I haven't used PHP in a lot of years. I just took over a team that uses it so I thought, "let's play with it a bit". After looking at Symfony (and not hating it) I thought, "this looks so much like Java+Perl (with some C++ thrown in) why not just write Java/Kotlin SpringBoot at this point??"
Yes. "Jailbreak."

Where do you work? For the two companies I've worked at during this period I would not use the term "levity".
Sounds like a conspiracy theory on your end
Except that the regulation doesn't do any such thing (the USB-C mandate will expire automatically after a few years) and the innovation angle is just bloviating from people who haven't read the regulation and need a desperate need to defend their rich mega corporation.
Glad to see Apple finally clarify what's been an open secret in the industry. Unlike on Windows or Linux, the only way to be fully patched on Apple is to always update to the latest release the day it comes out.
> am using M2 money supply

It makes no sense to use a November 2020 rate of change in M2 to adjust a Q3 2022 real GDP estimate. GDP is a production metric. An output of the real economy. M2 is a monetary metric. An input into the financial system. To the degree their relationship has meaning, it’s as a rough measure of financialisation [1].

You have different markets essentially - there is a market for delivery, and a futures market.

The market for delivery briefly went price negative. This is dominated by what is in the pipeline right now and what volume of gas is being pulled from the pipeline right now.

The futures market is still positive. This market is served by LNG and gas that is still in the ground. The price here is dominated by risks.

The above model is oversimplified and wrong. If you want to know how things work, it may take some dedicated study beyond internet comments.

Two blog posts from January last year? Slow down there Palantir, you're making the rest of us look bad.
The second factor is being "good enough". Not many people will move DE if they are 5, 10, even 25% better. The complaints are also mostly from power users

These are really good information for shell script. I feel that not enough emphasis have been put on shell script development in general. Shell script is the glue language for lots of things.

That is what I was referring to. Building a fusor is not a demonstration of genius so much as it is a demonstration of resources. You need thousands of dollars in parts (at least as his was built) and a significant degree of knowledge about safely managing radioactivity and handling electrical components carrying lethal levels of voltage.

None of this is obtained from genius, but from a father who's experienced in such and most likely an engineer. And I think this is why these sort of tales never have the implied follow through. The unstated implication is '12 year old builds nuclear reactor in toy room' is 'imagine what he'll be doing in 5 years!' And, the answer? Shit posting on Twitter, getting political, and trying to make a AR/VR startup.

Not exactly the Atlas upon which the world can comfortably thrust all of their hopes and expectations upon. And nobody is. Ramanujan [1] was a once in a millennia level of genuine abnormal genius, and he dedicated his entire life to a single pursuit.

IMO, there’s too many people making this bet for it to actually manifest. Not sure exactly how it’ll happen, but I can’t help but think banks are eyeballing those war chests people have saved up for crash. They’d much rather those as rent payments than interest payments.

Whether he believes it or not doesn't mean jack. You are still out several thousand dollars for something that doesn't work.

I bet Liz Holmes really truly thought Theranos products were going to work too.
Supposedly the car market is about to crash as well. There was supposedly 2008 like shenanigans in the auto lending segment and the crows are coming home to root.

Speculation is that people were buying cars they couldn't afford using the stimulus checks as the downpayment and then immediately asking for a halt on payments due to COVID. With both factors no longer in play people can't afford their cars and are defaulting. This should cause a massive wave of repos and a flood in the used car market.

That said, the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Car lot managers will be in denial for some time before they actually lower prices to where they should be.

I suspect there is some chunk of the economic doomsaying that is literally political propaganda. A recession is bad for the party in power and a lot of the economic catastrophe drumbeat started around the time early polls opened up.
These features would all help with putting money directly in their pocket. I imagine they would be prioritized.
The boPET layer in question is thin enough that it will have to yellow enormously before that becomes a problem. On the other hand, metal foils, other than gold and some of the platinum group, are not that good at resisting chemical weathering in the air, especially when water and sulfur are present. So it wouldn't be surprising if, in the rain, boPET-covered aluminum remained a usable mirror without repolishing for longer than unprotected aluminum. Also, replacing aluminized boPET might be both easier and cheaper than repolishing solid aluminum; the amount of aluminum required per square meter is about two orders of magnitude smaller than with aluminum foil. This holds a fortiori for silver.

