that’s true, volume driven by money already in the system will fall due to prices going down.

volume driven by new money coming in will be reduced by the phenomenon i mentioned (price down, less hype, less money coming in).

So if we break volume down in 2 groups the first would experience what you’re saying and the second would experience what i’m saying. It’s the same with stocks but to a much lesser extent, especially because 401ks and institutions are required to buy no matter what

Not sure what percent of volume is each case.
I suppose I should have put “science driven” in quotes.

But I also think it’s going to be difficult, using the methods available feasible for this kind of study, to draw strong causative conclusions about how dev ops practices impact business performance. There’s a lot of confounding variables that are hard to control for.

So I think I share both your takeaways
Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Limiting to twice a week is good.
Not in America or Europe in recent history. But 100 or 150 years ago here, group meetings (e.g., church, one family visiting another) could certainly lead to an offer of marriage (and request for paternal permission). Private one-on-one meetings would have been highly discouraged except under controlled conditions.
If that is true, why do some messaging apps gain critical mass, while others are relegated to niche use? I don’t think the data is consistent with your claims.

Exactly. you can be very wealthy, go into a monastry to build moral character and leave all that behind. I have an old friend who was self made v wealthy by the time he was twenty, gave it all up and now spends a lot of time helping disadvantaged people. The assumption that being set for life, wealthy etc equals a person who is callous about others is as nonsensical as the idea a psychologically badly damaged person living on the streets can just pull themselves together, get a job and straighten out... specious and very rigid narrow perspectives
We have one third party app that requires IE. I opened Visual Studio, dropped a WebBrowser control onto a form, and voila: I've got IE again, even on Windows 11. I pushed the app out and it works great. I figure we've got years until this breaks again.

> I'm pretty sure this cost comparison comes down firmly on the side of wind/solar/storage.

Very unlikely. Nuclear costs are sky high only because in the last decades it was suppressed rather than invested in and improved. Had it seen the same level of support the wind and solar energy have, we'd have a dirt-cheap abundance of nuclear power, with very little carbon emissions. Take away the red tape and scaremongering, and wind/solar/storage combination will be left very far behind in costs and efficiency.

> Inflation is not something that "happens" to us, it is something that we cause.

This is like corporations reminding us about _our_ carbon footprint.

Yes, we may be part of the problem. But for the past several decades, wages have stagnated while profits and sometimes inflation, have grown. Thus we are an infinitesimal part of it.

Let me have a higher salary at the expense of corporations profits.
Push mowers are actually best for the grass because of the scissor-like action, especially if you cut it low. I use them in combination with a scythe to cut long grass (I let it grow in the colder months).
Zero-sum because the authorities made it zero-sum is still zero-sum.

You can't start a company that says "let's increase the supply of housing because demand is high." You can do that with most other markets.

What I think you're saying is it ought to not be zero-sum because there's enough land - perhaps. I was talking about the ability of market participants to increase supply.

This "nothing" is valueable information nonetheless.

Science is just as much (often more) about ruling out hypotheses as it is about confirming them. Sometimes that means ruling out all existing hypotheses, meaning new ones have to be formulated to be tested in turn.

An application like this needs to be offline enabled and also consider a failure at syncing as a transient error that mustn’t block other local operations (like lookup, autofill, additions, deletions, modifications).
Agreed! And I think you'll find that with girls who have similar values your perspective will be a huge selling point. They're out there, and they're the ones that you'll be most happy with anyway. Hang in there!
The primary cost of nuclear is politically driven. I don't know if that matters in a world of actual energy scarcity, I guess we'll be finding out.

If you remove liability and the insanity of our current methods of waste storage the costs become outright cheap, especially in an imagined future where there is massive investment into new nuclear infrastructure.

By the metrics people use to judge nuclear, hydro would be the most expensive power source known to man if you were to build one today. Just the land costs would make the entire project nonsensical if viewed solely in that frame.

Those are just artificial constructs though. In a world where there is actual human suffering (in the west) due to physical energy shortages the politics (and thus cost models) may shift rapidly.
I wonder whether we are using the terms "rational" and "rationalism" in different ways.

To me, "rationalism" means one of two things. When talking about the history of philosophy, it's the opposite of "empiricism", the idea that we can know important things by means of pure reason without observation of the world around us. When not talking about the history of philosophy, it means something like "trying to believe things to whatever extent there are evidence and reasoned arguments supporting them, and no further" (notable subtype 1: "rationalist" used to be a common term for a particular sort of atheist; notable subtype 2: "rationalist" these days often means "person who hangs out on the Less Wrong website").

But you're talking about "a strong organizational and legal structural framework", which is the sort of thing that might be designed rationally or that highly rational people might turn out to like, but having one versus not having one doesn't seem like the sort of thing I would want to call "rational" or "rationalism", and it doesn't seem particularly opposed to Christianity as such.

When the Roman empire embraced Christianity it didn't abandon the idea of the "res publica", or stop having an elaborate code of law. The only specific thing you point to is that it stopped imposing extra taxes on Christians and murdering them when they wouldn't pay, which seems to me a good thing however wrong Christians are (I agree that they are very wrong), and not obviously "irrational" in any sense I recognize.

