Every country does things to minimise this number (that doesn’t make it right, just a fact that I wish weren’t true). I’m pretty convinced the UK’s push to make all 18+ education a 3+ year university qualification was to improve employment figures for that age category. Bit of a long con, eg: go to uni to study early years development with 3 contact hours a week and once that’s the only way to become a nursery school teacher charge £9k a year for uni fees for a job that pays maybe £20k a year. I know so many 25 year olds who’s student loan interest rate is higher than the amount that is deducted from their pay check by the student loans co earning in the mid 30k region
Keep in mind that a HTTP server is only useful for a subset of users, it might be an "obvious" requirement for you, but it definitely isn't for me ;) Features like this should go into libraries, but not the standard library. When looking for a Go or Python alternative, Zig doesn't immediately come to mind TBH.

Also: Go (or python) has no UI system or 3D API wrapper in the standard library, but those are (probably) useful for at least as many people as a HTTP server. Does that mean that Go should get UI and 3D-rendering support in the standard library?
I think this sort of thing is not wrong, but it's very important to bear in mind survivorship bias:

It's true that you probably need to push beyond normal limits to end up at the tails. It's also true that most people who do that end up worse off overall than if they had just done normal things. So it's a risk necessary to end up in an usually good circumstance, but it IS a risk and should be thought of as such.

>As stated in another comment, most of the income taxes / import taxes etc affect a tiny fraction of the population. Not really a huge voter base there. Influential and disproportionately powerful - but not enough to swing elections I think

How can this be true? Nearly everyone needs petrol or diesel or gas, and government has increased exise duty on petroleum import which affects almost everyone in the country!

And custom duties also affect others, today if you go to buy a tool - you'll either find Chinese import or some very expensive foreign make tool or crap Indian make tool in most of the case. People need those tools, they'll benefit from low import duties.

Yes but most people aren't aware how taxes affect them even if they aren't directly paying any custom duty or income tax, custom duty is being charged to them indirectly (they pay for a product where the importer adjusts the price according to costs of which custom duty is a part)

> Nobody forces beginners to write macros. Beginners are only macros _users_. With time and experience, the need for macros emerges by itself, then learning them is a natural part of the process. But even then, nobody is forced to write any.

Macros in Rust aren't only confusing for beginners, because it has a completely different syntax (well, at least macro_rules! does; idk about proc macros) than the one you use for the rest of your program.

Even _if_ you draw the line between macro writers and users, you've effectively made macros a black box you're not supposed to look into. Having trouble debugging anything related to a custom derive or a macro? Too bad, macro's are hard. This is (a) not useful and (b) not necessary, as Zig clearly shows.

I think Rust made the C++ mistake of trying to accommodate everyone by having both low level control of things, but not too low level since that's dangerous, so we'll come up with some rules that you can't break, and oh by the way the rules aren't really ready yet, oh, and if you're not used to dereferencing pointers, don't worry we have this deref trait, what's a trait you say? and so on and so on.

It's effectively a barrier to entry, which, ironically, is a thing the Rust community tries really hard to combat.

I wish Google would stop pushing HTTP/3 . HTTP/2 really is good enough. Clouldflare did a recent test where HTTP/3 was, at most, 4% faster. And sometimes it was slower. And I've seen other benchmarks with the same results. The only big advantage UDP based HTTP/3 provides over HTTP/2 is error correction without head of line blocking. And most connections including cellular already do error correction below layer 7 so it's mostly pointless.

the commas in the first amendment make it confusing but

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

I think the reading 'Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech' makes more sense linguistically than 'Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or the right of the people to peacefully assemble', that is to say the freedom of speech is not limited to people by the first amendment.

Although I am in agreement that groups of people must inherently have less rights than the aggregate I believe the commas in the first amendment make it difficult to argue that it limits free speech in this manner.

I would have guessed this was in a very strong sense a linguistic issue. Does a composition "veggie burger" present an oxymoron, thus forcing the consuner to either interpret the composition as being one or the other? Or does the adjective merely make a more specific case? A compiled list of similar compositions would in my opinion help the counter argument.

The line of reasoning of the agricultural lobby about "confused consumers" feels to me like an insult to public's intelligence.

Their arguments about protecting farmers is valid and needs to be considered.

Japan was already so clearly beaten, its only in the fantasy-land where some army officers still held on to the 'we can continue to fight' but that would change if the Soviet Union joined the war.

