That's me, got fired 4 years before retirement. Made them rich. Young guys came in, it all had to be rebuild in microservices. Last press release, they have tripled their staff, financial turnover went down, the new system is working but is lacking the functionality of the old systems. All the pitfalls i warned them fore and got me fired, became reality.
The only 'shitty ideas' in business are those that cost the business and shareholders money.

> As a person sitting in the city pondering a life outside of it I can't see the point in the suburbs if I'm going to be driving and stuck in traffic anyway. I'd rather go whole hog and live rurally.

I've though this way too for a long time, both now and when I lived in a city. Having thought about it often, I think the two things driving suburbs are those with daily commutes (that 15 extra minutes twice every day adds up), and many people are not well off enough to live in the denser city to begin with (as things stand). Cities are economic attractors, and suburbs are basically less concentrated instances (or addons) of that.

Also note that the question specifically says "amenities". Likely most people aren't thinking about commuting while answering the question.

I would dispute that the person that plugs away at a legacy code base, does not necessarily translate to someone that is also good at personal finance.

I feel similarly about all digital stores from apps to games. There's zero curation anywhere. Everyone wants to be the "dump all your garbage here and let consumers pick while we get 10-30% cut". It's like wading through a sea of cheap rip offs and apps named like a terrible Amazon listing trying to hit as many keywords as possible.

I would love an app store that commits to much higher standards on all fronts. I think the subscription format that the likes of Setapp use could be very useful here in that it would be shared among these apps that meet high standards.
The material used for conductors must be mechanically stable and perform consistently from one production batch to another. One reason why current high tc superconductors are not popular

I was going to ask: Why don't we use the current high temperature superconductors, and start building grid interconnects? I guess part of the answer lies in the cost that would be incurred because of the mechanical properties of the existing superconductors.
Exactly, I did think of all this, especially about the Security implications of running such a service, another example, what happens when said Faang Employee leaves Faang and does not explicitly say so but keeps representing the former company.

To me a lot of economists and forecasters this year have looked very much like technical analyst stock pickers, buying or selling a stock based on the shape of the price curve.

Except that the amount of economic data is far to low to make statistically safe predictions. How many previous times have we had a lockdown, followed by a war in Ukraine, followed by …
In my view, there's duplication that could use an abstraction and duplication that is merely coincidental. (See The Wrong Abstraction by Sandi Metz [1])

Unless something screams "this should be the single source of truth about this" forget abstracting all together and just copy and move on.

The problem with trying to create 1 "CRUD controller" is that there are always going to be hairy things that make parts one offs. Perhaps someone needs to add location headers because the underlying calculation takes too long. Perhaps they want custom status codes when things go wrong. Maybe they need to use web sockets or server sent events. As soon as any sort of needed customization comes into play you start finding yourself closer and closer to the framework you are likely using until you reach a point of "Why am I trying to wrap the entire framework? Why can't I use it directly?"

And if you've made the mistake of pulling that abstraction into a library, heaven help you when you need to update things. What happens if the underlying framework library makes a breaking change? Or if you need to make a breaking change to support some feature? It all gets really messy really fast and now instead of just impacting the 1 application you are impacting 100.

Updating shared code is never as easy as you might think.

But, on the flip side, I can't think of anything easier, even if it's mostly boiler plate, than writing a controller that calls some business logic that works with a DB. Regardless the language or framework. The hard part of such applications is always the business logic and not the actual controller wiring.

I just don't buy it. Everything is in limbo, house inventory is very low because no one sells their low interest mortgage. Commercial real estate is going to blow up any day. The stock market is buoyed by a few companies in AI craze. Startups are getting a lot less funding than before. Barely any IPOs in sight. Large investments are made by governments on borrowed money.

It seems to me that the only way things aren't awful, is because people are holding on for dear life and minimizing their burn rate. But the wall is coming, just very slowly.

That's just my impression, I'm not an expert. I would prefer being wrong.

