Surplus money doesn't just sit around uselessly.

It provides both self-insurance and an inheritance budget.

So many unexpected things can happen. Market crashes, property damage or loss, health complications, need for unexpected long term care, a family member hits a life bump, etc.

The peace of mind of being prepared, and the ability to solve unexpected problems without stress, protect one's quality of life.

And any remaining surplus can go to loved ones, or a charitable cause one cares about.

And you get budget flexibility too. Give oneself a raise later. Go on an unanticipated adventure with an unanticipated new love. Buy that 100 year old scotch for your 100th birthday!

Given money (generally) grows exponentially, it doesn't take much surplus initially to accumulate a large surplus later. It is a huge opportunity loss to not plan for a surplus.
The fix in your edit isn't an obviously workable fix though. When talking about the rich, it's best to talk about private corporations -- because that's really how the operate.

Firstly, do you want to prevent corporations from taking loans against their assets? Preventing that seems like it would be quite detrimental.

Secondly, how do you differentiate legitimate corporate expenses from personal expenses? Is a billionaire having one of their corporations rent a yacht from another of their corporations for a business meeting with another CEO who just happens to also be their friend a legitimate business expense or a personal expense? What if the yacht rental company rented it to the CEO's company instead?
I'm guessing a lot of China's reason has to do with the Taiwan strait. For all the advantages tanks and IFVs have over helicopters, they aren't especially good at moving across 100 miles of water.
My experience was different. The single biggest change I had to deal with in a zillion places was change of str from bytes to unicode. That wasn't just a syntax change. It forced me to chase down all the places where I'd been handling treating strings like bytes because it worked 99% of the time as long as I was only dealing with ASCII. No amount of clever AST re-writing would save me from those earlier mistakes.
Tons of small businesses rely on advertising. Tons of legit businesses only exist because online advertising became easy and widespread.
Good point. I measured it for 10^6 loops:

(1) 40ms for inline code;

(2) 150ms for an inner function with one expression;

(3) 200ms for a slightly more complex inner function; and

(4) 4000ms+ for an inner function and an inner class.

This is a restatement of my post with a restriction to tiny scripts. I don't restrict myself to _tiny_ scripts, some of my libraries are substantial.

Keeping the number of dependencies reasonable is probably the most important factor, rather than lines of code.

This isn't a static website we're talking about — WordPress is probably one of the most attacked web software in the world given its footprint.

WordPress doesn't do LTS releases or backports either.
They're not trying to seem foreign, it's what happens when a foreign culture starts spreading. In that sense McDonald's has certainly played its part, but mostly because a lot of people use rules like these somewhat subconsciously.

E.g. this

> The Deppenapostroph is not to be confused with the English greengrocer’s apostrophe, when an apostrophe before an ‘s’ is mistakenly used to form the plural of a noun (“a kilo of potato’s”)

This also happens in German these days even though in this context it makes almost no sense. And nobody is trying to copy McDonald's here.
I agree! Nothing I wrote disagrees with that:

The phrasing "evolved in the past due to the influence of" has a more expansive meaning than "influenced by."
I have found Nim more useful/usable than Python + Cython since about 2014 for my personal use cases and almost always much more efficient on a "per unit of effort basis" than Go. At least if you are willing to write whatever code you need or link in C/C++ instead of relying on people gifting it to you.

I think the ecosystem leadership position Python finds itself in lately may well make Py-core silly enough to think "our users will tolerate our breaking-all-their-code antics no matter what". I suggest a more consenting-adults alternative here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41790766
appreciate the response here - the question is who are these high-risk payment processors? have you worked with any you can share feedback on?
To be fair, they're not exactly wrong. Worth repeating with N=10,100,... until we get a robust conclusion, but as it is, there's not much to go on in this one
Actually even further: They also don't modify/mutate any arguments. If they did, then that could raise problems with concurrency.
I wouldn’t mind because that’s what Linux agreed to when they chose the GPL route.
My thoughts are that any language that can embed other languages in it has the capacity to be a global lingua franca. English was firstest with the mostest.

"Election Skeptics" refer to people whose candidate didn't win, or as you said, who deny Joe Biden's win in 2020.

Opinions varied widely on that - the Flash experience on mobile was horrible enough that it works equally well as an argument that “the web” and Flash were substantially not the same.
Or stuff like "cow" (from Old English) vs "beef" (from Old French). Which kinda makes sense when you consider who grew meet vs who ate it.

It's a pretty common thing worldwide, though. French played a similar role as upper class marker in many other countries that were influenced by it when France was at the peak of its global dominance. For Slavic languages, German also played this role at one point, and IIRC there is something similar historically with Chinese in areas in its cultural dominance.
I'm not exactly sure myself, but every time I open one of the pages, I mentally stumble over the formulations. I think there are two components:

1. The biggest part is that I've simply never seen documentation written in this style, any mentions of "I" or "we" are usually explaining the choices made by the author(s). When skimming documentation I pay more attention to those parts. Here those parts don't have a comparable meaning.

2. The smaller part is that the writing style reminds me of the way brands use mascots with first-person writing to advertise to children. There's not really any other association I have with this way of writing, and it makes me feel like the author either isn't taking the project seriously, or me.

