> Nobody in the field worries about hyperinflation for developed economies.

They might not, but could you ELI5 why they shouldn't be? Because as the interest payment on national debt grows, what happens eventually if not hyperinflation? You can't keep borrowing money to pay interest on existing debt, so you'll have to start printing money, right? How do you avoid eventual hyperinflation when you keep borrowing more and more money to increase your debt even more?
When you say "tell webpack where to put the files" what do you mean exactly? I recommend just making one bundle per "app" (can be configured as different entry points in your webpack config), and then using the outputs as standard Django static files. I found django-webpack-loader to be a little to magical for my taste and solving a problem that didn't really exist for me (the need for refreshless hot reloading).

> perforce is part of why Git was created.

In what way?
I'm not sure I understand your last sentence. If you're going to move the registration to Cloudflare, why not start on Cloudflare?
I've been in your shoes. I had gradually reduced contact to everyone who at that point was still trying to stay in touch, getting people used to me not answering the phone or replying to their messages for ever longer periods. I figured noone would be shocked this way when they finally learned that i'd ditched life.

I was in a state of permanent daze and confusion then, lots of drinking and whatever substances I could get my hands on.

While I had plans made, I had this spur of the moment idea that seemed pretty sane while I was high: I'd at least get a kick out of my life being teh suck, so I got myself into a situation with basically 50/50 chance of dying and beyond my control. I lived and one of the worst hangovers ever. Since I wasn't exactly thrilled with the outcome, I repeated this kind of coin toss with different setups, in total two more times.

The experiences were definitely less shit than my reasons for getting to this point in the first place. In fact, I'd never felt so alive. My problems were not magically gone but now I was curious what else in life I had never thought of, what else I might be missing out on by taking an early exit. I was pretty young and suddenly realized that as of yet I had no idea what to even expect of the future.

I regard everything I've experienced since then as bonus time. I got over the reasons for everything being shit and feeling like shit. Turned out it was mental illness responding well to medication.

Since then, a lot has happened, both good and bad, but it was worth the ride. I have no more reason to fear death, a luxury few are granted early in life. I know there's always an exit option but so far, I've been too curious about what happens next to consider it again.

Now, I won't tell you bullshit like "hurr durr, life is so beautiful, don't throw it away…". The world can be an utter pile of shit and so can the people it spawned and if you go on living, the only thing certain is that you'll have to deal with more world shit and more people shit.

But consider, if you're a curious person, that you'll be missing out on a once in a lifetime experience. You'd be surprised.

I don't regret having stayed for the encore.
It's so sad to see cool Linux tools without a Windows version:(

I get why; I'm just sad - especially because some Linux users are annoyed by "Windows only" tools and then they use linux only features, that never can't be ported to other operating systems as well(not because lack of people, but incompatibility).

Planner is one of those amazing niche tools that doesn't exist for Windows. It looks amazing - congrats!
She was being led by her mother. She was to naive to believe her mother's bs. I could have tried to convince her that her mother is only taking her on a path of destruction.
I'm surprised Phabricator hasn't been mentioned. I haven't used it much, but it's rather huge in some circles.
> That we had the tools to fight poverty and create better living conditions all along but deliberately didn’t chose to do so?

Yes, that's it in a nutshell. Even the standard 1940s mainstream Keynes doctrine is quite clear on the no hyper-inflation scenario - additional money supply will not result in excess inflation unless the economy is at full employment. And by full employment, it doesn't mean the headline unemployment rate of ~5% quoted in media. It means high labor force participation rates (currently at historical lows), low underemployment (currently at historical highs) and low unemployment rate. The fact we see persistently low inflation rates throughout the developed world for decades is intimately tied to these stats.

By finally having time to read Keynes directly from his own works, it's amazing how prescient the man was. Sans the dandy early 20th century English, these quotes are just as applicable today as they were in 1930s:

> ...the richer the community, the wider will tend to be the gap between its actual and its potential production; and therefore the more obvious and outrageous the defects of the economic system.

> [on classical economics] That it reached conclusions quite different from what the ordinary uninstructed person would expect, added to its intellectual prestige. That its teaching, translated into practice, was austere and often unpalatable, lent it virtue. [...] That it could explain much social injustice and apparent cruelty as an inevitable incident in the scheme of progress [...] commended it to authority.

> professional economists, after Malthus, were apparently unmoved by the lack of correspondence between the results of their theory and the facts of observation;— a discrepancy which the ordinary man has not failed to observe

> For Todoist users, the Board View was introduced in this new update, a more visual way to organize your Planner projects.

For someone not familiar with Planner, this sentence was really confusing for me, "for users of other service, there's a feature in this service", and it's not clear what the connection is.
As I pointed out with the firewall / VPN changes, most of their recent actions are all directed at ensuring that only Apple gets to decide how you protect your data (and what you can protect). And these these major changes that take away control from the user also help Apple to harvest more and more user data. (Another similar change, that allowed Apple to spy on your internet browsing "anonymously", was made with Safari when it disabled the user options to control cookies and crippled ad and tracker blocker extensions.)

