> Keynes worked until stagflation happened. That's the issue that made other models come forward

Keynes worked after stagflation as well:

> I just do not think that is right. Stagflation is very easily explained: you just need an ‘accelerationist’ Phillips curve (i.e. where the coefficient on expected inflation is one), plus a period in which monetary policymakers systematically underestimate the natural rate of unemployment. You do not need rational expectations, or any of the other innovations introduced by New Classical economists.

[…]

> Stagflation did not kill IS-LM. In fact, because empirical validity was so central to the methodology of macroeconomics at the time, it adapted to stagflation very quickly. This gave a boost to the policy of monetarism, but this used the same IS-LM framework. If you want to find the decisive event that led to New Classical economists winning their counterrevolution, it was the theoretical realisation that if expectations were rational, but inflation was described by an accelerationist Phillips curve with expectations about current inflation on the right hand side, then deviations from the natural rate had to be random. The fatal flaw in the Keynesian/Monetarist theory of the 1970s was theoretical rather than empirical.

> But my small quarrel with Simon involves how we got into this state. He dismisses the stagflation of the 1970s, on the grounds that IS-LM macroeconomics quickly adapted to the new information. Indeed, this happened very fast: by 1978 both the leading undergraduate macro textbooks, Dornbusch-Fischer and Gordon, had accelerationist Phillips curves and extensive discussions of stagflation. (Compare this with new classical macro, which failed decisively in the 1980s, but never adjusted at all.)

> Nonetheless, I remember the 70s quite well, and stagflation did indeed play a role in the rise of new classical macro, albeit in a subtler way than the caricature that it proved Keynes wrong, or something like that.

> What mattered instead was the fact that stagflation had in effect been predicted by Friedman and Phelps; and the way they made that prediction was by taking a step in the direction of microfoundations. Specifically, they asked what a more or less rational price-setter would do in the face of persistent inflation; their answer was, raise prices preemptively, and if everyone did this it would shift the Phillips curve up by the amount of expected inflation. Sure enough, the Phillips curve did seem to shift as predicted.

What "other models" are you referring to?
I’m not an evolutionary biologist, but I think that the longer an organism’s lifespan is, the slower the rate of reproduction and therefore there will be a slower rate at which the population is capable of evolving. This will put the population at a disadvantage compared to a faster rate of evolving in the event there is environmental pressure.

I think of this as a curve fitting problem: finer granularity of the data points (a shorter lifespan with faster sexual maturation) would more quickly produce a wider variety of genotypes, some of which are more suited to fit to a rapidly changing environment (the curve). On the contrary, rougher granularity of the data (longer lifespan, slower sexual maturation; instead of data points, data line segments trying to fit to the curve) would be more suited to a flatter or gradually shifting curve (a more slowly changing environment).

I think if you have an acute environmental shock, as is happening right now with global warming, the folks who have lots of kids at a younger age will have the genetic advantage from a population perspective (ignoring influences from financial and technological resources).
The more I learn about the underlying architecture of git and how it was developed and evolved, the more I see the Unix philosophy at work. As a result, I don't think git will ever be replaced, but merely evolve further according to the needs of developers (and others). In the near future, I think we're likely to see more specialized git frontends and additional collaborative functionality than another version control system.

Couldn't Google could pressure them to do it, by making this a legal requirement for a Google Play license for their devices?
You don't raise money if you don't want to be a VC funded hypergrowth company. If you don't aim that high no one funds you anyway. It's a difference in definitions, for their definitions see Paul Graham's startup = growth

But yeah once you take the money and you need that exit, you're going to have a hard time. It's up to the founder to decide from the beginning
+1 Yes, that is impressive and practical.
All of the other answers have good points but are missing the one that matters: the musician’s union requires it. Every Broadway theatre has a minimum number of musicians (depending on the space) if a musical is being performed.
Generally usb-c docks can do 4k@30 but to get 60 you need a (any) thunderbolt dock. The TB port on the laptop can do 60 but you need a TB dock and not a USBC dock otherwise that would be the bottleneck. However if you just need video and not extra USB ports / Ethernet / etc., then a USB-C to DP adapter can do 60fps since it doesn't need to reserve bandwidth for the other stuff.

Also, paying someone to care about it as much as you do may be out of your wallet (well, perhaps not the case for SV devs reading).

