It’s funny, I have read a lot about various intrigues in the UK parliament and felt I understood them (I was talking w/ a political science prof the other day about Disraeli and the Corn laws) but everything invested read about the Australia affair has come across like one of those personal conflicts that you can’t make sense of because they a talking about it a mile a minute without filling in the context. Is there a good account of it that would make sense to an American?
There's too wide gap between OLAP and OLTP DBs, but definitely hybrids will appear. Vanilla pg is great but it's far away from analytical workloads. I use Vertica at work, it's a OLAP DB, but it handles hundreds of concurrent users in a light transactional workload without any issues (even though its locking isn't as granular as the one in postgresql). I would say that there's a spectrum between the two types of DBs and there's a market for all.

No I meant literal eyeballs, or put another way, the number of people looking at those pages.
No I agree, but if you hire Einstein for Physics lectures, but for whatever reason let him mop the floors, you still take into account his abilities.

Fellow floor moppers might say "Einstein mops slower and worse then me, I want more than his salary", but that would not attribute abilities and that it is not his first choice to mop floors, the company made that strange decision.
> sometimes seeing how successful people think, how they act, what they read, can help adjust your own mindset.

You cant get that from a book or an interview etc. "Successful people" are notorious at rewriting history to fit the path of luck, skill and chance that they navigated to get to where they are.

For every billionaire that showed their "Entrepreneurial flair" at a young age by running a lemonade stall on their front lawn there are 100,000 others who showed the exact same spirit that have net worths in the reigion of $0.

Consider what the Youtube algo considers the desperately overloaded words "destroy", "murder", or "fail" to mean. Those who didn't fall prey to the cat videos, grittily forming some sort of Resistance, would have an even chance of being ruthlessly hunted by Terminators, tastelessly pranked, or excoriated by talking-head rhetoric without being given a chance to get a word in edgewise.
Is there a dichotomy between 1 and 2? The tendency of assumptions in these regards is that someone willing to act contrary to the norm in one way is willing to also be so in other ways. Neither convicted shoplifters or convicted drug dealers will get hired for positions that require trust, even though only the shoplifter can be shown to be a thief.
On the contrary, consumption and energy use went up, not to mention waste. That video game needs 600-700 watts per client and most of it is created very inefficiently, using fossil fuels.

People still drive up and down too, and there are more people.

Certainly not in europe. I’ve never heard about German bakery. Italians on the other hand are as big masters of bread as French. Ever heard of Focaccia? Ciabatta? Pizza?!
I don't agree. Parliament, representing the votes of the people, should be Supreme. The constraints on monarchy or a non-political head of state should be absolutely clear. The so called "reserve powers" have no place in a nation with a written constitution.

Almost the single job is to call on someone to be Prime Minister and form a government that holds the confidence of the House of Representatives. Then swear in who that person advises you to as members of the Executive Council.

We recently had the ridiculous situation that the Prime Minister advised the Governor General to swear him in as a "secret" additional minister in a number of ministries. That is now the subject of a Parliamentary inquiry.

It's almost impossible to negotiate anything unless you have leverage, and leverage only exists when there is a decision-point: "I'll pick this other job unless.." or in the beginning "I won't join your company unless..."

Imagine a more extreme case where we reported inflation over the past 50 years each month. Every month we compute the price of the basket 50 years ago and the price of the basket today and compare. This number would go up when the most recent month had more price increases than the month 601 months ago. It would go down when the situation was reversed. It would be a number, but it would tell you very little useful information.

It is also the case that going extreme in the other direction is ridiculous. Imagine a daily inflation measure. Also nearly useless. "Oh, prices were flat today so everything is fine."

Published inflation numbers in media are usually used to make either the claim "everything is fucked, you should be mad about public policy" or "everything is fine, you should be happy about public policy." To me, this means that the reported should ideally be tied to some cadence that matches public policy. I'm not sure what that cadence is.

Too many variables in your question. However, I paid mine off about 7 years early. I am commenting anyway as a few posts lean towards not paying off early. I find it a great freedom knowing my work choices will not result in me losing my home. And yes, there is a 1000 other bad things that could happen. No mortgage is one thing for which I am grateful.
Gitea and Hugo come to immediate mind. I thought there was a game framework that used Go as well (which I can't find at the moment).

