My guess would be because it is a price that is easy to know, and one that would push shoppers away. I know that a gallon of milk is 4.99 at most grocery stores(where I live in Canada). I don't know off the top of my head the exact price for any of the other things I regularly buy. If I saw a gallon of milk for 5.99 I would assume that I was shopping for groceries at a place that has generally higher prices for all foods. I doubt this is a rational signal, but it is the way that my brain works.
It isn't the water molecules passing through the mask from your mouth. Your body is warmer than the air around you most of the year (unless you live in the tropics). It is mostly the heat of your breath passing through the mask, then hitting the cooler surface of the glasses, and making the moisture in the air that is already outside your mask condense on the glasses.

It feels like this is at least one destination under harm prevention rhetoric. I'm all for holding mobs accountable, but I don't think this is the thing. If you are on social media doing bullying or participating in mobs while calling it activism, what you need isn't jail time it's help. I suspect a lot of these folks are just lonely.
It doesn't predict the future, it's based on the current rate of inflation. We're already experiencing it.

> IP blocks (I'm thinking geo-blocks[0] for sites like Netflix) are sometimes necessary for the site to at least attempt to stay in contractual compliance with the content owners.

The entire thing is a farce. There has never been any way to know where an endpoint device is

And VPNs are often necessary to prevent the service from detecting it wrong.

Suppose I'm currently near an international border and my phone picks up a tower on the other side of the border. Now the IP address my phone gets is listed as being in the wrong country.

A lot of companies route all their traffic through a head office somewhere so they can inspect the traffic in a central location. It's not always in the same country where the users are.

Suppose I'm using a VPN for privacy reasons, not to bypass geographic restrictions, but I want it to be in a different country to maximize the inconvenience to anyone trying to violate my privacy, so now the country listed is the wrong one. I would have to use another VPN to get it back to being where I actually am.

The obvious solution to all of this is to forget about trying to tie locations to IP addresses, since that has never worked, and just ask the user's device what country it's in. The user can set it to a different one but that's no different than the status quo.

Yeah but there is native and native. Both Windows and MacOS carry widgets and styles from so many releases, and there is some intelligence involved in picking up the "expected" one with the right style etc. WxWidgets seems to make the wrong choice very often, with the result that the apps look very dated. It's probably possible to make it do the right thing, but other toolkits just do that by default.
If there is a lot of mess, in most cases, the organisation is dysfunctional. It may have histories of some futile attempts by proactive senior engineers to improve the situation in past. They were either ignored or faced resistance, and eventually they gave up and moved.

On the other hand, it is a good chance for a new senior engineer to show their leadership abilities, if an organisation recognises the mess and is serious about dealing with it. You will definitely learn about it in the interview and see the management encouraging relevant activities.
If that were the only factor, sure. But there's also drought, heat stress, invasive insects migrating to higher latitudes, and topsoil loss. Forests in the western US, for example, are not benefiting from climate change.

> I really wish a good, well-maintained, modern (as in, actually break stupid compatibility, just fuck it. It's 2021 for God sakes) C++ existed.

As a C++ programmer I would say this language is Ada 2012 (see https://pyjarrett.github.io/programming-with-ada/four-months...). It's hard to get people past the initial shock of the Pascal family syntax, but once you do, you'll find it ludicrously close feature-wise to the base C++ feature set that gets used day-to-day (RAII, templates, etc.) but with a Pascal skin. It also comes with built-in concurrency.
Amperity | Seattle, WA & New York, NY | ONSITE, REMOTE | Full-time

Amperity is a unicorn company building a comprehensive, data foundational CDP. We're hiring engineers across all levels.

Interesting problems:

Hyperinflation refers to a very specific event where a country has no exports at all, and is also not self-sufficient with food production.

We could experience very high inflation, but hyperinflation is becoming a random word that people throw around without understanding the definition.
I can’t find it now, I remember the CT announcement posts explicitly calling it out as “not a blockchain”. The CloudFlare announcement also makes fun of it:

> Certificate Transparency brings accountability to the web PKI using a technology called a <del>blockchain an append-only public ledger, </del> an ordered list.

