Yes. Go spawn a million tasks in haskell. It will work fine. 50k is child's play for GHC runtime. Only serious competitor is BEAM.
Have a severe autoimmune condition. Tons of weird issues. But didn’t know it.

Would occasionally take doxycycline. My issues would clear up for a few weeks.

Mentioned this once to a doctor neuro-ophthalmologist).

He grew interested and started asking about how dry my eyes and mouth were. I said they were fine. He insisted on testing. I failed. I was just used to them being dry

Declared I had had Sjogrens. An autoimmune condition. That he had seen many people in his decades that doxy helped with Sjogrens. Later this was confirmed.

Said I shouldn’t listen to any doctor that ignored the antibiotic link. Every single doctor I’ve talked to thought I was crazy for suggesting their was a relationship.

I then discovered the Marshall plan which is super controversial. Basically that some auto immune‘s are caused by a very low level infection. Maybe in the mitochondria. Doctors mostly consider that a quack theory.

I was tested for Lyme. (Negative) As symptoms are very similar.

No idea. A course of doxy will give me about a month of feeling great. But doctors just say I’m lying.

Would love to be able to figure a way to test the theory.
We can start working with you on this please email beta@neon.tech
Transporting wins in the short term. Extermination wins too. The europeans exterminated the natives on many lands and took over. They have many lands for centuries now.

Not many Ohlone on hacker news.

The US tried exterminating the Taliban, but failed.
No doubt there are people in the world who do that stuff, but why spend your time with them?
Careful. Not every PhD is STEM. There are lots of humanities PhDs.

In addition, most of my EE professors were from industry and would smoke their contemporaries. They knew their shit cold and then some.
It really is hideous. I think they skipped newlines to keep line count as low as possible. /Eyeroll
Heh, or you could be me, and escape embedded. I hate staring at 20 year old legacy C or C++98 codebases, Makefiles and Autotools make me cry, and trying to debug random hardware issues with blinking LEDs or print statements (JTAG access is too optimistic) is something only the most detail-oriented person might enjoy :).

I'm exaggerating a little, but more power to those of you who suffer through it!
How do smart folks wind up in such crappy employment conditions? Like seriously are they not unionised or something?
Yeah, was just showing that it takes time for things to change, even given that most cars sold in the 70s worked fine on unleaded, there were still leaded cars out there.

And cars didn't last nearly as long as they did before.
I heartily want to agree with you but from personal experience, I heard this exact same theory at the end of 2020 right when BTC hit $40k.

"How many more fools could there be? Don't they see it's a ponzi scheme?"

Then we hit $64k afterwards. I truly hope it's the end, for the sake of the environment.
Don’t forget to star us there :)
You are absolutely correct. Cloud Custodian is a great tool and some of customers had similar tools built internally. However the real pain point was the maintenance part of these and especially companies with limited cloud expertise, hence they like CloudPal's appeal.

Another primary reason for them to prefer CloudPal is that most software engineers can use CloudPal without a lot of IaC or AWS knowledge such as tagging resources.
And any sort of lithium battery is the most expensive storage.

Utilities are not generally in a habit of reflexively choosing the most expensive alternative, even if some have plumped for nukes in places where ratepayers have no say.
Congrats on the launch! Does it support logical decoding plug-ins? I.e. could I use for instance Debezium for streaming changes out of Neon to Kafka etc.?
Do you still test positive?
Hey who doesn't like free stuff. I like free stuff. Just pointing out not to get too used to it. History hasn't been kind to those who become too dependent on oil revenue, including in the form of distributions from the state.

>"you just want free stuff"

Ah the old patronizing "I invent a quote the person didn't say, and then I straw man against it like they did."
This all seems like sound(er) advice.

On color : I recently realised (or read somewhere) about the simplest color wheel- if you divide a circle into 6 segments and paint the primaries : {R, Y, B} in non-neighbouring segments, then the ones in between are the secondaries: {R+Y=O, R+B=P, Y+B=G}. Then if you combine primaries and the 'opposite' secondary, you get brown/grey like colors.

Also, I get quite good combinations (palettes) by using a mixture of the same colors, like a red and a green and then a mix of the two to make a grey.

I've thinking about using https://github.com/scrtwpns/pigment-mixing to go from a desired RGB output to the {RGB1, RGB2, percentage) inputs somehow. Would have to be quite rough estimate though, as mixing real paints in exact proportions seems hard.
> if investment in poor people provides good returns why there is not enough investment? (i.e unsecured loans provided by the private sector)

If I read this as a rhetorical question, then we are supposing that people always do the most profitable thing. We know this is not the case, because people are very shortsighted: there is no particular reason to think we would not be shortsighted in this matter either.

