A lot of us actually mean capitalism because we believe that the incentives it creates are inherently baked into its structure. For example, the construction of capital markets inevitably lead to labor exploitation through a natural series of actions and reactions. That's anti-capitalism 101.

Anyone who has worked at a heavily funded startup knows this. They may not have the words for it, or they may even like it, but they cannot deny that the situation creates the incentives.
Is anyone familiar how this scaling up process works? To what point can it be scaled up using lab methods, and at which point does it make sense to start making it large-scale?
Basically that’s my understanding. Anywhere you stick the money with low velocity will have the same effect on the left hand side of the equation to absorb increases in money supply. You’re right that people pick durable assets like houses to put it in, but it would have a similar effect on the velocity of the money supply if they buried cash in garbage bags for 15 years en-mass. People don’t do that because they expect reasonable and small inflation; you could imagine if that expectation went away though (either expecting deflation or very high inflation) how the money supply lever could stop being effective.

Through the velocity lense, the fact that QE and stimulus checks have very different inflation effects also becomes apparent- if you give a check to someone living paycheck to paycheck, they will spend it in their local community nearly immediately and it will be passed around quite a bit before getting locked into an asset price somewhere. If you edit the banks accounts at the fed or have the fed buy assets though, it seems to go quickly into asset prices where it sits for years before leaking into the economy as a whole, with a much much lower velocity. So $1 there != $1 here in terms of increasing prices.
> No, this is definitely not how atomics with memory orderings work.

Of course it is.

> If you do two atomic reads, the CPU will do two load instructions. Neither the compiler or the CPU is allowed to optimize this.

If you perform two atomic loads on the same location in sequence, then it is completely feasible and normal that the two loads would return exactly the same value, thus the second load can be optimised away. Even under sequential consistency, this is perfectly, well, consistent. It's also perfectly valid to fold atomic writes. See http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2015/n445... for more discussion on the subject

No compiler currently bothers doing that (that I know), but it's not because they can't, it's because the effort is probably not worth it, at least at the moment.

> I've done lots of mmio code on ARM at $work in the past few years, and we've spent a lot of time to make sure we have all our memory barriers right. They are quite tricky on ARMv8, as mmio can be either on the system bus or the main memory bus which need distinct kinds of memory barriers.

I can believe that.

> Using volatile in mmio code on modern CPUs is almost certainly a bug. Some microcontrollers may be an exception.

Not using volatile in mmio code on modern compilers is almost certainly a bug as well.
By analogy, imagine an aeroplane in a wind tunnel. It's not the real aeroplane - it's a scale model. It has no engine and it's not moving, the wind is moving over it. On one level the experiment hasn't achieved anything - that model can never do anything useful in the real world.

But we are making measurements on aerodynamic performance - on another level we have learned that if you can make an aircraft that shape and give it an engine that moves it at the same speed as the airflow, then the aeroplane will generate enough lift to keep it in the air. That's a really important result that gets us significantly closer to a useful aeroplane. If separately someone has demonstrated an engine with suitable weight and power characteristics to match, then we can say "now we just need to build the aircraft and it should fly".

Helion involves a unique method of extracting energy from the fusion process (direct extraction from the magnetic field). That's new and therefore uncertain. Producing a reactor that performs something fusion-like and generates electricity in that way is a great result even if the fusion process isn't generating as much power as it should and is fundamentally driven by electricity. Like the plane above, if they have separately demonstrated a fusion process that is powerful enough, "all" they need to do now is put the two things together.

I'm in the US and my partner was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and I was their sole source of health insurance, so to keep my focus on work I reminded myself every day that if I lost my job for any reason, we'd run out of money within weeks covering either COBRA or out-of-pocket expenses, lose our home, and they would probably die.

Taking paid caretaker leave for a spouse wasn't an option in my state, and my employer only offered unpaid protected leave; since we were losing my partner's income as well, that also wasn't sustainable, so I worked through it and used PTO as necessary. I was beyond fortunate to have an all-time best of my career manager when this happened; she took everything in stride, accomodated everything as I needed it within her power, rallied the team to cover in emergencies, and completely unprompted was the only person to send my partner flowers in the hospital — she even tracked down the room number herself so not to bother me.

To care for my partner, I took on all of the household responsibilities — we didn't have family nearby, and this took place entirely within the pandemic, so long-distance travel wasn't an option for them - and also all the transportation for infusions and follow-up appointments. I spent as much time with them as I could, worked from home (pandemic helped there), kept them company, cleaned up after them.

