Programmers / tech people consistently underestimate how much manual work there is in finance. All finance is a shiny UI on top of a busy back office of people emailing Excel files around and printing them out and circling or highlighting bits of them.

Sounds like you should hire a finance associate/book keeper/accountant/personal assistant/CFO depending on the exact extent and complexity of the work you describe to carry on doing it (or something similar) on your behalf.
Energy recovery is absolutely possible.

On a smaller scale, all jet airliners have a RAT (Ram Air Turbine), which is just a propeller that drops into the airstream if both engines fail. It provides hydraulic pressure and electrical power during an emergency.
Good story, but I see we have completely new goalposts and a new field too.

There is nowhere a Model 3 can go and come back as it left that any off-roader would consider extreme.
This is known as sprite multiplexing and was used on other systems as well to get around the hardware limits of 'max number of sprites per scanline'.

With the phosphor persistence on old CRT televisions, sometimes the flicker wasn't even really noticeable if it was done right - the sprite would just appear to get a little bit dimmer on-screen.
> Can't there be a time limit to allow for repairs and restorations?

Have you ever tried a restoration? I haven't. But I've watched a few on YouTube. The amount of problems and delays (e.g., getting hold of rare or specialised parts) that can mount up is beyond belief. M539 Restorations spent a year working on an Alpina B7 and went through 3 engines (I think, it might have been 4 - I have a recollection of him buying one and immediately returning it but that might have been a different project) doing so (they're notorious for scoring issues).

What I have done, and am in the middle of, is refurbish a house. Similar issues. Take a 70 year old house where nothing is square and the last owner was a bodger and everything is a PITA. It's all doable, but it's a PITA. I recently had to wait about 8 weeks for materials for a particular job to turn up. That's especially bad, but having to wait a week or two if you need to go a bit off piste with materials or tools isn't. Being blocked by the weather (e.g., it's too cold in the attic for materials to cure properly) is also something that can happen.

The reality is it's just not possible to know how long a restoration or refurbishment is going to take when you start it, and you the one guarantee is that you'll find unanticipated problems you need to solve along the way, all of which adds to the time it takes.

(And this is all ignoring wider circumstances: you get laid off, or some surprise expense means you need to lay off spending on the restoration for a while, you fall ill, somebody else in your family falls ill, etc. Life's messy. Stupid rules about how long restorations and refurbishments should take are not helpful.)

All you can do is keep steadily moving forward until it's done.

As a car enthusiast that mostly had to work on my cars outdoors in parking lots for most of my young adulthood, owning my own home with a garage was a huge milestone in my life. Make no mistake- I was excited about the garage, not the home- and without the garage I wouldn't have bought it!

Shortly after buying this home, the HOA passed a new rule that strictly banned all car maintenance, even in my own garage, even if the garage door were closed. The other people in the community (elderly retired urban white collar workers) could not understand at all why this was such an issue for me, but I felt like my home had been stolen from me. They had blocked me from using my own home for the main reason I had purchased it. I was really stressed about this, and couldn't sleep for months I was so angry... and I eventually had to just sell the place and move.

I find the attitude that doing real work with your own hands is "low class" disgusting. I grew up upper middle class in a family of scientists and engineers, where I learned a sense of pride in doing things myself, with my own hands... and that having to pay someone to, e.g. fix your own car for you is disgraceful. It's something a functional adult should be able to do for themselves. It infantilizes you and renders you helpless when you are, e.g. broken down in a remote place and can't just call for help.

You can better thrive in a high tech world if you deeply understand your tools and machines, and fix and maintain them yourself. It also lets you build a connection with the machine that is rewarding. I feel I can trust my vehicles with my life, because I maintain them with care, and know them inside and out.
Totally agree with this sentiment. Everything else about the VSCode experience more or less exists elsewhere. The turn key (and improving) remote experience is incredible. That the infrastructure also works with the development containers concept is brilliant.
Doubtful, still mostly a hammer looking for nails and when the prices come back, so will the scum. There are core issues that do not jive with societal expectations and norms. This gives time for others, outside of crypto, to adopt the good parts of Blockchain experiments without the crypto part. This is what I am hopeful for
Each one of those bullets is a different engineering problem. The math is based on real government R&D I've seen.