> The porcelain would deserve a more consistent and easier to use implementation.

Many have taken a crack at it over the years, from very early on.

Issue's no porcelain will even replace the built-in one (and what improvements are added to the standard are generally flawed to hell, just look at how messy the brand new `git switch` already is, the git core team simply has no taste when it comes to CLI), and as the creator of a new high-level CLI by the time you'll have good enough feature coverage for it to be useful you'll know the plumbing so well the porcelain will make perfect sense. So you'll abandon the project as offering little value for the maintenance cost. And a few years later somebody else will come in and create their own, and repeat the cycle.
By instilling fear. When I was there, there were many stories of ‘the yellow team’ coming down on you if you were ever under suspicion
IMO what the open source community really needed is a google3 like CI system if only to give library/ecosystem projects like Gnome a greater appreciation of just how much havoc they've wreaked downstream and a better sense of usage patterns in general.

IMO the utter disaster that was gnome3/gtk3 transition is what killed what momentum there was for a mainstream Linux desktop.
> I see you use multiple monitors, does Sizer play well with them?

It supports them well.

It has a drop down box where you can define the monitor you want for a specific entry and then window positions will be relative to that monitor.

Alternatively you can also set a window's position to any X / Y coordinate. So if you had let's say 2x 2560x14440 monitors and you wanted to position a window to the 2nd monitor you can tell Sizer to move it to X coordinate 3050 and it would be +500 pixels into the 2nd monitor. You just need to enable the checkbox "allow move outside screen bounds". That could be useful I guess if you wanted a window to span more than 1 monitor and you have super thin bezels.
I think this is already common, especially on the new wave of gTLDs.

I registered a ".plus" domain for $2 a year for two years. It made a decent domain hack for a project.

After two years, the renewal price became $20-ish. The project had a new name by then, so I didn't renew.

The same happened for a personal Chinese domain (.网站 I think) that I had for a couple of years while I was learning Chinese.

The Abstract of the paper A genetic history of the pre-contact Caribbean [1]:

> Humans settled the Caribbean about 6,000 years ago, and ceramic use and intensified agriculture mark a shift from the Archaic to the Ceramic Age at around 2,500 years ago. Here we report genome-wide data from 174 ancient individuals from The Bahamas, Haiti and the Dominican Republic (collectively, Hispaniola), Puerto Rico, Curaçao and Venezuela, which we co-analysed with 89 previously published ancient individuals. Stone-tool-using Caribbean people, who first entered the Caribbean during the Archaic Age, derive from a deeply divergent population that is closest to Central and northern South American individuals; contrary to previous work, we find no support for ancestry contributed by a population related to North American individuals. Archaic-related lineages were >98% replaced by a genetically homogeneous ceramic-using population related to speakers of languages in the Arawak family from northeast South America; these people moved through the Lesser Antilles and into the Greater Antilles at least 1,700 years ago, introducing ancestry that is still present. Ancient Caribbean people avoided close kin unions despite limited mate pools that reflect small effective population sizes, which we estimate to be a minimum of 500–1,500 and a maximum of 1,530–8,150 individuals on the combined islands of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola in the dozens of generations before the individuals who we analysed lived. Census sizes are unlikely to be more than tenfold larger than effective population sizes, so previous pan-Caribbean estimates of hundreds of thousands of people are too large. Confirming a small and interconnected Ceramic Age population, we detect 19 pairs of cross-island cousins, close relatives buried around 75 km apart in Hispaniola and low genetic differentiation across islands. Genetic continuity across transitions in pottery styles reveals that cultural changes during the Ceramic Age were not driven by migration of genetically differentiated groups from the mainland, but instead reflected interactions within an interconnected Caribbean world.

The “Ceramics” were an Arawak [2] speaking culture:

> Arawakan speakers in the Caribbean were also historically known as the Taíno, a term meaning "relatives". The Spanish assumed some islanders used this term to distinguish their group from the neighbouring Island Caribs [3].

It's the OS.

CoreAudio is native to macOS/iOS and very stable. The latency is low and most of the time you don't need to install anything: just plug an USB. It even provides APIs for running the plugins, if the DAW wants to use AU. Hell, even the built-in interfaces has good latency on Macs. Also, if you have multiple, different branded interfaces, Apple provides a tool to "merge them" so your DAW pretends it's only one.

On Windows you need an alternative third-party driver solution, ASIO, just to get proper latency. Microsoft tried DirectAudio, Kernel Audio, among other tech, but it never worked and/or never caught on. Even ASIO is not as stable as CoreAudio and requires installing (sometimes unstable) third-party driver software and control panels. IME, sometimes those drivers conflict with each other, so you can't use multiple soundcards at the same time, or swap them. Most people eventually get there, but it still feels like a house of cards.

