>>What [...] are we supposed to do with "self-repaying" loans, really? [...] How the hell can I leverage my wealth, please??

I'm fond of the seemingly accurate sentiment that crypto is trying speedrun the history of finance (including spectacular failures). In this instance, a self-paying loan is a concept similar to a reverse mortgage, home equity loan, home equity line of credit[1], or 401K loan[2]. All are instances of paying back a loan originally borrowed against one's own money or value that has built up over time, and are financial products that exist in the US.

The difference here is that the type of self-paying loan described by the OP is one where the collateral is a digital asset instead of, say, your house or retirement fund. Nothing new under the sun, except perhaps the ability to do this programmatically.

As far as I understand, tech salaries are much smaller in the EU and the UK and there's way less venture capital. Also we don't seem to be leading in tech in any way compared to SV. I guess that is what he means.

(I live in the UK and can only dream about USA level salaries).
For me, the main question is where this complexity lives. To minimize the places where sharp knives need to be used, I would prefer to move this up into a language runtime and have the VM/engine underneath focus on implementing a simpler object model that has the mechanisms to pull off these tricks without resorting to unsafe tricks.
I love coffee, and 1 cup a day is all I've needed for years. Never have I had issues limiting my intake.

But I've noticed in spite of improving my dental habits, my gum health has remained pretty poor. I've wondered if it may have something to do with the acidity of my coffee (no sugar, since I drink it black), so as an experiment, I've tried switching to loose leaf black tea instead.

I've noticed I don't get nearly as jittery from a couple cups of black tea vs a cup of coffee. I also get sleepy as I should at normal times in the evening. Completely anecdotal, but at least to me it feels that the rise and fall of the caffeine boost I get is more gradual, without crashes or rougher withdrawals.

I do miss the flavor of coffee though; not crazy about the tannins in black tea. I may give matcha a try next.
>I don't think the general public knows (or cares) much about potency, actually.

Disagree. I think recreational cannabis users are well aware of potency. Here in Canada, all cannabis products have the THC/CBD content on the label, and our shops offer strengths across the spectrum, according to preferences.

Admittedly, some users will get "the strongest available", but the people I know have specific preferences. Having this information available to consumers is one of the best things about regulating the trade.

Jesus! I thought these navel gazing low effort language posts went out of favor in 2012.

I know all of these languages and Forth isn't foundational for anything we currently use, maybe the JVM because it has a stack if you really try and torture the definition. It is just a collection of languages so the author can look smart.

If they wanted to provide insight, they would demarcate how the semantics of computation are different from each of these languages. It doesn't even mention the power of Forth in being able to extend the language and runtime from within the language itself.

I'll see myself out.
In general, paying GH tends to be much cheaper than employing a team of SREs that'll keep your on-prem Git instance up and running 24/7 (esp. including things like backups, disaster recovery, and similar good practices necessary for any enterprise-ready SaaS).

Something tells me that if you can schedule upgrades "outside of business hours", your scale is small (because in a global company, it's always "business hours" somewhere), which makes the cost argument even more prominent.
SQL might be in its own category or not, but it shares a trait that languages in other categories ended up with: "I know, we'll make it kind of like writing English so that people who aren't experts can program!".

This is one of those things that seems to keep coming back - recently in the Ruby world with Cucumber.

> There's more to Colorado than "cities are liberal". The CO general assembly has big Dem majorities in the house and senate, along with a Dem Governor.

Sure, but the Dem majorities are exactly because the cities are liberal.

https://www.zipdatamaps.com/politics/state-level/districts/m...

https://www.zipdatamaps.com/politics/state-level/districts/m...

Outside of the cities, the state is almost as red as Wyoming.

Pennsylvania looks very similar to Colorado actually: https://www.zipdatamaps.com/politics/state-level/districts/m...

You raise an interesting point though. My guess for PA is that their population is spread out enough that you can create more credible districts in the rural areas because almost all the land is livable whereas Colorado sort of self-gerrymanders because despite its size there are decent chunks of the state that are unlivable (plus all the national parks, etc).

It's like that old xkcd comic about heat maps - a map of democratic voters is basically just population density heat map.

The interesting question isn't "why is Colorado blue?" - we know the answer, it's because of the cities. The real interesting question is "why did Colorado develop so many cities when no one else in the intermountain west did?"
What leads you to believe otherwise, given that this is extremely well-documented, and many of us lived through at least part of that era?

After running Next.js in production for a few years I never want to touch it again. I haven't used Vercel, but hosting on AWS I had to patch configurations in dirty ways just to get it to run reliably. I suspect they "locked" things like node config behind the abstraction of Next.js to drive users to their platform where issues are "magically" solved.

> Are you suggesting that all corporations actions are based on morality?

