" The root of inflation is the printing of money"

Completely wrong, the gold standard had a mostly fixed supply that was growing over time but the price went up over the long term but there was inflation over the short term anyway.

Deflation happens when people save more than others have a desire to spend and invest. Inflation happens when people spend and invest more than other people want to save.

The other problem is that no printing is happening, that operation simply doesn't exist beyond the creation of physical dollar bills.

>No government will reduce the printing of money

Do you live under a rock? Germany was running a hard debt brake before the pandemic and right now the debt isn't excessive either. How about you actually look what is happening around the world before making universal claims?

>The value of money will go down the drain faster and faster forever.

What did you expect, did you really think the opposite is going to happen? That you are going to enslave the future faster and faster forever?
Stopping dictators from coming to power when the going gets tough and there are millions of climate refugees from near the equator wanting to migrate to the habitable global north.

Look at what a few million Syrian refugees has done to German and French politics during a period of relative abundance. What do you think will happen if you multiply that number by 100, and add in some economic turmoil and hyperinflation? You get some modern iteration of the Russian Revolution or Nazi Germany. But this time, everyone has nukes.
Because it’s not currently available. When an SKU is available from a 3rd party it shows that it’s “fulfilled and shipped by third party name”.

There's also the more insidious version of this where instead they go, "That sounds nice, but we really don't need it."

"May I ask why you don't need it?"

"Oh, we found that we spent so much time on deployments that we decided to do only one planned deployment per year now."

In this case, the people you're talking to have obviously only swept the dirt under the rug, but sometimes they honestly think they've solved the problem this way!

(And then they ask everyone to "work harder" because the competition is running circles around them. This usually means cramming more things into already big deployments and failing even harder than before.)

> You can have arbitrary bit width integers as well.

This is news to me, how? AFAIK they'll only eventually make it into C23 with _BitInt(N).

...and apart from building a C++ wrapper class of course, but how would this pack with data outside the class - like the 4 + 28 bits example in the blog post.

Also IIRC when I tinkered with C/C++ bitfields, some compilers (at least MSVC I think?) didn't properly pack the bits (e.g. a single bit would be padded to a full byte, or they couldn't agree on a common size of the containing integer - e.g. one compiler packing <8 number of bits into an uint8_t, and another into a uint32_t). In the end C/C++ bitfields weren't all that useful for the use case described in the blog post, at least if portability across the three big compilers is needed (gcc, clang, msvc).

I also found writing useful to stop my head from circling around problems repetitively. Writing serves me not only to think, but to actually see the structure of that thinking process (a beginning and an end, argumentation), hence seeing the whole picture and how I am are not deliberately missing something.

This eventually frees me to focus in other things, feeling that I did as much as I could with the thinking at that moment. New ideas may come eventually, but for the moment that thinking "batch" is ok.
I'll grant DOS, maybe win16, Windows 9x, and NT, but it's a bit much to count multiple versions of the same OS and I'm on the fence about compatibility layers - can I include WINE and say that the same binary also works on Darwin, Linux, and Illumos? (If that binary works on DOS 1.x, I seriously doubt that that it's any more "native" on modern Windows that on, say, Illumos; they're both just using an ABI compatibility layer)

Nature has been hitting the reset button every so often, but you know what happens? Evolution as the survivors rise to fill the empty niches and a new diversity eventually replaces the old one. Thing is humans can help that process along by cataloging and planning on how to bring back endangered or even extinct species, reforesting, reintroducing animals to old habitats, etc. Things will be rough for the next few decades, but we'll also have the knowledge and technology to reverse some of it.
It does matter if people aboard, there are more rules and procedures. You need a vessel with safeties that can allow them to eject safely if there's an anomaly.

Of course it's more challenging.

And it does matter if there's more fuel, you have to have valves and pipes that won't freeze after lengthy contact with cryogenic fuel. And you need larger pressure vessels, which scale in volume differently from surface area. It's not at all the same whether you move one ton or a hundred.
Zero-Sum Conversations
- Raise taxes or debt sufficient to pay politicians and their consultant and corporate friends to develop climate change plans which generally involve paying more money to this same friendship group.

- Make slight adjustments to urban and infrastructure planning to accommodate for expected changes, e.g., updating catchment forecasts and flood and tide maps are probably some of the big ones (although the former two are wildly unpredictable at the best of times).
Have you tried talking to that underperforming quarter and asking them what’s going on? Perhaps they need more direction or they’re burned out, or personal issues, or maybe they just want to leave and are waiting until something better comes along.

This has nothing to do with remote - this happens all the time in most teams who work in office, for the same reasons.

p.s. 15 people is too many for a single manager. If you haven’t already, define smaller teams and designate a team lead for each. Start managing those team leads.

well, it's an eval/apply loop, which by definition, is going to be able to execute code!

I dont think it's obfuscated at all. Of course, reading it requires knowledge of how the read/eval loop works in lisp - something the viewer might not have studied, but that doesn't make it obfuscated.

Nine months is the duration of a Hohmann transfer to mars, not necessarily the shortest possible for starship - since starship has ~6900 m/s delta v ( https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1151300180148252674 ) and an earth-mars transfer only requires 3900m/s I think 6 months is well within the realm of plausible.
> Because Rust binaries are so secure, you can expose them over the internet safely.

That doesn’t stand to reason. Safely in that you can confidently avoid things like remote code execution, sure. But that doesn’t necessarily protect you from denial of service attacks; for example, I expect most services built on Hyper to be vulnerable to slowloris attacks <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slowloris_(computer_security)>, because I believe it still defaults to basically no sane kind of timeout, and doesn’t provide the tools to handle it properly anyway <https://github.com/hyperium/hyper/issues/1628>. If that’s part of your threat model, you should avoid exposing it directly and use a reverse proxy.

