Just to be clear, I didn't mean anything as in one way is better or superior than the other. I was only seeking to explain why I think these certain sports may be popular amongst adults, but I also meddled my own opinion in there too in that I personally find certain sports to be boring, which is a quirk of my personality.

> being programmer-first is not always a desirable feature.

programming-language-first allows convenient scripting. I could not think of a way to make anything shell-first be convenient for scripting (anything beyond tiny scale).

> higher level language REPL generally makes for a shit daily shell.

I think it proves that general purpose languages, where using them as a shell was afterthought "makes for a shit daily shell".

NGS, on the other hand, has somewhat-bash-like (read: easily run external programs) syntax at the top level, which should be good for CLI. Want to use more advanced features that are typically associated with "real" programming languages? OK, pay the price, switch syntax with { ... } and have full blown programming language at your disposal, in the shell.

> NGS isn’t unique in that regard.

I do scan alternative shells from time to time. I could have missed but I didn't see multiple dispatch in any of them. Which ones have it? Just to clarify: In which shell you can define several methods with the same name and when called, the method to invoke is selected based on the types of the arguments?

> Murex has methods, Powershell has methods.

Just looked at Murex docs. No multiple dispatch mentioned. I did not even see how to define named parameters - https://murex.rocks/docs/commands/function.html

There is a huge difference in having methods and multiple dispatch.

> not unique these days

NGS is a mixture of "borrowed" features and unique ones. Multiple dispatch is an old concept and has been implemented in other programming languages. Examples of things in NGS that I have not seen anywhere else: syntax for run-command-and-parse-output, proper handling of exit codes.

Regarding exit codes. Typical approach to exit codes varies. Python - "I don't care, the programmer should handle it". Some Python libraries and other places - "Non-zero is an error". That's simplistic and does not reflect the reality in which some utilities return 1 for "false". bash (and probably other shells too) is unable to handle in a straightforward manner situation where external command can return exit codes for "true", "false" and "error". It just doesn't fit in the "if" with two branches. NGS does handle it with "if" with two branches + possible exception thrown for "error" exit code.

Edit: and some other features around handling exit codes such as short syntax to provide expected exit code (any other exit code throws exception)

Edit: clarification - NGS knows that some external programs have exit code 1 which does not signify an error.

ribeye is not the cut that most people are buying. In a supply chain challenged environment with rising wages, premium cuts of beef are seeing price increases, but this is not evidence of outsized inflation. Also, if you want delicious beef, there are lots of other options both in cuts and preparations.

No, the load isn't the same because the web page might be a multi-megabyte monster piece of badly-coded HTML that returns only say 10 out of 1,000,000 results and needs to be paged through, where the API might return all the million results in a nice JSON chunk.

It seems "Internet history" now claims Neal Stephenson's coined the term "metaverse" in his 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash.

But this isn't really true. The term is older than that. I recall at least one usage as the title of BBS in the 80s that allowed members to join/form virtual nation-states and act as varying governing bodies. Other members would create issues and crisis that would have to addressed by these players.

Of course it was primitive compared to modern virtual reality, but it was nonetheless just that in word form -- and very much literally a "metaverse".
The government changes their reporting mechanism all the time. If you use the 90s standards it is closer to 10% (15% using the 80s standard).

Basket of things with a vastly oversized share of cheap plastic crap made in East Asian sweatshops and or unrealistic substitutes. If 95% of Americans see a "personal inflation rate" significantly larger what the government claims, perhaps the government methodology is not particularly informative?

This is the point where the burden on proof lays with those that claim the government methodology is relevant: What is the "basket of things" composition and how many Americans have a spending profile anywhere near that?

> High vaccination rate (meeting state targets) leads to revoking mask mandates and reopening schools and social venues. This increased social contact leads to a spike is cases. Nothing surprising here once you think about it.

