This is the optimistic view, meaning that once those countries that have a large number of competitive middle-class strivers have caught up, the pressure will subside, and some things will come back.

There is another angle to this, which is that China won't have to fight the red tape, regulation, NIMBYism, being stuck in local maxima and the general lack of vision, optimistic outlook on the future and belief in the system working that has befallen western countries. All we do is to pump ever more money into the markets and go deeper into debt. At one point, this will stop working. Some say this is already happening: is inflation real, or not?
"Outsized" is a mild description of paying out US$28M instead of $700.

However, the payments were made within BlockFi's internal system, not on the ledger, so they're reversible, unless you were fast enough to immediately move your booty off the platform. At least one person made off with 5 BTC (~$200k) and is currently being barraged with legal threats.

Singapore had an outbreak originating with a fully vaccinated (2 doses) nurse.

Your examples are extreme but I’m not sure how to get people to act sanely. Restrictions are eased in Sydney and everyone just stopped doing anything even in crowded spaces. And we had a case that was traced to a person in quarantine, but we can’t find all the links back to the source.

I do wear a mask at all times when in public, but come on, I'm not going to the forest to walk my dogs with my mask on.

People got too comfortable with not doing any thinking on their own, instead went fully autopilot based on news and government.
>And multiple times a day you see people driving alone in cars wearing masks.

I don't live in SF but I drive alone with a mask (and I'm fully vaccinated!). I generally put it on before leaving the house and keep it on until I get home so I don't risk contaminating the inside when taking it off, putting it back on, taking it off, putting it back on, etc. It's just a zero-effort bonus to mask efficacy and extra peace of mind, IMO.
I had people on here saying some pretty nasty things to me for suggesting that while social distancing is good, having a mask on when outside and more than 6 ft apart is unnecessary.

I wonder if they realize how they're proving all the "virtue signaling" critics right.
I’m not sure why you cite consistent mask usage as the primary reason.

What I imagine to be a more likely cause is that there is a large proportion of SF’s population (esp compared to other cities) that are professionals who have the privilege to be able to work from home without worrying about losing their jobs. Couple that with vast grocery and food delivery services. So staying home is more convenient than most places
I live in San Francisco. I look at pictures of (maskless) people on billboards and have to stop myself from judging them.
"In the world of phenomena, perception is everything." - some philosopher (cannot google who)
It works because it's easy to understand. Simple rules for a complex world.

If the rule is "don't do it", you know whether or not you're supposed to do it in any given case. That's not true if the rule is "be reasonable". If the first beer was reasonable, so is the second. One additional beer never really changes how reasonable your total consumption has been, even though the total range of reasonability is quite wide.

We are researching the amount of minutes across open source contributions to make sure that we do not impact open source contributions in any way!

You recognise this and you didn't implement processes to catch problems after the first mistake (obviously, because there was a second mistake). If there's a third mistake I think you're going to have to accept it was partly your fault.

There's apparently a whole field about this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-instruction_set_computer

(I don't know what's known about how to tell whether or not a particular instruction will be Turing complete. Maybe, as in many other parts of computer science, you can do it by reductions: FOO is Turing complete if you can implement BAR with it, where BAR is already known to be Turing complete; BAZ is not Turing complete if you can implement it with QUX, where QUX is already known not to be Turing complete?)

To be clear when I wrote about my preferences above it was from a perspective of what I'd like to have and to use myself. I absolutely agree with you that many of these are great for educational purposes, so I absolutely think it's great some people are doing these too. That said, for that purpose I'd have stuck with something a more direct analog to one of the existing 8-bit machines myself. But it's not my projects so he is of course entirely free to make it however he prefers.
From a typographic standpoint, the en-dash isn’t even the right one to use. :) It’s supposed to be a connective of sorts, for ranges or directions.

I'm working on https://github.com/imvetri/ui-editor and its called ui-editor. It started out as an experiment to try building an in-browser reactJS code renderer and later I improved it so that it can generate reactJS code along with it. Now I'm trying to build few tools within it that will help me to design components and generate the code for it.

It is my hobby project, whenever I learn some interesting implementation techniques used in other projects I use it in my tool. There are no users for my tool so there is not much maintenance work going on. I usually try to implement ideas that I get and make it as part of the tool's features.

For every idea I start with pen and paper and then into implementation of it. I'll make sure I wouldn't bring in complications so I'll take few weeks for the idea and technique to implement to be strong. Whenever I get free time during my office hours like release is over, or I'm on a leave or I'm blocked I'll make tiny changes. Whenever I get a long break from office like long weekends, I'll spend a productive time with it.

