That's really only a concern for the first $10k in the first year. After that, everything (but your most recent year) is at least a year old and you can exit early if you have to.
> Are you suggesting it is a good idea to replace the native population to support the Swedish welfare system? Additionally, the article states that many of these immigrant are themselves using the welfare system. Wouldn't it be better to bite the bullet and let the country reach its carrying capacity naturally even if it results in some pain? I don't think this can be explained from an economic perspective.

I'm not suggesting it's a good idea, I'm suggesting it's an idea.

> Can you explain what the other option is and why you think it would be pretty?

One other option is to go the route of Italy or Greece, run the welfare system at a massive imbalance, and make up for it with public debt.

The other options are all some form of breach of the social contract. Either increasing the burden on the working age demographic past what they'll accept, or the eventual bankruptcy of the pension and healthcare system. Pension levels would have to be lowered to the point where the elderly would have to come out of retirement and re-join the workforce to survive, despite a lifetime of making payments into the system and promises they'll be returned.
It doesn't have the states yet. So, equivalent of full nodes -- block, txns, receipts, logs (no traces, states).

But, could be extended to include those, if needed.

We do still use skiplists for in-memory rowstore indexes. They're great for very high throughput writes (less good for scans). In the years since this blog post most of our engineering effort went towards building a columnstore that supports efficient point (few row) read and write queries without giving up the traditional very fast scan performance of a regular columnstore. This is now our default table storage.

Much details in our SIGMOD 2022 paper from June:

There was a time when some stuff was being extracted (removed) from Ruby core and becoming gems and I really tought PStore and YAML::Store were going to be among those, but no, they decided to keep them in core. So maybe there are some important enough use cases that justify it being there.

Or maybe it would be a hard task that didn't justify the effort.
It was true in the UK ten years ago (although this Guardian article[0] tried to downplay the success):

> The amount of greenhouse gases linked to goods and services consumed by UK households, including emissions from the foreign manufacture of imported products, rose by 3% between 2012 and 2013, the most recent data shows. But the figures are almost a fifth (19%) below the peak seen in 2007, when UK consumers were responsible for nearly 1.3bn tonnes of greenhouse gases.

I believe Rush did become famous on television, but after the mid-90s it was really all about his radio program. So it might be to your point, fundamentally it isn't the internet, or TV, maybe it was radio.

I do believe that the Rush style radio talk show lays the foundation for Tucker Carlson and all of the conservative pundit TV programming. Which is the basis for the problems we see with Facebook / Fake News etc.

Ask HN: Is recycling lithium virtue signaling or greener/cheaper than mining?
The price of lithium carbonate is skyrocketing in response to demand for EVs (especially following the Inflation Reduction Act's EV tax incentives): https://www.axios.com/2022/09/21/lithium-prices-electric-vehicles-evs. Solid state batteries may reduce but not eliminate demand.

Ridwell is the only startup I can think of offering battery recycling as a service and it's just a fraction of their overall model.

Is lithium recycling from consumer electronics viable? "Green" in both senses of the word.
Lets just hope it swirls in the right direction with the same iron consistency so that we can maintain our magnetic field, or else our distance ancestors (millions of years from now) might have trouble breathing.

That depends on the applications CRT and compiler and how they are setting up their memory regions.

Some CRT's just go get their own block of memory then malloc out of that. Some use the OS extensively to minimize that sort of thing. It just depends.

There is sooooo much more that Kotlin offers over Lombok it's not even close.
It's pretty lame to make fun of a guy dying of AIDS because you hate that he is gay. Not chad at all. Very weak.
maybe, but that was said originally; but if it was verified, what difference would it have made that they where an occupier?
I'm currently working in a Java codebase without Lombok and the habit is to make all fields public for record-like objects. It's fine 99% of the time.

Every so often I want to change the behavior of something, and it's a big PITA. For example, maybe I'd like to ensure there's a default value for something that is sometimes null. If access was via getter method, I can just override the getter:

class Foo {
private final String name;
public String getName() { return name == null ? "Default" : name; }
}

No need to change the hundreds of places that call .name or .getName().

