You may be mistaking short term and long term trends here.

Whats remaining to be seen is how long this glut of inflationary pressures continues. At some point, it's much like a bubble - it is inevitable that things cannot continue that way forever.

No, money is fungible, and its marginal utility only decreases when you have enough to retire. Another 5k is another 5k, meaning another 2 months that you don't have to labor. Dollars linearly correspond to future free time.

You really will get back that night you spent working: it likely afforded you many more nights retired, free.

I'm not dang, but I would suggest you review the news guidelines, both in respect of the content of the comment and commenting on the votes on your comment.

You should take the comment at its highest and assume the person understands K8s, rather than introducing doubt about the person's competency to speak on the subject by, in effect, cross-examining them.

I actually could do with a lot more knowledge being very transient. For example, I could be searching for how to do something in ASP.NET Core. In the year of our Lord, 2022, that means I'm doing it on either .NET 5 or 6. I definitely do not need results for anything involving .NET Core 1.1 from 5+ years ago. Even if it might technically work (which is doubtful, so many of the APIs have changed) there are almost certainly better ways that have evolved in the intervening years.
There's Zig and Rust.
> It's honestly like shopping at Kohls where if you aren't stacking coupons, you're the sucker paying too much.

It’s probably the US government that’s the sucker here. Probably a rule that they have to get the “best price” and that’s probably the cash price that no human pays because they all show up with a discount card/insurance.
I prefer asking for video rental store design. The fact that it's a dead business relic relieves from any performance consideration and allows focusing on meaningless "fun". There are no bad answers. It's interesting just to see how people envision a project top-down. Some people go for the DB, some are more OO oriented...
Also "skating" is ambiguous; for me it's skateboarding.

You do only have to write one language, and web pages are highly backwards compatible. You don't need to use any NPM packages.
This works pretty well, thank you.

Hardly. It used several external libraries, including those from Netscape and Apple, who also made web browsers.
What kind of licensing is this under? Can someone make a one-off hardware implementation and sell them freely?
Ahhh I was hoping this was referring to crypto as in cryptography. Oh well, does anyone have good low risk ways to learn to properly write crypto code?
> And so stayed up several nights and wrote tight C++ code to line up the data and raced the private team over the finish line.

I don't understand. Why would the university team have to finish it before the private team? If the private team finished it and encumbered access to the output, and the university team finished a short while later, wouldn't that have the same effect? Or would there some sort of funding drop-off once the task was achieved, that wouldn't account for whether the output was made accessible?
Memory alignment is important and languages let you control that and/or make them align automatically given sensible assumptions does have an edge here.

Just a random example,
I wrote a two lines Python function using Numba jit,
because I know in my mind that some Python behavior is going to make it less performant
and it is a high performance kernel so we need that fast (and also lower memory footprint.)
Compiling using Numba jit is no brainer because I just add one more line there
with like 10 seconds effort.

But the code base I am merging to has a policy against Numba
(reasonably as we are targeting HPC platform
where Numba has some performance problem related to oversubscribing
if not setting up carefully.)

So I end up rewrote that in C++ and wrap it with pybind11.
And the result is that it is faster by around 30%.

Since the algorithm is entirely trivial,
the only explanation I have is exactly memory alignment,
where I can control that in C++,
but in Numba jit there's no way
(both to guarantee the array allocated is aligned,
or tell the compiler to assume that.)

(The 30% number is also reasonable
in textbook examples.)

P.S. But it has a cost:

So it's an ~200 lines effort comparing to a 4 line effort...
I think the parent may be thinking more of "demoscening" the DOS kernel and basically optimising it to its limits. Yes, the original was written in Asm, but it's definitely not that highly optimised.

> Try finding a doctor while on Medicare; depending on region and specialty, only 2/5 to 2/3 doctors will take patients on Medicare.

