It is not only javascript, the entire world of programming lacks things that just work like other non-programmer’s apps do. Most people are smart enough to automate their everything when given a set of decent tools, but instead they have to rely on smartasses who speak 90% buzzword religion and only get a vague idea of what the requirements are, cause they are mostly specialized in being themselves. I hope this “industry” will break under its weight some day and we will realize that our daily topics are irrelevant to homes and businesses. Modules vs non-modules vs node vs browser is a bullshit that should not exist, but it does, for stupidest reasons. One of them is being “amazed” by obviously average-to-questionable parts of our stacks.
Do they plan to live in a tent after they 'used' the house and sold it? Because if they plan to buy a new house to replace the one they sold, they haven't made any money. And if they want to upgrade, they lost money and the price difference will have increased.

The only case where you benefit from rising hoise prices is if all of your income comes from owning property, rather than working a job - i.e. you are a major landowner.

If you are doing anything economically productive, from running a business to working a job, houae prices are a blood-sucking vampire squid.
I think the lake effect requires air which is colder than the water. The lowermost level of air warms and accepts water vapor, which immediately rises, re-freezes, and is entrained as ice and blown out onto land. Lake-effect precipitation does form over seas, but you need the air temperature above the surface layer to fall below zero.

As for the rain in Saudi Arabia, there is a mountain range along the coast south of Mecca, and I think the area gets rain because of orographic uplift. When the wind blows across the Red Sea it does pick up a lot of moisture, just not enough to cause rain, because the air is so hot and can hold so much moisture overall. But it gets forced up over the mountains, cools, and passes saturation humidity, and the excess water becomes rain. You can see where the mountain range ends on an annual precipitation map of SA.

Sorry to rain on your parade.
"Economists want real time data" --> "They are controlling our toughts!"

1) Please - enough with they hyperbole.

Data is not the same as control.

Yes - we should be wary, we don't want the government using our money to nudge us.

At the same time we definitely want our governments using data to help us.

There was a story in Canada about the government buying anonymoized cell tower data to understand our behaviours during a pandemic, misrepresented as 'they are trying to control us' - which is a disingenuous lie.

Literally we're faced with a pandemic, we want to get rid of restrictions, the best way to do that is to know where and how COVID is spreading. We wouldn't bat an eye if some garbage advertising company bought that data.

2) "Government backed electronic money is utterly dystopian to me. I"

Hyerbole.

You already use 'Government Backed Electronic Money' - that the way it works and it works fine.

It's 1000% better than 'Ponzi Scheme Money 80% Owned by Elon Musk' or 'Google Controlled Money'.

And FYI - the 'Government Backed Money' we use today flows through VISA network and they are 100% selling every bit of your data to anyone who will buy.

What you probably want is even stronger regulation of 'Gov Money' so that private entities cannot trace, transact or sell, i.e. even better privacy laws.

And maybe some kind of legislation that forbids the Central Bank from doing anything other than targeting inflation/employment.
Yes, but only one of them will receive the message.
I haven't used it, but the page lists "The latest Intel Wi-Fi 6E chipset" so I would run under the assumption that it works fine.

It's the chipset that you would need to ensure compatibility with, unfortunately I can't find anything concrete on the actual chipset used, Intel only has 3 wifi 6E chipsets and as far as I can tell (from here https://venzux.com/intel-ax411-vs-ax211-vs-ax210-wi-fi-6e-mo...) they should all be compatible with Linux.

Housing prices are affected by monetary and psychological aspects just like the stock market and inflation are.

It is long past time for channel-binding of bearer credentials. It's unconscionable we as engineering professionals allow the total sum of security controls of a system to constantly be reduced to a string humans pass around.
No, it wouldn't. You'd be making exchanges irrelevant and you will be creating the opportunity for the growth of a parallel economy.

I can even tell you exactly how it could be done. Take Hub20 [0]. Currently, it is meant to work as a "run-your-own crypto bank" and is only focused on ethereum networks, but it would be almost trivial to add support for banking networks like SEPA (EU) or Pix (Brazil). Given that it works with the assumption that users inside the same instance trust each other, I could setup an instance for myself and add accounts for people that I know personally. Someone in my network could have an account on another instance, and that would be enough to establish a mesh network of unlicensed exchanges.

Now that I am thinking about it, you are almost making me wish that we would ban crypto exchanges. ;)

If you stand with Ukraine, consider either Raytheon or Lockheed Martin, as it's a joint venture of those two companies that makes the FGM-148 Javelin.

