Unless you unplug everything when not in use, you already have a dozen fire hazards at home. A PC that's powered off still delivers power to a bunch of components like the Intel ME, or nic for WOL; your TV, dish washer, washing machine, fridge, Alexa, smart hub, router, PlayStation 4 have some soc running 24/7. A pi is probably very safe, I've never heard of one going up in flames just like that. It's much more likely the USB charger it's running off will blow up of it's a cheap one from Walmart.
this depends on your datacenter i would wager.

If the energy of your server is green and the heat is reused, as some modern datacenters do, the only concern becomes EOL of hardware and how quickly they change it.

Otherwise, yeah, shared cloud vm is always more economic than single hosted hardware of any kind.

chesterton said that too much capitalism is not when there are too many capitalists, but when there are too few capitalists

similarly, too much home ownership is not when there are too many home owners, but rather too few home owners (banks and landlords)

giving the common man the ability to own, as outright as possible, his own land and home, to improve and pass on to his descendants, is the ideal of all just government, against which the elites, rentiers and usurers have always chafed

If the point the author is trying to make is about having the option not to have to buy a home, then they'll certainly be happy to see the amount of single family home purchases that large corporations are making with a plan to rent them out at scale. Hard to say that will free up the savings of the bottom 50% for anything other than exploitation by those very parties, though.

Retard was not a slur. It was a medical term, "mental retardation" (it's still actually used in some of the literature).

It was used as a slur, the way any term can be used as a slur: by saying it to insult someone. The intend made it a slur, not the term.

In fact, in the case of insulting, it was primarily used against people who don't have that condition (mind developmental problems). "See what you've done? Are you a r...?", etc. For the people actually having such condition, it was just the medical term the literature, and their own doctors used to describe their condition.

Replacing the term doesn't change the mindset. Any new term adopted can equally be used with malice, it's just a BS arms race, focusing on words, when it should have focused on the bullying and attitude. But that would actually make sense - and have an actual effect, so why not take the easier path?

If this is in reference to programming, somebody will have to maintain the mountains of C++ that all the younger devs don't want to learn.

Personally, I'll probably be working 10-20h a week or so by 60 as consultant. Your retirement burn rate is much, much lower if you have cash coming in, even if it isn't covering all expenses.

There is a school of estimating called "Guess the number in the boss's mind".

A salesman's "estimate" is a number for him to discuss with customers; and it might bear on the price he decides to charge. But it's unrelated to the amount of time it takes to do the work.

>Where have all the workers gone?

>Changes to the structure of migration have had an impact on vacancies, which recently hit record high levels. In recent years many EU workers, who filled lower paid roles (especially in sectors like agriculture and hospitality), have left the UK. In numerical terms, their departure has been counterbalanced by the arrival of non-EU workers, who were granted visas under the new immigration system which prioritises skilled workers. This has contributed to a mismatch within the labour force, accentuating vacancies and labour shortages in certain sectors.

Good for them. I hope whoever filled those lower paid roles found a better life elsewhere. I can't stand the false equivalency between immigration and labour shortage. I live in Italy and our media is always sharing sob stories from tycoons who "just can't find hard-working employees anymore". The issue is that the very foundation of our economy is built on masses of disenfranchised serfs forced to e.g. pick veggies for 3€/h. but instead of questioning the dehumanizing working conditions of blue-collar jobs, the real problem is always finding more suckers who have no other choice.

You overestimate how much work is actually done in the cloud.

Disclaimer:Jassy is my skip*7 manager
You are incredibly overstating the efficacy of that "knowledge". It is true that we have a body of research showing that using past task performance as a guide for future estimation is better than most methods. It still has huge error bars, and much of that research wasn't on software development. Software has a rather unique property of only requiring a specific task to be done once, ever. Software development has more in common with the planning stage of other fields than it does with the actual execution of tasks in those fields.

The "Law of Large Numbers" burns people constantly, and those that rely on it fail to understand the self-similar scaling of work and the long tail of distributions.

This "grown up work" is old work that has been shown to be poorly applicable to software development, although I agree it is better than "break thing down into tasks and then use your ego to estimate time for each" which is completely useless. But that is a low bar!

Probably the best I've seen (which was built using some of the research you quote) is Three Point Estimation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_estimation) but that isn't particularly great either, but is an ok mechanism for persuasion!
Thank you, this is really interesting! :)
Or maybe “secret detection”

Though perhaps that’s just my own bias on the subtle differences in the meanings of those words.
This doesn’t seem real. Maybe it’s a distraction to engage people who spend a lot of time on things like this so they don’t get involved in real activities and gum up the works.

