On a completely different topic: After watching my first marriage degenerate and my wife asked me to move out, I was fairly well mystified about what was going on. We'd read lots of books about marriage and communication, planned for it to be tough, intended to see it through... so what happened?

"The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work" by John Gottman was a book that I read after we'd separated that first started to make sense of the dynamics of my first marriage, and what caused it to spiral out of control. Unfortunately by that point it was basically too late (as the book predicted, actually); but it certainly helped a lot in my second marriage, and has helped make sense of the dynamics of a lot of other relationships as well. Definitely recommended reading.
The patients also aren't actually paying for it, so mostly don't care. Insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare is paying.
Greenspun's rule also applies to libc's. I've seen far more bugs introduced by bad "bare metal" libc reimplementations than I've seen difficulties introduced by just using using a real libc.

I'm not sure what your alternative is to stateful runtimes and I'm very curious what such a thing would look like beyond the reentrant APIs already in most libcs. Even Go and Haskell use stateful runtimes above the OS e.g. allocators/GC.
>The "exchange rate" is only determined by the order book, i.e. ultimately by supply and demand.

if that were true then all exchange rates would be uniform across all providers
True, but if you think about the initial goal of a decentralized payment method over the internet and not in a crypto-maximalist perspective, it doesn't necessarily make sense to compare it with VISA or Swift which mostly process payments IRL.

When bitcoin was designed, its throughput was a significant fraction of Paypal's which doesn't sound so bad. In fact, having a decentralized, uncensorable and open-source payment system taking 20% of Paypal's market share would have been a major success regarding Satoshi's stated goals, and this was something achievable even with the slow network. But it never happened, and all we have instead is this gigantic VC-funded distributed Casino where hackers and fraudsters thrive.
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. You don't have to go through that flow. You can just use the docs and run it using digital ocean, docker, linode, kubernetes...

But! We are updating our onboarding to be quicker. In re to app perf, it's a little surprising. It's an area we don't get much neg feedback on so I'm happy you reported it. I'll feed this back to the team.

OP here, thank you. I've given many tech interviews from the hiring side and know what bombing looks like. In my case as a candidate it's less bombing and more a bad feeling after struggling with trivia questions or a time crunch. Of course I don't know exactly how it's perceived on their side, only that they get back to me later saying they don't want to proceed. However between the various parts of my portfolio it should be obvious I can deliver high-quality code and complete reasonably complex projects, so all this extra stuff shouldn't be necessary if just need someone who can do that.
This sort of claim has been made after a study was released that took the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies as the source of thruth for whether people had gotten COVID-19.

This sort of claim can’t be made on that basis because a lot of people do not produce antibodies after infection.

Paper: “Predictors of Nonseroconversion after SARS-CoV-2 Infection” – https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/27/9/21-1042_article

Abstract: “Not all persons recovering from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection develop SARS-CoV-2–specific antibodies. We show that nonseroconversion is associated with younger age and higher reverse transcription PCR cycle threshold values and identify SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in the nasopharynx as a major correlate of the systemic antibody response.”

Please note that this was already known when the study which is taken to show that people are imagining long COVID was published.

It’s not a good study.

Quite a bit of research has been done since then which further pins down the fact that long COVID is very real and how to diagnose it with biomarkers, which turn out to correspond very well with people saying that a SARS-CoV-2 infection messed them up.

Please also consider how harshly judgemental it appears when someone accuses a large number of people of imagining or making up a severe and disabling condition. You have to be very certain.

You are ignoring the parents that lost children due to the vaccine, or now have children with ongoing medical issues.

Children are not dying from covid. So there is no need to vaccinate them unless they are in a high risk category.

The NY Times reported "For children without a serious medical condition, the danger of severe Covid is so low as to be difficult to quantify."

bounds testing is important!
Flu shots also use a vaccine mechanism that's been known/used for decades and is not a first of its kind in history mRNA treatment. I feel like this difference would lead towards one requiring more testing than the other, at least in a rational society.

