I hope the fed doesn't get spooked.

If anything as long as this doesn't get out of hand this seems like what should be happening in an environment of raising rates - more speculative investments/companies get killed and we return back to normalcy.
This article discusses American non-profits, which I've found to be a very American solution to a very American problem of eliminating governments' abilities to solve social problems, while concentrating wealth in a small class of private elites. The problems still need to be solved, but now they need to include an appeal to the egos of wealthy donors.
I'm typing this to you on a daily use machine that's running pop!_os, has a CalDigit hub connected, and is driving two 30 inch displays. My only issues are what I do to myself with my Linux setup.
Any humility gonna be considered in the tech community? Like any at all? You're part of the establishment now and should be thankful that big brother stepped in and saved you.

Seems like tech is systemically risky and should be highly regulated.
The banks aren’t going to lower their profit margins to pay for the bailout, the cost will be passed onto bank customers. This should be blindingly obvious.
>I also remember a Youtube channel that made videos where one of the kids was constantly "pranked" because they thought it was funny...

If you're thinking of daddyofive, IIRC they had the two kids who were from the dad's previous marriage taken away and put in their bio mom's custody. They were then charged with child neglect and restricted from uploading footage of their kids. They ignored that restriction with no consequences though.
IIRC with 3D weaves, the ratio of strands to empty space (that would get filled with epoxy in typical rigid part applications) is significantly lower.
If you are only running in one cloud availability zone, with the backup plan being, we'll spin up new servers during downtime, maybe.. but if you are distributed over 2-3 hosting areas geographically for redundancy, I highly doubt that any cloud application is cost effective at any scale.
Perhaps folks aren't putting their hands up, because they're not all full time, and don't necessarily want to join a community on Discord.

I realised that I was already browsing the web in a repetetive way, so RSS basically let me automate that. The daily loop would be something like...

- theguardian.com for UK news
- democracynow.org for US and world news
- various blogs for Emacs things (irreal, planetemacs, sachachua)
- ianvisits and londonist for London curios
- a few youtube accounts that I care about
- a friend's flickr
- websites of some NGOs I care about
- HN front page and replies to my comments (like yours!)

Better to start small and add to it bit by bit than drown yourself in feeds that you don't find you care about.

Good suggestion about Bartosz Ciechanowski's excellent site - will add it now.

Edit: looking at your post history, to add that I too have ADHD and this has helped me focus and keep ontop of web updates way better than I have done before. News websites like the guardian feel like they're designed to obliterate your concentration.
The word is overconfidence. We don't need to use 3 words to explain one.
I'm not sure what you mean here. The term 'subprocess' doesn't appear in the fish or
bash manuals afaict. (Most web search results for the word 'subprocess' paired with the names of various shells are about Python APIs for shelling out to stuff.) The term does appear in an O'Reilly book about the Korn shell, which identifies command substitution (`$()`) as a form of subprocess. But I think Fish has had command substitution from the start. The same goes for job control, which is the only other thing I could think of that you might mean by the term 'subprocess'.

There are some old job control bugs, job control behaviors that used to not be POSIX compliant, and one outstanding bug having to do with IO redirection in fish functions that seem like they could be sort of relevant here. But there's nothing I can think of that I could interpret as 'lacking subprocesses'.

I only spent a few minutes looking into this, though. I'm curious to know if you can still recall more specifics, so many years later! Maybe there's something from before I started using fish that I've missed here. But fish is only 18 years old, going by the date of its first release, and I've been using it as a daily driver for ~13 years, and it has had everything I might call 'subprocesses' for that entire duration.
Destroying civilian infrastructure is a valid strategy according to the russian doctrine. Focusing on ordinary apartments, though is just a waste of missiles after 1 year of war without the shock factor anymore. Unfortunately, they acquired iranian drones purposely for the civilian housing.
>groupthink

