Because the word "stigmatize" is a loose word that can be applied to anything

If tomorrow you were to find in a reproducible experiment that people with samoans origins are not good at abstract math you would be "stigmatizing" the population and your research would be banned.

The problem with the word "stigmatize" is that it is a code word that draws a line of what may be studied and published.

It is basically a warning to steer clear of anything "controversial" because at any time it could be declared at "stigmatizing" and there would be no recourse.

Well any kind of nuance or perspective.

Here is one thing to consider. A pension trades returns for stability. People pick a pension as their form of retirement because they have a lower risk tolerance. Anytime these tradeoffs are happening you are going to see wealthy people who took the risk side and came out ahead.

There is no more a 'free market' as there is such a thing as a 'free house cat'. Markets require an outside authority to impose structure, otherwise it is simply a question of who is strongest.

The 'powerful forces' of which you speak are actually the further right, since Reagan, who would rip up social structures precisely so they can take by force what otherwise would be rightfully denied them.

I did use SourceSafe, but it has been many moons.

In any case, SourceTree just released an update that seems to have fixed all the crashes.

Babashka is an excellent Clojure runtime with fast startup that I use for all my scripting needs nowadays. Best part is that you can develop with it interactively via nREPL just like regular Clojure. You just run bb --nrepl-server and connect your editor to it.

Modern software is so slow because objects, by definition, are post-paradigmatic. Every program is, in essence, an exercise in metaprogramming that can't be reliably optimized, built upon, or chained together with other objects.

And then you have hundreds of failed attempts to solve that problem which don't actually strike at the root problem, further making a mess of the computing environment so that it requires multiple gigabytes of resident memory to write and execute "hello world."

They aren't really borrowing money. They're having to post collateral against derivatives (probably interest-rate swaps) that have moved against them.

Those swaps are supposed to be a hedge against falling interest rates: they lose money in a rising rate environment, and the colossal bungling of the UK economy by the current government has resulted in such large and rapid rises in gilt rates that the collateral calls exceeded cash available to meet them.
This is only really useful for low grade heat, but is good to add to the mix.

Give an equal alternative to Google or cloudflare? If I can't get a comparable product from someone else whose views align more with my own, than I can't exactly "vote" with my wallet can I? They are essentially "running" unopposed.

It's also very convenient that the voting system is "whoever can spend the most money wins" when we're dealing with corporations who have more money than entire nations. We need something a lot better than "deposit cash to cast vote" when it comes to choosing who controls what we're allowed to see and hear.
Clearly you have zero exposure or familiarity with people or the area or the current circumstances.

Do you think that Ukrainians, having been exposed to the direct torture, rape, looting, wanton destruction of property, and various other war crimes, are blaming Ukraine for this?!

Even the most brain washed by Russian propaganda eventually have their eyes opened by the reality of occupation.
Well said. I rocketed up the chain early in my career for inventing some truly innovative stuff (that's been published in top conferences). Then I fought against stupid shit. I spoke out. I had strong technical opinions. Eventually I was pushed aside and my career has tanked (but rest-and-vest baby...except I'm slowly recovering and still seen as a company intellectual resource). Meanwhile I watch all the mediocre managers keep rising who are "yes, sir" and don't make any enemies. They don't do shit except follow the status quo and build their empires.
Where the Wall of Death Is a Way of Life
They're sham elections because any election being held by an occupying force about wanting to join the occupying force cannot be shown to be without coercion, even with international observers. Especially after the discoveries from Bucha, Izium and other places.

On top of that, there's the fact that large portions of the residents were forced out by the war, especially the residents inclined towards Ukraine. So the fact that they don't get a say also makes these elections a joke.

International observers recognized this, thus they refused to oversee the elections. It's a pretty shrewd move to request international observers, since if they had accepted they would've appeared to be giving Russia legitimacy (regardless of what they said) and by refusing they've given Russia the ability to claim to useful idiots that they were trying to act in good faith by asking for international oversight but the West was acting in bad faith.

Alternative hypothesis: (brace yourselves) people don't care enough. Any vendor will prioritize requirements, if performance is not in there, that CPU and memory is going to be used if in any way it helps the developers. Conversely, by looking at a system you can infer its requirements.

For commercial airplanes it may be safety first, ticket price second (passenger capacity, fuel efficiency) and speed third. For most software, functionality, signing up for a subscription, platform availability etc are usually prioritized higher than response times and keyboard shortcuts.

