Being the reserve currency, every country wants dollars. Every other country needs dollars to do trade, even among each other.

With a tax cut, US consumers have more money which they spend on imported goods. This supplies dollars to the rest of the world, increasing the value of 196 currencies marginally. You can think of USD being in demand from 8 billion people.

If US dollar wasn't a reserve currency, a tax cut would have increased supply of dollars with consumers but demand would only be from the 330 million people in America. High supply of money, no change in supply of goods would then cause inflation.
I can't use Firefox with reddit; but that's probably reddit with any browser! I can't even report how bad reddit is to reddit.
Yes, I was pretty disappointed when Microsoft announced they would transition to v3. They already do so much customization to completely de-Google Chromium and replace it with Microsoft equivalent functionality (and adding new features on top of that) - it would have been almost a no-op for them to maintain v2 compatibility.
Adam Serafini: Speeding Up Python with Zig
As with all things, this definitely deserves some context. His daughter later said that she used some rose mist before visiting him, and admitted that she did smell like a toilet (as in, a fragrance often used to clean toilets).

Python - It (still) makes writing software enjoyable for me.

Type annotations: Started using them this year and it allows my editor to give me all sorts of hints about things I'm doing wrong.

Typer / Click: I've been writing a bunch of CLIs this year and Typer and Click make this really fun.

Wezterm: Went all in on this terminal 3-4 months ago and it's really great! In particular I like the "copy mode" features and it's "tmux+mosh" abilities.

LunarVim: Been using it for ~9 months, and it gives me all the advanced developer features I felt like I was missing in my various attempts at a custom vim setup, without the pain.

sway / i3wm: On my 4th year using it and it just fits my workflow so well.
Baguette is traditionally a sourdough. Specifically, a liquid dough levain.

This whole article seems strange because "sour-" the root doesn't exactly mean "sour" the taste. It's from "sauer" which implied any aerobic ferment or oxidation, since the old name of oxygen (and still in German) is sauerstoff.

Yes, ferments often produce telltale organic acids, but the takeaway is that sourdough isn't called sour because of the flavor, but because it implies that it's derived from an existing culture and not a fresh ferment, like Jack Daniel's Tennessee "sour mash" whiskey, which notably does not taste "sour".
It may be an acquired taste especially stronger versions. But it's most of what I eat and what I usually make at home.
> we needed our SaaS to also work on-prem for financial companies and government entities, and thus we could not count on kubernetes or any specific cloud vendor

....? kubernetes is not a cloud vendor, it runs on any Linux distribution, and it's FOSS.... ?!
I was pleasantly surprised the article actually had something resembling Night Driver. Such a simple concept, but it was a game that stimulated your imagination. That and star Riders were brilliant for their time.
> I'm not sure the British people would be willing to accept the sorts of concessions EU members are likely to impose on them for re-entry

There won't be any concessions. For there won't be any reentry of the UK into Europe. Its impossible after all the vile ire that was directeda gainst Europe and Europeans by the British media, establishment and the very Brexit Britainers.

That vile attitude is recorded on the Internet forever and it will never go away. And a delirium like 'Don't talk about it anymore' like how the Brexit Britainers seem to push inside the UK these days don't fly in Europe. People don't have the memory of a fish and they certainly won't forget how they were treated.

Probably the US Treasury department which did the sanctioning or whomever else is trying to stop you from using the funds. Basically whoever says "no" when you start the conversation.
The first step, is to actually have consequences to the commission of crimes again. How is it so surprising that when you get lax on penalties, there will be more crime?
I discovered today that Adobe is introducing Project Shasta, a web-based AI-powered audio recording and editing tool. You can request access now [1].

It seems their intention is not only to provide AI-based audio editing and recording but also to cover the ground of what Riverside already offers.

Remote recording - Recording with others is as easy as sharing a link. Everyone’s audio is recorded in high quality locally, then Project Shasta syncs it back together in the cloud automatically.

"Soon to come features" list things we can already find in Descript, such as filler word removal or speech enhancement. And features already available in the beta include microphone checking for optimal quality and microphone distance, AI-powered audio, remote recording with guests, and project templates.

I was waiting to see what Adobe's take on AI-based audio editing and recording was, and it seems it's here. At the moment the project is referred to as Shasta; I imagine these capabilities either format a new product offering or are integrated with existing tools like Audition, Premiere, or After Effects.

