I’m trying to find a way out/ hedge our economy (Canada, similar to U.S. except we can’t print money to get out of it). I have a sinking feeling that either the idiots over leveraging themselves on bubble priced homes will get bailed out or the idiot banks who facilitate them will get bailed out… probably both. Which ironically makes me the idiot for not participating in the idiocy.

Maybe I’m just getting old, but when I look around at our economy, housing, the crypto fascination, etc. it all looks like scams, hype, and fomo to me.

When the big bailouts happen, I’m gonzo. Just don’t know where to yet. Maybe I’ll live on a sailboat to try and minimize the impact of the insanity.
Thanks for moving the needle.

Millions of companies use open source without contributing anything. I have a theory/daydream that:

a) a new foundation could be created with a new licence, whose only purpose is to accept payments and distribute them, with max x% overhead

b) that licence would stipulate that by paying a nominal yearly fee (e.g. 10 hours average developer cost in your country) you would get all-you-can-eat commercial use of such licensed software

would lead to software adopting that licence, companies paying that fee as a no-brainer, and in time would mean that those millions of companies would at least give some money, without warranty etc, that would be distributed somewhat fairly.

Which would no doubt be massively imperfect, but better than now.
No, it requires no unjust or involuntary hierarchies. This is all voluntary, as far as I can tell.
The less addons I need, the better. As long as I can block ads with uBlock Origin and handle a few other small things, I'm good.

I gave up on my freedom a long time ago since I use gmail and outlook for everything. I leave those things to people more enlightened than me, I just want things to work.
About 2/3 of people own a home, which is a lot, but I'm not sure I'd call it "most people". And for the 1/3 that do not own a home, often already at a disadvantage in ability to build wealth, they will continue to fall further and further behind as rents rise and their wages lose value. It's a bad situation.
With SQL Server 2019, you can write UTF-8 data to `VARCHAR` and `CHAR` fields, if the table collation is `LATIN1_GENERAL_100_CI_AS_SC_UTF8`.

I feel the pain of UTF-16. When I was writing the Rust crate for the TDS protocol, all N-columns for strings always require you to do a full copy from `Vec<u16>` to `Vec<u8>` and back.
There is the argument though that you could "entertain" people away supporting a fair cause.

This both by means of propaganda through the content they consume, and by simply giving people something they can consider "good enough". Would people in micro-apartments be happy living in 32m^2 if they didn't have computers / TVs?
As a Latin American, welcome to this awful club.

And don't let anybody tell you otherwise:

This is totally because of fiscal deficit.
The AA lithium-ion rechargeable are internally 3.7V, just like any other lithium-ion battery. They have a buck converter build-in that regulates that down to a constant 1.5V. Which can be handy in the handful of applications that don't deal with the 1.2V that NiMH provide. This does in turn make battery indicators indeed completely useless for many of them, as there is no detectable drop in voltage from the outside of the battery.

However, there are newer ones take care of that and regulate the voltage down to 1.1V or so shortly before they run completely out of juice, so that the battery indicator can give a warning. Don't know how widespread that feature is yet, but it exists.
I don't think it is pedantic at all. I have been in the most technical parts of the infosec industry for 15+ years. The usability of security features and user education is the iceberg. Getting them to use MFA and such are the tip.
Sorry, but this has nothing to do with whether I respect streamers or not.

Streamers produce entertainment. That's fine, I'm all for entertainment -- I pay for Netflix, for instance. But it is just entertainment. You can't have a strong economy based on producing entertainment alone. We need jobs that produce real-life value at some point.

In other words, kudos to the dude in the favela making money out of streaming, good for him. It's just _not_ something that can be scaled and applied to the millions of people living in favelas that need a good job (or any job really).

Isn't TCA a dependency framework?

I haven't found much joy in MVVM. I haven't found that it provides enough benefits to spend the time switching over.

