Subsidized housing is ok because it lets the government suffer from its own incompentence. However, it's an ineffective/self sabotaging way of providing housing.

Rent control is literally about politicians absolving themselves of accountability. They "make" housing "cheap" again without direct consequences to the budget. The angry mob is gone, the money problem is gone and the social problems are now allowed to pile up over time until you have a dysfunctional community. It's like sticking your head into the sand.

Oh and please don't comment on how you can stick your head into the sand while simultaneously solving the actual problem as if sticking your head into the sand is a valid strategy.
Re: unlimited websites

Is there a way to invite clients and give them access to only their site's?

Effectively, I'd pay for it for myself and would add (mostly) pro-bono NPO client sites.
One neat thing about Plausible is that you can point a CNAME of your domain to their servers and serve the analytics request that way. To the browser, it looks the same as if you hosted it yourself.
The "why" is memory safety without GC, which as far as I know no other non-toy language provides.

It's also why I feel that the comparison with Zig is a bit unfair: Zig is not memory safe. If Rust was willing to compromise with this constraint it would remove could remove some of the intellectual overhead for the developer and result in simpler looking, if unsafe, code.

But then it would also destroy the one killer feature of the language.
It's a Chicken-or-the-Egg problem. You need talent and resources to develop your Prototype but those talents and resources improve dramatically if there is a Prototype to play with. Catch 22. The Makers Dilemma. A microscale version of what Peter Thiel calls "Zero to One" - as in getting from nothing now to something new. The post is based on a great tweet thread full of inspiring stories of grit and determination; but as far as starting up anything in any person's garage anywhere, you may just as well be saying that water is wet.
I think most people consider many body parts to be swappable because we've observed that they in fact are. The degree to which they are certainly varies, but every successful transplant is testament to the fact we can exchange body parts with one another.
For what it’s worth, that quote is from Dislekcia. He is a white developer from South Africa, where class/wealth is still extremely correlated with race, due to obvious historical reasons.
You are right about the first, but then if these things could be captured and reconstructed at scale (not like now), there is no such thing as "conscious decision" anymore, at least for some. Because if someone is able to capture this molecular turn-over, which is a static snapshot of our interaction with the reality basically - then it's possible to manufacture and control it? Not like we are not controlled now, but this is like a kernel level of control, out of which we can't exist. Sounds problematic?

The irony of course being "working for free on personal project after work" is not an opportunity.

No doubt I am the exact class of "white dude" the article is talking about. My "funding" story is super boring. I worked on my game after a full day of work and after getting kids to bed.

On the other hand, I’ve been in several ubers in nyc where the driver clearly had no idea how to get anywhere. When confronted with some closed streets for a planned parade, he got stuck in traffic and had no idea how to get out. I hopped out of the Uber, hailed a yellow cab, and sailed to my destination. Cheaper too.

Ended up using only yellow cabs since this was not an isolated incident. Taxis ended up saving us $3-5 on each ride over Uber and the drivers were not hopelessly dependent on google maps.
Why Quantum Computing Will Not Break Cryptocurrencies (2020)
I remember reading some sci-fi story where gentleman had scrotum transplant and I had questions about that.

As it appears, now I know, that transplanted scrotum will produce semen with dna of previous owner - not recipient. Also, there are cases, where transplanted bone marrows are rewriting dna of receiver. So, brain is swappable in the end as well... sure.

Btw, your understanding of transplants is way too trivial - recipient body not always accept donor organs and people die because of it.
Prosthetics are not transplants and they too can be rejected by body - and people who have them still "enjoy" side effects of not having proper arm or leg... the videos of happy sprinters with "better legs" do not convince me after I had been living with such people together, where higher body temperature is just one of those side effects of lost limb, not to mention dramatic impact on mind, where those battles about loss of limbs has to be battled every day.
1. non-ergodicity not ergocitity. "everyone would make the same decision?" No, in fact it explains why rational actors make different decisions when faced with the same rewards and risk.

2. You clearly don't understand it. Ole Peters is claiming that the ergodicity assumption is wrong and purposing a non-ergodicity version of economics to fix it.

3. "expected utility theory implicitly assumes that individuals can interact with copies of themselves, effectively in parallel universes" is completely correct. EUT implies that is true as one of it's implicit assumptions.

4. Which raises the question of why has no one but Ole Peters has come up with a new theory to fix the violations? It's poor show by the field of economics. Our theories don't work, let's just sit on our broken theories.

Given Ole Peters work is mathematically correct and shows EUT to be mathematically incorrect. It's pretty pointless calling him a "crackpot". There is an objective right answer here and Ole Peters has that right answer.
I'll add that a skill in life is sensing from the get go what activity will bring more excitement than burden and say no or yes accordingly. You end up filling your days with joyful stuff or waiting to think what next good thing you'll do.

> talent and resources to develop your Prototype

Developing the required talent and resources is best done working a day job. Go work as a cog in a game making team, they'll cover your weaknesses and build your strengths. Attempting to make a game while also "making your skills" will result all early work being vastly interior to later work.

If getting employment on a team is impossible that points to a bigger issue: you need at least 1 skill to get hired but you need 12+ skills to finish a game. Short of devs in locations without studios, most developers should start their career making portfolio pieces to get a job.

Too often people think of Indie dev as an intro into the industry: but that is like starting a restaurant to "break into" the food service industry.
> I would stare at the screen not being able to type even one more character for those reports

Can confirm. My first job was as a Junior DevOps Engineer, turned out that all of my tasks were related to creating reports and maintaining the clusterfuck of a system which was creating these reports.

Didn't want to quit, because "it could get better", "hang in there" etc.

