Environmental regulations and such also artificially increase the price of older buildings because you can buy existing buildings that don't fulfil new regulations but can't build new ones. This is effectively a top-down supply restriction of low quality housing.
The problem with torrents is a lack of expanding/versioning of a torrent

e.g. I'm Joe Rogan and I release all my podcasts into a single torrent, add one each podcast. JoeRoganPodcastArchive.torrent . Each addition should propagate if the torrent client accepts it (i.e. Joe can't sneak in a episode of Oprah as the user would catch that).

Debian_amd64_ISO_Archive.torrent , each release Debian chuck it in there. Up to the user to accept the new addition (likewise download selectively, as can be done already).

By now you should get the drift of what I'm on about. The key is you don't have to get another torrent file to "follow" (what would be) the expanding torrent.

It also serves to propagate new content faster, the change comes to the user rather than the user having to seek it out.
The local bookstore can even do same day delivery.
It’s a form of locking in customers. If I get a flat that I can’t plug myself, I don’t necessarily want to have to go back to any particular tire chain and argue over whether the tire is 55% worn or 45% worn.

We once got the tire policy included at no cost during a promotion. Got a flat that I couldn’t plug. I measured the tread with my treadwear gauge and unsurprisingly, their measurements came up short. When I pulled out my gauge and insisted we go out to check them, low and behold it turns out the tech had “made an honest mistake”.
Can someone elaborate on the quiet part of quiet layoff?
Dropoff/pickup time at the UK school where I work is atrocious everyday - 20mins queue just to get into the car park.

The difference is that coreboot comes up and runs a payload, something like LinuxBoot. LinuxBoot is then responsible to find the actual OS that you want to boot, and uses kexec to boot that OS. LinuxBoot still has to pass hardware information to the HostOS and then hand over control.

In Oxide this doesn't happen, the Pico thingy boots into their OS and that's it. There is no in-between step. The OS then simple loads the additional things it needs. It never hands of control to anther kernel.

At least this is how I understand it.

This global recession will be ruthless. I'm hearing of mass lay-offs even outside of tech now. I suspect people in the tech industry can expect to stay out of work for 6+ months.

The US for example is in a predicament economically with no clear way out, other than a hard recession. And that's without mentioning the energy crisis still to hit there and the food crisis that is slowly unfolding.
Kakoune has a client/server mode so that the client instances can talk to the same server. This way unsaved changes to a buffer are visible across instances + all the registers etc are shared.

Helix doesn't have that functionality. Kakoune also doesn't have splits at all where as Helix does, so the design philosophy is different between the editors.

Personally, I would prefer if tabs were first class citizens in the editor, but would make do with scuffed tabs if there was a server/client model implemented.
> Those 12,000 employees are first in line for every and any job, before anybody who does not have FAANG credentials.

At the same time, I think there’s growing awareness of the “quality” of a lot of tech giants. Once the market gets flooded with people who are too bad to even be retained at companies like Facebook or Google, it may merely end up being a black mark on your résumé.

Similar to how some people choose to leave the specifics of their degree or some unscrupulous jobs off their history when looking for jobs, people may minimize time at a FAANG if thousands of them are entering the market all at once.

When you’ve got 5 applicants who twiddled their thumbs at Facebook for 5 years and all with similarly overinflated work history, someone with a decent GitHub profile and a visibly launched product from a tiny Midwest shop doesn’t look bad.

"Thankfully" is an interesting view from the reader side. Would be interesting to know what was the impact on the authors side.

Got it cheaper because the authors got now less money or got it cheaper because the publisher got now less money?

Because I know, that (at least for technical books) the pay for the authors is not really great. It's more like a reputation than making money out of it.
Yep. An important concept is a "margin call". Funds are allowed leverage but within limits, and when the value of their assets (e.g. bonds) decreases then the leverage can increase. They need to put up more collateral (e.g. cash) to reduce the leverage to within agreed limits. But suppose that many funds are in the same situation at the same time! Now that collateral is more expensive and the leveraged assets are worth less. This can lead to collapses across the sector, which the BoE is very keen to prevent. Hence they intervened to prop up the assets.

And I'll add that if you bend over backward and twist yourself into a logical pretzel to defend racists from being called racist because of their racist words and racist behaviors and racist outcomes and racist supporters, then you're most probably racist too.

Those 12,000 employees are first in line for every and any job, before anybody who does not have FAANG credentials.

I don't think that's really true. Having a FAANG on your resume increases your chance of getting an interview, but very few companies will employ someone simply because they've come from a FAANG. It will always come down to how well you interview and what your tech test is like. Experience counts for a lot but most companies just don't need the sort of experience working at Facebook gives you.
That's a very short-sighted perspective.

