For what it's worth we have the same problem in France where everything is managed by the government.

I don't have an answer but in your case I'm not sure more government is the right thing to do.
there is some truth in that rant. The inflation, btw, can be imoorted via currency exchange.

For example, anything for which you pay in dollars (a strong dollar now) is more expensive. If you add the exchange rate to the fact of the inflation itself you end up paying the sum of both differences.

The strong dollar is also the reason why EU has no choice but to follow the interest rate escalation from dollars: if they do not do it, people run away to buy follars because the euro suffers depreciation.

Complex topic, with more ramifications than it looks at first.
> aimed to be learnable by mid level engineers. There's a lot of boilerplate and ceremony to do even basic things and a type system that takes time to learn while not providing much benefit.

All of this is also true about Go, but it's on the high tide on the hype cycle.
Daniel Stenberg, curl's lead developer, made a good tutorial video[1] on curl, focusing on advanced use of its HTTP options.

Here are some org-format notes I took on curl, mostly from the contents of that video: [2]

It can still be rootless by using systemd —-user which allows non privileged users to create units and such.
Number of possible candidates is also quite a nice factor. Even though you might benefit from more special languages and better devs because people learning haskell are most of the times better devs than most java devs due to their drive and passion.
I’m an idiot! Thanks for the correction
Then quit when you're not on duty. Not when you're on duty and the situation is perilous. The first is eminently reasonable, but the second is tantamount to murder.
Everytime tether goes 0.99c these wishful thinking threads appear. No thread is created when the value is 1.01. Perhaps those fluctuations are the norm price on exchanges?

I’m not defending tether (I’m going to be downvoted to oblivion anyway because these types of threads are based on spite rather than logic) but it always have the “raises fist this time I got you spider man” vibe.
And that thinking is exploited by the sociopaths who don't give a flying fuck who is suffering and dying because they insist on extracting a profit from every facet of society.

I'm kind of sick of looking at problems like this and having people like you saying that the only solution is to continue to let sociopaths ruin everything for the rest of us.
Ugh. The "OS Recent Files Integration" blew up my dock icon so now instead just showing open windows, it's filled with random files I happened to touch. How is this useful? I'll edit 20 files in a sitting regularly. Also, it made looking at open app windows a complete mess - giant icons of text files, and the minimized window I'm looking for just sorta shoved into a corner... Useless.

So I turned it off in the settings, cleared the recent files in the menu, but now there's a bunch of files just sorta stuck in the OS recents... Anyone know how to manually clear recent files from an app in macOS?
crypto, stocks, derivatives - greed is the major propeller of all of them
There you go. That's exactly the position they are in: if you want to play with mastodon.social's toys, mastodon.social gets to set the rules. If you want to play with the toys that they have given away, over by yourself, you get to do that.

We are currently in the in-between phase where a swarm of kids have shown up to play with the neat toys, are ignoring the rules, and are about to be kicked out to go play with their own toys, unless they can learn the rules.
Because startups are negotiating with employees for sub-standard pay, usually.

So you need to do things to convince the hotshots to come work for you, and Java is boring corporate coding, it's not the latest hotshit like Rust is.

And conversely, they're also negotiating with VCs for funding, and customers. Being able to describe the hotshot language helps differentiate as to why "this startup will make it work".
I was wrong so... nothing!
On the flip side to what you’re saying, Java can do absolutely all the things you’ve listed and unifying around one language is far more beneficial to productivity than e.g. the small speed benefit you’ll get from using Rust. It and Elixir are fascinating but I think the list of startups that would benefit from adopting either are very, very small.

