No mention of adverbs? One of the coolest features of the language IMO:

https://code.kx.com/q/ref/iterators/

> Republic of operators With a rich set of primitives you don’t want to memorise another operator precedence hierarchy. So q doesn’t have one.

This creates an impedance mismatch with the conventional math notation, and may lead to some stupid errors, but I can live with it.

> Prefix notation clarifies the common case where the result of one function is the argument of the next. Instead of writing sum[cos[2+first[list]]] write sum cos 2+first list.

It's a mix of prefix and infix (not counting qSQL which is eDSL).

Composing expressions backwards in the REPL is a little bit annoying at first.

Personally, I prefer postfix and think that it's the most natural for left-to-right input methods.
A find like this will not leave you back to zero - you'll run conferences on the find alone for decades, and then there is all the work to examine and exhibit the findings.

I used to enjoy it. We make a platform and toolings for game devs and publishers. Back then when it was small everyone is thoughtful toward everyone else.

Then there's the hypergrowth phase. It's good for the money. But the culture downgrades for both the communication, the engineering, the product. People complain a lot but don't slightly ever make a plan to fix things.

It is tiring to be one of the few who still care.
Sorry not sorry. I felt that it was just too funny to not make this joke.

What is yepost?
The argument being repeated here on HN wasn't that recession might happen in the future (which would be a true statement); the argument was that we've been in a recession since summer, but due to government propaganda and a media conspiracy, it was swept under the rug (which was false).
We had that recent-ish case in the New York courts that uncovered that USDT is mostly not backed by fiat currency, and that they had been lying about this since at least 2017.
There is no possible way to make an inflation number that works for one person, let alone a whole country.

The best you can do is have a statistic that you stay with and compare.
Inflation here means a very specific thing. You can check which prices they are looking at. How could it be a lie?
It's a bit higher in Denmark and I have a little too much stored as fiat in the bank. What is a safe asset to store value while inflation is >10% in a developed country?
You only believe in gas prices at the pump? In that case, your inflation rate has been zero over the past 14 years.

>but of course they have a supply of their own token

I don't get what's the point of holding your own stable coin except to potentially double the money they have?

Lets say they have $100M in cash(from wherever). Now they print 100M BUSD with the earlier $100M backing it up. Now they have $200M that they can borrow against?
This is more than most people have in my experience, if this is all the budgeting prowess you can muster then you are potentially ahead of the pack already.
It has had multiple remote, zero click remote code execution exploits so it's actually worse?
The suggestion that other countries don't do this seems weird. Are paramedics in other countries trained and equipped to cut open wrecked and burning cars? Many sorts of accidents will require both firefighters and paramedics, so you may as well encourage firefighters to be trained paramedics as well (not all American firefighters are, but many of them are.)
Do you get billed by the fire brigade if they have to put out a fire at your house?
That seems an awful lot to me like the "medical guild" is preventing enough people from being able to enter this profession to meet demand, which otherwise would be met at prevailing wage. I never once thought of nursing school spots as competitive when I was a student, you needed good grades but class ranking wouldn't come into it.

I'm aware I'm not an expert here, and I'd love to understand what the actual barrier to training more nurses is.
The kids today don't know that their futurology is actually history.
RANT: This inflation and coming recession is entirely on the hands of the current leadership in the Fed and Treasury. Their super-low interest rates over the years are coming full circle. We live in a centrally planned economy. My advice to the Fed is to set the Fed Funds Rate to equal inflation! This will stop the wild swings in the economy and keep inflation in check. When the Fed Funds Rate is lower than inflation there is an arbitrage opportunity for anyone who has access to this money to invest it broadly into the economy and get a positive return. I actually think this is a huge source of income inequality because only the most wealthy have access to this arbitrage opportunity, but that is another rant.
I worked as a petroleum engineer running reservoir simulations. While not a "developer" per se, I had to run FORTRAN binaries on a Linux cluster, know shell scripting, run servers, git for code tracking, writing reports in LaTeX, Linux desktop and dependency hell, list goes on. I did this in industry and research (corporate projects, Department of Energy) both as a consultant and full time employee for 9 years counting Internships.

How I got my job: I was an average student in college and can't interview. I've actually never gotten a job I've applied for, but I digress.

I emailed everyone in my home state for a job because I thought I wanted to live there when I was through with school. I lived in a small oil producing state, not a Texas. Long story short, I ended up emailing the lobbyist for the local coal council asking if he knew anyone in the o&g industry in my state and that I was a young college kid looking for an internship. He hooked me up with a local company and I got an internship, and ended up doing simulation and chemical research that universities love. Went back to college and networked with some professors and research groups there and got on a Department of Energy grant. Built skills / reputation and then went off solo consulting.

