While it does seem like a perverse incentive, there will always be more customers than you are able to provide service to anyway, since no matter how good your documentation and how perfect your install process, issues will arise at the boundaries between your software and the customer's other systems, so integration services are valuable. In complex systems there will be more bugs than you can fix, so prioritization is valuable. Support is valuable because of the customers who have less experience with the software than you.
I suspect that post-internet and especially post-instagram and TikTok (it wasn't youtube), a lot of the UK's regional accents are going to get homogenised.
first of all, awesome job. I'm also a big believer in trying to code such models up to try to understand them.

But, and it pains me to say it, as someone with a bit of a background in economics, I dunno if realistic is quite the word i would use for your current model.

And I don't mean in a "all models are wrong but some are useful" kinda way. I think some of the limitations and simplifications might take away from the value of the model. I'd urge everyone to read the blog post to understand what's going on.

you've touched upon a lot of the apparent findings and paradoxes of macro, which is great.

to try to be constructive, I guess I would ask a rhetorical question to focus on a central (pun intended) issue: how are interest rates set by the central bank implemented? is it an independent variable that you kinda change, or is it implemented through changes in monetary + credit supply? I'm concerned that this is another one of those macroeconomic paradoxes built into the model that lessens its applicability: the idea that interest rates are a variable that the central bank issues by decree, as opposed to a rate that they target by adjusting other monetary/ policy settings?

anyway, good job. I love it when people actually code up and stimulate models :)
How does one create a thing and then lose the moral right to destroy said thing? That's not something I think you'll be able to justify to me. Just because it's destruction may hinder other people doesn't mean that it isn't the creators right to do so.
Sure, but 'I did these 10 things at the same time'?

I laughed when I saw "HOA board" in the filter list. I'm not sure what to make of that, are they genuinely anticipating that only right wingers will post about HOA boards? That is... something else. I thought everyone regardless of political ideology hated HOAs. I've seen insane threads on HN about hating HOAs I'm pretty sure, and europeans confused to no end about it.
I'm somewhat bemused, but also quite proud that Fred Dibnah has appeared here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Dibnah

I'm British but was completely unaware of the early stuff he appeared in, but the late 90s, early 2000s stuff crept into the public consciousness.

Our equivalent of OSHA is "Health and Safety" and Fred held a dim view. Fortunately his legacy is continued by "British scaffolders" - a famous sub-group within construction, who you can still see to this day getting utterly shit-faced in a pub on cider over lunch, before returning to site.

Not sure if this division of construction labour exists elsewhere.
If you pay a builder to so anything in the UK, they'll subcontract any erection of scaffolding to separate company, with a noticeably more cavalier attitude towards potential death and injury. Then your primary contractor will do the job, and the scaffolders will return to remove the infrastructure.

Also depends how you have many batteries paralleled and the amp draw per cell, for instance a single Sony vtc6 cell might be ok for 30A draw for short times but will heat up while doing it. And needs cooling/thermal dissipation solution. The lower amp draw per cell the less is lost to heat.
My limited understanding, is (feel free to correct me):

The problem with gold is that it's finite. It might be stable, but it's stable for a very small amount of money. The existing system allows us to create a huge supply of money that is used to drive the creation of these monster companies that end up doing things like inventing new microchip fabrication processes and iPhones. If you suck up all the money supply the economy might be stable in terms of inflation but it can't grow.
I really can't say whether that's correct or not. IANAL.

The licence in terms says you must give Corresponding Source to users "interacting with it remotely through a computer network". Does it suffice if I initiate a connection to a public $bigCorp server (and receive "access denied")? Or must I be able to successfully connect?

Maybe $bigCorp could put a proprietary authentication proxy in-between to avoid me "interacting with" the software. So, let me narrow my comment to address what you've said.

If $bigCorp wants to rent me access to improved versions of my software, they should give me the changes.
I like to keep my mining rig on a handtruck, and then I cart it from room to room to keep warm.

Ah, meeting a Deleuzian in HN is like catching a rare wild Pokemon...

The main gist I got from Deleuze and Guattari (without reading the actual books, only from people who seem to just endlessly talk about them) was: system dynamics are totally cool and rad, but we can only explain its coolness in excruciatingly obtuse language. Which is helpful for writing good poetry, but doesn't seem that helpful for actually making decisions in real life. (I've got to admit they have some really good quotable sentences in there too. Including the one that basically said in order to destroy capitalism you need to accelerate it, which spawned a mysterious cult in Warwick University.)

Jokes aside, if you think progress is dead and the status quo is shit, what alternative society are you imagining? (I think this is the most important question you can ask to any leftist)

Composition policies seem to be one of the hardest things to stamp out, as is evident here where ~45% of top sites still use them.

I got to talking about these types of policies with a friend who was asking about revamping the requirements at their company. I talked through it all, showed the math, showed how few extra minimum characters it takes to blow out all of the common complexity rules, talked about the simplicity, showed the latest research and recommendations from respected bodies, and in the end they still implemented them. Why? It'd be hard to explain the change to management and there was fear the users would be upset upon seeing the couple extra character requirement since they are already used to the complexity rules. Somewhat the "security theater" note in the conclusion but probably also a little bit of not wanting to argue with the Deloitte types of the world also mentioned in the conclusion. On the bright side they did at least add blocklists.

