Glad to help with sources - it took me a long time and many different web searches to understand this. And it still seems like kind of a Rube Goldberg machine, but at the end of the day, this is how it works.

Have a look at the following:

> Open market operations (OMO) refers to the Federal Reserve (the Fed) practice of buying and selling U.S. Treasury securities, along with other securities, on the open market in order to regulate the supply of money that is on reserve in U.S. banks. The Fed purchases Treasury securities to increase the supply of money and sells them to reduce the supply of money. The objective of OMOs is to manipulate the short-term interest rate and the supply of base money in an economy. By conducting open market operations, the Federal Reserve can achieve the desired target federal funds rate by providing or removing liquidity to commercial banks by buying or selling government bonds from or to them.

> The Fed buys U.S. Treasuries and other securities from its member banks and replaces them with credit. All central banks have this unique ability to create credit out of thin air. That’s just like printing money.

> ...

> The Fed can also reverse the effects of quantitative easing (QE). It does this by selling Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities to its banks. The Fed removes dollars from the banks' balance sheets and replaces them with these securities. What happens to the dollars? They vanish. In other words, they go back into thin air, where the Fed got them in the first place.

Another insight you can get from these articles: the Fed buys US Treasuries from the US government, also with money from thin air. So it's not really possible for the government to go bankrupt or for treasury interest rates to skyrocket, because (1) the government can always raise more money by issuing treasury bonds, (2) the Fed serves as the treasury buyer of last resort, and (3) the Fed will buy the bonds at whatever interest rate it likes. Since it's the Fed's job to keep the economy stable for the US government, it will always do this if the government needs it to.

As evidence that this structure can work, check out Japan, where national debt is currently over 250% of GDP... but interest rates are extremely low. Because Japan's central bank serves as the treasury buyer of last resort, and keeps interest rates low in service to the government.
No, It's not.

I was a poor kid and didn't get financial support from my parents in young adulthood/college. I couldn't even fathom spending $1,000 on non-essential expenses during college. I was living entirely on student loans and minimum wage summer jobs - When that's your life you can't think about anything but pure survival. It's an entirely different mindset that I have now as a financially secure person.

If I got a $1,000 windfall during college it would go straight to bills/food. It would be entirely unfathomable to spend it on anything else. $1,000 is more than my monthly income during my college years.

in beijing at rush hour you line up at a train door, and you see two or three trains stop, allowing the first few people at the head of the line to enter, before you make it to the head of the line so you then can enter the third or forth train.
First, when you see public officials doing a blog post on "Microsoft.com" website instead of on a public website, you know that something fishy is going on...

On the other side, I have the feeling that this thing that clearly over-engineered. Just look at data their diagram... If I'm not wrong there is one writer and multiple reader for the data, or at least multiple writers on one side and multiple readers on another side, without a need for "real time" consistency.

So, this thing could probably have been better splitted to not have the use for "scaled" databases

In theory it should work with any camera the supports ONVIF, which is a standard for security cameras... actually, as long as the camera has an API you could probably get it to work. Since precision and image quality are important though, it could end up being more trouble that it is worth. You may have better luck trying to find a used one.

While I do not agree with a lot of specifics in the article, I do sympathize with the overarching theme that we are being driven by our clocks and calendars today. If every day looks exactly same as the day before, did time pass?
But why would this be exciting? You already have this now with the current banking system! I almost always pay for things with credit card with chip. I just tap the card on the console and boom, payment is instantly made. And... I have fraud protection if my card gets used without permission (this has happened, and I was quickly refunded). What could be easier and better than what we currently have for day to day transactions?

The weakness of this sauce is staggering. I understand GNU Emacs
wanting to preserve forty years of hard work supporting Windows and
MacOS, but justifying it via the "taste of freedom" sets off my
hypocrisy alarm. It's also just patently false because emacs users
stick with Windows precisely because emacs still works there.
Admittedly we have not tested on firefox as much, but I suspect that is happening is that we have a race condition in waiting for the 30+MB package of wasm and data files to load.
> For many, being able to pedal, but not being required to pedal all the time, is one of the main reasons to use an e-bike in the first place.

IMHO if you're not pedalling it is no longer a "bicycle", it is some other class of vehicle (e-scooter?). I have no problem with e-bikes providing a boost, but if you're not doing the work then it should be treated differently.
EU 2002/24/EC sounds reasonable:

> Cycles with pedal assistance which are equipped with an auxiliary electric motor having a maximum continuous rated power of 0.25 kW, of which the output is progressively reduced and finally cut off as the vehicle reaches a speed of 25 km/h (16 mph) or if the cyclist stops pedaling.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_bicycle_laws#Europe

There are a lot "e-bikes" where I live where are token pedals on the machine to make it "self-propelled", but folks simply use the e-motor and zip along quite quickly. They require no licensing and no insurance AFAICT.

As someone who has a motorcycle license, and had to do a bunch of training and get insurance I see folks on these things as no different to my if I were on a 125cc or 250cc motorcycle/scooter.

