How about cycling? Cycling is a great way to retain motor skills as well as keep your mind active and alert. It can also be a very good social activity, groups of cyclists exist all over the world and are mostly quite welcoming and supportive of new cycling friends. Entry to the activity can be quite cheap, bad weather is the only limiting factor, and that doesn’t stop many either, you just need the correct gear!

At this point, isn't comparing it to any non-Mac meaningless?

The only way to get an M1 is to buy a Mac anyways.

Unless/until you see a mass exodus of people from x86 based OSes the comparisons don't matter.

Sure, new Macs will be super fast, and that in itself will result in some conversions, but there are plenty of other factors that would keep people from switching to Mac.
FSM are the solution to a lot of coding problems that in the beginning just look like bunch of if..thens. Of course, there are a lot of problems that scream "FINITE STATE MACHINE" in their definition, but I'd say that applying FSM early on as a sort of "preemptive optimization" can save a lot of headaches.
How so? The author invited explanation of why they might or might not be the same. You simply asserted that they were not.
I find Steven Van Metre point of view interesting, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFdXR4BZ6Fw.

I'm a software engineer, so not an expert in macroeconomics obviously, but here are some highlights that I think we are missing to consider when we think inflation is coming:

- The USD is the reserve currency of the world, printing money does not only affect the USA but the entire world to some degree.

- Money printing is not just happening in the USD, but rather, the pandemic was a world event and many nations are "printing money".

- The USA Federal Reserve is not, strictly speaking, printing money. It is way more complex than just money printing. From what I understand, is more efficient to "print money" by increasing the money multiplier, meaning, the Fed ask banks to lend more since lending money multiplies the money faster than printing. Therefore, with QE (Quantitative Easing), the Fed buys debt from banks giving them liquidity for them to lend more money into the system. However, given that we are in an economic recession (temporary perhaps but recession nonetheless), banks are not really lending at the rates the Fed wants. In order to fix this, the usual approach is to lower even further the rates, but we are already at near zero so there is not much to do there either; which is what I understand is referred to as a Liquidity Trap.

- A weak dollar (and strong Yuan, etc) is bad for the exports of other countries, so they will be incentivized to devalue their currencies.

Anyways, this is not to say that inflation won't happen, but rather than a simplistic point of view "printer goes brrrr, inflation will happen" is probably not correct.

I personally find it hard to believe that hyper-inflation will happen, but I also recognize that I'm not certain of this.

From "SecureBoot is hindering Linux" to "How we can exploit its feature set further, so we can make things even more secure". Wow.

I'm actually glad that Linux has found a way to use SecureBoot and build upon it. This is really impressive.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted, you're right.

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is the primary source for documentation of both the Saxon invasion of Roman Britain, and the Viking invasion of Saxon England (about 500 years apart).

The Saxons were very much a similar culture - same use of (very similar) ships for raiding, same weaponry, same battlefield tactics, same civil organisation and even similar languages. The respective invasions were remarkably similar - raiding, mercenary work, followed by progressive occupation. The Viking invasion got complicated - the Danelaw failed and the Saxons beat them off, but then the Normans (Vikings who'd invaded France a couple generations ago) won.

In the Chronicle the Saxon invasion is portrayed very much as a "we were invited here!". The Viking invasion as a brutal series of raids.

No such thing as bad press I guess - Vikings are cool and Saxons are a bit uncool now ;)
For some reason ethereum devs refuse to (recommend to) increase the gas limit, even though it's the only short-term way to decrease fees while increasing decentralization, in a mistaken idea that if a node doesn't run on a raspberry pi (it does) the network isn't decentralized.

People run nodes when they need them. Decentralization is a function of fees and node costs, not just node costs. Right now deploying a large contract costs more than a good gaming pc while a node to verify blocks can be a pi with a ssd for a small fraction of the cost. As a result normal people just stay away - fees too high decrease decentralization regardless of node costs. The opposite would make much more sense: few dollars for deployment, gaming pc for nodes. More people would actually run nodes in this scenario.

As long as a node only requires a high end pc rather than a server in a datacenter the network can stay decentralized. Even current (very underinvested) geth could handle 50M blocks, which would provide relief until rollups get going and prevent activity from relocating elsewhere.

