So my vague understanding is that QE and stuff is technically printing money, but the resulting money isn't really being used for anything.

Is a bubble a bubble if the extra bubbly-ness is from stuff that doesn't get used?

EDIT: actually, answered my own question. QE raises asset prices (even if the sellers aren't really doing anything with the money), and at one point people will be like "wait, none of this is worth the price it's at" and then panic (unless QE Infinity).
It was too, I'm so sorry.

I can get a little indignant (I'm working on it, I really am), over the tendency of some HN commenters to exhibit belligerent skepticism in response to people sharing sincerely-considered views or insights regarding yet-to-be-settled matters in health/medicine/science.

In that state, I mistook your comment as being sarcastic, which I now realise it wasn't. Please accept my sincere apologies.

What are you talking, Excel with VBA is importing/consuming the data, or it is the datasource for something else?

I assume Excel with VBA is importing/consuming the data in which case Power Query / Power Pivot would likely solve most of your problems. Refactoring a large complicated existing spreadsheet to use PQ rather than your existing peocess, hard to say how tough that would be.

Yes, that sounds as easy as anything that accepts the idea of "let's do this the shitty-but-quick way now, and pay the technical debt later". So yes, it is "easier" to work with in the beginning.

On the other hand, if I had to inherit your repository that was developed by "not caring about history", I would probably have to hunt you down and kill you. So there's that.

Placing this in its context of things said previously, "The DBMS doesn't read your mind before interpreting relations.", "Which is why the real interpretation happens outside the DBMS.", "Unfortunately, computer programs mean what they actually do", it is entirely irrelevant.

The meaning of what a DDL script does is that it asserts/ensures the (non-)existence of database objects in the database. This has absolutely nothing to do with the intended interpretation that the designer attaches to those of the database objects that are base tables/relations/relvars and derived ones in his design.

That solves internal offsets. But code can also be loaded at different addresses on many platforms/architecture combos. That's solved by relocation tables: For every address, the linker will assume a starting address of 0, and then add the location of the address to a table. The runtime linker will then go through the relocation tables and fix up any entries with the real address.

Well, "X oil" does not necessarily mean "oil made by pressing X", it can also mean "oil infused with X". Case in point: chili oil, or "olio al peperoncino", has been made in Italy for centuries and the name is not made up to confuse consumers.

In fact, one can argue that the English language is really the problem here, because it does not have prepositions like e.g. Italian has. In Italian, we wouldn't be having this argument, because "olio al peperoncini" or "olio al tartufo" are clearly in a different class of things from "olio di olivo" or "olio di noce".

5 Latest Technology that is available in 2016
I can't answer for the other person, but here's my reasoning.

abstinence from a vote is a form of social protest.

Voter turnout is fairly decent sign of voter confidence in the power of their vote to make a lasting change.

If you establish a form of mandatory voting, the state loses the feedback loop of 'non-voters' to establish voter confidence and also exerts another pressure on the citizenry; further hurting the citizens' feeling of self-control.

Basically, 'None' option or not, you're just taking another choice away from the voter.

Many tend not to remember this, but there are plenty of registered voters who don't show up or ever vote. This isn't necessarily a failure of voting advocates to get them in the booths, it may very well be an intentional protest on the part of the voter.
It is not a strange logic and I am not talking only about quality.

I am talking about IT being one of the few professions in 2016, with individuals that expect to earn money while using tools produced with the effort of others for free (beer), while not giving anything back (not even bug reports, unless their own customers press them against the wall).

So the question isn't about the quality, rather how many Emacs and vi users would have actually payed for them, if they were only available as commercial software?
Yes, but AWS sucks as much as a DDoS attack when it's running normally.

I wasn't only associating quality with price, but also pointing out that many of the 2016's Emacs and vi users would not use them if they were only available as commercial software.

Regardless of their quality, because the actual IT generation wants to earn money with tools they got for free (beer), while other professions people do pay for their tools.

QE is effectively creating money, which is then used to purchase financial assets in the hope that the person selling it will use the proceeds for something that is economically stimulative. It also reduces borrowing costs along the way.

Most central banks buy government bonds. As a result of this buying, the returns on these bonds are reduced and supposedly less attractive to the investors that previously would have bought them (or did buy them and then sold them to the central bank).

The issue is that an investor that previously would have bought a government bond, doesn't suddenly decide to spend that money in the general economy because government bond returns went down. They instead put it into other financial assets, like corporate bonds, the stock market, or perhaps real estate, thus driving a bubble in these asset classes.

In places like Japan, the central bank buys nearly all bonds issued by the government (effectively financing the government deficit). This distorts markets tremendously. Japan is the most indebted developed government in the world with close to zero GDP growth for 20 years and yet you need to pay them to loan them money for 10 years (i.e. negative return on their bonds).

As an investor, you currently have to pay the governments of most Western European countries to loan them money. In Switzerland for example, if you loan them $100 today, you'll get back $98 in 2 years and no interest. Even Spain and Italy which are in terrible shape fiscally, have a negative return on their 2 year bonds [1].

We now have extremely distorted markets. Heavily indebted governments around the world are borrowing money for free, enabled by their "politically independent" central banks. Some central banks are purchasing equities outright (Bank of Japan announced last month they would double their purchasing of equity ETFs).

