I'm pretty sure his theory is that the whole discussion about cannabis is a distraction from other political topics, i.e. that our new Kanzler was one of the people responsible for the biggest corruption scandal in Germanys history (Google his name + CumEx) and other similar stuff.

It's not so much what people are gonna do once it's passed and more about what controversial topics they can raise so people don't pay attention to other things.

I personally have never had a worse outlook on Germanys political future. This will show any politician that they don't have to worry about anything and keep enriching themselves with no recourse to speak of.
You want it to fail or you want to be right? Nothing wrong with wanting to be right. If Tesla stays at a crazy high valuation for the long term, then several mental models I use and find valuable fall to pieces.

Perhaps for some specific use cases, but certainly not for others. I also suspect moving from a fairly broad "stdlib" and somewhat curated 3rd party packages to the wild west of npm might be a barrier for many.
According to the McKinsey study mentioned in the article[a]:

* Two-thirds of global paper wealth is tied up in real estate valuations (residential and commercial).

* Paper wealth is now nearly 50% higher (!) than its long-run average relative to income, globally.

* Paper wealth and economic growth are no longer moving in sync, as they had in the past for a long time at the global level, albeit with some country-specific deviations.

Asset prices around the world, including property prices, are now in unprecedented territory; there is no doubt about that.

There are many possible explanations for this deviation from long-term norms, but they come broadly from two camps. In one camp are those who are not sure why they should even worry about this, because they believe the global economy is about to shift to much faster economic growth, driven by new technologies like AI, quantum computing, cheap sustainable energy, and space exploration. In the other camp are those who are quite concerned about the financial, economic, and political consequences if paper wealth reverts to historical norms in relation to global income.

Some of the smartest people I know are either in one camp or the other, with little overlap between camps. My perception is that there's no shared agreement as to what any of this means, or whether anything should be done about it.

True, but then VS is a commercial product and a fairly expensive one. Seems like there are no automatic regression tests at all. Basic functions breaks all the time. Just a very poor quality piece of software for being a software targeting developers.
Storing wealth doesn't redirect capital away from businesses. It represents the possessor deciding to temporarily step away from the continuous auction process to allocate productive capacity ("the market") which increases the purchasing power of those who remain, to either invest in capital goods or consumable goods. Buying monetized assets (real estate, gold, bitcoin) is not economically harmful - in fact, it's better than reflexively buying index funds, which is basically the other option.
I do think there is room for nuance.

I learned to code like you suggest. I started with C, in vi, I learned it from the words of Kernighan and Ritchie and I had no forums or syntax highlighting or anything to hold my hands, and when stuff didn't work, I got compiler error messages so obtuse they might as well have been in Linear B, I walked uphill both ways and it was -40 and blizzard even in the summer. I do absolutely concede the type of language-understanding and skill set this promotes does make you a better developer.

However.

I do not think that stubbornly refusing to use an IDE makes you a better developer. A good IDE is powerful, and can be a real force multiplier that makes you able to work with much larger systems and significantly cuts down on the amount of time you spend doing menial repetitive typing.

You can absolutely subsist on the simplest of tools, but you can absolutely do more with the more powerful ones.
Well. Typically I review the code and say “what kind of twisted sadistic prick wrote this” and then realize that it was me 5 months ago. It’s amazing the level a detail a person can drill into when it’s the locus of focus, and amazing how quickly context is forgotten.

If it's something simple (and it sounds like it is) then I would strongly recommend just making a single parser library that you use in both the language server and CLI. That's what I've done for my RPC format.

I used Nom. Even though it's not incremental, parsing is easily fast enough to just reparse the entire document on each change.

An alternative is to just use Tree Sitter as your parser for the CLI too. You won't use the incremental parsing feature in the CLI but that's fine.

Supporting IntelliJ may be tricky but there is a WIP plugin that adds LSP support.
Right. And I'm saying that is because engineers don't want the responsibility that they often request because the entire point of PM's existence is offloading that responsibility. They seem more than happy to complain about it though

If everyone lived with their siblings in the same house they grew up in, we wouldn't have a problem.