However, many of those people then didn't actually follow threw with this, as even after Soviet Union joined some in the war council still didn't want to surrender.

What actually changed the situation in the war council was Hirohito coming out with a clear message, and he did not want to see Japan wiped out. Even then, some in the war council were still against surrender but they followed orders from the Emperor.

The people who believe nuclear weapons had nothing to do with the surrender always underestimate or ignore the opinion of the Emperor and simply put it as an 'excuse' rather then his actual opinion. His decision to come out with a clear opinion, against tradition, was not because the Soviets rolled up some Japanese armies in a far away land but rather what was happening to his subjects. That makes way more sense.

If you want to call it an 'excuse' then that fine also, but even so, a war its over then the other side admits its over. The war had been military decided for years, if it took nukes to give them an 'excuse' and allowed the emperor to make a statement then that is still the effect of that weapon.
One thing I've noticed in America compared to Europe is that the top salaries pay more which allows more stay at home wives. In Europe a manager/doctor/tech worker doesn't earn as much and its more likely that the wife is also in full time employment. Its anecdotal so I can't be sure, but its what I see in my neighborhood.
I don’t know how to interpret that. If you didn’t care you wouldn’t have responded.

Even 386 was absolutely crushing A1200 in some respects. In Amigas, you had to set every bit of a pixel separately, which didn't hurt for 2D games with static art assets (which you just copied from memory onto the screen), but it was a killer for anything 3D based. In result, you could have a 386 run Doom IIRC, whereas 3d shooters on Amiga 1200 were much worse than even Wolfenstein 3D.

For all practical purposes, all university students should always show up as "unemployed" in any statistics, because they are -- and they'll need to earn all of that cash back and then some extra, at some point in their lifetime.

>Excessive taxation on luxury goods is one of the few ways we can still milk the rich

You'll be able to milk rich if there are more mercedes on road, they'll need more repairmen or mechanics, you can be one and charge them for everything.

Right now in India, ultra rich proportionally pay less taxes because of various instruments available to them which aren't feasible to be used by middle class people.

We should shift our focus and let them spend their money, it will end up in one of the countrymen's pocket either way.

Why? Chapter 11 doesn't mean they stop making or selling planes. The biggest problem would be uncertainty, and that can be dealt with by announcing the intention of bailout immediately after the chapter 11 announcement.

I've often thought we need many more metrics to gauge the economy. Wage data, actually employment, a much better sense of who is doing well financially. The main numbers shared in the news just aren't that useful, and have allowed a lot of discontent to flourish under our noses, with disastrous political results.
I'm not familiar with Authorware specifically, but there's a whole lost world where computing was extremely rich in visuality, dynamism, and play, and the striking thing is that these qualities were expected to enhance peoples' useful output. Some of the early Smalltalk demos exhibit this beautifully, and they're from the 70s. It almost feels like the era of "rich media" embodied by Encarta, "animated storybooks", etc., was the dying gasp of that conceptualization.

The common association with computers as mechanisms of boredom, exclusion, and wage slavery is so strong now that it's hard to imagine anyone seriously countenancing the old paradigm that the technology was meant to allow. I don't know whether that outcome was ultimately inevitable or not, but either way, it's massively disappointing.

That seems like it will give you a really bad number because they are for sure unemployed but a lot of people in the age 16-20something will go to school.

I didn't earn a living wage until I was 22, but I also earn pretty well nowadays and pay a more taxes than most of my friends.

Thanks for the respect! I understand your points and I think you are correct in light of today's technology, but respectfully I think you're being a bit pessimistic about the future. (I'm an Electrical Engineer, qualified to work in power systems, but ended up working in data networks and RF.)

What I'm envisaging doesn't rule out voltage transformations. A "packet" could have its voltage or current transformed as required to suit the mode of transmission. Nothing to say it has to remain as DC either. The idea is that the energy (or some other property) would remain the same (apart from losses). The packets might also be conceptual in some transmission modes. For example, take a bunch of "packets" all with the same DC voltage, butt them up in time and you have a regular DC transmission line with a constant voltage and current, the main difference being that you now have an embedded/parallel data stream which logically delineates the packet boundaries. This data stream allows the receiving station to treat each packet differently if required.

The talk of non-specialists wiring systems doesn't mean your hairdresser will be running a 1MV transmission line across the suburb. Rather they could wire something like a house in a risk free manner with no need for a specialist electrician. The idea is that a source would be measuring what it is driving, so safety is inherent and serious power would only be delivered if the measurement says it is safe to do so.

