If it was more frequent, I would finally resign myself to spending a ton extra to get the same ergonomics with a wired keyboard -- it just feels like a waste right now, for how rarely and minorly disruptive it is for me, on my unit at least. It's nice to be happy and productive with commodity equipment.

But if my current keyboard had a wired option, I would get it -- not for any of the reasons listed in the article, though. Just to eliminate the already rare connectivity drops.

Why does the state have an interest in what free people choose to talk about?
> Whereas in Germany it's my understanding that renters essentially can never be kicked out unless they do something egregious

That's a double edge sword. Would you rent your place to people knowing they can stop paying and trash your place and you can't get rid of them? I'm not a landlord but this scenario would scare the hell out of me, which is probably why German landlords ask for so may documents(bordering on privacy violation), and are so picky when choosing tenants that apartment hunting is basically a part time job in Germany.

>it's usual for people to choose to rent for life

Most people don't choose the rental life, but they don't have a choice, since property prices in German cities are far out of reach of the middle class who doesn't have inherited wealth or financial assistances from parents.

Renting is fine when you're young and employed, but owning your place of living outright by the time of your retirement, is still better for you financially, than having to pay rent as a retiree, as most likely rental costs will go up faster than inflation and wage growth as per current trajectory, and your pension will be too small to pay for living costs and rent on top of that meaning you'll struggle with poverty like some retirees in Germany today, but on a larger scale. Whereas if you pay off your mortgage until then, your retirement will be much less stressful.

Oh, and it will get even worse from here as Germany is refusing to build, to reduce CO2 emissions apparently, and increase migration will put additional pressure over existing housing stock. Great for throe who already own, not for those new to the market.
Try being a highly skilled tech worker who happens to be female and getting a tech job when the screeners are all H1B guys.
So this includes all landlords too? If I buy a second house, do it up, and rent it, I am an “investor”?

While I can see how the delta in this metric is suggestive, it is not clear how it affects the available housing stock (rent+buy).

What I think people actually care about is unoccupied investment properties, where someone buys and leaves it vacant. Apparently a lot of Chinese capital is parked in this way due to their capital controls preventing cash from being freely moved out of the country, though to be clear it’s not unique to China.

Or if these properties are being flipped, perhaps that has a short-term negative impact on available housing stock as properties are taken off the market while being renovated. (If the marginal second bidder would have moved in to the house as-is, then the winning bid renovating and selling is reducing supply / increasing demand for housing.)

As you note, a whole other kettle of fish around REITs that won’t use mortgages. In the US, REITs are a major contributor to new construction for example.

Except we see this all the time on HN. Google support is yelling loudly into HN/Twitter and hoping a Googler picks up your case internally.

The way Google has proven to work, is you have support until the AI/ML model says terminate the account. Essentially, support exists until you need it most. There's no warning, no explanation, just one day you're done, locked out. You can't even export your content off the platform once terminated. I don't see how Google One is expected to help users when developers for Android/Stadia which pay Google a heck of a lot more end up the same creek [0] [1] etc. You even concede it probably won't be helpful.

They eventually get reinstated (looks like d4rken got reinstated last night), but not before they take to social media and Google gets requests for comment from a handful of news outlets. And still, they usually have no idea what they did/didn't do to cause it. They're left guessing but ultimately could have the rug pulled again at anytime.

On the contrary: yes, because that's irrelevant; the back-and-forth between disparate interests, and over interpretations of current legislation (and the constitution, for that matter), is just what normal democracy has that is lacking from other polities.

No I'm saying manganese helps regulates insulin which in turn helps modulate parts of the immune system. [1] It helps to smooth the blood sugar spike.

Chromium reduces insulin sensitivity which is helpful for cells especially muscle which in turn increases stamina. There are plenty of studies which call into question the RDA's for supplements and there are misleading studies like [3].

For example, [2] (Zinc) deficiency during pregnancy causes irreversible effects on the newborn such as growth impairment, spontaneous abortion, congenital malformations and poor birth outcomes.

The same probably exists for other supplements and likewise over exposure will also introduce problems like nickel over exposure can cause fibrotic lung in animal experiments which could explain why some people are born with cystic fibrosis.

In this example [3], the subjects are only consuming 200micrograms of chromium.
I'm not surprised they didnt see any effect, the RDA is 400ug, but some body builders have been known to take upto 2.4g aka 2,400mg aka 2,400,000ug and have seen effects (cant find the study now), but the weight training muddies the water so to speak. And the chromium intake assumes there is enough manganese in the diet to help produce enough insulin and thus smooth the blood sugar levels in the first place.

Zinc plays a role at stabilising cell membranes, it can help reduce the need for a vit E intake which also helps protect cell membranes and is also heavily concentrated in organs like the pancreas.

