They tried price controls in the 1970's. It led to lines at gas stations, shortages, and rationing.

Price controls are always either a no-op (if supply meets demand below the mandated price), or lead to shortages.

For the good and simple reason that, if there's 100 units of X and people want 120 units, you have to have some algorithm to decide who doesn't get as much X as they want. With no price controls, businesses see X is selling quickly and raise the price (hopefully before the inventory hits zero all along the supply chain). Long-term, the high price encourages suppliers to produce more; the price provides a feedback signal that says "make more of this."

With price controls, that doesn't happen. The product simply sells out because there's not enough to go around, and the 20 unlucky people who don't get their X are whoever happens to walk into the store when the shelves are empty, or are at the back of the line when a shipment comes in.
I had to be operated while conscious but lightly sedated and I remember bits of it. I remember being told that I had to receive an injection around the orbit of my eye with anesthesia and that it would be painful. I remember being calm about it. I also remember that it was very painful but I felt ok with that. I was like: "it's true, it's really painful".

So maybe it's like that always, even if you don't remember. You sometimes feel pain, but since you are sedated, you don't feel stressed about the pain.
If you want to listen to database changes, check out Debezium. Instead of triggers it takes advantage of the more recent CDC functionality that most SQL Servers has implemented today. The difference is that triggers works on every transaction while CDC works on a redo log file. This makes it possible to transfer database changes with minimal performance impact.

This is another nod to the non-duality philosophy, which I think deserves more attention.

This conversation between Rupert Spira and Donald Hoffman talks about the unconscious in a way very relevant to this research. Very interesting to hear both sides and interesting that these revelations back Rupert's point that consciousness is always there on some level:

I’ll probably be downvoted for pointing this out but I feel like it’s important. 90% of the comments at the time of my posting this are great examples of the logical fallacy a lot of intelligent people fall into where they think their intelligence in one area means they’re qualified to make assessments or reach conclusions in fields outside of their own. This would be the same error in judgment that’s turned the nootropic and longevity industries into billion dollar ones.

If you are reading these comments please try and be aware of this fact and the possibility that anyone, yourself included, could fall into this trap and remember to take all of the amazing possibilities being suggested and conclusions reached herein with a grain of salt.
I don't know of any programming language that does that as a language-first primitive. But this is basically slapping a `#pragma openmp parallel for` before your C for loop. In Rust there is the crate `rayon` that takes advantage of the language-level trait system to "augment" any (existing) iterable with a `par_iter()` method that effectively does what you describe: when included in the same module you can simply `for foo in bar.par_iter()` in place of `for foo in bar.iter()` to parallelize your iterations.

I suspect any language wanting to offer this as the default behavior for `for` loops will end up being a language like Java, Erlang, or SmallTalk - the language spec includes a "virtual" runtime that allows it to assume such flexibility in behavior, and capacity to "create/run threads/processes" that otherwise requires an OS (as in, you start leaving the perimeter of a programming language).
Most people would just get a pre-configured router from their ISP that you can just plug in.

Unless you happen to already know of a specialized forum for a topic, it increasingly feels like Reddit and Wikipedia are the only parts of the internet that are still valuable; everything else is content farms or SEO spam.

Even then I'm finding that Wikipedia's quality has dropped dramatically in recent years. As they become more zealous about only including "encyclopedic information", I'm increasingly finding pages that have had all of their useful information sucked out of them.
Every user needing a server to run a caching daemon 24/7 is not even within the bounds of "solved" for me. I acknowledge it "works", and have used it myself for years, but it's like saying "of course the local newspaper has archives! We all just hire our own PAs to buy and store a copy every day!"
That's a good shout. What are invaluable and in sadly limited supply are religious teachers who can explain things one on one. As a result of (amazingly and sadly) the Second World War, this sort of training fell out of fashion in seminaries, and led to all sorts of dire consequences.
I think Musk is correct here. Maybe there were good intentions, but ESG is a complete failure.
> Ha. I don't work for GitHub tho! I'm just a guy writing about my feelings

And this is exactly the problem. GitHub uses you as a free writer to promote its making money goals, instead to pay somebody. You are just another case of "working for the exposure". You in fact were working for Github, you just not realized it, and weren't paid.

