> On the paper. But the recent history shows that in practice it plays a bit differently

What history? When did the Fed ever lower rates because of the deficit?

> Japan where BoJ effectively owns almost all of the Japanese government debt.

Help me understand why a large holder of debt would want it to pay less? (Also, Japan is a bad model for America.)

> not naive enough to believe into the soft and no-landing scenarios

That's fine. That's reasonable. What's not is thinking we'll have deficits cause lower rates and then inflation. If we have a hard landing, which is the historically-suggested outcome, we get lower rates and a recession. Not inflation.

> it becomes another form of QE.

No, because new money isn't being created. Existing money is not being removed. That's different.

> If you set the penalty rate on the level of the current Fed rate, eventually banks will fail

How?

> If you set the penalty rate on the level of the current Fed rate

It already is. This is how it works.

> since they can give enough loans at such rates and deposits actively flee into treasures and MMFs

How does the discount rate cause deposits to flee?

Also, what?! The discount rate is 5.5% [1]. Banks can borrow against the market value of their Treasuries at that. So for a dollar of face value, they can borrow ~60¢ at 5.5%. If we penalty that for face-value borrowing, they can borrow 100¢ at e.g. 8.5%. Help me understand how this additional liquidity causes whatever you're predicting?

Yes that is the ultimate goal! Although that is obviously a far future. Currently we only have funding to provide a few toy languages, but hopefully the results will be good enough to draw attention so we can scale and broaden support to more and more languages!
Airbnb was so good and I don't want to mention the year because I will get it wrong. I went with my friend that year for literally hardly any money and we seen 8 European countries. It wasn't just Airbnb but Wimdu (We are UK).

In the space of a year, prices doubled, and then there was fees not included in the price so when I accepted those prices and fees and went to book, there was more fees under the "checkout" section.

That might have been 7 years ago when good quality hotels were parity to the final price. Obviously I haven't been back on any of these since but it was definitely amazing at one point.

On the contrary, you want your fund to cover unlucky situations. By linking the size of the insurance to a random number, you cancel out unlucky external events with a lucky internal event, thereby ensuring proper coverage.

IMO there's appeal to both. I just got back from Europe for the summer. About half the places I stayed were AirBnbs, the other times hotels or shared living communities (ie. Outsite in Lisbon, CityHub Amsterdam).

In some cases the AirBnbs got me a much better location at a reasonable price. Vienna and Paris in particular. But then places like Prague and Berlin had more reasonable and central options w/ hotels (both 25 hours Bikini Berlin and Numa Prague were incredible experiences).
I'm not sure this article proves its point. Companies certainly want to prevent interopability and create walled gardens, but that's not what's stopping competition. What is stopping them is that we live in a different world, where much more people use the internet and do so much more casually, expect everything to be of the popularity and quality only the big companies can create.

Take Reddit: there are a lot of bots on Lemmy which simply copy and re-post from Reddit. There are tools to freely export all of your Reddit posts and comments. And Reddit at least up to July has been 100% archived. If people had enough motivation, we could all migrate from Reddit to Lemmy almost instantly; Reddit wouldn't even have a legal leg to stand on because the posts and comments belong to those who posted/commented them. But most people really don't care, and much more don't care enough to actually transfer their data or refuse to stop using Reddit; as a result, Lemmy has <1/100th of Reddit's user base and isn't a threat anytime soon. The same take could probably by applied to Twitter and Mastadon as well.

> A worker can’t reverse-engineer the Uber app to compare wages with other workers and algorithmically determine when a job offer is a lowball. A consumer can’t install an ad-blocker in an app without risking felony prosecution for violating the DMCA. An entrepreneur can’t mod the Amazon app to remove all the paid results and display comparison prices from rivals. An investigative journalist can’t scrape grocers’ websites to build the case that large firms are colluding to raise prices while blaming inflation.

This is funny because the second thing (ad-blocking) is something which possibly the majority of Internet users do and nobody absolutely gets prosecuted for. Blocking in-game ads? Pi-hole. Nowadays, people don't even get prosecuted for cheating and piracy unless they're distributing it (and though individuals could theoretically be prosecuted, the likelihood is low to the point of it being stupid to worry about).

Also, there are multiple sites which do the third thing (scraping comparison prices) though none of them are really popular and I doubt any use the Amazon app. The first thing (scraping Uber rates) I haven't seen, but I'm sure if someone really cared they could make a website for that as well. And the fourth thing (price collusion) has been alleged by many with evidence that didn't need to be collected from the apps, people just reported the prices themselves.
Did the bat bite? How was it captured? How was it even near you? Must be a heck of a story! :-)
Everyone serious about gamedev at his age would be well versed in assembly language and such. It's unthinkable nowadays but normal for graphics programmers in 80s and early-mid 90s.

If I look at my (now old) DVD collection, I realise I've not watched them for... 10 years at least. There's only one movie that I get the urge to watch at least once a year, if not more, and for some unknown reason, it's Shrek. And I don't even own the DVD. I guess that one I should buy.
The author was involved in the creation of Objective-J. It would be interesting to hear about how he saw it meeting his criteria.
A friend of mine was taught True Basic for a middle school programming class, and he really disliked that class (middle school is grades 6-8, for students about 11-14 years old). The next year they switched to teaching Python, and that frustrated him, because he thinks he would have maybe liked the class more with an easier programming language like that. This was in the early 2010s.

