It's something we're thinking about. It's difficult though because we're in the middle of redecorating so the house isn't really in a sellable state right now. Plus selling now out of fear that rates or house prices might continue to move against us and rebuying later would guarantee a loss that might not be necessary at this point.

Generally selling your home every time you fear that rates and house prices might move against you isn't a good idea. I mean you could have argued the same thing earlier this year when rates started to move up, so where you set the limit is hard to know. That's just the risk of homeownership I suppose. Unless you're in a very fortunate financial position for the first few years you just need to hope the market doesn't move against you enough that you become a forced seller.

I still think our best bet at this point is to just hope that this move in rates is temporary or that we'll just about manage through if they stay where they are right now. My plan at the moment is to see how things play out over the next couple of weeks. If rates continue to move higher over the next several days then, yes, I think we'll probably need to sell. But realistically it might already be too late. Given the panic right now realistically we may not be able to sell our house in this environment and in the state our house is currently in. Most lenders have withdrawn all mortgage deals because of what's happening in markets.

The thing people are not talking about yet is that it's not just mortgage borrowers at risk here, it would be very hard for rates to go much higher without it bankrupting the UK economy. Government borrowing costs are going through the roof right now so realistically higher rates would present a systemic economic threat when public debt is this high. The government themselves simply couldn't afford rates going to say 10%. The only way out if rates go much higher is massive currency devaluation which would be good thing for borrowers.

But that's just the rational part of my head thinking about this situation. The problem is this was caused by extremely naive fiscal policy that the markets are now punishing. Assuming the government is a rational actor isn't a bet I really want to take. Especially when the current tory leadership seems to be ideologically in favour of higher rates and lower taxes which simply can't work right now.
I generally agree about the runtime and language semantics.

However, (stable) OCaml not having multithreading support is still a gigantic limitation. Also, OCaml supports fewer target platforms, and I believe it's worse at cross-compiling (though I admit I may be wrong on this).
Even if Switzerland just buys LPG and transmits electricity using that LPG, it is much more efficient to generate energy in big plants than in car motors. I do not see electricity generation a problem. Long routes are still problem though in Europe where I am used to going with 170km/h, but 150km/h is normal on the highway in Eastern Europe.

The earnings are strictly dependent on the audience profile(location, age, gender etc.) and the theme of the channel as the earnings are essentially a cut from the ad view and click costs.

I've watched some videos from similarly sized youtubers disclosing their earnings and socialblade seem to be quite off the mark most of the time probably because they don't have a good way to estimate the profile of the audience accurately enough.

Rule of the thumb is, a finance channel with American audience makes 10x-50x more per view than a Bangladeshi channel about gaming.

So it's not easy to guestimate.

I am into chess, was studying it, have read few books on chess.

People who know near zero about chess seem to come out of woodwork to defend underdog who is attacked by the top level clique. Its understandable, but to me its akin to the flat earth arguments. All based on emotions, never have much to say about chess.

Anyone who knows a bit about chess (lets say advanced level), would point to the post game interview of game vs Firouzja as amazingly suspicious. It feels like a guy in group project who did noting and is trying to explain the project to their professor.

50/50 split is either illusion or its due to inflation of randoms giving their opinions.

No sound human would bee asking random ppl to determine if a patient has a cancer as a diagnostic tool. Cheating in chess is at top level extremely subtle, how is a random 1000 player any authority on the topic?

Since he mentioned the Discord benefit for Patreon, I'm guessing the ability to chat with him would be the biggest incentive. The audience really likes getting extra access to a creator and have 2-way communication instead of just being passive viewers.

His other Patreon benefit for the highest tier is early access to videos but in observing other Youtube creators' explanations, it's the live chat that attracts Patreon payments.

I do notice that some Youtubers do the reverse of Patreon tiers from Asianometry. E.g. Real Science: least expensive tiers have early access but no livestream chat; the highest tier has the chat

Everybody's trying to figure out the right mix of incentives for Patreon.
Glad you like them :)
With the current state of AI text generation, isn't this a recipe for disaster? By talking to a chatbot while learning a language you are liable to pick up whatever (vast) errors and mistakes the bot makes.
I'm not a physicist, but I read some of Reg Cahill's papers a long time ago when they got a mention in some science magazine. The video in a sibling comment is the same thing.

It's definitely a fringe physics, but my (perhaps old and faulty?) crackpot-meter hasn't gone off yet! (although regular physicists seem to dismiss it quite freely).