All this is to say while I enjoyed "the process" of messing around with computers, figuring things out, and going to engineering school, I don't enjoy it anymore. I hate the office life and looking at a screen all day, and politics and meetings. It's just not for me. I found out I really like turning wrenches and seeing physical things being built. I like "blue collar" work more.

I think I put up with it for as long as I did because I was chasing money. I wanted to save money, but it was also a measuring stick for "let's see how much I can charge and justify my ability."

Not sure if any of this helps or not.
But it does argue to permit the current tighter fiscal and monetary position to work as it appears to be doing, perhaps too well/quickly, rather than tightening more out of a dangerous over-abundance of caution.
That will certainly raise corporate morale.
GP said quitting, which is obviously not unethical (given some notice and not quitting at a time designed to cause maximum injury), even if people do die as a consequence.
I have seen products in the stores I use that have gone down again. Many stores and producers definitely used this inflation to hike their prices way up. How many industries are reporting record revenue underscores this further.

Putting nurses in situations where they feel like quitting a crappy job means people will die is even more unethical. Don't blame the nurse who's put in the trolley problem, blame the guy who's tied a bunch of people to the trolley tracks.
Inflation and inflation for staple items are obviously not the same thing and thus obviously do not yield the same numbers.

People and businesses buy much more than staple items and so the typical basket of goods and services used to calculate the official inflation number includes many more things.

> for John Carmack who’s the progenitor of a shockingly large percentage of all 3D game engines, starting with Doom.

First of all, Wolfenstein 3D, which used Carmack's engine, predated Doom by a year, but even Wolf3D wasn't the first 3D game or 3D engine. Activision's 1991 Hunter and Mindscapes's 1988 Colony both had very similar graphics and play as Wolf3D. 3D gaming and FPS goes back at least to Atari's 1980 BattleZone, but most place FPS origin with Maze in 1973.[1]

Second of all, by my count, Carmack developed (or also worked on) six distinct 3D game engines. There are an awful lot of 3D game engines now, well over 100 listed here.[3] I think by "shockingly large percentage," you must have instead meant, "small percentage." Maybe Carmack holds the world record for most 3D engines developed by one individual, but it could never be a "shockingly large percentage of all 3D game engines," even with id's OSS releases and subsequent variants.

Not only does this mirror Ye's antisemitism, it's also inaccurate. The NY times is controlled by his family for generations. Essentially, it's a family business.

And it's pretty common for control of family businesses to be inherited. Second, with only 1 Jewish grandparent, even the link to Judaism is rather thin, unless you use the definition of Jew that was used in Germany in the 30s and early 40s.

Twitter gives people the means to express the attitude they already have. "Influencer Culture" didn't start or end on Twitter.

I've been on Mastadon for about a year now, on a small instance that's not accepting new users, and my experience has been great and hasn't changed. If you want to be inclusive and accepting of new users that's great, but that also means accepting their ideas and who they are.
I am glad you found meaning in science and facts! Maybe I didn't read the right scientists.

I couldn't get past what Plato would call 'shadows on a cave wall' when it comes to finding 'truth' but once again, I am probably not reading the right people or the 'right works'. If you have anything you'd recommend I'd love to read it.
This is especially good since it was a year ago we started to notice inflation rising rapidly. If this print was higher than expected it would have indicated something really bad. With this print we could be on the path to healthier inflation in the coming year.

The US has it easy, since the inflation was largely caused by lockdown stimulus, and also benefits from being the global reserve currency so it can leverage cheap imports as the interest rate rises increase the value of USD.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's better in a few months, especially with the growing protectionism in the anti-inflation act, etc. and acts against Chinese competition, etc. keeping more industry in the US.

I'm not sure I understand the way your post relates to mine. Are you genuinely asking why BBC needs Twitter and Instagram? The last sentence makes it sound like you have your own hypothesis but you're withholding it. In any case, I disclaim any notion that "need" is a relevant verb here. They want to be on these platforms, and their readers want to be on these platforms, and there's no doubt some interrelation between their desire and their readers' desire. I don't think any organisation is ever fully rational, even an organisation the size of the BBC. On the other hand, I think the journalists themselves provide a lot of pressure for themselves to be on these platforms. Ultimately they're where it seems to make sense to be. It would harder to not be where the eyeballs are, than it is to be there. It's like the old saying - no one was ever fired for choosing IBM.
Yeah....and the inflation we're seeing elsewhere in the world is just a coincidence.

