Why is this even a question? I don't see a reason for any hesitancy from your side. In fact you should have informed your superior(line manager and project manager both) immediately with pride, confidence and joy. It helps you as well as the team so that they can plan accordingly.

Author definitely took advantage of the situation to force a larger discount on the company, which I also consider a dick move. However, the situation was complicated. The solar company failed to install within the original timeline, so when they did, the original approval on the loan was no longer valid. It seems the interest rate went up during that time as well so the author’s new loan would have been more expensive to him/her.

The solar company messed up by not getting a new confirmation of loan approval prior to installation, and the author then leveraged that into a fat discount.
Agreed, at some point the grid will need to spend on storage to enable more solar users. So either you need to have a fee to pay for that, or push the storage burden onto the end users. Make that cost apparent and force people to deal with it and we will find creative ways to do so (like more EV vehicles that can act as storage, as the Ford Lightning can)

The fact I have to upload to a server and my document will not be deleted for up to 24 hours, makes it a no go for most corporate users.

> If we are all just taking these coins out of circulation to make them as hard as possible for anyone to access, including ourselves -- then what was the point of the entire thing again?

> But aren't we still pretending that crypto is a currency?

These are such smug comments.

> So this means anytime I actually want to spend some of my own money, I need to go to the bank deposit box and also find at least one friend to help me out?

No, it means you have options to fully secure and own crypto assets in a way dollar bills or bank accounts never allowed. You don't have to do it this way, but if you actually have wealth, you should protect the larger portion of it.

If you have $1000 worth of BTC, just carry it in a hot wallet.

If you have $10000 probably put $9000 in a cold wallet and $1000 in a hot wallet for spending.

If you have $100000, you should probably use 2/3 or 3/5 multisig with a collaborative custody company like unchained capital.

If you have another order of magnitude more money than that you probably know better than myself how to hold your wealth.

In any of these cases, you have full control. Nobody can move your BTC without your sign-off. Your capital cannot be rehypothecated.

So in response to your smug question, yes lock away in deep dark vaults your wealth should you have enough to care about. For daily spending walk around using your hot wallet.

Your comp sci oriented since you're on HN, so if that still doesn't satisfy you, then think of it using caching layers. Keep the bulk of your wealth (should you have enough to justify it) in an L1 deep cold storage, then another smaller chunk in L2 cold storage in a single wallet, and finally L3 in a hot wallet for daily spending.

Another way to view it is if you want anonymity and sovereignty over your dollar bills, you have no choice but to secure it yourself -- probably in a safe.

If you're willing to let someone be a dollar custodian (banker) in today's system, they'll only keep a fractional reserve and lend it out. In actuality today they have other more complicated (but lesser) reserve requirements and without the FDIC bank runs would be commonplace. There's then a whole discussion about the solidity of the FDIC and whether it may collapse.

Fractional reserve systems create the banking cycle and is why we have booms and busts. Ponzi's and fractional reserve systems in crypto are why the crypto market just boomed and busted. There are a small number of legitimate crypto currencies and they're value is tied to the illegitimate ones simply due to crypto-crypto liquidity vs crypto-fiat liquidity.

In this thread nobody is taking a holistic view of what BTC provides.

Even comments that say we're not talking about valuation.

The problem is valuation is part of the reason BTC matters. Sure, you can get custodial security in dollars, but they'll be devalued for banking and governmental purposes.

BTC is sound money that's actually easier to store and use than Gold/Silver. That to me is the way to view it.
John Oliver uses it a lot in the way GP described. Tbh, Tampa is definitely the best of Florida's cities, so not sure why beyond wanting to avoid the usual targets.
While not unsolvable, I think the author is understating this problem a lot:

> Also, let's put things in perspective: yes, it is enviromentally costly, but we aren't training that many of them, and the total cost is miniscule compared to all the other energy consumptions we humans do.

Part of the reason LLMs aren't that big in the grand scheme of things is because they haven't been good enough and businesses haven't started to really adopt them. That will change, but the costs will be high because they're also extremely expensive to run. I think the author is focusing on the training costs for now, but that will likely get dwarfed by operational costs. What then? Waving one's arms and saying it'll just "get cheaper over time" isn't an acceptable answer because it's hard work and we don't really know how cheap we can get right now. It must be a focus if we actually care about widespread adoption and environmental impact.

Because it's not a real blockchain. Most chains are centralized. You should really focus your time on Ethereum. It's the only chain researching and innovating and is focused on longevity.

