No, you are not buying houses for bitcoins. You are using bitcoins that are converted to the currency the house is quoted at and if the amount is greater than the contract price you get the house.

It is no different from saying "In some places I can buy houses with cocaine". Sure, if the buyer thinks they can immediately offload cocaine for cash, the buyer might take it. That does not mean that the house is sold for cocaine.

Sure, but 16-bit float is pretty primitive compression, as it does not exploit any redundancy in the input. zfp groups numbers together in chunks, which means that correlated numbers can be represented more precisely. Its algorithm is described here: https://zfp.readthedocs.io/en/release1.0.0/algorithm.html#lo...

I would like to see if the zfp can be applied to something like Stable Diffusion (or other ML models) and give better results than regular floats at the same size.

Sure but those stations generally don't have "nice folks" (hate using that term, given that I grew up in an area that would be avoided by these nice folks, but most on HN are generationally upper-middle class so) living near them. 16th and Mission is the exception because of the rapidly gentrified Valencia street, but Civic Center is very much not where upper-middle class folks live. The BART station nearest to me is clean and nice. Proximity to BART generally increases property values and rents.
No, I'm not thinking of J1772 chargers. I'm thinking of CCS chargers.

We're talking about two different things.

You are talking about the count of chargers. Tesla has a higher quantity of chargers, yes. However, their chargers are concentrated; a single charging location has 30+ chargers. This drives their high charger count numbers.

CCS chargers are more geographically widespread. There are more locations with CCS chargers than with Tesla chargers. There are fewer CCS plugs in total, but you're more likely to be close to one.

It's more useful to have one fast-charging location with 3 plugs every 50 miles, than to have 500 fast-chargers next to one another in a single location and then nothing in a 200-mile radius.

If you go to plugshare.com and zoom in to Oregon, you can toggle back and forth between Tesla and CCS. There are very visibly way more discrete places in Oregon that have a CCS charger.
>>This isn't true now and has never been true. Otherwise frontline workers would make a lot more and CEOs would make a lot less.

>Wages already have skewed dynamics based on a bunch of arbitrary reasons.

They are not really that arbitrary, pricing for wages are set largely by 3 factors

3. Amount of revenue a company can generate from a given role

Wage pricing is a balance of all 3 factors,

> I don't know where you live, but I have never lived any place (all in the USA) that doesn't tax land already.

The issue is that we tax the land and the buildings together. We should tax only the land. And we're often not taxing it enough.

> I for one enjoy having open spaces that are not developed

I enjoy those spaces too! You know what we have right now? SPRAWL. For miles in every direction. Pavement that gobbles up more and more greenfield spaces, for low-density, low-value uses. Outlying wilderness land is not very valuable, but land in urban centers is very valuable. Because we don't tax that land appropriately, we just encourage people to sprawl out further and further, and because we tax buildings, we discourage people from building densely. This leads to more land consumption and less of the open undeveloped space you like.

Those trees you love? They're being cut down to make way for parking lots and strip malls and self-storage units. Really wasteful uses of land. Denser building would make it so demand for housing, commerce, and amenities are fulfilled on a much smaller footprint.

If we taxed land appropriately, we would have way more undeveloped land, and more appropriate density in the city, and you wouldn't have to commute nearly as far to get to the wilderness.
Note the article's wording: "US natural gas futures plunged..." If the US can't export, there is increased domestic supply, causing the futures price to fall. If exports through the terminal resumed, US prices would rise since now global buyers are competing with domestic buyers, and prices between linked markets (e.g. US & EU) would equilibrate slightly. Also important to recognize that EU gas prices are much higher than US prices, so there is large demand for US->EU LNG shipments.

Sigh...

> Ten years in, I still don’t know how to make a statically linked executable with Haskell.

0) I hope you're targeting Linux

1) Install host (system) GHC

2) Build a new GHC by using the host GHC and Musl Libc, and depending on license restrictions choose either bignum-native or GNU GMP (flags of https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-bignum). This is needed because the compiler will later inject some portions of the GHC components into user applications to support their awesome runtime system.

3) Use the newly built custom GHC to compile your projects with GHC's `-static` flag (needed for pure haskell libs) AND `--ghc-options='-optl-static -optl-pthread'` (needed for non-haskell stuff).

4) Profit

Note that on certain platforms it's not possible (without much of a low-level trouble) to statically link their libc implementations to the user applications. Apple in particular does everything to discourage developers from pursuing this goal[1][2].

Ask HN: Should I learn more languages?
Hello!

I've programming in Python for the last 7 years, both professionally and for side projects. I would say that now my skills in Python are pretty good. However, Python is the only language that I know, and I'm wondering if this is this a problem and if it can damage my career.

Should I focus now on learning new languages instead of getting more proficient at Python?

Thank you very much for your help :)

Edit: I know also some SQL.
There's also postgres's which descends from spencer's (Tcl Advanced Regular Expressions) and supports backreferences but IME is very hard to catch into catastrophic backtracking.

Possibly because you need to use the feature to trigger the NFA mode and the baseline test case for catastrophic backtracking doesn't, it just assumes the engine will backtrack.

> The contradiction though is: how do we explain the apparent stability of large but mature codebases?

