> In my view, Perl 6 doubled down on the eclecticism when many users had expected it to double down on the practicality.

Perl 6 is, in my view, from a language design PoV extremely practical (it has lots of features, but each has a very clear pragmatic rationale).

From a project management point of view, it was perhaps insufficiently pragmatic, because there weren't the resources to get a production ready, fully productized implementation in a reasonable period of time.
I do think the promise was "easy money on your own time, be your own boss." Something you could do to fill the cracks, without getting a second job. Every uber driver ive ever talked to about it says one of the main reasons they do it is being able to choose when to work.
Then it is clear that the idea that the marketplace of ideas will simply defeat evil is a fraud. We will have to spend literally forever publicly arguing that it is a bad idea to murder everybody belonging to a given race.

We don't have a "marketplace of ideas" for alternatives for the conservation of mass. We teach kids one thing in school and move on. Why do we behave differently for other topics?

It would replace a lot of copper in electronics, gold has lots of nice properties for that application (it's used already for chip pins and in some space/avionics systems) except it's price precludes mass production use.

It's also inert, non-toxic and easily recycled - it'd be useful just for that.
Because a metal face-plate is the most likely item to fall in there. Especially in industrial places like warehouses and hospitals where there's a lot of stuff rolling around and everything is high traffic.
Is there any good economic theory on how to set minimum wages? I thought it's still a bit of an open question.
I politely disagree but I think your viewpoint is valid.

(I don't understand why you're downvoted, so I upvoted you.)

But now: It used to be really fun to have online discussions with people who I used to know in real life, but because "life happened," I didn't get to see very often. That's why Facebook used to be fun, and why I politely disagree.

But, again, I think your viewpoint is totally valid and shouldn't be downvoted.
> enough to give everyone on the planet $93 billion

In the words of Syndrome: "When everyone's super... no one will be" Poverty is relative wealth, so if everyone's wealth increased by the same amount, the poverty line would be exactly the same.

If you gave everyone on earth 1kg of gold simultaneously, it would actually make the poor poorer since it would devalue any of their current golden possessions to near zero.
They'd probably keep it a secret if they manage to succeed (and slowly dole it out as per need and sell it at high present costs); of course unless a rival manages to do so as well and threatens "publicizing" the fact.

Hard to feel bad for any higher-ed institutions nowadays. It's clear that degrees are essentially signaling that's captured by outrageously bloated, rent-seeking institutions. I'm completely sympathetic to the idealism that colleges are vital institutions of education, but there's something systemically wrong with college price, criminally so, and the issue isn't just "we're not spending enough."
There is an Asian culture[0] so I'm pretty sure Asians relate more to themselves than to residents of a foreign continent though the bond is definitely weaker than in Europe as they have no "pan-asian rights".

>> And I still think this belonging feeling is stronger in Europe due to the open borders

That's indeed the case and the open borders, free flow of capital, labour etc exist because we have a political union. That's why you can't really talk about transnational European pride without talking about federalisation and sovereignty .

The financial crisis, Brexit and Trump put EU in a tough spot. Greece shows us that we need a fiscal and banking union if we want to talk about financial solidarity, Brexit proves that some countries don't want to be states of a United Europe, Trump made it clear that US's protection will not last forever. Even worse, it sees a United Europe as a foe and threat to its supremacy.

Now the question about how European you feel is not just an abstract question. You can vote for closer or lesser integration or a total exit.

You have to give some national sovereignty to get transnational sovereignty.

I believed the European dream, that in time EU cohesion policies lead to a single stronger and united country but now I'm not so sure...looks more like everyone for themselves.

Seems a pretty big assumption. We have an abundance of silicon, that hasn't sparked any sort of revolution around silicon.

Gold has some nice properties, but I don't think it is a wonder metal.
Here's what happened:

I initially posted the parent comment, it's just the introduction of SafeCurves with its original URL, and I cited that Curve25519 has advantages of better treatment of timing side-channels and invalid curves in its design. I never mentioned "backdoor" at all because I thought it was unimportant.

Then user "yarg" replied my comment, said the point of Curve25519 here is that it uses mathematically-justifiable constants. And to me, what the author seems to be implying, is (1) that those security advantages I cited before are not too important, and (2) that the main concern is that NIST curves have "backdoors".

So as a response, I gave a somewhat editorialized summary of SafeCurve's findings for those who didn't want to read the whole thing. "yarg" seems to be interested on the issue of backdoor, so I gave some personal commentary on the concern of backdoors in the coefficients of NIST curves, and the Internet folklore of why Bitcoin used that unusual Koblitz curve.

But what I wanted to communicate was that it wasn't all about the backdoors, so I summarized all the criteria in SafeCurve to make the point. For example I said Curve25519 allowed "simple" multiplication and addition, and it makes constant-time implementation easier than NIST curves.

I think it's fair enough, do you?
Anger the general public at your own peril. The elite always believe themselves invulnerable, until they find it proven otherwise.