Beyond that, there's not much specific care you can provide for chemo side effects, and the effects can be unexpected. Make yourself available to them and set expectations with co-workers (if you can't take leave) and anyone else who relies on you that you'll need to be interrupted frequently.

Maybe the best thing you can do for them is ensure all end-of-life paperwork is in order. Make sure there's a will, a living will, advance directives, make sure they're all signed/witnessed/notarized, get a lawyer if you can afford it (especially if your employer can provide or refer one at a discount). Do it now, because you don't know when or if this will take a turn — treatments or cancer symptoms can start to erode their metal lucidity — and by that point it might be too late to get the signatures necessary.

However stressed you feel about things now, if cancer kills them, it will be so much more incredibly worse. Center yourself in the present. Put aside plans for the future and reconcile the past, now, because you can't do either of those when they're dead.

The harder thing on myself is getting any motivation to work back after the end. Whether that's the cancer going away for now or death, this will permanently change your relationship to work, especially tech work where you're exposed to or enable financial inequality.

I don't think anyone on here can help you with that because your response is going to be so entirely and uniquely your own that you'll have to find your own path onward. Try not to do it alone, try to find a community of cancer caretakers and survivors, but understand that being a caretaker will forever set you apart and change your perspective on making money, IPOs, million/billionaire founders, startup culture, blah fuckin blah.
That's pretty broad, here are some questions that might help you find something relevant: 1) is it a big batch job or incremental/streaming analysis, 2) does the data reasonably fit on one machine, 3) does your existing analysis depend on any complex 3rd party libraries (hard to port away from), 4) would you be willing to use a cloud provider's proprietary tool, 5) what level of commercial support do you need?

You can get pretty far with R or Pandas + Scipy on a fast machine, after that then you start taking on more hassle of Spark or whatever fits your situation.

Oh, and 0) pain that's motivating the rebuild. Feel free to e-mail me even just to rubber duck your thinking.

And what of all those government websites that don't get updated very often, with forms that people rely on to get access to benefits? Something as simple as client-side pre-form-validation would break access and it could be months before anyone does anything about it. Sure, you could argue that the various government bureaus should be better about updating stuff, but that's really just not going to happen.
Why do I keep on having to give my allergies to the doctor every time I'm there?

My timeline is that it is too expensive and full of forms for me to go talk to my doctor. And I have to keep answering the same questions to my doctor about my allergies over and over and over anyway.

I think all this paper work helps a parasitic managerial class, but I've never seen it help me.
>If this fraud stuff trips you up you aren't doing it right.

That mentality, across the entire ad industry, is how I retired before 40. Assumptions of security, understanding, and operating knowledge create huge blindspots, and those were my flow state.
Of course. The two Koreas also want unification, the problem is that there's so much disagreement regarding the leadership of this would be unified Korea, that they're in a perpetual state of war with only a cease fire agreement and a DMZ along the 38th parallel.

The people who want Taiwan to be independent are the pragmatic lot who have given up on unification, on mainland China being part of the ROC, at least for the foreseeable future. I doubt any significant part of them want Taiwan to be part of the PRC.
Eneargy Aware Scheduler is from ARM/Android.
I wasn't aware of Capacity Aware Scheduler, but it's also from ARM. I'm glad to see these being upstreamed. Thanks for the pointer!
The default config of systemd on Arch suspends to RAM when the lid switch of a laptop is triggered. Unfortunately many modern laptops no longer implement the S3 sleep state in favor of Microsoft's proprietary "Connected Standby" (i.e. the mode that tends to cook laptops in their bags). My new Thinkpad has a toggle in the EFI to re-enable S3, after which suspend to RAM works on Arch with no further configuration necessary.
Kind of felt like I would die before the Energy Age gets here. This gives me hope that it may come sooner than expected.
There's dozens (hundreds?) of different types of conceptual fusion designs. Are you talking about fusion in general or just with FRCs?

In general, there's so many ideas that "don't seem like they wouldn't work" without evidence one way or the other. It wouldn't surprise me that the path with FRCs is more fruitful than tokamaks/stellarators/lasers. FRCs are rooted in the inertial-electrostatic-confinement realm of fusion research which actually does produce neutrons even on the smallest of scales.
I would generally agree with everything you said. These steps will get you job offers and employment.

