If you carry a calculator in your pocket, but if you're just casually converting, 3 feet per meter is pretty good. 100 square meters is about 1000 square feet as well. Not legal for tax purposes, but good enough to understand how big a place is.
The key phrase is "As a store of value". I'm not debating if this is good or bad for the overall economy.

If you have the exact same fungible asset, and you have a choice to inflate or deflate the supply, deflating is always going to be better for its value because there is less of it.
Alternatively, we can remove the new telemetry code by hand before compiling the Go compiler.

Is it still possible to compile the latest Go compiler using the Go 1.14 compiler (C source). Documentation states it is possible but when I tried compiling Go 1.20 with Go 1.14 as the bootstrap I got a message asking for at least Go 1.17.
Slow (the code sections take a while to load), annoying (the copy and paste thing again) and paywalled. I feel dirty when I accidentally click a medium.com link. I, unfairly, devalue the devs who use the platform.
You'd think so, except no. Floating point operations are innately lossy and even non-associative, and non communative.

A+B+C does not equal B+C+A in floating point.
> Deflationary = good for regular people, companies are loath to invest. Saving is encouraged.

You've explained why inflationary is bad but not why deflationary is good.

The starting point has to be history, where deflation has been accompanied by a lack of economic growth and high unemployment.

During the Great Depression, the dollar became a deflationary currency and the slowdown in spending certainly didn't make the economy serve regular people any better.

That's the canonical example of deflation you have to explain away.
Those "inoffensive boxes" look to me, like stuff I would expect to see being built in Russia. I'm offended by them.

I can’t understand how this is used. Eg his expression for r_t in the inverse at the start. How would you use this in a program to get the inverse? Guess just pointing out that you can iteratively find one coefficient at a time.

Also the differential Eqn looks integrable.
Also fwiw its always lowercase - dbt.

Iceland actually has some trees. But in that climate they don't grow very tall.

Also, much of Iceland is a desert of lava, glass, and black sand; some other parts are covered with ice. Not many plants can survive in such a landscape, and those which do are usually not trees.
My review of the C standard library in practice
I'm confused. Didn't you specify "pirating productivity software" as the supposed crime of artists (the group you also specified)? In your imagined scenario, what's the crime you're perceiving? If the folks who created the productivity software wanted to keep it protected, they should have just made it private -- correct?

I fear that (as in the case of your analogies) your positions may not be as consistent as you believe them to be.

In terms of intellectual property -- if creation of value is the primary means of obtaining a livelihood in a given society (such as ours), and folks value the work an artist creates, they should be paid for that effort. Same as the person valued for tending bar, or for providing medical care, etc. If you propose the creation of an entirely new form of society, then buddy tell me when and where to be because that's something I'd like to be a part of.

But even then "artists pirating software" isn't where I'd start laying the foundations.
It was flying at an altitude and in an area where it might have hit a commercial airliner.
I assumed they were talking about the payload. FWIW the Chinese balloon's "van size" was specifically the payload size.

I think the vast majority of people on this site understand that balloons get "bigger" when rising in altitude. (quotes because the balloon is the same size but looks deflated closer to the ground)

I shall clarify:

There is nothing wrong with having an irrelevant share of the market. Most software I use has a market share in the 0-2% range.

However, Mozilla screwed up quite badly because their response to being pushed out of the mainstream was to gut everything that would have made them an interesting niche player. Their niche could have been "OK, this isn't Chrome but you get an IRC client and a bunch of crazy capabilities that are fun at lan parties. We'll train the next generation of devs by giving them cool capabilities to experiment with!". Instead, the niche is the worse version of Chrome.

Now the metrics show people don't use Firefox. Funny thing, life. I think it was a bad time to make a metric-driven decision.

I have never felt like I am faking it, is that really strange?
FWIW, I feel like I at least mostly understand the premise of Mastadon and how it works--though there are crucial details I know I don't related to how replies interact with federation (exactly where the data gets cached and stored in such cases... it isn't clear to me if that content is "owned" by the server of the parent or the child, and then how other servers manage to find it)--and I'd still be extremely frustrated by a public/discoverable mirror/proxy of my content, and will claim that that consequence isn't just an "impression" but is actually a fair description of what is going on.

