But economic statistics are not made with the goal of "finding out how average Joe is doing", but to answer the question "what't is in it for me? where i should invest? and in which instruments?". It's audience is private investors and fund managers. Not even politicians - they live in post-truth world, they need to know how to better manipulate people into believing what they need them to believe, what's actually going on is of secondary importance.

And for this, we need means, not medians. Sure vast majority of profits is made from consumption of the top 10%. Rest are just taken for a ride (not even exploited properly, and this is a big departure from things were 100 years ago when the rest were equally desperate, but at least necessary).
An attack from this author in this venue constitutes an endorsement of the target.
I'm not sure if websockets over HTTP/2 are actually a new thing. Firefox implemented support years ago but it was disabled almost immediately afterwards because it doesn't work with proxies and has been disabled still. I think the only engine implementing it is Chrome.

As far as I know for HTTP/3 there is no way to use websockets yet.
Tangent: reading this, all I could think was "you're allocating memory in a motor controller?!?" and then "you're using interrupts in a motor controller!?!". Surely the bug write up was good and it is interesting, but all of the actual hard real time systems I've ever seen or talked to engineers who actually worked on them always avoided interrupts and never allocate memory. Both of these activities in hard real time code can produce very unexpected results which may be similar to what the author found with enabling the ADCs in rapid succession.

> you'd need to make the bikes more complex and prone to failure.

Also much more expensive, so that people are forced to consider doing these complex repairs themselves, or hiring mechanics, instead of just junking it.

(Yes, there are many stupidly expensive bikes, both for sports racing and hipsterism. But those bikes are not bought by most regular people who just want a means of transport, and it’s most regular people who would be the target audience of such a bike talk show.)
Yes, and possible pump-dump or some form of bid-rigging by insiders. It would be interesting if it was a $ conversion mistake though.

Millions of people also vow .. "for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part." and we all know how most end up.

The lesson here ( again and again.. ) is to give little importance of what people say, even if they really mean it. Also study the past and most of these conversations would be avoided altogether.
I don’t get what the big deal is. Most of it was just some fake images of holes in hands and stuff? And the seed pod is scary for some reason?
In my experience, people didn't need saving so much as they needed frank, constructive communication about where they are and where they're going, and in a timely fashion.

Sure, you can't magically make people better, but, as management, you can set them up to be exposed to positive influences with alternative work arrangements and learning opportunities with the power available to you. You can also engage in a positive dialogue with them so they're aware of what is happening and can take steps on their own too, if they like.
Is there somewhere I can message or email you? I suspect mine is not genetic as like I said I abruptly lost a lot after the fluoroquinolones. It has been 8 years since and I gradually developed what seems like a mast cell disorder on top of it causing severe difficulties not becoming malnourished. It sounds like it could be caused by the same process you described. As far as I’ve read about mito protocols, they were mostly shots in the dark rather than things that predictably worked. I’m talking about mito cocktails and such for mito patients, various forms of vitamin E and selenium, ketogenic diets, and exercise training.

That's generally accurate. The heavy hitters, with a few exceptions
like Faraday, were of noble ancestry or otherwise privileged. We
really need to look to the Americans, to Horace Mann and John Dewey
who understood the wider non-functional ends of education; nation
building, supporting democracy, living a happy life etc. That fed back
into British society mainly post-war, driven by the need to rebuild a
devastated society. Today, in our coddled complacency, that seems far
away and 'optional'.
> keeping it in its rightful place below actual intellectuals

Define "actual intellectuals"? Rigorous scholarship can of course be valuable, especially if combined with broader community engagement - but most of the time the notion of an "intellectual" refers to nothing more than pointless navel-grazing, with very little in the way of real, enduring achievement.
Blosxom is not a "platform". It's a Perl script.
I've had it with framing people as "dangerous". Dangerous to who, dangerous how? There's this weird meme in some circles branding everybody who's influential and has ideas that don't fit said circle's ideas as "dangerous", it's such an aggressive choice of words.

Why can't we just call them stupid? Or malevolent even? "Dangerous", to me, suggests they're Hitler (/ Stalin / your circle's bad person du jour) incarnate. You can disagree with someone vehemently without all the vitriol and fearmongering.
So Peter Thiel is biased. So is everybody else.

Peter Thiel is no more dangerous that Sundar Pichai, Mark Zuckerberg or your average tech CEO.

I also have a problem with calling speech "dangerous".
Apple Macbooks are the obvious answer. The Air models don't even have fans.

