I was referring to perfect market competition:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_competition [1]

And I said money supply depends on market activity meaning only scenario where would amount of money be constant is perfect market competition(quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal) but perfect market competition does not exist in reality.

It is also called Market equilibrium: "in this case is a condition where a market price is established through competition such that the amount of goods or services sought by buyers is equal to the amount of goods or services produced by sellers." [2]

When was this true ? I remember since forever the "DON'T UPGRADE JVM ON THIS SERVER" notices since Java 5-6 days. Hell I've seen a case where a minor update would break a production app.

And I don't even do Java development.

Not to mention android and gradle being broken and randomly failing to work between different JVM versions - depending on the gradle flavour of the day.

I don't really see JVM as a pillar of stability and backwards compatibility.

For the record, it's the Danish government. Denmark now performs both PCR and nose swap tests, both antigen tests. Somewhere between 200'000 - 300'000 tests are performed each day now, making Denmark the country in the world (of above 1 million people) performing the most tests per capita per day.
They use vosotros in Colombia as well, specifically in Medellín and a couple of other places in the "coffee axis," i.e as far out as Manizales.

> Is a rare vinyl pressing of a record any nicer to listen to than an mp3 you can download for free?

I get your point but this isn't a particularly suitable example. Audiophiles have been arguing for ages that the quality of compressed mp3 and even CDs is not comparable to vinyl, that vinyl is "warmer", etc. Flamewars have been waged about this. So maybe not the best example?
One thing you can be sure of is that the states that became wealthy from fossil fuels will write histories that proclaim the virtues of fossil fuels, and the wisdom of the courses they navigated, in peace and in war.

“If you imagine the 4,500-bilion-odd years of Earth's history compressed into a normal earthly day, then life begins very early, about 4 A.M., with the rise of the first simple, single-celled organisms, but then advances no further for the next sixteen hours. Not until almost 8:30 in the evening, with the day five-sixths over, has Earth anything to show the universe but a restless skin of microbes. Then, finally, the first sea plants appear, followed twenty minutes later by the first jellyfish and the enigmatic Ediacaran fauna first seen by Reginald Sprigg in Australia. At 9:04 P.M. trilobites swim onto the scene, followed more or less immediately by the shapely creatures of the Burgess Shale. Just before 10 P.M. plants begin to pop up on the land. Soon after, with less than two hours left in the day, the first land creatures follow.

Thanks to ten minutes or so of balmy weather, by 10:24 the Earth is covered in the great carboniferous forests whose residues give us all our coal, and the first winged insects are evident. Dinosaurs plod onto the scene just before 11 P.M. and hold sway for about three-quarters of an hour. At twenty-one minutes to midnight they vanish and the age of mammals begins. Humans emerge one minute and seventeen seconds before midnight. The whole of our recorded history, on this scale, would be no more than a few seconds, a single human lifetime barely an instant. Throughout this greatly speeded-up day continents slide about and bang together at a clip that seems positively reckless. Mountains rise and melt away, ocean basins come and go, ice sheets advance and withdraw. And throughout the whole, about three times every minute, somewhere on the planet there is a flash-bulb pop of light marking the impact of a Manson-sized meteor or one even larger. It's a wonder that anything at all can survive in such a pummeled and unsettled environment. In fact, not many things do for long.”

This language compiles to JavaScript, so it's 0x slower than JavaScript. Comparing similarly named functions between Clio and vanilla JS obviously wouldn't be fair as the feature-set between the two are not equal.

Yes, sorry, last night I was a bit flippant and this issue remains a bit of a thorn in my geek heart. I was trying to convey how this guy, flown out by Nokia HQ, felt and sounded like coming from a parallel dimension where developers really wanted to use Symbian in 2008/2009.

Indeed. The switch to reusable options comes with its own challenges, though (says my social circle, I don't menstruate). So if the goal is to change things in one's own life for the sake of sustainability, there are lower hanging fruits than menstrual hygiene.
So it looks like OpenReach can build FTTP connections, turn off the ADSL and FTTC connections and charge as much as they like.

They aren't allowed to differentiate based on geography, so they'll just charge everyone what it costs to deliver FTTP to remote Scottish islands with no power and only one house.

In the few areas where they have competition from Virgin or Gigaclear, they won't bother to upgrade - what would be the point? They'll be more expensive, so won't get any customers.
You are right in the observation that it will save some lines of code to be /written/. Whether or not that's an essential improvement for the writers of code, I don't know (one must weigh the cost of knowing the feature/pattern in the first place).

But this perspective is essentially my grievance. C++ turns more and more into an exercise of programming the compiler. usability for people that want to use code is ever more deteriorating. There are more aspects like this in the language, for instance the fact that not even the std library can write out the return types or argument types of many functions. Or the hoops one has to jump through to deconstruct a std::variant (no one dared to add a proper sum type, but it is ok to implement one using the template interpreter).
This would be beautiful

If only the conversations between Sun and Netscape had gone a little differently back in the day, and we'd had a single language/system in the browser – 'java' integrated with HTML and decent JVM sandbox shipped in every browser. Things would have looked very different today.

I'm going to have to call this subjective, because, surprisingly, I've also used capacitive screens.

I could use the N900 wet and in gloves, and it was pressure sensitive. Also, I once dropped it so hard that it broke a tiny piece of the sidewalk off (I tried to catch it while it was falling, and instead batted it and added velocity to the fall.) The screen was fine. I've never seen a cracked N900 screen.

The only time it required a stylus is when I was using a desktop UI on it, making everything microscopic. If you did that with a capacitive screen it would require a special stylus, whereas with my N900, a toothpick would do.
Yes, but if a company does this, they are essentially killing themselves. They have presumably spent a lot of time creating a company, gain customers etc, whereas a single(?) maybe anonymous open source developer does not have that much to lose.