Game devs worry a lot about latency and frame rates and professional software care a lot about keyboard shortcuts. This proves (anecdotally) that performance isn't unacheivable at all, but rather deprioritized. Nobody wants slow apps but it's just that developer velocity, metrics, ads etc etc are higher priorities, and that comes with a cpu and memory cost that the vendor doesn't care about.
You don't need uBo to block JavaScript, you can do that right in the browser.

But often blocking JS means parts of the article don't display or the site breaks in other ways. Washington Post for example only shows blurry placeholder photos with JS off.

The kill-sticky or the element zapper in uBo can sometimes do what blocking JS cannot.
That's really interesting. I didn't know the intricacies behind that.
> What kept inflation at 2% was a perfect historical moment in global growth/globalization that will not come again in our lifetimes.

If that "perfectly balanced 2% inflation" was pushed away with say, the central bank raising interest rates, what do you think would have happened?

We would have had deflation. Which is incredibly dangerous. Its not even a question, all of that inflationary pressure (low rates, QE1, QE2, QE3, etc. etc.) the central bank pushed from 2010 through 2019 was just barely able to sustain 2% inflation... the target.

>It's not a question of whether that's good or bad, it's just inevitable.

Nonsense. Almost everyone is going to agree that powering ventilators a country that's too poor to upgrade to renenwables is a better use of energy than rolling coal.

>The number one goal of humanity should be to find or create sources of energy that give us orders of magnitude more supply than there is demand.

Ironically, by calling it our number one goal, you're implying that energy used to develop sustainable energy (e.g. power rare earth metal mining machinery) is a better use of energy than any other type of energy consumption.

Your computer can do an awful lot of syscalls and IO in 1 second.

And almost all of the network traffic and syscalls can be mitigated almost all of the time. Eg by caching, buffered IO, cutting out bloat, minifying javascript, static rendering, using lower res assets, and so on.

There’s exceptions - AI, video games, rendering and simulations work can take real time.

But other than that, modern computers should boot instantly, and apps should open instantly. Webpages should open within about 3x the server round trip time. There is very little software I’ve ever worked with that, with some effort, couldn’t be massively optimized.

Tree rings in similar ecosystems will follow similar patterns. There's more to it than this, but imagine if each ring is thick or thin, indicating a rainy year or a dry year.

Now, imagine you cut down a tree. You see that it has 122 rings, meaning it was born 122 years ago, or 1900. Then you go look in the same forest and you find a dead tree, you don't know when it was born or when it died, but you see that the 20 outermost rings thick-thick-thin-thick-thin-thin-etc ring pattern matches the innermost pattern on the tree you know the date range of. So that means the last 20 years of the unknown tree's life overlapped with the first 20 years of the known tree's life. So that means your unknown tree died in 1920. You count the unknown tree things and see there were 140 rings, so that means that tree was born 140 years before 1920 - in 1780. Then, you find another tree that has overlaps with this now known tree, and you keep daisy chaining your information backwards.

With this method, you can go back thousands of years, if you have enough preserved trees or wood available to you. Then, you can take any random piece of tree, and if enough rings are present, you can tell exactly when that tree was growing.

If you see that every tree your building is made out of stopped growing in the year 1300, then you can be fairly confident that the building was built around or slightly later than 1300(since most people aren't going to let good lumber just sit around for centuries).

I see the OS as an environment to help me run programs. Language runtimes have been taking over that role over the last few decades, sure. However, whether or not unikernels are the way forward remains to be seen. I still see it worthwhile to improve the OS, however.

Thanks, appreciate response, based on my experience posting these on HN, already exceeded my expectations. Though I agree with everything you said, reality is no single (average) person is able to may a significant impact. CO2 emissions alone worldwide are currently around 36 billion metric tons, which mean 4.6 metric tons per person per year. I personally would be perfectly happy to do whatever it takes, but also know short of aliens showing up with a magic, safe, usable, etc source of energy, humanity neither has the will power, nor self-control, nor ability to solve the problem using technology.

Happy to be proven wrong, but as far as I am concerned, right now I have changed my position to unless billions of people rapidly change course, humanity is rolling the dice and odds are not looking good.

Guess I was hoping I was wrong, that there was some new scalable, economic tech coming — or there was new away to “share” the message that has been proven to make a difference — instead nothing has changed.
