> Why? Why prioritize spending now rather than later? If I can't defer consumption, I will always need to work, and I can't retire. That would be financial oppression.

I should've said spent or invested. You can save by turning money into I bonds or stocks for retirement, and that works because it funds something productive (stocks/corp bonds) or the government would like you to defer consumption due to inflation (I bonds).

But remember money (vaguely) represents stored up labor. In nature you can't retire because you can't save up labor; saving money isn't just like a squirrel storing nuts for later, it's also like if the squirrel could put off gathering them at all.

> I am abnormally curious why this is the case.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk–return_spectrum

Long term investments (stocks) are better for retirement because they're riskier.

> I'd rather they make food for me when I'm old, instead of when I'm young and I can make it for myself. How is this an argument against saving?

By "other people" I meant farmers, so you're probably not doing that work yourself. There will probably be farms because other people are continually buying enough from them to keep them producing, but if nobody buys something for long enough it won't get cheaper, the market will cease to exist because nobody will produce it anymore. Saving money/retiring in this way is kind of parasitic.

An example would be FOGBANK, which the government didn't produce for so long it forgot how to do it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fogbank

> Even in extreme deflation, people buy things they need.

There was a Great Depression where people stopped being able to do that, you know. Deflation really upsets people. Deflation in Germany also got the Nazis elected.

It's not good to think about "the government spending beyond its means" as if it was a household. The government's the one that invented the money in the first place. A fixed money supply doesn't make sense on a planet with an increasing population that all want to use your money because of how awesome the US financial empire is.

And not only did the US fail to get inflation despite best efforts from ~1980-2020, other countries are seeing inflation now without extra deficits.
The far better number to look at is the "Quit Rate"[0][1] - the number of people leaving their jobs for other jobs. It's more reflective of what's actually happening because job openings is often an inflated number that doesn't reflect the number of jobs actually available.

Sure, but 40 years have passed since then and 144K peanuts for any real world application.

A quick example, you have a sensor that sends a single metric every minute. Suppose that you can pack that info (sensor id, metric type and data) in 32 bytes. You're looking at about 1.2MB/month of data (8 times your 144K), which will come to about $40/month.

Quite expensive for a single data point, but I can imagine several use cases where that cost can be easily justified.

I have to disagree with your opinion on voluntary layoffs.

Here in the UK an employer has to inform the government and go through a mandatory redundancy process when laying off more than a given number of employees (I think it's 100 off the top of my head). At my last role I was put at risk of redundancy and went through the process. One of the first steps of that process was offering voluntary redundancy which had a higher redundancy package than if you received compulsory redundancy.

If someone was considering leaving, or was close to retirement leaving voluntarily gave them the opportunity to leave early and with a nice payout. Or if you had skills high in demand it gave you the opportunity to get a lump sum and walk into a new job.

This significantly reduced the need for the company to make compulsory redundancies.
The reason they aren't 'firing' or 'terminating' anyone is that they are seeking to avoid the appearance (rightly or wrongly) that the people being impacted are at fault. The company is changing direction and that new direction needs fewer people - one should not imagine that those who were impacted were bad at what they were doing (or even that they would be bad at working on the new direction). Instead, we are meant to understand that they made their best effort at how many people they needed and who at the company would best fill those slots. The fact that one person kept a job and another lost theirs has more to do with local realities as Stripe, a particular company, than the marketability or skills of the people impacted.
this is actually really great for applications like tracking, remote instrumentation, and other services that have a small amount of relatively important data in hard-to-service or critical applications which is not that wildly specific.
TS namespaces are a really interesting relic of Typescript pre-1.0 in the bad old "jQuery era" before ECMAScript Modules and even before Node CommonJS modules were that dominant and the two most common "module" formats in the browser were "no module at all" and less beloved AMD [RIP]. Typescript namespaces were based on one of the IIFE approaches to "no module at all" smashing a sometimes large codebase into a single global variable, jQuery style.

Most Typescript projects today wouldn't use TS namespaces if you paid them too. It's a backwards "module format" that the modern web and modern Node (and Deno) is trying to leave behind. Several issues and PRs have been filed on Typescript to drop namespaces as a first-class syntax altogether because it unnecessarily confuses newcomers and shouldn't be used in new code in 2022, but there are some major pre-1.0 Typescript projects that still need them for legacy reasons. Typescript itself bootstrapped itself with itself and was one of those large projects with such a legacy dependency, hah. (From the PR you can see precisely how much tech debt that this has left in Typescript's own codebase!)

So, long story short: esbuild doing a bunch of work to support jQuery-era IIFE patterns is maybe not the best use of esbuild developers' time in 2022.