I believe the suggestion is that they certainly should be based in some moral system. Corporations are a convenient fiction we use to shield the actual humans from the effects of the actions they collectively take.
I'm aware of Prowse's claims, however, they are just that, claims, which weren't even made public until around 2009.

Paramount actually demonstrated its CTA accounting practices in court in 1990, such practices were found to be "unconscionable" by a judge, and the plaintiff Art Buchwald was permitted to proceed with a tort suit.

So while the practice itself obviously goes back a long way, Coming to America was the movie that revealed such practices to the general public, and even to Hollywood insiders -- thus, I'm sticking with my original statement.

> If we can't get our corporate behemoths to reinforce our country's views and ideals, we're no better than the CCP, who can and do get to do just that.

Precisely.

America's FAANG corporations have proven beyond a shadow of doubt that they cannot be trusted to conduct free and fair business on their own terms. Everyone is complicit, and Hacker News loves to fight tooth and nail to pretend like Apple isn't one of them. Go figure, though - Apple has been in the CCP's lap for decades, it should come as no surprise that they rely on China to be profitable. Now we all shift uncomfortably thinking about the iPhone in our pocket as a vehicle for human oppression and intersectional industrial cruelty.

And of course, the Clarion Call response to this point: "Just get an Android phone then!"

I have one. And frankly, it kinda sucks. It was manufactured in Vietnam, presumably with similarly low standards-of-living to China. It was designed to compete with an iPhone, and I'm worse off because of it. Everyone is worse off for it, and Apple still leads the market in hardware margins since they're just so close with China. Sorta seems like the US is propping up Apple because we think it's worth the tax dollars, but ignoring where those dollars and goodwill get spent.

Being gay myself, I avoid casting it in a "persecution mindset" light in the first place. Tim Cook's behavior is wrong and contradicts his shallow veneer of caring about people and standing up for human rights. He can wax sophistry about protecting the gays once he takes down the Foxconn suicide nets and gives the Chinese people the "human rights" he so adamantly provides to other countries.

> The material in question will get your channel flagged and demonetized on YouTube.

You are claiming that ALL books Republicans have banned contain material that... fails the YouTube TOS, and... this is a gotcha to you?

First of all, Republicans cried about Dr Seuss' publishing company pulling their own books, do you remember that? [0] They said this was "cancelling childhood" and other hilarious shit.

Then, now, they:

* defund libraries [1]

* burn books that the government deems contain "inappropriate things" (definitely not a fascist move) [2]

* try to make it illegal for teachers to teach about slavery being morally incorrect [3]

In that situation it would be reasonable to expect to be paid twice as much while also being able to devote half the working day to personal/open-source projects.
Why does it have to be a startup? You can buy a dumb EV for under $30K today from GM. And yeah, it does sell pretty well.

The vast, vast majority of EVs sold today are not forcing subscriptions of any kind on their customers. A couple minor carmakers are trying a new business model.
I am on the fence - love CA jobs, people and weather, but hate prop13 and the incestuous ruling political class that claims to be progressive/left but are just corporatist and protect their own above anything else (not that it's much different in many other states - they're just more overt about it).

The challenge is that the time to leave CA was at the beginning of the pandemic or earlier, and now housing prices / rent everywhere else have gone up way more than CA.
I'm a cloud proponent because it means not having to sit through hours of meetings to deploy a $5/mo virtual machine.

It also means some poor fuck at AWS gets woken up in the middle of the night instead of me when things go to shit.

It absolutely comes at a cost, and might not be the right fit for an organisation that's absolutely on top of it's hardware requirements and can afford to divert resources from new development work. For the rest of us it saves a lot of dev hours that would have otherwise been spent in pointless meetings or debating the best implementation of whatever half-baked stack has oozed it's way out of the organisation in an attempt to replicate what's handed to you with a cloud solution.
The “3 in 10” in the article refers to the rate of developing cannabis use disorder, not schizophrenia.
It looks like there are newer bulbs which are substantially better. Mine do 800 lumens @ 4000K which is fairly atrocious, even if I ran them at 4000K, which I would never do as it's horrible.

I suppose I have to consider replacing everything now...
The library that "fills in a bunch of functionality that is missing in the stdlib" is a dependency management antipattern. The index case is Google's Guava which made a change that broke HDFS somewhat around Guava 13, so for a long time (maybe still) anything that had to run in Hadoop was stuck with an obsolete Guava.

If a library gets as popular as Guava you have to worry about "diamond dependencies" where your dependencies require incompatible versions of the library.

Breaking up a library like that into smaller libraries that address particular functionality helps reduce the risk.
You are correct and I updated the article to reflect that. Thank you!
Man, that graphic could use some work: "...and their coffee equivalents". Is it missing the "coffee equivalents" part, or do I just need more coffee this morning? I was expecting "1 oz. of chocolate, or 24% of a cup of coffee". And the graphic is in multiple parts, which is only lightly hinted at with a low-contrast, non-functioning "continue".

