It's not okay because rising rates and dropping prices kill liquidity for a couple of stupid reasons.

- people get stuck in a house because moving would cause them to lose the favorable rate they currently have. Everybody would benefit from some measure of mortgage portability -- the producer, the consumer, the mortgager, the mortgagee but instead we have this massive deadweight loss.

- price drop causes house building to drop dramatically. We're in such a mess today because builders stopped building in 2008.

In a normal market you'd be right. This isn't a normal market and regulators need to step up.
Is it still amazingly complicated to start a server in WSL 2 that is visible on the LAN?
Yes. A lot of people are being affected by his poor choices and a lot of people are watching said outcomes play out. This means there will be a significant number of people writing about it.
CI/CD Deploy of a MinIO Distributed Cluster on Kubernetes
I took a look at ZIO (https://zio.dev/guides/quickstarts/hello-world) and just the first example explains a monad.

That first example shows that the for syntax desugars to nested flatMap. Which is analogous to Haskell’s do notation, which desugars to nested bind.

The abstractions you said are not there, seem to actually be there in zio!
Businesses never admit that they are legally required to pay a refund. It would constitute a public material statement and open the flood gates to more refunds. For a publicly traded company this would probably actually be some sort of SEC violation as well.

I can't tell you the number of times I've gotten a "one time refund" from the same companies over and over. From the perspective of a business any refund issued is done in good will. Otherwise it isn't a refund.
If a file is too big you rename it to changes.2022.md. People forget everything but you do reviews to check that presumably. with merge conflicts - if those become a problem for your project you can be more sophisticated. In one case we put all our unreleased change descriptions into a directory and generate CHANGES.md as part of the release. For any PR merge however, you can see a detailed description of what was merged.
So what happened to the property? Did people with an invalid loan get a free property? Or it was forced to be sold to repay the loan in PLN?
Or the owed value was calculated in 2007/8 PLN value?

Sorry for having so many questions, but this seems to open a pandora's box of complications
Whom is babysitting whom? You're unlikely to ever meet the CEO, he is unlikely to know who you are.

> Nah, I'll pass. There are so many better run companies out there

Than Twitter? No kidding! Well, pass. Just say that. I still don't get why you care what he (or anyone) tweets, but hey, horses for courses.

Personally I have accepted chaos into my heart. It seems to follow no matter where I go. So long as the cheques clear mine is not to reason why.
Entirely possible. There are plenty of Tesla fires in Norway per google images but from what I can tell it is mostly cases where the batteries were damaged from a collision. I can not find any public statistics on what percentage of those were damaged by salt.
I have yet to find an use case for WSL, when you can't interact with hardware devices and working with the filesystem has its (performance) limitations.

Docker in WSL2? Yeah sure, but I'd rather install a VM or connect to a remote Docker host.

MinGW/MSYS2 have been around far longer and have none of those issues... Then again, MSYS2 does not have a Linux kernel running under it but that shouldn't be a problem unless you want to run containers.
A couple of months ago Elon posted some notes on usage that indicated that the users with huge followings were in fact going away. This was later confirmed by a leaked internal research document[1]. So yes; we are close to that and quite possibly are at that point already.

It's not clear to me that any of the changes he's made so far are oriented towards reversing that flow. It's possible that he didn't actually care about that, I suppose.

Agreed; that's got about epsilon-squared to do with achieving the 20% down payment threshold, though.
The simplest answer is that this didn’t happen and it’s just a myth.
> I want minimum, verified internet speed,

I would check the reviews hoping that a previous guest would mention anything about the internet. Sometimes we took a leap of faith and it worked out. Sometimes a host would include a speed test screenshot in their images and that was great.

I spent a lot of 2021 and this year staying at AirBnBs for weeks, or a month, while working remotely. It does take a lot of energy to find the right place but we managed to barely have internet issues anywhere we went and we found that even places with about 15Mbps download (and even less upload) was still good enough for the 2 of us to work (and she was on video calls all day long)

> a real deal with a real deal chair, a external monitor I can plug in to.

We actually traveled with our own equipment so this wasn't an issue for us. We brought monitors, folding card tables to use a desks, and had standing desk converters[1] so chairs weren't needed. This relieved us of having to find places that had suitable workspaces. I can only imagine how much harder it would have been to search for places that had desks and chairs for 2 people to work

One thing I found annoying in AirBnB searches is that studios would show up when you put "1+ bedroom" and we definitely needed 2 separate rooms so that we could both be on calls at the same time. So if you needed a true 1 bedroom you would need to put 2. Seems like either AirBnb, or hosts trying to get their places in wider search results, conflate "room" with "bedroom"

1. This is the standing desk converter that I traveled with and that I'm still currently using: https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Adjustable-Converter-Workstation...

