I don't have much in the way of general advice other than "try to be inclusive toward people whose experiences and circumstances may not be like yours", in much the same way as male allies should be aware of things that can make women feel unsafe, omnivores should be aware that some folks have dietary restrictions, and so on.

Money can pop up as an excluding factor pretty easily. So, for example, insist on a hard (and low, ideally ridiculously low) upper bound on any expenses associated with optional-but-not-really events like gift exchanges or potluck meals. A company-culture norm of spending higher amounts on such things can cause a lot of stress, even if the amounts are still affordable: ie. figuring out a $25 Secret Santa gift is easier than a $50, much less $75, one.
>If that were actually an important factor then no-one would do development on OSX

People only develop on MacOS because of how similar it is to Unix, not in spite of it. Go ahead, look at how many developers were using MacOS before OSX. I'll wait. The reason why people develop on Macs is because it's "close enough" to Linux to deploy with, and "good enough" as a desktop to keep tabs on most of your other apps.

> So while there may be some premium to being able to "develop at home", clearly many developers value other considerations more highly.

Let's clear this up: there is no development without development at home. If you work for a company as a developer, you'll be expected to maintain a machine that can consistently build and deploy your software. Unless you're working as a web developer (in which case, may god have mercy on your soul), you're probably going to end up using an x86 machine. Hell, my best friend is a die-hard Apple fan, and even he has admit that he can't really upgrade his Xeon iMac unless Apple offers him an upgrade within the x86 ecosystem.
This looks very promising. Parcel is currently the slowest part of my build process, compiling to JS and running tests is an order of magnitude faster. Regardless I’ve found Parcel v1 to be very useful and entirely worth the wait time.
Encrypting data at rest at least is getting better if only because more systems do it by default as time goes on.
It's not that simple. Higher labor costs is good for corporations because they can afford it, while it wipes out their competition. Small businesses don't have the benefits of scale and are already in survival mode.

Also, increased labor costs necessarily means higher prices for goods. Which affects the poor more than the rich. Does it matter to the rich if a gallon of milk or gas goes up 2x? No, they won't even notice. But the poor sure will.

You don't have to be sorry, you're providing a high quality open-source product for free. It just is what it is.

Addendum: I manage a very small open-source product (https://www.planimeter.org/grid-sdk/), and when you're creating something that competes with an established incumbent, all you can do is your best and focus on the most impactful features. Individuals like the one above saying things like, "I'll be avoiding parcel like the plague," is really disheartening, but try and focus on their concerns more than the actual words they use.

Frustrated people are a goldmine for feedback that many projects simply do not receive. Take it in stride, know that you have something others do not, and use it to your advantage. It can be hard to separate your feelings from the words used, but there are diamonds there.

The "just pay more" argument is compelling, but on a certain level the economy has to also actually be functional at the end of the day. It's nice to see people supported by a safety net, but if we ignore the fact that our supply chains are getting messed with by these policies then we're going to end up in a situation where disadvantaged people have money in their pocket, but have to wait 6 months to get their broken refrigerator replaced.

>Somehow the author seems to think that this is not what the wording intended, but they also fail to explain what they think should happen here.

What "should" happen is that the implementation-defined behavior in the assert matches the implementation-defined behavior in the calculation. That is, assert(a+100>a) should produce the same result as

int x = a + 100;

Flyover country checking in. Non- or semi-technical bigcos of the sort with big IT departments who take most of a week to get you your laptop when you start, are almost all Windows but may tolerate some macOS. Technical bigcos are mixed Win/macOS, with the business side preferring Windows and the tech people all on Macs. Smaller tech companies are all Mac, pretty much universally. Every now and then you get the one weirdo whose laptop can never connect to the projector and whose screen sharing always fucks up on calls or takes 5 minutes to get their bluetooth headset working, because they're on Linux (disclaimer: many years ago, I've been that weirdo). I've only seen one shop that was mostly Linux + Windows with little or no Mac presence, and they were in hardware (drivers or proprietary libs for embedded devices can be hard to come by Macs).

> I suspect so - makes it harder to reason about loop counts because the compiler can't necessarily guarantee that an incremented loop counter won't become negative and thus the loop needs to iterate more.

This is a favourite example that gets thrown around, but for all practical loops GCC and clang seem to have no problem even when you compile with -fwrapv
I've always liked an asymmetric layout when working with two monitors such that I have one "main" monitor in front used for my main task (e.g. my terminal for work) then a secondary to the side that is used for supporting windows - browser, music, pdfs, or another terminal depending on the work. It helps keep an established hierarchy, and you basically just use your neck as a window switcher.