That said I think “why Java over JS” is the core question you’ve raised. I know everyone hates it but JS has mindshare, available potential employees and can do more or less anything you need it to (including run in the browser, which is a unique benefit). If you use TypeScript you can get a pretty sane, workable Node codebase that’ll work for most startups.
Your $300k is extremely rare.
I (believe) what I said if there's downward pressure on the currency, therefore to maintain the peg they have to buy it (and in a sense destroy it). not that destroying it leads to downward pressure, but that we should see a reduction in market cap. I'm wondering if we can see this fluctuation in market cap.
No one is forcing anyone to use one basket.
The numbers are a lie, or at the very least, vastly understate the impact. For example, if I used to buy grass-fed beef, but am now buying the grade D crap because prices are so high, that doesn't get captured in the inflation numbers. And there are a whole host of things like that; you'll notice many hotels have scaled back on cleaning frequency but the price of a room hasn't gone done, so you're paying the same for less. Again, that's not reflected in the inflation number.
I think it's an obtainable status symbol. They may never have a fancy car or a nice house or even a top of the line TV, but they can have a nice phone, and for some people I'm sure that's important to have SOMETHING to have status about. It's also the primary form of entertainment and socializing for some people so I can understand wanting to have a nice screen.
One of the main places nurses tend to go to leave the fray is the medical billing / "insurance" industry. Who else has extensive experience with ICD billing codes? So not only does the financial cancer strangle the people supplying actual healthcare, it shrinks the supply of them as well.
That's why the BLS provides data for broken-down categories that make up the overall CPI calculation. Groceries saw a 12.4% increase in prices from a year ago, with dairy products at 15.5%. Restaurant food is up 8.6% for the year. And since you don't provide a reference point for when your anecdotal price data was taken, there's no way to say if it's in line with the official CPI data.

If you follow the official data 3 years back to pre-COVID/loose(r) fiscal policy in October 2019, then restaurant food prices are up 18.8% according to BLS, which is right in line with the Dollar Menu datapoint you provided.
If that happens, the price of tether collapses, and bitfinex will crash along with it I think.
Incidentally, from my experience helping to manage a fire department payroll and being the son of a nurse, firefighters and nurses are paid about the same for a given area.

Ask HN: How wise would it be to demo VR to an 8 year old?
My son is 8 years old and obsessed with the concept of virtual reality even though he has never experienced it. He is a huge gamer, has developed many fairly complex games in Scratch and built impressive structures in Minecraft. He knows I have a quest 2 and a day doesn't pass that he doesn't beg me to allow him just a few minutes to experience it. And of course I would love to.

However most organizations recommend not allowing children under 12 access to VR and I generally agree with this. Its getting harder to say no though as he has a few friends that are allowed access to their parents VR headsets, albeit for very limited periods.

I'm wondering what the wise course of action would be and if there are any risks for an 8 year old to play VR once off for 30 mins. I'm hoping this would satisfy his curiosity to the point that he can go back to enjoying his non-VR games until he is 12+ and mitigates the risk of him with becoming totally obsessed with the concept and doing it without supervision behind my back at his friends houses.

Is anyone else in a similar position? What have you done?
I know far too many people working in FAANG to know that what you say isn't true. And double the salary means nothing when you're living in an area who's real estate is 4x more expensive than where you are currently. As far as working with competent colleagues - I have a secret for you: they're not all working at FAANG companies nor do they desire to.
> mortgage/rent payment

These are not the same at all.

> 25% should be the goal

I think 70% should be the goal - why? Because I pulled it out of my ass. Do you have a sound financial explanation for this benchmark, because it sounds like arbitrary dick sizing.

60% of income on a mortgage in a relatively stable area without insane property taxes is likely a very prudent allocation of income, since you both have a good investment and a place to live. Spending 60% or even more of income on a mortgage may well be better than 25% on rent.

Another thing, 25% of income is very different at $30k then it is at $300k. This is something the budding personal finance advisor should understand.

> then you need roommates

Is that what you’re going to tell people in their 30s with kids?
> often higher, pay deals for staff

Nope. See the OP.
Another hospital, or to scab nurses the administration has to scramble to call in. But to walk out without notice in the middle of a crisis because you want a stack of dead bodies to blame on your boss is basically murder.
If a startup avoids Java, it’s because the first few coders don’t use Java. That’s it.

I’ve seen startups use almost every language under the sun, including the boring ones like Java, C, and PHP.
‘Young, male and aimless’: Why are men in India delaying marriage?
Also depends on the geographic region. Soft beverages for example in some places haven’t changed much but out here on the west coast have done from 4 for 10 dollars on sale to 3 for 15 for 12 packs.
All good advice.

If the OP owns a Pixel, and he is compiling LineageOS (or AOSP), a first target to consider is - an emulator (AVD). Emulators are easy to create on the fly, you don't have to worry about what its particular quirks are, or if it uses an A/B partitioned system for OTA, or worry about accidentally bricking it. And if you have emulator A but accidentally compiled for emulator B, you can just create emulator B.

