401k money = pre tax and is invested. 20k in a 401k = 15k after taxes (random example), and how long will it take you to get that money?

Have you been in a real emergency, where you need serious money within minutes, not days? Because that's what an emergency fund is for. If I need 10k for an emergency right now, I have that available via card within seconds or (entirely) in cash as soon as I can get to an ATM or bank. Not to mention I know exactly how much I have available.

To answer your question, these are the points you're missing:
- Money in a 401k is pre-tax. Any money you want to withdraw will cost you taxes.

- You can't put money back in a 401k after withdrawing it. You will lose the tax advantages on that money forever.

- Withdrawing from your 401k before retirement costs you a penalty on top of taxes:

> If you withdraw money from your 401(k) before you're 59½, the IRS usually assesses a 10% penalty when you file your tax return. That could mean giving the government $1,000 or 10% of that $10,000 withdrawal in addition to paying ordinary income tax on that money. https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/investing/early-withdrawa....

- If you take a loan against your 401k, that comes with a lot of conditions and what-ifs. That's not going to help you in a real emergency.

- Using your 401k to get emergency cash is not going to be quick. If your house burns down in 20 minutes from you reading this comment, it would be nice to have money available to make arrangements immediately, rather than waiting until your 401k loan/withdrawal is ready.

The ideal is to max out your 401k and have an emergency fund _on top_ of that. Using your 401k to fund an emergency will come at significant short- and long-term cost. Having a post-tax emergency fund (again, that's _on top_ of the 401k) gives you short-term security without compromising your long-term security.

Do you really think Yahoo would have avoided its fate if it had continued allowing WFH?

I don't think it was a good decision, but Yahoo had/has way more issues with its business than whether or not it allows employees to WFH.
In the 1990s credit cards were pretty uncommon in Europe. Most shops that a student would shop at did not accept any.

When I visited the US I was shocked that you could do all kind of business by just telling or typing in the number on the phone. I soon learned that cheaper businesses (e.g international calls at discount rates) did not accept my foreign card. However, more expensive businesses (like AT&T to stay at the same example) just accepted the number, no questions asked. CVV wasn't in use. A concept that exceeded my imagination, credit card numbers are not that secret, everone working at a checkout could collect them. When reading this I guess they would have also accepted phantasy numbers with a matching checksum.

My conclusion back then was: For those operating at comfortable margins some loss by fraud is just priced in. Those offering cheap prices don't have the luxury to do so, so they reject everything that is not easy to verify, like e.g. foreign cards.
It is odd, isn't it? It captures "essential" characteristics of all those films in a honestly brilliant way - but it doesn't capture any of the iconic characteristics of Kermit himself!
> Again if this was done on someone's laptop it would be really impressive. However the fact that so much talent and resources were poured into pushing AI to it's limits and this is what we get tells me we've hit another brick wall as far as research goes.

You might be missing the point of what OpenAI is doing. The point is to show off the capability of their models in a way that's likely to go viral and lead to more business for OpenAI. Some people laughed at GPT-3's silly demos, but when they launched GitHub Copilot...

So here's a weird thought, why should you ever write your own doubly linked list? Why shouldn't you use one that a community of people has vetted and juiced for performance instead? In C what I just said is for some reason heresy.

But yes you are right, anytime you have two or more accesses to a data structure you do have to think a little harder about it. Usually you just want to use a reference to that object, sometimes it makes sense to clone it, sometimes you want to pass it by value and return it by value. In the case of doubly linked lists you probably want to drop into unsafe code.

I get it though, GC languages are more zen in that regard.
I use emacs. I don’t code in Rust but for my occasional Python work I’ve found emacs works better than even Pylance (which isn’t available on vscodium anyway)

Occasionally also using code-server, I am interested in some workflows that the vscode architecture allows. Not an emacs fanboy, just don’t think I should tie myself too strongly to vscode and found emacs generally better for how my brain functions.
I’ve hardly said anything about Rust (and I’m actually learning it at the moment). My point is that stackoverlow’s most loved metric can be misleading. It’s more of a least-wanting-to-jump-ship-right-now metric.

> You act like exploitation of employees is exclusive to Tesla, or even the tech industry.