What do you think?

I hear "knew their place" and all I can think of is that they knew they were watching ads... now many people think that all their content is free (like information wants to be ;^) not realizing they are are the product being sold.

It's not like tiktok/Insta or the news/blog promotional articles are anything but ads... people just don't "know their place" any more.
Compare with SIGINT, HUMINT, MASINT and other intelligence sources. I believe it’s military/intelligence terminology but you see it in security jargon too.
Not lame at all. You wrote what everyone except lamers immediately thought of.
So in two places on the thread and specific responses? Are you purporting that professionals don’t create value and generate wealth for society, where exactly has this been disproven. Not to mention, across the border in the US where we have statistics for this- Indian Americans have founded 90 of the top 500 unicorns in the US and generated $430 billion dollars of wealth for the economy. There’s no reason it wouldn’t hold up in Canada as well.
Lack of customization for one, either I do things the GNOME way or the highway. Screw that, if I wanted that I would be using MacOS and/or iOS instead since Apple does that far better.

Form factor dissonance for another. GNOME clearly targets the mobile form factor, and it fails me for all the reasons Metro in Windows 8 failed me because guess what: I'm using a desktop/laptop, not a tablet/phone.
Is there a serious performance benefit here instead of using electron?

You still need to spin up an instance of your operating system's javascript engine correct?

"The computers that control your car"

That maybe used to be a good example of "durable computronics". It's increasingly not true. Seems to be for a variety of reasons though, not just one. Things like DRM, lower expectations of usable lifespan of a car, higher performance needs for complex safety systems, expectations around things like large displays, etc.

In all seriousness, the most surveilled room in the city should be the surveillance center. Perhaps on a delay, everything that happens there should be reviewable by any citizen.

If something happens there that needs to be struck from the public audit record, they should be required to get sign-off from a judge or have a watchdog official summarize the incident with the minimum possible redaction.
That can be said of literally any food. For instance, I hate chocolate. And upon learning that, people will sometimes tell me, "oh, you must be thinking of /American/ chocolate. You'll like /real/ chocolate". Nope. I've humored enough people and sampled various combinations of cacao, milk, dark, Belgian, Swiss, and so on. I don't like chocolate.

If you imagine asking Siri or Google Assistant to do things for you, of course that would be incredibly frustrating; they suck. That style of HCI is a dead end for sure. However, asking a human personal assistant to do things for you wouldn't be so frustrating. Especially if they know you well. That is the kind of experience I'm talking about. Yes, I do believe it is possible in the not too distant future. Maybe 10 years or so. It won't be as good as a human assistant at first, but it will not be like the speech interfaces you're used to.
GeoCities started taking off in early 1996, at the same time NYTimes.com started publishing. Of course there was AOL and personal webpages before that.
I loved using the paddle. Atari controls were not very durable, and the paddle's potentiometer degraded into a simple switch, which Night Driver handled perfectly too.

> One person had the nerve to say Google was “hurting” employees by taking away the travel and entertainment expenses.

Sounds just the culture of the US, or at least the Google management encourages such culture. Anything is hurting. Words are weapons. Everyone is victim. Military is evil. Gebrus are oppressed. How many times did people apologize for using the word "guys" or get yelled for using the word because it was not "gender neutral"(for the fuck's sake it is, BTW)? Yeah, I saw a few times. Compared with such "hurting", yeah, cutting travel and entertainment definitely hurts.
Pockets of extra sour!? Fascinating, what is her secret?
I feel like linux only works for 2 categories of people:

1. The extreme laymen that do essentially nothing outside of the web browser

2. The tech savant that has the time, energy, and motivation to spend the countless hours required to get Linux to run anything sufficiently complex.

Those in-between typically have the desire to do more than they are able to easily do OOTB with Linux, but also lack the technical ability to actually do it.
Health apps share potential health concerns and user identifiers with ad firms
>What we learned was that several popular Android health apps including Drugs.com Medication Guide, WebMD: Symptom Checker and Period Calendar Period Tracker gave advertisers the information they’d need to market to people or groups of consumers based on their health concerns.

