I agree! I the US we have focused more on branding the positive aspects (local, organic) and socially stigmatizing the negative (e.g. labeling smoking). But as I mention above, that ends up making a class distinction more than real change.
Well, the flip side is that the CocoaPods developers are all volunteers (right?). They aren't really deriving any benefit out of the work they do on CocoaPods, and if you ask them to take on financial or ongoing maintenance obligations for a volunteer project, they probably just won't do it. The major benefits of CocoaPods existence go to iOS developers, but there's a tragedy of the commons effect here, where no individual developer is willing to pony up money for the extra convenience that CocoaPods offers.

I think that long-term, the solution will be the Swift Package Manager, and CocoaPods will just be deprecated in favor of it. Let Apple host iOS packages; they're the ones that gain the most benefit from easy iOS development; they have the developer expertise, and the hosting costs are a drop in the bucket compared to iCloud & CloudKit. But that's not all that helpful for people who need an Objective-C package now.

This is conventional wisdom, but I don't think it holds as much muster as you think. Point #4 is a red herring as they add considerable wealth and convenience to the lives of the people that consume the services listed. Point 1 is a consequence of point 3 which is a result of the outsourcing/automation of labor. Well that's not coming back, because automation isn't going anywhere. We have to be a service-sector economy for the next few decades (until that starts to get automated too).

People have bought into College, because that seems like the path of least resistance to cushy white-collar service-sector jobs. This is more or less true, though I have met more hiring managers than less that care way more about acquired skill than degrees. Whatever, I'll grant #1 even though I think it doesn't have to be that way.

#2 is the one point on your list that is the most salient and controllable issue pertinent to the generation wealth gap. Land is a fixed resource, but housing doesn't have to be, but baby boomers show up to local elections and vote their interests to artificially tie their ownership of land to housing. Our parents paid waaaay less for housing than we do, and yet we put up with elected officials who maintain the status quo of strict zoning policy that results in over-priced, artificially scarce housing stock. Who can blame them? They leveraged themselves into a stupid investment, and the only reason that it pays off is because they vote for it to continue to pay.

I could probably afford a house in a mid-sized American city, but I refuse to purchase one. I refuse to reward the stupidity of the housing market with my dollars. I'd rather a greedy real estate developer have my money and lobby for the local government for density than award some dumb homeowner.

I was asking what the incentive would be to go through the computational effort of creating a block in a system that doesn't involve money.

And we're getting married later because 'adulthood' starts later. It used to be the case that you could support a family with a job you get at 18.

If you did go to university, it was easy to pay for and generally not too hard to graduate in 4 years. A bachelor's degree was valuable. Today, good luck graduating in 4 years. Not to mention, a bachelor's degree is worth far less, graduate degrees or dual degrees are the thing now.

By the time you go through university (5-8 years), work your (probably unpaid) internship, and get a job that gives you so much as a hope of a decent, middle class life, you're probably 25-28 years old. And unless you found your future spouse in university, then there's at least a year of dating, a year or two of engagement (since wedding venues are damn near impossible to find), and you're getting married at 30+.

Anyhow of course that's above the average, plenty get married young, but then again, plenty are poor too. Poor people can get married younger by skipping the whole university thing, but then that does diminish their income potential for their lives. This is what I did, then went to university. Now I'm still 30+, albeit married, but no kids yet.

Anyhow, the point is, marriage generally comes as a result of financial stability, not the other way around, though you're right that it does reduce expenses, if both spouses work. But because of cultural constructs, stability needs to exist before people couple up.

I suspect many of the binary-in-git cases could be better handled with just a bit more work on the part of repo maintainers. There are many package managers that work well with binary files, for instance, and part of the build process could be calling out to those. Then you'd have a nice separation between assets that are generated from code and assets that are generated by some fiddly manual process.

Everything you've said throughout this thread is a series of highly opinionated, subjective rationalizations. Yet you continue to deliver these rationalizations as if they're incontrovertible facts. Most of your comments honestly read as if you think you're talking with people who don't deal with this stuff—gasp!, including design and designers—every day ... like you're pitching a sale with a client. Come off it. We are all professionals here, and most of us can see our way through the pitch.

...and one of the major complaints about things is that GDP growth has entirely decoupled from wage growth meaning that Top X% intervals each reap more most of the GDP gains. Not to mention that when most think of a "middle class job" they think of getting paid $60k to $120K which (outside of being decidedly upper middle class) means that there must be a huge chunk getting below $46k.
Why use "map!"? you're already working on a disposable copy of your data, there's no need to mandate "in place".

Could this be done with one gsub regex?

Finding divisors is often hard when your number is large. It turns out the condition that a number n can be expressed as a multiple of two other numbers is equivalent to there being a number z less than n except for 1 and n-1 so that (z^2 mod n) == 1.

This condition is the basis of the Miller-Rabin primality test. Sadly its a bit hard for humans to implement this algorithm for mentally proving primality.