That said, well, Betteridge's law of headlines[0] seems to come into play here: no, unless you're drinking 10 cups a day like the person in TFA. Is it time for you to quit?

One of the benefits, historically, to both languages is that they share a very large chunk of the language in common. It's therefore in their common interest to try and maintain that common subset wherever possible. The goal here (just to be clear, from my outside perspective) isn't to unify the languages, it's to ensure that stuff that's the same stays roughly the same. If the same code produces two different things, based on the language, that's unfortunate. Code that works in one but doesn't compile in the other is totally fine, of course.

Agreed, it's surprising to me that I've met many people who claim that edibles are terrible/terrifying. They often don't know how much they took and if they do it's usually way too much for the first time.

I suspect it's a combination of bad design (a single gummy being >=10mg) and the fact that most people just don't read and comprehend the labels.
Not really sure what this means. There certainly aren’t 4K assets included in Switch games, which run at max 1080p resolution normally.

I know many games do drop frame rate at 1080p docked vs the 720p built-in display… so is this just getting back up to 60fps while running in 1080p on a 4K monitor?

Hey HN! I'm Julie on the product team at Rockset (https://rockset.com/). We wanted to share the results of an open-source streaming ingest benchmark we ran on Rockset and Elasticsearch. We evaluated Rockset and Elasticsearch ingestion performance on throughput and data latency at the 95th and 99th percentile, given that both databases are used for production search and analytics applications that require predictable performance.

The blog (https://rockset.com/blog/benchmark-elasticsearch-rockset-str...) walks through the benchmark framework, configuration and results. We're looking to better support search and analytics on high-velocity streaming data and would welcome feedback/requirements that you have for your applications.

If Berkshire sold out of most of their bank holdings, that should tell you something.

Large banks are broadly fine for now (cough Credit Suisse cough), but there are a lot of small/midsize banks that are more vulnerable, enough to have some contagion effect. If more start failing, spooked depositors with more small/midsize banks start pulling their money out and move it to large banks - possibly collapsing more of the smaller ones.

And we haven't even started seeing bad commercial real estate loans hit banks. https://www.ft.com/content/da9f8230-2eb1-49c5-b63a-f1507936d...

Not GP - While I think your question is polite and otherwise undeserving of a downvote, I don’t think it’s a fair question. I don’t read GP as defending Meta, and I think there’s substantial problems that arise if pointing out good things equates to defending associated bad things. IMHO it’s the strict inverse of disallowing pointing out the bad things within otherwise good things (afaik, a main component of toxic positivity)

That's not the whole damn point. It's arguable half of it - the creation of new states is identical. It's just the destruction that is relegated from compile time to run time.
No, they won't. That is not rational thinking. You could probably afford one parking ticket per year, so do you go out and deliberately double park once a year?

Quick sanity check - Any time you see/hear "rich people will do X" or "rich people should do X", just replace "rich people" with "I" to see if it makes sense. Just because someone has more than you does not make them any better or worse of a person than you. Same goes for the contrary, just because someone has less than you...
Monitors are especially strange when I learned Java. I mean, why would you put a synchronization feature into every object? It's not necessary in the vast majority of the time.

> "People don’t understand that caffeine is an actual drug," says Bivens.

When I'm asked by doctors/nurses what medications I'm on, I'll say things things like "caffeine 200mg/day" and generally get met with blank stares like "do you expect me to care about this". It really is a societal blindspot.

I'm sure I'm more aware of it due to my pattern of quitting caffeine cold turkey and enduring the two or three weeks of withdrawal (lethargy, nausea, constipation, depressive thoughts). Gradually ramping down just doesn't seem to work for me (enough of the symptoms to still be debilitating, over an even longer time).

It most certainly is a drug. It seems most people want to shy away from that fact because "drugs are bad".
Yet they still don't have a way to disable the 2FA prompt offered in the Gmail app (called "Google prompt").

It's a shame that you can add hardware security keys to your Google account and all of that can be bypassed just by pressing "approve" in the Gmail app when you're trying to login.

The attack vector that I'm thinking of here is your phone being stolen while in public while unlocked, it doesn't even prompt for further biometrics when approving a login from the app.
This is why Linus uses email. It’s the Unix way — Git is just another tool. It doesn’t need to be a website, and an issue tracker, and a change proposal database, and version control software, and a social media website, and pull request tracker. It just needs to be a version control software with some decentralization.

Joe Armstrong talked about that in the past, and I can sort of see it if I squint, but at the end of the day, there are a lot of things in Erlang that are not processes, like most of your basic data types, so I'd just say Erlang is good at borrowing, like a lot of practical real world languages are, and in doing so, came up with a niche where it's pretty good. It takes things from the FP world, its syntax from Prolog, and definitely has message passing as an integral part of how you architect a system with it.
