That's what it does.
My mom has the same problem. She got into wood carving, found she's really talented at it, has done some pieces on commission and gets paid extremely well when she does. But to her it's a hobby and not a job. My dad kind of knows this but still keeps suggesting she do things like keep social media accounts, etc., and to do things that would maximize her "business". Why he keeps doing this, I dunno. He's an engineer type so I think he also just gets satisfaction out of optimizing things. My mom would however like to just do it whenever she feels like it and only do so much commission work that she would be able to take her time on it and take vacations without being on the hook, and of course to still actually enjoy the craft without being concerned about making money or constantly improving efficiency (which is counter to artistry).

> Similarly, I did programming as a hobby growing up. I turned it into a career, and now it's the last thing I want to do in my spare time.

Yeah, it's hard to keep up. When I was a junior programmer making my own stuff and putting it on Github was really exciting. Now it's challenging to get the motivation to do it as a hobby even if I know I've got a good idea I want to work on. Once you get to senior level as a software engineer, a lot of the joy kind of disappears. Since seniors are looked to in order to solve the really hard problems, as well as clean up the worst messes, our brains just get exposed to the worst sides of programming and I think part of us realizes how much code is simply wasteful.
> public since quite a while...

I think this is an interesting point. If you were to suddenly flip a switch and have all US data exposed the same way, I think there would be chaos and maybe even violence.

But I think that speaks more negatively to the current state of America than it does the idea of having information be public.
I made a course page for anyone interested in taking SICP in future
It's modelled off the Berkeley 61A lectures from 2011, before they switched away from Scheme. It collects material strewn around dead links and abandoned course pages and puts it in an easy to digest format, with all the materials you need provided in a repo.
For work, it's a HP Zbook 15 G4 with Windows 10. Personal, a ThinkPad X1 Carbon (Windows 10) and ThinkPad T420 (OpenBSD). Downstairs, a Surface (Windows 10), if I need to look up something.

Although not being used at the moment. I do have several other ThinkPad T420 laptops (Windows 10, Windows 7, and FreeBSD), if I need one for something.
Why is that? Don't you want to share your hard-earned knowledge with your friends?
I sometimes hear people say this, but it makes zero sense to me, and I can never get anybody to explain what they mean by it. Could you try to explain how we have enough houses but somehow corporations are the problem?
I came to make this snide comment as well! Nobody tests their backups though, I've only ever seen it done inadvertently when the backups were used as part of the development process.
It's 2022. Test your backups.
I guess in my mind, short of the ultra-rich (someone with half a million plus in cash) and investment firms, the two are equivalent.
I just left a comment about a deathly similar situation 2 of my Swedish friends have been in. It hurts my soul knowing they will never have the mental capacities to get justice.
It could also have easily meant "you" as in the person evaluating the application, "you" pedantic ass.

If it doesn't change you chance of admission then what is the applicant supposed to be infering from your cryptic instructions?
Yeah if I had a noisy wind power device on my roof... I would not be happy about it.
This was me as well; I should not have been allowed in, I took someone else's spot and I forever feel a tiny bit bad about that. I was not ready for college, and ultimately never graduated.

I'm plenty smart, I just needed an extra couple of years to mature before I was ready to take on the responsibility required for school, but by then my software career had already begun in earnest so I never returned.
> Its generating a binary which is exposed to swift using the same mechanisms that objc libraries use. I.e. it compiles to a native binary (an xcframework or framework, I forget which). It doesnt transpile.

right, though the native library (xcframework) exposes its interface as objc objects (.h header files), since swift only knows how to read c and objective-c modules afaik...

>I don't think most people who invested in housing in the last couple years, are ready to believe that yet.

Because it isn't going to happen. The people who invested in houses years ago locked in a low interest rate, and will happily just rent them out to cover the cost until they appreciate again.
Can you use your web browser for all functions of the banking app?

E.g. for my bank the app is the only 2FA option that doesn't come with additional costs.

Low rates meant that people could cash out refi at lower rates.

Don’t forget there’s a small but still notable number of homeowners with ARM mortgages.