Or, for the stage the war is now entering, consider instead cranking out M777 howitzers with BAE Systems, either in Barrow-in-Furness, UK (parts), or in Hattiesburg, MS (assembly).

This is actually the frame of reference I've taken to giving most folks. Zig is to C what Rust is to C++ in my mind. Is there a lot of overlap between all 4? Absolutely. But devs still choose C over C++ (and Rust) in some cases, and I think it'll be similar for Zig
I think the methodological flaw here is the assumption that nominal housing prices are elastic. Housing expenses fell over the last ~30 years as interest rates fell, however it's highly unlikely that the reverse will hold true to the same tune. If interest rates go to 10%, people will stop trading housing rather than take a nominal hit and be under water on a mortgage.

This means that as interest rates rise, housing expenses may spike - forcing employees to demand more money. Given the size of the housing budget in many households, this effect could be surprisingly strong.

The worst of both worlds: Analysis of errors learning from data in psych. and ML [pdf]
This was all part of the plan to build a nation of mindless debt slaves. It was very effective.
In a nutshell:

> The price of the home has risen by 20 percent, so you could just say the cost of housing has gone up 20 percent. But that would be misleading. Assuming a 20 percent down payment, your original mortgage would have cost $2,502 per month, while the new owner’s mortgage would cost $2,489 per month. The monthly mortgage payment required to own the home actually went down.

Falling interest rates have kept houses affordable at inflated prices. Because most housing is purchased with debt, the change reflects the reality that most owners are paying off a mortgage. The change made by government prevents interest rate fluctuations from interfering with the CPI calculation.

Over time, the change resulted in less volatility of the CPI, but no major changes when viewed from a multi-year perspective.
Like my grandfather used to say, "if you feel froggy, then leap, boy"
I strongly suspect that we have stopped trying to reduce bloat. The cost in engineering time cannot be sustained. As a dev I can't even afford the time to optimize my local development machine to reduce bloat.

Ok now I'm confused. Is it possible you are both correct but your understanding are from different points in time where microcode based ops have been used more over time? i.e would the GPs comment be correct for a specific, older generation of intel x86, and yours perhaps be more applicable to newer generations?
That is awesome. Great insights can born from cross pollination.
You are correct, but the exact ping times (to the ground station) is 6.7ms for Starlink (if directly above) or 10-15ms just for the link.

For geostationary, it is 400ms if you are on the equator, and 450ms if you are north/south. Realistically it is about 600ms from what I have seen in Europe.

While Musk is a controversial character it should be noted that Slate is owned by Bezos (and formerly by Gates) and may not be the most reliable source on this on this topic since Musk and Bezos battle each other in several realms and are not friends.
There isn't such a thing as "secure/private email" because its design was not conceived with such things even in mind. The "secure" solutions like Protonmail are something other than email, which is probably the way forward, but I wish it was done without twisting language giving others a false sense of security and understanding.
People bring this up all the time because they see the consumer utility of an open marketplace for loyalty systems but fail to realize that the open marketplace breaks the economics of the program and makes it not worth it to the issuer.
"It's just too much work for me to figure out how to use Linux"

This is the crux, really. I'm adept at server administration, and have used Linux there for decades, but on the desktop it is, from my POV, pretty much a dumpster fire of bad usability.

Had Apple not gone to OS X 20 years ago, I suspect desktop Linux would be materially further along, but with a well-designed and well-supported commercial *nix OS in the market that ships married to bespoke hardware, there's materially less motivation to make desktop Linux better for people who won't want to have to tinker to make things work.
> His contention is that it doesn't so restricting money supply isn't a solution.

Restricting money supply may not be the solution. I don't think the author claims that restricting money supply can't be a part of the solution and a major part even. If he does, we have evidence to the contrary - 1980s in US. The inflation variation was even bigger then.
Convince or not, I'm thinking you might attract some really personal attention from law enforcement by the time you made your pitch to the 5th kid.

Or maybe you happen to be a 97-year-old retired nun, who everyone in your neighborhood knows, and it'd be fine. Not trying to be judgemental or anything.
Maybe not arrested, but you are pretty likely to have an unpleasant interaction with the police at a minimum if you're walking up to kids and asking them to come with you. Honestly the best way to do this (as in least likely to interact with the police) in the U.S. would be to hire actors -- which would feel awfully scummy to me, but that's honestly the safest way to do it.

Now, if it asked you to buy some pizzas and just hand them to some less fortunate kids, you could probably do that without interacting with the police. You'd still need to be careful, but it could probably be done.