One thing that I've noticed is that there are private practice doctors that will take Medicare/Medicaid but the wait time for an appointment is longer compared to private insurance. It's like they decided to space out the less-profitable patients to maintain their margins. (I knew a few people who had the same primary care physician but different insurances.)
> And I don't think auto-clone is a good idea.

yeah, thinking better I must have say "everything is auto-Rc or Arc backed" or similar.
I'm not sure that it necessarily does. They're giving founders money today at tomorrow's valuation. Having that extra runway can extend the time before founders need to raise again which should result in a higher value, which actually turns into a lower return for YC. It also means less money they need to raise so they can get back to building their business sooner instead of fundraising.
> Do you take notes?

I used to. 90 percent of them were about tools or other things to look up later. Now, I add those to the backlog, and the other 10 percent become Anki cards. These days the only things I write down are meeting related: action items, questions I want to find an answer to, and maybe 1 piece of key information I want to refer to later.

> Do you compile/rewrite notes?

Nope! I may adjust Anki cards if the phrasing turns out awkward, or if there's a term collision. And if a card is tagged 'leech' thats a sign to rework it but generally I'm not trying to memorize things word for word where this might help.

In practice the hardest cards, the ones that get marked leech, are the bill of rights. Especially the middle ones that are basically a paragraph joined into a single sentence. Like, I know a warrant needs to be supported by evidence but its not always immediately front of mind that this is a 4th amendment right (instead of say 5th or 6th), or the exact phrasing. Fortunately this is a hobby topic rather than a professional need -- and hopefully if it were I'd be better at it =)

> 3) Does spaced repetition work for you?

I think so. For papers I generally extract a few key topics or points. Today's was three sentences about Cox proportional hazards, after hearing about his most famous contribution in an obit thread.

4) Do you have a methodology for extracting common themes/patterns across topics?

No? My general approach is to spend a few minutes thinking about how I might apply it in my work, and the go looking to find out who did / what they found. So for proportional hazards, I ended up googling and found a few places where this was applied, like analyzing churn rate (https://towardsdatascience.com/strategies-for-customer-reten...)

But note that I'm not trying to merge two topics of study in order to unlock some deeper truth, or better learn a general pattern. I'm trying to advance the state of the art in a field I consider myself pretty good at by learning how other fields work and stealing their best ideas. Kind of the inverse of the Hamming / Feynman jumping fields every five years.
Thanks. Does WebGL 2 work in your Firefox? It's fast because computations are done on the GPU. It works in Firefox here on my phone.
Government revenue and outlays vary significantly throughout a fiscal year.

For example, the US government is currently operating under a continuing resolution since October 1, 2021. A continuing resolution is a legally binding act that freezes budgets to the levels of the previous fiscal year.

If an appropriations bill is adopted in the next few weeks, government departments will start acting on their budget authorities set forth in the already passed Authorization Acts. The Defense Department is poised to spend $60 billion more in FY22 than in FY21. Expect the temporary budget surplus to decrease when (if?) an appropriations bill is passed.

If an appropriations bill is not passed, Congress could pass another CR for the rest of the fiscal year. If neither a budget nor a CR is passed, a government shutdown happens. It doesn't happen often, but it happens more often than it should, which is never.

The federal budget process of the United States is unnecessarily complicated. Congress basically has to pass the budget twice: first in an authorization bill, and second in an appropriations bill. An authorization bill is an act laying out the various spending authorities of the government for the fiscal year. But it doesn't grant the government the right to withdraw funds from the Treasury Department. An appropriations bill is that. Authorization acts are like your parents giving you a list of products they want you to purchase at the grocery store. An appropriations bill is the actual money to buy the products with.
Decades before Heroku existed? Can you back that up?
Plus in some of those examples, they leveraged open source libraries, so they reused preexisting code.
Oh, well yeah, other countries have less regulation. It's not possible in the US right now.

But good to hear you can in Canada!
Love the writing style. Much more amusing to read and learn.
Perl saved a lot of projects back in those days, and was pretty much the language of choice in the early internet days. In fact going as recently as 2015, was the de facto language of choice for server-side/backend applications.

