Nice observation and chart. Also really unsettling, do you think that housing prices running away like this might instigate some policy shifts?

I can't decide if the U.S. is headed towards a feudalistic society or not. If shelter cost inflation is accelerating it gives me hope, in a sort of grim accelerationist way, that housing will have to be addressed soon. I want to believe that we will see a housing campaign to "promote the American dream" or something, but everyone I talk to seems to think it's not gonna happen and democracy isn't alive enough to fix the corporate rent seeking.
Are you able to describe how you run yours? I scummed your blog but didn’t see anything about it.
What happens to a file if post-replacement the file is modified? Does it modify the link target, or is it copy-on-write?

I might want to have different copies as "snapshot" and "working", de-duping them makes any version-control-like system mutable, doesn't it?
Every now and then I become aware that things were not as I seemed to remember them. There's definitely some lossy compression going on up there!

Can you tell any other part of the compiler ecosystem that helps you write a new programming language in 1 hour?

This is supposed to be a fun article for experimentation in programming languages, not a new advancement in a garbage collection algorithm for increasing the efficiency of a datacenter by 2%.

My favourite new programming language is Svelte for example (just a parser that emits javascript), it's just a little different from HTML/CSS/JS, but just enough to make web development fun again for me.

You may want to try some empathy. Losing one of the primary senses is certainly a devastating loss, even though it is not mortal, as you point out. Death is not the only result that qualifies as devastating.
Second point is not true, even though Ukraine doesn’t have the same capacity for everything, it still produces some tanks and ATGMs. Also civilian planes with Antonov Plant (they weren’t too productive last couple of years though)

I think “production” here is not the most important part, even Russia uses mostly late Soviet era tech, slightly updated.

There's also an unusually personal dimension. I expect a majority of people in the UK have either lost relatives or friends during the pandemic, and have had to follow rules regarding hospital visits and funerals that were pretty hard.
What they could have done is not cancel the Keystone pipeline. Enact common sense energy policy instead of pushing all their chips into green technology, a key component of which is battery based and whose supply chain is heavily linked to Russia.
There was a big thread there of people trying to hack the EU-DCC using a leaked "signing key". The key was one of the example keys I've been giving non-technical people who are working on it and want to run the software locally.

It was the blind leading the blind but a lot of fun to watch.
The Fed's contribution is small. What an be done avoiding dramatic intervention re: monetary policy, working to unclog ports, fix supply chains and shore up domestic manufacturing of silicon for next time. And potentially leverage the defense production act to make more oil.

Then sit back and wait as it blows over. It's already blowing over, prices are stabilizing. Month over month 0.3% increase in CPI is 3.6% annualized inflation.
No where in the title or article did I read "compiler".
>In the long term I don't think this is going to work at all, either they need to change their policy and attitude or literally no-one will work there given the choice lol.

I wanna see what happens when they cross this threshold. I don't think any company in modern US history has had to deal with this scenario?

I suspect they know this and are running out the clock before they are forced to raise wages to compensate. Essentially squeeze as much margin as they can now until they are force to dispense a few more crumbs.

Its insane how crazy they are getting with the recruiters. I am a loser who spends too much time on HN. A terrible mediocre dev with no really outstanding roles, yet these people are now finding my internal company email and reaching out. They somehow found my private phone number and are texting me. Who knows what will happen next? Maybe they will knock on my window in the dead of night lol.
5% would probably do.
I think you’d be hard pressed to find anything else in human history with a 10-year or 100-year average value as stable as gold.

If you are paying the cloud premium make sure you actually utilize the advantages it offers – global distribution, elasticity, rapid scaling, high availability, disaster recovery. Otherwise what's the point? If your needs can be met by shoving a couple thousand dollars worth of hardware into a closet somewhere that is obviously going to be a lot cheaper.
Yes, also don't forget securing API credentials properly. As a matter of fact, I have a blog post coming about this topic soon.
I don't believe this would be true. The Appalachian Trail is basically that. We could be doing more there.
We moved to Discord and most apps only support Slack (looking at you, Datadog and Github!). Zapier has saved us in a couple cases from having to go back to Slack.
That is fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
As a language enthusiast who speaks ~5 languages at varying levels, I can relate to the feeling of "I am fully capable to have conversations about almost anything, but I don’t feel fluent at all". What I'd ask is: what exactly do you mean by fluent? In my opinion and experience, fluency is contextual. It's very hard to apply it in a generalized manner.

