There's a bunch of negatives I found. I'll gloss over them here.

- New libraries can't just be deployed to the OS, they must be compiled into the project.

- A check for thing==nil doesn't always work for all types of nil. Yes nil does not always equal nil.

- Panics aren't necessarily a bug. They could be a feature (?). Crashes are always a bug in C.

- Garbage collection is mandatory in go. C people are used to managing memory themselves like going for a walk. It's kinda natural.

- GC causes hard to debug performance issues. This was true in Java. And it's true in Golang.

- Golang channel primitives has bugs of their own with deadlocks and other interesting behaviors, whereas a lot of the threading issues in C are pretty well understood.
Clearly it's not about right. If supply and demand stay the same, prices should stay the same apart from inflation.

They are getting their lunch eaten by Microsoft which allows remote. Azure is killing gcloud, Office365 is dominating GSuite. Not to mention msft owning 49% of openAi. Google needs to fire their leadership since it’s strategy failures and not tactical errors.
Oh, most people want people to be able to work the way they work best. Many companies leadership are morally opposed to a remote work environment as they view it as a degradation of their direct power over people, a refutation of how they became successful, impinges on their preferred way of working, and diminishes the stage they can perform on. But this is an argument of passions. On the other hand, once the passions die, what you’re pointing out sets in - and it was setting in before the pandemic. Real estate is expensive, and if you can offload office space to the employee, you improve earning per share materially. In the end this is all that will matter. But it’ll take a while for the dinosaurs in charge to retire enough that enterprising directors of finance can pitch the board successful the end of mass corporate real estate holdings. Forward thinking companies will keep smaller offices and coop work spaces for those that truly feel a deep need to be in the office. The rest will require you to BYOO (bring your own office)

I can't find the original source, but a while ago I read a really compelling article (linked from here) which explained why centralization is inevitable. I think it's relevant here, because if centralization is inevitable then it's reasonable to treat crypto as interchangeable with the exchanges.

Essentially, the thesis was that a decentralized protocol can never evolve and adapt as quickly as a centralized platform, because the protocol has to reach consensus with all stakeholders before it can change. This leaves a gap between user expectations and the protocol's capabilities, which platforms are happy to fill. They extend the protocol with bespoke and proprietary features, these features draw users, and users come to depend on these extensions. Thus, lock in.

You can see this with email and Gmail, with the web and Facebook et al. NFTs had OpenSea, and crypto in general has the exchanges. You can't separate crypto from the exchanges because the existence of crypto necessarily implies exchanges.

FTX was headquartered in the Bahamas for a reason. The SEC doesn't have jurisdiction over the Bahamas. It also takes time to build a case, which is difficult when FTX exploded and then collapsed so quickly.

Yes. Super AI vs Super AI, attack will always beat defense eventually.
A lot of these should have been called out from a proper home inspection like the roof and HVAC age as well as mold and critters.

The quip about “renting doesn’t build equity” doesn’t hold up very well when a home eats thru savings. If you hit all the highest cost things, you can actually lose money if you sell in a short time period after.

When I was in between houses and renting I noticed a lot of stuff that was poorly maintained and it was a huge relief to just call maintenance. Ice maker broke? They swapped fridges. Stuff like that. People complain about rents going up but all the costs of maintenance have gone up as well. Roof needs replacement down to the wood sheathing? The cost of wood has been 4-10x at varying times over last few years.

There are 4 NYC neighborhoods with over 200,000 people [1].

So we can say Montana makes up five NYC neighborhoods (out of 55 neighborhoods total).

This is correct history, but not the point TaupeRanger was trying to make (I believe).

I think their assertion is that the release of AlphaGo has actually made human Go players worse at the game, contrasted with chess where most agree that the introduction of Superhuman chess engines has elevated the (human) state of play.

But I don't think there is actually much evidence for that. I'm sure the introduction of AlphaGo did take the wind out of some players sails, who thought of themselves as superior to our best computers, but for everyone else it seems to have elevated the overall level of play just the same as the chess engines have done.
This is something I am struggling with right now.

Yes there are books and YouTube but many times I encounter problems that I don’t even know how to describe. (ChatGPT been helpful here though)

What I would really like is a sort of walkthrough with a real person. Someone who can show you what various hard to describe pipes, wires, things, knobs, are. Also walk you through regular maintenance.

There is a concept of pool school for new pool owners. We did that and it was really helpful. So a same concept for the whole house.

Home inspectors are probably the most qualified for this. Our home inspector gave a quick overview of some stuff after inspection but we probably need multiple sessions to cover various things in detail.

> Why do so many of the comments here and journalists assert that crypto and exchanges are the same thing?

Exchanges are what make crpyto usable, to the extent it is.

> Doesn’t keeping coin in an exchange (as opposed to in a wallet, locally) sort of violate the ideology of crypto?

Maybe, so what? “Exchanges as a venue for, um, exchange” and “keeping coin in an exchange” aren’t the same thing (except to the extent that exchanges make it difficult to move coin off the exchange, which AFAIK usually isn’t an issue for crypto so much as it is sometimes is for fiat.)

> Wasn’t this shit invented to circumvent the banks?

That’s been part of the marketing, sure, and not just banks but the financial services industry more generally. But, as it turns out, you need a lot of those services for anything money-like to be usable, especially when its not the primary currency of the economy you are trying to operate in. A lot of the marketing of cryptocurrency is…not particularly realistic. (Of course, a lot of it is done by the people running the crypto-community versions of financial services, so…)

> “We have no option and no way to exist unless Reddit gives in to our demands.”

