>According to the Guardian, historians posit that childbirth was the main cause of death for English women between the late 5th and 11th centuries; the study notes that the neonatal mortality rate during this period was between 30 and 60 percent.

Good lord. I can't imagine all the ways in which that fact weighed on culture, from religiosity (the only way to have a feeling of control) to relations between men and women (sex has a chance of death).

In the space of last summer I was assaulted by police, a group of III%ers moved onto my block, and there were talks at high levels of the government about designating my politics as terrorism. Now I have guns. But I hope I'll never have to use them against another person.

Meanwhile, I train regularly and I've found target shooting to be a really relaxing and meditative pursuit.

>Even if you “pretend” to rent by putting out a fake add and then not signing the rental agreement, that doesn’t count. That only gives you the demand side of the price. Since you know that you don’t intend to actually rent your home, you will not give serious consideration the opportunity cost of renting out your home.

The point of the fake ad is to gauge what the current market clearing price is, which presumably already takes into account the current supply/demand. It's not any different than using the current stock price to judge what an entire company is worth (market cap), even though only a fraction of the shares are actually on the order book.

Sure, I have no idea about the specific company cited; but I do think that most of the effort spent by most of software developers in most of the companies is wasted on details that are not manifest to people who don't have direct experience with the job on a daily basis (either as working developers or by people managing them). The farther up and out you go, the easier is it to underappreciated the rabbit hole that software development is, and thus to underestimate the costs. And to, once realizing that, still be baffled at how it is possible that "just doing this little thing was really supposed to cost that much?". Many just don't invest the "right" amount of resources, judging that there is something wrong with all that, that we're either subject to an overinflated salary bubble or something else.

> data.table is a completely separate implementation of a data structure that is functionally similar to a data frame but designed from the ground up for efficiency, though with some compromises, such as eschewing R's typical copy-on-modify paradigm.

This is totally false. data.table inherits from data.frame. Sure, it has some extra attributes that a tibble doesn’t but the way classing works in R is so absurdly lightweight, that’s meaningless in comparison. Both tibble and data.table are data.frames at their core which are just lists of equal length vectors. You can pass a data.table wherever you pass a data.frame.

Ironically the only market mechanism to force money back into the rest of the system is for interest rates to rise. If real interest rates sat at ~7% those with money would attempt to lend it and liquidate unproductive assets, those borrowing to purchase unproductive assets would be forced to sell. Productive, but high cost assets would come down in price (housing) due to lack of demand. For interest rates to rise, there will need to be a lack of liquidity at the current interest rate, many businesses are now dependent on artificially low interest rates and guaranteed liquidity.

Unfortunately we've built an economy which requires progressively lower interest rates to sustain. Rebalancing will be expensive ( see the interest rate increase in the run-up to '08 )

Er, no, rather the opposite.

> Fighting the Dutch

I don't see why this is in the positive column; English political dysfunctionality was so bad that thirty years after Cromwell's death, the English establishment invited the Dutch to invade, welcomed them, and had them fight the Irish (again). William of Orange is still celebrated by anti-Catholic groups.

>Governments love inflation, because it enables them to inflate away the value of debt which would otherwise be unsustainable (or electorally unpopular).

This doesn't really work because when inflation goes up, so do interest rates. Inflation was rampant in the 70s, but so were the interest rates, so there isn't any free lunch here.

> The New Deal political coalition was shattered in 1968 and we've had neoliberal politics since then which are indifferent to economic inequality.

This is also a red herring. The New Deal did little to actually fix structural wealth problems. And "neoliberal" politics actually included a lot of progressive politics like negative income tax, drug legalization, prison abolition, etc.

A better reading of history would be that the post-war boom in the US mostly amounted to a lucky windfall and the US has wasted a lot of policies trying to recreate an economic boom using cultural levers.
My understanding is that the “Andon Chord” was developed by Toyoda out of lean manufacturing in Japan as a result of resource constrained manufacturing.

