and not an AC that will just do electric heat) available in the USA, I'd be grateful to hear about it. Amana will sell me one - for $1300 for 12K BTU, and that sounds...high.
Pedal Me is a British company. Not sure how the situation might differ there c.f. the USA.
It's a gradual change of possession over time, and each individual change of ownership is small to not trigger reassessment.

I use FreeCAD relatively often (once or twice a month) over the past 3 years and I can say with certainty that it is nowhere close to Blender in terms of quality or stability.

I've been keeping up with the latest versions, but even with all the bug fixes that go in I am more likely than not to have it segfault or lose its GL context or something else that causes it to crash. This isn't even hyperbole, I literally get 2 or 3 crashes at minimum per session, and when it happens it's rarely reproducible. I simply save after every couple of changes I make because I've just come to expect it to happen.

When it does work, I frequently run into problems like the infamous topological-naming-issue that, while I understand it is a difficult software problem to fix, I do not run into in the other CAD programs I've used. The only way to avoid these kinds of issues is to understand the underlying cause and then adjust your workflow so that you don't run into them.

The only reason I use it is because there's not really any other FOSS that fits the same niches. I did learn about SolveSpace and this blender plugin today though, so I'll probably take a look.
Our B2B SaaS apps are SPA and preload static assets in the background on the login screen, including the top 90% of used js, templates, and icons (simple to find via http log analysis). This improves the end-user perception of performance dramatically.

Accessibility with said SPAs is still a pain though. Even when you use correct semantic elements instead of DIV soup, the DOM usable by screen readers changes “out-of-order” frequently in SPAs, requiring lots of extra work to ensure an accessible experience.
I notice you left out the 'I think' from when you quoted me. That's how you were supposed to know it's not fiction, it's not a parlor trick, it's a thought. Kinda like brainstorming. Suggesting there is a 'trick' to what I'm writing implies (to me at least) that I'm attempting to deceive. I assure you I am not.

And since we're quoting each other, you opened with, "It might be the inverse. Someone not wanting to get out of bed in the morning projecting that view onto the world." I assure you I love getting out of bed. On the other hand, I kinda get the vibe the discussion you're having is a continuation of one you've had before with someone else and maybe you're projecting it on to me?

I checked out your profile and now I understand! Haha. Fun times. Thanks for the links.
> There's nothing preventing us from doing the same for other formats if they become commonly supported or expected. Much like SQLite and some of the tools cropping up.

True. I mean if it would be common to put source code and text into sqlite files, then most tools would probably also deal with it. However there is a case about simplicity. For instance writing a diff algorithm on plain text files is much simpler and easy to understand, than writing diff algorithms on text or binary structures.
In the Netherlands normal cycle commuters almost never exceed 15 km/h. But I keep watching some Dutch road cycling youtube channel and they all wear helmets.
Why don’t more people store all the uploaded files inside BLOBS in a relational database instead of a file system? What are the downsides?

I see the biggest downside being that the webserver will call your PHP app which will then proxy the data through itself one time. Well, maybe you can use ReactPHP or Swoole and then it’s faster than Node.js even…

Also you then have more programmable options, for example around access control lists or capabilities to access stuff, caching and expiring caches.

How does MySQL compre to ext3 for storing terabytes of data?

As a side note - what do y’all think of FUSE to Amazon S3? Just map a path to it and let it do the rest. GOOFYS I think skimps on the POSIX compliance in favor of speed.

Here is a excerpt from the article titled "Pedal Me bans staff riders from wearing helmets for safety reasons" by Rebecca Morley (no idea who she is or how to find her on google/linkedin) on 08/02/2022 at https://bikebiz.com/pedal-me-bans-staff-riders-from-wearing-...:

> Pedal Me has explained the reasons why it has banned staff riders from wearing helmets.

> In a Twitter thread, the pedal-powered passenger and cargo service said people that are taking risks that are sufficient that they feel they need to wear helmets are 'not welcome to work for us' – because its vehicles are heavy and could cause harm, and because they carry small children on the bikes.

> Instead, it said it systematically works to reduce risk at the source– by thorough risk assessment, a high level of training, and near-miss reporting.

> “We know that increasing helmet wearing rates make cycling more dangerous per mile – although there are confounding factors here, this indicates that overall they do not provide a strong protective effect in the round – otherwise the opposite effect,” said the company. “Extensive reading of the literature suggests that this is because while helmets definitely help in the event of a crash, that risk compensation results in more collisions. So riders wearing helmets take greater risks, and those driving around them take greater risks too.

> “A major cause of head injuries is going over the handlebars, which is not possible with a 3 metre long bike. Another thing that makes us unique is our training systems, maintenance systems, and ability to track poor rider behaviour.”

> [photo of twitter thread, the official place where all important things are said and done]

> Pedal me: People that are taking risks that are sufficient that they feel they need to wear helmets are not welcome to work for us - because our vehicles are heavy and could cause harm, and because we carry small children on our bikes.

> Clive Andrews: That would indeed be interesting to know. Compulsion is a bad idea - in either direction. What's the score, @pedalmeapp?

Instead - we systematically work to reduce risk.(1/n)

> Pedal Me said it observes that companies that use helmets while wearing cargo bikes seem to be ‘much more likely’ to jump red lights and take greater risks. The company said the majority of injuries to its riders occur off the bike, which it knows because of its near miss and incident reporting, and that’s its focus for tackling danger.

