With a state pension, a government can exclude people from reaping what they have put in, retroactively. I don't expect to be able to claim a UK state pension -- they can just keep putting up the minimum age from 65, to 66 to 70 to 75 to 80... until the scheme is removed entirely.

Whereas with private pensions the values go up and down but are unlikely to hit 0 and stay there -- unless it's really mismanaged!

This is similar to the Robert Solow's 1987 quip, "You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics."

Is a big part of this what exactly economists are measuring, and either they're right and we're just too close to see it, or they're missing important stuff when they measure.

Even a half-time minimum wage job in Santa Clara county would bring in $11K/year. That's not a lot of money, but it would help tremendously if they're so strapped for cash that they are having trouble buying food occasionally. $11K/year would also pay for quite a bit of retraining.

I've got no doubt that it would be really difficult to take a low-pay, low-skill job after working on the other end of the spectrum for decades. But after two years of no employment, it seems like the appropriate action. Two years of working as a cashier or a janitor or just about anything else looks better on a resume than two years of no employment.

But I'm also aware of the fact that I'm fortunate to have an extremely good job and I would spend a lot of time looking for a similar job before showing up at Papa John's with my resume.

Probably. It's unlikely we will be upgrading to 128 bit computers any time soon. 64 bit words are enough to store a double precision floating point number and enough bits to directly address 18.4 exabytes of RAM. The jump from 32 to 64 is a huge leap and any issues we were having with a 32 bit word are solved for a much longer period than the jump from 16 to 32 bit.

I use k9, too, but that doesn't mean I want the state government enforcing my use of it. That is censorship, and censoring at the hardware/manufacturer level seem very wrong to me.

Simple Website at first. If your service is showing promise with that, and your users want the convenience of an app, build app.

I think it was in fact written during the big bubble, although my memory may be a bit off.

And the same economist. Krugman's name did not ring a bell for me then.

The monad laws are defined in terms of equivalence of values. So if your promise is not a value then you can't even begin to talk about whether it conforms to the monad laws or not. If `Promise(someWebRequest())` starts performing the web request immediately then we can't talk about it as a value (or rather, in order to regard it as a value we have to elide some aspects of it that are actually quite crucial, such as the web request being performed).

You're maintaining two apps anyway b/c there is the client and the server. The OP didn't say it explicitly, but I'm assuming they are already building the server side no matter what and need to at a frontend. The backend development already builds a bunch of objects that will need to partially reimplemented in the frontend. It's just a matter of how many of them.

My two cents (to the OP) is that you should consider the people or teams building the thing. If you have one team doing all frontend and backend, doing it (almost) all server side makes sense. If you have a dedicated person doing the frontend, commit to a js framework and make a good API to the backend. Certainly don't make a frontend JS guru render html in Java or .NET.

It's the response that your website gives me when I try to go to said link: " Advertising revenue helps support our journalism To read today's stories, please turn off your ad blocker or subscribe"

I get that your company needs to make money, which I greatly understand and get. However, asking me to quit my adblocker or otherwise disable it is unconscionable. Advertisement servers have been one of root ways drive-by attacks are dome on users, combined with Javascript attack ads that end up with millions hacked. Forbes themselves, with a day of implementing the same Adblock-shaming techniques ended up being the site that infected 3 million with DDOS clients.

I am not against subscriptions, or static advertisements. You have to make money as well. But there's ways to run effective advertisements without alienating users.

But, if a program demanded you to disable your antivirus, would you? (That's the kind of situation I'm at).

Ancient historians rarely made truth a priority when telling stories like these.

How do you know that the mandated software wouldn't be useless crap as well?
I saw some news about price rises of various technological goods that are imported. That wasn't good news.

And all the news about how the pound has tanked against foreign currencies, which will eventually push up the cost of almost everything. The days in which physical UK exports were made out of commodities that aren't themselves imported are long gone.

Non-physical exports might fare better, but the news about banking and financials has been about how they're doing due diligence on moving to elsewhere in Europe, so that's bad news.

Sure, I've heard some positive news too, but I've heard a lot of negative news. How come you haven't?

Once you've reached that point, you can no longer afford to have pride. You have to do whatever it takes.

You have to reach out to everyone you know for a job. You have to accept people's pity and take whatever you can get.

If you don't have marketable skills, you need to switch to a low-ethics industry - It's less competitive. Find the jobs are considered wrong or unethical and which no one else wants to do - Those pay the best.

