This article by Cochrane is a poorly written hit job (IMHO). Cochrane argues that Krugman is equivalent to an HIV-AIDS disbeliever. Ridiculous. Krugman's thesis on "what went wrong" is grounded in the GFC experience. That is, grounded in the data. Cochrane is just being a jerk.

Tellingly, Cochrane chides Krugman for attributing a quote to him (C) that he "did not write." In the very next sentence, we learn that the "quote" is accurate and accurately attributed to him, just not something he "wrote." He also argues the quote is out of context, but fails to explain exactly how. Okay dude.

Cochrane goes on to assert that Krugman grossly distorts fresh water economics as allegedly setting forth the inability of government spending to increase employment. And yet, we have this https://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/john.cochrane/research/pape... , which clearly argues (by Cochrane himself) that the multiplier on fiscal stimulus is precisely equal to zero. That is, according to Cochrane, every dollar of government spending results in an equal and opposite dollar lost somewhere else in the economy as supposedly required by Ricardian equivalence. This is of course nonsense.

This is not an honest article.
True, it makes sense for software packages, but less so for real products. If we build out any packages for public use in the future, they'll likely be MIT not GPL.
I did read the article, thanks.[1] I'm saying he can say whatever he wants but it's just a tired attempt to distract by pointing the finger at Instagram. There is zero evidence it was uploaded to Instagram and then 8chan and at the end of the day it doesn't matter. The "manifesto" was on 8chan before the crime took place. It was shared on 8chan. And discussion was encouraged on 8chan.

Did the shooter uploaded it to 8chan? I think it's more likely than not. But the identity of the uploader at all absolve 8chan of responsibility for creating an environment where such a document would be a welcome and encouraged topic of discussion? Not at all.

This kinda makes me thing back to scrambled channels and how companies detected the use of illegal decoder boxes. A lot of them used equipment could detect the demodulation used by a decode and checked to see if you were paying the fee.

An easy way around it was just using two VCRs, one before the decode and one after, to stabilize the RF signal.
I feel you man. I would definitely say, this whole disastrous decades-long schism between python 2 and python 3 certainly does not help the situation. I would start by answering the following questions to myself:

1. What are the major issues users are most frequently facing with my packages and what minimal-effort things can I do to address these issues

2. As you said, should I make a "next-gen" version, and if so, should I deprecate the old version (I think this might be a good approach)

3. are there developers who, if given a nudge/opportunity, could help in this clean up?

Just some thoughts.
What are the limitations you're on about? I'm in the market for Ryzen 3900X + X570 + TB3.
I see your point and adding to it: I believe the title is missing a half-sentence. "...to discourage repairs, because...

Because of what actually? The "because" part mainly defines if Apple is doing "good" or "bad". Many people believe it is because they want to sell more new iPhones. I believe they're doing it to protect people like you.

Likewise: "iFixit wrote this article, because..."
Ruby is still the language I turn to when I need to write a script and the shell does not suffice. I turn to it before Python because it's more terse while still being very readable.

Most (I'm going out on a limb here and would say: the super majority) lives and works in their home country. It's different for tourism where most have traveled to different countries, but it's not like 30% of the population in the EU is living outside the country they were born in.

I feel like this is a safe assumption, but I assume you do most of your performance work on Windows? Since you would even focus on OpenGL at all, I have to assume that you at least spend some of your time developing on Linux.

Have you tried the AMD mesa drivers? The open source driver performance doesn't look terrible, and in my own experience, it tends to work far better for OpenGL than AMD's proprietary GPU drivers.

That relates to court orders, which have been served on every company. It was also horribly misreported, with every affected company saying pretty publicly that this wasn’t accurate.