I think it comes down to a lack of knowledge. I was pretty skeptical of the original claim, since RT has been a goal for a long time and no one has achieved it . So far all the repro attempts I have seen mention temps around 100K. I don't follow SC so 100k sounds "really cold" to me. It matches with my shallow understanding of SC "it is really cold". Maybe that is really warm in SC land. Either way there hasn't been a near freezing repro so I have grown more skeptical of the original claim.
That's why I think Hybrid Cloud is where corporations are headed to (which means a mix of Public & Private Clouds and On Prem Servers).

You would use your on-prem servers for the core (and predictable) demand, as scaling it takes time and CAPEX.

You use cloud for elastic demand and innovation.

Once you have the technology layer to orchestrate those things, it should be more effective for corporations, specially those with high computational demand, to have this kind of setup.

“They” haven’t changed any definitions, I don’t think there’s even a “they,” and there was not a recession by any definition of recession.

The fed tried hard to induce one because of wage growth and inflation, but failed to do so. Companies in tech specifically fired a ton of people in preparation, but that doesn’t make a recession - just bad business judgement. Tech leadership has never been super sharp to begin with.
I think GP means "make a tiny change [after generation, outside of the generator, and persist that change independent of the generator code]", which is where all the demons are waiting

Right, you'd think there's never been a disturbing scandal in the scientific community at all in the past ever based on the headline.

The datapoint about so many retractions is a red herring. I think they don't expect people to click through the link and observe the graph that shows that, while rising, the current rate of retraction's still below 8% (I think they mean 8%. These guys label their y-axis with '%' but then use fractions of 1 instead of values out of 100. Gross.)

For a purely human-driven global pursuit, I'd say 8% error rate is well within acceptable margins. Seems like it's functioning as intended? Every aspect of society has to deal with inept spam nowadays, so it isn't like the issue being discussed is scoped specifically to science, either. Charlatans gonna charlatan.
It's working as intended. Conway's Law applied to the global context.
If you read the Chromium bugtracker comments (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=117805...) and see the messages of support from e.g. Facebook, Adobe, Intel, VESA, Krita, etc then I think it is quite clear that "no one else is supporting that format" is not quite a correct assessment of the situation.

Ask HN: How to handle KYC for thousands of users?
For one project I would like to do, I will have to handle thousands or probably tens of thousands of users due to Know Your Customer rules because financial transactions will take place.

Right now my approach was to do it manually because of small scale but if I want to go forward I realize this manual work will not make sense in the long run.

So I wonder how do the other companies do it? Like Amazon for example, since they are working with millions of merchants, or Google and their Adsense and Adwords.

I can understand some type of automatization that can use OCR to screen for name, address and crop a picture from ID or passport, possibly require user to submit selfie. But I do not see how that could be used to fill out business details or even verify the validity of submitted images. I can see a person reviewing the submitted scans and provided details and possibly tweak it by communicating with the user or request additional documents. But how do you automatize this? Is it even possible? For example when I request a payment gateway I have to submit my data and person verifies it so it seems even braintree/stripe/... are doing it manually.
National Bureau of Economic Research declares recessions in the USA. Always have.

If they don't say it's a recession, it isn't one.

------

What is consistent is that the economists there declare recessions way too late in practice. I think they declared a recession dated in 2007 in the year 2009, when we were already recovering.

So what we have are a bunch of internet bloggers who try to call a recession before the experts. But all that happens in practice is that the bloggers call a recession every 3 months since 2010 hoping that they're correct today.

If we are in a recession today, we will know for sure maybe next year. That's just how it works on this issue, and it's premature to call it any sooner.

Consumer confidence (Conference Board) present situation index is the highest its been in two years, even though not at the extreme highs it was sitting at pre-COVID, but, yeah, I can tell you exactly that, with pretty strong evidence.

Are most people in a precarious situation as is the norm in a mostly-capitalist economy? Yes. But that’s part of the long-term baseline.

IMHO, I don’t think there are enough code generators, however, a good code generator’s output should be a library, not editable source. I’ve had a lot of good experience using IDLs that could generate libraries for multiple languages that other code could be used with (e.g. define your REST url scheme and supported operations and a base class that gets generated that allows filling in logic).

