Assuming you plan to live in the house, I wouldn't try to time it.

Inflation could cause the price of houses to skyrocket (and the value of your down payment to tank), and interest rates will certainly increase for the next few years.

Current prices reflect people's best guess as to which way things will move.

If you want to buy as an investment, I suggest diversifying as much as possible. If you already have enough assets to tolerate the additional risk and can still get a sub-5% mortgage, then maybe buy an investment property right now (in expectation, it's still free money at those rates, and, even if the market tanks, the price of the house will probably bounce back in the long term).
I presume GP would call a weekly release "rapid", too.

Given the tone of the message, I expect "non rapid" to mean with a much longer time frame, and, most importantly, the release must be controllable by the user.
I was skeptical of screen readers until the Kindle e-ink. Have some OLED or LCD screen that you find on the standard tablets like some of the original Barnes and Nobles Nooks was just not appealing or comfortable. e-ink screens have definitely been a value on on my personal appeal on them, especially the Kindle's backlit ones.
The previous article you read may have said something like "nord stream 1 is shut down"? Or 2? Russia delivered gas to Europe via about five pipelines. One to Germany has been shut down for good, the other one to Germany is throttled heavily now, I don't know what's happening to the one that passes through Belarus and Poland, the one through Ukraine is working but of course subject to excitingly volatile politics, and the one to Turkey has no onward connections IIRC.

If someone like Viktor Orban wants Russian gas this winter, through which pipeline will he get it?
Not directly related to the question, but I personally hate the term "Sprint". Physiologically, a sprint involve by definition is a short-term high effort activity that can't be sustained without a break.

Does anyone use a different term that doesn't imply working oneself to death?

"Their immediate ancestors aren’t even from the same parts of the world; Mr. Chasen’s forebears hailed from Lithuania and Scotland, while Mr. Malone’s parents are from the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas."

Clearly both men have European ancestry so where their parents were born doesn't matter at all. They could have at least traced Malone's parents back a little further. Given the surname you'd expect Irish ancestry which overlaps with Scottish a fair bit.

Recently I've been reading "When Agile Gets Physical" [1] and "Extreme Programming Explained":

1. "Extreme Programming Explained" explains the importance of separating values from principles and practices.

2. "When Agile Gets Physical" unpacks why using agile software best practices are horrible for hardware. This is "duh" if you're a hardware person, but the book goes back to agile/lean first principles, and then builds up an approach for agile hardware.

It got me thinking that we often conflate values and practices. Blinding adopting Scrum or DevOps without understanding some of the underlying value and principles leads to problems. If you understand the foundational principles, you're in a much better position to adopt/reject certain practices for your given situation.

In reality, most organizations just adopt a few agile practices, while rejecting the basic values.

Understanding Diffusion Models: A Unified Perspective
Something I've often seen on HN (and really, all forums) is a problem similar to the X-Y problem.

For example, someone might say "Video games are a waste of time!", and people will try to defend them, citing examples of games that require a lot of thought, or tell an amazing story, etc., but they respond with things that just feel like non-sequitors, and it's only after a dozen comments or so that we REALLY find out that the original commenter feels that all forms of entertainment are a waste of time, and that everybody should spend all their waking hours either being productive or learning something.
I find it funny when people who spend most of their waking hours under a de facto totalitarian leadership (the workspace) expect that companies extend the same rights to their userbase as the US constitution.
This is why the Inflation Reduction Act is so effective. It attacks inflation from both ends. It raises taxes more than it increases spending, so it reduces the money supply. OTOH, it encourages investments in green energy, likely leading to a substantial reduction in the cost of energy in the long term.

The CBO only measured the first effect, but the second is much more important, IMO.

It doesn't do much for housing, but that's mostly a local issue (aka zoning).

If the US rented a Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk equipped with appropriate imaging systems to these governments the poaching game might change. Lesser reliance on corrupt rangers. Unfortunately I doubt these things make financial sense in the name of conservation
Oh man, that's the trap. I do like to learn new things, I swear. But at work I want to focus on what I do best: feature development. Sure, I do know terraform and k8s and what not (because I play with them via my side projects), but at work don't give me the Ops/Platform hat please! It's cheap labor (your company doesn't want to hire a dedicated platform engineer to handle terraform/k8s/etc. and instead assigns you (the developer) that responsibility claiming "you are gonna have fun learning" and paying you 25% more in the best scenario)
From last I read PKR was a better choice if you have the time for it to heal because it removes far less material and doesn't form a flap which is a physical weak point that hard physical activity or a poke in the eye can dislodge.

