What do you mean? It’s a different scale that has the same ‘unit length’ as Celsius, but it’s not the same. Also, it’s very much ‘current’ in the physics context.

I think her argument is that while QE on its own is not necessarily inflationary, as it increases base money supply but not necessarily broad money supply, fiscal deficits are inflationary due to them ending up directly as broad money. And…

Those are standard climatological periods. You need that for data to be comparable and make sense. I would expect the skeptics to put in at least minor surface level effort in trying to understand the thing that they’re skeptical about, bu

As the sibling commenter says, maybe it’s worth reconsidering the approach somewhat? As in, I do get the reasoning, but there are valid situations where one might need to do this for their own reasons. So maybe there’s some way to make it c

A fork is a fork. If Elm development was open to the community and the author could’ve just added Node support to Elm do you think Gren would exist?

Well, yeah, but Elm can’t have corporate backing (apart from NoRedInk where Richard Feldman is CTO) for the reasons outlined in the article. It’s suicide to pick Elm for important production applications when you know that the escape hatch

This I agree with completely! I’m a big believer of “when in Rome”. As in, try to be idiomatic in whatever language you need to use. I once saw a Python codebase where someone had tried very hard to write Java in Python.. That was equally h

It doesn’t have to be all or nothing though. I’ve definitely seen (and written) functional Python in ‘real applications’ sprinkled here and there in an otherwise normal codebase. In fact, I’d wager that any Python programmer worth their sal

Carthaginians were neither Roman nor Greek. In fact, for a long time it was assumed that Carthaginian child sacrifice practice was just Roman propaganda about their enemies. I fail to see how acknowledging that Berber ancestors likely pract

Apparently it’s shifting as we speak, Wikipedia disambiguation page for “Europe” already lists “European Union” as one possible meaning: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe_(disambiguation)

People also often say America, when talking _only_ about a single country there called “United States of America”.

Ah! When I first visited Britain what stood out the most to me was how much chitchat there is between strangers in public places, especially on the train. Something I hadn’t witnessed anywhere else in Europe. Also, something that made me fe

There’s this book called “Deep Work” that some people (me included) like. From the things I’ve taken from it one is “embrace boredom”. Basically, being bored these days is a skill that takes development. And it really does wonders to having

Rust is certainly a descendant of ML. It just adopted curly braces to make it more palatable to C-ish people. https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/influences.html

How many children do you have? From people I know it’s only single-child parents who co-sleep. Reason being, when the next child enters the picture, it’s pretty harsh on the toddler when there’s constant waking up, so having them sleep sepa

Note that in this interest rate environment banks don’t need to buy bonds in order to get 4%. Currently the Fed’s reverse repo facility provides more than that.

From what I’ve read about logging in the Amazon this wouldn’t do much. Basically no one would care about your deed unless you have boots on the ground there.

Imagine ten sailors on a ship, each facing a different direction and trying to coordinate their actions by shouting ‘left’ and ‘right’ to each other. - Turn it left, no, I mean the ship’s left, not my left!

I can’t, there’s some short people living in my house that depend on me waking up before them to wake them up and bring to places. But I’ve always been curious about people doing non-standard sleep things, have you tried it? Can you share s

Super interesting, thanks for sharing! The 20/10 wake/sleep cycle sounds close to how I might function if it wasn’t for daylight cycles and social obligations. Actually, mostly the latter.

My late grandmother used to see dreams of passed away relatives long before she died, as in decades. She told that she enjoyed having a good chat with them, and that the important part is to politely decline if they want you to follow them

Everybody already _is_ the main character of their story by default. For most people work is just one plot line, likely not even the most important one. A good manager realizes this and accepts that the only choice they have here is to choo
