The real wealth building doesn't come within a generation from asset appreciation. That's just speculation, the market can screw you.

But once it's paid for, it's paid for. Now you just need maintenance and taxes, easier on a fixed income. And it's easier to build intergenerational wealth if one of your children doesn't need to blow money at all on rent or home purchase.
Heaven forbid someone make a product that only serves 25% of the market
Svelte isn’t new but it sure is shiny! Svelte empowers me to write faster apps faster. And it’s loads of fun. The value proposition goes from the bottom (better DX), to the middle (better end-user experience), and up to the top (ship faster). I’ve built a career out of Svelte as a freelancer for years and have been loving it.

But, we were not. This thread starts with the claim that "NHS funding has massively increased under the Conservatives" (true) and someone else saying "that's simply not true". But it is true.

NHS apologists always seem to try this switcheroo: someone will point out NHS funding has massively increased - an objectively true claim - and then they'll be accused of lying, by someone who claims it's "underfunded", an entirely subjective and different claim. As you point out, both can be true, but the latter is not disproof of the former nor even a well defined statement.
Monitors still exist and they don't suffer from the terrible input lag that most smart TVs have.
It would be nice if this was the case. In grad school I taught in a building that was on a hill and had once been separate buildings so different entrances were on different floor and the transition between the former separate buildings was 4 stairs.

So there was a floor with rooms numbered 1xx and 0xx. There was also a floor below the 0xx floor. They just numbered it 00xx. And you could enter the building on any of those floors depending on what door you picked.

The class I taught was in 0005. Room 005 was someone's office. So on the first day of every semester we would have students waiting outside the door of 005 instead of 0005...

> there's a few massive wallets that are hoarding a ton of eth that will be given more power from the POS transition

It's not as if they're automatically given more power. Such hoards of ETH would need to be deposited in units of 32 ETH to activate unique validators. You could have a large number of validators that are actually a single computer program participating in the Beacon chain, but that doesn't make too much difference.

At the bottom layer, we're talking about the application of an open p2p protocol on the Internet. People can and will analyze the traffic for that protocol, and it will be possible to identify rough shapes and sizes of players in the network. And such analyses won't be long in coming to public blog posts, etc. following the Merge.

If decentralization in the network seems at risk, there will be efforts to remedy the situation. Whether they can succeed is another question.

Kind of becoming a sidebar, but I'm curious if Amazon RDS Postgres counts as "managed postgres"; or, more to the point, what something like Crunchy Bridge gets you over Amazon RDS.

(I have used neither Crunchy Bridge nor Amazon RDS, so this is an actual question, not a challenge! I have used Heroku postgres as well as self-hosted postgres)
But this same issue occurs with CGNAT IPv4, whose private address delegation is even more opaque than IPv6's prefix delegation. And CGNAT will become more prevalent going forward as address exhaustion becomes a bigger issue. There's no circumventing the fundamental problem that there is no 1-1 correspondence between IP addresses and "real" users.

> In addition, as mentioned by another commenter, when the dutch traffic rules were written decades ago, it was found that helmet usage correlated to increased accident rates - people take more risks when they feel safer, and that in turn makes pedestrians less safe.

I'm probably a bit of an oddball in this respect, but I do not regard helmets as a means of preventing injury. Reducing the severity of an injury, sure, but even then they are of limited scope (i.e. they are only really useful if there is a direct impact to the head).

Helmets are not an excuse for taking risks. They are a means of reducing the impact of accidents.

We are talking about the he numbering, not the work-doing.

You start waiting at 8, and you wait between events. But you only count (increment) when an event happens.

The 0 comes for free when you are ready to count (hello golang and C++, as well as human intuition).

When you count stars in the sky you don't say "0, 1, 2".

You say "..., 1, 2", or if no stars show up, you say "there are 0" after timer expires.

I have trouble seeing how this is relevant. We're talking about USA's criminal decisions in the middle east here, which was ongoing as recently as 5 or 3 years ago.

And the "other countries are genocidal maniacs as well" caveat only works if the person who is pointing out that the USA is a genocidal maniac is fond of another country, but there is no mention of any country to praise in this thread, just condemnation of USA's actions against individuals. All countries are genocidal maniacs, but only one controls the US military.
Can't you get around this by turning on x% of your hydro capacity to 100% rather than turning 100% of your hydro capacity to x%? Also, batteries are really good as a short term storage, so hydro only needs to work on the hours to months time-scale.

They were on the way to free over the air free HDTV till the cable companies started trying to kill it.

To me it is messed up the commercial/programming/cost ratio if you look at providers like youtube and Hulu. We are all getting less for more money.

And all this streaming just fragmented society even more. I remember when we all used to (locally) talk about the recent show that we all watched at the same time, or the same news program. Now you have to catch up to all your friends because they streamed a whole series in one night. I mean we should just call them extended length movies anyway.

I purchased a battery (just a battery) for my 2013 MBP. It was a pain to replace, but I replaced it with the help of an iFixIt guide.

I believe it's that kind of guide people expected Apple to publish.

So you may be right that it's always been Apple's policy, but the point was that the self-repair program is falling short of expectations. iFixIt set a standard and Apple has fallen short.
A lot of people seem to believe that dynamically typed languages make development easier, because you don't have to worry about writing type annotations or going through the extra steps to fix compile-time errors.

This is arguably true for small scripts, but for anything non-trivial I find that static typing means I can be more productive, because type errors are caught straight away (rather than potentially in production), and I can be much more confident in refactoring code because I know certain kinds of errors will be caught by during type checking. This doesn't remove the need for automated testing, but does reduce the number of test cases you have to write.

