Honestly, that's really not that important for what I was saying, because we're talking about the Fed. The Federal Reserve can choose to fight inflation or it can choose to inflate assets, and that lies on a spectrum. The "why" of inflation isn't nearly as important as the severity of it. If inflation is at 10% you're not going to debate it before doing something about it - that just allows the situation to fester instead of taking initiative. The reason we're in this situation where inflation is still getting worse, a year after being told not to worry about it, is because it's politically untenable to actually try to fix the problem. Meanwhile inflation continues to worsen while we make symbolic gestures about fighting it.

Yes, understanding what's causing inflation matters. I'm not saying it doesn't. But when you have a crisis, you want to focus on mitigation first and then root causing it after the situation is averted.

Also you mention two possible causes of inflation. Limited resources and distribution, and companies deciding to raise prices because they can. What about the Fed printing money like crazy, flooding the M2 money supply? That's the one that's relevant to this conversation.
The PCIe root ports in CPUs usually don't support dividing up x16 links into anything smaller than x4 links. Even for dedicated PCIe switch chips, bifurcation down to x2 or x1 links is usually only found on the smaller switches that don't have multiple x16 links to begin with—though PCIe gen4 and gen5 have made x2 link width support show up for some of the big PCIe switches.

If you want to load up a bunch of low-speed devices (and 10Gbit/s is low-speed now), the chipset is the right place to do it. Consumer systems really are not going to be bottlenecked by lots of devices sharing one x4 uplink to the CPU.

There's more about the project to restore garlic flowers on this page (though it looks like it hasn't been updated since 2008, though the Slate quotes imply this is an ongoing project in 2022, so maybe this is the wrong link?)

https://www.agri.gov.il/blogs/chapter.aspx?peopleId=606&chap... ("Fertility restoration in garlic")

- "In the framework of this project, our collection missions to Central Asia have gathered over 300 garlic genotypes from locally cultivated or natural populations in Uzbekistan, Tadjikistan, Kirgizistan, and Kazakhstan. This region is recognized as the primary centre of origin of garlic and the main and richest source for genetic diversity, worldwide. The collected clones were evaluated in Israel for their potential fertility and other useful traits. It was found that following stalk elongation, flower differentiation, pollination, and fertilization, true garlic seeds might be obtained in more than 30 clones..."

edit: Maybe this is the real page; its Allium related bibliography goes up to 2022.

"Now researchers believe they know what’s responsible for the bulk of the rise: Nothing. Much of the rise in autism is likely a statistical mirage."

I've kind of always thought this, ever since I read a tumblr post about how the sudden change in toddlers would have been called "my child being switched with a changeling", and other such tales.

Also, I think most of pre-industrial life would have been more bearable for autistic people: No sudden noises like ambulance sirens, solid routine and repetitive jobs, not as many large crowds.
Rails is still an awesome and mature choice for web development. That it is past the hype cycle is actually a strength not a weakness.

That said, now that PHP-based frameworks have caught up on Rails and PHP is heading in a pretty awesome direction, I don't have personally any use for Ruby at the moment. Using PHP I get a much easier deployment, better performance and probably the best optional typing story of any mainstream language.

Sure deploying Rails apps isn't that bad either, especially when using Docker-based setups and Ruby is a beautifully designed language that is worth learning for fun but for me the advantages are simply not as big as to justify the little bit of extra resistance. Probably would rather go for Elixir or something if I am already going for a more niche language.

Though were might be stuff outside of Rails that might of interest.

There are more renewable energy sources than wind and sun. Buying electricity is also a good option. Retrieving stored electricity is another.

The federal government does not pay for nuclear power plants.

Renewable is the only viable option.
BDSM hurts you not because it hurts you but because of the poverty of the imagination that goes with it.

I logged onto a fetish site long enough to discover that "Eternal September" goes further than I ever thought I did. There are so many dudes that have nothing more to say for themselves than "I have a dick" and chicks who say they are the best dominatrixes ever but when you ask them how they are better than the others they are completely inarticulate.

The community has such convoluted terminology for things and the way people talk about things you wonder if any of them desire anything for themselves or if they just want to be part of some community that has a strange way of talking. I guess it's cheaper than Scientology.
My plan is simple:
I stopped investing in the market for the moment.
Using that money to pay off debt and get my 6 month emergency fund back up. Should be set in a couple months and debt free.
Then just save every penny I can until the markets are bleeding and people are saying all assets are worthless.

Then I am going to invest everything.

That's kinda the point. People can bike under very different circumstances. If you're going at breakneck speed down a mountain trail, you definitely should wear a helmet. But if you're going at a leisurely pace through well-designed traffic, it's not nearly as vital.

And it sounds to me like Pedal Me wants its riders to ride at a leisurely pace, rather than breakneck speeds.
Radiation safety, including UV safety, operates on the As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle - "This principle means that even if it is a small dose, if receiving that dose has no direct benefit, you should try to avoid it." [1] I'd imagine that this is the principle that the American Academy of Dermatologists bases their guidance on. Skin colour has nothing to do with it; radiation = bad.

