That’s not the only way it’s avoided by fiat currencies. Physical units wear out and are lost (sometimes destroyed deliberately before that point, I don’t know how often); and the banks have rules on the use of fractional reserve banking and similar, which is for practical purposes a time-limited money multiplier, and the multiple of that multiplier depends on the rules: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_supply

Fiat can, most of the time, grow or shrink the money supply as needed for the most stable economic outcome.
Sounds overcomplicated. I've seen any number of fancy not-exactly-type-systems and they always end up having crazy edge cases, whereas a plain type system does exactly what you expected (and, crucially, does it in an understandable way) and scales arbitrarily far. Having the type system work the same way in the REPL and the rest of the language is important for that.

I’m a beginning megabaser myself. For how engrossing Factorio is, the vanilla gameplay to the end of the tech tree is just not enough ;)

At some point, the inserter-to-belt interface becomes a serious bottleneck. CPU load does too. As for enemies, you can basically treat them as a solved or solvable problem after artillery even if you don’t turn them off.
Just an anecdote:

My alarm clock has a 30 minute pre-alarm (starting very softly with nature noises, never reaching maxing out at 10%), then it starts calm music going from 10% to 80% over 10 minutes. It’s very relaxing to me to wake up like this.

I used to sleep without an alarm clock (work from home and more or less free work starting times) and I usually felt far more tired during the day.

In addition, I used to have trouble falling asleep, now I’m gone 5-10 minutes after I put the book down.

I now usually sleep 6h a night, with once or twice 7.5h (I can tell if my body thinks I need more sleep that night). I’ve often read that 6h is not enough, but ever since I changed it like this, I’m simply far more energized and have no crash during the day.

Yeah, fair. But perhaps higher minimum wages, and no zero hour contacts? Better worker protections?

> Under 10 ppm you get a carrot. Then drinking water will still be 9.99.

But also the company decides that they're okay with only getting that carrot 95% of the time because filtering costs money. So 5% of the time it's much worse.

The real power of a stick over a carrot is the incentives can be much bigger. If you're selling widgets, and 1% catching on fire just means you're paid 1% less, you don't care very much. If you're fined 50 times the purchase price for each widget that catches fire, you care a lot.
> I am surprised at how you can't understand that there are terms that are insanely useful and yet can't be defined exactly 100%.

Oh I understand that. What I don’t understand is how you and other people think that your use of an ill-defined term in this context is the least bit helpful when the actual referent of that term is the subject of the discussion.

> But ok I agree to play this game if you first define the term "love" to me real quick?

No, I’m not playing games. You’re using a nonsensical and incoherent term and you refuse to define it.

Yes, if that newsletter is using best practices. The recommended period is 90 days I believe, but you can get send an email asking if you're still interested (and in that email, there will be a link you should click if you want to stay subscribed).

You may have had this happen before and probably thought that was just a scammy way to get you to click a link, but in fact it's completely legit.
I'm not sure why people would be wary of clicking the unsubscribe link on something they explicitly subscribed to in the first place. I mean, they trusted you enough to give you their email address to subscribe in the first place, right?

The only scenario I can think of is when people didn't intentionally subscribe or were coerced into subscribing and those newsletters can go to hell and fully deserve to be marked as spam.

If you see companies using child labour, the solution obviously isn't to start your own company that doesn't exploit children just to prove a point. This stuff is regulated for a reason. You could argue that an employer should be able to offer any wage they want, but the argument against it is that people on poverty wages then have to use public assistance to survive. So essentially private companies use public money to have cheap labour which they wouldn't be able to access otherwise - that's obviously not ok either.

What you use the word “type” for is a nominal type and your shapes are structural types. The utility and different trade offs between nominal and structural types were explored a lot back in the 90s.
And also because of this, if you're blocking tracking pixels in a privacy conscious way you often get removed from the mailing list without any notice, which is very frustrating.

Or you get one of those mail saying "We are removing you from the list because you don't read our newsletter", often without offering any other confirmation signal. Basically they says "Let us track you or you are out of this list".

And this is also the result of marketing people who look at ways to increase the "good numbers", more likely to show to their bosses. They don't actually care if you read or enjoy their content, you are either one of the users who increase their opening and click rates, or you're a useless burden to them.

Because everything is a fexpr, with lambda built on top of it, when you call a function you're not passing it values, you're passing it code and a first class environment to use to execute it.

Further, because macro like features are first class, they're executed each time they're used as opposed to generating code.

I believe there are decent implementations but I bet they put a fair amount of work in to making them fast. The naive reference implementation is extremely slow.

While my toy project is a bit different and probably even more wasteful (with a list calling convention and immutability), it faces similar challenges. Take a read through core.clj and try to spot where the 88 million function calls are spent.

How to Build a React TS Tailwind Design System

To test, execute the following in a bash terminal:

echo "g(i,x,t,o){return((3&x&(i\*((3&i>>16?\"BY}6YB6%\":\"Qj}6jQ6%\")[t%8]+51)>>o))<<4);};main(i,n,s){for(i=0;;i++)putchar(g(i,1,n=i>>14,12)+g(i,s=i>>17,n^i>>13,10)+g(i,s/3,n+((i>>11)%3),10)+g(i,s/5,8+n-((i>>10)%3),9));}"|gcc -xc -&&./a.out|aplay

My main point about this article is that it's not considering why we are roped into an alarm clock culture - it's not because we want to be woken up this way, it's because sometimes it's an economic necessity.

