> The US Government has never defaulted on its debt under the current (~75 year old) global financial system.

> It HAS defaulted when transitioning off the gold/silver standard, when the world moved off Breton Woods, and during the Civil War.

If moving off of Breton Woods was a default, then your first statement is wrong, and the US hasn't defaulted on its debt in 50 years:

Perhaps history shows that "literally bring[ing] an end to the current global financial system" is not as uncommon as people expect.

Our politics is so dysfunctional. We waste tremendous amounts of time making the same arguments over and over and over, like somehow this time will be different. I assume both sides want it to continue, though I don't really understand the motivations from the left. The right is super easy to understand, it's a huge win for them every time.

>with Gen Z choosing to drink/socialise at home

Not just Gen Z. Why should I go to a bar and pay almost double a bottle what it costs me for a decent beer when I and a friend can pick up a twelve pack for what it would cost us to have two beers apiece elsewhere? Why should I pay outrageous prices for a steak when between the two of us we can smoke a brisket and have enough to share with others or leftovers for another meal? And doing so I know I can get excellent service from someone happy to be there?

People forget that these are hospitality industries. They're all about service. You should be able to go there and feel happy you came. Instead most of these places make you feel like a bother and then despite a decent tip on the table you still get hit up for more money at the register.

I try to be polite, friendly and tip well. I expect decent service when I go out and increasingly do not get it. So why should I go out when for a bit more effort I and my friends can do it ourselves and share for either less or the same cost, but a better experience?
It feels like discovering the cute achievements of another species, except that it was us. Makes me wonder if the species we are now is an “evolved” version of our ancestors.

Those are two of the reasons I use Android.

- Syncthing is available in the Play Store. If it wasn't, I could use F-Droid or simply download the app from Github.

- It works in the background and it has access to my folders. I can take a picture and few seconds later it's on my PC without having to change or move anything.

Not saying that iOS is bad, but I felt tied when I had to use it. It's not for me.
I purchased two brand new iPhone SE's for $100 each around black Friday from Straight Talk. Required one month of prepaid service and then they were unlocked, I used them down in South America.

The iPhone SE is better than any comparable Android phone and will receive updates for another 5 years.

So "You can't find a cheap new iPhone" is not true. If you're willing to take 1 extra step and get a month of prepaid service you can get a cheap iPhone.

This is one of the small things that GPT has pushed me to do. I'm an experienced programmer and grew up playing video games, but I am not a game developer. I've dabbled over the years but can't build anything outside of a tutorial.

The other day, using GPT I went through and made a Pixel Dungeon clone using Phaser (JavaScript game engine). It was such a delight. Together we got the game to a working state before I started to change some of the fundamental design, and then GPT started hallucinating pretty badly. When that happened, I stopped for the night, and then just started new focused conversations to add or change a feature, putting in the relevant code. It's turn-based, with simple AI, enemy monsters, fog of war, line of sight, and a victory/losing condition.

Being able to build this in a couple of days is an absolute game-changer, pun intended. I can only imagine the riches of experiences we will have as people are unblocked on skills and can pursue an idea.

I really like "Julia, the programming language" and had a great experience using it on the few occasions, where it made sense. But whenever a colleague asks me, if I can recommend it, I have to say "no".
The crux is, that its "just-ahead-of-time" compiler disqualifies it for a lot of use cases: I actually would prefer it over Python for small scripts, but the compilation overhead is too long.
On the other hand I would use it over C++ for some applications, when it could easily produce portable binaries.

With the steady progress in improving precompilation, I'm optimistic to use it more often in the future, though.
Agree, too many people are buying into the 'clean military' myth
He wasn't.
I don't know, it seems to me that recently in I/O, discussions have primarily focused on mature core products, indicating a shift towards iteration rather than invention. I would say the conference definitely showcases less "new stuff" or "new stuff" of smaller scope. Both I/O and Google now seem to prioritize safe, low-risk technologies from a business standpoint. And that just doesn't fill up an entire conference without some business speak padding.

To my mind, the turning point towards this new, less fun and more corporate Google and I/O was around 2013. I think that's when they started thinking about shaping the company into Alphabet with Google as a subsidiary as well. Famously they removed "don't be evil" as the motto and expanded into hardware a lot soon after 2013, too. It was a time of wholistic change at Google.

No better alternative for the Chinese. US Treasuries are the worlds most liquid and deep markets for money at the nation-state scale. Euro's are still in America's sphere of influence. Holding Yuan just destroys their export economy.

Japanese depend on America for security so they do it as a sort of quid pro quo.

I do agree though: pensioners (i.e. US public) will suffer first. International treasury defaults would threaten US hegemony.

This sounds to me like you have no idea how to properly integrate LLMs into your workflow. Just because they’re not useful for changing large code bases doesn’t mean they can’t be valuable. A few examples of things I’ve used LLMs for:

I relate heavily to the spirit of your comments. Wouldn't we all be better off if we lived in a society that is built on trust and honesty.

However, I think you're being a little naive if you think the days of "yesteryear" were somehow different in man's capacity and willingness to do what he needs to do to survive.

I mean in every facet of life we're basically awash in never before seen capacity to benefit from dishonesty.

it isn't inherent to the discipline of technology itself anymore.

These comments in particular read to me as something you want to be true. Who doesn't want their profession to be the noble, honest one and other professions to be the dishonest ones.

