How do you define inflation, and what benefits do you see with inflation free money?

Inflation itself is a policy, intended to generate incentives. In addition, the central bank mechanisms for inflation are themselves "biased" in various ways.

Mechanically, it would be trivial to have a zero-inflation policy, but there are just too many stakeholders for it to be possible.
Check out the RandomX PoW algorithm for Monero. To get around the ASIC resistance issue, they instead targeted a particular component (the CPU) and designed the algorithm around it.

It works really well, FPGAs and ASICs seem to have been stopped in their tracks.
> 90% of the developers and IT staff I work with are GUI only.

That's weird to me, but I'm in the embedded space. GUIs aren't scriptable (or aren't easily scriptable) which, for me and the teams I've been in, has basically been a no-go. If we can't script it, we can't automate it (easily), so we don't want to use it. A GUI + (good) CLI is a reasonable compromise. GUI helps us do some things, explore the tools/space, and then the CLI for all our automation.

> Finally for those pointy hair bosses a CLI only service is hard to sign a check for, since they can't really "see it" even if you send a great invoice.

Again, weird to me. But also still the embedded space. We buy tools with no GUI (or an awful one, but a decent CLI) all the time.
> Look at how well that worked.

That's a pretty thoughtless view. Maybe it did work, and it delayed gay marriage for two decades. Maybe it did work, and marriage rates would be 10% without a top-down media campaign, instead of the 50% it is today.

Clearly it didn't WIN completely, but that argument's like saying "Well we've banned murder, and look at how well that worked!"... it's really hard to find natural experiments to test a thesis that these initiatives work or not.

Android isn't Java though. It's some frankenstein contraption made from a mutated version of Java from a decade ago.

I personally wouldn't ever choose Scala for anything. It's tooling is horrible (Sbt is a special hell, and scalac is as slow as a C++ compiler).

I'm currently in a code base like you describe, scala core with a switch to Java. It's not fun. Were stuck with these legacy library and framework choices that don't fit into the Java ecosystem and it slows down development considerably.

I think they will regret switching to QML. It isn't nearly as robust as QtWidgets and doesn't scale to large apps like this very well (I'm not actually aware of any large apps that use QML).

If it were me I would wait until Qt 6 is released. The Qt developers are making some changes to QML that sound like they have learned at least some lessons (e.g. adding strong typing, not relying on Javascript).

That is a fair point. I do recognize the need to differentiate the two as soon as it becomes obvious that someone is trying to use the term to dispute the facts, but I find that most people just want to use the term they know and end up feeling burned if they're corrected while they're already trying to advance the cause.
correct, the documentary isn't about watching kids twerk for a few hours.

For me, a killer feature of evil-mode is the "hybrid" state (`evil-disable-insert-state-bindings`) that allows to use emacs (aka readline) keybindings in insert mode.

When I have only a minor edit to make in the middle of typing something (like transposing two characters) it saves me the back-and-forth with the normal mode and it's really sweet.

It probably makes me an heretical freak, but I'm definitely hooked. I guess I am condemned to live the rest of my life in emacs now.
RNNs looks to me like an acronym with a lowercase part. Like “RNN simple” or something. The apostrophe is less ambiguous in this context.

This sounds interesting. Can you expound a bit more?

This is vague and anecdotal but I find about 80% of what I want to do in TS with types I find very easy to do, 10% I find annoying but possible, and then maybe 10% it just doesn't work.

Oh, really?

CNBC: Postal Service data shows poor mail-in ballot delivery rate in key swing states, judge suggests Postmaster General DeJoy might have to testify.

KEY POINTS

The Postal Service on Election Day failed to deliver a significant percentage of mail-in ballots to several states that could determine who wins the presidential contest between President Donald Trump and Joe Biden, data filed with a federal court suggested Wednesday.

The states seeing relatively poor levels of mail deliveries of ballots include Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin, all of which have yet to declare victors in their tallies for Trump and Biden.

The states affected include Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin.

Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan was furious at Postal officials for failing to inform him Tuesday of their failure to do sweeps at mail facilities for ballots by a mid-afternoon deadline.

Be careful not to confuse consumer hardware with business hardware. There are plenty of business hardware use cases where customers are definitely willing to pay money for something that amounts to a few hundred dollars worth of off the shelf components, custom PCBs, well-written control logic, and fanatical customer support. You just probably don't encounter this kind of hardware because it's out of the public eye in manufacturing, logistics, etc. operations and getting to those customers requires knowing the target industry (or knowing people who do).
I live by very suspiciously similar rules of thumb although my tolerance in the past for dynamic scripting languages was probably closer to several hundred lines of code.