Most companies don't need "rockstars". There's a lot of good tech produced outside of the FAANG bubble.

> The next 5 years are going to be a blood bath for junior, mid-level and just average developers.

A junior or mid-level developer is not the same as an average developer. There are plenty of senior "average" developers, and junior "rockstars". All of this is fine.
I wonder why HN likes projects written in C so much. C has its uses, but most of the modern code should be written in Rust, C++ or higher-level languages.

Breaking Down Security Roles
The Phalcon actually looks like a prettier version of the AEW Nimrod:

I once saw an unhappy looking AEW Nimrod sitting near the edge of RAF Kinloss (as it was at the time) - pictures don't really do it justice as to how ugly it was.
Easy and sensible why you might be against this. The simple reality is that BIOS did not prevent you to run anything you wanted on your machine. Recent developments are usually to restrict the user, so any change would very likely be bad. Extrapolated experience does not need to be true, but it very well can be.

UEFI secure boot is an example. Yes, it can increase security (although I think the threat is specific or outdated), but it can well be used to limit the user practically. And if such a mechanism is established, there will be a class system of trusted and untrusted devices. This is not a development that is hard to predict. So UEFI already failed to a large degree, at least regarding the openness of systems. It is no accident that some companies push these developments enthusiastically. It is not for user security, it is simply for market dominance.

That was an interesting read. At first I suspected it might be about ignoring one's own physical/mental well-being in order to be more productive, but it's more nuanced than that. I feel like the message is encapsulated by the following lines towards the end:

> this is a very real first-hand account of the joy of giving yourself permission to focus

I've noticed in the past couple of years that my anxiety levels decrease significantly when I get ill. I put it down to a combination of internalising that the office is not that important, and being too tired to ruminate on negative thoughts.

The trick now is to practise bringing that into my normal every day mindset. Turns out it's very difficult!
> The problem with the greater than 100% Debt to GDP ratio means that, should they decide to stop printing money, they'd immediately go into default on existing debt, regardless of the interest rate.

There's nothing that changes at a 100% debt-to-GDP ratio, and it doesn't have to mean a default. E.g. if the debt has an average yield of 3% and uniformly matures over the next 20 years, even at a 100% debt-to-GDP ratio the yearly cost to service the debt is at most 8% of GDP.

Where do you live? In Poland, developer after 40 or 50 is very rare - the market exploded in late 00s and 10s. That's very far from retirement and average age of developer is still in the 20s.
Hopefully not IRL ‘a quiet place.’
It's not a publicly announced layoff. These people will be "managed out" - they'll be put on PIPs, given shitty work to do, have constant reviews, never given any chance for a promotion or a raise, until eventually they choose to quit.
Depends on where you live, but for a great many, absolutely yes. If you're not oriented to walking, you may think no, but over a mile of distance is very straightforward. This is all personal bias, from fifth grade on I walked 1.5 miles each way. Was about 35-40 minutes each way until legs got longer and then down to 20 minutes each way. Perfect warmup time for school and decompression to get home.

If parents let their children think that walking that much is akin to abuse, beyond reasonable expectations, well, that's a very modern look that their grandparents would just not understand. It's like having cars and a safer world means they don't need to use their bodies more as part of day-to-day life, just reserve them for sports.

Missing some nuance, but that description is not too far off. The ownership/borrowing concept is based on the idea that every piece of data has a single owner. Particularly in cyclical data structures, it's not very clear who should have final ownership over what. This can make graph-like data structures somewhat difficult to express.

>I’m unconvinced that inequality matters.

It matters, but only to some extent. I agree that ideally everyone should meet some basic level of subsistence, and that Africa-like Gini values are undesirable in the long term. Neither, however, are Nordic/Eastern European-like levels, either.[1] Some amount of inequality, it seems, is necessary to drive long-term economic dynamism.

Botswana's Gini is among the highest in the world <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_income_eq...>, while Iraq and Egypt's are as low as the Netherlands. Botswana is probably a better near- and mid-term bet than Egypt (and perhaps a better long-term bet than the Netherlands), though, while Iraq might be better than both in the long term; such conclusions imply that Gini just doesn't say anything useful for economic potential, and that absolute figures measuring tangible things are the right way to judge a nation's growth.

The US's Gini is high among OECD countries but closer to the middle when measured worldwide. If that's the "price" we Americans pay for having Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Netflix (and Hollywood), Intel, Nvidia, Exxon, Boeing, Tesla, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, eBay, Amazon, Wal-Mart, Levi's, SpaceX, Disney, Pixar, General Electric, Gap, McDonald's, Coca-Cola, and Starbucks, I'm glad to pay it.

