>Well when 80% of all US Dollars were "printed" / created in the last 2-3 years massive inflation will follow

Be careful. This theory tracks for regular currencies, but gets distorted (note: I didn’t not say that it doesn’t apply, only that it isn’t as strong as you say) when the currency in question is the reserve currency for the world.

Classic Model didn’t predict this, because “this” is a totally bonkers scenario. Inflation is running hot (additionally) because supply chains have been torched (China and Russia) just at the time when demand came roaring back (the world minus China gave up on lockdowns).

You’re not wrong, but I encourage you to resist the temptation to simplify the story down to “classic” vs “MMT.” It’s tempting, but the world is very very complex and it ain’t getting any simpler.

Another example might be this Cortex-X3 being the first in ARM's X line to drop the 32 bit ISA, where Apple had dropped that in the A11. That gave Apple several iterations to take advantage of whatever simplifications or reclaimed transistor budget came from dropping it.

Edit: Small miss above...Cortex-X2 dropped aarch32, though that's 2021 versus Apple doing it in 2017 with the A11, so the overall point is the same.
You could explain away the discrepancy by saying that the 45 billion number is the number of permanent residents. As the seat of a galactic empire it would likely host representatives and their staff and families from tens of thousands of worlds, would probably be a hub of interstellar trade with many merchants and the crew of their ships staying for weeks at a time, a major tourist and religious hub with billions of visitors and pilgrims, countless numbers of galactic citizens would also make the journey to petition the emperor for various things. The list could go on for a mile and could result in a much larger effective population at any one time.
what a rollercoaster of a story. Thank you for sharing.
> this may be not a very popular opinion, but I prefer to design the database without using database-specific features

I used to be in this camp, having started my dev life in Rails when it ran Sqlite in dev. This turned out to be an anti-pattern for Rails because dev/prod parity was never quite there. Over time I also realized it just wasn't worth the effort to keep things agnostic. Sure a hypothetical migration will be easier later on, but that migration very, very, very (very) rarely occurs in my experience.
You can accomplish many tasks X. The point of the piece is that were you to do X, now Y and Z would be on your plate, and you’d feel behind on those. So you can do difficult tasks, but you can’t resolve the feeling of being behind by doing difficult tasks. You resolve the feeling by being okay with not getting it all done as long as you operate near your steady state optimum.
Not being aware of ncal, but based on long experience of bash, I anticipated a fiendish and impenetrable 300 line monster full of arcana to crank this out from first principles. So this was a very elegant surprise :)

That's the similarity.

It's like saying you don't see any similarity between Maradona and Messi, other than both of them being very successful Argentinian players.
You seem to want to disagree with my comment, but I can't see where you're disagreeing.

I should note that there are indeed multiple references to the Roman Empire on the page; take a look at the sidebar.

This is the text in question from the History section:

> The earliest known reference to French toast is in the Apicius, a collection of Latin recipes dating to the 1st century CE, where it is described as simply aliter dulcia 'another sweet dish'.[8] The recipe says to "Break [slice] fine white bread, crust removed, into rather large pieces which soak in milk [and beaten eggs] fry in oil, cover with honey and serve".[9]

There are two sentences, and both of them are lies. There is no reference to French toast in the Apicius, and the quote given in the second sentence -- as you've already noted -- doesn't come from the Apicius. Wikipedia is supporting the claim that a 1st-century work refers to French toast by citing material originally written in the 20th century.

The idea that French toast appears in the Apicius is something the wikipedia author just made up, yes.
> There is unbelievably little information about the architecture too

Fair enough, but the repo at git clone https://dagshub.com/nirbarazida/YOLOv6

So it's not exactly like the architecture is a secret.

The weights is a different story, of course.
The mint actually wanted to get rid of the dollar coins that they were accumulating storage fees on. Congress decided to make the mint mint way too many dollar coins (and prohibited it from advertising) and nobody wanted them. Once people ordered and deposited them they'd make their way to the Federal Reserve and were no longer the mint's problem.

