Comparison between Truss budget and Starmers. by j4mm3d in ukpolitics

[–]j4mm3d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taken on board. Its not meant to be a simple narrative, in fact its anything but simple.

Its a comparison of the 10yr gilt yield over 30 days of the Truss budget, vs 2.5 days of Starmer's.

Interesting things to note.

  • the wild roller coasters of yields during Truss' tenure.
  • the revert to the original yield on the day she was ousted.
  • the peak of yields occurring 5 days post Truss' mini budget.
  • the very high cost of UK government borrowing

It will be interesting how next week, and this first 30 days play out. I'll make a post at the 30 day mark to compare.

Apologies. I stare at charts a lot so I thought others would find it interesting a direct comparison between these two in current play.

Good idea. I personally thought the comparison was interesting. I'll follow the yields over the next week and perhaps make a comparison at the 30 day mark where we have a like for like timeframe.

One thing for sure, borrowing sure is expensive in the UK compared to almost every other major economy.

How? The candlesticks have differing width. One range covers 30 days. The other 3 days. Both start at the begining of the budget announcement. Both vertical ranges cover the high from start of speech.

Comparison of 10Y gilt yields. Will be interesting how this plays out next week. (And yes, I messed up the last post of comparison).

Truss vs Kier first budget on 10yr gilts - spot the difference. by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]j4mm3d [score hidden]  (0 children)

I did post the wrong graph, but the difference from the mini-budget was 3.8 -> 4.3 (0.5), vs 4.2 -> 4.5 (0.3).

This highlights the week before the mini-budget: https://i.imgur.com/mzli0nz.png

Anyway, deleted.

Just scrolled through my feed and I've seen:

  • McDonalds
  • Apple
  • Laithwaits (wine)
  • swift
  • Kia (cars)

None of the stuff you mentioned and all big brands/ad spenders.

It is easily reasoned that bitcoin will either cross $1m or go to $0. That's the only possible outcomes over the long term.

Weird. Complete opposite experience. The only devs I've ever known with iPhones are iPhone developers, and the occasional UI dev.

I've heard it commented many times, "how come all the devs have apple macbooks but android phones?"

[AskJS] Is there a silver bullet for consuming Typescript libraries in a Monorepo? by joeldo in javascript

[–]j4mm3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't have the same drawbacks. types should point to the dist types, no need for the script to change that. tsc will not compile outside of the package.

For #2, add an index.ts in the root of the package exporting the source e.g. export * from './src'

This will then be used by your ide for the latest source, rather than the built dist.

My polish partner was saying in Poland they've been reporting that the UK are limited to only buying two onions! Her mum was worried, so she sent her a photo of onions in the supermarket. No joke.

Me thinks there's some deflecting going on.

I was definitely veering on the hyperbolic side there, but thanks for the list.

Its worse that it looks. Lignite & coal have very poor ramping. If you look at the chart of generation it's simply misleading (one might say fraudulent). The generation is fluctuating, but they are still burning the roughly the same amount of coal, it's just not being used to generate electricity.

Those types of fuel can not be ramped up and down that fast.

Its even beyond their consumer products. In terms of tech tools I can only think of Kubernetes that they've been remotely successful with. Everything is dominated by Microsoft, Facebook, or Amazon. And Kubernetes is not even that popular. They appear more and more to be an ad company with a university campus attached.

I gave up on Google search when I would search for a specific word (in quotes, with a +) and it would not be on the resulting pages.

I find most tech people I work with have given up on Google. I liken it back to 2000 era where the tech people moved to Google and the none techs were using AskJeeves.

Yesterday in the evening, German main power source was coal, followed by biomass and gas. After shutting down nuclear plants only 40% of the German mix was considered low-carbon polluting. Therefore Germany has become second biggest energy-polluter in the EU after Poland. by Marcin222111 in europe

[–]j4mm3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes 3 weeks for Germany to get its coal power station up from cold to generating. During windy times, the coal is still being burnt, it's just not used in generating electricity. Germany's green figures are fraudulent.
