It’s probably a waste of time for an individual developer to write a one-off complicated regex for a contact form. A team of contributors to a standard library should be optimizing regex a bit more since doing so will save so many developers time vs using even a very simple one-off regex, when testing is accounted. The optimizations here are reasonable and internationally compatible.
What's the housing and rent situation like where you are? Do you need a car or is it generally a walkable place?
It's really surprising we've never seen another like it in the archaeological record. This is can't be the first thing of this nature that this craftsman ever made.
It's absolutely a no-go. The constitution says that the seat of the US government will not be a US state to prevent favoritism for said state. There are some pitches for greatly reducing "Washington DC" down to the smallest possible constitutionally allowed area, but I don't see that happening. Republicans will not allow another Democratic state into the union anytime soon.
Because they are human powered and not motorized. I think you'll find that I'm fairly consistent in my definition on non-motorized vs motorized.

Scott Sumner likes Mishkin's Economics of Money, Banking, and Financial Markets. If you're in USA, looks like you can get the 7th edition for around $10.

His blog is great. Mainstream, orthodox macroeconomics. Well written, useful, and entertaining. Read the whole thing, in chronological order:

* https://www.themoneyillusion.com/page/932/

I graduated with a B average in economics, so I can't address this head on, but here's my understanding of the mainstream perspective:

1. Never reason from a price change: Prices go up, therefore people buy less? To the contrary, this begs the question of, why did prices go up? The causation is backwards: demand goes up, and then prices respond.

2. For example: "Low interest rates are generally a sign that money has been tight, as in Japan; high interest rates, that money has been easy." -Milton Friedman. The demand for money goes up (for whatever reason), the fed responds by increasing the supply of money, then interest rates fall.

3. Interest rates and inflation are nominal, thus don't impact relative prices (ie price discovery). Deflation/hyperinflation do have real effects though.

4. High/low, easy/tight is relative to market expectations. Successfully targeting the interest rate (or NGDP/aggregate demand) isn't market "stimulation" but keeping things on track, in a do no harm manner. And deviating does harm (ie business cycles).

5. Mainstream macro says money is neutral in the long run, non neutral in the short run. This might be what you're looking for: the effect of short term non neutrality of money on relative prices across the overall economy.

So, if the downward pressure on DCF denominators is an economy wide phenomenon (ie inflation), then it's still the same say top 10% of businesses that survive. The missing link for me is: what's pushing up the value of inefficient businesses more than efficient businesses (or apples)? What distorts prices specifically and systematically in favor of inefficient businesses, vs. against or randomly/unpredictably?

Now, let me go off the rails a bit re: wealth inequality. I think it's mostly just technology. There's just more and more stuff every year, and that sort of accretion, mix and stir with meritocracy, kleptocracy, plain old statistical randomness, network effects, what-have-you, lead to not just more wealth inequality, but inequality in general, and really just more overall diversity.

The space of possibilities is just expanding at an incredible rate, together with the population, so there's a lot more room. And, I think it's natural for the distribution of people to be diffuse across the space. And, more people across a wider space, it's harder to consolidate, especially upward (eg Mao moved us in the wrong direction). Markets + technology do bring up the floor (hunger, shelter, etc), but we're still a ways off from the floor or the ceiling hitting our biological limits, ie post scarcity a la Iain M Banks' The Culture.
I wonder if there is a competitive component in this story. After all his AstraZeneca vaccine has fallen out of favour and Pfizer and Moderna are raking it in. First AZ had some complications and then the protection against omikron turned out to be negligible.

Not saying it's so but I do wonder if this factors into it. In particular I wonder if he'd been saying the same if he still had skin in the game.

