Considering Estonia is one of the most libertarian country, they are likely the only one actually measuring inflation correctly in the EU zone, not just playing with the index to make it fit a certain narrative.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've never liked keeping some of these settings hardcoded and wanted to provide some kind of configuration file to tune them. Knowing that there is an important usability issue around them helps prioritize.

Typical politicians excuse, tbh. It's not like this has any relation to actual freedoms, only bs political slogans.
>but for me there should be two types of inflations 1. a dilution of money

Outside of the fact that "some people say" (generally anti-fed types) that inflation is an increase in the money supply, why is it you think that?

In economics inflation has a specific definition: a general rise in the price level. It can be caused by all kinds of things. A rapid rise in the money supply is one. A breakdown in available supply is another.

>Let say a central bank injects a lot of new money, then all prices will be higher, but salary will be higher too

Maybe, maybe not. There's economic theory around the stickiness of wages; they don't react as quickly as the prices of goods. And that's understandable. It's easy to raise wages, but difficult to reduce them.
> Question which I won't expect the "inflation is always and only caused by money printing" believers

Who are these people? I’ve obviously heard of people complaining about fed money printing causing inflation, but I never heard anyone go as far to say that’s the only cause of inflation.

Scheje: A little Scheme implementation on top of Clojure
PGP is an encryption technique, it doesn’t include any robust and tamper proof timestamping mechanism. To uphold the veracity of a time stamp and to make a PGP message censorship resistant you need either a trusted authority to continue to host and certify it, or a distributed network of validator nodes like Tor (10 validator nodes) or Ethereum (thousands of validator nodes).

If you remove crypto from this equation you are left with a permissioned solution. Which is fine for many uses, but not the same thing.

A practical example would be removing crypto from a USDC or DAI transfer between two people across the globe who wish to send USD-like asset, despite neither of them having access to a US bank account. The proposed solutions are to send cash in the mail, or PayPal, or whatever, and none are the same as a USDC or DAI transfer.

I don't generally like restrictive licenses but in this case we're taking about running closed, commercial software on closed, commercial hardware. It makes sense to use a GPL to prevent one of those companies from taking all of that hard work and incorporating it back into their platforms for free.
During the Bretton Woods era, the quasi-gold-standard that reigned until Nixon floated the dollar, hourly wage rates and productivity in the US were pretty closely correlated. In the years after, which saw a huge realignment in finance, the 70s oil crisis, and a general weakening of labour power, this relationship broke down, with an almost complete severance of the relationship.

An increase in the supply of money doesn't correlate to the distribution of that increased supply into the hands of consumers (by way of salaries). Prices go up, and the cost burden of those prices are unequally distributed. Raw materials prices are usually first to increase in price and labor costs usually lag. Labor costs are usually determined by supply and demand of available labor rather than underlying raw materials costs or availability of money supply. The ability for governments and companies to borrow at low interest rates usually has a higher impact, but monetary policy uses interest rates to regulate the impact of inflation.
> But Italy has the "normal" (schuko or French) plug. The old one (three holes in line) are in older houses mostly.

That's a bit of an oversimplification. I was in Italy on Thursday and also early in May. My very modern hotel rooms mostly had Italian three-hole sockets, with a single token 'standard' euro socket provided at the table, that nevertheless didn't always accept my (French-style) laptop cable because the prongs were too thick.

Also, flashy modern hotels aside, I'd say most houses in Italy are "older houses". The three-hole socket is definitely extremely common in Italy in my experience. In fact, there's two incompatible three-hole Italian sockets - a larger one for most appliances, and a smaller one for lights.
Correct. They go up to 256. The numbers map to the "typical" X11 colors and the table is here:

https://github.com/endbasic/endbasic/blob/ac3eb5622a6db0beb4...

I've thought about adding other ways of specifying colors, like COLOR "#aabbcc". Would that be useful/interesting?
Interesting question! Well no one has complained so far, but I should definitely run them all through Google Translate to see. I could see this happening quite easily.

The one issue I did have was buying a domain on Namecheap auctions only to find it had been used very aggressively by spammers before going to auction. It made me think of the recent top HN post about how you could push a suspect domain to someone within a registrar and then implicate them without their knowledge. The Namecheap auction system happily let me buy the domain, but then as soon as it was in my account it got suspended and I got various emails from their security team about how many blocklists it was on and how I'd have to submit extensive documentation to get it unsuspended etc. Thankfully the support was helpful and now I check domains more thoroughly before I buy them...
Many states in the US allow private citizens to start prosecutions that then get passed to a public prosecutor; some also allow private citizens to attempt to convince a magistrate to issue arrest warrants. There are also a few that allow private citizens to try a complete case (ex: Virginia). It’s rare, and not allowed for federal cases, but is a thing in the US.
Yeah, I thought about that, too. Will probably do that, thanks! //edit: I just did that
> You will still get the state pension

What exactly would fund it then? Pensions system typically works by current generation providing for the previous. If we allow newer generations to "cash out", what would be the source of funding?
Then also some of this stuff has not been touched in years. So you can end up with quirky bugs. Like if you use picard in a particular way then give it over to windows media player, WMP sometimes will corrupt the file. However, if you tag it in the particular way it likes then it is OK. All of those fields are 100% left up to the interpretation of the program.

