I think both of you are looking at some of the same problems from different angles, and there are some interesting ways in which the community shifted over the same time period. I suspect some of Guido’s instincts were guided by the earlier community which was more early-adopters, and simply younger. The 1 to 2 migration was easier because the median developer was far more motivated to switch - you weren’t using it if you weren’t a fan.

Python’s rise brought tensions there in multiple ways - business users started wanting longer-term support and tools for migrating large code bases, but relatively few would pay for them, and some maintainers had either drifted away or retired, or simply had less time available due to things like starting families or getting promoted. The 2 to 3 migration really highlighted the gap between commercial open source and hobbyist projects, and I’m sure now anyone would fundraise for support having seen how that worked out.

The other thing we’ve been seeing is a switch to faster releases industry wide and I think that showed some serious tech debt. Projects which have CI & decent tests had a much easier time shipping updates or having two release series for an while, and the 2 to 3 migration really highlighted that. Some of the griping was really showing that older projects often had the frictional disincentive of that tool. That’s still relevant because of the way security issues are forcing more frequent updates now.
I live in Tampa and rents are still going up. We're getting more people moving here monthly than any other city in Florida at the moment. (Doesn't help Forbes rated the city the best place to live this year, which I don't agree with, but the hype train is a thing) Well-priced housing is at a premium and moves extremely quickly. So-called Luxury housing is incredibly over-inflated, there's an abundance of it, and if you're desperate or just don't care about throwing money away, you can get in pretty easily because there are a lot of open units. We have an insane amount of new housing here that's gone up the last few years. Renting single-family homes continues to be bananas, with rent ~ $2 sq/ft in South Tampa. I'm paying $1.37 sq ft for a townhouse at the moment, and that was considered a steal when I started renting last year.

> Now, many of those same places that shot up in price are seeing slides in demand and rents are going down. Between April and October of 2022, rents fell 3% in Las Vegas, 2% in Phoenix and 1% in Tampa.

I sure haven't seen that 1% drop. If that's a true figure, I'd wager its the luxury unit companies slightly lowering.

As a C++ developer, I don't really see how it is going to compete against VS Code + LSP, Visual Studio, or even CLion.

From my experience, if you work on C++ codebase large enough that indexing it is a problem, compiling and linking it is a problem of the same order. And as you need beefy hardware to compile and link your code anyway, you can reuse the same hardware for indexing and editing.

Sure, VS Code + LSP may be dog slow on a typical "power consumption-optimized crappy business laptop" like T-series or X-series ThinkPads, but on such hardware, even if I had fast code editor, it'd be a pain to develop due to very long compile times anyway. And on a 12c20t workstation with 64 gigs of RAM any editor works like a charm. Yes, `clangd` eats 20 threads and 20 gigs of RAM for indexing, but go to definition works instantly, and I don't really care about hardware resources.

Then, parsing C++ properly is really hard. Even JetBrains had to admit it as they've integrated clang++ frontend into the CLion. I don't believe that one person can create both a good code editor and a fully compliant C++ parser. Maybe they piggyback on EDG or clang++ frontends, but from their website it seems that everything is written from scratch.

Another problem I see is that very few of large codebases are C++-only. Usually it's some C++, some Python (or Perl, if the code is old enough) scripts, maybe some Java interop code, few Go tools, with a bit of Lua on top. And a lot of make/CMake/whatever build system files. "Big" IDEs and editors either support all of that from the box or have plugins to fill the gaps. I don't know if the paid-only closed-source product can gain traction big enough to have a vibrant plugin community.
Why Subspace (an experimental, safer, simpler C++ standard library)
I'm genuinely wondering why this isn't something one can do in a situation like this...

Filing a report when your money is stolen from you is a very logical step to take. Whether or not the police will "deal with it" is an entirely different manner.

Some cases get dropped, and others take years to handle - but what are your other options? To go around writing sob stories on random internet blogs? To beg for the attention of strangers online?

