Are they going to buy Lamborghinis in pesos? More seriously, yes, some people are content with living like a rich native in the global south but for anyone else who plans to participate in the global economy (and I assume they do, because capital controls would likely only affect high net worth individuals), they would need to convert to EUR/JPY/CNY/USD.

IME many Clojure programmers come from non-Java backgrounds and aren't looking for a Java like experience. So I can believe the "more better Java" audience probably heads for Kotlin today. I think this is a win for both the Clojure and Kotlin communities and developer cultures.

To inject some time perspective, Clojure is 14 years old, so it's not too bad to be moving from initial steam to young-adulthood steam now :)

> If being taxed 2.5% a year counts as being "forced out," then staying in a highly productive area of land indefinitely is "forcing" people who can otherwise move to your house to stay poor.

“Otherwise” is doing a lot of work here. The people can’t “otherwise” move there because the person isn’t selling, that’s the idea. Taxing people so they are forced to sell is forcing them out. Not taxing people so they are not forced to sell is letting them stay there. You’ve yet to explain why the people who do live there have less of a claim to the house than the wealthier people who would buy it from them.

> Never mind that it's the wealthy are the ones who benefit from elimination of property taxes.

Yes nevermind that since its not even true.

> It's society that makes the property valuable in the first place, so it makes sense to pay society back.

This reifies “society” as a thing-in-itself rather than properly considering society as consisting of the people who own the properties and make them valuable by their ownership, maintenance, and use. Then it equivocates “society” with the actual government that collects the taxes and decides how they are spent (typically routing them to their friends who sell goods and services to the government).

> The firefighters, schools, and social workers in your area need to get paid extra to account for the cost of living increases.

Cost of living increases like land value tax? Like how landlords pass increased taxes and maintenance onto their tenants?

> That money should come from the people benefit the most from their services, the property owners.

Its not at all clear that property owners benefit disproportionately from social services, and they also pay for those services through taxes.

I think most of this recent fascination with Georgism is a result of California tax policy and doesn’t withstand a cursory economic analysis.
The point of doing concurrency as a language feature is that it can stop you from writing incorrect programs in a way that a library can't. Besides, Swift already has concurrency libraries because Objective-C did - dispatch, NSOperation, NSRunLoop and so on. The problem is it has too many of them.

Shells like bash/ash/dash etc are not updated often syntactically, so refs for 3.x.x will still be great reference.

I totally agree with @simonblack 's great answer, its the "running into a problem and fixing it" which is the learning process (especially with shell scripting, that doesnt come with a fancy built in doc system, that modern languages have, but remember its shell, its not a modern language) you will find many "gotcha's!" along the way, remember them and not make that mistake again.

As simon said, start small, work up,
scripts should all be tasks, find some useful tasks you want automated, I have some that backup my PC and mobile devices, one to sync my music between all of them, one that can disable/enable apps on my phone/tablet.

Someone who showed me the way once suggested my first script should be a PS1 prompt, till this day it was the best first project and one I'll suggest to anyone getting started as its fast, simple, fullfilling but you find many problems along the way I assure you!

Start by making a prompt in format you like, then add some colour to it, make it multiline, add git status to it, write two functions "git_branch" and "git_dirty" and add these to your prompt command, add exit status indicating whether last command failed, make the symbol change if you are root, or make parts change colour instead, depending if you are root or command fails.

I actually made a bash cheatsheet for reference when I'm scripting so that I dont have to search the web, it contains hyperlinks that take you to tldp which is the site suggested by Simon, the very bottom of the sheet has links to all the best refs you'll find on the net, thus answering your question, the markdown version is finished, I still need to convert it to shell script, pdf & html (I'll do it one day!), hope it helps:

Of course we're decades away from the refinement we're looking for, or advertising for that matter. But mainstream AI like Alexa and Google Assistant are selling like hot cakes for the 'human touch.'

Not expecting singularity but for Moore's law to work in a suitable direction, we may have to take a step back and see if commercialization is holding back the development of an even smarter, better, more human AI.

Coming from a Rust game development background, something that's noticeable to me is that sampling based profiling seeks to solve a different problem than the types of questions games need to answer.

