> Would it not make sense to set rates somewhere in that window (roughly 2-4%) and stop messing with them? For other countries, scale rates accordingly.

That alone wouldn't work because inflation is affected by factors beyond interest rates, but this is basically a part of Modern Monetary Theory: set short-term interest rates at a fixed price, then use other levers to push inflation back to target.

IMO, a more compelling alternative to the current system is Nominal GDP Targeting.[1][2]

Nurse and doctor are not very good when you consider that nurses are not paid that well (unless you are an RN or a specialty nurse), and doctors earn pay comparable to plumbers when you consider the opportunity cost of going to college/being in training until your mid-30s. This is in the US.

It's often much more profitable from a payoff/effort ratio to become something like a Physician's Assistant / Nurse / Lab Tech than to become an actual Doctor nowadays.
> If you're having problems with speed, I'd recommend profiling your build, it's possible there are a handful of functions that are taking most of the build time.

How does one do that? I hit this problem a lot. (I’ve since learned to use lots of explicit casts to make it less bad.)
Don’t blame boomers, blame knowledge economy industries and the unbalanced and concentrated rewards they produce (not just at the top, but all the way down the line). When we came to America we moved to Northern VA, and we’re able to afford a nice house in a good school district even without my mom working. Subsequent waves of mg family are moving to places like Texas for the same reason.

To get housing prices under control, it’s not going to be enough to tackle the supply side by building more housing. You also need to tackle the demand side by heavily taxing those knowledge workers so they have less disposable income to spend on housing.

In a community like HN, where most people work on making rocks think, it’s no surprise when most people start applying the logic backwards: that since we think, we can be no more complex than rocks.
Terms like “TDD” come loaded with all kinds of varying opinions on what that means and how it should direct your other behaviours. It’s okay to write unit tests first without ever thinking or saying “TDD.”

“But that’s TDD!”

“I dunno. I just wrote my tests first.”

“But you’re doing TDD wrong because you didn’t go and make it minimally pass before improving it!”

“I dunno. I just wrote my tests first.”

Doesn’t mean it’s not right to adopt a pattern when you identify that you’re implementing something similar to it. But you aren’t obligated to get trapped in its gravity well.
What an amazing little machine - and they managed to build it using (a lot of) standard 74-series TTL chips and a few more PALs than the original Mac uses. The board picture on bitsavers shows ICs with date codes between 1980 and 1984, so it's a bit hard to say when it was designed/built.

It seems that the CPU still runs at the original 7.8336 MHz (oscillator U285) and it doesn't seem to have separate video RAM. In addition to the 1 MB DRAM (32 x Fujitsu 81257 256kBit chips) there are only 2x2kB 45ns SRAM for the MMU and another 2x2kB, which I assume are used for the color LUT.

I wonder how they managed to squeeze the required bandwidth out of the design without significantly slowing down the 68010. The DRAMs feature a fast "nibble mode" allowing for high-speed access to four bits of data, but I'm not sure if this makes a lot of a difference. Do you know if the YACC used the original 512x342 classic Mac video resolution?
Not really. I, as the hiring manager, have a lot of interest in someone who is productive and can help out (among other qualities obviously).

And in fact I have become very critical about people coming from FAANG when hiring into a smaller company. The problem is that they are often overestimate their abilities, aren't easily able to adjust from a big corp into a more dynamic, fast environment being hands-on and - which is the worst - don't see the problem with themselves but with their employer.

That being said, there are certainly brilliant people at FAANG. But most of those don't apply at smaller companies anyways. Leaving me with candidates that aren't a good fit, despite having a great resumee.

What are the many and better ways? Social media certainly isn't one of them. Subscription email also shouldn't go to junkmail unless you're doing something very wrong.
The one here is better. "Failed attempt" is a generous assessment. It implies it was possible, and a good faith effort. That is at least debatable, and it is unsupported by visible efforts.
I think laypeople would not make this distinction.
> When I was 23, I misdosed myself and took 110mg of 4-AcO-DMT.

I don't have iOS, so I'm going to assume their widgets work similarly to Android widgets.

I've got a calendar widget and a messaging widget. The calendar is in 'agenda' mode, so it shows me the next two or three things I'm supposed to do, and I can scroll to see more if I want. Almost everything I need from calendaring without loading the whole app. (Sounds like iOS might not allow scrolling, so then you need to use more screen, which is iffy)

For messaging, I've currently got it showing all messages (from one app), in case I dismissed a push and forgot about it. I used to have a widget showing just messages from my spouse, because I had a lot more messaging going on (used for work) and it was easy for things to get lost. Maybe I could be more organized, but that ship has sailed.

Weather seems like a nice option, but I'm ok with being surprised by unexpected weather.

