The U.S. economy is one of the most stable in the world, and certainly the most stable of any major world power. In fact, many economies are directly tied to the value of the dollar directly or indirectly. A lot of foreign investors are simply trying to put their money in US assets. Most conservatively in treasuries, least conservatively in the stock market. Housing falls somewhere in between.

To these investors, the fundamentals of the housing market don't apply as rigidly.
It's too cost prohibitive to be healthy, and even if it wasn't there is too much mental energy needed to be picky about which foods/ingredients you're buying (Checking labels, researching nutritional values, etc)

I don't see why edit couldn't save the previous tweet and make it accessible from the edited one. That way you can link to the original if someone said something they're now trying to obscure. The replies could also be linked to the tweet they were replying to.
I haven't really thought about it in those terms. But YES it turns out I do make a distinction.

The only reason I called the police on the guy who robbed me at gunpoint was because I was concerned that he might also steal from someone who couldn't stand to lose their money AND because he was using lethal force to steal money.

I didn't really enjoy the few weeks of stress that I got from being mugged. But I otherwise didn't hold it against him. He was much more polite than a person with a gun has to be. And I could afford gas at $4 a gallon (as it was at the time) where he couldn't (credit cards showed him immediately going an filling up at a gas station).

If a rich guy had mugged me, I think I would have been a bit more upset about the experience.
it is worse in the sense that it can be directed for the purpose of pathogenicity.

natural virii have little benefit from killing the host, as transmission from live host to new host occurs best when the host is minimally inconvenienced.

Highly lethal virus kills hosts before they can contact other prospective hosts, and thus fare less well than a virus that gives you the sniffles, or makes you feel a bit tired.

with all this, Biowarfare is considered to be tacticly deficient, as there is reduced control, indiscriminate effect [in the present context] and drift of properties, as biological entities, change to accentuate survival in thier surroundings.
Thank you, a very good point.

Churches have sacrificed people for much less. Given up their principles for not much in return. This is true in the present day. This has been true for the past 2000 years.

In your hypothetical, the Christians would be just as eager for the benefits as anyone else. Let's not pretend Christians, as a group, are somehow more moral than atheists or anyone else. History does not support that contention.
The reality is that most people like myself are continue to do this regardless of your morality rant. The problem is that your morality argument is based on licensing terms and the legal system. The internet has its own morality that is somewhat untethered to legality: use what you can get, pay for what you feel you should. You can claim that this violates copyright or morality but people vote with their clicks and git clones - there is nothing you can do to change that.

And you can scream and write these type of blog posts all you want but really it just ads to the Streisand effect. You think this blog post net increased or decreased the awareness and use of github as a source of fonts?
That's poor compared to just logging.warning('Unusual situation', foo, bar).

I.e. since print isn't a statement, you can give other functions the same argument conventions that it has, instead of making the programmer use a string-generating shim.

Speaking of Common Lisp, it has functions other than format which take format arguments.

Enforced vacation time is a great way to figure these things out prima facie.

As employees, we all know that 'unlimited vacation time' is just a code for 'no vacation time' (with rare exceptions). But companies get into that trap too. When they red-line their employees that hard, they expose themselves to unncessary risks. People get sick, they have tooth aches that need mending, they get jury duty notices during a crunch, their folks go into the hospital, etc. Let alone actual in-house issues of burnout, server issues, internet connectivity.

I worked with a shop that was dog-friendly once. They had to get fumigated every year or so, as the pooches would invariably bring in ticks and bugs. That was four days they just could not work at the office each year, with a pretty nasty decline in work enviroment quality in the lead up to each fumigation.

Enforcing vacations causes the firms to deal with these issues ahead of time. Vacations have been well studied and, especially with knowledge workers, improve employee productivity (generally). But they also act as vaccinations towards unseen workplace issues and black-swan events.
Thanks for the input. Good points to consider and it sounds like it's worth doing more research.
Sorry if it wasn't clear, I meant his addresses being visible on both the input and output of a mixing process but being discovered via separate means, one via tracing where the codes were sold, one via tracing his bank activity after investigating which account generated the codes.

It certainly could be enough to connect him, if they already know the fraudulent codes were generated from his account, and you can see the mixing process and that he was clearly an output of it, that means that he would have had to buy bitcoin from someone who used his account to generate those codes... that's not going to play well to any judge or jury.
It never had meaning other than as a feel-good expression of "some programmers are much better than others."

The original "scientific" basis was a paper in the 60s (ish?) that found a 10x difference between the time taken by the best and worst programmers to complete a task. It excluded people who didn't finish the task at all.

The actual focus of the study was to study productivity differences between off-line (punch-card) programming and on-line (at a terminal) programming. Remember, this was the 60s.

The 10x finding was a side effect of a small study that has no applicability today. I'm not aware of any serious attempt to replicate the findings, probably because they're not very meaningful:

1) The 10x difference was between best and worst. This is a lousy metric. A better metric might be difference between best and median.

