I think you’re reading in a subtext that isn’t there. Most people care mainly about what’s happening to their own nationality or ethnic group. Islam doesn’t create a unifying bond that overrides that in the same way Christianity doesn’t. It’s like how Americans don’t care especially about whats happening in France based on shared Christian identity.
I don’t have an expectation. The article is essentially asking why is the second derivative of productivity negative despite increased technological advancement. I’m just pointing out that your graph shows that the second derivative of productivity is indeed negative.
Work in a company that handles delivery - Customer service often uses it to see properties for deliverability concerns.
I think two things:

1) Things are about to get incredibly nasty over the next 3-6 months.

2) Things only stay bad until the Fed capitulates and decides to start rescuing things. In this case we will be choosing inflation over a recession. And I'm saying inflation as a long term trend, at least 5 years.

But basically the game is up. This all ends up in one of two ways

1) The fed defaults on the debt and tells the Boomers they were just joking about Social Security and Medicaid existing as interest expenses drastically increase while tax receipts drastically decrease from a baseline of 127% debt to GDP (this will NEVER happen. You don't default on your debt as the world's reserve currency. Why would you? This is the one thing the MMT crowd gets right)

2) We give up and take our inflation medicine to cure our sovereign debt issues.

It's going to be option 2 11 out of 10 times. History is pretty clear on this point.

To me, no one lays this case out better than Luke Gromen:

I'm not sure how bad it will be, but I'm just tired. I'm tired of living through "once in a life time events" every decade or less.

I'm tired of the world insisting that every company must be growing in order to be valuable, and then when growth stagnates, people ditch it to cause massive losses.

Can we not just have moderate success? Can we create a system that doesn't self implode every so often? Can we create a system where making money at all costs (including the decimation of the planet, the wage-slave workforce, and the engorging and toppling of governments through cronyism) isn't the the default?

I have to remember that people are _generally_ good. I have faith in the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and doers. What will happen will happen, but I have hope that the youth who have seen wave after wave of "being at the brink" might be able to create a system where this isn't the norm.

That's a ramble, sorry. But it's just what I'm feeling. I have to ride this wave, take care of my partner and children, do what I can for others, and hope it ends soon.

I haven't owned a car in well over a decade, but new cars in the 80s and 90s were just trash compared to the 2000s, and aside from the absence of manual transmissions and some models putting too many features behind touch-screens they only seem to have gotten better.
I don't know for sure about OMSCS, but in OMSA you can ask the advisors to let you take more than 6 credits and they'll usually approve it. There are a fair amount of people who try to finish it in 3 semesters, although that seems a little crazy to me. It probably depends on your course selection, but I would struggle to take more than 3 classes (9 credits) at once (without working), and I would definitely have a shallower understanding of the material.

I read a small municipal report from the early 1980s, and it was so refreshing to read; very slim, got to the point. Probably because somehow had to type it by hand, so anything not useful was edited out. By the late 1980s in offices and the early 90s at home, it became too easy to copy+paste. Document lengths spiraled out of control.

Agreed, it was one of a few VHS tapes I had in early college and watched it daily for a long while. Its different in tone because it was largely written by Kevin dealing with depression, with the others having little input or none at all (Foley just acted, iirc). That and the usual studio meddling, similar to the Mr Show movie.

There's a good interview in the avclub from long ago with Kevin MacDonald about it.

No it isn't. I moved to a new city and realized after a couple years that I still barely knew my way around. I then correctly diagnosed that the cause was the overuse of turn-by-turn directions. You're trying to frame it as some hipster cooler-than-thou thing, when it isn't.

At one point there was a piece of software called deezcloud which exploited Deezer's user uploaded MP3 storage, allowing it to be used as free CDN cloud storage for up to 400GB of files. I don't think it works anymore, and I'm not sure if it ever worked well (I never tried it).
That was not happening as a matter of course in the 1980s.

- All companies will be impacted, but smaller ones more and unprofitable high growth ones more. YC companies are at the extreme of both of these and aren't your gauge on the larger market. Figure out which kinds of larger and more secure businesses you can enjoy and learn something from working for during your first years out of school.

- Make a plan for how to reset expectations for your career (your and others!) in three years. You don't want recession decisions and salaries to define your career. You can clean the slate by getting and advanced degree, actively pursuing a management track, or developing an on the job specialty

- You are going to be fine. Having a four year degree and SWE training puts you ahead farther than the recession puts you behind. This sucks relative to your plans, but you can broaden the perspective and feel fortunate that you're not someone with less demand and mobility in the same environment. This timing isnt fair but others have been here and still prospered -- you will too!

Used Linode for years on several instances without a problem, very good support and reliable but trying to move out for a very small problem that their server backups can't handle any non default filesystems, as in, if I use zfs, their instance backup won't take backup of those because they do backup on a filesystem level and not on block device level and a fact that Vultr supports HDD block storage which seems to be a unique option among others to lower the cost of local disk access significantly.

I'm not sure what part of my comment made you draw that conclusion. This was a science team and we used servers mostly for scientific computations. Sysadmins jobs was to operate and maintain the servers e.g. make jobs run, upgrade, patch, fix, etc.

Virtualization massively simplified this, and automation decreased human intervention. With 250 we were definitely running bigger tasks faster e.g. a project that required 3 months of computing now takes 2 weeks instead.

Banks are regulated to protect your money from the bank stealing them. Before those regulations keeping your money in a bank was riskier than keeping it at home. That same situation now plays out with crypto, the crypto bankers create banks with high risk investments that nets them huge profits, but that will easily fold to market fluctuations. But them folding doesn't matter to them, they still keep all the profits generated before them, while you the guy who put your money in the crypto is the big loser.

