I wonder what the differences are between UBI and the day to day life’s of people who get straight cash payments for being citizens like: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Native American tribesmen with successful casinos etc.

To my knowledge, it ain’t all sunshine and rainbows (technical term) for them either. They suffer stagnation, heavy dependency into oil money(for those in the Middle East), and it’s dsfinitely a time bomb which those in power know it’s coming.

If anyone could present some points so we could further advance this point, id be grateful
> For GCC inline assembly means "take your grubby hands off". For clang it's essentially an invitation to do whatever.

That's not true at all. Clang respects the clobbers entry on inline assembly and does not do whatever it wants. See GCC's documentation on it: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Extended-Asm.html#Clobber...

Based off of your description you probably just needed to add the "memory" clobber to tell the compiler that any registers it might have kept are no longer valid.
On myth 1 ("STEM always delivers"), I think the variation mostly reflects people going into research & teaching vs working in the private sector. But no one is forced into research (quite the opposite). I actually do think that the downside for STEM is limited if earnings is something that matters to you.

[edit] Also the other thing to consider is that humanities is a bit of a one way trip whereas STEM is not. I have seen numerous people with engineering background getting into political science, history, even opera singing! I hardly ever met someone who studied humanities becoming an engineer.
I think that overlooks the contribution of Rob Pike, Russ Cox and others from the Plan 9 community.

Plan 9 is very much influenced by Oberon, and the Acme text editor in particular.

A 30 year loan is not much different really. Too long. It was rare in the US before various government subsidies and encouragements. First, Fannie Mae (1938), securitizing FHA backed home mortgages. Next, Freddie Mac (1970), securitizing home loans not backed by the US government.
> With all the taxes and fees that you have to pay on the sale price you can't buy the equivalent of your house.

So why on earth would someone want to sell their house and buy an equivalent house in the same area...?
Let's rehash your argument here. You think that companies that need skilled devs should train up junior devs instead of looking for skilled devs on the job market. Your answer to the retention issue that creates is "treat employees better."

You don't understand why that's a bad deal for employers? You want them to take on all of the risk and get none of the reward.

Look, I like the current system where you have to build the skills yourself and find some way to get into the job market. I was able to navigate that system and build a career in it. I look at the current code-school infrastructure as basically "easy mode." That's what we need more of. Companies still snap up code school grads like nobody's business.

Asking companies to play the role of code schools is just way too much.

Nope, sorry. No. Never. I'd rather change password managers than rely on a small, niche company to keep the data secure and in sync -- larger players have a much bigger advantage here.

I can see a future coming when I'll only use 1Password on my phone, and have things stored on a secure enclave. It will be slightly more of a pain to use it on a desktop, but most browsers and operating systems are building their own simplified (and arguably more secure) password vaults...
> Conflict is an especially fertile ground for cultural innovation. Friedman stresses how many legal systems, including advanced ones with lawyers and codes and everything, show signs of originating from feud systems, which might be the most basic form of law. They work like this: “If you offend me in some way, I will try to kill you”. A slightly more advanced version that takes account of possibly power differentials between offender and victim: “If you offend me in some way, everybody in my family will try to kill everybody in your family”. This originally sounds unpromising, but it turns out that people really don’t want their family members murdered. So we end up with an even more advanced version: “If you offend me in some way, we had better find some way to arbitrate our dispute, or else everybody in my family will try to kill everybody in your family”.

> sharing code between client and server

Never happens as much as you would think it might, except maybe for some very simple common utility functions. There is some benefit to consistent tooling (e.g. all you need is node+npm, then `npm i` and `npm run whatever`) for both client and server, but I have yet to find a project or framework that shares even the obvious stuff like domain model classes well.

>Is that why Dart got so popular compared to Go?

No, that was because the focus of Dart (replacing JS on web browsers) wasn't feasible, and even Google dropped it. Which says nothing about the quality of the language (which was selected for the Flutter SDK anyway).

Besides, popularity in tech, as in high school, doesn't say much. Engineering shouldn't be a pop culture.

Aren't agent fees and capital gains only applicable after the sale of the house?

I think I'm beginning to see your problem, which is that a lateral move is expensive. But the lateral move is only more relative to your initial buying price. A lateral move (in terms of value of your house and in the same area) would in your example cost about ~$135,000. I see why that would cause a liquidity problem but your actual equity is still higher than before.
You underestimate the cost of communication overhead and rework. As a flat team scales, the cost of communication scales with the number of people squared. If you solve this with process, everyone's productivity is dropped.

Data that you can find in Software Estimation: Demystifying The Black Art quantifies this. The overall productivity of a team increases until it has 5-8 people. Then it goes down. A team of 12 actually accomplishes LESS per month than it would if you fired half the people. However once you get to 20-25 people, productivity is back. And then increases fairly close to linearly.

Going from 5-8 people all the way to 20+ with no increase in throughput is really, really painful. And those aren't cheap people. This provides companies with a huge incentive to figure out how to get a small team to be as productive as possible. And you don't get the most out of a small team by filling it up with junior to mid-level devs.

Your chain breaks at "less people willing to buy goods due to risk".

SEK going down will push the costs of imports up. It will also make Swedish exports more competitive. Imports being more costly will cause Swedish consumers to substitute imported goods with local alternatives.

The net will be that wages will go up and unemployment will go down. This is good. But the price of goods will become dear to the Swedish consumer and this is bad. And there's a possibility of a wage/price spiral driving up inflation.

> A negative income tax is a progressive tax system that starts off in the negatives and works itself up as you move up in brackets or (ideally) on a smooth curve or line.