Then you have fun things like should you use "; " or " / " or ";" or "/" to do multi item fields. Or should the tagger put the same tag in more than once? What happens if the band/artist has that char in its name? What will the player do? Do you want utf-8 or 16? It is a quirky mess. Then lord help you if you mix in 2 or 3 different programs that have their own interpretations of all of that.

Oh then you can have all flavors of an id3 tag in one file, plus ape, etc. That may or may not be synced between each other.

Then there is the generic TXXX tag. Oh boy that thing is an interesting one. Random things are stored in them. Is it necessary? Some is, some isnt. I have seen anything from picard NVP bits, random binary data, XML purchasing data, volume leveling, etc. Then if your editor of choice does not recognize the particular NVP they usually just ignore it. So removing them is interesting.

Oh then the data in the tags themselves can be fun. Depending on your source data. You can end up with "Random Person" "Random Q. Person" "R. Person" "R. 'coolnick' Person" "Random P." and so on. Musicbrainz uuid tag for that sort of fixes it. But only if the player supports it.

There is a tool out there that does a sanity check of some of this. Unfortunately the name eludes me at the moment. I usually use it to remove extra padding. Some of the editors like to leave 2-4k extra padding in each file for if you make another update. It speeds up updating. But once you are done...

The point of Prisma is that it generates types for you from the Prisma schema, right? Are the generated types not interchangeable throughout the application?
You can do enable strict evaluation by default in Haskell, though. So, that must not be the reason why the language is not mainstream.

More likely, network effects can explain how something makes it to the mainstream. For example having a big corporation behind the development and marketing of the language.
CPI is supposed to measure the change in prices as it affects consumers.

It's obviously not perfect. Not all consumers have the same type of spending. In particular, the housing component...

Anyway - if consumer prices go up 10%, but HH income goes up only 2% - then consumers have lost ~8% of their purchasing power.
That does not make it less selfish.

I Killed My Startup
> You are very optimistic. Medics will sell expensive snake oil treatment

I think you misunderstood. My point was that it would benefit the families because a company would gladly pay a million bucks to give a dying cancer patient the first human dose of 40 drugs they haven’t yet done any testing on, just to get quick human feedback.

The “patient” in that scenario won’t likely get any benefit from the money, but the family they leave behind would.

Obviously this is not something we want to actually see happening, but the cynic in me know that if a company can save billions by skipping all trials and going straight to “dying human” they will, and they’d be happy to pay the expendable subject a million or even more, they still come out net positive.
How do tech companies keep growing list of services up to date?
I work in a mid size tech company. We have around 400 microservices, some of them were written a couple years ago and some are new. Almost all new services are written in Go.

Our internal team is developing a template to use for services - with common parts, such as logging, redis, database, HTTP server, etc., however one thing that they so far haven't been able to solve is keeping the services up to date with the template. E.g. you may want to mass edit your Dockerfiles to build an application in some other way, or update the version of Go, etc. The way the team would do it today is to edit the template, leaving the "old" behind, sometimes asking teams to update the services manually.

Of course they could use AST to updates, but I think it's quite difficult to get right.

How do other companies solve this problem? Surely, each growing company wants to standardise on a certain approach to build services and it's unreasonable to ask to update services manually (imagine thousands of microservices).

A comprehensive review of Binary Neural Network
It affects the income gap.

People in the startup sector earn _much_ more than other sectors - the difference is, if I'm not wrong, one of the biggest in the EU. So it creates a) a lot of inequality and b) drives up prices of certain goods (houses, apartments) because there's a noticeable % of the population in the startup sector who has now their sweet exit money that's looking for a new home.
I feel like many things that do this don't make the trade offs clear enough, in the idea of making it more usable. But structuring your data across multiple processes is hard. Getting good performance in MPI can be very difficult, and even the topology of your processes across servers and the physical network can have an impact. I'm never convinced hiding this complexity is a good idea...

I thought it was pretty common knowledge that inflation numbers are deceptive and easily manipulated. It's [controversial].

It's the decline of purchasing power over time based on a basket of goods / services. So it all depends on how you fill that basket.

