I'm not that young anymore, but I think for most people there are two worlds. Online, most people either keep their head down or go hard at conforming with the/a mainstream (which usually ends up as a very unsubtle polarized view).

In real life though, most people still do have more subtle views, including nonconformist ones with respect to the online caricature of their peer group. You just have to be friends with them to hear their actual views, because they are too afraid (or simply disinterested) to express them publically. The bigger problem is that we (especially politicians and media) equate the digital world with real life.
Nope.

Inflation is the best thing that can happen to you if you owe highly leveraged debt on appreciating assets. The more debt the better.

Your debt payments stay stable, the asset price goes up, your wages go up, and within a few years the payments are negligible compared to your salary.

Compare this to a renter - your rental payments go up, your wages go up.
> As a result, I buy batteries not based on electrical performance, but track record in not ruining the things I put them into.

So do I. I'm now using low self-discharge NiMH batteries (mostly Eneloops) in pretty much every device that uses batteries, and I've never had one leak. I also use smart chargers to check battery health when I recharge them. A bit more initial outlay, but much cheaper in the long run, as the batteries can be recharged 1000s of times, and they hold their charge for many months.
I see you're being downvoted; I suspect OP is sarcastically referring to the "dog in a burning kitchen" meme..
Shelter is a necessity. If you rented out your primary residence, you would then need to rent yourself, so if rent goes up everywhere then increase in rent prices is a wash.
I don't understand this. How / why is near-historic data being changed? Got any more material on this?
You gotta know how to negotiate with these crystal city buildings - mainly by just moving from one to another yearly. Sometimes just changing apt in the same building with the new lease is cheaper than staying in current one.
Absolutely. Anyone who goes around saying the solution to the housing crisis is to get low-income families into homes so they can build wealth, which is every American politician without exception, is talking out both sides of their mouth.
I think it's worth talking about a couple downsides of a search-based interface:

Speed: Search-based puts a floor on how fast an interaction can be. "Button Syndrome" interfaces are a slow "hunt and peck" for new users, but experienced users can use them extremely fast, building up muscle memory so they don't even need to consciously think about the action they're taking. Imagine piloting an F35 with a search-based interface.

Discoverability: Buttons make it explicit what functionality is offered by the product... somewhat. Users may not know exactly what a button does, but they can make an educated guess based on labeling and context, and it gives them a jumping off point to experiment with it or find it in the documentation. With search-base interfaces, there's no natural way for a user to discover functionality they aren't aware of. Worse, a user may remember a function exists but forget the terminology, flailing in the search box guessing different terms.

This is not to say search-based interfaces are bad. There are mitigations to the downsides (the article mentions a few, like search suggestions), plenty of upsides to go along with it, and let's not pretend that button-based interfaces are all sunshine and rainbows. I only mean to say that these are things that should be considered.

I think the broader takeaway of the article is: Always be thinking holistically. It's important to consider how your users interact with your product as a whole, not just the individual features. Also important to consider how different users of varying experience with the product and the domain will feel with the UI—Often features for "power users" come at the expense of new users or vice versa.

That all makes sense. I have an old laptop which I'm currently using as a central server, and I _think_ will be powerful enough to run the server, so my main goal will be figuring out the satellites.

Seems like just getting a pi zero is going to be the first main challenge.
That isn't realistically fixable unless companies are really willing to invest a lot more in testing. Most companies don't even have any user testing for products beyond what devs do on their own machines.
Perhaps we should also swap rent increases for living with additional roommates, clearly consumers are choosing more communal living situations and we can thus discount rent price increases as well. Just like we took home prices out of CPI

If we get to choose which categories get excluded from CPI after every bad report it ceases to be a good metric.

Every technology has pros and cons. The pro here is that some blog about corruption can't be knocked offline by some government authority lest they block the entire network, which would be a problem if any businesses use such a decentralized network for their own means. The con is that everything is immutable and unchangeable, and that has consequences - for reference, despite that the story about CP being on Bitcoin is false[0], it's definitely possible if anyone ever wanted to spend a few hundred thousands in gas fees to store an arbitrary jpeg on ethereum.

That's unfortunate, and I think your experience reflects most places I've worked at too. It doesn't have to be that way though; technical leadership on a team can choose to care about this kind of thing and coach their colleagues into caring more about writing communicative commit messages.