Or you might take your PC and tune its processor power plans to be less aggressive, or limit TDP settings. That said, my previous Thinkpad E14 wasn't that loud even with high loads, without tweaking anything.

But also, consider my Asus gaming laptop, G14. It's relatively silent but on default settings hard crashes about once an hour due to overheating. Perhaps loud fans are preferable to that.
Okay, the lotus seed pictures did nothing to me, but Google Images is filled with far more disgusting images.

I rarely say this and I like antipope but this analysis is ignorant.

He’s right that university degrees have become a Ponzi scheme. Likely privatization of university had something to do with that, albeit indirectly.

Anything financed by debt needs to have value that equals or exceeds the debt, for the life of the debt.

The inflation in education prices has dramatically outpaced the value of the education, for many degrees, especially in the arts.

He’s right that skills become obsolete much more quickly these days, but he’s wrong in assuming/implying that the degree still has value, esp value exceeding the debt, for any degree. No where is this more apparent as in arts degrees, particularly in the humanities. Graduates with these degrees end up with lower incomes (and lower rates of employment) than graduates with science degrees.

It seems to me that with rising cost of degrees that many one involved with funding an education should look at future value of the degree as a significant decision criterion.

Additionally, there is politics involved as many humanities departments have adopted increasingly left-of-center ideologies. So of course conservatives are going to criticize and target that. Note that I’m not interested in arguing the merits/correctness of such ideology, but I can understand why people who disagree with an ideology would be reticent to fund places that promote such ideology.

So it’s not just “conservatives are bad and stupid” as TFA implies; and I don’t think that the article was either accurate or fair in its conclusions.

Yes, and that's likeky to have an impact on later GDP values, as all that has not been spent on better investments than repairing windows.

Except for the UK that has terrible windows and a proper upgrade would lead to serious reductions of gaz imports, that are likely to sting this winter.

Events that present a risk of blowing through your error budget can still be scheduled so they don't page outside of normal hours.

If nothing is ever abnormal in your system then yes, your error budget is probably too high. But there is also big space between "nothing is ever abnormal" and "I had to get up at 2AM twice a month".
GDP is also only one metric used to measure the health of an economy. No serious economist will look at it in isolation. They’ll look at everything from unemployment rate and inflation to budget deficits and even sociological indicators.

The author is confusing actual economists with armchair “economists” on Twitter.

Yes, English and Dutch are rather similar. There is a difference in how tenses are used and it is known that Dutch speakers often make mistakes with using the wrong tense in English. In Dutch the verb, when consisting of more than one part, is split, where most parts and up at the end of the sentense, just like in German. Dutch is somewhere in the middle of English and German. I do understand German, but find it hard to speak, because I end up using English words all the time. I guess that if I would spend a few months in German, I would be able to speak it enough to communicate with native speakers. The hardest part of German to master is that all nouns have a gender and the partical depends on the gender and the case (nominative, accusative, dative or genitive).

I do know a little Chinese (Mandarin) and I do know that there are languages with completely different sentense structure and different grammar structs. I do not know if bilingual people with two languages that are far apart experience a similar intergration as I experience with English and Dutch, but I do know that they are able to switch from one to the other and instantly.
Yup, Toby Fox more or less did this exact sort of research in 2020 while developing Deltarune, and came to similar conclusions:

We had actually attempted to develop the game since the time too. Development started around March 2019 and a 99% work was spent on investigating engines alternate to GameMaker, which I used for Chapter 1.

Without getting into the details, I decided a few months ago to go back to GameMaker after all. It still felt like the best fit for the project. So using Chapter 1 as a base, we've started creating Chapter 2 since May 2020.

A lot of progress has been made since that time. I believe we can complete this chapter, content-wise, before the end of the year (not accounting for translation, bugtesting, and porting).

I feel very confident. And the strange thing is, even though we ended up using the original engine, I don't regret the lost time, either. Not only was I still busy designing the game, but during that long period, I was able to think of many ideas that make the game's story and characters better.

https://deltarune.com/update-092020/

Obvious caveat: He already had development in the game on one engine so that may have swayed factors. And of course, DeltaRune isn't going to be struggling to perform on any reasonable platform. But ultimately, the tool didn't limit his choices enough to make the jump.

At the end of the day, work to your strengths and consider your scope. Many people here are programmers so I understand if they want something more flexible than Gamemaker. But I wouldn't necessarily jump to Unreal Engine 4/5 if I'm making a small-ish scale 2D game.

Are you suggesting it's suicide if only one country does it, or if they all do it?

