> Spending does not stop. It may slow. Most arguments against deflation are largely strawmen, and the historical examples of it are usually a result of too much government intervention, or it following a period of high inflation.

Ummm... You realize you just made this up out of thin air, and provided no proof.

> Here's an example of deflation: Moore's Law. If computing power is going to double in 18 months, then a computer I buy now will be worth much less in 18 months. If that's the case, best not buy that computer and wait 18 months right?

That happens all the time. People wait for refresh cycles but I don't see how this is relevant to currencies or macroeconomics. It certainly backs nothing you've said.

> Another example is a car. It loses 20% of its value on purchase and continues to lose value year on year and is eventually worth nothing.

sigh You're not accounting for the utility of using the car. At some point the marginal utility of new features will be less than the utility of something today... Microeconomics courses would help clear up this for you.

> Economic theorists are mostly employees or funded by the banks, the central banks and the governments. There's a "consensus" among them that inflation = good because it benefits the industries they work for.

Conspiracy theory, much? Also that's like saying because physicists are employed by someone they must all be maligned to say the same evil bullshit. Might as well tell me the earth is flat, mate.

> Anyway, it does not matter, because Bitcoin cannot be inflated, and if people now have the choice to hold a deflationary currency or an inflationary one, let them pick! We'll see if those economists were right after all when people actually have a choice.

You're right, the ignorant and poor will be given the opportunity and "choice" to lose their money and savings because ignorant loud mouthed people who have done no actual research or learning are spouting shit which sounds compelling. It's a lot like people selling radioactive tonics to make you live longer at the beginning of the 1900s. People who are ignorant of the science, ramifications, and who don't are to not be are advising people as though they aren't... and people's lives will be ruined for it.
Most of the garabge they are cleaning up isn't confetti. It's people throwing their wrappers/bottles on the ground because they can't/won't get to a garbage can.

> And every bit of Bitcoin they get is worth slightly more after they get it then it was when it was paid, so their purchasing power is going up and up and up.

So you are saying that bitcoin would only ever become more and more valuable?

How can you similtaneously believe this statement, and that bitcoin is worthless?

They can't both be true. Either bitcoin is deflationary, IE, it goes up and up in value, and becomes more and more valuable, or it isn't.

Which is it? Is bitcoin worthless, or it is so extremely valuable and amazing, that it is going to take over the entire world with how deflationary it is?

Personally, I'd want to support something that you apparently believe is so useful that it is going to take over the world.
I think there's a few digits missing here even. 1 mol = 6.022E23 particles = 22.4 L at STP for an ideal gas, and 1 m^3 = 1000 L

Of course real air isn't quite an ideal gas, but some reasonable approximations [1] come out to 2.53E25 molecules (N2 and O2) per cubic meter at 15 C and 1 atm.

If we can compare C++'s complexity to Python's, then C++ has lost its way. You're saying the same thing as the article and my comment, that C++ is trying to hide complexities, and we're arguing that doing so is instead adding more complexities.

Sure, Python makes it easy to listen on a socket, parse HTTP, and send HTML down -- hiding a lot of complexity. But it's made it impossible to do so very efficiently and scale up. Try and dive into Python's stack for that (Re: 'hold in your brain all the "modern" features'), and you'll get lost in a myriad of CPython (or whatever flavor you choose) generics and indirection that you can't optimize. Startup times matter, because you are all about hiding complexities and went "serverless" and constantly eat cold starts (Re: '"modern" compile times').

I think it's apt to compare "modern" C++ as moving towards something like Python. Not great for a lot of applications of C++ (Re: games, in the article and my focus) or its perceived goals as a better C. That's the point. Many of the C++ additions are being slagged for making a worse C. It's looking nothing like C any longer. It's a giant ball of complexity with dozens of ways of doing the same thing and hoping you learned them all.

This is why I think languages like Rust (or even Go) get a lot of attention. They have a good interop story with C, like C++ has. And if we're going to learn a bunch of non-C looking language grammar, C++ is doing a worse job.
No, I will just be questioning the humans that label these moves as unique snowflakes that no other type of engine could conceive of.
It is actually surprisingly common to hit the max path length with build systems. Why?

You're building a project. Your source code is under C:\Users\twenty-ish character username\Documents\Projects\. The project name is a released build which got extracted to something network-configurator-1.4.5, which builds into a build directory underneath that. That's up to 80 characters right there, only 180 remaining.

If you have any process that starts doing something like "place the artifacts needed to build <result>.foo in result/" (say, cmake), and throw in some hierarchy nesting, you can chew up 180 characters remarkably quickly. Something like node.js produces this monstrosity of a path name:

./node_modules/istanbul-harmony/node_modules/handlebars/node_modules/uglify-js/node_modules/source-map/test/source-map/test-source-map-consumer.js

Names that seem reasonable within the context of their folder may turn out to be highly redundant in the context of the entire pathname--but many people would rather prefer to have readable names at each level of the folder hierarchy, which makes it hard to make full pathnames reasonable. Sometimes, these names are required by means of a language implementation or other build system that is uncontrollable by you.
I just downloaded Telegram because I was curious how Qt's macOS support was, and it turns out the Mac version of Telegram isn't even written in Qt.

