In theory, it should grow faster than GDP. Because government spending is inefficient but it is able to do things that the free market can't, so poor/less developed country should try to minimise it to enable fast, efficient growth, while a rich country should try to achieve the best results for everyone and that is done through government spending (fast growth is impossible anyway because it's done by adopting someone else' technology and when you are already the richest it's not possible as yours is the best one - fast growth is a catch-up growth).

In addition, it becomes inevitable because with high per capita GDP there is a lot of excess income which people want to invest because their needs are covered, and varying outcomes of those investments (even if purely random, by chance), tend to compound, which results in entrenched, systemic inequality, that might even crystallise into caste system. Only way to counteract it is more taxes and more government spending, so that there's less excess income left to invest, and outcomes of those less lucky are compensated by gov spending.
They are, but typically what automakers will do is assume the tax credit on your behalf and just give you $7,500 off the price of your car up front. They will then collect $7,500 come tax day.

That's a win-win all around, the consumer saves $7,500 off the list price up front, they have to finance less etc, and Tesla gets a tax credit.

They want populism. That requires an enemy. It doesn't, however, require hurting anyone. If you're doing populism, you can either identify a set of scapegoats to slaughter or identify the actual impediments to solving the problems people experience in their lives. No party will identify such impediments, though. It would be very bad for business.
Federal discretionary (non military) spending in 2023 was around $917 Billion. Of that, $131 Billion was Veteran Benefits, and $100 Billion was Health related. That leaves $686 Billion. [0]

Total US GDP in 2023 was $27.3 Trillion...so around 2.5% of total GDP.

GDP grows (inflation adjusted) around 2.3% per year.

US Health Care is 17-18% of US GDP.

So while federal discretionary spending is important, it's not nearly as important as keeping growth up, and getting a handle on health costs.

Dunno, I've had no issues running Linux on laptops for the last 15 years. Had a ThinkPad, a cheapish Acer and now an MSI. All ran Linux flawlessly. My current MSI laptop even has a touchscreen, stylus and fingerprint reader. Everything works flawlessly.

I'd give this laptop to my grandma even. It's great to use. Gives me zero trouble, can't say the same for my wife's Windows laptop.
It's not insider knowledge, it's just the collective experience people have built up over time after discovering issues with classes of ciphers. It would be nice to have a standard checklist that everyone could refer to (think OWASP Top Ten) while reviewing a cryptosystem.
> The “use emacs” prerequisite that shows up frequently when exploring Lisps has been such a dealbreaker for me in the past

It's not a "prerequisite" per-se, although I guess you just never stumbled upon the fundamental truth about Emacs. In fact, it's not just an ordinary editor, it's a "Lisp Machine". Of course Emacs is far from the actual implementation of a Lisp machine, therefore the quotes.

Emacs feels like a Lisp REPL with a built-in editor, and not the other way around. Once you immerse yourself into the world of Lisp, sooner or later you will realize - Emacs is far from the ideal implementation of a Lisp machine, yet it's the best practical one we have today.

Chords, shmords, modes, modality, non-modality, keymaps, keybindings, etc. - that all is just "higher-level interface" you can change to your liking. I consider myself a die-hard Vimmer, never ever thought about switching to Emacs, until one day I woke up with realization that Emacs actually vims better than Vim and Neovim.

There's something "magical" about Lisp - coders either love it or hate it with passion, but anyone who accepts it, with all its flaws and powerful features, those who embrace the dynamism, the malleability of the structure - they may open a beautiful world of countless fascinating ideas. And once someone opens their heart to Lisp, either with sadness or with joy they sooner or later realize - Emacs is just the best practical tool to work with Lisp, there's simply nothing better. Even though "the best" doesn't mean "the best possible", it just means "the best today".
I think you would see a quality difference between 'a monkey mascot' at $40 and $200. The $200 designer is shining a light on his personal brand.

The mascot is friendly, vaguely memorable, well-proportioned, soft, and not attention-seeking. Its expression tells a story, adds humanity, and creates unresolved tension.

The AI ones are sharp and confident and eye-catching, zero subtlety, completely missing the point. I'm willing to bet a $40 designer would drop the ball in a different, equally bad way (probably make it too corporate, or miss the precise "cute but low-effort" spot the original designer hit).

No it doesn’t, at all.

The whole point of the high ground is someone just needs to ‘drop’ something in, which is cheap and easy, but someone on the ‘low ground’ needs to make up all the energy to get up there before they are even at the same level.

The energy involved in de-orbiting something and dropping it to the surface of earth (at very high speed) is orders of magnitude less than it would take to get the same mass to even earth orbit from the surface.

Holding a brick over the opening of a well is a much more credible threat to someone at the bottom, than that someone with the same brick threatening to throw it back out.

I'm a little puzzled by your response.

1. The message was net-upvoted. Whether there are downvotes in there I can't tell, but the final karma is positive. A similarly spirited message of mine in the same thread was quite well receive as well.

2. I can't see how my message would come across as a jerk? I wrote 2 simple sentences, not using any offensive language, stating a mere fact of statistics. Is that being jerk? And a long-winded berating of a new member of the community isn't?

3. A coin flip is 50%. Anything else is not, once you have a certain sample size. So, this was not. That was my statement. I don't know why you are building a strawman of 5 coin flips. 56% vs 44% is a margin of 12%, as I stated, and with a huge sample size, which they had, that's massive in a space where the returns are deep in "diminishing" territory.

I guess it really depends on your usecase.

If you're just _hacking_ a few simple calls, curl is the way to go.

But if you're working in a team, with multiple environments, with complex payloads, authentication, doing dozens of API calls everyday...
Having a software able to manage libraries of endpoints, parameters, simple environment switching, included auth, sharing between team members... is a big time saver.

