It doesn't necessarily, but there are some issues to think about:

1) Interest rates that are low mean that middle-class savings accounts don't grown in size. QE requires low interest rates as I understand it.

2) MMT is linked to QE but guess what, an oligarchic system isn't going to distribute QE capital to middle class and poor people, it's going to go into the pockets of the ruling class.

In any case, you really can't trust the corporate economists, and their performance before the 2008-2009 economic crash is proof of that. It's as bad as if the entire climate science community had predicted global cooling and we got global warming instead - clearly, the scientific community would conclude that their models are fundamentally flawed.

This of course is why economics professors are safely enclosed in university business departments, so they don't have to face constant ridicule from real scientists.
Damn. This guy divorces.

Thanks so much for this detailed feedback.

We are actually currently planning work to greatly improve the experience of the REST API integration (including better docs) - due to it being such a fundamental part of building any software.

1) Good catch, we will fix that right away.
2) Great suggestion, this will definitely help guide the user.
3) Very valid - there will be a more wizard based experience for the REST connector soon. It's quite manual at the moment. Appreciate that you liked the handlebars templating experience!
4) This is a big feature for budibase - we try and auto generate as much as we can, to make the dev experience faster.
5) More docs and guidance around this is on the way with our "blocks" feature, which should make building forms a much more pleasant experience.
6) as above.

Gitbooks is a pretty nice platform - it takes a lot of the effort out of creating/designing docs and they recently updated their editor, so we are very happy with it!
Indeed. Some of packages that depend on it seems to be "hello world" NPM modules created from boilerplate projects.

Google’s 404 has always been like that

Looks like perhaps an issue with Google Load Balancer. We have a load balancer in front of Google Storage Buckets, and can access resources directly from the buckets, but getting 404 when going through the load balancer.
I wonder if a legal discovery will ever find internal status dashboards that reflect reality rather than fictitious SLA liability-aware status pages.
Thank you a ton for posting this! I've been doing this for most/all of my life and it didn't really make sense till now. I've had people explain it before but it didn't really make sense. Here's what I got from what you wrote (please correct me if this is wrong / kinda off in some way)

For most words, the possessive form is "<word>'s"

For pronouns (including it) there are different rules. He becomes his, she goes to hers, it goes to its.

Also, words that already end in s don't get the " 's " treatment.

(Question - for words that end in "s", we put the apostrophe after the existing, ending 's', yes?)

Thanks again for posting this - viewing the possessive form of it as (yet another English language) exception to the normal rule of " 's " is really helpful.
We haven’t yet worked out out our pricing model for Budibase Cloud. However, it will most likely be user-based / per seat - similar to platforms like Retool & Airtable.
Basically. The vocal right and vocal left are both convinced that big tech is biased against them and in favor of the other, when in reality, they're mostly biased against controversy which would hurt them with advertisers.
Thread stacks are not OS level objects, at least in linux you just malloc or anon-mmap some memory and pass that to clone() or you own green thread implementation.
For other readers, it took me a while to figure out that esm.sh is a website you can go to which explains what it is.
NaN is a float according to IEEE754. All numbers in Javascript being floats, it makes sense that typeof NaN === "number".

Now, the fact that IEEE754 is insane is something else, but JS does nothing wrong (aside from not having not-floats)

Docker is basically a way to segment/emulate control, configuration, and access to cloud host infrastructure on an individual basis because in shared hosting environments, you can't change settings or they can possibly compromise security and impact everyone else hosted on the platform negatively. It adds a bunch of software on top of other software and requires massive hardware and power consumption to drive it overall, and still is not particularly more reliable nor secure than the old method of hosting your own site, and it drives consumerism and environmental pollution probably just as bad if not worse than before here and in many other parts of the country, but it generally feels less guilty because you don't have to see the factories and plants -- they're hidden overseas and in rural areas that you don't go to.

No one wants to admit that things were probably better when we ran our own infrastructure and bought hosting at fixed pricing, because they're busy making money off of the new and overly-complex "utility priced" cloud hosting solution model to hosting web sites and apps, and because the learning curve for their competition is now more steep, reducing the threat to their profit pipelines... There, I said it.

These days people have a huge problem with getting to the point in speech and in writing. If you put the premise up front, it allows people to get it an move on, or to argue with you online more easily without reading the elaboration below it.

