I think you are missing the point about housing. Quite the opposite if I understand what you are suggesting. The main problem is that somebody who doesn't own your land can say what you can build or cannot. That's why developers cannot build housing. From that perspective, best incentive would be to leave the housing development for markets instead of politicians. Now politicians with town's majority favor can decide who benefits making it non-fair for the minority of voters.

Sponsorships are down too. It's true that mobile game ads and sponsorships are up, as well as a few other niche fields. Doesn't come close to making up for the drop in ads and sponsorships from many other fields though. (Including automotive, with which I'm most familiar.) It's not just obvious things like gyms, rec centers and restaurants. People are buying less of almost everything now, both because their incomes are down and/or less certain, and because there's less ability to use many common products (like cars). Therefore advertising has less impact, so even those companies that still have the cashflow for advertising are cutting back since the ROI isn't there.
> Hacker News supposedly has a rule against shallow comments and yet for some reason knee jerk requests for sources with no additional substance to drive the dialogue forward are considered 'reasonable'.

There's also a rule that you are aware of, having read the rules, about not creating throwaway accounts routinely. Though to be fair to you, it doesn't specifically say don't create a throwaway because you don't want to abuse other posters under your regular account.

That seems like a strange thing to do, though, when your side of the argument is "wildly uncontroversial".
I don't think the person was referring to COVID-19 specifically but just other ailments that could be treated with those? /shrug
All I know is that the streets are just as crowded, people are still going out and businesses are still open. There are plenty of news reports showing that.

There is no known method of stopping the spread of this disease. Even if you flatten the curve, without a vaccine, the area under the curve remains the same.
The question here is, "is is CCP propaganda, and how much of it?"

A lot of this is a direct result of feeling that one always needs to be on the bleeding edge, which is both unnecessary and also a recipe for wasting time on fads.

As an analogy, consider fiction. Imagine reading as many new novels as possible as they're released. Well, most of these novels will be completely irrelevant 5 years from now. The good ones stand the test of time. So you might as well only read novels that are 5+ years old, yet are still relevant and receive acclaim.

If you worry that taking this approach with JavaScript will make you fall behind, my question is: Behind whom, exactly?

There's no way many in the industry can keep up with all the changes you listed as fast as they're coming out. Therefore, it follows that a great many of your JS developer peers are "behind." Therefore, it's okay for you to be, too.

What happens to me, personally, is I start on some new project or company using a pretty recent stack at the time. Over the course of the next few years, that stack becomes "outdated" as new things are released. However, it also matures as its documentation improves and its community grows. Eventually, after 2-5 years, I move on to another project, and just take that time to catch up on the latest. The result is that I end up skipping a lot of the fads that die on the vine. For example, I largely missed CoffeeScript.

I think a lot of pain from JS comes from the expectation that one can and should keep up, when you probably can't, and definitely shouldn't.
My hyperbole aside, real people do behave like this. Look at the guys buying up all the hand sanitizer. Look at all the hoarding and panic buying that went on. It's 18 months or so before we get a vaccine. There's plenty of incentive to hoard PPE.

And even taking your clinic example, you see the same issues there. If rich clinics outbid poor clinics for a limited supply, we'll see rich places stocking up and poor places going without.
Louisiana didn't close bars and restaurants until March 16th[1], which seems to be the same day that NY did as well[2]. Anecdotally, people were still gathering and going out in the french quarter right up until the ban took effect.

Actually there are a lot of posts(pics, videos) on China social media from doctors showing they were lack of PPE, and using even plastic bags. It is not they said that china gov controls all media and social posts. And most of the videos u saw on twitter which gov staffs' violence are posted on Chinese social media first to explore and report this to the gov. They are just similar to other countries' gov staffs' enforcement violations. It happends sometimes, but when it happened in China, they tagged "CCP violence".

I do the same thing with Wireguard. I have a "LAN" which consists of my workstation, 2 dedis, random VMs on demand, iPhone, iPad, home devices and two resolvers, one of which is a PiHole.

It's a spectacular experience when it comes to accessing all your stuff without multiple logins (since none of it is exposed to the internet) and Wireguard is blazing fast.
> No, it doesn't.

Competition can also do it, but idk how that eliminates minimum wage from doing it. Neither raises revenue, both simply put pressure on profit margins. The only difference is one is regulation, the other is market force.

> It might limit value extraction where there is a monopsony purchaser of labor who is not also a monopoly supplier of the good produced with that labor, but that's not actually all that common a situation.

I think that's a very narrow view. If you look at Walmart and the like, these are still huge chunks of the market with low pay precisely because of economies of scale, so they are monopsony purchasers, even without being the only supplier or a product.

Also not covered is that with high unemployment, competition isn't there. People in minimum wage job searches are often picking between a job and no job, not two different jobs. You're assuming that employment markets are both efficient and equally balanced.

