>Is this what the US economists and the federal bank really want?

The linked Steven Miran paper is worth reading.

https://www.hudsonbaycapital.com/documents/FG/hudsonbay/rese...

The TLDR is Miran sold to Trump US can Plaza Accord everyone, devalue USD to reindustrialize US, draw down US debt/commitments, keep exorbitant privelege... all by slapping tariffs (Trump's fav hammer) to scare countries into signing (converting) existing US commitments to "century bonds" in US favour while tying them to US orbit for foreseeable future. Is US strong enough to coerce others to sign on? IMO doesn't matter, this seems like plan specifically tailered to Trump preferences and ego, so as long as Trump thinks so Miran gets the job.

It isn't a question of trusting China more, it is about the determination of whether China or a different government is the bigger threat. If my communication gets me in trouble it is much more likely to be with my local government than the Chinese. That and the Chinese equipment probably being cheaper and better casts a lot of doubt on whether conclusions from 5-Eyes countries are in my interests.

From that perspective it makes a big difference whether the Chinese have mostly secure back-doors or their software is just generally insecure.

The neighborhood that I have to drive through to get from where I live to where I work hates that their precious little neighborhood is used as a commuter route by a lot of people, so they stuck stop signs EVERY. SINGLE. BLOCK.

I make sure to come to a complete fucking stop at every one of those signs. Partially because I hate the feeling of rolling through stop signs, but partially out of spite lol.
Writing user-facing applications in Swift and dropping to C and C++ when required seems to give the best of both worlds.

For me the main benefit of C and C++ is the availability of excellent and often irreplaceable libraries. With a little bridging work, these tend to just work with Swift.

From the perspective I was coming from, I don't think it matters that much, you'll run into the same issues with any of them.

It's about understanding all the things Gnome/KDE/Xfce etc do for you, and how you can set that up differently yourself using components of your choice.
The Blogroll
The old shitty clay lines are what you find in most rentals in SoCal. Then one day none of your toilets flushes and the landlord says you flush too many wipes down the toilet. You argue and they make you pay for a plumber who's like "yea they all do that DONT USE WIPES!!!!!One!!!" And then finally after getting to know every other plumber in town, one offers to run a camera for free and shows you that the main line is fucking falling apart and that's why it keeps plugging up.

TBH sewer main inspections should be required any time someone wants to rent a house out.

UK GHG emissions fall 3.6% in 2024 as coal use drops to lowest since 1666
CO2 is less common today, but has hardly been "superceded." I specialize in energy modeling for industrial refrigeration systems, and have studied several new industrial cold storage projects comparing CO2 to freon and ammonia. Their efficiency is on par with ammonia systems, within a few percentage points.

I'll agree that the equipment is heavy-duty, but disagree if you mean "massive." The energy density of CO2 is so high that suction lines can be 2"-4", 6"-8" is common for ammonia. Modern systems use many (a dozen+) small recip compressors instead of larger HP screw compressors. When all is said and done, CO2 systems are small enough that they are frequently contained to a single rack and placed on the roof of a building, whereas a comparable ammonia system requires its own engine room and a significantly larger footprint.

The biggest opportunity for CO2 to outperform ammonia is in heat recovery and reuse. I had a customer who was exploring selling his (waste) heat as a utility to a neighboring food processor.

Typescript's type system is technically undecidable because you can interpret Turing machines with it:

https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/14833

The flip side is that such systems can still be practically useful. You just have to manage your type complexity, much like you already manage your runtime complexity.

i use uv+torch+cuda on linux just fine,never used the extra flag, i wonder what's the problem here?
Yet everything remotely serious built with React has gotten worse and worse... and apparently the project managers who rely in it and the coders who are used to its obviously major flaws can't think their way out of the wet paper bag that it's become, and see clear to writing a component from scratch. REST, sockets, whatever; the issue isn't how you send data over the wire, push it pull it or when. The issue is: Is what you're doing appropriate for the situation? My bank has started using something like React to show live stock prices in trashy grids. Guess what: That is a horrible idea because it's always wrong in some part of the screen. Let me reload if I have to, or else engineer something actually realtime.

They use these technologies because the recent grads who know how to use them are cheap and replaceable and the assumption is that the tech is uniform enough to make the coders hot-swappable. The product is enshittified garbage, but the managers don't care.
I do agree with you about what the argument actually is, I should have worded it differently. Any time someone brings up Firefox, it always seems to be an ex-Firefox user talking about compatibility issues. Even your GCP, I've personally used GCP with Firefox with no issues, but I have no doubt you spent more time in it than I have. But it does make me wonder if maybe there are platform specific issues with Firefox.

