> "the market’s ability to self-regulate"

The market is artificial. For an example it it operates (largely) within constraints that are external - laws.

Modifying the money supply is a lever that can be used to achieve goals - such as a desired inflation rate.

Whether its a good idea or when and how is the appropriate way to use it is another question. Implying it is bad because it is "artificial" begs the question of what's "natural". The market is clearly not natural.

This has also been studied with evolution in the 19th C., and its exactly the opposite. The older generation believed it first, before the younger.

This quote is used, without evidence, and it never made any sense. People who know more, and are incentivised to act on their knowledge, often change their minds.

Expertise is a contrary force to partisanship. (And as far as people cite Kuhn: he was wrong. He did not set out to disprove his views, if he did, he'd find plenty of examples to the contrary).

Just because it boosts GH doesn't mean you build muscle. Undoubtedly, fasting has positive metabolic benefits, but building lean muscle mass isn't one of them. The studies I have seen about regular fasting and muscle mass generally show loss or at best maintenance with exercise. Generally you will be catabolising muscle when you wake up from sleeping, until consuming sufficient protein. This is why body builders eat so often, and also try to have some slow release protein before sleeping.

You are right that exercise isn't a good way to lose weight, I am not talking about that at all. By magnitude of benefit I am talking about mortality/longevity/frailty, not weight loss. That's what really matters.

The relationship between body weight and hard clinical outcomes is complicated and not monotonic (obese pre-menopausal women are less likely to get breast cancer, to provide one example). Additionally, asian people suffer from the skinny-fat phenomenon, where they are not obese but have metabolically pernicious visceral fat.

Even Apple, who is notorious for not caring about backwards compatibility, does these kinds of backwards compatibility fixes in the OS https://worthdoingbadly.com/appkitcompat/

But the lengths to which Microsoft has historically gone to for backwards compatibility have been legendary - if decades-old internal corporate apps for which the source was lost 10 years ago don't work on the latest Windows, they don't get all that sweet upgrade license revenue. It's their bread and butter.

> pandoc has great citation support

Sure, on paper. Every time I use Pandoc, I have to look up how it works again, and I find it hard to get it working. I think it's hard to make it integrate with Bibtex/Natbib.

It gives you a way of defining \RR so you don't have to write \mathbb{R} over and over again.

The government bought them from the banks, using money the Treasury created. When the assets are sold the created money is 'retired' and any profit returned to the Treasury.

IMHO QE in the US went too far, but it was absolutely a necessary programme that stabilised the US economy at critical moments. The increased reserve requirements on banks, while dragging on bank profits since, were prudent and seem to be working well, especially compared to Europe.

Nonsense. Even wine professionals love plenty of bottles for under $20 and there is absolutely a need for uncomplicated everyday wine that doesn't break the bank. They often love Beaujolais Nouveau, which must be drunk very young. Flashy labels used to be an indication of style over substance, but as a new generation of wine makers have entered the market that is no longer the case. Loads of great wines don't just have pictures of Chateaus on them.

I have made a good-faith effort to substantiate GP's comments and been completely unable to do so. Meanwhile, on Investopedia, the article "How the Federal Reserve Creates Money" directly contradicts GP's claim that the Fed doesn't create money: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/081415/under...

> Printing money is the job of the Federal Reserve, but only figuratively speaking. When the Fed decides to stimulate the economy by pouring more money into the system, it electronically transfers additional credits to the deposits of its member banks. The banks lend that money out to consumers and businesses at a profit, putting the money into general circulation.

> To use citations, the standard way is to use the `pandoc-citeproc` filter.

I keep using this and finding problems. I actually need to integrate with Latex's existing citation libraries instead of using Pandoc's specific ones. How do I get your thing to invoke Natbib?

I feel this may also be in part from panic-fatigue (for lack of a better word). I'm 23 and it feels as if since the earliest memories of childhood I've seen commercials and initiatives about how the environment is in horrible shape and we need to fix it or we're all going to die.

That's not an exaggeration, truly it's been a subject that's been fear-mongered on for decades now. Perhaps the fear-mongering is justified. It is a real issue. But it's a but difficult to continue caring when you've been told that we're facing imminent doom since childhood and nothing directly observable has happened yet.
If you don't control people on a high carb diet, there is a massive swing in blood sugar and insulin levels every two hours or so as they binge eat.

Enormous amounts of willpower can push thru that, or a low carb diet destroys the appetite.

Either way if a fat person eats for 16 hours a day unrestricted that'll be about eight cycles of super high blood sugar and the resulting hypoglycemic insulin crash followed by about eight episodes of binge eating.

If the same person limits their food intake to only 8 hours a day either via appetite suppression due to lower carb diet, or willpower or external force, they can only get about four cycles in of super high blood sugar followed by insulin spike followed by hypoglycemic crash followed by massive binge eating.

It seems likely that four cycles of binge eating per day will cause less "metabolic syndrome" damage than eight cycles of binge eating per day. Even if the total caloric intake is the same, the body at least has more time to recover.