There is usually a reason why software and hardware is made, to solve a specific problem, or to solve a group of problems, yet modern-day engineers don't see the importance of putting the detail about the problem(s) that their tools solve foreword FIRST AND FOREMOST before gushing about how to use their tools. A lot of the time they don't put the premise first because it's an ugly solution, or in reality simply useless, or based on being costly, and usually just too damn overly-complicated to really work consistently and accurately.

We also have marketers, managers, and sales people working to promote ideas without any real understanding about the reason why those things were created. Many people simply don't care as long as their share values increase or if they make a paycheck, so there's even more of a barrier to meaningful answers to why in the he|| things exist, to determining real meaningful fixes to modern-day problems, and to why certain solutions are different than other things used to solve already over-complicated IT problems.

Life is better when it's more simple, simplifying things frees up time to innovate beyond just ideas that are geared towards making profit. The world would be a far better place if we began a shift towards bringing technology back down to earth, and if everyone would stop chasing the annual "tech leader supreme monopolistic empire douchebag" awards.

The multipliers are all relative and seldom in simple metrics such as lines of code.
If you wanted to inflate the numbers in a technically truthful way stick in a complete novice capable of preparing (so they are not negative) but not prepared for a complex field so their multiplier will be low. Use them as your 1X and even burnt out and demotivated employees who don't stand out could wind up performing 50x relative to them.
The typical SE path I'm familiar with looks like:

1. Write _anything_ that works. Dependencies, code quality don't matter. Code is idiosyncratic but can be understood by a reviewer.

2. Apply abstractions _everywhere_. Re-implement data structures and algorithms (maybe unknowingly). Code is now very hard to understand.

3. Figure out one is completely unable to update or even maintain code written 6 months ago. Rewritten code suddenly becomes clearer, one begins to think about programming as an craft and not just hacking things on a keyboard until you get the desired result. Dependencies, judicious comments, code quality and a sane terseness become important. The journey starts here.

Personally, step 1 was very short as I learned to program on the job. I was responsible for code, and so I needed to get it together quick. A language like Python makes 2 very easy, and 3 came very quickly too since, as I mentioned, I was responsible for the code (one man team).

I have met people who work at large institutions who are stuck at 1. Others with degrees in CS who are stuck at 2. Some just "get it" and go straight to 3. But typically, the real journey starts when you need to go on with work but your prior self is preventing you from being efficient. You need to get rid of that prior self's work to move on.
That's noteworthy. Do you have an archived url example? :O

Well, the wish is father to the thought. Connoisseurs of this sort of thing may remember that St. Martin's Press chickened out at the last minute and did not publish a book stating that the Bush boys had had a business flying drugs in from South America. It sounded implausible to me, but apparently not if you were zealous enough. Anyway, the publisher decided that it didn't want to risk the outcome of the lawsuit that would certainly have been brought.
If someone is actually planning to drive a route like that, be absolutely sure to check the conditions of the mountain passes in the US that you will cross. The linked route has you going over highway 2 and steven's pass, which right now is projected to get a ton of snow: https://wsdot.com/travel/real-time/mountainpasses/Stevens Typically travel over these passes requires snow chains in your car, and at times they can be entirely shut until snow removal can occur.
I wondered why our alerts started going nuts. Seems like basically every global Google Cloud load balancer went down. Doesn't seem to affect single-region network load balancers.

Edit: All of ours are back up. Some other services still seem down though.

Internal Google infra and GCP are different beasts. Sure some failure modes take both down but more likely than not they are independent.
It could also easily be used for phishing or IP logging purposes. Poor attempt though, almost everyone is now aware of unicode in domain names, and anyone techie enough would be able to spot it.

You can even get driver boards for them that take in a DVI/HDMI signal, which would allow you to run the whole thing off a single PC.

