> “The markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent”

I'm pretty sure if they had damning evidence, a single hedge fund could single-handedly force the market to collapse in a couple weeks.

Keep in mind hedge funds can manage billions of dollars, cryptocurrency market caps are manipulated and the true order book depth is much smaller, and many cryptocurrency people are trading 100x leveraged perpetual futures on dodgy exchanges.

At some point it's disrespectful to even allow the market to exist.

I completely agree about the WIDE gap between rhetoric and delivery. I'm just saying the whole thing is pretty nuts in the UK. We are really really bad at moderate policy (see also crime and punishment, Benefits)

I feel like Tether wanted to prove, once again, that the entire system is illusory anyway just like how the Bretton Woods system ended in 1971 (no more convertibility of USD into gold).

As long as people use USD effectively, who cares whether or not it is backed by actual gold?
Portugal, if I’m not mistaken, requires mandatory drug treatment to avoid criminal prosecution for drug possession.
Stories are exactly what I’d expect: Drugs.

They don’t say it directly, but woven throughout all these sad stories is a lifetime of abuse.
Your summary is very one-sided and even misleading. (Drew never invented Gemini for example.) It is fair to say that Drew did bring lots of great things to F/OSS but is also a controversial figure due to his writing and communication style.
I had longcovid 14 months until June 2021. Over the last year I haven’t been sick once.

I’m not convinced the VACCINE wasn’t a biological attack on your immune system. All my family who took it get sick repeatedly, I’m exposed to the viruses they have and don’t get sick.

All that is anecdotal, but it also jives with what Kirsch and others have been saying about the mRNA shots:

The old saying goes like this: "if you want freedom on one layer you need stability on the layer below"

My guess is that since frontend web development is at the top of the stack it has an incredible amount of freedom so everything changes every minute. You don't see too many people wanting to subvert HTTP making a billion homemade alternatives
The word is often tagged on anything new somebody tries to sell. Better to be specific. The problem is that most “modern” things are very old things sold as new ideas. Cause biz. So, nothing specific against this proj.
I mean they just walk up to people. You can see that. They're unedited.
If tether goes down, so does bitcoin. This post may as well be about bitcxoin going to zero then

Really must be anecdotal, I've been running a major open source project on Github for 3 years now and the only pull requests I've ever had to turn away were major refactorings that I preferred to do myself. You can work very methodically and receive high quality contributions everywhere - as I said, really depends on your audience.
> I'm pretty sure if they had damning evidence, a single hedge fund could single-handedly force the market to collapse in a couple weeks.

Exactly, like they did with GME.

Oh wait.
> In due time we will see this abused to hammer ads down our throats.

When the service was first implemented, that was a possibility. Now, the most we're likely to take advantage of it is to show you a display ad that matches with the current "over the air" ad that you're hearing. Advertisers aren't interested in selling on top of someone else's advertising, and programming doesn't want their displays messed with outside of commercial breaks.

Plus.. it's a pretty low value service and honestly not worth selling. Advertisers all want demographic driven sales now, so those channels aren't all that useful to us.

RadioDNS opens the door somewhat to this, because it can direct your radio to start a stream instead of listening "over the air." However, there, we're happy to be able to replace the over the air ads with programmatic digital ads and that sales channel really doesn't care about "additional display opportunities" either.

Be happy that radio is slow to implement standards, and usually too far behind the punch to get the expected return out of them. So.. just album art for the foreseeable future.
Yeah I actually think react is the stability. Its still here, still the main choice.
I found this site which is for nation-wide tallies of how (state) representatives voted: https://openstates.org/about/subscriptions/

It's free to subscribe. But - IMO - it is likely that the OpenStates.org site monetizes the subscriber data somehow.

As far as CA-specific 'follow what a piece of legislation is doing' there's this site from the California state government: https://www.assembly.ca.gov/informationtohelpyoufollowthepro...
it doesn't suffice to me. there are many other people being critical that don't get this hate. none of this should make him enemies.
This is definitely hard to parse. Canada Water to Canary Wharf is 144 minute walk on that map LOL. It's a couple of minutes by Underground. It is about 2 miles walk, but it's definitely not 2 hours and 24 minutes!
That is the $75m in "other liabilities."

I'll grant it can be misleading. I don't think it necessarily is. I say this as someone that has had gun suicides in the family. I also have Saturday Night Special running through my head, now...

