It's true that I don't trust the permanence of online resources, usually with good reason. But I can also be a bit of a digital hoarder. My IRC logs, for instance, go all the way back to 1999. It's funny because in meatspace I'm extremely tidy and don't keep any garbage. I have a single wardrobe with shelves of computer parts (mostly cables, wires and screws) and a few old CDs.

I have nothing from before April 26, 1999, the date when the Chernobyl virus destroyed my hard drive and wiped out all of kid me's QBasic programs (what a loss for humankind). Kid me could not afford the storage space for backups, nor did he have the discipline anyway.

I took two things away from this article:

1. That was a lot of solid foundation-building and buildup to get to "Nope, the real answer is hierarchical rank. Which is sort of ill-defined, sure, and there's not a lot of good data out there to support it, but, yep, hierarchical rank. Definitely"

2. Isn't hierarchical rank as the author appears to be defining it more of an effect with lots of potential causes than it is a usefully-defining trait in and of itself? It's not really news that people in high-level, high-paying jobs make the most money. This seems about as useful as saying there's a correlation between owning expensive exotic cars and high income. Sure, it's true, but so what?
So no internet on that plan?

Bruh I live in a so-called third world country and no such restricted thing exists.

Electricity grid is more an affect of extreme tropical weather. The Americans come here and point at messes of coils of wire on every pole - like yeah that's how we make it repaired fast when a tropical storm hits.

You can publish to an SNS topic with an SQS queue subscribing to it and invoking your lambda. This provides durability and allows you to configure other nice things like dead-lettering for any message that fails in lambda. You can survive some pretty massive outages with a setup like this. Oh and also, as of recently you can re-drive messages in your dead-letter queue to a source queue via SQS console.
Your airplane analogy is not what Intel CPUs do in practice.

A better analogy:

An airplane takes off at full power, reaches cruising speed, but its engines have overtaxed themselves and can't maintain altitude. The place descends to a suboptimal altitude until the engines can turn back on, and raise the plane back to the altitude it's supposed to cruise at.

Your CPU explanation is technically correct:

> A CPU uses max power until it reaches its max operating temperature, then it maintains that temperature operating at lower power.

Yep, this is a very high-level explanation of what CPUs do. The trouble with Intel processors today is that they use max power for too long, and have to throttle so heavily to "maintain that temperature operating at lower power" that you can notice the latency when the CPU downclocks. An ideal operating curve wouldn't use max power for so long that it causes obvious latency issues to an end user. That's why I have Turbo Boost disabled on my laptops -- the few seconds of "max power" it yields just aren't worth the massive downclock while the CPU cools down. Better to set a more conservative power level that doesn't get in my way. This is especially noticeable if you use emulation or a beefy IDE like Android Studio that turbo boosts your computer to a high temperature in the first few seconds of use, then turns text editing and code suggestions into a sluggish slideshow for the next few minutes because the CPU has downclocked. Or maybe I'm just imagining that?

> This conversation started with you tearing down thousands of expert electrical engineers who make Intel CPUs.

Did I say anything bad about the engineers? I have lots of disparaging things to say about the way Intel works as a business, mostly based around how product and sales operate. I think the engineers at Intel do the best they can under the constraints of a poorly run company. But there's a reason engineering talent has been fleeing for the better part of a decade.
> Maybe not technically but if the US or EU would ban any business activities related to crypto currencies, the entire ecosystem would collapse.

You won't be able to track people who have and use crypto if the people who use it do it correctly.

> Even if they continue to exist for black market purposes, their real-world usefulness would decline substantially.

I'll agree with you there, but I do not believe most governments will legislate a full ban.
Policy is defined by whoever writes the laws and decides their content, not so much by who votes on them.

PR is definitely an improvement on FPTP, which is hugely biased towards the Establishment.

But it's still very vulnerable to well-funded PR and influencing campaigns.

Real democracy is difficult and precarious. Solutions have to be systemic covering not just politics but also law, the civil service, education at all levels, the media, the military and police, and ownership of key public assets.
Bell has been using this as an excuse for decades now while barely providing any services to rural areas. More than 90 percent of Canadians live within 150 miles of the US border in areas that are networked. Apparently, this 90 percent is paying for infrastructure that does not exist.