Swatting works in USA because of how the police handle it. In Sweden, and in most of the world, you would get a knock on the door and some questions from two policemen. US police going in blind no-knock raids with weapons hot on the basis of a single anonymous phone call is the issue, not public addresses.
That bike salesperson is (probably deliberately) steering you away from the secondary market. Bikes hold value decently well in the current moment, so selling your cheap hybrid in a few years and picking up a local dentist's second hand race machine is totally viable.
Isn't this more about the GraalVM, as an alternate runtime to the JVM, than it is about Java, since the other JVM-target languages can leverage it also?
(Note that it is not thousands of new people each year. It is the number of people that has this protection. Out of 10+ million people,)

Good question.

From a technical, byrocratic point of view it breaks a lot of systems, which makes practical aspects in normal daily life hard. But that could be fixed, right? Efficiency over privacy is a political question.

But, as someone mentioned earlier the constitution and the general culture, society formed from has (probably - I'm guessing) fostered an openness that not only applies to public services and organizations too. For many people and generations, the government has been seen (and still is) perceived as something good. Something Swedish citizens are part of. But of course there are also people and political parties that think private privacy is more important, and should be increased.
> You could define a statically compilable Java subset (like that which gcj used to accept) and build a runtime in that which would mean omitting features such as reflection but a lot of defacto standard java tooling like Spring Framework would not be compatible.

But the JVM you build using your statically compilable Java subset can then run the Spring Framework or whatever.
The article is not correct on salaries being public:
What is public are your tax reports and those are done a year later. To my knowledge you cannot see all details either, only totals that the tax is based on.
Thus I think your statement is wrong or at least it is not related to the public databases mentioned in the article.
I had the nearly the exact same stats and situation. Even the mf colorado school of mines rejected me

I never said anything about "no trial", I said that murder and exile are the only two effective sentences for people like slavers. There's no amount of "personal rehabilitation" that excuses it.

A light touch only ensures that people who are effective at manipulation of those with better goodwill than them can avoid the two fair sentences. Long prison sentences are unnecessarily cruel and a net drain on resources. The only reason to forgive slave-owners is if you're grandfathering them into a new nation-state and offering amnesty under threat of death for their participation.
I get the anecdotal impression that bad deeds in politics mostly serve as confirmation for those who already don't like the politician and are largely ignored or excused by those who do like him/her.
> you think people are going to pay mortgages they are massively underwater on?

Yes?

Why wouldn't you?

It seems pretty short-sighted to just put your arms in the air, give up, get foreclosed on, lose your home, and have your credit be absolutely wrecked for the next 7 years.

Just keep making your payments and ride it out. The market will eventually recover.

I think the only reason to give up is if you fell for the scam that is an adjustable-rate mortgage and your payments are skyrocketing and you can't afford it anymore.
Notes on Creation of Tux the Penguin (1997)
I’ve defaulted on two mortgages in a recourse state, one primary residence, one investment property. Neither was pursued. While extreme, you can always move to Texas or Florida; they have incredibly strong creditor protections making you mostly judgement proof. Depends on your threat model, exposure, and risk tolerance.

You are on HN, managed by Y Combinator, a startup incubator. If that's your reference, you will have a biased view since building companies and "going pro" is literally the reason why this community exists.

Not only that but programming is a highly marketable skill, it is relatively easy to turn that hobby into a well paid job so of course people will discuss that.
Always thought this was predatory. California does it right in being a no recourse state. CA mortgages cost the same as elsewhere.
FizzBuzz is a very small roadblock - a couple of minutes. If you have your choice of language, it'll probably take less time than thinking of a creative answer to a form question like "what do you find interesting about our company?".

Perhaps the form should say "do not spend more than 5 minutes on this question", so that people who get stuck don't end waste a long time. It's really just a captcha to filter out people who can't program at all and also don't know to Google for an answer to paste in.
I think you are right. Many also got their first experience with Java in school or at their first job. Languages like Java/C# can seem intimidating at first.
It only takes you by surprise once in your life, after that you just run the water away from you for a second while the warm water comes in. Since we have handheld shower heads (another thing I can't believe the US lacks), it's no problem at all.

There was a java implementation of a JVM, jikes rvm.

I haven't looked at it for ages and looking at Wikipedia it seems dead, so curious if there is any newer attempts....
> The full dataset isn’t available, but since we have the number of students in each ACT / GPA bin above, we can create a “pseudo” dataset, with just a small loss of precision.

Big oof. This is an example of terminal data science poisoning. The data in the paper already proved the point of the article! Using it to create some chart gore where you reproduce the same plot in uncanny valley levels of resolution doesn't add to the argument. This is using very sophisticated techniques to achieve what you could by simply blurring an image of the first chart.
Fascinating.

