Yeah, but the general standard is for open languages to either have an open debugger (e.g.: V8 JS) or else otherwise have support for an open debugger interface (e.g.: Rust via GDB). It's not strictly unreasonable for MS to offer a pro

That's a fair point, but let's also consider that markets tend to overreact to rate hikes. The public's languid response to the Fed's inching of the interest rate may actually be a desireable outcome. If they were truly

Not to pull the "facts don't care about feelings" card... but markets don't care about long-term sustainability so long as medium-term growth can be expected. Such a correction for unsustainable markets will eventually

Yes, well... they make their own predictions, so it's not really a matter of whether the public trusts the Fed as long as they are internally unified. Public inflation expectations certainly do play a role in inflation, but, as Volck

I suspect that everyone ( Fed, consumers, government ) will be relatively content to float around at 4% YoY CPI for the medium-term now that the "inflation overton window" (if you will) has shifted so much. I can't imagine th

As others have pointed out, the stated goal is 2%. Keep in mind, however, that the Fed's founding mandate is to balance price stability with unemployment. The mandate takes priority over their stated inflation target, so don't b

Wow, that's a real nightmare scenario (no pun intended). I suffer from the same kind of hypnagogic jerks, albeit to a much lesser extent. The one trick that sometimes helps for me is to try sleeping on my stomach. It know it sounds lik

tl;dr: it's a treatment for sickle cell disease and another less common disease that shares a similar pathology. Almost everyone who received treatment were found to no longer need blood transfusions, even more than a year later.

Indeed, it's why sweat was such an evolutionary leap for humankind. Our species didn't necessarily invent the sweat gland, but we certainly did become the sweatiest of the Great Apes -- by an order of magnitude in some measures.

I concur. People are generally very hesitant to recommend fasting, because it is dangerous, but I'd argue that it's dangerous in the same sense as a very intense workout: not inherently damaging, but *certainly* capable of compl

I think a better way to put it is that The Economist has a bias unique to itself. They typically publish articles which are consistent with their own particular editorial voice rather than remaining properly dispassionate. Really, the big d

It would be great in some ways, but it would also have enormous consequences. There is so much infrastructure that would need to be prematurely replaced -- so many consumer durables which will fail years or even decades ahead of their exp

Is this really a shell scriping language? Hush isn't an interactive shell, nor does it compile to a common shell script. The only way to run these scripts is to install the hush interpreter and run the script through it. Isn't t

It keeps rather well in my experience. The cooker is sealed with an airtight gasket and stays at 140F when the feature is active. That's a pretty inhospitable environment for mold, I think. For context: I live on the east coast in Geor

Fancy ricecooker with a keep warm function. It's really convenient to be able to prepare a ton at once and then having it available at the drop of a hat for the next 2 days. It has even led to a decent reduction in my fast food consump

Well... yeah! The magical word is "carbon tax" and economists have been screaming it into the skies for at least the last decade. Nobody wants to hear it, though.

"Free" housing isn't charity or magic. It's a public service paid for by society for the benefit of society. Feel free to criticize the core value proposition, but please don't paint it as some impossible fantasy.

I'm not attempting to back-seat drive the third reich here -- I make software, not war. I'm just interested in gleaning design insight from history. In any case... I do think that, ultimately, the Jerrycan was more useful to the a

I'm more thinking that there are diminishing returns which are hard to justify when the cost of stealing a design remains fairly flat.

Something that I took away was that "good design" can only go so far in terms of strategic advantage. The Germans invested considerable funding, research, and testing into their cans... only to have them copied. Sure, they enjoyed

I don't believe it has yet been established if these ads are downloaded on-demand. If the messaging is instead shipped via Windows Update, I don't think that would create any additional attack surfaces.

FYI: these are in-ecosystem ads (so they all come from MS). The messaging is quite similar what they already do with notifications elsewhere in the system ("Edge is faster than Chrome"). It's still manipulative bullshit, but