I am looking forward to SwiftUI. I really hope that the documentation improves, though.
TypeScript does nothing like that with any strict settings, because it doesn't provide any JSON parsing alternative, so that is always unsafe.

I bet there are runtime checkers that use some kind of reflection, that would be the next best thing. But I also bet that those force you to annotate/decorate everything.

> These children remind of me of Lord of the Flies.

I think most people in blockchain Discord "servers" are actually children. There are no other forums that I go to, where I get the same palpable feeling that I'm talking to teenagers. It's odd.
> Firstly, let's dismiss this idea that C++ can avoid wasting a single cycle or byte, it doesn't aim for that. It aims for a much lower bar, albeit still a significant achievement - it says you won't do better by hand.

You're referring to the "zero-overhead" goal of new C++ features. I think the above poster was talking more generally about one's ability when using a language to implement some critical subset as fast as possible or with as little memory use as possible. I suppose it's arguable if you're still doing C++ when you use intrinsics. Though I think pragmas are certainly fair game. At least C++ (and C considered as a subset) is the biggest high-level language with such a possibility.
Not everyone lives in a house, friend. But you're correct, the burden of inflation rests more on the poor.
> What I'm seeing is that Tesla's appraoch, fleet learning

I don't want to see that experimental learning happening on public roads which are shared by people who are not willing participants in the experiment.

Every time a Tesla crashes into a barrier killing the driver that is sad, but at least they chose that fate so ok.

When Teslas cause damage to other cars or humans who didn't want to be part of the alpha program, that's criminal.
That’s funny, I actually mentioned to someone recently that reading poetry to relax is a bit like doing a (cryptic) crossword - it’s playing with language.
> one that might make sense if you only care about byte size

A minimizer should care a lot abut size. I'm not sure what would be faster, but the difference must be minimal anyway, so it's safe to focus on your default concern.

> It very much is "Damn the consequences, and how much it costs, I want them to have the worst possible experience".

To be clear, I am not agreeing with the position I am describing. Rather, I am trying to very specifically say that it is NOT "very much... I want them to have the worst possible experience."

If anything, I think the attitude I described may be more reflective of the overall poor quality of life (relative to the possibilities) that the majority of Americans enjoy in their day-to-day lives due to the widening wealthy inequality. For many people, who can't even afford access to entertainment like "gaming consoles", providing such to prisoners out of the taxpayer's till makes them question why their life is so hard and what they're working for if they could just become anti-social and get enjoyment beyond "three hots and a cot". Granted, perhaps it would be useful if more people questioned their lot in life and how we got here, but the result of that questioning for many is not high-minded ideals and calls for more equality.

You seem to be reiterating the idea of vindictiveness in your conclusion, while acknowledging that something akin to spite might be more causative earlier on in your response. I am not sure I'd classify exactly what I'm describing as either spite or vindictiveness, but it's certainly a dark feeling. What I'm observing is that many people are uncomfortable with the idea of prisoners having an enjoyable enough quality of life such that their own non-prison life seems worse by comparison, it creates feelings of futility towards life and engenders a certain type of nihilism. I think considering that people are merely vindictive or spiteful is an oversimplification that does not fully encompass the complexity of the human experience. You should also consider that many people who are in the bottom half of American society /know/ someone who's been in prison, or may have been in prison themselves, so it is not as if the realities of the prison experience have escaped these people. As you rightly point out, the US has the highest incarceration and recidivism rates in the world, and it's predominantly people who are "lower class" ending up there, mostly from a demographic standpoint the same folks who hold the viewpoint I'm trying to point out.
I think the logic is government dollars competing with private dollars, especially during a supply shock, will send prices up
Rental management companies are accepting offers for leases that are hundreds of dollars/month more than asking price and in some cases expecting you to make that sort of offer, which is insane.
> - need to establish a system of keeping track what's charged

This seems to be the root of all of your problems.

Just charge all of the cells that aren’t in use.

When you take drained cells out of something, they go in the charger.

Charger is always plugged in and right next to where you store the cells.