Yes, this is pie-in-the-sky talk. It's not a design, but a collection of wild ideas which might turn out to be practical. It's the sort for thing one talks about with colleagues at the pub, but those colleagues do include academics with high level power engineering qualifications and in conversations they are also thinking along similar lines.

>The (income) tax base in India is about 5%; they have no voice in the politics of the country unless they are big corps.

Excise on petroleum import affects nearly everyone. I am not only talking about income tax.

Other than this, the soap or detergent or even everyday products we use, contain imported active ingredients and they are taxed at some duty which brings up its price, manufacturer simply adds their own profit margin on top of their costs and passed it onto customers.

Even if most in India have never made payment to customs department, they've still paid considerable sum as indirect duty charged included into product pricing.

If you can just show it to people how much cheaper things will get, they'll give you a chance. This is because Indian voter is very unsophisticated, he will buy your promise atleast once to see if you can really help them by reducing prices.

Makes me want to find an aggressive lawyer and take down some private equity firms.

When any organization starts to bleed a large complex human embedded asset, it is gentle at first as they wait for being caught with their destructive life altering behavior. As they continue unexposed they get more bold and sloppy. Today, in American society, it is a free for all raping of any exposed asset servicing any income pool less than the 2%'s protected assets.

No, the ruling allows the state to expropriate from one private entity to another IF there is a compelling public benefit. The benefit to other private entities (if any) is purely coincidental and not relevant to the legality.
I want that too - I mean to elaborate more on these aspects with real-use examples, but I guess I'm putting it off until I deal with other small issues.

Regarding "homoiconicity", the way I would succintly put it is that: the line between what is considered code and what is data is super-fine. Basically, anything can be anything - depending on the context. Thus, an Arturo script can manipulate its own code, the way it can manipulate any other type of data.

Regarding Arturo's implementation: It's written in Nim (though I have written it in the past in almost every language you can think of... lol started with C++, went to D, then to Nim, back to C, and now in Nim again). Basically it's a Stack-based Bytecode Virtual Machine. And yes, Forth's influence is also important - although (intentionally) not that obvious at first sight.

The source text is parsed to an abstract structure/tree of words and symbols. That's the part that happens in translator/parse.

Then if it's an executable block, it is evaluated (as valid Arturo code) into Bytecode (this happens in translator/eval), and then this bytecode is executed by the virtual machine (in vm/exec).
Show HN: Live chat with GPT-3-powered conversational hints

The essential problem, which Justice Kennedy seemed not to understand, is that money is not speech. The easy test to show this as nonsense is quantification, i.e., it’s clearly the case that some citizens have more money than others, but it’s nonsense to think that some citizens have more free speech than others.

One of Justice Kennedy’s clerks in 2009-2010 was Misha Tseytlin, a Federalist Society member who undoubtedly helped write Kennedy’s opinion on the Bilski case, which widened the potential for business process patents and considered by many software developers to be a terrible decision regarding the patentability of software. Despite no connection to Wisconsin whatsoever, Tseytlin was later appointed Wisconsin Solicitor General by Scott Walker and worked on many of the voter suppression initiatives in Wisconsin. He’s been party to litigation on behalf of the Wisconsin Tavern League seeking to overturn Governor Evers’s executive order on masks and public gatherings. I’m a part-time resident of the state and grew up there, and it’s distressing to me that a fringe ideologue with no connection to the state continues to do it harm.

Hi community,

Recently we’ve added GPT-3 integration to our live chat engine, and I’d love to hear your feedback on it. The access is free through the 14 days trial, and you can play around with various settings and check the responses that GPT-3 suggests. The link above provides some basic context like integration settings and how to use it, and you can find a sign-up button for the tool itself under the first paragraph of text.

To extend the trial after initial 2 weeks (or if you already have Activechat account with expired trial), you can use this 1-month 100% discount coupon: “gpt3test”. Don’t forget to cancel your subscription after 1 month to avoid being billed if you don’t plan to use the tool for production purposes.

I’d be happy to hear your thoughts about the integration, particularly your opinion about the value it has for live chat agents.

Thanks!

Oh yes, and Wolfenstein actually ran quite well even on a 286. Higher res and framerate than same time period Amiga titles. Aside from the additional inefficiency you mentioned, I think 3D is an area where none of the Amiga's specialised hardware chipsets helped (or at least, nowhere near enough / as much as they did with 2D), and the CPU performance disparity started to really show.
Great!