Most people in this forum probably work in the internet industry. But Perl was huge in nearly every industry back then.

Things come and things go, but some tools leave behind an immense legacy and culture, Perl is one of those tools. It's not going anywhere and will come installed default in a lot of unixy distributions for years to come.

Did you read the article? This is ‘waste’ gas that you encounter in the oil drilling process.. they are using that to extract some value from an otherwise harmful waste. What is wrong with that approach?
I like the design of your modchip. I'm a lead engineer on a pretty expensive multi-PCB product so whenever we have updates either from unavailable parts or customer directed changes, we have to add in little patch boards. We've had to fit all kinds of shaped PCBs into tiny areas. Sometimes we get lucky and there's a perfectly sized empty spot that can take some glue, sometimes we don't get lucky and we'll have a small board mounted to whatever nearby screws we can find. As difficult as it is making changes to a design that was never meant to be flexible, I both love and hate the challenge so I can definitely appreciate creative solutions like yours.
The post is great, but it's important to remember it's only a first step in $Famous_company's story. Some rewrites are resume padding and PR to get more hires, and a talk a big conference, but are rather harmless. Others succeed, and were good ideas. But other times, the result is a big failure. One of my personal favorites involves a $Hyped_technology having a well defined trap that then leads us to another article, 1 to 2 years later, explaining how they migrated away from $Hyped_technology, often to something boring.

But the really sad outcome is that $Hyped_technology is a big failure, but $Famous_company spent too much effort, and $Famous__technical_person too much of their social capital, to want to talk about it. Then all kinds of little startups that have heard the talks, read the blog posts, and then decide that if the solution was good enough for $Famous_company, it must be good enough for them!... except that it wasn't, and a lot of expensive engineers spent a whole lot of time making things work again, abandoning $Hyped_technology altogether. Unfortunately, the landmine documentation advertising the decision is still everywhere, including getting referred to by sales engineers of $Hyped_technology.
Yeah but everyone who learns $FLASHY_LANGUAGE and $HYPED_TECHNOLOGY can put that shit on their resumes and after they've driven the startup into the dust they can land a job at $FAMOUS_COMPANY.

And really it'll be better for your career to embrace this and learn the tech stack by fucking up some unsuspecting startup and then bouncing somewhere big enough to actually use it.
Ah that's a punchy term! Yes I encounter way more "soydevs" than "techbros".
This is a not-so-smart analysis. The market doesn't think that inflation number will be sustained.

However if it does sustain, the $15,000,000,000,000 in debt maturing in less than 5 years will be very hard to refinance at the same interest rates.
Same on Mobile Safari.
I have a ton of experience with this. I've been running a "Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight" fan site since early 1998. We've been in it so long that probably over 90% of our outbound links are at best broken or at worst lead to malware or pornography (of course I clean it up when I find it -- by removing the links and adding a note). And yet, stuff that people have been directly contributing to our site since 1998 is still available, still open, and freely available without creating an account. The only thing that saves content like this is people who care. Reddit doesn't care, they're in it for the dollars. Facebook doesn't care, google doesn't care (look how many services have been removed over the years).

I miss the days of every site having their own community. I remember when most game companies would put a landing page for each new game that came out and that was about it. Hundreds or thousands of fan sites popped up and provided a community that far outlasted the direct revenue of most games. Then gaming companies decided to create their own "communities," but they're stale, without personality, and as soon as the game isn't making money anymore, the sites languish and are eventually deleted, along with all the helpful content that has been posted by users.

I'm completely torn because you can't count on idiots like me (and all the people who have helped with my site over the decades!!) to keep things going forever.

My take on this was to make all the content "open" -- it started with all our static assets being converted from 25 years of spaghetti HTML to clean markdown and a static site generator. Anyone can clone the repo, recreate the site (including all the static content) and upload it wherever they want. The next step was to open-source the dynamic back-end. The remaining two steps are somehow regularly distributing a database dump (with personal information stripped out, of course) and then finally figuring out how to make available regular dumps of the content that doesn't fit in git or the database (like the ~10G of maps, mods, and screenshots that users have submitted). These two are still being planned.

