This is exactly right. It can be especially useful when lead climbing, as it eliminates the risk of accidentally grabbing the tail. Grabbing the tail is unlikely to result in safety risks (unless you have an obscene amount of it), but the less time you have to spend fumbling with your rope while lead climbing, the better.

Do Gen Z people just stop playing the game at some stage. Who is going to enforce this? The rapidly aging majority of the populace? Will they just keep paying higher and higher taxes to support elderly people who likely own much more than they ?

I don't think this is a desirable outcome, but I can also see it being an option. Essentially people just checking out from conventional work hard, pay high taxes, have less. Not sure if people will stick with that for too long.

I love to see the Lua love on HN, especially given my other languages of choice are generally disliked around here.

Funny enough, I was just mentioning to a friend this weekend that I would love to write Lua as a full time job (and particularly in gaming), but those jobs seem nearly non-existent.

The inflation on food due to high fuel and fertilizer prices won’t really kick in until October -> February during harvest.

Next year food will be far higher, largely due to

- people skipping fertilizer a second year in a row

- the feed price increases from year prior will impact next years meat

- much of the cow herds have been reduced due to hay prices skyrocketing (but beef rates staying far lower, due to sell offs)

- if Ukraine doesn’t surrender, we can expect less food production and potential oil disruption to center Europe

- Russia is not likely to renew trade relationships baring a reparations for seizing assets. They produce much of the fertilizer and oil

- 10% reduction in nitrogen targets for EU countries and Canada will further reduce food production

Yeah, a drop here or there isn’t indicative of a major change in inflation. I don’t see how we can get lower general inflation in the next 3+ years. FED has said as much.

In way of an explanation, hay prices have tripled. It’s expected they’ll at least double again tin the next 12 months. That’s one of the feed for cattle. That’s a 6x expected increase to feed cattle (the largest expense). To put it in perspective, that’s likely going to mean $12-20/lb ground beef; $25-$30/lb steak in 18 months.
Appreciating and creating beauty isn't contingent on peace. Often art comes from a place of passion. I think freedom from emotional turmoil in the general sense would be enjoyed by everyone, I can agree in that capacity. However, that list of synonyms is rather ambiguous and to me elicits an imperative for impassivity, antithetical to striving towards anything. I guess it's a valid path if that suits your nature, but I'm getting more out of the human experience by evoking passions.
I could see this being useful for emails that send out coupon codes. If a coupon code is updated for some reason, that update can be pushed to the user without having to send them another email.

The problem is cases of where you would want to update an email after it is sent is few and far between.

Is it really a noisy metric? I think not. It's just that this year has been very tumultuous from a supply side. I would wager these are fairly precise measurements of real effects (ignoring the basket of goods issue). I'm not an expert.
CPI is like GDP

CPI collects certain things some people have decided represent the economy as experienced by ordinary people. How well it works in general and for your experience in particular depends on the choice of items in the basket and how well they match your reality.

edit: There's a Planet Money series on GDP. I wouldn't be surprised to see a follow-up on CPI soon.
I think the jury thing is onto something... a small group rather then an individual can work wonders to cover for the failings and corruptability of the others.

Visiting farms is nice to get an impression of how the real system works, but IMO it does little to help You understand the principles. You have to know those ahead to be able to grasp what the farmer actually does and why.

Seeing a growing a plant in a glass from a seed over multiple weeks does just that.

Once You understand / see for yourself why plants need water, air and nutrition, You'll see that farm in a completely different way.

I only have a couple of years of data for remote/semi-remote work, but personally I’ve found physical presence is an important factor in how connected I feel to others. And how connected I feel to others definitely has a strong effect on how much meaning I find in what I’m working on (I have more than a few years of data for that.)

> You probably don’t need to be caricaturing other people’s experience to justify your own.

I don’t follow — whose experiences am I caricaturing? I meant his comments resonate with my own experience of working remotely.
Because then small states would have little reason to remain in the union.

Maine, Alaska, Hawaii... what's the point of being a far-off-forgotten small population state to a superpower if the other neighboring nation is offering better protection of my interests?

The Senate was designed to ensure that even small states had their interests represented and not drowned out in the tyranny of the majority.

The Senate was specifically designed to prevent the challenges faced by the late Roman empire which was constantly putting down far-off remote provincial rebellions. They had to constantly move whole armies from one side of the empire to another putting down one rebellion after another - often supported by the neighboring unfriendly nation.

