>You need to look at rate of change of improvement.

Are you comparing the rate of change of improvement of Tesla to Toyota during their first 5 years?
Sucrase is faster or really close to SWC (see rhe benchmarks https://github.com/alangpierce/sucrase). Everyone still uses Babel because of the transforms.

And yes, Babel can also be made faster if enough effort is dedicated into it. it's not an impossible feat.
The headline is pretty misleading. The TypeScript compiler isn't implemented with modules. This is an open pull request which would make it that way.

Raising rates will curb people’s savings and consumer cash in general. This WILL reduce inflation.
Google Maps is "free" in the same way healthcare is "free" in many countries. The usage of the word seems fine.
I don't understand this fear. I was in same boat over 10 years ago, when the household bubble popped, so did prices (over a few years period). Then my downpayment was like 30-40% of the home costs.

There are always people who want or need to sell, even if people who bought high hold on to their homes.
> Real inflation seems to be due to price gouging by companies

Yes, it is too bad that our previously benevolent corporations all decided to end that benevolence in the year 2021 and gouge prices.

> crash the economy for his buddies on Wall Street

Of course, exactly what Wall Street wants.
It's an odd strawman to focus on an arbitrary reduction in government spending, which is inherently part of the GDP calculation (C + G + I + NX, where G = government spending). For G to fall to 5% of the formula, some other variable would have to uptick, either Net Exports, Investments, or Consumption. It's hard to imagine a scenario where upticks in either of those 3 would not be beneficial to Tesla & SpaceX.
Let's not when it comes to human-rated spaceflight, though :-)

re multi-lang support via pprof - afaics python hasn't been touched in years, java is shiny new albeit also first party, in golang pprof is native, and rust pprof seems active.
c & c++ are backend languages, in my experience - what do you mean?
"The key word there being analog phone lines."

No, the key words are uncompressed and non-packetized. The best telephone voice quality ever was ISDN from handset to handset. Digital end to end, 64Kb/s without compression, and rigidly clocked at the bit level. No noise. No jitter. Switzerland had ISDN to the home for years. Also, in Europe, there was power over ISDN, so the phone didn't need AC power or batteries.
A friend there was annoyed when they forced him to convert to inferior VoIP, which, even over fiber, is worse.
Be more patient. Watch Canada and Australia.
I had HPPD for a minute when I was 19. I haven't replicated, but I went really hard into DHA enriched soy milk for a while. I don't know if there's anything there to really connect it, but my symptoms resolved. Phytoestrogens may have done something, and the DHA may have done something, perhaps a combination, or maybe the AA profile of the milk... Or maybe it was just rebound capacity thanks to my young age (admittedly the most probable explanation). This is despite continuing drug use.

I also did a lot of meditation, and pretty extensive sessions (40-60m) of it for a few months.

Some things to consider if you're interested.
Depends on what you define as the "start" since there are probably sub assemblies manufactured off sight or by subcontractors, etc.

How long does it take to cook dinner? Well, depends on whats in the fridge, does it count going to the grocery, who grew the food?
This is a matter of perspective.

Elon has said that his motivation is to make humanity a multi planetary species thereby lowering the risk of extinction (asteroid impact, nuclear war, pandemic, biological warfare, catastrophic climate change, what have you).

Personally, I suspect he might just be doing it because he's nerdy and likes the idea.

For all of us who may not agree with his motives, the technological innovation required to make such a project a reality will benefit all of us anyway; so, for my part, I hope that SpaceX/EM succeed in their goals.
There is a lag.

It just takes time. Even in 2008 prices took a few years to bottom out.
Oil isn't a serious problem, neither is gasoline. The West can safely maintain the situation with Russia indefinitely.

Brent has been in the $90s for a while now. That's equivalent to $65-$70 from ten years ago, which also wasn't a problem then. It's very modestly elevated at present.

Natural gas may be a different matter, although the Europeans look like they can have that permanently solved over the next few years through diversification and greater energy conservation.
She's definitely critical for the the commercial success, and probably federal contracts.