I'm not a strong proponent of it or anything but I just liked the overall philosophical replacement of objects with change/relation as the core thing and also especially the idea that space itself could have self-organized out of something more primordial (ie less structured/dimensional).

I experience a similar kind of perfectionist-anxiety-induced procrastination when I write, and it’s always bothered me that none of the “distraction-free” writing apps (I use Ulysses) that come with typewriter modes[1] don’t have an option to disable backspace or even re-map it to strikethrough.

I'm happy to take your word for the fact that it's reasonably split, I don't have a dog in this particular race.

The strange thing to me then, is that with regards to this Hacker News thread, it is fairly split in sentiment if you look at the total number of comments in either direction, but if you look at unique commenters it overwhelmingly swings one direction.

My question from that premise is, why is that the case? Specifically, I've never seen a hacker news thread with 250+ comments where a single person or a handful make up such a large percentage of the comments. The human effort required for such a thing is significant, and obviously that can't scale forever. I'd be surprised that with tiktok and youtube videos with 30000+ comments, if there's ever been a case of a single person responding 3000+ times.

I really like the model Apple are using is C grade only for CEO, Operation and Finance. The others are SVPs. There is no need for a CTO.

The first job of an SVP is to stand up to the CEOs when they are pushing for impossible deadlines.

The second job of the SVP is to stand up to CFO when they want layoffs. Or fight for more resources when they are pushed to the limit.

The third job, arguably the only thing that is technical, is to stop your sub coordinate pushing for what ever that is hyped in the industry to be used within your company.

It may sound easy in a small startup, doing the above three things in a large company is easily a full time job.

Also keeping the mobilized in 2nd-3rd line defense makes little sense. The current units on the front must be tired, decimated and in need of either retiring back for some rest/recovery/replenisment.

Also all this mobilization is unexplicably happening at the start of fall/winter seasons. When/if Russians finally manage to ship most of the people to Ukraine, it will already be winter, and they'll be freezing to death in areas with no working infrastructure, just like during late winter/early autmn earlier this year.

I really don't get it. The leadership must be grasping at straws with very little regard for human life.
> I wonder what the world would be like if I survive till the later parts of this century.

I suspect much the same as today, but somewhat worse. Electronic gadgets will continue to get cheaper, while essentials like housing and healthcare become more expensive.

The pace of change has slowed as the low-hanging fruit of industrialization has been picked, and the costs of negligence like pollution and antibiotic overuse will become more apparent.

- No major new household appliances have been introduced since the microwave.

I recognize the voice of the Dutch examples from Duolingo. What model are you using to generate these?
All of them!

* C, because it is so easy to implement anything you can imagine, there are libraries for everything, and the resulting code runs very fast (although I deliberately limit myself to safe constructs only).

* C++, because many things are so much easier (and often safer) to do in C++ than in C, and again you have libraries for everything, and the code runs fast. Modern C++ is quite nice. And you don't have to know all of C++ to write reasonably efficient code.

* Python, because there is nothing faster when you need to prepare a prototype, and sometimes the prototype is good enough, especially in io-bound code.

* PHP, because you can quickly code practically any web solution extremely quickly (and integrate with any JS framework you like), and the deployment is a breeze. Again, modern PHP has very little in common with the old language you may remember from 2000.

* Bash and traditional Unix tools as they allow me to do my job in no time. I took time to learn what each one is for and it just saves time. Yes, I could use Python to grab the first fields from a CSV file but normally I'll do it faster with AWK etc.

That said, I love experimenting with new languages like Nim, they are a breath of fresh air and quite fun to tinker with. Nevertheless, in my day to day work, I find myself using proven tools most often.

I feel like AMD having their "eco mode" is a pretty good solution - it allows the user a pretty easy method of deciding if peak performance or efficiency matters more to them. Better than a separate SKU for each.

The single biggest silver bullet for provable bug reduction that has ever been invented: GC.

Perhaps the Rust burrow-checker will prove to be the second silver bullet for bug reduction, but for now, the only thing that has ever been invented in programming language design that provably reduces the amount of bugs in an application is having a GC (not types, not getting rid of null values, not monads or other HKTs, not CSP).
That is a terrible security assessment and it is an awful model for the web.

OpenSSH's TOFU works in its specific context primarily because SSH targets have been connected to beforehand and you can't place an evil proxy between. In order to prevent issues with TOFU, we've got SSHFP DNS records (so, trusting DNSSEC).