But based on personal experience in Europe I do find that networking with recruiters is a complete waste of time.
Networking with past colleagues and popping into the local meetup scene plus targeted talks with recruiters at industry conferences such as oscon (rip!) are going to give you way better returns.

I've got 20+ years experience in the industry, I've worked at some well-known shops and I have a decent looking CV with some financial sector experience. I do get the regular Google and Facebook recruiters on LinkedIn but would probably not pass their interview because I am already gainfully employed and do not have the time to cram computing trivia to pass their screen. Due to the financial sector experience I seem to get a ton of recruiters from the UK (and now NL), plus an incredible large number of invites to talk about a "devops engineer position" from German recruiters.

Especially the German recruiters are a complete waste of time. They are so terrible, they keep offering junior to mid-level positions to someone with 20yoe and a tech-lead/staff title to match. Their base comp is usually below 50% of my current base, sometimes barely a third. The UK and NL offers are better financially but still not reaching current TC levels. At this point, it's not even worth replying to their LinkedIn or Xing messages.

If you're at the bottom of the market or just starting out, recruiters or headhunters can be helpful to get an in at a company. But once you have a few years experience, their value rapidly declines, especially if you're aiming at the top of the market comp wise. With experience and a network, you know where your friends are working, if they like the places and you have an easy way to get referrals.
Actually, I agree with that position, which is why I started this sub thread curious about how this comment played out https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29108069

My point is that by the standards of that comment, you are micromanaging. I think those standards are ridiculous, though.

Plainly, parents of successful kids are all very involved. This sort of “you sink or swim on your own merits” nonsense is moronic bullshit.

You could use that argument against DNA matching too. Sure, it helps with crime but it also allows someone to be tied to their physical body.
Right!

It floors me to see so many not internalizing what that means.

NanoKnife bought my father probably another year or two of fairly good qol. I'd recommend looking into it if you haven't already. Sounds like your father has a similar way of dealing with it to mine.
It absolutely is good-faith, as I genuinely believe there are puppet accounts used on this page. Another user mentioned it. What is not good-faith are persistent "requests for more information" from apartheid apologists (the number of actual people these users represent is in question) that have no interest in the "specifics" or "elaboration" they are asking for.
Different states exist. That is, supply chain security involves a lot of possible state actors trying to subvert other state and private actors for a variety of reasons, from ransomware to intelligence to simple opportunism for chaos.
But they'll still continue to use internally for data mining, knowledge graph, etc - which is really the main problem.
Sure, there’s a scale to these things:

However, it could be argued that small continuous amounts of superstition and magical thinking (like regular horoscopes) weakens people over time, so that they are vulnerable to the larger stuff (like essential oils) or even larger and more harmful conspiracies later.

> They did however stopped to provide updates to solution "Windows XP", without giving an alternative compatible on the same legacy hardware (the old ATM hardware).

Hang on there… Microsoft never did stop making updates to Windows XP Embedded - they kept it on super-extended support as “Windows POSReady” (I think the pun was intentional…) and it’s replacement in “Windows IoT” is reasonable.

Your argument is valid only if ATM manufacturers were being missold XP Embedded by Microsoft on the basis that the support lifecycle of XP Embedded would outlive the ATM hardware - but I put it to you that is not the case. The support lifeycle of MS products is (surprisingly) well-documented and transparent - and to my knowledge (and saying that as a former blue-badge myself) MS has never represented XP Embedded (or other NT-family OSes) as being suitable for a 20+ year lifespan. The blame lies squarely with the systems-integrator who built the ATMs.
how many GUI toolkits do you know that work on an STM32 uc ? because Qt does.

https://resources.qt.io/videos/programming-for-smart-devices...

I think that's there's a huge problem with Qt's installer where I've seen a lot of people blindly checking all the boxes and installing things they'll never need like 6 different windows ABIs, the android version and whatnot which will install literally gigabytes of stuff and lead to a bloated perception (I teach students to make UIs with Qt every year and every year even if I warn them beforehand, they used to still fall into that trap... nowadays I just tell them to use aqt which will just install exactly what is needed).

A build of Qt on desktop machines for the needs of LXQT (basically, QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets) can be in the ~15-20 megabytes ballpark.
The goal of the individual is not to work, the goal of the individual is to retire early. Everything short of that is a failure.

This company has failed to give the opportunity to retire early to its owners ever since 1874.

The original founders didn't retire early for sure, and the 2nd generation and 3rd generation failed to do so as well.