I really like it but it was a pretty bulky item to travel with. My girlfriend's was a bit lower profile, having only one level (no separate keyboard tray). I probably could have made that work as well
> Installing Linux takes literally the same amount of time than any other OS and if you are a developer, it just works

I don't believe you've ever actually used (or maybe setup) linux because I don't know of a single workflow that your average linux distro ships ready to develop on. You still need to download packages, dependencies, editors/IDE's to do anything.

Linux is still leagues better than windows. But it has nowhere near the reliability and software support as macOS. Anyone saying it does is outright delusional.
Frankly, if your standard for a good definition is that it is readily apparent to the public at large, then pretty much every academic discipline will fail your rigour test. Even (or especially) mathematics. Which should make it clear that this is an unfair and useless standard to hold psychology up to.
What's great about it for me is helping me stay focused on one thing at a time. Composing and writing pure functions is easier for me to reason about as someone with an easily distracted mind.
It is a windows-subsystem for Linux programs.

I agree. I'm going to refer back to this article when debunking pseudo-scientific BS from now on.
Would we have had a recession without Covid or the War? It seems pretty unlikely from what we know. Covid wrecked supply chains and the War wrecked energy + food prices. So the Fed has to step in to try and clamp on demand rather than letting the world economy grow organically to meet it.
Will D1 support Rust/WASM in the future? Are their any open APIs that would allow me to hack something together to enable Rust/WASM support?
I have now read this article and skimmed the authors blog. They're all reproductions of a basic documentation pages. Every single one is submitted to hacker news including a tutorial on writing a while loop in python.

You are right. I don't know why I said 90%. It should be 100%. There should be no incentive to play with customers' funds.
Your hunch is correct. The constant cry of “money printing!!!!” Is an oversimplification.

It’s not totally wrong mind you, but as we all know, prices are set by supply and demand.

An obvious example that I think a lot of people can easily connect with is the fact that globalization has been deflationary (it’s driven prices down), and that isn’t a monetary phenomenon.

As someone sympathetic to MMT, the solution in my opinion has less to do with the fed, Congress needs to tighten fiscal policy.
Why don't you guys just use linux for your dev systems? I've used it for years of Android dev work, and it's been great

I only use Windows for games nowadays
I found that in my current job I don't so much need a summarization service, but a translation service; what does the writer actually want me to know and to do? I got an email the other day with a lot of brain farts, grainy screenshots, and I had to read it five times just to boil it down to "change this tracked URL to that one".
Particular in the corporate space

This is EXACTLY what people in the corporate space need! AI to help them generate nonsense corporate-speak so they can get back to work!
If only Waze let you report potholes. With all those cameras on Cop car's now a days why aren't cop cars just a mobile pothole reporting service? We'd just need to add a gyro and accelerometer which are probably already part of most modern cars to automate this process.

My guess to why this isn't solved is because the cities don't actually have the capacity to fix all the potholes.
Because pay would be by seniority instead of by....skills?
There's probably something stopping you from getting actual 7 figures from that.
Weird -- why not make the fine $604 million (or whatever they truly should owe in refunds) and allow all but, say, 4 million to be reduced?
Hold inventory exactly equal to what the customers deposited, be it crypto or fiat. The exchange rate matters only when trading.
Why? Objectively, it has huge flaws compared to Linux package managers (permissions, sudo, capricious renaming of binaries).
Telnet does not have any standard security, at least by default. No encryption and no authentication among others.
I used to work for a company that rented a portion of Evernote's HQ, in Redwood City. Nice office and location. Evernote eventually recovered and kicked us out.
Just my personal piece of nostalgia.
meh, This is 2.5d at best. See "USB 3.2 gen 2x2" for real 4D trolling.
Damn, if people really are this gullible I should become a con artist. "Well technically I never said that the gold plated gold watch I was selling was made of gold, sooooo I'm just gonna leave. And if you're mad at me, that's on you."
Jest, probably the most popular JS test runner of today, also has had it since forever.
Amazing! I am drafting a similar copy for my company right now. I don't have the authority to offer severance to the employees, but I think the executives will be OK with that here because this will surely boost morale and productivity. Thank god we have someone like Elon to come up with these innovative ways to move companies forward.

The author wants a single key combo that cycles among all the open windows from all apps, because that's what he's used to. There's a terrific free macOS app called AltTab https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app that does it.
how much did you pay for that electric car? They aren’t comparable in price.

