if you bend a thick wire of nitinol (nickel titanium alloy, discovered on accident, aka shape memory alloy) quickly, it heats at the site of the bend and that is cool, but paper clips do the same thing.

once you've let the thick wire settle back to room temperature---here's the cool part---quickly force it straight again and it gets suddenly very cold at the site where the bend was.

nitinol is neat

I've thought about this or something similar (e.g. ArchiveBox).

It seems like 95-99% of the content you archive will be junk that you never look at again, but that 1-4% really might be worth it. Especially if it gets taken down.

What do you do for storage, though? I haven't invested in a NAS or personal storage over 1TB.

I think I understand now why some of these archive utilities offer you the option to upload to the internet archive in addition to storing locally. You can build up a local cache and then start removing the oldest page snapshots (but keep the link trail) once you start to run out of space.
In Sydney. We’re renting a house for 35% of the mortgage price. And the rental is pretty crazy, so mortgage is ludicrous. Some places are just irrational.
I've never heard of home maintenance budgets being more than, say, 10% of the cost of a mortgage, and usually you're advised to budget only a few percent. Obviously there are outliers like when you buy a run-down old ruin and have to do a complete period-correct refurbishment, but hopefully people know what they're getting into in those rare cases.
No, the water inside the meat is still not pressurised, so it limits the temperature to 100 degrees Celsius.

They are seasonal and picked wild so even in Sweden where the country is full of these berries, they are available fresh to buy for about a month per year.

You must be a much better investor than I am. On property I have to date never lost a dime, and made pretty good money every time I bought something and held on to it for at least five years. But on other investments the returns have been all over the place, from tripling my money to losing it all and everything in between.

If you don't have a home that you own yet and your only options are mortgage or renting I'd pick the mortgage any time, but I'd always make sure to buy in a market that is active.
Who needs truth when just an accusation does the job?
Mostly to minority housebuyers who had very few other choices as, in reality, they didn't qualify for a loan.

You had a large number of predatory banks with a big helping of fraud filling out bogus paperwork and shoving junk loans into the system. The homebuyers lost their money, their house, and their credit. The economy almost collapsed. A tiny number of bank loan officers at the bottom got convicted as scapegoats.

And all the bank fat cats got bailed out.

The fact that Obama didn't simply nationalize every single failing megabank was possibly his biggest failure as President.

I don't know what on earth you're talking about.

I'm talking about how billionaires like Bob Iger are essentially trying to squeeze "labor" to extract more profits, which is what Wall Street did to the newspapers, to radio, to television, the music industry...

We're getting ever crappier products in nearly every consumer category, because short term profits for shareholders are prioritized over the long term viability of the firm. Wall Street likes to shred firms for "value" and move on.

I want healthy capitalism, not scorched earth financialism.
On buildings that you buy that are not fixer-uppers the average maintenance cost should not be more than 2% or so of the value of the home per year. There was a time that interest rates were lower than that but historically that's an aberration and some of those costs you'd have as a renter anyway, after all not all maintenance costs are borne by the owner, some are taken on by the tenant.
Does anyone know why Bun (without --smol) sometimes uses much more memory than Node? Is this due to not being v1 yet?

> The richest people and biggest corporations own such an unimaginably large amount of wealth that taxing them would fix just about anything.

They don't have wealth though, they have capital or money but not wealth. Wealth is actual goods and services, money is an abstract representation of the ability to obtain these things. As the pandemic proved it doesn't matter how much money you have, if there just isn't stuff to spend it on.

To quote Douglas Adams "Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy."

Any real solution needs to focus on wealth creation, and not on moving around small green pieces of paper. As long as people's standard of living is increasing they really care a lot less about money and income inequality, people only start caring about that when they realize things are getting worse.
Funny I made SpinGPT…
A lot has changed since 2018, especially related to remote work, which negates several of the points of this article related to local labor markets and lack of mobility at least for some white collar jobs.

If you only read Hacker News you might think WfH is dead, and it might be for FAANG-ish companies, but in my industry it is still as remote-centric as it has been since 2020. I see people hired every day and we don't even have a sales office in that entire state.

So yeah, having a locked-in 2.75% 30 year mortgage is going to encourage you to stay put, but that's probably a net positive thing for society because you are going to be more invested in the the success of the school system, and the local library, and getting to know your neighbors.

And if you're on the wrong side of the interest rates right now or need to move, maybe you have to rent for awhile or buy a more affordable house than you expected. That's nothing new and eventually things will revert and you'll be the next low interest 30 year mortgage homeowner. The banks will continue to win.

I've run the numbers for SF and even before interest rates went up, the per month carry costs of owning (mortgage, insurance, property taxes, maintenance, etc) are 50-100% higher than renting.