Usually I take breaks and do not try to implement that is hard for head. If something feels smooth, I'll jump in to implement it.

I like that GADTs are a good example of "lightweight dependent types". You don't need to use full-blown dependent types to achieve the following:

- type-safe AST representations of a language

- type-safe encoding of lambda calculus and an eval function that will only accept _closed terms_ (i.e. no free variables!)

In Coq, everything is defined in the GADT style and with dependent types you have an explosion of possibilities:

- length-indexed vectors

- dependently-typed red-black trees

- inductive proofs!

just to name a few.
Wow! Could it conceivably re-derive them "experimentally" with nested loops or something?

Heh, it helps if you're cynical by nature. From the very beginning I always sort of "known" that social media gave a very idealized view of people's lives.

I remember once, I was sat outside at a burger joint watching a lady take literally 5 whole minutes taking pictures of her food at a specific table, while another gentleman (who was NOT with her) patiently stood waiting with a plate of his own food in his hands.

Turns out the light hit that specific table so perfectly that these people were ok with letting their food get cold to get the perfect shot before they ate it.

Of course, they could have been food writers but I've seen this type of scenario play out often enough that I tend to look at a lot of social media as a parody of real life.
> your SQL engine like Vitesse does but don't require so much attention to sharding

You always need a lot of attention to sharding otherwise you'll have poor performance.
It’s unclear that this is happening. There is a good argument that what we are seeing is basis effect + pent up demand and has literally nothing to do with monetary policy. This is why the consensus for now is that current inflation is transitory.
I honestly think it's amazing and I'm sure the novelty would wear off, but it would still be useful. One of the things that stood in the way of 3D viewing was dedicated hardware, which is the same issue here. Although the need to wear glasses is gone, you still need to buy some serious equipment for it. Maybe at some point this will be bundled into a normal TV setup and people will just take it for granted that it's there
Its your opinion. As for me Android has a visual consistency which is not matched by iOS. As is said before iOS is dated. Though it has been dated fore few years. I still remember when i first got the iPad and saw the UI. I was like maybe i am on a older version. Nope latest version. Material design has been improving, need to see if this re-design is better than before.
Sweden (Town in Maine, US)
As a follow up to your edit: I think we agree on what market rate is, but what market rate actually is for tech is subject to a wide variety of answers. So that may be where the discrepancy comes from.

that and the article in question giving questionable numbers like:

>50-70k is a junior’s salary. Your people with 10 years of experience with C++ or whatever should be paid closer to 300k

50-70K out of school is normal in the US, but not necessarily all of US (70K in expensive areas like San Fransisco would be low balling, even as a new grad). 300K, even after 10 years, is not normal, not unless you started at a top company and/or have been aggressively chasing pay raises, internally or through job hopping.

BUT, while abnormal it's also not a surprising number to hear either. It depends on so many factors.
For MSBuild, one can use what IDE does to get the compile targets:

msbuild YourProject.sln /p:Configuration=Release /p:DesignTimeBuild=true /t:_PrintIntellisenseInfo

The _PrintIntellisenseInfo target is the key, and "lying" to the rules that you are the IDE - e.g DesignTimeBuild=true.

This prints almost the info you want for compilation_database.json
I would also be curious why?

As much as I like Notion it has _a lot_ of work to do tbefore anyone can call it "perfect".

It shows he actually cares about other people, rather than doing what is socially acceptable/beneficial to himself.

Of course there is risk, but they are not as great of a deal as you think it is. I am talking about transactions that deal with stable coins only, one of them is backed by a credible institution (Circle) and I am talking about a smart contract (Curve) that is being used already for over an year and is holding billions of dollars already.

Smart contracts are somewhat Lindy: the longer they are in place, the more of an indication they are secure. I wouldn't recommend putting your money on any new contract, but Curve is around for long enough that I don't believe that it will get hacked in the next years. Sure, it is not as "secure" as a FDIC-insured savings account, but it is not degen-type of investment either.

Software engineers did ten years ago. That you think the proper reference class for SEs is higher professionals, not the general population, or even engineers generally speaks volumes about how things have changed in the past decade or so. There are lots of actual engineers being outearned by boot camp grads with two years experience. That’s nuts, and it’s quite new.

Incels kill fewer people each year than lightning strikes, bees, or trampolines. I'm sure law enforcement agencies are bored and concerned about having their funding cut given the collapse of ISIL, but putting funding into better mental health care instead would probably be the best way to deal with this societal issue. That would at least have the positive side effect of reducing suicide rates, which are 3-4 orders of magnitude higher than incel killings.