SVB made terrible investments and gambled hundreds of billions of dollars, and then they lost. It's not groupthink the pull your money out of a sinking ship, it's idiotthink to keep it there.
I've heard many times that while retails AWS prices are high all big AWS customers are getting discounts. Just curious at which scale this starts in terms of $$.
While true, who will ensure people will make an informed choice? I don't think awareness of e.g. environmental issues - which may influence someone's vote - would exist if it wasn't for nonprofits.
The rope would be a series of knots. Kind of like comparing the tensile strength of a scarf to synthetic wool strings (since regular wool is always knotted anyway.)
Meanwhile AWS keeps having region wide outages almost every year which last for many hours - https://awsmaniac.com/aws-outages/

Architecting a multi-region app on AWS is not trivial. All basic building blocks AWS provides makes running MultiAZ very easy, however very few AWS services support multi region deployments and failover out of the box.
Yes, people do make such decisions. Why? Because they expect stocks to fall and bonds to expose them to interest rate risk. They'd rather keep the money liquid and ready to sweep in to buy assets.

People also use savings accounts for impending expenses. Human stuff such as pregnancy, kids, car repairs.

Parking money in liquid savings with 3.5% interest is a very viable hedging strategy for humans. Perhaps not for institutions.
I think this guy wanted to grind his axe on the topic of the corrupt non-profit industrial complex, but tried to bury it in a different essay and it didn’t work. That’s too bad because the NPIC exists and is corrupted and you are allowed to write about it (see: SF Standard’s recent article about TODCO).
> Perhaps the exception now is MedTech with SaaS type business models or cloud based services.

This should pan out because the body has to (at least with current technology) do a variety of things periodically with high frequency to survive.
Hope they fire SVB UK's head of risk assessment. They definitely don't want total wokesters like her running things.
Framework is in fact are working on the firmware to improve battery life, primarily with the Intel TB4 (Burnside Bridge) retimers. Here's the work to reduce power consumption w/ the DP expansion card: https://community.frame.work/t/beta-displayport-expansion-ca...

And here they talk about what they learned working on the Chromebook version: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32927094 that they've been working on in the latest (beta currently) BIOS updates: https://community.frame.work/t/12th-gen-intel-core-bios-3-06...

For anyone interested, you can take a look at their community forums - they're doing as much Linux support as anyone else out there I think: https://community.frame.work/

The LG gram has a few things going for it:

* Soldered LPDDR memory is lower power than SODIMMs

* Not having the extra retimer, not needing it to be active unless the TB4 port
is used

* A lower res display (1920x1200)

* A 72Wh battery, which is 30% bigger than the 55Wh in the Framework

That being said, LG (and other ODM/OEMs) have been making laptops for almost 20 years, and Framework is on year two on basically their first design, so it's probably to be expected that they have some stuff to learn/improve.
> in some cases they were basically forced to by the VCs that funded them

Why did VCs force startups to bank with SVB only, do you know?
Not making a profit on paper means they're a nonprofit, I guess. Nonprofit does not equate altruism, and often smells like tax avoidance.
You need money saved (for yourself and for contractors), and publishers wont be interested in you until you are well into development (unless you have previous experience releasing something). So you're on your own until you can catch the attention of a publisher, assuming you want to work with one.

I didnt start receiving publishing offers until 13 months after I started development (and notably, when I started adding serious art to the game).
Absolutely a business should be worried. I'll give two examples, one old one recent.

As a college student I worked as an office temp at the hq of an midsized areospace company. They had a Treasurer, Asst Treasurer and clerk. Part of my job every morning was to get the short term deposit rates from a list of banks whom they did business with. They then would place their excess cash with a number of those banks.

More recently, I was president of an HOA. Over a span of 5 years we built up a reserve account to just over $1M for a planned capital improvement. Every 250K we opened a new bank account. Had there been a delay in starting the project we would have opened a 5th.

So yeah, the Treasuer and staff of all of these companies should be taken to the woodshed and most likely fired for incompetency.
I think it's important for people who take their profession seriously to know a little bit about how things work at different levels than just the one they are used to.
I think Mac-ers have always been accepting of my Windows laptop with the caveat that historically they only had mini-DisplayPort cables so I learned to pack the right adapters in my backpack to plug into monitors, projectors, etc.

Personally I feel smugly superior when I go to a hack-a-thon with a cheap tablet, bluetooth mouse and keyboard and RDP into a cloud server. My client makes any Macbook look clunky and oversized yet behind it could be a cloud server with more RAM than all of those Macbooks put together.