Fortran has had built-in array operations since the Fortran 90 standard. If X and Y are scalars or arrays of the same shape, you can X+Y, X*Y, exp(X), sin(X) etc. You can define your own elemental functions that act on both scalars and arrays of any rank. I still write loops when programming in Fortran 95 but less often than in Fortran 77. So I think modern Fortran is an array language.
Piecing together the story from https://pedestrianobservations.com and other places, I would not imitate Japan in this regard.

- Japan's terrain is fairly ideal for rail. Yes, mountains make for more work, put people are also naturally congregated near the coast, in valleys, etc. Additionally, the largest cities with the high population form a linear chain from roughly Nagasaki to Tokyo. That means more network effects per distance of rail (there's no penalty separate than time delay for traveling through other cities first).

- Japan has perhaps the best policy around land use in the developed world. See https://www.sightline.org/2021/03/25/yes-other-countries-do-... for some details. This helps greatly with density and clustering around rail stations.

- The privatization was triggered by the fright around Japan's big deficits after the 80s boom, and perhaps still maintained with some fear of that. That doesn't make it a good idea, of course, but I'm willing to call it more "defensive neoliberalism" than "offensive neoliberalism", but maybe that makes it a little less ideological given that Japan was the poster child for all the neoclassical economic doomsday predictions?

- https://pedestrianobservations.com in particular says the privatization and and general being spooked about more debt holds back some construction on paper, but since the rail is so well established already and operationally profitable, there is less to screw up.

In conclusion, I'd say that because Japan gets everything adjacent to rail policy so absolutely well done, and the rail network was already functioning so way, it continues to succeed not because but despite privatization.
Romanian is an example of the exact same thing. It did not inherit a utiliza from Latin, rather it borrowed it in the 19th century from French utiliser, because French was viewed as the posh and intellectual language then. Before that, for ‘to use’ Romanians just used the (Greek loan)word a folosi, which is generally more common than a utiliza even today.
The general point about cash losing money to inflation is spot on, but:

> Why downvote? If you disagree, please say why.

Sure, so

> Stonks are stonks. They're fine, but they don't provide the (at least) two fold benefit of buying a house in American society.

If you look at averages (across multiple areas, over many decades), you get:

* stonks yield somewhere around 6% above inflation (so 9-10% before inflation).

* houses yield somewhere around 1% above inflation, after including all the other random incentives plus taxes and upkeep costs, (not including multi family rental properties, which is a different matter)

There are localities in which houses do much better (say the bay area), and there are localities in which houses do much worse (Detroit).

But on average, it's a massive opportunity cost vs investing in equities. Which is fine, because there's other benefits to owning a house, like not having to move if someone jacks up your rent.

While we're at it, other reasons for downvotes may include:

> metals soon

These yield also ~1% above inflation

> Like starting to optimize away loop checks that can "never happen" because signed integer overflow is UB, suddenly changing the behavior of programs that were fine for years?

Yeah. Not doing that on modern processors is actually quite disruptive.

Here:

for(i = offset; i < (offset + 16); i++) {
arr[i] = i + 32;
}

What C compilers currently do is, in line with the standard, ignore the case that offset + 16 might overflow. This makes this eligible for loop unrolling, and depending on the specifics of the math inside the loop, the compiler can do a lot to pre-calculate things because it knows this is happening 16 times exactly.

If, instead, we force compilers to think about the fact that offset + 16 could have some implementation-defined meaning like wrapping, then all bets are off & we have to throw a bunch of optimization opportunities out the window.

Lots and lots of hot & tight loops which are currently able to be compiled into something suitable for the preferences of modern CPUs instead has to be to be naively compiled because of the need to hold back due to the possibility of something that largely wasn’t happening, happening.

Most people write most loops this way, never expecting or intending to overflow anything. Most loops are benefitting from this optimization. A lot of code would get slower, and programmers would have to do a lot more fragile hand-unrolling of operations to get that performance back. And they’d need to update that more often, as whatever the optimal “stride” of unrolling changes with the evolution of CPU pipelines.

It’s slower code and more work more often for more people, to satisfy a minority use-case that should really just have its own separate “please wrap this” construct.
A lot of native English speakers think English is a difficult language to learn. It's true that English has a lot of spelling and pronunciation inconsistencies caused by mixing German, Latin, Greek, etc. But English is structurally very simple: few subject/verb agreement classes, few tenses, modifications like "ask vs. command" or "desire vs. predict" are achieved by adding words instead of conjugation. There are no genders to memorize. It's probably easier than the average language to construct grammatically correct sentences.
It might help to have a strong definition of “native”. The problem is that the definition changes slightly from person to person.

