Sorry, but what you're describing sounds frankly impossible. You can't make an authentic connection with a complete stranger via voice clips in less than two months. Meaningful relationships take time to build, full stop. I believe, if you were truly being honest with yourself and not trying to promote a product, the "cause for rising loneliness and mental struggles" isn't that people are using communications channels with too much text or imagery. It's that their communications channels are largely mediated by a computer and involve communications with strangers in the first place. The solution isn't yet another app. It's to get off their devices and meet people physically and build true relationships, that involve not only talking to someone, but mutual obligation and care demonstrated over a long span of time across varied life circumstances that you share with one another. Sharing your life only with strangers is what causes this shallowness you see.
Perl6/Raku is my personal choice (when I can).

Python to me, is too far away from shell/unix. It is a programming language for writing applications. For the use case of writing shell scripts but in a more powerful language, perl is still the king here (or it should be. Sadly it doesn't appear to be the case. No one is using it except for die hard gray beards.)

Raku is a modern (still a big) language with kitchen sink. Again doesn't appear to be much uptake.

I hired someone on Craigslist for something (I don't remember now exactly what it was for) and he turned out to have a breathalyzer interlock on his car, presumably ordered by a judge or something after multiple DUIs. If I remember correctly, he had to periodically blow into the tube while driving. I don't think I had realized that was a thing before that.

Clearview[1] is not shy about selling its facial recognition services to government agencies and continues to scrape social media for photographs. It is within the realm of possibility that the foreign service officer who issues visas may query a Clearview product for photos of a visa applicant, and get a detailed picture (ha!) about the subjects activities at a conference while they were on a tourist visa.

If you run a successful restaurant paying for "protection" to mobsters is a negligible cost to keep your business running (and your kneecaps not broken), but that doesn't make the racketeering acceptable...
The vast, vast majority of rental properties have a much lower cost basis than if you were to buy it yourself today. Many landlords could rent it for much less than your mortgage payment on the same property and still turn a profit.

Which brings the debate back to the argument, doubtless made many many times over the years, that there is probably a reason that microkernels have a hard time getting traction.
They use the occasion to get more commission, by encouraging renewals further in the future to "lock" the current price. Presumably they get the full 10 years worth of commission today when a .com is renewed for that long.

I have been in a relationship since before tinder and it continues strong.

When tinder came out my single friends all jumped on it. I probably went hoarse with all the tinfoil hat warnings I doled out.

Looking at this article I realise I was a fool to try and judge them during the onboarding phase. They are worse than I'd imagined.
Individual landlords also tend to play games with renovictions or personal-use evictions to inflate their rents. I would never rent from someone who can decide their "nephew" wants the space and they just couldn't say no to him but then that fell through and meanwhile you're out on the street.
It improves "the" experience; not "your" experience. ;)

This is the restaurant we'd go to when all other options were booked or it was too late to drive further.

It's funny seeing this measured experimentally without an explanation on a .ai site. Transformer models need to be rerun for each additional token. The algorithm itself (running the whole fixed-sized model again) is linear in time. So, this is the expected result.

Seeing something different than this would point to an advancement. If it were discovered how to do this sublinearly, a company like OpenAI may even want to hide by artificially delaying responses to preserve the cost advantage.

Correct, advertising unlimited with caps is not allowed, unlike the US for example.

In my case they clearly have to say upfront on the cheaper unlimited, it's not rate limited until X but the caps have to be proportionate so it's still absolutely fine, they do have an "always on" thing for capped packages though, so you're never really cut off (data only which does not have such strict regulation as voice/SMS)

This kind of cascading side effects can actually work out. The best example is the reintroduction of the wolf in Yellowstone [1], but similar effects have also been observed in Germany [2]. Another "key species", at least here in Europe, is the beaver [3], because its creation of wetlands aside of rivers creates an entire ecosystem for birds and reptiles.

I think these are broadly reasonable points and when there is no existing security team (I’m joining to set one up) I usually start with going after infra, picking the low hanging fruit and carefully planning out any points of friction with a user base that isn’t used to having a security team. That’s often a journey that involves basic cloud controls, restructuring IAM, bringing in MDM, pushing for license upgrades for key SaaS apps that force you to pay the SSO tax, making sure the WAF and DoS protections are actually doing something useful, documenting the security signals we have and those we need, rolling out and drilling an actionable incident response plan etc. I came from software engineering into appsec, prodsec and then into security management and possibly as a result of that I don’t push for plugging a dependency/static analysis tool into a work item tracking system and fire hosing engineers with CVEs in code paths they never hit. I do want to see that they can keep up with general patching though - can they, on a regular (think weekly/monthly) cadence upgrade their libraries and frameworks to the latest patch version and still ship with quality that week?

