> When the rate of return is high, savers can achieve their goals by buying, holding, and harvesting the resulting cash flow. When it is low, they must turn to other strategies: leverage, arbitrage, momentum trading, more sophisticated quant trading, and “beauty contest trading“: betting on what others will find popular, for (arguably) extra-economic reasons.

I don't think this is how people behave.

I think collective behaviour can be better explained by people discounting the painful lessons of previous downturns the more the longer prosperity lasts. Our brains are wired this way, unfortunately and it requires a conscious effort to objectively (if it can be done at all) take into account risks of serious and long lasting financial winter.

Most people don't have the self discipline to do this. They kinda know about it but then they see other people making shitload of money in risky "investments" and our greedy primate brains take over.

I interpret "excess liquidity" to mean that there is a larger than average share of people, businesses, or governments that have enough excess wealth to want, need, or be required to invest that excess wealth.

i.e. There are more people with money that needs to be spent.

I interpret "sloshing around" to be a metaphor for the damage that can be caused to various markets (real estate, stock, etc) by a sudden increase in demand (caused by the above people, businesses, or governments excess money suddenly flowing into a given market).

i.e. When lots of money is suddenly spent in a single market it causes a harmful amount of price inflation.

"The signals have to be well protected, otherwise bot authors will just read your JS to see what they have to patch next. Signal collection and obfuscation work best when the two are tightly integrated together."

JS sounds like a bad match for this task. I perform similar checks from the backend with http headers and Python.

Is there a compelling reason to stick with JS despite the added complexity of obfuscation?

Edit: My use case is different than yours as it's part of a pid-free analytics application. However, bot detection is still an important component of that product.
Exactly. And as the blog post mentioned, people who have a strong need to block bots have tools other than browser fingerprinting at their disposal. Quoth the post:

> It’s important to leverage other signals such as:

>

> * Behavior (client-side and server-side)

> * Different kinds of reputations (IP, sessions, user)

> * Proxy detection, in particular, residential proxy detection

> * Contextual information: time of the day, country, etc

> * TLS fingerprinting.

Having a headless browser that behaves exactly like a normal one is tremendously useful for making things. And people who really *need* to block bots also need to contend with "mechanical turk" style attackers anyway. These techniques are also very useful against that approach, which still may be cheaper than making an undetectable bot even with a near-perfect Chrome fingerprint available headless.
It more likely that most examples of lat/long in structs were floats, so that's just what it used.
maybe she was a diversity hire herself? didn't take professional writing but got the leg up for some other checkbox? lmao. /s
If that's the case, what does it protect against? Reducing server load? This has always been trivial to bypass by proxying requests through a server. With a direct socket it would be the same except you wouldn't require a proxy server.
I'm not the OP but for me it's connectivity (my home connection can be flaky at times) and maintaining a server with all the updates. I'd rather do it on shared hosting.
Not disagreeing with any of that, I was just thinking that very little of what's generally useful in blender for making art transposes well into something useful or convenient for CAD. The whole mindset is different: you generally don't scale anything when designing a mechanical part, you specify or parametrize dimensions (because catalogue items like fasteners won't care that it looks awesome at 123.6%), and similarly, you don't move things by arbitrary offsets in arbitrary directions, you add assembly constraints so the kinematics make sense.

I'm sure CAD Sketcher will grow a ton of convenient shortcuts too, I don't think they'll have much in common with the rest of blender.

That would rule out almost all server side templating systems, and most non-JSX client side ones (svelte, vue and angular all involve it to some extent) so I don't think that's quite right.

I think maybe you've misread the author talking about the fact that most server side templating systems are fundamentally fancy ways to concatenate text as meaning writing the literal text concatenation yourself without having a library do it for you?

For public data I am inclined to agree with the parent.

You could just pass a single auth token to the database if it supported it for public data only and fetch it that way. Kinda like a bearer token, etc...

Therefore having direct access to the database from the client side only for public data.

This would be very beneficial to the web as a whole as a lot of the data is public data.

Then the separation of privilege/access has to happen directly at the database level which is totally possible.

Would be a nice addition to the web to treat public data differently.
Temporary expirable sessions like we have today could be one way. Generate a temporary session (DB creds) for an authenticated user.

Looks like it positions the usual two pulley wheels closer to where chain slap happens, while adding a pulley wheel that remains close to the cassette.

