But a significant portion of the top 10% of Americans economically.

The top 10% of Americans by combined household income is any household (not income, household) earning ~170k or above. [0]

Layoffs at this point have mostly been within the tech industry only, hence why rates continue to be hiked. Who cares about techies who most live and vote in already dark blue districts. To win elections you gotta decrease inflation in purple districts and red districts with much more diverse economies. (Big reason Big tech started nearshoring in Atlanta, Austin, Nashville, Columbus, and RTP btw - to get some political capital from legislators in Red states)

This is why you see Dems who get most of their support from white collar professionals like Warren and Ro Khanna slamming rate hikes as they negatively affect their core constituents. [1][2]

This is a white collar recession [3] and most Americans aren't white collar. Hence why you are seeing strong job growth in blue collar jobs still [4] leading to even higher rate hikes, because they clearly aren't negatively impacting most Americans

This is actually a problem plaguing old ports of Japanese video games, sometimes even to this day.

The reason for this is that Japan uses a mixture of symbols that represent entire syllables (hiragana, katakana) and symbols that represent entire concepts (kanji). So they have a much higher density of information per symbol, at the expense of having a lot more symbols.

Then, when the game gets localized, input fields for names and spacing for text displays are way too short for languages written in the latin alphabet.

I assume it's a similar cause here.
You may enjoy Hetzner instead, then.

One thing they don't seem to have mentioned was hydrofoils.

It would be more for time critical shipments, but hydrofoils can greatly increase the speed of sailing vessels, but would need proper design for the sea state (such as routes to avoid larger waves, different hydrofoil designs less for speed and more for safety/reliability, etc.).

The Olympic windsurf race in 2024 will be the first one with hydrofoils. America's Cup racers with the AC75 class are already on foils, with very high speed (~60mph), sometimes over triple the windspeed. Windsurfers on foils now can triple or quadruple windspeed in light winds.

This tech is much more common now, and has exploded in the last 10 years in various different water sports. It would just need to be adapted to a different need than just racing.

If you read the article, the same is true in the SanDisk case. The module is still a 16 GB module, and “A portion of the total capacity is used to store certain functions including optimizations of the memory that support performance and endurance and therefore is not available for user storage.”
You are right. GPT is unpredictable. We had to write a few parsers that attempt at formatting the output.

My favourite was at one of the companies I worked for. The admin decided that users are not to be trusted to choose their own passwords and so you had to mail the admin to generate the password for you which you then could not change on your own -- you had to mail him again. The password had to be changed every month and an email would go to entire company to change passwords before the guy goes on vacation.

I would like to think we progressed a bit but recently I worked for another company which required that we use our company domain password to log in to test linux servers. The issue is that everybody has root access on those servers. I implored that it is not safe and there should be separate accounts to access those servers but of course nobody would hear it.

So I wrote a script which intercepted all logins and passwords of people logging in to our test servers and then sent to the manager responsible for it. Well... they wanted to fire me for "hacking" their servers and I had to explain to them that once you have root on a server there really is not much they can do to prevent me from stealing passwords.

The end was they did not understand anyway and I was barred from accessing test environments. They also changed the linux distribution and "hardened" it because the old one "must had security vulnerabilities".

Fortunately, I soon changed the job again.
Sturgeon was competent at enforcing party unity and winning Scottish elections. But in terms of actually achieving things for Scotland, both her and the SNP have failed. It's a one issue party so in terms of independence:

- Support for independence is now lower than when she took the reigns. That by itself must count as failure on the SNP's own terms.

- Lost the "once in a generation" referendum and then refused to accept the result, campaigning for years for a second referendum she had already agreed wouldn't happen.

- Made zero progress on reducing subsidy dependency on England, creating the widespread impression that the SNP doesn't really want Scotland to be independent. Many other specific issues around independence also have been ignored despite the lack of answers being one of the issues causing their referendum loss.

- Done everything possible to piss off the neighbours across the border, like encouraging anti-English rhetoric that would be considered grotesquely racist if there was a skin color difference.

And in non-referendum areas:

- Poverty and poor health are worse in Scotland than England.

- She said she wanted to be judged on closing education gaps, but they didn't close.

- The economy is worse.

- Social policy is totally reactive. Under Sturgeon the SNP just tended to copy whatever England was doing but making it more extreme, without any obvious guiding principles. The gender self-ID fiasco is a good example of that. 2/3rds of voters are against it and Salmond says it's done more damage to the independence campaign than anything else (which says a lot about the strength of that campaign). She didn't think through the consequences and when faced with the reality of what it means in the Isla Bryson case, flailed around and couldn't articulate a coherent response. Total incompetence.