2) Productivity was defined as time for an individual to complete a small program to run on a single timeshare computing system. This doesn't tell us anything about modern real-world productivity, which involves working in teams, on distributed systems, with vastly larger development ecosystems.

In order for "10x" to be scientifically meaningful—to be anything more than another one of the stupid tribal wars programmers like to engage in—we would need to: Determine how to measure real-world productivity [1]. Use a better metric than best-to-worst. Pay for and conduct a non-trivial study.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

I’m comfortable with C/++ and Java, to a greater extent than a lot of people I’ve worked with. There are still things in Rust that are papercuts:

* The need to put :: before <> in expressions for generic parameters, but not in type signatures.

* Using :: instead of just . even though most of the time the naming convention will delineate the difference anyway

* Error handling with futures

* Self-referential structs

* Passing a shared pointer through multiple move closures

IMHO the frustration involved in these things is not typically worth being more explicit. The :: thing may seem a bit pedantic, but it is simply more physical effort (Shift-colon-colon vs dot) and creates more visual noise.

If/when all of the things above are addressed, I think Rust could give Python a run for its money.
I really don't care about any of those perks.

I want privacy and silence, and really all I'm interested in doing at work is putting in my eight hours and then going home. I'm just here to draw a paycheck. I actually like my job and my teammates; but I just work to fund my life, and I'm an introvert who craves solitude. My idea of having fun after I get off work involves ordering delivery, having a nice meal by myself, and then spending the rest of the night playing video games by myself, going on a nice, long wiki walk by myself, and/or hacking on some personal project that tickles my fancy by myself.

And, quite frankly, I detest the culture surrounding the tech industry in the valley, I will never, ever move there, and this is a large part of _why_ I detest the culture there. I'm happy I live in the middle of the country where real estate is cheap and the tech industry is dominated by conservative telecoms where the only bro culture is in the sales department.

Firefox has this built-in, no? You can quick-switch to tabs by using sigils in the AwesomeBar, and you can click the drop-down button in the tab bar to get a list of open tabs.
It is in general an escape hatch for being able to write code that isn't possible in safe Rust. Limitations of the borrow checker (e.g. for backpointers in circular data structures) definitely fall into that category. Even without FFI Rust would not be practical without unsafe.
Having all the text below the headline and above the fold be a giant text-only ad indistinguishable from the content is really stupid. I couldn’t even swipe right to go back to write this comment because it somehow hijacked the implicit mobile back button. This site is a cancerous pile of shit.
I am going to get flack for this but I believe both health and wealth are both highly correlated with personal will power.

I recently read a book about the design of the LIM. It amazes me how young many of the people were. The guy in charge of the LIM design, IIRC, was late 20’s. Just a little older than the guy in this article.
Like he said, because less than 1% of American commuters bike, and the average commute is over 16 miles.
A high percentage of the time when I attempt to view a twitter page on mobile the spinner times out and just gives a "something went wrong" error. There is a Try Again button but clicking on it is futile, as it always goes back to "something went wrong" error after a second. The only thing that seems to work is to ask the browser to refresh the page, sometimes more than once.

Is this only happening to me? I always wondered what the hell is going on.

That sounds like something different than the OP said.

>...It's not like you haven't heard the term before, so I'm not sure why you're asking for links.

It's like I said, cronyism will be found in any political system. What was odd, was the original poster was saying that frequently when people didn't like some result, it was blamed on "crony capitalism" and as the OP pointed out:

>"Which is frustrating, because "crony capitalism" is a real thing that actually means something specific"

I don't think I've seen examples of people in the media using the term "crony capitalism" wrong, but then again I don't watch Fox News, so I asked for an example. Does that make sense?

I think there are a HUGE misunderstanding and difference of POV from EU and US. Much like how US ( consumers ) even view Cross Bleeding as GMO.

What you said is mostly correct in EU, so I am not sure why you are getting downvoted. They do sell shelf placement ( in different stature ), however the marketplace and Retails protection is still in place.
I believe this is a comment about interests of the fields akin to differences between math and physics.

They still approach computation using mathematical reasoning methods. Note how they define car and cdr and how they approach problems in those videos.

I believe Abelson and Sussman use the kind of mathematical reasoning I am talking about in all their work. SICP being a prime example.
I think people refer to memory safe in general as "not being able to override memory that is not currently owned by a referred object in the program" - which certainly applies to all GCed languages.

It's definitely true that this does not imply thread-safe, and the ability to prevent the mess up the consistency of valid objects.

I mean, that isolated example doesn't really demonstrate the benefit of a walrus operator does it? You could have just written "if re.match(x, y): do_something()". If you re-used the result of computation within the if statement, I feel that would be a better example, eg. "m = re.match(x, y); if m: do_something(m)".
There's no snark in that comment.
FWIW My bank here in the UK does this (Monzo) and I worked at a startup where we also implemented "magic link" to log in. It also seemed to fit nicely with a pre-account workflow idea that I'd had for one of my projects.