So yes, a transfer of money from the government to the purchaser, but with a lot more steps.

Don't forget the free shipping. The USPS probably got paid by the mint.
Persuasion was better than Powerpoint in every way; but even when Adobe bought it from Aldus, it could not compete with "free" i.e. PP being part of Office, and did not last long in the 90's. Office also basically killed word processing innovation and spreadsheet innovation for a long time.

Today almost no one remembers any of these types of apps that existed before Office. I remember since I was involved in several of them.

Indeed, it's why sweat was such an evolutionary leap for humankind. Our species didn't necessarily invent the sweat gland, but we certainly did become the sweatiest of the Great Apes -- by an order of magnitude in some measures.

I wonder how much of the species' worldwide dominance can be attributed to the evolutionary diceroll that placed our ancestors in subsaharan Africa? Could we have survived in Egypt, Mesopotamia, or India without sweat?
While there were pterosaurs as large as a giraffe (having similar proportions when on ground), they were very light for their size, probably no more than 2 to 4 times heavier than a human.

I would wait for the 4000 series from nVidia, which should be this fall, and then making a purchase. The best bang for your buck will likely be a 4070, or a discounted 3080.
This touches on the very very obvious tension here that I think needs to be understood and stated more clearly:

Software, in theory, is frictionlessly infinitely reproducible. We now know that there are quite a few 10x, 100x, 1000x programmers out there, and yet a lot of people still getting paid to write code, which is probably a massive waste of time.

I'm not sure how we get to collectively recognizing this inefficiency, but something to try would be "more liability (some liability? like any liability at all?) for bad/harmful software.

Surprising given that the cost to maintain such an experiment would be fairly low.
> In isolation all of this sounds somewhat justifiable

The government lending money via blank checks as long as a person is enrolled in an “accredited” school was never justifiable.

Except to voters who wanted lower taxes now and the politician who could deliver those lower taxes by reducing cash spending on higher education facilities and instead lending to students which can then be booked as an asset on the government’s books.
There are plenty of storage options besides batteries and hydrogen. Almost all will be cheaper than hydrogen, one way or another.

Hydrogen is expensive but has unique virtues for specific cases. E.g., liquified, it is perfect aviation fuel. It is necessary input for synthesizing ammonia and hydrocarbons, and numerous other chemicals and industrial processes. But it is expensive, difficult, and dangerous to handle, so you don't when you can avoid it.

There's as far as I know nothing to support that the little ice age had much influence on the rebound of the population after the Black Death in Norway's case - you'll find documentation of farms right next to each other where one was not cleared and the other was, and where we can tell from tax records etc. once they were finally populated again that production capacity was comparable. It took centuries before the population had rebounded to the point where lesser farms were cleared again. As such it was first towards the end of the 1600's that the population was large enough to start hitting limits where the little ice age caused famine in Norway.

The trial was at a station with 2 parallel escalators going in the same direction, giving 4 lanes of people. Instead of having 2 standing lanes and 2 walking lanes, they had 3 standing lanes and 1 walking lane. The goal was to reduce queuing for the standing lanes. The walking lanes are usually a lot less busy.
NEXT SENTENCE (not "MOVE NEXT SENTENCE") is sort of equivalent to "continue" in modern languages.

In more "modern" COBOL's like COBOL-85, there is actually a "CONTINUE" which is essentially a no-op.

Some COBOL shops instituted a "one-period-per-paragraph" rule (on the last statement in a paragraph) to avoid some of this. And COBOL-85 (thankfully) added scope delimiters (i.e. END-IF) to help avoid the issues with periods.

It has a column with keys like "created.at" and a column with human readable translation.
Google Sheets automatically create links to anything that looks like an URL, so "created.at" becomes a link. And if you're not careful to immediately remove those auto created links, some of them can lead to malicious sites, then Google will detect your sheet containing those malicious links. In my case Google blocked sharing, but didn't take the document down.
Still, I believe it's terrible UI/UX, to automatically link to malicious sites and then penalize the sheet owner for this.
> It costs a lot less than the consumer audiophile stuff, too.

