The second sentence is a bit misleading. Reserves are not a prerequisite for lending in our monetary system. The bank gives out all the loans that it deems profitable and only has to ensure after the fact that its balance with the central bank is sufficient (in your example, if it had loaned out 1700$, it would need to increase the balance by 70$, e.g. by taking out a loan with the central bank).

edit: Here is a great explanation: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/boe/files/quarterly-...

Quote: "Another common misconception is that the central bank determines the quantity of loans and deposits in the
economy by controlling the quantity of central bank money
— the so-called ‘money multiplier’ approach. In that view,
central banks implement monetary policy by choosing a
quantity of reserves. And, because there is assumed to be a
constant ratio of broad money to base money, these reserves
are then ‘multiplied up’ to a much greater change in bank
loans and deposits. For the theory to hold, the amount of
reserves must be a binding constraint on lending, and the
central bank must directly determine the amount of reserves.
While the money multiplier theory can be a useful way of
introducing money and banking in economic textbooks, it is
not an accurate description of how money is created in reality."
I'm actually interested how does one hold USD or any other currency? I mean actually hold. And not end up holding short or long term treasuries and like which seem to have been behind the bank failures.

I have one Yubikey tucked away at home, and another at my mothers a few hunder kilometres away; these are „last resort“ keys to my core accounts. For daily usage, I rely on iCloud Keychain with FaceID/TouchID and encrypted file systems on my devices. I’m pretty confident in this setup: You’d need to steal my laptop and my phone, get my fingerprint or face, or my password; yet you still can’t lock me out entirely, and chances are if I’m robbed, I’m going to reset everything right away.

AsyncImage is a SwiftUI component to show Image fetched from internet resource. It is available since iOS15.
Such a simple way is beneficial to build a UI layout with ease. but when it comes to the possibility to use AsyncImage on production level, I think we can’t use AsyncImage directly. This is because there are a lot of limitation in AsyncImage.
Oh, OK. I wonder why it is used so much as a tiling texture then.
Seems a well balanced discussion. I think people are generalising too much when they make statements pro and against Clean Code practices. They take their context and make universally true affirmations. The context will always drive the conversation. Will you use clean code when programming micro-controllers or OS kernels or games? Probably not. Your focus is somewhere else. But for the 90+% of use cases, those practices will give other benefits which are more valuable, like better maintainability, extensibility, etc. When you start from "let's built an Electron app for example", performance is for sure not your main concern.
I agree and said something similar elsewhere but i think whats becoming clear is that a bunch of VCs are so selfish (and clearly not that thoughtful) that this behavior might undermine the collective of the bank.

Crypto market is affected by the following in order of biggest impact to least:

This article is missing the point. On many of these issues it isn't a question of likelihood.

Eg, the COVID lab leak theory - which will likely never be settled in the positive or negative. Doesn't matter what the percent chance is. If there is a 10% chance it was a lab leak, that is still a massive concern. We can't afford to unleash COVID every so often; there are a lot of labs and accidents happen regularly.

And even if the Havana syndrome thing is real by some weird chance; there is nothing there. It is largely a non-issue that doesn't matter. Lots of weird things happen in international politics and it isn't a top issue even assuming one of the conspiracy theories is true. It is just a cute story that people read for fun.
You could say the same for TV or film and most of it is still garbage.
But that’s a problem in and of itself… you don’t want to have 40 different keys that all prove that the bearer is “you”. Instead of having one thing to a worry about losing, you now have to worry about 40? And any of them would authenticate as “you”?
Your manager sounds like a complete tool. Go is easier to learn than React IMO.

office work sucks m8. i left my coding career behind this past sept. and have no regrets. i lost all my stress-weight, stopped having anxiety attacks, and my life is generally better. GET OUT OF THE CORPORATE OFFICE. people who work in those environments are not capable of actual work, and most of what they produce is busy-work linked to more busy-work, so they can say they do work. and to add to that they posture themselves using office politics to sustain a position that doesn't really mean or do anything, but they politically align themselves in a way that makes them and their hollow job seem really important. ya know what that results in? other people (good or bad ones) getting shitcanned as a result for no good reason. there is no job in the corporate office environment that will ever give you 100% what you want out of it, because someone else is always taking that away from you to pitch themself. i can not reiterate this point anymore than GET OUT! no one in that environment cares about you. GET OUT. find your happiness on your own. GET OUT and stay away from shitty corporate people. the corner you're in is where they want you. TILT THE CORNER AND GET OUT!
The article states that this offer is for the white-collar employees

General Motors will offer voluntary buyouts to a “majority” of its U.S. white-collar employees, according to a letter sent to workers Thursday from CEO Mary Barra.
The consistent response I have gotten from managers is that more or less - people fake work sitting in their homes or work multiple jobs, and we collaborate better when we are sitting in an office. They use this as a force function to pull employees back into the office.

I call BS on all of these. Employees faking work - your hiring problem. Employees working multiple jobs - again your problem, keep them occupied with meaningful work, if not bring in legality to protect your IP or whatever. AFAIK no one working multiple jobs are revealing IPs.

