> They wanted high rates because ERM was the main policy goal of the prime minister.

Again: no they didn't. They didn't "want" high rates. You understand how dependent the Conservatives were on home owners and the structure of UK mortgages?

The reason ERM was the main policy goal of Major was inflation. The Bundesbank was the immediate cause but the reason they got into that position was inflation (if you read the research, even the die-hard Lawson fans believe that the ERM set the stage for the 1990s).

Yes, the nature of the relationship between the central bank and the govt determines the response to those events. Do you realize that there have been substantial changes in this relationship since the Fed was created? The Fed is politically unable to respond. I don't understand the relevance of your point about expensive assets...that determines nothing, the market will go up and down regardless of anything.
Actually I missed a few things. Both sides should be allowed to do the following: Refuse to answer a question (except asking the police to see a copy of a warrant or their police identification (they can refuse you to touch their police identification though)), or claim to not know something or forget something (even if that is untrue). And if someone nevertheless says something untrue even in a way which is not permitted, if there is a reasonable chance to believe it would be inadvertent, then they are forgiven (and if they are the police, may be allowed to try again later (if the person they are interrogating is still a suspect), even though the first attempt at arresting them didn't count).
Like many others mentioned, they don't completely stop nagging you simply because you subscribe.
No, they forked the whole thing, and essentially destroyed the concept that cryptocurrency ledgers were immutable.
Linus Trovalds didn't just create a kernel but also a version control system and even a scuba diving planning tool (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsurface_(software)).

In the latter, he also touched some GTK code: https://github.com/torvalds/subsurface-for-dirk/commit/c0adf...

Trovalds has much more breadth than you give him credit for.
So, is it only two paragraphs, or do I not understand how to use their website?
> A rough but well integrated auto-router

If you're depending on an auto-router, you're doing it wrong.
> >At that level of depth you just hand it over to the CSS champ or the DB champ.

> Developers are blaming other developers for not knowing everything they do because businesses forced them to learn everything (Fullstack), but that's actually a bad arrangement and somehow the solution is to just punish the developers more rather than hiring DBAs.

If the organization views developers as cogs or something like a software assembly line, the desire for interchangeable, unspecialized workers seems like a natural consequence.
Do you get results for goland? I don't have experience with it in particular, but to me it seems Google considers CLion, Rider and IDEA interchangeable.
Does the .us TLD mean you are only interested in US users?
Great video. Exploding rockets and failed attempts give plenty to talk about and get excited about.

But Spacex have already launched a rocket and landed it in a similar way as they are doing here.

Ok, so they are flying it somewhere else, GPS'ing, and landing it somewhere else.

I enjoyed the video but ... just seems like a small progression in the grand scheme of things.

Cool, but no cigar. This time.
If the Bitcoin network is valuable to someone, they would likely invest to keep it running and secure. I would be more than willing to pay to run my mining equipment (bought with previously-mined bitcoins, about $1/day to run) to keep the network up.

Speculation has driven the cost of mining way up, but the speculation isn't inherent to mining. If the network was run entirely on a "charity" basis, the costs to mine would be much, much lower.
Linux Kernel Development by Robert Love is an exceptional book.

Great. Sorry about the bounce. I've read the comment and resent my email with an alternate email.
I believe the current Xen hypervisor uses about 128MB now, but yeah — I sincerely doubt it's out of strict necessity, but out of wanting to ensure not to overload each machine with too many nodes. They wouldn't bump down to 22GB because I assume their mobos are dual-channeled.

Or, they're fibbing a bit by using that "on average" language, and they actually have more like 42 or 44 nodes, but wanted the nice round numbers for the marketing copy.

