Should engineers and programmers pay more money for the same laptop as an art student?

I'm unsure if this pricing should only exist in the public sector or should extend to private services. Looking to hear your rationale.

I'm one of those, treat everyone equal, types. Would like to hear your reason.
Can anyone knowledgeable comment on the depth of Kenya's internal divisions?

From the NYT's perspective clearly Kenya is racially uniform, but I know that there was significant political violence at recent elections, to do with which tribe or language group candidates or parties represented. Do such distinctions matter only at voting time, or do they matter in everyday life too... like whether X landlords will be happy to rent to Y people, or employ Z? Can such distinctions be perceived immediately on the street (e.g. from accent) or only once you know someone's surname, or something?

This advertisement "takes inspiration" from an advertisement aired in Italy a few years before [1]. Even the music is the same. In that case though nobody complained since the person changes from white to black so it was more self-irony than racism.

This is probably the #1 problem with Unix-based systems in general for new users. There are so many ways to exit a command prompt depending on the application!

Off the top of my head: Ctrl+D, q, :q, exit, quit(), Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X.

Countless times have I been locked in an application and needed to cycle through those memorized commands to escape. Imagine doing that as a newbie.

Their point on registering vehicles by weight is the only sane way of doing it. You pay commensurate with the wear and tear your vehicle puts on the road. Doing it based on income or vehicle value is ridiculous. You already get dinged when you pay tax, now they want to double ding you? What a load of crap.
I don't understand why a beginner would skip an article like this. I understand as a beginner I may not understand what's going on. Shielding myself from knowledge I might not fully understand slows down learning. Messy learning by trying to absorb more than can be taken in yet is more effective because the mind will store the parts not understood and you'll be able to connect it as you learn other concepts.
I didn’t realize anyone was actually treating that Uber tagline as more than marketing fluff.
The three major themes of the article seem to be: micro transactions, variable pricing, and unbundling. I think that one of the unintended consequences of the first two is that doing them well requires a lot of information about the consumer at the transaction point. I can see some risks in that and I’m sure more devious minds than my own can think of more.
Looks like shit. I am sure it would be possible to correctly match the brightness.

Sorry but the trackpoint is probably gonna be dropped from this design. This is thing is heavily patented and costs a fortune that makes it unrealistic to add to a niche market product.

ctrl+d is the most dangerous kind! Since that one can also exit the terminal itself.

gdb takes, depending on the situation, one time ctrl+d or two times ctrl+d to quit. It's a trap!

So since gdb usually takes two times, muscle memory learns two times, but then in that rare instance where it required it only once... logged out of ssh :(
I don’t understand why this example is there at all. This is just a product being sold for a price. Is it unfair that a banana costs the same for Jeff Bezos as it does for the homeless guy he walked past on his way to the store?

I mean, you certainly could argue that this is unfair, but at that point you’re basically arguing for a different concept of money and commerce, which is a rather bigger subject than the unfairness of tolls.

Yeah, I wish they would do more to open up competition nationwide and unsaddle health insurance from employment. How ridiculous would it be if I needed to change car insurance every time I changed jobs. Stupid.

Well it's going to depend on your definitions. By American categories, India is 100% asian, and almost every sub-saharan country is 100% black. Of course local definitions vary.

But that aside, GP has a point that contemporary American culture spends a lot of energy worrying about this. The energy expended is a poor measure of the size of the problem.

Knowing Google, they probably will work, for some definition of work. However, you'll get a lot of extremely convenient online-only features around which an ecosystem will be built, such that ever more people start turning it on and it stops being controversial. They'll also instruct you to connect them to the internet during the initial setup procedure.

At first they'll promise they won't collect a lot of data and you'll always be able to opt out. However, increasingly more data will start getting collected, you'll start having a hard time finding the option to opt out and even if you manage to do it, the UI will progressively get more deceptive and annoying at trying to get you to turn it back on.

Next thing you know, almost everyone has them connected, you're a weirdo if you don't and Google is even more powerful than before.