- Scotland has quietly developed a reputation for corruption and weak institutions, with problems you don't see elsewhere in the country.

The nasty Salmond/Sturgeon affair was one example, and her resignation is likely triggered by the police finally starting to investigate where £600,000 of donated money was apparently embezzled to. The way she "can't recall" that her husband lent over £100,000 to the SNP is another symptom of this sort of thing.

The Epic Games launcher has a bizarre behaviour here. If you first sign in with your Xbox account, you can later sign in with the credentials of your Xbox account (email and password), as a 'native' account. I'm not sure what's shared, but that process made me uncomfortable.

My hope is it's a password hash or they forward the sign in request to MS servers, but who knows.

Try making friends outside of work when you get older. It's hard. Really hard. It takes on average 200 hours of interaction for people to become "good friends". As an introverted, very private person, I would say that's an order of magnitude too low. They closed our office and our entire department is WFH. Some people have left for conventional office jobs, but some of us have thrived in the zoom/teams culture. I'd rather quit than go back to the office, personally. Though I understand it's not for everyone.

Not at all. It means less nominal wage growth. That can and does happen without an increase in even job losses, let alone unemployment. (You can have job losses with constant or even increasing employment.)

Only if they can produce it cost effectively and in large volume. This is going to be a learning curve that will take them years.

Hybrid cars are not the same as an EV. Toyota needs to start worrying about their existing revenue not drying up before they can master the same learning curve that other manufacturers have been trying to master (with varying degrees of success).

Corolla like EV platforms already exist. Several Chinese manufacturers sell those in their domestic market for prices as low as a few thousand per car. And several of those manufacturers are ramping up their exports to the US, Europe, and Australia.

Rust's new claim is now that references isn't immutable, it's shared by default. There is no concept of immutable data in rust. All data is mutable in various ways and that is a product of the binding not the data, from the cell interior mutability eupphamisn to shadowing in the same frame: (`let x = 2; let x += y;` is valid even though x isn't defined as mutable. The mental gymnastics a rust parishioner has to go thrown to shout down other languages while theirs fills with the same concepts is growing by the hour.

Prices never come down. Except maybe gasoline, after it jumps high in a panic now and again. Everything else just ratchets up, always.

The best I can understand it, the low interest rates encourage lending / borrowing, which expands the money supply. As the supply of real goods and services is not keeping up, theres more money than goods, so prices of everything go up.

Layoffs are a way of keeping wages down, but that's just corporate greed. If wages went up, it would effectively negate inflation - we'd just get extra zeros on everything, but individual purchasing power would stay on par (you could still pay your rent with half a paycheck, etc).

Of course in a global economy that would cause the country to be at a disadvantage in the import/export game.
Hmm, if we do that (as a formerly avid cycling commuter) can we also make it so blasting thru the red light (on non empty streets), riding wrong way on the road, talking on your phone while riding, etc - something I saw pretty much daily when I used to ride - is treated as seriously as the same for cars?
I use KeePass, but keep the file in cloud storage because I need to log in from multiple places and it's a tradeoff I'm willing to make. I don't want to excuse bad security practices, but in the end I've decided I'm safer with good passwords + cloud storage than I am with possibly bad passwords because I need to retype them all the time.

I feel like this is part of the reason we need real data protection laws in the US. There doesn't seem to be any downside for a company with lax security practices.
I think Toyota is in much better shape in this regard than you might expect. Most/all of their hybrid vehicles use an eCVT transmission to drive the front wheels that's radically different from a traditional transmission. And their AWD hybrid models provide the AWD via an electric motor on the rear axle (no connection to the ICE engine) that's essentially identical to the setup in electric cars.
“It’s just stuff.”

My first college roommate made this completely off handed comment not too long after we moved in together. We were still strangers. I must have been anxious over some of my dumb crap, god knows what prompted it. But in that one moment everything changed for me, it really did. I had only been moved out of my hoarding parents’ house for a few days and that one remark snapped me out of it forever.
> rates are 5% and inflation is 7%, real rates are -2% (maybe -3 or -4% after tax) which is worse than before

Spot real rates versus long-term inflation expectations. If you think we’ll be at 3 or 4% inflation long term, the short term bite is fine. As such, yes, higher nominal rates, even if lower in real terms in the short run, can still have this effect.
This happens in the US all the time. Political consulting groups have been doing this for a very very long time. It's part of the fabric of our society.
There are less complicated VCSes than git, so this sounds like a cop-out.
Just remember to breath. Try to spend some time every once in a while stepping back, listening to experts, and reviewing your assumptions.

