Yes, preceisly what allanienhuis says above. The Chimney Sweep taks are important, but mundane. E.g. some (a lot of) people dislike bug triage, but it's damn important. I like triaging (and fixing) bugs. To a decent extent, a bug report means something is bothering a real user. Fixing that is more rewarding (than writing features that might be useful for someone).

Wilderness areas are few and far between in large parts of Europe. Someone trekking through the countryside would get noticed quickly by the population. And it would be a very slow way of travelling. I think roads and railways were probably a better option, and this map could have helped with that.
> So we decided to put them on a stretcher, with a full face mask, with pure oxygen on a positive pressure.

Positive pressure means that any water getting into the mask would be flushed out. This first-person account seems to clarify that the kids were almost always on a stretcher while on land. But what about the underwater portions? I can't even imagine as a kid (or even adult) diving into the equivalent of no-visibility iced coffee. This Nytimes detailed recap seems to indicate the stretchers were also used during the "sumps" (underwater portions)

Virtually no undefined behavior, but few security issues in C is because of compiler bugs or backdoors. And integer overflows, buffer overflows, and race conditions don't need any undefined behavior in C, and are the same problem in assembly.

But many programmer mistakes that a C compiler would at the very least warn about will only be apparent at runtime in assembly: Treating something as the wrong type, forgetting to dereference a pointer (or accidentally dereferencing it), mixing up values of different types, mutating something that's meant to be constant in a context, assigning an integer quantity to a pointer without an explicit cast...

Then on top of that you get a myriad of new potential mistakes that are impossible or at least very unlikely in C: Mixing up registers, accessing the wrong offset in a structure (e.g. easier to mix up reg+12 and reg+14 than foo.enabled and foo.name), messing up the stack layout... And now think about what each of those mean when you're actually changing code: Did you update every register? Did you update every offset?

As for the simpler code being simpler to understand and simpler to keep bug-free, that's kind of a tautology that applies independently of the language. And besides, wouldn't those qualities be even easier to achieve for the same code written in C?

See the national debt of Norway (34.33% of GDP) - this is insanely low for developed countries.

Another important measurement is the Gini coefficient [1] which shows us if the wealth is distributed equally (G = 0% means everyone gets the same; G = 100% means one person has everything).

Norway: G = 27.5%

US: G = 48% (this means 1% owns half the wealth)

Germany: G = 28.9% after taxes (G = 49% before taxes). This shows how big the impact of taxes is for a fair distribution of wealth. Unfortunately, it's known that high-net-worth individuals have options to extract wealth without paying taxes. But I think they don't necessarily do themselves a favor because they simultaneously destroy the society they enjoy and depend on.

> [1] oddly enough I have never discussed this with british people

Over recent decades tuition fees have been rising, but they've been covered by a special loan. Paying back this loan is taken out of your pay cheque (via PAYE) based on how much you earn. If you don't pay it back within a certain number of years it gets wiped.

Before the last major increase it was viewed by most of my peers (I graduated in 2013) as reasonable. Graduates could expect to pay it off.

Now graduates finish with £40,000-$50,000 and the interest rate is so high many won't ever pay it off.

Being able to support yourself during university might be a problem but there are bursaries and grants you can get.

Let me know if you want more details.
> If everyone can finish University, then having a university title becomes pointless!

Only if the value of a degree is having an edge over others, not if it's value is learning - primary school isn't pointless even though most people master it.

This feels like it links back to the same problem as everything else - as time goes on automation removes less skilled jobs, and more and more people will need to do more skilled jobs.

This means that at some point, university levels of education will probably become necessary for any employment - at that point (and arguably before), asking people to pay for education they need to be a functional member of society seems inherently broken.

Of course, the other option is just to accept that maybe in the future not everyone needs to work, or certainly not everyone needs to work a full time job. Unfortunately for America, the idea of anyone not working as a "freeloader" is so heavily ingrained into the public consciousness, it seems likely people will just be left to suffer (even if they are "freeloading" off the labour of machines).

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if when we reach that point, people who can't do that level of work are defined as disabled in some way to "justify" it. Or, worse, arbitrary jobs that aren't needed, but are created just to employ them.
If you omit the second part of the phrase obviously the meaning changes. The commenter clearly said "large enough for a family".

> If everyone can finish University, then having a university title becomes pointless!

Certainly the competitive advantage has decreased over time. Having gone through the US university system myself I can confirm that there is... lets say "inflationary pressure", though I've also been at a european university and the same pressure existed there and for all the same reasons.

I agree that the university debt seems to be a uniquely american issue though.