>The Drugs.com Android app, for example, sent data to more than 100 outside entities including advertising companies, DuckDuckGo said. Terms inside those data transfers included “herpes,” “HIV,” “adderall” (a drug to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), “diabetes” and “pregnancy.” These keywords came alongside device identifiers, which raise questions about privacy and targeting.

>Drugs.com said it’s not transmitting any data that counts as “sensitive personal information” and that its ads are relevant to the page content, not to the individual viewing that page. When The Post pointed out that in one case Drugs.com appeared to send an outside company the user’s first and last name — a false name DuckDuckGo used for its testing — it said that it never intended for users to input their names into the “profile name” field and that it will stop transmitting the contents of that field.
No, that's a complete strawman.

Wildfires are happening earlier in the spring and later in the fall due to climate change. They spread faster and burn hotter and are more likely to start in first place because of climate change.

If we reversed climate change... Things would just go back to pre-industrial levels. Fires would happen in the summer. They'd be smaller, rarer and more easily mitigated.
You can have the best of both worlds with `Visual Studio Code Remote - SSH` and a lot of mintty -> ssh user@host (to a VM, if needed).

I forget where I read it but a not insignificant percentage of pirated software contains malware

Probably one of the strong antipiracy groups' propaganda. They conspired with AV vendors to make cracks detected as malware (with a vague name/description) despite there being no actual "malice" against the user.

The truth is, they might be the ones trying to seed malware in warez releases to further their narrative.

...and of course Windows is basically ad-supported at this point.

If you don't mind looking like a comic book villain, try the 3M HF-800 series with p100 filters. The silicone is very comfortable and it has a button for self-fit-test, which allows you to loosen the straps while remaining confident that you are protected. The large amount of filter surface area results in very low breathing resistance, and the exhalation valve improves comfort for extended wear.
It’s not “I hope they don’t read it”. It’s:

Check out Trino Summit 2022 to learn more about the federated query engine and "Federate 'em all". Talks include Lyft, Shopify, Astronomer, Starburst, and much more to be announced in the coming weeks!

Trino (formerly PrestoSQL) is a query engine that originally aimed to replace the Hive runtime and grew into a powerful federated query engine. It can connect to Snowflake, BigQuery, Hive, Oracle, Mongo, Iceberg, Elasticsearch, and many more. This enables powerful joins across your platform from one location.
A short list of things worth thinking about trying, listed in no specific order:

1. Find a project at work that you are interested in, and move over to that.

2. Join a completely different team/org at work.

3. Join a completely different company, doing different types of work.

4. Join a socially responsible company, doing charity work.

5. Quit your job, and take a 6 month break. Don't think about work during that break.

6. Go see a therapist for at least a couple of months.

7. Improve your diet and exercise routines, potentially with professional help from a trainer or a nutritionist.

8. Begin a treatment plan using drugs w/ the approval of a psychiatrist.

9. Begin a treatment plan using drugs without the approval of a psychiatrist, YOLO mushrooms time.

10. Leave your job, and move into an entirely different industry. Go start a farm.

11. Take a trip to a country with a radically different way of life, to gather some perspective.

12. Take some daily time to do something away from a computer - like join a pottery club.

13. Read some philosophy books on the meaning of life. Do some introspection based on what you read.

14. Pick a goal at work, like getting a promotion, and figure out what you need to do that.

I want to also offer a quick theory of burnout. Burnout is caused by 3 different sources:

1. Plain old overwork. Too much on-call is not good for your soul.

2. Mission doubt. If you begin to doubt the reason why you are doing something, you will get burned out.

3. Broken steering. If you feel that nothing you do actually is changing the situation, that you're unable to make meaningful progress in your work.

What I want to stress about this theory is that you don't need all three to have burnout. Some people think that taking an extended vacation is the cure to all burnout, because their theory only accounts for source 1, when you can have burnout from a job where you only work 20 hours a week. You might wish to first try and figure out which of these 3 sources seem like the cause for your burnout, and then which of the 14 options seem most appealing to you.
There are assuredly advertisers for steam-engine-adjacent products. Memorabilia, experiences/outings, conventions, models, books, artwork, games.
> the really interesting thing that happened after Serial got big is that I didn't have to describe what a podcast was anymore

Maybe you should've. The semantic promiscuity with the use of the "podcast" is on par with the tragedy of "wikis". People calling things "podcasts" that are not available for download because you can only listen by running a specific app like Spotify; things that are just hour-long videos recorded and uploaded to YouTube and not actually available anywhere in podcast format; things that are never actually recorded because they're streamed live and disappear when the thing ends—none of these things are podcasts.

