> ... and they look at the recession as a necessary goal to tame inflation.

Necessary goal, or necessary evil? I'd really like to see a citation for the Fed explicitly targeting a recession. I used to work with a former senior Fed economist (though, in the capacity I worked with him, he was researching market microstructure, not macroeconomics), and I have another friend who currently works at the Fed. In thhe past 3 rate hike cycles, I've heard lots of talk about the difficulty of a "soft landing" in taming inflation without tanking the economy.

Everything I've heard this tightening cycle has praised the near-miracle soft landing they seem to have achieved.

Taken as a control theory problem, the economy has very noisy measurements, heavy hysteresis, and a relatively long lag for all of the effects of rate changes to ripple through the economy. My understanding is that under-shooting the landing can result in long-term inflation psychologically taking root, creating more problems in the future, so the Fed tends to err on the side of triggering a recession.

I've only read the full minutes of a handful of Fed meetings, so maybe I've missed something. I'm prepared to have my mind changed, but I'm highly skeptical a recession has ever been a goal rather than a regrettable side-effect.
In my experience this is the problem with a great many hackathons. I stopped attending many years ago when I realised the people who made the best presentations were the people who won, not the people with the best hack.

Is it really so simple?

Hasn't human action had detrimental consequence for the environment? And as such aren't efforts to mitigate or undo those consequences a positive?

If that's the case won't the ranchers just pass along the increased cost of doing business to the consumers so we're all ultimately gonna pay for the actions of people a long time ago, which for better or worse, is just how it goes.
You didn’t upset me, I just think you’re full of it and I’m telling you so because clearly someone in your upbringing failed you. Your response is a low effort response because you don’t actually have a point. It is standard reactionary nonsense, which is surprising to see here but I suppose it shouldn’t be too surprised. “Hurr durr, DEI bad, amirite?” That’s you, that’s what you sound like. Meanwhile, literally one of the most monstrous and backwards countries for women’s rights in the world has put a woman in space and is trying to modernize.

Tell me exactly how this is encouraging efforts that have “zero value?” You don’t think Saudi Arabia entering (albeit hesitantly) the 21st century is an achievement unto itself? You don’t think it’s noteworthy or admirable just because it’s not “boots in moon dust” or whatever technical achievement you think is more important? Please. Take your 1930s mentality back to where it came from.

It's extremely hard to write good tutorials. This one is very clear, but seems to have no time budget or reader model. I appreciate the clarity and the extensiveness, but it mainly makes me wish for something different.

Today there are so many IDE's and online coding environments, godbolt, Swift playgrounds, golang interactive tutorials, etc. It would be lovely to see a C++ tutorial join that trend.

I find the tutorial unsettling from the first words: `original, self-contained`. My first step in writing a tutorial would be to link the current state of the art, and the last would be a section pointing users to further resources, if my goal were not to trap readers but to help them. (Originality is a tall claim as the internet spawns LLMs.)

Without any orientation to the landscape, the tutorial proceeds step-by-step with topologically-sorted vignettes that explain themselves verbosely.

hello-world is prefixed by a long explanation why people start with hello-world, and following by 16 paragraphs of (to me) excruciating hand-holding and suggested experiments, without re-quoting the code. It's like pair-programming with someone who tells you what to type.

The original K&R book was breathtakingly brief, mainly just showing you how to do things. Effective C++ neatly crystallized specific problems and solutions. Both benefited most by what they left out.

Outside of an interactive tutorial for newbie's, what's needed for "modern" C++ is an origin story for each feature: what motivated it, how backwards-compatibility shaped it, what design decisions were made, how well it has been implemented and used -- ideally with bonus comparisons how Rust and Swift and Go managed the same issues. I think that would help people remember the complex issues and the syntax, and how to use it.

To me most of the discussion from the C++ originators is more expository than explanatory: `for each opinion, explain in detail with cross-references to other opinions` - the political template. But readers only need to know the distinctions that make a difference in when and how they use a feature.