Where did the OP say or imply that?
You get all that for free with a terminal in Linux. And KDE has all kinds of tools that remotely work with SSH. Dolphin can, for example, treats a remote SSH connection like a local file system.
Lol. I can confirm that a motivated company can Tetris a lot more desks into a room than you’d expect. My first job… ah, memories.
The thing is, all other systems have been VIOLENTLY worse
Remote work is bad for the economy.

I've seen this claim a few times now. Are we actually sure it's true? Or does it just shift long-term spending trends?

For example maybe people don't go to lots of inner city coffee bars in business districts any more but local cafes near residential areas are thriving.

Maybe people don't stop in big stores on their way home from work but home delivery services are thriving.

Maybe bad managers who don't understand how to support and motivate their teams are having problems with people slacking off at home. What if good managers who look after their people and engender a degree of trust and even loyalty are improving their team's performance by making their people's lives better?

It seems far too early to draw broad conclusions about the effects of population-scale remote working but early enough to be confident that some people really like it but it's not for everyone and that some types of businesses benefit from the shift away from the office while others lose out.
Putting someone in a hallway might technically meet the requirement of having a desk, but not the spirit of having a desk.
We run one of these (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4632) off of an Arduino Uno with a small LCD hat (w/ micro SD for logging as well). I think that's the same sensor as in the outdoor units that Purple Air sells. ~$150 for the whole setup, but could definitely run that off a smaller / cheaper board, display only. Going strong for 2+ years at this point.
I even worked with military simulators, and they themselves are segregated. The simpler ones use the "marketing" figures for secret stuff (the thing I specifically remember was range for air-to-air robots and turn capabilities etc), whereas some might use the real figures. I don't think even the most high fidelity simulators always use 100% accurate info, especially when it comes to radar stuff which is very very well guarded. Even though a lot of the code can be identical to the "flying code" for aircraft, there is still a lot of physical stuff that needs to be specifically modelled.
I can't help but feel this is a self inflicted recession. What is the reason for it? Corona? Ukraine?
I probably agree after careful consideration. Finding a low tax jurisdiction to consult remotely from is probably the best move for someone capable and experienced.
Check out Onkalo - Finland's nuclear waste storage facility that's green, efficient and will bring them a lot of money when tech catches up and they will be able to re-use that waste to power new generation of reactors.

So my answer would be: import it making money now, store it safely and use later.
The computer was asked to produce photos of Kermit the frog. It failed spectacularly at rendering anything resembling Kermit the frog.
Bingo, it's a true systems language. That said, the fact that people can and do write web applications(for practical reasons) with it kind of says something about it's breadth.
Awesome. Maybe finally mailbox.org (and lots of other providers) will apprehend that using the same password for Jira helpdesk and my email inbox is a terrible idea. Then again, what privacy can one really expect from email anyway?

Imagine a crowd sourced metadataset of which model output is "good". What happens when we try to incorporate that knowledge into the pre-existing model? Will it learn to generate more "good"looking output?
Pen and paper. I don't like the idea of giving yet another private company access to my private info, and I find that the manual aspect of tracking finances by hand makes it feel more real and impactful to me.
You should try an experiment one day to show the bias of this site. Or don’t as your proof is already in this thread. Speak ill, even slightly, of someone on the left on HN and prepare for the onslaught, speak ill of the right and prepare for the praise.
Yeah, definitely for wider tires.

1.25in (32 mm) and 1.5 in (38 mm) tires were pretty common on the "sport touring" category of 10-speeds from the mid-70s bike boom to the early 90s or something like that.

Then marketing decided that everyone, even casual cyclists, should aspire to ride on "racing" road bikes with 23 mm (or even 21 mm) tires, even if the aero and acceleration benefits really didn't make any sense for them.