I’ve seen this used where there is an anti-productive person who makes other people waste time. When there’s one of these on a project, it can be a real drain. But if there’s two, you can plug them into each other and they’ll sort of create a perpetual motion machine of stupidity of important sounding make work.

It’s important to set a task so it doesn’t suck in others. But forming a committee on conference room naming or something might work.

I don't think lone immigrants would immigrate if they had to cut contact with people they knew.

It's also a big difference in outlook -- people that would scoff at life extension would also be the people ready to "end" something in life, and not constantly be at the teat of something. For example, young soldiers in WW1. That sort of outlook is alien to most now, modernity's pit of comfort makes a fool of anyone who partakes.

The reality is they have fatally wounded their only meaningful hope at profitability and the mechanics of the business no longer make sense.

Deterministic doesn't mean predictable by an attacker who can't read system memory but consider also that this could be implemented as simply as a cache: store the generated password for that hostname for n minutes and reuse it for autofill when present. There are a number of hokey things web developers do around security and this would seem like a good hedge against, for example, the ones who split the password and confirmation into separate forms or make you login to their related services because they haven't setup SSO properly.

You don't need more workers, though. Supply and demand. As prices rise, demand wanes, not requiring as many workers.

When labour is free the amount of work is infinite, but with a higher price some work is no longer worth doing and workers get reallocated into the jobs that are still viable.
I've read the first paragraphs and skimmed the rest, not gonna lie. But for what I understand it speaks mostly from an investment point of view.

I've been renting for 3 years, and I want my own place to do whatever I want regarding building around/inside it, not having to deal with the owner, things that break down and don't certainly belong to me, not having to deal with arbitrary rent raises (and the huge stress of having to move out somewhere else) to etc. etc.

It's not just an investment thing, it's about having something of your own instead of living in someone else's property and abiding to its desires and (rightfully so) conditions.
I'm super happy to see this project. I was thinking about doing something similar a while ago to use in flashcards. I find spaced repetition really useful in a lot of areas, but for math exercises it never really made sense as I would just memorize the answer rather than actually doing the calculation to see if I remember the steps! Ultimately I gave up as it felt like a way to procrastinate by doing something I like (programming) instead of something I don't really enjoy (math).

I might poke around with this and Anki sometime though and see if I was onto something!

Ask HN: Why is it becoming more common to end declarations with question marks?
I've been using this fork of rune audio called rAudio-1 (rern/rAudio-1 on github). I figure both have had spotifyd integrations, so I'll just blanket them both for this thoughtful inclusion.

I keep an old raspberry pi with rAudio-1 running under my desk, with a nice 60 dollar DAC HAT, that runs into a small amp with 2 rca cables, and then into speakers.

Generally I keep it playing a private shoutcast running music from my nas, but having spotifyd means I can interrupt it with anything I was just listening to on my phone - in the car, mowing the lawn, etc.

The continuity without the hassle is the kind of thing tech promised long ago. If it could make it one more step, the gap would be gone ... I should be able to just have all this software talking to each other, and knowing where I am, and playing automatically to whatever seems best, but the interoperability between them keeps it 1 foot from perfection.
Another small step to make people even more rootless. How can local communities form, when what used to be inter-generational homes become as transient as a hamburger? Our only links to society will be through corporations and government.

But as usual, our sick society looks at it through an exclusively financial lens.

* I don't care about any self driving features and don't trust it

* I wanted Android Auto/CarPlay

* I don't want to be locked into a charging network controlled by my car's manufacturer, and the Tesla CCS adapter wasn't available

Although I liked the Model Y I picked up a VW ID4. It's been fine so far (13k miles). For my next car I am even less inclined to choose Tesla with all the Musk shit. I don't want to advertise that I support that guy.

Some year ago, I spent many hours searching for exactly that, started a bunch of threads on social media, and in the end found nothing useful at all - except for one lead I accidentally discovered near the end: GERT, as in "Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique", or "let's take PERT and add proper directed graphs, and notions of conditionals and probabilities".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_Evaluation_and_Revie...

Unfortunately, I stumbled on that at the very tail end of my search, and had no time to dig deeper - but I assume if the software industry knew or cared about this, I'd have seen it mentioned earlier in any of the dozens of "project management" tools and startups I've looked at.
Just an aside, but in addition to graphics, this kind of thing is also relevant to motion control applications, where you have some kind of trajectory that you need to follow and must discretize it into a series of servo motor coordinate positions for the axes of (e.g.) an XY gantry.

This needs to be correct, and very fast -- sometimes the computational burden can limit your machine's top speed before the mechanical limitations are reached.
