Some (many? most? IDK) gold sellers are scammers. They will sell you overvalued stuff and insist it’s extra-valuable because of some feature they made up. They are the ones being loud on the web and making you hear about it all the time. So, if you hear an ad, and buy gold, you’ve probably fallen for a scam.

But investing in gold by itself is just like any other commodity. And just to say, the rule on that last phrase is valid for almost everything (it’s absolutely valid for stocks and investment funds).

Yeah, doesn’t look like APL to me, but I don’t know it well enough to tell for certain.

Either way, that much code in a language that is at least as concise as APL… what is this? a full office suite?

The amount changes all the time, and depends on what you define “money” as.

Almost every country (every one on the WTO) publishes monthly volumes. Here’s the one for the US if you consider that money is cash and the contents of all the bank accounts:

That “M1” is a standard definition, that is easy to search for any country.

If you start to add things like credit card balances and government papers that can be used in most large transaction, you arrive at the other definitions. There’s a wiki page for them:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_supply

The M1 to M3 set is an international standard, but many countries add other definitions to their publications.

EDIT:

And of course, I didn’t tell how the amount changes.

Each kind of money changes by its own particular process, that is actually quite obvious once you think of money that way.

Cash is printed by the government, and destroyed mostly by it too (but some times by accident). It’s a form of government debit.

Bank deposits are created when banks make loans (that is, they get somebody’s money and give to another person, but still keeping the first person’s money on their account), and destroyed when the loan id paid back.

Credit card debit is created when people buy stuff on credit, and destroyed when they pay it back.

And so on.

Yeah, let’s pretend the vibe-coder creates praiseworthy code when everything is working…

I hope all those companies go bankrupt, people hiring those CEOs lose everything, and the CEOs never manage to find another job in their lives…

But that’s a not bad second option.

Early 80s: High level structured languages (Hello COBOL!)

Late 80s: 4th generation languages

At least before that people just assumed everybody that interacted with a computer was a programmer, so managers didn’t have a compulsion when hearing the name and decided to fire all programmers.

Yes, I’m not doing almost any of the things we do at work in my network.

I’m absolutely not running the same software. I’m not organizing the information the same way. I’m not using the same infrastructure abstraction, and even less configuring it in any similar way. I’m not writing the same languages.

The work environment is dictated by consensus between many people, with varying expertise, and weighted by how much work one is willing to put into each aspect of it. Each of those parts lead to bad tech, even though they lead to good people organization.

“Everything I do at work, I try out at home first.”

Absolutely no fucking way! And anything that touches work is isolated, their opsec sucks so much they didn’t even realized they mandate “security solutions” with known backdoors.

I’m trying to test it for a couple of weeks already, but I got stuck not achieving the necessary tolerances.

One edits files in place, interactively. The other edits streams i.e.batch processing.

You want sed -i -f -

ed is also the precursor of sed, and of some other dozen of commands.

No, we don’t. This is a completely unrelated problem.

Keep your requirements orthogonal, people!!!

Somehow, despite being the standard it doesn’t come installed by default in any distro I’ve tried.

They all insist you use sed… that bloated thing!

To be fair, the biggest footguns are the trigraphs, and now that I tested those do require a flag in gcc.

The digraphs are just hard to search, never used operator symbols.

As kolanaki already said, but as a general rule: if it’s simple, probably everybody already knows it.

But if you are sure you discovered something nobody else knows, you can always bet against some companies and tell it to everybody. If you didn’t need internal access to discover it, it’s legal almost everywhere.

If the Global Economy can be destroyed by something a random person can discover in a garage, it’s up to the Global Economy to deal with it.

The process to decide to turn power plants on and off isn’t air-gaped.

Wasn’t Claude the one that broke the camel’s back and made people start to make that joke everywhere?

Some species are just perfectly adapted to their niche…

C developers were already writing dynamic arrays before computer data was running through underseas cables.

Aws/Clousdfare are both large, pentagonal blocks that span through all the width.

What is Microsoft doing?

Whatever it is, it’s not part of the modern digital infrastructure.

If DNS breaks the right way, it can fix the AI problems!
