Isn't uniqueness typing just a more restrictive form to Rust's linear types? And since Rust itself is often forced to rely on unsafe blocks for programming tasks (as opposed to computing tasks), then wouldn't that be true of a language with uniqueness types as well?

Also, I'm guessing you mean Clean or Miranda? Any idea why they aren't more popular than Haskell? Or why Haskell doesn't adopt uniqueness typing?
This is a rather optimistic view. Historically speaking, the capitalist class generally wields enough financial and political power to prevent a massive transfer of power to workers. We've seen this with the buildup and erosion of labor movements in the 20th century and since.

So whatever inherit or natural benefits may come about for workers due to the remote work boom, it's likely these gains will be purposefully offset.
On the other hand, it is sometimes said (in folk circles, I'll admit, I haven't seen papers about this) that the good performance of Chinese students is related to having to learn a very difficult writing system, which acts as a cognitive "exercise" or stimulation.

So what's better to learn as a child, an easy to learn language or a really difficult one? Or maybe an easy one orally but a difficult writing system? I have no idea, but it's an interesting question indeed.

> pension

In many European countries (e.g. UK), the pension contributions are a form of income tax (i.e. proportional to income), while the pension is a fixed sum that barely allows you to survive - regardless of how much you've paid in contributions. I don't know how SS works in the US, but it's hard to imagine a worse system.

It's what is done in Australia. It works pretty well.

Failing grades are not handed out this way, if you demonstrate a basic understanding of the material you pass. But actually getting an HD, the top mark, is only for the top 20% or so from each class.

It means in Australia for a technical subject if you get First Class Honours you can get into a PhD program and get a scholarship and get through in 3 years if you work hard.
It's interesting that most of the organisations these announcements have been coming from take the opposite approach when it comes to interacting with their customers. It's almost impossible to talk to someone in person unless you are spending millions.
A large part of their business is already running on or compatible with Linux. The endgame is that they get your money regardless of what OS you are on.

I'd expect the importance of the windows kernel for revenue growth to be increasingly less important over time. Of course they won't drop it outright; at least not right away and it's likely to stay relevant for e.g. pcs/laptops and gaming. As for games and vr content, a lot of game studios already use cross platform sdks and Linux support for games with and without emulation is pretty decent these days. Also, Android and IOS are big targets for games.

Most hardware vendors don't target windows exclusively. Some do of course but a lot of hardware works fine on other platforms even if vendors don't actively support that. Anything intended for data centers runs linux primarily. Most laptop vendors have a few linux friendly laptops at least to not lose out on the pro developer market that tends to actually buy their more expensive laptops. Likewise, most graphics card vendors want to support e.g. machine learning and that requires linux driver support.

But I get what your saying. My observation is that MS is very friendly lately with Ubuntu. I don't think Mark Shuttleworth is interesting in selling that outright but an MS distribution might be a logical next step given their increased dependency on Linux on the Desktop and in the cloud.

I don't know if you live in the Netherlands, but stating "only certain businesses like brothels have been suspended" is a massive understatement of the impact of the "intelligent lockdown" as it is called.

Bars, gyms, schools have been closed for two months now. Only a few restaurants offer take-out and more offer delivery. Dining in is not possible. Work-from-home is default for everyone I know. Nursing homes have only just been allowing visitors again.

It is true that the Netherlands was not locked down, but people definitely are not going normal about their lives.

You indeed only need to seek consent when there is no other legal basis for collecting user data. Other legal bases include fulfilling a contract with someone (shipping something to their home) and if it's a vital interest (like saving the person's life by looking up their blood type by their name in a database).

On the other hand, GDPR also says you have to inform the data subject about the data processing, who you are, their rights, etc. Whether a link to the privacy policy at the bottom is enough, I don't remember off the top of my head, but I think so.
I think they were riding a wave as it was beginning to form; the microprocessor wave. It was very much part of a place in time but they made some exceptional choices given that context.

Volvo CEO: Pandemic will rapidly accelerate shift to electric cars
A year is a lot? Then what is 5 years, a lifetime?
Let's not fool ourselves, a year is NOTHING, it passes as soon as it arrives. There is nothing bad with people "loosing" a year or two, or perhaps even more.

In an ever more pacing world, we should readjust and look back, some might "sacrifice" a year, but they also learn valuable experience so not all is lost.

Today, when people's work time can last 50 years easily, what is a year or more?
Let people "search for themselves". Let them try out the hard things, let them explore and value experience, realize if something is for them or isn't.

In the end, we learn most from our mistakes, not successes.

Wow thanks, I'd give you 10 upvotes if I could. Honestly I think these points are fairly generic and not that surprising given the current discourse re work-life balance. It's not a secret that writing can be therapeutic and the usual problem statements revolve around: focus, structure, space.

> - Ulysses Organizes All Your Projects in One Place

My focus is to help you structure your thoughts by writing in a manner that's inherently unstructured or linear (literally a stream of consciousness). I don't care about organising your projects or text.

The previous prototype would not even allow you to read your notes for 2-3 days. It'd take them hostage and send to your email.

> - Ulysses Lets You Work Anywhere, Anytime
> vs. "[...] find a quiet space."

I mean the mental space.

Although similar phrases are used, their meaning is vastly different.