I don't understand the fixation that counting kids as up to 19 and including suicide is somehow a concern. Seems generally alarming that people under 21 is that high for this statistic, period.

Edit: Per https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Japan/Unit... no, Japan is not much higher than the US. It isn't even higher. (I'm confused, do you have a better source?)

Edit2: Ok, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_r... has it higher, but doesn't look "much" higher. Though, I grant that is a subjective term.

Edit3: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/suicide is an interesting source on this. I find it amusing that they are able to have articles that mention limiting access to pesticides as an effective way to reduce suicides, but don't look at limiting access to guns. It is listed in the top three methods. (Sadly, I'm stepping away from computer for a while now. Will be delighted to engage more on this later, but will probably be a day or so before I remember to check back here.)
It can work without the internet, so it's private already. We plan to open the source code this year, so it could be audited.
Not training. Maybe she figured out that making up bullshit gave her power. Seems a lot simpler than "drugs".
They probably don't want to end up being replaced by an AWS/GCP/Azure service. In my opinion, the BSL is a fair license model, especially if it is limited in duration (let's say 2-3 years BSL then automatically changing to Apache/BSD).
Same, but I also want to toggle it so that I specifically see the stories that are crypto related. Best I can do is search comments several keywords and then sift through batches of them that come from the same story.
HN posters have successfully predicted 9 out of the last 0 Tether blow ups.

More seriously, it's mostly seething while reposting the same stuff with this article potentially holding the record for being short enough to not even repeat most of the usual let alone add anything compared to the pages and pages of previous posts on the topic[0]. Which doesn't mean it won't blow up, just that those discussions are particularly motivated and low quality.

I do not know about aerospike, have never run their software but Scylla are the champions in what they are doing. Having said that, Scylla provide full durability guarantees, that means they need to touch a disk upon each write or update. Disk I/O is relativle expensive in the cloud and requires either large instances or special storage optimized family types like i3 etc.

Long story short, I do think Dragonfly is the fastest in-memory database in terms of throughput and latency today. We will see if we manage to stay this way when we extend our capabilities with SSD tiering.
>> Positivist dispositions can lead to the acceptance of claims because they have a scientific form, not because they are grounded in robust evidence and sound argument.

Interesting that is a form of hallucination itself :)
You can already do that using the Lightning network on Bitcoin, which can allow micro transactions. There isn't any need for some random platform to have this integrated just because they like "blockchain technology".

This platform isn't secure because their blockchain node appears to be only about 5 nodes online when I visited the site. It does not seem like you're able to run your own node which means the project isn't even decentralized in any meaningful way.

The project provides nothing and does not move anything in any direction.
We probably aren't headed for 8 degrees of heating, based on what we know today. There are a lot of "out there" scenarios that don't make it into sober, conservative scientific reports from the IPCC, because they recognize how important it is that people take their warnings seriously, and they don't want to mention anything they don't have very clear evidence for already.

One of my "favorites" is the "world without clouds" scenario, which for the record, I consider unlikely, but is horrifying to imagine: https://www.quantamagazine.org/cloud-loss-could-add-8-degree...

What we're dealing with are "unknown unknowns": what tipping points might exist that we don't know about, that might result in more warming faster than expected based on today's science? We shouldn't take those kind of existential risks.
Assuming all of the assumptions in that article come to pass, why ignore Elixir/Erlang as a viable option for language & infrastructure?
$70M valuation makes more sense.

I did not realize you’re doing it for experimentation. I thought some kind of live product.
That’s fine and I enjoy reading his posts quite a lot (haven’t used any of his services but they seem very cool in a particular HN minimalist kind of way).

However if you’re going to traffic in language war melodrama and controversy-for-clicks (let’s be real, it’s a deliberate content strategy), then it’s sort of weak to cry about others not being nice enough in their criticisms of your own stuff. Pot meet kettle and all that /shrug.

Regardless, I hope he gets through the rough patch and I look forward to reading more of his posts that may or may not eloquently shit all over some of my favorite programming tools :)
It breaks the back button (Firefox). I should be able to back out of the website.
That sums it up nicely. I put my heart and soul into a product that at one point Drew personally decided was harmful and worthy of self righteous scorn, and that wasn’t very fun, but I don’t wish the same back on him. It’s just kind of the way people behave on the internet sometimes, and you can’t take it too seriously.
Yes, exactly. When people talk about about "modern" in the context of software performance, it usually denotes software architecture choices. If someone did a forklift upgrade to the software architecture of Redis etc, then they would be modern too.