If you include historic price appreciation over certain periods, you can end up ahead owning, but nothing guarantees that same price appreciation going forward.
I don't get why it's toxic.

They are designed in that manner to make them money.

Moreover, I also don't understand why people complain, you did not had money, so you asked banks for some, they gave it to you and are charging the interest.

I also don't understand the argument of students loan, you did not had any money to study, they gave it to you, and they charge some interest.

Over the years you might pay twice the amount you borrowed, but that's how interest work.

Your entire framing of the world is engineered by pessimistic news articles which only tell a small part of the story.

Is loss of biodiversity bad? Maybe. Will we have resurrected most extinct species using jurassic park DNA within the next 500 years? I dunno but if that happened, it would make the current loss of biodiversity into more of a blip than an apocalyptic thing.

The science and technology enterprise is economically motivated. It is pretty good at creating value out of fewer and fewer resources. It is not good at making godlike insights into the far future about the late stage interactions between itself and the physical world. Any definite predictions provided to you are more likely driven by short-term incentives of some political figures.

There is nothing indicating massive wars are coming due to climate change, most of the world is lifting out of poverty not slipping back into it. If the world does heat by 5-10 degrees, we should be focused on making sure indians and africans have enough economic resources to afford air conditioning like we do in rich countries.
Have you ever heard of poorer countries? Do you think that over the next decades they'll pursue basic life luxuries such as hospitals, brick and concrete houses, steel reinforced cities, asphalt roads, a car per family? It helps to look at world's energy production and consumption breakdowns.

Systemic solutions are also needed. And switching to public transport or flying less doesn't happen without them, nowhere in my comment did I say that.

My point is about the fact that we already know and have most of the solutions: less consumption, less emissions, less destruction of our environment. Yet, most people with decision power (be it as individuals, as heads of governments or companies) refuse to accept and follow them. Instead, many prefer to propose global-scale, geo-modifications whose results are unknown and potentially more dangerous.
Yeah you can use propane, isobutane, ammonia, or CO2. The first two are flammable, the second is both. And CO2 requires higher pressure.

They aren't as nice from a safety or operations standpoint but ain't the end of the world really. Although they are now way cheaper than fluorocarbons.

It's such a weak argument when defenders of the FBI and democrat corruption cite the failure of its victims to prove that corruption in court (usually in front of a DC jury that voted 92% democrat). Like, that's the point. One side of the political apparatus weaponized the justice system against the other, then covered it up, and obscured any investigation into it through equally corrupt lawfare and political deflection.

I see the same argument attacking the credibility of the whistleblower who was a business partner of Hunter Biden when they received money from the Chinese energy company CEFC - "oh your whistleblower was indicted by the DOJ so he has no credibility" - well, the accusation begs the question that the Republicans are complaining about in the first place, namely why wasn't Hunter Biden similarly indicted for the same FARA violations as his business partner who's blowing the whistle on his lack of indictment? It's flawed logic. You can't cover up your crimes by arresting the criminal you did the crimes with and then saying he's got no credibility because he's a criminal.
MiniZinc is high-level modeling language, before using it I'd suggest taking course https://www.coursera.org/learn/discrete-optimization where you could use/create different solvers.

Only after it makes sense to take https://www.coursera.org/learn/basic-modeling and https://www.coursera.org/learn/advanced-modeling courses.

If you want a quick start read really good tutorial on official website https://www.minizinc.org/doc-2.7.2/en/part_2_tutorial.html and play with examples at online playground https://play.disopt.com/ or locally installing MiniZincIDE.
Usury for one. Laws have been on the books since the 7th century BCE because it’s such a repugnant act.
I had to spend some time actually learn groovy in order to understand what is happening and have some kinds of love-hate relationship with it. One one hand it shows that java is a bit too verbose and could have had the same functionality with less hassle. One the other hand they took too far trying to look like a declarative language which creates a lot of confusion.
But the worst part is that there is no easy way to debug.
Not the same, but I once worked in a place that had reasonably accurate production data generated manually on paper, and required this data copied into Excel workbooks which generated reports that were used at weekly executive planning meetings. The various workbooks were to be created by copy-pasting the newest existing workbook of each type, entering the data, and copy-pasting some other data into the workbooks.

None of these had any access controls, not even for which cells were editable. When I queried about the obviously misaligned pastes and no-content graphs rendering the reports useless, a couple people responded like "Yeah, we know the reports are crap. They want them anyway.".

This was at a company that "was continuously growing at ~3% since the founding" (some decades) and "had never laid off any worker, not part-time or temps".

But somebody had given up. Maybe the guy who came before me, who quit with little notice. A week? I don't remember.

I was given three months for creating and documenting a physical filing system (previous guy left no documentation), and physically filing the backlog. I made it take two weeks, including going back through old Excel workbooks and physical files to repair, correct, and apply access control on the workbooks.