As a .NET guy, I've actually started looking for tools built in Go since I know they'll be easy to run across the platforms I use, without extra dependencies.

Yes, been there done that :). You can spawn a whole background thread running its own event loop, and post the async function
with run-coroutine_threadsafe, the wait on the returned concurrent.future.

But it feels wrong having to spawn a thread and event loop just for that.

You are wrong. Without existing deposits the bank has no money to loan out. They can write numbers on screens, but eventually the money they loaned out will be transferred and the bank that it was transferred to will ask for settlement.
Health spending accounts for nearly one-fifth of the U.S. economy [1]. Between 2000 to 2020 health expenditure tripled from 1.4 trillion to 4 trillion, at a 4.2% annual growth rate. This is projected to accelerate, grow at 5.3% and reach 6.8 trillion by 2030. [3]

Happening in other countries as well. Health spending set to outpace GDP growth to 2030 [2]

This shows up as economic growth (GDP), but really nothing has changed, does not require more emissions.

Sort of. BLS also publishes other numbers. Media outlets choose which one to report.

Consider how last month everybody was reporting Core-CPI because it was higher than overall CPI and therefore produced more urgent sounding headlines whereas earlier in the year when overall CPI was higher that was the reported number. Yes, headlines said "Core-CPI" last month but if you aren't careful you get a very incomplete picture of things.
At least in Germany the WeWork offices I saw were neither fun-filled nor exciting.

I had always imagined them to be similar to what I imagined the Google office to be like - lots of amenities, lots of space to goof around, lots of cool little and big things that are rarely found in offices.

Instead you get your plain old "overcrowded startup offices". Tiny desks, tiny rooms, average coffee, no real amenities. Some chic design elements here and there, but that's about it.

Nothing I'd pay 500 EUR / desk per month for.
That's so wrong.

Many industry chains that are the basis for renewable energy(which many countries will need to transition to), generating wind, hydro and solar power equipment are responsible for a good load of emissions, like the steel industry.

It is close to impossible to grow an emerging economy without producing more energy, as more of the population would want to drive cars, have lights, sanitation etc.

Because of that, as almost all the economist articles, this is mostly centered around developed economies and even those that are developed have a big deficit in energy generation.

And I'm giving the simplest example ever. Imagine if we get into consumer habits and spending...

The truth is that many countries need to grow and need to raise emissions before lowering them. Not every country is Germany with a big industry and influx of cash to support its environment plans.

The "third world" doesn't need to accept living in the wood and shitting in a bucket while americans live in a house of the size of a football field with AC on. If they have nothing to win by caring about emissions, they shouldn't. Raise emissions if you must, to grow. Rich countries that need to set the example, but most of them just don't.

Is STM32 still in shortage? I remember it being the largest blocker in one of my projects last year. Especially that high end H7 chip.

Oh and we runned a Tensorflow Lite image processing pipeline on that chip. It is probably a few times too powerful for fiddling pins and an IP stack.

"Supply and confidence" is an expression used to refer to the arrangement between the party of government and a weaker party, that refers to the fact the weaker party will vote with the government on budgets and confidence motions. It doesn't imply a coalition, and the weaker party can't expect ministerial posts.

A lot of articles pop onto the front page after just 5–7 votes. I think it has something to do with the upvoters not being correlated and the votes all coming quickly together.

But then it needs more votes in a short window to stay. If it doesn't get them, it drops off as quickly as it came.

So this seems to be HN working as usual.

Agreed. I see the other 'prime' labeled services as a negative value frankly, because I know that the entire intent is to make the process frustrating enough to upsell me to their amazon branded services which are universally inferior to the other options I would have picked in the absence of the 'free' 'prime' offering. I've finally converted enough of my online shopping to target and Walmart that this is the year I'm doing away with amazon prime for good.
Define "same job".

I'm on a team of six people, all classified as "senior engineers". None of us do the same job, even if we all work on the same stuff. Some deliver tons of new features and code. Others think and design, and come up with resilient, well-engineered things. Some are great with stakeholder relationships.

Unless I find out there's some huge disparity in pay (as in, everyone else out-earning me 2:1), I have absolutely no problem with some getting paid more, some less.

