Fake nice is ugly.

P.S. I'm not cynical, perhaps you meant to say skeptical; if it truly was only $40 billion per year then every country in the world would quickly pay their share to fund that.

Fine. Go get a bellyful of chitin.
No idea. I transferred a bunch of coins from Bittrex and Coinbase, sold some for USD for a nice profit, put that USD in to GUSD, and a month ago pulled out last year's interest of ~$1500 USD to buy some beautiful pendant lights, brass faucet, and a mediocre range hood for my new kitchen remodel.
A (partial) bank run on Tether already happened. From May 2022 - July 2022, Tether capitalization went from $83B to $66B ($17B withdrawn).

The recent bank run has so far been a lot smaller. From Nov 9th to today, the move has been from $69.75B to $67.25B ($2.5B withdrawn). Maybe if the FTX contagion extends, we'll see more redemptions.

This is exactly the same concept as Thunderbird and Outlook smart folders. Gmail addresses this using labels which adds metadata to the IMAP messages. IMAP folders are not reliable to tag messages as having multiple tags essentially duplicates the message on the IMAP server.
I would go to the library and pull out some books about franchises. Seems like a good way to go for brick and mortar.

There’s also a lot of breweries that require upfront investment.
This person is correct. Outside the tech sector there are companies still hiring at a rapid rate. Is the tech sector an early indicator of the overall economy? I don’t know. it could be. But if you need a job look at other sector. Lower paying sector like education, government, and non profits are pretty desperate for people still and these are often great places to work with good benefits even if the pay is not so great.
You should pick up a language that has different concepts than python. Probably a compiled language with the ability to run things in parallel. Golang comes to mind. It isn't super challenging to pick up and it can be a gateway to other more complex languages.
Before I deleted my reddit account I was convinced that downvoting had more of an effect on what frontpaged on a subreddit than upvoting not in that the algorithms gave more weight to them but a few downvotes would cause an article to disappear quickly and not get more upvotes.

If you posted anything along the lines of "maybe Java has some good points" or "I am at least partially into programming for the money" you would get always get downvoted into oblivion on proggit for instance.

I've not experienced this. Arch Linux has a good guide on setting up mbsync. However, the best documentation is really mbsync's manual... Although tedious, really understanding it makes things a lot easier and I believe would resolve your issues.

Non-unionized employees don't have, but yes, it's true that they require a fair process. In this thread we're talking about people who are performing badly enough to matter — that sounds like giving someone an unacceptable rating, telling them what they need to do better at, and firing them if they don't improve. The government managers I know who've done that hate the insinuation that it's impossible since that's basically saying they can't do their jobs.
luckily it does solve it, because most of the cost is due to low volume.

construction in the US is very labor intensive and has low-productivity.

plus the permitting process is also very low-throughput. (too many possibilities to stop the process by appeal/suing, and the whole jurisprudence of what is considered a sufficiently detailed environmental assessment is fucked up. the law needs a bit of tweaking to focus more on cost-benefit, include cost of rejecting a project, etc.)

and this is also why nuclear power plants are super expensive.
Are you argue for regulation for … it does not help actually and worsen it.
It means there's no such thing as a free lunch (aka anything giving you "guaranteed" magically higher-than-traditional-banks interest rates is probably shit).
Right. How do Thuderbird/Outlook/Gmail store the tag, though? It can't be represented in any normal IMAP way, right?
Thank you. What's weird is that they describe Jane Street as an "under the radar" shop, which it isn't. and also a high-frequency trading shop, which it also isn't to my understanding.

This is such a tiresome common refrain, and a very telling one.

Critical? Then you must not have gotten rich/must not be money material!

This is quite literally the line used by "energy deregulation" MLM hucksters.

It's OK to admit that you're enthusiastic about something because you think it'll make you rich. Heck, it's even OK to promote it because you think that will help pump things in some small way (or a large way, depending on which sketchy Telegram chats you're pumping it in).

But don't BS others, or yourself, about your reasons for doing this.

The music's been fading out for a bit. The world changing innovations didn't happen, the grand plans were very nearly all vaporware, and the few that were even arguably real have come to naught.

It doesn't take any bitterness to come to an overwhelmingly negative opinion about this entire area and anyone even somewhat bullish on it.
It didn't work (I think? It was just a white screen). I tried changing IP with CTRL+SHIFT+L and it wasn't doing anything, then tried copying the link and opening in a different window, but it wouldn't copy (because I used CTRL+L). Only then I realized it just doesn't let you press any button on the keyboard. JESUS CHRIST never show me this link again.
Yes, he’s simplifying by assuming the home owner’s other assets and liabilities are small enough that they can be ignored. And also, there are different ways to do valuation.

The “book value” of equity according to accounting is just (assets - liabilities) and doesn’t include the company’s own future earnings. That’s what’s discussed in the article. Stock is also referred to as equity and its market value is whatever the market believes a company is worth and presumably does include future earnings according to whatever crystal ball it uses.

In this case we assume a house (valued at its purchase price) is the only asset. I get 4:1 though, assuming debt:equity.