There is a difference between being compelled to spend billions on a company just to provide wiretapping for feds, and buying a company with a wildly successful product then being asked to handle wiretaps after the fact. One of those is ridiculous, the other is expected.
AT&T's response to this sounds pretty bad. They're not going to prevent SIM swaps but they're going to let banks (not Google, not cryptocurrency exchanges) discover that you got swapped after the fact.
He was very non-specific, so his claims hold water, albeit in a very loose way. But let's not kid ourselves, Paul Krugman never met a central bank he didn't love, and believes that there's no limit to the bankroll for a credit/debt centrally managed economy. There's zero debate to that. The only debate going on is between republicans and democrats on HOW that gravy is spent. Republican leadership want war, and want the potholes fixed in the red districts. Democrat leadership want war, and the potholes fixed in the blue districts.

Most citizens are caught up heavily, or lightly, in some (distracting) cause or another. But virtually no one questions whether the entire system is really, and truly able to keep up the charade.

The insanely wealthy have built up their warchests for the next big ass whipping to the global economy, but amongst the peasants, people are like "meh". When they should really be building a bit of bankroll for themselves, for the rainy day.

"...first by inflation, then by deflation, the government, the banks, and the corporations, will grow up around them and deprive the people of prosperity until their children wake up homeless ..." --no one famous said (but it's still true)
Game performance improvements in Visual Studio 2019 16.2 release
I'm not sure myself. I am attempting to contrast one premium consumer product with another based on expectations. I think iFixIt and others knowingly sensationalize this stuff without looking for parallels elsewhere.

In the BMW community, we justify technical reasoning behind the battery coding of our automobiles' features, but apparently phones, with their comparable levels of complexity, are supposed to use AAA batteries because the company that makes replacement parts has a loud voice. Maybe I am mistaken, but this could be considered a double-standard. I am not apologizing for Apple, I have my own frustrations with the company lately, but I strive for consistency when I opine.
I remember a satelite TV company put a message to call a particular number, and then filtered out the message in their official smart cards. Everyone who called the number was pirating their signal.

this is a stark and growing area of conflicts of laws

the constitution is setup to avoid this issue, but it is current irreconcilable on the topic of weed as the federal government derives its power from a consensus of the collective states.
There's a bit too much confusion as to what era the BBC vans might have been using optical means instead of RF means.

In the 1950s there wasn't much else on British television sets other than the BBC, right?
Stated more logically, it would be "no cruel punishments and no unusual punishments".
Well your Norwegian friend was wrong about that. All they could do was knock on your door and ask you if you had a TV, and you could more or less politely tell them you didn't and that would be the end of it, even if you did own one and it was on and both you and the license guy was able to hear it playing in the background. :)

The beauty of digital is you are avoiding the “linear” portion of transistors and are always running them saturated. A ternary machine would require running the transistors in the linear region - which ultra small transistors are terrible at.

There are alternative designs using +/0/- saturated signaling but those have higher voltages and larger transistor counts.

I’ve played around with linear designs which can indeed use fewer parts but you need high quality transistors and they’d still be slow. https://hackaday.io/project/3628-trinity/log/11995-2-transis...
Greetings,

This is an inherently societal (and by extension, political) issue as some have pointed out. Realistically speaking, legislative solutions do not appear imminent.
Technological solutions could still be of use as follows:

1) predicting/detecting behavioural problems well in advance of the individual(s) in question becoming locked into a violent path (this would be challenging on both technical and ethical/privacy fronts)

2) more narrow-window prediction/detection of violent intent, and/or materials that would constitute threat to life (guns, as a prime example) and immediate notification of first responders. Essentially what some folks call a "sense and respond" system.

3) Environmental deterrents/safeguards coupled to the detection systems described in (2) above.

A multi-pronged strategy would likely deliver the best outcomess w.r.t minimising the loss of life. Solutions at each level could also be re-purposed for emergencies that aren't gun related, so the overall benefit to society would be meaningful.