The dates kinda check out. The movie came out in 95, but seems like Pizza Hut launched this in 94. As I recall their sci-fi writing wasn't as insulting as most sci-fi, so it wouldn't surprise me that this was inspired by the real PizzaNet. Not sure what film schedules actually look like though.
And after that you had Telex (and telephone of course). If your bar is that a transaction was agreed to over some sort of network even if money exchanged hands otherwise, it goes back pretty far. Certainly, ordering from a catalog over the phone and giving a credit card number isn't fundamentally different from putting that card number in an email (and, yes, plenty of people used to be fine with that) or entering it in a webform.
Note that the more rigorous the regs the more likely that a particular treatment or tool will not be affordable and the more likely someone will die because there just isn't enough X to go around.

There isn't a single definite answer, it depends on how expensive the regs are and how much they help avoid damage.
Beautiful design especially the subtle Guilloche, but I personally have doubts this solves a real problem and in fact it seems to go totally against the culture of crypto.

As a short-run art piece, it makes sense, but I can't see this being used in the real world. Sadly, it feels to me like this is just another project trying to cash-in on crypto hype.
Don't limit yourself to local job market.
Because at the onset of the project, I favored implementing structured programming constructs (if, while, for) and ended up with an AST evaluator for the execution engine, which makes it hard to retrofit GOTOs in it.

Some form of jumping or function calls is the main feature that will drive the next release.
You are right, and some central banks only use the basic interest rate as a remedy in all cases. It seems to me that case 2 cannot be solved through this mechanism.

This is/was a common concern about frameworks in Python like Attrs and Pydantic. And for the most part, no: it's just the right amount of magic. This is maybe a bit more magical than those, but as long as there is a coherent underlying data model and sufficient debugging capability, this kind of thing is usually a productivity boost with little downside.
for that matter, unconditional anything is dangerous

unconditional rationalism seem to lead to a meaningless life (i.e. the shitty kind of nihilism)

Am also MD and anesthesiologist. This is partly true. The true part is because anesthesiologists are more able to appreciate medical abilities than the layman is. The false part is that people, including colleagues, tend to judge on what they see and hear. Oftentimes, you won't work every day with the same surgeon, so you actually have no idea regarding success/failure statistics.

That's why I said you're what people say you are. Heck, I don't know my own statistics and I don't know where I stand in comparison to my colleagues. Yet I enjoy a very good reputation with colleagues, but patients often are weary of me because I'm socially awkward.

Can confirm. Mine is 1.63% + 6mo euribor rate (which was just raised over 0%). When you have the future possibility of 5% mortages, people will think twice about buying the currently expensive real assets.

On the other hand - can't say that real estate is exactly overvalued - recently they've been driven by rising construction and material costs.
>but completely impossible for country like Germany. There is not enough gas without Russian one to feed its industry.

Huh, if only they could have invested enough in their local energy sector, through I don't know ... NUCLEAR!, to keep their industry energy independent of Russia, and not shut down its few remaining nukes in the middle of an energy crisis just to appease an outdated political ideology like an absolute dunce, causing energy prices across EU to further skyrockets as Germany had to compensate its internal deficit by buying from the rest.

There's a reason people undeservingly vented their frustration on Germany at Eurovision this year.

>If you have more people or if the money isn't in circulation, the buying power will stay the same, therefore not causing inflation.

Exactly. Money is just another good in the economy (albeit a bit special). Its supply and demand ebbs and flows like any other.

This is one of the things I find so funny about the known quantity trait of Bitcoin. Why would you want an underlying currency that can't increase its supply? It will inevitably increase in value and people will substitute for other methods of exchange.
I'd agree. JSON is user-readable, but not really user-friendly and user-editable.

I'm okay with YAML but TBH, and I know this makes me totally uncool, for config that only nests to a single level I quite like INI files. I sometimes cheat slightly and take account of the ordering of entries in a section but generally speaking it's easy to read, easy to write, and very easy to parse.
> OP's example of moving is mild

Moving a scooter that is parked in the middle of the sidewalk is more constructive than destructive, because it unblocks other taxpayers without destroying anything. The scooter is still functional and shiny, just not parked prominently anymore.

Pine64 is based on an Allwinner A64 which has a ARM GIC-400. ARM GIC-400 is a standard GIC IP from ARM and compliant with ARM GICv2 specification.

I’m saddened that - as a society - we can’t seem to get away from the idea that the answer to crime is to “be tough on crime.”

This recall seems to be an expression of our basic urge to punish, rather than any real desire to address the problems that lie at the root of most crime.

We’ve tried the “tough on crime” approach for so many years, and all it’s really done is inflate the prison population (with mostly non-white people, at that).

Hopefully someday we can break the cycle and make real changes that will (in time) reduce crime by addressing the sources of the problem in the first place.
Inflation is skimming from those with savings by those who control the economy.
