This may be an issue for very small draws, like a TV remote. This can be moot in situations of constant recharge and only staying without any recharge for 2-3 days, rarely, like in utility-scale renewable generation (solar, wind).

They seem to cost much more per kWh than LiFePO4 batteries though.
> people who own penthouses they've never seen. At some point practicality just goes out the window

This isn't a matter of practicality but economics. The penthouse collectors don't need parking. A high rise with parking is practically screaming that it's a vanity project--the economics that demand a high rise don't work if you have to add dead space for cars. The math only balances if your building is entirely penthouses and valet space for sports cars.

I can see thousands of examples of “tower in a park” style residential neighborhoods online in dozens of different countries. Are they all fake?
> Hrmm, so you do need a car after all.

Not a car that's exclusive to one person though.

You're delibrately overlooking that part and that doesn't reflect well on you.
Whether something is acceptable depends very heavily on cultural norms. If lots of people do it without condemnation, that is compelling evidence there is a cultural norm which accepts it. That's a cromulent argument.
Parkland that is not often used to capacity that has less people near it would naturally also have less crime from people within it, because there’s not many people to commit crimes nearby in the first place. E.G. Los Angeles National Forest

Parkland that is not often used to capacity that has a lot of people near it would likely have more crime, because you’ve essentially created a glorified alleyway. E.G. Central Park in the 70s, when you didn’t want to be nearby it near sundown.

Central Park is a good case study of this phenomenon, because it’s now one of the most heavily used parks in one of most densely populated areas in the world, and billionaires pay premiums to live next to it. That didn’t always used to be the case, and it was considered dangerous.
Alexander doesn't like sky scrapers, but he absolutely does not advocate for suburbia, at least not the the car-dependent hellscape you presumably have in mind.

You can archive considerable density without skyscrapers. In fact we've been building vibrant, walkable cities without skyscrapers for most of history.
It's not a practical problem in practice. The approach everyone else uses is fine, but everybody else is not writing GUI programs for Windows. If you are writing GUI programs for Windows, you print debug output using OutputDebugString and/or to a probably-optional log file.

> you do need a car after all

Straw man. We were debating dedicated parking.

> so you do need a car after all. It's really amusing listening to people from the Bay Area

The Bay Area is car centric--most people have a driver's license. I live in Wyoming and lived in New York. You need a car in Wyoming. You don't in Manhattan. High rises make sense in the latter. They'd be stupid here.

If you're dense enough to make high rises necessary, you're too dense for cars to make sense. Parking for high rises is a dead giveaway the project is being pursued for appearances. (San Francisco's skyscrapers are dominated by commercial buildings that double as advertising.)

Bullshit, I'm from the Puget Sound and it hardly covers any of the good trails in the Cascades, nor could it do so practically if service were ever expanded.
I am not the person you asked, but it seems to me the key difference is concentration of accessible resources. If so, the areas where the trails behind your house intersect with wealthy suburban or urban areas are the areas most likely to conceal would-be robbers.
It seems silly to say this is the idea behind DEI rather than what folks may feel is the consequence (I neither don’t care if it is or isn’t”).

Those books shaped how I interact with other people, which is:

* I will move forward. I am not waiting for you to make a decision. If you need time then it’s on your own time and can catch up at your liability, otherwise it’s absolute empathy and self-sacrifice in all things.

* As for other people I want to avoid people that state firm conclusions lacking evidence or measures. I consider that stupidity but it could just be bias or autism. Either way it’s a problem. If people do that and can’t help but talk about themselves then they are definitely either autistic or a sociopath. If those people are charming then they are definitely sociopaths.
thanks for the thoughtful reply. :)

I agree, it’s not a magic fix for all issues! But it does address one major component, the physical activity part. The other is diet, which is a separate issue of course.
I suddenly feel old. I would have thought the hipster PDA was like a decade ago, but wow, 2005 and LifeHacker. Memories. And the start of Ruby on Rails....
I’ve been developing professionally since 1996. It’s different this time.

The first crash happened in 2000 not because most of the ideas were bad. But because enough potential customers weren’t on the internet.

Things didn’t recover until 2009-2010 when high speed internet was ubiquitous and more people started having computers in their pockets with high speed internet and the mobile app stores.

Between that time was the housing crash and the entire economy was in a free fall.

But, the Big Tech companies were hiring like crazy post COVID and it’s clear they don’t need that many workers. They definitely aren’t going to be doubling in head count over the next 10 years.

On the startup VC funding side, VCs only fund startups as a Ponzi scheme hoping they can either pawn their money losing startups on the public market - who has gotten wise to it - or via acquisitions and regulators are now much more leery of big acquisitions.

There are too many developers chasing too few jobs and with remote work, competition has gotten stiffer.

Just today someone posted on LinkedIn that they posted a job opening on LinkedIn, didn’t use Easy Apply, forced people to answer a questionnaire to slow down submissions and still got over 1000 applications in 3 hours.

AI is already removing the need to hire junior developers, slowly it will be good enough to lower the number of “senior” [sic] framework developers doing boilerplate.