There's also a great deal of research indicating that such QE policies increase wealth inequality, by driving up the price of financial assets (which are owned by the rich) and increasing the cost of living for everyone else that needs access to these assets (rent etc.) [2]

To most laymen, the idea that creating money and buying financial assets will somehow stimulate spending and inflation is clearly flawed. Central banks by design however, have few other options.

#1 is difficult for other people to verify.

#3 needs a better definition of "nobody has heard from me". Has anyone heard from you if it becomes widely known that you made a billions dollar from an unrelated business and retired from programming? It will probably work better if you say something like n seconds since the last commit, or since your last public activity on your Github, HN, or Twitter account.

Anyhow, it would be useful to have a standard, legally proven way to make these kinds of promises. Non-lawyers like me trying to be too clever are likely to leave serious loopholes.

In order to prevent ambiguity "moral rights" is the term generally used for what you are calling "moral copyright" as I understand it.

This is only true for countries like Germany and France, where a more accurate translation would be "authors' rights law" or "creators' rights law", instead of "copyright law".

In countries with an actual "copyright law" like GB and US, things are different. There may still be "moral rights", but not nearly as good we know it from Germany and France.

> Actually the easiest thing is simply not to care about how your log looks.

You need to expand on this because i don't quite understand what you mean, are you talking about "fix typo" commits or are we getting to the level of just committing away until things work and then not cleaning up the work later on? The linked article doesn't cover rebasing or squashing commits, which can be pretty powerful when used correctly.

Your commit log is the one thing that is immutably linked to your code changes. Your documentation isn't, the comments in your code aren't, you will forget why you made a change, anyone reviewing your logs needs to understand your intention, your bug tracker will probably change several times over the life of a project, and so on. So, make an effort to have a commit log that is clean and comprehensive and commits that don't break tests.

Thanks for reading / commenting on the post. Just wanted to say I massively agree with you; it's exactly how we got started, and could afford to test these various business ideas and our agency business is what funds our tech. Everyone else has already mentioned the issues with focus, maker/manager schedule, etc, which are all valid in my experience.

However I have one more for you: the businesses that buy from you as a consultant are very unlikely to buy your product.

Why? Because if they need a freelancer / consultant / agency to do the work for them, they don't understand the work enough to do it themselves (or don't have enough time). Therefore any self-serve solution tends to be met with blank stares and confusion. Likewise, the people who use our product on a self-serve basis are typically not a good fit for our agency.
So, the article says dotcoms caused first bubble in 2000, houses in 2008, but this one is driven by central banks printing money. And there is no way they will stop printing so this is an infinite bubble

There is sooo much wrong with that. As @rtpg says, that s stops not when Fed stops printing money but when market realises that the high asset prices "globally" become obviously unsustainable.

The issue is that when that happens, it happens across the world simultaneously- which is why they article refers to the complacency index. (It is possible the article is more sarcastic than I could read into it)
Good point. Forgot about Monaco for a moment here.
I think the biggest problem people have with git is that you can't and shouldn't want to change shared history, and yet git provides some tools that suggest that maybe you can.

It's better to accept history as it is, and fix the problem with reverts, cherry-picking and new commits. History won't be as pretty or clean, but it will reflect what actually happened, which is what history is, after all.

The biggest trick to understanding git is to learn to think in commits rather than file content. If one branch has a commit and the other branch doesn't, merging them will mean that the commit is there. If one branch has the commit while the other branch has the commit and a revert for that commit, merging will mean it will be reverted.

Same goes with pushing. If you reset locally to before a commit that you already shared, that commit returns on your next pull. If you revert it, it will stay reverted.

The most dangerous thing git can do, is rebasing. Rebase changes history. This is fine if it hasn't been shared yet (you commited a new change and try to push, but remote changes need to be pulled first, so rebasing is fine). Rebasing is not fine if the commit has already been shared, through a different branch or a different remote repository, for example. In that case, you need a merge.

As pretty as rebase can make your history, you should really only use it when you understand what it does. If you don't, stick with merge.
Your thinking is correct and precise, but I hope you never take a job of documentation writer for any project I will ever have to work with :)

My example of documenting re.findall all would be smth like this:

Signature:
re.findall(pattern, string, flags=0) -> [str] or [(str,)]

Arguments: ...

Returns:
- [str] -- List of Strings matching the pattern if the pattern has no capturing groups, or only one capturing group
- [(str,)] -- List of Tuples of Strings, one string for each captured group, if the pattern has more than one capturing group

Examples:
re.findall(r"h(\w{0,10}o)", "hello hoolo water")
# -> ['ello', 'oolo']

re.findall(r"h(\w{0,10}o)", "hello hoolo water")
# -> ['ello', 'oolo']

re.findall(r"(h)(\w{0,10}o)", "hello hoolo water")
# -> [('h', 'ello'), ('h', 'oolo')]

Details: ...put here some deatailed explanations about behavior with overlapping etc....

This is the kind of documentation that really spares me a lot of time. Your explanation may be correct but I'd have to read it 5 times and then open a REPL to do a small experiment and confirm that it means what I thought it means...

(I now I don't have the right to bitch about this though, the correct thing to do would be to donate some of my time and actually improve the existing docs instead of commenting on hn...)
