History just shows that the insanity of not being able to represent a saturated market (negative interest) with your money system leads to war where people try to get rid of market saturation.

The broken window fallacy is an answer to getting positive interest in an economy that isn't growing. They are both equally illogical and for the same reason.

The idea of a god given right to 0% interest is the reason why currencies collapse and Bitcoin is sharing that flaw instead of getting rid of it.
Narrowing the solution space makes sense. "I don't see how we can apply a DFS to this problem, so let me see if I can use a hash".
Mendeley changes certain fields on import to always download its abstract PDF as the reference paper with a link to its paywall. In essence, those things are PDF archivers and citation managers rolled into one. If I were to send you my latest research and you'd import it into Zotero, you'd get a managed citation and my paper. In Mendeley you'd get a managed citation and a downloaded abstract version with CrossRef to their paywall.

The reason this happens is Elsevier's business model. And this business model both really wrecked Mendeley and, I believe, contributes to medical misinformation being more dominant in the world.
I'm just imagining this rule meaning the only printer you can buy is the one from Office Space. Beating the crap out of a machine counts as tearing it down, right?
The U.S. was economically recovering from World War 2, the Great Depression, and other things. Most working class Americans had a hard time affording food because of that. So, it was not like they could easily get away from being skinny, anorexic, etc. during that time. They were too busy saving or investing money for their bills, children's futures, and careers to improve the U.S. economically before younger generations got spoiled rotten by America's improved economy. Now, the younger generations of America today are barely affording food because of increasing wealth inequality, increasing cost of living, and decaying infrastructure decades ago. So, working class Americans are economically screwed again, but it is to benefit antisocially greedy oligarchs only. So, you better expect skinny people, anorexic people, and starving people to become a bigger population in the U.S. The ruling class in America are kind of doing what Nazis did to Jews in concentration camps by starving them to death. Except America is the concentration camp for working class slaves with the illusion of freedom disguised as the democratic party, republican party, human rights, etc. Overall, the ruling class has exclusively cut-throat power that lets rich men live in luxury during this pandemic while working class Americans suffer more with each new year rather than suffering less with each new year.
Good stuff. A couple of comments to the post:

Rate limiter: I would probably use a hash table of this structure -- called[yyyy-mm-dd][hh-mm] and then increment the hashtable for that minute, for example, called[2022-01-02][22-01]++ and drop any entries for the last day at the end of the day.

Post doesn't mention this, but one other common pattern I've seen requires a tree data structure, and those interview questions can be solved with recursion. Basically once you have a tree data structure, you write a f(node) that will simply call f(left) & f(right) recursively -- or for-each(child in children) { f(child) } for non-binary trees.
"negative short" = "short short" = "long". Something tells me that

I think your assumption is very wrong. COVID is a leading cause of death for Americans in the 18-64 age group in the US. The IFR is irrelevant when counting the dead.
A book I generally like and agree with, David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs, I find reads better as his original essay. I suspect many books get made this way where content originally starts as a good essay or blog post, but then to fit the requirements of book media, need to be blown up, at costs in time for both the author and audience (& resources for dead trees+transport+storage, if in print).

> I'll allow it. ABI compliance is a very good reason for "wasting" 3 bytes of code, and should arguably be added to our original assembly program

I guess we all have some set of scope creep that we take as OK. ABI compliance for some, GC or other niceties for others, and then there is anything node/electron based.
> The fact that the author finds this "strange" tells me that they don't understand that the artificial restrictions are designed to make money.

Author here! Of course I'm aware.

> it lowers the artificial value of the digital real estate. If the people making boatloads of money were unhappy with the current situation, it would change.

I'm making an argument about long term value versus short term value. Using digital real estate to make a bunch of short term cash? Excellent (if ethically suspect) business model.