Open source in late 90's was not about making a personal brand -> to make merits -> so the companies will hire you -> so you don't need to do open source anymore. Some people maybe, but the majority were driven by personal hobbies and "I'll fix it because I can, in a context of mutual benefit, and feels good helping somebody like me somewhere".

Now the mutual benefit in both parts feel much more unbalanced.
Two years it's kinda long to take anything really. You can mess yourself up even if you just drink specific herbal tea for that long if you are unlucky.
There's no need to read the whole thing. Read a chapter you're interested in and go back to the book once you're interested in another chapter. It's not a novel.
I took a basics electronics course in high school and designed a simple power supply, and this is absolutely true.

Getting code to compile is cool, but building something physical is special.
Methods plural. I'm sorry if I'm coming off as smug - what I'm trying to get across is that a lot of people who have been failed by western religions in their desire for the numinous, and an understanding of how on earth it relates to everyday reality, can come across Crowley and buy into his approach. But actually, they might find that their own religious traditions have something that can do the job. Catholicism has a very serviceable mystical tradition, for example, even if things like Thomism and the persecution of the Beguines and the Quietists helped to make it less obvious.
It had real character, and the first time I used it, I came away from the iMac (with its soap-on-a-rope mouse) beaming with excitement.

I'l admit I'm not really sure what market segment Hurd is targeting. Presumably the goal is to replace in the GNU stack Linux at some point? If so only supporting niche/hobbyist CPUs (unless we're talking about really low power embedded applications) seems not like the best approach
I think a fundamental aspect to consciousness is memory recall to be honest.

This line of thought gets kind of philosophical though because I often can’t recall my drive home from work - does that mean I wasn’t conscious? No! - highway hypnosis is yet another interesting consciousness (or lack of) phenomenon.
That's spectacular. I'm curious how much storage space the entire dataset consumes in it's compresed form?
This is a big problem in the origami community. The forums have died and have been replaced with discord, it's become pretty inaccessible so I imagine it's the same for other niche hobbies.
If you're not in that boat, odds are you don't need to care.

These aren’t run down hotels. These are both rated 4.2 [0, 1] and while aren’t the greatest in the world are both Hiltons and decent hotels.

The criticism doesn’t change the nature of the original article in that San Francisco is less good as it once was and as a result businesses are defaulting on pretty big things rather than invest in keeping them up.

The inaccurate language seems to have a “everything’s fine here” kind of vibe to me.

This is an incredibly disingenuous take. ;)

- $3/user is the Apollo author’s projected costs. Dunno what the rest of that means. “The App Store charges 30%!!!” simply isn’t relevant other than for devs projecting anything that’s hurt them over the last decade into this story

- What are “all the changes”? My understanding is he’d release an update with a new API key with a CC attached.

- If it’s gravely important that the yearly subscriptions who have paid already get free Reddit, why is he shutting down?

- Why is it impossible to give a finite list of customers a refund in 30 days? Again, isn’t he doing it anyway?

- I’ve developed on the App Store since day 30 and don’t know what App Store rule you’re referring to.

- I think your claim is Apple might not let him get an update out? That’s fine. Do what everyone else does and _don’t add the credit card to the old API key_.

- He can’t afford $60K/month? Why not? Charge more than costs. That’s how business works, you don’t have an inalienable right to free APIs.

- he can’t afford $60K/month, redux: he bring in millions a year, right?

- His two claims are:

1. he was offended because Reddit said the app is inefficient - he won’t put it into quotes so I’m guessing it was just generic “you could optimize your api calls” advice

2. He made a very bad joke that he frames as “mostly joking” and frankly, was blackmail. We’re seeing the other side of it now.

