I think the OPs point is that the YoY numbers are largely meaningless. I don't think the Fed is trying to cause a period of deflation where we'd go back to the prices we had a year ago. Rather, they're trying to at least get inflation flat so prices stop growing. Where OP is wrong is that MoM inflation is not flat. It's quite high when annualized (~7% the last two months).

I would hope if the courts are sorting this out they will put an injunction in place to prevent cancelling the debt until a disposition and all appeals have been exhausted, as that may be something rather difficult to undo.
I'm sure that those things are important to those people. But they are less important to the world than the engineering that goes to make sure that there is power to run the servers, routers, laptops, and mobiles. Less important than the engineering that makes the motors that move the trains to get people to work and production lines for the food we all eat.
Ok, I think I generally agree with your categorisation.

> which we can tell as founders/managers

Honestly? No. No you can’t.

Unless you know everything going on in the employee’s life, and their every thought, you have no basis for being able to tell if an employee is acting in “bad faith” by “slacking”. Even just defining “slacking” is next to impossible.

By your standards? Maybe. But maybe you just have too high standards. Or maybe the employee is going through a particularity rough patch in their personal lives. Maybe they’re burned out. Maybe they lost a loved one and are still grieving. Maybe you never told them they’re underperforming and they have no idea. Maybe you just are so tunnel visioned on a particular thing you don’t realize the additional things the employee is doing outside their job.

There are a plethora of reasons for why someone’s performance may not match your expectations, and the amount that are in bad faith is already small and hard to differentiate from just being a bad performer. So no, unless you were an omniscient being, you likely don’t know what’s going on in the employees head, let alone if they’re intentionally slacking.
Different behavior based on argv[0] was first brought to my attention when I discovered that /bin/sh was a symlink on some Linux systems. Bash has a Bourne shell compatibility mode.
The worst is when the rule they cite isn't a real rule at all, like Lennart Poettering's defense of systemd breaking on usernames starting with a digit, which is completely valid as far as the Linux kernel is concerned but he decided such names were ackshully against the rules and therefore systemd wasn't broken, bug report closed not-a-bug.
The court can issue an emergency injunction to prevent an irreversible action like that before the courts are finished with it. Considering the president can just keep postponing the debt there's no real rush here to complete the cancellation before the courts can rule on the constitutionality.
So, I got sniped hard by this.

1. I've re-opened by hashing PR and I'm going to suggest that they adopt ahash as the default hasher in the future.

2. I've re-written my "reduce allocations" work as a POC. Another dev has done similar work to reduce allocations, we took different approaches to the same area of code. I'm going to try to push the conversation forward until we have a PR'able plan.

3. I'm going to push for a change that will remove multiple large allocations (of PreparedStatement) out of the query path.

4. Another two devs have started work on the response deserialization optimizations, which is awesome and means I don't have to even think about it.

I think we'll see really significant performance gains if all of these changes come in.

I think the complaint is that the “biggest annual rise” part gets lost/diluted; it is in there but much of the messaging sounds like prices just shot up this month instead of this being a YoY observation.

I.e. coverage doesn’t emphasize or analyze that it’s a 12-month trailing average. (And, it could even be going down MoM and still give you a YoY increase if lots of increase happened 6mo ago; that might be the opposite valence of news.)

WSJ probably being one of the more technical papers so that’s a best-case version there.
There was no snark. It was just the shortest way that I could find to convey the message that "the best way to comply with laws that govern data collection and data processing is by not collecting data and not use third-party services that collect user data in the first place.

It's the same thing with the cookie-banner law, by the way. I am running a service in Europe and I can proudly say that I have no cookie banner on my site. You know why? Because I don't have any tracking cookies on my site in the first place.
There's also the concept of price anchoring, where people believe that something they purchased has the same price long enough, they start to think that it always should have the same price (regardless of everything else). And some people just love to complain about everything.

During my childhood, my parents loved to comment about how gum/candy was a nickel when they grew up. They don't complain about the price of anything else going up, even though undoubtedly all the food prices have gone up in multiple decades. But they only bought candy at a short period in their life, and the price was the same from when they started and when they stopping buying candy, so they only have the "one true price" in memory. Everything else they have to purchase regularly so they're exposed to increasing prices. Just not candy.
To be clear, I reported it under photos of people who are trans while it was used as a slur in comments that were derogatory. Usually, this would result in the comment being deleted.