As is, people have children who occupy a cumulative more houses with or without others than their parents/grandparents did, and there's not more land being made. So that's why the old land and what's on it go up in value.

Basically, the increasing population (demand) is the cause of an asset increasing in value despite not increasing in quality.

One can make policies which reduces the number people who wish to use homes in the domestic market of a given country if they want to prevent that from happening without expanding the supply massively instead, that may lead to other negative externalities though based on which method is chosen (birth limits, immigration controls, ect.).
That is a rather superficial "narrative" article that ignores the major impact of industrialization on culture. It is not Western vs. Eastern cultures, it is pre-industrial vs. industrial cultures. Obviously, within those two big clusters there are differences, the point is that those differences are dwarfed by the industrialization variable.

>It's perfectly relevant. Tests are used all the time to gauge mastery of a topic.

I think you must just be extremely mistaken on what people are talking about then. I can't understand why you think that anyone is calling for pilots not to be given tests.

>It's not at all irrelevant. When you've mastered something, it doesn't take long to produce the answer. For example, the better at math I got, the faster I could answer the questions. If it takes one an hour to multiply 123x456, one is reinventing multiplication rather than knowing multiplication.

You aren't everyone though. Some people get major test anxiety, some people are good at doing math but bad at memorizing equations.

Just call a spade a spade. Do we care about how fast a student can do 10 math problems? Or do we care that the student can do the 10 math problems? Those are just different things. Most people only care if the student can do the 10 math problems.

>Mastery and speed are strongly correlated.

But speed is irrelevant to mastery. You can master a skill without doing it as quickly as others.

> But the students hated them. There was always the temptation to do more on them, and the students wanted an end to it, as they had lots of classes with exams.

That sounds like a personal problem. Probably because they grew up taking tests that were more about memorization and regurgitation than they are about recognizing when you've answered a question completely.

At the end of the day it comes down what are metric for success is. If you can cram for a test, that is a good indication that the test is mostly a test of your ability to regurgitate answers. If two students can get 100% on a math test, and one student takes an hour and the other takes an hour and half, most people would consider them both proficient on those math questions.

You, for whatever reason, think speed at answering questions is important. Lots of others, including most people who study education, don't share that view.

The Bruno Chief Of Police series, just fun stories about a cop in rural France. Really enjoyed them and made for some great reads.

Clash of Eagles Trilogy – I LOVED this series, such a cool concept, historical fiction but reimagined as if Rome survived into the 1200s and lands in Native America to face off against the Native Americans. Then, their nemesis the Mongols arrive on the other coast.

The Last Watch – Great space sci fi read. Book 2 wasn't quite as good, but looking forward to 3.

Eagles of the Empire Historical Fiction series - Imagine lethal weapon but with two fantastic characters in the Roman legion.
I disagree with this.

I consider the human eye a camera. It also saves videos in a storage medium that doesn't permit deletion. I don't distinguish between a silicon-based camera and a carbon-based camera. To me they're just different rows of the periodic table.

In fact I even hope to think that one day silicon-based cameras can be used to restore vision to carbon-based beings that have non-functioning carbon-based cameras. To that extent even if I have functioning carbon-based cameras, having a silicon-based camera attached to my body is just an extension of my body and you most certainly do not have the right of access to the memories it records, regardless of whether those memories are stored in neurons or in an SD card (even that detail is not your right to know; I could have had a flash memory implant in my brain and it would be a HIPAA violation if you demanded to know what implants I have).

To ban silicon-based cameras is a gross ADA violation. To demand to know exactly by what mechanism videos are stored is a HIPAA violation. If you want to ban recording you might as well blindfold everyone while you're at it.

Budget actions work by applying an Deny All to IAM, which has essentially exactly that.

A loan is an asset to the person that made the loan. Yes some of the rich use leverage to increase the amounts they can put towards assets / lend out. In general though they are still net lenders.