I just got my third and I do notice it made me more sick than the first two. But overall I mind the vaccine much less long term than the masks and closures.
In my (limited) research into linked data, I saw that many newer projects now use https://w3id.org identifiers, which are managed via github pull requests to this repo: https://github.com/perma-id/w3id.org

The functionality is basically the same as PURLs.
See my exchange in another thread. Depends on who manages the land the trails are on. National Forest doesn’t allow them, but rangers don’t enforce it. National Wildlife Refuge allows them. County open space where I ride only bans gas powered vehicles. Bans of “motorized” vehicles enacted decades ago were intended to keep loud, polluting, fast, and heavy dirt bikes off trails. Electric motors that top out at under 20mph have been swept into this. Eventually, like mountain bikes, people will realize the bans make no sense and allow them.
On the flip side, I remember in the late 80s that pretty much every Mac disk had a virus on it thanks to fairly loose OS security in those days. I'm guessing that no more talking moose is the price we pay for not having to worry about getting a virus anytime something is put in the computer.
Otoh, some apartments save lives.
Early Facebook is one notable example.
Hold judgement against the dying until you’re dying.
what did everyone expect to happen? There were plenty sounding this alarm early on in lockdown.
> worrying about family members getting sick (possibly dying)

That was my point. Is what's hurting the kids having to stay home, and have Zoom meetings? Or is it the fact that they're literally living through a catastrophe? The former is nothing compared to the latter.
> Nobody knows that you ran a million other regressions in STATA, and kept the significant one.

Totally fair criticism and I agree with it. Not at all specific to econometrics though!

> Or that your result isn't robust when you excluded/included such-and-such variables.

100%! Also definitely not specific to econometrics.

> When research is motivated in a particular direction (as it often is in politics and consulting) ...

The CBO is non-partisan. I have more faith in them than that (unless you have inside information?). The whole tone of the specific report linked is very much "here is what we know and don't know and here is our best estimate, which has limits." That is research as it should be at its best. Litigation consulting is different.

> ... then you can often pull the levers and turn the dials until you get the result you want.

Here I don't agree. There are limits. It's not that as simple as that. I can't turn an estimated -5 into positive 500 just because I want to.
I'm not going to join on the outrage/mental illness bandwagon based on the media's interpretation of an email they are not releasing.

I'm guessing that the email is indeed anti-semitic, and I'm guessing that the media doesn't want to legitimize anything he's saying by publishing the entire email.

...but I'm not going to throw stones without seeing the evidence myself. This is the trade-off. Unfortunately, the media knows full well that accusations alone are all it takes these days - evidence is optional.
Wow that’s 3x the valuation of the last Clubhouse funding round.
So they walk their talk sure. Does that necessarily imply they have some perverse incentive to say this?
I think the deeper perspective with the original article and the book mentioned by parent is a sense of finding fulfillment in life’s struggles rather than just just blanket sadness.. it’s about finding peace or contentment through struggles. In that sense I think it’s a good thing to understand others and how they have found their version of piece through life's struggles. General idea could be group together as logotherapy- finding meaning to life.

> Yes, being rich doesn't guarantee happiness.

I have to be blunt here: this is plutocrat propaganda.

No? Because that's the saying. The saying isn't "being rich isn't better than being poor". It's literally "money doesn't buy happiness".

Your argument is literally a strawman argument. No one made the argument you are rebutting against.
> What work is there to do for me as someone who depends on a C library? Ignoring weird edge cases like OpenMP, it's trivial to write in my documentation "Depends on SDL v2" and add 'sdl2' to my libs array or whatever particular build system detail there is.

As someone who isn't overly familiar with the C ecosystem: suppose I want to depend on SDL2, and I want my code to work across windows, macOS and linux. What does a minimal build config look like (in a build system of your choice)? And how (as a second developer or on a second machine) would I then use that config assuming it was committed as part of the codebase?

>Because of everything you state: it is unpleasant to have to think about how you'll feed and house yourself. But it does not require riches (in western living context) to be able to stop worrying about that.

This is false. Let's look at at Brazil. The minimum wage is R$1212. According to DIEESE, the ideal minimum wage should be at least R$6000. This is a salary that would allow you not to worry about rent, food, recreation, education, transportation and overall a live a decent life.

If you are making R$6000, that puts you in the top 4% richest. Let that sink in, having a salary that allows you living with dignity means you're in the top 4%. Tell me again that riches are not required to live without worrying about food and housing.

Just for comparision, a senior software engineer in Brazil with 10+ years of experience is usually making something in between 8-15k/mo. That 15k/mo BRL salary is equivalent to 31k USD/year(assuming no taxes!).

