I've started my journey with the StartBodyweight program [1].

I had great results using it in my youth, marking my progress using mspaint, and having a few friends do it as well.

I remember doing it every other day. Also some of the progression jumps were a bit hard, but always doable.

PS: if you open the image, you can replace s1600 with s3200 for a readable resolution.

From my past experience, Datomic uses the same approach, ie, multiple reader nodes and a single transact node. However, it's much more locked in with AWS, as it uses Dynamo and S3 for backing (maybe others as well?).

This is an exciting project, congratulations. I'm looking forward to the docs on embedded usage, and also which languages are supported and how to configure them. For now there seems to be quite a few unikraft/app* repos with such examples.

>The current government did a lot of price control of certain products (mainly food and services).

Unfortunately, this seems to me like a populist/demagogic measure. We have tried it (a lot) in Brazil, and whilst it made some people seem better off (such as richer regions, like the SE) whilst others lost a great deal of purchasing power, it also caused massive shortages and the rise of a black market for common goods, with pretty hefty mark-ups and waiting times.

> The food production chain is not so dependent on imported goods, but it's one of the main products for export. When international prices go up, domestic prices rise as well.

Good point! It was (and still is) a major issue here. For example, today our domestic prices for fuel (gas and ethanol) and all commodities that we export (sugar, soybeans, iron ore, etc) are very correlated to the international prices.

> Argentina has tons of debt

So did we during our inflationary years, and both private loans as well as loans for public expenditure of all spheres, which were made so as to not raise taxes, and even to pay salaries (not even to make investments). Looking back this sounds absolutely bonkers.

Today our debt is rising fast, but it's mostly internal (BRL-denominated bonds). I wonder how much more of it (and combined with what else) would kick off the inflationary process again.

Sure, that's an usual explanation. Quantity Theory of Money, which goes back to Copernicus.

One could point out to different ones as well, such as Nitzan and Bichler's "differential accumulation", in which, having technological/growth difficulties, the ones who benefit most from stagnation are the ones who can jack up prices the most (entities who control most of the supply, with most mark-up power). Read: inflation.

There are many other views as well, I just pointed out one which I like.

Is the Argentinian inflation being "fought" by any government program? I've studied a lot of Brazil's hyper-inflationary period, and boy was it difficult to overcome it. Basically, once the industrial growth went below the inflation-rate everything went (slowly) belly up. It happened at two distinct times: one at Kubitschek's presidency, and the other during the military junta. Trouble is that our economy became "indexed" everywhere, so people would mark-up their prices at inflation+x%, then the _actual_ inflation would be the forecast+x%, which is an exponential process. After two decades of failed attempts, the solution was found via a financial reform, done all throughout the 90s, and then a modern copy of Germany's anti-hyper-inflation Rentenmark program, which created the Real. The solution (or so the mainstream history says) was to create a price "anchor" for everyone, which was pegged to the dollar (one of the main culprits were the large devaluations vis-a-vis the USD, a vicious cycle of inflate->devalue->inflate->...), and at the same time attracting foreign investment via a large real interest rate (far above the remaining inflation). What we are going through now in Brazil is a slow reversal of that, inflation is picking up again, and the central bank's actions are seemingly slowing down the economy and not being able to control inflation (so long, Phillips Curve).