I'm happy to have these types of vehicles enter the mix of transportation modes (and hopefully reduce automobile use), but I think the following are needed for e-scooters (née e-bikes):

* a drivers license (like in the EU, where a Category B car license also grants an AM (≤125cc; ≤11kW) license as well)

* some kind of insurance: an add-on rider/paragraph on one's existing car insurance, or a e-scooter policy
If I understand correctly, what you’re saying is “Go won’t immediately get faster with this release, it will immediately get faster with the next and subsequent releases”. Whether your employer uses generics or not, it’s very likely large parts of the standard library will get rewritten with them soon, and if OP is correct, it will improve the performance greatly of certain operations.

The dashboard has to deal with a complex data integration problem, with different sources with differences in completeness, accuracy, age, and granularity (at many levels), daily corrections in past data, changes in data structure and semantics over time, large data volume, 4pm traffic spikes. Moreover, an API that allows you to select different metrics for different areas. Being able to simply write a SQL query or update and have it be fast regardless of volume is quite a life-saver if you have a tiny (mostly 1 person) team and development speed/adaptability is essential.

Some example queries issued by the dashboard:

He’s not measuring a property of languages, but of particular translations of the privacy policy.

By the way, sometimes North Americans encounter attitudes that UK English is in some way more authentic or better than their variety. That’s silly, too, and ahistorical. The difference with Spanish is that, like the French, they have an Academy that hands down official language judgments, and these are taken seriously by publishers, etc. The Academy is based in Spain, so they have a way to sort-of enforce their linguistic dominance. English is more anarchic.

This is awesome.

Ubiquiti’s UniFi Protect app uses a similar UI for ‘smart detections’ and it’s really very nicely done / looks like you’ve achieved the same quality of cropping and layout in the snapshots. Bravo. So much potential for this. Good luck with it!
I agree. For example, the Dutch corona dashboard (coronadashboard.rijksoverheid.nl) is a statically rendered dashboard using Next that gets updated daily. No backend and it's super fast.

Maybe I'm not objective because I'm Dutch myself, but from both a user-facing and technical perspective I think the Dutch dashboard is by far the best corona dashboard in the world. It's very fast, has a lot of detailed visualizations, provides a lot of context and has fair amount of accessibility features.

I'm sure the author, who consults to these banks, has the solutions.
>it's not clear even the people making the claims believe it. They don't seem to mind ideas that contradict theirs, so long as the central belief that there is some sort of vast conspiracy is upheld.

That seems like a truly bizarre statement, how would that make sense?
Some people would embrace ideas they would not believe in, to further the public's perception that there is an ongoing conspiracy?
That seems perfectly lunatic.
Wouldn't it make more sense for them to try to tie in that the conspiracy peddlers are incentivized to push completely insane theories in order to cover for other, true, conspiracy theories (e.g. the NSA's surveillance pre-Snowden leak).

Some have mental issues, that is a given, but that is not generally seen as a valid way to discredit or validate a theory (e.g. cleaning OCD is not seen as proof that hygiene is bad).
>"People love ebikes not because of barely having to pedal, but because they can reach places with the bicycles that are out of their reach with a regular bike. "

I did rides up to 180km long on regular bike without much problem. The reason I got eBike now is that while I have enough physical strength over the years my knees stopped liking sudden accelerations and steep heels. Ebike takes care of that part just fine. With ebike I still have proper fitness level, come back from my rides with the battery almost full and my knees intact ;) Sure I could do with wide gear range but it is just not the same. Much more fun on ebike.
PLDs evolved to FPGAs, which are far more powerful for that price. Homegrown chips would only be interesting for someone who regards ASIC design as an end, not a means, hence hobbyists.
P.S.

I guess we could summarise Rust's and Zig's core design hypotheses as follows: Even though both place the same emphasis on correctness, Rust doesn't compromise on memory safety (which, given what empirical data we do have, is an important component of correctness but certainly not equivalent to it), i.e. it adds all the sound language features needed to provide it, even at the cost of language complexity, while Zig doesn't compromise on language simplicity, i.e. it adds all the sound language features needed to provide memory safety up to the point they impact language complexity. I don't discount the possibility that there might be a language that could be safer than Zig yet less complex than Rust, or perhaps even as soundly-safe as Rust and as simple as Zig, but so far I haven't seen such a language.

Barring any empirical data, we cannot say which, if any, of those two approaches leads to better correctness (where by "better" I mean reaching the desired level of correctness needed for most low-level applications more cheaply), so we both lean on "ideology," where I prefer simplicity whereas you prefer sound guarantees — both of us in the name of correctness. I think we agree that both C and Idris are the wrong paths to correctness, but while we might reasonably disagree on the price we should pay for soundness, placing Zig's memory-safety in the same category as C's is just as exaggerated and misleading as placing Rust's soundness in the same category as Idris's.

By the way, I wouldn't at all be surprised if empirical research ends up finding no significant differences in correctness between the two, and, in fact, would guess it to be the most likely outcome given our inability to find significant bottom-line differences between "reasonable" same-generation languages so far.
I also do hope the eco-system stays as dependable and conservative as it is. There's no practical need to overhaul it, and in the end, it's about what works. Don't mess it up.