In practice, software architecture is forever. It is nearly impossible to change the fundamental architecture of software people use because applications become adapted to the specific behavioral quirks of the architecture i.e. Hyrum's Law, which would not be preserved if the architecture was re-designed wholesale.
If it is so easy and so obvious for you to predict the market you are beating all the hedge fund managers almost. Change of job?

Links to any research on this? Anecdotally (about a decade working across different sized orgs in various roles from IC to Staff Engineer), this simply does not pass the smell test for me.
Anything that you use often enough can be memorized. A cup of flour is 120g, for example. But I use something like molasses maybe 5 times a year, so I'm not going to remember how much a cup of molasses weighs.

(I use molasses as an example because, due to how sticky it is, I much prefer to measure it directly into my mixing bowl by weight rather than using a liquid measuring cup).
It does support it, but it is doing it in a non-standard way.
Mindless distraction is exactly what you turn to when your efforts to better your life become too monumental to bear: lifespans shorten because destitution drives people to apathy or an open desire for suicide.
That’s a lazy response. Just charge for water, the cost will be reflected accurately in the food, and people will move to cheaper alternatives. We’re nowhere near a food shortage, that’s propaganda from California farmers that don’t even want you to consider the possibility of touching their draconian water rights.
Drew's been doing really cool stuff. I'm a paying user of Sourcehut myself and I'm considering moving from the "Amateur" to "Pro" tier just to support the project.

I also don't get how someone would get out of their way just to be toxic against a free, open and community-oriented project. If you don't like it, don't use it.
Oh c’mon, if I read those things I wouldn’t ever use a q-tip again in my life.

If only viruses were a simple catch the virus -> get the illness relationship. See Mononucleosis, chicken pox, and I'm sure there are many more examples. As much as I love XKCD this seems to gloss over a lot.
Being controversial shouldn't make you a target of litteral hate speech.
It ought to be possible to locate the cellular antenna on any car and disconnect it or wrap a Faraday cage around it. (The latter is probably a better solution because it makes it harder for the software to detect a fault. You want the software to think the car is simply in a no-cell-coverage area.)

This is the single biggest reason I don't use emacs. I have yet to get a stable installation with the necessary behaviors and tools I need to make memorizing all the chords worth the effort.

I've tried spacemacs, doom and from scratch, and have never been satisfied or gotten to the point where coding is as productive as VScode for me.
Yes, we use io_uring for networking and for disk. io_uring provides a unified interface on linux to poll for all I/O events. Re disk - we use it for storing snapshots. We will use it for writing WALs.

And we have more plans for using io_uring in DF in the future.
Aside from D.C. and New York, these are all states within the ninth circuit court’s jurisdiction, and therefore are bound to the Martin v. Boise ruling, which allows public camping if there is not adequate shelter space available. If one part of the country allows that while the rest doesn’t, you’d expect that the homeless population will migrate over time to the more permissive area, which seems to be borne out in the growth of the homeless population on the West Coast since the ruling went into effect. Of course, we also mint plenty of new homeless ourselves with our astronomical housing costs, but I see a lot of people with out-of-state plates on the RVs they live in here in Oregon.
If you're an immigrant like me, then a lot of these services are not available to you in the USA. Or, if you do take advantage of any of them you are permanently excluded for applying for citizenship.
What COVID taught me is that the human ability to not give a fuck is apparently infinite. I have trouble processing the fact that a million people died (in the USA) and there is no mourning, no shared sense of tragedy or loss, no looking more kindly on other people, just a madder, faster dash on cash and even more finger-pointing.

> Covid was not 1% as bad as any pandemic featured in a film.