Things have improved a lot in the Python ecosystem of late with the introduction of type annotations and mypy, so to the extent possible I treat Python as if it's a statically typed language, putting type annotations everywhere and always making sure the codebase passes type checking before pushing a commit.

However, the fact that this is optional sadly means that not everyone does it, and if you're working with parts of a codebase written without this level of discipline, you're basically back to square one. I've come to the conclusion that for medium to large projects, dynamic typing encourages sloppy programming, because it doesn't force people to think as carefully about what exactly their data types are, and whether they're being used correctly.

> Furthermore, it should be easier to debug parsed stringly-typed APIs using the `infer` keyword. Today, I just run the compiler over and over again until it stops throwing errors, and the errors are really not very helpful.

This paragraph kind of sums up both the OP and this whole HN discussion of it. So I'll throw my comment on here, although I suppose it could go pretty much anywhere.

Anyway, one way to read it all is: This just goes to show that

1) JavaScript sucks;

2) Therefore the whole world of "Web apps" built on it is an unmaintainable buggy nightmare;

3) Trying to graft "strong" (not really) typing on top of it in the shape of TypeScript is just polishing a turd.

It's like somewhere around 1995/2000 the world of computing jumped through a time warp back to 1975, and we've been stuck there, in a world dominated by the new BASIC, ever since.

I know about that but thanks for your comment - I’ll clarify what I mean.

It’s just the specifics of how this works - slashing is part of the protocol in the sense that I described: when you are chosen to create a new block and you have proof that someone violated the rules then you include this proof in your proposed block and update balance. Any validator can do it including the smallest of home stakers.

More details here.
https://github.com/ethereum/annotated-spec/blob/master/phase...

Here we have slashing fields in the block body where you insert your proofs of slashable offense. There are functions with a “slash” in the name that describes precise state transition.

The hard part of slashing is finding these proofs because you have to do more work than necessary to detect slashing and produce proofs - that’s what this software does. It’s more expensive to run a slasher but you need only one and it does not matter who runs it, anyone can run it. The link that you sent says that this slasher broadcasts proofs by default - that way anyone can include it.
I like how most of the signatory are people in fields unrelated to climate science

Covid 19 and the western economic crisis certainly had an impact on the a-segment, and vendors have also phased out ICE models indeed. however the "couple of years" is a small number and all vendors are working their ways to provide BEVs into that segment.

also the context of my statement is this thread, and a comment claiming vehicle safety being the problem of the A segment, to which your comment seemed to suggest "yah it's also in decline, see: ..."

to which I dare to claim: nope, it will happily come back as the economy recovers and the top mass producers (TMC, VW, Stellantis, RNM alliance) master BEVs.

> The team placed 50 superworms in a chamber with polystyrene as their only carbon source, and after 21 days, the worms had consumed about 70% of the plastic. The researchers then isolated a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria from the gut of the worms and showed that it that could grow directly on the surface of polystyrene and break it down. Finally, they identified an enzyme from the bacteria, called serine hydrolase, that appeared to be responsible for most of the biodegradation. This enzyme, or the bacteria that produce it, could someday be used to help break down waste polystyrene, the researchers say.

It is decomposed into simpler components that can be used by the bacteria itself for energy.

When it drops into the groove it feels better, but if you're increasing the pressure on either side, you're still compressing the artery and the nerves. The wider the seat, the farther back you sit, the better off you're going to be."

It's funny as I've worked in publishing a long time. 6 1/8 x 9 1/4 is a pretty standard book trim size. 40 copies is pretty short run, and at least one of the printers I would have used for a job like that has gone out of business. I haven't had to do a job like that in a while. But with a lot of printers offering super-short-run digital presses, I'd think it could be done without huge hassle.

Perhaps you're talking about a different kind of "churn". I'm not talking about adding drivers and things to make hardware work better - I'm talking about changing commonly used commands and changing how things work from one version of a distro to the next.

For instance, does "ifconfig" need to be replaced by "ip" in order to support new ethernet chips? Do you need all sorts of new invocations to systemd because a new generation of Intel graphics is supported? No.

It may be a personal opinion that people don't want or need churn, but what I mean is that when people want to use a system to get things done, learning new invocations for old commands is usually a distraction to getting those things done.

3) Users have conclusively voted for it to be this way. We know it's this way and we're still buying iPhones instead of Android. What's annoying to me is that people like you, a lot of people, are still unable to summon any respect for the legitimacy of THAT choice. You can only think of the choice that YOU want.

> Agreed, but I think people make too big a deal about iterators.

I may just have more time to dick around, but I've been forcing myself to write everything as an iterator in Rust (instead of a for loop) just to learn the paradigm and, honestly, it's been pretty great.

First, there is a performance impact. You may think this would be small, but, in my experience, it can be relatively large. There must be several reasons of which I am ignorant, but they probably include mutable no alias inside closures, bounds check elision, etc.

Second, there is a mutability advantage to just using filter/flatten/map/collect for 90% of your use cases.

Third, the more advanced iterator methods will cover the other 5-10% of your use cases, and will make your code much easier to read, once you understand how to use them (if you're trying to learning something/anything more complex at the same time, save your brain power!). I don't have a single traditional for loop in my personal projects.

My take on iterators is, for iterator/Rust beginners (like me!/perhaps not you) -- the best way to learn is to get it working as imperative code, and when you have the time, go back a rewrite as an iterator. In the beginning, it's super frustrating. But you'll get better and better and, after awhile, you'll much, much prefer writing as an iterator. You won't even think of using a for loop.