Really happy that wider tires are making a comeback and that the "gravel" category is in many ways a comeback of sport touring.
You might be right for the majority, but there are many other large groups who don't have computers that are more than fast enough. There are a lot of interesting and complex problems that can be solved in something like rust that the languages you name cannot be used for. Right now I'm using C++, but rust is of real interest to me (as is ADA, which in some variants lets me prove my code correct)
I agree with the spirit of this; but…

This specific pattern, switching suddenly from "thousands of open positions" to “freeze and maybe layoffs” is typical for large large, mature, professionally managed companies.
I switched from Mint to https://copilot.money/ a year or so ago and haven't looked back. Vastly better experience. Automatic categorization of downloaded transactions that you "review" day-by-day (to make any category adjustments) is great. It also has automatic budget calculation and tracking (and allows you to set some categories as "carryover", so you have more to spend later when you spend less.)
Fair enough, thanks for indulging me!
This is the transition most startups fail to make. It's easy to be reckless when you're small, it gets much harder to do that when you get big.

I was thinking about this, and one solution that came to my mind was serializing the heap into a temporary image and restarting the environment from an updated Wasm module with new code. This would also collect all garbage at the point of transitioning to the new code. You might need to be very careful to do this reasonably quickly, but in principle I don't see why this wouldn't work. The idea came to me when I was thinking about how an interactive-but-native-speed Oberon environment could be implemented in Wasm.
Can confirm, I have made like a dozen of these at this point. Works great but is loud. Good white noise at night though.
Partly. They've also said that they used some code from Visual Studio in some of it so I guess getting corporate permission to open it is not trivial.

For the Python one at least it's not as bad as it sounds - the Pylance extension is closed source but the core type checker Pyright is open source (and much much better than MyPy).
"Highly engaged employees" do actually leave when management does things like "intentionally trying to alienate and push employees away". People who are highly engaged want to be highly engaged and don't like changes that lowers engagement. Changes designed to alienate employees are alienating highly engaged employees as much as they alienate everyone else. Except that, if you are already alienated, you are used to it. When you used to be engaged, you perceive the change as very negative.

Also, have you ever worked in a company affected by consultants like you suggest? They don't have capability to recognize or motivate good people .

The best employees at passing the average SV engineering interview loop will indeed leave.

You better bet there is some amount of dead weight/low rated employees who have been interviewing around for there own reasons and haven't been getting any decent offers, so they just rest and vest. They'll happily return to office while the high performers get some $700k offer elsewhere

This is exactly why Netflix decides to pay very nicely for you to quit, if you reach out to your manager about that. They don't want you to stay an extra year trying to pass hard interview loops elsewhere
In order for this line of thinking to explain the statistics, either (1) Rust would have had no users over the time period or (2) more than the loved percentage of new users like the language (mean goes up).

It's pretty trivial to see that Rust adoption is increasing, so you can discount (1).

It was proven through data that most people at yahoo that were “working from home” weren’t working. It was indisputable.
I sat on a jury for a personal injury case, and I was surprised at how absolutely stupid, and unable to absorb basic concepts about the case my fellow jurors were. They wanted to give a huge settlement to “stick it to the man” whether there was a reason to or not. I’m pretty anti-corporation but there was no evidence to support the claim!
>bad. I think it'll be worse.

Different.

2007/08 was a financial crisis, and global banking infrastructure almost imploded. Here we're talking about deglobalization, supply chain issues and, well, a war.

What's interesting is that the main problems may not be US focussed, it may happen around the world (although no one will be safe). For example, hard to imagine the Canadian real estate sector isn't going to melt down...

Ask HN: Does anyone know (or guess) how gambling apps make betting lines?
Was watching the NBA finals last night and decided to play around with the $5 that was in my Draftkings account when this question came to mind.

I imagine there is some API that a lot of the apps use for their lines. But super curious about how they make these just out of genuine curiosity, both for team matchups and player stat over/unders.

Think it would make sense to incorporate historical performance, maybe higher impact on recency like if a team/player is hot, maybe also a focus on player matchups, home-field advantage. Wonder if they incorporate who is reffing or other kind of more quirky factors?

Not building anything in this space just was curious. I envisioned that some gambling software legend lurks here sometimes and might bite at the poor question.
I think it's just a game for executives at this point to think of what dumb policy will people put up with to keep their jobs or to quit and reduce severance.
Thanks for for the tip, but does it bring anything to the table that Maxima can’t already do?

Maxima can do things my physical calculator can’t do, like solving equations, at the expense of having to open or switch to it, as opposed to having it always ready on my desk.

