From my limited understanding, I think the general financial system with the banks lending large amounts of money and people accepting it because of very low interest rates contributes massively. There is a lot of extra cash floating around with unemployment checks, stimulus checks, tax credits, as well as easy credit, which means that mortgages increase, people's home value increases, they sell and push it up. Then people are spending more money on stocks, which means stock values go up, people believe they are richer because of the paper value of stocks, homes, etc. There has been a large amount of hype around all of these, eventually it comes crashing down and someone is left holding the bag with whatever position they were in.
The example of institutional failure and its effects I always come back to is autoworkers unions. An entire generation of millions of autoworkers have left Detroit (once the richest city in the world per capita) and become anti-establishment conservatives as a result of broken trust and mistreatment.

Why? Isn't this one of the very core responsibilities of a government? Otherwise what would be the point of having a government to begin with?

Which solutions do you have in mind? I mean, you mentioned QE and arguably QE has been going on for a decade or so.
I remember growing up looking at adults, parents, professional computer science people, politicians, etc. as people who were way more knowledgeable and experienced than I. Once I became an adult and worked jobs, I realized that everyone is really not that smart and are mostly just winging it.
Vista->7 was certainly a smaller change than XP->Vista but more than service pack level. For instance, one big one is that DWM in Vista keeps a copy of each window (at least old GDI windows, maybe not DirectX ones) in both CPU and GPU memory, which both consumes unnecessary space and generally slows rendering down. In Windows 7, they're only on the GPU.

It's a classic example of something changing significantly under the hood but not being very visually obvious.

That would mean you ultimately have to personally reproduce the results under controlled conditions before you can trust anything. This is just not realistically possible for anybody, so in reality you have to trust somebody.
In Canada, this is pretty normal. We don't request the check, we pay at the till on our way out. You get used to it, and learn to enjoy the peace & quiet. I'd rather pay a 20% increased base price and abolish tipping, personally.

And 5th, I have no idea how long sperm remains viable in the prostate, but I imagine that you would have to ultrasound your balls regularly or end up with live swimmers in a very unpredictable way.

I'd imagine you'd destroy them and maybe their precursors, then have protected sex for 2-3 times to get rid of the viable sperm and only after that end up with 1-2 weeks of infertility.
Futons work pretty well unless you need a 10/10ths bed or a 10/10ths couch. These roads are the same. They're fine until you load them with enough traffic to make all the intersections dangerous but not enough to slow them down.

There are plenty of 'shortcuts' in between reading all possible papers and picking at random who to trust. E.g. reading only Meta-Analyses of RCTs or reading some and picking your experts based on those who also agree with what youve confirmed or looking at past record etc.
> If that's your main example, you are in for a ride. Since asutton branch is over 15 years old almost at this point, and it was by design that no work should happen in LLVM until concepts make it into the standard.

Nice strawman, what does this have to do with anything that I wrote?

You went on and on about how there's heaps of "LLVM PhDs" (whatever that might mean) coming out of academia, so I gave you an example of someone working in academia who developed and contributed a key C++ feature to GCC.

> I can give you a dozen examples, from constexpr, metaclasses, coroutines, modules, etc. where things made it much earlier into LLVM than GCC.

That's not my experience, and I have been using GCC and Clang daily on modern C++ codebases targeting the latest standard for the last 10 years.

> From 2005 to 2014 GCC development severely stagnated, being much slower than clang, having horrible error messages when compared to clang, etc.

Yes, GCC's diagnostics have been trailing Clang's, though they have mostly caught up in the last few versions. But "much slower than clang" is flat out wrong, unless you mean compile-time performance. GCC has for years consistently produced more optimised code than Clang's, and it only in the last couple of years that the two compilers are essentially on performance parity.

> AMD, Intel, ARM, ... they all have proprietary toolchains built on LLVM, and send and merge multiple diffs to LLVM upstream, every day.

I seriously doubt that AMD/Intel/ARM engineers are doing substantial work on C++20 features, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong :)
This sounds highly location-dependent. I'm in rural America, and the poor here, with extremely rare exceptions, own cars. There are people living in dilapidated shacks with SUVs in the driveway.
`reset` won't work if you have used the escape sequence that disables raw mode, at which point the shell won't be able to process keyboard input anymore and you simply cannot issue commands. I'm not aware of any method for fixing this that doesn't involve restarting the terminal.

Posted January 6, 2017
We've been "giving" (I know, it's not technically that) billions to rich people for decades and it hasn't done anything to inflation. So it's reasonable to wonder if that still holds when everyone gets the cash.

My theory is that rich people save it, and poor people spend it; so here we are.
There is a big difference between thinking for ourselves and the sort of broad rejection of expertise we are seeing, especially in the US.

In a vacuum, yes. Skepticism isn't just healthy, it's what powers science itself.