I was then asked to plan a project to create a new reporting system for the whole corp. My brain hates Excel sheets, but that's what I had to fill out for this project.
I knew that it was too late when I experienced the same thing you described: Freezing instead of fighting. Ended up in a minor burn-out and got fired.

Now I work as a Linux System Engineer in a company and team which actually values my skills and gives me interesting tasks.

> Whenever you have a discontinuation of your conscious experience (for example, when you go to sleep and wake up), you can view that as one person disappearing, and a copy waking up in the morning. In fact, unless you believe in a transcendent soul as the seat of consciousness, it must be equivalent.

Only if our conscious experience truly stops during sleep (which as far as I know isn't actually backed up - there's a world of difference between minimally consciousness and stopped consciousness. From my understanding we simply don't know enough about consciousness) and if you believe whatever makes up experience isn't baked into the physical i.e. panpsychism, unless you want to classify that as a 'soul' (but then I'd reject your characterization of a soul as some magical thing that influences personality).
Scalping is also selling tickets at market price - after first making sure the market price is a big multiple of what it was before scalpers got to work.
I have nothing against Communist parties (though I disagree with any philosophy that requires authoritarianism to enforce it, I still believe that Communists become Communists mostly with good intentions) and I agree they could evolve but the CCP has a culture problem. They are currently incapable of changing this from within through negotiation and are instead doubling down on it (see Xi's President for life vote for example). Any change in the CCP will come from within but if it happens in the next decade I can't see it being an evolution.

Cryptography in the era of quantum computers (2020)
Using an opt-in approach will help curb the excesses of Big Tech
As abstract focus for large projects not easily summarized, I would say Nim tries to be "richly expressive" out of the box with tools to make it even moreso while Zig is more "intentionally spartan" with tools to make it expressive.

Maybe more helpfully, Zig is much closer to your "C with better syntax" than Nim. Nim is more like Ada & Lisp had a baby with better/more Python-ish syntax ("better" being subjective, as with most things).

Seven Years of Spaced Repetition Software in the Classroom
Yes but you are comparing 1950s technology to 2020 technology. Sounds like the mechanical design was a bit ahead of the capabilities of materials science and readily accessible metal fabrication technology at the time. I expect if you could add the amount of refinements and digital augmentation that modern diesels have, you could get the maintenance down to similar levels, but like the Wankel rotary engine no-one is willing to bear the cost of redoing the last 70 years of engineering optimisations that have been done to the standard Diesel engine configuration.

Thanks. I'm not familiar with Zig. I responded to the "arbitrary compile-time execution" by adding Lisp to the proposed list of D, Nim, and Haxe. Also the latter might raise some concerns when looking at details as you did with Lisp.
It doesn't just raise questions about the self, but also lots of legal questions. Imagine you would transplant a brain in a different body. Who is that person now legally? Technically, only a single organ got transplanted, and everything else is still the body donor. But of course the person has the memories and presumably the sense of self of the brain donor. But the finger prints, iris scan and DNA of the body donor.

Of course we don't even know whether this sense of self is really purely attached to the brain. That brain is still connected to the rest of your body, and who knows what the body chemistry of the body donor will do to the new brain? Maybe we'll end up with a completely new person. Maybe not all memories will survive the transplant, but even if they do, you'll have a person who has the memories of the brain donor, but will be recognised by everybody as the body donor.

Mind you, if you transplant the entire head and not just the brain, this issue will lean a lot more strongly towards the head donor.
You're being far too abstract, so it's easy to think you're making this up. Who did Twitter ban for disagreeing with the leftist tribe about, say, higher taxes, unions, civil equality -- all these cornerstones of the left?

His methods are a replacement to the EUT framework. When you attempt to do Prospect theory with Ergonomic Economics you get back the null result:

"People behave as rational actors"

Rather than the EUT's result of:

"Faced with a risky choice leading to gains, individuals are risk-averse (concave value function).

Faced with a risky choice leading to losses, individuals are risk-seeking(convex value function)."

Basically ergonomics economics shows that Prospect theory is a math's error. This is one of the reasons why Ole Peters work is important.
European websites and services usually don't cause any issues for me.

The default is to use software for the key reason that running ffmpeg on headless servers will often have no GPU to access, when hardware acceleration is present it is specific to certain vendors only, plus the software implementation that would be done by hardware is higher precision, higher quality. So the sensible default is no acceleration.

Tea gave us the notion of "null hypothesis" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_tasting_tea
Very much so. In my experience with nightly jobs in a corporate setting, the more often something happens, the more likely you are to catch an upstream dependency that breaks it.

The sooner you catch that breakage, the easier it is to get the resources (either from that team, or from your own team) to fix it. It’s a matter of “Oh we changed that API 2 months ago, everything is fine for us, all of our people have moved on to other tasks” versus “Oh our change broke you? We can revert it until we have a workaround”.

2 months, in most orgs, is enough time to figure something out before your entire business goes offline.

What they're saying though is that if no one was using Ethereum (for NFTs or other purposes), there would be zero reason to mine them in the first place. It seems to follow to me that as demand goes up, the supply will increase in turn, since it's seen as a more attractive thing to mine.

There is a case to be made that war is just legalised murder, but nevertheless in these comparisons the context does not normally include war.

And would you really want to? The US is far from innocent with its use of nuclear weapons, fire-bombing Japan (Truman: "there were more people killed by fire-bombs in Tokyo than dropping the atomic bombs"), Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and so on.

Note that I'm not saying you're wrong about Nazi Germany, just that, the whilst the death tolls may be either swift or cumulative, it remains the case that all countries are guilty on the war front.

So to repeat: the context is criminality not war, where the distinction is the normally accepted delineation of the two.
