There are ways to support immigration without ceding one's country to foreigners. I am not suggesting they import 50 million people overnight. Japan has very little interest in allowing even modest amount of immigration.

And Immigration won't fix all their population issues either. It is just one of the ways to handle the population crisis.
You would not do it by pixels, it's pure math. I'd have to sit down and work through the actual math, but between convolution and affine transformations, I'm pretty sure there should be a way to compute the intersection with a formula for each piece type.

Knight is the easiest, that's just checking (lol) the distance to see if 5-r/2 <= d < 5+r/2.
Pretty damn often in, say, UK, Canadian, Australian popular culture.

It's not something that gets banged on about on a daily basis, but it gets a few mentions on Kath and Kim and comes up across the board (in pop culture drama shows) about as often as, say, young boys masterbating into their socks, etc.

In high school health and reproduction type classes it rates a few mentions.

Where do you live that most people are unaware of universal reproductive truths?
Promotions seldom relate with OKRs on tech ladders, and more specifically for SWEs it is rarely the case, as the promotions are judged by committees who evaluate for difficulty and skill by ladder standards, not business objectives.

Launches are catalysts but insufficient for promotion.
What you're talking about is more like lint checking than debugging. I thought you meant debugging a running application.
The problem is memory issues are extremely toxic. They hold the ability to completely derail the program and do just about anything.

Correct. It doesn't have to be a bank or central bank: lot's of other entities create money through lending -- Insurance companies, pawn shops, hedge funds all do it. This it's what's known commonly referred to as shadow banking (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_banking_system)
Yes, and we have 100x the DRAM capacity, 1000x CPU Performance if we include MultiCore, and 10,000x faster IOPS on SSD. We could have gone back to the old ways of doing things and it would ( or should ) actually be more scalable.

This is a measurement error: the idea behind Rust is to make the ratio between logic and memory errors infinite, by eliminating memory errors as a bug class (to a vanishing degree, anyways).

Besides, logic errors in Rust don't cause memory errors as knock-on effects. Most of my logic errors in C and C++ codebases ultimately manifested as some form of unsound memory access.

I've tried. In fact, I spent a good portion of my life trying to become more extroverted and "likeable". While I found I could very accurately mimic the people who had this trait over time it became exhausting to keep up with. As I've gotten older I've learned to work with what I've got. Instead of trying to chase this idea of what I consider a "good" personality I simply tried to improve the weakpoints in my own personality.

I would recommend you do the same. Don't "transform" anything. Just sand down the rough edges of what you have and find a group of people who are okay with you as you are. You will be happier for it and far less stressed. If you're anything like me, you will become exhausted very quickly trying to be something you are, intrinsically, not.

You're just suggesting they do it slowly. Salami slicing to the same conclusion.

It is a pyramid scheme, but so is the rest of our debt fueled societies.

You seem to be doing some kind of software dev (I skimmed your comment history). Curious if you got into that despite "feeling stupid" and not challenging yourself, and the IQ test came as a surprise in spite of that, or if you only decided to get into software after being confronted with being "not stupid"?

For what it's worth, I don't actually think IQ is a canonical measure of intelligence, and the narrative people have of "being stupid" is often driven by society valuing certain kinds of intelligence more than others. But the kind of intelligence it takes to do software dev is more widely considered the "legitimate" kind of intelligence (by people who tend to view intelligence in more reductive, "black-and-white" terms).

When you (you as a figure of speech, only vetted banks can do this) borrow money from the Fed, they do not have to take it out of their own bank account. They're the only participants who are allowed to loan out an unlimited amount of money, while Bob can't lend more than he has, and also can't loan $100 more to someone else until Alice pays him back. So that's money creation in the simple videogame sense.

Banks can make loans that go more or less straight to the Fed's balance sheet without a lot of due diligence, so they have a delegated but slightly more limited money creation power (hypothetically the federal reserve can say no but that's not their policy). From then on every layer gets one additional creditor who is going to look at what's being done and who is on the hook for it being paid back, and it slowly starts working less like money creation and more like loans as most people experience them.

Loaning out money that's deposited in banks, in contrast to loaning money borrowed from the Fed, can have effects that are a lot like money creation and which influence the money supply. Nested debts contribute to the velocity of money by allowing quantities of money to be spent over and over again in quick succession. That makes money more available and has an effect similar to increasing the total supply - and that's why some people call it money creation.
I wonder if there are some stats about cultures/countries who have pushed women into the workforce and child numbers. I have the feeling these will be closely linked. Women generally don't date down and are much more likely to have a better education then men in western countries. Combine those 3 facts and I'd think you get a spiral of sinking child numbers.
Sorry, but I'm still quite skeptical; I'm going to need you to make a specific case, not just ask me to trust you because you're in the vertical farming industry.

> so can say with quite a lot of certainty that you can safely put your suspicions to rest

I took a closer look at https://www.infarm.com/vision, and it seems that the way they achieved 25x the yield per acre was by stacking multiple layers. So each layer needs its own set of LEDs. How bright is each layer of LEDs, compared to sunlight? According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_efficiency, only about 45% of sunlight is in the part of the spectrum that plants can use; so if you grow crops with purple LEDs, you could use only 45% as much energy as sunlight. But if you're getting 25x the yield-per-acre by having 3 layers, then you're using 3*45%=135% as much energy-per-acre as sunlight.