Edit: Oh, I didn't check the username. I imagine you'd know better than I.
It doen't seem like energy effeciency and the oil spill have anything to do with each other. It just seems as if the global warming crowd are trying to use it to advance an agenda. The fact is you can look around your house and come to find out that most of the stuff you use is affected by oil..not just the energy. The problem is: this article is right to a point, we didn't need to drill that far off the coast. There is oil on land and in shallower water but the "environmentally friendly" people deemed it necessary that in order to get the oil we need and still be more energy independent, we must take more risk and drill in deep water. For people who like statistics, you should keep digging for more articles that deal with how much oil per water is actually there and how much the people in the gulf coast depend on the jobs that are directly effected by the oil companies.
Then the issue isn't about the LLC but that only three out of the six original founders are active. I would try to find a way to reduce the 80% ownership of the LLC and give the difference to the active founders. Or to find a way to buy out the three non-active partners. If that's in fact the objective, then keeping the LLC might actually be quite useful. Keep in mind that when you start to make money, all proceeds distributed to the LLC is subject to self-employment tax, something that might not be optimal for the non-active founders. In short, find a knob and start turning. Good luck.
Our use of oil no more explains the Deepwater Horizon accident than our use of fertiliser explains the Texas City Disaster.

This is clearly a rabbit hole of exceptions and ifs, but this somehow doesn't apply to music as well, based on the recent judgement over Blurred Lines (the song).
I'm pretty sure copyright isn't everything in this.

Trademarks seem a much higher legal barrier for example.
The Bindmans website [1] has the wording of the injunction.

The national security exemption allows the authorities to continue to do whatever they please (specifically: inspect, copy, disclose, transfer, distribute) with the materials seized from Miranda, provided it is done "for the purpose of the protection of national security"

It is trivial for the authorities to seize this exemption, as they have a reasonably held belief the material poses a threat to national security.

If they don't use the former exemption, they can use the latter, which allows them to play the terrorism card.

> I'm not sure how emergency care can work well though without some third party to help set fair pricing.

And how much of healthcare spending does emergency care constitute? There's no reason not to drop pre-paid plans for non-emergency services.
"Take the examples of Lasik eye surgery or cosmetic surgery. These services are not covered by insurance. Providers compete on the basis of quality, outcomes and price. And prices have continually dropped as quality and services have improved—unlike the rest of health care."

Sadly, most people forget this. They think that healthcare is somehow immune from the laws of economics, that it is "special."
Sometimes I wonder. When Seal Team Six stormed his compound, an attack launched from an occupied into a sovereign country and killed him although he was unarmed. I wonder whether he felt dread or achievement.

>"In computing, ioctl (an abbreviation of input/output control) is a system call for device-specific input/output operations and other operations which cannot be expressed by regular system calls. It takes a parameter specifying a request code; the effect of a call depends completely on the request code. Request codes are often device-specific. For instance, a CD-ROM device driver which can instruct a physical device to eject a disc would provide an ioctl request code to do that. Device-independent request codes are sometimes used to give userspace access to kernel functions which are only used by core system software or still under development.

The ioctl system call first appeared in Version 7 of Unix under that name. It is supported by most Unix and Unix-like systems, including Linux and macOS, though the available request codes differ from system to system. Microsoft Windows provides a similar function, named "DeviceIoControl()", in its Win32 API."

PDS: Observation: ioctl() -- and its relatives on other OS's such as DeviceIoControl() -- in effect provide a secondary API/syscall interface -- on top of the existing API/syscall interface...

A meta-API, or meta-syscall interface, if you will...

[...]

>"Other vectored call interfaces

Devices and kernel extensions may be linked to userspace using additional new system calls, although this approach is rarely taken, because operating system developers try to keep the system call interface focused and efficient.

On Unix operating systems, two other vectored call interfaces are popular: the fcntl() ("file control") system call configures open files, and is used in situations such as enabling non-blocking I/O; and the setsockopt() ("set socket option") system call configures open network sockets..."

Location-based pay is an unfortunate necessity.

If it didn't exist, companies just wouldn't get any employees in San Francisco, nobody would be willing to work for the wage. Obviously they're not going to pay SF wages in the rest of the world. I mean a company like FaceBook could, they certainly have the means. But they wouldn't. The shareholders wouldn't let them, due diligence and all. They have to maximise their return to the shareholders.

If I would be earning what I do in Barcelona and living in SF I wouldn't be able to even pay the rent. If wages for the same jobs had to be the same everywhere, it would mean the lowest common pay would quickly become the standard. Effectively all IT jobs would be moved to India. Nobody would bother working in the US for that pittance so there'd be no point hiring for it.