What's your opinion about the philosophy behind the phrase "no human is illegal"?
I work in startups mostly, where requirements are not defined and the business learns as it goes; it's simply not possible to identify all the areas that are "snowflake" ahead of time.

It is sometimes possible to persuade the business that if they create the process in a way that matches the framework it will make life easier for everyone. But often that isn't possible, and often there are good reasons for that.

I wanted to read this article because I assumed it was a satire piece. No, it’s merely a summary of a particularly bone-headed decision, trying to mix senior residences and undergraduate housing in the same place. I did 8 years in uni housing and now have grown old. The social, auditory, cultural, … environments or the two are basically night and day. Trying to adapt to each other was either a land grab on the part of the senior housing builder (drive away the students) or university people smoking the good stuff.

It’s like the cliche of: town builds airport a distance away from town. Over the decades, housing grows towards airport. Eventually, people complain that the airport makes too much noise, should never been built that close to people’s houses and should be closed.

They started off talking about the line defined in the contract as though it applies in the relational context. The GP contends that the equivalence is inaccurate: many will view termination a day before vesting a sort of theft, i.e., the contract line is fundamentally separate from the appropriate-in-people’s-judgment line.

The response then operates from that premise, exploring the possibility of a distinct line to draw. In other words, while it is clear that there is no vagueness contractually, the response is focused on the distinct question of a line of appropriateness in the relational context.

In evaluating that possibility, it commits the line-drawing fallacy, rejecting the distinction on the fallacious grounds that there isn’t one clear answer as to where that relational line is.
This is my understanding too. Meaning, there's a huge backlog of compliance issues at so, so many companies.
> I am shocked -- shocked! -- that our deck is being passed around. ;)

Often there is important insight and market detail in a deck, especially first-financing deck, that could help a fast follower, so you wouldn't want it shared widely.

But in the end there's a big, big difference between idea an execution, and if a fast follower could get it from a deck, perhaps there isn't much differentiation in what you do.

Decades ago I was advised to act as if any competitor had full access to our internal systems (payroll #s, marketing plans, the works) and assume that prospects and customers not only don't know anything about what we do but also that they could not care less. I've taken this to heart.
> If you used your own product wouldn’t you learn some issues that exist within it?

Isn't that the worry? Say a bug in your timekeeping software underreported hours worked and that lead to workers not being paid their agreed upon rate. When it goes to court you now have to prove that you didn't maliciously introduce the bug to save on employment costs, whereas if it is a third-party providing the software it's their problem. "Conflict of interest" is ultimately just another way to say "I don't want to assume the liability when things go sour". Nobody cares about conflict of interest when things go right.

If you have been giving honest feedback about the performance issue and he is aware of what is going on, you can risk a termination whitout compensation but you are probably getting sued. If he is not aware about the management insatisfaction you are most likely getting sued because he will see receive it as an unjust termination.

The best case scenario here is to push some form of compensation agreement.

Also, as a manager, you should build trust, even you people that you don't particularly like, so termination without compensation can have negative lasting effects on teammates.
Several of the concerns revolve around the complexity of managing multiple IDs (product SKUs, prices, etc) for a single subscription - and the author reaches the conclusion that this is because it's optimized for "e-commerce and not B2B SaaS".

While from the buyer's perspective, "single negotiated cost with overages" may appear simple - it's a single bill after all - on the accounting side for the company selling the product, I'd expect it's much more complicated; with potentially different tax rates for different products and complexity around producing an auditor-defensible determination for "cost of goods sold" and "marketing expense."

So for at least some of these requests, I see Stripe's posture here as helpful - it's not "requesting a dollar figure", it's "creating a detailed enough accounting trail behind that bill to operate your business." Looking across the breadth of Stripe's products, I'd give them the benefit of the doubt here.