[Edit] For anyone that wants to downvote this, please explain what I said that was untrue. Flu shots in the US have never been mRNA based. Covid shots in the US are mRNA based. Before covid, there was never at any point in history an mRNA based vaccine rolled out to the public.
I don’t think we’re on the same page about what midstack inlining is being used for in my suggestion. This discussion is about eliminating a heap allocation, which as far as I understand, RVO never does. Please read the article I linked if you want to discuss this further. I don’t want to repeat the article pointlessly.

I’m also fairly sure Go uses RVO here too, which cuts down on the number of times the object is copied around, but again, it’s irrelevant to the discussion of heap allocations. Copying the object isn’t the performance problem here, needlessly allocating a very short-lived object on the heap over and over is.
Having worked with Nutanix, I would bet on them failing. Their products are consistently medium good. Not great, not terrible, just… “okay”.

The problem is that the competition is getting very good very fast. Nutanix competes with the cloud, which means that as Azure and Amazon get better they get less compelling.

Most of our customers that choose Nutanix previously are on Azure now.
There's a somewhat tangentially related heuristic to your points imho. When writing code, when in doubt, task CPU over memory, it will generally yield leaner, better software. Easier to profile, debug, and optimize. Much easier to scale in production environments too.

Code which optimizes for fast running time, tends to lean heavily into using memory-bloating data structures and caches. These are often poison for aggregate performance in real world environments, and like you said among other things, reduce visibility in the workings of system.

There's some implications of this stance; e.g. optimizations to reduce memory footprint are generally never wasted, while optimizations to squeeze out a few ns of runtime may have many more unexpected consequences.
Except the issue is how certain we are of these percentages. In poker, the win rate of AA against 72 heads up is well known.

In reality, we don't have that. We get whatever ideas have the largest marketing budget behind them, and we just have to trust them. It's more like "nobody gets fired for buying IBM (or pick your favorite pundit)" than running a poker scenario through a solver. And that's fine, I don't think you can expect much more than that out of people.
> It seems like it would only get picked up and shared by people in on the joke.

If I have a significant following on my main/normal account, then I can create the fake one and then retweet it on main, thus showing it to all my regular followers. From there it just needs a little normal organic traction - and yes, that includes many people who immediately understand the joke and are RT'ing it because it's fake.
I think it’s surprising? that there has been an uptick. A number of my friends have followed me to the Netherlands in the last year or two after me being here almost 5 years. I get emails ~monthly asking questions about moving here, just in the past year.

It def feels like an exodus (albeit small scale, maybe just an order or half more than usual) of tech workers from the states.
Can't you just type [deadkey]+Space to get the ‘undead’ version? That works on Linux and MacOS and ChromeOS.
I guess it's also possible that HR people actually believe all the stuff on résumés is accurate and think those candidates are worse than someone presenting the exaggerated version of the exact same work history and abilities. I was trying to be generous and assume they simply think those are amateurish or are some kind of non-conformist or lack-of-social-awareness red flag.
Company have valuation would be based on recorded revenue, profit or at least growth rate. When buying a stake in a company, there is a whole legal framework and due diligence. Crypto token just have the bunch of wash trades to support theirs valuation and no transparency.
Early retirement and, to use rui's word choice, "earn a comfortable income" are not inconsistent.

U.S. authorities probe FTX collapse, executives' involvement
This is not true at all. It matters from both a principle standpoint and also a data availability standpoint. If I tell you that I won't sell your location info to people starting today but I was selling it in the past, how difficult do you think it would be for someone to use that past information along with current information to figure out what your favorite restaurant is or where you work?