No, they sound like someone who learned about the US from internet memes, but doesn’t have firsthand experience. For example, hospitals in the US do not generally collect payment at the time of treatment so it wouldn’t really make much sense to show up to one and try to pay for someone needing urgent medical care
Thanks for writing that up. It was always pretty clear the Shadowstats methodology was the simple application of some constant factor, and Shadowstats was more an instrument to talk about how the government measures inflation (and changes its own methodology) than anything else.

Anybody remember the 2008 Blackberry Storm, the company's iPhone competitor? It had a "clickable" glass panel, to bridge the UX gap between the tactile KB BlackBerry phones and the touchscreen-only Storm.

> usually because the stove comes integrated on top of the oven

In the US this is the norm in cheaper, smaller kitchens and especially rental units but becomes less common in larger kitchens with built-in ovens. Its not like counter top stoves are the "baseline", its just a common arrangement as well as all-in-one ranges. Sometimes cars have two doors, sometimes they have four.

See these kitchens with a separate stove:
https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/6e40a3a3/dms3rep/multi/k...

And these kitchens with a combined oven+stove:

https://cf.ltkcdn.net/interiordesign/images/orig/273067-1600...
https://static.onecms.io/wp-content/uploads/sites/37/2020/11...

Both styles are pretty common in the US, it all depends on the layout of your kitchen. In my home, the oven is built in to a wall higher up off the ground with multiple drawers underneath. The stove is separate and on top of a large counter with lots of drawers underneath. Having knobs on the face of the range is less safe in a house with kids, its way easier for them to manipulate the knobs on the face than knobs on the top. Plus, having knobs on the face would mean I'd lose the wide, shallow drawer with all my quick cooking utensils right at the very top of the stove area. It would have to be several inches lower, making it less convenient. The controls on the top also make it easier to see and adjust the controls instead of having the controls be lower and pointed at my crotch. So there are positives to having the controls on the top. Like lots of things, there are tradeoffs either way.

Having touch controls on the top of the range is a nice feature for my kitchen. My experience would be worse if the controls were dials mounted where my most used kitchen drawer is currently, and would put my house in more danger from kids having easier access to them.

In the US, employers are only required to recognize majority unions, which are formed by a majority of employees in what we call a “bargaining unit” and legally granted both the right and obligation to represent everyone in that unit. They can be formed through an election or through what’s happening here, where the company voluntarily recognizes that the union has majority support. Employees are free to form smaller “minority unions” but employers don’t have to talk to that kind of union if they don’t want to.
I am surprised people on hackernews still don't seem to understand that, on the whole, happy Linux users are a self-selecting group based on their own skills, understanding and tolerances.

I'm not saying that people don't have good experiences with Linux desktops. I'm saying that those experiences are still nowhere near universal, especially when you start to involve people who aren't really power users. The most common desktop environments are still wildly inconsistent at best and frequently an accessibility nightmare at worst. Trying to work out whether a given piece of hardware will be well supported (or supported at all!) is difficult. Resolving package manager conflicts, handling non-free firmwares, building and managing kernel modules, these things are _not trivial_. That's before we've even addressed the software that people are often forced to give up. I use a Linux desktop frequently and there are papercuts _everywhere_.

I'm really not sure where this prevailing mentality that you can just install Linux and ride off into the sunset comes from.

I have used SQS in the parent's suggested fashion for many years. I feel like your points are overstated. Visibility timeout's "main point" is not to only handle failure nor do the AWS docs themselves state that.

> there's no way to ensure that message isn't just processed again by Consumer1 instead of Consumer2!

Correct, but this isn't the job of the pipe. Smart endpoints, dumb pipes.
Sure. Those are examples of cars that post-date many of the significant longevity improvements (galvanizing, better primers, electronic fuel injection, ABS) that are helping to drive up the average age. You can think of that 1998 Range Rover as offsetting one 2022 car to result in the average of just over 12 years.

Our 2005 CR-V and 2015 LEAF also offset each other to arrive at the average age.

Longevity improvements introduced 25 years ago pull the average age up far more strongly than improvements introduced only 10 years ago and an improvement introduced just last year has an effect indistinguishable from zero.

Is this actually happening in Europe? The US is the exact opposite. It's rather trivial to improve rural areas and housing costs are outpacing urban areas at least in percentage increases. Most rural areas still have access to all the basics that urban areas provide and are only a couple hours drive from major urban centers. There's no public transport but no one cares about that in the US. Even in the largest cities it is generally lacking. Highspeed internet is widely available with even more being deployed currently. Pretty much everyone is getting fiber in the next 3 years and 5g is already in most areas. Only the extreme rural areas lack connectivity and then there is starlink.
