Thank you so much for your critical feedback! I have been hoping no one would find out but you're totally on point. I have been realizing these things in myself and have been trying to figure out a better way forward. I actually really appreciate that you (and a couple of other HN users in the past) have pointed out stuff like this (it wasn't at all my intention to draw out such responses, I am just positively surprised by them and have benefited a lot from them).

That said, regarding the questions I ask, they are genuinely questions I have trouble sorting out. But I guess most of them don't have easy answers. I have benefitted greatly from responses in the past, as many of you have insights that I myself never would've thought about. Though I have to admit, the questions are getting excessive. I apologize for such behaviours and will definitely keep it in check going forward.
My sincere hope is that this signals the death of crypto in popular culture. I'm sure it'll always have a niche but up until now and for the foreseeable future there aren't any actual useful mass use cases for crypto.

The drop in crypto ad spend is an interesting (and meaningful) indicator of market sentiment. I'm thinking we won't be seeing 2023 Superbowl crypto.com ads. I could be wrong.

There's what? 20,000 coins? Most of them will die in the short term if they haven't already.

So I don't know if Bitcoin will continue crashing or stabilize. No one does. If they did they'd make a ton of money. In the very least I'd bet the bear market will continue for awhile but at some point Bitcoin or some successor will roar back to life.
Staffing issues are partly a knock-on effect of lockdown and resulting inflation. Benefits sanctions were suspended once lockdowns started, but never properly restarted (the civil service presumably doesn't much enjoy sanctioning people). So for a lot of people, they are getting free money without the obligations to seek work that previously went along with it, and benefits/pensions have also been pinned to inflation whereas private sector wages aren't. It adds up to strong incentives not to restart work again.
"An international move" doesn't need to be as expensive as you make it sound.

If OP were able to find part time work online, moving to a tropical climate in a new environment could potentially help their condition.

The biggest challenge would be medication, but even with that they could probably figure it out.

Living in a different environment can definitely help with your health. IMO, if they've been stuck where they are for years, it's not a silly idea at all to make a complete change of environment and see how they do.
I wonder how much on an effect prices have in this.

It's gotten more and more expensive to go out drinking, while the prices for alcohol haven't risen commensurately in my area. When you're paying almost the cost of a bottle of cheap rum for a single drink, suddenly drinking at home starts to make a lot more sense. Why spend $20 on a drink when you can for the same money buy a bottle of cheap alcohol, some mixers and snacks and have yourself and your friends a merry night?

On a side note, this made me wonder why prices on alcohol haven't gone up all that much, despite the recent inflation. Most of the prices for alcohol at my nearby grocery store are the same as they were last year and the year before.
I believe that everybody has the capacity to be creative, and those who think they don't are impeded not by a lack of creative spark, but rather by their own inhibitions and belief that they aren't creative. Part of this is cultural; engineers are told by society that an engineer/artist schism exists and incorporate that meme into their self-image, writing off their own ability to be creative. This becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy because creativity is like a muscle that needs to be exercised.

I've been seeing this misspelling a lot lately. It's "rein in," as in causing a horse to slow down by pulling back on the reins.
No, I've lived in California my whole life. I figured "on" came from the East, but I've only heard it British shows. I've also picked up a term I really like from the Brits (I think it's them): "get things sorted", "get it sorted"
It was always a pricey hobby and wages have stagnated. I think that was the main driver - the rest is post hoc rationalization.

Ditto with smoking.
Yeah, this sorting algorithm is something you can come up with by accident if you do bubble sort wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of beginners came up with this one in intro courses. I think I saw it around 2006-2008 when I was a TA and one of my students couldn't figure out why his array got sorted in the wrong order (don't remember for sure though).

For example, from 2016, here's someone not getting the difference between the two: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40786409/whats-the-diffe...

"Having your factories bombed" is, ironically, a huge motivator too. At the end of the war, Germans had better and more modern industrial equipment than the British, mostly hidden in improvised underground factories. What really suffered was the civilian housing stock, but the average German industrial machine was less than 5 years old - to a surprise of the Allied occupation authorities.

Both Germany and Japan rebuilt their industrial bases to become export juggernauts. And fairly quickly so. Experience with forced improvisation helped.