I'll give an example. I studied German in college, got to C1, and am comfortable reading/discussing the news, my hobbies, going out, day-to-day affairs. I learned a lot of my vocabulary by reading newspapers, and was regularly discussing geopolitics. I had no problem making friends in Germany, and I did not feel anxious speaking German. However, I would have trouble watching TV kids shows or spending time with a child in German. I have no idea what a lot of animals are called, or vegetables I don't usually buy. I've never learned how to say "You have sleep eyes" (or the local equivalent) or "Your shoelaces are untied" because it was never relevant to me.

On the other hand, growing up in an English-speaking country in a Cantonese household, I can say all those things in Cantonese. I'm very accustomed to a domestic setting in Cantonese. But politics? News? As if.

Folks often equate "Fluency" with "Speaking/understanding the language like a native", and I think this is a very unhelpful false equivalence. Comfort in a language across all situations and aspects are simply a function of luck and time, and folks in their native languages have simply had more time and more chances to be lucky. You can absolutely be fluent without equalling a native speaker, and honestly if you can have a conversation about almost anything, you're fluent in my books.

If you're looking for actionable items though, I'd advise thinking about why you feel non-fluent and being more focused. Is it humour? Watch comedies. Is it domestic conversations that won't come up by watching the news? Kids books, children's shows, parenting podcasts. Is it politics and general affairs? Newspapers. "Just speak with natives" is good advice in general, but it's not going to address your pain points unless you make intentional efforts.

You will get these things over (a long period of) time, but these are ways you can be more specific.

===

EDIT: I'll add one last thing. In some ways, fluency is confidence. Even native speakers will reach the age of 50 and not know the meaning of common words. The difference is, they'll have the confident response of just shrugging it off and learning it (or not!) because they feel ownership of the language. Meanwhile, a non-native learner might think it's their fault and something they HAVE to learn. I think this is why a lot of non-native speakers actually have much larger vocabularies than a lot of my Canadian friends :P

Wow, those projects look really cool! There's definitely some overlap there.

I'd love to see it used for other projects/languages. At the bottom of the post I put a bunch of ideas that I'd integrate with it, if I had more time.
> A smart kid in a vacuum solving the same problem OAuth solves will come up with OAuth. Try to emulate that smart kid. And understand why certain concessions are made on the protocols you're taking inspiration from because you might actually not need to make those concessions.

I have a different perspective. I work for an auth company now, but before I did, I didn't want to think about this at all.

I wanted to get some code shipped and build differentiating features.

I agree that the IETF and other standards bodies are not perfect (there are specs that get published that never get implemented widely and standards that are implemented that are retrofitted specs).

I do think that building on top of a spec is a great way to "stand on the shoulders of giants", get access to people's experience in use cases you haven't seen yet, and accelerate your development effort.

Also, there are a lot of folks who've written client libraries, docs, and tutorials around OAuth that people can leverage. How many devs will have experience with your "antidote"? I dunno, but my guess is the number rounds to zero.
"The entry WireGuard server will be able to see your source IP and which exit server the traffic is headed for, but it can’t see any of the traffic."

So server2 terminates the request twice? One for server1 and another time for the client who generated the request?
I don't understand how it's possible for server1 to not be exposed to the data.
Even putting the graph aside, could we really expect anything other than high inflation when the U.S. gov't has been injecting trillions (much of which is deficit spending) into the economy for the past couple of years?
I’d never considered SNI sniffing. Great point. I’m quite fortunate in that the ISP I’m with (AAISP) is fairly privacy first and don’t _appear_ to be snooping on me in any meaningful way.

That said, I can’t say the same for my phone provider.

Release from the strategic reserve is more PR/leverage/signal than anything. First, it takes time to actually do the release. Second, 180M barrels is nothing when then US uses ~20M barrels/day.

