Parts of North Dakota are a good example of the impact of the fluctuating oil markets. They experienced an economic boom, with more jobs than manpower which spurred an influx of people, new housing development, and growth in the local economies. Now that the price of oil has collapsed, it's left towns in financial despair:

VSC is really, really great. Meanwhile, the previous free VS's were not as full-featured, none of them run on OSX or Linux, and some Windows users still prefer GCC for various reasons.

If you're trading, USO is fine.

If you're investing on a longer-term horizon (a year or more), the monthly futures roll where the USO fund sells the current month's oil contracts (because it doesn't want the actual oil to be delivered) and buys the following month's oil futures (normally at a higher price than what it sold the current month's at) will eat into any returns you get from price appreciation.

To put some numbers to the example, let's say the fund has 100 barrels of oil, and the current month's price is $20, and next month is $21. When it rolls the contracts, it sells 100 barrels for $2000, and buys 95 barrels, with $5 left over.

Fast forward a month. Prices have gone up by $1 for all months oil. It will sell 95 barrels for $22 ($2090, plus the prior month's leftover $5) and buy 91 barrels for $23, with $2 left over.

Fast forward another month. Let's say you owned the entire fund and decided to liquidate it. Prices for your contract have gone up another $1, so you sell your 91 barrels for $24, receiving $2184, and adding the extra $2 in cash you had gives you $2186. That's a 9.3% return in two months.

Compare that to the price of oil as reported in the news - it's the front month contract, so on the face of it, oil has gone from $20 to $24 (20% increase) while you've only made 9.3%.

The numbers are somewhat exaggerated here, and it can work the other way (current month more expensive than forward month) but is uncommon. This is why USO has historically been a bad long-term proxy for the price of oil.

I think that most Japanese would believe that a future Japan that wasn't majority Japanese was no future at all.

From the nationalist perspective, you're essentially saying "to save Japanese society we must destroy Japanese society." To these people Japan is more than just an island, it is Japanese.
The Slack client looks nice but it's incredible how inefficient it is (presumably due to being a web app in an Electron wrapper). I used it recently on a low powered laptop and keystrokes sometimes took 100-300 msec to appear on screen. No other text entry application on that computer had that problem.
They borrowed it mostly from themselves though which makes it more complicated and much less of a problem than it might at first appear.

Even in cities where most people don't frequently cook and often subsist on eating out, takeout, and delivery, I don't think most people would choose to completely get rid of their kitchens.

That being said, this is an interesting thought-experiment and I'd certainly like to see more experimentation with non-traditional houses, tiny houses and microhouses, apartments, and living spaces.

Especially for young people just out of college and looking for inexpensive housing in big cities, I'd think apartment complexes that were more like college dorms with lots of built-in facilities that take care of tasks for you like cooking/laundry would be appealing to many.

Unfortunately however, I think that in many locations certain things are mandated into legislation that would prevent or at least make this kind of experimentation legally challenging. There's probably housing code in most regions that would make a kitchen-less home impossible to legally construct. This kind of legislation ostensibly exists to protect people, but as many people increasingly realize, often does the opposite.

The netbook boom was nipped in the bud by Microsoft licensing. They gave away a free version of windows on it with heavy restrictions. Consequently hardware manufacturers brought out new models but stopped improving them (they topped out at a measly 1GB of RAM, upgradeable to 2).

They quickly died out because of course they did. That's a ridiculous restriction.

After my old one died I scoured for ages trying to find one that didn't adhere to those ridiculous restrictions to no avail. There were ~35 models available with a 2GB RAM restriction and zero without. The next year there were none.

Actually the decline is far worse (21.1%) for the classic slate form tablets. Even though they are included in tablets, the iPad Pro or Surface Pro are closer to a laptop in spirit than a tablet.

Have you watched videos of spiders eating their prey? It's more horrific than what we do in most cases. They paralyze them, wrap them up, let them sit there to contemplate their demise, and then suck the blood out of them while they're incapacitated and conscious. Spiders are but one example of the horrific predator/prey dynamic in nature.

And to be clear, I'm just as horrified by our treatment of animals as you are but I've learned to make my peace with it. I'm just hoping that lab-grown meat becomes a viable alternative some day and we don't have to grow animals for food.
Calcium and magnesium work together, calcium is necessary for the activity of the nervous system and magnesium for regulating the calcium. I felt no ill effects when taking both, their positive effects seem to add up. Perhaps I had a deficit for both of them. You can test if you have deficit by taking a supplement for a week and if yo feel better, then it means you had a deficiency, but otherwise if you run a blood test it could come out inconclusive (I am not a doctor).
QtCreator on OSX has proven buggy for me in the past. I tried to give it another try recently, and it depended on a version of Xcode that is 2 version numbers ago. I'd have to edit the various installation assertions myself to get it to find and use modern Xcode.

Considering that we are still moving out of an ice age I don't really expect are burning oil to be an issue that will have a noticeable effect. Consider also that crops do better as CO2 concentrations rise. If anything the world can easily use and withstand a little warming.