I read the grandparent differently than you and nightpool.

I read the first two paragraphs as general policy, and then the following lines as specific cases. To come to the interpretation you guys had, you have to assume that the fifth paragraph supersedes the first. It's possible that's how the author meant it, but that's not obvious. The first paragraph implies virtually always preferring calling, independent of which direction the help is flowing.

Addendum:

I don't love Slack, but my company is small, and the number of messages per day is in the 10s. Nevertheless, I have notifications disabled for all messengers, because I also find them interrupting. I only see messages when I'm switching windows anyway. I have the same on my phone: I only have visual notifications. I disable sounds and vibrate. When I'm either being particularly productive, or particularly struggling to focus, I close all communications apps.

I see two candidate alternatives to your "Getting out of the dead end":

1. Give SK a few months/years until it realizes it is losing billions revenue nationally due to hacking by foreign entities and it will naturally invest in its application security landscape.

2. Reconsider your position on SK's current situation by factoring actual risk in the equation (likelihood of threat, in particular). What you seem to have discovered are client-side vulnerabilities that would require direct network access to the client machines to be exploited (i.e., no firewall, no NAT, no etc.). First, these limitations greatly reduce the attack surface and second, they may actually cost the attacker more to exploit than simply sending a well-crafted message with an attachment to click on.

I would be much more convinced by your conclusions if you added elements that would support the hypothesis that the situation is similar (or worse) server-side.

There's a point of view out there that crypto has been beneficial in that it has somewhat de-risked finance, by taking a good chunk of the speculative / get-rich-quick / frat bro transactions out of real money and giving those types imaginary money to play with instead.

Seems mostly plausible to me, though of course a bit simplistic, and occasionally wrong, when more traditional institutions and funds pile in and their losses create more systemic issues. Thankfully, they seem to be mostly over crypto for a while now--at least, that's my read?

The claim was not that you could install the apps after running the command in the blogpost, but that you could install the apps without microsoft store.

you said: "Indeed, most of those can only be installed through the store"

I said: "There is no need for the store at all, and the dev-friendly programs you mention can all be installed without it."

My claim remains true and correct. You're shifting the goalposts by saying the apps would not install if the command in the post was run, when originally the claim was only that they can only be installed via the store.
I do volunteer IT work for a private school. One of the TVs quit working. It would turn on, but you couldn't select any of the inputs (eg HDMI). It wouldn't work until I registered it online with a verified email address and went through a long (multi-page) process on their website, where it asked me for all my favorite TV shows, used dark patterns to imply I needed to give them a Credit Card, etc.

So, yes, the pearl clutching is for a reason.
>10x is written from the ground up in C++,
with a custom UI system and GPU rendering.

It would be interesting to know which custom UI.
You're talking about C++ issues here. Those are very specific to C++.

No other languages besides C/C++ have such a broken import and dependency mechanism. No other language than C++ has such broken "macros" like the template mechanism.

Also I was explicitly talking about advanced type systems. C/C++ have a very shallow and simple type system.

But OTOH C/C++ have the most advanced optimizers.

So the whole picture gets quite bended when looking at it form that perspective.

Scala for example has an IR called TASTy which can be stored along the compile artifacts. It's the AST after type checking (Typed Abstract Syntax Tree). Recompiling form that is very fast as it's (almost) only the relatively cheep code gen step.

Also incremental compilation works differently for a lot of languages because those languages have small and independent compilation units. The situation in C/C++ is again a very specific mess as there are really no modules (until now). Usually you don't need to potentially recompile the world on every code change.

> Features like "style sheets" for code are just linter and auto formatter config files.

No, they aren't.

If I "change the style of my code" the actual code gets changed!

In case I would change the style sheet used for rendering only a local config value would get switched. The "binary code" on disc would stay exactly the same. (Still I could than have "Python with braces" after the switch if this is what I prefer to look at).

> It may be useful to reuse the compiler internals for this, but in practice every tooling author eventually learns not to do that.

Everybody involved in the "LSP revolution" would disagree, I think.

The whole point of LSPs is to reuse the already existing tools (usually the compiler) built by the language devs.
That's just a microservice enabled by configuration.

You got it.

There are all kinds of other problems as well. The train will make a very sharp turn every time it hits a pulley. It's hard to attach something to a cable in such a way that it can reliably go over a pulley. Yada yada yada.