And for sure this concrete company isn't giving a chance to retire early to those who own its stock today, because 1 billion split among the many millions of individual who own the stock makes the individual gains a non-life changing amount.

The only way you can retire early with this cement company is via betting on the stock using some insane 1000:1 leverage and trade its daily up&down movements.

Now take a second and just compare this cement company against the many thousands of millionaires that Microsoft minted over the years and that it continues to mint.

Some people have made millions from dividends and on top of that millions from the sheer stock appreciation, all that with an investment in the thousands or dozen of thousands at most.
I'd guess Kwin.
Since F# is typed, have a look at FastApi in Python. It's a better inspiration than flask: it uses dep injection with typing to configure your endpoints. It's very flexible, infinity composable, and such a nice experience.

Django's API is now clearly dated. I still use it massively though, because it's insanely productive for CRUD apps, which are 99% of my client requests.

They made some hard choices about the auth and db layer, and they are imperfect, but when left to do the choice myself in other frameworks, I often miss Django. You really value all it gives you once you've lost it.

I just think it’s confusing to relate it to the country of Germany or its people when in fact it has nothing to do with it. Whereas if you call something India from 500 BC it very much has to do with modern India and its people.
Any time :)

We didn't have backwards compatibility in those days. Radical change happened. I personally think of Rust as being three or four different languages before 1.0 happened. The problem is the exact same as others have said; doing that degree of breaking change all at once is effectively starting a new language project, which means that you also throw away all of the community and things that they've built so far.

Also, Rust does have a kind of "core" semantics, that is, MIR. You can't code in it directly, but it is a rich target for verification and analysis tools.
Is it that clear-cut? My impression is not that astrology as a practice has a rigid hierarchical structure, nor that the people disseminating horoscopes and the like do not believe it themselves.
What is motivation in this case?
Oh man, quite the history for me here.

My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer when I was 18/19 (freshman year in college). My mother was diagnosed with lymphoma when I was 21/22 (senior year). Both of them went through some combination of chemotherapy/radiation/etc. - I honestly don't remember every detail. Both went into remission for a period of time.

My mother was then again diagnosed with lymphoma (it came back) during my mid 20's, went through treatment, and recovered (still in remission).

One last lash of cancer hit her in my 30's but was quickly resolved through a single mastectomy.

It was my mother's second round of lymphoma that strained us all the most. She felt like garbage for what seemed like an endless amount of time. That coincided with an extraordinarily period of time at work in my early-ish career. I don't recall telling my boss at the time. She was a wreck, we were a wreck. I wouldn't wish that combination on anyone.

So, I was mentally and emotionally drained because of my mom's situation but didn't do a good job articulating that to anyone. I was performing poorly at work but don't think I mentioned any of this to my boss. I am sure I seemed like a wreck and certainly performed in various aspects of life as if something was off.

Looking back at it all, I have three points of advice:
1. Tell people about your situation so that they aren't misinformed about your overall state (good or bad).

2. As cromulent said, use the help that's offered. You probably aren't as functional as you want to be. Let people help you.

3. Finally, don't think about telling people "not to worry" about you. They will anyways. The people who will ask you questions and support you are the people you want nearby, even if you don't feel that way some or all days. My hunch is you'll ultimately feel better the more you let people in rather than trying to find ways to keep your guard high.
It's not blaming capitalism. It's blaming purism.

X at "its purest" is pretty awful, for all values of X.

Shocking news flash: pretty much any system has unintended consequences, distortions, etc. You invariably need checks and balances (which rob it of its "purity") in place to mitigate. When you get into the extra-legal space, where those checks and balances are most mitigated, you see some pretty terrible stuff.
Specification wars. Image sensors of the same size and quality tend to take about the same quality pictures, provided they have sufficient pixels (or whatever they're called). Larger sensors mean larger lenses and in general more space, so that is expensive to design in. Higher quality sensors are hard to show in objective terms, so that's hard to market. Pixel count is an objective number and easy to compare, so it's a marketting win to have 20% more pixels than the other phone, even if that's worse.
All of this is true. Hence why we're actually moving to the middle of nowhere in Europe. Because the middle of nowhere there is still 30 minutes from cities, whereas even being 'somewhere' in Canada is 4 hours from the closest city, nevermind the actual middle of nowhere. Plus more family in Europe.

But the middle of nowhere, actually, has always appealed. You're right though, it has drawbacks.