On the other hand, it's not like he ever pursued Python or any other programming language outside of class anytime after that, so it could he that he just wouldn't have liked programming anyway.

That's not to say True Basic is bad or anything. Some people tear their hair out over coding in C but enjoy other languages. It's just what came to mind for me when I read "True Basic".
Fair, yeah. I don't have a professional network. I find the folks I work with to always be insufferable. Guess it'll be launching resumes into the void. Thanks for the perspective.

> inflation environment equities usually do not feel great, since inflation causes shrinking margins and it takes time to pass rising costs on the consumer

This is factually untrue [1]. Equities aren't a surefire inflation hedge, as they're sometimes positioned. But it's also wrong that they "usually do not feel [sic] great" in inflation. (It's also wrong that margins compress in inflation.)

At least they cancelled your subscription. My youtube red/premium account(s) got banned for community violations despite only using them to view videos. When they ban youtube accounts, they block you out of the subscription page so you can't even cancel membership. Multiple (three) accounts one after another that I signed up for premium thinking it would get resolved and refunded, but it never did. I can't even say it's tied to my IP, because other people on my network are fine. Maybe device specific.

Regardless, unlikely you'll find a human to talk to, there might be option to appeal which for me was every 4 weeks and got automated rejection. I had a Google One account that boasts in person support, and indeed a person tried to coordinate with youtube team and the TLDR they're not equipped to deal with other Google services like youtube. Anyway, ended up cancelling credit card and Google still owes me $100. Hilariously 2/3 accounts got unblocked after submitting random appeal a year after the fact on whims. But not my primary account. Just utter shit show.

One thing GP may be thinking of is the multitude of deriving-related extensions. For example when DeriveAnyClass and GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving are turned on simultaneously, the latter often doesn't work due to GHC silently picking the former on a newtype when both could be used. This particular annoyance has been fixed by a new extension, DerivingStrategies. Until this, it's impossible to turn on both extensions in a single module and have some newtypes derive some classes using one and some using the other.

I can't think of anything else that could be incompatible. I would also disagree GP's claim that extensions are poorly documented. GHC is very well documented, including all its extensions.

At least when people 'think of a hotel room', they are happy with your assessment of these hotel rooms. In other words, expectations almost match. This is not the case with Airbnb: a large variance between what one expects, and what one ends up getting. Airbnb, their scammy hosts, hosts with 10 properties, etc are all responsible for it.
You don't need to guess and it's not a conspiracy.

People with self hosted LLMs have reproduced this.
> Nowadays they're all made exclusively as investements, not as people sharing their own apartment anymore, so they get the cheapest connection they can get away with.

It is possible to dig deeply when reviewing AirBNBs to see how many units the host has, if they're associated with corporate owners. It takes more time, but it is still possible to find people renting parts of their home like it was originally.
Treating them is the point. Find people who's too late to get the old rabies shot and give the new treatment to them. The difficult part is control group but that's always the difficult part. Without control group they can probably just compare statistics with the past...

When traveling you already are making a bunch of sacrifices in that vein, often happily.

Most Hotels are short term bedrooms/bathrooms with some extras.

Where air b&b competes is against medium/long term stay hotels that try to give a more normal living environment.

Initially airb&b had price attractiveness for even short terms stays but that's largely gone now as it became a business opportunity rather than a side income option.

A common term in board games (and at least roguelike games) is “coffee break” games, which usually take ~5-15 minutes.

I remember going back as far as the 00s, RPG games that didn’t have at least 40 hours of gameplay were criticized as being too short.

Is there enough room between Flappy Bird, “coffee break” games, and epic (J)RPGs for a lot of terms about how long a game takes? And what do you mean, like a session? A run-through? There are games where you don’t have access to a save point all the time, and others where you can just turn it off and walk away and later it’s exactly as you left it. There’s that game Desert Bus that takes ~8h but you can’t even really stop to use the bathroom.

There’s games that have more or less replayability, or dozens of hours of depth that you can explore but only if you like.

There’s so much more to the medium than there is to books. I don’t see how it’s necessary or useful to use a length metric to describe games. It feels like asking “how many pages long is this game?”.
Now, if only I knew what was in John Carmack's scratch paper as well...
This looks great. When working in smaller teams, there's a lot of pushback when the suggestion of adding a new tool comes up, mostly due to the learning overhead involved. This might be just what we need, since it leverages existing tools many are familiar with already. Thanks for the suggestion.

> this is an unreasonable standard

My phrasing could have been more clear, I'm not saying you need a 100% perfect system and no on-call.

It's weird they're instituting on-call for everyone now, and I'm curious about the reason behind the policy change. I've heard of "on call for everyone" being used as both a response to programmers shipping unreliable code, and also as a preventative measure to encourage programmers to ship more reliable code.
TIL I'm capable to perceive light in the ultrared infraviolet spectrum.
They do, but they don't generally have living rooms separate from the sleeping rooms. When I had little kids, and they went to bed at 8pm or got up at 5am, having segregation between the sleeping and non-sleeping family members was great. AirBNB gave you that, plus the kitchen without having to pay 2X for two rooms. It's also a lot more comfortable to set on a couch than on a bed, or the tiny desks you get in hotel rooms with kitchenettes.

AirBNBs are also broadly available, with lots of selection. There may be hotels with the amenities you want, but they are rare, and are less likely to be in the part of town you want to be in, near your family or friends, etc.
