Price decreases in a specific area due to productivity gains or advancing technology are an entirely different thing from systemic, economy-wide deflation.

The last round of significant deflation we had was during the Great Recession of 2008-2009. The last round of serious deflation we had was the Great Depression.

Those weren't fun times to live in. Few personal economic events are more catastrophic than getting stuck with an underwater mortgage (it's probably worse than anything beyond major uninsured medical bills).

Few large-scale phenomena are uglier than farmers dumping produce (because prices have collapsed to the point that it's no longer is worth the cost of shipping) while, at the same time, people are going hungry.

While it's true that people worked less during those deflationary periods, they didn't actually find it quite as enjoyable as you seem to think it is.
I see, that makes more sense.
What’s wrong with a simple loop (like the one near the top)? Why does it have to branchless? Wouldn’t the IO take longer than missed branches/pipeline flushes?

Not to mention that the fixed version now has branches as well…
1999 to me was almost yesterday.
The top two might be good examples, but the YouTube link says the kid was punching a teacher, which is a good example of what I meant by punting that to someone with better legal resources than me (if I am a worker at the school).
Since I was a teenager, several decades ago, I've been deeply steeped in his music and life (read his autobiography so many years ago). But I had a huge revelation only recently, thanks to YouTube clips:

Miles was an extremely gracious person.

His on-stage and off-stage persona are so gruff... to the point, tell it like it is, take no shit, accept only the best work from people around you. But in interview after interview, he deflects personal credit and always (always!) raises up the young musicians around him. I never realized that selflessness.
Gen X here. I started riding my bike in my neighborhood as soon as my next door neighbor took off the training wheels. It was a small neighborhood with clear boundaries.

But as soon as I was 10 and 11 I was leaving to visit friends. I was thinking back recently to one forgotten friend who lived about 1.5 miles away and the pathway I would have taken to his house. It involved crossing two 6-lane divided highways and another Avenue.

I was safe and patient. But I would be aghast to see it in action today.

When I was 13 and 14 we would take "tours" of the city. Even on foot, I would meet friends and we would start early and walk as far as we could. Then take the bus or call our parents. I love those memories. So much.

I loved the city for its shape before I was an adult. And that freedom and those memories have filled me my entire life. And when I started driving I knew how to get to all of the places.

Before she died my mother would always tell me "the kids don't play the way you guys used to". We really tore it up.
root & IAM login page UX is horrendous. e.g. it doesn't remember your browser (prompting MFA every time), no control for login TTL, too easy to lock yourself out, MFA out of sync
The perfect article for this 80s kid to rant about good old times.

My dad gave me a tiny bicycle at the age of 6, and basically said "good luck". I could go anywhere I want for as long as I'm back home in time for dinner. They had no idea where I was, with whom, or what I was doing.

One day, an older kid hit me in the playground. I came home crying, assuming I'd get some support. I was told to just hit him back, preferably harder. I explained that the kid was much older and far bigger. "Get a piece of wood then".

Standard equipment for every kid everywhere were thick knee pads, as mothers grew tired of fixing bloody knees and probably more important: the jeans. On any day, we'd come home looking like pigs, and almost always with fresh wounds.

Throughout this entire period, outside of formal family moments, not a single photo, audio or video recording exists of me.

Not only was it a fantastic childhood, it has helped me become a robust character. I can handle setbacks with ease and instead of complaining, solve things myself.

By today's standards, it would be neglectful or even child abuse. It wasn't. It was paradise.

Child abuse is imprisoning your own child. Not only obsessing over their security, also micro managing their day as if production units.

As for children "performing", my deal was pretty simple and enjoyable. "Come home with good grades or there will be hell". Zero oversight, only the outcome counts.

A fair deal if you ask me. No daily nagging about doing homework, none at all. They couldn't care less. I was fully free to deliver the desired outcome in any way I see fit. Maximum freedom, whilst also instilling responsibility from the start.

To sum this up, the lack of parenting has helped me tremendously.
There are literally 10s of thousands of little things like this in your life. Most of them you will not be aware of. Some of them require huge amounts of effort to figure out.

On top of that what you're saying isn't true for huge swathes of the population. They can't afford to eat ethically raised meat, they can't afford to not eat meat protein, and even if there is some (probably imaginary) way for them to do that, it requires a disproportionate amount of effort for them to do so.

Most people will think chicken is just chicken. They may be peripherally aware that there's some sort of intensive farming going on, but not really what that entails, or how horrific it is.