I'm not trying to argue that the documentation should be understood this way, or that it should be changed - but I've stumbled over this multiple times, and can't imagine that it's just me.
Maybe young (and/or non-sexist) writers just don't care or aren't obsessed with knowing and explicitly talking about someone's gender, when it has nothing to do with the message.
This was already true of the internet. IMO staying within relatively curated spaces keeps the occurrence of this kind of noise low.

The issue of the public not being able to tell truth from fiction has existed since the beginning of society. Every improvement in communications technology has led to a massive increase in propaganda and confusion that spikes and then eventually levels out as people learn to tune it out.

Increasing the rate at which people can deploy lies has happened many times in history. This is just one more instance.
Nice. Yup.

These days I'd vastly prefer tests with declared tuned daemon profiles, as they cover a much broader amount of systems tweaking than just CPU governor.

isnt the ISO "format" just a disk image, same for .img, when you run `dd if=file(.iso|.img) of=/dev/sda` you're just copying the bytes from one file to the other, so what really defines the .img or .iso "formats" other than the file extensions?
Your creation led to younger me becoming a much better person. I learned when I was being a know it all vs Insightful or Funny. Probably the single greatest learning environment ever created. Yeah, probably would have gotten more work done without it existing, but I wouldn’t have social skills or know as much correct facts about everything. Thank you.
You can make that claim, but the fact of the matter is that the US is a representative democracy, and our elected representatives make the laws. We are free to choose other people for the job if we want different laws. The vast majority of people were not lucky enough to be in a situation where their bumpkin ancestors just happened to possess a large swath of land, and so we don't vote to protect large swaths of inherited land.

They owe taxes? They can pay them. They can afford to pay them because they have inherited assets. "Oh no, they're gonna get a diminished inheritance. What a disaster." I'm not getting one, and neither are most of the people in the country. They'll still have their inheritance, they just won't have the land. And they aren't entitled to it if they don't have the money to pay their taxes.

I hadn’t listened in Dookie in a very long time. Then my kid and I were talking about music and she wanted to know what kinds of music I streamed back in high school. :)

That turned into a talk about CDs and led into listening to Dookie with my eight year old. The album has aged very well. As an adult, I find that different songs are more appealing now than they were as a teen and in other cases, age has warped the meaning of the songs.

But as an album, it stands up really well. There are some other well known albums from the nineties that really haven’t stood up as well. I’d recommend another listen!

Though, “I declare I don’t care no more.” :)

Either accept it as possible or not, this is just plain stupid.

I've had a very similar experience, and have been slowly moving from zod and ts-rest to @effect/schema and @effect/platform/HttpApi as well as migration to Effect Match from ts-pattern. There is a learning curve but its a pretty incredible ecosystem once you are in it for a bit.

I think the real turning point was typescript 5.5 (May 2024). The creator of typescript personally fixed a bug that unlocked a more natural generator syntax for Effect, which I think unlocks mainstream adoption potential.

I didn't realize the Nobel specified that the only work which mattered was that of the "scientific" variety.
I've started using Deno for some small hobby scripts and projects, and it's been really good so far. Their LSP server and VSCode extension are way faster and better than the default one, and configuration for a new project is much easier. Plus all the things like `deno fmt`. In comparison Bun only ships the runtime, without any of the tooling niceties.

I think I wouldn't use TypeScript without Deno now :)
Interoperability is great, walled-garden integration is a trap like any sort of bundling. If someone wants to create a suite of products that work well together that's fine so long as they employ means that allow other products to integrate as well. Google has gone the other route and created a suite of products and services that integrate in ways that exclude competitors.
I mean, when I first tried to open the website it just wouldn't load on my iPhone, so I tried on the laptop. It took ~10 seconds to load. I just assumed the bitcrushing was more issues with bandwidth and badly compressed images rather than a design choice. But your comment made me sit through everything to see if i could really get it. I guess I can recognize the work that went into this and the concept behind it... having said that, I am definitely not the target audience for this website and am struggling not to write an extremely negative comment about green day and 90s nostalgia

Well, confirmations are essentially always emails. Your kids may not care about those but adults pretty much have to.

But yes I do generally like it even if a lot of chit chat, appointment reminders, and the like have migrated to messaging.
There's another thing that no one really mentions within this context and it's that people who are saving usually want to retire into something better, not the same slog they've been living while saving. That's why it's ridiculous when you read these FIRE forums and people get feedback like "Why do you need more money if your spending is only X".... well my spending is only X, because I'm saving to build a war chest for financial independence where I can actually live a better quality of life than I do presently.
No, it is used to signal the person's gender doesn't matter. Being angry about other people not fixating on gender by demanding everyone always explicitly define it with every pronoun is used as sexism signaling, which is what you're doing.

You don't know why other people choose to use the words they do, yet you presume the worst and accuse people of being insincere and lacking virtue despite (and because of) their polite behavior, regardless of their true beliefs, when it's actually none of your business to police and judge their grammar.

