I think hugboxes sound nice. It took me a moment to realise it was meant pejoratively. I guess the most famous "hugbox" in that sense, is Truth Social.

In any case, instances full of trolls, spammers and nazis also tend to get blocked by others who prefer to communicate normally. Blocking serves a useful function. If FAANG servers show up, I'm sure some would block them out of principle. Others once they start breaking the protocol.
My favorite take on this is actually from Hyperion, and the discussion(s) about what happens to the various planets once the Hegemony releases its citizens onto them via the WorldWeb.

I read that as a teen, and it was the first time that my eyes opened up to the absolute homogenization places undergo when they try to appeal to "tourists" (or, as is talked about in the book, when they are forced to appeal to tourists just because of the massive, overwhelming numbers of them).
I'm really struggling at the moment. Ended a long relationship, went into a higher paying job, and realized how expensive it is to live on your own. My salery is about average in my country (not much, like 10%-ish), and I'm paying off debts. These debts are what's killing me at the moment. Roughly 20% of my net income go into paying them off.

Avoid debts as the devil avoids the church. Just don't.

To me, this is an interesting discussion. I can't see a single argument for Java anymore except "devs knows it".
Well, Japan had plenty, including devices that integrate NFC for payment (before smartphones globally routinely have it) and built-in digital television receiver (while a lot of phones in Asia have analogue TV receivers, Japan's are usually digital in part because their digital TV format (1seg, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1seg) have been developed with this in mind).
I'd say it is the opposite. C# is a better language but the open source ecosystem is crippled because too many .NET developers believe "Microsoft, wrong or right"

I'd grant that Gradle is problematic but Maven is better than either pip or npm in most respects.

Unlike pip, Maven has a correct algorithm for resolving dependencies and the language is not full of footguns like

pip --user

thanks to Java's xenophobia Java users don't have a sense of entitlement that they can just type

python

and have an environment that works. Virtualenv(s) work great in python if you never do

pip --user

but some people will do it no matter what.
I wonder if this can bypass the "Lockdown" mode. I always recommended people switch the phone fully off in lieu of using Lockdown.
I like the concrete numbers in this deck. Over 20 million nitros installed, over 12GW power capacity. Gives us a chance to compare scale with the other bigs.

"here exists a lower limit under which certain parts of life are simply not affordable"

You do realize that like half the world lives in under a dollar a day right?
It is expensive to live in the west, and technically you are right, but people even manage to have an apartment, etc, etc, etc, in NY city and live on $100 a month.

People spend money mostly to signal to others their wealth, and secondly to save the brain power it would take to find free alternatives. 35k is just so far below your income it is the furthest you can image or have acquaintances at that level. But if you make that, you would have some other arbitrary number where it was not affordable to live under.

You are talking about modern US copyright law.

Echoing what others have written. The median programmer is a not a "competent programmer". The median programmer is pretty bad.

EDIT: Or to be precise, "competence" depends on how you measure it. The "median programmer" is certainly competent at many tasks.

But there are plenty of programming/engineering challenges that the median programmer is completely unqualified to perform.

That's not quite how CT works. The client doesn't (currently) need to have any access to the CT logs themselves.

Generally, a 'pre' certificate is submitted to a number of logs by the CA. The log returns a signed timestamp. These SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) are embedded in the final certificate provided to the subscriber - and the browser can verify those.
(The SCTs can also be stapled, and not signed into the certificate itself).

> The right way to interpret this number is that high prices have plateaued a bit.

This part is true.

> that means your groceries are going to be x% higher than in 2020

But this part jumps right back into the much bigger fallacy that inflation represents a change in value and not price! Sure, groceries are higher in price, just like your assets are higher in value (on average) and your wages are higher (on average).

But in any case, your notion that inflation isn't instantaneously halted is a little spun. In fact month-to-month CPI change for October is 0.4%, which corresponds to about 4.9% per year. That's higher than we've seen for most of the last decade, but not a number most people would consider "high" in the sense of "disruptive to economic activity".
> what do you do if you need to gove birth? There will be bodies.

Every time I've seen medical strikes, workers organize emergency crews who stay behind to avoid exactly that. People choose medical professions to help others, and especially nurses typically do so despite the working conditions.
Yes, minimizing number of command and specificity as much as possible for navigation by understanding the context of where the user is optimizes the user's time in navigation.