It would have been interesting to see information on MFA in the dataset though. The paper notes MFA may be a reason sites have shifted their attention away from password security but seems to have skipped MFA during the data gathering process making it hard to say much about it. Beyond security strength MFA is also a powerful tool to attack another password policy problem - expirations. It allows you to answer the question of "how long should it be acceptable for an advisory to have access to a compromised account" with "it isn't" instead of "6 months" or whatever the annoying policy is. And sure, improperly implemented/insecure MFA could be a whole paper itself, but it's hard to make claims of how many sites have weak/strong password policy without at least a cursory look at that path.
What you’re describing is not at all inconsistent with my view. The damn article was about “deprivatizing” the internet.

It also shows a shocking lack of understanding. The "Canadian Government", being the executive branch in this case, has no bearing on this. US requests to seize assets, force shutdowns would be handled by Canadian courts, the judicial branch.

The key mechanism for memory safety, generational references, is described here: https://verdagon.dev/blog/generational-references

IIUC it's basically a form of memory tagging in userspace, but designed to be safe (64 bits, very low risk of collision) and fast (language is designed to avoid tagging whenever possible: owning refs don't need them; inline objects reuse the gen of the parent; static analysis).

I buy that this can be almost as safe as reference counting or GC, and as easy to use, but faster. But not sure I understand how inline objects work, and how effective static analysis will be is important.

Twitter’s niceness prompts do alter behaviour, study finds
In the blog post (https://benoitessiambre.com/simcb.html) I explain why it's difficult to get inflation to rise very much under normal circumstances. I think it's mostly because I don't have a government doing deficit spending.

You can reach higher scores (through lower menu costs) if you try to maintain lower inflation (like 1% or lower), however keeping it too low can make it harder to keep stable and you will be penalized through menu costs if it destabilizes.
The point of my criticism is to show that we can do better without losing same day delivery. These companies are exploitive, and the more people who see that the more likely it is to change in one of three ways:

Through public pressure. I don’t buy from amazon anymore because of this.

Through government action. But given how partisan politics in the usa are, i wouldn’t hold my breath.

Through action from workers. Unionization and work stoppages. I think this is the most likely and the most healthy option for our society.

If you want to be a bystander while people’s lives get chewed up and spat out so a few people can get rich, that’s on your conscience.
yes of course. altering the gut microbiome is well established at this point to create deleterious outcomes potentially years down the line. But I'm saying our food in general is pretty toxic compared to what it was a hundred years ago. It i s drastically more processed and has much higher concentrations of unregulated and regulated chemical contaminants compared to ever before, and our physiology has not evolved to tolerate these things, so there is again higher potential for problems.

I don’t know what you would consider “deeply structural,” but not having influence over the money supply seems fairly structural. Going back further, the issues are larger: not having a central bank, not having a single currency, no deposit insurance, etc.
I read it the same way and completely agree with you. Grammar and the context in which statements are presented can be biased too.

I don't know whether they teach that in journalism school. My guess is that they do, and that this type of bias only leaks out now due to the overwhelming amount of citizen journalism that social media allows.

I think the other replies to you who won't consider this possibility are influenced by trying to take down Amazon, which in my opinion they will do to themselves if it is warranted. No media push is necessary.

Ask HN: As a senior engineer content with programming chops, what to learn next?
I am a senior software engineer who has been in the field for about 25 years. I mainly use Python and SQL and feel like I can use it to solve mostly all problems. I also have a good knowledge of programming techniques like functional, OO and logic programming. I am aware that as a senior software engineer one has to have other skills like caring about the team overall, and mentoring juniors.
I am wondering what should I learn next. Somebody said I should learn Go or Rust but I feel like if it’s another programming language, its really nothing new. Spend a weekend, do some tutorials and you should be good since you are a senior engineer and you know the basics that underpin programming languages.

What novel thing should I learn next that will enhance my capability as a senior engineer? Or open to my eyes to things that I haven’t considered till now?

I realize this is a vague request but was just wondering if there were other people with the same dilemma.

Thanks in advance!

The comment was worded poorly, since it was not clear if "they" was gender neutral, singular or plural, which could have referred to Gustave Eiffel and the sculptor. Either would have fit in that situation.

However, it is even more acceptable to refer to someone by their name, in this case Gustave Eiffel, instead of only using pronouns. Furthermore, "the architect" can be used, since it singularly denotes a specific person. There are many constructions that are better than using the imprecise "they".

This is insane. Look around at the economic turmoil in the US right now. The government spent $400B last year on interest payments alone. That’s 2/3 our military budget. We’re never paying down our $30T owed.

They fund the difference by selling bonds to the central bank, creating money out of thin air. This destroys the lower class, who have no assets that move with inflation.

In what world do you think it’s appropriate to deepen our debt burden and destroy American savings to “deprivitize” the internet? Americans can’t even afford healthcare and shelter for gods sake.