Anyhow you must have a huge surplus of pretty girls in your life if you are going to not chat one up based on the computer they have.
I took this course when it was PL-focused in 2015ish! It starts with an in-depth exploration of the untyped lambda calculus (with the usual fixins like Church numerals, various combinators, etc), spending half a week or so on semantic expansion rules, reduction strategies, recursion, fixpoints, continuations, how one might encode state with only lexical closures, etc. After maybe the tenth lecture, the class takes a quick detour to talk about predicate logic, Hoare logic, dynamic logic, and Kleene algebra, before deriving a typed variant of the lambda calculus as an illustrative pathway into the latter half of the course featuring algebraic datatypes, unification, type inference, and the duality between formal logic propositions and typing systems. We explored subtype polymorphism, bisimulation, equirecursive equality, and closed on a gentle introduction to monads (of all things) and a teaser of category theory (which IMO should have been taught first but oh well).

As more of a math course than a computer engineering course, 6120 was a first-semester Ph.D. level class, and I certainly wouldn't recommend taking it unless you really wanted to dive deep into the depths of programming language implementation. Incoming students were expected to be fluent in discrete mathematics and formal proofwriting skills. I wasn't, so I found myself falling behind at the start even though I had some familiarity with lambda calculus and algebraic datatypes. You definitely benefit from a strong math background.
Nobody is calling for bailing out the shareholders in SVB dude. Only depositors.

You're going after a strawman.
I just bought a new laptop, almost went Framework. It came down to size and screen quality for me, given my use case. The one-size-fits-all 13,5 is a little small for my taste, and now that they're available I couldn't justify NOT going with a non-OLED screen. I want modularity, good repairs, the option of a FR-CAD keyboard and I'm okay with paying more, but I'm not willing to sacrifice those other aspects. I hope they catch up in time for my next laptop in >6 years.

Where is the hypocrisy? This is a private Catholic organization trying to expose individual priests & by extension, the Church. Just as lay Catholics exposed child abusing priests & the Church. Once again, it’s lay Catholics trying to clean up degeneracy the Church has turned a blind eye to. This being the case, wouldn’t that make you the hypocrite for taking issue with one & not the other?

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_function: "the function return values are identical for identical arguments".

The whole point of pure function is that the caller can understand its dependencies without looking at its implementation, because all dependencies are listed as parameters.

You can redefine what "pure" means if you wish, but that pretty much defeats the purpose.

Many enterprises use cloud because the cloud offers a very high level of compliance. https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/

The hosting providers which provide similar level of compliance are not cheap either.
Good job we don't have a fractional reserve banking system then isn't it. That story is a complete myth based upon a misunderstanding of the way banks work.

If you pull money out of one bank it goes into a different bank. The central bank can then easily fix the discrepancy by taking the 'up' from the different bank and supplying it to the original bank that is 'down' - all within the books of the central bank.

All we need are central banks prepared to do their job properly and there can be no such things as destructive bank runs - particularly as those central bankers are also the regulators and have therefore agreed that the assets of a bank, and its capital levels, are adequate.
I think you're missing GP's point: On-prem/self-hosting vs. cloud aren't the only two solutions. You can also simply rent a managed (physical) server, like many people did before The Cloud became a thing.
A Stateful Multi-Context Aware Design Using OpenAI's GPT
Until very recently, "develop on neural networks" was a good reason to be on Windows where you could get a non-trash GPU. Until Macs made the transition to arm I'd make the case they were inferior, now I'd say a desktop Windows machine still has advantages but Apple owns the laptop space.

Yeah, those magnets only work with people that read them. We also bought one for the cat because nobody knows who fed the cat, if anyone. The cat looks fat and every now and then someone gets a dirty bowl. The solution for the dishwasher is simple. I fire alarm in the dishwasher that goes off when this 2 events happen:
1. The door was open after a complete wash cycle.
2. 5 minutes have elapsed from the door opening and there still dishes inside.
> Language like this suggests your primary concern is punishing tech bros for having too much money

It really isn't.

