In my experience, writing "scary" software like a compiler, an OS, a kernel driver, etc is more about bravery/daring than raw skill or intellect. There are quite a few people that know C and C++ in high school, so it seems reasonable that at least some of them would have someone (IRL or online) nudge them in the direction of an OS and tell them "it's not as hard as you think, if you dare to try."

I don't say this to diminish the accomplishment here, but to encourage others to try it too.

The same mathematical problem or operation can have several different Kolmogorov complexities, depending on how efficient an algorithm is when solving the problem.

I don't think there's any way around it. If I create a Turing Machine that calculates 1+1 by counting all the atoms in the universe, it's going to have a high complexity.

Tom Cahill, in his book "Mysteries of the Middle Ages" [1] explains explains how in ancient times, people had very different attitudes towards hermits, shut-ins, and the like:

"Though often represented as a period of repression... the Middle Ages offered - at least in religious roles - more options than now allowed. ...in the Middle Ages such social oddities were welcomed and assigned a place of honor. While the rest of us went about our worried lives, they prayed for us continually, speaking to God on our behalf."

That CO2 emission is (or should be) taxed for its externalities at the power generation side, same as any other electricity, and doesn't need to be taxed again at the car level like petroleum-fueled vehicles must be.

Plus, depending on where you're filling up, you may actually be using 100% renewable energy anyway, so you're not emitting CO2. There are states that are close to majority-renewable now, and will be in a few years.
System on my old laptop had somewhat broken battery indicator in systray, so I ended up using simple HTML page polling / listening to navigator.battery changes [0] and displayed it, even in a "graph" form (in fact, just didn't redraw old values, so it was a side efffect). That worked pretty well, but then whole API became obsolete because of fingerprinting abuse. Ah, days of yore.

I have no qualms with that. In part, I don't just want to be a "good person" so I get admired or rewarded for that, but so that I can look others in the eye, and can observe them, without having to distort it. Just like honesty makes things simpler and helps focusing, because you don't have various "versions" of the truth to tell yourself and others. It's all on a spectrum, nobody is innocent or perfect, etc. etc., but the principle holds: if I want to suck life to the marrow, I gotta live it upright. If I want to be able to enjoy good fortune, without telling myself fluffy lies, without cynicism, without any layer of crap on top of it, I have to wish well for others, too. If I want to sleep well, I have to try to speak truth to both power and obedience. No shortcut, no alternative.

Being only happy for myself, only caring about my own life, leaves me at best with 80 years of this super smart, incredibly handsome and humble person. Which is fantastic, I'll admit. But if I increase the range of my sympathies, the ones I really feel, not the ones I profess or whatever, when I have a wider horizon for what makes my heart happy or sad, then suddenly there is all this Earth, maybe even universe, that's teeming with life. A lot to be sad about, but also so much more to be happy for. I want the more, not the less. I want the sublime, not the petty. I don't care how I'm remembered, I just want to be in the first place, and know that I am. It's a journey towards a place I'll never fully reach, but I want to be on no other.

I agree wholeheartedly, having written a kernel myself first year in high school (and I don’t consider myself very intelligent). Mine was even more involved — it had user space, protected memory, multitasking, file systems, etc. So much fun! What it came down to was persistence and reading the manuals.

San Francisco wants to propose a vacant property tax
There are games which do something similar. Alpha Centauri for example gives you four category options to choose from (corresponding to the 4 x's, if my memory is correct), and then you get one of the next techs in the pool from your category choice.

More recently Stellaris gives you three topics to research at once, but you're limited to about 3-5 choices (there are ways to increase the number of choices) in each category. Those choices are weighted to appear based on how rare / expensive the tech is and the area of interest of the scientist researching that area. There are also gameplay elements which impact the choices you're presented with, like for example if you have a gateway in a solar system you own (think stargate), then you're more likely to get an option for the tech for building stargates. It works pretty well.
> What is the advantage of landline over VOIP?

A few things.

First, there is a small bit of power going over traditional copper lines, and you are able to dial 911 even if the power goes out or the internet goes down.

Second it's a sociological mechanism. People in modern times are incredibly entitled, so saying "I didn't want to answer your call because I was busy" makes them irrationally angry.

But if you give out your landline you can just say you weren't at home.

Cool, I get what you're saying, and that is a valid point that there will be cultural variation in the level of "somebody must pay for this" for bad situations.

The Great Depression in West Virginia seemed rather wholesome and pleasant as portrayed by "The Waltons", so rivers of guillotine blood in the French Revolution are not a guaranteed outcome. The whole point of this problem being that kids won't have jobs, friends, spouses, houses, and kids, means a happy "The Waltons" outcome is unrealistic to expect, however. If the whole point of the problem, is the opiate of the masses has been taken from some of them, its gonna be a bad one.

In California, Sierra Club has apparently been co-opted by NIMBYs who basically use environmentalism as a cover to stop any new development against entrenched interests.

The good thing (at least wrt to the posted s article) is that the majority of people like to save money, and solar offers a way to save money. So the forces of economics and good policy at the state level will make more solar and storage projects happen.
Git wasn't designed with your average developer in mind.

