I lived thought the Brazilian hi inflation periods of the late 80s and early 90s, and I remember some interesting workarounds that people adopted:

- People kept a mental model of prices in dollar, especially for expensive not day to day items (e.g. electronics, appliances, car, real state), and used those dollar values in informal conversation.

- Monthly supermarket run on payday. As money's value would decrease noticeable throughout the month, people would rush to supermarkets on their payday to get the most value. Every month the 1st of the month rush on supermarkets was like you would expect on a pre holiday.

- People held some savings in dollar paper notes, you would lose a bit with the US inflation, but the safety and flexibility was worth it.

- People relied a bit more on barter for big items (e.g. exchange a house for two flats, or a flat for a car plus the difference, ...). Newspaper classified adds listing what you are selling and what kind of item would be acceptable in barter.

- Financing was a problem, new car purchase often used the "consortium" scheme (rotating savings and credit association, or Savings Clubs, Christmas clubs, sousou or even money circles) where a group of people paid installments into a pool and one member would get a car each month.
No Byzantine build config files,. As a start. Dependencies are downloaded to a shared location outside your project on demand instead of a separate npm install step.

TypeScript and esm/cjs usage without crazy syntax (writing modules, consuming cjs at least).

Lintinng and formatting in the box.

Can do shell scripts without package.json and nom install, just a shebang line at the top.

These are some of the things I like better.
Herculaneum, where these scrolls are from, is 75% unexcavated! And it will likely remain this way for some time, as Naples sits right on top of it.

Reasonable inference/ common sense. If I called them for a home break IL in at my house, I'm probably not the suspect.

Anectodically speaking, it has always been extremely helpful not only reading texts and solving problems/exercises, but also:
1) repeating topics out loud and, if there were some formulas, writing them down while doing that
2) explaining something to your friend if they didn't understand it
So, instead of FAA saying "the doors have to stay attached to the fuselage (and the planes are grounded until you prove that's the case)", you want Congress to explicitly spell out every detail about airline safety on the fly as problems occur? That's sure to work out fantastic.
Yeah, but DHH really went off the deep end. https://world.hey.com/dhh/where-next-for-dei-0dc866b4

I used to use their HEY email service until HEY decided to ban all societal and political discussions for employees. Which sparked a huge exit of talented people from their service.

And now DHH went "anti-woke" and it's sad.
As a quick reminder, in most police departments, because of their Union Agreements, Police officers cannot be questioned unless they have their lawyer present (they HAVE to be present), and a union rep, and have to be shown ALL video evidence that has been collected before they can make a statement.

In my experience people in the US aren't envious of the NHS. Most of us are aware that the grass is not green on any side of that fence.

People in the US would like a system that works. That means not waiting 666 days for a CPAP. It also means not having the government strongly nudge you to off yourself with its assistance, as in Canada. And it means not having an ever-increasing number of deaths by waiting, as with the NHS, which typically don't happen here for most kinds of care.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/aug/30/national-tra...

Sadly, healthcare is expensive to provide regardless of who's paying. The NHS is able to provide even that troubled level of care because it pays its medical staff poorly by American standards, which it is able to do because it relies heavily on immigrants, which it is able to do in large part because those immigrants can't come to America and make 3x the salary since we make it incredibly difficult for foreign medical credentials to be recognized here. If we quit doing that tomorrow, the NHS would collapse by Friday.
I deployed 3 projects on Deno last year and I'm planning on launching 2 websites in the next couple of months. Mix of personal projects and some for clients.

Deno Deploy just works, albeit the cold start can be slow but I'm now using an hybrid setup with Fresh routes backed by a CDN.

The dev experience is great. I've used a couple of other solutions similar (Next, Nuxt and vite-ssr-plugin) and I sometimes I need to do somethings manually that would already exist on other platforms but in the end my projects stay simpler.

100% agree that there are different levels of marketing lies, and Gemini was lying about tech where this is just acting/staged.

I was mainly referring to how in both cases the creators are using this "fake authentic" tiktok-style corporate content with actors clearly behaving in non-realistic ways. So damn cringe... but I can see how equating the two causes confusion and I wish I could delete my original comment. HN seems to have timed out the edit window :(
I'd like even more emphasis on JS, personally.
And when deep fakes can easily recreate a face in real time video? doesn't have to be good enough to fool a human, just the face scan which uses a subset of points to match.
You can't control whether there are layoffs, but you can control how to handle one. Update your resume and LinkedIn, so that if/when you need to look for a new job you're already ready. Also do go out and socialize. If you need to justify it, think of it as networking. There's a good chance that the people you meet, may be able to help you find a new job or intro you to someone.
I think I'd take a 20% pay cut to go back to the office for a job I like as much as the one I have now. Assuming 100% of coworkers were also in the office.
That sounds like a pretty good life! But I think for someone 20 years your junior at the beginning of their career, they probably should be pushing themselves pretty hard.