It’s weird how we have to have these silly discussions where people must know that they’re obviously wrong before commenting.

> So here we are, everyone fantasizing about espionage.

Espionage isn't a fantasy, it's very much real. People go to jail for it all the time. The only question is to what degree might a company be affected or targeted. Taking steps to add a reasonable layer of security to attempt to protect costly IP isn't being paranoid at all. Not to mention that in some environments there are legal requirements, a prime example being aerospace.

We have had the experience of having an employee provide confidential technical information to a multi-billion dollar international competitor. The same competitor that, for as long as a year, bribed top resellers not to feature our products at industry trade shows. Business can be absolutely brutal and, yes, it can be war.
The huge advantages to home ownership aren't an issue, if home ownership is available to all. Obviously you can't have everyone living in San Francisco, and you can't just hand out houses like candy, but it used to be that if you were willing to relocate and hold down a job, you could own a house somewhere in the USA, even on "minimum wage".

That possibility is gone; houses in the Midwest are now a significant fraction of the prices of houses in California.
Well, it depends how strong the labor law is where you live.
Data point of one and all that, but I got a decent bump in base and have been with the company for more than a few years. I assume that's true for almost everyone else based off the Blind posts.
I loved Evernote and was a paying subscriber right up until they changed their TOS to let their employees read all my notes to work on ad targeting. They backpedaled after a while but trust was lost, I cancelled immediately. I have no sympathy for their failure.
plagiarism on steroids
No they don't. France - right next door - has killed of their monarchs, and now their royal palaces get way more visitors and bring way more revenue than those of the UK.

The "tourist income" lie is - surprise surprise - seeded by a PR agency paid by the royals in order to quell republican sentiment. (And breathlessly picked up and spread by ill-informed youtubers like CGP Grey.)
This website looks sketchy as all hell. Especially with the incredibly outlandish claims, amateur website design, and... a Bryan Cranston meme as part of your sales pitch?

Give the voice controls a try! It's the only way I adjust my mirrors.

I have come to appreciate my Model Y's interface for its uniformity. I do love a well designed physical interface, but what you get in most other cars is a total mishmash of control schemes and design languages that change make to make, model to model, and button to button.
It seems like he's putting the philosophy of the far right flank of the tech world into practice here. He's taking Curtis Yarvin's "companies are monarchies"** concept to heart when he e.g. provokes his employees and then fires them when they respond to the provocation. In other words he values loyalty over competence.

A strict command and control environment like he seems to be building has a proven track record of succeeding at some things for some stretches of time. I mean, it's how most governments operate during war times right? Is it going to help him make back his 44 billion here and now? We'll see. It's a grand experiment.

The only thing I can say for sure is that if his experiment succeeds the lives of normal employees at tech firms will suffer regardless of their personal beliefs or allegiances. The permissiveness and abundance we've all enjoyed due to the emphasis on teamwork and harmony by tech companies for the past few decades has been really pleasant compared to what will come if the harsher Elon model takes off in the context of an ad driven software first tech company as opposed to a hardware focused firm.

note **: I've read everything Yarvin has written from Unqualified Reservations to his interviews in dissident right outlets to his current substack. I remain convinced that he says monarchy when he means fascism because he's socially aware enough to avoid the baggage of that word and, from my perspective, his ultimate project is trying to build an ideological pipeline from wealthy libertarian to strong-man loving fascist. Interesting guy! I feel like everyone should read him so that they can understand the moves of people like Peter Thiel [a long time patron of Yarvin].

update: oh here we go, I Googled him to see what he's been up to lately and found this nice article. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23373795/curtis-yarv...

I realize Vox will put off the conservatives here, but, y'know, you all are gonna like Yarvin anyway lmao. Just go read his stuff. He'll give you tons of smart sounding quips, hypothetical scenarios and anecdotes that will dazzle and impress right wing audiences.
You're not weird. I am not like you, but as a manager it's been important for me to recognize that this isn't at all uncommon.
> I travelled to many places in Africa, Asia and South America as well, never had been questioned and probed like i was in the USA.

The last time I travelled to Mozambique, some “security person” armed with what looked like an AK47 (I don’t know firearms), asked me to see my passport. He then proceeded to demand payment, uhm, I mean ransom. At the airport.

That’s far far scarier than anything I’ve experienced at a U.S. airport, even as a foreigner.
Exactly: "Meaningful."

Precisely, it feels like there's a lot of "activity" and "named ideas" chasing things that may not meaningfully exist? This is of course symptomatic of "publish or perish" et al, but I suppose one of the difficulties here is that the paper is like "here are some bad ideas and trends (fair) so here are some more to counteract that."