They're not even made for cars. With the non-grids in many suburbs, you have to drive for more than five minutes just to reach something that ought to be a two minute walk or a 30 second drive. Endless cul-de-sacs and branches make it unfriendly to everything.
Seattle’s grid is similarly informative with additional information just from the numbered street name.
The main problem with this is that someone uses it outside of its intended use cases, which even cultured people are missing. Jokes aside, great hack!

Collaborative to me means I can easily add a person to a team and not have to spend a lot of time or money getting them different hardware or OS than what they already have access to. Depending on the particular situation, it's possible that Apple tools are collaborative, but even in the Bay Area working in design and engineering, I've never worked anywhere (including Apple itself) where everyone was on MacOS 100% of the time.

HOAs were just a hack around municipal governments being prohibited from engaging in certain acts (mostly, racial discrimination); municipal governments have always been like HOAs, otherwise.

I never meant that “ownership” necessarily changes when a small change is made like a game of hot potato. Usually, this is an ad hoc process where the person or people that performed the last major change or wrote the original version are considered to be the “owner” or at the least someone that may have insight into the code. However, typically developers need to accept the reality of figuring out the code on their own since the “owner” may no longer work at the company or they have no recollection of what they wrote 5 years ago.

I guess this is a downside of the browsers.

If I want to run ancient app (MS-DOS or even ZX Spectrum), there are plenty of well supported modern emulators. But a 5 year browser with feature removed for security reasons like Flash? That's much harder.
For consumers goods there are already many alternatives though. Ceramic nonstick and nanotech based water repellents come to mind. They are good enough for average people who aren't avid hikers or foodies.

I wouldn't be surprised if they started using other plastics in frying pans one day, meant to be used with some fancy temperature control induction system. Lots of stuff is slippery enough for food applications, you just need one that's safe at the temperature oil gets to.

Yes, plenty of people got hurt because they made shitty investments.

How many people got hurt due to their bank running off with their money to the Bahamas/betting it all on red?

Because that's the degree of 'hurt' that the various crypto exchanges have been inflicting on their customers. Can you find me one American who lost money from their savings account in 2008? Or just had it go poof from their stock brokerage?

Food processor. Mine is shit so it needs some helping but otherwise comes up nice and stretchy. Ain't nobody got time to knead for 10 minutes like some recipes/YTbers want.

I put a bit of flour, water and yeast in separate cup and leave alone for some time (till it smells yeasty), mix rest of flour with salt and then add the yeast and remaining wated to it. My reasoning is that it's easier to spread yeast around that way but dunno if that's right, seems to work.

Then mix in food mixer till it is nice and uniform uniform, leave for an hour, then mix again. I occasionally manually reposition dough in food processor a bit but again, that's coz mine is a bit shit.

Then cover and leave overnight in fridge

Why is your position so absolute? There are trade-offs and as engineers we typically would balance those — for example, local development avoids putting the network in the critical path while remote development allows perfect fidelity with your deployment environment, can be an important security win[1], and could make it easier to access resources which you don't have enough space or want to store locally.

Neither of those is right or wrong globally: your particular situation will determine how much you weight each of them.

1. e.g. if you install the wrong Node module, it can still wreak havoc on your remote environment but it can't steal your local credentials, trojan your workstation, or attack your other projects — and by splitting your credentials from the remote environment's you can usually run with a far more restricted set of permissions.
You're remembering entirely correctly! I gave a talk on the Four Color Theorem as part of my master's degree in 2001, and it was a somewhat active epistemic debate among mathematicians at the time. I took the position that examining code was no different than examining a proof, that running it through a computer was no different than running it through your brain, and that mathematicians are not shy at all about "automating" processes over uncountable infinities in proofs, so why should we be shy about automating them over thousands mechanically?

There is a fun faith-shaking element to the story, though. The Four Color Theorem, as a proof, actually contains a couple thousand smaller proofs. These were generated and checked by a computer, but it is humanly possible to check them with a great deal of effort. There was a guy -- I forget his name, and Google isn't helping me! -- who, as his Ph. D. thesis, actually went through them and checked them. And IIRC, he found about a dozen errors! They weren't fatal -- he was able to repair them -- but that whole process didn't really reassure people. ;)

I don't find it interesting at all. Other than wishful thinking I don't see any reason to suppose that consciousness is special or non-physical. I think it will become like the assumptions that the Earth was the center of the Universe or humans were different from other animals.
I haven't experienced it yet, only read about it in various places. So it only exists as a future possibility for me at this point and as speculation about how the various places I've worked or know well for other reasons would use it.