But if UBI says you get $30k/year in gross income and then if you choose not to do UBI, then you pay taxes on your income, isn't that essentially the same thing? Because if you get $30k/year in income from UBI, it wouldn't make any sense to tax an income that comes from taxes...right?
Do you have any links to good resources on "secure coding practices" or more generally "good engineering practices"?

I feel like there are lots of resources about specific programming skills (language and library details) but it is difficult to find good resources about more higher level concerns; security, maintenance, tooling, operations, availability, authentication/authorization, scaling, automation.

Google's Site Reliability Engineering is one example of a good resource in this area.
Quite often I want to sketch things, or stick in a paper printout from old-school lab-equipment. Both if these are a pain on a computer.

- risk-taking (migrating, starting businesses)
- gender relations (especially female empowerment)
- aspirations and outlook on life
Yeah unionizing can help: instead of making problems solvable with technology, in which compared to the average person we all excel, we can replace them with social interactions, where we will be eaten alive: and rather than have the ability to work in a different environment if we don't like our current one, we will be forced to work union rules whether we like them or not.

Somehow I also don't think that union will be political neutral, so I won't be building the muslim database, but I will be building the "who has a gun license" database.

Recently I wrote a web-extension for Firefox that displays funny "Deep thought" quotes.

I wanted to analyse the quote text and fetch relevant images to animate in the background of the quote text. After reading several NLP tutorials, guess what I did as a first PoC - Pick the 3 longest words in a quote text and run an image search with those 3 words.

6 lines of plain javascript code that can be run anywhere almost instantly
https://github.com/TheCodeArtist/deep-thought-tabs/blob/mast...

I get relevant images in the search results 99/100 times. The quirks of searching often result in the image adding to the funny-ness of the "Deep Thought" on display.

Its so effective that i ended up publishing the "Deep Thought Tabs" web-extension with this approach itself:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/deep-thought-...

Later I tried using the nlp-compromise js library to identify "topics" of interest within a quote text - typically nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Comparing the results with my "3-longest-words" approach, I found that the longest words were anyways almost always the "topic" words that NLP identified for any given quote text.
It uses Monero:

This seems super helpful when swarming compared to squeezing everyone on the team into one office. Will collaborators all be required to be running admin level accounts? That might be a problem in shops (mine!) where admin access is rarely granted to devs.
I'm worried about this too. The entire reason I migrated to 1Password over Lastpass is that I don't trust Lastpass' extension. There are too many edge cases, too much fuzziness around "offline usage", and too much reliance on the browser. 1Password's extension acting as an anchor for 1Password Mini, which runs as a separate application on my desktop outside of the browser ecosystem, is a major draw.

I don't see how this is better in any way. What's the point?

Well, they both use webkit or blink for rendering, but I don't know how much of the actual chromium codebase is used. However that shouldn't actually matter, because they both claim to focus on privacy (especially Brave), which means that they've presumably removed or disabled the data tracking code from Chromium... or just changed the API endpoints ;)
I actually noticed some weird and potentially concerning behavior with Firefox Quantum this morning.

I had a fair number of tabs open (~28 or so), and I restarted the browser so a change I made would take effect. I have FF set to show my windows and tabs from my previous session on start up, but it instead launched with a single tab showing my home page. Okay, no big deal, I'll just restore my previous session from the History menu. When I clicked on the history menu, though, I didn't see my most recent history, but instead a list of URLs from my bank.

I assume this is due to a syncing issue with my Firefox account (I changed my banking password just to be safe), but it's still concerning.
Haven't you heard that the meaning of Browser now just means Chrome. Unless someone writes cross-browser, they are only targeting Chrome, which as a Firefox user, really sucks.
I'll probably get downvoted for this, but my advice: If you're graduating from high school and don't know what you want to do for a living, join the military - it'll grow you up fast and will provide you with great options for financing your education once you do figure it out.

> What you are recommending is that employers pay for training, and then pay employees exactly the same that they would get for hiring someone with equivalent skills from the market. This leaves employers out by the cost of training from the cost of hiring from the market. So the business is strictly behind where it would have been.

This is in the context of businesses complaining about a shortage of developers. If every mid or senior level position was getting filled without much grief or effort, then there wouldn't be any issue. But in a situation where the business can't seem to find anyone that fits the bill, the obvious solution is to look at the talent they CAN train, instead of hoping the exact right candidate walks through the door.

Furthermore, in any reasonable organization where things like positive/negative code review, respectful seniors, mentorship, and a general respect of all developers are part of the company culture, the cost of training a junior developer to be useful to the project is largely absorbed. Of course, a company where everyone is isolated and heads-down will consider training to be a huge burden, because it's completely orthogonal to their workflow.

> Businesses that consistently pay for losing propositions usually wind up going out of business.

Businesses that focus on the short term "we need this now, get the butt in the seat" aren't thinking about the workforce as people, which is just as insidious.
Thanks.

>Part of the size of executables can be attributed to these languages implementing their own libc equivalents (or wrapping libc).

Yes, I agree. Both of them have more features and I guess (I know it a bit for Go, not sure for Rust) do some more / higher level things than plain C, which may partly be why they need to wrap libc (or implement the equivalent) with non-trivial additional code.
They are fun - but it's the film/developing costs that get you.

Is anyone aware of a reasoning of why a usable planet would be a requirement for space exploration?

Sure, if a "clone" of Earth is found, it would make things created here more reusable on the new planet, but seems like a pretty limited way of viewing the potential for ventures in space.

More to the point, is anyone aware of the requirements of non-planet staged space operations would look like and how viable such plans would be compared to planet dependent operations.