Imagine even more precise commands 'next function' followed by a letter. That allows you to navigate to only a function with that letter defined. Really the possibilities are endless when we have complete context of the screen and the structure of the code.

Someday I hope for the release of something like stable diffusion for voice coding. An open complete pipeline that users can illiterate fast and innovate!

I don't believe we can afford to remain this stupid, however much money the inefficiencies are making for those at the top.
IMO it depends on company size. If we’re talking startup startup then it’s beneficial. Once you’re big enough that you don’t need engineers to switch between different contexts/services so much it isn’t as important.
The original was about cars, not pickups. For pickups the standard was magazines started pulling the max weight trailers up pikes peak (a long steep grade) on a hot day with the AC on (I was going to write at the speed limit, but I suspect they are going faster than legal speed just like everyone else). Without those large grills there isn't enough cooling and the engine will overheat forcing you to slow down. Older trucks could handle this grade and drivers just slowed down a bit - which is the safer thing to do anyway. (either that or you should have a semi-truck - including the additional training required to drive one)
What always surprises me why does anyone feel the need to steal from users when you are literally "the house" - you are taking a fee on every transaction. Just like in poker - if you are the house, you don't need to take risk by playing at the tables.

FTX was probably hugely profitable before they started stealing.
great article! I'm looking forward to 'ethics of armrest' to understand the dynamics at play for the one that is shared with your neighbor.
Depends on your time horizon.

In the very short term, inflation linked bonds as other comments mention.

In the 15+ year bracket, probably equities.

Perhaps real estate at a low mortgage rate but it's not very diversified.

Gold is commonly touted as an inflation hedge, but that's over a much longer time horizon, probably longer than most people are alive.

In the end it really depends on the cause of inflation - expected vs unexpected, supply vs demand side.

Anecdotally it is much, much, much easier to get a $400k tech job in the US than a $300k tech job in the UK, so this isn't really a fair comparison

You need a budget at any income level. Saving more early means early retirement because compound interests stack well over years and years.

Or can save some hardness as you reach 55plus, when getting employed becomes harder but state welfare is still 10 years down the line.

An habit to budgeting helps because people aren't always top dogs.
The mod’s response seems fairly reasonable (from an outsider’s perspective). Has the author considered trying r/programming, HN, or Lobste.rs?

I dunno, Java 17 is like "ML, the good parts" Particularly in JDK 19 with the preview flags, it is a blast using pattern matching and other new features to write compilers and similar things. It's not like Scala which compiles line noise just fine.

This is the underlooked factor. It's why movie posters all looked the same for a while, a guy standing in front of a large expanse, often with his back facing you. When faced with ambiguity, it's just easier to copy everyone else rather than take a risk.
I do think there will be big advancements in the text-to-speech realm. I've noticed some ML projects imitating voices surprisingly well and while it's not quite there yet - it's already a bit less grating than it was even a few years ago.

Humans are also trained only on things produced by humans. The only exception is nature, but ML model can be trained on photos of nature, too. Also, you are missing the point.

1. I employed quite a few artists over the past 15 years.

While this is an entirely plausible (even likely) idea, I don't think it would play out that way. Fediverse is literally built of, by, and for people who hate this kind of corporate bullshit. In this scenario, Google will be defederated from the rest of the network, along with all their users.

Just this week, some random person decided to start indexing every post on the mastodon network. The backlash to this was incredible. A lot of servers blocked this instance, and the guy got banned within hours of announcing his indexer.

I think the core culture of the fediverse is sufficiently anti-corporation that it will be extremely difficult for someone like Google to corrupt it.

Ah, yep. I wonder how sophisticated (or not) a typical police department is with these kinds of procedures.
It depends on the appliance, and yeah, the cheaper ones are often NOT worth fixing if a major component breaks, but ARE worth fixing if it is a minor component/known issue. Youtube is great for this - search "model number" "problem" and if there's a video on how to fix it, it's common enough that the part is probably cheap (think ignitor for a dryer/oven, etc).

Friend had an older washer with a giant "timer dial" that was cheap to fix - the new dial cost like $50 and was simple to replace. A similar washer that I had had a single plastic part that held the dial in place break, and the only way to fix it was either bolt some metal strapping around it (which I did) or buy a new faceplate at $350 (+ shipping) - that's half the cost of a SpeedQueen (which I eventually bought when the pump crapped out. The SpeedQueens don't change year to year and they're basically laundromat machines so they're very repairable.

If you do decide to replace an appliance, there are people that will take away the old one for free, because they will repair and resell if possible.

