I don't know if a universal "BASIC" income is something that will make people happy if that person can only afford the -basics-. There was a study done a few years ago that claimed happiness increased in tandem with salary up until ~$80,000(depends on where you live). Then anything above $80k saw a negligible increase in happiness. This article states that many people feel that their job is pointless and doesnt really contribute any great benefit to society. These people are therefore working only for the money, which, the article claims they may not need otherwise.

I think many people who already work menial jobs that are threatened by automation lack a certain drive for self-improvment that would need to be a required aspect of their lives if they otherwise have an extra 25-30 hours a week. Would these menial workers improve other aspects of their lives or simply watch more Netflix? I think anti-depressant use in a 15-hour\UBI world will increase.

Kotlin is a cool language, but doesn't do enough to differentiate itself from Java 8.

There are real benefits to picking the mainstream / popular option, which includes tons of documentation, forum discussions, books and developers available immediately for it. So when you go against the mainstream, those alternative tools have to be worth it.

I think Scala got over the worthiness threshold, by exposing one of the best OOP implementations exposed in a static language, sane generics, higher kinded types and implicits which make it possible to encode type-classes, which led to a community emphasizing on functional programming.

I think Kotlin isn't over that threshold. Some people view its thin layer approach to be an advantage. But it either has to evolve in being more than that, or to divorce itself from the JVM, because it is in direct competition with Java 8 otherwise. Evolving to be more than a Java++ goes against its own philosophy. Divorcing itself from the JVM is a work in progress, they also have a Javascript compiler, but the results aren't convincing enough for now.

It's a nice language, but personally I like those with a strong community of functional programmers and libraries. If I'll see http://typelevel.org for Kotlin, I might reconsider.

I'm sorry but that official's statement does not even kinda imply race.

I was about to ask who edits code on a mobile device, then I remembered a brilliant young coworker of mine who, as far as I could tell, coded exclusively on his iPad when he joined the company. I guess it goes to show you the huge variance of workflows out there.

He transitioned to a laptop soon after joining the company.
I don't see anything in your list of complaints that is about the actual language, not meekly about the culture surrounding it. The established perceptions of "best practices" are much more in need of a shakeup than the language itself. Maybe replacing the language is the only way to achieve that change, but then it would be more like a necessary sacrifice than a goal on its own.
Meanwhile, iOS has used strictly AOT compilation from the beginning for native applications. And doesn't iOS have a reputation for buttery smooth UIs? Perhaps the original AOT compilation approach of ART wouldn't be so bad if it didn't have to be done on the user's device, taking up the user's time while installing apps or upgrading the OS.
The language as physical tool metaphor is meaningless as far as I'm concerned. Physical tools and programming languages have very little in common. The reason so much is written about programming languages on HN and Reddit is because a language shapes the way you think and anything that alters your way of thinking is a serious matter. Some are expressive, others are not. In that sense a programming language has more in common with a political ideology or religion than something found in a garden shed. That's why programmers - at least those with a soul intact after x years in a Java shop - often obsess over the pros and cons of a programming language. To a craftsman it matters.

DHH once made an excellent defence of programmers as writers rather than engineers and it's perhaps no coincidence that the language he was referring to has ancestry with Perl which was designed by a linguist. Try Clojure/Lisp sometime if you haven't already. Then you'll experience programming as closer to expressive linguistic art than engineering.

My first programming language was Perl and I had to choose between Java and Perl at the time. If you haven't read Larry Wall's "Programming Perl" I recommend it regardless of the status of Perl in the current scene. It's a classic, written in a warm, witty style. 5 minutes with Deitel and Deitel's turgid Java tome and I was sold on Perl. The point I'm making is that choosing Perl over Java as my first language made a huge difference to how I programme today having learned many languages since. I still keep my use of objects to a minimum, prefer functional over OOP and love Clojure with a passion.

Sorry, "just a tool" is meaningless.

>unused skills rust and 15 hours seems like some kind of bare minimum level just to sustain rudimentary skill

Eh I think skills are stickier than that. FWIW, I spent about 6 months doing almost no programming, but I didn't feel particularly unproductive when I started again.

Besides which, there's no reason people can't be continuing developing their skills in the remaining hours anyway. The 15 hours is just how much time you have to spend doing what you're told. And you can likely learn much more efficiently if you work with that intent instead of acquiring skills incidentally as your job requires.
I've been using a combination of Wordpress with custom-type-ui, advanced-custom-fields(pro) and acf-to-rest-api to create admin areas and vue in the public part of the website (with a homemade prerender service).

To us this works really well because we can abstract most of wordpress weirdnesses via the rest api, and reuse vue components from some other bigger projects that don't use wordpress.

I can offer some advice from the other side of the fence as someone who evaluates potential SaaS platforms for use in an enterprise.

Audit log everything. If you think you have enough logging you're likely wrong. I have never seen a platform where I thought "this is nice, but I wish it has less logs"

Strong role based access controls, especially if you provide rights that can be built into custom roles. It's very hard to add these later and I can usually tell when a platform hasn't be designed to handle roles from very early on

Federated logins like SAML or Open ID Connect. Getting authentication right is very hard and it's usually better to use a well tested service rather than try to do it yourself. Codegeek mentioned not storing things you don't need. If you don't need to store passwords you've done yourself a huge favour.