So it's more of a signal that the US is about to start swinging a bigger stick to get oil production up, than it is an illusion.

If generic jazz can easily substitute "important" jazz it just means your important jazz doesn't have the value you ascribe to it, especially not in the context of "things for background music."

I don't think this is saying anything about more active music consumption where people are actually listening to it. I personally get annoyed if more than 20% of a mix is songs I haven't already upvoted so there isn't a lot of room to bring in weird knockoff artists into my streaming--in fact I saw a recent article that talked about the current problem with streaming is that 90% of profits come from titles older than 18 months so it is harder to break through with new songs (the opposite of radio-driven sales where most profits came from new albums). That seems to be the opposite of "no one cares what they listen to so spotify can just redirect profits wherever they like."
I think part of the problem is that we haven't moved from the "nerd nerd monoculture" to more diverse cultures. What has happened instead is that we've adopted an MBA, Agile-driven monoculture instead. That culture is honestly pretty hostile to neurodiverse people by forcing them into marching orders and restricting their freedom to be themselves.

At least that's my experience.
By being an effective moderation tool. I like shadowbanning more than a simple ban, because I think it works better by not giving the bad actor an instant response. They can't use the feedback for further bad action, creating a sense of confusion, or being ignored. And then if we suppose that it works well, then with other useful tools in the moderators' bag of tricks, they can do a good job keeping a community's discussion above a certain level, thereby benefiting the community at a larger scale. I'm sure that if used in bad faith, it can be used to control a narrative, but in this regard it doesn't do a better job than other moderation tools, like editing a comment or banning users.
Ah, the irony of looking for a strawman in the thread where the person outright blocks people by their nationality. But of course it's just a propaganda, sure.

Sure, though I think the other implication from the difference stated is that critics have sampled randomly or more often and can therefore recognize derivative work where a target audience that shares a limited interest in film will almost uniformly perceive novelty. I think realizing something is a poor knock off is the basis of snobbery.. so it is strange not to accept that answer.
This is an interesting article. I'm going to ask my doctor about it. I had Covid in early November, 2021, and still experience some of the symptoms others have mentioned in this thread (80 percent smell back, some foods taste different, and some smells are different than pre-covid; for example, coffee smells like warm cheese to me now).

My concern is sample size of two patients for the article. Still, if it's a common procedure with low risk, it sounds interesting enough to look into.
Would love to see it. Whether tokens or API keys, I'm always interested in how folks recommend securing them.

Well they were injecting trillions over the decade following 2008, so it really wasn't that clear. But yes, some inflation was expected following the covid relief packages.
It is a compiler/decompiler, data models is just a simple example. There are also examples of generating and parsing controllers, views, schema and route files. But you can define your own templates, so you can parse/generate pretty much anything that has conforms to a common structure.

I feel like the whole company may one day go this route. Imagine a company run by an AI thats plugged into the market. No CEO needed, any jobs that haven't been automated will have tasks directly dispensed and monitored by this AI. Its primary goal will be to maximize shareholder value and it will do it with an efficiency and ruthlessness that even Elon Musk can't match. The coming end state of Amazon makes me appreciate my current boring CEO very much.

> working to unclog ports, fix supply chains and shore up domestic manufacturing of silicon

Much of this is outside of the purview of the US president. These are areas where the private sector has to take the lead. AFAICT there have been efforts to increase domestic manufacturing of semiconductors - Intel is taking a big lead here, but it's going to take at least a couple of years (probably closer to 3 or 4) to get these new fabs online. There's not much a US president can do about that. And much of what he could/can do is limited by congress passing laws.

> The Fed's contribution is small.

It's not. ZIRP has had a huge impact on this inflation and fueled lots of market speculation both in housing and the stock market (not to mention crypto). With interest rates closer to their historical mean this speculation wouldn't have happened.
They're not getting my email, so I guess I'll comment on the premise.

A job absolutely can get you out of poverty, assuming you're in a good environment. When I was 19 years old , you could get an apartment for $600. It wasn't too hard to find a job paying $10 an hour

So I had more than enough money to have my own place, hang out with my friends, go out with girls from countries I can't find on maps etc.