The attention to detail and actual time that you are willing to put into your own home is just different from someone for whom it's just another job.
Is English your native language? Because for me at least as a native English speaker I immediately recognize it as gibberish and have no such problem. I’m curious if it’s a native/non-native issue with parsing or not.
There will always be basic labors.

I feel valuing these more will help the scenario play out better for everyone.

Care takers, laborers of all kinds, plumbers, you get the idea.

We all get old. Want your care from the lowest bidder, or worn to the bone family, or from people secure enough for it to be a labor of love, compassion?

The lowest bidder may care, as will the frazzled family. But acting on that may not turn out how everyone intends.
My understanding of this has been that OSX has always had much lower audio latency than Windows or Linux.

Apple have put quite a bit of effort into making their audio sub-systems both performant and reliable. Something that isn’t true on Windows and Linux at the moment.

I also assume that part of if is driven by audio professionals using Macs elsewhere, and you don’t want to be using an unfamiliar system when running a live performance. That’s the one place where “just let me Google that” doesn’t fly.
A fine tuned short life and then death after reproduction cam evolve, as we see in numerous octopi, who are very smart as well as very prolific and are programmed to die after reproduction (in almost all cases)
As a person going through some shit, and I will get downvoted for this, my only response is go fuck yourself. This kind of shit is demeaning. I've run marathons with a running group and lift regularly. At the end of the day, I have never felt more alone.

Affinity Photo is an Arm/Intel universal binary that’s also compatible with OS X 10.9. Maybe look into what they’re doing?
I'd be surprised if in your hypothetical scenario there would be sanctions against the US or the UK. Neither country would try and cover it up which is what's been truly despicable about China's response. I do wish the wider world started taking notice of the vile crimes the CCP are committing.
Musicians[0] (electronic and otherwise) do absolutely perform live with real-time AU/VST synths and effects.

There are some constraints on how much complexity a single machine can handle but MIDI sync, Ableton Link etc. allow to combine multiple computers and hardware synths in one setup.

Anecdotally, I don’t perform live but I write music as a hobby and I rarely if ever bounce to audio to free up RAM or CPU. I do bounce for artistic effect though (such as reversing a drum loop or shifting it up/down an octave).

Unpublishing is a bit of an overreaction; on github and gitlab you can just turn off project issues.
Git LFS is basically the CVS of binary file version control.

It is a pile of garbage, but it's better than nothing.
Maybe not A book, but some books that helped me change my behavior just a little bit.

Brain Rules for Baby: How to Raise a Smart and Happy Child from Zero to Five - if you're thinking of having children or have young children already. This book gives some good insight on possible, data-driven ways to raise a happy and smart kid. I currently have a newborn and have altered some ways I behave around her. It also helps to think about how you were raised, and if that impacted the way you are.

The Mind Illuminated: A Complete Meditation Guide Integrating Buddhist Wisdom and Brain Science for Greater Mindfulness - if you're into meditation, I think this is the book to get. I started out with Headspace and this book takes it to the next level.

How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life - This was an entertaining book on how Scott Adams failed and succeeded. He gives some practical tips on what he did to get to where he is. Of course, there is survivorship bias, but I found some of it helpful.

The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism - People aren't born Charismatic. You can practice it.

Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It - A book about negotiation. I used to hate negotiating. Heck I still do. While I might not use the exact tactics outlined in the book, it helped me realize that I should try to negotiate more. And it might have helped me to get good deals or better salary just by asking.
Can you share what are the things missing from redoxOS before it can take advantage of the full capabilities of a system76 laptop?
My wife is from New York and has a very difficult time understanding non-US accents. She has to watch British period dramas with subtitles.
I appreciate you laying this out because it's something I have struggled with and thought I just didn't know the right way to handle it.

For writing tests in a deep learning code base, rather than simply including a native data file (image, CSV, whatever), I've taken to writing a fake data creator class. It always feels like overkill when an alternative solution is including a native data file or two that already exists.
Tangentially related, but I wish that running elevated from the shell was more ergonomic. I want to just be able to have a sudo-like command to run elevated from an otherwise non-elevated shell. Instead I have to launch a new instance of the shell host that's elevated. ConEmu makes this feel more seamless by doing some window manipulation hacks to bring elevated and non-elevated into tabs of the same window, but Windows Terminal doesn't want to do anything so hacky which means having a second Windows Terminal window when running elevated.

