Not sure if scolded is the right word (non-native speaker), but I think "False" as an answer to an rethorical question is only worth much if the point you are making after the false is one that is really obviously false.

If it is false only if you pinch hard and look from the right angle it comes of as "Oh come on, you just don't want me to get this right" — which in this case runs counter to the whole idea of the blog post as I understood it.

I had a teacher once who was like that: whenever someone he didn't like got something wrong he would pull out some pedantic detail to still make it look like the person was false, even though they really really were not. I kinda think this is just a little bit unproductive in an educational context.
OK, sure, let's assume inflation has been understated this whole time. (That might even be true!) Do you suggest that it's less understated now? If not, we still don't see the simple relation suggested upthread between inflation and a hypothetical "incorrect" Fed policy, since Fed policy has been pedal-to-the-metal for a long time.

It's just as useful on either. Error correction predates SSDs.
Updatecli focus on dependencies which can't be easily identified based on the context.
Hence the need to describe how to retrieve an information and then what to do after with it.

And then once you have the latest version, you also have the challenge to know how to apply that update.

More I dig in the dependency management topic, more I realize that we still have long way to go.
A fast swap like zram or modern SSD is very beneficial on a development machine as one allows to keep active file cache for much longer so grep and git on huge trees works instantly even if one have a lot of memory hogs like VMs or language servers around.
I experienced the opposite effect described here, and I ascribe the positive effects to lockdown. Before COVID, I ran about 5km once a month, and I was pretty slow.

I got COVID early on in February 2020, and while it initially seemed mild, the tail end was severe. Pain that made me worry I might have been having a mini-stroke, and after that lung issues making it painful to take a shallow breath. After a week or so, it was just painful to breathe deeply but otherwise OK.

I started doing low heart-rate running, trying to keep my HR below 132. Initially, this was really hard, and even jogging slightly too fast could cause my HR to spike to 180 and stay there for 5 minutes. But over the next couple of weeks as my lungs improved again, it got better and better. Within a few months, I was doing at least 5km every time I went for a run, and running 3 or 4 times a week. I've got faster and faster as a result, and I've knocked a third off my 5km PB time from pre-COVID.

My health hasn't been better for many years, and that's only because the lockdown conditions meant that I was working from home so could take a long break at lunchtime, we were allowed out for exercise, but otherwise the streets were deserted. I think lockdown was the best thing that's ever happened to me in terms of exercise opportunities.
> "Lockdowns have also broken everyone’s regular exercise and healthy habits."

If anything, I think I actually got a bit healthier because of lockdown. Eating healthier due to fewer restaurant meals, drinking less due to not being able to go to pubs and parties etc.

Probably got more exercise too because for a while it was one of the few valid excuses to get out of the house!
Haha, i have a more manual process.

The first US nuclear build out stopped for economic reasons. The first wave of reactors had large cost and schedule overruns, the growth in demand for electric power suddenly moderated, and new competitors (non-utility cogeneration allowed by PURPA in 1978) entered the market.

I’ve had a decent 15 years or so of using Expedia (.de and .com, depending on where I was traveling and which credit card I wanted to use). Prices and availability generally in line (maybe slightly higher prices) as Booking.com, without the in-your-face FOMO inducements.
"Leading to higher prices" is where the issue lies

The prices didn't get higher, they just didn't get lower by as much as they could have. That really describes profit though. While I agree that all profit is rent seeking in some way and thus unfair, it's not very useful for splitting up some practices as bad rent seeking and others as less bad

I think the internet has spoiled everything. Life used to be affordable now prices are going crazy everywhere. I blame the internet. If we didn't have it then we would have less wars, less drama, and more vary in living standards so everybody can get a piece of the pie. Now there's no pie left but the crumbs and crusts which are not very tasty.
Incredibly fit young people sometimes die of heart attacks. They had no diagnosible heart condition prior. There are a couple hundred ways the heart can fail, and only the common ones are tested for.

I.e. being fit and healthy will reduce the odds of a heart attack, but will never eliminate the possibility.

Do I understand this correctly in that if the list goes on, it will also show posts with unrelated tags in tag_names? As the filter is only applied to match_count?

So to only get blog posts with matching tags we would need to add a filter „match_count > 0“, right?

Lockdown was also in place for the control group so its effects should be accounted for. You could try to show a negative health effect of people in quarantine, but this is not possible if all infected are placed in quarantine.

If you are saying that the checkbox option is no good for fixing unnecessary job requirements, of course I agree - but that's not its purpose at all.

If you are saying it would be no good for improving the application process, I'm curious to hear why you say that.
In the past I've called and asked the hotel if they are willing to price match as I much rather want to be a customer of them, rather than Booking.com, and I think only around two times have they denied my request. Probably because those were very large hotel chains and didn't really care about one customer here and there. But smaller hotels have always accepted price marching for me.
Our customers don't even want to pay for something that bespoke. They have margins to worry about.

So instead we've had to make a system which makes it less painful when bugs occur.

For us that means making it trivial to run older major and minor versions our software, and an automated update mechanism which delivers new builds to customers on-premise in less than an hour, updating the DB schema as well.
I used to do this, but recently I (somehow) got kicked into the upper tier of Booking.com’s genius program. The 20% discount you get by using B.c in that tier is unbeatable - I’ve actually had hotel front desk staff in multiple countries over the last few months tell me straight-up that they can’t price match that low and I’d be better off just using B.c.
> the solar that does get made doesn't have as much transmission losses through the grid

Transmission losses are really not a significant problem. Average US transmission losses are less than 6%, Norway just over, and UK about 8%.