This kind of thing happens often enough that it really should be baked into the language. Lo and behold, most post-Java languages support it, including C# and (modern) Javascript. Java is a bit stubborn in this regard, but Lombok solves the problem in a way that is almost language-native.
As a regular Linux user who doesn't publish apps but has been reading this argument for years I've never understood the value distros provide.

They're clearly doing a huge amount of work editing everything, but it also doesn't seem like they have the resources to properly test their edits. And while their edits are necessary to make everything work with their system, from a high level perspective they don't seem to be making the software better at what I want it to do. Given that, their model looks like dangerous busywork that at best delays updates and at worst introduces new bugs.

Distros use the word "maintain" to describe what they're doing, but they don't seem to be doing that. To maintain a piece of software I'd expect the maintainer to need a deep understanding of the source code and to continually monitor changes. The complaints maintainers post that software changed seem to prove they aren't doing that.

When I first saw a maintainer complain a library only posted about a breaking build change in their release notes and mailing list I was shocked. I had been assuming they were reading diffs, when they weren't even reading the changelog.
> Why is there no deflation from mass psychology?

There is: that is the ECON101 feedback model of deflation causing money under the mattress reducing money supply causing deflation. That doesn’t occur because modern money systems don’t have a fixed supply of printed money; also governments actively prevent deflation so it isn’t seen.

“Opposite effects occur when the supply of money falls or when its rate of growth declines. Economic activity declines and either disinflation (reduced inflation) or deflation (falling prices) results”.

Rate of growth can decline due to consumer sentiment (psychology).

> BTW, you cannot imagine yourself into having more money.

Strawman.

Consumer sentiment (psychology) can become more positive, people borrow more (increase mortgages or buy a “better” house) and spend more (increasing the money supply).
I only have one or 2 choices of phone carriers with a high cost to switch. I have a multitude of alternatives to FB Messenger (which I don't even use) with very low cost to switch.
That ideal is nowhere to be found, though. I'd hoped the "share all my info I don't care" ethos of the earlier social media era would lead to it, but no we're as shaming/shameful as ever.

Do you tell everyone about your incontinence, ED or irregular menstruation, sudden fainting spells, etc?

And there's quite a froth on porn. So much is not related in the slightest to trafficking, minors, violence, etc but it all gets tainted by what is related. Unlike other productions where the taint is called out and segregated. Hollywood isn't Harvey Weinstein, gymanstics isn't all Larry Nassar.
there... are, though, for example, cydia.

If everything is public, you don't make a difference between an interface and implementation.

Meaning, your framework users can depend on any implementation detail and if you change that detail, the framework will break for these users. They will be disappointed since they didn't know they were doing something wrong (all is public and thus available to use).

You started with "C++ getting replaced by go and rust everywhere" (an enormous exaggeration), and now you want to argue about languages features. OK.

C++ is in a state where it's good enough and slowly getting better. The enormous ecosystem, from libraries to game engines like Unreal, means it's not going anywhere for decades. New "greenfield" games are being written in C++ every day.

I wonder what people, in 100 years, would say about our era.

One might research, work hard and solve a problem that might change the course of development of a major field and win a recognition by $3M while someone which fills few numbers on a lottery ticket may earn 1-2 folds more.

I wish the system would give this kind of efforts and stories a bigger exposure, recognition and compensation.

Edit: The idea was about the prize amount, not those specific people. It wasn't the best choice, but the idea was that even as a statement, prizes for scientific achievements should be higher so they will be an extreme to all people to recognize and strive for. I guess one could find a better analogy than what I had in mind.
For sure my recently bought iPad and Apple Watch use USB-C, so I think that part is not true. Arguably due to EU legislation.
I'm surprised that you so quickly equate the free internet with the internet we have today. We already have widespread suppression of certain types of pornography, most notably that involving children.

The internet we have today is not free. The society we have is not a wholly free one but we rightfully make trade-offs to protect people.

We know that today there is already a huge issue of nonconsensual pornography, revenge porn etc. Why the line of what is "free" drawn at protecting these groups, why do we tolerate open abuse against women but not against children? I wonder if our outlook on women's safety as a society is really as forward thinking as we would hope when we look around the world today.