Anything else?

Do they commonly allow arbitrary OpenID hosts?

By their own admission the point is to socially dismantle heteronormative white men. These identity groups are considered oppressors in Western communist ideology. So they're to be taken down, as an adaptation of the old "seizing the means of production" mantra to modern cultural targets.

Wokeists have managed to get into powerful positions in most if not all Western institutions, so their attacks are being enabled throughout society.

That's why there's so much discussion about how to end whiteness, suppress toxic masculinity, and promote queerness. These are thinly veiled discussions about destroying the oppressor class and taking power. They were never about human rights, mutual respect, or acceptance.

Some Western communists are more direct and aware of it than others, and some actually want the system to collapse because it would create opportunity for their preferred system to emerge.

Male impotence serves its purpose of reducing resistance to the political project. Men can regain their social power by joining the revolutionaries, but at personal cost. For example, I've recently seen incels talking about transitioning as a means to access intimacy and support. I've also seen hetero white men change their entire appearance and cultural views in the last several years, in order to receive popular approval.

The men who don't do these things, either because they don't understand it or because they reject it, are being left behind. Many then join reactionary ideologies like The Red Pill (Andrew Tate-ism), Trumpland, Inceldia, or Christian nationalism. Many become akin to the hikikomori in Japan - socially isolated and withdrawn, playing videogames and watching porn all day. Others get on with their handicapped lives and try to avoid attention.

Those who do compromise are still constantly walking on egg shells. If people don't like them for some reason, their past will be dug up. If something is found, they get excommunicated.

To be clear, I have no problem with trans or queerness in people. I just recognize that it's one of the best ways for modern men to gain support and approval in a world where they're otherwise being systematically attacked. I see the appeal in picking up a pride flag in order to be embraced by the broader community. I can understand why an emotionally damaged person would go to great extremes to end the suffering, whatever the rationale.

The main points I want to get across is that this is all part of a demoralisation process, people are being victimized and coerced, and there is no intention to resolve the issue. The only allowable way out for men is to join the game, anything else is to be met with derision and hostility.
I think moderate consumption is a function of tolerance and the specific metabolism of the person combined. I remember reading a comment in HN, where the commenter had a genetic trait which slowed caffeine metabolism by 4 times. So, he had it inside his system 4 times longer, and caffeine had no positive effect on him. However, let's not digress.

I'm not a body hacker, and I don't like to mess with my body much, however I had limited time, this was once in a lifetime situation, so I had to put some regular hours to finish my Ph.D. corrections.

Also, it's worth noting that I'm an avid black tea drinker since 6 or so. I didn't change my tea consumption habits through my life.

First, I read about resetting caffeine resistance/dependence. The method is simple and clear: "Give up coffee for a week. You'll have headaches in day 3-4. Endure. You'll be fine". Then I started to consume coffee to the point where I felt productive, yet not tipsy. I have a Starbucks mug, it's "Tall" in Starbucks parlance. I started with two cups. One morning, one after lunch. As the resistance built up, I started to increase in a controlled manner, to the same line. Productive, but not tipsy. I was putting 10-12 Pomodoros a day (250+ minutes of truly deep work), and my mind was mushy and tired everyday at ~5PM. I never pushed my body beyond that point, because I needed that brain tomorrow. Left my desk and got rest.

I finished everything on time, left coffee for ~3 months, had the headache on day 4, alleviated with 2 sips of coffee that day.

As of today, I drink half a "Tall" every day, and feels enough. If it's too stressful, I also drink another half on the other half of the day, and these are my findings about my body.

Considering I'm not in "battle mode", I can really work well with half a mug of coffee/day.

Coffee shorts my hunger regulation and appetite, and makes me lean to sugar. That's not good. Considering my brain has less brakes and way higher idle than most people (per my doctor's words), this is double bad. So regulating coffee has a net positive effect on everything.