Let's put it this way: is it really any fundamentally different from someone setting up an Instagram account for someone else who is only on TikTok and then copying all of their content there, because they prefer using the Instagram client or don't want to install the TikTok app? I'll claim "no": the federated nature of Mastadon doesn't actually change why people want to do this and it doesn't even change the mechanism for how it is being done. Now, maybe you are OK with such mirrors--and, FWIW, I can begrudgingly defend that position if required to--but I hope it provides the right framing.

I'm also going to assert that you should not ascribe benign intent to people doing this, even if initially it seems fair to do so or you yourself are the person doing it and you swear you are just providing access: I've seen people do this kind of thing--including to me, as I have in the past been considered to have extremely high-value / sought-after content (back when I was posting updates about iOS jailbreaks)--many times over the years, and eventually they realize they now have a ton of followers on "their" account and can start inserting their own content or even modifying mine.

Meanwhile, people end up trying to contact me by messaging a mirror account--as while some of those in your screenshot are ostentatiously adding "[UNOFFICIAL MIRROR]" to every tweet, not all of them are--as they absolutely do just look like an official account and so people follow it and then start responding and communicating with it... that simply never goes well for anyone: I have definitely had people reach out to me complaining about interactions they had with "me" when they were actually communicating with some random person providing a content mirror / translation.

If you want to do something like this for a service, it should either be part of your client (as opposed to a server/protocol issue) or (barring that, and given Twitter now trying to red team people with their API, I get it) be more like how people build XMPP bridges: something that is pretty ostentatiously a special bridge mechanism to the consumer who probably themselves actively installed and configured it so it is really clear what is going on, rather than it merely being a bunch of "this is just a regular user account" accounts created by people who are claiming to be neutral.
How does discouraging wash trades hurt mutual funds? Selling a losing position seems like it would put downward pressure on that particular stock price. Turning around and buying an equivalent position seems like it would put upward pressure on that particular stock price. The only benefit to mutual funds seems to be that if you tax any money the Ballmer's of the world cash out, then you reduce the amount they can put in. Putting in more money would help the current mutual fund price, sure, but it would also make it more expensive compared to the underlying assets for future purchases of that fund.

> It’s mathematically impossible if your portfolio grows to offset each cash out with a paper loss

Unless you have a very, very large and distributed portfolio compared to the amount of cash you are taking out any given year. Such as for a billionaire who wants to bequeath their billions to a tax-free charitable trust after they die.

> And in your calculations you forget the price I paid into the positions.

I was making the math easy for rhetorical purposes.

> Suddenly, the tax collector says “this purchase (spending money on the stock) turns your $0 profit into $50 profit, taxes please”. How comes?

Because you haven't "realized" the loss in B. Instead you've made a market-manipulating double trade.

If I make a loss tomorrow I still have to pay my income taxes. Why should it be different for stock market purchases?
Anecdotally, as a man in academia, all of the men I know closely also experience this. It’s pretty much universal for men and women. If it’s more associated with women, I think that is because it’s less socially acceptable for men to be vulnerable, or discuss their feelings.

It makes sense to me that it is in a sense a consequence of privilege, success, and opportunities. If nobody believes in you, or expects a lot from you, you won’t feel like an imposter.
> The Hungarian Wikipedia being overrun by neonazis is news to me. Are you sure you didn't mean the Croatian one?

Quite. It's subtle but the bias is obvious. But, since it's Hungary ... who gives a damn? Have you seen the prime minister?
We're trigger happy because the right used this to attack Biden in an effort to show that he is weak. This is also why many papers also mention that many balloons floated over during the previous administration. Though of course, why wouldn't China take advantage of that?

for me I can't see it any other way. When I watch the teeth meshing, they look correct, but when I zoom out, the other side of the gear is always going backwards
Just because CFO's direct reports are lean, it doesn't mean that managers in other orgs don't indulge in empire building. It could happen even within CFO org, where he can't judge.
I'm not sure what the situation is in other European countries, but in the UK we use different units depending on the use so most people are use to working with both imperial and metric.