Large solar farms are much cheaper to build per kW and are still quite local to where the energy is consumed so the losses for them will be much less than the current national averages

Mind you I'm not arguing against subsidizing rooftop solar, just that transmission losses are not a major factor in the argument.
Thanks, this is a new one for me. I've been happy with hotels.com for a very long time, but now I'll start comparing here. I'm amazed that Destinia appears to still be independent. Usually by this age of successful travel company, they would be owned by Expedia or Booking (Holdings).
There certainly was some disruption in gyms as workout places, but I'd be cautious about systematic conclusions like "broken everyone's regular exercise and healthy habits" given observable factors like:

* increased personal time for workouts for anyone working remotely (or forgoing employment entirely)

* dramatically increased demand & prices for home exercise equipment

* shifts to cooking at home

March / April 2020 seemed to be marked by a lot of people going outside and running. Personally,

While I don't think there's anything super sustentative in the blogpost itself pretty much the exact same thing happened in Husum a few years ago.

> much more sensible than trying to live on Mars

It's more sensible if you plan to keep a bunch of people there with constant supply from Earth. Elon wants to build a *self-sustaining* city on Mars. There isn't any other choice of location, be it man-made, or in the solar system:

- that has enough resources, atmosphere, gravity, water to allow a non-trivial population to survive without help from Earth

- that is hospitable to life

I suggest you watch his previous presentation where he talks exactly on why Mars is the destination, and not somewhere else.

If an asteroid destroys earth, your Mars base won't save life as we know it either. There's a lot of handwaving in this thread on the technologies required to bridge the gap between Starship existing and self-sustaining life on Mars. Paradoxically, self-sustaining space manufacture/Mars colony will obviate the need for frequent heavy-lift rocket launches.

> What were we getting for our high taxes?

This is the crux of the problem and it all comes down to motivation. Politicians have exactly 2 priorities: being elected and being reelected. Every other concern is a very, very distant third.

In a democracy people imagine that the politicians they voted will do a good job in order for you to vote them again. But in reality politicians have always found easier, faster shortcuts for that: populism and buying the votes directly with your tax money.

SF administration has immense budgets that anywhere else in the world would solve a lot of (if not all) problems. But they preferred to focus their attention on populist issues of the day, like attacking businesses and corporations (the very same ones providing jobs and building housing), and various woke causes.

The results speak for themselves.

The court was unable to print pages due to a css media selector preventing this, so the - presumably bribed - judge had them printed at the nearby law offices of the influential husband. This showed up in log files with his IP address, and can likely be proven as the color printouts of screenshots have forensic features connecting them with his printer.

Since this leaves little doubt about an inappropriate connection to the case and possible bribery, which the prosecutor's office has a legal duty to investigate, this was considered the game over moment.

Somewhat bizarrely, the judge then claimed she felt threatened by this chess game. However, the queen actually remains standing at the end of the game.
You make it sound like they're not doing this all the time, every day, anyway.
The cost of nuclear is also insane at the moment.

For example, the Netherlands has plenty of space for wind on the North Sea. But sometimes of course there is no wind. If there is no wind in the Netherlands, there is a good chance there will be wind north of Scotland.

With the current prices for nuclear power plants, you can easily run cables from the Netherlands to the north of Scotland and still be cheaper than nuclear.

At the moment new nuclear is insanely expensive. So we can do a lot of really weird stuff and still be cheaper than nuclear. Will nuclear get cheaper? Who knows.

What we do know is that the EU has targets for 2030, 2040, etc. We don't have time to wait for nuclear to get cheap. We need to act now.

Unfortunate this doesn't reach the front page. It could educate the HN crowd on cache and performance.

“It has become fashionable to think that Karl Marx was not mainly an economist but instead integrated various disciplines—economics, sociology, political science, history, and so on—into his philosophy. But Mark Blaug, a noted historian of economic thought, points out that Marx wrote “no more than a dozen pages on the concept of social class, the theory of the state, and the materialist conception of history” while he wrote “literally 10,000 pages on economics pure and simple.’”

https://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/bios/Marx.html

The fact of the matter is that Das Kapital is a foundational text in economics; it provided an analytical framework and an early prototype of rigour (before the introduction of mathematical formalism) that would influence just about every clade of economics that followed.

Not accusing you of intellectual sophistry, but the sentiment that Marx isn’t an economist is seen as rather glib at this point.
Counter point: maybe prices (including on assets) should be allowed to go up, so that their prices better reflect their value relative to productivity?

The fed didn't really prop up any major industry this time around (unlike in 2008), just added fuel to the fire to keep the whole economy going.

Overcommit on POSIX systems is a consequence of fork/exec architecture of starting new processes. Fork must double the memory accounting if one disables overcommit and for a memory hog that starts a helper process that may lead to OOM when when in fact there are enough memory.

If you want to oppose the EARN IT Act, but don't want to spend the time, just use the EFF's "Take Action" page and have them send a prewritten email for you. It really does take just 1 minute. Here's a link to the page to make it even easier: https://act.eff.org/action/stop-the-earn-it-act-to-save-our-...

At a minimum, the congresspeople's aides will tally up the emails received to measure their constituents' reaction to the bill.

If you do have the time, an original email written in your own words might have a greater impact. To determine who your 2 senators and 1 representative are, use these government pages:

- Senators: https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm

- Representative: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representati...

Prepare a single email and alter it slightly to make it personalized for each of your 3 recipients. Use the form on the senator's or representative's official senate.gov or house.gov website to reach them, and set the category to "Communications" or "Telecommunications". (The form will block your submission if you include a URL, so don't do that.)

Nuclear is much safer if the construction and operation are not allowed to make a single mistake (and that is what it would take, as we cannot predict ahead of time which mistake will be the fatal one.)

Of course, then the nuclear stans will complain about the cost of excessive regulation.

Perhaps nuclear proponents should advocate investment in crystal balls, so we can know ahead of time which mistakes to avoid.