I don't. Why is Apple hesitant exactly?
No, I'm saying that the stuff you add makes it cheaper per gram.

I really resonate with the tone of the article. I believe unrepentant ridicule is the correct (and only) response to web3.

The OP claimed that the word TERF is clearly offensive, citing as evidence that "very few TERFs call themselves that".

The GP was pointing out that the OP's own use of the word "TERF" is counter-evidence to their original claim, unless OP was indeed meaning to bring offense.

Essentially, it would be like saying "the n-word is obsiously offensive, most n-words don't call themsleves that".

If you truly find the word offensive, you just don't use it to refer to the people it is meant to offend. The fact that OP didn't use another word to refer to this group is evidence that this is one of the best words we have for describing the group that it describes.
That's a common misunderstanding, but it's not true. TDD involves writing the tests at the same time as the code in tiny little steps. Write a few lines of test code that fail --> write a few lines of production code to make it pass --> refactor if needed to clean things up --> repeat.

What does the discouragement attack paper have to do with this?
I'm confused. What were the non-cryptocurrency "crypto" "companies" advertising anyway? This hardly applies to actual cryptocurrency which has never needed or had a use for advertising. No one advertises for the dollar or euro for obvious reasons. It seems to only apply to the finance-origin scams that rebranded themselves with the word "crypto" as camouflage for scamming the ignorant. And since the fiat valuation of actual cryptocurrencies is driven by the ignorant the relative value went down there too. But the fundementals, the operation of say, bitcoin, hasn't been effected at all. This is all off-chain BS.
Why would they be hesitant? Complex user experience?

I'll admit I've never scheduled a message for later, other than on Twitter since I've lived in some awkward time zones relative to the bulk of my mutuals. But I can't come up with a reason why Apple wouldn't want to add it.

The underlying platform of Micro.blog, the specific service sotu was asking about, is built on Hugo. If you make a Twitter-sized post, it will show up just like it would on Twitter or Mastodon or another microblogging platform; if you make a long post, you'll get a field to add a title, too, and when you read it on the timeline (and when it gets crossposted to Twitter, if you have that enabled), you'll just see the title and a link to the longer post.

The RR line on which the collision near Mendon, MO occurred is the furthest thing from "infrequently-used tracks"; these tracks are part of the "BNSF Southern Transcon[tinental]" line[0] between Los Angeles, CA and Chicago, IL, which carries (per previously linked Trains Forum thread: "Posted by tree68 on Thursday, June 30, 2022 7:59 PM") "The FRA/DOT crossing data shows over 50 trains a day..." (wikipedia[0] provides a higher number). And the vast majority of the BNSF Southern Transcon in MO (and elsewhere) is double-tracked, meaning trains can (and usually do) run near full track speed (90 mph in my understanding) without the frequent need to stop for opposing-direction traffic as would be typical on single-track lines.

Also, I don't know if you were applying the term to the road of the crossing involved in this crash, but this road is not one I would characterize as "well used"; more like "exceedingly rarely used" (thus the lack of active crossing protection).

Finally according to the previously referenced Trains Forum thread ("Posted by blue streak 1 on Wednesday, June 29, 2022 11:32 AM"), the railroad existed 60-70 years prior to the road in question. I believe it is this circumstance which places the onus on MODOT to defend the users of their later-arriving road from hazards associated with rail traffic on the preexisting BNSF line (with BNSF being an involved party).

I understand citing posts another public forum does not necessarily meet the gold standard of citations, but all of these facts align with my preexisting understanding of the situation.

Hacker News has gotten overwhelmingly anti-crypto to an extent it’s as bad an echo chamber as many pro-crypto echo chambers.

People have such a hatred for crypto they are overjoyed to celebrate a crypto crash. They were annoyed people they disliked were getting rich and now feel “vindicated” the bubble is popping.

But…have people actually looked around? Airbnb stock is down 80% in the last 6 months. Netflix, Twilio, DoorDash, and many many other companies have taken a similar beating.

Bitcoin has actually done much better then most of the tech stocks, especially if you look at a 2 year chart.

Amazing to see all this gravedancing when the crypto crash isn’t a crypto crash at all but a speculative asset crash and most of our jobs fall into that category.