[1] Norway's per capita income adjusted by cost of living <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GNI_(PPP)...> is much higher than the US's because of its oil—it's basically a Persian Gulf petrostate relocated to northern Europe—but the US's is ~18% higher than Denmark's and Sweden's, and ~30% higher than Finland's. (And, before you ask, when measured by median net income, the gap between America and other developed nations shrinks but the US still does quite well, at #6 worldwide.) At $41,071 the US has the highest household net disposable income per capita in the OECD <http://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org/countries/united-states/>, where "disposable income" <http://stats.oecd.org/glossary/detail.asp?ID=46> accounts for healthcare and government benefits.
Chronic fatigue is always feeling tired but not as in “not enough sleep” but more like “running on low octane fuel”. I try to find joy in the doing less even though it is kind of frustrating. Keeping up with normal life is a challenge let alone being ambitious.
If find motions in neovim a lot easier to reason about than those in helix. A lot of actions that are pretty easy on neovim are a huge pain on helix.

I do appreciate Helix as a research project investing in new ideas, but I do feel it a lot more limited. Everything keyboard/motions related just feels much more limited than Vim. For example, re-doing actions makes little to no sense because most actions tend to be split in two. `3dw` can be redone just fine on neovim, but not on Helix.
You can think of it as analogous to booking a flight. Do you want the cheapest flight with a 16 hour flight and 2 transfers with Ryanair? A lot of people don't mind paying a bit more for a direct flight and a complimentary chocolate (lot, swiss air), even if all are legal.

Some websites even included an option to check as "worry-free" or similar to filter out these cheap options.

Book equivalents could be quality of paper, status of the book, or having good customer support if there is a problem with the order.
> Unfortunately, UEFI/ACPI or simliar seems to be going nowhere in the ARM world

What do you mean by that? Every ARM server has UEFI/ACPI, and it's now looking like every new PC using ARM will include it out of the box. The Google Pixel smartphones use UEFI. There are even UEFI images for Raspberry Pi 4. Sure, the embedded space is probably going to be holding out for a while longer, but seems disingenuous to say UEFI is going nowhere in the ARM world.

That's not what it means at all.

The question here is a question that the medical establishment is trying to answer: namely, "What can we, as the medical establishment do, to reduce deaths from colon cancer?" For a long time, the answer has been, "Invite people to take colonscopies". What the data here appears to show is that the action, "Invite people to take colonoscopies" doesn't actually reduce deaths from colon cancer. If the medical establishment wants to actually reduce deaths from colon cancer, they'll need to figure out something else.

I guess I do agree that the headline is likely to be counterproductive. What the data might show is that the most effective thing you as an individual can do is to be the kind of person who takes colonoscopies when invited. The unfortunate effect it might have is to make more people into the kind of people who don't take colonoscopies when invited.
> You don't use Monero to buy breakfast.

And why the hell not? It's supposed to be a currency.

> It's for large money transfers so at least compare it to bank wires.

And then what, exchange to USD? That'll bind it to an exchange rate, and create the same problems BTC has. Rather than having direct use as a currency, it's a betting mechanism.

> Very few people know about Monero yet. Credit cards were at 20K transactions per day at some point.

It's been almost a decade. That's an eternity in internet terms. If it only has 20K daily users world-wide then it's failed as a currency. People usually trade with people close to them, and if there's 20K people active in the world then that suggests either a very tight knit community somewhere nobody else cares about, or a bunch of nerds all over the world.

> If you know how to look at the chart you linked, you can see the TX count growing sustainably over several years.

I see it growing way too slowly and oddly. Yeah, there's periods of growth but there's also stalls and falls, and going back and forth. Growth also tends to start from a spike. To me that suggests Monero doesn't have that much traction of its own and in a good measure profits from the failures of other crypto systems.

I'm not sure if that's an accurate analysis on my part or not, but if there actually was interest in what monero provides I'm quite confident it should be growing a lot faster and be a lot more prominent. It's the one crypto that actually wants to be a currency, and yet near nobody seems to be interested in that, preferring to gamble with BTC and ETH.

> It's a more honest comparison to include transaction counts of non-fungible cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH that people are unfortunately using as a currency for now.

Those are heavily congested, so the transaction counts is mostly what the network is capable of, not what people would like to have.

> Enjoy your CBDCs in the metaverse.

My what? If you're talking about the project I work on, we formed specifically around the rejection of cryptocurrency and in general don't care for fiat transactions either.
In the US, I recall hearing a large number of years ago that the over/under distance for choosing to walk vs drive was on the order of 800 yards, or about a 10-minute walk for able-bodied schoolchildren and adults.