There is an asteroid-sized pile of potential applications, for which gold is currently ruled out due to the cost of obtaining sufficient quantities, while gold is strictly superior to some other material in all other respects. Subbing in cheaper gold does make us all richer. Most people have no idea how much money is lost every year to corrosion.

Hamachi had its place back in mid-00's, but I agree that a need for zeroconf LAN bridging has gone down substantially since then.

I do think however that extracting its p2p tunneling bit into a separate service could be a good thing to do even now. Its NAT punching was server-driven, which was (and still is!) a superior way to do it. Better timing, tighter port prediction. Heck, it could even establish _TCP_ tunnels through the simultaneous open trick.
UK's experience since introducing a minimum wage doesn't bear this out. All the warnings of inflation, fewer jobs and so on were given. They haven't come to pass.

Even those you might expect to stand against a minimum wage, like some of those bodies and the Tory party who argued hard against its introduction, have called for increases beyond inflation.
Precisely how is an underground movement that cannot spread their ideas in public going to repeat the holocaust? How is forcing people to stay silent about their nightmarish beliefs going to possibly be worse than what we've already witnessed?

People just take it as an axiom that forcing ideas underground makes things worse but that seems like an idea that requires some support.

Racism is a security vulnerability in our brains. These ideas aren't propagated through reason. They are propagated by exploiting cognitive loopholes. Sitting down with your kid and showing them a whole bunch of fascist propaganda and then having a rational discussion with them isn't going to have the effect you want.

I probably made my point poorly. I'm not saying that things need to change to accommodate me. I'm saying that at a macro scale, it has an impact on people (and likely society) no matter how we look at it, because you can't fix everyone.

If we should do something about it or not is a completely different topic.
If you told someone from 1700 about any modern surgery they would think you are nuts for risking it - the little yellow pill is is less risky to them.

I wouldn't be the first to try your yellow pills on the street, but I know some people who would be. If they found it worked they would tell everybody, so things would quickly spread. (I'll ignore the FDA though government is a factor in the real world) In a few years people would be asking me why I haven't gone for those yellow pills yet...
Why go anywhere, it'd be really nice if one lower level (frontend sense not hardware sense) won for a bit so we could build things on top of it.

I like complete frameworks with all the edges knocked off, good documentation and a clean upgrade path.

Lets have that instead of "It's like react but uses a totally different paradigm and is .1% faster".

Lets build cool things instead of rebuilding things to make cool things.

FWIW I don't use react I use vue because at the time I was looking vue was nearer to what I wanted.

Zen 4 is a new socket. Which really give AMD a chance to support DDR5 along with PCI-E 5.0.

Definitely agree on the IO die. Not sure what plan AMD has with IO die, currently it is on 14nm only to use up all the Wafer Agreement that had with GF, and we are not sure how long that agreement last or if it makes sense to switch the IO die to FD-SOI which is GF's forte at the moment.

The number of people that enjoy those sorts of things in the UK is essentially negligible, though. That's not really what people are talking about when they discuss housing issues.

The issue is more with the lack of decently sized and equipped flats, and terraced / semi detached family housing with small gardens reasonably close to transport links.
I've tried to get into anomie repeatedly. So many great programmers seem to love it, so I feel like it might help me code better. But I just can't do it. There's so little substance. It's as if the appeal of 99% of anomies is some pathetic, parainfatuatory relationship between the (male) viewer and the (female) characters, and the worldbuilding and story are total afterthoughts. And it's not even like they fully leverage the sexual appeal; it's just endless teasing and beating around the bush. It's very strange.
There isn't a true meritocracy but it's "good enough" in Silicon Valley. Nothing will be perfect but what we have right now is better than any union. Unions will select for those workers with more seniority which is objectively worse than selecting for those with more skill.

>>Sure you would, because you believe that you'd be able to find another job.

No, I don't. I honestly believe that if I can't keep up I don't deserve a job. Period, end of story.

>> Some of us think the system is broken and benefits the few at the expense of the many, and that doesn't seem "fair" to us.

I don't see this in Silicon Valley at all. I think underperforming tech workers deserve to not reap the same benefits as the performing engineers. The bar keeps rising every year, I know this because I've been here 25 years, but it's fairly applied, or at least as fair as can possibly be applied.
At the core, wealth is actually time. Wealthy people have more of their time to purpose. Poor people have less.

If we suddenly get a lot of new resources, we should ask how does that impact people's time, and those answers will indicate meaningful changes in wealth.

Just as examples:

The CEO making millions, but also working non stop, could be fairly poor in the basic sense. Slave to the job. One can make the argument they want to do that, etc... and once family, other basics are factored in, that argument may not be as easy as one might think.

Close that next deal, or attend the soccer game?

Another example may be someone who has very little financially, but maybe lives lean, has few dependencies. They may just not need too much, and have lots of time to purpose. That person is fairly wealthy, despite a low net worth.
> Is there any good economic theory on how to set minimum wages?