I guess my point is that the USA does not fully represent the "western context", and people from first world countries usually have a very very skewed view on how life goes elsewhere.
America taxes its citizens globally, so they can't escape just by moving.
I gotta say the situation in politics in the US is so rancorous that no person with two brain cells to rub together would go into it unless they’re a pig that likes to wrestle in shit; who wants to go into that mess? Even Bernie gave into the identity politics out of necessity.

Our best and brightest are making money to buy fallout shelters in NZ or wherever.
Restaurants to not net 9% profit. Seriously - doesn't happen. Bars maybe, food? No.
“For the rest of the earth’s organisms, existence is relatively uncomplicated. Their lives are about three things: survival, reproduction, death—and nothing else. But we know too much to content ourselves with surviving, reproducing, dying—and nothing else. We know we are alive and know we will die. We also know we will suffer during our lives before suffering—slowly or quickly—as we draw near to death. This is the knowledge we “enjoy” as the most intelligent organisms to gush from the womb of nature. And being so, we feel shortchanged if there is nothing else for us than to survive, reproduce, and die. We want there to be more to it than that, or to think there is. This is the tragedy: Consciousness has forced us into the paradoxical position of striving to be unself-conscious of what we are—hunks of spoiling flesh on disintegrating bones.”

― Thomas Ligotti, The Conspiracy Against the Human Race
The first two you can't really negotiate (at least, with leverage).
I support complete free speech and also law. If some speeches are very bad for society make a law and enforce it. Otherwise it gives random group powers to accuse and persecute without a just trial.

All laws are human made and can be changed if society agrees. Even some kind of "canceling " can be part of law, if society wants to keep the absolute free speech.

From outside, if such emails can create violence then as a society we need to figure out how to develop more non violence in our culture other wise we will be just treating the symptoms and not the cause.

Edited part below:
On more thoughts, if a person is making an accusations without substantial proof, a similar accusations can be made against that person without substantial proof. I think that is fine. However will like that to be in the law and done by proper procedure. Allowing groups to act as mob is dangerous.
China's 'artificial sun' smashes 1000-second fusion world record
This also reminds me of the old joke:

But the truth is evolution installed the buttons in parents as well as installed instincts in the children enabling them to push those buttons whenever they need.
China has announced initial operation of the world's first small modular reactor, a HTR-PM [1] gas cooled reactor at Shidao Bay [2] [3].

This is the original announcement in Chinese:

https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/SRFkRR7iKyPseU68SLmDOQ

The key part of the announcement, translated:

On December 20, the No. 1 reactor of the demonstration project of the National Science and Technology Major Project Shidao Bay High-temperature Gas-cooled Reactor Nuclear Power Plant completed the initial load operation test evaluation of the generator and was successfully connected to the grid for the first time. This marks the world's first spherical-bed modular high-temperature gas-cooled reactor with the characteristics of the fourth generation of advanced nuclear energy systems.

I have a couple of anecdotes here. I was paid $3/hour when the state's minimum wage was around $8/hour (NC, 2010 or so) and the employer did make up those hours where it was < $8/hour with tips, although that was exceedingly rare (generally why front-facing food service workers don't like opening shifts).

Many of my friends now are restaurant workers and all of them are paid state minimum wage. I don't know if it's just California that doesn't allow wages below minimum even for tipped employees, but it was interesting to see the difference because it's a real boon to their pay. If it had been like that when I was in food service, I would've made $5/hour more which is not insignificant at those levels.
There are basically three levels of address checking:

1) You need to validate an email field for login or a website - checking for an @ mark with some text before and at least one . after the @ will do for this.

2) You need to do some sort of address validation, library regexps like this will do for 99.9...% of these.

3) You are building an email handling system which needs to actually support the RFCs, in which case regexp will not handle what you need, and you need to use a proper parser, like https://github.com/mikel/mail/tree/master/lib/mail/parsers

Being a founder seems to coincide with confidence, not qualifications.

I worked at a computer repair company in Sacramento where the CEO was openly racist and regularly verbally abused employees. Both he and his HR manager gave me death threats. HR manager also made an insanely racist remark about my Mexican wife.

I tried suing them after being forced onto permanent unpaid leave for all the laws they broke plus my in writing equity statement for a startup i was forced to work in while there. They hired the biggest defense first in California and stalled it out (they knew I was with a pro bono lawyer because they paid like shit)

> Indeed, there's nothing wrong with induced demand on its own. In any other market, more demand induced by lower costs (whether those costs be monetary or in the form of commute times) would almost certainly be a good thing.