Using digital real estate to make a long-lasting UGC platform where you expect players to create value for you? Seems undercooked.
This is a 6x6 box geez. I’m not building a house.
That's a great tip, thanks.
What a misleading title from phoronix. It doesn’t reduce build times by 50-80%, but rather increases build rate by 50-80%. There is a big difference between the two.
I heard an article on the radio the other day (BBC) about some researcher developing meta data standards to embed bibliography data into PDFs. Basically stash the relevant refs from your bibtex (or other) database into the PDF in a machine readable way and develop open source tools to parse that and allow navigation to online or local sources. Seems like a pretty good idea. But I can't remember who it was / what it's called. Anyone?
OWASP Slack may be a good place to ask. In my experience the quality of answers there is pretty high: https://owasp.org/slack/invite

YMMV though.
But also, the subset of people who died from Covid is almost certainly not akin to a random sample from the broader population of the age cohort (and therefore not a subset which you could apply those life expectancy averages to).

Novel reading, it was 'the womenfolk are spending their time with ~frivolous~ novels instead of caring for their children and reading the BIBLE as God intended', and bicycling was 'the womenfolk are wearing pants to cycle and traveling without a male escort! I say!'

Yeah, I’ve considered that, but if you end up doing many Home Depot runs the sacrifice can save you a few bucks. I could also have planned better. :-)
> If you use your example and search for "hip replacement", or any "what are the signs" variation, you get all of the content free SEO spam farms specifically catered to returning useless garbage to medical queries, but no informational academic/government/ngo health sites.

I did do the hip replacement search and got no spam and all medical organizations.

I just tried "what are the signs I need a..." and chose the first completion of "pacemaker". That also had very high quality results from government health orgs, medical associations, Mayo and Cleveland clinics, healthgrades (looks ok), and a nice list pulled from Vein, Heart and Vascular Institute.

Do you have a specific search that has bad results?
> Dealer's know about the sunk-cost fallacy. Very few people are going to walk away from that new truck that they were so enthusiastic about put down $5k to reserve it.

> Dealerships are typically a low-margin business, and probably negative margin during the early part of the pandemic. An e-truck is probably going to last 10+ years and rarely go to the dealer service dept. (the high margin part of the business).

> So if you ran a dealership, and you knew that the market price for this e-truck was much higher than MSRP, and you aren't going to make anything on the back-end with dealer service, and you've been starving for many months, what would you do? Leave the money on the table? Worry that your customer won't return sometime in the next 3-10 years, long after the sting of being forced to pay market price wears off?

Feel free to clarify, but I find your post self-contradictory. If customers don't walk away, then the dealers gain _no_ money by doing this since the money goes to the purchase. They only gain money if customers pull out and leave the reservation money with the dealer. So if dealers believe that customers will view this as a sunk cost, the only rational thing for them to do is in fact to offer to return the money.
You're talking about what are called Agglomeration effects, which are highly dependent upon transportation methods (this is covered in the article).

If you can teleport any time to any place instantly for free, then where you are matters a lot less. If transportation has costs and limitations, where you are matters a lot more.
> [This patch series] decouples much of the high level headers from others, uninlining of unnecessary functions, a decoupling of the type and API headers, automated dependency handling of header files, and a variety of other changes

That's a lot more than "shaving the build time."

As far as I understand it, the goal of this patchset isn't to improve the build time; that's just a nice consequence. The goal was to refactor the header-file hierarchy to make it more maintainable and less "brittle." Sometimes, increasing maintainability requires more code. (Almost always, if the current version is a terse mess of mixed concerns.)

Think of it this way: take an IOCCC entry, and de-obfuscate it. You're "increasing the size of the codebase." You might even be "duplicating" some things (e.g. magic constants that were forcefully squashed together because they happened to share a value, which are now separate constants per semantic meaning.) But doing this obviously increases the maintainability of the code.
>Central banks can create infinite units arbitrarily.

They literally cannot. Central bank reserves aren't money in the sense of legal tender. Only borrowers can "create" money and they create an equal debt in the process which means all money in existence will have to disappear one day. Money has zero value throughout the entire process, the provider of value is the borrower, human being made out of flesh and blood.