However this isn't a vacuum and most people that "question the experts" aren't doing so in good-faith.

Your ability to question an existing theory is proportional to your understanding the problem space itself and knowledge of the existing facts. Basically in order to question an expert realistically you need to be an expert yourself. This shouldn't be controversial, but for some reason it is. :/
But that's not what it does. Try it.

No --porcelain option gives you the output in the format of the git status porcelain, either at the current version or at Git 1.x or whatever, i.e., "give me the porcelain" is the wrong reading of the option.

The correct reading is "I am implementing a porcelain myself, give me a format I can parse in order to do that."
Yes but anyone can develop a client, there is no permission needed
I don’t understand why you think your instincts would be just as valid an option? I mean if you’re accepting people can be wrong then assuming you’re more correct than large numbers of other people trying to find the truth seems obviously flawed.

Sure science is flawed, but we don’t have a better option to fall back to. Consider people strongly objected to seatbelts and we still need to promote their use. Trusting your instincts means wallowing in exactly that kind of ignorance.

Edited: before comments.
You don't have to be an expert to ask questions, and to learn the basics to be able to distinguish bs from actual expertise.

You don't have to be an expert in order to be able to look at the predictions of some experts and compare them with reality.

For example, I'm not an expert in psychology - but I know that psychologists have a huge problem reproducing their own studies.

That leads me to believe that I should basically ignore most trendy psychological studies while the news media is oohing and ahhing over them.

Economists aren't much better. They're never held to their predictions in a meaningful way. Otherwise, Krugman would have been booted a long time ago.

I'm providing context based on his previous crypto opinions. Strong feelings don't make good arguments, they do tend to give rise to fallacies. A scam is something where you are being maliciously tricked. Yet nobody is claiming NFTs give you any legal rights. It's a non sequitur.
I don't think there is a best strategy.

Equities do well in mildly inflationary environments, but when everyone is talking about inflation is when the Fed is most likely to make contractionary signaling, causing equities to drop.

I would focus on just investing in ETFs and not trying to time the market.
The supermarket is using its own sales data. Amazon is snooping on the sales data of third parties using their platform.
I decided to "pay off personal taxes"

>Here's where we get into the dicey business of what "personal worth" is, and how that translates to taxable income.

>Answer: It usually doesn't, because rich people are master frauds and charlatans who exploit loopholes in tax code to avoid paying their fair share.

>Jeff Bezos is worth $156 billion? You're using the top tax bracket of 37% and paying out $57.72 billion of that. You'd pay 99%, but then this would be a very short simulator.

That's not how it really works, right? He's supposed to pay tax on income not on wealth.

The reason nobody wants this is that is barely moves the needle. Apple is still the de-facto "gatekeeper" if they set the rules for running a third-party app store like app review and what specifically has to be reviewed (which they need if they don't want the 3p dumbing down the review process to something like just verifying the name matches the app functionality). I don't think many developers interested in a new app store would take it if Apple randomly blocking them for not having stringent-enough app review is a possibility.
Men also have a second option that preserves power and control: Just avoid penile-vaginal sex until pregnancy is desired. I.e., say "no".
Well, the idea is that you would have bought those some time ago when everyone was discussing whether or not inflation was a real risk, a transitory one or just a rumor. TIPS are better as a long-term inflation hedge, not a short-term one.

I suppose investment managers can employ a variety of other tactics to protect against US inflation, including FX, commodities, picking stocks with low exposure to inflation / proven ability to pass-through rising input costs to customers, alternative currencies like gold or BTC (though in that case you're really just trading inflation risk for other arguably less well understood risks) and more.
How should we counter coordinated unauthentic or disingenuous skepticism? I think everyone welcomes authentic concern, but what we're seeing with anti-vax/anti-mask/anti-science itself is something else completely.

No, I have not "seen" an atom. However, I have done experiments in a lab which have produced results which are consistent with atomic theory. There is no need to have faith in the cartoon model of an atom. All that matters is that the theory can be used to make predictions which can then be verified by experiment. The underlying "objective" nature of reality is immaterial.
You forget upper middle class saved a bunch of money during lockdown (no travel, no dining out, no commuter expenses etc), along with having IPOs or other investments increase in value.
Yes, it is a slightly different issue, I accept, although the brands copied by supermarkets often have the advantage of also being the manufacture.
Sure. And objectively the cops should keep arresting these people. Unfortunately people aren't robots, and morale is a thing.
There are multiple factors driving this. Yes QE and welfare checks are driving consumer spending, mainly on durable goods, but there are some compounding factors.

One is that commodity prices crashed last year in some important categories. As these prices recover that translates into a bump in inflation now. Energy prices are also shooting up. Another is that there's an ongoing supply crisis for key inputs. Microchips is an obvious one we read about constantly. I'm sure most of you have read about container ships queueing up at ports, so supply lines are choked at the moment. There's a lorry driver shortage here in Europe as well.