It's generally a damned good principle to live by. We know for certain that higher UV exposure = higher risk of melanoma. It may be a lower risk for people with darker skin, but where do you draw the line for how dark is dark enough to not need to bother with sunscreen? The article states that it's rare in African Americans, but not nonexistent. In the absence of other evidence, why not avoid UV exposure?

This article presents emerging studies that suggest that UV exposure does have some direct benefits and that avoiding it may be especially harmful to people with darker skin. If there's enough evidence to support the findings, the AAD should absolutely change its advice. That's the scientific process. The article uses the example of margarine to illustrate the point; we've gotten it wrong before.

Given the above, are you certain that the term "racism" is accurate here? What can we attribute to bias that can't be explained by a lack of scientific evidence?

>AMD's recent migration toward multiple chiplets on the CPU package has not changed the direct connection between DRAM and the CPU socket

This is true. However with the MCH off-chip and worst case inter core latency comparable a DRAM refresh cycle, AMD could in theory move the MCH away from the socket and see no major performance penalty.

Not to mention the Zen 2 IO die is just a cut-down version of X570, or maybe it is the other way around heh?

I would upvote if it wasn't for the stance of disagreeing with the implications of data that you don't have any reason not to trust.

What you describe clearly is a problem with data collection, where crucial unobservable variables had to be replaced with questionable assumptions. We should be wary because we can't fully trust those assumptions, and hence not the data, not because of what the implications would be.

Better tested, maybe, I don't know but I believe you.

More portable, yes, but it is complicated. Java runs on a VM, so it gets portability from here, if your platform runs the VM, it will run the project. However, as a user, I still had issues with using the right VM on the right version, OpenJDK and Oracle JDK are not completely interchangeable. Messing up with classpath and libraries too. Not so different from C actually, but at the JVM level instead of the platform, the advantage being that it is easier to switch JVM than to switch platform.

My opinion—we are now attributing autism to kids now that in the 60s, 70s, and 80s would never have got that diagnosis. Used to be we called kids today who are said to be “on the spectrum” words like “weird”, “troubled”, or “socially awkward”, and “nerdy”.

> I remember one person who responded to me about a DSP that had sizeof(char)==32, and how it was wonderful that the C Standard accommodated that so code could be portable.

The support for 32-bit char doesn't automatically make code portable between architectures with different char sizes. But it's what makes it possible to write a C compiler at all for those weird architectures. It certainly doesn't make code that assumes things portable to architectures where those assumptions do not hold.

> The C and C++ standards would do the programming world a favor by standardizing on: 1. 2's complement 2. fixed sizes for char, short, int and long 3. dumping any character sets other than Unicode

This would be a great favour to embedded developers everywhere, because it would finally free us from the C legacy. Rust and Zig look promising, and at some point I even thought D might work but now I understand why it wouldn't. I wonder if you're aware of the standard sized type aliases int8_t, int16_t etc and what's your opinion of them.
Getters and setters are much more useful when accessing or setting the element should require some other function calls. Caching, memoization, and event-logging are examples where you might want this to happen.

You can say that's not a getter/setter, but then your definition is just different than the people you're responding to.
I keep a short file of quotes about solvespace:

Ramez:
"I love what you've done. It's plain brilliant. Thank you."

Peneloppe PPE:
"Thanks for this CAD Jesus,

I have tried most if not all reputable CAD softwares and none of them felt great to me ( or did not keep my files hostage )...

I have not yet imagined something I could not make with SolveSpace, the latest being a print in place bearing with 50 microns tolerances :P"

Azial:
"Omg, this render performance increase on macOS! Its sooo fluid, thank you so much!"

Dave:
"Solvespace is slowly but surely becoming the Inkscape of the CAD world..."

timestretch (HN):
"SolveSpace's precision, constraints, and great keyboard user interface make it a fun program to design parts in. It is among the best open source tools out there."

It is quite an honor to be maintaining this piece of software that I did not create in the first place. We've passed the 50 contributor mark recently but can definitely use more help, it's a complex code base with huge capability for its size.
Since fossil fuels campaigning against nuclear is a "conspiracy theory". Here are some threads to pull on.

--

"At the top of the list of sources of antinuclear rumblings is, not surprisingly, the fossil fuel industry itself. There’s been a long and rather nefarious history of attacks from the fossil fuel industry against both supporters of nuclear power and the industry itself. We’ve seen documented instances of the funding of ads opposing nuclear power plants, such as this one by the Oil Heat Industry opposing the construction of the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station by LILCO, using the deceptive slogan “SOLAR, NOT NUCLEAR.”"

"Instead of actively engaging in the almost-expected business behaviour of criticising and opposing market competitors, they have followed a strategy of allowing surrogates to be the public faces of the opposition to nuclear energy.

As anti-nuclear surrogates successfully waged battles over safety, nuclear waste, siting, financing, regulations, radiation protection and exports constraints justified by carefully stoked fears of nuclear weapons proliferation, the fossil fuel industry took advantage of a slowing competitor."

