I don't know whether you can tie that inflation to ubi-like measures(alone). The whole world suffered high inflation, not in the least because of the global disruption of the supply chain.

The latter.

(I really liked both movies by the way).

Paying for results sounds efficient, until you start thinking about what those results should be and how you'd prevent policy makers anyone politicizing them and educational institutions from gaming them.

Suppose you lived in a village where there was no outside news. You'd learn of about two murders and a dozen deadly accidents in your lifetime. Imagine how safer you'd feel compared to a villager who's getting outside news beamed to her face every hour of the day.

I'm not advocating isolation, but our primitive minds are not able to really understand that what is projected in front of us is not the same as what happens in front of us. I don't know how anyone could solve that.

Maybe the next step is the introduction of tests to see whether you are a true American in thought and appearance before an ID is issued.

I'm amazed too because I had a genuine Mandela-effect moment here. I really thought they'd had gone bankrupt years ago.

I stumbled upon The Knick (2014) recently, a Steven Soderbergh directed two-season series about a hospital in 1900's New York.

It is truly visionary as it is the perfect picture of the Golden Age the current administration seems to long back to.

Shouldn't that be "vocabulary nazi mode"? :p

Or Unpoly. I've been working with it for a month now and it's a real pity such a robust library it gets so little attention.

Where did you read that?

"Lazy single moms". Nice.

If you don't want to I understand completely, but could you elaborate on what the dysfunctional parenting entailed?

Does the increase in complexity also bring a comparable increase in value?

Do the gains of increased complexity justify the investments they require?

Even if they don't, we don't often dare _reduce_ complexity, marginally decreasing gains while massively decreasing cost.

Well, maybe.

You can maintain or increase the value of your IP (and therefore tour company) by _showing_ you're investing in the protection of your IP.

After all, the value of IP in your books is subjective. That perceived value increases if you can report you've "removed thousands of links to pirate versions of our content". So in that regard, battling piracy is money well spent.

It's also a question of IP valuation.

Media companies have IP as an asset on their books. Battling piracy is a means to defend the valuation they attach to that IP.

As the saying goes, you pay a consultant to look at your watch and tell you what time it is.

Sometimes this means consultants bring you back to the right perspective, sometimes it means they don't add any value.

This is by the way a pet peeve of mine. I see this all the time, and can't understand why people won't keep the default functionality of a simple link.

(No offense meant to the creator of the website we're discussing. It's the general trend of replacing fault tolerant browser defaults with JS that can break or removes standard functionality that bothers me).

So if I get this right, there is an infinitely small possibility that a cracked egg returns to its initial state. Imagine that happening and being put on video. We'd all believe we're living in a simulation and witnessed a glitch.

No-one would believe the scientists explaining that although highly improbable, the uncracked egg does make scientific sense.

Yes it does. A diagnosis helps you better understand how you're wired and work with that. It solidifies the fundaments of who you are.

I have an Addams Family pinball machine. There's a flipper in the middle of the playfield that automatically kicks the ball if the ball passes through a certain lane.

That too is AI, according to the machine's manual.

This. It reminds me of IBM pitching their services to Trump at the start of his first presidency.

I use it for a rewrite I'm doing because tracking state on both back- and front-end got too cumbersome.

I'm using Django, and a big positive of using unpoly is that I can write views like a traditional Django application and have a reactive frontend.

It does mean however that heavy pages impact front-end reactivity. So if there's only one tiny element that needs to be updated on the front-end, that takes more time than if the backend would only have to return a template partial (htmx) or some JSON (alpine).

Also, the documentation is really a reference. You need it read it front to back a few times to understand unpoly's capabilities.

It's strange that there are so few tutorials about it, because it's been around for a while already, it really has its use and it is still under active development.

What edge case does fly.io market to?

Just to say there are libraries to help you find n+1 queries too (when your code is running).

I use https://pypi.org/project/django-nplusone/ for instance. Sentry also warns of these by the way.

Just the other day I was wondering about a search engine for small, personal blogs.

I frequently stumble upon interesting blogs, add their feed to my RSS reader and then never read them again. But I'd like to be able to keep them as a repository to search through.

Of course, such a search engine would have to be maintained almost by hand to prevent gaming its index. Maybe I'll create something for myself and self-host it.

The question isn't answered, except for one sentence that says illustrators had a field day depicting a large beast.

Also, nowhere is it said people believed the beast to be a werewolf.

A reminder that headlines that start with an interrogative pronoun usually have little substance.

This. Have each department be responsible for their own P&L and out the window goes whatever (brand, vision, ...) glues your organisation together.