My hypothesis is that when things go bad, the poorer in society get thrown under the bus, yet the weathier get bailed out. What's happened in the last few days appears to be yet another data point in support of that hypothesis.

> The solution is not to evaporate their bank accounts for reasons that have nothing to do with the merits of their work and are almost entirely due to the economic instability continuing to play out since the pandemic started.

Millions lost their homes during the 2007/08 financial crisis[0][1], did that have anything to do with merit, or was it (to use your phrase) "almost entirely due to the economic instability" caused by excesses on Wall Street?

> makes me wonder if dishwashing as a service has been tried

For commercial customers, absolutely. I first came across services like this a long time ago in Hong Kong[1] but it's pretty widespread in mainland China, Taiwan, and parts of SEA[2] because local restaurants tend to be quite small. Sometimes you can tell because you'll get your dishes as sets in sealed plastic[3] wrappers.

2. I've never personally seen it in Japan or South Korea, but I'm sure it exists.

>99.5% uptime is good enough for nearly all businesses.

I don't know what your business is, but as a presales engineer in the ecommerce field, if our SLA was 99.5% we wouldn't even make it past the first round of vendor selection.
It is a startup, not a space program. Backup can be done with simple ssh+rsync script. Patching is a weekly weekend cron script+reboot. Some heartbeat monitoring... If it goes down for a few hours, not a biggie.

For "throw it all in a PaaS" you need dedicated person, monitoring, billing etc... It is more expensive, not simpler. Cloud provider may also terminate your accounts, change settings etc...
Honestly I'm starting to think HN itself is one area.

The fact that we're less than 24hrs from the events that just happened. Where the banking system was just put at risk by the actions of VC (including many prominent in this community) and that it's *not* the top post on this site is a very clear red flag. Really a "tiny c compiler" is whats most pressing right now?

As well the fact that any post I've seen from made this morning critical of the actions people in the community took over this weekend have all been flagged off the front page is another clear red flag.

I won't link it here, but I feel like that Stratechery article is must read at this point and clearly captures a big part of the problem.

This currently has made it up to #4 - I'm willing to be admit if I'm proven wrong. But let's see how long this one lasts.

----

Edit: and no more than 3 mins later after I posted the above and this this reaching the top of HN it was immediately dropped down to ranking #88. In the span of 3 mins.

You want to know what group think there is. *That* right there is the group think you should be worried about. People aren't even comfortable with being criticized about what happened this weekend.

Late day SLR makers, full-frame that is, was basically a duopoly between Nikon and Canon. As was early DSLRs, so you had some more brands then. If anything with mirrorless there seem to be more camera makers around than before, and being on par with each other. As opposed to SLRs or the early DSLR market were it was basically just Canon and Nikon.
> The funny thing is, if you are using K8s, you might as well setup your own servers

Running k8s on bare metal is incredibly annoying and brittle. Upgrading your clusters is a constant firefighting experience, and because k8s doesn't have something like an LTS version [1], you have to keep upgrading ALL THE DAMN TIME, which often enough means you have to upgrade not just the clusters but also your resource definitions (e.g. ingressClass), or mess around neck-deep in the bowels of MetalLB because it managed to shart all over its configuration yet again.

In contrast, EKS is relatively painless.

A bit weird, but I would support a local style guide that limits initialization style choices to parens for calling non-initializer-list constructors and braces for everything else — for simplicity, consistency, less confusion with assignment, and that odd case where it would actually catch an error (unindended narrowing conversion).

>I know the answer is that they are leveraging a fee across firms

Moral hazard achieved as a precedent has been set. I suspect billions, if not trillions, of dollars are rotating positioning to game this liability displacing outcome.

We will find out who gamed it best and what strategies they used in the coming months/years.
Absolutely agree.

AWS is pretty much a line of credit, unlimited credit actually.

When you open a credit card you are usually given a limit, say 10K.

If there is a (pretty obvious) suspicious activity on your account it gets disabled, the bank just won't let your card be used indefinitely to buy yachts and planes.

And when you contact the bank they won't ask you to go find the bad guys and stop them from using your card before they can help you.

That would make absolutely no sense but that's exactly what AWS did in our case.