These are the devices LineageOS supports - https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices . You may note that some of these devices are older, and probably not in sale in local stores. So make a note of which phones on this list you can go to a local store and buy today. Last year, I looked around for cheaper Motorola phones, but they were the previous year's model and harder to find at a local store, so I got a Motorola Edge 5G and successfully compiled LineageOS and sideloaded it. You can get the devices however you want, but check this list for what is supported by LineageOS, then check how easy they are to get (as I said, some of these devices are years old and are harder to find).
I wonder will they have a party when they hit 250?

I would add birth circumstances to your pile, somehow.

For decades I spent wisely and executed on a plan while donating 10%+ of my gross to the megachurch into which I was born. Everybody in the church, including my parents, said it was an investment.

Spoiler: It was not

I still wonder how this could have been effectively communicated to me at an earlier age...the church teachings I received were designed to inoculate against outside opinions. When I joined the ranks of leadership myself, I also taught others to pay "God" before paying themselves.

By the time I stopped paying, I could have used my own donated funds to retire twice over.
> It's not just expensive solar panels. It's the charge controller, it's the battery bms, its all these things you need to upgrade. These aren't trivial upgrades. The cost to integrate into a controller system like a tesla would double or triple the cost. solid state AC controllers are really expensive to beginwith. So in order to integrate solar into a tesla with their high power. It doesnt make sense.

Complete nonsense. If you're only getting 1-2kW peak then an MPPT and grid inverter is about $300. If you already had 95% of it, then integrating the MPPT with the rest would be $50 tops. You could make a ghetto version of this at early-adopter retail prices with 800W of Sunpower 2mm thick flexible panels, some silicone adhesive, a 500Wh battery as a buffer, a full sine wave inverter with a timer/voltage control plugged into your normal 240V charger and a standard low power MPPT. It would cost about $3-4k and half of the added cost would be from the redundant step-up step-down of voltage and needing a buffer to satisfy the charger. You'd have to run your charger cable from the inside and you'd lose more power from reduced aero from the junction boxes than you gained if you went on the highway (unless you were willing to cut into the roof to put them under), but it's enough to prove your cost argument is wrong.

The cells would be $500 max at volume. Integrating them to the body would be the only expensive part.

It's not really viable for something as wastefully big and powerful as a tesla, but for an econobox you could add 10-20km/day fairly easily. Once perovskites are a thing the cell integration costs go down too.

The argument was true when monocrystalline panels were expensive, fragile and exotic. Now they're not. The main reason not to do it is people would bitch about appearance, then get weird expectations and it would be bad PR. This isn't worth charging a big luxury car ~one fewer times a month.

But mostly-not having to charge a city runabout that does <20km/day is a pretty compelling argument. People that buy econoboxes have much less fragile egos so won't clutch pearls about being able to see a functional element as much, and are more likely to lack the ability to plug their car in at home so not having to go find a charger every week is a more compelling feature. I'm not sure if the Sion hits this demographic as it's quite big and heavy and may be trying to do too many things. I expect the aptera to fill this niche quite well if it doesn't get legislated out of existence.
While there are lots of new biotech tools, most of the illnesses left to treat are caused by aging, when the human system falls apart from the interaction of old parts, therefore super hard to treat.

At this point I gave up waiting for a medical solution for my chronic illness, and have a better hope that I can live 15-20 years with it and rejuvenate my body after that time period.
You can read in the conversation that Google was not able to reproduce it the first time the bug was submitted:

> The same issue was submitted to our program earlier this year, but we were not able to reproduce the vulnerability. When you submitted your report, we were able to identify and reproduce the issue and began developing a fix.

I wonder if it really was the same bug or what they did wrong to reproduce it. Or maybe they just made some mistake in reproducing it.
People love bikeshedding.

Git is also somewhat symbolic: you're a "real" programmer if you use it and not if you don't. I guess an advanced use of git makes you "realer". I think there's an element of "tidiness" to it as well.

It's definitely cultural more than technical. More tabs vs spaces rather than static vs. dynamic typing.
I would like to do better financially, but don't care for budgets. Often, I find that I'm unable to make a purchase, due to those pesky buggers.