I admit I'm not an expert, and these numbers are very rough estimates. Feel free to point me to a source that gives more specific numbers for yield-per-acre of an energy-intensive crop; number of layers used; and electricity usage per layer per acre.

> We even have tech to grow various crop types to harvest stage without needing light at all.

It's physically impossible to produce food without an energy source. So if you're not using light as the energy source, then what are you using? And if you look further upstream, where is the energy ultimately coming from?

> Energy usage? Think about all that fuel those tractors you no longer need are burning to till soil, harvest crops, and do general field work on top.

According to https://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Agricultural_energy_..., the total energy use of the agricultural sector worldwide is roughly 2,000 to 3,000 terawatt-hours per year. That includes fossil fuels too, not just electricity. So the energy used to run a tractor is tiny compared to the amount of sunlight falling on the field.
I found Scattered Minds very interesting in the context of ADHD. I don’t deal with addiction, but the next one was The Realm of Hungry Ghosts. It’s a very compassionate and holistic perspective on addiction that covers far more of the manifestations of addiction than most books I’ve read. Gabor has great intuitions about how the social fabric of addiction, recovery, and prevention.

I read Hold On to Your Kids and enjoyed it, but I prefer many others in the category quite a bit more. I agree with what he says and I think it’s worthwhile information. Perhaps I just prefer another format in the context of childhood psychology. If you have young kids you might find that you enjoy it, though — it’s certainly worth taking a look.
It's not a weakness or inflexibility in the Wayland protocol. There's no way to make it work there. They had to rework the way security is done, and that's a much bigger task that touches lots of other parts of the OS. I keep saying this but you're not listening to me. Why?

Yes, if you want to use a secure system then you need to only go through secure APIs. If you cut out security in the name of making a "light" compositor then you just lose the ability to run sandboxed apps correctly, so it's crippling your desktop for no good reason. The XDG portal was built as a secure API to support Flatpak but it doesn't actually need Flatpak. The compositor is what needs to implement it so any sandbox can use it.
>redrawing a string doesn't need to go through 50 chained method calls to update application state

a) If you use memoization properly, and don't put all your state at the tree root, it doesn't.

b) In my experience, devs dramatically overestimate how useful such a hand-optimized fast path is, because in a real application, users expect the UI to always be consistent. It's not just about responding to a string change but also potentially the reason you're displaying a string in the first place.

Well, if I can speak for myself, my relationship with my pup has improved my relationship with several humans. And whatever she was engineered for, a simple and stable relationship has been something we’ve built over just shy of four years and still work on.

To the extent there’s any notion of replacing human relationships and to your sibling comment’s point, she didn’t replace parenting a human child for me. That would never have happened, I had already decided that and agreed with my previous partner about that before we adopted pup.

There is one way my relationship with pup has curtailed other human interactions: I don’t want to spend a lot of time with people who find being around pup a nuisance. People who want to enjoy her are very welcome. People who are cautious about unfamiliar dogs are also welcome and they almost always warm up to her immediately. People who want me to exist without consideration of my pup don’t get my time. I have the same expectations for the presence of humans in my life who are important to me and aren’t harming anyone.
> Q: The room has 19 chairs. We are using 10 and then bought 9 more, how many chairs do we have in the room?

This is a terrible question and i'm not surprised chatGPT is subtly telling you it can't figure it out.

"The room has 19 chairs" 19 chairs belong to the room or 19 chairs are in the room?

"We are using 10" are "we" in the room too? are we using them for sitting, or does "used" imply consumption e.g. used for firewood? is this statement about the room's chairs? is this statement about chairs at all?

"and then bought 9 more," presumably we left the room to buy the chairs, did we bring them back into the room? if we didn't leave the room to buy, i.e bought them online, have they arrived yet? it's still not clear if we are in or have ever been in the room.

> how many chairs do we have in the room?

how many chairs do _we have_? does the room's initial set of chairs belong to us? if not, do we just count the ones we bought?
If it were arbitrary, it would be random. It's not, you can build a consistent model that applies to a microbusiness as well as it applies to Tesla.

Should a farm that can feed 100 people be worth more than one that can feed 20? That's not an arbitrary distinction. How about a farm that will feed 100 people in 10 years vs one that feeds 100 now but is eroding?

Also software engineering is only 1.4x teaching.
To get anything useful out of Andy Grove, don't expect a unicorn hero. Look at the management team he put together and what they accomplished. And look further back, to Drucker, for progenitors of those ideas.

Grove's capitalism was an older model than the current neoliberalism. He, again like Drucker, saw the value of a long-lived company in its relationships with its customers, its workers, and even with the citizens where the company was located instead of only seeing value in stock evaluations and quarterly profits.