And whilst non digestive exposure to metals like zinc and manganese can cause problems, the digestive system is very capable at removing excess intakes via the bile acids, helping to reduce any risks.

Zinc, manganese and chromium will all have an effect on the immune system, but as manganese is most commonly associated with insulin production, I only mentioned the manganese.

This study [4] shows that chromium alters the immune response by immunostimulatory or immunosuppressive processes, by altering the insulin resistance of cells.

We are very complex chemical reactions, so trying to get the right intake seems to be a logical first step and with todays technology, and the complete absence of medical experts asking about diet in the first place, how can they even do their job properly for long term illnesses?

So in this reprogramming of cancer cells, yes its a another scientific achievement but is this another achievement once the horse has bolted and should we actually be looking more at the quality and nutrition of our food and environment in order to avoid reactionary medicine?

Ever heard that software developer productivity can't be measured?
Ever heard that software developer productivity can't be measured? McKinsey begs to differ, sparking a fiery debate. But both sides might be missing a crucial detail: the distinction between manual and knowledge work. By clearly delineating between these two, we can define productivity in software development. Let's dive deeper!

When we focus on tech roles, particularly software developers, the distinction becomes more pronounced. As Drucker aptly noted, many knowledge workers, which he termed "technologists", straddle both realms: manual and cognitive. He cites professions such as surgeons and dentists as examples. But where does this leave software developers?

Both manual and knowledge work yield outputs, outcomes, and impacts. The stark difference lies in the input. While manual work's primary input is muscle effort, software development thrives on cognitive effort. This becomes evident when we realize that in manual tasks, much of the necessary knowledge is already embedded in the machines and procedures. In contrast, software development demands continuous knowledge acquisition and application, necessitating a deeper level of problem-solving and innovation.

Software development isn't just about typing or producing lines of code; it's deeply rooted in the acquisition and application of knowledge. This is particularly true for the knowledge developers initially lacked—the information they needed to procure to fulfill their tasks.

This notion becomes palpable in activities such as problem-solving sessions to decipher both the 'what' and 'how' of building a software system, meetings focused on filling knowledge gaps, and code reviews that solicit insights beyond the visible code.

If we insist on evaluating software developers by the metrics of manual labor, we're not just using the wrong yardstick—we're playing an entirely different game. Understanding this distinction is crucial, especially for leaders aiming to harness the full potential of their software development teams.

No, because they can still manage their bowel movements.
My point is that lamenting the fact that nation states disagree about boundaries as evidence that shared reality is breaking down is absurd because nation states have rarely agreed, as a matter of course, on where boundaries are. Indeed, even personal property boundaries are often not as certain as you'd like. My property has a large triangle of land which is disputed with my neighbor, for example, because of differences in surveys at different times.

At the level of political science, most people understand international relations to be, more or less, a sort of state of anarchy, where boundaries are nothing but a bare reflection of power. From this point of view, most calls for "agreement" about a disputed boundary are nothing more than demands by one party for the other to accede to their claim of what they own. I personally believe that this kind of bickering by nation states is pretty far beneath the dignity of the label of "real" and all human beings would be better off if we appreciated that fact.

Don't make me google it, but I thought they also consider a device that can make a semi-auto into full-auto a machinegun in itself. So much like an AR lower receiver, the shoestring is the gun, even though it doesn't have any classic gun features like a bolt, barrel, or breech, etc.

Also, in the M1/shoestring case, the operator just puts tension on the string, and the charging handle cycling back and forth is what releases and applies that pressure to the trigger, so it is just one pull of their finger.

Are hacker types these days more fashionably dressed? Back in my day it was a common stereotype for people to show up in a hoodie or shorts and a tee.

Lol I looked at those samples on the website and wouldn't even know what to call most of the clothing I see. All I see is "oh that guy is trying to be cool" or "the rapper look" or "Watch Dogs NPC".

Has it changed much?

This is the way it should be. People get promoted being their knowledge and/or intelligence and thus the status quo.
Reaching out to Git repo owners or members
Hi community,
We are a small team developing a service, where we would love to get in touch with git repo owners/members (ideally of the size 300-50 000 stars). We believe or service could be of great value for git repos both financially and service wise, and now want to validate that assumption. If you match this description or know someone who does, please feel free to reach out. We are looking to set up chats of 20 minutes, if possible. All tips and contributions would be highly appreciated.
Thank you
(Answer in this thread or send us a mail at patrick.carstens@gmail.com)
Welders in many fields can make upwards of $80/hr, so if you're skilled and professional you can likely make as much as a programmer in many cities.
You make it sound a bit like they optimized the heck out of Julia, while the Mojo sample was a naive little thing in a new innocent language.

