Is bottom decile consumption a good measure of economic health? In a way it seems it could signal the opposite, ie in the past the bottom decile was saving that money in an effort to change their economic conditions vs spending it now could indicate a lack of hope for upward mobility.
To your example it seems worth noting that the quality of the air travel experience appears to decline over time as well.
Bottom decile consumption is the best measure of economic health for the bottom decile… it clearly cannot be the best measure across the entirety of the population.
Real physical consumption is by far the hardest metric to game or play tricks with.
Yes technically, some probably are trading a bit of their future prospects for a nicer flight schedule, less red-eyes, etc… But I don’t see how that is relevant at all?
The original complaint cites no minimum land ownership requirement and the judgement does not seem to make specific disagreement with this fact as best I can tell, so that is my understanding as well.
Is there some kind of ambiguity inherent in designated initializers such that the field ordering requirement is necessary for C++ or is it rather just a quirk of the compiler authors’ choices?
Nobody “needed” the web to do these things. We decided that the effort and cost of making native applications was too great. I’d argue we went the wrong way given that even the same browser will exhibit slightly different behavior depending upon the underlying platform upon which it runs.
I just went and confirmed this because it’s not something I’ve really looked at and I agree. The date picker you get from a straight up <input type=“date”> on iOS webkit is pretty nice.
The one in webkit on macOS isn’t quite as good, but is better than the one in firefox if only because firefox closes the picker when you type a year in to move far through time. Good thing firefox is open source.
This is true, but it would probably be good to be specific what is meant by "portable". There is also the dimension of operating system.
It sounds like it has a goal of being "extremely portable" across compilers, (although I'm curious how many compulers it is actually tested against) but only somewhat portable across architectures and operatings systems, just hitting the most popular ones.
The section with heading "Be Extremely Portable" seems relatively clear to me, but perhaps that is just because I already understand host vs target compatibility.
I’d say the increased scrutiny has merely exposed the difference in care between the different groups in the industry. Seems to explain pretty well why both sides are equally confounded by the other’s expectations.
Jared has shipped a lot of things that have impressed me. His software is measurably faster than the alternatives, and I have measured it. It runs code that Node et al can't run, and I have tried. These are normal, everyday experiences with software - based in fact, not vibes. I'm not going to argue every decision he's ever made is amazing, but his decisions have historically tracked above average.
He plays around with a toy project in a separate branch, tells everybody to relax that's just an experiment that has no chance of being merged, then abruptly merges 1m lines of code not seen by a human, effectively zeroing out all the contributions ever made by anyone to bun, including contributions in progress.
At the same time, his arguments in favor of Rust are sound, there is no doubt about that.

Is your reading comprehension poor? Where in that does it say it had no chance of being merged? Do you understand what an experiment and what the purpose of an experiment is ?
Of course he's not writing a legal contract, but to go from saying:

And then fully merging into main in under 18 days is quite extreme