But even for those of us who are more established, I think it can be a good thing to dial back our social lives from time to time and invest in building and maintaining our career capital. That is especially true if you find work boring. It is totally fine to be bored at work for a time, but long term that is a sign of stagnation. Stagnation, in turn, can leave you in a vulnerable place when market conditions turn for the worse.
I just ignored his question and immediately handed him the documents he required without any resistance. I didn't talk back or question him or even remotely cop an attitude. I'm sure I got lucky that the cop didn't feel like pressing further with his gotcha script. I am white which probably helped immensely too. Unfortunately that still matters--I can acknowledge my privilege.

I watch a lot of those YouTube traffic stop videos (they are addicting), and a lot of suspects in these videos talk themselves into (or attitude themselves into) an arrest. Not to mention incriminating themselves. You know the ones who don't make it onto YouTube? The ones who shut the fuck up and probably end up much better off.

Are you meaning there should be no presumption of innocence, or are you meaning the lying should only be allowed after they've been convicted?

Even if they do, the real question is whether false convictions will plummet more than true convictions. There are an awful lot of people who "confessed" to crimes didn't commit.

As others have suggested, be kind to yourself. Inspiration comes and goes, and the key is to ride it when it comes.

I used to feel a strong need to work on side project early in my career, that I had to keep up with trends and test out new languages (software developer by trade). Since having a kid I realized how precious little time I have and discovered the need to feel in control of what I spend it on. If I want to zone out one evening watching Youtube videos, that's ok, as long as I decide to do so.

Last year I had long periods of time where the only thing I'd do in my "me time" was reading. I plowed through most of Ryk Brown's Frontiers Saga (read 40 something books before summer), then completely stopped reading for the rest of the year and dove deep into teaching myself PCB design (made a SNES Macropad and put it on Tindie). Right now I've slipped into 3d printing and mechanical CAD, but the goal is to get back into electronics and tackle another keyboard design.

The key I think is to find projects that really interest you. Doing something in your spare time because you feel you "should" do them is a recipe for failure and misery. For me it was abandoning the idea that I'd learn to play the guitar and get fluent in Spanish, if I ever get a true passion for either there will always be time in the future.

One last thing to keep in mind is that what ends up on Hacker News is perhaps not your Average Joe. The internet is great for bringing people together, but it's easy to get sucked into a bubble thinking you have to be like John Carmack or you might as well give up.
Interesting.

Re: #2

How is it a free speech issue when someone kicks you off their property? It has nothing to do with speech so why would the first amendment be involved?
If you wanted to build a bomb to blow up a society, the explosive and containment vessel you need are:

1. People with a lot of free time on their hands.

2. Those same people not feeling they have accessible ways to spend their energy on something meaningful, rewarding, and socially esteemed.

If people are prevented from feeling actualized and valued, and they have the time to dwell on it, they will burn down the walls for even a tiny shred of chance that the resulting cinders will leave room for a future society that gives them a better chance.

I think Gamergate, 4chan, MAGA, Christian millennialist, doomsday preppers, all of that, has this as the fundamental throughline. We have a whole lot of younger and older men in the US who feel like society has taken away their means of generating esteem, and all they've been given in return is distracting videogames.

Now, whether or not they are correct in their belief is a separate question. But many do believe that, and that belief fuels a lot of the unrest we see in the US. I can't tell you how many Trump supporters I've talked to over the years that voted for him specifically because is a bull in a China shop. They knew he was chaos walking, and they wanted him to tear down institutions. They didn't think he'd be a good President. They wanted a bad President to break the system.

Again, whether they would actually be happier in a world where our cultural institutions have been shattered is a separate question. But they believe it, which reflects something about how little they think our current institutions value them.

Do you have sources that detail the different "tiers" of racism? Is that even a real thing based on anything besides subjective opinion?

Don't all forms of racism fall under the core definition:

"Discrimination or prejudice based on race."

Shouldn't the end-game be to simply eradicate all forms of it? Instead of splitting hairs and starting infighting among those with that same goal?
I'm curious about the environmental impacts of this deposit vs the copper sulfite mine we've been debating in Minnesota near Lake Superior / Boundary Waters.
Swift is doing it, so rust can as well.