There's a lot of small studios that choose Hackintoshes, so it's not really the hardware, although M1 might change that, who knows.
I've also found that the Computer Language Benchmarks Game benchmarks tend to be less and less representative of real workloads, due to what the benchmarks do and to the philosophy of "write it to make it fast, not idiomatic, and parallelize things that would typically not be parallelized".
Just taking a look at the benchmark code makes it clear it's very far from idiomatic Ruby code.
Ah sheeit. I misremembered. The linux kernel used to use bitkeeper not perforce.

Why Should You Write on News Break
One problem with determining how a civilization could travel is we only know what we know now or can reasonably speculate. A hundred years ago we didn't really have the ability to even get into orbit much less imaging visiting another star. Today we can imagine ways but they are insanely expensive and likely to take dozens of years or even centuries at best. Assuming constant progress in technology we might be able to get there faster by waiting decades than by leaving now. Even the absolute limit of light speed, while impossible to imagine today, might turn out to be less of on obstacle in some future understanding of physics. It's hard to predict the future since all you have is today's knowledge.

Some notes from a quick browse:

- Written in Vala, using GTK

- Uses sqlite

- Meson+ninja as build system (which I like)

If it ran on Android too I'd replace Orgzly with this as I wish to have a tool I use both on my phone and laptop, synchronized via Syncthing (so far orgmode in emacs + orgzly gives me what I want, but I wish I had something a bit more pretty and user friendly like this Planner).
Your approach doesn't result in "a working device" for most users, it results in the situation where you need to buy a new device, to get a new driver, to fix a purely software bug that could have been fixed in the class driver covering your old device instead but that was less profitable and priority #1 is always to bow before the almighty dollar.

Every time Windows ships a new version, users with hardware that worked fine but alas, wasn't shifting too many new units through retail, find now it doesn't work. "Buy a new one, then you'll get updated drivers" people like you cry. More landfill, for no reason.

Real users hate this experience and are relieved when you tell them that some device they're getting doesn't "need drivers". Of course it does actually need drivers, it just uses the OS vendor's class drivers, which work out of the box and are properly maintained, but the user experience is of relief.

Interesting. I think it’s often overlooked that the people we think of as being originally from a place often weren’t. The American mainland was settled by three waves of people before the Europeans came.
Memory managers are intrinsically unsafe. Rust generally passes around already allocated memory, but allocating the memory requires that you start with an undifferentiated bucket of bits, so the memory manager passes around raw pointers.
In Rust, memory leaks are considered "safe"; you don't need unsafe to create a memory leak. There's even a function in the standard library (std::mem::forget) to explicitly leak a value, and it's not marked as unsafe. And even without that function, it's very easy to leak memory in safe code (just create a cycle with reference-counted values).

But yes, memory managers generally require unsafe. Consider what happens when you release memory containing a value of type A, and that memory is later allocated for a value of type B. This is equivalent to a transmute between types A and B, which requires unsafe.
There is inflation. The dollar is incredibly weak right now on currency markets, relative to other currencies. Businesses that are not already sitting on large piles of cash are bearing the brunt of inflation right now, as they get screwed between the rising costs paid to foreign suppliers and the stubbornly low prices that American domestic consumers can afford. The performance of the average American business has drastically decreased this past year, contributing to layoffs and making the problem worse. You don't see it in the stock market because the prices of stocks are being propped up by the Federal Reserve, but it's been an open discussion over the incredibly fast gains in the stock market over the last several months whether stock prices are coupled to corporate fundamentals or not.
I think Git will stay as long as we keep representing and working with code as plain text files. Of course I cannot think of a better way of working with code that is not via plain text files (otherwise I would be already rich) but somehow I doubt that programming in 2120 is going to be like programming today: manipulation of code as plain text (although we have to admit that programming has been "manipulation of plain text files" since its very beginnings).

Git is still good for tracking changes in plain text files.
The criticism is well intentioned and you are ignoring that we all want it to continue to be that way!

They've been slowly making it more and more difficult for people to install apps outside of the app store on the macOS. The latest version of macOS has already crippled application firewalls, allowing Apple authorised code special privileges to bypass any firewall / VPN to access the internet, even if the user wants to block them. Apple ARM processors further limit what OS you can run on it, even with virtualisation, without needing Apple's permission.

All these criticisms are genuine and valid - that it aims to turn the macOS platform into a more closed system like ios.

Travel restrictions work great. Test and quarantine everyone who comes in to the country. But you won't have perfect containment, and maybe you choose to make a tradeoff and say you just need the test, which has X% accuracy. So then there must be follow-up behavior, and that's where contact tracing, quarantines, and masks come in. If you reach the point where you can't get a handle with such techniques, then you lockdown and test until they're sustainable.

There are countries who have done much better, and other countries that have done much worse with Covid. And you see that with East Asian countries who experienced Sars, and African countries who experienced Ebola. So, it might behoove the leaders of countries with much more dead to take a look at what others might be doing different.