To correct an earlier poster, tin is not aluminum. Although tin was responsible for the high reflectivity and corrosion resistance of Newton's mirrors, aluminum is far superior on both counts.

Gold has higher reflectivity than aluminum in the infrared but lower in the blue. Because so much sunlight is NIR and so little is blue, this turns out to be an improvement for preventing things in LEO from heating up, which is why astronaut helmets use gold rather than aluminum or silver. I don't know offhand if the same is true of the solar spectrum at the bottom of Earth's atmosphere.
I’d start with terraform against a cloud of your choice.

Personally I’ve been using oracle as a test bed for that given their generous free tier but for production I’d probably use GCP
> Look for Levi's with 100% cotton (well really like 60/40 cotton/hemp), or 99% cotton. These last far longer.

This. I get only the natural, non-stretch fabrics (Leviticus 19:19, FTW!) and mine typically last up to a decade or more with decent care (turning them inside out before washing, washing only when visibly soiled, etc.).

Now granted, this is also a problem now that I’m losing weight, as they’re too loose to use without a strong belt, but too good of a condition to justify replacing.
Thanks for the info. Doing brick and mortar sales attribution is a whole different ball-game.

Frankly the number of dots that have to be connected between different systems in order to make that stuff work is too difficult for me to trust the data. If I'm going to trust a black box, I'm not going to trust programmatic exchanges and attribution vendors. I'm going to trust platforms that have vertical integration at as many stages as possible.

So, Google basically.

Why Are Climate Activists Throwing Food at Million-Dollar Paintings?
A goal we can actually achieve results in the collapse of civilization. But that doesn't sell well. Not many want to take that for granted.

Any better consequence than that requires very significant changes from BAU and so lots of short term pain. Especially for the wealthy. And so we're back to impossible.

I ended up switching to Qobuz for this exact reason. I have nothing against podcasts, but what I wanted from Spotify was a great music app, and it's clear that that's no longer what they want to be.

(I also suspect that podcasts and audiobooks are more lucrative for Spotify than music is, since long-form content likely has a lower royalties/minute rate than music does)
> My basic thesis is that Shell as a programming language---with it's dynamic scope, focus on line-oriented text, and pipelines---is simply a different programming paradigm than languages like Perl, Python, whatever.

This argument is essentially the same as "dynamic typing is just a different programming paradigm than static typing, and not intrinsically better or worse" - but to an even greater extent, because bash isn't really typed at all.

To those who think that static (and optional/gradual) typing brings strong benefits with little downsides over dynamic typing and becomes increasingly important as the size of a program increases, bash is simply unacceptable for any non-trivial program.

Other people (like yourself) that think that static typing isn't that important and "it's just a matter of preference" will be fine with an untyped language like bash.

Unfortunately, it's really hard to find concrete, clear evidence that one typing paradigm is better than the other, so we can't really make a good argument for one or the other using science.

However, I can say that you're conflating different traits of shell languages here. You say "dynamic scope, focus on line-oriented text, and pipelines" - but each of those are very different, and you're missing the most contested one (typing). Shell's untypedness is probably the biggest complaint about it, and the line-oriented text paradigm is really contentious, but most people don't care very much about the scoping, and lots of people like the pipelines feature.

A shell language that was statically-typed, with clear scoping rules, non-cryptic syntax, structured data, and pipelines would likely be popular and relatively non-controversial.
Feels like I'm in a Civilisation game nightmare.

The best outcome is probably just nominal value stays relatively steady while real value declines after factoring in inflation.

Spot prices can be very volatile and easily drop below zero. If your stores are full and you have nowhere to put gas that might be building up inside an incoming pipeline, you'll be happy to give it away for free. But once it gets cold and people start using more gas, you might pay those $2B for the gas in the tankers off your coast to satisfy increased demand.