> If there is work to be done that genuinely has value less than the minimum wage

I think this is where the moral disagreement comes in. An economy that regularly squeezes people below living wage for work needs to be corrected. Minimum wage is an attempt at that by lowering corporate profit.

> Any legitimate moral purpose of minimum wage is served better by taxing business income and high-end personal (including capital) income and providing a UBI as high as economic productivity can bear without out-of-control inflation.

I would love to see this! But realistically that's not politically possible (though it is looking more so with the pandemic but still, generally speaking) and we can't be idealistically categorical in our policy. Minimum wage is fully pragmatic to me, not an ideal. It's a net positive compared to the current situation.
Free markets are not magic sparkle ponies. They're good at certain kinds of optimization. They're bad at others. Disasters are a known case when markets fail.

What the other guy said. Also, segments have overlap and you can target.

If all 100 of the streamers creating content about diy synthesizers have an audience that also watches this larger channel about vintage amplifiers, I might be better consolidating my spend there...or if I'm a small advertiser with a tiny budget, I might be better off doing just the opposite and spending tiny amounts at the 100 small channels.

The point is that as an advertiser I'm almost fully in control over my own destiny, which is simply not true with television and radio networks.

Advertisers and Content Creators aren't really against each other...they're kind of following separate destinies, but if a Content Creator is entirely reliant on Advertisers for their funding model and the market is heavily skewed in favor of Advertisers like online content and newspapers are now, then Content Creators are going to have a really bad time. And there's a bloodbath just over the horizon.

If you look at Netflix, it's the opposite problem. Content Creators are reaping huge rewards and Advertisers have no power, but that's also financially untenable.

> So I had a higher chance of dying from this disease than winning a raffle at a small concert.

I know this is not the main topic of this article, but I’ll steal this sentence to convey the importance of taking precautions against COVID-19 to people who feel that it’s statistically irrelevant.
I'd argue that capitalism selects not only for certain types of brains (in a sort of accelerated natural selection geared towards intellectual ability), but for certain memes as well. It selects for "social memes" that determine corporate culture, which contributes largely to whether a company succeeds or not. It also selects for more "ideological memes" that serve as the basis for the company itself.

A company's success is the result of a meme (or set of memes) the founder created (or borrowed) and convinced others to buy into. Others only buy into the meme if they believe it would be beneficial to themselves as well. Thus the system as a whole selects for memes that provide high benefit to society.
I disagree with you but it is pointless to argue as you very clearly believe your truth to be the universal truth.

Let's leave at this and wish you the best!
Probably 20 years ago, you were not excited by programming... You were excited by what you can achieve with it... Get back to that realisation again by coding something that's impacting someone... For example, Take google spreadsheet and generate inference from some public data, further more do some automation around it and get more stuff.. See if you can help people at this time of crisis.. Get back to the excitement of achieving...
Thank you. That's, um, weird. I wonder why that works.
He has a larger-than-you-would-expect catalogue of original songs, and they're good, too. From both a musical and a songwriting/structural perspective. No joke!
One reason is that: transistor size and switching speed. Though the technology of the 6502 probably could go 50MHz? 100MHz? Not sure. Would it be equivalent to 74HC TTL line? Again not sure

But the main (basic) reason is that the internal logic blocks don't worry too much about processing and arrival times beyond the speed at which they need to operate. What's simultaneous at 1MHz might be not so simultaneous at 10MHz or 100MHz

Another (advanced) reason why overclocking it might be hard is EM interference inside and outside the chip.
> surplus could be read as greed, decadence, or even waste

Or as a buffer. E.g., who knew that overcapacity in a hospital could be beneficial? So once more, the veracity of such statements depends on the context.
If TP costs $1 a roll to make and is currently selling at $10 a roll, the store selling for $9 wins the game. Then the store selling for $8, ...$7, etc. all the way down to the point where no one is left who is willing to compromise their living standards by dropping their profit margin below a certain percentage.

The rules of the game are that:

(1) If you collude to keep prices up you go to jail.

(2) Citizens must be allowed to move about freely to find the cheapest TP.

(3) It’s also cheating if you own such massive amounts of the economy that what you lose in TP profits you gouge back in cell phone bills.

(4) A basic standard of living has to be upheld by society to stop the TP manufacturers from only hiring 20 somethings, and contriving a social world that venerates business, hustle and money above all else such that their workers have to live with housemates well into their 30s in tiny apartments without gardens which cost them 65% of their salary in rent to landlords whose debt is owned by the TP companies financing subsidiary ok I need a cup of tea and a back rub now.
With appcache / service workers and indexeddb you could probably build a tiny auditable offline loader, and then have it “install” payloads of which you can first verify signatures or audit the code. The main question remains why though.
Hah, you are right and it makes it into a truly fantastic.
I've been going through SICP for a year and a half now on and off. At this point I don't feel I've been getting back all the effort I put in it.