At least in Java world, annotation seemed to have taken over, but the mixture of code and interface definition kicks you into the language and allows too much flexibility that really make it no different than writing registration code. Having a nice declarative language without business logic sneaking in.

uhh those aren't the only three possibilities tho

wikipedia on the history of actual chihuahuas:

> Sixteenth-century Spanish accounts tell of large numbers of dogs being served at banquets.[5] Aztec merchant feasts could have 80–100 turkeys and 20–40 dogs served as food.[6]

how would you distinguish beloved pets from food animals? well, plausibly by quantity, or by the form of burial. perhaps the villa only had one or two lap dogs?

Show HN: Discuss Netflix shows at exact timestamps as you watch, and more
Hi HN community, Tyler Williams here. I've been busy over the past few months developing something new I'd love to share with you.

Flipside is all about making your web browsing more interactive. Now you can make posts on virtually any website, and on popular streaming platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, and Apple+. Imagine leaving a comment about a plot twist right at the exact timestamp in a show, or sharing a review about a product while you're shopping online. Flipside makes this possible.

Our goal with Flipside is to keep conversations contextual and in sync with your online experiences. You no longer need to switch to different social platforms to discuss or share what you've found online - your browsing and social interactions can now happen in one place.

I'd love it if you gave Flipside a spin. Check it out at www.joinflipside.com and I'd really appreciate any feedback you may have. Looking forward to your thoughts.

Best,
Tyler

Just a small bit of constructive criticism based on my opinion. Asking for a city/state/zipcode is completely reasonable, but an initial job application for any decent software engineering job should definitely NOT ask for an applicant's full address right off the bat before you connect with a human. There's too many scams and data-collection operations out there to make this a trustworthy practice that decent companies engage in.
I hear ya. I used to have a .45 carbine (basically a cheap, off-brand "Tommy Gun" knock-off, semi-auto only) and "back home" we had space out back where there was a big pit where they had sold fill dirt years before. So we could just go down in the pit and shoot with the sides of the pit as a backstop. And if, FSM forbid, a round made it out of the dirt pit, there was nothing around but miles of woods.

Now, if I want to shoot I have to pack my stuff in the car, drive to a range, pay a fee, etc. etc. Doable, but definitely adds some friction to the process.
There's also been a ton of quietly revising numbers down months later. I don't think GDP has revised down negative much yet, but stuff like unemployment and hiring numbers have been extremely volatile and sometimes revised to complete opposites (strong positive to strong negative numbers) months after the fact.

Yes, it will of course absorb or reflect the red light like any stone would, but to "charge" its luminiszence you need at least green light - blue works great. That is, why you never could charge your watch dial with incandescent light, but any white LED will work great because their light usually contains a lot of blue light. Fun fact: though it is calles "phosphorescence" all those colors don't contain any Phosphor, that Phosphor isn't phosphorescent :p An error in early naming.

"The economy" is at least two separate things.

One is the sum total of goods and services. Measuring it is always a bit dicey but the metrics are doing reasonably well.

The second is how much money people have, in terms of its ability to buy stuff. That can be subjective, especially when the objective measures are contradictory, as they are now.

Ideally the two would be somewhat correlated. When the first definition is doing great and the second isn't, people get cranky because their work isn't bringing them wealth and stability. That is a systemic problem that goes even beyond today's economy.
Is this the defense of your choice to support the industry? I'm not sure I understand it, as the same logic was/is used to justify slave labour and systemic racism - "they want to work, the children enjoy helping their parents in the field". Doesn't this ring sour to you?
Another article pushed by banks and commercial landlords. Remote work isn’t going away anytime soon, the pandemic was the reality slap for a lot of employees, they found that the work indeed can be done remotely in efficient and effective ways, without the compromises on all office shenanigans, commute troubles, wasted time, bad launch in a short launch break, and for some even being away from their families and barely seeing their kids on the weekends. Remote work simply shifts the power back to the employees, not entirely but at least it balances thing out, and that’s something corps do not want, they want to treat employees like kindergarten kids and when you achieve something the reward is something cheap and humiliating like this:

Yeah that seems like a politically motivated conclusion. Most of the modern small dog breeds were originally bred to do things like hunt badgers in small burrows. It was probably so in the past as well, even if those reasons have been lost to time.
