In the current economic climate the consumer is under a lot of stress because the effect of inflation has been to increase corporate profits, so they're already feeling a "tax" from inflation. Borrowing is up in lower income households, even though rates are higher. This isn't going to help that situation any.

From Reuters:

> "We've seen evidence that middle to lower income consumers are cutting back on discretionary spending," said Mike Graziano, consumer products senior analyst at RSM US in New York.

> "Given the student loan relief plan was aimed at this customer cohort, any additional fixed monthly costs will result in additional financial pressure."

> Separately, 26.6 million Americans with federal student loans will start making interest payments in October when a more than three-year moratorium ends. Morgan Stanley estimates that the hit to households' disposable income could lower inflation-adjusted consumer spending by about 10 basis points this year and slice 7 basis points off GDP growth.

10 points here or there isn't much, but if they start to add up, that's how you wind up in a recession.
> They use the beginning student [1] and intermediate student [2] versions of the language.

To elaborate, one of the further benefits of multiple student languages like these is that concepts are taught incrementally. For instance, in the beginning student language, lists are explicitly shown as `(cons a (cons b '()))` before they are shown as `(list a b)` in intermediate student language.
If you are using politically motivated reasoning, yes. Good luck with that!

I guess what I was getting at, when you are logging lots of data in something like Azure app insights, Splunk, etc., you don't have the luxury of being able to just scan your logs with your eyeballs, because there's simply too much information. Instead you log objects, and are querying logs almost like you would SQL.

> calling MDMA an amphetamine is technically (i.e. structurally) correct but also misleading. it's structurally an amphetamine, but so are DOB, Sudafed and Wellbutrin. it's stimulating, but in a different way from regular amphetamines, because it doesn't release dopamine.

MDMA is more selective for serotonin, but it does release dopamine as well.

Comparing it to Wellbutrin, a nonstimulant, is far more misleading. MDMA is an amphetamine, and it acts similarly (but not identically) to other amphetamines that people are familiar with.

> But the devices were dreadfully slow and RAM constrained by todays standards.

Yeh. That's why people turn them into DNLA servers or FTP heads or motion sensors or security cameras or weather machines, spotifyd servers, Docker playgrounds, RC cars, GPIO controllers, home assistants, esoteric K8s nodes, et. al.. There's plenty of things you can do with hardware you don't intend to directly interact with, things that the iPhone is perfectly suited to do.

> Which modern browser engine do you real think would work decently on such a device?

Webkit? You can still build it for 32-bit arches, I don't really see what the holdup is. Firefox could squeeze into ~100mb of memory if you're light on tabs, and Chrome would... well, run. With a little help from swap space.

> Besides that, no pre- 2012 iOS devices supported 4G and the carriers are dropping 3G support completely in the US by the end of the year.

That's fine. If you want to use iOS, use iOS. Running the entire iOS userland would be a complete waste of CPU cycles if you wanted to just use it as a homelab.

Shevardnadze says multiple times that NATO expansion was never discussed, no matter what angle the journalists used to ask about it.

>> SPIEGEL ONLINE: Was the eastward expansion of NATO ever discussed in the inner circles of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1990?

>> Shevardnadze: The question never came up.

>> SPIEGEL ONLINE: Nevertheless, the eastward expansion happened a few years later. Did you feel, at the time, that the German diplomats deceived you?

>> Shevardnadze: No. When I was the minister of foreign affairs in the Soviet Union, NATO's expansion beyond the German borders never came up for negotiation. To this day I don't see anything terrible in NATO's expansion.

Couldn't be more clear.

There's not a single Soviet representative who has said that yes, we had an agreement, and that it was violated. No paper trail of any kind either (discussion papers, meeting notes, personal diaries). It's a made up story.
No it doesn't. Ignoring the fact that you incorrectly refer to LLVM IR as LLVM, C is a language spec and LLVM IR is a dialect. LLVM IR dialect doesn't mean much outside LLVM framework and are constantly expanded upon and improved via no attributes and ops and abstractions to help trickle down context coming from levels above to be used for optimizations and making valid assumptions down the line. Comparing the 2 is nonsensical to say the least.

I've seen some slim running JVM stuff by developers who actually bothered to care about it - under 25Mb slim.

Yes, lots of Java apps basically go "lol .... KABOOM" if you give them less than half a gig of RAM to play around in, but IMO that's a tragedy of the commons like thing within the ecosystem where common approaches mean you end up with layer upon layer of libraries none of which thought -their- RAM use was particularly egregious.

At this point, it's not the runtime's fault (G1 is excellent), and while you could argue that the language design led developers to do things wrong I think it's more a culture phenomenom - I think I might consider blaming J2EE and its proponents rather than the language itself.