The "purpose" of expanding lanes and building alterntae highways is to improve efficiency. For people living in a given area, reduce their time spent commuting. There is large economic cost to having large portions of your population spent 10+ of their waking time commuting to and from work each weekday.

The problem with induced demand is that yes you increase capacity and more people then move clogging up the roads until a similar equilibrum is reached as before. A much better option is both expanding the number of people that can commute by living further out, and reducing the per individual commute time by mass transit. That's the true goal.
The most helpful thing I've used in the real world is something that looks for common typographical errors, even if the email is technically valid.

Like, if the user types "john.doe@gnail.com", it pops a dialogue asking "Did you mean john.doe@gmail.com?". But lets them keep what they typed, or do a different fix if needed.

I found some JS called "mailcheck": https://github.com/mailcheck/mailcheck

I assume it's using popularity statistics, edit distance, etc, to come up with suggestions. There are updated clones that use react, vue, etc, instead of jquery.

With a working ecommerce site, this improved the percentage of correct emails more than anything else I tried, and I had tried many things. Because it's a bad situation when you've taken someone's money and have nothing other than a shipping address to contact them if something goes wrong (bad shipping address, out of stock situation, etc).
There’s a case to be made that crypto is the trojan horse that brings down the house. The utility we’ve all been waiting for is manifest in its futility, which serves as a weapon, a negation of the status quo, sucking in capital and attention like a black hole.
How is it false? Money doesn't buy happiness. Period. If you don't agree with that, then do you agree with the statement: "Not being in a war zone doesn't make you happy"? No? But I know a ton of people that moved out of a war zone and their lives were better! Therefore, if you don't live in a war zone, you MUST be happy.

Anyone who doesn't live in a war zone and claims they aren't happy is literally telling the biggest lie ever told.
It's amazing how unself-consciously this was said. As if "pumping bags" has no negative consequences for others.

Leetcode has taught me that I'm a bad engineer
Just like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26468248, I give up.

I've been at it intensively for a couple months and my mind simply refuses to cooperate. If anything, after having done 400+ problems I seem to be worse at them than when I started.

Since your time is more valuable than mine, let me summarize:

7+ YoE, MSc. in some science (like it matters)

Last 4 years been mostly ETL with Spark and some backend thrown into the mix with a "senior" title for devops and mentoring noobs.

I used to think this job was a creative one, since writing frameworks and libraries for further use, documenting code and extreme programming made me think that I was building something new and useful.

In fact, due to having extreme ADHD the only thing that kept me distracted during all my overtime was the ability to pursue fun and challenging things. MPP and all the cool stuff you can do with modern tools is fun, interesting and challenging.

Leetcode isn't about fun and challenging things, it's about thinking in one particular way, spitting out solutions using the same exact data structures and jumping through hoops on command without philosophizing or creating anything that can be reused/extended.

This is also what Software Engineering has become: you memorize, regurgitate and participate in agile the masquerade. Creativity is shunned. Tried architectures/patterns are what is expected.

I wish I had practiced law for the past 7ish years instead, because at least all of my skills would still be relevant.

Then the real question is whether you believe there is any hope or even precedent of efficient government administration and spending. I personally believe not and that government, especially on a broad federal level, will inherently tend to be inefficient, bureaucratic, and corrupt. If so, wouldn't a swing right towards small government be ideal?
Get a Reuben from Katz's Delicatessen in New York City and tell me it ain't worth $22.

Sometimes I fly from Dallas to New York just to get one. Whenever the price for tickets goes down below $100 for a weekend round-trip flight, I snag a ticket and fly up there just to eat at Katz's.

1. Viewing faces is extremely important for cognitive development. With teachers masked 24/7 young children are not getting important information from their educators and caretakers throughout a critical period of their development. I don't have time to pull all the studies on this, but here's one focused on babies: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7598570/

2. Speak for yourself. If my young child was forced to eat lunch outside of the cafeteria in freezing temperatures I'd be furious. And infants left outside are bundled up—they're not manipulating food and placing it into their mouths.

3. I tend to care about all people and seek the best outcomes for everyone whenever possible. My bad, I guess.
