When additional government spending doesn't lead to inflation, one obvious reason is that it is utilising what would otherwise be excess unused/idle capacity in the real economy.

It's only when the spending exceeds the amount of otherwise idle capacity that inflation occurs, as too much money chases too little real production.

It's evident that the economic shocks this year have idled a great deal of economic capacity.

There are limits to that. If you carry an extra gas tank, then you're lifting even more mass- fuel is heavy! There are significant diminishing returns on carrying more fuel.

That said, you do make some great points- I could well be wrong.

Economic activity, ie. labor productivity has increased 252.9% since 1950, but pay has only increased 115.6%[1].

The wealthy and especially the very wealthy have prospered[2], and those doing manual labor have been left behind. In a society like the US with very low social mobility[3], colloquially referred to as 'the american dream', it is especially crippling to ones future to be born in blue collar family.

There should be strict laws around collecting the data in the first place. Only minimal, absolutely needed data should be collected.

I remember shopping at a well known, large electronics store in NY. The cashier insisted on taking down my phone number and email. When I asked why, he said "if you decide to return the items". I told him I will produce the receipt, but this turned into an argument. I didn't want to waste other people's time over a 30$ purchase, so I just left without buying. This is just a small example of the abuse that we put up with everyday

What features should we be using in git that typical developers don't use?

I would guess some kind of answer involving complex branching schemes and/or "octopus merges", but I consider myself a fairly advanced git user and find those too hard to understand. I always stick to simple linear histories with occasional stable branches.
I don't think it's good for -consumers- in the majority of cases and is only for those selling the software. I think anything else is rationalization in the mind of the developer. New versions should sell themselves as they provide security and feature upgrades if it's a good product.

Welcome to my live :) We 'hired' these experts since they came up with the lowest price offer for our certification. I have been through many certifications in the past, this was one was the most... shameful.

Pathetic grasp of English, IT in general and security controls specifically. We passed that in absolutely zero time, if you exclude the time spend having lunch and 'discussions' about the interpretation of the requirements.

This was PCI BTW.

Next was the local healthcare certification, done by an international auditing firm. Possibly even worst. Total paper tiger exercise. Total lack of understanding of current security standards. Nice ties & suits though and even better lunches to discuss (you guessed it) the interpretation of the requirements.

I get why these guys get the jobs: they know the right people and look the part. But boy, would it not be nice if experts could do these jobs.

It's pretty obvious. Space is harsh. Even just doing colonization within the solar system is hard to swallow. It's not possible to live on most planets even if we assume that everyone stays in what amounts to a grounded space station. Since we have not yet unlocked fusion we will always have to stay close to the sun. Mars is already too far away. Venus has an extreme atmosphere that causes it to be extremely hot. If a crackpot said we have to build a 100000 person colony in space this century we would have to start on the moon even though there is no water there. The primary reason would be that we are still close enough to the sun that we can use solar panels to generate energy. Space colonization without fusion is simply put: a joke.

If space was easy then our galaxy would have been devoured by some grey goo AI (not life) a long time ago. Life has to build artificial habitats and live in them. AIs can just stay in space forever as long as they can gather enough resources.

Python is really useful as it getting new updates everyday! This is really a language which gives comfort to us especially as a programmer.
Well I agree that the initial cause may not be the printing of the money itself, but it is hard to deny that “print enough money in hopes to stabilize the economy” is not a problem. It takes a bad situation and makes it worse. Because even if the US and Chile are having issues and Chile then prints 1 million for all its citizens and then comes to my county and they all say we have a million now we want to spend in your country it doesn’t really work. I think my point is it is two separate matter yes there was something crippling their economy ie sanctions but printing money still was the cause of inflation. Another option would be look at what is causing sanctions and work to resolve that.

Many working parents can find ~2 hours, once or twice a week - especially once the kids are old enough not to need constant supervision.

It's not like you're a bad parent if you're only reading them a bedtime story 5 days a week instead of 7.

Of course, there are still a lot of things competing for that discretionary time - exercise, or a job with a longer commute, or socialising, or working late, or professional development, or volunteering, or a hobby, or relaxing, or political engagement.

And hell, if you like that extra 2 evenings reading bedtime stories more than you like bowling, that's a completely valid choice too. Wouldn't have had kids if you didn't like that sort of thing, after all.
The problem with this software is that it uses a different channel to transfer the large binaries.

I would say that Python is quirky for having functions at all and as a Rubyist it is confusing why some things are functions in Python when they could be methods. This leads to a much simpler mental model in Ruby.

The syntax in Python also leaves much desired (e.g. use of underscores) and most of Ruby's quirks are Perlisms such as $1.

The report fails to address the non-importance of a new variant.

Every single new infection introduces around 3 new mutations into the derived virii to infect others in the next 5 days. Around 95% of these mutations are deletions, leading to less severity and higher transmissibility. So why is now higher transmissibility newsworthy? Do they report that a rice bag fell to ground in China? No, obviously not.

So if we estimate around 2 million infections so far, we can estimate 15 million mutations, if which around 6m infected someone. So they caught 2 of those 6m in Africa. Great reporting! They could have caught them in their local hospital also. Hundreds!

It's mysterious to me how the public's opinion is formed of what economists say. The view inside the field is very different, and doesn't resemble what you say at all. Nobody in the field worries about hyperinflation for developed economies. The consensus is that governments can combat recessions. There was some challenge to this view in the late 70s and early 80s, when inflation was high, but by the end of the 90s the question was mostly settled. In the US, even the economic advisors to George W. Bush called for stimulus spending to combat the recession in 2000.
July 1573 was little more than a year out from the death of Pope Pius V, whose birth name was Antonio Ghislieri and who took the name Michele when he entered the Dominican Order at age 14 (ordained a priest in that Order about 10 years later). Note the blog post relates that "[Paolo Veronese] had been commissioned by the Dominicans to make a particularly large painting for the refectory of their monastery."