I wonder if improving this is possible within the current design of Windows or if it would be a fundamental change in how it handles user privileges.
Because you sign various employment contracts that contain all sorts of landmines even after you’re gone, and out of self-preservation it’s a helluva lot easier to just not comment.

I believe they mean performance drop versus native.

Let's say you have a DAW with ARM and x86 binaries but a VST/AU/RTAS that's x86 only. You need to run the DAW as x86 under Rosetta, which will result in reduced performance versus a native binary, assuming the native processor was capable of equal performance.

Given how zippy the M1 is, that performance penalty may well still put you ahead of where your x86 perf was, but still slower than native.
"But not everywhere and not at all times."

This is the excuse typical electron developer make. But I think I disagree here. Speed matters everywhere. Just see sublime and vscode.
Aliens Likely Annihilated Themselves Through Progress
Yep, it's easy to get screwed over. When we had major renovations, one knowledgeable family member always had to be around to make sure things are going well. The main repairs guy is obviously hostile to this, they are the pros after all, but if you take a hands off approach you can get screwed. And other handymen don't like taking up and finishing/fixing botched jobs. You can also try to run after your money. Sure you can delegate that too, pay a lawyer etc.

If you're really rich you can just have someone who does all this for you and you just sit in your chair and enjoy life and point to things in catalogues and everything else just appears around you.
I never said anything about only using the lowest priced service? Of course I'd want higher quality service, not sure what your point is here.
Does not matter what is done with the higher margin.

The fact is when it isn't shared in higher proportion with labor, hours go up and those dollars are not available to support demand either.

Taking less is the alternative.

And lets be real, nobody wants to do that, and there are great reasons too.

This is why I said it is a political question above.

Right now market rules permit current behavior.

If we want different behavior, those rules must change.

We can compete with existing money with government investment in the people, lands, infrastructure and do so with the behavior intended. This will pull others that direction, though not all.

We can redistribute with more aggression.

We can mandate compensation differently.

We can mandate hours worked.

Lots of possibilities.

The way I see it, growing unrest leads to national priority discussions, new policy.

Or, if there is growing happiness, that will not happen.

It will resolve though. One way or the other.
That's not a relevant statement. It has people who were living there before the British controlled the islands.
The previous mayor, Mitch Landrieu, was letting Palantir test their systems here. There are ANPRs at most entry points into the city. I personally have zero surprise at Gebru's freaking out after having lived here.
> Perhaps you will end up with "Law and Order" cities, where technology is used unempathetically to punish harshly and discriminate without penalty. Then you would have less strict cities, where freedoms are less trampled in the pursuit of total control.

This is already true. People are free to use marijuana/brothels/certain guns/etc in some places and not in others. Some cities have license plate readers on their police cars and roads and red light/speed cameras. Some prosecutors go after certain crimes and not others.

Although, I’m sure in every place there is little transparency so if you know the right people, you can get away with a lot more.
I'm doing that with LFS on a gitlab droplet on digital ocean and its trivial (with like a hundred gb repo). Dunno if it was bad in the past but it's not hard now.
They can't be that all-encompassing as to not be able to say if you were happy...?
Mac OS has had a built-in file versioning system (separate from Time Machine) since Lion or so that works with any program that uses the standard document saving APIs. Most Mac users probably aren't aware that their computer stores potentially hundreds of previous versions of their documents (in evictable space, of course). The interface for it is kind of trash and isn't accessible in every app, though.

(Over the summer, I made a command-line [https://gitlab.com/jcfields/versions] and a GUI program [https://gitlab.com/jcfields/restore] for accessing this system outside of the standard UI, if anyone's interested, though the binaries are not notarized so the OS will show a scary warning the first time you use them.)

Granted, it's not exactly the same thing since you're not making commits at discrete and meaningful points like in a software version control system and since it works on an individual file level, which might not be ideal for every workflow, but it's still really useful when you realize you need to roll something back to an earlier state.

I think modern versions of Windows use the Volume Shadow Copy service to store backups of files at given snapshot points (such as when your computer runs a scheduled backup or creates a System Restore point), which can be pulled up in the file properties. I use to use NTBackup to do basically the same thing in a more crude way back in the Windows XP days. This isn't as nice as the Mac Versions feature since it requires setting up periodic backups, but it's something.

