> But if all you want to do is to exchange meaningless data, you don't need a blockchain for that.

in this context it does matter. cloudlfare and any other "web 2" (for lack of a better encompassing term) is censorable. they can use any other HTTP API (or host their own although that could be blocked by a VPS eventually).

i agree with the rest of what you're saying. the reality is that it's a decentralized world that inherently requires centralized bridging. the KYC push was the turning point for controlling all the on/off ramps. it's still possible to exchange entirely on chain but the recipient would have to acknowledge that if the sender is black listed then their received holdings are subject to the same control.

as long as there is "border control" back to tradfi then there will always be a centralized constraint on the concept. in theory we may see a future where people have enough markets for remaining purely on chain but anything related to government fiat (housing, taxes etc) will by definition remain centralized.

I don't see the point.

If you want an FDIC-insured savings account from a large institution, Marcus offers 4.4%, and it isn't even the highest -- Synchrony isn't as big a name but it offers 4.75%.

And while I can see keeping an intermediate buffer in such an account (since you can ACH directly from it), it's not much more hassle to use a money market fund (details do matter a little), e.g. FZFXX, VUSXX, or SNSXX (those are Treasury funds; prime funds typically give a slightly higher rate), for around 5%. Even there you're giving up a little vs. laddering T-bills, but it's so easy and it's completely liquid.

The only reason not everybody does this has to be that they're just not used to brokerage accounts, or that they don't have enough money to bother.

Probably most people who want to hold cash should just open an account at Fidelity, and put any money that can afford a couple day's lead time into FZFXX.

> The problem is that that young men are told they are bad, not worthy, animals, sex crazed, not to be trusted, are likely to abuse children or woman, are less intelligent, are only worth their ability to provide, should not have emotions, should know (naturally) how to be good at physical activities, should be logical, and that they should not complain. Suck it up, buttercup. They are expected to behave like well behaved girls/woman. Sit quietly in class, don't make a ruckus. That is the progressive dogma I'm seeing and have experienced.

> You don't need to be an enthusiast to buy a truck; it's a nice-to-have even if you just do the occasional home improvement project (yeah you could rent one as needed, but it's easier just to use your own a lot of the time).

The rest of the world would disagree on this. Many countries have the same necessities as the US, and yet trucks are an almost uniquely American concept (same may be true of Canada, I'm not familiar enough). To put it another way, I think the American baseline for "enthusiast" is far higher than elsewhere.

I think it's a combination of: living far apart, multi-car households, high availability of car financing and the deep cultural desire for self-sufficiency. Most countries differ on one or more of these, and there may be other factors here.

No amount of hand waving can get past the fact that all forms of nuclear energy in use these days generates long term waste that must be stored for a very long time.

The time-scale is so long that there are no geological formations that last that long

For the entire period the waste must be monitored to ensure that it does not come into contact with humans, whom it will make very sick.

The waste does not look, taste or smell poisonous so some sort of warning sign has to be placed on it.

That sign must be readable over a time scale many times longer than we have had writing.

What selfishness. Making the next thousand generations pay for our current consumption.

The most expensive energy possible to imagine.

But because it is not our generation, but the next thousand generations (plus) that pay the bill....

Debug/tracing data is a great use case for context, for example. If propagating trace information has to be done manually, then you significantly weaken the utility of cross-service tracing. You'll always be questioning if lack of a trace means it didn't happen, or if it means someone forgot to pass along the trace context.

This applies especially to grpc, where everything is optional.

To be clear, I prefer explicit over implicit. But that doesn't always scale well to large orgs.

He told me about his friend’s roommate who used steroids. 99% of the time he was nice, but steroids gave him major temper issues.

Right. That is my point, so now you are expecting the Amazon delivery manager to take time to go through all the reports with each employee. The employee to remember what was going on at the time and the system to be fair.

Or:

The Amazon manager is either going to fire the employee after a number of reports or keep the reports in their back pocket to use when they need an excuse to fire the employee.

Sorta off-topic, but the submitted Substack link only got a single 'like' on Substack an a single comment despite being viral here, top of front page of HN with 107 points.

What hope does anyone have to make money or success at writing when virality leads to no readers?

Ask HN: Where to Host a FastAPI App
I am looking for something similar to pythonanywhere which is great for WSGI apps but it doesn't support ASGI apps which I need.
Well ok but it seems like the C app you “wasted time” on lasted 20 years. I bet the rest of that stack either moved away from php or added extra languages.

But yes, the reluctance to use other languages and different codebases was also a common argument in all php teams i worked with. People need to understand that a language is a tool not a religion. If using php for the web layer, python for processing background tasks and nodejs for apis makes sense then do so by all means. PHP devs need to understand that.

