How're you getting to 5% loss YoY due to inflation? Estimates on inflation for the USD rarely top 3% for years during the last few decades [0]. Certainly there might be an uptick this year but extrapolating that to "You'll lo

This is one hell of a take. Give me a stable financial system any day. If, by understanding, you mean, realizing that having a centralized entity with a mandate to keep inflation to stable levels so the monetary supply doesn't swing wi

My impression from “work in progress” was that they’ll continue to be evaluated and evolve as time goes on. Seemed like a decent faith attempt to try the things out. I didn’t know, for instance, that without upgrading iOS they wouldn’t work

The newer seasons, while not as good as the golden era, are fairly decent in my opinion. I stilly try to catch a new episode when it comes on on Sundays and they seem to have picked up some steam. The newer episodes feature all sorts of cha

Certainly some familiar names on the top 100 accounts ranked by karma totals but seeing the username “toomuchtodo” with some 48,000 internet points gave me a pretty good grin.

You can turn it off by enabling “show dead”.

This seems to assume a lot and generalize very broadly. It’s entirely plausible someone would deny doing something illegal while being placed under arrest.

Regular expressions? I really enjoy using them and futzing around but I encourage the people I work with to stay away and to avoid using in production when possible.

More capacity than a bus in cars seems unlikely given that they probably wouldn’t be packed to capacity most times. I guess if you purchased say, 40 honda civics? There’s a lot of other considerations to consider here as well. Cars and vans

That makes a lot of sense, I've updated a lot of DNS records, but not generally in a planned manner.

It looks like you would be correct! Although the 27,000 metric tons appears to have been on point. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-56547383

I always was under the impression people lowered the TTL when updating records... which doesn't even really make sense since the change won't propagate until the previous TTL is overrun anyways. Then you were supposed to update it

I read it was six, running 24 hours a day, which moved 27,000 metric tons of sand. Which, sounds like a lot of sand to me. Seems like software engineers would have the best understanding of slowly but steadily working towards a goal since t

The tweet the author quotes says "It's 2021, why aren't you programming in Clojure? It's time." If... you were in a software team, and said... "I think Clojure is the best choice for this project because the ta

I’m pretty sure “having a sweet tooth” just implies you like sweets a lot.

Looks like a pretty standard holding pattern. They seem to have carved out a sort of area that other ships don’t come into much, then they drift with the currents and winds until they approach the outer bounds of their “parking space” and b

Learning through encounter seems to parallel a lot of human learning though. The question is, can it then apply partial applications of learned techniques to create unique offenses and defenses in novel situations I think.

Orangutans are very endangered due to palm oil production. I haven’t donated here [0] yet but according to Charity Navigator [1] it seems okay. Once I get up and moving I’ll chip in a few bucks a month. I also do the Cheetah Conservation Fu

That makes sense, thanks. I kind of like the idea of based meaning grounded... too bad I didn’t get there first. “Should we split this out into microservices?” “Only when we’ve identified an acute need for the increased complexity in our ar

Lil B tha Based God was definitely where I heard it first. I think it was something with Lil Wayne a long time ago. Most slang I can suss out but I don’t think I ever had any idea what it meant to be based then or now. Grounded?

Of course the intent matters. There’s quite a difference between a mother in a warzone holding their kid and saying “it’s going to be alright” to assuage their fears and Bernie Madoff saying he was going to invest people’s money judiciously

Did this as well a few years ago. Was a pain in the ass. Never log in anymore and use my messenger account to communicate one on one with friends occasionally.

Should we plan for the special needs children though? I mean, certainly, reprioritizing when you have one makes a lot of sense, and we should as a society invest to make sure these children lead fulfilling lives. But... bringing up special

That may be so but it can never be as efficient as not shipping it halfway across the world twice in the first place! Of course that’s a big change, to bring those jobs back to the States of course with tons of implications and potential ou

I was under the impression alcohol impacted B vitamin absorption though, so this may not work? I looked it up and it seems to be suggested that it does but I didn’t look long enough to find a study.

One estimate probably includes shipping emissions for food and one doesn’t would be my guess. Of course, plant based burgers might not reduce total final product shipping emissions but they might reduce a lot of the intermediary shipping em

I was pretty incredulous until a cousin poster started talking about auditing, testing, red tape, out of date systems, and security. Seems plausible it could balloon.

My impression is a bit of inflation won’t be the worst thing for Americans and the world. It will boost our manufacturing as imports become less desirable and exports become more attractive. It also tends to boost economic activity in the r

This is akin to the idea that Bitcoin's energy use is fine because of the fact there's no military to defend it, however... I don't think the world adopting BTC and crypto currencies would cause armed forces to disappear so t
