It would be great if the list could rank how "well" these languages compile to JavaScript along some metrics:

- How much functionality remains in JavaScript vs the most-supported platform

- How many language bugs there are in JavaScript vs the most-supported platform by running a large testsuite (e.g. all tests of all public packages)

- How large the JS "binary" is, how long it takes to load (many languages put their entire VM into the JavaScript)

- How well the language interops with HTML / DOM (can you make usable websites with it? How about static sites with embedded content as opposed to React-style webapps?)

- How well the language interops with JavaScript libraries (npm)

Because there are a lot of languages which claim to compile to JavaScript but my experience is that many are unfortunately not practical due to issues with the above.

By far the most popular JS-target language is TypeScript, in part because it integrates very seamlessly being essentially JavaScript with optional type annotations. There are other contenders which also integrate well enough to be practical and which are used in large-scale projects (Elm, Scala.js, Dart). But I know that some the languages and compiling tools listed don't work very well and have major limitations.
So from exploit to reaching the news it took almost a month. That's a large window of opportunity.
This is a flaw with many other languages. Static types save you a lot of headaches past a certain size.

This is a lot of words just to say you're a nihilist.

Further you're trying to disguise a chicken-and-egg paradox as some deep insight.

> if we can function from a state of feeling content as we live each day .. then what we do during the lifespan given to us matters little

Why do you think people desire meaning in the first place?

"Nothing matters, just be content" is a poor substitute for the things you call a futile endeavor.

I loved _why and most of the stuff he did (redhanded, hoodwinkd, camping, shoes, etc) but I never liked the poignant guide either.

Still, it was pretty influential and original.
Not necessarily. Yes, it can be hard to fight off dedicated hackers, but it shouldn’t be that easy. I know it’s easy to judge them when we’re not in their shoes, but one compromised employee shouldn’t be able to produce these results. There wasn’t even proper key management protocols in place here. I can set up a production-ready Vault (HashiCorp) cluster (with decentralized key shares) in a weekend and exercise better OPSEC than them. That’s actually disappointing.
I just tested it with clearer language... and the response is incorrect:

Question:
There are 5 dogs in a room right now. The previous day an additional dog was purchased and added to the room. How many dogs are in the room right now?

Answer:
There are 6 dogs in the room right now. The statement says that the previous day an additional dog was purchased and added to the room, so the total number of dogs in the room right now is 5 + 1 = 6.

Edit: Ok a comment below pointed out that the question is still unclear. See below for the fix and the response. It is still incorrect:

Q: There are 5 dogs in a room on 1 January 2023. The previous day an additional dog was purchased and added to the room. How many dogs are in the room on 1 January 2023?

A: There are 6 dogs in the room on 1 January 2023. The previous day, one additional dog was purchased and added to the room, which means there are 5 dogs + 1 additional dog = 6 dogs in the room on 1 January 2023.
Just make sure that you’ve checked the documentation beforehand, so that you don’t miss anything obvious again.

They don't realise this because they are almost constantly bombarded with messages from popular entertainment and media that women are having kids after 40.

In reality, each year after age 35 chances of conception halve.

A woman who wants a family needs to be settled down with their partner by then, which means that she needs to have committed to their partner by at least, say, age 32, giving three years to assess the relationship.

Since most women want the best wedding both parties can get a loan for, and such weddings are often two years out, and most couples will wait until financially okay before trying for kids, realistically that woman needs to have made her decision on who to have kids with while still in her late 20s.

Popular entertainment and media do not portray this, they instead show women bar hopping into their late 30s. Hence, most women (my wife included) who bought into the representations of things like sex and the city, friends, etc did not really consider the amount of forward planning needed.

At that point, there's a rush to acquire a partner to mate with, with most men in that age group already deciding that they aren't interested.

The dynamics of dating for males at age 40 are very interesting. Merely having a job and sterility means they get approaches much more than they approach women.
Spy software found worker wasn't working as much. Now she must repay her wages
I've never understood the complaint. Once upon a time the central bank would load up trains and armoured trucks with hard currency that they would send to the bank. The bank would then loan that out for stuff (houses, cars, whatever).

The banks realised pretty early on that they could loan out more than they had in physical cash because people didn't need the currency they needed the bank cheque.

At the end of the day the banks would reconcile with one another and the central banks.

Now, because there's even less need for hard currency in our economies, the central banks can (effectively) email to banks how much that they can have to use for loans.

Accounting rules limit the banks on how much they can loan out.

Nothing has changed from when the hard currency was shipped around countries, except that it's done with a telephone.
If Bob had 100 dollars, he can go about loaning 110$ to other people, making a bet that all of the other persons aren't going to turn up at the same instant and ask for withdrawals. Then 10$ has been created by Bob without central bank involvement.
@ultrarunner posted the reference language above.

You make a great point, but it seems like the drafting accomplishes your proposal and they want some attire norms (guys on ties.) It reads more restrictive on men.