It's still interesting to contrast my personal experience re: Firefox with everyone elses when it comes to the "Manifest V3 ! Abandon ship, but to where?" conversation.

Title is wonky, the UK phased out coal in 2024, GHG emissions are at 1872 levels.
I like the article because it's very similar to the workflow that I developed while working on my first project after quitting my last job. One thing that I would add to "Be Explicit About Your Goal" is that it should be about both your goal and the user's goal. Otherwise it's very easy to hit blind spots that both you, another person, or AI will miss because of bias.

A small related rant is that many large companies with a dedicated team that works on design system don't seem to actually care much about UX. It feels demoralizing because sometimes it feels like many people are just using UX to push some other agenda.
What!?!? Yes PRISM is a mass surveillance program. And it's not metadata, it's piping entire content straight from the target to the NSA, in real time. This involves direct filtered data (such as Skype messages/videos) indirectly handed over by participating companies (which is probably all major tech companies in the US at this point), as well as raw upstream (essentially line tapping) data such as provided via STORMBREW.

Surely it is better than yet another self-promoting mention of his programming language on every unrelated C, Rust or Zig post?
What is your current language of choice, both C and C++ have the same problems as what you just described.

Regarding ownership transfer it is even worse in C, what if you forget, after moving an object out of a variable, to set that variable to NULL, then free that variable, that's a use after free. At least in C++ you have move semantics although it is still error prone. In rust it's a compiler error.

Copy and Clone is the same, and both are opt-in for your own types, by default the only options are move or reference for your own types, in C and C++ by default it is copy, which again leads to use after free in the situations you complained about.

I feel if these are your complaints you will actually benefit from spending some time in Rust.

If your preferred language is higher level languages with GC that is reference by default I encourage you to try any of the systems level programming languages, the things you complain about are things that are important for a language to have constructs for, reference semabtics by default causes many issues, and becomes untenable in the parallel world we live in.

Chrome users are often really familiar with Chrome's devtools and think Firefox is behind because they have trouble finding their way around FireFox's devtools. Truth is that Firefox built a reputation for itself amongst developers specifically because of it's very advanced devtools. Chrome has mostly caught up, but I'd still place Firefox ahead here

Besides that, uBlock Origin, Bypass Paywalls Clean, and AdNauseum working have been enough of an argument for me to be able to convince my friends to make the switch.
How does HN invoke discomfort?
It looks nothing like C++ decades ago, it is effectively a completely different language. I found C++ unusable before C++11, and even C++11 feels archaic these days. Idiomatic C++20 and later is almost a decent language.
Firefox has always been ahead of the game when it comes to devtools. It's pretty recent that Chrome has differentiated itself from Safari-tier crap devtools
If it's not just then change the law!
> At a high level, "covered entities" are health care providers that accept insurance or insurers. That's right, there's a massive caveat on "accepts insurance". You can be a healthcare provider and do not have to comply with HIPAA if you don't accept insurance.

Again, HIPAA continues to be the most colloquially misunderstood law out there.

The rule that makes providers "covered entities" isn't really about insurance, it's about whether they transmit specific HIPAA "transactions" electronically. Now, yes, most of these transactions having to do with providers are thing like claim submissions or pre-authorizations to insurance. But there are other reasons a provider may need/want to send a HIPAA transaction electronically.

My point is that there isn't some sort of "loophole" where providers that don't accept insurance are somehow being sneaky. The whole point of the HIPAA security rule is to protect PHI when it is transferred around to different entities in the healthcare system. If the information is going just between you and your doctor, HIPAA isn't relevant, and that is by design.
Isn't it kind of pointless to generalize the potential longevity of a citizen of nation to a diet these days?
I joined that Discord, did a session, and promptly left afterwards. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for, if even as a Veblen good. I joined a community last year for example that costs hundreds of dollars a month and the price itself acts as a filter for being around the types of people you want to be around.
Thank you for agreeing with me that “years experience in industry” has numerous examples both ways for efficacy and is thus insufficient support for snide assertions of fitness for position as the person I was responding to was making.
Chinese tech ETFs haven’t done very well, basically as anemic as emerging market funds are now (which are heavy into Chinese tech companies anyways). You aren’t making money with these right now, which might mean they are undervalued, but they seem to go boom the bust too quickly to be long term holds.