Without the Senate, Russia would have had a much easier time starting "independence" movements in Alaska during the Cold War.
That makes sense, but knowing it's 284 LOC means I can casually read it and learn something from that.

That would be different at 2840 LOC or very very different at 284000 LOC.

> If you don't believe in freedom of speech for people you despise you don't believe in it at all.

I don't think we have freedom of speech (as Americans know it) in the UK anyway so you're not wrong.
I suspect that everyone (Fed, consumers, government) will be relatively content to float around at 4% YoY CPI for the medium-term now that the "inflation overton window" (if you will) has shifted so much.

I can't imagine that policymakers are going to make precisely zeroing in on 2% their first priority given the current market anxiety... but that's ultimately a bridge that will have to be crossed when we collectively get there.
It's not meant to prevent harm. It's meant to:

* Appeal to morons, a key voting block of the current government
* Appease all sorts of crazies from the religious to the billionaire tabloid owners.
* Allow selective prosecution of people the government wants to make an example of
* Distract from the total failure of government policy in basically every area (defence, energy, foreign affairs, trade, treasury, education, health, transport, justice and others).
Yes, "synthetic analogy" or something similar would be more appropriate. I guess artificial synapse always means an approximation (e.g. if its similar it's only in some partial way: the device uses ionic transport etc). I think artificial synapse has become the nomenclature in the academic literature and they are just going along with that. The article makes a bit of a mess of it though.
One nice thing about inflation is it does not matter what these reports tell you it is as you can easily calculate your real inflation value yourself (based on bills etc).
For the fungus gnats -- Try 'Mosquito Bits' a biological way, using bacteria, of killing them while they're larvae in the soil-- Bti(Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis) produces toxins which are effective in killing various species of mosquitoes, fungus gnats, and blackflies, while having almost no effect on other organisms. They're very effective.

Interestingly, it was first found in a stagnant pool of water in the Negev Desert. (perhaps the only place found to naturally occur)

Why are systems languages always overly complex?
I do most of my programming in Node and TypeScript. It's nice and simple.

I always wonder why we don't just use this syntax to write low-level system code. The module system is nice; functions, objects, and arrays are nice to work with; and the syntax is simple and familiar.

A systems language essentially just adds access to pointers.

In most of these systems languages, the raw memory management is often abstracted away into libraries, and we are just writing basic logic in a new convoluted syntax that a single dev happened to like. Think Rust, Zig, etc.

It's quite clear that TypeScript is going to be around forever. Why don't we just use this syntax for a systems language, and add a few constraints to make it low-level.

Imagine the same syntax/tooling for embedded, kernel, system (browsers, interpreters), backend, and frontend.

I just don't know why there is not more interest in this.

You can't grow infinitely forever. Eventually, you'll never be able to hit the target and it will distort things in really weird ways. Just look at the machinations Jinping Xi has had to pull off just to keep China going.

They have had positive GDP growth above 5% since roughly 1990.
> There are so many problems with trying to adopt it for real projects it isn't even funny... Good for researchers sometimes, but even then... It's got issues.

Almost by definition any "year over year" metric that is taken monthly will be at least somewhat noisy.

And if you think about it, reducing "inflation" to a single number will always disguise some things - gas prices adjust multiple times a day if necessary but things like leases only get renegotiated once a year or even longer.
You're not wrong about Federal overreach, in my opinion, but the representation issue is real as well. If the Senate didn't exist, or if it wasn't setup with equal representation, then less populous states would almost never have the votes to affect Federal policy. With both House and Senate required to pass legislation, it helps to ensure that the more populous states can't pass legislation at will.
Great comments so far! I expanded upon the role in the initial description!

Your electricity bill is probably correlated to heat wave more than inflation (depending on where you live). Also, the headline number is a very broad indicator. Inflation hits different sectors and different regions very differently. It's not a uniform force, it's derived from thousands of data points. Also, bear in mind that a "drop" is a drop in the rate of increase. Not an actual drop in prices which is something that never happens by design.
If you have an electric dipole with a positive and negative electric charge near to each other then the force drops off like 1/r^3, faster than 1/r^2. This result is for a single quark in isolation; in reality quarks come in pairs or triplets, and they each have different colour charges which cancel out the long distance behaviour of the strong force
Maybe things in _our_ perceivable universe follow the inverse-square-law because they exist in the 3 dimensions familiar to us, as you succinctly explain. But maybe the Strong force propagates in less, or more, or different, dimensions?