Did I mention by hook or by crook, the federal government will be hiring less people and getting rid of employees and they will be flooding the market? All of those “dark matter developers” that were content with their government jobs are now going to be competing for private sector jobs

In general, I’d say there’s too much superficial flexibility but not enough control.

- I wrote this elsewhere: I find their approach to memory management/mutable arrays really hits the worst of both worlds (manual memory management and garbage collection). You end up trying to preallocate memory but don’t actually have control over memory allocations. I find the dynamic type system exacerbates this.

- It’s a very big language, even in the IR. So proper program transforms like mapping functions or autograd are quite difficult to implement.

- Static compilation is really hard, which makes it a non-starter for a lot of domains where it could have made inroads (robotics, games, etc).
Well, you seem pretty certain about all this. Most architects and planners I know are less so. I’ve worked with hundreds, and I know very few who would look me in the eye and say, “Yes, I’d rather raise my kid downtown in a high rise over a tree-filled neighborhood next to a park.”

Alexander isn’t making arguments about economic efficiency, but about what’s good for the human animal. I’d be curious what data you have to disprove this.

Now, if you’re talking about his specific claims like “the higher you are in a building the crazier you get,” yeah, I don’t think much of that supposed data is useful.
Do you not see the contradiction in what you're saying? "LLMs will replace us all... I can't find a use for LLMs".

Get to replacing us already. It's a gold rush, someone needs to get rich selling shovels.
Did you make a bid in an auction or place the minimum offer? Anyone can list their domains for sale on godaddy with a minimum offer and optionally a buy it now price.
No worries! Its fair criticism
I need this on a T-shirt.
The thing is the total amount of work to do keeps increasing. We're putting firmware in lightbulbs now.

When everything includes software, someone needs to write and maintain that software.

If software becomes cheaper, we'll just use even more of it.

Just be aware than while HN appears to carry a wide range of interesting topics and discussions both the community and mods do have biases. It presents an incomplete and skewed perspective and has to be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

A lot of submissions are flagged every day. Some of them are well offtopic, repetitive or judged to be too biased or political and clearly if the site allowed all submissions it would break.

The act of curation is a form of censorship and while it is often justified, many posts about topical developments that have a technical/financial angle, perhaps even posted by technical/financial media or bloggers and featuring people who are well known in the technical/financial field appear to be getting flagged in ways that could appear to be politically motivated.

Pointless outrage over trivialities isn't good for us but when issues of genuine concern arise we shouldn't go out of our way to avoid them because they make us feel bad. We are supposed to feel bad when things are bad as it provokes us to action. The media/tech industry exploits our behavioral quirks to keep us engaged on their platforms but the fatique caused by the fire hose could numb us to real dangers. Disconnecting is very good for personal wellbeing but not to the point of dangerous ignorance.
Whew, so we've got CreateWaitableTimer, CreateTimerQueueTimer from another comment, and now CreateThreadpoolTimer as well. But that's not all - we already had WM_TIMER from the article.

TFA says POSIX has one type of timer, and it sucks. Windows has 4 types... but how many of them suck? I've used CreateWaitableTimer, and it was alright. I do know WM_TIMER sucks, but I've never used CreateTimerQueueTimer or CreateThreadpoolTimer. So, worst case is a draw. I'd like to see Windows winning here though.
> Here in Seattle

Most Seattleites have a driver’s license. Most Manhattanites do not. Residential skyscrapers probably don’t make sense for most of Seattle.
Some guesses:

1. A low traffic urban park still has some traffic, and criminals want reasonable waiting times. You might wait all day on a hiking trail.

2. Escape routes. Harder to make a clean getaway on a trail. Often one way out, a single trail head, and then a drive. That's another thing, you probably need a car. In an urban park you can vanish back into the city from multiple exit points.

3. Crimes of opportunity. Most muggings aren't planned out far in advance. Driving to a hiking spot and patiently waiting isn't the psychological place typical criminals are operating from. Serial killers, maybe... and sometimes those killings do happen in secluded hiking areas.
I mean, yes, some stupid people are of that opinion.
I'll add it as a source too.
Concur with everyone else. It’s a scam. I could explain all the scams they run but to save you time: it’s a scam, never ever ever use them. Your life will be so much better.

It depends on what you want to do, of course, but for back end servers the Rust ecosystem is relatively immature. There is nothing comparable to ZIO in Rust world, for example.
I had a poor experience with Erdos Miller. I'm willing to take the repetitional
hit because I think it's important that people go in with eyes open.

I was approached by the CEO of Erdos Miller to do some data science work on anomaly detection/failure prediction, and signal recovery down mud pipes in drill holes.

Over a period of two weeks we signed an NDA, and discussed the problems. I laid out several approaches to solving the anomaly detection/failure prediction problem, including specific algorithms to use (or not!). This is my bread and butter work, with hard won experience.