In person collaboration - There may be some truth to this. High profile decisions are best taken in person, that being said during covid almost all decisions were done on Zoom not just for a week or so but for 2 years. Isn't that proof enough that even government level decisions can be done on Zoom ?

Design discussions are best done on Miro/Google docs than on the whiteboard. Multiple people can collaborate efficiently on Miro, especially with an iPad. Not only this, every voice is heard instead of just 2-3 folks standing at a whiteboard and driving discussions.

So many tools that make even pair programming or production debugging a breeze.

I can pretty much negate every argument that mandates in person office presence.

What I really vouch for is in person collaboration events once or twice a month where everyone comes together for a couple of days and hash out key issues and have a totally unstructured time for collaboration.

And of course, have an office for those who want to come in to collaborate. Not everyone has a spacious home, people like to hang out with co-workers during lunch etc. However make it mandatory that all group meetings will be done on zoom, in order to provide equal participation opportunity to remote workers. These hybrid meetings with a few people in a room and a few on zoom are a total disaster.

We’re all screwed. The modern governance of Man vacillates between well meaning incompetence and reckless adventurism. A personification of our modern selves?

The answer to your riddle is individual men cannot keep up with the attentive demands of Power.

Without principles, integrity, and devotion how can an apparatus of men maintain amid the continuum of time?

Let us consider an objectively consistent consensus on Truth, human rights, and law.

Let us consider the incompetence, complicity, and negligence of man as a great burden and liability. Now what of his corruptibility, treachery, and ambition?

Intelligence “leaks” are only one sign that your controls are delusions of self deceiving minds.

Cell pagers are also deemed secure in some places, despite being broadcast over a wide area.

Both of the technologies can be seen as "secured" by laws outlawing listening to the information sent in cleartext.

I wouldn't call it "security theatre", i would call it "security through legislation" or something along those lines.

I thought "security theatre" was a routine that promised, but did not provide, additional security, and while there is no technical security, there technically is some security, in the form of legislation.
Not as far as I can tell. It is very dynamic but so is Javascript (and Self).

I think the problem is different: Ruby is severely underspecified and the only way to get good enough compatibility is to piggyback on the official implementation with its interpreter, gc, libraries, C interface, build tools, package management, etc. I also think, but this is just a hypothesis, that most programs use library code implemented in C almost all the time, precisely because Ruby is so slow. That means a JIT has to reimplement lots of library code in a way that makes it JITable/inlineable and that is a lot of work + it's hard to keep it exactly compatible.

It is hard to do that in a way that removes all the (probably very obvious) inefficiencies.

Python has the same problem + it used to have a JIT-hostile leadership. Ruby is quite friendly towards JITs.
> Nobody seems to reflect that if you physically steal the laptop, guess what, the usb key that's still in there was also stolen.

I think that largely misses the point of having such a key. I have one, and I'm well aware that if my laptop is stolen, so is that key. But the point of it is not to protect the laptop from the outside; that's why my drive is encrypted.

The point of that particular Yubikey is to secure passwords and authenticate to some websites, all of which requires either a PIN or more passwords, even after breaking the encryption of the drive itself.

Then there's the fact that, if you steal my laptop, you're probably looking to sell it for cash. That is to say, threat models matter. If your a journalist in a hostile country, maybe other steps should be taken. But most of us here on a site called Hacker News aren't under such threats, romantic as they may be.

> Where do the specialists come from?

They come from all different walks of life. That's part of what makes hiring specialists difficult. Specialists don't start out that way, they become that way, mostly due to intense focus on a particular area for a long period of time. Some people get that way quickly because they are pre-disposed with passion for a particular area, other people get that way due to their environment needing them to be there and sticking to it.

There's consistent way, that I know of, to "create" a specialist. Probably the closest is by rote memorization and drilling from detailed and intensive instruction, which is the method militaries use to staff specialty roles, but quality and capability vary greatly. I don't necessarily classify these folks as "specialists" in the same way as someone who naturally gravitates towards a subfield.
Agreed. When there is paper thin and paper light e-ink tech that cost about as much as paper then I will consider going all digital. I tried going all digital with my business forms process with iPads. It didn't work out.

Crypto being valuable is mostly useless. If I’m buying a coffee, I don’t really care about the market cap, as long as there is enough value to enable active transactions, it works.

Crypto might be the future, but I can’t see any reason why it would be Bitcoin or anything else that exists currently. It’s more likely something will come along with more features later making it more useful for real transactions. Obsoleting the current coins.
Bank balance sheets are the opposite of a general busibess.

Disagree. Transitions can help to convey meaning when used appropriately.
It's seldom a single variable decision. What percentage would say "remote only" if it paid 80% less? 50% less? 20% less? Etc. Some would take it but most would not.
You have an 'ideal' office (if there were such a thing) though, it's not really the comparison anyone means, or what's generally realistic.