I suppose you could also argue that guys should be allowed to wear dresses, but it seems reasonable to bet against that being challenged.
Since you haven't used the account, did you really lose anything? I think AWS closed the account because it was empty and they thought it was junk. I would just create a new one.
Wow that is the most un-googleable project name.
When a bank creates a loan, it also creates a deposit. Say they make a loan to Bob:

Loan -- an asset on the Bank's balance sheet. It's a promise that Bob will repay the bank a certain amount of money, plus interest

Deposit -- a liability on the Bank's balance sheet. It's an account that Bob can draw from at any time, and the Bank will promise to honor or pay the deposit.

These are created at the same time, and balance one another. The bank does not need the Fed to create the deposit at all, the create it out of thin air when issuing the loan.

When Bob comes to withdraw from his account, the Bank will pay him from it's *reserves*. The banks reserves are a pool of assets, cash, and deposits from other customers that the bank holds in excess of it's loans.

The bank can get these from a lot of places, not necessarily the Fed -- they could offer checking accounts to other customers, and hold some fraction of the assets in a customer's checking account in reserve. Banks offer all sorts of incentives to get people to deposit long term(CD, Savings Accounts, e.g.) for this reason, but they almost never have 100% of the money they are loaning out held in reserves. Their entire bet is that only a fraction of the deposits will be withdrawn at any time.

The Fed doesn't need to be present for any of this, but they provide an important stabilizing function, ensure liquidity, and can adjust the money supply through open market operations or banking regulations.
I haven't overcome it, but I got better.

Blocking distracting page elements like I block ads (uBlock Origin), and occasionally blocking websites altogether (SelfControl.app) when needed makes a big difference.

Leaving the cellphone out of the bedroom was another important improvement.

I also added rules to remove pagination buttons from reddit and HN.

At some point you hit diminishing returns because you still seek out these websites. The hard part is closing the computer when you are done computing, and tackling boredom with other means. I have no solution for this, except working in one hour increments with timers.
I'm no one to judge either, and that is why I keep having these kinds of conversations.

One one level, I wish that folks would quit manifesting my ipad charger as a heaven sent gift for their iphones when I am just trying to run sound from that under-charged ipad at some kind of conscious dance festival.

On another level, I'm just glad there are people out there who still think that there's stuff which could be done.

My hope is that instead of magical thought, we can just be kind and caring enough locally for people we know that it'll see folks through because that's a real thing that we do control.
> only solution is to get back to sound money

Gold buggery, now crypto, is an old scam. In truth, sound money has never existed.

And it cannot exist. Value is a subjective measure on reality. Transporting that across time requires work. Expecting to get that transport for free is the perpetual-motion problem of finance.
We felt some of the same, not everyone vanished but several did, and I personally didn’t blame them, as we were hard to deal with. I also caught some back channel talk confirming that we were a bit too serious.

We made some friends at the hospital but after all those shared experiences and solidarity none us really kept in touch either. Which is sad in a way but honestly we were all there for one another when we needed it in the way we needed it.

We had to reboot our lives in every way imaginable and that worked for us. It doesn’t for everyone though, some people need the familiar things in life to stay grounded, my wife and I mainly needed each other.

Do your best for yourself and each other. That approach was the main thing that kept me sane afterwards and I don’t regret it for a minute.
>the bank will create the loan (an asset on their balance sheet) and a matching deposit (a liability on their balance sheet). They could do this an unlimited number of times, as long as the deposits they create are recognized and accepted by the economy.

What you're describing is a matter of accounting, I could do it too but it wouldn't create any money. The person who gets the loan usually intends to spend it in the near future, and if that was all it took for there to be a run on the banks then the system would always be in a run. The bank's ability to make good on deposits is limited by the amount of money it has in the accounts it has with other banks and the Fed, and if you trace it back, the federal reserve is the only player who is not limited by that fact.
I see what your saying in regard to me trying to appeal to emotion by using a topic like abortion. However, my intent in the example was/is that emotions are high in these topics and are used to give some opinions more attention than they deserve.

In this case I feel like the main point of the parent commenter was not a well formed opinion and as such the commenter was trying to appeal to emotion. I'm not trying to say they can't say something like what they said here. This is a perfect place to have a discussion.

> Self-preservation is not innately good (or bad)

I agree with you. The parent comment that I was responding to does not agree with this statement. That's clear when they say "what rubs me the wrong way", and referring to work done in the name of human preservation as narcissism.
Clone? More like hackers will use this to test vulns offline and make even more elaborate hacks against customers of circleci.
> bank "loan" is not a legally a loan at all but a new security that is created and purchased by the bank

No. Bank loans are legally loans in all competent jurisdictions and definitely not securities. (One can securitise loans, e.g. leveraged loans, but that's separate from lending.)

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

What? Central banks somewhat consolidate credit creation. Credit has always been the basis of money, even in the commodity era.