It matters very much that a company only stops selling or tracking your info because they got caught or had a data breach. Look at Google right now. They're being sued by several states for tracking location info for people and then selling it to advertisers without those users' consent. It matters very much to me if Google is suddenly claiming that they're privacy conscious because their actions explicitly speak to the fact that they're not.
Why? People expect it to effectively be a sales document. So if you have a bullet item like "One of 100 people peripherally involved with only modestly successful $PRODUCT," readers would be forgiven for discounting that experience.

To be clear, per parent, I'm not saying to lie but things can generally be presented in a positive way.

Twitter is under a consent decree from the FTC due to misusing users data in the past. This means they must do certain compliance activities that other companies don't. It sucks.

> You can easily drop a cache in any place you load a resource without significant code changes.

Only when the cache is brand new. The problem with people with cache addiction is that they think they're free. So once they know a cache is there, they begin to lean on it, and lean on it. I've seen it with many different teams in a number of verticals. Sometimes while I'm there, sometimes before I arrived. It's the people not the company.

This illusion that you can always turn it off later is dangerous. That's only true if you have an impeccable information architecture when you start. And if you have that, you've already done a lot of heavy lifting before caching becomes your only option.

Most gold bugs I've interacted with are more interested in replicating commodity money (i.e. gold coins for trade) than gold standard (i.e. dollars backed by gold).

Gold standard is dumb for reasons you say. Commodity money is by design supposed to be 100% backed, as the gold is actually inside the money and the face value is the weight gold inside it.
No, nobody thought email was secure at the time, that statement stood out to me as well. It’s just an example of marketing bullshit, as is the whole article.

> Effective Altruism

The practical version of Effective Altruism for most people is essentially "if you're well off, you should donate a chunk of your income to buying anti-malaria bed nets/deworming medicine/direct cash transfers for the global poor". I don't see how that could "sour" in your mind, seems like a fairly unreservedly good thing.

I want to point out that there are real people [1] being helped by Effective Altruism right now. Telling them "sorry, can't help you any more, some rich asshole in the US just committed a scam, and he claimed he wanted to help you too" just seems incredibly petty and cruel to me.

[1] - This is also a group that traditionally doesn't receive much attention either.
That could apply to a cryptocurrency DAO as much as a startup accelerator. Why not just say how the funding works instead of masking it in that way?

The deeper lesson here is "don't use pointers unless you're sure you need them". I've seen quite a few people use pointers for no reason in particular, or there's simply the assumption it's faster (and have done this myself, too), but it puts a lot more pressure on the GC than simple local stack variables.

Of course sometimes pointers are faster, or much more convenient. But as a rule of thumb: don't use pointers unless you've got a specific reason for them. This applies even more so if you're creating a lot of pointers (like in a loop, or a function that gets called very frequently).

A more stark example is that of Newton. A true philosopher, by hacker news standards he'd be considered a misguided madman, since he spent 2/3rd of his life on "unproductive" topics such as religion and alchemy. However, the "productive" 1/3rd cannot be separated from the rest.

One must remember that the word "scientist" was coined merely in 1834...the word isn't 100 year old even. Newton saw himself as a philosopher, he studied the ancients intently, etc. The same applies to many of his contemporaries as well.

My overall point is, one shouldn't judge a person too harshly for any particular piece, while ignoring their larger contributions and efforts.
C++ still has this problem - std::unordered_map<std::string, std::string>` and `std::unordered_map<std::string, const std::string>` are basically unrelated types - you can't const-cast the templated const away. (I may be misunderstanding here)

> Now suppose I were able to get people to pay me peanuts (through donations for the sake of the argument) to maintain some critical software because, you know, “someone has to do it and this guy will work for peanuts”, just how many luxuries am I expected to do without to comply with some overbearing regulation?

That's a weirdly specific hypothetical.

In this situation, we're assuming the regulation is morally responsible for you living an austere life and not, like... you for choosing to pick the job instead of other better-paid software jobs, or the software users for not being willing to pay for critical software they depend on? And the regulation is therefore immoral if it costs any non-zero amount to anybody to comply with it, even if that amount is low?