For example, I'm about to take a trip to Europe, which would never have been possible if I had "budgeted".
As your products and services are targeted towards bigger clients, do you have any advice for smaller companies on who to talk to regarding pricing?
I am actually embarrassed by the amount I spent on coffee before getting a machine. At $5aud a coffee, 3 per day, $15 a day, 233 work days in a year, $3,495 per year for 10 years, $34,950AUD. My esspresso machine cost me $500AUD and a bag of beans that does 60-70+ coffees costs me $15. Idiot!
Because it’s not “cool” anymore and it was left to languish for many years? In addition, many, and better, languages have come out since it was cool. The de facto replacement for Java is Kotlin, or at least it was until Oracle started caring about it again.
Yeah milk is a horrible product to base inflation on as the market is not a free marker due to Federal marketing orders. I believe its called the Eau Claire rule as Eau Claire was once the center of the dairy industry.

Take it to the extreme: if you were enslaved, forced to care for critically ill people, would you be acting wrongly to run away if you could? I don't think so. The difference is a matter of degree, not of kind.

More practically, not every nurse's threshold is in the same place; each nurse decides they've had enough at a different point. It's not as though — barring coordinated effort — every nurse is going to quit the same day. The problem will manifest itself as declining staffing, not a sudden depopulation of the hospital, and it will not go unaddressed.
For those wondering, the definition of HPTS:
“High Performance Transactions System (HPTS) is a invitational conference held once every two years at the Asilomar Conference Center near Monterey California”
The usual stuff - gold, silver, real estate.
And to add to your explanation, because inflation jumped so quickly and then slowed we'll eventually hit a YoY number that plummets. If milk is $4/gallon today and still $4/gallon 12 mos. from now, that's 0% YoY inflation.

This will inevitably lead to people saying the numbers are fake because milk used to be $2/gallon.
IMO, the biggest reason is how broken the Java ecosystem is. Java-the-language is mostly okay, Java-the-toolchain (JVM) is pretty great, but Maven/Gradle/etc. are awful.

Java is one of the few ecosystems that provides a software distribution ecosystem that doesn't allow distribution of sources alongside binaries. Additionally, it is a lot more common for Java dependencies to be a game of Jenga. Take for example, Gradle. Gradle literally cannot be built from source[1] because it relies on a binary cache of dependencies held by Gradle to build Gradle. There are many other examples of this. As a consequence, the Java ecosystem has become a security and maintenance nightmare that other ecosystems simply aren't.

As bad as Nodejs is, it doesn't do this. As difficult as .NET has been, the dependency hygiene is better there. As annoying as Go and Rust are, they provide better guarantees in their ecosystems than Java does. While Python and Ruby are "slower" than Java, they both make it up in developer productivity and transparent, well-reasoned tooling compared to Java.

Im a strong critic of US policy, but this kind of hyperbole is noise that hinders actual discussion.

In the US there is free press, which is why everyone knows and speaks freely about these things. When Bush 2 was pushing his administration's lies about WMDs, a large chunk of the population saw through the deception immediately, and another large chunk also saw through the deception but decided to go to war anyway. We still have the ability to think about our own history in ways that would be inconceivable in many places. That ability is maintained by individuals exercising their rights.

There is objectively no comparison between the state of things in the US and say Russia. These are not two different cases of the same model or two sides of the same coin, they are utterly different models and practices of governance. The US is also so culturally focused on rights and freedom that people don't understand the first amendment only protects citizens from action by the government, and people are able to hold onto this notion because of the extent to which they are generally left alone.
The big difference is that Copilot generates real, functioning code based off past implementations of real, functioning code. A no-code tool like Webflow is an entirely different product all together. The ML transformers powering Copilot are the secret sauce here, that technology just literally did not exist when Java and UML were all the rage.

I'd encourage anyone who hasn't tried it to give Copilot a try. There really has never been anything like it in my memory, and while I totally agree there have been dozens of efforts to allow non-technical people to generate code, I think Copilot may be on to something very special.
Inflation linked government bonds from developed countries and your local currency or USD/EUR denomination, depending on your country you may get some tax advantages if you buy local ones. But you should probably have done this long ago, now it may be a bit late.

Loose terms like "national security" are like good times that breed weak leaders. I think we must all agree that citizens have a right against persecution.

What track record does this government have that suggests they will do no wrong with their internet history logs?
Among many reasons I think one is that it has a poor amount of open libraries/frameworks when you stack it up against other languages. The culture is much more DIY so there isn't a lot to help you get started with a new application.

I've never been a Java dev, but as I understand the package manager story is/was really bad. I've always wondered if that's part of the reason why you see so few open source efforts compared to other languages.