On Friday the 31st I had a call and a new fairly vanilla anomaly detection problem was discussed, which he (The CEO) wanted to go ahead with immediately. He was asking about explicit approaches to solving this, which I discussed. We agreed to start next week - He confirmed that we were unequivocally going ahead, rates were discussed without pushback. I sent a rate card after the conversation.

On Monday I emailed to sort out logistics for data access, billing, etc. He promptly replied that he was taking the project in house. Now I've seen this post listing exactly the problems I had laid out solutions to.

Erdos Miller went back on an explicit agreement they made on the very next business day, pumped me for hard earned experience, and took a free option on my time (This entire week is un-billable, possibly more). Finally he'll have a leg up on structuring the work for these two roles should he fill them. That leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
I agree with you. I just don't know what to do anymore.
Godaddy is a sham, but not a scam. This is normal behavior for a domain registrar. It's called Privatized Whois.
> They'll buy it out from under you if it generates enough attention.

Is there actually evidence of this happening? I always thought this was an urban legend.
Yes. I live in Los Angeles. Huge swaths of our entire city are ripe for development— the safest areas are often some of the least densely populated, and that needs to change.

Ask HN: Crypto payment gateways and the new travel rule advice?
In the UK and EU, the new crypto "travel rules" are now in full force across almost all exchanges.

When transferring any cryptocurrency to another party, you must provide their name, country, and city. Some exchanges may even require additional information like passport numbers, though I haven't experienced this yet.

I've encountered these requirements with both Coinbase and Revolut.

While it's one thing to make a Bitcoin transfer to a friend or business, it's unclear how this system is supposed to work with crypto payment gateways.

These gateways provide a crypto address and wait for a set time to receive the payment. If delayed, the transaction times out since the price of Bitcoin will have changed—which is understandable.

The issue arises when exchanges like Coinbase require Travel Rule information that the payment gateway doesn't provide—causing the exchanges to pause the transfer until you provide it. In some cases up until now people are just filling in random info.

Revolut's response was simply that I must provide the personal details or risk losing my transferred money.

I'm seeking insights from anyone working in this sector about how this problem is being addressed. I've reached out to several payment gateways, but they seem confused since this regulation doesn't appear to be implemented in the US, where most gateways operate.
What do you define as a “senior developer”? Someone who “codez real gud” and can pass “leetCode hard” interviews or the tech industries definition of a senior developer who operates at a certain level of scope, impact and “dealing with ambiguity” and can deliver business value?

The former type of senior developer will be a commodity and see their pay stagnate or even go down as companies find cheaper labor, AI and more software development gets replaced with SaaS offerings especially with enterprise devs.
it seems underappreciated just how much permanent cultural destruction has been caused by this shift by Republicans to just lying about almost everything almost all the time. sure, politicians have lied about stuff in the past, and massaged the truth and spun, but Trump & Co just get up every day and tell you the sky is made of bananas and water is naturally fluorescent pink.

it would be bad enough untangling that, but something like a third of US adults have just completely checked out of consensus reality and either believe all that or just think the banana-ness of the sky and natural luminosity of water is some sort of debatable value that's been hitherto suppressed by woke muslims transes or something.
There a comment or tweet by the Namecheap CEO saying that something like this would be so obvious and a breach of trust that this would cause more damage to any registrar than making some money on a domain sell. Not worth it.
android also insecure?
That might be hilarious.

(I won't know for sure until I can find someone to explain the zoomer lingo.)

There are a couple Twitter personalities that definitely fit this description.

There is also a much bigger group of people that haven't really tried anything beyond GPT-3.5, which was the best you could get without paying a monthly subscription for a long time. One of the biggest reasons for r1 hype, besides the geopolitical angle, was people could actually try a reasoning model for free for the first time.
Sadly in a fit of rage I nuked my .jj folder and went pure Git. I figure the files weren’t deleted, but they were easy to re-deploy. Also the jj command it self hung and I probably made things even worse and more corrupted by killing the process. It was a hot mess for sure!
Yeah, and when my grandpa was a kid, instead of a 20 minute drive to the neighboring town, it literally took them three days on foot because of all the hills, sloughs, and rivers. Cars and their associated infrastructure are a modern miracle, and the luddites opposed them are extremely foolish.
I wonder if Zedeus would be willing to list some reasons why they have decided to ditch Nim. 6 years is a long time using a language, I'm sure there's some useful feedback.

Is there any chance for me (a student) to become like this? I'm fine with coding changing (I just love computing) but I'm scared of the entirety of the field being completely torched.
The problem is when they don't know that their adversaries know about those exploits...

I agree that "accident" is an unfortunate term. However, these cars are not self driving. The person is at fault.
This whole thing is, at it's core, an architectural question. It's quite simple: How much should the C code have to change to allow better Rust support?

Despite his position as "Benevolent dictator for life", Linus doesn't really have the chutzpah to stand up and say "we're doing it this way"[1], so these sorts of questions try to get resolved through petty bickering and namecalling instead (which is the opposite of consensus-building and healthy debate and just makes people more entrenched and unwilling to compromise).
