>This seems a very short sighted attitude to me, like saying that there is no time for testing, there are too many bugs to fix.

It is. The priority for a programmer goes: make it work -> make it fast -> make it clean. And you either have time for all three of those, or you don't. Generally in reality though, when dealing with business needs and product managers, the pipeline becomes: make it work -> alright now make this work -> alright now also make this work.

I agree with OP, and I think we are just arguing semantics, not substance. If we had a way to measure objective merit, things would be great, but today's measures confound merit and "being born in a family of sufficient means to invest in your merit". I am saying we are arguing about semantics because depending on how you define the word "merit" in the previous sentence, it becomes either trivially tautologically true, or contradictory. To avoid this my phrasing would be "any practical form of meritocracy, while better than the alternatives, would involve enormous amounts of classism". Maybe better social safety nets and public education can help fix this issue.

Honestly to me the most important piece is the willingness and ability to try new things and work under certainty. I have seen first hand time and time again that it is easier for someone who is good at this to learn how to code when the rubber hits the road than it is for someone who knows how to code but isn't comfortable learning on the fly to learn a new python library fast enough to work with the team.

On a super short timescale with no testing feedback loop, 99% of "algorithms" questions are "Have you encountered this thing before" shit tests in practice, rather than meaningful tests of problem-solving skills, and do not effectively test whether someone will be effective. This is to me a classic Goodhart's Law + policy problem: One can easily assess the answer to an algorithm problem, so it's popular as an assessment and becomes pervasive. Goodhart's Law predicts the next part
If you can centralized the cooling in a few higher efficiency locations, and minimize heat transportation related power usage, you'll save on power.
I think there's a big reliance on the part of these employers in recruiting and retaining employees who are either less literate, less informed, more gullible, or more servile than the average service industry worker.
I worked with an API like this once, which streamed NDJSON one line at a time. I loved the amount of control that it gave me on the client side!
I'm not proposing an entire city inhabited by a single income bracket. I'm talking about neighborhoods as much smaller areas, as a rough definition "all the places I can walk to in 10-15 minutes".

I think I see your point though. at a high level, the neighborhood composition could be optimized for everyone to walk to work (wide range of incomes), or for everyone to walk to everything outside work (narrow range of incomes), but not both. or there's the US suburb approach where no one can walk to anything.

imo, assuming you're reasonably connected to work by transit, quality of life maximized by the latter arrangement (homogeneous incomes at the lowest level of organization). even if it's a little inconvenient, I will figure out how to get to work everyday. outside of work, a little inconvenience is the difference between doing or not doing all kinds of spontaneous activities.
So I'm coming at this from a Postgres POV, IIRC MySQL can take some shortcuts for COUNT(*). Constraining the query will help but counting is expensive as a sequential table scan is always required.

Meanwhile I can only think of one use case for pagination with exact row counts – a user facing application. If you're preallocating storage you can get by with an estimate. If you're consuming an API and want something from near the end you can flip the sort order.

> We can't raise interest rates because we need to protect asset prices for the rich...

Raising interest rates is literally what Powell is proposing, and has already started carrying out.

Higher interest rates have other effects too. It reduces access to, and increases the cost of, working capital for businesses. This reduces growth and cuts into how much they can spend on employees and will reduce salaries.

> ... and don't want to pay more interest at the government level or on the $8T borrowed in the last decade ...

This is also backwards. High inflation allows the government to get out of paying off the national debt. The national debt has in real-dollar terms gone down significantly in the last two years. [edit] (Debt-to-GDP ratio is down 10% since 2020.)

> Yeah, that's what's best for America.

[edit] In my opinion leaving interest rates low and letting the market set prices of goods where supply meets demand, and incentivizing adding new supply, is the right thing to do. But hey, I'm not on the Fed board, so what do I know.

You're proposing to construct a regulatory scheme to reach a different equilibrium. Why? What's wrong with the market equilibrium?

In the context of cars, arguably nothing.

In the original context of real estate, all kinds of things, because having somewhere to live is essential to quality of life and reserving more of the finite real estate available for development for a few luxury homes means a lot more regular homes that could house a lot more families can't be built there instead.
I can tell you one group they're not talking about: People who work at the Federal Reserve.
It's mostly a demand shock, not a supply shock[0]. The supply chains are busted mostly because of unprecedented demands. But considering that most normal people spend just about all of their money each month, and with personal savings rates below where they were before CO-VID and credit levels rising, either inflation ends by itself or the demand as it turns out, is coming from the wealthy looking to shelter their cash in safe commodities during the recession and away from bubbled assets.

