It's interesting you think there necessarily are "losers".

Interest rates are set in a competitive market. At any given point, there's a relatively fixed supply of money being put into what's on offer.

For buyers like pensions, it's simple: get the highest rate they can with acceptable risk and diversification. Keep in mind that not all of a fund's assets should be invested in super-long duration loans. Anyone running a fixed income portfolio understands this is a major source of risk (interest rate risk) as long-dated bonds are one of the most rate-sensitive investments possible. You'd do better with a blend of short, medium, and long-duration debt to ensure you don't end up hosed when rates move the wrong way.

Also keep in mind, many net buyers of this stuff are using it to offset long-term liabilities -- insurance loss payments, pensions, etc. Insurance companies will adjust premiums based on earnings of their investment portfolios.

And finally, keep in mind that interest rates aren't just a video game. There are major "real" drivers of them, economic growth being one--the demand for credit and its supply absolutely shifts over time, and throughout the business cycle. Real economic variables like demographics, home building, population shifts, the number of retired (more savings) vs working (more wage income) people in a population, etc. cause this stuff to move around a lot. If someone gets a higher rate, it's because at the time, there was more demand for credit, it wasn't just someone "losing" or getting "ripped off" that made that trade possible.
Or maybe companies negotiate this way because it's an effective strategy. If, say, 90% of employees never call their bluff, they come out ahead, even if they occasionally lose someone. And backtracking later will convince some percentage of people to stay, while having zero cost if unsuccessful.

The optimal strategy for you and the company may differ because you can only work one place at a time, but the company employs many people at the same time.
People keep saying this all the time, but apart from the fact that nobody can agree on what an "integration test" is (because there's almost always some part of the application flow that you're stubbing out), it just becomes immediately apparent in a code base of sufficient size that "just use integration tests for everything" is only possible if you severely under-test (which usually includes thing like not properly testing for error conditions etc.).
Simple.css is a well done classless 'framework'. I stumbled on it a while back and started using it and thought this can be my go-to styles for tit-bits of websites that I do for landing pages, family websites etc. However, this is pretty opinionated (including some animations) and I had to abandon it. But I remained inspired by its simplicity and forked my own[1] broke it down. I broke it down to the most basic, but then can be built on top of it -- progressively get a website "designed" far enough but not further.

If you are into these simple classes, check out Drop-in Minimal CSS[2] and choose the one that fits your need.

Simple.css is from an interesting guy, Kev Quirk[3], whose 512kb[4] website was on Hackernews a while back (don't recollect if it was a story or a comment). Hi Kev, if you are around.

If you are spinning up a simple website with classless styles, perhaps it is a good idea to add a print styles and I like Gutenberg[5] for that.

Oh. I wonder if the Display trait implementation can be enforced to have no side effects (beside allocation).
> I think the value I get back from Google in Gmail, Docs, Youtube and a few other services is sufficient that I'm willing to accept a certain amount of monetisation on their part, though I use ad blockers.

If you're blocking ads and not paying for premium then it's more that you're taking without giving. Which incentives them to pry harder for whatever they can glean from your usage, and show more ads to non-blockers.
First impressions: the font is kinda small; the contrast is a bit too low. My first attempt at scrolling down from the intro screen immediately pushed the most recent entries above the top of the page and I had to scroll up to get back to them.

Run a Lighthouse report with Chrome which will point out which elements need work, you'll also get advice like "Delaying first content paint makes users give up on your page" (paraphrased) or "Avoid enormous network payloads: total size was 4,397 KiB". Why is this page of text 4 MB? You might also want to take a look at the number of requests.

I would consider removing this first screen/page if I were you.
>HEVC windows 10 app

Unless you can link to the specific "HEVC windows 10 app", I'm pretty sure you're referring to "HEVC Video Extensions", which is just a codec pack for decoding HEVC files.

>DV app is called Dolby Vision Extensions app

The linked article says that you need a "Dolby Vision licensed device"? That suggests it might need some sort of calibration for it to work?
And starting writing the standard instead of describing high level expectations but describing the implementation (code).
Tests are a good way to assert an invariant that you expect of your codebase, but as with all things, resolving the error can get a bit tricky/frustrating.