If there’s ever any question, just stick the cells in the charger. Don’t bother playing all of the games to avoid “memory effect”. It’s much better with modern cells and not worth the hassle to try to work around.
The article has a point but the title is one of those logical fallacies that Korzybski warned you about. It's why some of his followers speak and write "E-Prime" that omits most uses of the verb "to be".

I also think there is something unhealthy going on w/ the conservative movement these days that has made anti-censorship a fetish.

Back in the day conservatives thought God was their God but now it seems they worship anti-Woke and anti-Cancel. Any speech is good speech so long as somebody is trying to ban it.

There was that Milo Yiannopoulos who was playing a disingenuous game where the point was to say outrageous things, get banned, get sympathy from out-of-it boomers who give money to liberal art colleges, fool people into thinking he has something significant to say, raise his speaking fees, get banned again, etc. He finally got canceled by CPAC (Conservative Political Action Committee) and hasn't been heard from since.

These folks who are flooding hacker news with spam about dog pills and cancel culture don't just demand to delete their accounts when their posts get flagged but they complain when they get downvoted. Pretty soon they are going to be complaining when we fail to upvote their posts. They have an astonishingly entitled attitude and a victim mentality right up their with the woke crybabies that they hate.
This is a really bad measure of inflation for monetary policy This is a supply shock. This kind of inflation should not heavily impact your monetary policy.

This exactly why fixed inflation targeting is a bad idea and Market Monetarist advocated NGDP Level targeting and New Keynesians simply want the Central bank to do that correctly manually.

Consumer Price Level measures might be useful for other things, but not at input for your central banking function.
How long will that shield hold? There are strong generational, economic, and social divides In who owns homes and who benefits from rising prices.

If only retirees, and highly paid professionals are shielded from housing increases I’d expect all other prices to become correlated with housing as workers demand commensurate wage increases or start refusing to work for negative earnings.
Thanks!

I added labels based on the number of arguments. `write_byte` has two arguments (other than `t`), the `addr` and `data`, so I used labeled arguments to distinguish the two easily. On the other hand, `read_byte` only has one argument, so I didn't label the argument. I saw this approach used in some Jane Street libraries: for example, `Hashtbl.set` takes two arguments and is labeled, while `Hashtbl.find` only has one argument and is not labeled.

But I was sometimes confused and wrongly provided labels to `read_byte`, so looking back at it now, maybe I should have just labeled both functions for consistency.
Naming this after Zooko is a nice hat tip. I remember back when he was interleaving his last names to form O'Whielacronx.

Zero-Knowledge Proof Algorithm： Plonk – Circuit
I think that’s it basically. New England consumers pay ~$.22/kWh. We’re going to have offshore wind energy in the next decade that might conceivably have surplus power quite a lot. It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that these plants could have a deal with the power plants to take extra power for free so long as they have guarantees on filling the expected gaps or meeting expected spikes in usage. Everyone wins.
Oh yeah, I'm aware that for any other chemistry you need an actual coulomb-counter to get a proper gas gauge. My suggestion was more about the specific matter of suppressing an unwanted and inaccurate low battery light.

Though maybe instead of trying to mod the circuit board, it would be easier to just disconnect the LED itself.

We can always construct hypothetical situations that meet some criteria. I wouldn't recommend that in any part of any city.

Also, NiMH batteries can reverse charge and ruin themselves. This happens a lot when batteries are in series and the load will continue to run the batteries until 0 voltage. The weakest battery will deplete first but then the other batteries will continue to pump current through until that weak battery reverses polarity and wrecks itself.
The programs for spending the money are slated to last as little as a single year, while the taxes to balance the spending are expected to do so over 10 years. It absolutely is inflationary, particularly if any of these shorter than 10 year programs get extended without new taxes to pay for them.

I was unable to build last summer due to soaring prices, and feel like I will be unable to again in the spring. Biden inexplicably doubled the tariffs on imported lumber too. The situation genuinely hurts.
Every system ends up needing:

I'm not even surprised such a system exists, because full anarchy where no one trusts anyone is not good even in theory.