GDP per capita is only the average right ? Because nowadays with the income inequality, I would consider looking at medians to be more accurate. And millennials are not the only generation currently alive so even a median would not help here.
A problem with this data structure is that it's not self optimizing. Suppose you insert a character after every other character (not common, but easy to do with a macro). You will end up with a link-node per character. On the one hand, the size expansion is probably fine because the undo records of other data structures would equal it (if they support unlimited undo). On the other, all data access now involves pointer chasing for each character. This could be bad for screen update, search, etc.

The doubly-linked list of gap buffers method is somewhat similar, but is self-optimizing because adjacent small buffers can be merged.

>This is very much not slavery. It's terrible, it's fraud, and it's arguably indentured servitude, but it's not slavery. Calling it slavery is an insult to people who are owned and chained.

Actually trivializing it because it doesn't meet some ideal of what slavery should be is the actual insult to people who have to live through that hell life.

And the people indeed are or have been "owned and chained" would have no problem with calling such an injustice slavery too. That would be actually petty of them...

Not to mention that historically and globally there have been many forms and traditions of slavery and servitude -- including similar debt schemes, used even back in ancient Greece and Rome.

0: p2pacman - Bittorrent powered pacman wrapper

(2) https://wiki.debian.org/DebTorrent

I believe scaling this could happen with either: 1) lightweight filesystem\directory versioning support, like how btrfs allows you to mount snapshots. This way, peers could update whichever version of a torrent they have. Or 2) very reliable means to update to the latest torrent release (as reliable as syncing with peers), which afaict means smarter bittorrent clients that can perform DHT-based "crawling". Those recent defcon(?) "hacks" to query peers for similar torrents based on user pools and connection histories (or something like that) would make sense here.

A cool side-note: In one of my few experiences diving into `.git`, I diff'd it before and after making changes to its tracked sources, like adding files and modifying them. It looked like a torrent that included version control data would make out just fine if an updated torrent expected similar data in the same location. Again, a smarter bittorrent client would need to sort some of this out. See also 0': Updating Torrents Via Feed URL. Anyway, most users would probably leave that part out, in favor of only which parts they need.

Millennials are indeed richer than their grandparents, which is the comparison you're making here. But not their parents.

But GDP per capita is not a good statistic to be making this argument with, mostly because it is a mean rather than a median. Since 1971, much of those gains have gone to the the top 1%, and essentially all of those gains have gone to the top 20%.
I'm not the commenter you're replying to, but maybe they meant that we've only reduced early causes of death like disease etc, but not done anything to affect our internal biological processes that cause aging. As an example, reducing skin cancer by staying out of the sun keeps you from prematurely aging, but it doesn't stop your hair from turning white and your wrinkles from forming.

If random access and/or standard FS operations (i.e. ls) across the WAN are desired, GlusterFS is a good choice. It's what I used in a past project with success and what Facebook uses internally. If you know exactly where your resource lives and don't need access a bucket as if it were a directory then S3 is awesome. For random access or FS like use, S3 (native or via FUSE) is pretty laggy.
If I could give ten upvotes to this comment, I would.

To be a slave is to be the formal or informal property of another. It is to be considered subhuman, and all the dark implications that go with that status.

Pretending that the lowest pits of wage-slavery, as described in this article, does not qualify as slavery is the mark of the cruel and misshapen.

I became really interested in this a while back after watching a fascinating BBC documentary about fasting. It stated that cancer could not grow in the absence of IGF-1 (a growth hormone secreted in response to protein ingestion).

Anecdotally, in the UK many older people will claim (A) Young people spend frivolously (B) Young people don't work hard enough or "as hard as they did" and/or (C) Their success was "their success".

> Russia didn't mean to shoot down a commercial airliner. They thought it was a Ukrainian military cargo plane. Of course, when they found out it wasn't, they tried to cover it up because

But when they were found to have done it, it was covered up. And yes, because it would have interfered with another lie of theirs, not that it's a defense.

> Russia backs the Assad regime, because they want access to Syria's port on the Mediterranian Sea. ISIS threatens the Assad regime

As I said. Russia doesn't care about ISIS, Russia cares about a handy puppet state. If ISIS turned back-around into Iraq Russia would stop fighting them. If Russia kills more people than ISIS in freeing the country they won't care at all.

> we should be backing the Assad regime too

Hmmm, yeah. No. Shooting ISIS is awesome, helping a dictator is not. If we actually collaborate to help Assad hold the Syrians hostage, we're as bad as ISIS.

> Exactly. So how do we change that? Simple: we don't, because we're not willing to

Because you're far enough from the problem that blowback rarely hits you. If you actually faced even a small percentage of the problems you caused from it you wouldn't be able to lose interest so often.

The truth is that ISIS isn't a big issue to the USA as long as oil flows. You're not willing to - for the cost/benefit in this case.

No, in fact Western powers sold Iraq poison gas to avoid the issue.
