Just for fun, I thought I’d do the math on deflationary economics:

#!/usr/bin/env raku
use v6;

multi sub deflate($n, $r, $y)
{
my $m = $n;
loop (my $i = 0; $i < $y; $i++)
{
$m = deflate($m, $r);
}
$m;
}

multi sub deflate($n, $r)
{
$n * (1 + $r);
}

sub MAIN(:$rate = 0.0225, :$years = 10)
{
my $purchasing-power = 1;
my $deflate = deflate($purchasing-power, $rate, $years);
my $output = qq:to/EOF/.trim;
After $years years of deflation at a rate of {$rate * 100}% per year,
purchasing power is {$deflate * 100}% of what it was initially.
EOF
$output.say;
}

Without inflation, your personal wealth would grow by the average inflation rate target plus GDP growth, compounding each year.

Assuming an average inflation rate target of 2% per year (per the Fed) and an average GDP growth rate of 0.25% per year, your real purchasing power would grow by about 25% per decade.

Under this scenario, you could mimic a universal basic income of $1000 per month upon saving a total of $480,307.

Bonus: your monthly “UBI” could never be shut off by your government.
Wouldn't it be a more compelling product if you sold the model, not the model-making tool? If I was the city of Portland, I would rather just buy the pre-made Portland model than have an intern build it with CityEngine.
It's clear the GP isn't making a categorical claim about disapproval.

It's more likely they think that the victims here had every available opportunity to exercise basic diligence. I'm not sure I actually agree with that (I think a lot of the people getting scammed here are being predated on by a market that thrives on misinformation), but that's a far cry from how you've interpreted the comment.

So diabetics will die without it because?
Probably best to just hold on to it. Annual inflation of 10% sounds awful, but over short periods it's not that bad.
I find this one a little hard to believe.

Regardless, what are some of the trade offs this implementation makes? (aka the cons)

There are few actual good use cases for NFTs in ways that actually matter, buuuut... even in the case that a highly talented but unknown artist hits it big one day, there's nothing that is going to prevent the current owner from selling the art without going back to the NFT to compensate the artist. That's a pipe dream outside of the purely digital space.
We’re not really talking about more nuanced things. I know “Nazis” is a logical extreme, but we do have a bunch of them around and they do really support my murder. When I say “I”, “me” and “my” in that context, I do mean “I”, “me” and “my”.

The most common example of what we’re talking about is LGBTQ+. It’s essentially a mainstream conservative position to try to legislate trans people out of existence, for example. That’s “nuanced” in the same way that slavery was “nuanced” 150 years ago — it‘s clear what’s right and what’s wrong, but there are a lot of bigots going to bat for the wrong side.
Tanks can also destroy more stuff than they cost.

Charge storage fees until they pick up the packages and return the money. Bet their courtesy will suddenly extend much further.
Very impressive, thank you. I admit I'm not much of an early adopter -- hence my comment that I'll be waiting for the official 5.0 release.

I've scanned several articles (some made by you) and I very much like what I'm seeing.
Any plugin that doesn't access the file system directly but uses the appropriate file system and buffer manager APIs should work. But because we scale to 0 when we detect no activity we might have issues with background tasks, so your milage may vary.

Next, we have not yet optimized for replication outside Neon Cloud, nor do we have sideloading of extensions, so to use Debezium you'd have to self-host Neon for now.

Most people here are dunking on this specific industry not paying enough for skilled labour but the problem is more generic- that’s how we build the society around capitalism and we still seem to value capital more than labour.
> and yet no one besides some dingbats that watched terminator too many times

and missed the moral of the story...

> This whole argument is stupid and predicated on a vast misunderstanding of how combined arms operations work. Systems are not discard because they're vulnerable, if they can be employed in a way that min/maxes their impact vs vulnerability.

The mythology of the board game Go is that it was invented by a Chinese general in an attempt to teach his son strategy and tactics. In that domain there is a concept called Aji, in which you should not write off pieces on the board that are doomed. The fact that they are still on the board makes them useful, even if they can't possibly be saved, saved only by gross error by the opponent, or saving them is possible but devastating to your overall prospects.

The workplace isn't some island where we stop being a society that shouldn't expect tolerance.

It baffles me that people think it's ok to be a bigot anywhere, including the workplace. You don't get a free pass from the bare minimum societal expectation because you're sitting in a cubical.

I hadn't heard of Toit. That's very interesting.

Moddable's XS engine is great, and covers the full ECMAScript spec. I did a bit of contract work on the XS engine a while back, and I participated for some time as an invited expert on the ECMA TC53 committee for JS on embedded systems alongside Moddable and can say that I have a lot of respect for what they've done. For people who are running large enough devices to support XS, I highly recommend it.

I created Microvium in part because over my career as a firmware engineer there was a common pattern that most of the devices I worked on were just way too small to run any of the off-the-shelf JS engines. Even on larger microcontrollers, it's a big commitment for a company to allocate 50kB+ of ROM and 1kB+ of RAM just to run JavaScript, especially since the firmware teams were dominated by C programmers who consider JS to be very low on the priority list.
And, when it is used for storage, it is at higher altitude, so evaporates less.
Exactly.