The canonical example in my mind is any kind of autofix-able linter, where there's some kind of patch (or more nuanced autofix) that the linter can generate on-the-spot for you. With a sh_test construct (or any other test), you generally find yourself printing out some command that the user can run to fix things, which in a sufficiently large codebase can get really frustrating. (The worst offenders of this that I remember dealing with at Google were when generated code/artifacts had to be checked into the repo instead of getting being wired into the build system because <insert hermeticity problem> and a large-scale change you were doing looked at one of them the wrong way...)

(My company - https://trunk.io - is actually building a universal linter as part of our product offering, and we already have a system to write custom linters with varying levels of sophistication that can plug into both your IDE and CI system!)
You have to do it every day; a habit. It may not get easier, but it gets better.

A lot of people get sucked into a trap of reading blogs about doing things instead of actually practicing the doing.

Best of luck
The Earth had the greatest density and biodiversity of life hundreds of millions of years ago during the time of the Dinosaurs, on a much warmer planet when atmospheric CO2 was >5 times what it is today.

Unfortunately, non-anthropogenic climate change, not humans, was what wiped out most of that life.
If you set your clock to UT1 then it will be “wrong” by up to 0.9 seconds fast or slow compared to UTC, and the length of your seconds will be “wrong” by up to about 1e-8 compared to SI seconds. (Before its recent speed-up, the earth took about 24x60x60+0.001 seconds to rotate.)

One of the key reasons for moving away from UT1 or UT2 as the standard broadcast timescales up to 1972 was that the time broadcasts were (and are still) also frequency broadcasts, so when they adjusted the length of the second to match the earth, they also had to retune their high-power transmitter so that the advertised number of cycles per second was correct. And when this retuning happened they also had to promulgate the new adjustment factor to all their users who needed actual SI or ephemeris time seconds instead of rubber UT1 seconds.
This kind of meta reading strategy never worked for me. My real strategy 1) be deeply curious and motivated about what you’re learning. If you cannot do that, trick yourself into caring, if that fails ask yourself why you are learning it in the first place.
I think Austin has a decent chance.
1) No prop 13 which keeps locks California property taxes at purchase price. It means long-term residents pay very little tax on very expensive property, so are unwillingly to sell (better to cash out with a refi and let the property keep appreciating, which creating real estate scarcity, pushing up prices, etc...
2) Austinites are well aware of the failings of California cities such, and fearful of making the same mistakes. Even the left leaning voters that flee to Austin from deep blue cities are by and large not the same group of voters that push progressive policies. They're well-off tech bro liberals that want higher quality of life, lower crime, and lower taxes.
Calculate the total cost of the approval process. Now divide it by the number of participants and have them each pay an equal share. This means that when the fifth mover comes, they only have to pay 20% of the cost of the first mover, but they're paying it to the people who came before them, so that they're really each paying 20%.
But here both Scala and Java have opted for a similar compile-time evaluation strategy that makes use of the type system to reduce injection vulnerabilities, whereas Rust has opted for the untyped (or "stringly-typed") messy shortcut of "people shouldn't do that."
Maybe - I'm mainly making the point for future situations where it may make sense to stay if you don't adopt a binary trust mentality (which upper management probably does not have).
There is another side of it. Changing position for better working environment is unpredictable. With rare exceptions the job description and what was discussed during job interview is very different from the actual job I do after accepting an offer.
I hate that there's no reasonable way to discuss this topic or any potential causes (or solutions) without veering into ideological territory firmly claimed by certain groups (be it "incel", "MGTOW", "racist", fill in your favorite). So many of the young men I encounter are absolutely terrified of women for one reason or another, and several (under 20, over 10) have committed suicide (and/or been admitted to drug/alcohol rehab with intent) because of either a sense of impossibility of mating or a sense that they have no place in the professional world as a man. It absolutely does NOT help that when I try to bring it up with my colleagues the conversation inevitably devolves to something about privilege, "toxicity", or poorly veiled (and poorly defined) insults about "creepiness".

I don't want to get into those ideological arguments myself because any hint of agreement is grounds for being tied to it fully.

I try to talk to these guys in more personal settings but they're nervous as fuck, since they know I could potentially disagree with them and therefore influence their lives and careers. They tell me this freely; a person I spoke to within the last month, suffering from suicidal ideation along with general behavior changes (my trigger for talking to them), went along the lines of: "I can't talk about this shit with you or with therapy or with anybody. I'd rather zone out at home than get arrested for looking at her."