Good somewhat related reading, on a technologically simple DoS attack on Rust-based code that was largely fixed by speeding things up, fixing caching and proper use of reverse proxying (via Cloudflare because it was genuinely heavy load): https://fasterthanli.me/articles/i-won-free-load-testing

The Myth That Never Moves
Which inflation?

From 20007 to 2017, prices of pretty much everything I look at doubled. Shares, gold, coffee (when you order it in a cafe), real estate ...

Money lost half of its buying power and you tell me inflation went up by only 1.75%?

Similar to the feeling I got when re-watching Dark Knight Rises, and Drive on a plane (Lufthansa?). Something was missing — the violence. I guess airlines have to assume that any age can watch films on those screens and cut films accordingly. Strange to think that a country wants to treat the entire population like Lufthansa treats kids.

After the plague, Europe developed a thriving middle class of merchants, etc., which formed the basis for free market rights.

Read the book. It's a nice counterpoint to currently popular theory.

Native American tribes were in the stone age, and did not have any consistent notion of human rights that I've read. Keep in mind that also very little is known about the pre-Columbian tribes, as no records were kept (yes I know the Maya had writing, and hence we do know a lot more about them).

What data is this prediction based on?

I don't quite follow the reasoning here. Is your concern about the mental health of those doing the raging? It is good to stop raging, not a very useful emotion for sustained, demanding tasks... As a personal anecdote, I'm now finding it much easier to act from a position of purposefulness. I feel much better overall after deciding I'd wallowed in fatalism for too long.

What's up danger. Hey, don't be a stranger.

The reason we have inflation and deflation is that people don't have to talk to each other to coordinate supply and demand on specific days.

The gold standard doesn't solve the short term inflation deflation problem because to solve that you must ensure that for every buyer there is a seller that can handle the demand and the opposite, that for every seller there is also a buyer at any given point in time.

The purpose of saving is to sell today and buy tomorrow and trade places with someone that wants to buy today and sell tomorrow.

When you are saving for retirement you must sell to a future worker that will take care of you when you are old and that future worker must take on debt and buy from you. Then when you retire the positions reverse, you are buying and he is selling.

Only if those positions are in balance do you actually get no inflation.

But nobody even wants to think about coordinating production and consumption schedules because they fooled themselves into thinking liquid money does it automatically when the fact that we have inflation and deflation really just shows that it doesn't work.

People save more than others want to be in debt leading to deflation. Or people take on more debt than others want to save and reduce consumption leading to competition over products and services and higher prices aka inflation.
"WGPUColorWriteMask_Alpha|WGPUColorWriteMask_Blue" creates a number with both the alpha and blue bits set, then "mask &" (that number) ands the mask with that number in which both bits are set, so it'll only return true if both alpha and blue are set. The parenthetical grouping of the operators is key here.

> In 1984 (of all years), the US Department of Justice finally broke up AT&T in half a dozen corporations, after a 10 year legal battle. Yet a decades later, we're back to only three large providers doing essentially what AT&T was doing back then, and those are regional monopolies: AT&T, Verizon, and Lumen (not counting T-Mobile that is from a different breed). So the legal approach really didn't work that well, especially considering the political landscape changed in the US, and the FTC seems perfectly happy to let those major mergers continue.

So the Justice Department broke up AT&T, then allowed them to effectively reform decades later, and somehow that proves that regulation doesn't work ... even though regulation is exactly what is being proposed here. So don't trust the government to regulate... but trust the government to regulate. Got it.

Honestly, if you want this problem to go away: Mandate that all communications services using public rights-of-way be obligated to sign peering agreements with all comers on some specified set of terms...or have their access to that right-of-way revoked.
I keep hearing you need to write to think, but I just cannot. If an idea is not clear in my head I cannot write. I might be able to brain storm or do a mind map or dump words. But I cannot write.

I need to think through the idea in my head. I find I can create infinitely complex worlds in my head and go down various paths, words on a board/paper/tablet just help me direct that thought process. A lot of the time I do not even need that, I just need time to think through the idea in my head. Once I am clear then writing is a breeze.

Based on articles like this I have actually tried to write before the idea was clear in my head and lets just say I have never completed an article/document/anything any time I have done that.

Am I doing something wrong?

It is very convenient to have an automatic escaping of everything.
I love the tricks that can be done with the old COM format. It's so versatile and simple, its almost like scripting. You can even make it ASCII clean while retaining some semblence of turing completeness!

I had a weird and pointless project somewhat recently where I wanted to bootstrap a programming environment using only the stock tools on NT 4. I didn't actually finish, but what I did write was pretty contrived. I wrote some code for JScript, which had to run in IE since there was no scripthost, and it would parse some horrible language using a very inefficient IE3 JScript compatible implementation of parser combinators and generate x86 code... And output it in base64 into a textarea. Which I would then need to somehow get back into proper binary data...

So my approach was to write a small DOS compatible COM binary with a really simple base64 decode routine. I'd do this with the DEBUG command, and save it to disk. Then, I'd use redirection in command prompt to feed it base64 and redirect the output to a file.

I was pretty ecstatic to see this awful hack job working somewhat end-to-end.

(I don't have the code, I think it got wiped out when the drive in the laptop I was doing this whole game on died. But it was quite straightforward to implement base64 in very little code; I believe what I wound up doing was accumulating 3 bytes of output from 4 bytes of input with a few conditionals to shift base64 symbols into the corresponding bits and then just some shifting and ORing. No LUTs necessary.)