And so some governments around the world have stepped in and stopped those practices.

But not the US. Hence the trade arguments you may have heard about chlorinated chicken. It's not the chlorination that's the problem, it's WHY they need to be chlorinated. Because you need to do that to chicken to make it safe to eat if you grow them in those sort of horrific conditions.

So next time you think about blaming the consumer, stop and think. You've been dead wrong once. Government intervention works.

Are you wrong again?

>75 mA across the heart might be fatal.

An AC motor capacitor would probably just give you a short shock since it's only used to introduce a phase shift on the auxiliary phase in single phase AC motors (what the OP is talking about) or for power factor correction in 2/3 phase AC motors. AC switches every 20 ms from positive to negative so the cap only stores very little power. I'd be more weary of capacitors in DC circuits.
I'd ban all ads that were intrusive, so that advertising was only allowed if you had to go looking for it, rather than having it come looking for you. With a bit of an allowance for stuff like sandwich boards directly in front of shops or "so-and-so's bed+breakfast 3 miles ->" kinds of signs.
We need to create a system that makes the wrong people do the right thing.

Or even better, a system that makes the "wrong" thing right (e.g. lab-grown meat).
Some UX concepts are like this. Surely I’m not the only one who arrives at a problem I can’t describe to google in a way that returns meaningful results?

As the author later pointed out: it's not a new idea, FreeBSD has been doing it for decades. Nevertheless, I agree it deserves broader uses.

"Unnecessarily political" is a nice abbreviation of "his politics are hurtful, hateful, and part objectively wrong".
I don’t mind ads I mind Facebook showing ads because they know what I had for breakfast and I can’t even remember it myself.

Oculus showing ads for monetization is fine. I suspect they’ll somehow try to tap into Facebook data to target these ads though.
I get my meat/eggs as a monthly farm share. The animals are treated humanely. One can visit the farm if they so desire, to see the conditions.

The downside? It's expensive. Most people, even those who care in principal, don't care enough to pay 2x, 3x, or more than the grocery store prices.
I mean that the musical language of BB (perfect example) won't be familiar to people today (same as it was unfamiliar back then).

By contrast, any of his quintet performances is easily recognized as "jazz", even to people who don't listen to jazz.

BB will be more like "what am I listening to??"

Do you disagree?
>I think it's slightly more complicated than that. The history of domestication is one of long-term relationships: we have historically bred animals not only to produce food, but also to serve roles (foodwaste removal, fertilizing, haulage) that aren't necessarily best served by rapid growth.

What can you do with a pig other than eating it? As for chickens/cows, I'm fairly certain that the males are basically only useful for meat.
seems that most comments here missed the end of the article , where he points to the "production ready" version of the solution, that is indeed very close to the original one, including a while loop.
The irony is that a single log computation is going to take longer than the loop. (No idea if implementing a log approximation involves loops either.)
I find the author slightly annoying insofar as they think you can study markets scientifically and thus applying astrology to market behavior is idiotic. For all we know Elon times his tweets to key horoscope events and the market actually does invert every time mercury is in retrograde (which the data/history seem to support). If we were talking about trying build a bridge or something I’d be a lot more receptive to the idea that anything other than a rational approach is “stupid”.
I think you mean this article on “Yingzi”: http://www.zompist.com/yingzi/yingzi.htm
This is true. Matrix was a direct reaction to our experiences having just implemented RCS 5.1.
Agreed. Google Cloud seems to do a better job of this, you can simply pick how many CPUs your VM will have.

For me personally, it's the jump from c5d.4xlarge (16 core) to c5d.9xlarge (36 core) that's a bit hard to work around, but there are surely others.
This is why it's a good idea to have a real integer type.
I get that this is probably mostly sarcastic humour, and
I'm not trying to dispute the kernel of truth. No serious person loses sleep over our mass murder of malaria-carrying mosquitoes.

But there is a line _somewhere_ on the natural spectrum of life forms, from microorganisms, to plants, to bugs and vermin, to dogs, pigs, primates, and humans, where our attitude about loss of life and/or a miserable life changes. Where are you suggesting we put that line?

Some, knew one in college paying the 40k/yr tuition selling overpriced molly/weed/coke to the students. Good racket lol.

He got his degree and then went into some marketing and sales gig for a decade is doing quite well and I believe continues to sell on the side to trusted clients so not a street dealer (saw him last year at a buddies wedding).
>The supposed problem with deflation is that economic activity slows down and enough stuff won't be produced. But we're presently drowning in stuff!