In Java you can write correct multithreaded code that is highly scalable if you use the basic primitives and avoid snake oil like parallel streams, fork/join, etc. People wish you could write reliable and scalable parallel code with a small set of primitives but it just isn't true.
I've seen other examples where thinking outside the C++ box is taboo. There was a talk at one of the conferences where the speaker was obviously referring to some of the enhancements introduced by Qt while taking care to never actually mention it by name.
I think of it like the accelerator pedal on a car. A decline in inflation means the foot has eased up on the accelerator some, but the car is definitely still moving forward.
The anger is cultural. For some examples, look a sporting team logos - from school-age teams all the way to professional. Half look like they are about to bite your head off and the rest look constipated.

I think a significant part of road rage is due to conflicting metaphors. Children are taught to "wait in line" and "take your turn". The lanes on roadways emphasize the "wait in line" - but there is no line. So when people pull in front of you, they're violating a deep-seated upset-ness that they are cutting in front of you. But there is no line - so it is impossible for them to "get to the back of the line". I could write a very long essay on these conflicting metaphors and how our tricksy monkey-brain and lizard-brain are perceiving and sending conflicting messages.

Additionally, the semi-anonymous nature of driving has the same lack of feedback that posting on the internet gives. You will say and do things that you would never say/do to another human in front of you.

Add to that an appalling lack of driver education/training in the US and the question should rather be "why is there so little road rage?"

Finally, the public policy has been to make things so spread out that car ownership is mandatory. Zoning requires f(X) number of parking places if your business location can handle X number of customers. This is why all businesses (both retail and office) look like a box in the middle of a parking lot.
High dividend stocks have been a good bet and hedge in previous downturns. Individual stocks will have high variance, but a basket of high dividend stocks would be worth looking into.

The point of many of the banking regulations, is that it's easy to make mistakes, even for the most honest brokers, when handling other people's money. "Crypto prophets" have praised freedom from onerous regulation as a benefit; but that position misses that some regulations are more beneficial than not.

Or it could all be rich arseholes fleecing the gullible tech bros by dealing in "crypto" labeled ponzi schemes that never had much to do with the distributed, unregulated exchange structures the prophets preached about.

> If milk is $4/gallon today and still $4/gallon 12 mos. from now, that's 0% YoY inflation.

Conversely, if there was a one-time jump in a particular item, it will take a year before it gets 'removed' from the inflation numbers.

Extremely contrived example: if gas/petrol was $1/L in December 2021 (and generally in all of 2021), but $1.20/L in January 2022, then there will be a 20% YoY jump in inflation for the January number comparing Jan 2021 to Jan 2022.

Now if gas stays at $1.20/L in February 2022, it will still register as 20% YoY even though the price has not changed month-to-month. That 20% (YoY) is "stuck" in the system until January 2023 when we're comparing $1.20/L to $1.20/L.

A one-time jump can 'skew' the numbers if all you look at is YoY metrics.
I'd imagine it's more likely due to energy prices associated with the chicken houses, and the virus (bird flu I think) they've been dealing with.
Several commenters have provided various reasons year-over-year numbers are, to put it mildly, difficult to interpret.

Another reason is that a major war in Europe started within this year, adding to the difficulty of Y0Y comparisons. The principal weapon deployed against the aggressor is economic warfare to collapse Russia's economy. That has only recently made an impact that can't be denied in Russia.

Meanwhile, the war has directly cut food exports from Ukraine and both directly and indirectly disrupted food and fossil fuel markets in many regions, mostly toward higher costs and trade substitutions that also mostly lead to higher costs.

Interest rate rises are probably needed but the causes of inflation are mostly outside central bankers' control.
Simple rules don't work with something as complex as the entire economy.

Seeing as every single central bank has similar monetary policy to the US, and almost all governments in Europe and elsewhere injected huge amounts of cheap/free cash into their economies in attempts to counter the economic effects of lockdowns/Covid, it's anything but a coincidence. It's a confirmation that such policies do in fact cause inflation.
As a grad student, it seems like a pipe-dream. I've come to acknowledge that maybe I'm not the multitasker I thought I was but sadly, with tens of deadlines to juggle around, no respite for me.
True, but you can never really satisfy the type of family member who has "ideas" - even if you got a BMW it'd be the wrong type, etc etc.
Then buy generic. This is one way to fight inflation. Coke will get the message very quickly if their sales start coming down.