But to warrant actually downloading, installing and learning a whole other application that application would need to have some pretty game-changing additional features over Maxima, and even if it does, my current needs I’m barely scratching the surface of what Maxima can do, so I would still have very little incentive to switch.
Not an unreasonable thesis in the age of misinformation.

Yahoo is an internet company. Tesla makes cars.

Even for IT workers, I guess that sometimes you need to test on the actual hardware, and the factory is where most things happen.

I am not saying that working from home is impossible, or that banning it is a good thing, but you can't really compare Yahoo and Tesla.

Hi there, Filip from Gitpod here.

The discrepancies you mentioned come down to the extension Marketplace used - in VS Code, it is the Microsoft VS Code Marketplace, but in VS Codium it is by default https://open-vsx.org/ (basically a FOSS alternative to the Microsoft one).

The names don’t match up, because on Microsoft’s Marketplace the author handle (display name) is used, but Open VSX returns the username as the author name. The username of the author 周鹏 is bung87 on both the Microsoft Marketplace and OpenVSX. I think this is a good thing to reconsider though and thanks a lot for sharing!

> with only 3.9K downloads
The difference in the download numbers is as simple as the Microsoft Marketplace having their own install counter; Open VSX has less users and therefore less downloads for the extension.
It is true that Open VSX’s approach can be potentially dangerous, since an extension A on the VS Code Marketplace does not have to be the same extension A , it is built on the belief that people will be taking only their namespaces. The verification check mark can help on Open VSX extension pages with this, but it is not available on the VS Code side (yet anyway :)). The Rails extension you mentioned has the checkmark, so it means that it is published by someone who is a part of the project. You can take a look at how it looks like on the extension page: https://open-vsx.org/extension/bung87/rails.
Yes. But that's like the Mitch Hedberg joke where he sees stacks of Sam's Cola at Sam's Club for 25 cents and suddenly in his mind he's become a soda salesman.

Companies are instituting freezes but keeping jobs posted. It creates an outside illusion of success and growth.
Yes. This is already done in research and commercially (https://openai.com/blog/instruction-following/).
I'm pretty sure a bunch of people over the past two years were explicitly hired as WFH or allowed to transition to formally WFH. So they would have to move across the country. Also, as others are pointing out, the facility isn't designed to hold some of the departments that went on a hiring binge over the last two years.
Is remote work hammering the economy?
What effect does it actually have on productivity?
#1. The people st jury duty either want to be there or are too stupid to get out of it.

#2. I interact with the public from time to time. As a rule people can not understand compound sentences let alone be able to string enough facts together in their head to be effective on a jury.
The EV market is becoming extremely competitive. Not only are they not going to be the only game in town, they probably won’t have the best product. Tesla’s valuation has to come back from the moon at some point.
This was very insightful. Thanks for that.
No, 40-50 mph happens often on a long decent. It's extremely exhilarating, dangerous and always takes a lot of focus.
How about reading the article instead of the headline.

"Tesla CEO Elon Musk has a “super bad feeling” about the economy and needs to cut about 10% of jobs at the electric carmaker"

"Musk has warned in recent weeks about the risk of a recession, but his email ordering a hiring freeze and staff cuts was the most direct and high-profile message of its kind from the head of an automaker."

"Musk’s gloomy outlook echoes recent comments from executives including JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and Goldman Sachs President John Waldron.

A “hurricane is right out there down the road coming our way,” Dimon said this week."

In other words, he's doing his job and preparing the company to weather a very likely recession. Judging from the tone of your comment though, I imagine you would prefer if he neglected his responsibility to the company and its shareholders in order to spare some of his workers the inconvenience of looking for another job. That way the entire company can suffer together and lose even more positions.

This made me laugh pretty hard for a few minutes, I had tears in my eyes. Thank you.

Your humour is of course all the more pithy for exactly capturing the situation. Further, it applies everywhere that industrial-scale (internet-scale?) culture exists. Music, art, film, tv-shows, news, writing. We min-max everything at the altar of the algorithm, because... "reach". Or something. Money. I don't know. Whatever. It's hard to care about taking a shit.

Not sure about C++ but the Python extension definitely isn't completely open source. That code appears to be for the extension client, but the code for Pylance isn't open (which provides completions etc.). The code for Pyright (the type checker) is open source though.