Now with the web, it's already rather ridiculous to suggest that it's not a terrible security model to not visit any new websites on untrusted connections. Plus the seeming lack of alternative methods (like SSHFP/TLSA + DNSSEC) to establish trust with untrustworthy networks (which well, most networks should be considered as).

I think it goes both ways. Yes, eliminating unused variables and imports accelerates compilation. Also, compilation speed is a great deal for Go, but keeping the code devoid of unused variables also reduces the cognitive load of humans a lot. Keeping language simple is another feature which helps both ways.

You are correct not to get it. system-ui has been abused from the very start as a proxy for prettier default fonts, but it has semantics, and those semantics make it unsuitable for use as a body font. https://infinnie.github.io/blog/2017/systemui.html gives a simple demonstration of how it can go wrong.

The difference with an article about wildfire smoke is it would probably be obvious if it applies to you or not.

Think about it via an analogy - do you know how to fix your own plumbing? If not, how do you know who to hire to repair your home? In short, you look at what they have done, listen to people who have worked with them, and react accordingly. Once you have hired someone, you have your own direct experience with them and can judge for yourself whether or not their work met your needs. If they meet your needs, then the relationship is working. If not, it isn't so you let them go and find someone else.

Technical people looking up from the bottom often expect some type of meritocracy where being good at your job earns you promotions and responsibility, but that isn't really how leadership works. When you are trusted, you get promotions. For exactly the reasons stated above - leaders delegate to people they have worked with before and trust that the needs will be met.

So as a leader, decide who you trust. As someone lower down the chain, work to build that trust.

We evaluated about 10 or 15 of them and ended up choosing DatoCMS, a small startup with wonderful features and a terrific editing UI and rich plug in system. Their devs were also very responsive. A bunch of small QoL features like built in imgix support and graphql and such sealed the deal for us.

GraphCMS was a close second, with a very strong data model and solid API, but our editors (marketers, not coders) preferred Dato.

There are a lot of good choices out there. The only one we had a bad experience with was the industry leader, Contentful. They were both outrageously expensive (which wasn't the case when they first started) and also didn't really want us as a customer. They wouldn't even seriously meet with us without a NDA.

> > The farther you are from a big city center, the more you need a car.

> So what? Doesn't mean you need a car at the end of the day, let alone own a car.

And your proposal is what exactly?

BTW car sharing and carpools have been a thing for a while, including EVs. They are 2x or 3x more expensive than owning a car. And also not available as soon as you move about 10-10 kilometers away from the city center.

I live in a suburb with a population of 60k people, 11 km from the city center. There 20-ish charging outlets (3.7 kW and 11 kW) mostly in paid parking lots (2 EUR per hour after second hour of parking). There are two car pools offering a total of 10 cars at completely ridiculous prices (Volvo's M, I'm looking at you: >25 EUR just to start the car, 30 EUR for 10km purely electric, 27 EUR for 10 km ICE).

> It only means cars are more helpful than at the city centre.

Exactly. They are more helpful, and your proposal is to make them unaffordable for people who need them

> The same probably holds for your own helicopter

Reductio ad absurdum isn't nearly as strong of an argument as you think it is.

You can't pretend that the cost of EVs (both the cars and the infrastructure needed for them) isn't an issue just because you say "ah, they don't need it all the time" or "yeah, but steelman argument is public infrastructure". This just pushes reckoning with reality farther away, possibly beyond the point where it can be solvable.
>BAR is akin to Total Annihilation.

The mantra "us RTS players are the hardest crowd to please in gaming" is probably true. I've tried BAR. It has all the ingredients that in theory, that should make it superior to TA but in reality it just feels "less grandiose" and less fun as a result.

When a late game attack commences in TA, your radar turns a different color from all the units moving into position. The sound of an all out aerial assault goes from a cacophony of explosions to a crackling mess as you can hardly see from all the units amidst the pure chaos unfolding on the frontlines. After all these years it still makes me go "holy shit, that was brutal".

I have a couple theories as to why it feels better. I think it has to something with the fact that there is no zoom in TA. The contrast between a tiny robot and massive ear splitting explosion is ever present, whereas in post SupCom RTSes you have the luxury to distance yourself from the battle with the scrollwheel. Same goes for audio, the raw (and admittedly pretty coarse) sound of expensive late game turrets immediately strike fear into your enemy's heart.