It's not an objective question, it's a question of balancing effects which depends on subjective preference, so even if there were solid models which would precisely predict all the effects (which there aren't, even approximately) they wouldn't be theories on how to set minimum wages.

(If you mean ideological theories as opposed to scientific theories, then there are plenty of those on the topic in economics, though whether they are “good” or not is a matter of taste.)

On a side note, this is why geometry operations (and particularly reprojections/etc) are sometimes best treated like cryptography: "don't roll your own, use a library".

It's not an absolute, by any means, but a GEOS/etc dependency is often well worth the pain of getting spatial operations correct.

That having been said, I've made very similar mistakes embarrassingly recently...
The counter point to that is that the current minimum wage for a full time job with no time off comes to ~15k a year just barely over the poverty line for a person living alone and under the poverty line for two people living together without kids. So in reality with even a small amount of time off or not working 40 hour weeks 100% of the time minimum wage isn't enough to keep someone off Federal/State assistance.

This is basically a subsidy to these companies by the government supporting lower wages for them when they're already quite profitable.
"There is considerable uncertainty about how the employment of either teens or adults responds to changes in the federal minimum wage."
> We have an abundance of silicon, that hasn't sparked any sort of revolution around silicon.

...But it has? Think of all the things we make out of silicon and silicon compounds. Buildings, glass, countertops, tools, computers, etc...

If silicon were rarer we would surely not be making buildings and windows out of silicon compounds! Some of these do not have easy replacements. You can make buildings without silicon (many are made without) but without silicon we would have a hard time coming up with something like glass. Glass fueled a lot of our scientific revolutions, giving us glassware for chemistry, optics for microscopes and telescopes, etc.

Who can know how long it might have taken for us to discover the theory of gravity, cell theory, germ theory, or large chunks of chemistry without glass.
Genuinely curious: what is your experience with python? What have you used it to do that requires so many packages?
The point, that I pray you aren't missing by being deliberately obtuse, is that for as bad as things may be today it's possible for things to become worse. And giving American corporations free reign to run social experiments in Africa, like creating their own currency, is a quick path to discovering ways to make it worse.
I've worked in an environment that was similar, but the difference was that the support folks haven't got enough power, or technical knowledge, to effectively manage the interface. I think that ops groups are the way to go, and devops is not an enterprise or long term ready prospect.
Ah, ok, really interesting thanks. With this type of deep integration & communication needed between the two, I can see why running everything in the same JVM is a better solution.
Who you know always has and always will be more important than what you know. If you don't know everybody find that person who does. Remember, Jobs got richer than Woz, but Woz wouldn't have anything without Jobs: take what you can get and don't worry about someone else getting more so long as you are not completely cheated.
Both silver and gold would be pretty good candidates for unlocking some great upgrades to both industrial and everyday items (silver is the most conductive metal, gold is an excellent conductor that's virtually rust free).

Lithium and cobalt are a major cost for Li-Ion batteries, tanking their price could transform the world with cheap(er) energy storage.
For someone who has no experience with Mattermost, can you explain? This seems crazy.
I also remember this story and hearing that it was just made-up rather than real. However, I know a lot of professional artists and most of them do not have a process that consists of "sitting and thinking about what to make." It is often a generative process that consists of making small/sketchy things and iteratively fleshing it out. In other words, although that anecdote doesn't seem to be referencing any sort of study, it matches very well with my experience in the art world & in teaching art.

> If companies didn’t need those folks, they wouldn’t hire them.

Precisely - the issue is that this is a flawed voting mechanism.

I have more money than most people in the UK. There are a whole host of reasons for that - some hard work, but a lot of them essentially random/arbitrary.

As a result, I have the power to hire people if I so choose. In a smaller sense you're doing that any time you spend money.

But in an unequal society, that means that the majority of decisions end up being made by a small elite.
That only really applies to prestige uses; to go with the De Beer analogy a 500 carat "jewel" diamond goes for $50 million, yet some researcher needing an artificial diamond optic lens the size of a dinner plate can get one made for just a couple million.
As a fellow retrocomputing enthusiast I really enjoyed this story. Thanks for sharing and best of luck with the restoration!
Only in nominal terms, and assuming that a significant portion of the world holds any gold. In real terms, everyone would be 1kg of gold richer.

Think about it this way: what if we gave everyone in the world a brand new iPhone. It's true that the resale value of an iPhone would decrease, but would the world really be poorer? I think that's a very hard argument to make.

Nurses in the UK are relatively poorly paid: https://nursingnotes.co.uk/agenda-for-change-pay-scales-2019.... They start at Band 5, which is about 24,000 pounds annually. That’s about $30,000 per year for a job that requires a three-year university education. (Somewhere between an ADN and BSN in the US.) London gets a 20% or so bump, so let’s say $36,000. A VA nurse in NYC starts at more than double that, over $78,000: https://www.va.gov/OHRM/Pay/2019/LPS/NY.xls.

Yeah, that wouldn't happen. Though maybe it would bring down the cost of certain scientific equipment. Countries like India would probably suffer since they "invest" heavily in gold.
