> Or put another way, if fuel goes up astronomically and people buy less of it, they will adjust its weight downwards, limiting the effects of its price increase on the headline inflation.

What problem do you see in that approach? That looks exactly like the expected behavior from the average consumer.

If your goal is to track the prices of goods and services actually consumed by the population, isn't it appropriate to lower the impact of goods and services that are consumed less by said population?
In Germany that basket regularly changes contents to keep the official inflation at a politically opportune level. People here still believe that inflation is around 3% - yet the prices have exploded.

>” I have a running theory that many become interested in endurance sports as adults because they actually don't know how to play other sports. So in a way, these endurance sports are the so-called "easy" way in because they don't require the skill refinement that more skill-based sports require like basketball, martial arts, etc”

that’s the only theory notable enough for mention and just so happens it paints endurance athletes in a negative light…

How about this theory, those who don’t take up endurance sports don’t have the mental strength and dislike the meditative quality of them and instead favor short term gratification and rewards.

Of course that’s accurate for a subset just like the first theory was but a very gross generalization
Calgary, even with recent economic struggles, has been a sort of magical Christmas land with relatively high wages, low cost of living and urban sprawl development to meet demand. I don't think there are many other places in Canada that tick all those boxes.

1. I doubt there is one answer that applies to everyone.

2. I don't know, and I doubt anyone else does either at the moment.

My guess is that it was a combination of issues:

- more time, freedom, and money to look for a new job

- worsening treatment of workers

- vicious cycle of turnover leading to burnout leading to more turnover

- increased demand for low-skill white-collar jobs as services (especially technology) boomed

- continued urbanization, forcing low-wage workers to move away from urban jobs and into remote work

Just let it go, focus on what’s most vital. I always imagine that no matter what happens, the first act is to relax and reflect

I think Wikipedia draws a good distinction here: culinary and botanical. So, banana is NOT berry in a culinary sense, and a strawberry is. Even if, botanically it’s the opposite.

I think it’s an important distinction because people using the term “berry” almost always are using it in a culinary context and not a botanical context.

No one wants a pie with fresh “aggregate accessory fruits”, just as much as no one would think it’s correct to call an eggplant tomato pie a dessert with “fresh berries”.

I think making these chars human visible is a feature. Most code editors have features like showing invisible characters, displaying some representation of white space characters, or highlighting control sequences.

Because the editor is supposed to edit plain text, which means all characters must be editable. And something can only be editable if they are visible.
I know nothing about that but in general, prediction and therefore valuation is not easy.

Not saying the reasons don't exist but I just don't get it.
The claim was that there is not operator precedence in J and that the result is "totally avoid ambiguity at all". But that's just not so. The / in `+/%#` totally is an operator, and could also have a user defined name. It does not have the same precedence as +, % and # and you can't parse the expression without knowing that beforehand. You also need to understand "trains". In fact you need two parses, because there are two essentially unrelated meanings of the expression and there is no context to disambiguate if it is monadic or dyadic.
I love the UI! It's so simple and clean.

I wouldn't be so sure about visibility since it seems most code editors and programming languages want to support more unicode, not less... One of my hobbies used to be annually running a regex search through the company's millions of lines of java to see how much of an increase there was in non-printable spaces (0x200b) in java method names or other symbols. Eclipse at least wouldn't show them by default, I don't remember IntelliJ's behavior, but most people wouldn't know they were there. I was aware of only one time when it impacted someone who typed in a whole identifier by sight but the reference included a 200b and they were stuck for a bit figuring out why things didn't work.

But I agree the trick (hard to call it an attack or even bug) is fun, in the same way as the earlier tricks of fake filename extensions. And terribly obvious, even with the limitations of default code viewers, and with no plausible deniability once caught, so it's pretty overblown for practical considerations. The intentionally introduced Linux kernel bugs from several months ago were far more significant a lesson for people to learn from, and they didn't rely on any unicode tricks but on much simpler tricks that were also somewhat plausibly deniable to chalk up to an oopsie.
That is a bummer since I like their tablets for drawing. But I cannot in good conscience support such practices. If they ask the user, fine. But this is certainly the worst form of spyware, even if it is only used for "legitimate" purposes.

Sorry, I don't understand your first point, even after reading it several times. I think I might have inferred what you meant by looking at the second (edited in) point, but I'm not sure.

Are you suggesting that it is bad that PHP applications often have a request path that relates to the folder structure?

In other words, are you suggesting that simplicity means an application should not have a request path that relates to the folder structure?

To give an example, are you saying it's a bad thing that example.com/profile/ loads /profile/index.php, rather than passing /profile through a single controller function to identify what code should be responsible for handling it?

The first approach actually seems pretty straightforward paradigm and it's what most new programmers would expect. Adopting a MVC/routes method is more complex and arguably overkill for a simple application.

If that is what you are contending, it should be said that PHP does not require this approach. Although it is often a preferred approach, because it doesn't depend on additional web server configuration.
Yeah, if I well remember from similar Intel manuals, no power/GND pins are marked as optional, quite the contrary

A couple of recommendations for you:

1. Avoid one of, if not the most common logical fallacy on HN: appeal to authority / credentialism.

Upper middle class and rich people benefit from debt. Lower middle class and poor people suffer from it.

- lower middle class/poor: A cleaner working hand-to-mouth taking a payday loan isn't inflation hedging. She's paying through the nose for the privilege of a 33% loan because she's a risky debtor.