That's a strawman. The complaint isn't that Reddit is charging money for API usage, it's that the pricing is extremely expensive.

> But the reality is that Reddit literally gave them an option.

Charging an exorbitant fee that will most likely kill all third-party clients isn't really an option, but ok.

> It’s like the “we’ve tried nothing and are all out of ideas” meme.

This is a very inaccurate analogy, and it makes me think you are missing the point of the complaints entirely.

> There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Again, no one is demanding free API access.
Behold, reddits digg redesign moment.
1) The US isn’t the entire world, and crypto is a very global thing since it’s essentially borderless finance (outside of exchanges anyway)

2) Crypto cannot be killed due to its decentralized nature and every attempt makes it more clear how anti-fragile it is. You cut off one head in the US, two more will spring up in other countries.
Both Google and Facebook were in the process of building little company towns, mixed-ish residential/office zones, is my understanding. Both on pause indefinitely.

> How do I get some Bitcoin?

There are bitcoin-only exchanges, e.g. Bitaroo.
There are also P2P exchanges that don't hold user's funds, like LN2bot (this one is very handy because it supports Lightning, so fees are ridiculously low, and trades very fast for not being a SPOT exchange).

> I can't afford to mine it anymore.

Right, it's a professional industry now; hobbyists can still do it, but at a loss.

See the aforementioned exchanges above, in my first answer.

Crypto is also used to evade taxes. I'm not saying it's a good thing, but it's not as bad as dealing drugs or scamming people.

A rising tide floats all ships – if the best in the world becomes better, others can look at the best and learn from it. What difference does it make if the best player is an AI or a human? The better moves and strategies are still better moves and strategies.
Not at all. Hot glue is a thermoplastic which uses temperature to turn liquid and then solid again, which basically removes the need for VOCs at all. VOCs are solvents and are used to transition the liquid glue to a solid.

> I think at one point they were making it virtually impossible to replace components because they were serial locked.

That seems like an obvious reaction to the fact that criminals (once they were prevented by activation lock from selling stolen iPhones) started parting out stolen iPhones and selling the parts to repair shops.

I think a better approach would be for Apple to only block the replacement part if that part has a serial associated with an activation-locked phone, but I'm sure it's easier to just block everything except for the replacements shipped directly from Apple.
Former HVAC and controls guy here. If you are going to the trouble of putting in a PPS, why not measure and control the fan speed based off of static pressure inside the space? You could measure your static pressure at a point furthest from the fan or you have multiple static sensors and select/control based off the lowest reading.

The pressure only needs to be just slightly above ambient to keep the dirty ambient air out of the home. Providing unnecessary extra flow/pressure is doubly bad - one because your are spending extra energy to over-pressurize the space, two because your exchanging more outside air and thus the delta T between inside and outside.

Another consideration is that if your flow/pressure is too high, you'll have trouble trying to open/close exterior doors.

Just because to the best of our knowledge, Binance is fully solvent and can make all US depositors whole, doesn't mean that they won't declare bankruptcy imminently. That's a condition that could change at any time, as has been well demonstrated.

The page this post links to is for the prism launcher, a 3rd-party launcher that enables a lot of very useful features such as automatic mod installs. Crucially, it is distributed as a flatpak with sane default permissions, which means that pretty much all linux users are safe (turns out even the ones not using flatpak were safe because they borked their unit file but still).

People thought of sandboxing the stuff, but the people thinking of that and the people making the mods aren't the same people and the people making the mods would rather be able to do things outside a single API.
Ask HN: Rest Doesn't Help with Burnout
I think I might be suffering from burnout.

I experienced stress many times during my career. First in grad school, then at work. Every time after some rest my natural curiosity returned, I wanted to learn something new, and start over on a new project.

This time is different. Just before covid I moved to a country where I don't speak the language. The unexpected isolation during lockdowns was very tough on me. I got some bad rating during performance reviews and worked extra hard to recover (it's been over a year since this happened). I also had a drinking problem, which got much worse during covid, but I have been sober for a few months already.

All my interest in work is lost and it's not coming back despite almost 3 months of rest. I work onsite, but my team is remote, which makes it hard to develop any friendships at work.

Do you have any advice how to proceed in this situation? The main issue is that long rest is not helping. If it matters, I'm almost 40.

I really can’t understand this argument. Apple has the least planned obsolescence of any major manufacturer available.

The only upgradeable laptop you can buy is the Framework, which is more expensive than a baseline MBP. It also didn’t exist until a few years ago, so we don’t know if it has 10 years of longevity. What I do know is that my 2015 MBP still has hours of battery life even after being used daily for many years.

As far as software, 2017 MBPs can download Ventura, which will be supported until 2025, which seems like a long time to me.

I agree. I used to occasionally take my daughter into the office in Copenhagen when she was 5. The first time I thought I'd have to sacrifice some of my work time to make sure she was Ok and stop her getting underfoot / disrupting anyone else. Instead she got taken away by the design department to help make company videos.

When I worked for the same company in America - no way. I wouldn't have even tried.
Very telling.
that's fair, I was thinking of it more as an "easier alternative to Rust" than "is it any harder to learn than Go", which puts things in a very different frame :)