What everyone here keeps forgetting is that you just need to look what happened to Netflix. It effectively almost destroyed them from the inside out. If the stock wasn't enough for them to change, they also changed their hiring memo exactly to what Kraken has done to reject the woke nonsense and focus on the product and not the politics.

In case of Netflix it was actually the DEI people that were the first to get laid off after they cut and cancelled the DEI related films and shows that were already signed. Perhaps cementing the fact that it almost ruined them, low viewing numbers and part of the cause for tens of thousands of users cancelling.

I believe that the Kraken CEO is avoiding a situation that just happened to Netflix and it indeed seems to be very reasonable to eliminate 20 bad eggs dragging everything down as a mission focused company and they have made it clear that they won't change any of that.

Sound very fair as the goal is to make money and to continue to pay the salaries of your employees.
We had ~10 apps on heroku until last month. We have been migrating to Cloud Run and Cloudflare Pages recently and love it.

Marc rides on the coattails of better thinkers and engineers who came before and had less to build on. At this point he’s a contemporary American elite grifter who relies on the small government meme despite being of a generation that benefited from a social safety net.

Seeing Gen X tech leaders as great thinkers when they’re riding the wave of the world rebuilding after WW2 is so bizarre to me; none of Marc’s work is fundamental to anything these days. Thousands of others understand these systems at the same level.

It’s a LARP, it’s propaganda. It’s taking intentional advantage of quirks in lizard brain biology. He’s smart but he’s not owed fawning deference. I just can’t under people with deferential behavior towards people like him anymore.

Not that you putting it out there like that. Just saying; to keep it’s all a rise and fall of biology. The spiraling rambling they put on is a show for people who don’t know better.
Not necessarily a bad person. But to think that people that may not have the education to understand NFTs deserve to be robbed seems to justify to prey on people.

NFTs are an absurdity, but millions are spend on advertising them to an unprotected public. That are the real culprits.

Scammers do not deserve to get any money, that's for sure.

Regarding the CVEs mentioned, the overwhelming majority of them have a "denial of service" effect, not sure how something like gVisor helps you mitigate that.
They shouldn't have, glad we finally agree on something
How much solar capacity is actually residential? I'd say quite small since solar is hard to deploy residential + lack of home value improvement.

Nuclear should be part of the equation (it has it's own issues with wastewater) but if adding nuclear means not investing equally or more in solar/wind renewables, that's completely misguided.

No it doesn't. Those with less to spend also spend less.

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure what humanities stands for in the US (or UK, AUS, SA, ...) education context, if it has even a fixed meaning over time. Like the (Humbold-esque?) categorization of Naturwisschenschaften vs Geisteswissenschaften in my country/language, it seems to be partly used for dissing the humanities, but Reine Wissenschaften (where you're getting a degree in philosophy when studying maths) seems absent?

I found it telling when the interview was touching Florence and The Medici, that renaissance humanism (with its all-important aspect of rediscovering, republishing, and preserving antique text material) wasn't connected to the humanities topic. Maybe it was more of a Venice thing, but I saw it as a lost opportunity to learn more of Andreessen's opinion on preservation of our digital heritage (or lack thereof) seeing as he developed Netscape from Mosaic etc.
That sounds like what Steve Jobs said about his cancer.

What if you're using it on small data, but inside a loop?
As I've gotten older and busier I've started using cheats and walkthroughs and methods to skip parts of games I don't enjoy much more often. I'm an adult with real difficulties and responsibilities and stressors. I spend 60+ hours a week running a startup. I have other hobbies like rock climbing and Magic to struggle against and push myself to get better at.

I understand that the challenge can be a lot of fun, I finished both Hades and Doom Eternal on their hardest difficulty and really loved my time with both but sometimes a challenge isn't what I want out of a game and I just want to enjoy the story or explore the world or blow off steam.

Video games for me are usually a relaxing past-time I enjoy in the small amount of free-time I have available and I'm often not willing to get frustrated slogging through slow sections or trying to overcome difficult ones. So you bet your ass I'm playing Elden Ring with an easy-mode mod, save-scummed constantly in X-Com, used infinite money cheats in City Skylines, and fast travel anywhere in Witcher 3.

If you prefer playing games differently from me and want a challenge when I don't that's totally fine, I hope you're having a great time cause the way each of us play doesn't affect or take away from the other person experience or goal in any way.

People are allowed to enjoy different things or even the same things in different ways and its super lame to call them super lame for something so inconsequential as how they play video games.
Maybe it was just an outbreak of a much older disease?[1]

1. You're assuming that MMT is the right answer, which is far from a foregone conclusion.

2. You're assuming that Powell agrees that MMT is the right answer, which is definitely false.

3. You seem to have the idea that Powell has some control over the income tax rate, which is totally false.
Many of your statements are outright false.
Everyone arguing over replacing currently energy usage like that will be even close to enough, it won't. Personally im a nuclear fan and I think many of the costs are artificially high by preventing nuclear industry growth and bad legislation that outlaws things like breeder reactors, that said we are going to need wind and solar even with massive nuclear investment just by the total power we need to produce to make industry green.