I do have some use for generics in my code: I've got a few conversion functions too many, but since they're narrowly typed, I don't expect a speed improvement, just a shorter file. Perhaps some of the (un)marshalling can be done more efficiently, too. Nothing worth losing any sleep over, so waiting another version sounds like a good strategy. I'll just play around with it a bit.
The method is of course bizarrely disconnected from the goal, but the author does specifically say he doesn't care, when someone kindly pointed that out.

One is left musing about the overarching purpose of such a document, given that.

If one were continue down this road, instead of wisely and immediately turning tail and heading towards semioticians and other people who know what they're talking about: try compressing each font glyph instead. the big ones? have a lot of 'stuff' in them.

This isn't uh. Robust, you feel me, against things like yeah. Serifs. For example but, it ain't nothing.

Counting the black, on the other hand, I must concur this matters more to the person in the department who orders toner, than to the information theoretician of graphology.
The correlation is that those who use "hard" drugs have often also previously used other drugs, including alcohol and prescription medication. Flipping that around to say the using cannabis leads to injecting heroin is the classic post hoc ergo propter hoc logical fallacy.

Perhaps the correlation is a result of cannabis being illegal in your country: if you break one law (cannabis use), the barriers are down and you may as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb and explore stronger remedies for your troubles.

So the questions that need to be investigated are these. Is there in fact any kind of correlation? If there is a correlation, is it causative? Of course, no true believer needs these questions answered, which is why the research into these things in not legal in countries where prohibition enforcement and punishment is big industry.

I had a very hard time following the point of this article. Didn't make it. It felt like the template was somethink like this:

Step 1: Make a claim about time/clock

Step 2: Throw a bunch of random facts that are true and conceptually related to time but really don't prove at all the claim made previously.

Step 3: Repeat

Also, clocks absolutelly do measure time and not produce it. Time was a thing before clocks came to be
"and the train wasn't on time even once."

Train delays are often caused by overloaded infrastructure, trains waiting on red because the line in front of them is occupied. Maybe the government didn't build enough tracks for contemporary commuter demand? Two tracks aren't enough on main commuter lines anymore.

(The core of the issue is that once trains of differing speeds - e.g. regular trains that call at every station vs. expresses - share the same track, they will interfere with one another. This does not happen on subways, where every single train stops everywhere and never overtakes another train.)
Good point, I had forgotten about that!

Are windows that face adjacent buildings (same side of the street) that big of a problem?

They're likely much closer together than any opposing courtyard windows would be.

It's a bit different since you have two separate, not necessarily functionally or aesthetically compatible, structures. But that almost certainly makes it worse than if you were able to design opposing views simultaneously.
Two things that come to mind:

* I met a girl at a party a year before I started uni. We had a 15 minute conversation in which she told me that studying 2 degrees is possible, I never met her again, I don't even remember her face. Because of that I entertained the possibility. The madness that unfolded [1] is all thanks to that conversation since it opened my eyes to look at the world differently. Differently how? Simple, people tell you as if certain things are true, but they are merely social guidelines at best. What you need to do is to test if this social guideline is applicable to you (sometimes intensively, sometimes on a surface level).

* I once overheard one sentence accidentally of a fellow student that I passed by in the hallway while he was talking to another student. He said "I study mathematics not because it's fun per se but because it teaches a certain way of thinking." That sentence didn't do much back then, but at the moment that insignifcant memory/sentence has produced a multi-week inquiry to see how this may or may not be true. And I think I have my answer, and I daresay that he was right. The way of thinking that it teaches is that it forces you to think very precise, only to learn that your precise thinking still has 10 holes according to your teacher and you correct those holes until that doesn't happen often anymore (i.e. writing proofs).

[1] Studying a degree in 2 years instead of 3, negotiating cum laude instead of properly qualifying for it, teaching other people how to study faster, studying 6 months worth of courses in 2 months. Note: with the cum laude, while I did not have the formal requirements, I was the only person in my program ever to publish a paper that came out of a homework assignment. That's the reason why I decided to negotiate since there were a few high ranking faculty members that made it known that they felt a published paper on its own (+ decent grades but not cum laude grades) deserved a cum laude.
I propose Doctor of Software then.
Go is marketed as having a programming model that is heavily influenced by CSP. This is one of the big selling points for Go and it is at the core of how it offers concurrency. It is hardly some footnote that is hidden away. It is pretty much in your face.
I think the ubiquity of clocks in western societies points to the fact that time cannot be directly perceived. Our perceptions of time are both individual and circumstantial. For instance, time dilation slows the apparent passage of time during sudden trauma like a car crash.

Even in computation, where time is ideally measured very precisely, event based applications are extremely common, far more so than absolute or even exact relative time applications.

Time is computationally and culturally important because of the need to synchronize. But cross cultural synchronization of meetings is hard even at the basic level because prevailing attitudes of “On time” are different in, say, Germany, Spain, and China.

Richard Lewis has written about these cultural differences of time. Here’s a sample of some of his observations. https://www.businessinsider.com/how-different-cultures-under...