I'd be curious if any of the free desktops have come up with a simple and user-friendly solution to this. I feel like this is an area where there's a lot of room for improvement, since the majority of users would probably benefit from these systems but most aren't even aware they exist.
Lot of insight in this comment. Thanks for writing it!
> I’m not aware of any news vendors who list the stories they choose not to cover.

The only thing I am aware of that is even close is Project Censored, which aims to document the most important stories that have been ignored by all major news outlets each year:

Linux is not really an option. There are very few DAWs with support, next to no drivers for common hardware, and next to no support for popular VSTs. Linux is not a good platform for audio work.
I'm not sure I follow, you consider $100 for a microphone that sounds like you're standing next to the person instead of listening to them over the internet expensive?

As for audio interfaces: if you don't want one, don't buy one, get the same mix as USB version instead of XLR, and done.
Some specific pieces of C++ support that Clang is missing:

Edit: newer link: https://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html

(older link, not applicable, was here)

Cross compiling for some embedded architectures.

Things like FORTRAN or Ada, calling routines built there from C (or vice versa), etc.
I think there are several dimensions to this. These are mission critical systems with extremely high uptime expectations. Therefore using highly standardised easily available identical replacement parts with solid vendor support is a must. There are probably several Apple Stores within easy reach of Broadway and Apple Care will get you rapid support and repair if needed.

Another aspect is that the audio stack on MacOS is truly outstanding, with a whole host of professional audio applications and utilities on the platform. Hardware drivers are up to date and also well supported. Connectivity is also well supported by audio hardware vendors.

Finally Mac Minis have had a stable hardware form factor for well over a decade. If you go for a small form factor generic Pc system there’s no guarantee anything like it will even exist a year or even 6 months later. Hardware specs and specific component choices change with the breeze as availability and relative pricing fluctuate continuously.
Depends on your location of course. In the USA I believe the median age is 38 and in Japan it's 48. But globally speaking, at 35 you've got one foot in the grave already :=)
Common Lisp with SBCL compiles to very efficient code, it can be comparable to C, for example. For multicore support, I'm sure there are good libraries available - lparallel maybe? (https://lparallel.org/overview/)
Well, what needs to be fixed? The way I see it:

- Built in better binary/large file support

- Need to be able to checkout subtrees and host monolithic repos (submodules are a pain)

- Better UI

Japan and Germany show that you can have industry in high wage countries. Your factories have to be more automatized though.
> Kind of thinking aloud here, but could the Japanese situation be a consequence of their culture?

Could be a component, just like in Germany. When your central bank rate is zero:

And your borrowing costs are negative going out thirty years:

That's a pretty good indication that spending should increase.

Demographics is often said to be a major component. The older a population is, the less spending there tends to be, which tends to impact economic growth, and has a pretty good correlation with (low) interest rates:

Git will be replaced by something that uses intuitive metaphors like "save", "load", "undo", "go back to old version", "update my work with work from colleague", "update the official state with my work" and others. It will likely come as part of an integrated work environment (some collaborative cloud workflow thing) in order to bypass git's role as gatekeeper/rite of passage for developers.
There'd certainly be rigorous demands on precisely how either country would demonstrate that the risk had been mitigated and widespread damning coverage and condemnation.

The CCP (who have all but destroyed and coopted the great history of ancient China) are a despicably evil state who will cause a great many FURTHER deaths if the world doesn't start taking note and action.

> humans create a broad spectrum of antibodies against different parts of a virus and usually at least some will still bind to variants

One of the big problems with our immune system is that a reaction can target markers shared with other less hostile things. Example: part of the spike protein reacts with TMPRSS2 and ACE2 on the cell membrane to smuggle the virus RNA through it. It's like a key and a door and this type of door is not only present in the pneumocytes of the respiratory system, but also in the gastrointestinal and endocrine systems, among many others. If the immune system attacks things that use this cell-membrane-access-key, the result can be a catastrophic auto-immune response leading to rather nasty long term problems and even death.

From that it follows that creating a good mRNA vaccine means to identify parts for the immune system to target that are very common in virus strains, yet are also clearly distinct from those present in a healthy human. The whole mRNA tech is a major step forward and relies on selecting a piece of the spike protein unique to the virus. The old "make virus dead and consume it" approach seems primitive in comparison.

However while a more specialized vaccine significantly reduces the risk of bad side effects, it is also means new variants, especially those that stick around for month, should be carefully analyzed. It is far too early to jump to any conclusion about this particular one.