It's like matter and anti matter that balance each other out.
Kudos to getting this out. I can't imagine working on a series of patches for 2 years for build cleanups/speedups on a separate branch, having to periodically rebase against master and throwing away my work 3 times in order to figure out how to do it correctly. At any company I have worked for, I would have been fired for being unproductive/afraid of making changes.

How many Covid-related? How many drug overdoses? How many suicides?
Those countries are lacking basic healthcare standards and infrastructure. I doubt that lack of diagnosis due to understaffing is the bottleneck.
The Narnia books are children's novels. If there is plenty of adventure & discovery, some emotionally attractive places for little readers to self-insert, and a few simple moral lessons, that's generally sufficient. Careful & logical world-building won't sell more children's books. Nor will refusing to write another volume in the series, when you're badly short on good ideas for one.

EVE Online is referenced in this very article! They had a digital housing crisis and solved it with a digital land value tax (of sorts). That was a long time ago, though.

The current state of EVE sees "land" (read: turf) apportioned by violence, which actually is a very crude (and violent) approximation of Harberger taxes! You must constantly pay something to defend your territory, and that scales with how valuable it is, because others will make escalating bids -- denominated in violence -- to acquire your land from you. So you want to pay enough to defend it without paying so much its no longer worth holding. I'm working on a policy paper about digital real estate and I'm calling this method "Blood taxes" with EVE as the central example.
I have the same response to this as I do to every other lisp article. It’s cool, but how have you personally leveraged this advantage that everyone talks about? What big lisp project has the author contributed to, such that they have enough data to sing it’s praises?
Playing devil's advocate here but can't machine learning be used to remove noise rather than add detail? Removing noise would reveal detail hidden in the data kind of like the result you get after applying a spectral filter to a fourier transformed image. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2K1JfNR7Sc
Sure. But as stated previously, even a basic hello world go program does use the runtime.
For a couple of items I turned to Reddit for some guidance to narrow things down ...
First time I've been to Tokyo several years back and the train networks is what amused me most about Tokyo and Japan in general. I've tried most of the trains in Japan using the heavily discounted tourist Japan Rail Pass (not available for local) including the the Sunrise train for overnight or sleeper train [1]. The private cabin of sleeper train is not covered by the Japan Rail Pass only the open cabin Nobi-Nobi seats but it's really worth it because the hotels in Japan are very expensive. The pass also excludes the fastest Shinkansen Nozomi trains.

For travelling with train (or any public transports in Japan) you can just use Google Maps and it's really Google Maps in steroid in Japan. You will know accurately in real-time all the trains and buses, and their respective arrival/departure times and even their rare occasional delays. All these real-time information are feasible because Japan contracted Hitachi company to provide the info trough the open API for other developers to access and it's very accurate. With Google Maps capabilities the integration with the real-time is just mind blowing to be experienced by any tourist, especially the Japan trains networks extreme timeliness.

I really wish someone come up with a VR or meta based game for tourist in Japan for buying souvenirs. This type of game was my favourite towards the end of 80s for shopping in London using the London Tube trains back in the Windows 2 time. It's only text based game and not real-time but it was an awesome gaming experiences nonetheless. Somehow I've forgotten the name of the game, but I think with all the 3D and real-time information available it will be a blast for the modern incarnation of the tourist souvenirs game to be based in Tokyo, or London.
> It's perfectly valid for the OS to swap your program instructions to disk, and then take seconds or even minutes to load it back.

It’s not valid to swap your program instructions to disk if you call mlock() on your executable pages. Indeed, performance sensitive applications do just that. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/mlock.2.html

> It's effectively impossible to avoid depending on what you call "luck". The OS does not provide nearly enough guarantees to build useful interactive applications without also depending on other reasonable performance expectations.

This is all self-evidently false. You likely wrote your comment on a POSIX-based interactive application. It just takes knowledge of how the system works and what the specifications are. Well-designed programs are hard to come by but they do exist.
The solution described in the article is likely to be extremely wasteful in both time and memory, by allocating a queue entry for each call, and then O(n) scanning and dropping stale entries on each successive call.

