I don't think it's sentimental to think it's undesirable to have one of your senses muted.

Rent goes from $1400 to $1850, but inflation only went up by a few fractions of a percent? Downpayment needed for a family home went from $10k to $75k, and inflation was under 2%?

The numbers posted are wholly disconnected from the reality in our wallets.
This just blows my mind too. The pipe analogy is apt. Using logic to dispatch to whatever pipe -> consumer you want is the way to use queues. Turning it upside down and using properties of the queue to have consumers decide what they want to take and sending it back to others is just unquestionably bad design when you could just make more queues!

It's actually true, in a way.

There was a worry after WW2 that a large number of young, single men, trained in combat and now returning home, would destabilize American politics, especially if they could not be absorbed by the labor market.

One response was the GI bill, so that some could go back to school. That would help to slow their return to the job market, and hopefully prevent unemployment.

Another was the 30-year mortgage. If these men were tied down with obligations, and families, and houses, they would cease to be a volatile element in society, the thinking went.
Yeah, this is completely insane. Nobody is learning their lesson. Honor is dead. The children are in charge.
If anything, it's not the fault of javascript, it's on node. However finding the popularity of it means that somewhat it's more suitable for many devs than the alternatives.

Well I can understand it. As I've used the previous generation of jQuery, knockout, etc, nodejs and it's tooling makes things easier to scale, even with bigger overhead cost.

EDIT:

> That’s literally the other problem! People just copying boilerplate without understanding it. That’s not a proper solution. That’s not a maintainable project, that’s copying other peoples homework and getting yourself in over your head.

Copy, make it run well, modify, learn is how I learn things. Without working example, it's magnitude times harder to learn something. The fact that people copy and use without trying to understand things is their fault, not the hundreds of boilerplate code.

"Geoengineering" without saying which kind or at what scale is a bit too broad. Consuming less or putting solar shades in space may fit in that definition.

I'm more worried about taking intrusive measures (that probably have known or unknown yet disruptive side effects) to deal with symptoms instead of targeting the core problem. I don't know, like the solar shades of above or dumping iron in ocean instead of lowering extraction/burning oil/coal/gas or more or less harmless technologies of carbon capture.

It may be too late to avoid some of the incoming damage that will cause what we emitted so far, but there is always space for worsening things even more.

It might be about thirty percent smaller by volume. It's not any more convenient to carry around because instead of being a candy bar shape it's perfectly square and actually wider than the old one. While not related to it being a GaN charger, it being a permanently attached type-c connector is a recipe for disaster considering how much more delicate it is than a traditional laptop charger. I'm probably going back to a ThinkPad for my next laptop and the charger connector is not an insignificant reason why.

Yea but for the most part you can avoid macros, and areas where you can't you can consider them to be keywords in my opinion anyways. Macros aren't all bad, but they do get abused a lot and make a nightmare for others. Fwiw Ive only written one macro and it was for learning purposes only.

That isn't so surprising nor uncommon even among high-end chargers. Many multiple-port chargers can only generate one voltage other than 5V.

So, you charge your laptop at 100W means 20V*5A, then connect a phone that can only negotiate to 9V. Now your laptop can, at best, only get 45W. But laptop and phone might also have to share the same 5A, meaning something close to what you described. (or, your laptop might not support 9V ... in which case I'd guess one of the devices would disconnect?)

You might be better off using a USB-A port if the charger has one, then your laptop could perhaps remain at ~100W and your phone might still get ~10W. (Assuming charger and phone doesn't also have quickcharge which might complicate it further). Or, perhaps charge your phone via your laptop (yes, negates the point of a multiple-port charger, but if you are in hurry - otherwise, slow charging is preferably anyway)

A good review will test this, and a good product page will specify this (but if your are not looking/thinking about it it is easy to miss).
> Those who have never had their money stolen by the banking system or denied the ability to use their money as they see fit likely won't understand my take.

Neither I nor any of my friends or family members have ever had their money "stolen" by the banking system.

People I know have lost their wallet keys and lost significant value in their Bitcoin "investments" they made in just the last year.

What the OP did was build a simple irrigation controller for an existing irrigation system. Most irrigation systems use electronic solenoid valves that open when very low current 24 VAC power is applied to the two terminals.

Take a look at the Spec for a valve from Rainbird:

https://www.rainbird.com/sites/default/files/media/documents...