Well, sure. They could make owning a computer illegal, or whatever. Anything outside your skull is censorable. The readme doesn't pretend that this works if you can't access the Handshake chain.
Well there are only a few main groups, and if we generally expect that some will respond faster than others, I'd say two or three going up would be quite indicative of general inflation. It seems like food, energy, and commodities (less food and energy) have gone up at different rates. The only major group that's been relatively stable (still about 4%) is services, and it seems likely that it's because many of them have been made illegal/unattractive for many recent months.

I did not have a bad experience with religion growing up (I had little/no experience with religion growing up), but the manipulation I'm referencing is available for anyone to read about, as the history of the Catholic church is not private information.

The beauty in Christianity is co-opted and stolen from the beauty of the universe in an effort to control others. Very little about Christianity is uniquely beautiful, in my opinion.

Pretending that the law trumps all technology is as naive as pretending technology trumps all law. No extreme is true: you can build technological problems to solve many social or political problems (example: VeraCrypt with plausible denialability)
What otrahuevada is describing is a situation in which the software developer determines under what terms a particular user may use the software, not a situation where the user makes this choice.

Having copyrighted works isn't the inherently illegal part. It's the act of obtaining them outside the licensed methods and then holding them. At that point, according to some, is when it becomes theft.

wages counts in inflation. The poor may be better off or not based on what is stickier.

We all know labor is weak, so we start expecting wages to rise last, but that is not what happened this time, for there was a genuine tightening of the labor market.
It maintains a level of commitment. I don't normally write for myself, because I will always keep going back to the original source.

He missed one of Office’s key innovations - commands-on-selection, which is now available on the web app as well.

It reinforces the story even better than the given examples and has been there since Office 2007. The web version just added search-for-command in the right-click menu as well, which is similarly powerful.

This seems to be called the “mini toolbar”. Very hard to Google, easier to find through use. It is in Outlook for web now, too. The version in word is more powerful, especially when working with tables.
Someone who owns their home by taking out a mortgage (in some sense) loves inflation because they're paying back their loan of, say 2010 dollars in 2020 dollars. Whether the interest rate on the mortgage (the cost of the mortgage) is high or low doesn't matter when it comes to this effect.
So, if some bad actor embedded child sexual abuse material in the blockchain it would become illegal to run a Bitcoin node?

Seems like somebody could short Bitcoin or eth, do that, make it pubic, cause a furor, and profit despite the cost.
How much does this cost to use yourself as it is on a blockchain?
Nothing about "put it on a blockchain" helps that.

If you are actually putting the page contents onto the blockchain, you have basically constructed an append-only, replicated database. Which will almost certainly become unmanageably large over time. (Why would a user want to maintain a local archive of this content? There's no incentive for them to keep it on their machine, aside from wanting a copy of the content for themselves, which they could achieve in any number of other ways. Like just... saving it to disk.)

If you aren't actually putting the content into the blockchain itself, but are really just storing a URL that points to the content, you haven't solved the linkrot problem at all. You've just created a very roundabout way to send people URLs. You could put something like a PURL in there, or a DOI, but that just moves the problem around. Again, the blockchain isn't solving anything.

Here's an easier solution, if you want to try and ensure the availability of a piece of content into the future: strip it down to its most minimal, plaintext version, and post that to a well-known (and subject-appropriate) Usenet group. It will immediately be archived in several places across the world, which have a pretty good track record of keeping ahead of the flow of incoming content and keeping it available. No, you don't get a guaranteed URL, but the Message-ID is a very unique search string that can be used later on to find it.
IIRC, new batteries contain a semi-liquid electrolyte, which damps the bounce. When discharged, it becomes much more rigid, so the battery bounces. Compare dropping a gallon jug with ~a cup of water in it vs a cup frozen into ice to see what i mean.
I am not so sure that replacing physical fixed function buttons with context sensitive buttons in a fighter is really a good idea.

If you look at the Navy, there have been several mishaps that have been blamed on poor electronic controls.

In addition, and likely more importantly, a fighter pilot trains for hundreds of hours in their cockpit. They develop muscle memory. Having a button at the same place, with the same feel, that does the same thing, is likely vital when you are engaged with an enemy fighter and don't want any extraneous distractions. Instead, it seems you have the cockpit version of Apple's Touch Bar.
Thankyou, I am surprised I missed that talk. That implementation seems rather fragile to me. Assuming everything is working as designed one would have to be wearing the watch ahead of time in a home defense situation. That is also a lot of extra moving parts that could fail especially at the range after going through a few boxes of rounds. thinking thermal issues but maybe they tested that
Yes, but once you have a group picked out, it would be nice if a lot of the other content was hidden and the labels were shown. To do it automatically, is an exercise in space and visual clutter tradeoffs, I'd be as happy to see hiding of any unrelated component, or a schematic subpage, etc. Doing automatically is the hard part, as I know the past the EEs were thoughtful enough to spend some time building topic subpages by hand with maybe minor help w/ their schematic app.