I once had uber x drives (that’s what the solo is called right?) in San Diego going… at least 5 miles. Sorrento Valley/La Jolla.

After a month or two I started having rides discounted to literally as low as $3.12

All I could think was that “somebody is definitely losing a lot of money here & it’s not me”

Was very interesting. I know the driver wouldn’t be doing that if he was making $3 for the trip.

My municipality's NIMBY calling cards for proposed new development are "if dense housing is built, traffic will be even worse!", "more housing development could mean overcrowded schools!" and "what about our precious open space that some residents treat as garbage dumps and allow overgrowth of invasive species in?"
This is a bit inaccurate I think. You can make a RESTful api over gRPC. The protocol is irrelevant. An open connection is not a violation of statelessness. If anything, a streaming API where you can close the cursor upon completion and treat new requests as fully new is a lot less stateful.

We're also talking about APIs in general, not just http REST.

>It's still multiple requests on a streaming API

Perhaps, but the requests can be pipelined. You don't need to wait for the response to complete before asking for more.
It could also be seen as a very convoluted way to subsidize the car industry and to stall the push for better public transit.
You don't need a work visa to drive an Uber.

The bottom is where most people are. The spending of the 1% isn't really driving inflation of consumer goods and food, it's the spending of the bottom 80% who have extra cash from recently higher wages and stimulous checks. There isn't a job around here that pays less than about $15/hr now, even entry level McDonalds is paying 16 year-olds that. That's a lot more, almost double what they were paying pre-COVID.
PaperSpace has improved a lot in the last few months. I've been using them nearly exclusively recently and have had zero issues.

We have to rationally debate this to death which means to present both sides as having equally valid arguments until we grow tired and give up so that nothing changes. Really though, once I hear the "Actually, this is good for wage earners" argument, I know which side has won.

I always see people coming back to public transit in discussions like this, but there seems to be some kind of fundamental disconnect. Uber/Lyft are for people who don’t have that kind of time.

It's not just the billionaires that are going to be affected by this. Homeowners, 401K retirees, state pensions, etc, all depend on asset prices trending upward.

All of this QE policy started with Bernanke in the wake of the '08 GFC.

Right now the Fed has to choose between raising rates high enough to stop inflation (probably double digits) and in the process cause a depression in all asset markets or tepidly walk back the tightening and embrace stagflation (in which case, asset markets will go down in real terms, but not in nominal terms).

Either way, I believe we are near the end (<10 years) of the line for the USD reserve fiat regime.
We arguably have a demand crisis as well, because we’re at full employment. At full employment, as more people get income, they are willing to pay more for goods. We see this in the housing market and the car market right now. This is textbook economics, and sure, there are new variables taking part in the game (wall street speculators buying homes as investments), but everything else is pretty by the books (low interest rates, rising inflation).

The big question is if the fed can tighten monetary policy without crashing the economy.
> I'm not sure why you're holding it up as a good example.

Because it has the regulatory requirements I detailed in my post for housing developers.

> The UK is well known for unaffordable, poor-quality housing

And houses in the states aren't poor quality? Do builders over there even know what bricks are?

Freeholds in some areas have a reputation for being unaffordable, sure. I'm not so sure that the shared ownership and affordable rent properties I refer to have this reputation, but it is clear that there's not nearly enough housing stock for demand.

Quality is definitely variable across all housing stock, but I'm not sure I'd say all new builds are of a poor quality.
What does the author mean by counterculture? They don't define what a counterculture is, or why it is either good or bad to have one, before listing their suspected symptoms of it.

Rather than one monolithic counterculture, there are lots of small signs of divergent movements I would call true counterculture. LGBT, veganism, youth culture like tiktok. There's also harmful ones like the alt-right, antivax, and conspiracy theory movements.

These two lines here:

"Creative work is increasingly embedded in genres that feel rigid, not flexible"

"Even avant-garde work often feels like a rehash of 50-60 years ago"

High wages equals high costs if you go for protectionism or accelerated offshoring leading to unemployment if you don’t. There’s no magic wand here, everything is a trade off.

The big bang happened everywhere. Space is not a fixed size nor infinite emptiness into which the big bang poured matter. Space itself expanded from near nothing to the universe we have today. The big bang wasn't a matter grenade it was the expansion of everything including space itself from nearly infinitely small to current state.