“Everyone can create money; the problem is to get it accepted”

- Hyman Minsky
The real question is: who gets to create an account with the central bank? The answer isn’t everybody, so everybody cannot create money.

If Alice owes $100 to Bobs bank, they can use that to credit a central bank account, so $100 can be created (assuming they are within reserve limits). If Alice only owes Bob, the result is zero sum because neither party can directly interact with the central bank. The result in zero sum.
The central-bank case is only zero sum when the loan is relayed and the $100 is removed from the reserve account. If the loan is never repayed, the economy just added $100 permanently.
> Logical errors outnumber memory errors at roughly 100:1

Mēh! Possibly.

But you can catch logic errors with logic tests.

Catching memory errors is a different problem.
Can they prescribe non-stimulant ADHD medications? I imagine those are less-strictly regulated.

My previous psychiatrist said he's had some luck with patients on stimulants lowering their stimulant doses and adding a non-stimulant treatment like Strattera, but his patients rarely had success stopping all stimulants and taking only Strattera. That's just one docs opinion, but having been treated for adhd for 15 years, it doesn't surprise me.

So, consider yourself lucky you don't already need stimulants to get by. Some of the newer non-stimulant options may be effective for you, and you won't have to deal with the "druggy" aspect of being on stimulants for work. Stimulants can seriously affect your life, both positively and negatively. You might be able to get things done that you never would have done before - I felt like I was finally able to compete at a normal level when I started - but you might retreat from society at the same time, be less interested in spending time with loved ones or building relationships, and then there's all the short-term side-effects like trouble sleeping or losing interest in eating.

Basically my experience has been a double-edged sword and it's bittersweet. For every way that it's benefited me, ADHD meds negatively affect me in some other way and it's hard to quantify the net balance.

Japan is doing the only thing that is sustainable in the long run. Western countries keep growing. In large part due to immigration. That is not possible to sustain over long timescales. If Japan can make their economy work this way they are much better equipped for the future then any other country.

I still have a lot to worry about in this world. I'm not set. But I have a child. It's easily the hardest thing I've ever had to do and, tonight, just before putting her to sleep (and now reading your comment), I had a similar thought. The experience of raising a child is not one you plot on the scale of how we'd rate our existing lived experiences. Life becomes so much more important in a totally orthogonal way.

I cannot stand the cynicism about child rearing nowadays. Our generation chooses to believe that our worries are unique (they aren't). They think they know what raising a child is like because they too were once children, or know others with children. They have no clue.

Again, parenting has been f*ing hard. If I could go back to my old life in a time machine, would I? Hell no.

Unless the pawn shop has an account at the Fed the result is zero sum: no money is ‘created’ because deposits balance credits. The other commenter explains it well - you need the privilege of a central bank account to create money.

Yes.

Any system like Rust will have corner cases where it is awful.

The simplest example is doubly linked lists, specifically, and any circular data structure in general.

They are hard in any language to get right, but for all its sweat and pain Rust is no help here. C++ is a better choice.
I got to tour the broadcast facility that transmits all the TV and Radio signals for Melbourne, AU. Part of their power infrastructure is a kinetic wheel - IIRC, 5 tons spinning constantly, that can put out 125kva for a few minutes - long enough for the backup generators to start up and take over. Damn impressive, and at least from a physics point of view, so simple too.

Are other companies any better? It seems like now it’s assumed that all of these companies will eventually be hacked, so if you use them you need to have systems in place to mitigate damage. And if you don’t use them them then you need to have mitigation strats anyway. Basically either way you’re screwed.
Gloppa Feedback
Hello I created Gloppa because I am a 19 year old college student and I found it hard to create startups. As a result, I am looking for feedback for Gloppa.
Why would anyone think it was a conspiracy in 2013? This was an established practice and documented all over the place a decade ago. Here's the Wikipedia page on cloud seeding from 2010 (twelve years ago):
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cloud_seeding&old...
Banks create the money supply (~97% of it). A bank "loan" is not a legally a loan at all but a new security that is created and purchased by the bank. Furthermore, the money for that purchase does not come from any other account or "fed reserves" it is literally instantiated in the account. This "credit creation" theory of the money supply is what the article is about and was empirically proven by the work of Richard Werner.

This is a very important level of understanding, and one that is obfuscated by the central banks.

Once understood, it is self-evident that banks are wholly responsible for asset bubbles. Banks, especially large banks, create loans mostly for existing asset purchases, and not for new productive investment. Of course, they do this in part because those assets work as collateral.

What happens when this behavior is aggregated in the whole system is essentially wealthy people jumping over each other to secure an amount of loans approaching infinity to acquire FINITE real estate and SEMI-FINITE stock. You can see how that ratio will repeatedly create asset price inflation which inevitably implodes along with the banks who issued the loans.

The only solution is for the regulator, in this case the central banks, to issue guidance for the banks to create credit for only new productive investments, whether that be new housing, factories, machinery, or firms, because those are not inflationary and increase the size of the GDP pie. If done, the economy would grow at a high clip with low inflation. The current system of credit creation for leveraged buyouts ad infinitum of a slow growing economic pie, has only one logical outcome....