Electrical Specifications:

• Power: 24 VAC 50/60 Hz (cycles/second) GBS25 Solenoid

• Inrush Current: 0.41 A (9.84 VA)

• Holding Current: 0.20 A (4.80 VA) at 60 Hz, 0.23 A (5.40 VA) at 50 Hz

If you have a sprinkler system, you can replace the on/off valve with a solenoid valve and then you're able to control the system electronically using a 24 VAC power supply and a switch. The OP replaced the switch with a relay, which is a switch that can be actuated by the lower voltage from something like a microcontroller.
Right. Picking up random children from the street and taking them to a restaurant comes at almost no cost. In fact if anyone sees this and calls the authorities they are likely to give you free lodging and food at a state owned facility top of it :)
You'd have to be in a pretty crappy situation to not have your income go up over a 25-year mortgage.
Yes, clean install usually helps, but it wasn't my laptop so I didn't want to jump to extreme solutions straight away (otherwise I might have put Ubuntu on it!)

I think what the main problem was they hadn't used it in a while and accumulated a backlog of mandatory Windows Updates. While these chugged away they got frustrated with an almost unresponsive computer, turned it off, install interrupted for the same thing to happen all over again. I can see how doing this stuff in the background makes sense as you don't necessarily want to bother the user with it, but when it impacts performance so badly maybe it's better to throw up the message and the progress bar. At least they know what's up!
I've been to Indonesia lol what kind of response is this. Everyone wants to chat over whatsapp to organize things
One mistake a lot of people make is comparing their monthly mortgage payment to rent. You're not comparing apples to apples. You should be comparing only the interest portion of the payment to rent. The principal portion is money you're paying back into your own pocket in the form of home equity. Your actual "money that goes away like rent" expense is the interest. When you use this as your comparison, a lot more rent-vs-buy decisions swing over to "buy". Of course you also need to factor in amortized taxes, maintenance, and so on, but mortgage principal is not an expense.

EDIT: Plus, if you want to get even more exact, you should be comparing the interest portion minus the tax deduction to rent, because (at least in the US) the government lets you deduct mortgage interest from your income.

I think the key criticism here is that since they deliver the code (javascript) that handles the keys, they could easily replace the code with a version that leaks/harvests your private key. Once your private key is known by someone that also has your ciphertext, that party can get the plaintext.
I don't see any wrong in what he says. So, crypto is designed for a future where all the institutional banking fails and where political borders don't exist and where no transparency is required. All that it offers is less fee and speed. First of all such future dreamed by the cypto pundits doesn't exist. And many people don't mind paying a little commission to a bank doing my payment, so that they can call the bank and hold it accountable. All this is taken away in the crypto model just for the sake of avoiding a small fee and delay. How many times does an average person transacts across border for which their fiat currency doesn't work or too difficult to use? crypto has too little to offer at the cost of enabling crime and lack of transparency. Why all this is so difficult to understand for these crypto geniuses?
A New Prediction Market Lets Investors Bet Big on Almost Anything
Ask HN: Best system for emails and passwords *SOS*
Hey HN, I recently realized I was in need of a hard reset. I completed my mandates, and quit my jobs - a three month OOO to take the time to introspectively audit and assess many aspects of my life. The one thing I realized was actually taking a burden on me psychologically was this looming and never ending mental to-do list weighing down on me, especially in terms of data and information overload.

Something I've been meaning to do for YEARS, is finally build and implement an optimized system for handling many different usernames, accounts, and passwords. Ideally, I want a system that might take me time to implement, but that will almost run autonomously and require minimum steps once set up.

I fell on a few other threads that portrayed a version of this ideal system I've longed for: create custom domain emails for each service requiring a username and use one of the password managers (yes I'm still not using one and my mental hard drive is on the brink of croaking from the dozens upon dozens of various handle names and passwords I've stored mentally. This is what I'd like to know assuming this is the best system - open to other solutions of course.

(1) best way to register and host new domain for this purpose, and then use a mailserver such as protonmail? I like this strategy because it will force me to be more selective of where and what services I register for since it would require a few steps and also I can easily control and audit the culprit if/when I run into a spam issue.

(2) best paid for password manager?

part of my initial process was unsubscribing my various emails from different services as well as making a spreadsheet of all my usernames, passwords and sites they're used on. I'm ready to finally lift this burden off my back. I appreciate any advice given to me, you don't know how much you are helping me in bypassing any OCD, perfectionism, and need-to-know tendencies I may possess.