With sampling you can say "I saw function() 100/150 samples (10ms interval between samples), spend your time looking at that!".

That doesn't really work for games, where your work is on the scale of 0.1ms, and you might call the same function 100's of times in 16ms. Calling update_object() 1000 times an interval isn't actually a problem, when it's only taking 5% of your overall frame budget (on average). Games also have the constraint of not wanting your profiling to throw off the game speed itself, it needs to run very fast.

With games, what you really want to know are:

1. Which frames are taking over 16ms? (On the current machine; what's fast enough on one computer isn't on weaker machines. Sometimes you want to look at every frame, and not just the slow ones.)

2. What functions are causing them to go over?

3. Are those functions _usually_ that slow? How fast do they usually run, was this just an uncommon edge case? Mean/median/90th percentile performance?

With typical applications, instead you want to know

* Of the many diverging branches and tasks my application can do, which areas occur the most often, and are therefore worth spending time optimizing?

Sampling based profiling obviously works better for applications like this, while non-sampling profiling works better for games. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be very many GUIs/APIs for working with the latter, especially with linux compatibility. I'm hoping to remedy this, as soon as I get better at GTK.

EDIT: An example of why sampling based profilers (in this case, perf) aren't great for games. Although sandbox::sandbox::Sandbox::temperature_update takes up a decent amount of overall time, it's hard to tell whether that matters per frame or not.

I think it's a pain because it's one of those things you just can't guarantee. I can (try to) promise you as an IdP that website X can't just randomly ask for your information and be given it without your consent.

But once I've given that information away, it's irreversible. You can't unsend data. You can ask nicely for it to be deleted, or revoke future access, but unless you have a time machine, federated SLO for all parties in a session ought to just be considered an impossibility, and planned for accordingly with short sessions.
For me, it’s enough to consider the state of our hearts to realize how much more we need before this utopian vision comes to be.

Goenka (of the schools mentioned in the article) warns against gurus multiple times in his video lectures, and went out of his way to not dress or act like one. From what I heard, the recordings of him were by the insistence of other students, and wished that the actual teaching was taken up by a new generation. Unfortunately, playing back recordings scales very well, and they almost exclusively proxy as a teacher at the hundreds of vipassana schools around the globe. He was an excellent and charismatic communicator, and some people do deify him a little at the schools, so he kind of became a guru.
This. I tried to bootstrap an web flux application without spring boot or kofu or anything and you have to move thorugh so many different classes to get to the appropriate bean for the handlers that I just gave up. Also multiple simmilarly named classes like ``WebHandler``, ``HttpHandler``.

DI is also a pain and you never know where something is comming from unless you are familiar with what every single functions adds to the ``CONTEXT``.

You can easily have thousands of tasks (blocks) in dispatch, and thousands of queues as long as they're targeted to the same base queue.

The issue with dispatch is that it wasn't communicated enough that you want to have a few base queues and then a tree of other serial queues on top of that, so people end up running too many CPU threads at once, on a device that often has less than one core free at a time.

To be fair, I said nothing about long trips. You, and many others are suggesting/ hoping this tech will power the car for very short commutes. My point is I don’t believe even very short trips, on average, will be powered by these solar panels. Sure, a fraction of your short commute will be powered, if it is fully sunny & you don’t park in the shade. But there are too many folks here believing that their 10 mile daily commute will be fully covered, and I’m arguing it won’t. Doesn’t mean the tech is worthless though :)
That`s not spring boot, that`s whole spring (and google guice, etc), starting from the idiotic XML for bean wiring, to equally idiotic anntations, and finally, after 15 or how many years, they realized that plain java can be used for object creation. What a discovery! Still, they introduced @Configuration bullshit, etc.

(There are cases when such features may be useful, e. g. systems that are extended by 3rd party plugins, like Maven, although may be done without that as well).

For normall applications that´s nothing more than bloat and limitations. The problem that the majority of users follow cargo cults without understanding what are they doing. In result the ecosystem is full of bad practices.

AbstactArgumentBuilderFactoryFactory were in fashion for the same reason.