I do not see how the stories in the Bible are any more irrational than the stories told in the Roman polytheist traditions about their gods. Could you explain?

France has nuclear plants because in the 1970s it decided it didnt want to be dependent on middle eastern oil.

It was very very expensive. It was also nothing to do with global warming.

Those plants are fully paid off but nearly all close to death. Replacing them will still be very very expensive. Extending their lives will be dangerous. France isnt quite sure what to do.

If there's unlimited money and patience for years long delays then yes nuclear power is just fine.

If you want it reasonably priced it either wont happen at all or you're risking catastrophe.

If this is so simple, why don't we do it? Or is that the question you're asking?

Of course, that 50% efficiency cost seems like a bit of a bear in itself. If you lose half of the stored power, that would seem to significantly drive up the total lifecycle cost of a Watt of wind power. (Recognizing, of course, that not all of it must be stored.)

The cost and inefficiency (==cost) of storage seems like an unfortunate thing to handwave away in a conversation about relative costs.
I thought the @tailcall annotation in OCaml was cool. It's not essential to use it to receive the optimisation, but rather it's a way to tell the compiler "I need this call to be optimised, so let me know if you can't do it".
I think it's different in undeveloped countries where if you were raised with nothing, it doesn't seem bad to raise kids that way. But in developed countries, I think a lot of people would refuse to raise kids if the conditions were worse than the ones they grew up in.
The well-off in North America stopped having kids because it has become socially unacceptable do so; at least in youth. The young "rural hick" mother is the canonical image young women are told they must not become. We even air TV shows (e.g. Teen Mom) meant to portray the ostracization young mothers face in an effort to not let others realize the same fate. Having children is something well-off people have come to fear, believing it will leave them to become failures in the eye of society.

The narrative changes when people grow older, nearing the end of a woman's viable productive years. All of a sudden it is "Why don't you have kids yet? You're not getting any younger. The clock is ticking." Once one overcomes dealing with the conflicting messaging and the emotional toil in that, this leaves time for one, occasionally two in the best case, children and no more. For others it is simply too late.
Well, as you suggest, opinions on what is canon differ.
If ‘safety’ is your only criteria, then sure I guess. Personally it’s not too important to me - the chances of being in an RTA are negligible.
I’d hardly call cars from the 80s ‘deathtraps’ either.

I think we should get out of the habit of buying new stuff every few years. There’s something pretty amazing about driving a car that is decades old.
This is just the natural progression of the gutting of the middle class. A middle class job in the 50s and 60s was MUCH easier on the home and social life. Unions were common and life was pretty civilized on the whole.

Since then we've been on a steady regression to the industrial revolution, where employers hold all the power and can use people as they see fit (i.e. forget working only 40 hours a week), and only the aristocracy can afford leisure and child care.

Tail calls fundamentally isn’t (just) about performance, it’s about language capability. Tail calls allow you to recurse indefinitely (because required stack space remains constant), which is not possible without tail calls (stack grows indefinitely). For example, tail calls make it okay to recurse on variable-length user input, which would be ill-advised in languages not supporting tail calls.
I was a subscriber to NYT until I wanted to cancel and there was no option to do that, you had to call some number in the US and explain yourself to some guy about why you want to cancel your subscription. Learned my lesson there, never again.
A website full of bosses arguing against wage rises for workers? Truly shocking.
U235 is a physical element that exists (in small quantities) naturally, and a deliberate process was discovered to make more.

The universe had no "purpose" or "meaning" in mind for U235, because (philosophical discussions aside) the universe has no consciousness, agency, or intent.

Bitcoin was not discovered. It is entirely man-made, and its creators absolutely had purposes and meanings in mind for it when they created it.

Equating the two is unhelpful and disingenuous.
Fair, my point isn't that dating does not occur but that dating is not agreed upon as lightly.

You basically have to build a very strong rapport and infatuation to the point that you are both sure you have something you both want to pursue.

Whereas the american/european dating scene is much more casual about the 'seriousness' of a date.
Stop speculating and ask your date. I usually default to paying but say "is that cool? we can split it if you like". you just have to be honest and not put on a fake mask, they'll see through it eventually.

I live in one of those countries and it is as you say, and more, really. Most PS5 games cost upwards of $80. This wouldn't be a problem if we were like Germany, however with minimum wage closer to ~380 euro, and I get paid around 450, it takes a toll.

But that's just for games, gas prices rose exponentially as well as price of used vehicles. The EU also imposed these emission regulations and now our vehicles will be banned from entering specific places unless it has a higher emission standard, which does not correspond to the EURO numbering. This forces you to look for newer cars, which are either more expensive or not as big to fit your needs. Even I will be buying a not so cheap car that is 2008 model, rather than say 2014.

It's a cultural thing. Extremely broadly speaking, the West treats love as something you fall into while Asia + some other places treat it as something you build.
We Need to Get Better at Coordination
JP governments are exploring drastic options to incentivize people settling down and having kids. Tokyo is considering 100k JPY per year per kid. I’d say that looks like the government version of “freaking out”.