Of course, from a sysadmin point of view, the runtime+application combination's memory usage is what matters in practice, I'm just saying the reason why you find yourself staring at the screen thinking "wait, it's using how much?!" is more complicated than "Java's memory management stuff sucks"

> An authoritarian who submits to regular democratic elections is much less of a threat than one who removes that check.

This all gets pretty sticky. Putin, for example, followed both rules 1 and 2 (at least publicly). It wasn't until he'd consolidated enough power that he attacked #2 "for the good of the people". He was in office at the time.

That's where I think really healthy skepticism around "stolen election" claims needs to be in play. When someone claims the elections are unfair (even when they win!) that's a sign they aren't making those claims in good faith.
> modern forum software like Discourse is pure agony to set up and maintain if you don't know what you are doing

I'd like to know more about why Discourse is this way. Why the fark can't I just docker compose it up and running? I'm almost but not quite thinking about paying for a hosted Discourse solution since time is money. But why do they make it so hard?
> teens (11 percent) report experiencing swatting more often than adults (2 percent)

This is ridiculous.

The ADL says that 1 out of 9 teens have been a victim of a false-alarm SWAT raid. I know the US has over-militarized its police force but…come on.

And reading their source, it actually says that 5% of adults say they’ve been swatted in their lifetime.

I’ve been missing out.
Good point. And that is where Lula and Maduro are very similar being both byproducts of a sophisticated political elite operating behind the scenes in Latin America. (some people use "deep state", but I think it is too much of a US based terminology. In Brazil we say "sistema", the system, and we are more used to it.)

This elite in Venezuela is responsible for keeping Maduro where he is today. And its Brazilian counterpart is responsible for releasing Lula from prison and making him a president within a 2 year time span.

Maduro and Lula cannot do any of that by themselves.
When developing an automatic trading system the following aspects are important:

- Data feeds and data ingestion. It can be a fairly independent component which collects data from different sources (might be even discussion forums) making it available to other components in some uniform format

- Feature generation. The source data is rarely used in its original form for decision making and having good (informative) features is frequently the primary factor of success. Moving averages is an example but nowadays this will hardly work

- Signal generation. Here some logic should be applied in order to emit discrete decisions and such models are heavily parameterized with thresholds.

- Real trading and order management as well as coordination of all activities.

The article sheds some light on the technological aspects and the general pipeline used to process the data and manage orders. Although it might be interesting indeed, I would expect more details about how to scale the solution and how to implement it asynchronously. Especially if it uses Go which has a special construct for that purpose - channels.

I understand that it is not the focus of the article, but having some general information about its trading logic and how to plug new and parameterize existing strategies would help. Some links at the end are quite interesting for me because I am developing an intelligent trading bot based on ML and feature engineering (https://github.com/asavinov/intelligent-trading-bot) for which such articles might be quite important

As I understand it, none of the windows handhelds have instant or even reliable suspend during gameplay.
Normally it would be, but unfortunately in a country where small portion of the population literally stockpile powerful guns permitted by law, I would, as a responding LEO, want to be prepared for the worst..
But most nations seem to be trying to make it so wherever on the internet their citizens travel, their laws apply.

Even though in many cases there's literally no servers, no offices, no business in a country. Or worse, you have India, which just mandates you do have an office, which is an unbelievably bullshit way to get their sneaky talons into the entire rest of the world's business.

Nation's need a limit to jurisdiction. They are not respecting that on the internet, their people are travelling abroad. Until nation's can start to recognize some limit to sovereignty, there is no moral or ethical obligation to fulfill their limitless absurd egotistical power-mongering. It is good that we ignore this illegitimate unjust application of power.

But to repeat, many companies do have real legitemate business operations & physical presences in other countries. Then you do have to obey those laws.

Your obey-all-laws maximalism doesn't acknowledge any limit, & poses a stark picture of absolute lawfulness. How do we navigate conflict between nations; what happens when one countries data protection laws conflict with another countries surveillance laws? What happens when either a nation or a jurisdiction goes power mad & demands basically unfettered access? In general I don't see any reason why we would obey the laws of countries that we don't have a presence in. Your people are coming to us, your people have left your nation. If I go visit Italy I am under their jurisdiction. What's happening now is a farce, this idea that each nation has jurisdiction over the entire internet. It's just not so. There is no internet like that. The lowest-common-denominator of agreeable rights & permissions to exist & host yourself online is the null-set.
there will never be a unified push but this development will eventually provide the energy and motivation for a critical mass to take action.

Roadmap and Growth

A few weeks ago, we intentionally slowed our invite roll-out while we built more moderation tooling and capacity for users on the app. We staffed a content moderation team with shifts that cover a 24/7 schedule, and consulted with trust and safety experts to establish new processes and policies to support a growing userbase. We’ve resumed sending out daily invites to the waitlist, which is where the majority of users already on Bluesky received their invites. For those who don’t know someone personally with an invite code, the waitlist is the fastest way to receive a code, though please be patient as we work through the list.