Does DogeCoin better investment than Ethereum Classic in 2021?
Some loose threads:

The main difference between bonds and cash is mostly based on the fact that cash is the means of settlement.

But in fact what we call cash can also have two main forms: federal reserves (debt of the feds) that can be dealt with only by banks and regular bank depositories (debt of the particular bank). And there is even a third layer of Euro Dollar which is debt of non-US banks who cannot hold federal reserves and who can only rely on deposits at 'correspondent banks' in the US who can hold federal reserves.

The fed reserves is the most liquid form of money - but it cannot be held by individuals, only by US banks. Bank depositories are less liquid because there can be a bank run - in that respect US government bonds are in fact less risky even though they are not used as a settlement or accounting mechanism. They are less risky because the US government will always pay them back, because they are USD denominated and there is no gold parity any more. Non rhetorical question: are there any scenarios where the US defaults on their debts?

It is only 50 years that we can a complete fiat based money - before that the system was based on gold (and silver and other resources like shells) - so the current USD based system is really incomparable with the past reserve currencies. Somehow Ray Dalio in his essays with historical comparisons completely misses that - but of course it only makes his thesis stronger.

Non US bonds denominated in USD are completely different - because they can default. In gold based system all bonds used to be like that, because in the end no government could print gold.

Maybe 50 years is not enough to have any full cycle and there is no way to extrapolate.

The economists base their inflation and similar models mostly on the US economy and fiscal mechanisms - but because of globalisation the share of USD transactions outside of the US economy is probably growing. I would love to see stats on that.

> A stable economic system requires two components: growth and inclusivity.

Stability and continuous growth would seem to be incompatible, surely?

> Economic growth matters because most people want their lives to improve every year.

It may be true that most people want that but so what?

I'm a big proponent of everyone having a decent level of quality of life, that's not the problem. The problem is taking a child's view of reality and trying to make it stick when it comes to deciding policy. We can't "improve every year" forever. What does that mean? A larger house each year?

I can understand saying that as a political move to get people on your side, but it's irrational.

We must design forms of economic growth that respect basic physical reality.

> In a zero-sum world, one with no or very little growth,

But we don't live in a zero-sum world. We live in a bubble sandwiched between hard vacuum and magma that hosts a fantastic chemical tautology powered (mostly) by the energy gradient between the Sun and the rest of the dark sky. This process is not zero-sum.

In order to have a stable system with continuous growth there must also be death and decay.

- - - -

I think we could set up a "split-level" economy that is physically steady-state and virtually growth-and-death dynamic.

The physical economy would be much simpler and much much more efficient than it is today, and everyone would have a decent standard of living within their energy/pollution budget. Most of the wins and losses and creativity and innovation and all that good economic drama would happen in the online virtual economy where it can't cause environmental issues with our Spaceship Earth.

But I don't think you have to make national policy to do that. Buy some land in the desert, build "Village Homes"[1] with some integrated regenerative farms, rent/lease/sell it and repeat. Build hyper-efficient ecologically harmonious neighborhoods. We could do this today, it's self-funding and self-correcting. The major issues there would be putting together the expertise and getting past the red tape. All the technology you would need is off-the-shelf.

Big fund holdings (without knowing their full strategy) are insightful, but only in the sense that you can see how many big funds are holding a particular stock.

Looking just at holdings of any one fund can be pointless since you never know how these holding are part of some bigger strategy especially when you don't know what other derivatives they're holding like options / futures and other non publicly traded products. Any particular holding might also be part of a bigger ploy. It can be part of a hedge / bet / short / or acquisition strategy. Any single holding can also be part of multiple portfolios within one fund each with their own diverse investment goals.

Meditations helped teach me how to ignore pain and temporary things in pursuit of the immortal virtuous life of purpose. One that creates long lasting works of art, beautiful memories and a solid reliable character that those I care about can count on.

Stoicism is like a filter. You shake out all the bullshit out of your life and theoretically find the thing that you cannot shake out. That is your true drive.

If you shook the bullshit out of your life and found nothing was left, then perhaps you should consider what is out there that you are attracted to.