But with PKR you also have wait like up to a month before vision is clear again, versus lasik giving mostly clear vision within like a day or so. So with PKR long term it is less physically vulnerable but it puts your vision out of commission for a week or two atleast.
> the USA can't defend its supply chains

That's a bit of an exaggeration. Maybe 10% of the US's supply chains can be considered to be under threat. If China stops trading with the US altogether, then it would be more, but China can't do that.

The world is not about to end. The Fed absolutely matters. Just look at what happened on Friday afternoon when Jerome Powell spoke and people thought that he sounded more hawkish than it was expected. Nothing changed, except some words, and the markets took a dive.

Powell can make the equities markets go down 20, 30 or 50%. It's a kids play for the Fed to orchestrate a recession, not to mention a depression. The tricky part is to orchestrate a soft landing, but soft or hard, a landing we will have.
This comes up every so often and in my mind, there is an answer and it has to do with how well the notes in the "temperament" combine to produce near-enough approximations to simple fractions.

That is, take a temperament, combine each pairs of notes together. For each pairs of notes, find a close-enough fraction to it and give it a score depending on how many of these pairs produce simple fractions.

The 12 note equal temperament produces one of the best scores, assuming some (perhaps arbitrary) constraints.

There are some papers getting at this idea [0].

I even wrote a small program to try and do this [1]. Farey sequences are used for best rational approximation [2] [3].

I think this even gets at why some chords sound "sour/sad" while others sound "happy/full", because they have less or more constructive interference between the notes in the range of where we can hear.

Obviously this has a lot to do with culture, so it's not as clear cut but at least this approach is better than just thinking it's completely arbitrary.

Kinda wondering what his beef with Hamasaki was that prompted "Resign you piece of shit". Seems like this was a Board of Education person, was he that bad, like poisoning the kids school lunches?

edit: sorry I realise that I may asking some stupid questions that everyone knows already. But to me Garry Tan was just the Posterous guy. I'm just a bit floored to hear that there's more to this and I'm trying to find my bearings. Seeing the name Andy Ngo is a massive red flag to me, but I can't really parse what was being said in the tweet.
It sounds like you're starting with the assumption that if someone writes software to fill a hole of theirs, that they would almost certainly make it public. I don't think that's true for everyone.
I think Garry changed my life in 2013 and might be reason why an awkward inarticulate engineer got into YC. He believed in my me and my cofounder.

To me, Garry is one of the people that embodies the spirit of YC. See some kind of potential in early founders (my cofounder called this "a twinkle in his eye"). Believe in them. Give them a shot.

Being a founder is SO lonely. Especially when few believe in what you're doing.

So happy that Garry's back.
I tried to watch that interview. It's just dry, boring, slow and abstract (to me) but I'll grant you it wasn't what I was expecting.

We weren’t doing QE until 2008 and the scale of the deficit is quite a bit different.

CPI is such a wack metric. It doesn’t really measure so much the value of the USD as it does “prices of certain things”.
I agree entirely, but it seems that they're basing their calculation off of extent rather than volume, because 2012 isn't the low point volume.

This is correct [1]. The American economy has grown, decade to decade, every decade of its existence. If the economy grows and the money supply does not, bad things happen

I think one of the problems with the terms "Agile" and "DevOps" is that they are pretty general and generic terms that they are trying to cast very specific meaning too...

“So you’re saying you’re not an agile team?” Sure we are appropriately agile for our needs, no need to be rigid about it...
I'd like to see a private equity style Competition Authority. The idea being the gov would come into a monopolized market and fund new competitors. I say PE because I'd rather the people profit if successful rather than subsidies but the real point is funding more choice vs only having the power to breakup or constrain existing corporations. Another tool in the toolbox.

rapid release is better because the less you release at a given time, the less that can go wrong.

A lot of places just don't have the ability to maintain code quality requisite to do the process properly.