The entire point behind deflation is getting rid of that surplus. It's about trimming everything except basic cost of living. If you are a company and your profit is going down every year you are going to cut production. Cutting production also means cutting jobs. It's that simple.

The savings utopia also doesn't exist because the 0% lower bound for interest rates prevents money creation to catch up with savings. If everyone saves there literally won't be any money left to save.

Deflation is an economic dead end. People believe that money is infallible and the perfect risk free asset, especially if it's value is going up via deflation. The risk free assumption is just an approximation given a properly functioning economy and deflation doesn't reward a properly functioning economy.
> As best I can tell that pretty much means the Netherlands, parts of Denmark, or perhaps Japan (more for transit than cycling).

Or old pre-car cities in the US.

The point of those is that they have dense interconnection that predates cars. In addition, building roads cost too much in terms of eminent domain, so they don't have very many high-speed roads interfering.
> Sebastian then reached out to me to straighten it out, which I did: I had not yet started at Oracle when that commit was merged, and I did not contribute that patch. Jokes on Oracle. Shortly after, an issue was filed and the code was removed.

Good thing it wasn't a range check function. I hear those are expensive.
Meh... what you're describing is rarely where the actual conflict is. What about situations where it does affect other people (and unfortunately those situations tend to be ones where merely articulating your concerns is enough to earn you all sorts of labels and hate)?
Something about this comes off as amateurish. The obsession with minimization. Just use a switch statement. Now where is the bug going to hide? The solution doesn't need to generalize, there is only a small handful of different solutions. Just break them all out. It's more maintainable and readable and requires less thinking.
PIA is owned by the person who owns Freenode, afaik. I would certainly look into that before trusting them.
Supergiant’s most recent game Hades doesn’t have as much of a narrator as Bastion, but it does have one, and they do clever things like having the narrator accidentally tell the main character secrets (because the main character can hear the narration).
the original version had branches too, in fact a majority of the lines had them! ? is just shorthand for if.

It is plausible that some of these new accounts were made in response to this post, but I don't think its fair to blame the project's developers for it as it isn't necessarily in their control. It seems like they are seeking feedback from the community and there doesn't seem to be a commercial plug here.
Totally agree. I came off the reading wondering how young the author is. The essay is quite immature.
I'm not seeing USB-A ports going away any time soon.

It's just the better port format for a lot of things that need sturdy, large, cheap plugs.
Yup! My family owns a restaurant, and I can confirm this is true in my area (northeast US). My sister worked as a server for a summer (2017, or thereabouts), and averaged about $46 an hour. Not to put too fine a point on it, but it helped that she was young, attractive, and witty. When I served, I made about $30 per hour (not-unattractive male). Sex sells, as she used to quip- it's true, there's also a gender-based component to it.

Anyway, most of that in principle was cash tips. She was young enough where she was getting all of her tax back anyway, but I do know many people who underreport the tips they receive.
I don't get the downvotes.
I have observed that mainstream pundits such as on TV and in print give worse advice compared to advice on Reddit, blogs,and other non-mainstream sources. James Cramer, whose only usefulness is he draws huge ratings, has been costing his viewers millions over the past 15 years with terrible stock picks. Wall Street Bets got in early on Gsmestop, Palintir, Tsla, Amc, AMD and others, while the likes of Peter Schiff have been saying to buy gold forever which has lagged stocks.
I can get liquidity out of my 401k trivially by borrowing against it. A home equity loan takes a bit more time but it's also simple to do. If you're lower middle class you most likely don't have any money in your savings account at all[1], but you do have debt which gets diluted by inflation.

Also, to your earlier point:

> Poor people don't have standing debts but rather revolving ones, and so their debt scales with inflation.

So at worst that's a wash.

Hey great! Then you should be allowed to get one to avoid those tests and the rest of us that doesn't want one should get subjected to the tests. I'm ok with that!
As someone who authors another shells (coincidentally similar to nushell) I can tell you that you'd be surprised at some of the bug reports you get.

This doesn't tell you how big VR might have been if Oculus remained independent, or tied to a less controversial parent company and profit model.
My point is not that I don't believe in astrology.
I don't believe in astros.
The author's point seems to be that applying astrology to any decisions (not markets in particular) is stupid, speculating on crypto is stupid, and combining the two will give you an audience of especially stupid people who are willing to part with their money.