I wish every site with anything to say had a plan for what to do when the owner is done maintaining it. Figure out a way to make the important content open and up. Internet Archive is great but they miss so much stuff, especially zip files, image files, etc.

I don't think any of this works with a profit motive, however.

I thought it was beautiful, specially the meditative state of the desert silence.

I find 'tech bro' characterization uncalled for here (and uncharitable in general) -- dismissing someone's personal writing based on stereotype. Stereotyping any large number of people (could be psychologists, writers, scientists or tech workers) never leads to a good reflection. It's more in vogue to do so with well off people, but no less uncharitable.
Man, BoA sure lets a lot through. I couldn't even wire 8k without my physical presence - this was during COVID lockdown of all things as well! I know nothing of buying a house, but when I bought another, more expensive car that required a loan, the bank went through the whole rigamaroo calling a bunch of people to verify all the details (after all, I was going to buy their car with their money) - took nearly an hour to actually get the money after being approved for the loan days beforehand with all their internal busywork. All for something that, what, might have covered half of the wages for the day of the employees working there at the branch office after three years of interest? I think I'll be staying with my tiny, irrelevant local bank after all!

I worked at a financial institution, no way you could open an account, deposit some spare change, and then withdraw 900k after a few weeks especially in America. Compliance would be all over that account, which is probably why they got the money back anyhow because the crooks would have a lot of talking to do after getting that much money in their account. KYC and AML is required for both sides of the wire transfer.
You would learn way too fast that it lacks any purpose ! Better spend time and money learning all the way to shuffled tokens online before learning the final lesson: most people dont recognize the value you spent on them.

Interventional radiologist here. The short answer is "no." I personally perform more than 100 different types of procedures, but there are lots of variations of each procedure, and different techniques for performing the same procedure. (And you need to know what to do when something unexpected happens in the middle of a procedure)

There are thousands of CPT codes, and even more procedures, since one CPT code could describe multiple different procedures, and some procedures involve combining multiple CPT codes. There is no formal approval process for new surgical procedures, and there is no comprehensive list. New procedures are invented all the time.

Your best bet is to pick a specific area, then find a surgeon to shadow. A lot of details of surgical techniques are not written down anywhere, and you learn by working with other surgeons. There are a few books that go through the basic procedural details. For example, Zollinger's "Atlas of surgical operations" is a good reference for abdominal surgery, and Kandarpa's "Handbook of interventional radiologic procedures" is a good reference for interventional radiology procedures. "Biodesign" by Zenios is a good introduction to inventing new medical devices.
That's what the Fed buying $120B a month in Treasuries is for. You don't really think people accept negative 5% real yields on their investments?

From the article:

> For the first four months of the 2022 fiscal year that started Oct. 1, the Treasury reported a deficit of $259 billion, a 65% decline from the year-earlier deficit of $736 billion.

At $120B a month basically the entire deficit is being printed away.

This seems like a volatile number - from the article

>The January receipts grew by 21% to $465 billion, boosted by a 21% jump in individual withheld income and payroll taxes that reflected higher employment and earnings due to the economic recovery.

>January outlays fell 37% to $346 billion, partly as they did not include $142 billion in individual stimulus payments sent in January 2021.

>The surplus for the month also was helped by the recognition of $70 billion in proceeds from a wireless spectrum auction, a U.S. Treasury official said.

The trend-line is promising, I'd be curious if inflation is moving income into more taxable sources (at least on paper).
I agree that it is probably not the optimal way to write an educational piece. However, in our year of 2022, the amount of content available online is absolutely staggering. If there weren't at least some pieces out there that tried to scenarize concepts like this, I would be disappointed - it's an experiment worth attempting.
Thank you so much for confirming this - I always wondered whether that's all it actually meant beyond the abstraction. TFA doesn't actually explain it despite the title(!)