Housing is a good investment because it is a place you live in. When you own (and live in) a house, you ideally make both a short-term profit (by having a place to live) and a long-term one (from reselling it later). These aren't mutually exclusive.
Note sure what you mean with copying the Windows approach, but that line is talking about expenses. It says that part of the increase in expenses was due to Apple spending more on advertising their products. I don't think there is a concern with Apple spending more on advertising.
Quite honestly, I love what MS has done with JavsScript with Typescript. It would be great if they could do the same for C.

I guess the hard part will be the fact that all your dependent libraries will (likely) still be unsafe.

Yeah, plus they even give hints to the password complexity, so unless that is a red herring, this should be pretty simple to crack, if not CPU consuming.

Just combine https://github.com/mejdoubi/rainbow-table and their algorithm together. It would probably take me a few hours to put together, but for someone who is very familiar with cryptography, it would be minimal work.

Ask HN: How to build F-You Skills
The past few months have been stressful for most people in the tech industry owing to mass layoffs everywhere. Luckily, I survived the layoffs at my company. But I was very anxious during the period it was announced and it affected my mental health quite a bit.

However, on talking to a few other engineers at my company, I realized not everyone was as stressed. They are confident in their skills to get a new equivalent job which would easily support their current lifestyle, even in the current market. They have what I would call, "F-You Skills - Enough skills to know that you would never have to worry about money in your life", a spin on the more commonly known term "F-You Money" [1].

I was wondering if HN users ever think of their own skills in this context. If yes, how should one go about building these skills.

To be clear, I am not talking about interviewing skills, which are also equally important. But I am more interested in technical skills that people believe will easily fetch them "decent money" [2] in any scenario in the short term future.

[1] F-You Money means "Enough money to leave one's job, etc. and enjoy the lifestyle of one's choice" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fuck_you_money

[2] not insane money to retire early, but good enough to support their current lifestyle.
This is extremely rare and enough case law exists that you would be able to sue them for doing so. It looks extremely nefarious in court and is a bigger headache than it’s worth.

I’ve never heard of this happening successfully. What you’re probably asking is “how can they screw me?” And the answer is if they terminate you before youre vested. That’s why as an early employee you want to negotiate some type of accelerated vesting schedule.

2 sides of obsolescence:

- Too old, no software can decrypt it: not worried about this. These are NIST-standard algorithms, there built-in in most programming languages, they'll be around for a while

- Too old, trivial to crack: this is a bit more concerning to me. It's possible that some entities around the world can already crack this encryption in minutes/hours days

Regarding the second, I'm already working on an Elliptic Curve version of this.
You're not paying for the repair. You're paying for the peace of mind that comes with a "legitimate business" that you can sue if their shop burns down with your car in it, has an expensive machine that avoids discharging refrigerant, follows labor law, etc.

It's the same reason people pay more for products that are ethically sources.

That said I think the prices are crazy and would be lower if the financial burden of running a "legit" shop weren't so high.
It is a helpful program. With minimal paperwork, you get a device with calling and data service. The phone hardware ranges from basic to decent. They typically have much less crapware installed than your average store phone.

Several challenges with the program exist, compared to payphones.

a) It is difficult to hold on to anything when you live on the street, even without any bad habits. Without a place to keep your things, they regularly get lost, stolen, etc. If you have a habit, you may also be tempted to pawn the device for a few bucks.

b) The paperwork and process is minimal, but is still a barrier. For example, some programs do not give you a device on the spot, but it must be mailed to you. I had mine mailed to a post office and it got lost. I never received the device, but I was marked as having ordered one in the system. From that point on, even years later, I could never qualify for another one.

Compare this to a stationary device that's always there that doesn't have to be maintained by you, and the advantages are clear.

New York has a pretty good system of LinkNYC kiosks, which provide basic calling service, and are maintained reasonably well (about half work at any given time.) They were better when they allowed browsing the web, but that functionality was taken away after Reddit raised a stink about someone browsing porn on them.