I personally prefer IntelliJ's HTTP Client[0] since I always have my IDE open, the files are not obfuscated in a gibberish format and can be versioned/shared through Git.
But when I start working on an existing project, having a Postman collection to rely on is a huge time-saver, instead of having to go down in-existent API docs or trying to infer from the code itself.

I have no first hand knowledge, but there are some news articles and forum posts on https://www.mybroadband.co.za/ that will give you an indication of how StarLink is handling it.

Surely international law can't force StarLink to detect where their terminals are. Or force StarLink to block their signals from leaking into neighbouring countries.

They won't market or distribute their terminals in countries where it is illegal.

So it's up to customs to seize terminals when they cross the borders or communications regulators to seize terminals after they came in.

At this stage, I think StarLink is clamping down on roaming because they don't want to jeopardize their negotiations with the SA government.

What part of the federal government is “printing profit,” as you say?
Even if they managed to find 100% savings in the spending they are targeting, they will not make a dent in the budget. Doing that and cutting all military spending would not balance the budget. Most Federal discretional spending is on Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid.

I'm all for cutting this, reducing benefits to current recipients to bring spending to sustainable levels, but to date I haven't found a politician to vote for who endorsed this position.
The reality is I suspect one will use different models for different things.

Low B12 (and folate) levels are also a symptom of tropical sprue, a chronic condition which is treated with B12 supplements/injections and antibiotics. It’s believed the disease is caused by an infection, but the pathogen responsible has not been identified.

A hallmark of tropical sprue is villous atrophy, a symptom usually associated with celiac disease (sprue), so it’s often overlooked.

None of those links are art. They’re stunts at best. I know, I know someone will disagree, but they’re wrong.

The difference between cave paintings, brush paintings, and even photoshop versus AI generated works is that a human had to visualize mentally and then translate their internal visualization into the medium without words. AI generated does not require that.

Artists like Jackson Pollock or more modern instances of digital artists lie somewhere between the two—creating with little intention and little control.

I'm sure I've already made tons of not so friendlies in this thread, why not more.

Why not just cut and run on social security? I've paid in my whole life and probably won't even take a cent from it.

> I've never really understood why some C programmers actually care about the standard as such.

Because I want the next version of the compiler to agree with me about what my code means.

The standard is an agreement: If you write code which conforms to it, the compiler will agree with you about what it means and not, say, optimize your important conditionals away because some "Can't Happen" optimization was triggered and the "dead" code got removed. This gets rather important as compilers get better about optimization.

The hyperbole is a bit much for me. It shouldn't amaze me, but here we are. Partisans are able to construe spending cuts and shrinking the purview of the state, with authoritarianism.

Although I am not inclined to agree, it is fair to dispute specific funding cuts or firings. It would also be reasonable to temper those arguments against the futility of general cut-backs without specific cuts.

Consider a few hypotheticals:

If we accept that special interest groups exist for spending, then it would also be reasonable to accept that these groups would protest cuts in the most hyperbolic way imaginable.

If we accept that the Federal gov. is not free from corruption, selective enforcement, what is in effect "legislation from unelected bureaucrats", or entrenched bureaucracies which oppose the will of the people - If we accept that any of this exists or is possible, it is not unreasonable to accept that some of these bureaus would be cut or eliminated.

It is reasonable to expect that these bureaus and special interest groups would stand in solidarity. They have every incentive to join together and expand the largess of the central government. It makes sense that partisan media groups would paint any criticism or cuts in the most hyperbolic and odious terms.

All of these things are easy to reason about. It is also easy to take cursory glance at the historical record. It is easy to examine the economic and political ideologies of the odious authoritarians which the partisans are so quick to invoke. Where did these odious authoritarians cut spending? Where did they reduce the purview of the state? If we examine this, we will find that cuts and reductions are entirely antithetical to the authoritarian platform. It is a contradiction in terms. For these reasons, I regard the comparisons as ridiculous hyperbole.

Humor me here. How is the following not a non-sequitur, "Cutting spending and regulation is authoritarianism. What we need are more regulations, central planning from unelected bureaucrats and socialism"?

Can anyone here explain that?
Is it really in the model? I haven’t found any censoring yet in the open models.
I think if/when you have children you'll see that these sort of statements are not really realistic.

In a sustainable society every single woman needs to have a bit more than 2 children on average. The 9 months are not so bad though so come with a significant number of side effects and a substantial number of hospital visits, both planned and unplanned.

After birth the real fun begins. At first you'll be nursing every 2 hours, constantly. Over time that changes to every 3-4 hours but that is now the new normal, 8 hours of sleep is a thing of the past. And nursing isn't just whip out a boob and a few minutes later you're done, depending on your baby, his mood, teething, growth spurts and a zillion other factors it could last an hour all the while his hunger for the next window also grows!

And, probably as an evolutionary warning mechanism, the mother will frequently experience vivid nightmare playing out every horrific scenario that could happen, experience anxiety (probably as a result of the former) and so on. That fades over time but never really goes away.

And back to breastfeeding, if a mother doesn't constantly drain her breasts it can lead to infection/mastitis/blocked ducts and all other sorts of fun stuff.

And that's just a sampling of some of the issues (completely ignoring baby himself here) for one child, at which point it's time to get ready for number 2, let alone 3.

This is a multiple years long process that completely consumes your life. Now imagine pairing all this with a 9-5 which in reality is rarely just a 9-5.

There's a reason the West's fertility has fallen well below replacement. This fantasy of doing a great job both as a mother and as a corporate drone, just isn't realistic at all.
