The language formerly known as Perl 6 is now called Raku so there are no more backwards compatibility issues.

Perl 7 is the new opportunity for backwards incompatibility (and probably doesn't even have an entry on Tiobe which would make your argument even stronger!)

Also, Tiobe is about as interesting as a gossip column. There are many reasons to pick one language over another, but ranking on Tiobe will never be one of them.

Me too, but if you put yourself in the photographer's shoes, I guess you wouldn't just walk around taking pictures of random stuff in your office (it's just the equipment you work on, after all, who would ever care about that?), but rather the people you interact with every day. Reading the article's text, the photographer was clearly fond of the people he worked with. I'm also glad it turned out to be this, instead of that. I've seen plenty of photos of old equipment; it's cool to see candid shots of people actually performing the work that was done on the equipment.

It specifically makes the false claim that ISO C requires it to not be rejected, right there in what you quoted. ISO C requires no such thing. ISO C requires compilers to diagnose it and allows them to choose whether to accept or to reject it. If compilers want to make it a hard error, they're perfectly free to do so. The fact that they don't is their choice, not something ISO C imposes on them.
Yeah, I don't know what it would take. We're currently using very few dependencies so... maybe? Shoot me an email using the links on the homepage if you like and we can continue the conversation.

I don't think there's any evidence that generational wealth transfer is the cause of income inequality; the major deviation in income inequality began in 1973 with the productivity gap it's only been maybe a generation and change since then and moreover, this was even before Reagan-era tax changes.

Reply to your last point first, you are right, I should quote easy-to-read material. I quote Nathan Rich because I first saw this law in his video. I extracted the link so that others can read it:

In fact, China has learned a lot from the United States. Before the Hong Kong National Security Law was released, some people joked that it would be better to copy the laws of the United States directly, so that many disputes can be avoided.

I think no one wants his rights to be restricted until his right to life is threatened. If a group of people say they will destroy everything until the government compromises, then the streets are destroyed, the unemployment rate rises, and relatives hate each other. Someone will accept that all this must be legally bound.
Some people's biggest concern is getting banned from a website, others' biggest concern is getting barred from entering the US (see: the current requirement to provide all your social media accounts when applying for a visa to the US).

The US does the same with their military.

No. It’s even more cringe when all this service stuff is then extended to police and firefighters.

As if there are two classes of people in the country, those sacrificing themselves and willingly accepting less money to “serve” their country, when it’s really just their only option because all the business left their town or they messed up in high school.

Thats the purpose of an IMU[0]. But even the best IMU have a limited amount of precision, and, has time goes by, these imprecision can accumulate to a very big margin of error in your location.

With the cheap IMU in phones, you very quickly reach the 100+ meter margin. That is why you usually combine it with other sources of localization to keep the margin down. If no other sources are available, the localization provided by the IMU become next to useless.

Uber's cost of revenue for 2019 was $7.2 billion [1]. That's not all driver payments, but it's fair to assume that a big chunk of it is.

If the executives received no salary they could pay the drivers an extra 0.2% or so. If the executives received no compensation whatsoever they could pay the drivers an extra 1-2%.

> The median person is a minimal contributor to government already.

The numbers in the linked article are for high-income earners who, yes, paid the majority of Federal Income Taxes.

My understanding is that the wealthiest people in the United States pay relatively little tax because their wealth accrues largely through investments not income. In addition to being taxed at a much lower rate than income, such investments also qualify for deductions which often reduce and/or eliminate any final tax obligation.
I agree, equity is likely even more valuable then the price given. It gives part ownership and voting rights in Uber. The employees could collectively use their voting rights to have a voice in the direction of the company.

Doesn't by definition doesn't an extraction oriented economy need a foreign customer to use the end input? If they used it themselves it wouldn't be extraction oriented.

And for it to be sustainable the end user needs to be able to get a gain from it (even if given some fantastic hypothetical world like being robots who depend upon crude oil to survive instead of food).

Essentially the combination of the two may be technically peripheral in that competive advantage results in a dutch diseased country and corruption leads to lack of investment in infastructure beyond what is needed. Thus colonial extractive economy is one cause but it may occur without any colonalism per se - just as a result of internal actions. Lets call this manifestation "pseudocolonial". The only involvement of the foreign in the pseudocolonial is a willingness to trade. One may assign guilt or morality in another nation for choosing to accept trade or boycott or embargo but either is just as much intervention.

To be pedantic I suspect the framework may be conflating aspects - this isn't apologetics towards actual horrific extractive colonies which short sightedly squander human potential and cause needless suffering.

"There is no great option in between full employment and a contractor."

This begs the question of why there should be an option between those two things.

> if you view it as society’s job

It makes sense with a system like a universal basic income.

Where we stand now, society is expecting everyone being supported by one or more (self)employed jobs, so underpaying people is unacceptable.

I'd argue a change like UBI should come first before lifting the need for companies to pay their employees better.

That's the whole point. The thought process "what would we need to combat a 1918 style pandemic if it happened today" does not in fact lead to stocking up on the things you're suggesting every country should have because they're supposedly required for any pandemic, since in reality those things weren't part of the plan for a 1918 style pandemic. If the political landscape was different it's entirely possible that (for example) mass PCR testing wouldn't be part of the plan for this pandemic. Most Western countries have the ability to use it for surveillance and estimation of disease spread during a pandemic, but trying to test everyone and use that to stop the spread is not a normal part of the plan for a disease like this.
Generally, there is somebody (typically in software assurance or systems engineering) who is supposed to ensure the fidelity of the simulator. Additionally, the hazard analysis or failure modes effects analysis should trace to specific test cases.

> it's misleading to call equity compensation "getting paid".

Please.

A person who has a portfolio worth tens/hundreds of millions of dollars does not have to liquidate it to leverage its value. They can secure cash loans on extremely preferential terms backed by their assets, for one.

Futher, who cares if it's "exactly the same as giving them money" or not? That doesn't change the inequality inherit in such compensation packages, just how they pay taxes.

Sure, that's true, but that's also a fine way to allow wealth inequality to continue unchecked. Jeff Bezos can't be worth over $100B unless his company is vastly underpaying and mistreating its workers.

> Combine all of the above, and you end up with a world where corporations go above-and-beyond to reduce their headcount

On a macro level I think that's a good thing. We create more value with less labour. And eventually yes we'd have to address that and figure out how to move to true post-scarcity society.

But it's not a 100% either or. You can recognise the need for a better social security net while also wanting to regulate corporations into giving labour their fair share of the output.
I agree with you. I do wish historical context was not so easily lost from the public consciousness, but I don't have a solution for it.

I can't find it now, but there was an audible audiobook that I used to have back in the dvd-audio days that showed just how much effort the Japanese government took to even be able to accept surrender when their militaries were extremely hawkish even to the end. It briefly touched on US discussions as well but was primarily focused on the Japanese government.

The Emperor of Japan himself had to do a certain amount of conspiring in order to be able to both surrender and not lose face. Even though he was in theory the supreme ruler, apparently if not done correctly there was risk of that military officers would go rogue.

It mostly acts as a subsidy to poorly run exchanges, and indeed the most efficient exchanges and the most liquid markets in some global products are now in Europe.

These consequences are very much intended. The government adds these road blocks precisely so they can maximize the number of government workers who can milk money out of you.

Western developed countries have an order of magnitude more permissions that need to be approved. The difference is that the more sensible ones will consolidate all the requirements from all the different agencies and require you to make a single (or maybe a couple) submissions.

You will likely be required to submit more stuff, but those will be in subsequent problems in response to specific issues that come up.