I'd rather work with someone who purposefully signals they have virtue than someone who purposefully signals they're a sexist asshole, any day.
Why, it just should be opt-in:

The Python maintainers have switched from considering backward compatibility useful but costly to considering it actively harmful; there was a campaign a few years ago to convince library maintainers to stop making their code Python-2-compatible:

> The Python 3 statement was drawn up around 2016. Projects pledged to require Python 3 by 2020, giving other projects confidence that they could plan a similar transition, and allowing downstream users to figure out their options without a nasty surprise. We didn’t force people to move to Python 3, but if they wanted to stick with Python 2, they would stop getting new versions of our projects.

(https://python3statement.github.io/)

I know this sounds like a joke, and you probably think you're misreading, but no. Projects pledged to require Python 3 by 2020. They made a promise to break backward compatibility. Not just a few minor projects, either; TensorFlow, Spark, IPython, Pandas, NumPy, SymPy, Hypothesis, etc.

Since that happened, everyone who considers backward-compatibility good (if costly), rather than evil, has abandoned Python.

The "other users for whom python is an foreign, incidental, but indispensable part of their work (scientists, analysts, ...)" would have to fork Python, but it's probably too late for that; they can hardly hope to fork TensorFlow, Pandas, etc., as well.
I can tell you're high because #2. The only way Neuralink is secure is if we get rid of the system that incentivizes #1, aka capitalism, and not replace it with something equally bad or worse.

Oh, and Musk isn't allowed a Neuralink tripwire to blow up your brain via his invention because he saw pronouns listed somewhere and got triggered.

The citation has a large section on the impact of DNNs on physics research practice. They cite mega-projects that depend on this tech, for example. Hinton's inventions are a contribution to physics, not a contribution in physics. Hopfield of course was a bone fide physicist.
You inferred an awful lot from my comment. Which, I get it, makes a certain amount of sense given that you're attributing 'noble' to people using wealth as the metric.

I'm not focused on the person, nor how deserving they are individually, I care about how this benefits society.

Let me put this another way. I think that the majority of billionaires essentially won the lottery, and that a typical small business owner brings more real, actual value to society. For every one Musk or Bezos or Gates, how many equally intelligent people tried but were in the wrong place at the wrong time? I think the collective value of a lot of really intelligent people is much higher to society than the guys who got all the right things lined up at the right moment. Does Bezos have skill? Yes! Does he have skill proportionate to his wealth? Not a chance.

Hell, I'll even admit that Musk is clearly skilled in business. Luck can't necessarily explain all of it. But he rode the wealth rocket on the back of TSLA, a company he did not create. It wasn't his idea to build electric cars, but maybe we can credit him for figuring how to make them a sexy and sought over status symbol.
When governments and related agencies implement this it is called no wrong door.

I like it. It doesn't have to take any effort. When you hit reply on an email sent to the wrong person, add the correct email to the field with recipients. That's it!

In something like Slack, you write the answer in the correct location for the question. That's it.

These are tiny changes that don't cost anything but can decrease friction a lot, because the nobody has to repeat themselves any time someone has gone through the wrong door.
Who knows but I doubt it.

It's probably more about people complaining they can't run Next or some other framework on Deno which directly impacts their business (Deno Deploy).

I honestly don't want my validation library to "tell a story" at the expense of documentation clarity. It's absolutely fine that this project uses it, I don't want to impose my view on them - I guess it's just not the validation library for me.

Apologies, a little slow here (probably because I was in high school when this album came out)...what are you actually buying for those listed prices?
There's a whole industry based on overpriced, "limited edition" nostalgic merch. Traditionally, "prints" (i.e. posters) for bands, movies, and even individual star trek episodes are huge. If you set the limit right, you're barely limiting sales at all while convincing people what they're buying is somehow more special and worth more money.

Art of the past is cheap and plentiful. Instead of doing multiple runs of an unlimited poster and bothering to keep it in stock, you do one run can call it "limited edition". Then you move on and mine the next anniversary.

This site is unusually slick for such a venture, but Dookie is a bigger deal than most albums, and the prices correspond to that.

You are making loaded statements using Orwellian weaponized terminology. Now that I have the time, allow me to explain.

One conspiracy that I beleive is that there's a deliberate campaign to conflate the nation-state of Israel, the religion of Judaism, and a particular ethnicity (Ashkenazi). These three things are not the same.

Even in isolation, these three concepts are ambiguous. For example, the nation-state known as "Israel" cannot be equated with the biblical nation of "Israel." The "religion of Judaism" cannot be equated with "Rabbinical judaism." The concept of Jewish as an ethnicity does not exist because there are multiple Jewish ethnicities.

Another conspiracy that I believe is that The conduct of the the nation-state known as "Israel" is largely the responsibility of a specific group of oligarchs who hide behind the meaningless word "Jew" to fabricate a false narrative and evade justice. This specific group of oligarchs associated with the nation-state called "Israel" happens to practice a particular interpretation of rabbinical Judaism, and they employ the tactic of monopolizing mass media to wage information warfare. They also influence world governments and perpetrate genocide, among many other immoral schemes that are exceedingly evil and sophisticated.
