From time to time landlords have to go bankrupt after taking too much leverage.

If landlord’s mortgage is risk-free, it means that the landlord is leveraged at the expense of people who don’t have home — which is rather unfair economically, and leads to more inequality. Wealthy risk-free landlords get passive income and re-invest it into more leveraged assets, poor people pay taxes to bail-out their landlords.

The legislators will be delighted to learn how google's

I guarantee you at the very minimum reCatpcha contributes to some "isBot" or "hasGoogleAccount" attribute that is then used by Advertising systems. And that is assuming the best of the best of the best case scenario.

One advantage to ultrawides that I think goes understated is their ability to display large amounts of tabular data easily.
Very cool idea. Issues I noticed (without intending to discourage this sort of brainstorming in any way):

1. You can either define a function scattered across multiple cells in a single row, or gathered all in one cell. But as is, it doesn't look like you can define a function taking arguments in the scattered way.

2. The way the row evaluation works, each cell from left to right shares a stack. But the cells only show the top of the stack. The rest stays hidden. This feels like a departure from a key tenet of spreadsheets: to show all the data.

But this really sparked lots of ideas for me, and even got me to make a 5.5 minute video riffing on it: https://archive.org/details/akkartik-2020-06-17-LoGlo

A casino is a funny comparison here. I doubt Robinhood wants to be regulated the way casinos are. Casinos in most jurisdictions are mandated to take at least minimal steps to address the risks of problem gambling. For example, posting hotline numbers to help problem gamblers, training employees to spot problem gamblers, and in some cases even banning known problem gamblers.

If a casino was found to be doing none of those things, when a suicide occurred, I suspect it would be in deep trouble.

Hello. You can still trust GitHub contribution page. This doesn't affect your real commits. Neither is there an option to import it in your profile.

The intention of the app is obviously not to look better on the interview, but for pure fun. The title might be a bit misleading or edgy. You obviously can't submit screenshots of your github contribs, nobody would take you seriously.

But there was a negative trend of developers trying to prove something with that page, and I know some who are actually obsessed with it, so I've provided a tool that can make "same results" quickly. And as I said, it's used for fun.

It' not coherent because both printing money and borrowing cause the interest rate to increase. Low interest rates is a reaction from the market to the conditions the government puts on the table, not something that the government sets at will to push an agenda.

>the use of 'war' for civil matters

This has always been the wrong word, yet a favorite going back at least as far as Lyndon Johnson's "War On Poverty". It suggests an "enemy" to be "defeated" -- but the enemy is a monster of our own making.

Reform, Reconstruction, or New Deal are more truthful as descriptions, but tend to sound like hard work rather than the quick fix voters crave.

Good to know details:

In 2018, as the article says, macOS stopped using subpixel antialiasing across all Macs. On low DPI screens however, the loss of subpixel antialiasing made fonts look blurrier, and look smaller and less dark. This occurs on high DPI screens as well, albeit to a lower degree. To bring low DPI screens up to the same level of "darkness", the behaviour of "Use font smoothing when available" was changed to simply makes fonts bolder. This is a plus for people who have difficulty reading the screen.

Furthermore, the author seems to have an obsession around "pixel-crisp" fonts, during the section about the correct resolution for your display. What macOS does is render at 2x resolution, then scale down the image to the monitor's native resolution. Looking back, this was an amazing choice made by Apple, and has allowed for an amazingly bug-free high DPI experience. Even today, Linux and Windows have serious issues with high DPI. 99% of macOS users don't notice that their desktop is not running at native resolution, nor would they care.

If the author just focused on monitors, this article would be a lot better.

Also, 120Hz might be nice for a desktop, but if you are plugging in a laptop, you will notice your power consumption double. For battery life, choose a 60Hz monitor.
4K on a desktop is just sorta silly. Now.... 1440p is a very useful bump over 1080.

"This is where we can modify their mandate at any time through legislation."

We really can't. To would so be a fundamental reconstruction of governance, tantamount to constitutional changes.