I know he's exaggerating, but I also know what he means. I do NOT know how to address his concerns.

If anyone does, please feel free to reach out in comments or doxx me enough to talk in person.
First, set a cue. If you're going to the gym, perhaps it's always right after you wake up. You need to have a cue that consistently happens. After a while (a month), it becomes habit. Simple waking up sets off a whole sequence of habits for me.

Next, for the things you want to improve on, set a goal, measure and track.

For each exercise, how much weight did you lift, how many reps? Write it all down and match or beat yourself last time.

Start small so it's not overwhelming, and improve incrementally from there.

That's it. And even if you don't feel like doing it one day, take the first small step to doing it - like getting dressed for the gym. Then see what happens.
That bad?

Well, that's how they kept real estate prices down.
I feel like this problem grew as the ability for the middle class to enjoy leisurely actives grew. There was a time when the MC grew, and could spend money and things were great. It was unsustainable, but it took a while for the prices to catch up - eg. ski towns had housing before ski'ing was generally popular, and slowly it was bought faster than replenished and now that skiing is popular, the demand far outstrips supply. Over time they priced out service work, and now we'll need to swing back to a state where the middle class no longer can afford those luxuries, and the service workers have to be more middle class because they're paid so well to cover the costs.
It's a different kind of stress though. I'd say, go for it. You probably won't get it right on the first attempt. It's really good to have some cash saved. And be open to getting back to work for a company while you try. Best wishes to you!
I liked the 15% I've read of the article, but let's remind ourselves this can easily be just total bullshit!
Saxonica now has an XSLT 3.1 interpreter implemented through JavaScript. Works a charm for XML processing of most any sort. Can call JS, access JS properties, etc. In-browser has access to the DOM & events; nodejs has its own frills and thrills, I expect.

IMO it’s the right way to deal with XML.
I also don't believe google intentionlly participates in pool.ntp.org, but it would be easy for some of the pool servers to have one of google's public ntp servers in their static configuration. On days without a leap second, they're pretty good ntp servers.

Personally, I had servers configured with google and some other semi-public servers during the last leap second, and (traditional) ntpd did lots of weird stuff, so I ended up with pretty mushy time that day.
Consciousness Is Not That Special
> Because I have some decades of experience.

Is this decades of experience with Rust (from 2015) or decades of experience with JSON (from 2001) ? Or just decades of experience making implausible predictions?

Here's how you make a JSON string in serde_rust here in 2022:

let s = Value::String(myString);

Here's how you propose programmers will erroneously try to make a JSON string in 2042 abusing the format macro:

let s = format!("\"{myString}\"");

Here's how I think programmers will successfully make JSON strings in 2042 using serde_json which is obviously the right tool for the job:

let s = Value::String(myString);

that's what i was thinking too. we've known this from neuroscience for a while. i at least remember learning this from at least 5 or more years ago. the general idea being that forgetting is an evolutionary advantage to help consume less conscious memory/processing. but there's always the chance that i'm misinterpreting this particular finding.

increased synchronization between stations should allow for better beamforming to go along with the positional information, increasing throughput somewhat in the face of interference/attenuation
It’s a little confusing and sad to me that people have to try to pressure themselves to go from zero to professional engineer in a short period of time. That sounds stressful and, frankly, almost impossible.

Like a lot of people here, I taught myself how to code as a child in a terribly inefficient manner. I spent probably around 100 hours making games on my TI-83 - you had write a formula to figure out how to color each pixel, it was awfully slow. I spent hundreds of hours on Microsoft InfoPath making toy apps with a little scripting. Everything was very difficult, but it was insanely fun. I’m a night owl but I would wake up at 4am to start coding stuff so no one could tell me to go outside. At some point I read an introductory text that showed how to do web things, and later I got a server, and made some real-time multiplayer games by the end of high school. I didn’t know about databases so I would serialize to and from a text file. I’ve never had that much fun for such a sustained period of time since then. I couldn’t replicate it, and with the distractions of modern tech I probably couldn’t even focus that much anymore.

I’m grateful that my childhood obsession turned out to be absurdly lucrative. Best wishes to everyone, young and old, diving in for the first time!
I mostly agree with the above rationale, though I am skeptical about your first point. Having other options, in my view, is a strength. If a company can't put together something comparable to your alternative, it probably is time for a change.