Your sort of office is the sort of thing that for most people is more attainable if they do work remotely, and then rent a space near home, or build/convert a shed/garage/outbuilding.

Your happiness working from the office is also quite tied to your employer, I'd assume (I don't know Sweden or what's normal though), which is obviously either limiting or means you might find yourself back in the 'will only work remotely' camp when looking for a new job.
You seem knowledgeable about TypeScript, so you certainly very well understand what people mean by "types are not available at runtime". Once your typescript is compiled to javascript, there's nothing left of your user-defined types and interfaces. Type guards are a security that is very much a workaround for the lack of types at runtime.

Not in how I use it. I only connect my yubikey when I need it (rarely at that).

> right? Right?

Just generally don't do this. It comes of as unnecessarily aggressive. Instead you could say "Do use USB locks on your laptop, because ....". The "right? Right?" is not making your point more persuasive.

> Because if not then all that added layer of secure feelings is pointless from an operational security perspectiv

You are assuming all kind of things about the threat environment and the concerns the person has.
I was thinking about trying Winamp again at some point, but nowadays I use Spotify, and shuffling a ton of MP3s across systems doesn't seem as compelling as it did 10 or 15 years ago. I guess I don't really have a strong need for an mp3 player anymore.
Slightly tangential. After interviewing a candidate, within 20 minutes they sent me a long thank you note that had several generic things that definitely did not apply to what we discussed. Very obviously ChatGPT-generated. Using ChatGPT in and of itself may not be all that bad, but this shows that the candidate did not even take the time to tailor it to our conversation. During the interview I was on the fence about pursuing the candidate but this justifies a clear reject.
> UK before Tatcher was a depressed society with stagflation

Hardly a problem local to Britain, and hardly something Thatcher solved. It was a crisis that also passed in countries that did not elect viciously anti-state, anti-working class governments.

> crumbling infrastructure; that couldn't even clean its own streets

Bit of an exaggeration, and I'm not sure how Maggie "Minimal State" Thatcher has supposedly helped with that.

> Thatcher won two landslide re-elections for a reason

If it weren't for the Falklands she would have been a one term president.

Both of these can be true at the same time:

1. Medical transition genuinely helps trans people

2. x% of adolescents who identify as trans will desist in adulthood

> First, do no harm

The fact of the matter is that without a reliably way to differentiate 1 from 2, medical transition will be doing genuine harm to x percent of people. This is a core violation of bioethics. To borrow from Blackstone, I would rather nine trans people go through their biological puberty than perform a mastectomy on or render infertile one adolescent who will later come to deeply regret it.

> The Endocrine Society acknowledges .. it is placing “.. a higher value on psychological well-being, and a lower value on avoiding potential harm.

This acknowledgement is shocking to me, and I imagine it's why there is so much vitriol in this debate. What kind of parent would want to see their child harmed this way by a system which has explicitly de-prioritized harm reduction?

And this is all aside from the fact that one of the main themes of the investigation is the lack of high quality evidence that medical transition uniformly helps trans people.
Wouldn't that mean that I can login with any two keys? So instead of laptop+yubikey I could login with the keys from two laptops? Or from two yubikeys?
It’s interesting that people don’t associate the X in Mac OS X with “10”.

As its name implies, Statically typing does mean that the typing is resolved in the static environment (before execution). Dynamic typing is resolved in the dynamic environment (during execution). Both enabling all kind of techniques. You need dynamic typing to have eval which is the core of the lisp language therefor you can't have a "true" lisp without dynamic typing.

The pricing at 10$ a month (paid as 120$ a month) was for me already too steep. But I could justify a subscription last june because of 3 reasons:

1. Philosophically: I want to pay for things I use
2. Quality: They do provide the best results
3. Experimentation: I want to try out new things

The new pricing scheme has forced me to abandon it. When my current subscription stops in june it is back to Google.

My workplace requires us to come in a few days a week. I don't like it, but I don't dislike it enough to quit.

I don't get value out of being in the office. I'm an introvert. I come in, dump my laptop on the table in the dull open space office, put my noise cancelling headphones on, then do the same exact thing I do at home. I do the watercooler banter on Slack.

My coworkers are fine with remote work. My manager outright admits that he would have let the team stay remote if he wasn't getting prodded by HR, who are of course enforcing corporate's diktat.

And that brings us to the problem.

Corporate.

Corporate wants everyone back in the office and they're insane about it.

Every unoccupied screen now has some lines about how cool being back in the office is.

Every company-wide meeting has a 10 minute speech about how we should finally get back together and collaborate.

There is total disregard for people's actual circumstances.

They keep telling us this policy is for our own good, that we can work better this way, but a FAQ document had a question on it about those who collaborate with people in other regions and even with all the HR-speak flowery words the answer basically was: we don't care, deal with it and come to the office.

An executive at a corporate-wide meeting outright BRAGGED about being sick with COVID and lying about it so he could attend a company function in person at the height of the pandemic.

The obsession is genuinely uncomfortable at this point.