That’s amazing, would love to collaborate too. Emailing you!
Can't you run this in top of customers data warehouse? Over 30pc of Segment customers have a data warehouse (the number is over 60-70pc for RudderStack). If you could build these of a customers data warehouse, it can be quite powerful and not face "another SaaS tool" hurdle in companies.

Plus this can be much cheaper than you storing the data (and making 80pc margin on top).

I think decoupling product analytics from storage can be powerful. The BI tools (like looker) do it but they are not great for product / customer analytics

The myth part is that it is common just in Europeans or "caucasian" race. Lactase persistence is relatively common in many parts of the world. Indians have some percentage, Semites and more.

It was unheard of in native Americans and Canadians, and very rare in eastern Asians.

I wonder if these are even legal I'd er the GDPR. There's no opt-in for these tracking pixels yet they track user behaviour through a third party that knows personally identifiable information (an email address). The BBC article says this shouldn't be happening, but with the UK abandoning the EU I don't know how close to the GDPR the UK is willing to keep their laws.

I hope some data processing agency will look into these tracking companies. Without an optional opt-in at sign-up, emails should never include these pixels.
Could be images with image data included in the email, that don't need to load remotely.

There is, just many email marketing people leave it out to cut down on the unsubscribe rate. Subscribing has to be easy and in-the-face (like those 'helpful' popups on websites), unsubscribing has to be almost impossible. Not totally impossible, mind you, because otherwise courts get angry.

Better email clients know to use the header, and e.g. gmail even asks about properly unsubscribing when marking a newsletter with that header as spam iirc.

This happens on large amounts of PCs and I don’t think the way Microsoft uses its own database engine should be an excuse for it corrupting its data.

I think the difference is that Windows Search is always running, including when the computer crashes, is turned off unexpectedly or doesn’t complete waking up from sleep or hibernation. I think JET just isn’t that robust against that. It’s quite conceivable people manually closed your software when they shut down their computer.

I remember Exchange failing the same way if its database disks suddenly disappear due to network issues.

I have been using `z` for some time, and now I can't imagine working without it.

I used to have a big list of aliases like:

alias pro='cd ~/Projects'

Seems trivial, but it was a huge time saver over time. After installing `z` and using it for a few days, I can now keep only the top 3/4 aliases and `z` does the rest.

I've been tempted to try more fancy tools like zoxide, but I love the fact that `z` is just a shell script I can easily move around.
I remember reading this thesis and implementing just such a lisp like language. The separation of lambda i to vau and wrap was really mind bending at the time but I was really interested in the fewest primitives required to bootstrap a whole language.
How, exactly? How do you propose making low wage jobs generate enough revenue to become high wage jobs?

Or do you mean to apply this rule only to large, profitable corporations and spare the mom-and-pop shops and other small businesses that are already having trouble staying open?

Low wage jobs are already being replaced by high wage jobs, but not 1:1. There are already higher wage jobs programming the machines that automate away a dozen low wage jobs. I'm guessing that wasn't what you meant by "turn into" though.
Somehow speculation causes points to be missed on both sides and conversations like these become meaningless semantic arguments.
Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10

These are half-decent OS's - and I'm a hardcore Linux user.
Due to the licensing issues FreeBSD is never going to be a first-class citizen in the kernel source tree, and that's the most optimistic possible view of the situation.

Linus and Greg K-H have both made statements and actions that make it clear that they are philosophically opposed to ZFS as an implementation ("more of a buzzword than anything else"), regardless of licensing issues. They want you to use BTRFS instead, and are going to throw up arbitrary barriers to make ZFS usage and development as painful as possible (like re-licensing non-GPL symbols that they notice ZFS using out from underneath it into GPL).

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/01/linus-torvalds-zfs-s...

Like, people make a huge racket about how NVIDIA's driver isn't in the kernel and how that means it will never be suitable for day to day use in a desktop environment, because it's out-of-tree and thus will always be in a place of reacting to changes in the kernel as an external team rather than being supported by the kernel team itself. And that's exactly the same situation ZFS is in and will always be in on Linux. And in fact the situation is actually worse than that, while CDDL is open-source it is incompatible with copyleft licenses, by design and by selection when Sun licensed the code. And then you've got the fact that the kernel team is stacked with BTRFS fanboys who are thinking and acting with their loyalties.

I get the desire to improve ZFS on Linux support but the FreeBSD version probably should have remained the repository of record so that ZFS could have been a first-class-citizen in at least one distro. The Linux team is legally and personally opposed to ZFS, it's ZFS choosing to place their focus on improving an abusive relationship.

Gmail has this, it's in one of the dropdown menus. If you mark something with the right email header as spam, it even ask if you wish to unsubscribe instead.

Spam companies often use this to check if the email address they've targeted is real because they get callbacks from legitimate users. I've only seen one or two legitimate uses of the header as far as I can remember.