Approx ~10k~ 1k USD per year is ~probably~ deffo not going to be enough, though.
We can never know what each and every pixel art designer means or intends, simply because there is no single answer.

Because of this obvious fact, I offered a common explanation among those designers I know that produced pixel art: that they simply do not consider the particulars of how pixel art was rendered on cathode ray tubes. Hence /perhaps/, a possibility is presented.

I find your counter-argument superficial and perhaps intentionally missing the point.

Right. When you move in to the boyfriend's place and there's not really enough space for what you have, and so your art stuff must be "tidied away" out of sight I was like "Oh - oh no..." and then IIRC the next move is back to your childhood bedroom. No need for words.

Why does OCaml need a 'clear mainstream target use case in mind'? It's a general-purpose language. It can be used for anything that Java, Go, or Python can be used for, and many things that C++ can be used for to boot.

Sure, OCaml's heritage is descended from a theorem prover helper language, but that doesn't meant it's forever stuck at that use case. Python was originally an educational teaching language, nowadays it's a data science and glue language. None of that was planned out in advance by the Python folks.

In fact even if you ask the Go team, Go is arguably the most targeted language of the ones you listed, in terms of its use case--and they were surprised that a lot of their userbase came from ex-Python devs who wanted something more reliable and efficient!

OCaml with version 5 is just hitting its stride. With the advances in the language, the multicore support, and tooling, it's going to be competitive with Rust for many use cases. It's worth the wait to see where it goes.

Like? I know that you’re trolling, but looking at Java specifically, the error handling in Rust and RAII pattern in Rust ensures that things like file handles are cleaned up. Modern Java has made this nicer, but it still offers a lot of potential bugs around resource leaks.

Sticking with Java, Rust also offers a better story around thread safety, such that sharing mutable state across threads requires types that allow that to work.

Finally, Java’s exception handling and null usage generally allows a lot of low hanging fruit bugs to slip through where in Rust these types of errors are far less likely to happen.

I never said Rust is “bug free”, I’ve been working with software far to long to make such a provably wrong statement.
The reasons are political… just like in the United States.

In at least one way, it's worse. You have a large percentage of users (everyone on iOS) who is stuck using a single rendering engine (Safari's) and locked out of installing another one. Although you can install Firefox, Chrome, etc on iOS, it's still Safari's webkit engine underneath.
That's their point.
No, it's obvious why we don't do it: it's fairly expensive and we currently don't have enough renewable supply to fill tanks with Methane. Grids can easily be 70+% renewable without any storage at all. Money is currently better spent increasing supply than building storage.
Interesting use case, didn't occur to me that tail calls can also just be a performance optimisation technique to help out the compiler and branch predictor. I assumed hot loops could be implemented just as well using GOTOs, but maybe not?

The fundamentals of that risk profile haven't changed — you still have high concentration of radioactive materials in a single geographic location. The risk profile for nuclear is unlike that of other technologies.

They told us it was safe back then. They tell us its safe today. They will always tell us it's safe. The fundamentals tell us they're wrong.
The US alone emits almost 20,000 tons of methane per day just from eating hamburgers (.0126 pounds per hamburger x 300 million people) or about 10 more than this big scary Russian hole. Yet no one bats an eye.

> someone so has more than one house

I'm not going to answer the ad-hominem attack, you know nothing of my situation, and it's irrelevant to the discussion anyway. But I think it's stupid to own a property which brings no revenue and stands empty 95% of the year, but still requires taxes and upkeep.

> House prices going down is a GOOD thing for the vast majority of the population.

On the opposite. House prices going down is a good thing for the unhoused population, and it's a bad thing for the homeowners. In the most markets, more people own houses than not. So the majority of the population usually enjoys house prices rising (at the expense of the minority, of course).

Additionally, the more a house is "worth" on paper, the more people are willing to invest in it (renovations, keep-up), which is usually a good thing for the economy.

> What you also forget is that as a coastal property people buy those houses as holiday homes.

I don't forget that, I completely understand the situation. What I don't know is the situation in a neighbouring town which is not coastal and where no rich londoners are buying.
Everybody always says that solar + storage is cheaper. And sometimes there are even studies to support it. But if that's true where is it?
This is a bullshit theory with zero evidence or science behind it. I’m on my second marriage now, am about as far from a virgin as the earth is from the sun, and I’m as happy as can be and utterly devoted to and blissfully in love with my wife.

Listen, I know you’re probably having difficulty finding a romantic relationship and I know how demoralizing and depressing that can be. I’ve been there - my teens and twenties were just awful for my self-esteem. But it can, and usually does, get better, as your hormones settle down and you learn to make friends with prospective romantic partners and can take the time to form a strong bond. The world is a big place and I believe there is someone for everyone, although that “someone” can be difficult to find.

If I were to give you one piece of advice, it would be for you to figure out what the best part of you is, and to feel great about that. Having a sense of confidence in something you are or do is infectious and is very attractive to people, and can lead to great success down the line.

And last, but not least, don’t settle! Just because someone is attracted to you doesn’t mean they’re right for you. I’ve made that mistake with disastrous consequences. As a late bloomer I only really came to terms with that in my early 40s.

Good luck!
