> If they think Coinbase or Tether represent a systemic risk, they will find a way to bail out investors because the downside risk of doing nothing is too great. It's possible some of the major crypto institutions have reached Too Big To Fail status regardless of whatever statutory authority exists to protect them.

That's silly. The only people who actually believe this are the ones who have so bought into the hype that they don't realize that crypto is not a functional part of our system of currency that underlies our economic production. Crypto is an asset that is prone to bubbles that provides little to no actual economic production. The "major crypto institutions" will have to be bailed out privately, if at all.
Bluey runs on repeat in our (American) house and I'm sure I've seen each episode a half-dozen times now. I find the Australian accents and cultural references to be a charming and fundamental part of the show. The wildlife, the fauna, the building designs—it all screams "Australian" at you, so hearing a bunch of American accents in that setting would be jarring and out-of-place.

The Aussie themes have even led to some history lessons in our house: a handful of episodes reference Australian soldiers (including Bluey's grandpa) which led to my kids asking what wars Australia fought in. Queue the (very) gentle introductions to WW1 and WW2, and the Pacific War specifically.

"Bende elma var" sounds a bit odd to say "I have an apple" in Turkish,
Possibly more natural is "Bir elmam var". or "Benim bir elmam var"
> Tá úll agam = is (an) apple at me. In this case it's the preposition "ag" that gets conjugated differently for at me, at you, at him... instead of the subject as in Turkish or the object in the Hungarian example. Agat = at you.

> Or for feelings: Tá ocras orm = is hunger on me. Ort = on you.

Same, except for spelling differences, for its very close relative, Scottish Gaelic.

> It's interesting how often m means me, and t or d means thou, across all kinds of European languages.

Most European languages are related, but it also applies to Finnish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_verb_conjugation , which is not Indoeuropean.

Also, the Etruscan (also non-Indoeuropean) first person pronoun is "mi": "mi spanti larices" = I am Larice's plate". The second person pronoun appears to be "un", though.

Uh.... realistically, in the real world, where people aren't being obtuse, police exceed their legal authority periodically.

Police have a wide range of latitude to determine that a situation is an emergency and can do a number of things to prevent the emergency from getting worse. Things have changed significantly now that many police are required to wear recording devices- it's now clear that some police abuse their authority.
Perhaps "philosopher's stone" wouldn't have triggered such a loud backlash - which was needed to spur sales even further.

Yeah, his actual perception is the same old defense in depth --> need of buffer zones one Russia has had since the Grand Duchy of Muscovy emerged from its vassalage to the Mongols. Problem with that is, that also clashes with current reality, since it demands a return to the status quo of the Cold War, with Russian satellite states up to about Berlin(1).

Sooo... Which do you think needs adjusting; current geopolitical / geographical reality, or the Russian perception of national security? Are you saying he's right that the status quo ante, up to Feb 23 was an "existential threat" to Russia by NATO? Or even a variant with Ukraine in NATO -- would that have made NATO suddenly much more likely to attack Russia than without it?

Holy projection batman. I agree that much of crypto is rampant speculation, but pretty much all of the legitimate uses of crypto is done in stable coins. People don't have money sitting in tether because they wanted to get rich.

Strongly disagree. There is a consistent overlap between strong technical folks and skills/personalities that make it more difficult to learn to sell, but you can absolutely learn it.

Yes and I suspect that this is why it was never added to AWK. I,and I am sure most people, have an AWK filter to transform their csv or whatever format to a format that AWK can use with an appropriate FS and RS.

Their "but why" section should really go into more detail about why filters are not 100% if your data has the possibility of containing your preferred line/record separator.

But real world, I have never had a situation where a csv-to-awk filter (written in awk of course) did not work.
Side note: Einstein didn't believe in black holes, at least initially.

Black holes are a solution to the general relativity equations, but Einstein thought they were just a mathematical quirk, and that in real life, they wouldn't have been able to form.

So ever time someone says "Einstein was right" when talking about black holes, then no. He was right about general relativity, but he was wrong about the existence of black holes.
>if tech wages came back to reality it would be affordable for mid sized companies to hire software developers to truly empower their specific businesses with software.

Most mid-sized companies don't have the skills to manage and deploy software developers that can solve their problems. Those skills tend to be expensive, and the software project, historically, has a high chance of failure.

So, yeah, the high price of tech wages seems to be correct.

Digital easier to read, but I personally think analog is easier to “feel”. I get a much more visceral sense of urgency when the minute hand approaches an anticipated position. And same goes for when the hour hand crawls downward to signal the end of the work day. Seeing it physically close the distance to the 6 o’clock position gives me a much better feel for how much of the day I have left than “3:24”. It really is like a pie chart in that sense.

At this point in my life I am definitely much more used to reading a digital clock so I don’t think you can attribute this to familiarity.
> Are you sure this is not just the amount of exposure to each type of clock?

I have a large analog clock in our living room that I look at every other day or so. I still find that I instantly understood the digital watch, but with the analog watch example I had to actually stop and look carefully at it for a second.

If I had a analog wrist watch I used every day I'm sure I'd be equally good with both. But I really think it takes more time to get used to the analog version. At least in modern society when we have numbers all around us all the time anyway. I'm sure someone who's not literate would feel very differently.