Not meant to be a discouraging comment, as is, it is a nice utility!
> Your examples might fit the discussion better if you made unreadable C++03 code that worked.

I deliberately made it not work - calling cend instead of end fixes the issue (one which isn't possible possible the range based loops)

> Your second one hides almost everything from me. If the second one fails to compile and gives me a paragraph-long encrypted complaint, I need to somehow half-comment the thing out and create a bunch of test code so I can go in the debugger and figure out what you are actually doing.

And I disagree here. In practice the only issue I've ever seen with range based for loops at compile time is no iterator support. The error on clang and msvc is incredibly clear here. Chances are the compiler error message about comparing a const iterator to a non const iterator is going to be more obtuse

> also whether someone actually needs the preceding alternative you are complaining about.

I cannot think of a _single_ situation where the NULL macro is required where nullptr wouldn't be an improvement. I'm not saying don't use the fundamental constructs when they're needed, I'm saying use the modern alternatives when they're suitable. Unique_ptr and move semantics alone eliminated practically every use after free bug I've seen in the last decade, for example. Enum class is another great example - legacy enums are absolutely chock full of foot guns and I have found countless bugs where someone just passes garbage through. Again those bugs just don't exist with the modern replacement.
I would suggest math books from "for Dummies" series if it is hard for you to understand other math books.
Another comment already mentions this, but I guess a functional data structure would be easiest to maintain, even though there's stuff like this for PMEM such that any data structure would work essentially: https://pmem.io/

This[1] Open Source data store I'm maintaining is storing a huge tree of tries eventually on durable storage, but it's essentially a huge persistent index stored in an append-only file. The last layer of "indirect index pages" stores list of pointers to page fragments, which store the actual records (the list however is bound to a predefinded size). A single read-write trx per resource syncs the new page fragments, which mainly only include the updated or new records plus the paths to the root page to a durable device during a postorder traversal of the in-memory log. The last thing is an atomic update, which sets a new offset to point to the new UberPage, the root of the storage. All pages are only word aligned except for RevisionRootPages, which are aligned to a multiple of 256 bytes. All pages are compressed and might in the future optionally be encrypted.

I guess these byte addressable persistent memory devices are an ideal fit for small sized parallel random reads of potentially tiny page fragments to reconstruct a full page in-memory.

However, I hope they'll eventually achieve a better price in comparison to DRAM and SSDs than Intel Optane DC PMEM current price range.

Where I live now, you can wander around at night no problem. A cop might get suspicious and hassle you is about the worst.

I have also lived in places where not only would I advise more-vulnerable people against going out at night, I wouldn't go wander around myself either.

But yes the odds of being a victim aren't leaping from zero to 100 percent between these nighborhoods. More like aceptably low to unacceptably high.

Russia is an Interpol nation, so they should be able to operate there. It's amazing to me that someone this high profile and careless hasn't already been arrested, though. Perhaps there is some kind of protection in place.
Apple did this with iPhones, where the CPU throttles itself when the battery can’t keep up with the peak demand anymore. They got sued for it (mostly because they didn’t tell anyone and people bought new phones when the old ones started mysteriously slowing down).
Maybe all these projects that have typical Discord chats talking about blockchains, DAOs, NFTs, etc are full of kids given that some users can get easily upset and hate your pet project and they don't give any reasons other than character attacks. I always see this when someone attaches their own identity to a technology or project that once someone criticises the project (but not you directly) they feel 'personally attacked'.

Unfortunately they gave reasons and that is somehow toxic? At the end of the day, if you cannot prove them wrong with a counter argument, then it is difficult to side with the merits of this project. I don't see any character attacks on the user from the project devs.

In fact it is the other way round, and by quitting they seem to have 'won'.

However, the interests of a person trying to figure out how to save money run counter to saving it in an inflating instrument like the ARS, or, to a lesser extent, the dollar. From that perspective, deflation is even better than stability. Bitcoin is likely an improvement for the individual person who chooses it, independent of how it affects the economy for the wealthy to rebalance their portfolio away from REITs and toward Bitcoin, if that happens.

I agree that Bitcoin would be a lot more useful if its value were less unstable.