Unfortunately, LA has turned into an unaffordable hell hole in the last decade or so. Any successful society should make it so you can, turn 18, get a job and move out.

It's still definitely doable in other cities, in Chicago. You can get a two bedroom for around $1,300 or less of you're lucky, split that with one other person and you can definitely get a place making $10 an hour. It also helps you don't need a car in Chicago.
Some people are incapable of acknowledging they are struggling and making adjustments. A common antipattern among people I've met over the years is moving to <some city where rent is expensive and salaries are high> for a while and literally saving no money. Some of them even end up being poorer than before.

Best part...

>While waiting for the May 1 reset might look tempting to launch directly into the 9.62% rate, I still strongly recommend buying I Bonds before April 30, which will lock in a 7.12% rate for a full six months, followed by 9.62% for six months. That’s an annual rate of about 8.4%, and there is no other very safe investment that can match that return.

>I Bonds must be held for 12 months before you can redeem them. If you redeem them before five years, you will forfeit the last three months of interest. But if you buy near the end of April 2022, you will get full credit for April and can redeem 14 months and a few days later, avoiding taking the interest penalty on the 9.62% rate.

>However, I always recommend buying I Bonds every year up to the purchase cap of $10,000 per person per year and holding them until you actually need the money. People who have been buying I Bonds for years — like many of my readers — are very happy right now, collecting an annual rate of 8.4%, plus any fixed rate attached to the original purchase.
If vision were similarly affected, there would be less of this complacency about permanent damage to parts of the brain performing sensory processing.
Since you mentioned hedging, I'm going to skip over the TIPS/bonds others have mentioned. Those will protect that invested money against inflation but they don't provide any significant returns at current rates, and thus cannot act as a good hedge for your entire (diversified) portfolio.

You could look into industries or sectors that stand to benefit from inflation. I'm not sure if there's a good list of these. I would imagine certain commodities, REITs, materials, or consumer defensive could be good candidates. Companies with a lot of debt that have locked in low interest rates on that debt can also be attractive depending on the other factors in how that debt is structured.

An obvious suggestion for many people is to have a fixed rate mortgage and not pay it off early. Property values have been rising and will likely continue that longterm trend. If I have a 3% mortgage, then inflation last year essentially made me 4.2% since the value that the monetary balance represents has been reduced.

These are just my general thoughts and should not be considered advice. These thoughts might not be applicable to everyone.

A lot of people seem outraged about the speed of light limitation and demand to know when we're going to get around it... as if our current speed limit weren't <.0001% of the speed of light.

You don't need to go faster than light to get anywhere you want, in any time period you like. The speed of light is not the limiting factor.

The amount of energy available to you, and the tyranny of the Rocket Equation, those are the constraining factors. Those are perfectly ordinary engineering issues, rather than magically hoping to circumvent the laws of physics.

If you were hoping to come back and explain it to your spouse/sibling/Nobel Prize Committee, then yes, you'd need new physics. But if you just wanted to go, that's a problem that you could actually make progress on by studying actual science, rather than sci-fi.
Are you implying that definitions aren't real because they're not physical objects?
Don't forget Microsoft Power Automate (and Logic Apps). For anyone in the 365 ecosystem these become the default, and yet I never seem to see them mentioned alongside the more start-uppy stuff like Zapier and Imtegromat.
This does not disprove anything.

MSNBC and others look after their own interests. That interest can be at odds with their ideology. They do not have to be internally consistent.

Bernie Sanders wants millionaires (and billionaires) to pay very high taxes after certain cutoff --all well and good. He's a millionaire, the IRS allows you to overpay or donate to the treasury, but despite his beliefs, he personally does not overpay his taxes.

The Soviet Union believed in workers' rights, except when it came to strategic state enterprises. Same with regard to luxury --yes, they frowned upon luxuries for the masses, but they did have dedicated "department stores" for the elites.
I was pretty disappointed at them when they said that. I'm using them as my second option after that. I migrated to brave search as my main one (It has shebang support too).