Perhaps with the exception of fahrenheit most people here will know what you mean if you use units like feet and will often even prefer thinking in feet over metres for certain things. Personally I default to feet for something like height or a floorplan, although I can think in metres quite easily too.
Yea the costs are the tokens it pays to validators. I'm not sure what you don't understand about that. Ethereum the network takes payment for transactions, and pays validators for validating. It is profitable because it currently takes more payments for transactions than it pays to validators. All of this is on the sites I mentioned.

How could validators possibly be revenue? Maybe it helps if you visualize them as contractors who do a job for the Ethereum network, and get paid for that. How the contractor manages their own budget is irrelevant to Ethereum.

I'm not talking about tricky stuff like do syntax monads.

I'm talking about FP at it's core.

The '.' compose operator is not procedures. In haskell it does something completely different.

>Realistically, most FP programmers program ML-like languages (Haskell and Elm included) in an imperative manner. It's an extremely straightforward translation, and in Haskell it's basically syntactically identical due to do notation.

No Elm doesn't do any tricky stuff. So elm is not imperative Haskell can look imperative with do notation. That's about it.

I mean you can put put elements of your equation on different lines but it's still not imperative.

1 +
2 +
3

I mean ..yeah... if you want to call that (1 + 2 + 3) imperative, be my guest. But obviously that's not what I'm talking about.

> So you think it's justified to have a petulant attitude when you're expected to follow employment, fire safety, and environmental regulations?

I mean exactly what I said, not the words you're cramming in my mouth.

The letter he wrote acknowledges the regulations are important and that the enforcement approach taken by authorities are justified.

It also makes it clear that he has tried to comply, and is concerned that he had no viable path towards compliance, and potential unbounded liability if he got it wrong. And he got scared and bolted.

> but that's a lot less fun than simply being yet another whiny, entitled boomer.

Nice slur. He was actually a member of the silent generation.

It seems like you're really upset about all this, throwing around insults and "petulant" in your comments and leaving multiple incomplete sentences around.
> Times change.

Exactly, they changed from no-js having some relevance to it basically having no relevance at all and most no-js support is legacy from the past.

Today in my experience people are less, not more, likely to disable Js.

EDIT: Also a non small part of the web today is video content, which won't work without js.

You need to stop thinking like a rational capitalist. It's a common problem for westerners to try to look at Russia from this angle.

It makes the cost of energy go up in Europe and the US, which exacerbates the existing problem of monetary inflation caused by the recent pandemic. It was meant as punishment for the West's support of Ukraine to increase civil discontent with the existing pro-Ukraine western governments. This allows the electorate to be more receptive to populist candidates funded by Russia with anti-Ukraine positions which will give Russia what they want.

Then, Ukraine goes to Russia, gas goes back to Europe via the still intact pipeline, European money goes back to Russia, and Russia wins.
Elm is still really good for web applications, and the community is still active.

I used Elm in production for many years and it is my choice for most production projects.

Exceptions are

- If you need to do a lot of number crunching and can't use Elm ports

- If you need to use WebGL

- If you depend on very specific JS libraries and can't use web components

Many of the controversial decisions do make sense if you dig deep enough, but... You need to dig enough.

I agree that there is an utter lack of transparency and communication from Evan and the core team.

Worse, there is no acknowledgment of the problem nor any attempt to try and truly involve the community in the future of the language.

Many enthusiastic people have left the community, leaving only those who can tolerate being told what is best for them.

Personally, I stopped contributing to the community in any way.

I started to write my own replacement language, http://squarepants.io/ which also tries to address some of Elm's weaknesses when scaling up (I was fortunate enough to use Elm on some large projects).

> who do you think will get fired?

Ah, hold on, I know this one.

Steve will get fired, because the manager will think they can just drop-in replace him with the high-performing Bob.

Bob will then reach burnout due to the high demands and short deadlines, and he'll rage quit.