Disclosure: I founded a startup over a year ago with the express purpose of solving such problems (== preventing loss of life in violent scenarios in general) and had to shut it down due to lack of funding. I have thought about these issues for a couple of years now and have some specific ideas on the subject. Happy to discuss further with anyone interested in collaborating, pointing me to funding opportunities etc.
Singapore treats high-skill and low-skill immigrants quite differently. That's the centerpiece of their policy, and entirely relevant to the West. Compare Canada/Australia/NZ's race-blind (and high-volume, especially relative to their population sizes!) but points-based immigration systems, and much lower severity of populist revolt in those countries, with the problems in the US and European countries that had been executing less selective policies against the wishes of their citizens.
I'm interested to know how many different teams use your CI system, as well as how many different platforms (operating system, distro, programming language) you support.

Some companies have tons of old and new projects with very heterogeneous technologies in use. Imagine 50+ teams, several different programming languages, and things being deployed to different "hardware" (bare metal, cloud VMs, kubernetes, etc). It just seems like a lot of work to manage CI configs for all those different teams/cases, handle "support" requests from different teams, fix issues, and so forth. Hence, why the "easy way" out is to have each team manage CI configuration themselves as much as possible, to spread the maintenance cost across many capable developers.

He said £300,000 not $300,000. That'd be about $364,000.

I think you'll find such salaries for individual contributors are surprising everywhere except the Bay Area. Britain isn't special in this regard - this sort of story is merely highlighting the fact that wages in the UK are catching up to the (extremely high) levels found in Mountain View.

C#, because it only seems to be useful for Windows and the language does not seem to offer enough merit on its own to try to use it on a Unix-based system.
Regardless of one's political opinions, it seems relatively uncontroversial that answering the question "how is A not X?" with the followup question "how is A, X?" has contributed very little to the conversation. "X", in this case "cruelty", might be a debatable quality, but it isn't as though we have no information about the situation. Google is chock-full of different arguments for and against Manning's various punishments. (No links from me, because that would make my opinions obvious.) If you were genuinely curious, that would have been a place to start.

The original question seems fine as a conversation starter, since for one thing it identifies a particular motivated action that most humans would agree is cruel: 'admittedly imprisoning someone for "coercive" reasons', but if the only responses it had inspired had been more meta-conversation like yours then it would have been suitable to flag the whole subthread. Fortunately there were lots of thoughtful responses.
> A monopoly is not inherently bad. They often benefit users with increased efficiency and productivity. They're only bad when progress stagnates and/or prices rise.

My argument is every single monopoly eventually becomes 'bad' and makes progress stagnate and prices rise.

Just look at Google and Amazon. Up until I'd say late-ish 00s, nearly everyone loved Google and Amazon. I remember when Google search, GMail, Maps, street view, etc. first came out. I loved them, and I felt they were so much better than the competition. Same thing with Amazon - their selection was huge, great delivery and customer service.

I still use Google and Amazon for so much, but it's usually with reluctance and distaste. Check out Google search results these days. The ENTIRE first page about half way past the fold is ads, or AMP carousels, or shit I just want to get out of my way. But I still use them because with their heft and scale no one does long tail searches as comprehensively.

I also remember the coin operated tellys. Yes, every 6 months or there abouts the coiny-telly man would come about to collect the coins. It was a real hassle, as you had to be at your flat all that day. Otherwise, the coiny-telly man would just pass you up. Thing was, the little bin that the coins fell into would fill up every 9 months or so. So, if the coiny-telly man passed you up, you'd have to ration when you could watch TV. I remember the first time my mum made this mistake and the bin got filled. My pa was so angry that he didn't get to watch Emmerdale Farm and Whizz-Bizz that night as no more would fit in the machine. Well, we never made that mistake again.
Thank you! Good luck in the job hunt/interviewing. It took me a LONG time and a lot of tries before I stopped freezing up in interviews.