The PHP apps i built were for large userbases processing billions of pounds and in one case dollars a year. The language if used right is superb.

It’s the type of dev using it that’s usually not, I am sorry to say that.

Awk was always a tool for use in shell scripts and one liners, and is still going strong.

Perl, not so much.
Prior to Perl most text processing was done with unix pipelines and awk/sed/C. So Perl allowed people to stop writing C and also stop using lots of separate programs to do one thing. Many of the awk constructs survive in Perl such as running code once per line, // for regular expressions which implicitly work on the current line, $1/$2/$3 etc. so it's not too difficult to use Perl instead of awk.

Fatty fish, most nuts (that don't have high omega-6, which is inflammatory), fruits high in antioxidants like berries and dark fruit in general, colorful vegetable, cooking with olive/avocado/sunflower oil, *kefir* which is the champion of all good microbiota inducers

As for avoiding: red meat (high in omega-6), gluten (chickpea, rice, lentil pasta instead of wheat), cooking with hydrogenated oils, preservatives, processed food, refined sugar

The lists could be much longer. Look up anti-inflammatory diet aka mediterranean diet. What I will say is adhering to this diet has done as much for my inflammatory condition as all the medication. With some foods I feel their effect right away (pork, too much sugar), with some it sneaks up as I let it slip for a few days. So I stand by it.
I think conclusion followed by reasoning is more common on HN.

Maybe I can suggest a middle-ground that is sort of best of both worlds: put on a podcast that isn't one that you're certain you want to be focused on?

So, I think we're just conflating a bit - ok to have something in your ear while, in reality, you focus on just one thing - dishes. Just remember that you're not going to remember the thing in your ear all that much.

>So, now say you're someone who exists in a left-adjacent social space, who's taken up specific positions that have arrived to you through an "SJW" space - if these are vital ideas that everyone has to adopt for moral reasons, how do you defend them to people who don't exist in any of your usual social spaces? You don't understand these ideas completely, because you absorbed them through social proof and not by convincing arguments.

I find that it does shorten. Of course infinite scroll still happens but with a ruthlessly curated feed, it seems like after about 5-10 minutes of browsing there's a tipping point where relevance drops off a cliff. That's when I know to close the app.

Asking as an interested non-industry-member: where do you see very-large-scale short-term power storage going in the next few years?

Oversimplifying: if we're running at an average of (let's say) about half load (full load at peak, and 1/3 load at all other times, for about 4/9 ~= 45% average 24h load), wouldn't it be useful to run generating stations at or around that figure around the clock and store the off-peak surplus for on-peak use?

Congrats on shipping! I like the uncluttered format.

When there are no search results (e.g. "finance"), the result is a blank screen instead of something like "no podcasts found, try another search". The other thing is, search seems to be based on the podcast title/description instead of individual podcasts.

The final methods seem equivalent to reading a non-float binary fractional number .xyz... from a random bitstream and stopping at the point where further digits will be truncated in the float representation.

eg if x = 1 read 53 more mantissa bits and stop, if x = 0 decrement the exponent and repeat. There's no bias in such a process.

You need to understand the timescales of C.

C89 (aka ANSI C) was "standard" C for years. C99 was released, and largely ignored until the mid-2000's, and then gradually began to grow. As of about 2015, C99 was probably the "standard" C dialect, but there is still a lot of C89 out there, especially where you have niche toolchains.

I wouldn't seriously consider C11 unless you're certain that the toolchain supports it, and there's some feature that you really need. And that's pretty unlikely.

I'll repost here a comment I made on another HN post about cloud dev environments and why I will never be convinced to use them.

> I have never in my career seen a good implementation of cloud development. At every company I've ever worked for, "cloud development" is nothing but a Linux VM that gets provisioned for you in AWS, a file watcher that syncs your local files to the VM, and some extra CLI tools to run builds and tests on the VM. And every time I've used this, the overhead of verifying the syncing is up to date, the environment is consistent between my laptop and VM is the same, all this other mess...every time I end up just abandoning "cloud dev" and doing things on my laptop. God forbid you change a file in your cloud VM and forget to sync in the reverse direction. Not only is local development more reliable, but it's also faster (no remote network hop in the critical path of building things).

> Insane difference between thunderbolt vs competitors. Clearly we are paying for quality here

Not really. It's an apples-to-oranges comparison. The Apple cable is a relatively long 40Gbps cable, with active redriver/retimer due to its length. The competitors are bargain-bin 0.48Gbps cables, intended primarily for charging.

In fact, the NiceTQ cable violates the spec so badly it won't even work in most scenarios. The ATYFUER one is part of an A-to-C cable and is pretty much a textbook example of what such a connector should look like. The AmazonBasics one is also a decent example of a pretty standard low-speed C-C cable.