In my opinion, “native speaker” should mean “a person who is completely fluent in a language and formulates their thoughts in it.” But I’m wondering if we should include “social norms” in the definition of “native”...

I did not speak English until we moved to America when I was 12. Now I hardly have a chance to speak my “native” language anymore, and instead am fluent, accent-less and conduct my daily activities (and even dream) almost exclusively in English. My kids and my wife all speak English only. I have become a native speaker, and by my own definition, I have become a foreign speaker in the language I learned as a kid. I’m still fluent in it, but I struggle sometimes to find the right words (translate from English).

Another anecdote, my wife, who is an Australian native - speaking what is closer to the “Queen’s English” than American English - was forced to take an ESL test when she first moved here to start college to assess her English knowledge. Is she a native speaker? Linguistically, yes. But she struggled to understand others in America and, more importantly, have others understand her. “Can I have some cutlery?” directed at a waiter for met with a blank stare (clearly unfamiliar with that term, I interjected with “eating utensils”). This is where societal norms and cultural lingo comes into play.

For people who don't understand this: in the US (mostly in the South), 'pone' is a type of unleavened quick bread usually made with cornmeal. It's almost never used as-is; I've only ever seen 'corn pone' (or 'cornpone'). It's not a root word in American English that you would naturally want to modify with pre- or -post-, unless maybe you were joking about being hungry (pre-pone) then eating a lot and needing a nap (post-pone).
> Your competition is working under the exact same rules you are.

In this case, that's not true. If your competition can pay people the median US income to stay home and do nothing and offer them a tax break on that free income, it's going to be difficult to convince them to come work 40hrs/week for you even if you offer them 10-50% more money.

The key is to look at the marginal increase in income. Unemployment (plus limited federal additional benefits) can pay out similarly to the median US income for doing zero work. Anyone looking at a job will subtract those zero-work payments from your salary offer and only consider the marginal rate. If someone can only go from $30K on unemployment benefits to $50K working for you, your job really only pays them $20K/year.

As an American who travels, it is incredibly embarrassing to be associated with people like this. All I can think of when I see someone in pajamas on a plane is "hellooo white trash".

> at some point you want to spend it

> the selling part is non-optional

That is not true.

Bitcoin is best thought of as a block of real-estate on a virtual Manhattan. Some of the wealthiest families in (IRL) Manhattan are wealthy because they've owned a block of land on Manhattan for generations and have never sold. They borrow against their asset to live and the asset keeps appreciating. Bitcoin will be, and already is, no different. There are people that do this exact thing with Bitcoin.
I'd think less about "I want to start a startup" and more "I have a product idea that I think I can build, people will want and I can charge for it" and go from there.

If you want to learn about startups, best is to go work for one.
I wasn't actually addressing whether tether does or does not under reserve assets. I'm not particularly familiar with tether in general and the article isn't the easiest to follow when it comes to where specifically the money is and how secure those investments are. It'd be a poor practice to have all their backing cash invested into GME, but it'd also be a poor practice to have their cash in actual bills somewhere. Ideally Tether can maintain an oversupply of asset value in various sources that are stable enough to justify less than the oversupply they have.

I'm on the deWalt 20/60 volt system, but everything you said applies to either, with trivial details as the difference.

When buying battery operated tools you need to decide in advance are you buying a single tool, or a battery system. If just a tool any mid-range drill/impact works (face it, that is what everyone is buying who isn't buying a system). If there is any chance you will buy any other tool it is either DeWalt flexvolt or Milwaukee m18 because both have a large catalog of tools that fit your one battery which is convenient because it means you will always have a battery charge to finish the task.

As a consultant I've been trying for years, with limited success, to persuade people to think in terms of business process integrity, since that more clearly ties the necessary work to the revenue output. It's an uphill slog though as prevailing culture is checklist compliance.

I disagree. There used to be a very distinctive British identity, mostly associated with English upper-class ideals. The lower classes were periodically coopted into this identity, either after the industrial revolution that triggered mass-education or during periodic conflicts, and their aspirations were then pushed outward to colonize “inferior” people. This is how the British empire was built, and it definitely was nationalistic in outlook.

Of course, the mechanism eventually broke, because of the slaughter of WW1 put the lie to the dream and the rise of continent-sized superpowers put it materially out of reach. Since then, coopting lower classes into upper-class ideals has been unfeasible. A replacement emerged in the heyday of socialist movements (everyone eating the same food, working in the same factories), but then died off, as that way of life also disappeared. What followed is not homogeneous, I agree on that, but I think you’re discounting the strength of what was there before.