CBT (with or without Quirk) is definitely something that can help you here and definitely recommend giving it a shot!
Epyc 2 has different memory latencies within and across NUMA nodes according to the infirmation I have. So it is not equally slow for all memory. Can you point me to a source that says otherwise?

https://blog.racket-lang.org/2019/01/racket-on-chez-status.h... and the links at the top should provide the explanation. This paper: https://www.cs.utah.edu/plt/publications/icfp19-rddkmstz.pdf has more details.

Basically, Chez is a now-open-source runtime that's very close to what Racket needs, while also being written mostly in Scheme instead of in C (as the original Racket runtime & compiler is). Building on Chez allows us to cut the amount of C by a factor of ~10 while getting a better architecture.
Private and distributed? .... Why?
Monopolies are subject to the laws of economics.

GitHub has gained near-monopoly status because it has provided a superior user experience at a great price. If either of those value propositions start to crumble,

git remote add ...

Exploitative monopolies almost always have help from the state: The Patent Office, Interstate Commerce Commission, Federal Reserve, FDA, etc either grant monopoly or cartel privilege to their customers. Monopolies achieved on the market cannot be sustained without continuing to satisfy customer demands.
The actual equivalent would be something like Azure AppService.
Some pushback on pricing: this app is a vitamin, not a painkiller. $4/mo is a perfect price for an app I may use daily for years and years with varying levels of engagement. Like Day One (price: $3.99) or TeuxDeux (price: $3/mo), both of which are quite successful.

Charge $10/mo or $20/mo and your churn will increase as people think "haven't used that in weeks, waste of money" and cancel.

Additionally, I think the term 'open-source' and link to GitHub have no place in your marketing materials at this point. You're gunning for the public now, and your support channel is going to be clogged with questions about why open-source does not mean free or how to install from GitHub.

One small improvement I would really appreciate is a reduction in the number of clicks required to reach the real build status page. Clicking "Details" on a status row for a travis build takes me directly to the summary on travis, whereas for azure it leads to a redundant summary page hosted on github first, and requires another click to actually reach azure.

I am an ex-pat and as an adult I am have become quite disillusioned with the UK and glad to have gotten out a decade ago. I miss nothing about England except my friends, and I'd feel sorry for them, but they all seem mostly happy with life.

Paying a license to have a TV (and it's assumed you must watch TV), opt in porn on the internet, CCTV everywhere, braying in parliament, not to mention the whole Brexit shit-show, I find little to admire about the UK.
GitHub is way late to the game here. I personally have started moving away from GitHub. They don't even offer an open source version, yet try to claim to be some gift for open source. GitLab is better, but their architecture is a bit more complicated than it should be. I really like sites that use Gitea, but they haven't integrated CI/CD like GitLab, nor have they proven to scale with their own hosted solution. When I think about the point of these solutions though, there is a lot of opportunity here. Heck, Git is decentralized and distributed by itself. Really people just want a place to manage their issues and MRs, and I hope someone will decentralize that with a native app and then add additional features that integrate into multiple providers with ease.
I hate to be that guy/girl, but aren't all facial recognition algorithms by definition racist? In the case of China, it seems like the real issue is that the racism seems to be an open feature of the product rather than something carefully cloaked in bland PR-speak.
You're right. There were also not a lot of AMD boards at first, to the point that services had to prove "Opteron worthiness". Unless your load tests showed improvements of 70% or faster, presumably what the most important products were seeing, you couldn't run on them. Those were the days. The next generation Intel systems weren't a great improvement, but they still ended up being built in large numbers.
This is true, still today I saw a BBC article stating that July was the hottest month recorded - https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-49165476?intlin...

Perl, Python, Lua were not ready for embedding (unsafe FFIs, OS-dependent APIs) and would have been flash-frozen in early bad states. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1905155. Better that JS got the early bad state freezing and thawing (ES3 helped; ES5 was constructive and ES6 made JS pretty good).

In early 1996, John Ousterhout stopped by to pitch Tcl/Tk, but it was too late. VBScript was coming, but JS in 1995 Netscape betas got on first and saved us from that dystopia.