Oh no, that's not the case at all. The joke (comedian-led) government of Italy is just misnaming unemployment benefits. They have a very foggy plan (and no ability to actually execute it), but it would include plenty of people trying to find unemployed a job close to home. Again, it's a populist joke.
In GEB there is a chapter about an audio reproducing system that is corrupted by the audio it reproduces.
One aspect of UBI in Finland that isn’t talked about as much as it used to be, is that it was meant to replace the rather extensive National health benefits notably the handicap pension. The argument was to save on the management cost of those programs.

Some people with a significant handicap, typically those who benefit from assistance to afford a powered wheelchair, were against it because it was likely that their benefit would be greatly reduced. There is also a large portion of the country that is considered handicapped for not obviously somatic reasons (depression and alcoholism) that would lose a lot. I have never heard any Finn disagree with the support that the latter group receives but I would assume that the assistance that they receive is controversial.

The initial goal there was to reduce the cost of managing all assistance programs (not to reduce inequality which isn’t necessarily seen as a major problem as long as everyone has a roof & eats) and was more a fringe right-wing idea.

Let's be honest, I doubt most of these people became gurus or lighthouse keepers. Most of them probably died young or killed themselves.

Pls. God no.. Why this obsession with apps when a simple PWA does almost all you need. Apps are akin to what the windows app were a one and half decade back. Like web apps blew 99% of thick client app to oblivion the same is going to happen soon to the mobile apps. It isn't without reason, why Apple isn't too keen with this development (they were one of the last to implement web workers and PWA in their browsers). I hope they learn from MS' mistake and embrace PWA rather than try to impede
I'm pretty sure 5% of the population can create more of whatever negative externality you'd like to tax than the lower 95%. Someone rich might not drive a car at all and instead take a private jet. An average person from the US produces fifty times as much CO2 as an average person from Kenya.

Columbus was not a saint and committed a few of the earlier atrocities in that period, but it's unjust to blame him for all of them (and also the involuntary spread of illnesses) that caused the drop of population in America.
I own several pine64 and they're not delivering on the promises and expectations. This is why I'm staying far away from the pinebook pro.

Also imho the pinebook pro is crippled by a lack of ram, arm cpu (lack of support from major OS), lack of upgrability, etc. it's more in line with a olpc laptop than the sysadmin notebook presented here.
I was always fascinated by the different groups in programming and the huge differences between them. Frontend developers contrast with backend app developers, but not nearly as much as frontend and low-level programmers. It's a bit like human races or animal species that evolved differently due to differences in environment and challenges faced. If you look at the global programming community its diversity is huge. I can't help but find that deeply inspiring.
Under the hood, Vue uses a similar virtual dom model as react, and at its core is based on one-way data binding. Vue's `v-model` is not a two-way binding a la angular, but syntactic sugar for the common (non-flux) react idiom of updating a parent's state based on an event emmitted by the child (which is handled by a vanilla react-style prop function)

To be fair, most platforms and social media sites tend to have the same business model. The only reason YouTube or Medium or Facebook or Twitter or Reddit or whatever else are financially viable is because most people are volunteering their efforts for free.

Arguably the same rings true of every wiki, internet forum and community site in general.

The question hence becomes 'what point does a site or service go from being innocent to exploitative?'

Few would say Wikipedia is exploiting its users. Some may say that about StackOverflow or YouTube, but many would say it about BuzzFeed or the Huffington Post.

What's the line between a community and a platform and a publisher? What kinds of sites and services and business models based on user generated free content are a good thing and which aren't?
OpenJDK builds from AdoptJDK [1] have LTS versions. The also state the following in their Roadmap [2]:

In addition, every three years one feature release will be designated as the Long Term Supported (LTS) release. We will produce LTS releases for at least four years. This assurance will allow you to stay on a well-defined code stream, and give you time to migrate to the next, new, stable, LTS release when it becomes available.

Fear of false positives?
I agree. I wouldn't consider a full re-write but for further development.
Self-driving kind of seems like the type of thing that would benefit from a single standard protocol. It seems almost reckless to have a dozen or more organizations trying to invent it on their own, each discovering or missing pitfalls that can cost lives. The problem is that the asymetry of balkanized development leads to lucrative competetive advantages, at least in the short term as the first to "get it right" can reap a windfall. And I suppose they'd deserve it for the risk of the investment they spent.