I rather enjoyed the Windows Phone live tiles, where if you went to the home screen it'd show you all the icons, then if you sat there, things would flip and you'd get tidbits from everything. Widgets aren't quite the same.

how many more layoffs approximately need to be done until we’re normalized?

1 mass 10k layoff at 5-7% of workforce: not terrible

1 mass 10k layoff every quarter for the next 4 quarters: probable or not?

Yes, because .NET was so old and mature that it's not like you suddenly received updates from all around that your computer couldn't run. By the time .NET 5 was popular enough everyone could have the runtime. And if not, your software were advanced enough and your devs competent enough in the old ways that you could enact change for years.

I suffer from that at work (I have 200 users on .NET and dozens of servers needing some python): we dont have the runtime for .NET 5 installed on windows yet, and we dont have python 3 on many older servers. There is one part where we suffer immensely, and another where we barely care: I let you guess which one.

> Y: X was right.

Why are we always in the cycle where X is the contrarian and minority but was pushed aside while Y enjoy all the frames and glories but is fundamentally wrong.

I am putting X and Y here simply because this observation hold true not just in tech, in streaming but everywhere else.

It is not like they were not warned.

Back to the subject. We really something better than BluRay. Smaller but also much higher in storage capacity, and when stored properly that could last a hundred year. While being cheap to produce.
12 kilowatt hours of battery storage gives you 3 hours of heat at 4 kilowatts. In 3 hours you freeze, literally (it's -0F/-18C outside, around Antero, Colorado).

12 kilowatt hours of battery is close 10 $10K in cost and takes 6 feet by 6 feet area and weighs 200lb.

Whatever you may think, in RV world:

1. Heat only can be done with gas/diesel/propane
2. AC consistently only on shore power
3. Cooking on propane
4. You will still be not living consistently in cold areas (like the Rockies) or warm areas (like FL).
5. Most of those long term rviers just hang on campgrounds for the electric power reasons (and sewer hookup).

So, electric RV is a dumb idea and will never be here.

I thought the layers separate and they are not a good long-term storage medium. Aren't DVDs supposed to decompose after some time? Or is that only true for CDs?

I don't know why you'd run a flatpak you don't trust with all that permissions micromanaging. That's the kind of thing you do when reversing malware, not when using everyday tools. The idea that that kind of flatpak even exists already portrays a very sad state of software.

Same with music streaming. I went back to my offline collection just recently, keeping one service for the occasional discovery of something new or to me unknown. Too many favourites disappeared, or just reuploaded corrupting my playlist. Too much garbage flow at us (mostly means the video streaming where they decide for you what to list in the prime space of the interface, what you want is unimportant) to be comfortable. The quality of the players are decreasing due to bugs and eroding user friendliness. It is not fun anymore.

What is your listening environment?

Circa 2004 I listened to a CD of an album through good headphones and thought it sounded night and day better than the 128k mp3 files of that album I'd been listening to. That got me to upgrade the bit rate and I would say 192k mp3 is much better and 320k is much much better.

Related: Why have hard drive sizes stagnated? It feels like 8TB has been the golden standard going on 8 years now.

I'm very close to doing the following: Putting 6 drives in a portable RAID device, and ripping my movies to 720p x265 for storage. I can store a near limitless amount of movies and TV shows this way, and honestly I don't notice 720p. At least not enough to trade a 1GB movie for a 45GB 4k Remux. And I own a latest brand new 65 inch LG OLED and Sony OLED.

Added benefit is that its trivial to stream this anywhere at home or remotely. The files are so small that even scanning around the movie is instant.

The only thing holding me back is 8TB hard drives. So I wait patiently and continue to pay for a plexserver some guy manages for me.
Is anyone compiling statistics or numbers on how H1-B's have been affected by this?

It's tough giving advice without knowing the specifics. Ruined the life is different for different people. Someone who's failed their college degree might think their life is ruined, another person who's lost their entire family might think their life is ruined. Both are quite different cases to diagnose. For a general template, ChatGPT actually offers a good response:

If you feel like you've "ruined your life," it's important to remember that it's never too late to make changes and improve your situation. Here are a few steps you can take:

1. Acknowledge what went wrong: Take responsibility for your actions and understand that you have the power to change the course of your life.

2. Seek help: Whether it's from a therapist, counselor, or support group, talking to someone about your feelings and situation can help you gain perspective and develop a plan for moving forward.

3. Make a plan: Identify specific goals and steps you can take to achieve them, such as getting a job, going back to school, or improving your relationships.

4. Take action: It's important to take consistent, small steps towards your goals. Even if progress is slow, you are moving forward.

5. Be patient with yourself: Remember that change takes time and that setbacks are normal. Be kind to yourself and don't give up.

6. Surround yourself with positive people who will support you in your journey.

It's important to remember that everyone makes mistakes and that it's possible to recover from even the most difficult situations. With time and effort, you can rebuild your life and create a better future for yourself.