I'm not an expert, but in Antonia Fraser's biography, Cromwell comes across as a remarkably tolerant person for his time. He was anti-Catholic, but this is in the context of 150 years of religious conflict including, within living memory, an attempted terrorist attack on Parliament. And yet he negotiated with the Pope to secure freedom of private worship for Catholics in exchange for the Pope not preaching rebellion to English subjects. Of the many bigots on his side, he once said "Nothing will satisfy them unless they can put their finger upon their brethren's consciences, to pinch them there." He spoke for toleration: "I had rather that Mahometanism were permitted amongst us than that one of God's children should be persecuted." He set up a committee to debate what latitude in religion should be allowed: it's clear that the answer was going to be much wider than anything allowed under Charles I. (Not surprisingly, since the Independents in the army were fighting for the principle of freedom of worship - for Christians - and against any church establishment.) I've already mentioned his protection of the Jews.

It's important not to confuse Cromwell with "the Puritans" in general, still less some of the extremists in the army. He never had absolute power, and he had to tread carefully while reining in many of his supporters.
It's even worse when you consider that central banks have been deliberately keeping wages down through decades of inflation targeting, while ignoring asset prices. And fiscal policy has done nothing to compensate for this. It's actually made things worse by imposing much higher taxes on earned income than on capital gains and other wealth. The perfect recipe for greater and greater inequality.

This list misses the actual reason various historians have sought to rehabilitate Cromwell or at least paint him as a complex figure: he was a symbol of middle class rebellion against arbitrary monarchical power and the emergence of Parliament as the centre of British politics, having risen from relatively humble origins to play a leading role in the military defeat of and political decision to execute a monarch seen as exceeding his powers over Parliament.

Of course the great irony is that he then arbitrarily dismissed Parliament himself (though the record doesn't suggest this was his actual goal) and was so unpopular in power that the restoration of the previous king's son to the throne on his death was inevitable. He certainly wasn't the poster boy for the development of British democracy, but he influenced its development massively - positively and negatively.

There is a decent chance that Parliament would have overthrown and executed Charles I without his military skill or enthusiasm for regicide (just like similar massacres in Ireland would likely have taken place without his -disputed- involvement and apologia) as he wasn't even a significant figure at the beginning of the conflict, but those whose name and public statements becomes most known always get the credit and the blame.

This is something I learned as a subreddit moderator. People were quite vocal about certain things, but when we polled the community, they turned out to be a minority.

For example, people constantly complain about pictures of the same few things filling the sub, but those pictures get massively upvoted, and several polls confirmed that people want them to stay. Yet we go over this topic every damn week.

Another was my own behaviour. I often post links to my own website in answer to questions. Some users were quite vocal about it being spammy, but every time we polled the community, they said it's alright. My comments get upvoted, OP gets his answer, and mostly everyone is happy. The mods also gave their approval.

There's a point where you can say "haters gonna hate", and rest easy knowing that most of your users are happy.

There's a name for what you described: modern monetary theory. AFAIK there really isn't a consensus on whether it works or not.
Yes, but the author is using "bootstrapped" in the past tense. i.e. a founder who was bootstrapped but might be willing to take money that didn't have a ton of strings and a set of "okay, now roll the dice on rocket growth with a do or die deadline" marching orders attached.
The financial system is a fraud.
It doesn't make sense that you can keep borrowing money to pump up the value of a speculative asset and then use this growing collateral to borrow even more money to pump up the price of that asset even more and repeat ad infinitum.

It's extremely frustrating to have to participate in a system which is run by a mix of rich crooks and rich idiots.
It's obvious that it will all end in a disaster but in the meantime, massive talent and decades of people's lives are being wasted away to cater to a bunch of manipulative crooks.

It's sad engineers making even $200,000 or more can't understand how even $100-1000 in the bank can change lives forever for many people in poor countries.

It‘s at version 1.0 because it has a mature and stable interface. That does not mean that it cannot have experimental features which are not part of that stable interface.
It does not follow from the post- gold-standard instability of gold that the prior stability was due to market manipulation; the nature of the asset changed fundamentally. You might say the gold was "backed by" the financial system, whereas now it's a speculative asset no better than BTC.
No, Indie really meant it. I think. Wanted to fund the founders who were bootstrapped until that point.

However, do not be surprised about co-opting. Co-opting by venture capitalists is normal. Many industries co-opt things as well, and redefine them to be mean something more “efficient”.