I can reliably build and reset coffee reliance/resistance now, since I know how my body reacts to caffeine.

I always think 10-12 hours ahead since it's caffeine's life in your body. Will I be awake 10 hours later, or will I be battling against caffeine to sleep? This is important for me.

Coffees with mild/mild-high caffeine concentrations works best for me. I don't like high-caffeine or ultra-caffeinated coffees. They make me tipsy causes heart palpitations and creates stress for no reason.

Black tea is a good aid for sustaining my focus. It improves focus, but doesn't create the same stress on my body. I can almost drink infinite amount of coffee until 2 hours before sleep, and it'll keep me collected and focused. What I live is it doesn't create an illusion of being not-tired by priming the body, so I can reliably feel how tired I am and plan accordingly.

Hope this helps, and please don't hesitate to ask for further specifics.

I don't see how could it be more open that ARM longterm since there are no incentives to release high-end core designs for free. I mean I full see the potential for more competition between different companies designing proprietary cores which seems like an improvement over x86 from the consumer perspective but that's it..
Vue Storefront's new integration-boilerplate, based on our new SDK architecture, was just released. Now, you can build an integration for your headless backend that is not bound to any specific framework. This SDK can then be used across any frontend framework. Thus, if you have clients who are confined to a particular framework, you can conveniently adapt to their needs and preferences.

Here's a video explaining how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdNRrZ6R-mI.

If you'd like to test it, just execute this command: 1 npx @vue-storefront/cli create integration

It's open-source and we're open to answering questions and getting feedback from the community.
It's going to be interesting with the new ordinance to outlaw camping from dawn to sundown. If you camp during those hours, you face jail time. The theory is probably that this will separate hard core drug users from homeless people who aren't willing to go into a shelter. That'll be an interesting experiment.
Forgive my redundant point being repeated from a few days ago:

Park Hotels borrowed $725MM interest only and bought property. They haven't been building equity. I believe these mortgages are non-recourse (at worst they can foreclose, not go after you for any extra money). If the property is worth less than the note, there is no reason not to send in the keys. I've seen the same news in the past couple of months in other cities that have seen a run up in recent years.

Marcus Aurelius had slaves. He was the emperor. He did not have to worry about the multitude of minutiae required just to continue to exist.

When it seems to you rich people are able to achieve more, remember that’s because they need to do less. If you did not have to think about basic necessities, you too could do more of what you dream about.

They didn't "fail to repay." Nobody ever repays this type of loan. They failed to refinance. And the fact that no one would refinance their $725 million loan means that the property has seriously declined in value.
My answers to the two questions in the post title: "Yes" and "Read Concurrent Data Processing in Elixir [1]"

I have dealt with concurrency in PHP (good times with Laravel Horizon) in a couple of different ways and in NodeJS (never feels good, to me). The BEAM has some great primitives for concurrency and the book mentioned above walks the reader through them at a good pace. I read it cover to cover and it really enriched my mental model of how to use concurrency and async.

Pretty arrogant to call it a comical failure when OpenAI is openly stating they're not training GPT 5. I think people who think we can do much better than GPT 4 without insane cost scaling and a nuts amount of data (that's going to get harder to collect when regulations start to kick in), probably don't know what they're talking about. We're deep into diminishing returns here.

They glossed over the NeXT roots which is telling, the ideas were only half-heartedly baked into the OS. It should be strictly enforced that everything on-screen has a relationship to everything else. But that would have been hard work, and they realized eye candy was an easier route when you can just announce something else every few years. This is why desktop evironments really haven't changed since the first commercial releases and Apple is just another PC vendor. Too bad because imagine if the relationship based operating environment was well developed for their spatial headset.
I still wonder if we're just reinventing the wheel when NNTP and FIDONet both solved this issue of connecting the disparate message bases nearly half a century ago.