This means that the tip of your nose, a distant mountaintop, Olympus Mons on Mars and indeed a distant galaxy were all the same space.

Imagine a balloon blowing up with an ant on it. The ant can only walk so fast but the balloon can blow up expanding the space between ants in a way that is in no way limited by ant walking speed.

Now that we are so separated it takes so long for light to get to us that we can only see the light that left billions of years ago from our frame of reference
Ask HN: US-based non-enterprise programming conferences?
What are some US-based conferences for people interested in software or computer science?

- not focused on enterprise and big business (at least not as a primary focus)

- mostly focused on topics in software, computer science, and programming languages (and not computer hardware, hardware makers/hackers, and so on)

- preferably with a strong component of bringing people together in person to share some kind of passion, project, or personal interest

Suggestions?

Allowing inflation to go unchecked will eventually lead to a recession anyways. Raising rates to control inflation is about mitigating inevitable economic damage. In theory you should have a shorter & less severe recession by doing this.
> Internalizers do the opposite. They will place immense burdens upon themselves to unrealistically adapt and change when most people would confront the challenge directly.

This blew my mind. Thank you for that.
>> There's simply not enough gas right now for everyone. So you can either reduce demand, or you can increase supply.

Biden can increase fuel supply by approving pipelines or allowing more drilling on federal land. This would help the poor and laborer class. But he won't.
Of course its good for people who have to work. No need for a family. Or kids. Think of all the productivity and amazing work you'll create!
The government encouraging investment in producing new supplies (either through state-owned firms, or oil investment incentives like what the UK gov't is trying to do) probably is a good thing to do, independently of interest rates. Those targeted policies seem like the right thing to do versus super low interest rates, which sometimes fuel speculative bubbles.

Agree that prices will eventually stabilize even if the Fed doesn't tighten (as long as they don't keep expanding). The government only printed so much money, so that when nominal GDP grows it'll have to hit a ceiling.
This is a really trash article. It's really biased--the economist they interview is part of this group: https://internationalmanifesto.org/

Not to attack his credentials, but I think the website picked him to comment on things for a reason. Clicking around the website has a bunch of other questionable material, at least from a neutrality perspective. It is an interesting perspective nevertheless, but not without bias.

That said, i think they removed some important context from the fed's position.

What the chair of the fed is saying is that they want to moderate demand. Less demand means fewer open positions at companies. Fewer open positions means the labour market is not so tight, and so not such an (increasingly) high premium needs to be paid for labour.

Without having to blow out the budget to hire people because you're so desperate, you don't have as raise prices so much to compensate.

He's not talking about getting companies to cut wages. He wants to cut wage growth because it feeds into (in his opinion, mind you) spiraling wages.

You can read the original transcription here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/transcript-fed-chief-powells-po...

To tangentially answer your question: they want to do this because high inflation impacts the working class the most. They need price stability. I don't necessarily disagree mind you that corporate greed is fueling inflation more than minimum wage, but it's probably a both thing versus one or the other.

If you host it yourself, or use their dedicated enterprise clusters then you still have instances which are individual (virtual) servers.

The serverless model has no instances exposed to you and instead is a multitenant architecture that uses a pool of shared compute nodes with a routing layer that intercepts and introspects your connection to load up your specific database context for query processing.
Interest rates (if capital is harder for companies to find they will hire less, pay less, and maybe even layoff folks because... they have less money on hand) and more government bonds (private entities putting their money into bonds removes dollars from the economy)
I'd argue they know pretty well who it impacts and who it does not.
It's not ignorance that leads the fed to take actions which affect the lowest earners more than the higher earners.
If Ampere ever became available, it would make sense for all businesses to host non-realtime work loads on-prem. You might not even notice a change in your electric bill.
It would seem he got it exactly in reverse: the vacancies are up because wages are too low compared to the demands of the labor force which is still available, those people prefer to retire/have a baby/a sabbatical etc. etc. instead of working, because the price point being offered for their time is not attractive. Reducing wages will not solve this problem, but exacerbate it.

What he's actually doing by increasing interest rates is reducing agregate demand, price action goes down, labor demand and vacancies drop and consequently businesses can pay lower wages without fear of losing employees.

So the interest hike is a direct action against inflation while the wage drop is a side effect, not the intended mechanism of action. Inflation can be controlled via interest rates even if, say for contractual or legal reasons, wages stay up. Unlike the case of a recession - that is prolonged by inflexible wages on the way down.