> "unrestricted pornography" is the sign of a modern society.

Is it though? In another world you could say the same thing about drugs. Some people in America today might say it about gun freedoms.

I don't know. I think there are lines to be drawn and I think we can be open to discussing those without falling immediately into hysterics about state overreach.
Before 2018 they were, and now they are listed as Title I information services. There is a bit of a court fight over the ability of state regulators to impose rules. I would imagine that they could be moved back if they cause trouble for politicians.

No, it wasn't "on the fringe". Note that this poll was taken in 2020, a full four years later.

"Seventy-two percent (72%) of Democrats believe it’s likely the 2016 election outcome was changed by Russian interference, but that opinion is shared by only 30% of Republicans and 39% of voters not affiliated with either major party."

finally bringing the prophesy foretold in The Birth & Death Of JavaScript to fruition, nice
I was comparing a batch of transcriptions between these models and vosk, and noticed that the medium.en model produces some weird results compared to the others. I've seen a number of loops with one word or a small sequence of words repeating several times. It seems more prone to output that reads like nonsense than the others.

More troubling is a short audio clip that got a few full sentences back, several times the text length that comes back from the other models or vosk. The content of the sentences is extremely far from the audio content. The best alignment I can find is the first word of medium.en's interpretation is somewhat phonetically similar to the audio.

The small.en model doesn't show these behaviors, at least in this data set.

I just meant it as a rhetorical question... just to point out that what is obvious for one person, the opposite is obvious for another.

"ibonds is considerable given the difficulty of using the website."

"I also want my cash to be accessible within a few days"

Now we're comparing apples to oranges. If you need the cash in a few days (kind of odd/rare to begin with), then you want a saving account not an investment. That said, withdrawing your I bond capital does not take months or years (withdraw anytime with only a loss in interest if less than a year).

"The rest I invest in equities, which assuming the US has a functioning society in 5, 10, or 20+ years, will be worth far more."

Depends on the equities and your definition of a functioning society. It's more likely to be flat, at least in real terms, over the next decade.
Also Confluence and JIRA end up weirdly competing, with information spread between the two, sliced up chronologically in JIRA, and based on some a-priori and/or competing sets of structurations...
> So when I had questions, I needed to track down who owned the service, where their code lived, where their Jira ticket project was, which Slack channel they lived in, and where in the wiki their internal documentation was. Keeping track of this for 100+ services was a pain, so I ended up creating a spreadsheet. It turns out that everyone else in the org needed this information, so this spreadsheet that I created for myself became the document of record for services.

100%.

Solving this problem is why I started OpsLevel [1] a few years back. Everyone always starts with a spreadsheet because they're flexible.

But spreadsheets quickly fall apart because they're not complete / up-to-date, automated, or really scalable.

We figured we could automate a whole lot of collecting service info from different places (Git, k8s, other deployment streams) and keeping it up-to-date.

Current large language models can't really extract semantic relationships from the syntax of language. That is, you might say

"an fairy with a red left eye and a blue right eye sitting on top of a mushroom"

the model has no understanding that there are discrete entities being talked about that are to the left, right or are on the bottom or top of something else.

The model might do OK with the "fairy sitting on top of a mushroom" bit because it is trying to create an image that has various parts that match bits and pieces of the prompt, and the area around the bottom of the fairy and the top of the mushroom might match "sitting on top".

It is all a big pile of biases that happen to be close enough to our world view to impress it. I mean, you might get a chuckle out of an LLM that has learned that "Tyrone is a thug" but you don't want a robocop programmed that way because it won't produce justice.

> C++ still exists because existing projects were written in it... that's it.

False.

> There's no value in using it for future projects other than a wider pool of developers to source from

Well, you know, that is value. And there's value in being in the same language as the libraries you use. And there's value in C++ in the embedded space. And there's value to being able to control memory alignment in the high performance space. And...

If you're writing some generic web service, sure, there's no reason to write it in C++. Your statement was far too broad, though.