Is the figure that 2/3 of homes are owner-occupied? 2/3 of households own at least one home?

I wasn't old enough to be employed the last time the US had inflation this high but I can tell you that my current employer has stated that we aren't getting cost of living adjustments despite the high inflation. Instead they're claiming that raises will be based on each employees contribution to the company. Which would be great if they actually meant it since all of us engineers would be getting very significant raises. What will actually happen is that all of us will get about 2% raises, a bunch of people will quit because the job market for developers is great right now, and then the company will hire in a bunch of junior devs for higher wages than the current junior devs are getting.

Savage.

I saw lots of charts & graphs & flashy wordsmithing, but I didn't actually see any evidence or examples of firms doing unscrupulous trades.

I'm not an expert, but I know better than to dish it out better than I can take it. My opinion is that these "exemplary" market returns are simply the result of markets being open only part of the day: between 0930h and 1600h there's liquidity to buy/sell your position at any time, for the prevailing price. Markets are open only 7h of the day but 24h worth of events takes place each day.

The other elephant in the room is that all market participants know the trading hours. Much news, releases, events, etc. happen outside of the liquid trading hours, resulting in discrete jumps between the close of one day and the open of another.

These are also cumulative returns over a huge timespan: everybody knows the fed can crash the markets mid-day with the wrong jawboning. the reverse price effect can also be true, resulting in huge open-to-close changes.
Yes a blockchain escrow with this judge as the decider of how the funds are apportioned would be better.
This would make tons of sense with regard to actual HFT firms. If you're whole schtick is doing stuff over timescales that are (far) shorter than a minute, being locked into a position for hours is risk you really don't want to take.
While it is non-intuitive that the camera doesn't focus on a center point, the good news here is that it should be possible to control the AF motor in a more fine grained manner. I'm guessing it would take some firmware hacking, but I don't see any technical reason why it wouldn't work.

If you have a good job they recognize inflation and compensate accordingly, if you're 99% of the population you get screwed or find another job.
> It's strange because they have clearly spent a LOT of time pushing partner channel development and certification. But the software side, the part that the user actually interacts with, seems so under thought.

This is usually a sign that the MBAs are taking over and playing software developers via spec driven development, the actual software artisans having been reduced to a transpiling transfer function.

I don't have any contacts inside of Apple these days; it would be interesting to hear whether developers on the inside are feeling this is the case.

Same, I've been banging my head against this issue for half of today and no resolve yet (ironically ran into this after I fixed a slew of unrelated iOS build issues).
My issue is with sub dependency reliance on jcenter (e.g react-native-pdf). Given Java/Gradle isn't my domain of expertise, I can't yet find a clean way of intercepting bintray requests and subbing them out for Maven/Google hosted equivalents (which seem to exist).

I don't hold out much hope that JFrog will expedite a fix for this given their intention to phase out of service.
Its a good point - with a subnote that they added taxes to cover the spending.

But to be clear, if this is deficit driven, it is driven by the tax cuts from the previous congress.

Maybe we should keep the taxes in the new bill and get rid of the new spending

I was referring to not being a historical precedent with the Philipines. I am not an expert in south-asian studies either, but my understanding of Chinese Imperialism & their relation with Korea & Vietnam etc, was that they have been quasi independent vassal states which is quite different than traditional western imperialism or having a direct claim on the land.
An SMS would have to relay through your phone, due to it having the phone service, so would show on both devices. It sounds like you had multiple iMessage identities (email1/email2/phone/etc.) and one of those was only enabled on the iPad.
If they raised the rent successfully on 2/3rds of the units to just over 3/2’s of its old value, then it seems like they could afford to keep 1/3 of units vacant and available for new tenants who are willing to pay that higher rent. (They’re no worse off on a cashflow basis and they have vacant inventory that represents possible upside.)