I think it’s pretty unique to the US. In most places you have a police service, a fire service, and an ambulance service, all separate but working together. Makes sense they’re separate - different roles to specialise in and they move between different locations and leave the scene at different times.
Great summary! And yet, for all their problems, CROs are sometimes still the fastest alternative. We did a clinical trial for a software platform a few years ago, and hoped to partner with a prestigious hospital system to run the trial.

The hospital partner was 100% on board—our protocol just had to pass their internal review board (IRB). IRB is a black box, and they could only give us a vague estimate of how long this would take. We had a huge team, and every week we sat around waiting cost about $200k.

Finally the client couldn't take the uncertainty and burn rate anymore, and they reached out to a CRO they had used in the past. The CRO's IRB had a fixed timeline (2 weeks?), and we were onboarding patients a short time later.
It might be better now, but these posts from a few years ago painted a very different picture:

They were doing very level-headed reviews of the language at that time, found that the claims were mostly unsubstantiated, and then got blocked by the V team.

That did not inspire confidence at all, as you might imagine. I can completely understand OP when they are saying "V promised a lot of stuff as ready but has undelivered most of them and people lost trust." -- that was my view too.

Again, it might be better now. The V team might have delivered in the meantime. But I can definitely see where OP is coming from.
>It doesn't help anything.

My advice is for those at 25 years old working in a fast food place who can read and write English. Their time excessively pruning their budget is better spent learning new skills and attempting to sell their services in a market that pays more.

>If you make $35k, it is still possible. It might not be comfortable, and that seems to be the great success of capitalism in the 21st century: convincing people that they shouldn't ever be uncomfortable, or that they can't be without certain items or experiences that they most certainly can be.

I do not know what this means. It is possible to live in the forest and forage and be comfortable, everyone was a few tens of thousands of years ago. But surely things like a safe neighborhood, healthcare for you and family, and opportunity for education are basic things that people can be expected to strive for, and that are not really achievable under a certain income in pretty much all populated regions of the US at $35k per year.

E-bike is the most life changing purchase I’ve made in the last few years. Besides all the financial and health benefits, the biggest benefit is all the fun. Even a boring errand run becomes a nostalgia-filled, wind-in-your-hair joyride. Plus you can park right out front of wherever you’re going.

And the firefighters either got paid by the local government, or they are a charity and work as volunteers.

But my point is that if hospitals help firefighters treat patients without charging the firefighters, then why should the firefighters charge the hospital to help the hospital treat patients? That's not reciprocal.
> Many sorts of accidents will require both firefighters and paramedics

Yeah so both attend. Makes sense they're separate vehicles as the ambulance would ideally leave while the fire brigade are still sorting out the scene. And normally the police as well, for a road accident. If you can understand the police being separate you can understand the fire and ambulance being separate.
I feel like a .2 percentage point drop is near imperceptible and something easily subject to reversal. I don’t think we’re anywhere near an actual slowdown to inflation yet.
There's a big difference between "grocery store is clean and nice" and "grocery store is setup in a cruel imitation of Ikea designed to force you to wander past every single endcap in an attempt to milk you for maximum dollars".
I think it can be useful even if you're able to save / invest "easily".

I'm in that situation. I'm fairly thrifty and don't spend much. But after looking back over my spending, I've realized there was enough useless crap that I could cut out. For example, I realized I was spending an enormous (to me) amount on lunches at work, though it was nothing fancy. It's just that I was working in a rather touristy / "rich" part of town, so aside from a pastry, everything was above €10. I started packing my own lunch most of the time and the cost went waay down for no discernible loss.

Bonus points for eating less and losing some weight, but that's a different story.
Thether is not Dollar. Nobody is obliged to give you Dollars for Thether. Until you make the deal.

Banks are not obliged to exhange currencies for you either, by the way. Many do, at a rate favorable to them.
One thought is to have a hospital co-op. I am half joking and have no clue how viable it would be.

The most expensive part would be getting equipment but I am sure you could bait away people with the promise of ethical & responsible healthcare while being paid a fair salary. Something between a local charity clinic and a highly trauma-rated hospital.

For instance, I use a local walk-in clinic like a primary care doctor but they occasionally tell you to go to the hospital. You can basically fit in between a walk-in clinic and a trauma rated hospital.
The wildest success of capitalism for me has been the continual smartphone treadmill. It almost seems like the less someone makes the more they feel compelled to spend money on smartphones, I guess it's likely symbolic of status these days. I live pretty comfortably, and I don't feel like I could afford a $1500 smartphone, and yet almost everyone I meet no matter their income seems to have a better phone than me.
The housing market is cooling somewhat, but 25% is still pretty hard to hit today unless you're a high earner in a low COL area. I'm at 26% take home doing WFH in rural New Hampshire. Likely not practical if you live anywhere more urban than that. Rent or mortgage up to 50-60% is more common today.