It’s simple math, but definitions can be tricky and the article would be a whole lot clearer if he showed his work.
I don't believe that. Traders do trade because price action is still there. The price itself is not as important as much as the movement!

LUNC (Luna Classic) is still having 1.2bn USD futures volume on OKX, although its value should be zero. Why is this happening? Because LUNC still hasmovements from 0.000184 USD to 0.00019 USD; that's around 4%.

Traders will use this price action, and by doing this they add their own weight to the price action. Simple intermittent reinforcement.
> What solves it is the Fed stepping in and agreeing to print money no matter what to cover customer deposits if need be (FDIC insurance).

The FDIC is not related to the Fed, and certainly does not entail a commitment of mobetary policy (it involves a fiscal commitment by the USG, but the whole point of the Fed is to separate monetary policy from fiscal actions.)
I know low-quality sleep is the cause of a lot of diseases and bad daytime conditions,
and still, it's difficult to have high-quality sleep.

It takes a long time to fall asleep when I go to bed,
and I'm so bored I can't stop browsing social media,
it always ends up with 2~5 hours!

Recently I bought a Kitchen Safe (time locking container) to force me to stop using my phone.
And it works!
I can't do anything other than sleep.
Still, it takes a lot of time to fall asleep, but if I continue this,
I believe I can become a good sleeper!

Mathematician who solved prime-number riddle claims new breakthrough
In SoCal we're having an unusually cool fall so far. Today's high was 68f, it's currently 64f at 5:30PM. I don't think I remember temperatures this low happening in early/mid November in the 15 years that I've lived here.
I realized this is exactly what has been happening for me. Because of even how early things like Christmas shows and stores switching into Chrismas mode happens it really does make it feel like Winter is late. But really it's just that culturally Christmas has started happening earlier.

It is good to be forced to recognize errors and manually send them up the stack. Too many programmers have a "not my problem" attitude about errors.

1. Immediately when the error occurs, send it to logging with all required data to find the exact point of failure + data to understand the "why".

2. Send the error up the stack.

If you do these two things, your systems written in golang will be resilient.
Inflation is a measure of purchasing power. I have all the dollars in my pocket and, depending on what I'm trying to buy like shipments of containers from Shanghai to Los Angeles, I could possibly buy more goods and services from last year.

I think your comments are below the level of quality the HN community demands.
They seem like two separate things, and each will give you different characteristics.

It's important to note: shitty programmers can achieve what a great programmer can but with 10x lines of code copy pasted until all found use cases are covered, and will take 10x the time, and will need 10x the QA team.

So yeah, more LOC == bad, relative to the code's needs.

I agree as I've been in the same position but if you don't tag these properly then they are almost useless. Heavy bookmarker nowadays, 10s of thousands and I search it before I google because HIGH chances are it's something I've encountered before, even just a small tag like {math} helps greatly, even better, {math}, {vectors}, {gamedev}. I even dump research sessions there, eg. if I spend time on a gnarly bug or im grokking a new topic like ml and at the end I have 30 tabs open I save these as a group and label it as such "android opengl mapbox rendering issue", "math for ml" etc. One of the most annoying things is finding the perfect link and you know you did but can't find it again when you need to. Also god forbid you end up on a stackexchange site or forum and find yourself as the one answering (has caught me many times) [1].

Show HN: Everybody should create a practice repo
Hi everybody, I personally found the best way to motivate yourself to program everyday is by creating a practice repo and by uploading anything you code up that day into this repo. This is a great way to stay consistent seeing the bright green light up every time you push your code. It's very addicting and satisfying, and has definitely made me a better programmer over the past few months.
And what economic activity did the borrower engage in to pay out more than risk-free interest?
I don’t see these as mutually exclusive. The ego of tech companies think they know better than the user.

Only checked the first link quickly but he both makes then asumption havin the car in sentry mode spend 0 energy and also realizes it spends enough energy to making charging your car slower less efficient than fast charging.

The second one is interesting, but I don't find it very convincing since thel say themselves they don't understand the results.

They're doing their best, but their testing is just not exactly greatly scientific. They're testing it outside with a whole real car running without controlling for anything like battery temp.
Really it should be on your manager to develop a growth plan for your first 3, 6 and 12 months based on your perceived skills and weaknesses.
Error handling at worst is an annoyance. The syntax? You will get used to it. Everyone has to adjust to every syntax whenever they learn a new language whether they realize they are or not.
Using emojis would be a nice addition to libcaca. It heavily depends on the font, though, so it would be difficult to handle as a simple text thing...

> A bigger team doesn't create buggy software because it contains below average coders.

But it must, by the very meaning of "below average coders" - it's implied that we're rating hypothetical coders on software development skills, which include the ability to make correct decisions (both at code and architecture level).

> It creates buggy software because the team members have to coordinate with more people.