Then they'll hire Chad in a panic, who performed well at a whiteboarding interview.

Six months in, they're thinking of firing him, not just because he bro fists everyone in the office, but there's no one to replace him with.

So they promote him to manager, because of his obvious leader qualities, and assign him to hire his replacement.

Thanks! We considered looking at Git history - churn is an metric that I've seen in other tools, but I don't have a great intuition for whether it's actually valuable. I just ran code-maat on the codebase I've been working on, and I'm not sure if it's that useful.

Our most touched files are our typedefs, package.json, backend routes, feature flags file, and the sidebar navigation component. These are large files that could be refactored, but I imagine I could've found those just by looking at lines of code. I'm curious if you have any stories of this being helpful?
Yeah people in hard sciences can't really fake as a workhorse. However, I have worked at a job where almost everyone but me was an onshore offshore copy/paste StackOverflow "software engineer" and they were absolutely fakers but they truly didn't see themself as such. Their main defense was to make sure to only hire other "engineers" who were even worse than them. That type of hiring cascades to zero nicely.

Outside China, though, Ericsson now claims to serve more operators than just about any other vendor. Ekholm today put Ericsson's share of the market for radio access network (RAN) products at 39%, excluding China, telling analysts it has grown from just 33% when he took over in 2017. Fifty percent of 5G traffic outside China runs over Ericsson, he said, while 16 of the world's top 20 operators are using its 5G core.
It's related to pride, in my experience tutoring high school and college kids. That was my own experience while growing up as well, there's a sentiment that "natural" smartness and hard-working smartness are two seperate things.

I feel like kids have been moving away from this mindset, but maybe it's changed names. Growing up being a "nerd" was uncool, and studying was "nerdy". After college, I talked to some of the people who were the "naturally" smart kids and I found out they lied so much about how much time they spent not studying. Everyone lies. Part of it, I learned, was that my graduating class ended up with a lot of cut-throat people, they lied about how much work they put in to gatekeep. I don't speak to a single person from my graduating year now even though I am friends with some teachers as well as kids from other years. A similar concept but less isolated to academics has been kind of a popular "insult". I sometimes hear the concept of "sweaty" being uncool among the youngest ages I teach. Sweaty, as in working so hard towards something that you work up a sweat. It's doesn't have to be a physical activity, you can be called sweaty at video games, or sweaty at math.

Education is a weird place to use the word talent, looking back. You can't wake up knowing new information. Everyone has to learn, the people who look talented just learned it earlier than everyone else. I am not sure why hard working is seen as uncool at that age. I wonder if it's different in other parts of the world, I learned that I have a very typical north eastern USA experience.
Operations room did a great video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Is3R4ie21Mc
Static types mean some languages benefit from IDEs more than others. Code completion is not very meaningful without types unless you use some machine learning magic.

The nice thing about Typescript is that it was basically designed as an IDE language. It has just enough typing to make the IDE useful and let's you ignore the typing well enough when you need to. It isn't a safe language, just toolable.
it's ironic because as a little kid in the US in the late 1970s we all learned the metric system, but we see the "imperial" system everywhere still....like the conversion just never got around to happening. it's confusing.

A classic "world to end tomorrow - women and minorities hardest hit" article
We wrote some of the most complicated web pages ever in Elm.
It manages complexity to a level that imperative languages (of, gods forbid, OOP) cannot even dream of.
Surmising from the article, it appears that Imposter Syndrome was originally conceptualized in the context of feminist thought and at some later point migrated into wider cultural discourse as a more gender neutral concept. But for people immersed in feminist literature and discourse it's probably still very much a feminist concept, especially as it relates to experiences.

Because of how women physically and emotionally mature and the social roles they grow into, I can easily imagine that there are dimensions to Imposter Syndrome as originally conceived which would be less familiar to or less intense for most men. For example, stressors regarding dress, tensions between sexuality and professionalism, dilemmas between following the rules vs breaking the rules, etc.

But I'm being charitable. The quick dismissal by the author is indeed disheartening.