> The reason was simple. Most of the politically powerful Japanese companies are huge conglomerates who make a lot of money in heavy industry areas

There is also the fact that both companies were early innovators in making gasoline engines much more efficient with things like (non plug-in) hybrid drivetrains, so they have an interest in pushing gas focused technology.
One of my thoughts (see my profile) is "library mesh". You could register your code (or the parts that integrate) as a reverse dependency on what you depend on and they should build your code as part of their build to see if anything breaks.

Refactoring breaks everything - just look at Python 2 to Python 3. Part of the problem is having a bill of materials and having accurate tracing of the ingredients of a build, such as reproducible builds. But the time investment in these is hard work.

Computers are good at cross referencing. If you indexed everything in a graph database. It should be a simple graph Search to find dependencies of a git commit hash, binary sha256 installer file. And a web of sha256 relationships. And mapping between them and commit shas. It would be useful for security too but also interested in things being robust and reliable. Like you say it's a monorepository but not one.

Tooling is what's needed

The python packaging experience and ruby bundler and npm and other version manager experiences simply leads to common breakage.

Canada wants to maintain a domestic industry, in part to not be held to the whims of another country's governing body. When the people that control your information flow, your food production, etc. are not within your jurisdiction, you're effectively at the mercy of both them and the government of their country.

The utility of reuse is clear, but how often is it actually necessary to "reuse" a connection to an address that's not in the DNS for the hostname you're trying to connect to, as here? Seems like it would be very rare.
This is not really true. Yes, there are economies of scale to be had, but if you're talking landmass of Canada, then the primary cost is laying fiber, which tends to be a one-time cost (some caveats there) almost entirely subsidized by the government.

Telcos can then expand networks in cities, towns, regions, based on expected utilization (some of which is also subsidized.) Most of the costs here are operational: management, maintenance, customer support, however there are also costs associated with customer premisis equipment, aggregation hardware, copper/fiber to the homes. (These are not associated with the total landmass of Canada.)

Telecom providers in Canada are extremely monopolistic, very aggressive in keeping competitors at bay (if anyone remembers the huge full-page ads that the big Canadian providers put out when Verizon was planning on entering Canada -- "Americans are going to take our jobs!!!".)

That's basically saying u can't hold on to ur hard earned money after paying taxes. Give it to the government or some pension firm. And depend on the government and incompetent regulators to take care of you in your old age.
Depends on where other tech gets to.

Everything from COVID to guns demonstrates without a shard of doubt that society is happy with the "let people die as long as it doesn't impact me" option. So climate change ends in technological transformation or war.

We will end up with geoengineering if various cleantech companies fail or just develop too slowly. If the geoengineering fails, we get war.

The value of a worker 50 years ago is surely far less to me today than it was to his employers back then. Yet if we had deflation his work would be worth more today than back then. Why should I value a road builder’s work today when that road has been tore up 10x over since then?

> Thus central banks cannot control inflation in a global market.

This is simply false. What a central bank can affect, in the long run, is the average level of prices(including wages) denominated in the currency they control, even globally. Inflation in the price level of other currencies, on the other hand, is mostly irrelevant to a particular central bank.

It is true that central banks cannot control a relative change in prices of energy or any other single good, but that isn't even their goal.
I also personally think CUE hits a sweet spot. The union (pun intended) between types and values (both sets) is really a game changer!

CUE is indeed not trivial to implement, especially its intricate semantics are tricky. I work an a CUE alternative, called ReSeT to really understand the semantics better.

If so then I probably would continue training and being paid while looking for a job. If not - then I would stop the training (as you said they are worthless without the extra experience of working after) and look for a new job.

Unfortunately once a company says that you "may need to find a new job" it's almost certain that you will need to.

Ask HN: How can you buy high quality healthcare?
I've been dealing with a serious health issue that is a major problem in my life, I am in constant pain, I can barely work. My experience with the US healthcare system has been abysmal - I go to a doctor, the doctor sends me to get tests, it's 3 weeks, after that another 3 weeks to see a specialist, 3 weeks more for more tests, etc, etc. I've been ping-ponged around for 4 months with little progress in terms of diagnosis.

I'm sure that there is a way to buy better healthcare. Surely Satya Nadella doesn't have to go through this. What I would love to do is pay a large amount of money ($50K out of pocket not counting insurance for just the diagnosis) and go through all of the doctors/tests in two weeks. Does anyone know where I can do that? The US would be best, but can travel internationally for this too.