I did eventually download the Qt version. It doesn't support emacs keybindings. I can't use ctrl+b ctrl+f to move my cursor in text boxes, like I can in every macOS native app and Electron app.

I think this is a pretty strong argument for Electron: It actually behaves like a native app.

I also think Telegram is lower complexity than Slack, Discord, Atom, or VS Code. For instance, as far as I can tell, it doesn't have features like emoji reacts, which I'd guess would be something easier to implement in HTML/JavaScript than in Qt.

In my experience a lot of freelancers are using it (especially when they like to work in different countries). Personally I’m quite happy using it and it’s a way better experience in comparison with the chamber of commerce in the Netherlands when you start freelancing (had some bad experiences unfortunately when they sold my data to shady companies which will target you with fake invoices/bad deals/spamming). Another great feature is that you are in full control how to pay yourself (salary/board member fee/dividends) which can have serious tax advantages depending on your country’s tax system.

In most cases it won't positively benefit people in terms of taxation.

However, it might perhaps be useful for people coming from countries that are looked down upon by some significant EU countries. In that case, having an Estonia registration might increase the credibility of the business from an initial (and sometimes important) external view.
Yeah, I'm certainly not claiming AlphaZero isn't the stronger engine (probably by quite a substantial margin). The first match _was_ a pretty clear fix, but the second paper is an entirely reasonable setup, so I have no real suspicions about the process on an ongoing basis, just a shame nobody can prove it for themselves.
For execution I use Tradovate(which uses Dorman Clearing LLC). They have low commissions, and offer a membership to reduce commissions to $0(you still have to pay exchange costs though). Before Tradovate, I had used AMP for execution, but eventually left them over the cost of commissions.

I use a 8 tick stop and a variable profit target(a result of weekly re-optimizing). Last week the target was 24, and the week before the target was 16. The stop loss value I don't like to change, and 8 ticks has been enough for "good" entries. If I need more than 8 ticks, then I believe the entry price is my mistake - not the stop loss value.

I perform optimization every Friday, using that week as the training data to find the "best" thresholds for changes in depth before signaling a trade. Then the next Monday, I'll use those new values all week(and repeat the cycle that Friday). Basically - re-optimize every week. It's not a lot of work, just input the starting date, click optimize, and wait ~20m for the outputs. I like to keep track of each week's settings, with the plan to one day review their changes, and try to reason about why those changes happened(I haven't done this yet though, it's one of those one-day-I-ought-to ideas).

I don't have any algorithm parameters for unexpected volatility, the closest I have is a condition that turns the automatic entries off if the nearest 4 bids and asks(examining a total of 8 prices) contain more than 4 ticks of spread(no bids or asks), and both sides limit orders sum to less than 30. I didn't add that until sometime around Valentine's day 2018(that was not a good couple-of-days). When that happens, it disables entries and sends me an SMS.

The reason why most atheists hate the term God is mostly because they don't understand the nomenclature like Godhead and the trinity. Even Bertrand Russell believed in God, in the same sense as this "rootkit of reality."

The targeted tax revenue per square foot of the businesses in that zone that profit from the massive foot traffic of Times Square and a hotel tax per night is used to create a safer experience that is the attraction people come to see pays for that. Hotels can say not to tax the room and stop the Times Square event but they will lose far more revenue, a little extra tax for far more revenue makes a ton of sense. In other words, the people who visit for the experience pay for it by the hotel room and sales tax when they eat at Planet Hollywood.
This is honestly the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. You think it's acceptable to never admit that you don't know something? You're advising people to pretend to know everything?

I would immediately try to get you fired for lying about your knowledge and qualifications.

One of the best possible things you can do is admit when you don't know something. That should always be safe to do at any GOOD employer.
What this article doesn't answer is, when it talks about the green soldermask being physically superior, is that only because it's had more R&D put into it due to being popular, or would it actually be the best regardless? (Admittedly, I don't know how one would possibly answer that question without, like, actually trying to invent better soldermask of other colors. But it bugs me that the article doesn't even ask the question.)
Do you think companies really have a policy of intentionally pressuring engineers with those motivations in mind? That sounds a little conspiracy theory. In my personal experience what's really happening at your average widget maker is they don't need someone who can write database software or a UI library for browsers. They see that the front-end person can get her work done in 2 days a week, so they try to find something else for her to contribute to. Specialists like Dan don't work for the average company, and he wouldn't even be of much use to them either. And specialists like Dan wouldn't have a job if it weren't for the millions of generalists using his work.

EDIT: In another comment Dan himself mentions that Facebook tries to hire generalists.

It's not really the application size though. It's whether you load/initialise things eagerly at startup, or do you do it as needed/in the background.

Right. So 0.1 µbar (1E-7 bar) means ~2.5E18 molecules per cubic meter.