The sense of urgency or passion you feel is mostly just coming from the way we are crowdsourced to hype things up for a profit-seeking market. A year from now you will undoubtedly feel silly feeling and saying the things you are now, trust me. It's more just the way discourse and social media work--it makes you feel like there is a crusade worthy of your time every other day, but its always a trick.

No worries, we have all been there!

"Voluntarily". Where to start?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartheid

> Between 1986 and 1988, some petty apartheid laws were repealed, along with the pass laws. Botha told White South Africans to "adapt or die" and twice he wavered on the eve of what were billed as "rubicon" announcements of substantial reforms, although on both occasions he backed away from substantial changes. Ironically, these reforms served only to trigger intensified political violence through the remainder of the 1980s as more communities and political groups across the country joined the resistance movement.

> ... The Bisho massacre on 7 September 1992 brought matters to a head. The Ciskei Defence Force killed 29 people and injured 200 when they opened fire on ANC marchers demanding the reincorporation of the Ciskei homeland into South Africa. In the aftermath, Mandela and de Klerk agreed to meet to find ways to end the spiralling violence. This led to a resumption of negotiations.

> Prior to 2001 we had the Gulf War, Panama in '89, Somali in '93, Bosnia in '95. Compared to then, it's been pretty peaceful since 9/11 and the Iraq War? Especially compared to the Cold War?

Cold war was largely over by the 1990s, and the wars of the 1990s were generally short, UN-lead, and either small-scale or successful. The US sent 441 troops to Somalia for 2 months in 1993 - small beans compared to the 8 years and peak of 500,000 troops in the second Iraq war.

Pi doesn't work that great, power consumption is still several watts, too much for batteries to be cheap and compact if you want a day or two of backup, plus self hosting in general is very much enthusiasts only.

It was a major outtake of the whole area, and there is not that much competition in terms of cables for historical reasons.

Though, it's also possible that the other connections just failed, or could not take the sudden traffic, or the system crashed for some nonsical reason, because nobody really tested this scenario.
Tangent, but I think the practice of shrinkflation should be made illegal altogether (although not sure how you would enforce it). If you need to increase prices, fine, but it's a complete waste of packaging materials to just give less of something for the same price in the same package, not to mention the environmental harm.
I don't understand why it's necessary to treat employees with such sudden distrust. It is necessary to immediately cut off all access? These employees aren't being fired because they are suspected of perpetrating a crime, right? I I understand the need for layoffs, but I can't respect an organization/leadership that treats people so coldly. This behavior also affects non-fired employees that may have a need to ask knowledge transfer questions.

Since I'm fortunate enough to be an experienced SWE living in the US, I can afford to add D.O. to my list of "will never work for" employers and discourage peers from ever joining.
> Audio is one of the most real time applications. Most real time applications have much lesser time controls. If you are running a motor the inertia of the whole system means that you really only need to adjust the speed every few seconds.

Anecdotally that's one of the "eureka" moments behind SpaceX's industry-disrupting low production costs. They realized they only really needed ±20ms precision for communication between different sensors/actuators, which made heavily multiplexed ethernet busses feasible, and got rid of massive amounts of dedicated serial lines and related hardware.

Can you cite this as it sounds horrible.
This is a good point and feels like three kind of thing Conway would have written about.

One good way to find rational approximants is to look for large values in continued fractions. Looking at log_2(10) we get the continued fraction representation

[3;3,9,2,2,4,6,2,1,1,3,1,18...]

The 9 isn't particularly large, but if you truncate just before it you get

log_2(10) ~= 10/3

and hence

2^10 ~= 10^3.

If you keep going and cut just before the 18 you find that

2^325147 ~= 10^97879

This is correct to six places, as you can easily verify

$ python3 -c print(str(2**325147)[:8])

No doubt manufacturers will use this to further swindle us as soon as we have storage that requires 40 KiB pointers.

Disclaimer: I'm not a Datalog expert. I do work for a company that makes a relational graph knowledge management system (RelationalAI), that has some Datalog-type aspects, but I only dabble at the front-end/query-language end of that; I work on the storage layer. I've also never used Datomic or its offshoots.
Yes from what I understand, Datomic works only with binary relations. Classic Datalog can work with full n-ary relations. (However any n-ary relation can be thought of, or logically recomposed, as a series of binary relations anyways, and vice-versa)

Syntax also clearly is not the Prolog-ish syntax of Datalog "proper."

But my point above is, Datomic is but one product and implementation of these concepts. It's a wrong take to make a statement like "The problem with Datalog, and Clojure in general are the licenses"; there is a field of many products, all with multiple licenses, and also weird to make this "Clojure" swipe, when there's only tangential connection between "Datalog" and "Clojure" based on one product (and its offshoots).