The reality is that humans have not fundamentally changed in hundreds of thousands of years. If we're doing it today, you can bet we were doing it yesterday and that we'll be doing it tomorrow.
Yeah, I don’t get it, I used to be an android user since the first Galaxy S up until the Galaxy S7, I’m really sensitive to slow devices, so as soon as my androids got a little slow (usually after a big update) I switched to the new shiny one. Then I got tired of buying flashy and expensive phones that lasted 2.5 years so I give the iPhone X a try. It’s 2023 and I still use the same phone I still get updates and what’s more important to me those updates haven’t slowed my phone a bit. It still feels the same. I’m not coming back as long as Apple keeps my old phones fast.
It's interesting that you think the promotion of an engineer would have any effect on the CEOs pay. Someone was going to be promoted anyway, the CEO couldn't care less about who. The problem here is that it should have been supposedly someone else who actually earned it.

This is gonna be a weak comment because I can't find references, but whatever.

I remember listening to a podcast recently that compared boys and girls in school. The takeaway was that girls generally try to do all of the work, whereas boys were far more likely to take short cuts to success. And this was the reason why boys were doing better in university and afterwards. The conclusion of the podcast was that we should be encouraging girls to try to take the same shortcuts as boys. It's a learned skill to know exactly what needs to be done to get what you want.

Maybe that's what's going on here. Rules, whether we like it or not, can be broken.

I'd probably hire someone based on c) but not because they were promoted, but rather because their strategy shows they know how to solve real life problems creatively rather than have a bunch of test answers memorized, and because as pointed out at the end of the article, the person couldn't just mindlessly copy/paste, they had to understand the question find a relevant answer, digest it, understand both the question and the answer, and respond. That's more or less how many things work in real life (otherwise we can all stop going to StackOverflow now).
I live in North America and I have no desire to move back to Brazil. I've toyed with the idea of going there once a year and spend 3 months working remotely but the reality is that, at least in my hometown, the quality of life is much worse except for food. I have a really good time in the first few weeks but then issues like pollution, traffic and general culture of Brazilians starts to get me by week 4. Maybe Brazil's south is different, I've heard good things.

Cost of living where I a, in NA is def higher but I also know that my kids will get a better education overall. In fact, you have to pay a fortune in tuition fees for your kids to have a similar education to public schools here in NA.

I am not sure what is your situation but if you have more than 1 child, things start to get dicey cost-wise. I don't think there is a lot of disposable income to go around, and that's for a relative low cost of living city in Brazil like Recife. I guess if you are childless things would be different and I can see the fun times outweighing the rest. But for me it is a solid "no way".

You couldn’t figure out it was singular after seeing “an academic and a writer” in reference to a single name? This doesn’t seem confusing at all.

Granted, I’ve seen some sentences that are more ambiguous. But most of the time, context makes it plainly obvious, as it does here. The benefit is that by using “they”, the writer is making fewer guesses or assumptions. So it’s a trade off - more ambiguity, fewer mistakes. I think it’s a win overall.

Ask HN: Folks who use Atlantis for Terraform Self Service – what pains you?
We are building an Open Source GitOps tool for Terraform (https://github.com/diggerhq/digger) and are looking for what’s missing. We also read & asked around. We found the following pain points already, curious for more:

1. In Atlantis,anyone who can run a plan, can exfiltrate your root credentials(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9KvPe09f5A). This was talked about by others (https://alex.kaskaso.li/post/terraform-plan-rce) and was highlighted at the Defcon 2021 conference(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ODhxYY9-9U). (CloudPosse)

2. “Atlantis shows plan output, if it's too long it splits it to different comments in the PR which is not horrible, just need to get used to it.” (User feedback)

3. Anyone that stumbles upon your Atlantis instance can disable apply commands, i.e. stopping production infrastructure changes. This isn’t obvious at all, and it would be a real head scratcher to work out why Atlantis suddenly stopped working! (Loveholidays blog - https://tech.loveholidays.com/enforcing-best-practice-on-self-serve-infrastructure-with-terraform-atlantis-and-policy-as-code-911f4f8c3e00)

4. “Atlantis does not have Drift Detection.” (Multiple users)

5. “The OPA support in atlantis is very basic.” (Multiple users)

As CloudPosse themselves explain (https://cloudposse.com/faqs/why-do-you-recommend-spacelift/) - “Atlantis was the first project to define a GitOps workflow for Terraform, but it's been left in the dust compared to newer alternatives.” The problem though is that none of the newer alternatives are Open Source, and this is what we want to change. Would be super grateful for any thoughts/insights and pain points you have faced.

I spend most of my time in the JavaScript ecosystem, but I've worked with Go and Rails and have been working with Django recently and my take is that this seems to be true for most other languages/frameworks.

There are plenty of valid criticisms of React/etc, but the one thing they got really really right was making "templates" be normal functions that return a data structure representing the HTML. Logic is way less awkward, no global variables spanning partials in different files and it's impossible to write incorrectly nested markup. I really wish backend-only frameworks would steal that idea.

Google now has a separate conference for Cloud ("Next") and even for Android there are separate conferences (like "Dev Summit" or "Bootcamp"). These dilute the I/O's excitement.

But this phenomenon exemplifies the incoherent nature of Google's dev story.