One non-obvious part about git-annex is "location tracking" system [0], which "keeps track of in which repositories it last saw a file's content."

The result of this is that any "checkout" operations will, by default, modify source repo, and then this information will be eventually propagated to all the clients. Before you delete the repository, you'll want to de-register any git-annex files to let others know they are no longer available. This is pretty big departure from standard git approach where you can delete any checkouts without any repercussions.

We've tried to use git annex for large file storage in a small team, and our metadata kept being "gummed up" with all the repos which no longer exists -- temporary CI checkouts, servers which have been formatted, old user laptops, etc.. So we dropped it in favor of "git lfs" and then a custom system.

I'm not sure why you quote that at me, how you think that will help. Yes, I had a look after my initial click, and saw that. I don't agree that it's the default, that there even is a "default" minor scale, or that that's the most common name for that mode, but I understand I may be in a minority/wrong.

HTML was originally envisioned as something extremely user-friendly to let people and companies customize their online presence. Nowadays multiple professional roles and software stacks are between the content and its HTML representation.

It tells us something, but also regularly what's easy looks hard. I have organized some hackathons and coding events for students. Some start with create-react-app for showing an image. They are very hesitant to do things the "manual" way when I suggest it. I think it's awesome that vanilla gets to have a community like this.
Given that this line is from a cell culture, wouldn’t the simpler explanation be that the virus has this sequence because it was replicated in that specific Moderna culture lineage?

This would be a particularly useful discovery, because it would dramatically limit the candidates for who did the gain of function research to organizations licensed this Moderna lineage.

I submitted this article with the title:

"5G is for sensing, not communication"

It'll surely be changed at some point. I didn't think this would go to #1 within 20 minutes of my posting it. I chose the title out of frustration, to be frank, as a tongue in cheek protest of the stifled, polarized, repressed, sad state of public understanding of what RF technologies are capable of and our collective inability to have substantive conversations about these capabilities, let alone organize around issues of accountability and transparency in their deployment.

It's a reference to the article submitted a few days ago about a future Wi-Fi sensing standard [1]. I just saw that article, went to the comments and didn't see one single comment mentioning 5G.

Look at the last sentence of the abstract:

> Our results in realistic settings with five subjects suggest that accurate recognition of activities and environmental situations can be a reliable implicit service of future 5G installations.

My "academic speak" brain looks at this as a researcher essentially raising a huge flag, saying to us "hey, in case you weren't paying attention, we're making a collective decision to allow passive sensing technology everywhere".

I'd like to think we could have that kind of conversation before mm-wave beamforming antenna arrays were installed on every other street corner in the country, backed by proprietary hardware and software.

But at the rate things are going, we're on track to have the conversation after the fact. When all of our devices are hooked in, when we're dependent on the standards, when the consequences are immediately in front of us and our institutions are lined up to exploit the emerging applications.

> It is possible, though, that the Jonah’s icefish disproportionately rely on the massive breeding colony, effectively putting all their eggs in one basket. If so, that “would make the species extremely vulnerable” to extinction, Desvignes says. The discovery of the massive colony is one more argument for providing environmental protections for the Weddell Sea as has been done for the nearby Ross Sea, he says.

The Ross Sea, by the way, has had its protections undermined by China for the benefit of its commercial fishing enterprises.

> In October 2014, the MPA proposal was again defeated at the CCAMLR by votes against from China and Russia.[58] At the October 2015 meeting a revised MPA proposal from the US and New Zealand was expanded with the assistance of China, who however shifted the MPA's priorities from conservation by allowing commercial fishing.

You don't generally actually pay for PACER unless you are using it at a professional volume.
Assuming it is not a recirculating hood and it’s venting outside, it should help reduce NOx levels. When you’re venting to the outside, you’re creating a negative pressure inside the home which is drawing in fresh air, which in theory will dilute the concentration. Some systems have “make-up air” which blows in fresh air, roughly equal to what is being vented out.
I can’t offer an honest answer to this poll, because it depends a lot on what [kinds of] jobs people are leaving. This site is tech-centric and most of the job leaving in our cohort is some combination of all of these, with a lot of emphasis on flexibility and comp. In a lot of service-facing lines of work, it’s a mix of comp and accommodations (particularly for health safety) more than most other things.