>There is no international political solidarity among Muslims based on faith, Palestine has proven that.

That statement may be true among some of the political class but it sure isn't true among the general population.

Muslims generally also dislike terrorist groups like Al Qeada, ISIS, Al Shabaab, etc. If the Chinese started locking up those groups, most muslims wouldn't "care" either.
> If a bug can be reproduced reliably it’s much more likely to be found during testing and fixed

which means in order to find as many bugs as possible during development, the dev environment must match the prod environment as exactly as possible.

Bugs don't "evolve" like a life form - unless you code is self-modifying! It is caused by a permutation of all possible inputs (where the environment is also an "input").

Limiting possible inputs (such as functional programming) means you limit the possible differences between dev and prod - so functional programming ought to produce less bugs!

I think the objection is that they did not change their minds based on the merits of the situation, but because it suddenly was personally. Its hypocrisy because the relavent deciding factor was personal not general.
My issue is that there are only so many times you can go thru the process of learning a new language. It's monotonous. You have to learn a new way to create code without really advancing your knowledge. You can learn to create a loop in 10 different languages and still not advance your programming abilities. You just know 10 different ways to do the same thing. Not only that, your time is finite. The time you take to recreate the wheel could have been better used somewhere else. Learning a new language is like spinning your wheels rather than moving forward.

Memetics is much more potent than genetics. We're about to achieve much more than people could 2000 years ago, not because humans have genetically evolved to be that much smarter, but because we have memetically evolved much more sophisticated social structures. Genetics is still important, and augmenting individual intelligence should still be pursued, but memetics is in the driver seat now.

Tesla’s revenues come from car sales, not from licensing any amazing proprietary technology. Ford sells electric cars. Nissan has decent self-driving. Are they tech companies too?
Absolutely agreed, as someone who's driven around in an 80s deathtrap car quite a bit.

However, it IS unfortunate that we've shifted the risk to people AROUND those vehicles instead of the driver. People drive around in their noise-insulated, airbag-laden tanks these days and they're definitely safer. But it's unfortunate that pedestrians and bicyclists around those cars are actually more likely do die in the event of a crash now because vehicles are so ridiculously tall and overbuilt.

If you ask me, I'd rather that driving was more dangerous for the driver than people around the vehicle. They're the ones taking the risk when they drive poorly. It's unfortunate that the externalities are imposed on those around them instead, now.
Plenty of professionals are out there teaching on youtube. I can fix my car, my plumbing, my electrical, I can frame an addition to my house, I can setup an irrigation system. Rebuild a chainsaw, build my own furniture, refinish my floor, fix my drywall, concrete flatwork. These are all things I've done in the past year. The proliferation of digital video, high quality cameras, microphones and editing software has made it easier than ever to learn from professionals. Books just aren't the same thing.
Technology is popularly misunderstood as "gadgets and lab science". But the root of the word is shared with technique.

That is, if I have a technique for applying leverage, and I use it to make a lever, that's a simple technology. If I define a new system of organizing my home according to some principles, that's a technology. And so on.

It is certainly the case that we have found new techniques and technologies in recent decades. But in defining a "tech sector" and relating it to measurements of GDP growth we have tokenized a particular mode of it, one which some parts of society propose is increasingly irrelevant to the quality of our existence. It's often pointed out that wars are "good for the economy" in that more stuff is manufactured, overlooking the destructive aspects of war.

And so the definition of productivity is also worth questioning, because it's tied to a model of society based around the firm and its capacity to produce quantities of assets and trade them for money. This model has been in place for a few hundred years now(see early merchantalist writing) and is in need of reassessment. Much of what the economy has done since the beginning of industrialization is simply in the realm of creating more monetizable spaces and optimizing towards the "frictionless" everything-for-sale optimum.

It worked for a while, but at this point, we're basically hindered by the frameworks used to define value and enforce sale. There are huge realms of technical innovations that don't get explored because we don't have a place for them. Instead we have to aim to "fit in" with the legacy system.

Are there free resources for truly learning how to use and manage a mainframe? I would love to add "mainframe" to my resume, but I just don't have the understanding of where to start with it.

Let's say I were to get an emulator running, or somehow install a mainframe in my basement. Then what? What could an average person like myself do on a mainframe that would be useful and benefit me in terms of the job market?

I can download a Linux ISO and run anything I want to on a distributed system (x86 or ARM PC.) That type of tinkering is how I got my start/interest in technology to begin with. But it's not as though I'm about to process financial transactions in my basement for fun. How do you get started "tinkering" with mainframes?
Lorne Michaels has his hands in everything (including SNL), so that doesn't necessarily mean very much. He's very good at finding talent though. That said, yeah portlandia is pretty close probably, not sure why it didn't occur to me (I guess I was thinking more 90s-contemporary).

Still I think the thing is none of these suggestions really rise to the top of the culture the way KITH does for Canada or Monty Python does for the UK, or the way (as a different but related sort of thing) SNL does for the US.

No. Plenty of companies have huge R&D in technology. Tesla is a car company because its revenue comes from selling cars, not AI. If Tesla had to survive selling AI or software it wouldn’t have lasted this long.

Another valid view is that Tesla is a parasite on the public dole that also happens to make cars.
The article is about leadership in financial institutions choosing to interpret the Fed's policy and rhetoric about inflation as "hiring freezes to reduce inflation caused by rising wages and employment rates, please". I didn't say that the Fed is forcing anyone to do anything, just that there is a concerted effort to portray a cause and a solution to inflation in a certain way, seemingly coming down from the Fed.