Those are not independent variables. The bigger the team, the bigger coordination problems, the more bugs. But also, ceteris paribus, the worse the coder, the more problems there are coordinating with them, thus the more bugs. And also, ceteris paribus, the worse coders are on average in the team relative to global average, the more of them are needed for a project, which makes the team bigger and coordination more difficult. Etc.
Call them what you want. Each line of code means and does something. If code were a novel, this research could be summarized as “the number of typos and plot holes in a novel are proportional to the number of chapters, paragraphs, and sentences, as everyone knows—but they’re also proportional to the number of words and characters!” Yeah, no kidding. The author is trying to convey information. More words, more information. Holds true across all natural and unnatural languages. Reduce entropy and you reduce the possibility for errors. Though that doesn’t make for a very interesting novel.
"It reads like newspaper" a man once told me about jQuery. A great compliment to that code and something I stive for with each new line!
> Elon Musk is not a genius. He passes off the work of others as his own, he treats his employees like garbage, and he has the impulse control of a teenager.

Ok, Elon Musk is not a genius. And he definitely has the impulse control of a teenager, or of a teenager with impulse control issues. He may treat his employees like garbage (although probably not all of them, I hear he took about 50 Tesla engineers to Twitter's headquarters to check their code, those guys are probably well treated).

But he does things that other people don't. Most other people would have been happy with Tesla at the Roadster stage. Luxury sports cars, in small volumes but large margin. Just like Koenigsegg or Lotus. Why risk a bird in hand for two in the bush? Because he's driven. He's not content. He's willing to bet the house.

People who know how to take calculated risks get rich. People who are unwilling to take risks find this unfair. And they complain those who get rich are not anything special, they just happen to be luckier, or they exploit the work of their employees, or other stuff like that. Silly things like out of 1000 people who flip coins 1 will flip ten heads in a row by pure luck, but will claim he has a special talent to flip head (after the fact).

Musk, and other people like him, are not coin-flippers. Well, Sam Bankman Fried is. But Musk, Bezos, Gates, Zuckerberg, those are not coin flippers. They have lots of qualities that people who are not close to them find easy to discount. They are not in the top richest club by pure chance. In a parallel life, they could have been less successful, but they would have been maga-millionaires too.

It was never FDIC insured:

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/19/crypto-firm-ftx-receives-cea...
isn't that what governments already do? they issue bonds then collect taxes for the coupon payments (debt service).

raising money this way results in very small risk premiums (so low interest rates)

if every project would have to do it separately it'd probably cost even more.

and to solve the obvious problem of efficiency a prediction market could be used to decide what to fund with the "cheap" money.
"The customer is always right" refers to the product design. If you sell shoes that you think are the best on the market, but customers think they're bad, the customer is always right. It helps direct attention toward selling what people want, not what you think they should want.

Notably it does not mean that individual customers (or would-bes) are always justified in their complaints.

> Mature systems tend to have lower Evolution. Thus, there are more bugs being fixed than created.

Ideally. But in practice, they must add features to sell more copies. And even if they have no evolution, OS's evolve that make the software worse over time (e.g. "modern" UIs, hardware vs software rendering, etc.).

We see this in many products that were once best-of-class, e.g. Paint Shop Pro, ACID Pro, etc.

How would that play have had an effect after the bailout was repaid? I can see if there was the run while the ftts were loaned out, but why would it matter once they were returned?
Did it? Or did the cruft just fall to the wayside where it belongs. From my recollection the panic lasted a year and within 5 years the companies that were part of it actually doing interesting things were valued much higher than at the peak of the bubble.

All it decimated were hype merchants and their lemmings. Hopefully the same is true here. I think it will be.
There would still be the same amount of dollars, there would still be the same amount of crypto. Just nobody would want to swap dollars for crypto any more.
If you step back for a moment and think about other fields like writing a book, it stands to reason that no matter how good your editor and electronic spelling/grammar checking tools are, the longer the book, the more likely there are to be spelling/grammar errors.

Like these studies, I'm sure there are a bunch of other metrics/factors you could pull out to correlate with errors, but it makes sense that as the document gets much longer, it's a lot harder to be so thorough with checking.

I do agree that the more mature a thing is, the more likely it is to be correct. This seems like a corollary to the Lindy effect [0]. As something matures and stays in use, it's likely that the problems with it are being found and fixed, otherwise it would die/disappear from disuse due to the issues. With the book example, each time there's a new edition, there's a chance for errors to be fixed. Depending on the behind the scenes process of updating the text, new problems could be introduced, but in general, you'd expect the total errors to trend down over time.

As a caveat to all this, I've often remarked that no matter how many times I review and revise my résumé over the years, I keep finding typos. So who knows...

It's not so easy. In my experience, most bugs that aren't extremely trivial are not obvious locally. A function, whether simple or complex, will look totally fine, but it's in fact buggy, because it violates the implied expectation of the caller, or makes the caller violate implied expectations of their caller, etc. Decoding a complex line of code isn't the hard part here - narrowing down the mismatched expectations and identifying where to apply the fix is.
Yea I am not a fan of the Cloud and many of its complexities but if I have to be honest, when you have 5k employees working on AWS resources: yes, this complexity is actually requested by customers. It was built to meet their granular needs. Same thing with policies.

To the author of the article: AWS is too complex? Then it is not for you.

That said, various cloud providers have different levels of complexity and it is definitely up for debate and criticism.
I wish that were true. But sadly I think crypto's gravitational pull has yanked in plenty of folks that could have accomplished great things (for themselves or others).