The central bank running current accounts for citizens and doling out money in a manner similar to how it tries to manage inflation using purchases on the free market etc. is so far beyond the premise of a 'Central Bank' that it's not a 'Central Bank'.

It makes the entity inherently politicized, as it becomes nary impossible to set 'targets' that aren't political.

So yes, we could dump the Central Bank and create a new entity that does 'Central Banking And Other Things' but there isn't even an intellectual framework for that, let alone some kind of reference anywhere in the world that could be used as a guide.

Putting the power of the printing press that close to 'giving out money' in a populist way is pretty scary anyhow and I wouldn't see the point in doing it at all.

If there are progressive social measures to be made, it might be for example related to how we structure what goes on the Feds balance sheet, and why, etc..

If we want to hand out UBI or something like that, it happens under government & the Treasury, not the central bank.

Having used CRT monitors, 1920x1080 displays, 4K displays and 5K displays, as well as various Retina Macbooks over many years, mostly for coding, here's my opinion:

The only good solution today is the iMac 5K. Yes, 5K makes all the difference — it lets me comfortably fit three columns of code instead of two in my full-screen Emacs, and that's a huge improvement.

4K monitors are usable, but annoying, the scaling is just never right and fonts are blurry.

Built-in retina screens on macbooks are great, but they are small. And also, only two columns of code, not three.

One thing I noticed is that as I a) become older, b) work on progressively more complex software, I do need to hold more information on my screen(s). Those three columns of code? I often wish for four: ClojureScript code on the frontend, API event processing, domain code, database code. Being older does matter, too, because short-term memory becomes worse and it's better to have things on screen at the same time rather than switch contexts. I'm having hopes for 6K and 8K monitors, once they cost less than an arm and a leg.

So no, I don't think you can develop using "tiny laptops with poor 1366x768 displays". At least not all kinds of software, and not everyone can.

Atwood is a bit of a prima-donna and part of being a blogger is a to make big statements.

One of my roles for a long time was speccing/procuring computer equipment (later overseeing the same) for a huge diverse organization. I took feedback, complaints from users and vendors, etc. People are passionate about this stuff... I was physically threatened once, and had people bake cookies and cakes multiple times as a thank you for different things.

The only monitor complaints I recall getting in quantity were: brightness, I need 2, and i need a tilt/swivel mount. Never heard about resolution, etc. Print and graphic artists would ask for color calibrated displays. Nobody ever asked for 3, and when we started phasing in 1920x1080 displays, we literally had zero upgrade requests from the older panels.

Developers wanted 2 displays and SSDs.
Maker here. I have made DataMask Editor to scratch my own itch performing basic screenshot manipulation tasks when producing images for my blog articles and tutorials. I don't like installing software and believe that most of the desktop apps can be replaced with web applications.

Datamask Editor also compliments my DataMask Pro browser extension. Screenshots taken from the browser extension are automatically opened in the DataMask Editor. See the integration in action: https://youtu.be/xE8_zwH5jAs

A PLA is reasonably space-efficient if you need gates with a fixed set of inputs and outputs. Even the 8008 used one for instruction decoding. In addition to the microcode ROM, the 8086 has several PLAs of various sizes. For instance, one PLA converts the ALU operation into the necessary ALU control lines.

The financial aspect of this is definitely the toughest part to justify. A single monitor with this resolution is always going to be more expensive than multiple smaller monitors. The cost was justified in my experience, but that will vary depending on your use cases and budget.

Scaling just works greatly as Apple implements it. Especially, if your screen has a 200ppi or larger. Trying to change the font sizes across all applications is a sysiphus task and eventually you end up with one, which doesn't behave greatly. Especially, if one of the applications is Linux running in a VM. I have a Dell 24" 4k - and for 4k at 2x, the screen should be about 22". But with macOS I can set it to a virtual resulution of 2300, which works great.

On my 15" MB Pro, I usually use the 1680 resolution, but if needed, I can quickly change it to 1920.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but calling this E2E encryption is a marketing stunt.