However, I have to acknowledge that modern IDEs (and even advanced code editors like VSCode) have pretty good support for dynamic scripting languages these days that make working with them in larger code bases not entirely painful.

you would have to have in-depth chemistry and legal knowledge to know exactly what is illegal under the US analogues act. but if you can't show that a substance is closely related to something already under schedule I or II, it is legal (or at least not illegal) by default. now that the popular 2C-x's have been explicitly added to schedule I, my guess is that the whole family is on thin ice, if not unambiguously illegal.

Python is a worthy successor to Java.

Complexity in this case is less of a measure and more of a foundational definition: There exists a such thing as "complexity" that requires a certain level of upkeep, and if that upkeep surpasses the value gained from the complexity than the society is prone to a sudden loss of complexity when some kind of stress is imposed on society. It's pretty straightforward but gives us very little predictions because it's so abstract.
Worth taking a moment to contemplate for second factors whether the credentials you have could "leak" like this.

* For SMS 2FA you might leak the user's phone number which isn't good, but even if you "leak" the 2FA code it's transient and will very quickly be worthless

* For TOTP leaking the current TOTP code (either entered by a user or calculated locally) is transient again, but if you instead leak the seed (which you have) that's fatal.

* For other types of single use codes leaking a code that was successfully presented isn't a problem (it was single use and now won't work) but leaking codes you've generated (e.g. from a "new codes" page) is fatal.

* With WebAuthn you (the relying party) do not have any secret credentials at all, so you can leak everything you have and it makes no difference to the system's security so long as you implemented it correctly.

My understanding is that Turing machines assume infinite memory -- could you help me understand how this differs? I'm guessing that I'm not understanding your point, but if "finite memory" is a disqualifier then Turing machines aren't Turing-complete.

Ask HN: What made your company move to Kubernetes?
A friend of mine works at a small startup, ~15 engineers, 3 services/containers.

He said one of the biggest reasons for them to move from ECS to Kubernetes was that people were refusing to go work there because they were not on Kubernetes.

It's crazy because now they have 3 business logic containers and ~20 infrastructure containers to take care of.

What made your company switch?
One typical scenario; (rich people) take loans to buy assets. The loan itself causes inflation, and asset prices will rise. Then wages and cash savings have less relative value. Wages won't be affected until the firms can increase prices, which might happen much later.
Still accessible here: https://www.reddit.com/.mobile
I don't believe in money without inflation, such a system is not stable. Every physical asset depreciates (loses its use value), due to physics. So if money, which can be exchanged for something of value, wouldn't depreciate, the corresponding value not lost would have to be created just for the money holders. So it wouldn't pay off to give money away and the economic activity would decrease. The result would be deflation.

So I believe some inflation rate is natural, by virtue of money being medium of value exchange. Now if the economy is exchanging more goods and services, i.e. growing, it is certainly possible for the government to increase amount of money temporarily without causing additional inflation. But in general, it requires exploitation of some new resource that was previously unexploited, so it cannot be done indefinitely and it's often hand-waved away by assuming equilibrium.

However, during economic recovery, the economy is not in equilibrium, the crisis by definition creates untapped resources, such as unemployed labor, and new possibility to grow again, so the government can apply this as an economic policy.

Sorry, Nat, but reading that is doing nothing much to restore the goodwill that has been eroded by this whole affair.

The DMCA works in much the way that its authors, the telcos and the MPAA and RIAA intended it to. To indemnify ISP's in return for their becoming enforcers for rights-holders ridiculously over-broad "anti-circumvention" clauses[0] which lead to outrageous abuses of the law (including anti-trust violations, attacks on the rights of consumers, academics, etc).

Now, Microsoft's lobbying machinery must have been in its infancy back then so the blame can't entirely be laid at their feet. But Microsoft don't seem to be doing anything to help either.

Fundamental to the problem is that youtube-dl (and many others) seem to be obvious candidates for exceptions to DMCA 1201. But the process around those exceptions seems not be working at all. Something which Microsoft appears completely tone-deaf and oblivious to[1].

So, with respect, I suggest you... get a grip to how you guys are going to be being perceived in this situation.

I think being CLI-first (and maybe API-first) is a really clever strategy. My gut feeling is that it’s much easier to get a CLI/API right than to get a GUI right. So you can just expose an API or a machine-parsable CLI, and let people who care enough to build their own wrapper GUIs the way they want.
Emotions just are. Thoughts come and go, but we may or may not pick the ones on which we loiter. If undesirable emotions ebe when we loiter on certain thoughts, repeated behaviors may emerge. Let's do this to get rid of that emotion, your brain might say to itself.

Missing something, like your sunglasses, makes you wonder where they are, look for them, call people asking if you left them over, etc. This is worry, which is a light version of fear.

"Missing out" isn't like looking your sunglasses but still makes you wonder if where you are isn't where you should be, which is still a type of anxious behavior which will lead to repetition if the emotional response is allowed to go on unchecked.
