   If it only happened to bread, sure. But at some point it has to be inflation if it ends up being across the board. So its not just bread, its bread, soda, car, houses, a computer, toilet paper, meat, etc. Sure, it may or may not fit the cla

   For sure, projects like war and the military industrial complex don't help. But while the tax base has grown larger, infrastructure has also grown larger. There are many many more miles of road to maintain, many more miles of cable, ma

   There is a term that lines up with this called the Eliza Effect. And yea, it can definitely be an easy trap to fall into. Some people here are making suggestions he is mentally ill, he very well could be, but I dont think there is enough &#

   Just taking a stab in the dark, I guess we won't know until the M2s are out. On the site by the researchers, they have been in talks with Apple since 2021 about this. To there may be a fix in the M2. However, we won't know for sur

   He has a point in some areas. Combat jumps for example. They are largely unnecessary and to be honest, may be a relic of the past. Warfare has gotten advanced enough where putting troops on the ground via a C130 and parachute may be obsolet

   Or another way to put it, it actually requires effort to make it work, but it requires no effort to not make it work. Its about like saying "hey that kid is drowning! I could swim and go save him, but instead I am going to go get a Slu

   I think a lot of people were expecting them to because this WWDC marks 2 years since transition to Apple silicon and two years ago they said the transition would be complete in 2 years. So it begs the question, is the transition to Apple si

   This is where it is difficult to judge from where I see it. The last company I worked for had great insurance, really great insurance and this CostPlus in most areas can't beat what I would pay through insurance. However, I am in a new

    Thank you. I see so much that people conflate some issues has having been a direct result of the pandemic. Its like, nope, the pandemic just made the problem surface, but the problem has been there for a lot longer. With nursing, it is keep

    Meanwhile we are using devices to type on HN that use that same slave labor from a totalitarian state. Why is it energy we draw the line but not the latest iPhone or the chips in our alarm clocks.

    Wow, sorry to hear that about your father in law. It might not have even been a case of going through motions, but it could be a coping mechanism also. When people suffer a big loss, it can cause people to do weird things or actions without

    I am not an expert, but here is the extend of my understanding. What your paying for is not necessarily the instruction set, your paying for other things. So, lets take ARM as an example. When you pay ARM, you are buying a license, which I

    I do think it is getting harder, but that is not necessarily bad at all. One big bottleneck in science is the technology to do experiments. A lot of the discoveries that required lower tech are for the most part over, now we need some serio

    I'll need to play around with that. I just started doing a serious dive into Rust about a month ago.

    I think I just ran into this issue about a week ago. I started working on a task manager written in Rust using the Cursive library, which provides like an ncurses TUI. Heavy use of callbacks, but all callbacks require a <'static>

    The math is the curious one. I don't really see a good argument for it. The author does mention discrete, which is really important, but the other maths are also. Okay, maybe not for every developer/software engineer, but it is im

    I got out of the Navy in 2018 and I have experience a rather different tale. I found many enterprising people in the military, but all somewhat naive. The amount of pyramid schemes and get rich quick schemes I've seen people do or try

    I do want to throw in an alternative. Is it cultural, or are we all disconnected from the communities we live in because we now all view our communities as existing online? People used to be able name everyone who lived on their street and

    I think the important thing to note though, is this was not always the case? Catholicism and evolutionary theory have a rather strange history where it has changed stance several times. The recent Catholic church has not been opposed to it

    Even though I am a fan of emacs keybindings, a really good example of this is when launching spacemacs for the first time where it prompts the user if they want Evil mode (vi keybindings) or Holy mode (emacs keybindings).
