Where’s inflation? See real estate, all financial assets, medical costs, and education to name a few obvious examples. For many of the items actually included in CPI numbers, the inflation has been outsourced to third world countries.

The real demonstrable alternatives are those we had prior to eliminating the gold standard. We are now able to print our way out of recessions, at the cost of an incredibly destabilized economy comprised of asset valuations that are so high they lead to perfect correlation downward when there is a shock to confidence.
Programming is not the same thing as software development. Software development requires programming, among many other things. Programming need not be towards the acct of software development.

More specifically, I wouldn't call solving Project Euler problems "software development". It's a game, a puzzle, that requires programming. And I wouldn't call requirements analysis, UI design, testing, etc., "programming", But they are fundamental aspects of software development.

It's possible to treat programming as a calling and software development an occupation.
That's what the peer-review process is for, though -- for the peers to suggest that their papers get cited a few more times ;)

Seriously. Choosing who to cite is a discussion and a battle. It's not done thoughtlessly.

I've toyed around off and on with FUSE drivers for various purposes, and hiding information like tags and then preserving those tags on save is something you can delegate to your filesystem. The advantage is that tag-hiding now works automagically with ripgrep, your favorite editors, and any other dev tool.

You _are_ limited in that you can only detect edits during interactions with the filesystem, which is strictly less information than you'd have in an editor tracking every keystroke, but a good diffing algorithm still mostly gets the job done.
reddit has become overrun by their moderators and staff. reddit went from open discourse to pushing reddit staff agendas, not to mention the erasing of Aaron Schwartz.

The overall state of the site is just sad. I'm eager to see what replaces it next.
It is well understood that many 32-bit systems will stop working in the year 2038 when the 32-bit time_t overflows.

On the other hand, MS-DOS, which internally uses a 1980 year-epoch with a byte-sized year counter (and does not use a seconds-based epoch unlike Unixes), will be fine up to 2107, and Windows NT's timekeeping has a range of approximately 30000 years. Despite the elegance of the 1970 seconds-epoch, it's interesting to see how other systems designed roughly around that time period, a little later but not by much, chose to do something else, and as a result became quite a bit more future-proof.
Depending on how much you spend, you're likely Financially Independent. Some call it Financially Independent Retire Early abbreviated FIRE. There's a whole community talking about how to get to FIRE and what getting there means for them. Some have tried the retire early part and it wasn't for them, so they have found some work that is fulfilling to them.

Bogleheads[0] is a good community, and Reddit has /r/financialindependence and /r/fatFIRE If you search these communities, you'll find others asking for similar situations with different numbers.

You can now control what you do in your time. You can use it to improve your health, learn something new, spend time with family, or work on a passion project of yours.

If you have questions about how to invest and live off your windfall, Bogleheads is a good place to learn about that as well.

Okay, so pg posits that the people he finds and helps to become billionaires get there because they have some special insight into a solution to something people need.

He's definitely right that it is valuable to society that people who have such insights are given the opportunity to build their solutions. We all win from being in a society where more of our needs are met.

What's perhaps slightly more dubious is the idea that, by bringing that insight, the person who has it deserves to own a billion times more of a vote in how our society is run than the average person.

Because that's what wealth, what a dollar, is: it's a voting share in how society spends its time and resources. As the owner of a dollar, you get to decide whether people spend their time growing and picking and shipping some plants and making them into some bread and then putting together a sandwich for you, or if you'd rather they dig up some rocks, extract some silicon from them, imprint it with complicated patterns, and then construct it into a device you can put in your pocket that lets you see photographs of influencers.

The pg thesis here is that instigating an idea, creating something that doesn't exist, is not inherently exploitative. That is true.

But what is perhaps arguable is, that in delivering on that original founder's vision, one which attracts many of those votes for how society should spend its time from many people, and thus accumulates billions of dollars of revenue - that many people other than the original founder end up creating the organization and building the factory and working the machines and writing the software and actually serving the customers to make that solution real - a bunch of people other than the founder are involved, and... well, if you choose to structure the rewards of that organization so that all those billions of votes in the future of society accrue to the founder, while only thousands of them accrue to the people who do the work of making it happen... that it's possible to construe that distribution of rewards as maybe slightly exploitative?