Is there an alternative they could compete on instead of the core tech? Maybe their coverage of localizations to different sets of traffic laws? Even with a dozen parallel developers, eventually the tech will become commoditized. When that happens to a technology, often the competition surrounding it focuses on services instead. What would those services be with self driving tech?

> Here's a crazy idea: instead of pricing congestion, let's introduce a point system with quotas tied to license plates and surge point deduction.

Good idea. Then make these points tradable, and you'll reach the same optimality as a congestion tax, but retain a system that doesn't exclude low-income folks.
OP did not write that rents would go up until l00% of people's income. IMO what he meant was that certain flats that used to be priced at the level that everyone could afford them, would go up in price when everyone's income would increase because of basic income: and they would keep going up until they reached the same equilibrium that they used to be in beforehand.
Of course this would not just apply to rents but to all scarce commodities.

I think OP has a valid point; similar things happened after the influx of high income tech workers in SF, or for instance in some European countries after governments gave tax advantages to house owners.
There are only two real things limiting PWAs in my opinion:

1. Lack of support on iOS. I presume it’ll stay this way for a while (years!). Mobile Safari finally has service workers, but really, that’s about it. No support for “Add to Home Screen” (technically it’s there, but doesn’t work the way it does in other browsers), and a lot of other APIs.

2. The Web is missing some APIs that would really let it compete with native apps. I know there was WebNFC at some point, but it was dropped. No standard/widely implemented API for reading contacts, sending texts, etc. Features like that would really push PWA over the edge and make it awesome.
What a single person can live on may be quite different to what a family would need, especially with school age children.

Some people might be happy living a simple life, some may want the fancy house and car, or want to travel whenever they can.

During pollution spikes in Paris, the city occasionally alternates each day between forbidding odd or even ending car plates from circulating downtown. The rich do precisely what you say: buy an extra car and make sure the license plates are so they can drive any day regardless of restrictions.

> that doesn't mean we have the first clue what all of those ways are

Actually we know a few constraints that they have to meet:

1. They have to provide an evolutionary advantage in some environment

2. They have to be Turing-computable

3. They have to realizable in hardware made of atoms (unless you want to consider dark-matter aliens)

So:

> a lifeform that experiences entanglement directly

I don't know what you meant by this. You do experience entanglement directly. The entire classical world is made of entanglements. Your very existence is a massive network of entanglements.

> one that senses gravity waves

> It would have to be very, very, very big

This is actually conceivable for a dark-matter alien, but then we have all the aforementioned problems of detecting and communicating with it. For an alien made of ordinary matter this is inconceivable because #1 above.

> just as good at making maps of social and political configurations as it is at mapping its physical surroundings.

Humans are actually pretty good at this in their ancestral environment where there are at most 100-200 individuals to deal with.

But this is actually the most likely avenue IMO, an alien that can "natively" handle communities of millions or billions of individuals where everyone knows everyone else.

Wow, so with Java, rather than developing software... I can spend my time reading through piles of legalese, trying to figure out which incantation of vague licensing/use language I’m beholden to.
Erased generics are awesome. Without erasure interop and code sharing among languages with different variance strategies is severely hampered. It's because Java erases generics (for subclassable reference types) that Java, Kotlin and Clojure can all share the same data structures without any runtime conversions.
Hot take: Vim should include a simple “Type :qa!<enter> to quit” line in its startup message. Something makes me think it would clear up a lot of confusion for first time users.

EDIT: I notice now that it has a “Type :q to exit.” I never noticed that before, and I use Vim most days, so I can see how others might miss it too.

First time hearing about pijul. Thank you, this looks pretty awesome!

I have a question. Applying formatting/indenting on the entire codebase is known to destroy (making it useless) blaming completely in git. Would it work with pijul?
In the soldier's case, they will spend their time and then get paid that money, with which they'll spend more resources. So for each tax dollar that enters, more than one dollar of resources is spent.

In the UBI's case, this is not true: the expense of resources is exactly the same, the State is just taking away the decision on which resources to spend it on from one group (net tax payers) to another (net tax receivers).

> At the moment we have an economic system that ensures consumption of real resources is matched by creation of real resources

But that's true with UBI as well (assuming it's done with taxation instead of issuing currency). If you give part of your paycheck to another person, the resources accounting is still net zero (society-wide).