Moreover, there are a lot of examples of things that have great ROI, but that the private sector is ill-equipped or unable to do, for whatever reason. The provision of public education, basic healthcare, infrastructure, are all great examples. These have great ROI in the long term at the population scale, but apart from some niches, are ill-suited to private enterprise.
So let me get this straight. You just connect your Wallet to a random website and let them run arbitrary smart contracts? That's wild, man. Surely there's gotta be some concern here that someone could take your shit.

I'm just surprised there isn't a privacy.com equivalent for this, like a limited-view wallet that lets you create sub-wallets for interaction with various services. Or if there is, perhaps it's not famous yet. Worthwhile product, I think, but hard to build because you'll be the target of everything. I think it would be easy for me to make a mistake somewhere while building it.
> Yet, when you look at what Norway has actually produced over the past few decades in terms of innovation, companies, etc. the picture is very, very empty.

I don't agree with this being used as a primary metric for determining the worth of a nation or the value of its policies.

The #1 priority of a country should be the well-being of its people. Not "of its wealthiest"; not "of its economy". The well-being of all its people.

Norway is, last I knew, consistently among the happiest countries on Earth. I think that's a far, far more meaningful metric than "how many new ways to part people from their money have they come up with?"

(Now, I think there's a reasonable argument to be made with respect to things like basic scientific research, improved green technologies and other advances toward ending climate change, etc—particularly since that's vitally important for every nation's long-term well-being. But that's not at all the same thing as "innovation, companies, etc".)
Did keto for half a year last year and lost almost 50lbs. I'm now doing it semi-regularly (hard to stay on when traveling so I just don't). It's been life changing. People that hate on it are the same ones that just say to exercise. Like ya tried that didn't work for me.
The hardest part of writing is writing something people will like. Hard to anticipate reader tastes.
> Find me something like Erlang/Elixir with the speed of Rust and I won't learn another programming language ever again.

You're describing haskell again.

You haven't articulated why you have disliked haskell in the past.
> If the price of milk shot up from $2/gal to $20/gal that's a shortage.

Erm, exactly?

If there were a real shortage, salaries would be going up. The fact that salaries aren't going up to counteract that "shortage" tells me that there really isn't one.
The Fed has been placed in a tough position here. A huge portion of the inflation from this year comes from temporary supply-side shocks, and the federal funds rate is quite a blunt instrument to counter such a complex dynamic. Were it not for the pandemic and Russia's war with Ukraine, this would probably be a non-news 0.25% rate hike.

But now the Fed has to thread the needle and find that "soft landing", something that they don't have a great track record of doing. But they'd rather trigger a recession then deal with the greater issues that come with persistent 8% inflation, so they have to bite the bullet.

Of course equity markets are all down significantly ("the stock market") but equity prices are actually a quite poor indicator of recession. The ol' saying "the stock market predicted 9 of the last 5 recessions" is very true.

But in addition to the aforementioned supply side shocks, the economy is indeed running quite hot. We're nearly at full employment, open job listings are at record highs. Although real wage growth is still stagnant, nominal wage growth – particularly for the lowest paid workers – is growing; something it has historically been loathe to do.

An otherwise robust economy could deal with a few issues like this, but throw in the shocks to the economy and, indeed, the Fed has to step in with a moderating influence.
Do we have any evidence it's benevolent? I thought there were studies showing keto people were a bit more likely to die?
There are interesting plans to speed up [the cold start latency of] V8 by compiling it to wasm[0]

AFAIU the main point is that for wasm you can condense startup to a mmap operation and that you can "freeze" a running wasm process (essentially by dumping the memory/stacks to a new wasm module. In [0] they use [1] to do this.

As an aside, gas prices now are basically the same as they were in 2013, adjusted for inflation.
Cycle efficiency is trivially resolved by feeding in more zero-opex power.

But hydrogen efficiency is improving as fast as all renewable tech.
The US has far superior military now than 70 years ago, and military power imbalance is more in favor of US than ever before.

But the world has changed faster. All use of military now is misuse and futile.

We don't look at veterans now and say wow what heroes. We just thank them for their service. We don't celebrate them for "Mission Accomplished". Thanking is like a participation trophy.
T72 is about 3 seconds for 180 degrees. But it also takes time for a human in the tank to notice the incoming AT round, trace it back to the source, acquire a target lock, and then swing the turret over.

