App haven't crashed so far, so, I'd say it's doing fine!

I was pretty clear when I sold the app that it needed lots of improvements, and that's why I didn't listed it for more (x2.5 total revenues), the buyer know that

And no, I never wondered why software today is terrible, I'm not a dev, and I'll never be, I'm just a guy who learned to code.

But it's good, it means there is a market for people who like "taking care to make it good and correct", and I'll never be able to compete there. Let customers choose :)

It must make a difference otherwise they'd provide the breakdown when asked.

I suspect most consumers don't know how much the appliance should cost, it is a complex piece of machinery. But the labor part is easier to reason about.

So seeing $12k all in to install a heat pump might seem reasonable, people will shrug and say heatpumps must be expensive, but if they see that's $5k for the heat pump and $7k for the labor then it doesn't seem so reasonable.

And there are alternatives. You can buy comparable units from other manufacturers directly and shop for labor only (harder to find but not impossible). And there are sealed DIY units you can install yourself.
I think it's a safe assumption that holding a camera contributed to this phenomenon.

As long as your accounts are under the limits, there's no need to re-balance on outflow, just ensure you remain under the insurance limits at inflow
I've been curious about the hand problem.

It seems like it’s caused by the massive number of permutations possible with hands: all the joints, combined with all the angles at which they can be seen.

I’ve wondered if this could be solved by creating a massive permutation of hand images using rigged 3D hand models (using, for example, Blender, or coupling with Unreal), and programmatically putting them in all possible combinations and angles possible from the rigging and then rendering millions of images of these combinations.

Then the image models could learn from that artificially created dataset.

Anyone with actual knowledge know how people are trying to tackle this?
Good timing - since they get the clicks for this article and then all the clicks for another article about how it's fixed in a few weeks.
The answer to this, assuming the breakdown was actually honest, is exactly why they don't typically provide a breakdown. You would see an hourly labor rate that would make a lawyer blush. There's just something unpalatable to most people about seeing a $200-300+/hr labor rate, especially considering that the average person paying that rate probably make closer to $20-40/hr.
I'll stick to natural gas.
Why does the members be lazily init:ed?
Lehman employees were also angry with their final CEO, Dick Fuld. At one point there was a now-debunked rumor that he got punched in the face at the company gym a few days after that bankruptcy.

Dick was a dick even for a big swinging dick on Wall Street and he spurned several last minute lifelines, so, at the time, people in the industry universally approved.

A fast, dramatic demise of a massive company leaves scars. Almost 15 years on, former Lehman lifers are still salty about what happened. Perceived mismanagement ("They squandered it!") and regulatory failure ("They bailed out our competitors but not us!").

The former are similar to the feelings of older engineers who worked at IBM, Intel, Palm, Yahoo, Nokia, etc during their heyday.

So I did a lot of ML work in grad school and have also built 4 iOS apps and two web apps. I can tell you building statistical models is not a very interesting grind, it’s mostly cleaning data and fiddling parameters. It’s also unlikely anyone would hire non-stat/math degreed person to do that stuff. On the other hand you’re prob goood at turning models into a. Usable product. Here’s a recent library to do that in NODE

Depends on how the deposit flows go. Prudent people will move their money to the big SIBs and that flow could be enough to force another smaller bank to have to sell underwater bonds to cover cash needs and then we get to do this all over again. It could end up being a vicious cycle even with this first bank's depositors were bailed out. Depends how the unrealized losses are distributed to which i have no visibility so will have to wait and see.
I think the difference is in who makes the decision about how and when to set limits. Insurance companies' purpose is to maximize profits. A public owned service might be willing to sacrifice some costs for better overall health outcomes.

Hey, that's me! We wound up getting a pellet stove, super cheap to operate and very efficient so far, but I'd also be open to a heat pump at the right price range. We're some of the few with high quality Internet.
Lots of my neighbors have wood burning stoves or pellet burners, because they're so cheap to operate compared to the next possibility, which is propane, a very expensive fossil fuel.

Pellets being renewable is great, but if the heat pump does just as well, or at least assists, they might get lots of rural bites. I'm excited to see where this goes.

I launched more than 30 projects, some successful, other not, and I can tell you, when you're starting out, the logo does not matter at all. The name and domain either.

Once you have some validation, sure! But before that, bothering with a designer-tier logo is a waste of time & money. The app is aimed at small indie makers who don't have time/budget for a designer, but don't want a generic vector from flaticons and others :)
I definitely appreciate the wish to treat people charitably!

In terms of the site guidelines, "You're missing the point" is kind of a swipe and so should probably be dropped; "willfully" should definitely have been dropped because it's making a claim about negative intent that one can't actually know and such claims always land as an attack on the other person; and the last sentence was snarky and should have been dropped.