> Many women do not know this. It's not common knowledge. I'd wager most men also do not.

I'm sorry but what kind of bubble of misinformation do you live in FFS?

Women are aware of what a period is and the connection to eggs when they start, they are aware of what menopause is, they are aware that eggs become less fertile with age.

This is common knowledge across the major Commonwealth countries (UK, Canada, Australia).

I'm not sure what your authority is to speak so authoritively and yet incorrectly for women at large particularly as it appears you had an actual university education in Canada but, seriously, check your circle .. and if if it's reinforcing your notions then consider having a wider and better informed circle and look to why it lives in a bubble.

Where do I get pot rings?? Those looked awesome and solve a huge problem.
There is one argument against this though that is somehow brewing in my brain.

The end goal is to internalize the subject so that you can extrapolate your own insights.

"This happened in WWII so if these conditions starts to appear it risks to happen again". Just to take history as an example. All other subjects have similar examples.

And to reach that kind of insight you need to start filling the brain with information. That may be called memorization. The memorization is just one path of the road towards the black belt. If you skip it you will be lost.
> whatever else dollars might be, they are not money. They are debt instruments

This is a false dichotomy. Credit and money are two sides of the same coin.

That wouldn't have any effect on the money supply unless the other persons actually spend the money they borrowed, so most people wouldn't call that money creation.

P.S. usually borrowers spend the money they borrow as quickly as possible because they don't want to make interest payments just so it can sit in an account. That's not where the slack in bank deposits come from. Instead, it comes from people who are saving money.

Reading the question, I thought the answer was six as well. Such a question is so misleading that I would hope that an AI answers as it has in this case, because not all problems are fully logically specified, and you need to remain robust against the question being posed incorrectly.

In other words, I would posit the probability of you having meant for the answer to be 5 low, because the question itself becomes trivial. For a system that needs to deal with many people asking questions, this robustness is helpful in my view.

In other words, it's not totally clear that time has not passed between sentences in your prompt. So the second instance of "now" could be a different "now".

Magellanic clouds are even more hazardous than where we are.

If you bring the solar system along, you have that; I assume you accelerate slowly enough to bring along the Kuiper Belt. It will take a long time before you need to start thinking about dismantling Jupiter.

If you solve the p-11B fusion problem (maybe you invent a mirror for x-rays?), you don't need the sun anymore, and may pick up and move operations to another solar system that is already moving off-disc at a good clip. You can bring along rotating cans of bio-stuff if you still use it (or anyway keep it as pets).

The new solar system can have a dead-ish star so the planets are frozen and convenient to mine for volatiles.
No it is not. Safe.
Gold, especially, only has one valuable property, which is why I believe it was used as a representative "money" - it's an inert metal.

It doesn't degrade, ever, not for thousands of years.

The amount of gold in a blob can change/be diluted, but touchstones revolutionised that - people could easily discover what the percentage of real gold was in a given blob.

We haven't used gold for currency in centuries, because it's not actually very good as a currency. Why not? Because the amount of gold in circulation doesn't reflect the size of the economy. It's value sharply drops when a new discovery is made. And it's value tracks upwards between discoveries because the economies are growing (when economies collapse the local value of the gold drops too)

Laptop security aside (this is a hard problem and good solutions can often be detrimental in other ways) there should have been way, way more auditing around access to customer repos. The fact that it took so long to both mitigate further access and to understand the rough scope of the hack is concerning.

If it's a) a really bad smell and b) easy to contain.

We wouldn't just fine people for being sweaty or dirty. But if it someone's house smells like a manure factory or fish market so strongly that it affects the neighbors I think a warning and then fine is fair. Like how playing loud music is ok at a bar or during the daytime, but if it's 3am and your next-door neighbors are elderly you're just being obnoxious and need to wear headphones.

"Once understood, it is self-evident that banks are wholly responsible for asset bubbles. "

No, it's not remotely.

They are no more responsible than the counterparts to the loan.

Every loan a bank makes comes with risks to the bank.

This idea you have about what is a 'productive investment' or not is fairy interventionist.

Who are you to say what is productive, and what is not? When someone buys a building to lease out flats, is that not productive?

If you believe that there is clearly such a thing as 'non productive assets', for example, pure real estate speculation, then it's the fault of those speculators for the speculating, not the banks.

The banks make the loan if the collateral and risk line up - that's what they do.

They are not in the business of deciding what is good for the economy overall, nor should they be.

Finally, that banks create the money is not 'obfuscated' moreover, the amount of leverage in the system is actually controlled by the central bank by setting reserve requirements.

I suggest there's a lot of misunderstanding in our comment.

Comparing the output of your system against an oracle is one property you can test.

But you don't always have an oracle. So other properties still make sense.

As a simple example: if you code up a quantum mechanics simulator, that's hard, and I wouldn't be able to code up an oracle for you straight away. But I can tell you that you probably want to check that things like momentum and energy better be conserved.