Elon contributed the "what if we landed the rocket?" moonshot ambition. Definitely need both.

Thank you. I learned functional programming first, and I do think there is a lot of merit to it in a large proportion of software development tasks. But there are far too many people trying to fit square pegs in round holes with it. Pure functional applications which manage large amounts of complex and messy state are a nightmare to work with. There is a reason why game developers and simulation developers have almost defaulted to object oriented programming. There is a reason why cryptography developers have defaulted to procedural programming. There really should be a No Free Lunch theorem for programming methodologies.

Also there's extra incentive to tear down anyone with multiple successes, as they're a constant reminder that success isn't all due to luck.
We're not talking about some quirky money-strapped startup. We're talking about Microsoft.
If inflation is caused by selfish companies raising their prices, why are they only doing it now and not, say, three years ago? Did they only decide recently that they want to make more money?
I just wanted to correct you, development didn't start last year, it has been ongoing for several years.

Homeowners are just reluctant to lower, so they are happy to sit with fewer sales and higher prices. It will go down, it is just sticky because nobody wants to admit their home is worth less.
Yeah definitely. Well we haven't had analogue phone lines for decades but compared to landlines, mobile can be much better - especially now we have HD Voice which landlines (and call centres apparently) can't access. Maybe it's the extra echo cancellation that's the real problem.

> his goal is to crash the economy for his buddies on Wall Street

nah, any avid trader can take any direction of the market to capitalize on any opportunity

it doesnt matter what someone is lobbying for

when he was increasing the fed balance sheet, who do you think he was buying from and giving free money to at every transaction? his buddies on wall street

its the same any direction
It takes years for existing sellers to wake up to market shifts, unless they’re desperate is why.

If it’s a nicer area, many can ride it out through an entire bust cycle.

Most folks can get 30 yr fixed rates, so any area where most owners have stable employment and/or strong capital reserves, can cruise with zero movement for years if conditions aren’t favorable, barring estate sales, forced sales from divorces, etc.
I was really disappointed to find out that you can no longer setup a new Win11 machine without creating a MS account. No internet connection during Win installation? Too bad, can't install Windows 11. I had to buy a USB to network adapter since I couldn't install any of the MB network drivers, since ya know, I was still trying to install Windows...

FWIW: Once logged in, you can create a local account and remove the MS linked account. A small consolation.
> Under the header 'Protect your money', the first bullet point is never use bank tranfers.

The first bullet point is

"Never send money by bank transfer unless you are absolutely certain you are sending it to someone you know and trust. Sending money by bank transfer is like sending someone cash and generally, once you send it, it’s gone"

which is about paying by bank transfers, and very different from "never hand out your bank account to receive payments", which pretty much every business (that do not want the keep their proceeds off the record) does by default in many (most?) European countries.

Sure, if some stranger on the street asked for my bank account (or my name for that matter) out of the blue, I wouldn't do so. But for Craigslist type in-person sales, people here have no problem giving their bank account to receive payments. The typical fraud is here is asking for payments of to be delivered goods and subsequently not sending the promised goods, which is what I understand your link is also warning about. Because European bank payments are mostly push-type, that are largely irreversible. For direct in-person sales (such as farmers on a market), that's not an issue.
Builders are holding off building more housing because interest rates going high means they get less. The lowered prices actually reduce the stock, making housing even less available.

> The reality is that our position as arbiters of speech is a distortion of the democratic system, and the immune system of democracy, speech, is coming to fix that.

I don't know how to square that view with the observation that in the United States, an attack on Congress was perpetrated as a direct result of a runaway lie regarding the integrity of the election process. That's not free speech protecting democracy; that's a mob riled up by unchecked lies directly, physically attacking the mechanisms of their representative democracy.