Not sure if sharing articles here is against the rules, please let me know.
I think most of the country gets a bad rep for regulation and initiatives and laws that don't have positive effect. My parents are in the crowd that want to leave California because of supposed "over-regulation". I was telling my father this morning about the Songs-Beverly Act (California's Lemon Law) which essentially protects products you buy for 7 years, giving you the right to repair them. I just sued my employer for not allowing me 2nd meal breaks (every 5 hours), rest breaks, and for not giving me proper/reasonable notice when making schedule changes. These are all things I didn't have when I worked a federal job. Btw, it's hilarious that you're not entitled to (just 1!) meal break at the federal level. California has excess regulation, but I wish people weighed it against the positives instead of assuming it's all red tape.

I think California deserves more praise for how it protects people. Net Neutrality is effectively upheld by state-by-state regulation, because the federal gov couldn't secure this for us.
Everybody ages at the same rate. I'd argue that society should care less about the superficial dermatological implications of sun exposure, if sun exposure is actually as good as this article claims.
That really depends on where you live. In many parts of the US, public transit is non-existent, and there isn't much within walking distance.
Are you sure you're not getting that from being outside, working out, etc.?
So I take it I'm supposed to feel guilty for something my ancestors did? Sorry but I don't. Take it as a warning that corps have government tied around their finger and have for centuries, sure I can agree with that. I looked up some other articles by the authors they all seemed to have a heavy handed opinion overlaid over what should be simple reporting, so take this article with a grain of salt.
> they’ll likely partially adapt to climate change occurring over the course of 50 years

We will adapt by moving indoors to controlled environment, but it's not like we will evolve. At some point, the global mammalian birth rate is going to plummet because it will be too hot for sperm. Mammals won't physiologically adapt to that in a mere 50 years, but those able to live in controlled temperature indoor environments should be able to continue procreating. But when prolific procreators' (such as rabbits and squirrels) populations plummet, we should not ignore it.

I really don't understand why we can't stop Global Warming... now. The contributors to Climate Change are not typical citizens, it's instead various industries. Why are we more concerned about those industries, construction, glass, shipping, energy, than we are about the human global population (and all the other living things)?
You want molecular dynamics. They are simulations, not real images. But otoh (visible) light rays are "about as big" as a very large protein, so you can't image them. And because of computational expense they're slow motion by necessity, which is good because very, very complex enzyme interactions means ~2-3000 interactions per second.

It would in any sane system… which is to say, not in California.

Here’s something to really blow your mind: After Prop 13 was passed, some subsequent Propositions made property tax rate inheritable. That’s right, your kids and grandkids can inherit your below-market property tax rate.

We have come full circle and returned to the system of landed nobility (with special tax privileges) that a war was fought to leave.
Is this some personal vendetta against HN :) ?

I strongly believe that this HN thingy is one of the best things that I came across in the internet. Maybe I had bad luck but after slashdot, reddit and dig have gone down the drains this is a real godsend.

TL;DR: As a web dev of 13+ years I not only failed miserably on these types of coding tests/interviews, but fail to see how they accurately display one's ability to do a job UNLESS it is specifically optimizing algorithms every day.

I just want to add that I 100% agree with OP: many companies put too much into LeetCode type testing and interviewing.

I have been a web developer - so not advanced in algorithms or LeetCode type stuff to begin with - for the past 13+ years. in 2021 I resigned from my employer due to burn out, took 10 months off, and started looking for an employer again.

Many interviews for "web developers" and "wordpress developers" required me to take a LeetCode type test, which I bombed repeatedly. One company I really wanted to work for asked me to retake the test in 30 days. I spent the next 30 days in the pockets of time I found available trying to go through LeetCode challenges and wrap my mind around these algorithms. Many times I could "solve" the problem my way with my own experience and knowledge, but not LeetCode's way, so my scores were poor.

Fast forward 30 days, I retook the potential employer's test, and got a 14%...they advised I should re-apply again for 2 years. LOL. It was so comical I had to email them that the process didn't allow me to display my 13 years of experience at all, and the testing challenges in no way reflected what I knew as a web developer.

In the end I took a different position for a vastly greater salary than they were offering.
Look at the prices of paypal, square, netlix, roblox, affirm, coinbase, etc they are all down at least 70% from 6 months ago with some down 90%, if that is not a full meltdown I don't know what is :)
Q&A: The truth about show biz, according to Javier Grillo-Marxuach (2016)
This video [0] is from February 2012, but as far as I know this tool is not yet implemented (or at least it is not widely used).

Basically as you are writing a function, you can write sample input for it, and it tells you the intermediate value of each variable inside this function, which lets you reason about the code, makes it trivial to know you've done something wrong, and would make developing a much more interactive experience overall.

In my experience, this is done by hand when writing a function, but a tool like this would make it automatic.

It's certainly a slippery slope. You will find people who object to "their taxes" being used to do search and rescue, provide wilderness medical treatment, etc. for activities that they consider unreasonably dangerous, e.g. winter hiking up even fairly moderate mountains.
The value is more hobby-ish, I like learning languages with different syntactic structures, it builds out the types of abstractions that I can hold in my head. But I also like what I spend time on in this way to potentially have some practical utility if I ever needed to ramp up my level of knowledge quickly.

But if it's libraries are matured as you say then I suppose I could easily learn a bit the next time I have to write a small utility or one-off project. It has a reputation for data processing so I could probably port a small python project to it to dip my toes in a bit.
Yeah if I still lived in Seattle area and drove to work I’d want an automatic.

As it is I don’t deal with traffic so a manual is a more fun “tool” to drive.
