While I don't wish for this level of utilitarianism and inequality, I do wish our system here in the US had this level of organized clarity that you are describing. I think instead much more of the problem needs to be attributed to sheer incompetence and bureaucratic inefficiency.

Recently I went to the local medical center and had got some basic checkups and diagnostics. The healthcare was fine, but the billing and medical record interactions were terrible. The negotiation about the amount I owed, which was always in the $50-150 range, was dragged out over six months and involved five different corporations (the medical center, their independent billing agency, the collections agency, my insurer, and my insurer's third party negotiation firm). It went to collections even though all parties had agreed it should be on hold pending the "investigation", which never seemed to bring any new details to light. Then finally they lowered it significantly at the end and never provided a reason why it was different.
A very large number of SAAS products are built in (or started out in) Ruby, including these that I know of: Github, Gitlab, Twitter, Shopify, Stripe, AirBNB. There are more but those are the ones that come to the top of my mind.

The engineers working at those places represent a non-trivial chunk of the software engineering world, especially in San Francisco, and SWE’s (especially in San Francisco) are a major cohort of HN readers.

Additionally, the Ruby ecosystem had a major influence on many other ecosystems that spun out for various reasons. For example, Sinatra popularized the “minimal REST framework” and has been a major design influence on dozens of others, like ExpressJS and Flask. CoffeeScript, which established “transpile into JavaScript” as a thing, and profoundly influenced the shape of ES6, was heavily adopted and made prominent by the Rails team. Similarly notable projects like Ember, Elixir and Phoenix, were created by former Ruby and Rails core team members, Crystal is inspired by it, and plenty of older projects like SailsJS or Grails for groovy, etc. IIRC Rust’s cargo package management system and JS Yarn were also inspired by and contributed to by Ruby core folks. It’s influence is a lot bigger than its footprint.

So Ruby is a nice, elegant language with a lot of influence in the software world, it’s used by many readers here, and a lot of people here have “warm fuzzy feelings” about it enjoy sharing and discussing interesting news or tidbits about it.

That’s why :)
Earning potential is a proxy for usefulness, which is in turn a guide for resource allocation. If you rule it out as a criteria then you're basically arguing to fund lots of useless stuff, which is a pretty common academic argument, but hard to justify when people have to get into life-long debt to fund it.

#1: Using Kubernetes
Hey just some feedback. The UX there is wrong because there is instant feedback in the toggling of the activate/deactivate button but a slight delay in the reaction time for the selected row (due to the round trip). I believe the correct paradigm here is for the button to not toggle state until the response is received/acted upon (to indicate a short “hang”).

Thank you -- it's food for thought.

A symmetric dual is one where there is equivalence: the dual of the dual is the primal.

But it is possible to have a "weak" duality that is assymmetric, where the dual encompasses the primal -- where there are regions of equivalence instead of a 1-to-1 equivalence.

I'm not sure if stream-duality fits this conceptual mold exactly but thank you for providing a counterpoint to my assertion. I'm going to think on it.
The primary reason I follow Corbett is that he is good at doing research. However, I can't always follow the connections he attempts to make.

There are notable strange things around Gates. He doesn't promote things like clean water or refrigeration, which has long been among the very biggest problems in Africa (aside from horrifying levels of corruption). For the current crisis, he doesn't promote living a healthy lifestyle. The clip of the creepy conclusion of Melinda Gates and the reporter that the obvious problem in Africa is too many children. Somehow the only feasible technology to solve all mankind's greatest problems (like too many children) is a massive tracking apparatus. His being presented on every media outlet as an authority on anything without a single question as to why he is such an authority.
Imo you need to become awesomely fit and maintain that level for at least a year before your late 30's. I believe this gives your body an ability that it simply never develops otherwise.

I was a serious athlete (and I smoked too) into my early 30's. In fact my fitness level at age 29 was on par with elite Olympic athletes proven by laboratory testing. Fast forward to my early 50's--I had some injuries and truth be told I hadn't worked out for about 10 years.

Two things changed that: a dream in which I couldn't do even 1 pushup, and a bad reaction to an antibiotic which caused nerve damage in my dominant arm. So five years ago, at 55, I started working out again (I also had quit smoking the year before). Today I'm 60 years old, and I can plank for 4 minutes and 30 seconds. I recently did 70 consecutive pushps, and I can do over 60 consecutive situps. I recently (about 6 weeks ago) started running stairs where I work and I can run up over 6 stories at a time--this has increased my core strength by leaps and bounds in a really short time: again a 4:30 second plank time.