Architecture reviews and penetration tests. Big organizations are going to ask for the results of these processes, so you might as well plan for it. Pen tests are nice, but bringing in outside help to do architecture reviews of your security is really cost effective. You'll catch issues at the design stage where it's still much easier to fix them. Once code is in production security design changes are much, much harder. This is an area you want someone to look over your shoulder to make sure you are considering the right threat models and building things out the right way.
Bicycles and Land Rovers are both operated on the street. Humans are on the street as well, with varying degrees of protection. I often use the street while mounted on a bicycle. If my skull is crushed by a Land Rover's tire that will be a markedly different experience from my skull being hit by a bicycle tire.

Please elaborate; I don't really understand what you mean.
At some point, they need to be cut out of the discussion which is why I support taking private initiatives to stave off the worse of AGW without their support. So if it means they get the White House, they can have it. I'd rather have a sustainable ecosystem and set of permanent and private institutions that supplant theirs to maintain that ecosystem. When a significant portion of private power isn't bending a knee to the old order that folks like Stephen Bannon (and to some extent Hillary Clinton) continue to worship then maybe we'll become a more mature civilization in which large scale issues like AGW aren't held hostage by the posturings of politicians.

> Perhaps FP and OOP are not meant to be unified.

The only thing that keeps FP and OOP from integrating properly is the "Everything is an Object" mentality. Pure-data structs aren't objects, and you start making loads of weird compromises when you force them into an object-shaped hole. Java (and, I guess, C++) kind of pushes classes as better structs, and lots of bizarre problems come from there.

I find that, when I'm programming in the small, on the lower-level implementation details, FP design principles serve me best. Inversely, when thinking about the structure of my applications, OOP principles suit the problem better.

This sort of design is what leads some people to say that Erlang is the most OOP language out there — Erlang processes map very naturally to objects in this sense, and it is, obviously, a functional language through-and-through.
They're coming in at half the price of equivalent Intel chips. They don't need to win, necessarily (which I didn't think was going to happen), they need to be competitive for a lot less money.

EDIT, in response to the other edit: sorry about that, I wasn't sure which comparison you were making. Still, the difference is slim enough that if I were in the market, I'd go with this one just to put the heat on Intel.
Impressive! While it doesn’t utterly destroy Intel, AMD does offer a MUCH better price/performance ratio. Things have gotten much more interesting indeed. Intel’s dominance is being called into question. As a result, we all profit.

I'm in the USA. I was given a shotgun for my 8th birthday. I shot an AR-15 when I was six. Guns were not treated as some mystical, forbidden devices.

Both my kids (8 and 11) have their own rifles, and we shoot regularly. If my kids want to shoot or handle a certain gun, I let them do it under supervision with no reservations.

Great to hear positive news about Podaris! I wish you success, and if you have an interesting testimonial or story, don't forget to post it here :).

RE list, thanks for the link, I didn't know about this work. I'll try to dig through it after work today.

Thanks for pointing out the issues with subdividing systems innovations and knock-on effects. I guess I've assumed that building a comprehensive list would be easier than it is. Still, something is better than nothing, and even by just looking at the HN discussions, I can see that there are many people with skills who would like to quit doing bullshit jobs, but don't know where to look for impactful work matching their skillsets or interests. This is an area I believe needs improving.

In this subthread I asked for ideas to start a rough list. If such a list was to be turned into a kind of reference for people, it would need to be continuously maintained. As you pointed out, you often can't predict which innovations will turn out impactful or not. The landscape constantly changes. But if we can't predict things well in advance, the least we can do is to try and track them and keep revising best guesses about their evolution.

I'm trying to understand what your other company does. From what I can tell from the website, you're selling some kind of framework for collecting and collaboratively sorting/annotating documents, and for on-line surveys? Is there any less business-speak overview available somewhere?

Exactly, when it frees up time you can be productive doing your own things.

Having 2 days off a week, really is only enough time to do chores, not enough to spend on your own skills or do anything productive for yourself.

As a contractor, I tend to take 1-3 months off between contracts + it seems to help, not hinder. I'm much fresher when I go into the next contract.
Having more advantages is exactly the problem talking about. People, especially kids, need to scrabble a bit and fight for resources in order to learn how to treat the resources themselves and the other parties who might need them respectfully.

Since I stopped gaming, I stopped following the high-end market. However, it is nice to see that AMD is trying to get in there again, some competition is good for the market in general.

If AMD can deliver, then Intel might have to respond with lowering prices on their products, which I believe might be a bit overpriced now due to there no being a real vialbe alternative.

Whatever happens, some competition is bound to be a good thing imo.

IMO one of the better ways to handle managing config and functions is using the Serverless Framework: https://serverless.com/

Your configuration and your code both live together, and can be stored in git together. You can create separate environments -- dev, staging, production, etc -- and deploy to them separately.

There aren't great options for testing in Lambda right now, and for the most part the advice I've seen is to make testable libraries, and then hook them into lambda.