The idea for the app came from:

- the need to improve my writing fluency and fight anxiety
- I was inspired by the writing process of a certain author/blogger: dim the screen so I can barely see any text and focus on writing (I lost her/his name—if you now them, please let me know)
- Mihály Csíkszentmihályi and the concept of flow, burnout

I blame myself for not being creative enough wrt wording, but not for being repetitive in terms of product. I takes 5s spent with each app to realise how different they are. I didn't convey the problem I intend to solve well, so this needs to be redone.
I don't need the source code for Facebook.com to know what information my open-source browser sends to it. Same concept with Signal, you can read the client source code to know what the protocol sends to the server.
One thing to note is that this article quotes one doctor and one nurse at a single hospital. They have obviously seen more suicide attempts than usual, but we must remember this is a single data point and could just be a statistical anomaly.

It would be interesting to know if this phenomenon is repeated elsewhere in California or the US, but without knowing that, we can't draw too many conclusions from this article.

That, or access to said services - which usually depends on the job you have, and many Americans suddenly found themselves without one.

A blogger/psychiatrist shares some examples of how this plays out in general:

https://slatestarcodex.com/2020/04/24/employer-provided-heal...

Relevant in particular are all those examples following the pattern of "$something happened, had to switch insurance, now I can no longer see the doctor that helped me over the years, and the new one starts from scratch/does something that essentially cancels the effects of years of therapy". Now throw in the pandemic, and I can easily imagine this starting to be reflected in suicide rates.
Some of the things that helped me:

- Write thousands of lines of code and learn from your (inevitable) mistakes.

- Read books and articles written by people who are smarter than you are.

- Work with people who you can learn from.

What does "Open Source" mean in this context? Isn't the goal "just" to have an understandable interface?

Also: Can you recommend some reading material as an introduction to using a capacitive digitizer? I am planning to use one in an upcoming project (either one from a tablet glass replacement or a stand alone one) and really have no idea what to look out for yet in terms of communication with my Linux board (bonus: Something about DIYing one because I need a special format, but I guess that's especially hard because it's supposed to go on to a screen).
That is a totally stupid strategy that relies on a series of connections that don't make any sense and could just as easily be good decisions for America that result in the country doing better than normal. And it isn't Russia making partisan issues partisan - it is the action of the partisans themselves.

It would be cheaper and more effective to bribe key officials in government. There was a conspiracy about Jeff Epstein running his paedophile ring in aid of ... Mossad or the Illuminati or whoever. It would be a bit more expensive and a lot more effective to make that conspiracy theory a reality rather than rely on bots to 'sow division' - whatever that is supposed to do that the politicians can't manage on their own.
Did you get a refund or any solution from them regarding this issue?
I'm not clear on what exactly you're advocating. If it's just pointer acceleration, Linux operating systems have that already. Every input driver I've ever used on a Linux laptop (for over a decade) has supported it. It works very well - it would be difficult to use a touchpad on a typical laptop otherwise.

Is there something else you'd like to see?

We can't draw too many conclusions from the article, but a rise in the rate of suicide would not be a surprise. We know that economic uncertainty, isolation, or lack of access to support all increase deaths by suicide.

That's definitely not true.

You are right, it's not. But that wasn't the point. But pretending that California is the only one suffering and taking measures while the Netherlands or Japan are not is also out of touch with reality.

>The right choice was shutting things down . . . You know full well much of the rest of the executive didn't show remotely as much competence as the CDC about the disease itself for months despite being repeatedly warned even after the outbreak had already occurred

This is some "we have always been at war with Eastasia" doublethink. The CDC told people for a long, long time that masks were harmful and using them was stupid. The CDC shut down private and university covid19 testing in Washington.

> and now you're lashing out at the CDC for not having predicted when the first side effects would start to occur in some cities within 1 day of when you heard the news?

Ask your doctor if job loss and isolation from friends and family is a risk factor for suicide. I talked to a doctor back in early March who predicted that more people would die from suicides than from covid19.
I remember when you could have a link to file:///etc/passwd and you could click on it, and the browser would load it.

Can't speak for all European countries as Europe is very diverse, but in Spain it's perfectly possible (and lots of people do it every year) to get top marks in the "selectivity" (entrance) exam after going to free public elementary and high schools. My partner grew up in a dairy farm, her parents have no degrees, she went to a small school in her small town in the middle of nothing, and she got into a medicine degree, which is one of the degrees with highest grade threshold. And it's not a unique story, it's quite common. So I don't think there is that much systemic bias. Especially if you also factor in the fact that tuition is cheap, or even free if your income is not high, so student debt isn't a thing either.

My experience working remote for 10 years is the opposite of yours. I found that email is a really great communication tool for work. People tend to talk a lot and unfocused during face to face meeting, but when forced to use email only, they’ll spend more time to write down their thoughts to make sure the other people can understand their points without wasting their time. Email is asynchronous so you don’t need to drag people out of their routine just to discuss stuff that can be done over emails. Meeting is reserved only for absolutely important stuff that can’t be done over email, which is surprisingly rare.

Linux kernel development is an example of this, a global collaboration essentially done over emails. We got magnificent tools like git because of the need to streamline this kind of remote works.
No, the CDC will be working hard to understand the rise in rates of death by suicide.

Counting death is hard, and counting suicide death in the US is particularly hard because of the regional variations in use of medical examiners and coroners and the cultural drive in some areas to say that a death by suicide was accidental.

Here's a link to a CDC page: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

> Finally, the estimates of excess deaths reported here may not be due to COVID-19, either directly or indirectly. Upward trends in other causes of death (e.g., suicide, drug overdose, heart disease) may contribute to excess deaths in some jurisdictions. Future analyses of cause-specific excess mortality may provide additional information about these patterns.

Japan is not locked down. California is locked down.
I've always heard that it was the opposite; relying on conscription makes war less likely, since it's unpopular to force mothers to surrender their sons. The creation of a volunteer army is essential for prolonged war.

Looking at the history of the US, that seems about right.