What then was lockdown and mass vaccination for, if not to reduce spread? That's certainly what we were told where I live. If spread spikes when vaccinated people are again in close contact then wasn't the whole thing just a giant waste of time and money given the motivation?

Yes. Crazy to think a lot of places won’t even let you order a small size combo anymore. Their smallest is what I remember a large to be years ago and often I’m upsized and charged for a large unless I opt out and tell them I want a medium. They don’t even ask usually. McDonald’s is the one I’m thinking of though they’re not alone.

I have the opposite problem. I always struggle with frequent interrupts wondering "what if I am wrong?" and I fail to move forward without utmost conviction.

Nowadays I try to tell myself that no one is perfect, especially me. Expecting oneself to be correct all time is actually egoistic even though the end result turns out to be being humble and having self-doubts. To fail or to be wrong is natural. My boss even encourages me to fail sometimes, to be comfortable with the possibility failure. I am not saying that I am doing these things by default now, but at least I make it a point to try.
I think the focus on combat in game mechanics is what ruins most games from a interactive fiction / interactive movie POV. Players of Monkey Island gams don't and can't ignore the plot.
I think food prices are going up as a combination of three factors:

1) PRIMARY factor. The rent is too damned high. It has been and people have been cramming together like sardines; but just like the car rush as PPE bubbles, now people want all the housing everywhere even MORE than the last 30-50 years when it wasn't being built sufficiently to accommodate demand by jobs.

2) The lowest end workers finally got enough of a lifeline, even if only for a short time, to realize how badly they were underpaid and how much they need to really have a modestly OK life. Combine with all the services that let them work in the first place (care for children, like daycare and schools) unable to provide due to the pandemic and this is hard-stalled between less workers and workers who hold out for more in what is finally a sellers market.

3) I don't have first hand observational data on this, but my gut feeling is that it's harder for businesses that used to do under the table work with citizens / undocumented immigrants to fully staff, and all the more likely for the pandemic to harm tightly packed workers in processing places. It would be nice to hear more about documented guest worker programs that legitimize migrant worker practices, while also ensuring that they're paid enough to discourage undercutting the local job market.

I'll also note: Rent affects the businesses too... and food prices might go up based on their (mistaken) belief that consumers can afford to pay more. I have cut back to lower quality options and rarer treats for some options in the last half year as prices have risen past the points I'm willing to buy at.
It was easy to add it using cookies/or header - few Linux distributions did that this way.
It's a classic case of a system designed for the largest scales being adopted by 2-person teams because it's "hip to be just like the big boys".

Git was intended for distributed development amongst literally tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of programmers.

Centralised SCMs worked just fine for typical dev teams of 2-15 people.

I've rarely seen a team that actually utilises even 10% of Git's features. Conversely, when they accidentally trip over the inherent complexity of a distributed SCM they always cause a giant mess and end up "fixing" it in bad ways.

Yep...the point is still valid though. Technically, scientific publishing is easy to replace by a sound solution. Yet, politically, it's so hard. Think also to all the students that fully realize that before commiting seriously to academia. They either leave in disgust or start to play along. The death of A. Schwartz moved me a lot during my Phd. But my supervisor forbade me to publish in a public solution based on post review only saying that it would threaten our lab reputation. I am not sure I would have stayed in academia even if the system was less ugly (nb I was in cognitive psychology), but I am fully certain that I would have been much more happy there with a better system.
I grew up playing sports too mostly full contact sports and ball games like football. Haring the endurance part really resonates with me too. I absolutely hated the endurance training in those sports. It's really the skills I learnt and the competition in the pitch that kept me in them.
I agree with the child comment that using different databases can hide away special database features (although ORMs unfortunately seem to be doing that anyways).

However I completely agree with what what's really important is the different types of services you run based on the implementation.

So for example when I develop my applications completely off grid, I use express + reaper to mimic S3 / cloud storage. When I deploy just swap it out with the AWS S3 service instead.