There's also degrees of interop - there's "rust can call a c++ dylib directly" but there's also "rust and c++ can be co-compiled". The latter is the critical path for migrating large projects from C++ to safer languages, because what you really want is to be able to replace your implementation class-by-class or file-by-file. Without a good interop story you have to essentially replace huge amounts of code in a single shot, and as the minimum subset increases in size the plausibility of successfully completing such rewriting gets lower and lower. It's a large part of why despite originating rust, mozilla has been unable to rewrite gecko in rust.

Creating a C wrapper is not a solution for the problem of migration.
It doesn't work in practice. Everything ends up siloed and nobody can compares notes even if they think to do so.

Snowden was a network admin with access to backups or something IIRC so compartmentalization does little. He stole the parent container.

At some level, you have to trust people. Mandatory job rotation goes a long way. You don't want people becoming familiar enough with any system to learn how to exploit it. Move them around to change the rules of their environment faster than they can find loopholes, and occasionally change the tech stack to nullify retained knowledge.

And the access log? Lol. Best way to figure out who's onto you is to take a peek at the list of who's asking about you and what their interest is. You've just compromised the investigative team in implementing this.

The most irritating resume-updating event going on at my own job right now is an arbitrary shift to using retarded APT-style codenames for individual humans under investigation.

It used to be bad enough if the subject was trans and changed names halfway through the investigation, but now all identities are obfuscated by some FozzyBear or WakaWaka bullshit. It makes presenting a coherent timeline impossible.

Ideally there'd be a CMS that implements EAV row-level access controls for case management so we can selectively disclose case intel to other teams but I haven't found a good one we can afford.
It's truly amazing how hard they're fighting against the idea of actually telling people what things cost in an honest and transparent fashion. It doesn't speak well of their intentions.

For sure, we found that to start with something useful from day 0 we needed to be able to completely represent any possible circuit. Starting by just providing a cleaner way to write out a netlist is just the beginning.

We are working to add an equations solver to our compiler over the next few weeks, which will allow you to do things like set the ratio of a divider and total resistance, then have the solver pick optimal values based on availability, cost etc.

I think that gets really exciting when you start to be able to link these together, its trivial from there to directly set the output voltage of a power supply in volts, which will internally configure the feedback resistor divider.

Also verified designs will be super important. Its a little crazy that the status quo is you will almost inevitably make a silly mistake on your first spin. I am imagining designers will go off, make a new circuit, build and test it then make a PR to merge it into main.
In 1990, if you had 3 kids, it could easily fit in a Renault 19.

I've always designed my life around being able to get everywhere I want by bike or on foot and it's fantastic. I'm 40 and never learned to drive a car. I live in the US in Portland, OR and grew up in very rural Florida.

It's counterintuitive but my housing costs have also been way lower than most people b/c I look for small and inexpensive apartments instead of costlier bigger houses. Plus the cost of bike maintenance and occasional bus tickets are a pittance compared to even the cheapest car.
Apparently it as high as 150t of ore per 1t of copper, and yeah it's an environmental disaster. [1] I can't help but feel this discoveries are such a mixed blessing for developing countries, when even Western countries do such a bad job of controlling for bad environmental outcomes. [2]

As with rare earths, it feels like a good way to get clean outcomes at home and export and concentrate the environmental implications abroad. [3]

One could also say that ownership is theft: you're putting up a fence and preventing other people from using a resource, backed with a gun.

More reasonable people acknowledge that there are obligations both ways: Society has an obligation to the individual (private rights and ownership), and individuals have an obligation to society (taxes and limitations on what you can do to private property).

I do agree that sales taxes seem kind of weird and arbitrary way to collect society's obligations. Personally I prefer something along the lines of Georgeism, where only property is taxed. This makes the ownership / taxation thing symmetric.
I founded a social network website in the late 90ies which was mainly successful in Germany (till Facebook showed up to the party and steamrolled all other sites) but still lives on, albeit tiny nowadays. My now wife was a friend of my ex on that website and asked her if they can play some Mario Kart online. My ex told her that I took the Wii with me during separation, so she messaged me instead and we started playing Mario Kart regularly while cursing each other in Skype.

A while later she needed a place to sleep for a longer visit to my home town, I offered my sofa for that time and during that week we lived together we noticed we're very compatible - rest is history.
Agreed. This plus operating at a loss to gain marketshare make bootstrapping seem like a tough road ahead.