So commodity and energy prices up, wages are also up and there's a labour shortage, consumer spending up and supply down equals inflation.

Frankly having endured well over 5% inflation for almost the entire first half of my life I'm not panicking. A lot of these effects are short to medium term. The pandemic was always going to have economic repercussions and if it's just a year or two of inflation we will have to take the hit, cushioned by those welfare cheques and increased household savings through the pandemic. The pain was always going to come in one form or another.
Yes, this is about Visual Studio, but why the downvote?

VSCode is a browser, Visual Studio used to be a browser, and is now native, bravo Microsoft.
Big appreciation to the doctor doing this work. Though not sure where this becomes pedantry.

Sure, perhaps some people use it to manipulate and sound credible. I've personally never taken "dopamine hit" to be interpreted literally, it's kind of a figure of speech or catchphrase to point to the complex interactions of various chemicals and hormones the doctor is referring to.

For example he noted one group saying "dopamine squirt", I doubt they think the brain is literally "squirting" anything.
> the ops team flat-out told him no, if he needs to print env vars, he can do it in his own code

This is still the wrong attitude from a "productization" of infrastructure perspective. Configuring the environment a program runs in is a core responsibility of infrastructure. So is being able to query it. Build that infrastructure product feature.

The Paycheck Protection Program handed nearly every business in American hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars in loans (at 0.50% APR), then immediately forgave them.

The $1200 checks are nothing by comparison. Everyone American got a month rent paid for by the government, but the privileged "business owners" got and entire house paid for, with enough left over to buy their entire family new cars.
It's a reminder of how liberating it can be to have modular tools.

Prosthetics are a bad fit for our current industry as they need to be customized for each wearer.

Lego is quite intuitive to understand, most wearer could adjust their prosthetics themselves, or make extensions.

I wish we had more "legos but for real projects". Is it LEGO technic? Aluminium profiles come close, but the ecosystem is jus way smaller, and not really compatible between brands. OpensourceEcology (https://www.opensourceecology.org/) has been making interesting progress in that direction, but I don't know what scale they embrace modularity at.

Oh look, american whataboutism. How the tables have turned. If you cant tell what japan has been going through since the 90s then you should probably read a bit more before commenting on hm. The US (i cant talk for the whole of America) is indeed different from Japan. I am not sure a certain population category will endure stagnation for a long time, and the standard of living is already well below that of Japanese counterparts. I mean the us already had a failed coup, and i cant even begin to think what the future will look like if it ends up like japan in terms of growth. Which is not bad but as you pointed out the us is different but not in a good sense. Regarding european countries…yeah whataboutism wont help you.
"Horrific" is massive hyperbole, at least for my use case. (I actually use a GCP preemptible instance in this manner for a personal project, and spot instances will have the same shutoff risk.)

I edit application code on my (relatively underpowered) laptop, and automatically mirror it to the instance where the running services picks up any changes, and recompiles and relaunches as needed. It's a fairly chunky app code-wise so moving the CPU usage off of my laptop is very helpful.

When and if the instance shuts off early, I just relaunch it and reconnect. This amounts to one click of the mouse in the GCP UI, one locally run terminal command to connect, and one remote terminal command to (re)start my app. No work lost, and the cost savings are worth the minor inconvenience. Usually the instances last the full 24 hours anyway, and I usually shut it down when I'm done working, so interruptions are very rare.

I can understand that in the context of a larger company with more resources, a dev would be put off by this. But it works very well for my uses.
We have to train people to have critical thinking skills in school so that they can tell the difference between truth and lies when they see them out in the wild. Of course, the government will have to stop making stuff up, but that's a small price to pay for insulating society against other forces who are way better at making propaganda than our government / our "institutions."
>So please, let’s start talking about people, rather than irrelevant neurochemicals.

Strange way to conclude an article that has quite successfully argued the relevance of dopamine in addiction. It's good to point out how reductive the dopamine narrative is, but overly reductive is not the same as completely false.

I also disagree with the idea that pinpointing a neurological mechanism for a problem amounts to externalizing the problem. Maybe because the author is a psychologist, and not a neurologist, that they cling to this mind/body divide...
This makes me wonder what use "Launched Windows Vista" would be as a line item on a resume.
It's an interesting question. If those "large numbers of other people" were also following their own intuitions, you would have a strong point. However, if that large number of others was simply exhibiting groupthink, it significantly weakens your counterargument.
One of the salient points Apple makes in the document is that by the mere ability for sideloading to be possible, it would be forced upon users by schools and jobs. It also opens an entirely new attack vector by spoofing and other means of deceiving the user into either sideloading an app they didn't mean to.