Would appreciate any pointers people might have, I don't even know what to Google. If necessary, the issue is neck-spine related, relevant doctors might be neurologist, rheumatologist, spine surgeon, etc.

Canada has subsidized networks for rural users. We've, as a population, invested a lot of money in connection remote communities. And next generation internet is going to be powered by 5G, which will make it a lot cheaper to connect remote communities.
I had tried to switch from Emacs to logseq and had massive performance issues earlier this year. I have since migrated to Obsidian, but I'm finding I really want the structure of an outliner. Obsidian is great for some types of minds, but the outliner really appeals to the way I mentally organize information, and I'm finding it's a lot of fighting the system trying to get Obsidian to work the way I want it to.

I guess I need to try logseq again - it really did have a lot of promise to be the cross-platform org-mode you mention.
This actually looks like a server psu.
There are plenty of people who cannot get care at government hospitals in countries with "universal healthcare", because of waiting lists, because the government doesn't consider the treatment they need to be worthwhile, etc. You could easily find some of those people on crowdfunding sites, and the media occasionally writes about such cases. The problem is that paying for their treatment at a private hospital would be very expensive, unless the ransomware would accept a partial crowdfunding contribution.
The original home owners could also refinance at the lower rate. And when they buy a new home it would also be at the lower rate (and higher sale price).
I worked with someone, who previously worked at a hard drive manufacturer, whose initials are coincidentally valid hexadecimal digits. He told me a story how as a low-level firmware programmer, he was in the position to immortalize his initials as the two digit (one byte) magic number that starts some sort of internal control block used by that company's hard drives. Of course, he didn't tell them it was chosen because it was his initials...

Uh what? It's literally the name itself "node"_modules, it's designed to be used with node. The fact that it use same language and can later be used by browser is another matter. Thankfully we can easily bundle the whole thing using webpack nowadays.

There are also countless boilerplate project with webpack setup already so you can get reference from there.
I chose "there is not the societal or political will", currently the least popular choice, so let me explain.

Geoengineering will have side-effects. You can't just laser-cool the atmosphere. You have to accept trade-offs.

Imposing the side-effects of geoengineering, whether by carbonyl sulfide or metallic reflectors or something else, on unwilling countries is bound to have geopolitical ramifications. International agreements to permit geoengineering will face just as difficult of a political battle as agreements to prevent GHG emissions, if not even worse.

You have to block a lot of sunlight for a long time. The whole biosphere literally runs on sunlight. This is not easy.

Finding a technology is easy. COS, probably the crudest option, could probably stop global warming for less than a trillion dollars [1]. But the ecosystem damage could easily be extreme.

The term you're looking for is "concierge healthcare". Check r/fatfire for recommendations - the abysmal state of US healthcare is a frequent topic of discussion.
there are edge cases where that's desirable. I won't enumerate them here but they're discoverable on the Googles. I also would advise against that kind of passionate adherence to infrastructure dogma, taking a more analytical approach to review.
Yes, but Rust offers something more than just modernizing C++. The borrow checker provides something entirely new that has the potential to make a huge impact.

There is really not much about SVG here. These are drawing techniques and little is specific to SVG. I was expecting something along the lines of using `stroke-dashoffset` to create loading bars.

> The storage engine architecture is obsolete and highly suboptimal

cite?

> It has no way to accommodate modern high-density or high-bandwidth storage

WTF does this even mean? Storage is a hardware issue, nothing to do with the DB engine. And it has mmap and huge pages <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-resou...> so what's it missing?

> nor is it possible to implement any of the (very successful) I/O schedule optimization concepts that have emerged in recent years. The net effect is a gross underutilization of the capabilities of modern storage hardware.

No evidence given.

> Modern page engines need great performance across diverse categories of workloads and data models

It's chunks in memory that's all, how is it failing then?

> Indexing in some modern systems have been completely reimagined to great effect. Tables are effectively index-organized with no secondary indexing structures

just what?

> but without loss of high query selectivity across diverse columns

selectivity is a feature of data, not how it is organised, at all

> there is a separation of the concerns regarding fast search and key constraint enforcement

what? what? what? what? what? what? what? what? Search is a read issue, key constraints are a write issue...?

> no B-tree bloat

seriously WTF?

> As tables become larger the performance starts to diverge greatly, becoming multiple orders of magnitude faster