One other interesting thing to consider, we really are not even using a good percentage of land that could grow food. There are many parts of the world that because of conflict do not fully use the lands they have and in many western nations the majority of land is held by government and not open to use.

> Unfortunately, the spirit and praise of the web in Remy’s post isn’t shared by many of these articles. To the contrary, the web development community is flooding in skepticism, negativity, and pessimism.

I started building on the web a year or two after Remy. I believe one reason for the lack of praise is the reason people came to the industry. He & I came because we loved the web, we loved to see what could be done.

Today, the web's an entirely different commercial being. People do this as a job (as do I, which I'm very thankful for), they have less time to see what can be done (constructive contributions take effort) and time is money, so let's develop fast and move on, slagging off everything as we go.

I've been jaded, I'm guilty of being negative about everything.

But I do see hope.
I say the long goal is "interesting things", but doing so while minimizing destruction.

I take the daily recommended dosage which is marked on the container of the meds, which comes about 400mg/day. It is important to select the right type of magnesium, as they come in many forms (oxide, citrate, taurate, malate etc). I used magnesium citrate. Magnesium oxide is very common but has less efficiency. If you take too much it could cause diarrhea.

The PC market is 40 years old, so it's a fair bet that, in the developed world, pretty much everyone who wants one has one.

The real problem is that a decent PC will now last five years (on average). This means sales of PCs will halve compared to when they lasted 2.5 years, even if usage stays exactly the same.

If smartphones only last 18 months, smartphones will sell at 3x the rate of PCs even if usage is the same ;-)

Otherwise, I disagree somewhat about the "decline in technical innovation" in the PC market. There's been a huge amount of innovation in Windows (adding apps, touch and pen support, voice-controlled AI, cloud integration etc) and in Windows hardware (smartphones, tablets, 2-in-1s, PC-on-a-stick, all-in-ones etc).

Seems to me the innovation is well ahead of user (and developer) adoption, which may be the real problem....

To be fair, there aren't even really great experiences to be had with a good android tablet. The OS and app ecosystem simply isn't good enough for big screens.
For one thing, a method service management that does not just fire off commands but monitors services and restarts them if they fail. Also, doing this with an idea of dependencies of services.

Event-based service management is interesting, too, e.g. shutting down a network service when the machine is disconnected from the network and restarts them when a connection becomes available again (think NTP, DHCP clients).

Once you have an idea of how services depend on each other, you get the ability to start services in parallel for free (whether that is so useful or even a good idea is another question).

Given the fact that systemd is hardly the first attempt to solve these issues (think SMF on Solaris, launchd on OS X, or the couple of attempts on GNU/Linux), I think a lot of people have felt the itch to improve on the classical SysV init.
Why should I expect that to result in us killing each other over arable farm land, any more than we're killing each other over arable farm land now?

> Doesn't that equipment get sold? If not immediately, then eventually, modulo the odd pipe that gets bent or rusted in storage.

A lot of it, no. A lot of equipment is built on site and would have to be destructively disassembled to be moved, but just leaving it there without using or maintaining it will cause it to rust or be damaged by the elements. And even the equipment that can be resold and still physically exists would have to be transported back to the site at significant expense. A lot of the sites are in remote locations.

> And those people are largely available for the jobs they're experienced at when jobs are available, so they aren't "destroyed" either, they're just idled. Some will move on, some won't.

The "some will move on" being the trouble. You have somebody who knows how to do a specific thing not many people know how to do, you lay them off and they go find some other job doing something else that pays about as well, move house, put their kids into new schools, now you want them back. Good luck with that.
That sounds right. Slates are great for children to play games on and watch video, they're also great for grandparents who want to read their news app and want to email or have facetime with the grandkids, but for other adults, they want something akin to the detachables which offer more flexibility.

> Unless you meant they should join a gym and increase their expenses, thus increasing the amount of work they need to do to pay their bills.

On what planet is a gym membership required to maintain a healthy lifestyle? How's this for an option: instead of owning/maintaining a car and paying for car insurance, ride a bike to work. Now you've killed two birds with one stone.

> internet connection

How about instead of paying for an internet connection you go to a library or hang out at a coffeeshop when you need to use it. Or go in with a neighbor to get it cheaper.

> any current debt (student loans, car loans, mortgage, personal loans, etc)

Sell the car, sell the house, and as far as the student loans go, consolidate them and pay the minimum for as long as you need to.

> So yeah, just cut all those expenses by 10x, have a job that allows you to work less than 20 hours/ week from anywhere, and have a altruistic goal that can also be met remotely without interacting with anyone ever.

Most people's expenses can be cut by about that much if they just give up the luxury of owning and operating a car and move to a region/neighborhood that has much cheaper rent (or take roommates gasp!). I have to image if your very survival depended on a 10x decrease in your expenses you'd be clever enough to make it happen.

> Oh and also, be a programmer - remember that an altruistic life is reserved for very specific niches of society, altruism should never be the goal of the huddled masses.

I don't remember me or anyone else ever saying that in this thread.