When I was going through a hard time, I worked for a gambling company and made a ton of money. Making money feels good.

My philosophy is that if you're a poor person with no savings, you shouldn't worry about how your work affects society; it's not your responsibility - Let those who are wealthy worry about that; they are the only ones who actually CAN do something about that. You do whatever it takes to get the money into your bank account. If society gets worse, then you have to get worse with it.

If society degrades to the point that people are killing each other, you have to be prepared to fight for your survival.

Fedora is targeting 64 bit server-class hardware, which is on its way -- in production as we speak.

I'm quite capable of rebuilding the kernel, just lazy. The main problem is that the kernel is embedded in the bootloader, and the bootloader for this emulator is patched because the RISC-V HTIF [obsolete device] emulation is different from the other RISC-V implementations, which makes rebuilding the whole thing somewhat tedious.

Its cool that you can run Swift on the server, but that sure does seem like a lot of hoops to jump through, coupled with equally many gotchas. No threading on Linux, NSUnimplemented all the time, no built in random, poorly implemented foundation types, etc. seem like a lot to deal with.

It seems a more developed language/runtime (e.g. C#/F#/VB .NET or Java 8) would do a lot better with these specific requirements (typesafe, well-tooled, x-plat, server-side app) than Swift. Especially if you're going to be writing the UI in html/js/css and are thus not anchored to the Apple ecosystem anyway, Swift seems like a bizarre choice.

The author seems to like xcode quite a bit, but I don't see it as more competitive or better than any other IDE. Not to mention it does window management and the like differently from everyone else, so when you're getting into it, it feels like you have to learn IDEs, and then you need to learn xcode. I also don't understand why people are so complacent about xcode crashing all the time - if VS Code or VS or Eclipse or IntelliJ ever crashed on me I'd be pretty darn upset.
I know this is a joke post, but there's some happy middle ground that's possible too, without going full SPA.

If you render your pages and snippets on the server, a small amount of JS on the client can hotswap content. In the extreme of this idea, you get turbolinks from Rails where no real pageloads happen, but pages are rendered on the server.

But in the small, it can let you do a sprinkling of async calls where they make the most sense, and still keep all rendering of responses on the server.

> poorly-funded good ideas can't compete against well-funded bad ideas.

Nonsense. In the U.S., if the idea is worth anything, then it's surely worth spending ~$1500 to file a Provisional Patent. That Provisional Patent gives you 1-year to determine whether the idea is feasible. Talk to investors, see if there's interest. Nothing proves interest better than an investor willing to invest real money. If no interest, take that as an indicator and move on.

> Investors are more interested in funding terrible ideas from people they know than great ideas from people they don't know.

Nonsense. Investors are looking to make money. Give them an feasible idea that is somewhat backed with a guarantee that the money they fork over for you to spend on developing the idea won't simply be copied - and the investor will take that over a terrible idea with someone they know.

> The market is monopolized on every side and good ideas can't compete against sheer capital.

Nonsense. Even if the biz ends up collapsing, the patents can still be sold or retained. Many here will not like that idea - but the reality is the patents provide the investor with some comfort especially if the idea is worth anything.

The value, under conventional evaluation, of the expression '() is (), which is the empty list. This '() expression itself is the object (quote ()) which is anything but nil.

The nil-()-false correspondence is only specific to the Lisp dialects which are close to the original tree. In Scheme, an empty list is indeed (), and this object also the terminating atom of a list. However, the object isn't a symbol at all, let alone the symbol nil. Moreover, the object isn't a Boolean false; Scheme has #f for that.

For some reason, the worst experiences seem to get the most airtime (e.g. Job Simulator). My best guess is that this comes from Twitch, because it's funny to watch someone doing something mundane? Either way, the true gems get overshadowed. If you ever do get to try a device, the one title that sells it is "Universe Sandbox 2." It's on the spectrum of killer software, but not quite there yet - it gives people, especially children, access to times and places that they could never go.

I think you misread my comment. I wrote "more income that they can spend", not "more income than they can spend".

As for the whole Keynes being wrong thing, you didn't actually address what I wrote about inflation and how giving people a fixed amount of money for work (even if it's "make work") is self-stabilizing.

Also, to your "more money in the system than the system is producing": Keep in mind that the amount that the system is producing is not a fixed quantity. It's variable and part of the whole dynamics.