So obviously cost of living factors into it. It makes sense that this goes both ways. Otherwise someone from SF moving elsewhere would be making a lot more than their local colleagues and that wouldn't be fair either.

In fact when I moved to Barcelona from Ireland (with the same company) my pay was reduced somewhat. I had to sign a new contract with the local entity against local conditions. It was a bit of a bummer but on the other hand, I did gain a lot of quality of life. Great weather. Free healthcare that's actually good. Public transport that actually works (so no more car expenses). In the end it was a good move.

If you fight against this you will only increase the race to the bottom (and to Asia). It's this very thing that keeps areas like San Francisco viable as an IT hub. If you're expecting them to honour the juicy SF pay everywhere you won't see that. Even if they do you'll be the first to get axed when budgets need cutting.

What you see in general is that pay is indexed to local standards so you get the same standard of living for the same job in each place. At least this is what my employer does. Which is fair enough in my point of view. Money is a means to live, not a goal on its own.

Would it really be fair to have people living in one place scraping pennies to get by and others living like a king while doing the same job?
When I look at my favorite'd videos on Youtube, a huge fraction of the ones from before 2010 are gone (example: https://i.ibb.co/31vb8nd/Screen-Shot-2021-02-14-at-2-31-56-P...). OTOH a lot of the things that I found funny in 2009 now seem cringy to me, so the gaps in the playlist save me from uncomfortable introspection.

Like it, really needs up vote buttons.

Also the message that someone has up voted X is quite annoying, I’d suggest making that a lot more subtle. Maybe convert it into a subtle animation effect on the circle badge - maybe a short subtle glow.

Keep animations subtle - dial everything down a notch or two.

Keep up the good work though - I like what you’ve done so far.
Paper link?
It's amazing that people in Iceland knew people in Greenland and people in Greenland almost definitely knew about North America, but somehow most people in Europe had no idea that North America existed.

People must have been so much more comfortable feeling vaguely curious, but not ever satisfying that curiousity.
Sounds really interesting for the rock climbing community, which constantly suffers tendon injuries in their hands.

Well, not every western country has horrible income equality. In the US, median disposable income has been pretty flat the past few decades.

In Sweden, the median household disposable income doubled in the last 20 years.

Jason, the author of this terminal, has a great podcast about programming with a cohost called Programming Throwdown.
"I don't see college kids being encouraged to drop out and make a fortune in tech. In fact what I do see are people being encouraged to graduate at the top of their class so they can get jobs at highly profitable FAANG companies."

Except for those encouraged to skip college entirely...
Here's some perspective. If you had said this instead:

> Maybe it's just me but I find this language pretty clean and nice looking. And regardless of its technical disadvantages it may have, that's enough reason to use it. There are too few languages out there, and we really need more like Nim.

... I still would have down-voted you.

It's a content free comment that doesn't constructively contribute anything. It's the kind of comment I'd expect to be top-voted in an /r/programming thread.
I agree with (most of) the description of the problem - the rise of conspiracy theories online - and agree it's a serious issue. I think the proposed solution would make the problem much, much worse, though.

"What are they trying to hide by controlling what we say and censoring our attempts to expose the truth?"
This seems like a decent review:

http://www.jaoa.osteopathic.org/content/106/6/342.full

"Is there a causal relationship between running and osteoarthritis? The current data are based on small studies, and their results are often unclear."

I've previously come across the cited studies by Lane, "at 9-year follow-up, the results were the same; there was no difference in the incidence and progression of knee and hip osteoarthritis in runners and nonrunners", but had not seen Sohn's comparison of college varsity runners and swimmers, "There is no association between moderate longdistance running and the future development of osteoarthritis. Furthermore, the evidence suggests that neither heavy mileage nor the number of years running are contributory to the future development of osteoarthritis."

On the other hand, Schmitt et al found that "Osteoarthritis of the knee joint is rare in former elite marathon runners. The risk of osteoarthritis of the hip joint seems to be higher than in control subjects who do not engage in much sport."