I don't think virtue signalling explains the phenomenon fully. There seems to be another large group: people who are just over-cautious and not willing to take any amount of risk.

I have several friends/family members who struggle with anxiety and COVID has been overwhelming for them. One of them (fully vaccinated) said they know the chance of infection after vaccination is less than 0.1%, but it's not a risk they're willing to take. I know their viewpoint isn't rational, but I empathize with it much more than the virtue signalers.
Not trying to sound rude, but this looks like it was generated by GPT3. What do you mean?
Hardware build has different problems to solve compared to software build. In particular you often want to build with multiple different tools (e.g. A simulator, a synthesis tool, a formal tool and a linter) and each tool requires its own mix of files and settings with some commonality between them. You may also want different 'levels' of build from a full chip down to the block level.

Often this is handled with some home grown makefile solution or perl or python. I find FuseSoC, with the Edalize backend (which knows all the details of how a particular tool is run) a good improvement on this.
That's a very simplistic way of putting it.
RSUs aren't part of the paycheck.
Asset prices as they impact real people are reflected in CPI, which shows low inflation. The fact that cash flow instruments are higher priced (and that’s largely because of low interest rather than QE) is kind of orthogonal to most people’s lives.
What I see is a system designed specifically to be tinkered with and learned from. You have large, simple components, lots of expansion possibilities, fixed up BASIC, etc.

I learned on computers such as these and it was a GREAT help in understanding how they actually accomplish basic things like talking to devices, handling memory, dealing with problems, communicating with other computers, etc. This brings back that magic while also removing some of the more unsightly warts of the original systems, and also interfaces easily with many conveniences of the modern era. For $100 that's a great toy to learn on.
> but now that the pandemic is getting under control it makes sense to weigh mental health more heavily.

I don't quite understand where is the link between wearing masks and mental health? I lived many years in Singapore, Tokyo, Bangkok, have a Japanese wife and in many of these places wearing a mask is just a sign of being considerate towards others. Coming from the country myself it looks maybe odd at first but this makes sense in dense urban places where you need some rules for how to share this public space.
If you abstain from alcohol you can always have a soda in hand and usually still stay socially connected with most if not all friends and family.

If you abstain from meat, vegan options are seemingly everywhere now and everyone can sit at the same table.

If you choose abstain from addictive profit motivated proprietary software, good luck keeping any connection with friends and family. You just stop existing in their universes, and they can't be bothered to try a different communication tool to respect your preference to not have your data exploited to manipulate and addict you.

Ask me how I know.
Opinions about masks are like assholes. Everybody has one. How do I know? Because they _will_ tell you what they think about it, whoever it is.

There is no safe space on any social media that when the pandemic is mentioned in any way, the discussion devolves into whether masks help or not.

I've heard so much mask discussion since the beginning of the pandemic it's much easier for me to tell someone to wear one and just, pardon the French, STFU about it.
>Where by constrained you mean it's a crime, right?

Not in the way you mean it, no. Otherwise industrial-scale bitcoin miners, situated near power plants, wouldn't be able to operate in the open at all, yet they do. Without making any moral judgement one way or the other, China works differently than is generally understood by the West.

//

I don't want to downplay criminal use of crypto- its use in cryptolocker-type malware is a real problem, for example.

I do think it is important to recognise that criminals already use existing monetary systems quite well, and that fully-public blockchains have an audit trail that investigators could only dream of compared to plain cash.
It's not even remotely a tricky problem.

It's just a trick, of convincing ourselves it's not our problem when we are the cause.
Wearing a mask has become another way to identify yourself as the “in group”. Health benefits are a far second to the signaling that you “follow the science” and “are willing to sacrifice for the greater good” - your one of the good people.

My buddy told me his Bay Area company did a story about “the story behind people’s masks”. They literally interviewed people and asked them to share “what their mask represents”.

It’s really bizarre how much people’s egos and identity are wrapped up in it now.

(And that applies to people willing to make a public stand against masks as well - it’s become a core part of who they are).
That's just reminded me that phone booths were usually filled with advertisements for "escort services". I'm sure it wouldn't take long for this to come back in this brave new world

Holmes had an entrepreneurial spirit. Based on his former medical education and his connections, he was able to sell skeletons to medical labs and schools. "He, and sometimes a hired assistant, were accused of stripping the flesh off the bodies, dissecting them, and preparing the viable skeletons. The rest of the remains would be tossed in pits of lime or acid, effectively breaking down the remaining evidence."