For example it is very unlikely that a rich person with 100mil would take out additional leverage for another 50mil and let that 150mil just sit in cash. Doing that would make them a net borrower (of 50mil).

Instead, they will invest that 150mil, suppose they decide to buy a bundle of mortgage-backed securities. They now have an asset worth 150mil, and via the txn they are effectively lending 150mil worth of value to homeowners. Even with the 50mil loan, they are still a 100mil net lender.
That particular cure is far worse than the disease.

On the contrary, it’s demographics. If you had any land, as long as more people want to live on it, the price goes up. If there are more people full stop, land goes up more, because there’s more people to at the bid.

Now whether anyone should be allowed to own land is a good question. Lots of folks can’t even imagine a world where that’s impossible, but ownership is just law, a social construct.

> “consent” implies permission, and the word permission implies some type of authority. In the case of photography in public there is no authority so no consent is needed.

that's not true. there are plenty of anti vaxxers in Israel who have not been vaccinated. With that said, people who want to work (and have to work from an office setting) would have to pay for a test every 72 hours or so out of their own pocket. Of course if work from home, less of an issue. So, they've made it difficult for people to live their lives without being vaxxed, but they haven't put a gun to anyone's head or thrown anyone in jail for the simple act of not being vaccinated.
Only if population grows. Land will depreciate if there are less people to live on it.
There are nuances, but at it's core either it was valid for them to make that appeal and it is valid for us to request their credentials (which is essentially an appeal to authority--"who has the better credentials?"), or it was not valid for them to make that appeal and it is not valid for us to request their credentials. I lean towards the latter view.

Logical mistakes don't weaken a person's entire argument (we don't want to just see who's "winning"), or even weaken the line of reasoning they were invoked to support -- they just fail to provide evidence.

One of the parties called into question the validity of a paper the other party posted, and the other party rebutted by implying that as the director of an established institution, the paper's author has something to lose. I find that argument weak, but the initial questioning of validity also provided no evidence or made any strong arguments as to why the paper was not valid.

Appeals to authority are useful not as logical arguments but as a way to avoid wasting time on drivel, and I don't believe that to be the case here.

>It's not just NAT, you may also need split DNS, and it's a constant drag on everything because you keep needing to map between two sets of addresses. And it gets way harder when you have multiple or large companies involved, because you do start running out of RFC1918 space.

You won't get any argument from me about the utility of IPv6 over IPv4.

I just pointed out that the scenario presented is workable with IPv4 -- in fact, I've done it more than once.

Sometimes you don't get the choice as to what IP version or addressing scheme you use. Not every environment is a "green field."

Back in the early 'teens, when we contracted/partnered with others that had overlapping IPv4 ranges, if I'd told my boss that "it would be so much easier to do this if we were native IPv6. Given me three-six months to migrate the routers at our dozen locations to dual-stack, replacing any equipment (don't worry, that'll cost less than $250,000) that can't support IPv6, then renumber our dozen class B's, re-implement our 802.1x infrastructure, reorganize our firewall policies and the myriad other tasks we need to do to migrate away from IPv4. By the way, I'll pretty much be engaged in this full-time, so you may need to hire a couple guys to do the work I'd otherwise be doing. And don't forget to tell the C-suite that they can't have the application access they wanted until this is all done."

I suppose I could have said that to my boss. But rather than doing that, then updating my resume as I'd probably have had a lot of extra time on my hands, I said "I'll make it happen. Please give me the contact info for my counterpart at the other organization."
Apologies if my original comment wasn't clear. Fast-acting Lactase is something you take with every serving of dairy. The Bactose product that this post is about says the following

"Long lasting effects
Bactose™ will continue to thrive digesting lactose for the whole month, individual results may vary."

I was trying to say that the Bactose product's "long-lasting" claim falls a bit flat when you realize it only lasts a month. If I could take some pills for a week and then be set for 6-months or a year, yea, I might drop $40 on it.