I think it's mostly recommended by people who didn't do all the exercises, or casually browsed through it and all they were left with was the fact that you can write a programming book without mentioning assignments until halfway through or that it's more easy to write a scheme interpreter in scheme than other languages.

But the book is really dense, and you won't be left with much after trying to debug your hundreds line script meant to solve one problem.

If it's any comfort, the EU accessibility directive might make things a little bit better. Where I work (a Danish university) developers are scrambling to make sure that every website is either made accessible in 2020 or marked as exempt (because it's old and unmaintained). At my old job no one gave a crap about accessibility, but I do think the directive will make it a much bigger deal in the future.

Obviously, this website is not part of the European public sector, but forcing so many European Web developers to research and implement accessible websites must have some spillover effects over time.

> People whose labor is worth less than the minimum wage become unemployable. Being unemployed means you can’t acquire skills or experience and is bad for your mental health and social attachment.

Could being employed on a low wage also have it's own negative hedonic consequences? I suppose you have answered the question: 'What happens if you change this single lever of minimum wage in terms of employment?' But whether it is harmful also depends upon other government economic policy, specifically welfare. The trade-offs for minimum wage, in this light, don't exactly speak of how it is 'harmful' in an ethical sense, but it's specific effect on unemployment.

In terms of minimum wage and how it harms the economy, it would be interesting to know if a higher minimum wage has as effect on Economic Complexity and whether that would have a net benefit to an economy?

I find it ok for it's intended original use, which is browser scripting. It's totally fine to write small JS scripts to make the pages a bit more interactive.

People got it wrong when they started writing huge applications in JS.

Just because a language is Turing complete, it doesn't mean it's fitted for everything.

> surrendering their presence in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia pays the US to occupy military bases temporarily during crises, for example when Iraq annexed Kuwait. I presume the contract ended, and the US military left. It's not any more complicated than that.

One of the reasons that Saudi Arabia trusts the US is that the US has rarely occupied a country in modern times with a plan for long-term occupation or colonization. They either leave, or maintain a base, and then leave.

That's very unlike Russia, for example, whose doctrine is that if a country shares a border, then they get permanently occupied.

Subjective perspective from personal experience:

We program for various reasons.

We got into it because we loved it then it became our job and what started as something we do for fun became something we do to survive. We no longer have a lot of freedom what we want to program and we are required to code for objectives that doesn't interest us.

On top of that, it becomes something that identifies us and more or less the only tool we have at hand to prove we are successful.

Many start dreaming how can they change the world with this tool and invent the next big thing.

We start attempting to hit jackpots by creating one project after the other and failing miserably in all.

By late 20s mid 30s we get burnt out from failure and many move to management.

The ones that stick are the ones that program for no reason other than they enjoy it and are content with that. They aren't trying to change the world, become super rich etc. Sometimes they do by mere luck but it wasn't their intention.

My suggestion here is to tinker. For example, when was the last time you benchmarked a string comparison function and found out exactly why it bottlenecks down to the cpu instructions, instruction ordering, barriers, caching etc ? It's fun and can suck you in for days and a great learning experience. The example here is specific, but the gist of it is not. I hope it helps you.
You're wrong :)

IPCs for 6502 or Z80 (4x "faster" clock but 3-6 cycles per machine cycle) processors were at the count of clock cycles per instruction

Even a measly 386/486 were much faster than that.

Enter the Pentium with the ability to execute 2 instructions in parallel.

IPC count were the big gainers recently as well
Thanks ksaj for your answer. Most people I talk to say similar things. I have belief situation will change after remote work culture becomes widespread because of corona lockdown
There's a difference between "easy" and "simple." Emacs is not easy to use, but learning it may lead to simplicity. Have you ever noticed, there's a correlation between something hard to learn and simplicity and vice-versa? i.e., something that is easy to pick up, very often over time, becomes hard to extend and not so simple to use anymore. Experts use tools that are not easy to learn. But learning them simplifies things for them later.

Can you imagine if someone tries to re-design a cockpit of a commercial airliner and replace all the instruments with a single touch-based display, a la Tesla, because that's more intuitive and easy?
I think it's very nice, and should be the default behavior. Ergonomics of GNU tooling is lacking to say the least. That's why we love fdfind and ripgrep and love find/grep way less.

I would use it if it were the default behavior, but the problem is already solved by the "moreutils" package, which I install on all my machines. This lets you do:

vidir filename

or

vidir directory # default to .

And it will open your $EDITOR with one file name per line. You edit it in the comfort of your favorite editor, and it batch renames for you, or rename the single file for the first case.

Note that if you use vscode, $EDITOR should be "code -w", not just "code".

People often criticize clones and parodies as cheap and derivative, but I think to make a good clone you have to understand the original and what makes it tick. Not just what is the original like, but why is it like that, where did it came from and what inspired it.