Sure. Here's a certain Linus Torvalds:

(...) I don’t think I’m unusual in preferring my laptop to be thin and light. (...) Btw, even when it comes to Apple, it’s really just the Air that I think is special. The other apple laptops may be good-looking, but they are still the same old clunky hardware (...)"

I don't think Kodak did hush it, they had some pretty advanced digital cameras early on, they were pioneers. The problem was they were a film company not a camera company, those businesses are so distinct they were never likely to cross from one to the other.

There are companies who don’t have company events at all and who don’t let employees expense any meals at all. Shouldn’t they be the real “tyrants”?

There's a way to pay a lot less. Ask apple to replace the battery, it costs $219 and because they have to replace the topcase when replacing the battery, you will get a new keyboard.

5 Free and Useful Tools for SEO
Did your sources distinguish Norway's Gini coefficient before and after taxes?

My impression is that marginal taxation here is massive, since we have a sales tax of 25% (consumption tax, effectively), high taxes on luxury goods (cars especially), wealth tax of 0.85% of net worth every year and capital gains tax of 30% with no exemption for long-term holdings. The marginal tax rate on income is 46% IIRC, but your employer has already paid 14% of your salary in employment tax before you're paid. On top of this is property taxes, fees to local government, annual car tax etc.

If you make a complete assessment of the taxes a high-earning, high-spending person pays, it can easily surpass 70% of all income.

Exactly. My point is that US "score inflation" seems to be faster than in Europe. Maybe it has something to do with capitalism/socialism (pleasing the student/client), maybe with culture, maybe with language, etc. I don't know why, but it seems that way for me.
Thanks for being
I think so mainly because of the near total lack of societal support of bringing them up to be educated, responsible adults with opportunities. If you want to have them, fine. But then, you better be prepared to be able to pay for health care, child care and college. Without maternal / paternal leave, having kids also puts their parents at a financial and career disadvantage to non-parents, so they are indeed a luxury.

The paper is specifically about mechanical combination locks. Although fascinating in the sense of modern tech defeating old-school security, most people would encounter a combo lock these days only on gym and school lockers.

I'm more concerned about codes on keypads and passwords on keyboards being captured by cameras, either hidden spy cameras (like at ATMs) or ubiquitous security cameras that you don't even notice anymore.

Cameras are a bigger threat and I haven't seen any good novel ways to defend against that. Years ago there was an ATM pin pad that had changeable digits on each key. It shuffled the digits for each user, and you could read the digits only if you looked head on. But it didn't catch on.

IMO it's the other way around. There are other other small oil rich countries; for instance in the Gulf. None of them seem to be going anywhere near as well as Norway. So, empirically, Norway's prosperity as a society is an indication that it's doing some things really well.
> Aarnes’ hourly pay starts at 164 Norwegian kroner (around $20), increasing for weekend and evening shifts. After taxes (which are comparatively high in Scandinavia) he’s left with around 14,000 kroner ($1700) a month, of which he sets aside half for rent, travel and bills and uses the rest for “whatever else” he likes.

The likely reason why he can earn this much with a supermarket job is because everyone else has more disposable income, which means it's easier to make products more expensive and to afford to pay higher salaries for such jobs.

I think there have been at least a few studies in the past few years that show just how important it is for an economy for everyone to have decent amounts of disposable income. It means there are more consumers who can afford more types of products = a healthier economy.

A healthier economy with more spread-out rather than consolidated companies, means the companies are also more willing to pay higher/more competitive salaries, as opposed to if only a handful of companies dominated the economy.

In the U.S., the middle-class has been drained out of disposable income. Recent reports have shown that something like 60% of the country can't afford a "$500 emergency".

That is likely due to several reasons:

1) the crazy situation with student debt that the U.S. has gotten itself into (I believe it's because the government guaranteed the loans, which made it easier for universities to keep increasing the prices, but what's important is that the situation exists and must be fixed/ended)

2) the crazy healthcare system that leaves almost everyone financially bankrupt if they have a more significant health issue, or they just can't afford to pay for full coverage. Again, U.S. is just about the only country that has this problem.

3) the rising (negotiation) power of mega-corporations, who are allowed to become ever larger, and the fact that they can outsource workers from abroad almost at will.

They have just about obliterated any negotiation power workers have in the U.S., which also means most workers get little pay and they can't hope for too many salary increases over the years (even to cover for the real inflation, not the "low" inflation the government keeps talking about but doesn't jive with how fast product prices are rising in the economy).

There are also studies showing that basically since the 70's the real salary has stayed the same and hasn't increased with productivity at all. The salaries of CEOs and the payout to shareholders on the other hand have skyrocketed.
I must say as a long time windows developer, .net core on linux is much simpler than on windows. I'm moving everything I have from windows to Linux and the experience, simplicity, speed, stability, etc are much better on linux.