Having a formal police report filed documenting a clear timeline of what happened from your point of view, is about exercising your civil rights to protect your property. It's also useful for insurance purposes, for example.
Congratulations on having exceptionally high personal living standards while residing in the 7th most expensive U.S city. You represent a miniscule fraction of the world's population. Now of course, this doesn't mean you should base your standards on how hundreds of millions of other families with one or more children manage to live okay in the rest of the world, but I note that even in Seattle itself, there are 110,672 children under the age of 18 and I guarantee you that the parents of only a small fraction of these kids own a 2 million-dollar home or pay 30 grand per year in childcare expenses.

Again, many, many people raise children quite well and responsibly without needing anywhere near $2 million to have a couple of them.
Per the article:

> Now, many of those same places that shot up in price are seeing slides in demand and rents are going down. Between April and October of 2022, rents fell 3% in Las Vegas, 2% in Phoenix and 1% in Tampa, according to Apartment List. All three of those cities saw rents rise more than 30% during the preceding two years.

> nearly half a million new apartment units—the most of any year since 1986—are expected to complete construction by the end of 2023. That will come after more than 400,000 units were completed during 2022...The coming increase in new apartments is most likely to affect rents at higher-end buildings, because there might not be enough people who make enough money to rent them, according to CoStar.

> many housing economists don’t think job and wage growth will be strong enough to sustain much in the way of rent increases [in 2022]

tl;dr Prices are going down in many of the hottest markets in the country. Vacancies are starting to happen and are expected to increase, particularly in higher-end apartments going into 2023.

Construction deaths are added to wind and solar, but people don't add mining and construction deaths to nuclear (that said, they don't add it for hydro either).
What are you using to estimate the raw panel cost?
> You have a substance that you know, for a fact, a certain proportion of the population will abuse, to the detriment of both themselves and society at large.

I can understand why someone may take this stance, but I think this argument is something of a hasty generalization when it comes to drug policy. For starters, the policy alone (prohibited vs decriminalized vs legalized) does not appear to be the determining factor in the "certain proportion" of the population that use drugs problematically or otherwise. The US consistently has some of the highest drug usage and abuse rates compared to our western counterparts in Europe. I don't know of the exact reason for this. Could be other cultural differences between the US and Europe. Could be the fact that most European countries approach drug abuse as a public health issue opposed to a criminal one, and focus on harm reduction and rehabilitation instead of jail time.
Lots of comments from people here who haven’t tried the editor. I’ve been using it full time for about a month, so here are some assorted thoughts.

I don’t use vim or emacs. I probably never will. Sorry.

This editor is made for C++ game devs on Windows. If you are a C++ gamedev on Windows then it is likely the best editor in the market. An example of this is it has integrated Perforce support but not Git.

10x can open .sln files natively and invoke its builds. Very slick.

I’m pretty sure 10x is the best editor on market for Unreal Engine projects. It’s so much faster then Visual Studio or Rider.

It has a custom C++ parser. It’s the fastest and most reliable one I’ve come across. It blows my mind.

The solo dev is insanely responsive. I filed a bug on GitHub and he responded in literally one minute (I checked the time stamps). He sent me a custom debug build which I ran out o get info and had a crash fix published to the world in under 30 minutes. Stellar stuff.

The downsides:

it’s just a C++ editor for Windows and it does have bugs.

It’s not a debugger, just a text editor. I’ve been using RemedyBG which is good, but not as far along as 10x.

Support for additional languages is listed as a possibility for the future. I will keep using it happily for C++. If in the future it supported more languages to the same level of quality that would be awesome.
My area South, rent has shot up around 30-40%.

Now I also know a number of people that got burned very badly by Covid tenants that stopped paying and it took 16 months to evict them.
That was not takeaway as well -this person seemingly lives on an estate. I do not think most roofs even have the space for 21 panels.
Are you going to summarize all the answers?

I think they are just too expensive (seems to be #1 reason or #2). The idea of a $1000 monthly payment is abhorrent to me. For the price so many other cool cars come into the picture.

I like German cars. I drive a late-model Audi A4 that I bought outright for under $20k. I'll probably hop around from there to BMW and Mercedes. Drive all the cool cars I couldn't afford when I was younger.

Even though I work in tech and can appreciate what Tesla is trying to do -- hell, I love that they put the name TESLA back into the public consciousness -- I'm not a fan of the cars.