I'll be generous and not dwell on this stunning example of this age's inability to get bothered by anything unless it hits harder than film. Look on the bright side I guess, despite how soulless, empty, and glib we have to be do so!
I think that if you want a page to impress or make a splash then sure, you always have to move to the next greatest thing, however, I don't work for them but I've paid for Telerik Kendo Controls (the react ones specifically)since they were released, before then, the AngularJs ones and it's been great - it keeps my (albeit internal app) UI development stable, fast and looks great with minimal fussing about. It's been years now and it feels very stable and quick. The switch from AngularJs to React was the only unstable part, but it was at an inflection point in the number of apps I had to support and develop, so the change was actually welcome. YMMV
(edit - I just realized I spent the weekend experimenting with MAUI, so I'm full of it)
From what I hear it's brutal in small towns. My post above came from my own experience, living in Paris proper.
From my experience, Redis performance seems to be all over the place depending on the circumstances. In what cases does this solution perform well and where does it fail? Most caches I worked with really love to have everything close by at low latency and works best when the consumers have about as much memory as the cache in the first place.
I think there's a fallacy here in that "because covid's impact wasn't great, covid wasn't that bad." Any time we have to mobilize a lot of effort to head off the worst outcome, there's a tendency to say "well nothing really bad happened, so why did we go through all that effort?" Let's not trivialize the global effort necessary to bring us to 1/10th the death toll. It absolutely could've been worse.

It's our response to covid, not covid itself, that taught me a lot of what we're capable of in global crisis. We've come a long way since Spanish Flu.
ND = ?
Benchmarks done on only one metric are often misleading (and in commercial circumstances usually intentionally!). Would love to see visually what trade offs Dragonfly is making to achieve the numbers from the chart at the top of the README. If excellent technical work means there really is no trade off, that would also be a great reason to chart it visually.

Also as a Redis replacement, it's not clear what durability is offered, and for most Redis use cases this is close to the first question
I was just graduating from college in 2001 and I needed H1B sponsorship! It was scary times - but "luckily" I got hired making $14/hr as a developer. Even though I was underpaid, I was thankful for it.

My advice is to have emergency funds saved up that can last you at least 6 months or more. And always build a network even during good times - it pays off when job searching during recession.
So read the way you wrote your first post. This article talks about mask mandates (a policy), you mostly talk about masks.
note that EBITDA isn't directly equivalent to cash flows, and can be wildly different depending on how creative the accounting is. EBIT/EBITDA can be useful is some comparative valuation exercises as an idealized cash flow substitute (especially when comparing companies or time periods under differing tax regimes), but it's not actual cash in minus cash out, as the term "cash flow" implies.
in many major canadian cities right now the minimum required income to meet the income ratio tests to afford a new mortgage for the cheapest, smallest 1BD condo on the market is now $150,000/year.

the real estate value bubble has expanded beyond all reasonable limits.

entirely aside from the assisted death issue, something has gone fundamentally wrong in the economy if it looks like there's going to be a permanent sub-class of rental wage slaves for life. compare this to the ratio of annual gross or net wages to mortgage carrying costs for a person from the baby-boomer generation buying a house in canada in the 1970s or 1980s.
I wonder how much of this funding will go to producing chips that are in shortage verse just a blitz of money at all chips regardless of supply?
Controversial opinion: we don't need more databases. We need better application design.

Why do you need a redis/memcache? Because you want to look up a shit-ton of random data quickly.

Why does it have to be random? Do you really need to look up any and all data? Is there not another more standard (and not dependent on a single db cluster) data storage and retrieval method you could use?

If you have a bunch of nodes with high memory just to store and retrieve data, and you have a bunch of applications with a tiny amount of memory.... Why not just split the difference? Deploy your apps to nodes with high amounts of memory, add parallel processing so they scale efficiently, store the data in memory closer to the applications, process in queues to prevent swamping the system and more reliable scaling. Or use an SSD array and skip storing it in memory, let the kernel VM take care of it.

If you're trying to "share" this memory between a bunch of different applications, consider if a microservice architecture would be better, or a traditional RDBMS with more efficient database design. (And fwiw, organic networks (as in biological) do not share one big pot of global state, they keep state local and pass messages through a distributed network)
>As long as people use USD effectively, who cares whether or not it is backed by actual gold?

Because unlike all crypto coin asserts, its backed with guns.

ORNL is not an entity who builds supercomputers just for giggles. Department of Energy has plenty of practical, and top secret (nuclear) programs to fund, and these kinds of computers are fundamental to sustaining the nuclear edge for the US Government.

Among other scientific purposes of course. But the 'quiet part' is that a lot of this comes down to simulated nukes. (Much like how the space program was really a nuke delivery project)

These computers remain useful for other physics simulations of course: atom to atom interactions, protein folding, weather modeling. So they also serve the scientific community.