When elected as the Bishop of Rome, Pius V took on a reform of monumental scope, not lacking much sternness: the papacy itself over many recent decades had been occupied by men more of overt excesses and opulence than of other qualities good or ill. The cleanup efforts continued at pace long after his death across the whole of the western Catholic Church.

That's a bit of context for the events in 1573 involving Paolo Veronese, fair or unfair. I think it would be interesting to learn more of the back story of his artistic direction for that particular commission. In any case, in the atmosphere of 1573 (vs. say the High Renaissance that ended about 50 years earlier), in a Dominican monastery no less, I don't think it's shocking that the painting could have been suspected to be impious or irreligious.
Warning: opionion from someone who primarily used python a long time ago

Ruby's design is a lot more consistent/predictable/ergonomic than python. the ruby standard library is honestly amazing (see: https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.7.2/Enumerable.html)

Everything is an object, methods take blocks where that makes sense. stuff just feels well thought out and generally when I learn something new about ruby I think 'wow that makes sense' and not 'why would you do it like that'.

There also seems to be much much less churn from a tooling perspective. Learn how gems/bundler works and you're set.

Also, ruby can be a (in my experience) superior replacement for awk.

Brief example, -n is loop over current line as $_, -l is clean up line endings

cat .zsh_history | ruby -nle 'BEGIN{$x=[]}; $x << $_.encode("UTF-8", invalid: :replace, replace: ""); END{$x.sort_by{ _1.count("|") }}'

I was trying to find some longer pipelines from my command history. encode is stripping out a bunch of invalid utf-8, otherwise it would have just been $x<<$_

or, pick a random line from stdin:

ls | ruby -e 'puts ARGF.to_a.sample'

I was able to get $firstname.{dev,app}. My idea was to deploy my apps at $app.$firstname.{dev,app} for dev and prod stages respectively. Now I only need apps that I can deploy there. I am still a bit reluctant to use either one as my primary email address (still relying on .org) because I worry that certain sites will reject those fancy email addresses.

I should say that I am more attached to my first name than my last name because the former is slightly more special and thus more "unique" (also it sounds cute when people say it in English).

Rush: An open source MQTT GUI for macOS in development
They may sound a bit cheeky, but those humans are us. I was happy when a client had asked something and I realised I didn't have to do it because our machine learning platform had already what was requested.

We had built it precisely to free us from certain repetitive things in machine learning projects [environment set up, near real-time collaboration on notebooks, scheduling long-running notebooks, experiment tracking, model deployment and monitoring]. We used to scramble and do all that, request help from our colleagues and pull them from what they were doing. This was really taxing and bad for morale, jumping around from one context to another.

I had a huge smile contemplating all the work I was about to not do.

There are many things where the humans themselves ought to be "augmented". Case in point, in some projects involving predictive maintenance, the stakes of an incident can be around $100MM and all these processes depend on a human being alert at all times during their very long shift, with a bunch of other things happening simultaneously. This is very stressful and these people actually want to be "augmented". They want something to help them and catch things they would have missed because they haven't had proper sleep or were too busy solving another urgent and important problem. It is the people themselves who come to us and ask us for our help to help them solve these problems.

It may sound cheeky, and in many cases at many companies it is cheeky and it is PR like saying "partners" instead of "drivers", or "dashers" instead of "delivery person". In some cases it really is what happens. At least from my biased perspective with the actual humans who were asking for "augmentation" to do their job.
There are other studies showing the same picture.

> Git still works great.

Of course, for people that know how to use it. I'd argue that the heavy use of Github combined with the adoption of advanced Git workflows is currently the biggest threat to open source. There's no such thing as "submitting a patch" these days. You're expected to be a master of a project's Github workflow to contribute. Most of us (myself included, with a few exceptions) just don't bother.
Thanks, I've added these 2 to my reading list.
You're right, and it doesn't absolve Apple, and Apple knows that. Which is why Apple does what it can to ameliorate those kinds of labor issues. Those efforts aren't perfect, but Apple gives it a shot, at least. Apple isn't in a position to tell Wistron or Foxconn or anyone else exactly how to run their business. All Apple can do is measures like putting a supplier on probation until issues are addressed (like with Wistron lately), or (limited) wage demands, or threats to choose another supplier next time. But there are a very limited number of suppliers that can realistically fill demand, and none of them are paying $40/hour and building charter schools and condos for employees.

It’s early days on my test drive. I don’t know how well it’ll fare for fairly common actions in bash like “here documents” or what the equiv of shopt extglob is in pwsh.

My usual cli usage is what i’d call “text manipulation” - slicing and dicing command output or converting csv-like data in some way or another.

My toolset is the usual suspects - bash, sed & awk but beyond a certain complexity i’ll switch to python.

The key thing for me is i can still use grep, sed, awk and python in pipelines as before but i’m attracted by the easy data access in pwsh.

The idea that Get-Process returns an object and i can just query each process’s WSS attribute for example is appealing right now (as opposed to explicitly manipulating text to suit, e.g. grep resident /proc/*/statm or ps -o rss or whatever approach)

They were there at the same time (or before) git, and they don't provide significantly more value than they did then.

While I do think they provide value beyond what git offers (my kingdom for revsets instead of the hell that is gitrevisions(7)!) the "market" rejected them then, it has little reason to switch now.