Well this is their response to the CO law:

>For candidates or potential candidates based in Colorado, please reach out to colorado-wages@stripe.com to request compensation and benefits information regarding particular roles. Please include the city in Colorado where you reside and the titles of the applicable roles and/or links to the roles along with your request.

which seems to be a violation of the CO law[0]:

>Effective January 1, 2021, Part 2 of the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, C.R.S. § 8-5-101 et seq., requires employers to include compensation in job postings

So I doubt they care either way. I'm guessing they'll pursue a similar strategy if challenged.

> You wouldn't want capitalism in your house, but it's the best thing at scale.

Interestingly, I think it's the best thing at low to mid-scale. Once it reaches our current scale, the externalities of profit-driven production cross various thresholds that plunge us into existential crises.

At-scale, we need some form of production that much more closely measures potential for externalities and allows assigning direct costs to these. Prices are incapable of doing this directly, and the promise of the liberal state to reign in externalities is more and more clearly an empty promise.

I dont 'believe'. We have their declassified records. We know what they did, what they decided to do. We know that they withheld information or the truth. But we know that they did not lie or misrepresent because they decided the risk of getting caught was too high. This is not a matter of belief, its what they decided.

'They lied' is the cold war propaganda of their enemy. Whose entire propaganda has been based on lies for over 60 years. And amazingly, the village liar is calling everyone else liars and the villagers just BELIEVE it.

No, you can see tons of Reddit posts about people not being able to speak to anyone at NJ unemployment. You can try calling at anytime of day and the machine will say (after 130 seconds of automated prompts) that all agents are too busy and to call back the next business day.

In the event you do get through, you reach a line level agent, and they say a supervisor has to look at the case, and to wait 6 to 8 weeks before calling back. That’s it, nothing else.

I assume many people just give up.

Sure. But the press will report the absolute numbers when and in whatever way it benefits each publication's political wing. This is done under terms like "unemployment rate" which every reasonable person takes to mean that it includes _all_ unemployed people. So sure, the government bureaucracy is correctly doing its bureaucratic job but politicians, press, and pundits abuse the complicated data by presenting it in deceptively vague terms.

Aside from GPUs, I'm not sure how you would increase the cost density much. Those NICs doing hundreds of Gbps and TLS aren't cheap, nor are the fast SSDs needed to sustain the load, nor is RAM or top end AMD server CPUs. Of course, the cost is absolutely worth it to Netflix!
> For booting the computers, I either boot them from Ethernet or I boot them from a small USB memory that uses a FAT file system for storing the OS kernel, either in the format required by UEFI booting, or, when booting Linux in legacy BIOS mode, together with syslinux, which loads the kernel.

That certainly works, but I'm pretty sure that moving booting off of your main disk is the only reason you can go without partitions, and I'm also pretty sure that most people don't want to deal with that.

You definitely hit the nail on the head.

If someone points out a specific action I did that can/should be improved upon (and especially if they can tell me why it was "bad" in the first place), I'm far more likely to accept that, attempt to learn from it, and move on. As in real life, I might still be heated in the moment, but I'll usually remember that when similar cues strike again.

But if moderation hints at something being wrong with my identity or just me fundamentally, then that points to something that _can't be changed_. If that's the case, I _know they are wrong_ and simply won't respect that they know how to moderate anything at all, because their judgment is objectively incorrect.

Practically at work, this has actually been a good policy you described when I think about bugs and code reviews.

> "@ar_lan broke `main` with this CLN. Reverting."

is a pretty sure-fire way to make me defend my change and believe you are wrong. My inclination, for better or worse, will be to dispute the accusation directly and clear my name (probably some irrational fear that creating a bug will go on a list of reasons to fire me).

But when I'm approached with:

> "Hey, @ar_lan. It looks like pipeline X failed this test after this CLN. We've automatically reverted the commit. Could you please take a second look and re-submit with a verification of the test passing?"

I'm almost never defensive about it, and I almost always go right ahead to reproducing the failure and working on the fix.

The first message conveys to me that I (personally) am the reason `main` is broken. The second conveys that it was my CLN that was problematic, but fixable.

Both messages are taken directly from my companies Slack (ommitting some minor details, of course), for reference.
It's worth noting that the people using these setups as actual living quarters are few and far between. Generally people who use them for something other than instagram fodder have a larger RV or tow-behind setup because they want something livable, or they have a cheap DIY setup because they want something cheap.

The OP is about a separate boot partition, which is normally where the kernel and associated data (on Linux, an initramfs, obviously Windows would differ a bit).

The "Reserved" partition on Windows machines isn't really a boot partition, for any meaningful definition of it. It's just … reserved, and MS being MS. On my machine, it's empty (unformatted, all 0s). It is lightly documented here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufactu...