Actual users are busy and paid only to get things done, not sling words. Users who value their time will pay for a good resource.
You tow it away while it's on fire? I'm wondering if that's even possible. You can spray the vehicle w/ foam and then cover it and then maybe you could move it w/o reignition? Seems kinda risky / might require enclosed tow trucks w/ on board fire suppression? Then there's the question of where you put them once you move them. It's my understanding that they basically need to be allowed to burn (off gassing toxic chemicals) or submerged in liquid for extended periods.

There have been some pretty horrendous chain reactions of EV fires in China. I'm not sure storing a bunch of already defective ones in various states of burn together is safe at scale.
Games are the main appstore revenue driver, and I don't think that game ports have much to do with iOs standards. It isn't like Fortnite or Genshin Impact on iPhone is significantly different than on Android.
The last time I used Craigslist to apartment hunt, people spam the listings with the name of places 30 minutes away for some reason, as though I would just give up on living in the neighborhood I was searching for if I saw there was something somewhere completely different at a price that wasn't even that good.
Honestly, I'd be very surprised if coyotes filled the niche formerly occupied by wolves. Coyotes rarely exceed 40-50lbs and they primarily eat small prey like rabbits and squirrels with the occasional fawn. Wolves are 2x-3x as large -- they do hunt some of the small game but they'll also take deer, elk, and small bison.
I stopped checking the news every day. Usually once every few weeks. You might think that this would lead to me being less informed about the world but I actually don't feel that way, even as my intake is still decreasing. Anything big will be highly visible and you'll see on many platforms (arguably this is news, but you all know what I mean) and people will be talking about it. I'll then look it up and read about it to get some information but don't let my life revolve around things I can't change or influence. Generally I feel a lot less stressed and happier. Around elections I read up a bit more to catch up but that's about it. There's just so much going on all the time that there's always going to be things to report but the difference is if that information can help me in any way or if that information is actionable. By getting the news late you'll also get it once there's a bit more clarity around the thing, often helping you actually understanding it.

Certainly there are downsides too, but for me this has been beneficial. I just don't need my news to be scary TikTok (which I also refuse to use) and having my attention running on high at all times. It's too much for me to handle. YMMV
Yeah, 2023 and reflowing documents still isn't a thing. Yay
I'm not recommending this as a strategy, but someone I trust told me this story.

They were a hiring manager. Candidate looked good on paper. Invited for on-site interview. At the on-site, the candidate didn't want to answer questions. They just stated that their race and gender were discriminated against in this field and if they weren't offered the job, then they would sue. My friend consulted with their boss and the lawyers and they decided to offer the person the job. They were qualified and they turned out to be good at the job.

Does it? Wouldn’t it just need to be economically viable and isn’t that something that could be calculated? Aren’t the losses significant enough to pay for a fairly large program? If not, why is this a concern to ranchers? And wouldn’t most of the collars not be used and be more like insurance which we already have and use on most herds?

Your summary dismissal without consideration and downvote don’t follow common sense. And let me tell you a lot of the biggest market opportunities are found inside of places people tell you you’re an idiot for even exploring. Be mindful. Stripe and Gusto and oceans of others were solved problems.

If it’s a big enough problem to support an insurance industry surely $10 worth of pepper spray and a $50 reusable collar would be in budget.

Go low tech.

In my experience, there are very few places where a paper & pencil or pen solution fails. It is definitely more involved, but there is something encouraging about it, visually present. This is not the case with an app; it takes multiple steps to consciously dig the projects to the surface.

I have a to-do list on paper in my office and in my kitchen. It is a roll of paper, that I keep pulling down, and rip off items that I completed.

In the office it is in a Steno pad, while in the kitchen in a "wall mount note roll" (search for it for visual).

The wall mount note roll works for the whole crew in the house. Everyone knows what needs to be done. It is satisfying to tear down a part when completed.

I like Steno pads because they are not too big to travel with, and when walking around I can shove it in the small of my back. Anything smaller and my giant hands cannot write into it, anything bigger and it becomes cumbersome. Also, I know shorthand which freaks out most younger execs when I take notes.