First of all, most market making firms that buy order flow are not hedge funds, they are proprietary trading firms. They trade their own capital, not their investors' capital. Second of all, payment for order flow is massively beneficial for retail investors. If you look at the price improvements being offered, the zero commission, and the tight spreads being quoted, the vast majority of retail investors are benefiting greatly from this arrangement. If however you are trading large lots (hundreds of thousands of dollars worth), then the marking makers start to become somewhat more menacing.
If 86-SX/DX support was dropped in 2012, how is that relevant today? From what I understand, that table shows current or recently supported archs

One of the studies found that only 5% of the athletes they studied were only children. That presumably means 95% of the athletes had siblings.

Using 1999 data [1], 52% of US families had no children, 20% had one child, 18% had two children, 7% had 3 children, and 3% had 4 or more children.

That means that of children who had siblings in 1999, at least 59% had at least one older sibling, and at most 41% were the oldest sibling. If position within multi-sibling families was independent of chances of becoming a great athlete, we would expect great athletes to be more likely to be younger siblings simply because there are more younger siblings.

If we toss only children athletes in with the oldest child athletes from multi-child families, it doesn't make much difference because with only 5% of athletes being only children there simply aren't enough to tip the balance. It only brings it down to 56% have at least one older sibling, 44% do not have an older sibling.

This suggests that a better question would be "Why are only children less likely to become great athletes?"

A bit off topic, but unit test coverage trivializes the work that goes into conducting a migration. Unit test coverage really only pertains to upgrades. A migration is not synonymous with an upgrade. Migrations are serious work that typically span entire ecosystems.

When I mentioned "the numbers" I wasn't hinting at unit test coverage. I was giving examples as to what the numbers could be. Obviously OP should ask lots of questions about all of the software running on a legacy kernel.

“Texas Has a Lot Going for It” – Bay Area Residents Agree
I am unclear on your first sentence and bracketed section. My point was that people generally share the view that printing money is without cost and that this is incorrect. The government cannot magically print money and provide goods and services without cost, via future tax increases or inflation. There’s no free lunch.

Found myself in a situation needing it a few weeks ago and was like, ugh, what do I do now.
I mean, I do own a rubber mallet - it's quite good for what it does!

But, no, I would buy a tool that fits my purpose. If my purpose is to hit a baseball, or hammer in a nail, I'd buy a real bat, or a real hammer, because that's the purpose of the tool.

If my goal was to swing it at a friend, though, I'd probably go for the foam bat. Just like, if my purpose was to build a piece of software to archive emails, I would build it so as that it is clearly its purpose, and it would be engineered in a way to make it challenging if not impossible to be used to secretly abscond with someone else's conversations.

You seem to be interpreting my response as "people shouldn't build tools that can be used for dangerous purposes", when instead I am saying, "you should understand, and take steps to ensure, that the tools you create are used for their intended purpose." Hopefully that purpose isn't spying on people, but if it is, be up-front about it!

It depends on how much money you make. Here in Maryland, for a family of four making $70,000 per year, the premium is under $300/month for a high deductible plan, and under $500 for a low deductible plan. Even a family making $100,000 receives federal subsidies: a low-deductible plan is under $800/month, and a high-deductible plan is under $450/month.

We implemented a sweeping healthcare reform a decade ago now. You can't just pretend that never happened.
Curious as to why not simply use UUIDs instead?

Its extremely easy to use uuids as the primary key; make the column a `uuid` type and the `uuid-ossp` extension will generate them. Your sql would look like:

post_id uuid DEFAULT uuid_generate_v4(),

PRIMARY_KEY(post_id)

Loosely coupled code could well have unit testing and mocking covering >90% with great results. We should not conflate unit and integrations tests here. I have also found regression testing to be a great way to declare and interpret intent when trying to understand someone else's code.