Nice work. I really admire your hardware setup. However it's worth adding that most of blooming plants will change their 'diet' during their flowering period. Some will continue to grow through the whole cycle on one mix and other (like tomato, cannabis) need some additional nutrients dj'ing. I've been growing succesfully 'passiflora edulis' in hydroponic setup for 3 years (continuously) and still I'm using hydroponic as a great kindergarden for most of my new plants.
I have things running on GCP that are OK. I think it's related to nameservers.
Funny enough, datadog, which I was using to investigate on of my vercel sites, is down too

Yeah, Vercel is running some GCP services it seems

Goooooood. I hate this thing with a passion since I had to set it up for a computer illiterate friend.
Do share your progress!
I tend to agree with the overall thrust of your argument and the conclusion you're driving toward, but it's at least interesting to note that the distribution model of the web puts unique pressure on tools to ship dramatically smaller payloads. In Go or Rust, we ship debug symbols in production builds by default (or whatever it is which give us stack traces on panic), but in JS sourcemaps typically aren't shipped in production builds because they are too bulky. Similarly, there are a litany of caching concerns which apply in the browser world but not natively.

I also think that invoking "C compilers did X" weakens your argument because the C build ecosystem is quite a lot worse than the JS ecosystem and without any good excuses (its ecosystem is not rapidly evolving, there is no distribution model putting comparable pressure on latency, etc).

But in general, I agree that there is a lot the JS world could learn from the native world.

Well that's a background color I haven't seen since 1999. It even messes with my eyes when I click back. To reader mode, with you.
You don’t have to be particularly intense to find value in a full fledged GPS. We just do a lot of day hikes and a few overnighters, and the 64st ($300-400) has been immensely valuable. Considering that the inreach eliminates the need for a separate rescue beacon, that’s a cost and weight savings. If you’re even more marginally intense than I, one of these is less a toy and more a life saving necessity.

Dedicated GPS units are faster, more reliable, and easier to keep going in the field than your phone. You’ll never have them display a blank square because you lost LTE and it didn’t buffer that map segment. A lot of them will also record your hikes for overlay onto Google Earth later, which is nice. I personally have a large number of the local hot springs recorded into mine, which is very important when they’re off road and off trail.
What are you switching to? The alternatives is a much worse browser Firefox, a botnet Google Chrome, or some weird chinese spy Opera.

Open up the google maps of BC and turn on satellite view and you'll see why. The whole province is all mountain with the only roads snaking through the few river valleys and mountain passes.

That said most of my friends with inreaches don't have the unlimited sms plan, and just budget the limited number for check-ins.
pretty sure if you follow their blog then you're pre-supposed to already have an interest in finance. and therefore should know the basic concept of QE. It's like expecting a programming blog to explain a for loop.

I guess, the MVP tracked which couriers are free and also would automatically assign a courier to a new order, depending on who was free.

If you have to send out an e-mail, you have to pick a recipient, therefore you have to know by yourself / look up manually which ones are free...
Rather than argue semantics, I'm just going to thank you for pointing out this person has other motivations for their position. I'd wondered why they go on such long anti-crypto rants.

1. Why don't passworded websites provide their own password generators? There's "secure" entropy generation available to JavaScript, e.g. `Crypto.getRandomValues(Uint8Array)`.

2. Shouldn't the only variable for password generation be entropy/information?

Here's a 256 bit password:

1NH8O3C3GH33FNQHM3B7VFKIQ95EMD-QLPOFPPYJ54NCFXMOB3

How could you know?

An easy way is to take the character set and convert the input string to binary. Once you reach a specified information level (say 256 bits), then the password could be considered sufficient.

1. It loads super quick

2. The list of articles is clear and easy to scan

3. There aren't a shit ton of adverts

4. There are no bloody popups, cookie notices, donate banners, etc.

5. The entire page doesn't load, me start reading then suddenly completely greyed out with an overlay because of badly implemented 4

6. No auto-playing videos that are impossible to find to stop

I'm still yet to understand how a lot of relatively poorly paid work that probably still needs to be done, gets done under UBI.

UBI leads to people not doing particular jobs because sitting at home on UBI with less but enough money is preferable. Which means those jobs have to pay more, which leads to inflation which leads to UBI raising to keep up with inflation... repeat?

I don't have one personally but if I did more solo hiking in more remote areas, especially in the Western US I'd probably break down and get one. Cell service isn't dependable and I'd likely convince myself that it was cheap insurance in the grand scheme of things.

Of course, people managed for a very long time without having the ability to call for help or check in and they generally were OK with that. (And calling for help doesn't mean that Superman is going to swoop in and pick you up anyway.) But they're probably a reasonable safety aid if you're somewhere that doesn't have reliable cell service.