Crypto is really good at co-opting existing terms (crypto, Web3 for eg) and we shouldn’t let it go the other way as well, calling an ordered list a blockchain.

Another anecdote for the pile. Our weekly shops have gone from £130 to £190 over the past couple of months with little appreciable difference in content.

All our friends have noticed similar. Some have had to change their shopping habits to make ends meet.

I don't understand how RPI and CPI inflation markers aren't reflecting this but this a trend we're not going to be able to afford much longer.
Comm | engineering | NYC onsite | https://comm.app

We're a startup based in NYC working on a Web3 Discord alternative. Comm is crypto-native messaging based on federated keyservers.

Our long-term goal is to build an alternative to the centralized application server model that dominates Web2. Sophisticated apps (like Discord) need a backend, but today those backends are controlled by corporations. Our solution is to replace the cloud with a network of personal, private application servers (we call them “keyservers”).

I starting working on Comm earlier this year. I’m a programmer by trade and previously worked at FB for 5 years. We currently have 9 devs actively contributing to our codebase, including three here in NYC.

We raised a small pre-seed round in February from some big names and are looking to raise our seed in the next 4 months.

Can't you just go to System Preferences and click Alt + Scaled? That usually gives you all the resolutions that your monitor supports without having to use the "Larger/Smaller" visual options.
That's indeed nice...but it only works for 4K or higher resolution screens (on lower res, scaling isn't offered).

For example with the Windows solution, I have a laptop with a 1920x1080 screen which I set to 125% and then a 3440x1440 monitor which I set to 150%.

When I connect my MacBook to that monitor, I have to resort to hacks like the one linked here, or live with tiny text and heaps of wasted space.
> As far as I can recall, the current system is 'calibrated' for 2-3% annual growth. 5-8% is entering the banana republic inflation zone.

This is simply untrue. Like not even close the definition of hyperinflation used by economists. Hyperinflation is a monthly inflation rate of 50%, or 12974.63% annually.

This is scare tactics.
Toy model: There are 10 goods you buy. They're reasonably substitutable for one another (maybe they're different foods, or types of computer game, or something).

Every year one of these increases in price by 20%. A different one every year, cycling between them all. So every 10 years, they all increase by 20%, an effective inflation rate of about 1.8%.

We have a price index based on a basket of these goods. At the start of year 1, our basket contains equal quantities of all the goods. In year 1, the price of good #1 abruptly goes up 20%, having been stable for the last ten years. OK, we say, this is a thing that's experiencing some sort of anomalous increase in price, so we'll take it out of the basket. At the end of the year, we look at our basket of goods 2..10. The prices haven't increased at all! Zero percent inflation! Splendid.

At the start of year 2, our basket contains equal quantities of goods 2..10. In year 2, the price of good #2 abruptly goes up 20%, having been stable for the last ten years. Another anomalous increase. Better take this one out of the basket too. At the end of the year, we look at our basket of goods 3..10. The prices haven't increased at all! Zero inflation again.

At the start of year 3, our basket contains equal quantities of goods 3..10. In year 3, the price of good #3 abruptly goes up 20%, having been stable for the last ten years. Dang, better take this one out of the basket. Our basket is getting a little short of this kind of good. Hey, good 1 has been stable for a couple of years after its blip in year 1, let's put it back in. At the end of the year, we look at our basket of goods 1,4,..10. The prices haven't increased at all! Zero inflation.

And so we continue. Each year we remove an item that obviously doesn't belong in the basket because it's suffered an anomalous increase in price, so of course consumers will be switching to something else. Sometimes we put back in things that have been stable for a while. Every year we get an inflation figure of zero.

And yet, somehow, ten years after we started all the prices are 20% higher. How on earth did that happen?
It's important to understand that containers are not a security device. Containers are a mechanism to separate resources used by processes. You should not assume any significant security benefits to containers, regardless of what anyone claims (even a kernel developer - maybe especially them....) because it all depends on Linux kernel security, which is pretty crap.