I'd apply to be seen at the Mayo or Cleveland clinic. While it sucks that there is a patient selection process, once you are in, they can line everything up, over a a few days, and get you an answer - at least all the testing will be done. They do have telehealth options and I found the digital experience compelling.

I'd second the medical tourism, but I've never done it myself.

I'm a patient at the Mayo.
Honestly, your wait times sound really fortunate. I’m currently in a 4-month wait to see a specialist and a 9-week wait for some standard imaging tests. (The imaging tests were delayed by staff scheduling errors combined with staff absences.) I sympathize, but also think you have it relatively good! There seem to be some issues with staffing shortages throughout the medical industry right now (possibly combined with an increase in demand now that many people are less fearful of Covid).

I don’t have any advice except to pester the scheduling staff at every turn (which is easier said than done when most places try to divert you with an automated phone tree ending in the option to leave a voicemail). It’s aggravating for sure. I have no doubt that people are dying who wouldn’t have if they had received more timely care.
Much like "We're going to scan your phone for child porn", "we're going to track you for carbon footprint" is using a good social cause to justify enslavement.

It's obvious you can be against the horrendous crime of child exploitation but also know that all surveillance by governments is abused.
Uh yeah, the fact that people using npm for frontend too means alternative front end package managers isn't as good (or as suitable) as npm. I take it as even though NPM isn't aimed for that, it works well.
Out of curiosity, why would you store data on a third party service without encrypting it automatically? rclone can easily encrypt file names as you want to.
Or you might not, if the only choices are to buy stuff from their shitty Company Store, or convert to airline miles. I don’t need more stuff, and we don’t fly much. There seems to often be an option to convert to cash, but that’s usually a penalty choice. So we dumped the points card(s), and mostly use the Apple Card, which is just straight X% cash.

Regardless, if I’m going to play “maximize value of effort expended”, I’ll fire up the Xbox and play an RPG. I’ll get a lot more pleasure out of that than playing with credit cards. OTOH, plenty of folks might consider Octopath Traveller a waste of time, so to each their own.

You can find a lot of world-class private hospitals in Turkey. They are quite cheap, because of the decreasing value of Lira, have great doctors, and short waiting periods.
Yes, you can just set your template to '{% extend "template.html" %}', your styles to '@import "styles.css";", and your script to 'export default from "script.js"'.

However I do think for the small sort of sprinkling of CSS/JS that is common for components you will find that actually having them embedded within the component file an advantage.

It's not an ideal situation, but you're getting paid and you're getting certificates (for whatever they're worth). Just stick with it, let everyone else bail, then if there's a job at the end you get it, if not you got the certificates and some (life) experience.
> Can someone speak to what language has the best support for this?

I can give you the Rust perspective, but I'm not sure it's the best.

include_str! and include_bytes! make the contents of a file available as a string or a byte array. More complex types would need a build script (or transmute).

No support in `const fn`, but you can again use a build script as an escape hatch.

Are you suggesting that my comment is incorrect, that parents are okay to allow access to smartphones/tables/etc. for their children, because our brains can be harmed by social media at many other ages?

I believe that is what they call whataboutism, unless I misunderstood the point of your comment. When people comment at me I usually assume they're attempting to correct me.
In general those are the reasons I see people give for why they still use C instead of C++ or newer languages. Also all of those things were, and maybe still are necessary for embedded systems where C still dominates.

To me it comes down to Zig is a "modern" C, but unlike most other attempts at replacing C it doesn't skip some of C's use cases.
I believe I remember hearing that the Mayo Clinic does an extensive multi-day health checkup. They essentially shuffle you from specialist to specialist and you get a full thorough look over. I believe it’s the kind of thing that high level executives get done to make sure they’re healthy. Might be worth checking out.

That is plain, utterly, provably wrong. You have no idea of what kind of fees a bank will charge to exchange a wire of tens of thousands of dollars.

> it would make absolutely no sense to use crypto if you followed the rules.

Some of the rules are very specific at about the source and means of the funds. E.g, some taxes in Brazil are applied only for purchases done through credit cards. Others apply for financial operations between different banks. It is not illegal (and much less immoral) to know about the loopholes that allows you to avoid paying the exorbitant fees.
The 51% problem was quite real a few years back due to the underlying motivation to be part of a mining pool.

And it's not too far fetched that china might control a big mining pool if BTC would take off.

And yes decentralization doesn't just fix the issue of regimes like china.

It is more controllable than you would like to make it out.

The experience made me feel like a criminal and quite vulnerable.