This is the most dangerous, with the danger completely self-imposed, time for ethereum ever. Maybe everything works out and rollups release soon enough, but the risk calculus is completely bonkers.
I asked my aircraft buddy about this. He mentioned that it wasn't a GE engine, and that he doesn't even know what his GE rep looks like because of how few issues they have. Must be a big issue with P&W engines.

The hardest part navigating this is you simultaneously hear that equities are absurdly overvalued and will soon crash, and that the dollar is about to hyper-inflate. These two tales seem at odds with each other unless there's something I'm missing.
I read your comment first and then checked if the submission was from the NewYorker.com domain ...
Wait what? Isn't that the whole point? It's UNIVERSAL.

So we don't have to have bureaucracy to run it bla bla.

How is it UBI if I stop getting it if I'm working? Then it literally is just another form of government help to the unemployed and a massive disincentive to work.
Was part of a company that refused to use AWS.

We had migrate our servers 4 times as hosting company kept changing things, then getting purchased by IBM, then IBM was trying to figure itself out.

I didn’t kill the company, mostly due to a lot of really hard work.

MV=PQ is popular in some circles, but it doesn't describe casual links.

You can't reason about how those quantities behave from the equation, which is a mere accounting tautology.

Both recently and in QE post-global financial crisis, V went down because M increased without any reason for why the right-hand side of the equation should change.
Ironically you might be flagged by some for using the terms "blacklist" & "whitelist".
And don't forget that countries have different ways to count COVID deaths. In the UK it's everyone who dies of any cause within 28 days of a positive test. Some other countries only consider COVID deaths if the patients had pneumonia.

And depending on the testing (availability, sensitivity) the death counts could be underestimated as well.

It will be an interesting challenge to get compatible statistics from different countries.
And what happens when inflation rises and they need to control it with non-zero interest rates? Then stocks, real estate etc crash and we're back in another recession, which they try to solve with... more money and lower interest rates. We've already seen this story a few times.

Inflating away debt is fine if it is done slowly and has been done for centuries.

The extreme asset valuations we've seen after a decade of QE are unprecedented.

ZIRP and QE are not fine and are not working for the stated purpose, if anything they're making the economy more fragile. There's an interesting overview of the choices here from Lyn Alden, none are without complications but it does sound like they'll try to aim for moderate inflation and hope they can control it, but if they need to put the brakes on in a hurry the traditional methods of doing so could have extreme effects on overvalued assets:

We noticed this recently when we enabled CI testing with PG12 and suddenly unit tests were taking 4x as long to run. Haven't tested it in more production-like settings, but definitely a bit surprised this became the default given its potential for causing performance issues.
The inference that I draw from reading the comments is that the world definitely needs more keas!
You know, this is not quite the issue I find interesting. More intriguing to me is, with the ratio of cases and deaths differing by orders of magnitude, even between countries of similar wealth levels, age demographics, etc., why has it not been the primary topic of conversation? Australia and New Zealand have covid-19 stats more similar to the rest of east Asia than they do to the U.K. or other (more genetically similar) European-descended nations. Why is this not the overwhelming focus of our research? If it's not genetics, and it's not wealth levels, then there's something environmental in Taiwan, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, etc. that is different than in France, U.S.A., Italy, etc. I mean their levels are more than an order of magnitude better. Why is this not our primary focus of discussion?

Your last paragraph gives away the game. There is no content in Mulan to give a warning about. The issue you have is with the Chinese government, not the content of the film Mulan.
I have the same opinion. The big problem I had with generating graphql api from code, was that the result graphql schema was badly done. It's hard to design API that way. I made similar module for typescript just to realize, that I don't want to build graphql endpoints this way.

Dumbo: LLVM-Based Dumb Obfuscator
This sounds like my software development methodology when I was in my early teens. I was certainly able to get things done and explore all kinds of things (I was doing game dev of course), but the code was a mess and I didn't even have a mature understanding that it was. I just thought that was how programming was and you just had to be really smart to keep things straight in your head.
Haha, you're of course right. FOURTH wall. Maybe I was thinking about radio.
And I appreciate you are matching musicians with audiences, super valuable service. This particular credits ambiguity registered as a pretty grey pattern. My expectation was just say "$10 to put this in front of an audience of x," or "share a song with our network and then buy premium features," instead of breadcrumbing the incremental commitment screens before the hard upsell to complete it. I'm sure your mixpanel or other metrics show your abandoned carts data and if this pattern is working, it's working.