As a side note; in the past 5 years I have lost about 33 pounds and I now weigh what I did at 18. I continue to make gains fitness-wise and I feel in some areas I am the strongest I have ever been in my life. I credit this largely to the fact that I was so fit 30 years ago.. and genes I'm assuming play a part in this.

TUI for order entry or accounting sounds great (worked with such a system in the 90s, clerks achieved amazing speed using such a system, it would be all but impossible using "modern" web interface), but most of the reporting/dashboarding (i.e. high level views of the data) would be better in a more modern fashion. Under a TUI you could have something that communicates with the backend using modern web technologies, that sounds great :)
I don’t see it on npm either. Their docs recommend people use bazel.

When using a library pushes you to use their build toolchain, I start to wonder what their motive is.
this is my first smoker. i had no idea what i was even getting when i ordered a traeger. a pal works there and i moved into a place with a lot of space and got me half off the Ironwood 650. I love it and would really recommend a pellet grill to start. It's _SO_ easy. you set the temp on the grill, forget it, and measure the temp of the meat.

so, get a meat probe. https://www.thermoworks.com/Thermapen-Mk4 is the best one, thermoworks also has probes that you can use the entire cook.

So it's okay in your opinion to curtail some constitutional rights when it makes sense to you, but not others? That's a pretty inconsistent position.

The argument being made for warheads is the same as that for staying inside: not doing so would pose an outsize danger to others. Whether I agree or disagree isn't the point personally, I'm arguing that the curtailments follow from the same basic premise and are likely legal. We'll see how it plays out.
nice tool, specially modern programmer is always switching context and I always loose my prev notes. right now my notes and gist's are spread around multiple google drives and my GitHub account.

Even if I adopt this tool, my biggest fear is, this website will disappear one day. and how about security. what if my personal notes have passwords.

and second biggest fear is, if my company firewall this site, then I am back to same situation

1) That's not an argument they've made or implied by their actions. If Facebook didn't follow the law they'd be much easier to deal with.

This will not help determine the true price of IP, as such a system will be endlessly exploited by bad faith actors.
Should have specified what country. In US, that pay check is more likely going to help the military complex build more weapons than hospitals provide for the needy.

In US, poor people are seen as worker bees who just get enough to live and have an illusion of freedom.
oh yes of course my point wasn't that you could target companies with totally different requirements just because you think you can bring value.

But it's exactly what you said: because the market is so competitive you are far likely to get a job even by just focusing on the technology you are really interested in.

Don't know if you'll consider these valid, but here are some critiques of the LVT and Georgism:

The best criticism I've found, however, is here: https://www.orionsarm.com/fm_store/Critique%20of%20Georgism..... It's from a more mainstream economist POV (I think?) than the other links and is far more fair and detailed.
Oh boy, this is a long one and a bit off topic but oh well...

> I definitely sacrifice other aspects of life in the name of getting things done.

You kind of nailed it. It's just a question of what kind of sacrifices you're willing to make. In my case, at a young age(20-ish) due to a million and one reasons(parents far away and unable to help, those supposed to be "close" to me stabbing me in the back without any hesitation whatsoever), this became my personal life. It sounds pretty sad that I spent most of my 20's buried in work but long-term, if that hadn't been the case, my mind cannot even begin to imagine how I would have been able to handle everything that came after that. And even till this day, sacrificing my personal life is always the simple and obvious choice, at the expense of some occasional gloomy moods of course. As a side effect, I became very self-sufficient, which does come in handy when someone close to me is facing a problem - I can give a hand. It also pushed me to develop some extreme pedantism which would make the stereotype for German pedantism look like child's play. But one of the most crucial things I do is I spent 30 minutes before bedtime reviewing all my todo's, appointments, arrangements and issues, 15 minutes of which I spend sorting them by priority:

1. Critical - near life and death situations, forget sleeping, eating or showering, tackle as soon as I finish the list.

2. High - Something that needs to be resolved within the next 2 days.

3. Medium - Can hold for a week but get to them asap.

4. Low - Completely trivial but annoying stuff like being out of coffee.

The next 15 minutes I make a plan about each of the things on the list, and set alarms, notes, reminders and routes if that involves going somewhere.

On the subject of notes - English isn't my first language, however unless any of the things on the list are strictly local, all notes are in English, even the coffee shortage: more resources online, easier to search and get informed if needed. I can't tell you how much time that has saved me.

As soon as priorities of type 1 and 2 are clear, life can proceed as normal. Now that you made me think about it, this process might have taught me to build incredibly elaborate and complex plans with little to no effort and being incredibly flexible. I really hadn't thought about it but there might be something to this, who knows... Bottom line is, despite a number of brutal challenges in the last several years, those few simple rules have kept me sane, have helped me solve all of them while staying healthy and fit. And at the moment I can honestly enjoy my weekend.