They also lose a lawsuit on the day of that tweet (and the drop was pretty typical for that day on the market) so I'm not really convinced their stock was altered much by a fake tweet.
Punctual article by Cliff Kupchan. The (abridged) analysis:

> The Russo-Ukrainian War[, that will last for many years,] will spur deglobalization, especially in the energy and food sectors[; it] has the potential to lead to armed conflicts between Russia and the West[, with] impact on global stability

> The war will propel ongoing deglobalization and decoupling[: through reduction of risk in supply chains, for both Countries and firms, also after the possibility that suppliers may be hit by sanctions of similar magnitude; also, through increased diffidence against non-condemning China]

> Deglobalization will have a particularly lasting impact on energy markets [in a search for reliable friendly partners] and food security [in an increase of protectionism]

> Energy groupings will divide U.S.-Canada-Latin America-EU (where Europe is getting closer to the already established circuit in the Americas), Russia-China (where the original diversification from China is overridden by the discounted Russian prices), and Middle East-Asia (where the position of the Saudis discourages Western interest). [...] Several countries and regions will occupy a more ambiguous status. India will remain a floater state, drawing supplies from Russia while crude is cheap; imports of Russian crude have risen from 30,000 BPD prior to the war to over 800,000 BPD at present

> While the relationship is not always direct, runaway food inflation and hunger are often accelerants of social unrest. The two most salient historical examples are the Arab Spring protests in 2011-2012 and the food riots of 2007-2008, both of which occurred against the backdrop of high food inflation [...T]he frequency of food and agriculture-related protests has risen considerably. The number of these demonstrations between January and June of this year topped the total number of similar protests during the last five years combined [... M]arket interventions [hence] look increasingly attractive[: t]rade policy measures, regulatory changes, stockpiling, price caps, and subsidies

> [I]n the former Soviet space, expect more wars as neighbors try (with Western support) to move away from Russia

> [In the international system, ]overwhelming U.S. power deterred challengers and suppressed most wars. Under bipolarity, though, leaders must judge the power of not one but two nations - a task made even more difficult because the bipolar system is new

> Russia’s leader... badly underestimated the strength and resilience of the U.S.-led grouping within bipolarity[: t]his is an example of why wars are more likely under bipolarity than unipolarity - a misperception of relative power leading to war

> Deglobalization in the energy sphere means that the market alone will no longer dictate flows [...] In the food arena, the war will be a long-term driver of upward pressure on food prices - both because of the uncertainty it creates about production and the support it lends to market interventions
The “The Two Income Trap” Trap
Sometimes, the best way to train children to avoid putting their hand in the fire is not to be overbearing and make certain they never get burned, but to let them make that mistake and get burned a little so they viscerally understand the consequences of doing such a dangerous thing. If you never let them get a little burned, then they might get terribly burned when you're not around to pull them out.

Losing tons of money is not the end of the world, even if it can feel like it. It might just mean you have to swallow your pride and go work at Walmart or McDonalds for a while to build yourself back up. Millions of people live that life every day.

If you’re a FAANG level developer (very top of your field) then surely you’ve got a network of people you can ask for a job anytime rather than having to apply as normal?

I’m not even remotely FAANG level but if I wanted a job I’d email some people I know or Tweet that I’m looking - not fill in a form.

Have you tried working your network? Emailing some friends?

yes? do the research. you're making assertions you haven't done research on, apparently.........
1) You might be overthinking this question by worrying too hard about keyboard shortcuts at this stage. Until you have a site worth a damn, even technically knowledgeable developers aren't going to be worrying about looking for another set of keyboard shortcuts to learn: they'll be looking for a search button to click same as 99% of users out there. (I pulled that statistic out of my butt, but I'm 89% sure that I'm 96% correct.)

2) I feel like overriding default operating systems patterns is almost always the wrong move for any question. I'd get a bit ticked if CMD+F worked differently than I expect for finding an item on a page.