I can only guess at how long the full return fire process takes, but you only need to be pointing a javelin AT at the tank, it will do the rest. You can be sprinting away pretty much as you launch and get 50 meters away. Safe? Hell no, but it's not as bad as the "2 seconds" comment makes it out to be.
Yes you can’t infinitely scale writes. You can make your storage bandwidth infinit but you are still limited to the how much Postgres WAL one instance can pump into the storage.

I think we can do a lot of good things here over time and have plenty ideas. But for now it’s a single writer system. Good news is that there is so much open source tech around Postgres that it might not be a gargantuan task in the future
I am constantly having my mind blown by Google Earth. How can this be free?
Should be noted that a significant portion of Berkshire Hathaway's usual cash pile is not for deal making, but as a backstop for their large insurance portfolio.
Crypto is a net negative for the world, so anyone should feel free to pillage crypto assets and redistribute them to other more noble causes.

People must learn to avoid crypto. We can teach them why.
Broad munis and intermediate treasuries are both down 10% YTD, and so are TIPS (though at least those have had inflation adjustments). You might want to check your "emergency fund investment account" lol...
Awesome. Wouldn't have put it quite so creatively, yet not able to disagree either. :-D
It's good to read books on how to do it, of course. However, I started out a couple of years ago just making small pictures as quickly as possible over lunch.

If you don't set too high expectations, it's great to just experiment on cheap paper to see what can be done, and get a feel for it before trying to actually make a scene or paint something 'serious' that you might want to show others.

YMMV, perhaps some people get more out of it using a course or from a guide.
I'm not saying those jobs are scams, but what a coincidence.
You can eat heavily processed keto food too. Dirty Keto still works and not going to lie I do it a lot and still end up feeling better.
Regulation can be bad, but it can also be good.

People think of history like it was wonderful, but it was full of cons and scams. Reputation matters, and people with reputations charge a premium for it.

Some of the best aspects of regulations is exactly to remove the reputation tax by mandating everyone follow the same practices as the trusted institution.

The real sad aspect is that the crypto-libertarians of today are repeating some of the exact same clear scams from the wildcatting era, and when it's brought up, it's just mocked because, honestly, who is going to read a book about 19th century finance when you can just watch the new star wars show instead.

It's not something you need to justify to other people!
In my case joint-pain (petellar tracking) wasn't my running form, it was that running was the only exercise I was doing, so one of my quads was stronger than the others. I balance it out with yoga and swimming now and can run without injury (knock on wood)
There we go, a use case for NFTs! If Vancouver real estate was all on the block chain then people could steal it and so people wouldn't want to own it because it'd get stolen, and prices would drop!
According to Wikipedia Torvalds started developing that in 2011, whereas he started Git in 2005.

Best way to make money from crypto.
Assange was arguably mistreated by US law enforcement, but he never went on trial for the crimes he was accused of because he instead fled (to spend years on the run as a pathetic Putin stooge and apologist).

If he ever is successfully extradited to the USA, he will be afforded the same protections of the law as any other accused person. He will face a trial by jury, and have access to an attorney. The prosecutors will need to prove to the jury that he committed a specific crime.

But he won’t be assassinated, summarily executed, or imprisoned without trial, as regularly happens to government critics in Russia.
Yep! Using it to run a scheduling webapp for a number of fighter squadrons.
I came to say the same thing. I paint in oil but I would imagine with watercolors being so delicate and sensitive materials would make a big difference.
Yep, that's what I was getting at: Erlang/Elixir do this effortlessly. I'd love for the popular system languages to have the BEAM runtime.

Well, based on your comment, I might reevaluate Haskell. Last time I was severely put off by lack of good tooling (but I did hear cabal was improving) and a fragmented ecosystem. Maybe things have changed.
Fair enough, thanks for the link
>No doubt there are people in the world who do that stuff, but why spend your time with them?

Because the majority of women is like that and unicorns by definition are hard to find?
You can create a different wallet for each transaction, and do all sorts of complicated things, but nobody does.

Just like you could pay your phone bill with a prepaid Visa each month just in case they overcharged you.
There is not really much point in making more EVM compatible cryptocurrencies.

It's kinda of like if it were 1980 and everyone stopped making any computers that went beyond what CP/M needed. Or if they said look, we aren't making any new CPUs because 6502 is all anyone needs.
True. Another personal preference. That one is definitely a bit of a spectrum. I know my coworkers and if they have kids, but I don't interact with them on social media. There's a lot of variance in there, but to each their own.
They store heat in the sense that one of the components is a giant thermal accumulator.