I think the roadster is cool, but that could only be a plaything. And again, waay too expensive when you consider what else you could get in that price-range. Anyone buying those probably already has a fleet of SUVs and a carbon footprint the size of Godzilla.
> My take: do Microservices all you want, but don't organize teams around the services!

Exactly. In order to reap the benefits of modular/Microservices architecture, you need teams to be organized around product/feature verticals.

IMO it’s not about the internals of a product/service architecture, but about encapsulating, isolating, and formalizing inter-organizational dependencies.
If it helps as context, the author launched fosstodon.org in 2018.
Exactly. Idiomatic C# code does not depend on finalizers to release resources. Finalizers are typically only used as a last resort to prevent handle leaks, it is only memory deallocation that is nondeterministic.
I'm using PostHog for https://printnanny.ai and love it so far!

I've previously used Google Analytics (terrible, requires a tremendous amount of custom code to do basic attribution) and more modern analytics like Segment/MixPanel (great, but expensive).

Love that I have the option to self-host if I out-grow the free tier while still figuring out product/market fit. Since I'm not venture backed, I have to be cautious about exploding costs for managed services.
BEC is one of the best YouTube channels. Not per se because of the legos, but in how the videos assess and iterate. Also, as another HN commentator pointed out, its not "baity", (s?)he doesn't do any of the stupid BS to hype him(her?)self.

Yes, I'm in the target audience: middle age male in US.

I think this is the perfect example of a niche area with an whale/long-tail distribution. It demonstrates the futility - to me - of doing any serious "YouTubing" as a professional plan - its something you have to strike luck and then build on.
Ah okay I guess you’re more informed than I am. Thanks for the info!
I wish a reputable manufacturer would just make "dumb TVs" (aka monitors). I don't even need a TV tuner, just a display panel with the latest HDMI, ARC and CEC support such that I can control all features from my media player's remote (including turning on/off the TV, sound, etc.)

There are things like AW5520QF, but they tend to cost 3x - 4x as much as a TV with the same exact panel because of all the "gamery" features.
I paid ~15k to install solar in 2019. After tax rebates it was ~11k. I’m generating ~12MWh per year. My break even period is less than 5 years.

I’m based out of California, and generate excess energy. My electric bill is now just ~$100/year.

I am not familiar with Advent of Code. If all their problems take ~0.1s to solve in C, you are probably right. However, it is a stretch to make a high-level conclusion just based on small exercises, like this:

> There was never a time where rewriting in another language felt like the right way to get better performance.

Similarly, for small exercise problems, dynamic typing rarely hurts, but for large collaborative projects, static typing starts to show its advantages.
I'm always surprised about the price of solar panels in the US, I think we paid about €1.2/W. It's not like labor is cheap in Belgium.
Shoes you’ll grow into is advice for children.

Mastery is substantially about figuring out what rules of thumb and aphorisms are in place to keep beginners and idiots from hurting themselves or each other, and which ones are universal (including some about not hurting yourself, eg gun safety, sharps safety, nuclear safety).
>The panels, because they are black

Doesn't seem like that would matter once covered by a few inches of snow. But otherwise your points seem solid.
I don't disagree and I have had that problem before, such as in expressing business ideas that aren't fully formed to certain people best summarized as "haters" who offered unhelpful criticism and attempted to dissuade me rather than shore up the idea. Perhaps this wasn't a good example, become this isn't so much thinking on public as engaging in organizational politics, making an argument for reforms within Google.
As cannabis (and now psilocybin) have demonstrated, we don't really need federal legalization to make significant strides at the state level. If anything, it's a positive pushback against nearly a century of dramatic overreach by a federal government granted far too much power. At some point, the federal government will have to face the awkward situation that 100% of the desirable to live in states are in open contempt to federal law, and they have to play catch-up.
This is not a significant phenomenon driving rent increases. You make more money if you defect from this arrangement and real estate holdings remain diversified in America.
On #1: For me the pricing was a giant breath of fresh air compared to traditional dealerships. Audi kept me there for nearly three hours, the final price was 6k more than what was quoted to me on the floor, and they gave me what felt like a spreadsheet "explaining" the costs.

Compare this to the final paper we got from Tesla: https://ibb.co/rsqGvFq
I'm not sure this is news: access to live support from your operational partners is crucial to... operations.