It does seem as if a common trope of libertarianism is "the power of the state is to protect the things that matter to me, and not the things that matter to you". The protection of those things is presented as axiomatic, but it's worth reconsidering some of those questions.
If you talk to people that work with the homeless, rent doesn't seem to be a driving factor. Rent of any amount would be too much for folks in tents because they are dealing with larger issues -- often substance abuse and mental illness.

That said, there are certainly people who live with family or take on roommates that otherwise would prefer to live independently due to high rents. So it is an issue. But rents declining a bit, or even a lot, wouldn't put a dent in homelessness.

> "...I have nothing to do at work..."

No offense intended but that's the mark of a junior developer. Senior developers find themselves something to do, either to improve themselves or to help the business; preferably a single thing that does both. There are always new things to learn that will be a valuable career skill, there are always things at work that have been put off, like updating documentation, code maintenance, or adopting a new best practice. There is never nothing to do.

To forestall the inevitable comment about overwork, people are perfectly free to do these things at as leisurely a pace as they prefer although they would want to have accomplished something meaningful before the next batch of work comes in.
No, I don't think it is. My experience is that there are roughly four conversational style regions in the US: the south, east cost, west coast, and mid-west.
A Database Startups’s 2022 Year-End Review and 2023 Outlook: The Founder’s View
I am the founder of RisingWave Labs, a startup building the next-gen SQL streaming database called RisingWave. We started building RisingWave in early 2021.

It's already 2023, and it means RisingWave will enter its 3rd year. Over the last two years, RisingWave has grown from a personal project to a project with 3.7K stars and 100+ contributors, and the startup has also come out of stealth and became a series-A company.

I summarized RisingWave's 2022 here in a blog: https://medium.com/@yingjunwu/risingwaves-2022-year-end-revi.... It was originally an internal blog circulated inside our company, but now I decide to make it public so that everyone can understand where we came from, where we are, and where we are going.

Any comment is welcome, and I wish everyone a great and successful year in 2023!
Don't kid yourself that residential electricity prices have tremendous price jumps every year. Nationally prices have increased 2 cents per Kwh from about 2009 to 2021. That is a 1.47% CAGR, CPI inflation was 1.55% per year over that same time.

It's more of a purely mechanistic paper I believe, analogous to something like "transfer case wear patterns over 200k miles of normal passenger traffic shows shearing force of XYZ according to this nonlinear graph (which might imply ABC breakages, etc.)".

Despite having access through acquaintances to recreational ketamine for quite some time, I refused to try it until a couple months ago when a major life event left me spiraling and borderline suicidal. Upon taking it (nasally), I was amazed at how effectively and immediately it stopped my runaway panic and allowed me to feel peace. I fully believe that having access to ketamine at that moment allowed me to stay grounded and made it tangibly easier to bounce back and recover in the weeks following.

I have depression and anxiety, so it wasn't long before something else, less severe this time, set me on another spiral and I decided to address it with ketamine again. I found that the same dose was now less effective at quieting the anxiety. As I continued to experiment with ketamine as a potential anti-depressant and anti-anxiety drug, I found that I was building up a tolerance alarmingly quickly. Doses that would put others in a k-hole would leave me still very much able to feel my panic and anxiety. Realizing that, I decided to stop using it before the ratchet of tolerance turned too far. I still keep some ketamine in the house, but with the personal rule of "only reach for this if you'd otherwise be reaching for a gun."

My personal hypothesis is that whatever chemical difference makes my brain more depressed and anxious than a typical person is also making me more resistant to ketamine, though of course I have no science to back this up. (If you do, please link me!) I'm grateful that I don't have a very addictive personality - I know many people who have made a regular habit of it.

There isn't much point to this post other than to share my personal experiences with ketamine. I'd love to hear the experiences of others with it. I think it has an incredible potential as an acute anti-depressant/anti-anxiety medication, but would love to see more studies on it, particularly on how it affects the neurodivergent.

Afaik shingle roofs (common in US) need replacing every 10-20 years.
Agreed, incentivizing storage right now is a great idea because there are many creative ways to get it done. From used EV battery packs to EVs that can run the power both ways, and who knows what else people will think of depending on their location and skills.
If you're dealing with a financial institution, odds are they're covered in these cases by anti-fraud laws or provisions in your contract/service-agreement anyway. I expect the cops would roll their eyes and tell you to go away unless you want to risk a false-report charge. They probably see a lot of people trying to file reports against institutions for often-bad reasons and don't have much patience for it. On top of that, they usually don't give a shit even when it's a genuine complaint—the only reason to even go to them is to get (heh, around here, purchase, even) a police report for insurance, if that applies.