If you want security with containers, use Firecracker. It uses Micro VMs rather than just kernel-level restrictions, so even a Linux kernel security bug shouldn't be able to jump out to the host or other containers/Firecrackers.
The 7% is adjusted every six months to match inflation. The real inflation-adjusted yield on these is 0.0%. It’s better than cash, but has some short term redemption restrictions.
> It doesn't represent American ideals

Could you expand on that?

My original comment was based on the assumption that the Florida issue demonstrated a lack of ideological consensus amongst Americans. Thus my "no true Scotsman" observation.

So I see two ways that I might have been off the mark:

(a) Florida's actions don't represent those officials' ideals, or

(b) we somehow don't include those officials' ideals when talking about American ideals.

Both (a) and (b) seem like interesting topics of discussion.
There is a massive online community (~10,000 people) of audio devs that will help you here:

https://theaudioprogrammer.com/discord/

There are some devs from some well-known companies, as well as maintainers of a few popular frameworks there.

They're (probably) going to tell you to use JUCE, use "Projucer" as a build tool, and C++ as a language. That's what most people do. I don't particularly love C++, and I prefer the CMake build, instead of their custom build tool, but potato-puhtahto.

There's also a Rust Audio development community:

https://github.com/RustAudio

https://discord.gg/b3hjnGw

And it may be a bit niche, but there is an (in my opinion) fantastic framework for writing audio plugins in D:

https://github.com/AuburnSounds/Dplug

It uses Physically-Based Rendering for the UI (PBR), which is generally used for 3D game stuff I think? It's a neat approach and the UI's it produces can look very realistic -- only framework that does this AFAIK.

The author Guillaume is a nice person and will answer questions in the #audio-dev channel of the D-lang Discord that is linked in the Dplug repo.
How we spend our time is a very important thing; we ought to spend it thoughtfully and towards what we really want.

Time and money … mannn … money and time and what we really want.
I bought one in the early 2000's, should be getting about 10% on it. The trouble with these is that the fixed rate has been 0% for some time now. If inflation does go down you could end up with a very low yielding bond. I forget what exactly it equates to on a yearly interest basis but series E bonds don't really pay squat until they hit the 20 year mark, at which time they are guaranteed to double. I wish when I was younger I had put the max into those each year I was able to, that's a nice little "pension" when you are older.
Misplaced paternalism. Why not have children instead?
"Remember that the "biggest losers" in inflationary economies are people who hold assets, not investors ..."

The biggest losers among sophisticated, moneyed actors are indeed people who hold assets.

But the biggest losers overall are those with fixed incomes dealing with rapidly rising prices.
Money quote: "...finding the right strategy is especially important when pursuing spiders that also eat jumping spiders."

Like the meta-meta-mercenary who only kills meta-mercenaries who only kill mercenaries.
I call BS. We already have about 100 times more laws than we have the capacity to prosecute so it's just noise. We already have laws about malicious communications but yet social media is still swimming with incredibly malicious content.

Insulate Britain had a number of injunctions taken against them to not block main roads and when they do, they get arrested - 1 of them saying they had been arrested 11 times. Now regardless of whether you agree with them or not, the enforcement of these headline grabbers is terrible.

Once we have enough police enforcing things consistently and as strictly as necessary then I will worry about a dystopia, until then, it's just more attempts to win votes and is just noise.
It's breaking even based on the current rate of inflation. It doesn't yield any positive returns.

Clerk.dev is a seed stage company, looking for some key hires to help build the “Stripe for Auth”.
Founded by MIT/WashU grads. Backed by by Top Tier VCs (S28, Fathom, SPC) and DX experts, including Ex-CTOs of Dropbox, Segment, Pagerduty, to name a few.

We’re not working on your typical SaaS app, this product has quite a number of twists and turns. We’re constantly pushing on DX, which sometimes calls for some tricky work. Auth is particularly challenging because of how core it is to someones application. Auth0 and co are stodgy, and hard to use - hence most people use open source still. Huge market when we crack it.

To apply shoot me an email at braden@clerk.dev