I was the founder of a school training software engineers, we had an infrastructure track that got a lot of our students to land SRE positions. When asking employers for feedback about our grads, one feedback kept coming: they lack experience when it comes to troubleshooting.

So I went on a quest to simulate that infra debugging while in an academic context.

I came up with the idea of giving students broken servers. I used Docker container and would setup a simple workload and mess it up with classic issues.

Needless to say students generally did not like it :) debugging isn’t fun. But it did help a lot.
Oracle.

The fact that it is associated with one of the most scummy companies in the planet doesn't do the language any favours.

A second data point is: other languages improved enough, Java is just another one among many. There's nothing unique about it.

> This exchange positions SourceHut as "Github, but without gamification elements"

No, it doesn't, and it's dishonest to try to make that move—just as it is dishonest to manufacture quotes (that are, in this case, designed to provide the opportunity for that attempt).

"Github but just without the gamification elements" does not appear anywhere outside of your own comments and is, in fact, much stronger than what was claimed in the original comment you responded to; the person to whom you responded and to whom you were being needlessly confrontational pointed to SourceHut as an option for people who dislike gamification and are looking for a provider that is just "a place to host and build code". There was no claim about the suitability of SourceHut for anyone who doesn't meet that description, let alone anyone who requires/seeks/prefers(/whatever) "Github, but without gamification elements".

Please stop manufacturing quotes, and please stop defending their use by pleading that "[t]he quotation paraphrases". That word sequence alone is a dense contradiction. Making up false quotes is especially troublesome when they are freely mixed into discussions where a person has otherwise already previously made use of genuine quotes (such as the way you did when quoting the creator's remarks that "SourceHut is not GitHub/GitLab/Gitea[...]"). To do so is pernicious, and the entire practice is against HN's rules.

I am an American and not knowledgeable about how energy pricing works, so I am curious, how do we square this with the rates that Europeans have been paying for energy and natural gas lately? Are utilities making off like bandits? Or were they running very low over the last few months and suddenly got a huge influx?
I think I feel similarly, to be honest. While I don't think I'd be less likely to buy something I wanted if an in-app purchase wasn't available, I've always been thankful when I realized I bought something or set up a subscription via Apple because I feel their incentive isn't to make managing that purchase difficult, so their UX for control over subscriptions has been great.

Though, at face value, I do see the argument for giving folks the option to make the purchase how they want, which may mean doing it in the app but not using Apple's APIs. I dunno, I don't have strong feelings about any of this, so it always surprises me when companies try to make such a big deal of it. Sure, it affects their bottom line, but let's not pretend like I should care about that.

> I will admit the lightning connector is superior in durability, inspectability, and safety than USB type C in virtually every way

Any links to back that claim?
I think this meme started due to Nintendo (very inadvisedly) adopting a non-standard USB-C implementation for the Switch. It wouldn't have been nearly as bad if they'd used a proprietary connector on top of their modified implementation, but they left the connector unchanged and simply added a "use only official Nintendo chargers" warning which of course no one was going to follow.

This did then, in fact, predictably lead to people frying their Switches, and has only further muddied the waters around the standard (which, to be sure, if you're using chargers and cables from at least minimally reputable manufacturers, will never fry a device under normal circumstances).

We can't argue this both ways. You can't argue that business leaders are acting as if the fed will pivot away from the current course when the parent is pointing out that they are all tightening in preparation for more to come.
Yeah, well I don't see a country that's thriving, except in terms of wealth (for some). I see a country lurching towards another Civil War.

Anyway, my point was that I don't think these rights exist, and that framing things in terms of rights is arse-over-tit. I'm not interested in arguing whether the US chose the right set of rights; I'm saying I have no idea what a "right" is, other than a privilege granted by law.

Been using Lightning models since the iPhone 6 generation and haven't seen this behavior even once. The worst I've seen was a couple of times where the phone's port got pocket lint stuck in it, making it harder to plug in cables which was fixed easily enough with some careful teasing with a SIM ejector tool.

I don't have anything against USB-C but its "click" factor varies a lot between cable/port manufacturers due to much wider tolerances/variances in manufacturing.