Believe me, if I was observing free speech bringing truth to power and undermining, for example, the lobbying infrastructure, or the massive consolidation of power in megacorporations, I'd be thrilled. The cathedral needs to be corrected if not taken down. But that's not what I'm seeing. I think I'm mostly observing the rich and powerful using their ability to buy content on the various free channels of speech to rile mobs with lies. They're trying to cut the structural constraints on their piece of the cathedral and turn it into, if you will, a High Tower.

I'm not thinking about Biden's laptop; I agree with your assessment of that. The amplification of lies about the structure of US elections threatens to undermine the democratic process, and if it crumbles now it's most likely to be replaced with a fascist autocracy.
Our current inflation isn't being driven by demand, therefore decreasing demand won't be an effective lever for dealing with it.
I like how the law of supply and demand in economics has been renamed "price gouging" by democrats.
The problem with Go is that it offers nothing substantial above the existing ecosystems.

.NET and Java, both garbage collected, are just as fast or faster with a much larger ecosystem. The only real differences are mild (composition vs inheritance, simpler multithreading, better TDD support, etc).

Rust owns the low level space for modern composition based development and manual memory management. C/C++ exists as well.

Typescript and Python completely dominate the dynamic space.

So... why does Go exist?
It might be too cumbersome for most, and I might be more paranoid than average, but each project for me means a fresh VM, a new Keepass database and dedicated accounts.

No, because even in this scenario there are large media outfits that publish their own stories and would still be able to sell advertising to brand-conscious advertisers. Ads don't go away, they just retreat to newspapers and large blogs while everyone else loses out on a means to fund their work.
The authorities have no reason to be involved. It's 20 minutes, and children can take care of themselves.

At least 99.9% of my voicemails are a couple second long robocalls, but in the rare event of it being a genuine phone call, I get the google transcription of someone saying 'please call me back' on my watch and then I do so. Just because I'm willing to glance at notifications on my watch of incoming voicemails for an instant, doesn't mean I'm willing to talk to hundreds of robocallers per month. Its just too expensive.

Voice phone calls are dead, kid discussion would usually be handled via text or email. I don't really get phone calls about my kids. I believe the more corporate-type environments enjoy the written documentation provided by text/email as opposed to unrecorded undocumented phone call.

The era of always-on low-fi audio connections was very short. Just 30 years ago, parents certainly had no electronic tether and had a home phone number, maybe with an answering machine in later years. And now that technology is completely dead and unusable.
> Oil isn't a serious problem, neither is gasoline.

Isn't a serious problem, yet. That's because China is offline and EU is still purchasing oil from Russia.
Alcohol clearly lowers brain matter volumes I don't understand how any of you scientifically educated chaps can look at the figures and determine otherwise. It says literally "negative in every dimension" and that is not an exaggeration. Now, if you think alcohol is the only and best substance escape available, then maybe there is an internal rage against the sentiment. But alcohol is very low-tech and I encourage you all to explore the alternatives.
I would prefer they undergo a cultural 180 before they start catching up to the west or China on dual-use technology.

> Being productive is not a good

Perhaps you mean that being maximally productive -- that is, seeking productivity over all other goals in life -- is not a good? Because productivity is definitely a good. Without it, all crumbles away to the natural state, which is chaotic and for human purposes "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short".
Same day closing sounds like a feature that would need to be a part of the underlying ERP. The scenario planning ideas sound more possible as add-on/extensions to the main system. Thanks for the area to investigate.
This criticism of the Ethereum ecosystem also does an excellent job of identifying the forces that undermine decentralization in the long run:

https://moxie.org/2022/01/07/web3-first-impressions.html

One reason the blockchain has persisted longer than other decentralized systems is that it introduced economic incentives for maintaining its system. I think this is the best strategy for making decentralized systems that resist the tendency toward centralization while remaining competitive with centralized ones.
> Working fulltime in Rust now, but it's hard to find work there that isn't crypto-tainted.

There's a whole bunch of ex-C++ devs who have shifted to Rust in this thread.

The existing C++ jobs probably need to shift to Rust.
Also does the move going to negatively impact US businesses and possibly US consumers. Ultimately these measures are restrictions on what US companies can do. These restrictions are going to affect their existing/potential revenues.