The problem with these sort of analyses, in my mind, is that they seem to neglect the iceberg of code you build on top of, which works perfectly fine and is virtually bug-free. For instance, imagine that I'm building a website. If size is a predictor of quality, then you'd expect me to add bugs as time goes on, and that's probably true. But my site is stacked on top of Chrome, an abstraction with hundreds (?) of millions of lines of code that virtually never give me an issue. This is stacked on top of the typescript compiler, the C++ compiler, the operating system, etc, and those all run in the millions (TS) to tens or hundreds of millions (OS) of lines of code! So while I don't doubt that codebases get buggier over time, this seems to neglect the fact that I use truly immense amounts of code every day that don't seem to run into an issue. Perhaps the bugs grow around the edges rather than in the center, or something like that?
It is an Apples to Oranges comparison.

But when was the last time a major public U.S. union went on strike? Whereas French railway workers do it all the time.

If you’re talking about power along a single axis that alone makes the French unions significantly more powerful.

Unions in Europe can and do go on strike.

There's even a German word, "Warnstreik," that refers to a short strike (as short as a few hours) carried out just to send a warning to company management that the union means business.

The unions in the transit sector are extremely active in Germany and France. As we speak, Paris is at standstill because of a massive transit strike.[0]

You surely know that it is very common to rethrow the original exception wrapped in languages with try-catch — it still saves you the time to write that (plus it is safe, no code, plus stacktrace). It is still strictly better than whatever go has.
>But when was the last time a major public U.S. union went on strike?

If unions get their way, why would they need to go on strike? The French go on strike because their unions don't always get their way.

> I’m “entitled” to my market worth.

Sure, but your employer will have the expectation that you will provide market value for that compensation that they provide you. If you are well paid and do underwhelming work compared to coworkers who are paid less but provide exceptional work, your leadership will take notice of that. They will and should expect more from you because your better lower paid coworkers are moving the value/$ bar expectations for you.

Literally the worst reputation you could have among your leadership is that of a “market worth” paid underperformer. Folks like that are the easy choice when the RIF conversations starts happening. When RIFs aren’t happening, folks like that are going to catch every shit job a manager can throw at them.
I would posit that if the city had a direct interest in the land value immediately surrounding the transit station -- as is the case in many successful Asian transit projects -- they would have a much stronger incentive to make that land value go up, by making it cleaner and safer and more well maintained.
I mean it's similar to rent going up.. you could afford it before you can't afford it now sorry
P.S. It is also called leverage because the same rule of proportionality applies: With a 10x physical lever, e.g. the lever is 10 cm on one side of the fulcrum and 100 cm on the other, moving one end of the lever by 1 cm will move the other end by 10 cm. With 10x financial leverage, e.g. you use $10 of equity (your own money) and $90 of debt (borrowed money) to invest $100 in assets, an extra +1% return on assets corresponds to an extra +10% return on equity.

Have to disagree here. "History mix" is a super common use case for me, as is a "clip slip" scenario - where I fumble and erase the future.

The technique as described works fine for this. I use it in the terminal all the time (an interface where state is saved on execution rather than keystroke). You go up through the history, copy the part of the command you need and head back to the present to use it.

I think it just comes down to the point at which state is modified. I wouldn't expect an implementation to modify state just by viewing the history, only by editing it. Suffice it to say your use case is fine.

Edit: tho, reading some of your other comments I agree that a better interface for this use case (e.g. a "revert to last meaningful edit" action) would be useful. Tho its slightly tangential to the discussion.
Vacation:

Depends where you are. I live in the UK which if I remember right has one of the stingiest holiday policies in europe. We have 28 days and our employer can also dictate when we take some of it e.g bank holidays and my last dev job it was mandatory to take a holiday day for Christmas Eve.

Paternity leave:

In the Uk we’re entitled to two weeks. Other countries have more.

Student Debt:

The average student loan debt in the UK is actually higher than the USA. The only difference is that ours is more of a graduate tax you start paying when you earn a certain amount rather than something you need to start paying off after six months regardless of income level. The amount of loan you can get is also limited to four years e.g if you drop out after two years of university you’re shit out of luck if you ever want to go back. Similar to the US, it is never wiped out even if you are made bankrupt. Unlike the US, there has never been any student loan forgiveness thus far in the UK. Link at the bottom if you’re interested.

Edit:
Student loans DO get forgiven, but only after 30 years. I forgot about this.

Health Care:

In the UK we do have universal health care yes. However there are currently close to 7 million people on various waitlists, vast swathes of the country cannot access a dentist, and waiting times at A & E are at record highs. Nurses are about to go on strike as they have had a pay cut of 8% over the last decade and the government is trying to fob them off with a pay rise of 5% despite inflation being in the double digits and rising. Many people are now turning to private health care as the NHS is on the verge of collapse. Mental health care is pretty much nonexistent: you can get six hours of CBT therapy and that’s it. Unless you have a serious mental breakdown you’re on your own. Want to try a drug that’s routinely prescribed in the US? Absolutely not a chance unless it’s on some official NHS list. Oh and I even had to explain what Heart Rate Variability was when I went to speak to my doctor the other day because he kept assuming I was talking about heart rate. The NHS is so behind the times it’s embarrassing. Links at the bottom.

As a 31 year old with no children and who has had the good fortune to never have had a serious illness but who has been trapped working on the minimum wage and taught himself how to code to escape, who built a feature that added hundreds of thousands if not millions of pounds to a billion dollar company only to get offered a 30k salary in return, who is still living with a parent because I still can’t afford to buy (although now close) yes despite the problems in your country, I would swap it all to go live in America if I had the opportunity.