I get it. Podcasts are sexy and marketable right now, so wouldn't it be good if we could use that word to describe our show, too—instead of just describing it as a "show"? It's obnoxious to have a word that means a thing and then not know if that's what someone is even talking about when you hear them use the word.

Docker's easier and does all the same stuff. It's integrated with everything else, has an interface everyone is familiar with, uses OCIs, is extensible, is supported on basically every platform, has a simpler config file, tons of community support, and now runs rootless.

Does anyone have a use case where they couldn't use Docker? I'm sure they exist but the list must be tiny. Listed in the article is:

- run systemd in a container
- why?? does your system not have systemd or equivalent?
- bad design; how will you monitor what's running and what's not, or upgrade an individual service in this container? restart everything?
- apparently systemd can run in docker?? https://medium.com/swlh/docker-and-systemd-381dfd7e4628

- run lxc/docker in a container
- docker-in-docker
How many of them died due to heat?

Lots of universities are large and have lots of departments. That doesn't explain the success of the top 5 elite. For example, 6 universities grant more PhDs than UW-Madison yet have less success.

I think it might be productive to dive in on this part

> Loosely, that's the observation that (stochasticity of spread aside) we'd expect the earlier lineage A to have more and more diverse descendants than the later lineage B. Their epi model in "Separate" is a formalization of that, and if they could correctly and confidently model that spread then I believe it would be sound.

Yeah, that's the observation. However, you're invoking the epi model at the wrong time. If you read `Inferring the MRCA...`, all of this is already known and observed before the modeling is even run. The epi model doesn't contain these results. They constructed their SC2 tree, then brought it over to the epi model to play with it.

If you want a "formalization" of that observation, perhaps Table I will do.

The results are best read in order.

If you're trying to better understand the phylodynamic model, perhaps "Inference of Viral Evolutionary Rates from Molecular Sequences" by Drummond would be interesting.
jaimehrubiks stated unequivocally without substantiation that "Somebody asked before to please not share lwn's SubscriberLinks". LWN's founder & editor has repeatedly stated otherwise, hasn't criticised the practice, and participates in the practice himself, as recently as three months ago.

SubscriberLinks are tracked by the LWN account sharing them. Abuse can be managed through LWN directly should that become an issue. Whether or not that's occurred in the past I've no idea, but the capability still exists and is permitted.

No link substantiating jamiehrubiks' assertion seems to have been supplied yet.

I'm going to take Corbet's authority on this.
Thanks for this comment even though it's being downvoted. This is a huge overstep to sanction a set of open source protocols.

Funny enough, even VB himself has 'Tainted' Eth in his wallet. He's used tornado cash on three different occassions.
More or less all "proper" books are kept by national libraries. So if you got real need, there is a chance to hunt them down.
> Counseling could be an example of benign therapy

Even counseling based conversion therapy is not benign. It would get your license revoked as a therapist in most places (in the US, not familiar with other places) well before it was illegal. The problem with counseling based conversion therapy is it relies on guilt and manipulation of the person involved.

> And yes, you are wrong.

I'm afraid that you are one of the people they would be lying to in this case, and thus I cannot take your word on this. To be clear, this is not an indictment of you, just based on what I have seen of similar situations in my life.

This idea is similar to how some MIDI controllers work where the state is indicated by an array of lights around the knob, and the knob is an encoder which rotates endlessly. A popular and cheap example https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=P0B3M

This makes it possible, for instance, to map knobs to adjustment controls in Lightroom and have the knob "change" instantly as you move between photos that have different adjustments applied.
The reviews for one of them says it's very loud and meant for constructions sites. Maybe one of them is quieter? (post a link if you find it!)
Even setting aside the idea of political usefulness and partisan bias (not quite the same, something might be politically useful by discrediting other factions within one's own party), the fact that both of these databases are made by americans is in itself a completely sufficient explanation for the main result of this study. Databases made by americans are going to disproportionally contain websites that tend to be linked by american politicians.

But, for the record, I don't think it proves much that two databases lead to similar results.