For pro musicians who are committed to your product as a promotion path, perhaps they don't care about that credits ambiguity because they go in with a marketing budget and know what they're going in for. For me, I will stick with making music for fun. I wish your team success at their mission.
My impression is a bit of inflation won’t be the worst thing for Americans and the world.

It will boost our manufacturing as imports become less desirable and exports become more attractive.

It also tends to boost economic activity in the rest of the world whose businesses deal with the dollar a lot.

When we became the world’s primary reserve currency by exchanging military protection for dollar based markets with OPEC after WWII, the US economy was a whopping 40% of global GDP.

However, now we’re about 15%. This means we constantly have to buy imports in order to keep the markets running which really hurts our manufacturing base.

I used to think having a strong dollar and being the reserve currency was an unquestionably good thing for America, but now I’m less sure.

It probably is for me as a white collar worker who likes to travel, but for many Americans it may mean the loss of stable blue collar manufacturing jobs.

If that inflation also occurs by pumping greenbacks into middle and lower class Americans hands, I think I’m all for it.

Although certainly I’d be wary of promoting an inflation rate higher than five or six percent. Not because of any underlying fundamental understanding, but because things are _relatively_ stable (coup attempts withstanding) and I don’t want to necessarily live through the moment we decide to turn the cruise ship too fast.
I think the decentralized web pieces are starting to fall in place: decentralized file storage, decentralized domain names, decentralized communities and streaming, decentralized payments, etc.

It's already well above 3%, if you could include the stock market in the metric.

That's the problem facing Yellen: not just doing enough, but doing something that won't just end up inflating the kinds of assets owned by the wealthy. Consumer prices have been stable because despite the increase in money supply, consumers as a whole were treading water (at best) even before the pandemic.

She would be happy to do something that caused CPI to get above 3%. It would mean the Fed could finally take the punch bowl away. They've been refilling it for well north of a decade, and it drains as fast as they fill.
Second this. The quality difference between the two is staggering.
Seems like FSM and DDD would go very well together, although I haven't seen any literature explicitly linking the two.
Buy TIPS, which are inflation-protected bonds, and sell (go short) nominal bonds. The difference between the two is almost exactly proportional to inflation expectations, and you are not inviting cross-contamination by other market moves.
The scale was different, but yes.

People also now poke fun at Napoleon but in Europe until the 1940s he was the canonical supervillain (apparently before him it was “pharaoh”). You’re identifying a general phenomenon.
I don't think a two or three line IF statement really qualifies as differentiating a product through software.
The government could do plenty of things (using laws written a century ago in the Teddy Roosevelt era) to encourage competition and break up de facto monopolies. They've simply been asleep at the wheel.
I am in agreement that there's a distinction. (I am also an advocate of legalizing euthanasia in a variety of scenarios.)

In my experience, social media moderation doesn't make much room for this sort of nuance.
Are there any Airbus (or other comapanies’) planes that have the affected engine? Or just Boeing?
> Hmm... If not proof trees, what?

I don't know. Both tactics and proof terms are already quite old (for CS concepts, that is) and there hasn't been any real competition, so I imagine in the medium-term we'll just see refinements of them.

>LaTeX is text. (I'm not being snarky.)

I can't imagine anyone wanting to read latex source code over tactics/proof term code.
Unless you're talking about rendered latex? But that's not something people can realistically work with. Graphical proof assistants exist, but nobody uses them. For better or worse, plain text is simply king.

>The key might be in formalizing the subjective processes like what was described starting here:

In a sense, tactics are a very weak form of this. Instead of just describing a proof as its structured in the system, they allow a proof author to also describe some of their intent or intuition. It's definitely why some people prefer tactics based proofs. I imagine we'll see some attempts to incorporate some more of this into proof terms, but I don't know how successful this will be.