But when you look at some key aspects of that infra/biz app security journey at a largely cloud based young business - like taking more control of IAM across SaaS, bringing together activity from those multiple cloud systems and creating alerts that actually matter - that all involves knowing your vendor supports SSO, possibly also SCIM, has logs that contain relevant data that can be exported/streamed into a SIEM. Some of the stuff this standard demands is going to be fairly core to securing business infra. I just get bored talking to vendors that want to wave an ISO cert at me as if that somehow makes it ok they don’t give me access to audit logs.

> Why does a stream know how to read an integer? Why does it need to know how an integer looks, and how to create one?

Because sometimes you have streams of binary-encoded integers, and sometimes you have streams of text (e.g. JSON), and sometimes it's something else. Why should the integer know how to encode itself in all the possible ways?

A more sensible OO design is to have a separate hierarchy of readers that parse integers on top of abstract streams of raw bytes and text codepoints - this is what e.g. .NET does. But then when you add a new type like BigInteger, how do you expand existing readers?

The real problem is that, fundamentally, certain things cannot be OO-modelled properly without dynamically dispatching over several types. The proper solution to this is multimethods like in CLOS - but multiple dispatch is slow to implement, has complicated corner cases due to dispatch ambiguity, and can be tough to fit into a statically typed system well.
I argue most growth we’ve seen has been from cheap developing world labor that is evaporating as Asia gets old fast.
Yes, but I wouldn't expect it to be a groove. Human hips mean when walking single-file we make a grooved path, particularly in harder terrain as we'll narrow our gait to reduce environmental resistance to travel. Sheep produce very similar paths. But horses are wider at the hip yet have a similarly wide foot .. so I'd expect more of a swathe (wider path, ie not a groove) of damage, with sufficient horses.

I grew up in a small village where a significant proportion of people ride, gaps in hedgerows where a number of horses have just passed through (eg a hunt) produce a wide band of hoofprints. But, I've never seen a route mainly used by horsedrawn carts.

Most of our bridleways look like slightly wider footpaths, but they're primarily used by pedestrians or bicycles and horse traffic is still relative little.

Anyway, ...
> So Joe Squatter will retain ownership, but permits company.com to use it for 99 years for the same price as he would have sold it for.

Then company.com is going to object that they would lose the domain they've had for 99 years or be subject to an extortionate price increase, because they really actually do want to own it. And you can prohibit leasing domain names too.

I mean this isn't that hard. You know who these companies are. You prohibit sales, you go to the website of the company trying to sell a million domains and see what scam they're running now, and two hours later you prohibit that too. Eventually they'll make a mistake and do something which is explicitly prohibited and forfeit all of their domains.

"We should not attempt to solve this problem because the first attempt might be less than 100% effective" is pointless defeatism. So what if they come up with a way around it? Prohibit whatever they do until they go out of business.

I just did a Ask HN related to this: Did you purchase a house recently?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37204037

If so, how? Did you use a real estate agent? Mortgage rates are the highest in more Than 20 Years[1]. Did you put more than 20% down? Or did you pay cash for a foreclosure, auction, fixer-upper or wholesale home? Are there any sites / apps / services you would recommend for finding a home?

For context, California housing affordability is at its lowest level in nearly 16 years where a minimum annual income of $208,000 was needed to make monthly payments of $5,200[2]

> The problem is, it won't be anywhere near "trendy" locations.

You are being very reductive and writing out entire categories of reasons why housing is unsustainably expensive. In your next two sentences:

> People are forced by market forces to move into ever denser cities.

Lots of us already live in cities but our neighbors and elected leaders have let this get massively out of hand. I have lived in Seattle my entire life, as has my wife, and we raised kids here. One of them has had to move away because they can't afford housing here and the other has moved to Marysville just to be able to afford something.

My wife and I are both getting older and didn't want to climb stairs to be able to get to our front door (Seattle, as you may recall, has a lot of hills). Even though we had nominal equity in our house, the red hot housing market here means that equity didn't go as far because we wanted to stay in the same region to be near family and friends we've had our entire life.

Never mind that a lot of those "trendy" areas are where jobs and cultural activities are. Housing is "cheap" in the US if you follow the "just live in the middle of nowhere" model, which of course lots of people don't want or are unable to do.
I compare this to man-to-man versus zone defense. Zone defense, as any parents with three+ children will tell you, is the only way to stay sane.