So I think we've moved from it being ok to be unprofitable when you start a company to it being ok to be unprofitable for decades...
>I think this article points to a missing product in the market - integrated cloud services but with the cloud located on a private server in the home.

I don't know, this sounds like a technical solution to what is a political problem. Gmail, today, already scans your email for ads; what if congress decides that they started doing CSAM on your emails? How feasible is it for everyone to host their own email in that situation?

This also echoes the controversy with CSAM scanning in iCloud. There is no clear national consensus if the government should be allowed to invade your privacy when it comes to child abuse. Ironically, terrorists seem to have better privacy protections than a pedophile.

Personally I don't think CSAM scanning of your private data should exist, much like I think everyone should be afforded E2EE communication even if they might break the law with it. Whether we allow our privacy to be invaded in such a manner is a political/regulatory problem. A "private cloud" doesn't help if congress decides that comcast should also be allowed to MITM your SSL connection to scan every image you donwload.
Yes I am. And the ones I'm referencing clearly show that ballooning memory is not equal to higher latency, as you claimed. You might say there is a correlation but those are due to other factors and not amount of memory used.

I think the Fed would agree with you. Powell and Yellen before him have indicated that they think fiscal policy is a much better means of addressing some of the issues they’ve tried to deal with via monetary policy, but the Fed can actually act while congress generally refuses to do so (IRA aside).
"DevOps" is a corrupted term. It just means sysadmin at this point.
I agree, if we're talking about places big enough to have multiple teams. The thing I was pointing out is that most places that have multiple teams are terrible at setting up best practices. They'd be better off with a centralized "environments" team provisioning the server, network, etc so the dev teams can work on the actually implementation. At least it's easier to maintain standards, or at least consistency, across apps if the low/mid level config is handled by one team.

When I was talking about small places, I mean like tiny mom and pop non-tech companies with an IT department of 1-5 people.
6% or ~500 lives per year according to this article (though it notes an increase in vehicle related deaths, so some of that may be cancelled by the additional road traffic) - https://qz.com/2038153/drunk-driving-deaths-dropped-as-more-...

Not a bad result, but probably not worth the problems that their current business model entails. There's clearly opportunities for better transportation options, they just need to make economic sense.
It doesn't mean "get out of jail free card for cryptonector being wrong", no.

The simplified model that leaves out tricky implementation details is just "every file that's different is a different blob object, stored in full on its own, under the hash of its contents". If you work with this model, you're basically correct in all your reasoning, except that in reality a bit less storage is used because some objects get packed. If you work with the wrong (wrong! not simplified, wrong!) model "every blob object is stored as base-and-deltas", you won't reason correctly about either how the object store presents itself in plumbing commands or how it's stored.
That's kind of my point though. SpaceX isn't claiming that Starship is boring old reliable 60's technology. He's promising a rocket with huge leaps in capability. It's a lot to ask to do all these new things and do it reliably enough for human-rated space travel.

I mean, their engines are still melting which means they fundamentally don't have the lift capability they claim. I'm sure they could get them to work if they just ran them cooler, but cooler engines means less thrust and that changes everything about a rocket's capability.

And that's what makes it exactly like the self-driving car problem in my mind -- they're stuck at an impasse that might not really have a viable solution all while Musk is saying they'll be delivering any day now. You just can't trust a thing he says about when and how much they'll deliver.
> You're moving the goalposts

Don’t believe I am. I specifically caveated “at this stage, assembled and fuelled on the pad” because an engine under a fully-assembled rocket has assumptions made about it that one on the test stand obviously does not.

> list of notable failures last year

How many of these are engine failures? None, based on my scan.

The engine can be tested separately. That makes them wildly more predictable in a way the rest of the rocket, which can’t usually be similarly tested, is not. As someone with a background in aerospace engineering, I perk up when someone’s engine fails at the pad, because that—nowadays—shouldn’t happen.
so if i install a recommended mozilla add-on like ublock origin that has an extreme permission like "access your data for all websites" does that mean that every update to the add-on sees rigorous security review by mozilla before it is pushed?

if not, is there some mechanism in place that can reduce worries around software supply chain attacks on a privileged piece of software like this?
Easy when it's a color change, but this attitude is horrible when it comes to anything functional. You stop being able to learn how things work because someone wanted to make a small tweak, and now you don't even get notice it's happening.