But honestly, I can't even imagine would formalizing something so subjective would even look beyond this. I'm not sure if it's even possible. If it is, I imagine it's going to be a radical departure from everything we know.
Most languages codify common idioms from earlier ones; I don’t see how most of the patterns are any different.

I’m sure there were a lot of assembly programs that used the “call stack pattern”. I’m sure there are a lot of C programs that abuse struct packing to do inheritance (the “class pattern”, sometimes with crappy vtables) or the preprocessor to do “templates”. And even in Python, you’ve got to use the visitor pattern due to single dispatch.
I’m curious how this prevents duplication. Sure, the blockchain records ownership which is probably the most _technically_ important part for a collector, but if you can create a 1:1 copy of the art then it’s not terribly unique. With physical art the collector knows they own it because it’s stored in their home or some gallery.

Provenance is also only a problem for classical art that is hundreds of years old. Modern art is much easier to track and will likely remain so since it’s only ever existed in a time of mechanical record keeping. NFT doesn’t even prevent fraudulent “rare sketch by dead artist found in drawer” from happening since an artist can work in as many mediums as they want.

But finally, if you can create a 1:1 duplicate of the art because it’s 100% digital then does it have the same value brought on by rarity that current, physical art has. I’d argue that most of the value of a physical pice of art is the rarity and the prestige ownership of that rare object brings.

EDIT: I'm not sure how this prevents forgeries either (though I don't think that's all that big of a problem for art dealing). If I can make a 1:1 copy of a piece of art I can attach it to some other NFT blockchain and sell it as my own. Will I make as much? Maybe not, but it's such a common tactic on app marketplaces I don't know why it wouldn't happen here as well.
I don't like the excesses of cancel culture or what is described (at this point mostly derisively) as the "woke movement." Still, reading the descriptions of these episodes, I'm not surprised Disney added content warnings.

The warnings are not for us, they are for Disney. Let's face it, a lot of Disney content has not aged well. The company has a long history of racist and sexist depictions of characters and cultures. Of course Disney wants to distance itself from that and say "hey, this isn't who we are!" Honestly, I'd much rather they do than just bury or edit the content.

The real issue I see is that Disney has so much control over this content due to continual extension of their exclusive copyright. To crib a line from a noted (now) Disney owned character, these episodes belong in a museum! They are more valuable now as part of our history than as exclusive Disney+ content, and it shouldn't be up to Disney whether or not anyone gets to see them.
Frame making is actually more complicated than it seems, it's not enough to just make one mitered cut on four pieces and call it a day (if you want it to look good / fit well). It's certainly a learnable trade, but more complicated than just butting four square pieces together with glue. If I were you I'd stick with what you have working now, unless your current process is significantly time-consuming or costly.

As for the look, see if you can make the wood grain go the same direction for the entire frame, rather than the grain changing from vertical to horizontal. Should make it look more attractive. To expand the appearance from there, you can sand it down and apply different oils, stains and paints.
> the article does not contain any new or interesting revelations or insights,

It should be criticized, why do you imply that is a negative? AI is just a tool, and it can be used incorrectly. In this case we have a policy that seems to be applied incorrectly. That is a simple problem to solve, require more review, or the ability to escalate. Don't make such decisions "final".
Also worth noting the extreme correlation of preexisting obesity epidemics and negative covid health outcomes.

Obesity makes you 3 times more likely to be hospitalized for covid.

When looking at the world map of obesity right next to the world map of covid mortality, the correlation/causation is startling.

America and Europe have the most obese people and the worst covid health outcomes, Africa and Asia have the least obese people, and the best covid outcomes.

Last year I read a theory that there was correlation between antibiotics in food and the death rate, the hardest hit areas of Italy and Spain make lots of preserved meats using a lot of antibiotics, meaning there's more of antibiotic-resistant bacterias (if their diet has a lot of antibiotics, it would follow that they're evolving the toughest bacterias), and that the super-bacterial (secondary) infection kill the people who've been weakened by the viruses.

In Norwegian: https://www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kronikk/i/awEP27/derfor-...

Without actually knowing the situation on the ground, I'd say there's less antibiotics in food production in India/there's more bacteria going around that Indian immune systems are better prepared to fight the bacterias or antibiotics work better to kill them.

But well, it's another theory...