Another funny dynamic is many pro-crypto subreddits hate NFTs but similarly we’re seeing gravedancing over monkey JPEGs even though the bored apes have held up better then many “serious” crypto projects.

My point is that people want confirmation bias for their narrative. And they are overjoyed to celebrate crypto crashing to extent it confirms their narrative it’s a big Ponzi scam that was due for a crash. But they seem less eager to be intellectually honest and work in the rest of what’s going on into that narrative.

If bitcoin falling 60% proves it was a scam what does Airbnb falling 80% say about Airbnb. And I know your answer will be they have a business model with cash flow. But these are all “a priori” assumptions. The crash is viewed in a different lens based not on evidence but on what we believe to be true beforehand.

Tech bros celebrating the death of crypto bros are knee deep in the icey waters of the Titanic sinking celebrating the guy whose shoulder deep as they both continue to sink, but due to preconceived notions refuse to realize they’re all about to drown from the same iceberg crash.

That’s super interesting. I’m not familiar with the book - but the point about the monopoly doesn’t surprise me. Things are never that simple. From a legal standpoint no one actually reaches a full monopoly unless it is a government instituted/regulated monopoly, no? Like, I mean monopoly as a pursued ideal and total victory state for a business, but not as an achievable goal.

My point mostly related to Amazon - they’re really not a monopoly, but they’re definitely strategically pursuing a direction which left unrestrained would give them that monopoly. In this specific example it is Amazon using their AWS cloud infrastructure to bundle video streaming into Prime to then create a mix that strangles competitors. In the case of Standard Oil what I remember were strategic investments into directly unprofitable rail infrastructure and then SO using that to exert pressure on smaller oil competitors to force them to sell at a loss. I’m no expert but I think this is what makes anti-trust so difficult to prove reliably.

> The federal government was supposed to be small, because the founders understood the downside of a large federal government.

Those that want to return to this need to start advocating to abolish freedom of movement and permit states to implement residency requirements to access services. That way State A can go ahead an implement locally the "large federal government" services like Medicare or Social Security, while State Z can choose not to. At the moment our constitutional rights mean State Z residents can freeload by moving to State A. This kind of problem simply wasn't conceivable when the country was founded.
Level 1) you package your service into a zip/rpm/deb/etc and have an agent on the machine that periodically pulls

Level 2) you pack your software into an ami and use the update the asg config. You can periodically "drain" the asg of old instances

Level 3) you deploy your stack again with the new stack having the ami that you've build at level 2 referenced. You start shifting traffic between the old stack and the new stack. You monitor and rollback if something is wrong.

> A core premise of Cocoa, and MVC in general, is that UIs are a projection of data into a different form of data, specifically bits on a screen.

This is a tangent, but the implicit assumption that the UI is visual is just begging for a response from an accessibility perspective, so here goes.

Accessibility is very much an afterthought in native GUIs, not only in Cocoa, but also in Windows with the UI Automation API, and AFAIK with other native accessibility APIs as well. With these APIs, the assistive technology (e.g. screen reader) pulls information from the application (usually via the GUI toolkit), through repeated calls to methods defined by the accessibility API. Often the AT has to do several such calls in a row (and those often translate to multiple IPC round trips, making things slow). And the UI might change between such calls; there's no guaranteed way to get a consistent snapshot of the whole thing, as there is with a visual frame. On the application/toolkit side, these methods may return different responses from one call to the next, and the application or toolkit has to fire the right events when things change.

The web improves on this, in that accessibility information is conveyed through HTML tags and attributes. And yes, this is included in the output of a React component's render function. So while in practice, implementing accessibility may still be an afterthought, it's not an architectural afterthought as it is in native platforms.

One of my goals in AccessKit [1] is to work around this shortcoming of native accessibility APIs, particularly for developers of cross-platform non-web GUI toolkits. In AccessKit, the toolkit pushes a full or incremental accessibility tree update to the AccessKit platform adapter, which maintains the full tree in memory and uses that to implement the platform accessibility API. This even works for immediate-mode GUIs, as one can see in my proof-of-concept integration with the Rust egui toolkit [2].
