   I'm not convinced there is any non derivative asset class that can act as a hedge against inflation. Perhaps some derivative securities are (put options, swaps, maybe even trading currencies?) but these all have a premium and some have

   Take a look at remix.run. It has most of what you list and the rest can be easily added on.

   I'm starting to feel more hopeful about the US's digital infrastructure. If this goes well instant payments will be available with no ACH 2 day withdrawal delay. The IRS is exploring a system for people to file taxes online. The S

   The biggest annoyance with Venmo is taking your money out takes a couple of days. Perhaps Venmo ends up using this to change that and move the money but I'd prefer to skip the middle man and transfer through the fed's service over

   I always appreciate these languages. This reminds me of another one called Vigil that was also on Hacker News: https://github.com/munificent/vigil . Similar to how there are some nice ideas in Ok?, Vigil had some some c

   Thanks for sharing! This looks pretty close to what I had in mind.

   Regarding visualization of codebases, something I've wanted for a long time is a graph of function calls across an entire project. I want to know all the callers and callees of every function. This shouldn't be too hard, we alread

    Okay, I understand the distinction but as I said, it seems to be a distinction without a difference. The idea of REST has evolved beyond the initial definition to include a broader and far more impactful meaning. The abstraction of UI over

    I read the article fully. If an API response included all the possible actions and information that one takes as a follow up to a previous call, how is that any different from providing the equivalent forms and links to additional informati

    Most of the people renting in a large city are doing so because buying is so expensive and unattainable. Not because they prefer renting.

    So if I made an API that would include in its responses other endpoints that can be hit, would that make it RESTful? An example response could be { name: 'john', nickName: 'johnny', relatedEndpoints: [&#x

    After reading the article you linked in another sibling comment's response, can you point to an example of what a true RESTful service looks like. I see how under that definition an API can't be RESTful, but what service then can

    Nearly everything about the forward looking future feels worse off. Health, education, and rent costs seem to never find a ceiling let alone a reason to go down. Home ownership appears unattainable. The climate crisis plagues the world as w

    The running theme underlying this post is having a clear, purposed vision for the company and tying everything that happens to that vision. Providing a vision is the most important task for the management and leadership of a company. It per

    When writing a library, wouldn't the prudent thing to do be to return a Try/Either or have the method accept a function to invoke in case of an error (like an IOC solution)?

    Perhaps this will give the FED the courage to push a full percentage rise in the next meeting instead of 75 bps. Either way, this gives the FED the cover to continue raising rates through next year. Anyone who thinks the FED will lower rate

    I hate using checks. I have little trust in a flimsy piece of paper that you often have to mail to be the method of transaction. It boggles my mind how checks are still so prevalent. When we have tools like Venmo, Zelle, ACH Transfers, Appl

    This "6 months" time frame is different for everyone - I keep over a year in cash. Not even bonds/CDs - just a high yield account. It is instantly accessible when I need it. If and when the market ever drops 30+% and a recess

    I also use vim. I prefer to keep wrapping off and line length go to 80 or so chars. I find it easier to read this way rather than have wrapping turned on. Wrapping isn't nearly as good for my comprehension as a line break after 80 char

    And yet, every sink I've ever used and seen has this issue... I agree there should be a better model but I have never seen one.

    I am always amazed at how poorly designed bathroom sink faucets are. The spout where the water comes out is always so close to the far edge instead of to the middle of the sink. Placing the spout so the water exits in the middle of the sink