Tabulating call count by division(s) of time would be less obviously problematic.

Can you elaborate? I am not sure what you mean.
You know when you read an article in a newspaper written by a generalist journalist about a specialist topic in which you are an expert? This.
It's the same as Matthias Wandel on YouTube. Ignores decades of knowledge and tomes of wisdom in favour of an 'engineering approach', which is to say trial and lots of error.
Agreed. One thing is military presence, either hybrid or “protecting Russian nationals” in the disputed regions (self proclaimed peace-keepers). Another is going to Kiev. Going by Mr. Schiff’s quote “further invade” that seems like a reasonable assumption as to where the line is drawn.

"shouldn't" is ambiguous as it might suggest the responsibility is with the the user of eBPF rather than internal to it.

Perhaps "is designed not to" but that's a mouthful.

“Automated dependency addition to .h and .c files. This is about 790 commits, which are strictly limited to trivial addition of header dependencies. These patches make indirect dependencies explicit, and thus prepare the tree for aggressive removal of cross-dependencies from headers.”
How would you enforce energy efficiency mandates on blockchains? We do it with fridges, why not with Bitcoin? E.g. a single transaction may not consume more than 100kWh of energy.

"The failure to identify any such natural source of the virus within six months despite intensive searches really put the Wuhan lab leak theory back on the front burner"

We have had to look for the reservoir animal for Ebola for decades before having a viable candidate. On that scale six months is a very short time.
Did a brief scan of the repo. Looks like a lot of it comes from adding new headers. This commit adds +#include <linux/wait_api.h> to 1627 files for instance.

Except if like a great many in the U.S., your only source of nearby groceries within reasonable walking distance is a gas station. In that case a bag of Doritos is $40+ cheaper than hiring a cab to take you to the grocery store and back for a bag of beans and rice. Also saves you a couple of hours of travel and cooking.

When I was younger even though I lived on a major street downtown in a city, there were no grocery stores around. Plenty of fast food restaurants with $1 menus though. Cheap, quick, and easy, but not all that healthy. Actual grocery shopping was a once or twice a month thing - bus ride out to the store in the strip mall, cab ride back, 2+ hours total and a lot of money.

One of the things I love about my house now is that there's a full grocery store right at the end of the street (along with other stores and a restaurant a block over). But most people don't have that.
> I can think of lots of reasons why it was made: sorting ints is fast, storing them is compact, etc.

Of course, but in that case you would just store it as a normal date/timestamp value, e.g. ms or sec or heck even days since the epoch, truncated to days. Formatting it as a format string and then converting to an int is the part that's so weird.
Sure, the hypocrisy is a problem.

I remember in Seattle in the mid-90s just as the housing market there was starting to take off hearing a radio talk show where someone was complaining about Californians coming to WA and "ruining things" by bidding up housing costs. The host pointed out that it takes two to tango, and that the sellers were just as implicated in the process as the buyers. The caller got very flustered and then said "well, yeah, but it would be un-American to accept anything except the highest price".

Sigh.
I'd rather not promote a business model of bloating 10-20 pages of information into 200-300 pages to justify selling a book.

I am surprised to see what I consider to be the most important part of signed integers in C and C++ only barely mentioned:

>use of signed integers is better as it’s the only way you can get trap behavior for integers, as using it on unsigned would trigger trap representations for valid code that relies on that behavior.

For video and audio codec code, and really anything integer math heavy, being able to use UBSan to find overflows is a hugely beneficial tool, and something you can normally only do with signed integers due to the C spec (it's less of an issue in Rust as that language makes both signed and unsigned overflow illegal).

>Trap representations are actually quite insufficient as they can only trigger at runtime when those paths are successfully executed with the correct trap-producing inputs. This coverage is impossible to expect in any non-trivial program even with exhaustive unit testing.

This was true before fuzzers existed, but now that we have several very good fuzzer implementations (plus a few smart unit tests), the coverage is well within reach.

I feel like this is the only area where Google search is still decent, but anything after the first page, maybe second is like literally nonsense.