I hate it, but it just works. I hate it because it is in my face, it reminds me every time I walk by that the gutters need cleaning, or that report needs submitted. No way of not "opening the UI".

this is a computer not a car, 48v seems overkill and dangerous.

components use 12v, 5v, or 3.3v in pcs currently. why do the step down from 48->12 instead of running 12v naturally? 12v is also what is used by the most power hungry components of a PC (GPU).
You have to use an envoy proxy in front of your service to be able to use it for web. More infra to manage, and I don't think you get the same features as native gRPC.

gRPC was designed with http2, so it's not like you can swap out the transport with websockets.

There is the grpc-web project which uses HTTP1, but it sacrifices a lot of features that the http2 version offers that you might as well just use REST instead for public-facing services.
> Android has billions of active devices, the Switch is a tiny system in comparison so it isn't a dominant player.

But it is in console gaming. Even if you include Xbox and PS5, the Switch's market share of consoles is far higher than Apple's of smartphones. And of course, Switch absolutely dominates if we're specifically talking about the handheld game console market.

So what I'm asking is: How is Apple a monopoly in a market where they don't dominate and there's lots of choice, while Nintendo is not in a market where there are 3 vendors that matter, and they completely dominate the handheld segment?

You can write better code with the current language than you could with previous versions. So, keep up if you want to write better code. Stick with the old stuff if you don't. To me it is an easy choice.

Every new Standard has some features few people will use. Those are easy to identify and ignore if they don't solve a problem you have.
It gets worse than that at some places. I was just in Vietnam and some restaurants offered discounts if you left 5-star reviews. In China, a place actually went as far as confirming you'd left the review by viewing it on their device (literally refreshing until it appeared) and then keying in the discount.
OK, thanks for the response! I was just curious :)

>Cows are treated very well in all the ranches I've been on.

Unfortunately, that's the minority of cattle and AFAIK it's not really possible to replace all current meat production with the kind of treatment you're talking about, even if everyone was willing to stomach a big price increase.
Sounds good to me. Each to their own. It'd be boring list if designed to avoid value judgement.
If we’re moving to a new standard I’d much rather we standardize around 240V DC with an improved plug design.

You’d have HUGE savings on the copper required for a standard home, plus you’d get a substantial increase in power capacity.
I am not an economist, I do not even play one on TV. So forgive me if I sound naive.

That said, it seems intuitive that inflation and growth would be linked. Inflation means that there is more demand than supply, right? In response to that increased demand supply (and the number of jobs) are increased by profit seekers, which creates growth.

Its a non-issue. The number of ranchers that could posisbly affected is minuscule at best, and the law permitting the release of these Wolves also allows for any rancher that loses a cow to a wolf to be reimbursed by the state for their loss. A vast majority of these "ranchers" are millionaires and billionaires in the first place, and the loss of a cow to a wolf will be insanely rare. These animals will hunt deer, rabbit, and elk whose populations are literally out of control.

Most of the noise opposed to this release is generated by wildly ignorant or malicious people who don't even live in Colorado to wind up other reactionary, low-information people and make it look like liberals are releasing dangerous predators into a "red" part of the state to harm them.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

> But because of better monetization options, I sometimes dabble with the idea to build a native mobile app.

Likely not in this case.
The limit is space, really. Well, that and money. If you're willing to pay, you can probably convince your utility to hook you up to three phase power, which is typically reserved for industrial use.

If you want to stay with your normal residential circuit, in the US they're commonly 100 or 150A. 200A isn't uncommon, but you might have to pay for an upgrade.

That leaves you with 200A*240V=480kW minus whatever you need for normal house things.

So probably more compute than you have physical space for.

In the simplest sense, because they already have source for the driver, and not for the firmware.

More broadly (no pun intended), NIC vendors want to work with Linux and the GPL means they have to release the source of a driver to do so. No such legal requirement applies to firmware.
Their monopoly status is why they can get away with it; don't copy them. And don't forget that their early attention to UX, with a spartan UI, and famously fast and good response is what made them succeed in the first place.

Users are deciding that chatGPT offers a better search UX in some cases and abandoning Google.

So the answer is "No, unless you are a monopoly, and even then don't push your luck."
> How come there isn’t a predator collar that releases pepper spray when wolves go in for the throat kill?

The wolf collar was invented for this and dates back to Ancient Greece:
