This is denial. There are absolutely problematic side-effects with the existing calendar system, and the obvious use-cases that jumped out to me are on the business/financial side. Yes, the changing length of months makes financial planning slightly more difficult. The arbitrary nature of how many non-business days occurs in a month cause issues (some months can have many more 'business' days than other months, skewing financial data for those months and the months surrounding them). Don't get me started on the fact that different years have, in the US, different lengths of time between Thanksgiving and Christmas, skewing consumer behavior.

I'm not saying this is a good enough reason to even begin trying to upend the existing calendar system and replace it. But the somewhat random nature of how weekends and certain holidays are distributed throughout the calendar can have effects on business, and presumably other areas. One might suggest it is all awash because the bad effects of one year/week/month will erase the good effects of a future one, but I don't find that comforting if it contributes to, say, the company I work for having an under-performing year, resulting in layoffs (granted, there would be other factors here as well). Regardless, the inconsistency is a problem.

I recall working at a FinTech company and hearing some team gloat about something like an 8% increase in MoM revenue, only to be shut down by someone in finance pointing out that there were 8% more bank days that month. Imagine someone wasn't thinking of this and people got promoted (or fired) because of a total nothing-signal being misinterpreted as a hugely positive (or negative) performance. The existing calendar allows this.
Biome is the continuation of Rome Tools. It exists since several years and always featured a linter and a formatter.

If I remember correctly, OXC was born out of its author's desire to learn Rust and his feeling that Rome Tools/Biome had made complex technological decisions (mainly the use of CST instead of an AST). Rome Tools/Biome chose a CST to bring first-class IDE support: you can format and lint malformed code as you are writing it.

I hope more collaboration between Biome and OXC in the future. However, the inherent difference comes from technological choices.

I do not understand your question. If you are suggesting the common vernacular of “the (national) economy” should refer to the plight of the bottom x%, then I guess that is one opinion to have.
Of course, people can always lie, but they also can be caught lying.
that feels like obfuscation fallacy, because I have no idea what you are proposing in practice.

deciding when free speech crosses a line into a nexus to criminal activity like fraud, libel, conspiracy, incitement, disturbing the peace is hard. deciding when it crosses a line into simply violating community standards designed to further the goals of the community and forum owners, and violates the right or expectation of others for civil discourse is also hard.

it's a bias-variance problem, you can ban the n-word but people find other ways to make people unwelcome, a demagogue can say they are just asking questions when they are pretty plainly trying to start a riot and get people harassed and swatted and feel like they will suffer violence if they disagree.

I don't see anything inherently wrong with using AI tools to help make decisions like that. all that AI that controls what shows up in your feed is already implicitly doing that. inherently when one guy thinks he's making a stand for free speech, someone else is going to think he's coddling extremists who are strategically flooding the zone with bullshit, driving out civil discourse and worse.

Things are doing great while:

- Drug usage increasing

- Depression/suicide increasing

- Life expectancy going down as a result of the above

- Homelessness increasing

- People are forced to take gig jobs, but this is somehow counted as fulltime employment.

- Taking people off the unemployment numbers because they haven't been able to find a job for 6 months or may have given up.

- College becoming unaffordable and leading to massive debt

- Housing becoming increasingly unaffordable, middle class households can no longer buy a home (technically to me means they're not really middle class)

I can go on.

Fudging the statistical measures by which we define economic slumps or saying its all cool cause Wall Street is recovering doesn't change what reality is for the average person. Things are getting worse for most people while getting better for smaller portion (wealth disparity increase).

“But the economy is doing great!!!”

Let me tell you, the economy isn’t doing great for people like me. I’m permanently disabled and lost my housing at the beginning of Covid, and I haven’t been able to acquire housing since. For the last three years I’ve been living in a 2001 minivan. Now I’m seeing costs everything go up and the COKA adjustment for Social Security isn’t quite doing it.

Mark my words, were going to have a different party running the country next year. The Democrats have failed people like me, the people that used to be their base, and instead favored the corporate class who allowed the financial capitalist to buy up All the homes so they can rent them at outrageous prices.
There might be. The point is, that's not the narrative we're being force fed.

In the past couple of weeks I've heard multiple news media segments where some talking head is interviewing some "expert" and asking the same question, "Why isn't the public believing the economic news?" Yet neither of them considered: let's ask the public, we can do that.

So here's news on why, and there's a couple disconnect at the top from the middle and the bottom. Yeah, nothing new...until there's an election and the exploited vote to show their frustration. It doesn't - and shouldn't - have to be this way.

Re: mental health

That is because mental/psychological healthcare is completely broken in the US.

Im currently dealing with the system for a family member, and I am shocked at just how hard it is to get help. Ignore the financials, most psych hospitals won’t treat you and have zero interest in keeping you longer than absolutely necessary.

The real problem is teaching children that "reading" is merely decoding words off a page, and "listening" is merely hearing the words someone says.

The book itself is a way to open the door to learning, not the end point. Reading subject titles first, cross-referencing, and working examples and doing projects help teach and cement ideas.

There's techniques like SQ4R [1] for reading, and hugely applicable to general technical and article reading is "How to read a paper" [2]. For lecturers, there's "How to Speak" [3], and for those attending a talk there's the Cornell Notes system. [4]

> But turning everyone into their neighbor's spy is deeply detrimental to social cohesion. We see that deep social divide here, turning tenants against landlords, the continuation of American class warfare.

I just want to second all of the other people pointing out the logical flaws here. It’s rare for people to be neighbors with their landlords and almost non-existent for the large multi family buildings this is targeted at: if your grandmother is renting out a room, she’s probably not leaving the rest of the house empty hoping to creatively renovate out of rent-control laws. This is going to be used against landlords who’ve already broken the “neighbor” contract by letting their buildings decay to the point where it’s affecting other people, and refusing to rent rooms to people who need them because they don’t make as much profit as they want. Those are wealthy people looking for tax shelters, not your neighbors!

As to the class war claim, I believe it’s been noted how the right-wing only deploys that particular distraction when it’s something which helps poor people. I would suggest that starting point for any skirmish in that war might be when a landlord lets their property decay to the point where it no longer meets the minimum legal standard but still expects people to pay full price to live there. Having to clean up the mess they created seems like an impressively mild form of warfare.

It's not really something the federal government can do much about. There is a vast difference between the availability of affordable housing between a state like, say, California, and New Jersey. The latter has far more programs, and far more available stock, and far more perfectly livable, undeveloped land where new housing, offices, stores, etc. could be built for the long term. California, on the other hand, has little to no affordable housing stock, and since it is so hard, already, with the available space to build new single family housing (and because, in the past, affordable housing programs in large apartment towers have turned out to be hotbeds of societal ills, so nobody wants to build high-density affordable housing) prices have skyrocketed and whenever a natural disaster, which is common in California but very uncommon in New Jersey, comes and destroys a bunch of houses, all the sudden a bunch of people become homeless.

All these issues are dealt with at the level of the municipality and the state, the federal government has significantly less power here. Now, I am no expert in affordable housing programs, if someone who has done more research on this topic would like to come and correct me, they are welcome. But this is my basic impression from what I've seen.

My daughter was born 6 months into the lockdowns. At her 15 months checkup, the doctors were seriously concerned that she wasn't speaking at least 5 words (she had 3 down). They believed that she might have trouble hearing and wanted to refer her for more testing. I told them that her hearing was just fine and that testing wasn't necessary. "How could you be sure?", they argued. I told them that she has no problem paying attention and reacting to her dad and I when spoken to. I told them that she has favourite songs that she loved to dance to and that she could hear them when the music was being played in different rooms, let alone different floors in our house. They weren't convinced and started gaslighting me into enrolling her into testing, telling me that the wait to see any specialist was at least 3 months and the longer I waited the worst the issue would be and that my daughters ability to hear properly was solely resting on my decision to not to refer her. I then asked the doctor and nurse if they had children (which I knew they didn't, just by observing how they interacted with my daughter). They confirmed that they didn't and I proceeded to tell them that my parental instinct trumps their authority on the issue.
Long story short, she doesn't shut up now. She's leaps and bounds ahead of her peers when it comes to vocabulary and she loves music and dancing.
Yes, there has. It’s not that hard, they just need houses. Which means they need a population that cares. So this is not a physical matter, it’s a spiritual matter. It’s a matter of the heart.

I don't think your offense was warranted. You've got a chip on your shoulder. Other people may be able to tell but either haven't confronted you about it, because it wasn't worth it to them, or you haven't responded well to feedback.

Either way I recommend reflecting on it.
I only really have experience with FedEx. The app is indeed utter trash. (Seriously, it’s so bad they should remove it until it’s useful.) Even fedex.com is pretty bad — good luck figuring out which address fields end up on the package in what order. The price estimator for different delivery classes behaves truly oddly.

And, having recently had the misfortune of shipping to the UK, eww. The tracking webpage shows problems. The phone support people give actively wrong answers. The customs clearance email team will give useful info if you email them first. And somehow the combination of FedEx + the UK was entirely unable to understand a normal person shipping to a business, and they got stuck needing an EORI. I eventually got the recipient (um, consignee) to send theirs, and the package got unstuck. Never mind that all online info is fairly clear that non-UK individuals don’t need an EORI.

P.S. For US domestic shipping, unless you have actual volume discounts with someone, use pirateship.com or a similar service. If you book directly or, worse, show up at a UPS or FedEx store without a label, you pay much, much more. For LTL freight, use freightquote.com or similar. For LCL international freight, I have no idea — FedEx international appears to be less expensive for single large items that any LCL provider I found.
Tragic truth. :(

I have used one bit spinlocks to protect the wait queue of a more sophisticated waiting primitive for an user-space[1] application. Adding to the queue and signalling all could be done lock-free, but lock-free removal of a waiter before a signal (which I needed to support) is quite complicated, and borrowing a bit from the wait list head field to encode a list-deleter spinlock was the best solution.

Can't the just build housing on federal land?
The economy is doing stellar for the upper classes which account for maybe 10 to 15% of the population. That’s the so-called disconnect that the Biden administration doesn’t understand.

But the economy in general is not doing stellar, regardless. This bifurcation of wealth is going to lead, or is at least a marker, of an instability in the system. The fact that the Fed just decided that they’re looking at lowering interest rates means that they can’t lower inflation because the stock market and housing prices will crash. Housing prices increase because money printing increased.
Certainly, by definition. A "civilisation" is a body achieving an
advanced stage of development and organisation. With shelter and food
being at the base of the needs hierarchy, satisfying those would be a
least requirement for "advanced".
> they extended the time for recent gig work to count against unemployment

Not to my knowledge. Contingent employment has always counted as employment for broad measures; this is why many papers discuss non-farm payroll [1] or even full-time employed from surveys [2]. The problem is these data are less precise than broader payroll figures, and so can't be observed month to month nor even quarter to quarter, certainly not real time.

You're discussing an actual measurement problem, one that's been discussed since 2019 [3][4]. But it's cause for changing the metrics, not caused by any change in the metrics.

> the stock market is inflated by reverse repos

This is wrong, but I'm not sure for what reason. Could you explain why you think this?

Repos are a borrowing mechanism. Reverse repo means lending. Yes, lending boosted the stock market. But we're currently in a liquidity-draning environment, so this is a peculiar complaint.