In the usual case, you have pulley wheels both shifting and tensioning the chain. Fine for most road bike use cases, but that leaves lots of room for chain slap in gravel and mtb use cases.

The viability of this design depends, it seems, on whether it adds less drivetrain loss than a clutch, and if added weight can be kept low.
They will, because you need to know to prompt for (as an example) "a real-time data-tracking and reporting application backed by a column database with logical replication fed by a task queue, having an isomorphic client cached across multiple regions via a CDN."

Without the engineering know-how, your "write me an app that displays data from this source in a dashboard" prompt might work, but it won't be robust and when it doesn't work you won't be able to figure out why.

If there are 1000000 stocks of a company around and a lot of people want to buy and almost no-one wants to sell. If one person manage to buy 10 stocks from another person at 10% above last days price ($100), i.e. at $110, then the total marked value of that company has increased by 10% to $110 * 1000000 = $110 million. So $10M were created driven by a small transaction of just $110 * 10 = $1100.

It's not that all 1 million stocks have to trade for the total value to go up. All the people who did not trade, but who own the other stocks, have seen their (paper) value go up.

And the same, but opposite happens when it goes down of course.

Let's say some major event would trigger a panic on the stock market, then very few trades could cut the total market by 50% and very few would get any money for their stocks at the price when the panic started. Most would not have sold and would sit on stocks worth 50% less than the day before.

Kind of extreme examples here, but just to show what I believe you are "getting wrong".
We regularly get feature requests for Headless to provide a field or property that can be polled by JS frameworks to detect if Headless is active e.g. windows.isBot.

Well, Headless is open source, which means anybody could build a Headless version with such a property set to "I am a human, trust me!" and employ such a modified binary ... ;-)
I was talking more about the errors and crashes one sees while developing software. What you bring up is more from the software user perspective.

If a software engineer sees their software crash because files or permissions are missing, I think that is definitely an opportunity to improve their skills and handle such cases in their code.

And I want to be clear about this - I do not blame, nor judge, nor is it my place or predisposition to judge people for errors in their code. But I think for those who judge themselves as many software engineers do, it is important to make peace with making mistakes.
> Why did you opt for Atomic CSS instead of Tailwind?

> I don't buy, support, or condone DRM'd media

this is good, but it would also be helpful if you supported the anti DRM movement. Some people have developed ways to get around certain DRM such was Widevine, from dumping your own CDM to Widevine proxy. Just ignoring the problem is not going to make it go away. Over the last two years DRM use for streaming content has increased significantly. If you want to really help, I would look into contributing code to these projects, or donations.

> So people try to convince you for a bit, and if you still refuse, then they leave you alone. It seems like a workable compromise.

And what they forget while doing that is that they are not the only person existing in the universe:

Others will also attempt to convince the very same non-dancing person to dance.

So if you are at a party, sitting at the bar not dancing, you will have to have this discussion like 5 times in a single evening.

And if you enjoy going to parties even though you don't dance and therefore go regularly, then over the decades you will have to have the discussion thousands of times - which isn't a workable compromise anymore but just an annoyance.

So fire them. Everyone is hired to do a function. If someone can do that function with a minimal amount of time, why should they waste their extra time on performative work? Give them more to do, or accept they don’t need the amount of time in the standard work week to complete what you hired then to do.

If they are goofing off at home and not completing their function, fire them.

If you can’t even tell if the function is being done or not then the functions that aren’t being performed are those of management. But ensuring everyone comes to the office doesn’t solve that problem.
During COVID-19, my company laid off hundreds of people. Then they attacked my paycheck and cut my pay, with a month's notice, leaving me to scramble in debt [still ongoing] to pay it off, while almost wanting me to be grateful for letting me keep my job.

I moved across the country for my job, only to eventually end up working remotely 5 years later once COVID hit. I will never go back into an office. The issue is that if I ask for more money... I'll be the first to be laid off when they are scrambling around to save every penny possible.

I also stopped working overtime and going above and beyond for my company. I do just what my job description says: no more, no less. I do not volunteer for anything anymore. I used to be that gungho employee who really believed that if I tried hard enough.. if I did this or that.. I would get that promotion or raise... it never happened.