For my next two weeks, I spent a tiny bit of each day keeping things updated, and the majority of it helping out in another department.

Then they suddenly laid off all temps, no appeals from supervisors accepted.

Fast-forward a few years, and I heard from an active employee that they very nearly foundered, before returning to profit, thanks to one of their largest customers taking some of their debt (calculating that their reliability and precision was worth more than the cost of trying to get any other supplier tooled, schooled, and proper rigorous).

I like to think I worked myself out of a job their, by making the estimates not pointless.
Netflix hides it's app from the Google Play store if the device fails the system integrity check that this proposal is based on, they definitely care.
Precisely the point. It's a good test of commitment when someone is asked to give up something (in this case a very small increase of the probability of causing a problem) in return for climate improvements.
I agree with your last statement, although it is describing a very simple interaction and I don’t feel certain that we are observing that in action yet. I also don’t know if there are counter-balancing interactions that we aren’t aware of yet.

If humanity does end up accidentally terraforming the planet to get to hot in a positive feedback loop, I believe we will be within a line-of-sight to terraforming it back in the other direction.

Technology has solved all our physical problems so far. Maybe we will seed clouds in the upper atmosphere to reflect a lot of energy back into space. Maybe we will find something useful to do with captured carbon (which doesn’t just release it). It is insane to suggest capitalism won’t solve this problem by the time it actually needs solving, and therefore needs to be shut down (it’s the thing that actually works).
How would that work then? How can they achieve the goals stated in the introduction like ensuring that users who play a game don't cheat? How would this technology prevent one kind of automation but not the other?

The site also gives an example that "this API will show that a user is operating a web client on a secure Android device". That would mean the site can lock me out, as I am not using Android. So I can't use any of my bookmarklets in my Firefox browser on my Debian machine anymore.

> parts of the Mediterranean are estimated to have been 2°C hotter than today.

That's not a change in global average tempreture though, that's a local variation.

> but the climate had constantly changed throughout history.

'History' is written history, and no, global climatic parameters haven't changed in written history.

I believe you might be thinking of geological time - and yes, on long time scales climate has changed - and changed with cause just as a stone moves subject to force.

In this particular moment of time climate has started to change within the past century after remaining stable for tens of thousands of years and the root cause of that change is human activity changing the insulation properties of the atmosphere.
Honestly, I havent been a nodejs dev for a long time.

However from the outside in, if an alternative runtime was to steal the show so to speak, then Bun looks like it might be able to do it.

- Full interoperability with the existing ecosystem

- Typescript and JSX as first class

- Blazing fast compile times

- Can serve a very large number of concurrent requests

- And a standard library that does as much as the go stdlib

Someone please tell me why this is a bad project, because so far I want to jump in.
I remember the heady early days of the cloud when AWS networking was simple.

Even then, I saw this coming, of course. There's no way to "be everything for everybody" without also duplicating the insanity that is legacy IPv4 data centre networking.

Just recently, I wanted to do something conceptually simple in Azure: NOT have the storage account with our database backups "on the Internet" for the world to poke and prod at will.

So simple! Just turn on the firewall... and oh boy...

You can whitelist only subnets. Individual subnets. One. At. A. Time. Not virtual networks. Definitely not "all" of your virtual networks, which works elsewhere perfectly fine.

Okay, fine, there's a Private Endpoint feature as well. Sure, it kills performance and costs extra, but there's nothing wrong with having this cost money, right? After all, flipping the address in some config of a software-defined-network (SDN) from "public" to "private" is hard work and the gremlins in the cloud need to be compensated.

Then, err... uh-oh. It doesn't actually work! You need to override DNS to make your clients discover it. So you plug it into your AD domain. Now your PaaS services can't access it.

Okay fine, you create a private DNS zone (which costs more money), link it to a hub network, link a DNS Resolver service to it (which costs more money), then set up a bazillion rules so that your AD domain still works, and then...

... where was I again? I started this a week ago.

Oh yeah, I just wanted to make sure Russian hackers can't access our backups if a storage key leaks.

Maybe next week I can update the subscription templates to re-deploy all the virtual networks with the updated DNS settings.

Not idempotent, you say? Maybe next year they'll have a preview?

Never mind, I hope the Russians won't get mad at us in the next few months...
Your site doesn't accept .me emails. When making early-stage design decisions might be a good idea to priotize minimizing friction for new users, even edge case ones.

Except the average US mortgage holder buys and sells a house every 7 years. For the first 7 years the amortization schedule means you're paying almost all interest and building very little equity. You're also paying realtor fees and transaction costs each time.

So while paying off a 30 year mortgage might have been to pay off the house and keep it forever, that's not how Americans treat it. They basically use it as a way to get 10-20x leverage on housing prices speculation, and if they profit, cash out 7 years later and do it again with a new house.