By looking at a module or concern as a whole, you get to do small-to-medium architectural improvements instead of none-to-small improvements. You get a broader picture, and can pull in more small areas of improvement in the process. The fastest code is code that doesn't run, and 'tall tent-pole' optimizations miss at least half of those opportunities. In some cases they just push them around, like broccoli on a child's plate.

Many teams get to the end of this road and then have absolutely no idea what to do next. I find it infuriating for a bunch of my 'betters' to listen to someone on the business side say, "Our customers are complaining about our speed/leaving for a competitor with a faster app" and then pull up a rectangular flame chart to 'prove' "We've done all we can". You have only done the easy parts, probably not even the best parts. You might have actually broken the best parts.

These apps are 'death by a thousand cuts'. No one part of the app is particularly slow, it's just uniformly mediocre coding and an architecture that squeaks by with 'adequate' (to them, but not the business) attention to capacity planning. Either a force of nature shows up and fixes it, or the company fades away.

The only boss I ever followed to a new job had two sayings that I stole. 1) "If you want to complete a meeting in an hour you need to complete half the meeting in half an hour" and the other was about scaling:

The first order of magnitude is simple. The second is difficult. The third requires talent (sometimes tacking on "which not all teams have.")

You can interpret that a number of ways, but if your founding team isn't paying homage to the problem of scaling up to 1000 times the users you have at the beginning, you probably don't have the talent to get there (you didn't buy it, and you didn't build it along the way). I don't know what percentage of companies that claim "we did all the right things and still failed" have this problem, but I sincerely suspect it's at least 10%, which is a very big failure mode to ignore.

Not sure where you read in my comment that it isn't "boomer zoning" but I believe you are referring to one of the largest proximate causes.

"Corpos" are filling in the gap because a ridiculously sticky real estate market means that there are a ton of places that could easily bear more renters. These corporations are typically paying far below the average for homes in whatever state they are buying in [0] (somehow paradoxically this becomes bidding home prices up) and typically allow more renters to enter the market rather than being priced out.

Institutional investors own the vast majority of rental units unless you arbitrarily decide to exclude multi unit housing from your metric.

Given the extensive reporting that they have been growing their share certainly it is even higher 8 years later.
Having surmounted (and benefited from) the learning curve of functional programming, I find your argument of "everything must be easy or it is by definition a failure" to be suspect, AND a cop-out.

It’s a bit of a strange argument that developers can feed their families _only_ if they sell their software on a subscription basis. Nobody wants to developers to starve. At the same time it is not a _duty_ of users of a software to make sure the developer’s family is fed. It is a business. Developer sells something, and the buyer gets value in return. Subscription is just one way of making the buyer pay more(may be hoping that they forget that they were paying for it amidst 50 other subscriptions).
It is perfectly fine to say “I expect to feed my family with this work. So I want to charge $bigamount”. Then your buyers chose whether your software is worth that or not.

You may also say, “I prefer a recurring income, and don’t want to charge one time. It is my prerogative.”, but arguing that one cannot feed their families any other way is disingenuous.
The problem with this argument is that getting a mortgage locks in your housing payments. If you look at the growth in rents over 25 years you don’t come out ahead investing. In year 25 of my mortgage I’m paying the same amount as in year one but in many markets in the US rent has gone up 4.7%/year and that means rent is 315% of what it used to be. When rent goes from $2000/month to $6300/month and your mortgage was $4000/month you aren’t coming out ahead by taking $2300/month out of savings each month to pay rent.

I was summoned to a nondescript industrial building, found my way upstairs and wound up in a grubby room posing as a lobby. I was seated on a low futon and had several discussions with my knees nearly level with my ears. The conversations were overly casual but with some oddly specific IT security questions. I seriously contemplated walking out of what was clearly an amateurish, shoestring operation.

Nope... I have worked there 20 years so far.

My first job was to evict the former sysadmin, and within the first 90 days I was relocating the whole company, building out the new IT infrastructure.

So in the spirit of the recent post about Charlie Munger killing a lot of pilots I would suggest not judging the company solely by its lobby. Make a list of real deal-breakers and consider overlooking the rest.
I have been a bit reluctant to complain too much about prices going up recently since in many ways it feels like a hopeless battle.

But in this particular case, I don't quite understand why Verisign needs to increase the cost of this. I can't imagine the infrastructure costs are really that high for this. So I am really curious where this extra money is really going?

Sure it's not much, but I would still like a justification as to why.

I am also curious that I can't find any information about AWS increasing their cost for .com domains. They are still sitting at $13 for both .com and .xyz
