Well, it doesnt look like they were doing much of billing/payments which eats so much time. And 14M users on a sporadically used social network with a couple of curated photos per user is not that much. Its a great achievement nonetheless.

Institutionalised Greed is a form of Complicit Exploitation.

"I was just following orders," is one of the typical apologies.

> This tendency can be temporarily reined in by regulations, civil suits, strong-willed executives and employees, or a company culture that prizes integrity and longer-term results.

These are checks on greed, dishonesty, and cruelty. All that stands between healthy social order and chaos is the social trustworthiness of people.
German cities in rubble and a divided Germany. That's the result of Nazi rule. It probably didn't help Germany's bottom line.
1 or 2 GB of RAM? Yeah, that would've been the problem. Old CPUs can handle more than people think but there's absolutely no getting away from modern memory demands.
It's decades since I read him, but per William Shirer, by 1939 the Third Reich was facing looming bankruptcy (by turning a firehose of cash on its problems—creating make-work jobs, running a massive rearmamanent program, building up huge armed forces, and bread and circuses). Indeed from one perspective the post-1938 expansion of Hitler's reich was driven by the urgent need to steal money and resources from the neighbours to stave off a total economic collapse.

Like turning to bank robbery to pay off the maxed-out credit cards. (Which works for a short while, right up until you hit a bank with a SWAT team waiting for you.)
Your explanation is brilliant!
GP made multiple suggestions and personally I read their comment as “here are some ideas, does anyone else have any?” Not an indictment of people using this material or a statement that there must be something better and everyone must switch to it.

Your comment comes across a bit off-tenor.

Also keen to hear if folks on here have other ideas (before you ask: I don’t have any).

> Generally, if there were a better solution we would be using it.

If this were actually the attitude people adopted, literally nothing would improve ever.
Ultimately quite the opposite, and the only reason Germany got back up so well after the war is because it was subject to Marshall's Plan investment on the West, and on the East side was a demo of how good the Soviets are.
No. If you create a strain of a disease that is less persistent, it would obviously be wiped out almost instantly by basic natural selection.

Not really. NIST did a really good introductory blockchain technology whitepaper in 2018:

Which explains why inflation in countires like Belgium, Spain, Denmark, Luxembourg are all under 2.5% as they famously don't use the Euro.
It's possible to have more than one worst. In a totally-ordered collection this happens if you have two or more equal elements, which happen to be worse or equal to any other element. In a partially-ordered collection, there could be groups of elements that are not comparable between each other, and so you will potentially have multiple distinct worst elements.

Trivially, in a collection that has no "worse than" relation you can define one that doesn't compare them at all, and declares them all "incomparable" -- which, again, would make them all worst.

Bonus question: can you imagine a collection where there is no worst element?

> How do you rank C, Perl, JavaScript, PHP

Well, none of these languages have their own parallelism / concurrency aspect. (Except Perl 5 maybe? I'm not really familiar with the language). They all rely on the system running them to do the parallelism.

So... all of these will go roughly into the same bin as Python?

Some languages have libraries that would allow them to do better (eg. you have PThreads in C), but that's not the function of the language.

I'd be curious about what the data shows.

I would describe it as the "conventional wisdom" account of how populism functions e.g. the Great Depression is described as a necessary context for Hitler's popularism to be effective i.e. economic grievance fuels anti-establishment / anti-elite narratives. You get the Occupy Wallstreet movement after a crash/recession, not during a boom.
Their “synthetic doppelgänger economy” seems a little off. Fig B1 Burlesconi 2001 is particularly egregious.
Yes, I thought about this approach, but as said at least one of these dsl routers is very, very slow at booting, more than 1 minute, 2 or more if I recall correctly, in the "three level cascading/rotating" setup the pinging script would need to be timed (either in seconds or in number of failed pings) to allow the booting time for the selected router before deciding that even the router that was just connected has no internet and decide to connect to the third one.
I could leave the "other" routers powered on at all times and use three el-cheapo unmanaged switches to connect them and power on/off these switches instead, this would be almost instantaneous.

Depends on the account. Eg if you look at unfiltered YouTube comments on youtube studio, you'll find many humans that behave like bots and post link to their videos in unrelated discussions
I’ll admit that sometimes I could structure my code to be more clear. Lately, I’ve been running some new methods I’ve created thru GPT4. I know the method works and does its job, but I want to see how GPT4 iterates on it. While I don’t always use its suggestions, it has made me better consider how I can restructure my code. I can see this as a great way for developers to improve their code quality.
Therm-a-rest stood my test. How often did you use it, or rather, how did you store it? I've put mine to the side of the some wall, inflated, not rolled up.