Stocks are the definition of not liquid, in that their implied duration is 10+ years at least. How many fools are using stocks as an emergency fund during a tightening cycle that's removing liquidity at the fastest pace since the 1980's?
I graduated college in 2018, and, even though I majored in Neuroscience and wanted to do computational neuroscience research, that there was just no way I could accept the working conditions + cost of grad school, PhD, and postdoc life. It seemed like a terrible deal then, even as a young student who ONLY wanted to do research. Learning software engineering and breaking into the industry was SO much easier than continuing my education, and while I don't regret it, I have to imagine the deal has only gotten worse. The only people I still know doing research are fully funded by their parents, and even then most of them have dropped out for easier jobs. Cannot imagine the brain-drain that is happening across the US right now.
Right! So first to publish would have more credibility
Supposedly It can increase cranial pressure.

Memory leaks appear in BOTH (specifically, any data structure that accidentally keeps references to stuff will leak memory in python). The biggest difference is that Python won't create the particularly bad/dangerous memory leaks (eg, use after free).
I'd like to know what to do with ~10 000 euros, right now. Where should I put it so it doesn't lose its value and keep a bit with inflation ?

edit for a bit of context: Western Europe, renting, unlikely to be able to buy/invest into a house/flat, looking at gold ingots, not the nerve for crypto.
“Expected returns” is a bullshit statement. Whether you invest in a personal company or a different company, it’s still capital gains.
Cars from the 80s barely have any airbags. Crumple zones are worse, etc. Anything before 2000 or even 2010 or so is bad, really bad. Except for luxury cars, which are generally ahead of the curve.
How do you think those loans get paid?
I was reading the Wikipedia page about this debate and I find this low-level stuff so fascinating. Wish I had done CS instead of Physics.

At a low level and at a place of ignorance, I kind of wish monolithic kernels hadn't won, just like I wish the morbidly obese browsers hadn't either... They sound way more, well, sound in their theoretical basis
How exactly would regulation help in this case? Most countries already regulate pretty strongly against theft.

LOL it is not about me feeling very correct and people who think I am wrong are boomers. You can literally tell the folds in your brain have dissapeared with age. I was complaining about me being downvoted by boomers when I am just providing my thoughts for discussion as everyone else is. I have noticed this type of behaviour whenever my comments include 'foul' language or have takes that go against the general consensus on a topic. Again, I guess I have to apologize for being myself.

As to what the true intention of the federal reserve is..you think it is all economic theory and statistics that is controlling the biggest power decisions made with incredible wealth implications? Decisions that result in billions of dollars in profit on stock market trading. That is the reason for us having >5 percent inflation for 6 months.
btw "bad regulation" is usually due to regulatory capture [1] whether in legislation (ie, regulation without teeth, designed to fail) or in practice (ie, revolving door/corruption).

Which usually points back to the companies/industries being regulated.

Anyway transmission losses are immaterial when top-line generating capacity is so cheap.

China is building solar in Chile, at their antipodes, and a transmission line back to China with only 50% loss, for solar energy through the night.
> Tax free too.

I bonds are not tax free.

They can be tax-deferred, and some (educational) uses of interest gained can be tax excluded, for some people.
If only all the wars that were deemed "unlikely" before they began never happened, we'd all be much better off.

The problem is that once shots are fired, things can escalate very quickly, and decision-making is often not rational.
It's all about machines and oil, there's been reports of China's fishing boats making it to Galapagos and back, loaded! Don't think they needed a lot of tech to do it.
I'm going to avoid the quippy sarcastic response and try my best to be curious:

How would you occupy a city with only drones? What would it look like? Would they issue orders to civilians to stay in their homes? What sort of objectives that humans do now in war [0] do you think drones can fully replace?

[0] establishing forward bases for further logistical support, "securing" areas, including searching through rubble for humans and making sure they're not a threat, etc. I've never been in the military so I don't know from experience but I'm pretty sure there's tons of other examples here.
"Afghanistan" is a western colonial construct made up of many groups. Most states are western colonial constructs. We might need to move past that.
Online you can find a PDF detailing the differences between the pre-LotR Hobbit and the second edition (Tolkien rewrote comparatively small parts of the Hobbit to make it fit and actually didn't expect the publisher to release a second edition with the changes, hence the preface to the Lord of the Rings and Bilbo himself apologizing for "a different version of the story").

You can even see the "Hobbit-esque" writing at the beginning of LotR, remember the fox that sees them walking and talks to himself about it. The last we see of humanish animals.