I’ve tried to rent out single family homes with rooms rented at the $500-$600 price point (boarding house) and was told “no flop houses, families only” by my local jurisdiction. When I told them I’d bulldoze and get zoned for a 4-plex, I was told my zoning request wouldn’t be approved. Sunbelt state, suburban area, older construction with no HOAs.

I’ve moved on to trying to buy an RV park or campground, or build one, and use tiny homes or Boxable for the structures. The purpose of a system is what it does, and it is not to get people into affordable housing. It is to protect property values and NIMBYs' desires, with a second order effect of disincentivizing density (even slight increases of it). Deeply disappointing for someone who works with the unhoused and is just trying to get them into housing that isn't a shelter or a tent behind the park.

A) There's no shortage of people make that argument unironically

B) If you just change "ban" to "tax to the point that the common man finds another solution" (which is the same sort of "some animals are more equal" situation that dragnets with selective enforcement create) the number of those people increases by an order of magnitude.

Did you mean "unsafe" there ?

Unstable aka Nightly features in Rust also need flagging, you must annotate to tell the compiler you want this feature (and so your code won't compile in stable Rust or in any future nightly Rust which lacks the feature)

No I don't think Rust would choose to make either nightly flags or the unsafe marker implicit.

In fact the opposite is likely, today unsafe functions have their body implicitly treated as unsafe, because you said the unsafe word at the start of the function. For short functions this seems convenient, in longer functions it would be nice to distinguish "actually needs its own safety rationale" from merely "happens to be in a function marked as unsafe".
Author here. Some people, who wrote comments in response to this essay, were focused on the intentional dishonesty of gerrymandering, and they wrote things like this:

"You can easily get rid of gerrymandering simply by proscribing an algorithmic process for districting."

There were several people who said this, here and on Reddit and on Hacker News. I believe they are defining gerrymandering as a deliberate and intentional act. By contrast, I was using the word "gerrymandering" to refer to the fact that any geographic boundary will establish a gap between the will of the voters and the final result of voting. So even if an algorithmic process is followed, and the damage done is accidental and unintentional, I am still referring to that as "gerrymandering." Indeed, the whole point of my essay is that if one group does its best to be fair when drawing lines on the map, and another group is evil and immoral and corrupt, and does its worst when drawing lines on a map, the damage done by both groups will be about the same, over the long-term.
i can't count the number of products i've worked on or adjacent to that have gained some traction, started to scale... and hit a brick wall when wanting to access the enterprise market. far too often, these projects end up stopping most core feature work to add hacky versions of whatever's required to close that enterprise sales gap. they slow velocity while incurring tech debt.

All it would take is that they specified what to build and claimed that you never sent them an invoice but that it was work for hire regardless.

Best to make sure that you have it spelled out that the code is yours, stick a big fat copyright sign on top of it and if possible get them on the record that it is clear that the rights belong to you. When in doubt, consult and IP lawyer.
Given that Russia directly, intentionally, and provably shot down a plane full of Dutch nationals, lied about it, and escaped major sanction let alone active war, I think it's fairly safe to say that an almost surely accidental airspace incursion almost surely caused by a technical error, of unclear national origin, that could have been from a presumptive ally, probably wouldn't have caused WW3 even if it landed in Berlin instead of Zagreb.

I highly recommend “How to Live, or a Life of Montaigne” by Sarah Bakewell. The book follows the life of the French nobleman of the 1500’s who was a wine grower, philosopher, and essayist named Michel Eyquem de Montaigne.

The book is organized by his writings on the various aspects of life, and his thoughts on what other philosophers have written on these topics.

I found the book to be inspiring, especially for personal journaling of my own thoughts on life.

so at least one of them is wrong

This is a semantic nitpick, but I don’t think it’s useful to think of these theories as “wrong”. They are both models that make predictions about physical phenomena that, when tested, are extremely accurate. They provide incomplete and inconsistent predictions of what happens at the very edges of physical reality, and they need reconciled.

The World as Will and Representation, Vol 1, by Arthur Schopenhauer.

It is still a very original book, and will strongly influence your thoughts on basically everything: love, music, literature, architecture, science, religion.

Volume 1 is also amazingly accessible, and often very funny. If you don't like dry philosophy books which must invent their own language systems, but still fail to bring their basic points across, you will be in good company - because Schopenhauer hates them. He frequently reminds the reader that if someone has truly and fully understood something, he can explain it in simple sentences. And Schopenhauer delivers.

If there is one thing where incompetent buffoons can act for far too long with impunity, it is local politics.

Local politics usually don't interest anyone except pensioners with too much free time on their hands, and even if people care about local politics that doesn't mean they take care about democracy. The result are people like the disgraced Sheriff Arpaio.

If my neighborhood is representative of the bigger picture, there are a whole lot of widows and empty-nesters living in 2000+ square feet homes. Out of the seven homes near me, two have been inhabited by widows for the last few years. Only two houses have more that two occupants. One of the widows finally sold a few months ago. The other I suspect is concerned that her adult son and grandchild might move back in someday. Otherwise, I can’t understand why she wants to live in a 2800 square feet house by herself. Maybe people just have a hard time moving on to the next stage of their lives until they are forced to.