That's the first time I've heard anyone say that studio monitors cost _less_ than consumer audiophile stuff.

Saying that as a person that buys and uses studio monitors, they are not cheap in any way.

Even "affordable" entry level stuff (eg JBL Pro LSR 305P/310S) is going to set you back a good chunk of change compared to consumer gear.
That's not what the article says.

The article criticizes that they block things even when they're legal.

What's even the point of this? If I take money from someone, should I do a background check on them, in case the money was stolen? No, if it was stolen, the victim should report it and the authorities should handle it. Then, if a porn website is reported to have some illegal content, shouldn't it also be the authorities dealing with it?
Not quite sure why your response is so energetic.

Jetbrains products were always cheap, and now they are more expensive. I never said it’s now a bad deal.

I’ve just never seen prices rise so fast. Even during the whole pandemic when China shipping basically stopped, rising prices were unnoticable.

Now prices rise more, and it surprises me, that’s all.

That doesn’t have the structure of a Chinese proverb. Those are usually 4 character expressions, which work out to something like 4 nouns/verbs in English plus some supporting prepositions and whatnot. The other common thing is highly parallel constructions, but that just repeats the same word three times. I would be very surprised if that were an authentic Chinese saying.

That doesn’t matter either.

If you have an average employee who complains a lot and he may leave, but that would be a hassle for you, then it makes sense to pay him a bit more so he shuts up and you don’t have to look for a new person.

I think this is just one week. Weekly reports like this are usually more of an indication of shipment cadence than sales volume. Likely some shipments are held up in a congested port somewhere and this will reverse once that changes.

Big problem for me is that they are using proceeds from well-selling products like ReSharper to fund their strategic but under-performing products like Rider, all while neglecting the former.

Over last few years there were no big features added in ReSharper whatsoever and it became slower.
Big reason why this is advanced also was no one other than the military ever had a need for this kind of tech. Sometimes private sector is more advanced like when it comes to silicon fabrication, but those advancements will usually get incorporated very quickly if they are applicable.

To me it's not technology, it's how that technology is funded.

Social media technology? 100% political.

Well management technology? 100% a-political.

If your technology is based on funding from a group that has no spine whatsoever (e.g. 99% of ad purchasers out there), then your technology is at the whim of the latest angry tweet.

If your technology is based on funding from a group that is firmly rooted in reality, then nobody cares about politics because they're dealing with something much more important.
The article year is kind of confusing on this one, it made me go "that can't be right, Microsoft owned PowerPoint before then... didn't it?"
It's of little help to you if it is corrected a day or decade after you read the article.

The thing to remember is to check the cited sources whenever the information is remotely important to you.

See https://www.theregister.com/2017/01/16/wikipedia_16_birthday... or this from Charles Seife:

"Wikipedia is like an old and eccentric uncle. He can be a lot of fun—over the years he's seen a lot, and he can tell a great story. He's also no dummy; he's accumulated a lot of information and has some strong opinions about what he's gathered. You can learn quite a bit from him. But take everything he says with a grain of salt. A lot of the things he thinks he knows for sure aren't quite right, or are taken out of context. And when it comes down to it, sometimes he believes things that are a little bit, well, nuts. If it ever matters to you whether something he said is real or fictional, it's crucial to check it out with a more reliable source."

I don't think the author is saying they shouldn't be interrupted, just that they're not going to change the focus of the _team_ without the criteria they laid out being true.

I think that's entirely reasonable, with a few exceptions (i.e., production is on fire and needs fixed now).

> and engineering is looked at as a cost center to be minimized

Labor is a cost center to be minimized for a business.

Your goal is to make money. If you can do that by having $0 in labor costs, then you want to.

The reason programmers aren't paid in proportion to their productivity is the same that every other profession also is not.

You get paid the least your employer can get away with paying you, not what you "deserve".

It's better if everyone recognizes this.

You probably want to avoid companies where the incentives aren't in place for you to grow.