It really just gives the impression of "wow, these people are wasting time if they can't even decide on what relatively accessible words even mean?"

E.g. The bit on "symptoms" is crazy sounding.
I used to see this occasionally and always see it as wasteful. However, there is another angle here. Imagine your a C-Suite or senior level manager and you have lots of resources at your disposal. Now you have identified a strategic widget you need to get to within some timeframe, say 2 years to lay into your grand strategic vision.

Scenario A: Task a single team, staff them and let them do their thing. Cross your finger and hope they get it done.

Scenario B: Look across offices, org groups, whatever, and task 2-3 (sometimes more) teams with your task. Let them start work on it and get regular demos and updates. Eventually, pick a winner.

B looks very wasteful from the outside, until you realize that many software projects fail (like 50%). So more attempts give you a higher chance of success. Downside: Internal politics, waste, attrition from engineers throwing away code/busy work.

A is great if you can do it, but you're putting all your eggs in one basket.

A lot of times this is just bad org/bureaucracy though, but it can be done to great effect.

Disclaimer: Worked for a CEO with a large outsourced engineering base and several offices. Would see multiple attempts at different offices all the time. Eventually, grudgingly acknowledged there was a method to that madness. Trump also is famous for this (although his seemed more madness).
I think such a company would equally want to not retain such records (at least not indefinitely), for fear of discovery in legal processes, etc.
Can you reference some cases about this? I'm assuming it'd be state level courts.

There's very limited area where banks can refund the transaction where they are at fault. It is not reversal.

For reversing, they have to contact the receiving bank and person to send back the money which in case of scam is low. You can do that with crypto too. Contact the person and ask them to send the money back.

You also need police report and the sum has to be big enough for them to bother.
Because economic activity is fundamentally incompatible with a deflationary currency like Bitcoin?

If I can passively generate wealth by doing nothing but waiting, so can everyone else. Only suckers would work.

This is basic macroeconomics but for some reason crypto believers just choose to live in an alternative reality.
Yup - it stopped being a functional note taking app. Which is the only reason I used it in the first place.

It used to just get out of the way and let me take notes in my browser with the comfort of knowing I could get them from anywhere later.

Now it's this horrible, janky app that tries to do too many things, shoves constant feature popups in my face, and isn't very good for taking notes.

I used it constantly 10 years ago. I don't use it at all today. I just loaded it up again to see if I'm missing anything -

It takes nearly 10 seconds to load on a developer machine on a gigabit internet connection.

It immediately asks for permission to send me popups

It tries to show me 7 different features on the home screen (notes/scratchpad/pinned notes/recently captured/notebooks/tags/shortcuts) instead of just fucking showing me my last note.

It takes multiple clicks to start a new note every time.

Basically - it's now worse than a physical notepad in basically every way.
It also can be actively harmful to accomplishing the mission. It removes the sense of proportion needed to wisely weigh tradeoffs.

It suggests that people play out roles in the Drama Triangle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovrVv_RlCMw) instead of focusing on building things, solving problems, and helping each other learn.
Ceausescu was an autocrat too but regularly held huge demonstrations for world peace. So not all autocrats are also warlords. Although undeniably an external enemy helps propaganda...
It's interesting to see the continued trends to separate compute from storage.

I'm curious about the tradeoffs. The article mentions increased latency of 10's of milliseconds. If you have a complex access (many joins or index hits), is that exacerbated from many round trips to load different files? From a cost perspective, I image that you now have to think about IOPS. If you have a very high usage database, would it make sense to have a more traditional file system where you aren't paying per operation?

Edit: On reread, I missed that this is only available for the hypertable concept, and is more of a "cold storage" for older metrics, presumably accessed infrequently. I am curious about a general "PG backed by S3"'s ramifications.

It's sad since WSL 1 really is more interesting than WSL 2. Also better suited for my use cases, since it's on the same network interface.
There are hacks, sure, but its not telnet. It becomes a "fork" of telnet which enables you to have more functionality. Thats not telnet.
> Well, I would say the biggest difference is while the watch mode you described runs all the tests for every change.

This is not true though. Might depend on the test tooling used, but most of the ones I've used only run changed tests (either directly or through change detection via git, e.g. https://nx.dev/concepts/affected)

This is already the second Postgres solution with bottomless storage in S3 as Neon provides that as well. For me, the neatest feature of Neon is that it can scale to zero whenever there are no requests (so truly cloud-native and serverless in that sense too), but I don't see a mention whether Timescale will have the same.