But... ignoring the potential security issue of trusting your email, which (like your post points out) most forgot-password routes do anyway, you then get onto usability.

Turns out some of our users really hated it, and couldn't get their heads around it. Including some key members of our snr. management team. Slack IIRC was originally magic-link only, but then reversed course later, and tbh -- even I find it frustrating when using it with my banking app. It's way slower than just having 1Password fill in the user/pwd details for me – as has been pointed out, it adds a cumbersome second step.

That said, I think it still has a place for places where the user won't necessarily need/want to create a "full account" but you can use it to at least do some email validation. Then if they want an account later, you can simply turn this "shadow" account into a full one by letting the user set a password, as that's really the only difference.
"no trouble doing it" is the opposite of "significant will power".

I'm a poor person (less than 750€/month) I do art (https://aszantu.deviantart.com)

It's funny how I don't use as much money since I went carnivore. My health has improved greatly, my depression went away.

For about 3 months I was keto, basically unaffordable, so I cut the fresh greens and went with meat alone.

3 months of eating 1.5 KG pork every day, still expensive.
went with about 500 grams of ground meat for about a year and after I figured out the keto-carnivore thing it's about

1 block of butter every 3 days as well as 250 grams of beef is enough to survive.

I'm building my own mealworm farm for protein and fat as well as a snail hatchery for giant african snails for protein.

as poor person you basically never know when you will have to rely on yourself. So I'm trying to build for self sufficiency with solar panel and car battery as well as my own food production.

so many questions help!
1. Why? - I wanted to try it for the depression - it worked for multiple other ailments https://meatheals.com has a lot of similar stories - some people live like that for a long time now.

2. Will I die from scurvey or other nutrient deficiency? - I dont't know. Bloodwork looked okay. Cholesterol is high (Dave Feldman has some interesting things to say about that)
Yes I do fear that I don't get some nutrients but I eat some organ meat now and then, add gelatine to my meat, drink milk and eat butter, eggs, cheese, fish, different animals, different states of fermentation now and then.

3. Did I supplement? - yes, I took magnesium citrate for a while but not taking any now, except for when I have a headache. When I still ate "normal", zinc did a lot for my depression.

4. why insects rather than plants? - Plants in general seem to give me allergic reactions -> Carbs and sugar seem to make me depressed, greens and onions seem to amplify anxiety, plant oils give me headaches. After having symptoms every time I tried another plant, I stopped trying and these trials are getting less and less. There is something about anti-nutrients in plants that seems to screw with the absorbtion of minerals and vitamins from food.

5. Did I talk to a doctor? - Yes, I did, she just sat there and noded asked for a blood test and that's it. LDL is high, trigs are low (Dave Feldman prediction for cholesterol)

6. what about cancer? protein spikes IGF1 or something? I don't know... I don't want to go back to Plants because they make me feel like shit. Everyone dies and I will too one day. There is some article of someone who researched the WHO connection of cancer and red meat, and it doesn't seem to hold up.

7. do I still have symptoms? - Yes, depression is there sometimes and anxiety as well. I've lived with them for so long that I still have the habits of depression and they're hard to break. But I've accomplished about 500 km of the camino trail in europe as well as worked 9-5 hours which was never possible for me before. Childhood hunger never leaves you,(also it feels like germany is destabilizing as a democratic system) hence the preparation for crisis.
>The Bulk Power Regulator mentioned in the blog post is essentially an 400V DC supply that powers everything else in the rack (including the blowers with threephase motors and their own DC/AC invertor).

Any decent motor these days is a brushless DC motor, so it runs on DC voltage, except that it really doesn't. It gets DC voltage from a power supply (or it rectifies AC voltage to get DC, just like your computer's power supply), and then uses that to drive a motor drive (controller) (a box of electronics that runs the motor). The motor drive generates 3-phase AC power which is actually used to power the windings of the physical motor. The motor includes feedback devices which tell the controller the motor shaft's position so it knows where in the AC cycle the output waveform should be.

There's always a lot of confusion about these motors because of this: they're called "brushless DC" (BLDC), but also 3-phase AC, and both are correct. The key is that the controller is really an integral part of the motor. It's similar to how your CPU probably runs on 1.8VDC, but you don't actually supply it that from your computer's power supply, the motherboard has its own voltage regulator to create that. You would never actually make a separate 1.8V power supply for a CPU, because it wouldn't work very well (high losses over distance); it's much more efficient to have the regulator closely coupled to the CPU.
Is there any good reason for that? Are fatty foods and empty carbs cheaper to produce than less processed, healthier food?

More to the point, is there money to be made by making real food more readily available?