I also got inspired to use this pattern when building deepstream.io, it's a node server that can take any database/cache/message bus/etc and pretty much run with it (with a small library adaptor). In that case we basically say 'the minimum requirement for functionality is XYZ and if the service provides is, we are in. Super useful.
I do understand this point, but am trying to be honest as a consumer. My family has only ever really liked ribeyes. If they've doubled in price, that affects us. That say, stew meat or london broil didn't doesn't affect our bottom line.

The land around most population centers in the US is used incredibly wastefully. If you compare the density of a modern Asian city to a US city the comparison is pretty woeful (probably contributes to the "going back in time" feeling when visiting the US also).

Was never a java dev. I just built alot of things that required to work both on with local systems (express / local disks), cloud systems (s3 / serverless) and a huge list of other things. Having my code deal with interfaces or services just works. Without this approach it would have been alot harder to build things like deepstream.io (or deepstreamHub ontop of it)
Yes, by far. It’s much easier to extract heat from ~55F ground water than from ~20F exterior air. Ditto for dumping excess heat into ~55F ground water than 90F exterior air. On average the water coming out of a geothermal loop will be more advantageous to work with than exterior air, which is why it’s a thing.

Also keep in mind that groceries, or rather food in general, only comprise in the neighborhood of 10% of the average household budget. So if we're just talking about food, if you're paying 50% more, that is just a 5% increase in your overall expenses.

And as far as your rent going up by 30%, that's offset by some people whose rent actually went down by a lot during the early pandemic when people were fleeing the cities and bargains were to be had. And some people who don't pay rent at all, but pay fixed-rate mortgages which will go up by zero percent over the life of the loan. So you can see how that could significantly nerf the total inflation affecting that household.

I just copy others’ styles and phrasing here and hope they will stick. Negativity goes in two main forms (at least for me): categorization and subjectivity. Categorization is the worst one. E.g. instead of saying that X is ~bullshit and I hate to use it, you may say that you had some issues with it and enumerate these in a context, which is much more objective and constructive. Subjectivity is, well, subjective. When something is negative “for me”, I try to not skip that subscript. As I understand it, negativity doesn’t really seem bad if you share your experience with others, even if it’s a little colorful. And realistic people (which I pretend to be one of them) actually like when someone cuts to the shit without softening the meaning.

As of general negativity, I think you should ask more if it makes your life worse, like the one you did here. It’s usually hard to see what it does to you, and is structurally hard to change. Personally I’m working with CBT to tackle that, because my negativity brings some issues (general distrust, decision paralysis, etc), but for some of my rants even a doctor says it’s okay, cause I’m just straightforward and sincere, I just need to see BOTH negative and positive sides, the latter I tend to skip as “expected by default”. In my experience, this entire thing really is too structured for a specific advice to help, but this one is general: make positive things explicit, as you make it for negative ones. That will balance out the perception of you.

E.g. remember your last negative reaction to/meaning about X and list 3-5 things which were good in X. Not that it makes ir “actually good”, it doesn’t, just isolate its good sides and spell them out. I took the liberty to check few pages of your comments here, and Meta VR seems to be a good start :). As much as I don’t believe a word they say, I can see positive things about this situation.
Interesting discussion.

To me it seems sending a http request is somewhere inbetween looking (legal) and entering (illegal if not permitted).

However, most important is that the web as a system makes positive interactions easy and negative difficult. We have already found some set of constraints achieving this for interactions in public city streets. But it's not obvious the same rules (that we have internalized) have the same effect in another medium of communication.
Not exactly. Some people are in the business of gathering and selling valid credit cards.

They won't cash out on them or buy items. Instead, they'll collect cards from a source (skimming, hacking, whatever), validate them by adding them to a website that does an authorization (those $1 checks that never get committed). They can then sell them wholesale for a premium compared to non-verified cards.
That's how inflation behaved in many historical situations. I'm bookmarking this comment, at least I'll have the pleasure of "I told you so" if the authorities fail to bring inflation under control.