AFAICT, this has always been true, and it's why I recommend all COOs build strong relationships with their supply chain partners and distribution channels.

Maybe my misunderstanding is how the speed would be independent of torque.

My thought was that the 2x resistor has 2x the coefficient of kinetic friction, which means 2x force and 2x frictional torque. In order for the system to be at equilibrium, meaning constant speed, the battery torque must match the friction torque.
The way I've done it for my own notes (in a custom-made static-blog generator) is to have a template dedicated to "notes" and some over-engineered pipeline for similarly small datasets [1].

You don't produce much in the winter anyway, you can brush it off the panels with an extendable broom but it will naturally melt and slide off. Unless you have snow cover all winter you'd likely spend more on the extendable broom than you'd produce from the panels.
My parents had panels installed on their house, it is a large single story house in Austin, Texas, which is pretty ideal (more surface area for panels, less volume inside vs two story). No trees in the way either. They haven't had to pay anything for electricity yet. And that is with an EV charging in the garage.

We have panels on our roof, a two story house, also in Austin Texas, not so lucky as my parents. With the area maxed out we still have to pay for about 25% of the electricity we use.

Where do you get that amount of explosives that can be used under water and not be questioned at time of purchase?

I didn't read about robots but divers that had to jackhammer under water.
Sounds great to me. Especially considering you aren't paying any taxes on your returns when they come in the form of deferred costs. That's equivalent to a pre-tax return in the mid-teens. You won't find that in most asset classes these days, and definitely not with the risk profile of solar.
What's interesting about this is it is not a model for any kind of memory in natural systems but a synthetic biology method of adding an event log to a biological system.

> a sane thing to do

imaging your application contains of two pieces - somewhat simple crud, that requires to respond _fast_ and huge batch processing infrastructure, that needs to work as efficient as possible, but doesn't care about single element processing time. And suddenly 'the sane thing to do' is not the best thing anymore. You need different technologies, different runtime settings and sometimes different runtimes. But most importantly they don't need constraints imposed by unrelated (other) part of the system.

I suspect that the poster you're replying to makes a confusion with public posts, which ActivityPub, unlike email, has. When the public namespace is encountered as a recipient of an Activity, Mastodon indeed iterates over all the instances it is connected to and pushes it to all.

But for follower only posting, you are right, Activities go only to the recipients, theoretically to each individual inbox, practically to the instance's shared inbox.
Ask HN: Anyone get anxious when they have nothing to do?
This has always been the case for me, not sure why, but when I have nothing to do at work I get very anxious.

I assume it’s because the other areas of my team are very busy and conversing on various problems and that makes me feel like dead weight and drains my energy.

Open to suggestions or tips on avoiding this. I’m trying to find things to do, but I find it equally draining to fill the time at work with useless stuff.
It’s either shrinkflation (bad) or a way to sell memory modules with a few defects (good)
As a somewhat disagreeable person, I have to agree.

So much of my time spent at work is in a state of frustration at processes and people. I think it's my job to be vocal about what I see, either to improve the situation, or correct my perspective (i.e. learn!).

However.. I have to sanitize my language and use the most gross of corporate speak. I often sleep on it before sending a contentious email. I'm still the team asshole, but an old boss said every team needs one ;)
The author linked the parts. The link to the Longi LR4-60HPH-360M panels shows a $200 price (x 21). I had to google for the inverter, a Solar Edge SE6000H-USS3, to find a price ($2000 x 1).

As with many other communities - the vegan community is not homogeneous. Like I said before - yes there are some people within this community who are dogmatic, but that doesn't mean veganism is dogmatic.

The core principle of veganism is not wanting to harm non-human sentient beings and generally not wanting to destroy our biosphere.

So if someone strives to live by those principles, but still has to use products that contain animal products, e.g. if you need to take medication that contains gelatin or similar and there are no alternatives then it's OK - it's not dogmatic.

Further down this article there are various other examples: https://veganfta.com/2022/11/23/practicable-veganism/

Or here is another article talking about this: https://veganstrategist.org/2017/09/13/beware-vegan-dogma/ - this person wrote a book called "How to Create a Vegan World: a Pragmatic Approach".

The goals is to get rid of animal factory farming and the destruction of our biosphere. Dogmatism isn't going to get us there.