The above "seems" to be what they verified in the paper.
A more cynical view is that this is not about the opus licensing fees at all but rather to discourage use of opus in favor of Dolby's own alternatives.
This sounds like Wayland Weirdness.

On Xorg with Window Maker and no (desktop) compositor running, my own toolkit (example app[0]) resizes instantly.

On Xorg with KDE5 (not sure which exactly version, whatever openSUSE has) and a (desktop) compositor enabled, same toolkit also resizes without gaps (though there is a small delay, probably due to the compositor, i didn't try without it). Same with native apps.

On Wayland/KDE5 the same toolkit resizes without gaps but there is a visible "lag" for the titlebar to be updated that didn't exist with Xorg/KDE5. Since the toolkit only supports X11 i'm not sure if it is due to XWayland or KDE5 though.

TBH in none of the above configurations that'd be something i'd notice unless i was looking for it - or it was very laggy. Even on Wayland, it is something i noticed because i was resizing the window constantly back and forth to see if there is any lag.

According to Wikipedia, Ryugyong hotel is not finished: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryugyong_Hotel
It’s the co-opting of GTK that drives that. GTK used to be fairly platform-neutral under Linux, and at least moderately neutral on other operating systems, adopting some of their conventions and with theme matching being possible. It has become increasingly aggressively GNOME-bound, so that with every major release it becomes more and more difficult to produce anything that looks or feels native on any platform other than GNOME. (Even under Linux; and it’s completely impossible to produce a good result for Windows any more.) Gutting theming. All but forcing a particular idiosyncratic form of overlay scrollbars. Insisting on client-side decorations and refusing almost to acknowledge the very existence of server-side decorations (in both GNOME Shell and GTK, from both ends). The list goes on, though these are probably the three biggest ones. From time to time they take a small step back (e.g. libadwaita) or present an apparent alternative (e.g. libdecor), but those options never work well, and I strongly suspect that, whether consciously or unconsciously, they’re just to try to placate the mobs. (libadwaita hasn’t gone anywhere near far enough, to the point where they might as well not have bothered: GTK is still riddled with mandatory GNOME HIG stuff that is strongly opposed to conventions on other platforms.)

’Tis said: never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence.

But malice learns to wear incompetence as a mask, and organisations weaponsise incompetence.

I doubt that individual GNOME developers mean any malice. There may be no malice intended from any of the GNOME project leaders. But over the last few years I have steadily become convinced that cumulatively their actions and policies are active sabotage towards every last bit of the Linux desktop that isn’t GNOME.
Thin sheets might not be that much of a drawback if you can layer and fuse them, or even better make a composite sandwich like sea shells. It's going to be interesting to see how it gets commercialized.

Jon Ronson, a journalist, told a story[0] about a guy he interviewed in an Asylum that had pretended to be crazy to get out of a minor crime (I think shoplifting).

The promise to the Judge was, you do a month of psych ward, get some counseling, and get out. "Sweet!" he said, "Better than doing a year in the can for stealing". His psychiatrist branded him a sociopath and put him on some pills that he, a liar, didn't need. They changed him for the worse, a sane man entered the asylum and day after day he was turning into a raving lunatic. "I'm not crazy!", he said - but that was only more fuel for the doctors, as it was clearly something a crazy man would say to get out. The attitude around here was that if you yelled, you got more pills, maybe a beating by an angry male nurse too. If you stay quiet, you don't get out. "I don't need any of this! I was pretending! Please let me out!" he cried.

The nurses held him back and tossed him back into a padded room. As they dragged him, he kicked and screamed that he was not crazy and didn't need help, but it was all pointless. His psychiatrist later told Jon that the alternative was worse, that he was a liar, a pretender, and someone that willingly gets in here for any reason clearly belongs in the bobby hatch.

He would never get out again. Jon met him on his 18th year in the tin, he clearly wasn't right in the head when they talked, the pills, electroshock sessions and pointless talks with the Psychiatrist every week had clearly sapped this man of any energy he might have once had. He was a ghost of a man now, hunched, old and weak. What a punishment for stealing a can of beans.

I don’t really see a good way out of this for the UK if pensions are in such a bad state that they can’t tolerate any change in interest rates. The era of free money is over, at least for now. The BoE can’t keep rates at 0 any longer. The government is going to need to borrow money to function (like all governments do). So the only option is going to be to sell bonds on the open market. That’s going to mean that bond prices will fall to the market rate, which is apparently higher than the pensions can tolerate.

There is no comparison. NILFS provides *continuous* snaphots, so you can inspect and rollback changes as needed.

It does without a performance penalty compared to other logging filesystems.

And without using additional space forever. The backlog rotates forward continuously.

It's a really unique feature that makes a lot of sense for desktop use, where you might want to recover files that were created and deleted after a short time.

I find 1.1 years as average incredibly low. Is this really the case?
Yes, exactly!

I also feel way less pressure to act like I understand something that I don’t out of fear of looking stupid. It has been such an overall net positive for my brain.