- middle class: I make money on my mortgage. I see my 1.22% 20 years fixed mortgage melt away against a salary that is raising with inflation. Plus I get rewarded by government with a tax deduction. Similar story for our rental.

- rich: Elon Musk can live off margin loans against a fraction of his investment portfolio if and when it makes sense.

I would argue that the term "metaverse" is kept vague so they can rebrand everything with it.

> It's not valid though. Inflation driven substitution means lower quality.

It really is valid. Not only is it valid, it's precisely the whole point of tracking a consumer price index. The goal of CPI is to track the prices of goods and services consumed by the population, not brand- or product-loyalty. When prices go significantly up, it's a known fact that consumers react by seeking affordable alternatives, or in the case of luxury items simply going without.

...in which case, restrictions should never have been mandated, and those who looked at their personal risk and decided that going about their lives as normal was acceptable should have been allowed to do so.

And besides, in the UK the continuing lockdowns were very much sold on the hypothesis that they prevent transmission.

I've been bitten by things like this from an entirely unexpected angle - messengers like teams and skype sometimes <helpfully> replace characters like "-" and " " with all manner of more readable unicode characters. More readable, until the YAML parser choked.

> how capable are we as a society even to recognize the propaganda and lies when we see them

I would argue that many of the things that get categorised as Truth or Lie are actually not so easy to distinguish as we might hope. We do not enjoy a world of clear, mathematically-precise binary choices, but instead have to deal with things like opinions, parts of facts, unknowns, and complex systems whose outcomes have multiple causes.

There are many things which I see paraded as absolute certainties where I myself reserve some room for doubt, even where I may mostly agree.

I feel the larger issue facing us is not a torrent of absolute lies, but an overconfidence in discerning the lie, and a retreat from humility, nuance, and reasonableness (which is not the same as rationality).

That's not at all the cause. It's because our supply chains and logistic networks are very tight for maximum profit and efficiency.
Any disruption, like 500,000 people dieing unexpectedly, trucks being diverted to carry medical supplies or toilet paper and any overseas part delivery delays cause large ripple effects. Millions, if not billions of broiler chickens were disposed of over the last year because they couldn't get delivered or processed. Similar situations are happening all over, we are getting fewer and fewer trucks on the road each week due to routine mechanical issues that can't be fixed because the parts aren't available.

The logistics problem is continuing to spiral, ships backed up are now not returning on time so factories are backed up and forced to shutdown production.

People not in production and logistics are severely underestimating how bad this is going to be. This is the beginning of the shortages.

If participating in a society-wide delusion is killing your soul, then refusing to participate in it is spiritual life.

Giving your energy to a system you abhor, to sustain values you reject, to benefit people you oppose, for many people becomes more costly than the opprobrium, lost income, loss of status, etc. that can result from refusing to repeat the lies.

It's not even necessarily about changing the world. It's about living in a way that gives you peace and inner freedom. The essay calls it "spiritual independence".

If I understand correctly, what you're suggesting could be thought of as pre-rendering directionality into the memory layout. If we did that then it might compromise our ability to write an algorithm that iterates over a string of hebrew or arabic characters. Display is super complicated and people don't agree on how to do it. For example, consider the arabic text عودة أبو تايه‎. If I sneak a latin A between all those characters to prevent the display algorithm from rearranging and shaping them, then that same string looks like this: عAوAدAةAأAبAوAتAاAيAه. Those are the same characters and you can confirm that yourself using:

for c in 'عودة أبو تايه‎':
print(unicodedata.name(c))

On the other hand if you want to romanize that string as EWDTA AEBW TAIH then all you need is a for loop and a switch statement, because the memory order is always left to right. We can also rest assured that if someone invents a better display algorithm, we won't need to do any database migrations, since the encoding itself doesn't need to change.
Inflation is good only for long term debt.
Local currencies are a thing since the middle age. They allow for a distinct set of rules (=! Inflation rate) governed by “local” representatives. In strong economies (like g7), it does not make much sense, granted.

You may lose on the exchange processes vs “the global currency”, but your community may not care since aiming to trade locally.

PS : in constant inflationary economies (read Argentina, i think 600% in 10y), crypto is mainstream now for regular Joe's. Stable coins are all the rage to fight inflation.
Even a minimal familiarity with the American cooking landscape should easily disabuse anyone of the notion that Americans of either gender cook at home. No, "pasta salad", microwaved mac & cheese and the occasional barbecued hamburger is not home cooking.

I grew up in a poor country, with an objectively deprived food supply chain. There were multiple home cooked dishes in the fridge at all times, though, if memory serves right, '88/'89 were rough. Every single social gathering had more 10x tastier and more varied home cooked food than I ever saw in decades of American life. I met exactly one American family that took cooking seriously and placed a noticeable degree of effort in home cooking dinner from raw ingredients, though their results were rather on the high end, not sure they were engaging in the process on a regular basis.

As a general rule, it seems sane, yes. But I have a friend who is a nurse, she got bad COVID during the first wave, but fully recovered. Later, she got vaccinated because she was required to for work. The vaccination left her with POTS (racing heart rate and dizziness every time she stands). I'm not saying this is common or likely, but what do we gain by forcing people to get a vaccine who don't need it? Once someone has immunity, it should be their choice if they want an additional vaccine.