Checking out the company who makes these, https://www.aerominetechnologies.com, I see they position it for larger buildings, including multi-family residential, but not large single-family homes, but I feel motivated to see whether this might be a good solution for my case instead of installing solar.
Your refusal to take responsibility for your part in that 1.4 GPA also tracks, heh...
The driver was chosen because there was an existing, easy-to-follow PoC exploit for the vulnerability, though. There are bound to be other drivers that are vulnerable and the VBA would change only where the vulnerability in the driver differed. Being able to do this from a document file is still plenty concerning.
Do the Beta Taurids hold more Tunguska-scale impactors?
I've only gone to school in Europe (Norway, specifically) - so I'm not sure how one can game their GPA. I'd say that a solid 80% of my degree was graded/scored on written or oral exam. Rest were home exams, or a mix of both - with 10% being the Masters thesis alone.

But then again, we don't have any standardized tests here. Not for college admission, or afterwards. The grades you get, are what you have - and everything is judged by those grades.
I've half looked into external insulation. I don't think the roof overhang is enough though. So I'm not sure it's worth it as the roof would need sorting too.

Ultimately my direct debit for gas electricity is only £10pm at the mo after the govt bung so my house is about as good as I'm going to get it anyway.
The article missed an opportunity to describe how spectacularly can things break when the 32-bit time_t overflows in Y2038.

If you still have such a machine (preferably without any valuable data), try setting the date right before the overflow with this command

date -s @$[2**31 - 10]

and see if you can recover the system without reboot.

I have seen different daemons stopped responding and just consuming CPU, NTP clients flooding public servers, and other interesting things. I suspect many of these systems will still be running in Y2038 and that day the Internet might break.
Which means more supply flowing into the hands of institutional investors.
Yes thanks!
You will reduce finding the 5th root of a number to a 4 function arithmetic? This should be a nice trick. Are you suggesting people do a bottom up search from 0? Or some other mind blowing mathematical property of exponents and logarithms that the top minds in the field have somehow not realized?
No why thank you for being so considerate, genuine, and detailed in your responses through-out this thread (:

Benjamin Libet found that actions we believe to be volitional, intentional acts arise in the brain 500ms prior to the sensation of "deciding" to do them.

Because what Apple is doing doesn't only affect Apple users. As said, phones aren't just phones.
If you include the large homeless population in the denominator I’m sure this is true, but I doubt it’s representative. Controlling for square footage doesn’t fix the problem either. Maybe add in parking costs and the never ending car window glass replacements and you get close. It is a great city if you need cheap and easy access to fentanyl, but so is Portland, and at a fraction of the price.
Thanks for the link, although I believe we're now in a place where "relative impressiveness" is all-but-meaningless. These are all impressive stories, and trying to figure out which one is more impressive is a little like sitting in a barbershop trying to figure out who is the greatest boxer that ever lived.

My contribution to impressive feats of survival bailing out of an airplane is this story of a WWII ball turret gunner who survived a fall from his bomber without a parachute:

https://www.thevintagenews.com/2016/03/04/during-ww2-an-amer...

I think there are other such WWII stories, I seem to recall someone who fell into an evergreen forest in winter and credited the snow-laden trees for his survival.
I was blessed with watching my father try to turn his photography hobby into a profession. It flopped. Turns out you make a living as a photographer by shooting basically the same wedding every weekend during the summer. Not by selling the photos that you actually enjoy taking.

He hasn’t taken a picture in nearly 20 years and IIRC finally sold his equipment around the start of the pandemic. The saga was hard to watch but at least I know with 100% certainty that my hobbies aren’t money makers and never will be.

Does “everything seems to need a financial reason to exist now?” - no, it was like that 20 years ago too. Unless “now” refers to this millennium.

My advice, CM30, is to get a little swagger in your step. Do your hobby, whatever it is, because you like it. And if you feel pressure from anyone to monetize it, cut that pressure out. Most likely, this just means unfollowing any “financial gurus” on social media or even cancelling your accounts all together. I actually like Instagram for hobby stuff but you’ve got to be judicious about how your train their algorithm.
Why successful fintech companies are leaving their BaaS providers
Well, unless your car burns out too, you'll have at least 12V to work with.
If that's true, why did the fed stop hiking rates in 2019?
>If you live in a city, and the machines disappear, or the economy collapses, you will starve to death, unless someone kills you first.