I think the classic book "Working Effectively with Legacy Code" declared "legacy code" to simply be code that has no tests.
That would have been a better movie…

no good pointers offhand, but the likeliest source is contact tracing programs. they understandably seem to be more focused on tracing over paper-writing. in any case, here's one published study from hunan: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/11/23/scie...

this quote sums up their findings:

> "The average risk of transmission scales positively with the closeness of social interactions: the average per-contact risk is lowest for community exposures (including contacts in the public transportation system and at food and entertainment venues), intermediate for social and extended family contacts, and highest in the household. The average transmission risk in the household is further elevated when intense physical distancing is enforced, and for contacts that last longer."

the intuition is also pretty straightforward--we let our guard around those closest to us, who also happen to be those we spend the most time with. those are the two primary factors (closeness and contact time) for transmission. social gatherings are that layer just beyond the household where we are most exposed on those dimensions.
It's really not. The main political subreddit /r/politics has just become an echo chamber even though they claim to be unbiased. The way reddit is designed and built only results in these echo chambers. Politics on reddit, especially over the past 4 years, ends up seeping into even non-political subreddits.

reddit makes money off rage.
"The omitted research is clearly relevant" -- how do you know? Why do you get to decide?

I wrote a paper recently in which I omitted most tangentially-related papers in mathematical physics, as they would not be mathematically accessible to the audience in question and also do not address the questions posed in the paper. A mathematical physicist wrote to me and was grumpy about it. Fine, I added his name one more time to make him happy. That's the reality of research papers.

It's clear that Google didn't want to be affiliated with this paper. And it's clear that it's time for Gebru to find a place with intellectual freedom, so her work can be judged on its merits.
My internal version that felt at least consistent with the article is: if you have a mental model of how things are or should be, and the way things turn out doesn’t match it, adjust your expectations to account for what does happen. My own adjustment to that is: keep an eye on what can be if it’s demonstrated, and how it was accomplished, for predictive and proactive purposes.
Someone mentioned in a previous post that it works well for /r/watches and I agree with them. It seems to be beneficial for image based subreddits where you're interested in seeing the majority of the images and only occasionally dive into the comments.

Great for mindlessly scrolling images, but less so for content that you pick and choose what to view, text based content, and commenting. I think it'll come back to hurt them in the long run.
Maybe in the US. House ownership isn't that common in every country. It's rather difficult to charge your car at home in an apartment building.

No, but if I were a bat designer, I would be hesitant to sell a baseball bat full of nails under the guise of "meat tenderizer". Even though it may actual work as intended (tenderizing steaks), the way it is most likely to actually be used the majority of the time so obviously overshadows it that the product probably shouldn't be created, let alone sold.

The big issue with the traditional car industry is how fragmented it is. OEMs, third party websites, and individual dealerships are not only on different tech stacks, they’re financially independent companies that by and large can’t be forced to work together. It’s not uncommon for OEMs to pay dealerships for data through third party websites, since they lack the ability to share certain types of data directly.

One of Tesla’s advantages is unquestionably their more centralized structure. They can make changes that other OEMs can’t.
No regrets man. Think things thru as if you could look back at your death bed.

Hiring 101: Hierarchy of Analytical Needs
I live in a poor country like this -- it's odd to me that there is a huge stigma against giving even a few dollars directly to beggar children, but if it's a factory paying them the same amount for a day's work then it's ok for you as the consumer to indirectly pay that wage through your purchase.

I only know of 2 cases where I know for sure that it happened, although I've heard rumors about more. It's not going to be one of those things where you run around yelling about it, especially if you succeeded (after all, flexing on your management that you did it is likely to make your management unhappy).

One case someone succeeded. The other case some other person resigned.

I agree with you about how taboo it is among a certain type of journalist to write about the considerable problems of poor and working class whites.

But in light of your comment about the Sackler family, I'll add another opinion that is unpopular these days: people with severe chronic pain deserve appropriate treatment. And they shouldn't be denied access to that treatment (like they are now) because addicts and corrupt doctors misused the product. Addicts deserve sympathy and compassionate treatment, but we shouldn't ban an entire class of useful medications because of the addicts' misuse (eg, we don't ban cars because some people drive drunk).

If you've never known serious chronic pain, all I can tell you is that it's a different world than the one I knew before I got sick.
Visualizing Poker Hands Geometrically
I've built a few electron apps lately. That's an advantage, but another important one is that you can use node APIs in what is otherwise basically a webapp. The app I'm working on now is an SSH server monitoring thing, which wouldn't be possible in the browser (maybe with wasm, but /shrug).

I should mention though that desktop apps seem to have an order of magnitude conversion rate than web apps... it's been a slog.