Example: The terms friend and like were co-opted by Facebook. Now people say friend me and “please like my stuff” as a throwaway statement. These terms used to mean something deep and genuine up to 15 years ago. That’s what capitalism does - cheapens things and commoditizes them. Often, that is useful but sometimes it cheapens things you used to value highly.
Enforcing naming conventions so that apps do what they say and say what they do doesn't strike me as particularly draconian or unexpected in this context.

Uber, Tinder, Twitter, and countless others would dispute the "Apple just want's accurate app name descriptions" theory. And in this case "Crabhouse" is a highly accurate description, or at least more so than many others.
Everyone stopped using xrdb more than twenty years ago, same things for drawing primitives.

I'm sorry to hear your friend won't be obtaining a degree just beyond a Bachelor's, or audition for the role of Bruce Wayne's butler, or pass beyond journeyman status in any trade. Does he not value recognized excellence? I presume he's not an heir presumptive of a Scottish peerage, nor does he aspire for a senior post in the Queen's household. Does he have any interest in the recording industry, I hear they do great things with old LPs these days to make them sound better. Perhaps he is musically inclined, there is a leader of the band job if he is. He could enlist in the navy, if he's not looking to get beyond an E-9. Regardless, I applaud gitlab for affording your friend the last venue of employment when the world and its derisive callousness collectively turns him away from his avocation. From development he may switch over to network and/or security, but better wait a few years. Those scoundrels still maintain a list of things that are denied, and things that are allowed, and your friend is probably not ready to know about them yet. To your friend!

By the way, does he have any possession? Any at all? He may be in for a surprise to discover how he himself is addressed. Break it to him gently, won't you?
The fact that you are demanding him to mention debt shows you've a short-sighted view of the world, seeing only what happens close to home from what appears to be a privileged point-of-view.

I'm using Shiori, a bookmark manager built with Go, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to be actively maintained. The nice thing is it has a CLI, password login, archiving, advanced tagging and searching. It can even be ran in a Docker image so I just mount the bookmark database into the container, which makes it easy to backup. Does anyone have any good recommendations for an actively maintained bookmark manager like this that doesn't rely on PHP? I'm aware of Shaarli but I'm looking for something either in C, Go, or Rust with a web UI. Ideally a browser extension as well for easily adding bookmarks, maybe using Native Messaging or an API.
I don't. I keep tabs open indefinitely.
Under standard definitions, every bank loan creates money out of thin air. When you get a $10k car loan, for example, that means the amount of money floating around the economy has increased by $10k; there's nobody else in the market who has to spend $10k less because you got that loan.

Theoretically, supply side economics. Demand side economics makes even liberal economists uncomfortable, because it's so closely tied to inflation of consumer goods. They would rather fund the industries that make the goods, so there are more goods (and jobs producing them).

It's clear that it isn't working, which is why a heretical sect of MMT economics wants to do demand side. It's a big change, the kind that takes a generation dying off to accomplish. Especially since it may not work. It's a genuine unknown, with the primary advantage that we don't already know what kind of regulatory capture it would cause. Which is enough for some, given how badly the current situation is fraying.

You are right but probably in your case there's a second component: Economy crumbling due to political instability or something of that sort.

Extreme inflation is not the same as the inflation we see in the western countries, it is usually accompanied with some turmoil therefore the salaries do get adjusted but they get adjusted beneath the inflation as the economy gets smaller. Once the stability is achieved, you can end up with an order of magnitude higher inflation that the rich western countries but have noticeable increase from year to year in terns of quality of life and access to import goods.

Probably my claims don't cover any case of hyperinflation because that always comes with other problems too, therefore you probably don't have a healthy economy in hyperinflation.

Well, take a hound dog, for example. He has many, many, many more olfactory cells in his snout than humans. Imagine you and a dog are hiking along some unmarked trail. The dog, unbeknownst to you, notices the smell of gas. Maybe it bothers her, and she decides to walk away from there. You follow the dog, away from the trail, and discover that a couple of hours later, there's an explosion at the exact spot. There was a leaking gas pipe a dozen feet below, and the dog had noticed it.

Interesting to read about redgrep and derivatives approach. Currently I'm programming a language that adds turing completeness to PEG expressions -- as in functions, but extended so the lhs is like a PEG -- just as function body can call sub functions, so too can the lhs

I'm hoping this will give a simple unified language