This is hyperbolic. Plenty of economies have collapsed without everyone starving to death or being murdered. Will it be pretty? No, but not as hopeless as you're making it out to be.
Always have an objective. To me if you don't have a reason to code you won't learn. Theory and exercises are ok but nothing beats getting something done.
> My grandmother never locked her door when she was at home

This whole 'golden age' of Sweden is just such a bunch of bs.

Take a look, for instance, at this article about a part of central Stockholm which is now extremely expensive real estate:

https://skarn.se/hans-marmbo/ (in Swedish)

I thoroughly recommend running the page through Google translate or DeepL for an insight into the reality of Stockholm just 50 years ago - it's a fascinating and horrific account of drug addicts and lowlifes brutally murdering each other in terrifying and depraved ways.

(DeepL translation:)
"Prostitutes, alcoholics and drug addicts moved in next door to students and underpaid casual workers. Pickpocketing, knife fights and burglaries became commonplace, and neighbourhoods once considered stately could now have been lifted from a Dickens novel. In the press, the area was called the swamp..."
And no more building because rates are high there so the next time rates go down there’s no supply…
Not sure how many other options the Fed has to keep inflation under control. They've basically forgone any efforts to keep unemployment low and switched entirely to controlling inflation. It is a critical moment for them—I don't think any amount of complaining from politicians is going to change that.
The majority of people in the US who bother to care about human rights abuses and exploitation of vulnerable populations are "progressives".
This reminds me a bit of the academic career path. I don't think it'd be terrible to spend 5-10 years at level 2, provided that you knew you would make level 3 (or at least had very good odds). I think the bigger problem is the uncertainty - not only are you pretty damn unlikely to make level 3, but also the selection process is kinda opaque and you don't really have a good grasp on your own specific odds. Obviously that situation is orders of magnitude worse in music, but it's why I left "professional" academia after PhD.
Same markets offer 5% or 0% down loans. Financing isn’t the problem it’s the monthly cost. Rent is cheaper than owning in Seattle, LA, and SF metro areas for a large portion of the housing stock.
Java often is as fast as cpp, sometimes faster.
JIT gives it a huge advantage and c2 is pretty much state of the art these days.
I think that's a strong reaction. Corporate damage control and prevention of profit loss will look pretty much the same whether they're covering something up or just correcting the record. If there's a threat to profits, an industry and corporation will usually attempt to prevent or attack it regardless of any connection to the truth.
They're talking about broadcasting/performing the hobby on social media, as many social media-native hobbyists do.
Kind of, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/101st_kilometre
You do need to qualify for a mortgage in the first place though
Even on the Internet it's not hard to find people doing hobbies for nothing. I might go to reddit to talk about comic books or some specialized forums to talk about gardening or even find (or run) a small website for an area of niche interest. Seems like OP also has a fairly narrow definition of "hobby".
To be fair, the earlier in the process you can disqualify a bad candidate, the less money and time you waste. It's generally positive to re-assess the pre-employment screening when it fails to do it's job.

That said, making the process worse for your good candidates is a horrible solution.
Yes but if you're waiting 20 seconds for the hot water everytime it makes it not worth it to switch the shower on and off.

Interest rates are effectively set by the federal reserve which is a non-partisan institution that doesn't answer to congress or the president, at least that's the idea.
I'd suggest integrating https://bellard.org/jslinux/ and running the VM in the browser if you can - then you can scale without running out of resources.
One thing about housing, is that if more people live in each unit, demand can go down quite a bit. This isn't happening during a 2 year bust, but if inflation becomes endemic, people may be forced to. Some unhappy couples may continue to live together, children don't leave their parents' homes, students that shared an apartment while studying continue to do so after they start working, etc. Also, more people who own houses may decide to rent out half.

The price at the margin will never exceed what the marginal buyer is able to pay, regardless of supply.

What you get in a case like thiswhere even parts of the middle class may be essentially homeless, is widespread social unrest. At that point, expect regulators and governments to take measures to make sure the supply of housing becomes big and cheap enough for at least the lower middle class to be able to afford a place to live (even if they have to rent). Unrest is more damaging to them than some unhappy homeowner lobbyists.

And by cutting the red tape, it's possible to make housing MUCH cheaper than it is today (at least per housing unit, if not by area).
If home values decline by 50%. So do property tax revenues. You’d have stated needing to layoff a large portion of their police and education staff.