GP is wrong, in populism people never get what they want because the populist leader uses fear to control them.

One result of this fear play is that these people don't take the right decisions and thus fail to make their personal finances a factor in what they vote for, leading to economic losses.

America Just Hit the Lithium Jackpot
I built a CLI tool that needed to be compiled to a standalone executable a couple of months ago and tried out Node, Bun, and Deno for it.

I dismissed Node because it was a super-manual process and experimental.

Bun had some crazy bugs around handling environment variables where they were sort-of baked in at build time instead of evaluated at runtime but only used in some circumstances. I never got to the bottom of it but it was weird enough to put me off Bun because there was clearly something very wrong there and the documentation wasn’t helpful.

Deno worked great. There was one bug I experienced caused by inheriting a node_modules directory that caused it to crash while building, but the fix was released a few days after it was reported.

It’s definitely not as mature as Node, but it’s good enough that I would try it by default for new projects now.

I disagree. Browsers like Chrome and Firefox have the ability to install different engines, yet I'd be shocked if Google wasn't at least 90% of the current default search engine on both browers. Most users might be technical enough to change their default, but unless Bing/DDG/et al are demonstrably better in their results, users won't switch.

Do you pay for computer hardware and accessories? Do you pay for ISP for an internet connection? Do you pay Microsoft for Windows? Do you pay for a dropbox account? Do you pay for movies and digital media? Do you pay for books?

Why are books (and probably movies) the only one you don't pay for?

Information is not free, information requires 24/7 elecricity to be pumped through thousands of internet connected computers, manned by thousands of engineers keeping the whole thing working. The information requires thousands of writers/coders to be created.

It is a peak luxury to sit back in a Herman Miller Aeron chair in a tech company, sipping lattes and say something like 'information should be free' while millions of people are working to keep the whole charade that 10101 (binary code rising out of electricity) actually means something legible to human eyeballs at all.

Writers are just another brick in the wall, another link in the chain. Pay them like we pay everything else, that fits.
There are some reasons it may lead to resiliency; another teams features slow dB queries not being on your db, teams not mutating data in a shared db, memory leaks in someone elses feature not taking your app down. Being able to choose language/libraries and tune the runtime to your requirements.

Of course when you replace function calls with network calls, make everything asynchronous and eventually consistent, there is a lot of work to do to not end up with a less reliable system.

I've looked into doing something similar for Colesworths in AUS but they make scraping their websites very hard on purpose [1]. OP was lucky that they got the anonymous since-2017 price dump! I can't find anything similar for ANZ.

Pricehipster has some histories going back to 2021 for Coles alone: https://pricehipster.com/?stores=BkG5opaa

Interestingly, the cheap toast at Coles almost doubled in price since 2021. That fits with my general observations here: the general cheap staples got way more expensive, the expensive stuff stayed similar. https://pricehipster.com/product/Gwzex_LRGY2ueMAelqR-xg~BkG5...

Hey HN, I'm Andriyas, a long-time lurker!

After finishing my remote working day a few weeks ago, I sat down on my sofa and started to check my usual social media sites. From Instagram to TikTok to Reddit to Medium - there is a pattern that those platforms follow in their algorithms - they naturally show me something that I’m interested in.

However, in between all of this content that I actually enjoy (in my case it’s primarily aviation and tech), there’s so much irrelevant clutter that I thought to myself - is there a way to somehow unify those platforms and just put all of the content that’s relevant to ME into a single feed?

I wanted to sprinkle in a bit of curation and summarization, ability to talk to people through comments around specific topics and organize everything into easy-to-digest content pieces.

After a few late nights of putting everything together, I wanted to share with you the first version of Humawave. It’s embarrassing how bad it is now as there are so many missing features but I wanted to hear from this community before proceeding further.

Would you find it useful? Would you pay for it? Are there specific features that you would like to see? Shred this idea and execution to pieces, please!
>However that doesn’t work because consumers in Austria don’t realise how they are being ripped off

Oh, they have known for a long time they were being ripped off but didn't have the proof. There's nothing they can do about it because the corrupt politicians claim it's just the free market and can't intervine with the market pricing otherwise it would be communism, and Austrian consumers who don't live close to Germany have no other options for shopping than the local monopoly.

100%. I started my career like this - I call it The Hard Way.

But then once I worked in a few startups, I realized the point was to just ship as fast as possible. I lost the Hard Way mindset and settled into a life of wide, shallow knowledge. As a result I now feel like a glorified plumber, not at all what I set out to be. So I’m trying to figure out how to get back to that state, but it’s difficult to slow down once you’ve gotten used to moving fast.