The reality is that the Julia optimization was just a rewrite to use the same algorithm as Mojo, and that the Mojo code was heavily optimized.
A lot of this "undefined behaviour" should have been "implementation defined" or "unspecified behaviour" in my opinion. I don't know why they chose "undefined behaviour" in this case. It was a long time ago, they probably weren't aware it would lead to such problems.
How did I change it's meaning?

DHH said:

> very few programmers are typically interested in having their opinion on typing changed. Most programmers find themselves drawn strongly to typing or not quite early in their career, and then spend the rest of it rationalizing The Correct Choice to themselves and others.

IME, my story doesn't seem to be that unique among typescript advocates thus I do not relate to DHH's statement.

It has long been the case that a significant amount of formulaic content is generated by inexpert writers with little familiarity with the topic just to meet a quota of words/articles to shovel onto the internet to try to get the ad money.

The housing market in the Anglosphere is a gigantic Ponzi scheme. That these countries shortsightedly decided to make housing the primary driver of middle class wealth will go down as of the the greatest own-goals in history.

Worse yet, these nonsense housing and zoning policies have no end in sight, as homeowners are disproportionately those richer, older, and more established, and so will continue to vote in greater numbers for these policies.
these are mostly problems that can be solved by redirecting funding

How many people do you think they should employ at the job? Ten years ago China was already employing two million people to monitor the internet. Google and others employ tens of thousands of people round the world to monitor pictures or videos that their AIs flag, and it is a nasty job with a lot of burnout.

Your citation is irrelevant; being unable to control your bowels to the point of shitting in the street is not healthy, and you should seek a doctor.
Your “proof” is that Mr. Musk says so.

There is no proof outside of Musk’s statements that revenue has dropped since X no longer makes public their finances, and there is no proof that anything the ADL has done rises to legally actionable defamation. They have certainly mounted a boycott campaign, but that is not proof of defamation. Myriad other organizations have also called for boycotts. It is curious to me that you are so personally focused on the one boycott that Mr. Musk cited as the sole cause of the revenue drop.

I did link in another post a peer reviewed study from a third party showing that hate speech has measurably risen since Mr Musk’s takeover.

There certainly is a lot of correlation here, but all of us, including you, are speculating on the causality. You are leaning heavily on the statements of a single man who has a proven track record of being incorrect, to put it gently. We are leaning on a variety of other heuristics that can be summed up as “A known bullshiter has said something that sounds like bullshit, and makes no sense to our understanding and experience of the world.”
> I doubt that would be affected much, and even if it is, so what? I don't think the goal is zero deaths

So thank you for finally agreeing. Hot water is dangerous.

No one says goal is zero deaths. But brushing over it, "oh, just some things will die" especially if you're talking about wildlife preserve is oil baron type of argument.

> I care about things that actually affect the environment. If you cared so much about it you'd spend more time worrying about actual issues.

You care about things that affect part of the environment you care about, right? Other environments - that's their problem? You know that EPA considers heated water a hazard, right?

> Ok you really don't understand the scales involved here. Go and look up how much energy is involved in heating the Florida ocean by one degree, and compare that to the energy heating all the water from the deluge system by 100C. It's 1.3 million litres apparently.

I don't believe you argue in good faith, if you don't understand why I brought this example, and try to make it sounds, that unless spacex heats the water to 100C, then it's ok. Bye, it's not worth my time.

> the “tinkering” part is a small thing that makes all the difference when one is first led up to a computer

True, but when making an OS, assembly code is an incredibly small part of it. You basically need to run a few instructions to put the processor in the right mode, and you need ONE line of assembly code (often inline C) to allow usermode to call supervisor mode. When choosing an architecture for a learning OS, I think other factors would dominate, like availability of hardware (many people have a PC already, saving them $100-$200 on RISC-V hardware).

> right… and if you ignore it, maybe it’ll go away. like Intel Management Engine, perhaps. Which OS does it run, if you know? :)

I'm not interested in gatekeeping tech to only those who care about personal privacy, so I consider this line of thought completely irrelevant to the discussion. But that's just me...

1) That's no longer "running async code in Drop" as it's spawned/detached and semantically/can run outside the Drop. This distinction is important for something like `select` which assumes all cancellation finishes in Drop. 2) This doesn't address the efficiency concern of using borrowed memory in the Future. You have to either reference count or own the memory used by the Future for the "spawn in Drop" scheme to work for cleanup. 3) Even if you define an explicit/custom async destructor, Rust doesn't have a way to syntactically defer its execution like Go and Zig do so you'd end up having to call it on all exit points which is error prone like C (would result in a panic instead of a leak/UB, but that can be equally undesirable). 4) Is there anywhere one can read up on the work being done for async Drop in Rust? Was only able to find this official link but it seems to still have some unanswered questions (https://rust-lang.github.io/async-fundamentals-initiative/ro...)
Crazy to see how the second largest country in the world by surface is so dysfunctional when it comes to housing (similar point could be made about Australia, a continent in itself).