If one makes a habit of editing such things out of one's comments, one's substantive point will come to the fore more clearly, which benefits everyone. But it's not always easy in the moment!

Scott Wlaschin's "F# For Fun and Profit" website is a great resource for strongly-typed (yes) data modeling with sum types as a fundamental tool.

By the third entry in the linked series, we've motivated the use of a sum type with three variants in the example domain model.
It would be yellow journalism if there wasn't a bank run and there wasn't forced liquidations of underwater assets. It is completely germaine to consider how these unrealized losses impact the financial system.
To some extend, but you’d probably be more or less ok from a financial perspective in the Netherlands.
Well that's obviously not true given all the successful apps written in languages that don't support sum types.
I try not to hate on projects publicly, because I know a lot of devs smarter than me pour their sweat and tears into these things. But imagine releasing a new language in 2014 and fucking up strings.

but it hasn't been burnt down yet.

A better analogy is that of a tree. You expect your planted tree (sapling) to be fully grown by 10 yrs time, and right now it's a sapling.

Unfortunately, more recently planted saplings are growing up faster, and thus, result in more wood (presumably it's grown for wood) earlier than your sapling planted a few yrs ago.

Therefore, a sapling from a few yrs ago is not worth as much future wood _right now_. But if you waited for the sapling to finish growing, you'd get back the amount of wood you originally expected.

but if you chopped the sapling down today for the wood, you'd get far less.
But it isn't because the full value of the bonds will be received at maturity, so all they have to do is avoid a bank run for 8 or so years.
https://archive.today/6A7zI
> Current market value of assets may be below what was paid for them, but that doesn't matter unless the owner was depending on liquidating them at par value at any time.

That is simply not true. The current value is the mark-to-market value, possibly plus half the spread depending on your perspective. The net present value is roughly the same number, because it’s the future value discounted by the discount/risk-free rate, and any credible estimate of the risk free rate has increased substantially.

This may not be a liquidity problem because, if those assets don’t need to be liquidated, then they don’t need to be liquidated. And it may or may not be a solvency problem, because the banks in question may not need that money before maturity, and even if their portfolio currently has negative value, they may make it up with other investments before maturity. But yes, that money really is lost.

Before you say “but the money will all be there at maturity”, keep in mind that, if you project the banks’ balance sheets out 30 years, the value, in 2053 dollars, of those long term bonds may be unchanged, but the cost of the liabilities (deposits) that offset them has gone way up.

edit: it is possible and maybe even likely that some of these banks hedged this risk. In that case they may have a loss from the interest rate exposure and an offsetting gain from the hedge.
What's wrong with CNN?
Emacs definitely has those, in the same way that VSCode has them, ie via extensions. Emacs has LSP builtin now I believe, so these things are easier to setup
Please explain how a promise to a value is different from a star certificate NFT? With the star system you can encode the position in the sky at a certain date in the block chain itself. The date of discovery (assuming this is for new star discoveries only) can act as a verifier when determining who discovered this first.
How is it a real loss?

Bonds have terms. If the bank sits on the bond until its term of maturity it gets a certain amount of money.

Let's say the bond at maturity is worth X. The bank says the bond is worth Y. The market says the bond is worth Z.

If Y > Z, that's only a problem if you sell. There is no loss - realized or unrealized - if you hold to maturity unless Y > X. However, how could this ever be the case? No one would pay more than X, so the bank could never claim the market value was higher.
Thanks for the information.

One more question- what about commercial spaces where they will have a door open and be flooding the store with ice cold air. It sure feels like more than a 20 degree difference.

And since you bought that tree by borrowing money at a variable and now higher rate, you need more wood to break even.
People who pay for legal streaming of music and video are subsidizing the subversion of free speech and privacy on the Internet. The providers use part of their income to lobby politicians for more invasive monitoring of everyone's activities online (so it's easier to catch "pirates") and also fight against any means of preserving one's privacy online.

All politicians who suggest to ban encryption online (to protect the children) are sponsored by the music and film industry.

All VPN provides that don't keep logs are stopped from accepting payment for their service through credit/debit cards and PayPal (because streaming providers can't track "pirates" if there are no logs, so they go to the banks and ask the VPN provider to be banned from accepting bank cards).
a closed-loop refrigerant system that uses water lines to the indoor coil/air handler

Sounds like an air to water monoblock heat pump. Common in Europe. But you can only get the water up to about 50C efficiently. Not as good as refrigerant. So you need a large radiator to get the heat out into the room. Using wet underfloor heating as a giant emmitter works well. But otherwise it makes them tricky.