Honestly, I think Facebook and "social media" in general would be way better if they were paid services.

It's easy to think that people won't pay for such an experience. I think that's naive. There are plenty of examples of people being willing to pay for a premium experience when free/cheap options are available, like these:

- Apple convinced a LOT of non-audiophiles to pay $249 and $550 for Bluetooth earbuds and headphones (respectively).

- OpenAI is convincing millions to pay $20/month for ChatGPT+.

- Krisp makes a bunch of money over something that has a free alternative (software noise cancelling) because it's just THAT good.

- Tesla convinced a LOT of people to buy a Model 3 or Model Y over the Camry or Accord they were originally going to get.

I would LOVE to use Facebook or something like that but am not willing to have a non-governmental entity surveil my every move online in exchange, nor am I willing to be subjected to an experience that is constantly trying to get me addicted to using it.
I'd put them both, and their combination, on an equal footing.

Therapists are not infallible and like all people vary in skills and competence. Not everyone is going to benefit from therapy and for some people it will be harmful. Ditto for shrooms.

Given the expense and lack of access to therapists, for many people trying mushrooms first is probably a good option. You could have a bad time but it's very much dose dependent. Most people will just laugh a lot. Taking a massive dose and not being prepared for the things lurking in your subconscious is most definitely not recommended.

It's the usual story: if they were legal you'd have much more control over strength, variety and usage. Less people would be harmed and more people would benefit.
I'm not sure when you wrote go, but versioning is even more clearly part of the package management than with other languages. Major versions of a library have different import paths, such that you can look at the top of any file and know exactly which major version of a dependency it's using.
They have to treat every situation as violent. On average, every American owns a gun. There is no encounter with the police that doesn't run a genuine risk of becoming deadly in seconds.

The rest of the civilized world has decided that this isn't a good way to live. But here in America we want to be 100% certain George III isn't coming back, and if the cost of that is unarmed people occasionally murdered by the people assigned to protect them, that's just the way it is.
Who's relying on one, who's relying on the other? Dunno! I guess we'll support both, because we're good Internet citizens that believe that breaking links is the absolute worst thing you can do.
That would be a true description of any pay-to-win game — if you just buy everything available to be purchased, then you’re playing on a level-playing field.

The craziest thing I see though is people importing the Atom namespace into RSS feeds to get some of the elements. At that point, I can't fathom what advantages there is to the producer to not just produce an Atom feed.

RSS 1.0 was basically the first attempt to produce something like Atom without reinventing too much, but Dave threw his toys out of the pram, so the only option was to reinvent it with a different name and clean up the remaining sharp corners.

It's tragically funny. Atom is both more correct and easier to produce and parse than any RSS variant.

Were I to join Automattic in the morning, the first thing I'd try is to attempt to get them to abandon their weird RSS mashup as their default feed format. There's no good reason why Wordpress still generates RSS feeds.

Yes, I'm a bit bitter, but I was in the feed wars, and it still stings.

I really don't understand this one. I turn down clients with projects I don't want to do all the time. How is "I don't want to make your crypto-scam website." substantially different than "I don't want to make your same-sex wedding website."?

If you were a McDonalds of websites, and any person could walk in and order a stock website it would be a different matter entirely. To refuse to sell an item off of your shelf to a customer based on sex/religion/skin-color/etc would be entirely wrong, but to refuse to enter a contractual agreement with someone to create a bespoke thing seems different.

Then again, I may be some sort of terrible despicable bigot, because I've turned down *EVERY* contract to write PERL that I've ever been offered, so maybe I'm just a warped individual.
What your parent quoted comes from the page you shared.
> I will say that CPAN somehow avoided this problem. I think that is mostly because Perl programmers are far less liberal with dependencies, you don't typically see programs pulling in dozens or hundreds of modules the way you do in node projects. But it's remarkable how many old Perl programs can still pull the dependencies and start right up.

The fact that CPAN avoids this makes me think it's largely cultural. At least some of it may be that CPAN came of age in an era when internet access was less reliable and slower.

Some of it is also that development "in the open" has become more the norm. When releases are rare and only contributors have VCS access, then there are fewer opportunities to depend on unstable interfaces.
I want Github to send me notifications when Github Actions finishes running a build and it's broken.

that's pretty nice although I really don't like how it puts a value judgement on everything. Characterizing things in a way that's not just "good(-er) and bad(-er)" would be nice.

For instance, on the "pornhub" one they put in red that the service can monitor your "private" messages. I can reverse the value of that: with the problems of sex trafficking, underage exploitation and other types of crime that could happen there, we should be happy the company is dedicated to doing that. All of those red items in fact look like things I've got no problem with there.