The greatest thing about this implementation is its simplicity. I actually deployed this server for my personal use because everything lives in one Docker image and not a lot of them like the official implementation. I do understand that the official implementation helps with scalability and more, I just don't need it.
Sure, but the point of the practice is to produce quality, and then display the good bits of your production because mixing the few good ones into the deludge of average works isn't very helpful for the audience.

Definition of perverse incentive. How do you imagine this to work?
It's actually much worse than that. Nobody knows what the false positive rate of the COVID PCR testing programmes are, nor is it even possible to know thanks to the prevalence of circular logic in the public health sector.

Summarised, COVID has been defined as having a positive test. Therefore, by definition, the test has no false positives. We know this is unlikely to be true in reality because in prior PCR testing programmes where disease was defined correctly they did indeed have FPs. In one notorious case the FP rate was 14% and the error rate was 100% - literally every single reported positive was false. In other pre-COVID times PCR labs were challenged with random samples and some labs had 8% FP rates.

Last year I wrote about some of these problems on my blog:

https://blog.plan99.net/pseudo-epidemics-7603b2da839

This second article summarises the first in bullet-point form for those who prefer that to a narrative format:

https://blog.plan99.net/pseudo-epidemics-part-ii-61cb0566960...

None of the problems identified there have been fixed, as far as I know. Every FP rate you see quoted for PCR testing is based on some form of invalid reasoning like "one test might be false, but if we test the same person twice in a row then it's guaranteed to be correct and we can calculate the FP rate from that".

There are some subtleties to consider.

1. FP rates seem to vary a lot across labs and across time. There is no one single FP rate. Lab challenge programmes in the past returned everything from zero FPs to unusably high rates of FPs for what was theoretically the same test and the same challenge samples. This can occur if FPs are driven mostly by cross-contamination.

2. Public health officials seem to routinely mis-use logic in ways that converts false positives into false negatives. FNs are then used to justify ramping up the sensitivity of the test, which creates more FPs, which are interpreted as more FNs, in a loop. My essay provides some evidence for this.

3. PCR tests don't detect live virus. They start with a lysis stage that kills the viruses and breaks open the capsid, so the RNA is exposed and can be detected. By implication the test cannot tell the difference between someone who is currently infected and infectious, and someone who has debris from their own body destroying the virus in their bloodstream. Normally this doesn't matter because PCR tests aren't scheduled by doctors for people who are healthy, but for COVID clinical diagnosis has been cut out of the equation entirely, so anyone who tests positive is considered to be "sick".

It's fair to say that huge quantities of research papers that are predicated upon the correctness of PCR testing are actually in some limbo state of quasi pseudo-science. A test which detects a "disease" which is itself defined as testing positive is an exercise in circular reasoning and all conclusions based on it must be treated with extreme care.
It's because "class" and "class" are referring to two difference semantics.

An OO GC'd language "class" is a mechanism for run-time polymorphism. That's what it's for.

C++ has no "runtime" concerns of these kinds, so virtualization sits on top systems with compile-time semantics (ie., c++ classes).

Amen. I absolutely hate pinch to zoom. Screw to zoom is better, and actually educational. Teaches righty-tighty lefty-loosey.

IIRC lack of multitouch was a software problem. The N900 was rife with software problems. If they had just kept the Linux orthodox and left out the binary blobs, they would have been able to go back to the platform after the MS disaster with the OS looking and working 10x better than where they left it.

And how many countries of energy does the other financial system use, for comparison?
"Theological debate" must require a lot of qualifiers, because there certainly were an abundance of theological debates prior to the Mongols, some of them historically famous.
The infrastructure supporting hundreds of national currencies, hundreds of stock exchanges, thousands of banks, hundreds of payment providers and cryptocurrency exchanges vs a single distributed ledger (basically a piece of paper). Bitcoin has 200 million users at most if you are really generous. It's really not a fair comparison. You would have to combine all cryptocurrencies and their energy consumption to even approach a fair comparison.

The energy usage is only used for mining, it's not even used to secure and ensure its reliability on exchanges whose energy consumption is actually counted against the mining energy. The energy consumption will grow simply because Bitcoin is going up, not because Bitcoin is processing more transactions or providing value in any form. Yes bigger banks need more energy but they can also provide more services thanks to their increased size.

Bitcoin doesn't even compete with Banks because Banks offer loans, consolidate small deposits into large capital reserves, etc. Bitcoin doesn't compete with stocks because Bitcoin ownership doesn't represent an ownership stake in the Bitcoin industry or any other industry. Bitcoin doesn't compete with payment providers because it is too slow and expensive. Bitcoin doesn't compete against cryptocurrency exchanges. Ethereum with its uniswap protocol may do so but that's not Bitcoin. Ethereum provides more value for less energy consumption than bitcoin. The only thing Bitcoin really competes against is gold because of the proof of ownership. You own your Bitcoin in your wallet the same way you own your car or house (after paying your mortgage or car loan off of course).

Bonus:

Why did I compare Bitcoin to a piece of paper? Because the people working in finance are part of the finance system. In Bitcoin only the miners are part of the system. So ultimately you just have a fancy piece of paper on which you cannot write lies on. With the finance system it is closer to bodyguards guarding the paper and making sure nobody can write on it. Again, people are part of the system. It's not just the paper that is important.

Everything in the study can be completely explained with a mechanism no more powerful than "dogs tend to follow their owners". Plus a little bit of quantifying whether they are more loyal at following adult owners/shelter workers/children.