As for the blogging, and clean HTML - yes and no. It is definitely the easiest to setup and get running, I agree. But if I'm on the go and the only thing I have on me is my phone, writing HTML over ssh isn't really ideal. Which is why I built this - it renders markdown as HTML out of the box, so adding something is as easy as creating an .md file, adding a link, commit and push. This will take you 10-15 minutes to set-up but it renders well on all devices I've tried, and has absolutely 0 maintenance required afterwards.
I'm happy with Amazon, if you don't like them then don't use them, but don't punish us all with going back to the shitty local commerce.
Alpaca is very interesting, I've been following them since the beginning. The sad thing is that I'm not from the US and it's still not available for residents of my country (Paraguay in South America).
Totally agree. I have 100+ repositories open sourced (Just launched this website yesterday! https://statux.dev/), a handful of them with 1k+ stars, and for the most part it's just me maintaining those.

This is besides my fulltime job, friends and hobbies. So I don't really have much time for growing a community, I've done some effort in the past when I had more time and it worked fairly well, but I found it to be very project-oriented in general so if you do many smaller projects (as opposed to few large ones) the community approach doesn't scale well.

I don't encounter many mean/crazy people! I can count them with one hand. I find few entitled people, but most people I've found are nice.

Yeah, I wondered about that: is one dose enough for complete treatment 1 person or is it one "pill" and patients need X pills per day for Y days?
Yes, but focusing on the interest rates is reasoning from a price change. Interest rates are going down due to central bank action to combat deflationary pressure, so you can’t just look at interest rates in a vacuum and say that the rate of return is going down.

Otherwise why has the value of the dollar increased since early March?

Also, you realize that when the fed “sets rates” it’s not literally the rate of interest in your bank account, right?

There are lots of countries which only gained independence relatively recently. I assume there are still people around who started issuing Estonian passports from an underground government in the eighties when the country was still officially part of Soviet Union. The country's latest innovation has been e-residency which anyone can apply for.

It has been done and it has been a roaring success.
You are forgetting the other half of the equation. The web must have a first class payment system. Nothing is free; money will be made overtly or covertly. If there is no honest overt method, there will be a dishonest covert method.
I guess you mean that Java 11 is not available on 18.04 by default, right? Java 11 was release in September 2018, so I guess Ubuntu 18.04, which came in April 2018, didn't have any chance to include it. Therefore you have to make an extra step to setup a ppa repo with software that didn't exist at the moment of release.

Otherwise, at least with Ubuntu 19.04 which I have, it's simple `sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk-headless`
Desktop apps build on Electron should be a good fit for Deno, because Denos API is more like a Browser API than like the Node API.
Where it really shines, when you have to manipulate, transform data. You can chain commands as you do with Unix pipes. You can read left to right, and know what is your data structure looks like at each step.
You can ship the JVM with your app such that it's self-contained and system independent. Apps like IntelliJ already do this. And now with jlink, you can strip it down to make deployment sizes even smaller by only shipping the parts of the JVM that your app uses.
Overall this is the best big picture answer
I've never seen the numbers proposed in a way that makes sense.

We know what the total budget is right now, at a national, state, and local level. And we know where that income is coming from -- mostly a mix of income, property, sales, payroll, corporate, and other taxes. And crucially we know exactly what the breakdown of that taxation burden is on various people in various financial situations.

I want to see the numbers on this Georgian proposal that show the total revenue at federal, state, and local levels. Is the total amount of tax the same? Or are we talking about radically reduced tax revenue in total? And how does the distribution of who pays this tax change under the new system? Then, and only then, with these figures, we can look at the proposal and see if it remotely makes sense using the typical criteria of (a) is there enough funding for current levels of government services at all levels, (b) are the changes in who's paying how much in taxes fair and equitable, etc.

I really want to see a full proposal on exactly what a typical individual and corporate tax bill for a variety of common situations, and I want to see that those numbers all add up to enough revenue.

You're kinda omitting the insane amount of configuration you can give to pretty much every hashicorp product and cockroachdb

I think the big difference is that Java projects TEND to be more 'up front' about their configuration options, with shipped default files with a lot of the options already set to some default value, while projects like the ones you mentioned require you to look up every property yourself and set it to something if you want to change it from the default.
While the sibling comment correctly points out Dark Star as the movie, I'd also like to point out Starship Titanic - Douglas Adams was involved in the game, based on a throwaway line from one of the Hitchhiker novels. Terry Jones novelized the game. Both include a talking bomb where the plot involves distracting the bomb until it looses track and has to start counting down all over again.