They've been pretty hard at work to offer services that will let them wean themselves off of Google money. This is how much of their income came from search royalties yearly according to their independent auditor reports

2023: 75.8
2022: 86.0
2021: 87.8
2020: 88.8
2019: [^a]
2018: 95.3
2017: 95.9

[^a]: this was a weird year where their "other" income got a massive one-time boost. I'm not sure what happened. Did they get a $338m grant? If you take that number out (which is normally at or near zero) the percentage is around 91%
Those would be the difficult questions one would be forced to confront ahead of time with this technique. That's not a bug; it's a feature!

They don't have to tell them how to run it. But it would be for the benefit of everyone if they could give grants to Mozilla to help them wean off of Google

Mozilla has been less and less dependent on Google and is now working on a VPN, MDN Plus, and other revenue streams that are also helping it become more independent. But the truth is that if all Google money suddenly stopped today, there would be no more Mozilla
It isn't that hard to setup a secure SFTP server to automate the exchange. But then again this is a post about configuring a S3 Bucket with public access for SSNs.

The issue with Gmail is sending to the wrong email, sending to a broad email list, having people download it to their local machines. And the amount of PHI being transmitted in these files is larger than this s3 bucket.

This seems like a weird time to be making noise about this. Mozilla has been trying to become less Google-dependent for a long time. In this past half decade especially they've made huge strides with less and less of their total revenue coming from Google royalties:

2023: 75.8% of revenues from Google royalties
2022: 86.0%
2021: 87.8
2020: 88.8

I was thinking of buying myself a 14” but after using one it is just too heavy compared to an Air. I’m tempted by an M4 Air (mostly for the 32GB) but may wait a couple of years until we get OLED as my M1 Air is still adequate for my needs.

Getting the right version of PyTorch installed to have the correct kind of acceleration on each different platform you support has been a long-standing headache across many Python dependency management tools, not just uv. For example, here's the bug in poetry regarding this issue: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/6409

As I understand it, recent versions of PyTorch have made this process somewhat easier, so maybe it's worth another try.

This seems like the worst of both worlds. The human still has to do the "boring" work of writing out all the boiler plate stuff, but now there is a machine telling the human what to do. Oh, and the machine is famously not great at big question type stuff while being being much more performant at churning out boilerplate.
What do you consider the difference in their core models.

Rust and C++ both use RAII, both have a strong emphasis on type safety, Rust just takes that to the extreme.

I would like to even hope both believe in 0 cost abstractions, which contrary to popular belief isn't no cost, but no cost over doing the same thing yourself.

In many cases it's not even 0 cost, it's negative cost since using declarative programming can allow the compiler to optimise in ways you don't know about.

It’s really odd, indeed, that people think some reorg and a smooth politician didn’t in fact change the very nature of the surveillance companies.
AVR is almost always 1.8V to 5V range.

AVR Dx has multi-viltage IO, though it's closer to dual power supply.

One port (PortC IIRC) is on a 2nd voltage rail. So you can have one voltage (probably 1.8V) where most of your logic runs, but some I/O can be truly 5V in/out and push/pull.

> Modern UX doctrine aims for the opposite goal -- to keep people "engaged" as much as possible.

In many larger orgs, usually design doesn’t work in isolation. Some of these goals like engagement, retention come from senior leaders of different functions. The design proposals are evaluated and signed off against these goals.

However, when these designs and flows appear on platforms like Mobbin, they often lack context about their design rationale. This can create a network effect where other designers replicate similar designs for their own experiences without fully understanding the underlying reasoning.

The key thing of conda-forge is that it's language (rust/go/c++/ruby/java/...) and platform (linux/macos/win/ppc64le/aarch64/...) agnostic rather than being python only.

If you want you can depend on a C++ and fortran compiler at runtime and (fairly) reliably expect it to work.
At all times, people that are proficient at a green screen terminal application will prefer it to a web based or GUI based experience. They have muscle memory and a lot of codes memorized to switch back and forth from screen to screen extremely fast and exactly how many tabs to hit to fill out a form. It has nothing to do with SPA or whatever is currently new and flashy this has been going on for decades. The fact they have to remove their hand from keyboard to mouse pretty frequently is the biggest productivity loss, then drop down boxes and forms that aren’t very keyboard friendly and the page render times are incredibly slow in comparison.

I myself made this complaint a few times. When I was using medical erp once then again using a banking system. Both you could navigate by typing a chain of commands that would register even if you typed faster than the screens would render in the terminal. Hell, in the banking one I completely automated my job by writing an excel macro and sendkey commands to the terminal, then I sold it to the bank for a small sum after I quit (they asked me how I accomplished so much after realizing 3 people couldn’t handle my workload)