I started using Obsidian Sync and I’m quite impressed. The sync between my Windows laptop and my iPhone is almost real-time. Conflicts are handled nicely by merging changes from both sides and the user is notified about it. And of course, everything is still stored in a local folder of Markdown files. Would be interesting if someone from Obsidian could share some details on the implementation.
> we instructed each pair to generate creative uses for a product for five minutes and then spend one minute selecting their most creative idea.

This is published in Nature, why? it's a very narrow definition of "creativeness" . Such claims have a mountain to climb. Scientists have been doing remote work for decades, it's not like all the creative stuff happened in attention-deprived conferences.
The GDPR also has the concept of data minimization, which I believe would apply in the case where you're unnecessarily sharing IP addresses with a third-party (regardless of whether they ultimately log them) for something that can trivially be done in-house.

There's zero benefit to using a CDN for fonts - browsers have long ago started partitioning caches per origin anyway, so you don't even get a performance benefit. Just put the fonts where you put the rest of your static files and you're good to go.

Not sure how relevant my experience is, but I work on a 30+ year old Windows application that started life as a DOS application. It is written in a mix of C and C++. We still do things pretty old school. As part of submitting your work for code review (which is required for every change), you submit the output of cppcheck. When we first introduced cppcheck, there were thousands of warnings and errors that we slowly worked through. Now it is expected that the cppcheck output is empty.

Thanks for the correction - I fixed the list. I do note that github lists Dan's project as 81.6% C and 17.1% C++. Yours is indicated as nearly all C++ plus some Lua.

This is just a start - there is quite a bit to improve on that list.
No, that's not true at all.
Well it isn't decreasing. And 0.1% and 0.4% are still up.
Combined with a GDP recession we have a bleak picture. For people who aren't overcompensated software engineers it is rather annoying combination.
I've been an embedded software developer for almost 2 decades, and this style used to be near universal in embedded, but has become less so, much to my dismay. I even saw a project not too long ago where a large C++ STL List (i.e. a linked list) was created at startup, then later freed piecemeal, causing so much heap fragmentation on the poor embedded system malloc implementation.
Ummm you just mentioned yourself that core CPI went from 0 to 0.1% to 0.4%.

that’s literally the definition of “increasing”
> All that happens is the following:

> - An integer is allocated (and initialized to zero).

> - The address of this integer is returned.

That is not all that happens, at least down at the C/assembler level.

Let me illustrate what I mean. Consider this function, which also does both of these things (cobbled together from Google searches so please excuse incorrect syntax):

func foo() uintptr{
var x int
return uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(&x))
}

All that function does is allocate an integer (and initialise to zero) and return the address of that integer. Exactly the same as your function, right? Except it's obviously not - it doesn't extend the lifetime of the integer variable.

So why not? The GC somehow knows to ignore the number returned from my function, even though, under the hood, it's still stored in a register or stack location or whatever in exactly the same way as the address returned from your function. So how does the GC know to ignore it? Is that number somehow marked in a way that says "GC, when you're scanning memory looking for address-like numbers, don't pay attention to this one"? No. It doesn't look at the number in the first place because it hasn't been told to look at it.

In contrast, in your example, the memory address is not just returned from the function (in the C sense that it's put in a register for the caller to receive). It, additionally, somehow registers that memory address with the GC to let it know that there's another reference to that variable location. That is the extra thing that your function does that mine doesn't. And that magic happens (or at least starts) at the moment you use the & operator.
If they specify it was made in Rust, then chances are that's what's interesting about the project.

If somebody says they rewrote yes in $LANG, I might click through because even though the yes command isn't that interesting, the $LANG part may be.
> can you explain what about this is misleading?

Core CPI was 280.02 in September 2021 [1]. It was 296.95 in August and just printed at 298.66. Up 6.6% from a year ago and 6.7% annualised from a month ago. Nothing misleading.

Regular CPI, which includes commodities like food and energy, was 274.21 in September 2021 [2]. It was 295.62 in August and just printed at 296.76. Up 8.2% from a year ago but 4.6% annualised from a month ago.

The difference becomes clearer examining the graphs. Stylistically, core CPI linearly increases. Actual CPI surged before flattening since June (295.328, less than 2% annualised).