Some people are trying for minisplits with propane in the lines which is not a greenhouse gas so they hope anyone will be able to install it without a licence.
That's a separate question. Accuracy is good but it's not sufficient for a good HN comment.

(Actually, if you think about it, it isn't a necessary condition for a good HN comment either, since people need to be free to make mistakes. But I digress.)

Edit: People sometimes make the argument that because they're "pointing out facts", whatever else they say or do is ok. This is not true. Past explanations at https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu....
This is literally the opposite of how banks work. If they keep everyone's money they would never be able to make loans, let alone fractional reserve leveraged loans. They need you to keep your money in an account and not need to access it that often, or at least keep most of the money there.
That sounds like malfeasance to me!
I find it a mixture of frustrating and amusing the services (and software) that sell enterprise level packages but won't accept anything more than "free" from me either personally or my (tiny) business. I don't even need support - I just want to provide support. Just stick a Stripe charge form on there and say "best effort tech support" or even "no private support / forum only" and take my money damn it. :)

Both CNN and Fox News are equally shitty and have zero journalistic integrity.

Journalism is about going to the fucking place, narrating exactly what happened in the most unbiased way possible, talking to witnesses and then shutting the fuck up. No opinions.

If you do deliver an opinion, it stops being journalism.
What are they going to do for the frame of that? IIRC, we can't cast frames that big any more.
There are cheap optimists and cheap pessimists. Both amount to trolls and don’t particularly need to be fed or heeded.

> True, but it's entirely possible that such a use case will never materialize

Hard disagree. DAOs already exist, for example, and they are widely used even if the phenomenon is unknown to who doesnt have an interest in it or who is not technical enough. They are still way too technical for the average user, and even solely this use case could easily explode the moment everything is simplified and presented to the users with an intuitive and easy to use interface by a new service.

A lot also depends on the infrastructure improving - IPFS is great, for example. But its not as fast as a server, forcing you to store very little data using it. For the moment, any use case that will involve IPFS must fit into those narrow confines. Actually, same goes for most of crypto - Ethereum is a framework that you can literally, actually program on. But you wont be compiling any complex modern app code and serving it from there. One reason why the use cases still revolve around financial things, NFTs and other things that are built on the ledger functionality.

> but it won't be one resembling what anyone thinks

That's entirely possible.

And that totally depends. Anything that gets mass adoption ends up 'sexy'...
Probably because everyone's idea of Twitter has been proven wrong. Now that it's been bought and sold, nobody can lie to themselves and say it's a platform embracing free speech or encouraging diverse content. It's an ad pipeline decorated with celebrity content, and now the magic is gone. There are alternative microblogging platforms, but I doubt the masses will find them sexy post-Twitter-acquisition.
Hey hey! Been loving your forum so far. It's been great chatting with folks. Hoping for many years to come.
Of course Emacs has all of it. Through extensions, like VSCode or Atom or Sublime.

> through ... various extensions and plugins of wildly varying quality

Most Emacs plugins that I've seen are higher quality than most professional codebases I've seen.

> through increasingly arcane config files

Things are getting better not worse, so they are _decreasingly_ arcane config files. And Doom Emacs or Spacemacs make this dead simple to setup. This is no longer a valid issue.

What threat? Are they going to storm DC?

If the threat is "they will be more powerful than the US within like 100 miles of their borders", I can understand concern on the part of Taiwan specifically but it's a little greedy for the US to need every single inch of the oceans..

NvChad v2.0 Has Released
NvChad v2.0 has released.

Whats new?

- Replacing packer.nvim with lazy.nvim, It has helped us removing our own functions that provided different syntax for managing plugins, Our LOC has decreased! NvChad has the simplest codebase out of all neovim distros there, around 1.3k LOC and 60% of it is just plugin config tables! We dont rely on external themes for UI stuff like theming, statusline, bufferline, dashboard etc is done by our own lightweight UI plugins.

- Removed alpha-nvim and wrote my own lightweight dashboard module ( NvDash )

- Added 3 more statusline themes in our UI plugin.

- Ported 13 new themes to base46.

- Now using base46 only to generate compiled highlights, we can now auto-reload some parts of our UI

- Added a cheatsheet module ( NvCheatsheet ) that shows list of default + user mappings in a prettily formatted window , It has 2 layouts : grid and simple, the grid layout is highly inspired by the CSS masonry layout.And The cheatsheet is auto-generated & responsive.

- User configuration options will now have auto-completions. Huge thanks to @Lucario387

- Added some cmp styles : flat_light, flat_dark, atom, atom_colored