Electricity generation isn't the only way we use fossil fuels and cause pollution. Fertilizer production needs hydrogen, where does that hydrogen come from? Natural gas. Why? Because not using natural gas increases the energy costs of fertilizer production near 10x over. Since it is currently 1% of total world electricity consumption already, that is a near 10% global increase in electricity demand for one (admitedly large) product. The replacement of plastics with other materials like paper, glass, and metal? All require higher energy input to produce than plastic. Not to mention that plastic will eventually breakdown and release carbon also. As the most economical mines start to dry up and we seek lesser ores to mine, mining and processing electrical requirements will continue to rise. Nearly every chemical reagent all around you causes pollution during products, but it can be 90% solved, mostly by the addition of more electrical electricity for heating, cooling, high and low pressure chambers, ect. to not create so many waste products that we trash into both the atmosphere and the ground and water. We don't use those cleaner methods now mostly because using the electricity to do so costs a LOT more. Nearly every industry on earth can be cleaner, but it costs significantly more electricity which needs to be fairly cheap. Something like concrete production could be done more far more cleanly, but again, massive amounts of additional electricity needed. And that is before we get into things like active carbon sequestering.

Or goals shouldn't be a direct replacement of fossil fuel electricity sources, our goals should be exceeding currently world electrical output multiple times over without fossil fuels, which means we should be producing nuclear, solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power across the board in an attempt to meet our extreme future demands.

Maybe solar and wind and batteries will be up to the task in the future with some new technology, but also maybe not. Nuclear is a known feasible solution to providing as much power as we could ever want or need with technology we have right now. Solar and battery tech is often assuming we will continue on the same path of increased efficiency and reduced costs seemingly indefinitely, but you know what, they thought the same thing with nuclear energy until they started hitting some walls in generation efficiency and costs. And if it ends up not being significantly cheaper or easier, you gotta start bringing up questions of land usage and grid complexity on top of everything else.
Depending on what parts you want to self-host.

You can already build and run all base components on your local machine, see instructions here: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/tree/d11c9f9fcb950ac263... . You can run the tests instead if you want more insight into how a particular piece works. You probably want to attach your S3-compatible storage to Pageserver and Safekeepers; some Ansible scripts with command-line flags are in the repository.

To run Neon components on multiple machines, you should be able to create the `.neon` data directory via `neon_local init` and then share the generated configuration files across machines and tweak network settings. You can refer to our documentation to understand the terminology and the intended hosting configuration: https://neon.tech/docs/storage-engine/architecture-overview/

However, there are still two missing bits: the self-hosting documentation and the Neon Control Plane (web UI + K8S-based compute nodes orchestrator). So you don't get automatic scale-to-zero at the moment out-of-the-box, although all hooks and the PostgreSQL proxy we're using at pg.neon.tech are there.

We consider open-sourcing the Control Plane, so stay tuned. As for documentation and support, Nikita has already answered.
For sure. As the only developer in the team, it saves me a bunch of devops time that I can instead dedicate on the business, while we're trying to get product-market fit.

I'm sure that there are limitations for larger teams or if you have specific requirements. But I think it's a great choice if you're a small team and/or your application is more or less run-of-the-mill from a technical point of view.

> Maybe the next step is that we realize there's so many CPU bugs, that we really just need to give each container their own hardware :)

I am reasonably sure that most of the micro services I write would be very happy running on a 400mhz CPU with a couple hundred megs of RAM, if they were rewritten in native code, or even just compiled to native code instead of being ran on top of Node. Throw it all on a minimal OS that provides networking and some file IO.

How much does it cost to manufacture 400mhz CPUs with onboard memory? Those must cost a few pennies each, throw in a 4GB SSD, preferably using SLC chips for reliability, and a NIC, and sell 4 "machine" clusters of them for ~$100 a pop.
It is the physics, I think, sonic(1, 2, 3) is all the time being stopped, or slowed, or jumps weird.

In all honesty sonic movement is pretty good, my take is exaggerated in order to compare it to mario, a game,I feel, that plays and flows slightly better than sonic(a surprisingly slow game despite the main characters name). That being said, younger me played the hell out of both of them.

Just my personal observations:

Plain HTML/CSS is still relevant today. Not everything needs to be an SPA. I also don't understand how one would write SPAs with React/Vue/whatever other framework without first having at least some understanding of HTML and CSS.

Agree with the cloud being poo-pooed.

Don't agree with barely any classes in ML. Grant money in ML has been hot, which means academic hiring in ML has been hot, and a good number of those hires are teaching classes. Basically every major CS department has a broad selection of ML courses or even ML concentrations and minors. Most smaller departments seem to have at least one or two courses to choose from.

I've never seen Python used to teach software engineering. Java is the classic language for that, even today. Although I suspect that we may have different definitions of software engineering.