Does the Strong force propagate at C? Can we test that? It might give some hint.
Kind of a side issue, but I too have noticed that Taco Bell has gone from one of the cheapest fast food places, to actually being more expensive than other fast food options. This started before the pandemic/recent economic weirdness, but perhaps has become even more so.

Some people switch engines but want the new one to accommodate to the previous workflow. You can try to make Godot work like Unity but you'll fight the engine all the time because it's designed differently. So maybe that's what you read. 3D support is much better now than it was before so it could also be that.

In my experience, Unity felt free to play, pay to win. I felt that the engine was full of holes in stuff that I expect an engine to handle. It's not a small percentage of games that need controller support, or tilemaps, or proper sorting of sprites. Some of that eventually became officially supported by the engine but by that time I was more than happy with Godot.

I've seen people give 2 hour long talks about how they managed to force Unity to do pixel perfect rendering, while in Godot it's a couple of checkboxes.

So I guess it depends a lot on what you're trying to do. For some games Godot might not be the best choice and that's fine, you have to choose the right tool for each project.
Everything is a lie and that's a fact --- where advertising is concerned.
What an incredibly biased article. CEO's always talk positively about their company and roadmap. So by this logic any executive who sells stock at any time must be engaged in a pump and dump? It's sad people eat up such clickbait without critical thought.

Elon stated his reasons for selling quite explicitly:

-------

"In the (hopefully unlikely) event that Twitter forces this deal to close and some equity partners don’t come through, it is important to avoid an emergency sale of Tesla stock."

"so if the twitter deal doesnt close, will you buy Tesla stock again?"

"Yes"

TSLA is about to do a stock split, and the price is expected to go up as a result. If anything this was the worst time to sell. If he ends up buying back in later, it will be at a loss. Where's the gains here?
* I would like to have the freedom to participate in an online community where hate speech is moderated. It’s fine to me if other people want to participate on platforms where hate speech isn’t banned, but I will stick to ones that are less unpleasant for me personally.*

That's great, but it doesn't have anything to do with government-mandated censorship. I too wouldn't exclusively use unmoderated online communities.
Soft drinks are a loss leader for fast food, which is why judging McDos on the price of a single item like soda or mcmuffin is a bit oversimplified. Pricing strategy fluctuates (sometimes) independently of supply costs.

This was a big red flag for me, too. There’s a reason the term “bike-shedding” exists among developers.

You want to keep the bikes dry, and what color you paint the shed, or whether you call the paint “tan” or “beige,” matters not at all. Labeling people who disagree with you about the paint color as “bullies,” and fighting them to the death, is profoundly useless. Just ask yourself what really matters, and let the rest go.
Do people really think that governments censor opposing viewpoints to “prevent harm”?
I'm intrigued by this thought exercise!

If it doesn't depart too much from the analogy, what is the lake (water below the surface, under the field) and what is above the field?

Are we supposed to assume that the water below the surface is inside the field, and above the surface is outside of the field?

What is the non-exceptional form of the particle, or thing that makes up the particle? I guess this is the essence of your analogy, and your point is that we've spent so much time trying to identify this thing as a particle, we can't yet answer this question?

Or have I now dissolved the analogy by taking it too literally?

I think the veneration of "the founding fathers" as a special group of wise people who set down words in the 18th century that will--that must--be held in reverence as unchangeable in perpetuity, well, I think that sounds a little bit crazy, even if you didn't know that that the special group of wise people in question didn't think much of well more than 50% of the current population.

In fact, it sounds so ludicrous that one might think I'm exaggerating, but that is the actual position of originalism.

The piece I left out, the piece that makes that crazy statement not seem so crazy to those who follow it, is God. Supporters of originalism would say they were "a special group of wise people ordained by God who set down words..."

And yet they still didn't think much of women or Black people, lived in a world in which every farmer had munitions capable of holding off the world dominant power, ands had only seen what they had seen up to that point in history.

I wouldn't want any one group of people today, in 2022, deciding the details of government for a group of people in 2257, and I don't think we should be bound quite so firmly by people from 235 years ago, either.

We can--and have--corrected the most obviously egregious errors with some early amendments, but at the same time we've left most of the structural choices based on the same attitudes in place, or even made them worse with artificial limits.
Used the klemheist when I did rapelling to lock the break if I took my hands of the break. Preferred it over the Prussik as it bite better to the rope when under load because it twisted around it, and did release easily when the load was removed. It also was easy to slide along the rope.