I agree with the former, sort of. It would be like losing your life trying desperately to stop a bunch of suicides on your own. (Not sure if that counts as suicide) which is why there is in fact very strong movements towards international agreements on these matters.

e.g. one of the EU aviation rules specifically addresses that long distance flights leaving the EU need to leave with enough fuel on board, to disincentivize them stopping elsewhere to fill up on untaxed fuel.

But if they all don't do it, that is collective suicide (or if just one country continues on the path it's more like murder-suicide).

So we're trying to find a path where we can all work together with people we don't fully trust to do the thing that is best for all of us, even if we dont even fully agree on what that is.

Not an easy task. Especially when people would rather listen to fossil fuel lobbyists or their paid political pundits than economists on what would and wouldn't work.

The short answer is that they don't really. UK retail banking is notoriously low margin, and all of the major banks struggle to make anything from their consumer businesses. Charging for bank accounts is not something the UK market accepts.

They'll likely cover costs in the long term, and their business banking will probably do fine, but I suspect the valuations aren't justified. The main way that the major players make money is through things like mortgages, wealth management for the very wealthy, and through their investment banking arms.

Starling is another startup bank, a main competitor to Monzo. While they're decidedly less "cool", they seem to have targeted business banking much more, and I suspect that's why they're now in a better position. Monzo went big on Monzo Plus and even on its ~3rd? iteration, it seems to have had a lacklustre reception. I'm Monzo user #13, about as onboard with the idea as I could be, and I find it unconvincing.

Monzo have just launched Monzo Flex, an easy payment system like AfterPay/ClearPay/Klarna. I'd normally expect that to do well but it's about 2 years too late and going into a recession is probably not the right time. Hopefully it'll do well as we come out.

Good old Monzo times.

Sadly, in my opinion the company took on too much investment and was now bound to deliver tech-company returns with a product that fundamentally isn't compatible with them. This led them to become yet another bullshit "growth & engagement" operation and ultimately killed the appeal of the product, all while competitors such as Starling Bank stepped up their game and delivered a very similar product that is not only profitable but doesn't have those "growth & engagement" vibes because they didn't have the same pressure and could afford to take things slow.

I really recognize the value of new implementations and the fact that each of them is filling a hole that old implementations do not cover (like new platform support, more embeddings, etc.).

But I have a controversial question: why is it better to start a system from scratch than contributing and helping to other less known, long running systems (Yap, XSB, ECLiPSe, Ciao, gprolog, B-Prolog, etc.)?

In the old times, a system became popular because you read a research paper which described carefully the implementation decisions and did good performance evaluations. Papers were reviewed and trusted, you could get objective information about why the implementation was good or not. This helped advance the state of the art.

Nowadays, this is completely broken and it is strangely feeling like a "popularity" contest and a social game. For example, some users were surprised about the performance of WASM-compiled Ciao Playground:

https://ciao-lang.org/playground/

that despite being x2 slower than native, is faster than other popular Prolog implementations. We needed to tweet about it and use the forum of another popular Prolog system to have any visibility. Despite that, this fact will soon be ignored and buried.

When looking at the VM of each of the systems, we know why this happens, but the expertise of the people who wrote earlier Prolog systems, many of them run perfectly fine and blazingly fast in modern machines, is being lost.

Of course, we learned a long time ago that the selection of benchmarks is really complex. You can pick whatever is needed to make your system shine. Ciao Prolog is extremely fast for some benchmarks but it can also be much slower in others.

My claim is that despite it is cool to have new and nice Prolog implementations, this is adding a lot of noise and we are repeating mistakes from the past and going in the wrong direction:

- There is no incentive for proper benchmarking (e.g., should I implement mmap-based file mapping? when does it help? is it a good idea?)
- The literature is being ignored (e.g., who reads and compares with Paul Tarau or Bart Demoen implementation papers?)
- VM and libraries should be independent (it should be possible to implement a new VM while not requiring to reimplementing the whole set of libraries)
- Systems copy/reimplement features without proper recognition of the original system (e.g., once a technique is adopted by the popular system, the original is forgotten, who knows that JITI was originally developed by Vitor Santos Costa in YAP?).
- The community is extremely fragmented.

I wonder if it would be possible to create a more healthy Prolog forum which prioritizes ideas, authors, and results. Going through twitter, discourse, github discussions, github issues, of each of our individual Prolog system is NOT a solution. Each of us looking at decades of research papers and reproducing them in each of our systems is also not a good idea (indeed the unique advantage of old systems is that it takes decades to incorporate some of these ideas). Moreover, there are still many unsolved problems in modern Prolog systems that can only be addressed as programming language research.