Linus designed it for himself and for kernel development. This still shows. I don't think he ever intended it to be used outside of Linux development, maybe not even for long there.

I wouldn't be surprised if he expected people to run with the concept and develop their own tools. But inertia and hype prevailed and now we are stuck with a poorly designed UI.

Most HR systems default to allowing a decline due to it being a legal requirement. I spoke to someone I know who worked HR in the valley for years - it requires quite a bit of effort to override that.

What do you mean by "expressive"?

For me it's less expressive than assembler!

Probably the answer you are looking for is:

1) long code, each minimal part is longer than what you expected. Do you know how much code is necessary for a cell to decompose the sugar (and oxygen) into CO2 and water?

2) lot of superoptimization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superoptimization i.e. sometimes after a lot and lot and lot of generations it can by lucky and find a witty combination that does something. (the trick is not killing all the intermediate generations, so it's not a 100% superoptimization)

3) nice interface with the real word. The DNA is translated to RNA that is translated to proteins. The proteins are made of aminoacids. There are a bunch of aminoacid types, so they can build the proteins like modules. Some aminoacids are more water friendly, some more acid, some can make bridges with other aminoacids or other molecules. So it's like a nice construction set where you can pick some structural parts, some moving parts and some "sticky" parts. (A bad analogy is a Lego with magnets and velcros.) If you combine them wisely, you can do interesting things.
I read the lengthy article expecting some strong accusations of fraud, but the "deffered compensation" accusation is BS, and the other one (of using firm's resources for personal gains) is what every CEO does when he takes the corporate jet to play golf.

I agree that the other critizism are much worse (too little money for a too short time).

But while a sample size of 2000 is statistically enough, a study this small can't find the effects of giving a basic income to an entire country. Giving income to one person changes that person, giving income to everyone changes the entire economy.

For an initial experiment this is actually fine. You first want to check that the effect on the individual is beneficial and people don't just stop contributing to society. But to draw useful conclusions you would need a second experiment that gives basic income at least to an entire community, preferably even an entire region, for a duration that allows people to forget about the "after".

> Realistically, no amount of BI would allow people to "get by" in a highly-desirable urban location.

Isn't it part of the idea for a UBI?

If you can't live where it is expensive, go find a better job or move out.

UBI, at least my idea of it is far from easy, it is something to ensure your survival, but if you want confort, and choosing where you want to live is part of it, then you need to work. There is only so much money that can be allocated do welfare, and you can't give more to some people without taking it from others.

It means that if you are already living on subsidies, chances are that your situation is going to get worse with UBI. OTOH, part timers in poor areas will be much better off since they will get full UBI + pay with low expenses.

Maybe that's why UBI doesn't work. Not because it is an incitation to do nothing, but because it may be devastating to families who already live on subsidies. And if we don't remove existing subsidies, then there isn't enough money.

This is a fundamental problem with most programming languages I’ve come across. It’s quite annoying.
You might notice that the prices of trading A for B, then B for C, then C for A results in more A than you began with if done instantaneously.

But you can’t do that for a trillion dollars, because the “price” of an asset is just the best offer to buy or sell, and those are capped at the quantity of the best offer. Once you exhaust those, the arbitrage might not exist anymore because the remaining best offers will be worse. Say the market has capacity to actively exploit arbitrage for $10,000. You will earn the same amount of dollars if you have $1,000,000 or $10,000 if you exploit it to the max, but your return will be 100x better if your base is $10,000.
The only game I can think of that was similar to the model you suggest was the long ago "Spaceward Ho!" series, which was uncomplicated but fun. There was no tech tree; putting money into each of several categories of research yielded incremental improvements in that area over time but occasionally one would get a "breakthrough" that would boost that area dramatically or provide a new capability.

I thought it was an interesting idea but it seems fundamentally incompatible with having a tech tree at all.

Take a look at Riot.js or Mithril.js if you want something much simpler and easier to pickup quickly. Another great option might be Svelte & Sapper (Sapper is for Svelte like Next.js is for React)

Try focusing on finding ES6 approaches and that'll help keep your code simple also.
You can roll out your own app using a frontend framework together with a backend one - like Node, PHP, .NET, etc. Using something like Firebase, a backend framework becomes less relevant - but some of those features you listed are deceptively complex. My suggestion would be to pick up Angular or VueJS together with Firebase. React can be tricky if you're starting out.
The money would be taxed away, of course.
The issue is that the component abstraction makes thinking of state as being specific to a subtree feel better encapsulated then having all components enmeshed with global state in their own way.

Doing it in a way that best utilizes the strengths of both of those abstractions will happen eventually, but old habits die hard. As evidence look at all the convoluted ways people try to make all style information public, conflating the public aspects and implementation details.

There is just a ton of sloppy thinking and very little design pattern leadership. For example Airbnb used react for a long time and all it really gave back to the community was an extremely anal set of linting rules which incidentally differ from Facebook’s in annoying, nit picky ways.

One can imagine the amount of bike shedding that such minutiae creates across the entire react community.