My wife used to tell me: "If you go that extra mile... they will notice." Nope. Never. Not once. And if they noticed.. it was because I made mistakes. I don't believe a word any of my managers tell me. I don't believe a word the CEO says. Always just there to do my job... and during downtime, I'm working on my own side products.

I completely agree you 100%. Only so many lies and bullshit you can go through before you understand how the corporate world works. Why don't I quit my job, you ask? I get to work from home. And "working from home" doesn't always mean I'm home... sometimes I'm in a car driving across Colorado.. or California... or wherever tomorrow brings me. Gotta love the Internet I bring with me.

They're expensive, and ones with as many gears as a derailleur system are hideously expensive. Folks worry that they won't have the gears that they need for hills. Also, I think the bike makers are timid about marketing them -- an entire line of bikes might have exactly one with a hub gear, on a bike with "city" styling.

I've got a couple of bikes with old Sturmey Archer 3-speed gear hubs, and they're utterly bulletproof. I've had each one open exactly once, when I got it and wanted to make sure it was in good condition before putting it on a wheel. Plus I was curious.

The other thing in my opinion, though I love hub gears, modern derailleur systems with a zillion gears aren't all that bad. Especially with indexed shifting, which we've now had for decades. They're exposed to the weather, but most people don't ride in bad weather.

Since you mention hybrid/city, that's my category. I use my bike for commuting to work, shopping, and weekend recreational rides. I'm in no way fast nor competitive, so the weight and efficiency issues are secondary for me. But also, the 3-speed is a sweet spot where its efficiency actually rivals derailleurs.
Bikes in the $15k plus range are probably targeted at professional sport cyclists, who need to adhere to UCI equipment regulations, which include the requirement for a chain-derailleur drive.

If you want to know what's premium for everyday utility cycling, look at the ebike space, where people are shelling out thousands for bicycles just to use them a vehicles. Hub gears are not dominant, but are very well represented on price points over $2k.
In case you don't get a reply from the parent commenter, it is basically putting many heat pumps together. So one heat pump steps the temperature up a bit, and your next heat pump takes that warm fluid and bumps up its temperature and so on.
You don't want to do large changes in temperature all in one go because it's inefficient - heat pumps love small temperature differences.
Yes. Old troglodyte prepper here. I don't prep for WWIII specifically, just anything from natural disasters to economic collapse to civil war. It's more of a hobby for me at this point and has already paid off a few times. Covid was the most recent event. I always find it interesting to see what comes next. A train carrying some surprise payload? A balloon with an EMP? Avian flu gain of function? A new fake activist group? A giant stay-puft marshmallow man? I can't mitigate all of them but I am stubborn enough to try.
The reason solar power was growing so fast last 2 decades was mostly EU and German central planning. Not to say that central planning is better in general, but reaction speed isn't inherently better in capitalism. One common problem is capitalism getting stuck in chicken and egg dillema - central planning had advantage there. Granularity of adjustment is the main advantage of capitalism. And some kind of hybrid is the most efficient.
I think it's important to be sensitive here. There are people who don't like sex, and people who don't like outdoor settings either.

Now the age-old question is whether, with enough "opening up", they could. And yes, in many cases with enough therapy they could and would. But in other cases, therapy isn't going to achieve that. But regardless, doing therapy is essentially changing yourself to become a different person. And nobody is under the obligation to do therapy, or to grow or change or open up.

So I think it's important to be able to accept at face value that when someone isn't into something, whether it's dance or sex or the outdoors, they just aren't into it. Leave the door open so they know they're invited on your next hike, but zero pressure.

What use case is there for accessing DRM video content using a headless browser?
The usual heuristic I've encountered is that a library is something where your app code uses it and asks it to do things, and a framework is something where your app code hands off top level control and the framework asks your app code to do things.

Whatever you think of that terminology, I think the majority of available things you can use do fall substantialy into one or other of those categories and the difference in working style while using them is a distinction worth being aware of.
That's my point exactly.

We have a chatbot that can send users screenshots of their CMS views (kanban, calendar, tables, gallery, etc) from inside of Slack.

The screenshotting uses puppeteer and chromium and a read-only session to impersonate the user and screenshot their dashboard.

It uses the old version of chromium and there were many gotchas that required a lot of extra scaffolding to actually render ours and other websites like they would on my laptop. This will hopefully make it easier for us to maintain once implemented.