If I were to find out I'm getting paid the least, I would:

1. Start by asking for a raise to correct that.

2. If denied, inquire as to why my manager thinks I'm worth less.

3. If he makes a good point that I can agree with, I will focus on improving in that area and then discuss again in 6 months.

4. If I disagree and think they are under-valuing my skillset, I walk.

For context, I've done #3 at least 3 times, where I've asked a manager "what do I need to improve to warrant a pay raise or promotion?", and they give me an actual list of things to improve. Once I'm satisfied I've improved those areas, and have a few months of work history to prove it, they have absolutely no valid reason to deny me a pay rise, and I've received a pay rise 3/3 of those times. This obviously doesn't work if your manager is an asshole, or if there's suddenly a budget cut, etc - you need to evaluate the chances of that happening, and consider option #4.
Agreed. But but most founders can't deny the fact that the books did help to some extent.
I think zoos can be depressing because we like to imagine animals as experiencing life the same way we do, in which boredom becomes paralyzing after a couple hours.

Growing up on a hobby farm with chickens and horses, I never got the impression the animals were unhappy. I think if the option were given to most mammals, they'd choose life in captivity cage with fresh food every day and eventually a peaceful passing over a hungry life in the wild which eventually ends in becoming prey.
Probably a better way of looking at it is hard real time is hard, in several senses of the term. You don't really want any operations that have variable time at all. If that feels like a really difficult specification to work with, it is. Soft real time is more common. Soft real time theoretically has the same considerations, but in general you have enough performance that you can wave away many of these difficulties; yes, technically my hash table is not 100% reliable every time but as I can show it'll never have more than 128 entries, and I've got 25ms targets for this task I'm doing, and I've got 32MB when my code only uses about 4 max, and these numbers are all large enough that I can just not care about the resizing operation. I've got many systems I've written that are just straight-up accidentally soft-real-time in practice simply because running them on even a moderately-powerful modern PC is a hundred times more power than they really need, and they're already 10-50 times faster than they "need" to be even before optimizing them, so barring pathological network performance that would trash any system, they're essentially soft real time already. You don't back your way into hard real time, though.

I'm saying that no one ever said you shouldn't be allowed to do loss leaders. Predatory pricing is a specific set of actions in a specific context that happen to do with selling products at a loss for a period of time.

>"Is lines of code a good metric? Short answer: no." [...] Some of the most important jobs in an engineering team involve little code.

Being marketed as an IIoT device differentiates it from classical "mission critical/rock solid" PLC modules I guess. Treat it as an Arduino with WiF and Ethernet but with friendly screw terminals and connectors instead of needing a shield for interfacing te traditional sensors and actuators.

Two Weeks of Chaos: Inside Elon Musk’s Takeover of Twitter
Power prices have been going negative and spiking up 100x in the UK for a decade or more.

Yet the vast majority of EV's don't have the ability to discharge into the grid to earn money... Most can't even charge when power is negatively priced unless you pay for a third party charger and service.

Basically, Car owners, charger owners, Utility companies, and EV manufacturers would all like to earn the money by charging/discharging your EV at times to earn the most money. But all of those people don't want someone else being able to take that sweet sweet revenue. So they put roadblocks in the way.

EV's usually have the capability to charge into the grid, but firmware that won't allow it.

Chargers (AC and DC) won't allow power to flow back into the grid, and will disconnect any car who tries.

Utilities refuse to let home users take part in the minute by minute pricing - instead the best available is dynamic pricing set half hourly a day in advance.

And users want to do this, but have three parties who've assembled roadblocks in the way. And there is no indication of that impasse ending anytime soon.

at so many jobs, you are only as valued as the last big thing you did, and that is just impossible to sustain when you get older and have kids etc... your mental and physical health must be your first priority, once you lose those, a) it is guaranteed you would get fired anyway and b) these things don't heal as rapidly once you start getting older. So my advice in all that is prioritize yourself first and take risks (even risks that require you to push yourself to the edge) but only if those risks enable you to someday be ok with the consequences of what you had to do.

Acceptable Risk: I'm working my ass of for a company which has promise and the work i'm doing here is directly valuable and is teaching me many things. Even if this doesn't work out i would have been richer for having experienced it.