So what the US companies get in the bargain with the US Government to offset their lost revenues due to this measure seems unclear.
This is a strange way to say "market forces".

If it were arbitrary, the landlord would exceed the price the market would bear and the home would sit vacant.

Otherwise, if you think the price is "too high" then the demand exceeds the supply. If you want the practice to fall, either demand must shrink, or supply must increase. Demand can shrink if more people live with roommates or family, or the local population declines.

Supply can increase if we build more houses.

Inflation means the landlord has to pay more for repairs and upkeep (both in labor and supplies). So, if the deal was "fair" before the increase in expenses, it sounds fair after the increase.
It's not that people (including myself) say he's a failure, for me, it's a massive amount of skepticism with admittedly a fair amount of snark. To me, he seems to want to take all the credit - I've rarely seen media reports of him saying the efforts of someone else were paramount (edit: other than a team at one of his companies) - It could be the media I'm consuming, but even on his Twitter feed, I've not seen him mention Shotwell for instance. One man, I don't care how smart, cannot be this involved in so many projects and succeed so wildly without being incredibly demanding, maybe too demanding of those who work for him. Let's give credit to those there day to day, like Shotwell, who realistically is a lot more involved and hands-on than he is.

Or you know - maybe he is that amazing, I doubt it, but Trump did invent the MRNA vaccines all by himself as well, so...
Object Oriented Programming is a style, like Generic Programming.

A language can offer features which support this style well, or not, and you can insist on programming this way regardless of whether the features support it well.
> This will do nothing for actually impacting inflation.

Correct and incorrect. You are correct about the causes of inflation. But it's the Feds mandate to tame inflation, and their only tool is rates. The correct solution would be for congress to act - but they won't.
> cocs are supposed to police the contributors, no?

its a generic phrase. I definetly would have thought that if I was reading a github page; but not necessarily when I have to read a COC for joining a Discord.

Apparently it's getting tough to operate outside of everyone's random (usually poorly written) CoC on the net.
I'd love transparent sandboxing -- but the difference between me wanting to install the awscli and something that steal awscli's credentials is only a matter of intent, so a bit difficult.

I've basically converted to doing all node development in docker containers with volume mounts for source, now it looks like python is going to need to be there as well, at least for stuff that pulls in any remote dependencies.
They're not actually selling the data to anyone.

You really have no way to know this do you?

A political consulting firm got full access to 87 million Facebook accounts. Are you sure no money changed hands in the process?

Every time you click on a Facebook ad, Facebook sells data on you to another company.

I wouldn't bet that they are just ignoring such an obvious opportunity --- even though they may describe it as sharing data with their "affiliates" --- aka, anyone willing to pay the right price.
In fact, it's hard to imagine how, in American society, a person could build a hugely successful new car company from scratch and revolutionize the launch industry, without becoming extremely rich in the process.

"My view is that space-based solar power is impossibly expensive and will never be used on Earth."
Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure this is true. Especially since our grid is so out of date. For instance, one attack in San Jose back in 2014 by one person with a rifle almost took down northern California. There isn't a lot that having distributed power generation will do if your distribution system is burning to the ground. I mean, if one dude with a rifle can take down an entire substation, imagine what a couple cruise missiles in a time of war could do.

However, I imagine that rooftop solar and municipal batteries would do a lot to encourage a more modern power distribution system with micro-grids and battery based peaking.

if basic security doesn't work, why do people bother with passwords or basic cybersecurity measures? Most crimes are done on soft targets, even making things slightly difficult is enough

Common sense says that making espionage even slightly harder has fantastic results, look at how restrictions on nuclear technology have been successful at preventing proliferation for decades. North Korea only got their nukes after the US lifted sanctions under Clinton for a few years and China helped them
Since you're willing to engage in such an argument, you should count by the number of civilian casualties and violations of human rights instead, in which China and Russia would be holding the top spots by a wide margin.