1) Private schools can be expensive, and a few have participation requirements for parents that folks working non-traditional hours can't adhere to.

2) Every private school I lived around growing up was religious, and I'd rather children not have religion forced on them.
Racism against whites in the United States is much more serious than against minorities simply because there are so many more whites who are affected by it. Blacks are about 11% of the population, for example, while whites make up over half. Anti-white attitudes will not be tolerated.

Where in the world did you pull this out from?
Consumers have driven the market into a race to the bottom. There is effectively no way for the consumer to really know about the comparative difference in living conditions between two packs of meat. There is really no way at all to know the provenance of chicken from a restaurant. Expecting consumers to either do this research or not eat chicken at all is completely unrealistic. If we want to fix this problem it will have to be through regulation. A start would be nasty labeling on unethically generated foods, like the surgeon general’s warning on cigarettes.
I must admit I smiled at seeing that I edited the question, back in the day. :) Can't say I remember the question, and didn't know it has that epic feature of being the most-copied. Cool!

That's where we are going with Capitalism. In 500 years when we had improved robotics to the point of being able to do most of human work (excepting maybe knowledge work), it will be cheaper to buy a robot than to hire a human.

With more than 20 billion people at that time (the USA could have 850 million ppl), the only way for people to survive will be through hyper-efficient production processes and equalitarian distribution policies.
Do you think a manual audit of 100k lines of code will uncover multi-threading or memory issues or any other security issue?

Experience has shown that for c code for the first two, no it won't. And for any language code, manual audits won't find issues in the last category either. It may help, but it won't excise them all (or even close to all). To get them out, you need real world testing. The system that sees more real world usage, probably gets more testing. Any security analysis would want to take this into account also.

My earlier point about "what do you want to get out of your systems" is that you alluded to the reliability of debian being desirable. Distro maintainers by and large switched to systemd since it saved them a ton of work. They could then spend that extra time on the rest of the activities of being a distribution. So debian could focus on being more debian-like instead of debian-like + maintaining a creaky init system. So if what you want is debian, and you see very few distros like it that also don't have systemd, think about why and if what you're asking is detrimental to the other goal of what you want.

FWIW, I've maintained embedded linux distros at a couple companies, at my most previous employer we used systemd, the current one we don't. It isn't the right choice in all scenarios, but it is a lot of the time.
This isn't true, this form of conditionals can be compiled into cmov type of instructions, which is faster than regular jump if condition.
I think that the way these instances are classified is based on the bare metal they run on. So for instance an r4.xlarge is a single VM in an r4.metal server acting as a host.

So only r4 virtual instances (r4.xlarge, r4.2xlarge, etc...) divide up nicely on these r4.metal hosts. (RAM, CPU, Instance Stores, etc...)

If they made fully customizable instances then they could be using 100% of the host machine's RAM, CPU or whatever but only a fraction of the other factors. This causes a metal instance to be occupied entirely by a single VM which would make it cost a TON!

So in order to make customizable instances they would have to make a ton of differently shaped metal instances to match all the possible types of custom instances and make a best fit. In the end they end up with what they have now anyways.

What would be cool is if Amazon would let you order custom hardware for bare metal to go in their racks. They acquire and set up the server and load their host image. (Sort of an EC2 Colocation service.) Then let you divide it up as you see fit into virtual machines. Sort of a (Build your own instance class) thing.
The chickens kept in a factory farm are different from what most people keep at home.
The notion that Chinese characters describe ideas that are formed from smaller characters that also describe ideas is a nice story, but it's not really the case for the majority of Chinese characters. See the Wikipedia page, Principles of formation section[0].

Many Chinese characters are constructed with two parts of smaller characters, one of which can indicate a general concept while the other provides a vague pronunciation hint. This isn't really good enough to provide you with enough information to guess at either the meaning or the pronunciation if you don't already know the word, but if you do already know the word from spoken language, then the hints might be enough to recognize the character when you read it too.

The rates don't depend on a single thing. They depend on literally everything. I said the market "dictates" the rates to the fed, not that it sets them. The markets are just an information conveyance mechanism.

Also again, we can very clearly empirically say that there is not a 0% floor on rates.
I don't think its a good idea on take on Vault's complexity. One of the value props i see here is the simplicity of using 'garnet run <scope> -- <executable>' which is something you don't get in Vault unless you write a wrapper (although envconsul provides a similar abstraction: https://github.com/hashicorp/envconsul).