Making helmets mandatory would probably discourage cycling. That happened in Australia at some point, and nobody wants that to happen here.

That said, some cyclists here seem to be downright suicidal. Helmet or not, if you run a red light against traffic while watching your phone, you don't seem to be very attached to living. I've even seen parents direct their kids into ridiculously dangerous situations. Fortunately car drivers pay attention even to stupid cyclists here.
> Buy low, sell high. Save cash and be patient.

Great advice. So, ummmmm, how long is patient enough? 18 months, 3 months? What's low? Is this the lowest it's going to get? If you have answers to all of this, I want to invest in your fund.
This is just the eternal conflict between people's freedoms.

Negative liberties ("freedom from") are limited and relatively easy to regulate. If you ban people from killing each other and stealing their property, almost everyone agrees it's not a huge burden. While these liberties sometimes come into conflict, such situations tend to be rare.

In practice, people care more about positive liberties ("freedom to"). In particular, they want the freedom to live a good life. Unfortunately people have different ideas of a good life, and those ideas usually require other people living their lives in a certain way and providing various services. If you try regulating this, you start quickly making choices who is allowed to live a good life.

Because laws are insufficient for a good life, people make voluntary agreements to ensure it. If certain kinds of agreements (such as HOAs) become popular, they can effectively prevent some minorities from living their idea of a good life. But the agreements are only a symptom, not the cause. The real cause are other people. Without HOAs, the same people would try getting actual governments regulate the same behavior. And failing to do so, they would often feel that the society prevents them from living a good life.
I grew up in a society where traffic in relatively orderly, and we were still told as kids that same pattern: traffic side, other side and back
You seem to be confused. CCS is not a shared standard between the US and EU. They're completely different and incompatible from each other between the US and EU. The US version is objectively worse than the EU version and significantly worse than Tesla's standard.
"Shy away from numbers or concrete analysis during design. Good engineers estimate. Great engineers speculate."

"Shy away from numbers": I'm writing a calculator!

"concrete analysis": The intersection of Civ Eng and Maths?

"Good engineers": Hire estimators. An Estimator is often an Engineer (Chartered) and they estimate. The Estimator is generally rather better than the Engineer in estimating, because it is their specialisation.

Of course, I jest a bit but the essay was a bit slack in my estimation. We all have to deal with change on a far more granular basis than daily or even hourly. The world is a fluid environment rather than a static place and we have to live with that and we do quite routinely.

What I think our putative expert on change is describing is an approach for dealing with unexpected change. However, I think we deal with unexpected changes all the time and we do it quite well - our senses and abilities show that: Think about how complicated driving a car is.
It relies on native libraries like libjwgl so it does still have portability issues.

It's true that misconceptions are not the same as conspiracy theories. However,
misconceptions on social phenomena are more likely become conspiracy theories, because they commonly involve speculating other people's behaviors or intentions.

In this case, I find it very hard to distinguish. Is believing inflation caused by corporate greed simply a misconception or is it a conspiracy theory? I'd like to hear someone can elaborate on the difference. Like on what condition it's only a misconception and to what point it becomes a conspiracy theory.
Wow. I guess energy markets competing is a conspiracy. Pretty low bar.

> Well, we went entirely off the gold standard and starting printing money.

Germany had a similar dynamic actually speaking about proportionally less money in employees' bank accounts. And the explanation is simple and I think already mentioned, due to the reconstruction efforts after the war the economy expanded a lot and many people could raise their standards of living easily. Surely that couldn't continue until forever.

At the same time this paved the way for more hawkish politics both in the US and in Europe. IMHO this doesn't have much to do with decoupling from Gold. I think only the Money supplies M0 and MB were coupled to it but the others M1-M3 which are larger by several orders of magnitude can even be created by commercial banks.

The curve of M2 isn't changing much in direction during 1970:

This push for EV seems to be very popular with all parts of society - gov/politicians, industry, influential investors - with potentially vested interests and the media also (any publicity is good publicity).

At this point, any aggressive direction change from humanity has to be thought through well about environmental impact - of course no one has the incentive to do that and hence the gov has to pick it up.

EV is probably being justified as "loss leader" in terms of environmental impact - it has to be net bad for the environment right now, but eventually better for the environment. That's not good enough.
In theory, it’s a good thing - Bitcoin miners but up energy most of the time and that additional capacity can be directed towards cities in the event of another cold snap / heatwave. It remains to be seen how that works out for them long-term, but in general Bitcoin miners are extremely price sensitive on electricity so if the cities are willing to pay a slightly higher price they’ll probably get it.
seems like artistic license, instead of "here's how to do lambda calculus in Ruby" it is more "How to program with nothing / lets ruin Ruby and still write programs....". Which is fine, though I agree I think it would benefit with more of a shout out to lambda calculus. Just for anyone who is interested, back in about 1990 I got "The Emperor's New Mind" by Roger Penrose, maybe I'm biased since that was my first exposure to the idea, but it has a great description of lambda calculus. In fact it has a great description of many of the fundamentals of computability