We will look to explain it better on the homepage - Our unique selling point is the ability to create private networks which can be joined by trusted people, and for the individual, the ability to be part of multiple networks which are separate from each other. So if I am a member of a friends network and a family network, my family don't get to talk or see my friends. If I am a small business, then I have the ability to communicate with my small distributed team in a social/group like way. If I am part of a study group, I have the opportunity to share documents and research links. It is entirely possible that I might cross paths with the same people on different neetly networks, but my relationship is primarily with the networks I am a member of.

We obviously, like you say, need to explain that better on the homepage so everyone gets what it is as soon as they hit Neetly.
I think $60 is quite reasonable for a book of this scope and size - certainly if it lives up to the reviews I read, particularly jgrahamc's. I'm surprised it's not closer to $100 - the market for this book is small and it's quite large, even for a technical book.
I think you should relay that feedback, but in a polite way. Let them know you’re interested, but that you’re concerned that some of the tools won’t let you be effective. Just don’t make assumptions when you give that feedback.

The reason I suggest this is you don’t know what you don’t know. The company might switch off of Teams tomorrow or perhaps some director doesn’t like it and has a plan for a replacement. Perhaps it opens up a conversation on how you can do it better. And lastly, maybe you’re wrong, or you can find a workaround. This is one of the hardest things I struggle with, but from time to time I’ve formed opinions and then reversed them after learning a new way to do things.

From Kelton in April 2021: "The key to responsibly spending vast sums of money lies in carefully managing the economy’s real productive limitations. Just as my son’s Lego projects are limited by the amount of bricks we have bought for him, we can’t squeeze more goods and services out of our economy once we’ve made use of all available resources. ... Depending on how big Congress ultimately decides to go on infrastructure, and how quickly, it may need to unleash a whole suite of inflation-dampening policies along the way — all of it unrelated to deficit neutrality."

This is the other side of the coin of giving someone too much power.

After 2001 the pilots were considered "good" and the rest of the crew and passengers "bad".

But what happens when pilot intentions are not good? In this case the crew and passengers are impotent to save their selves.

This is probably what happened in the last two missed airplanes too.

The same is happening with the Government, after 2001 the people have given too much power to the Government because they considered it "good" against the "bad" guys. But as the people in Germany knows, the people in the Government could be the bad guys.
Any ideas for future improvements to the current mechanism?

A possible idea is to release the lock (allowing entry using the PIN) if the board computer determines that a crash is likely. (This is safe, because it's unlikely that there is an attacker who wants to enter the cockpit and at the same time a situation likely to result in a crash.)

This clearly only helps against the problem with the locked door, but it seems comparatively easy to implement.

Edit: Another idea: The autopilot should prevent a crash and the only way to disable it should be by pressing two buttons at opposite sides of the cockpit (so two persons have to cooperate).

In the immortal words of Richard Karn: “I don’t think so, Tim.”

There are lots of things that are out of scope for a given person at a given time, and no amount of study will make them tractable.

The biggest issue with respect to the OP’s Impostor Syndrome is that very few of those things are relevant to the typical work of a programmer in a startup.
The word "speed" usually suggests that more is better.

Nice strawman, but I'll take a swing anyway.

Of course not, I say stupid things now and then, like everybody else. And I think it's perfectly fair for people to call me when I do.

I think Stroustrup's statement on his bio of the Morgan Stanley page is disingenuous, so I just call it.
You can, using some biometric safeties on the controls.
No it would just mean that more decisions are taken in bathrooms.

The reason things like cabinet meeting minutes are secret is that it does allow people to discuss issues honestly without just considering how it will play on the 6 Oclock news.

Imagine negotiating a sale at work if everything about it was published? All that would happen is that all emails and documents would become sanitized public statements and the real talking would be done off the record
Sorry, but inventing the word really isn't good enough. I think the concept might actually predate the web for a couple of decades (too lazy to check Wikipedia right now). I seem to remember seeing an article on HN about a guy who invented it all long before there were even computers.

Also, maybe Tim found the right mix of ingredients. No idea, but perhaps early hypertext concepts did not include distributed documents, for example?

Hm, how does this work? Wouldn't the WinAPI convert the characters before I do the security parsing (and I agree with the bind parameters comment anyway)? Or is the problem that you run the app on a Linux server and the DB on a Windows server?

In any case: don't use Windows on a server :-)
