One absurd name vs. another. "Indian" is the result of a mistake by an outsider, which probably isn't that unusual if one goes digging into the names for various ethnic groups. "Native American" feels artificial, but more importantly isn't accurate either. The native Americans would be the descendants of the American colonists, the founding people of a nation; not those who were conquered by these people. The people we call Native Americans might better be described as aboriginal, or as in Canada "first nations".

Why? Golang has a much less advanced type system, comparable runtime performance, a smaller developer community, and a smaller package ecosystem.

Plus, if you're building a backend for a webapp, TS allows your engineers to build full-stack features in the same language, avoiding context-switching, code duplication, and other overhead.
I get that this is yet another Domain Specific Language/Virtual Machin. Quite complex in order to optimize on the input size. As long as it doesn't become Turing complete, I'm quite happy to play along.

What I don't understand is what "relative cubeTo" does. The "documentation" doesn't help, it just points at source code, and explains nothing

I missed a decade of software development, so maybe it's just me. It seems that nobody actually documents things anymore, but rather expects you to read the source code and guess.
It’s bad news for farmers that are farming in the middle of a city, yes. But farms in rural areas will hardly get taxed at all, because the land couldn’t be used for much else, so has very little intrinsic value.

Land value taxes adjust based on how desirable a plot is: basically, you get to keep any value you generate above and beyond the value the society surrounding the land gave it. If you leave a plot of land empty in downtown, you’re preventing someone else from using that plot productively, and adding a net negative cost to the surrounding properties. So you should be taxed accordingly.

> Deflationary coins on the other hand are super insidious, they can get hoarded on a wider scale to the point of displacing productive investment in the economy. With deflationary coins it's not the volatility that's dangerous, it's the lack of it creating gridlocks in other investment markets.

I worry about this too. Essentially, new money creation can go toward financing three objectives - production (manufacturing & innovation), consumption, or asset speculation.

If you have a financial system that’s financing mainly production, and somewhat consumption, you achieve widespread and equitable growth without inflation. This is the ideal. It’s how the Japanese rebuilt their economy after WWII, based on the theories of Osamu Shimomura, focusing new money creation on production.

But if your financial system is financing mainly consumption, you get inflation without growth.

And if it’s financing mainly asset speculation, you get financial instability and crisis, wealth concentration, and inflation.

This is all from Richard Werner’s work and research [1][2].

Deflationary cryptocurrency, at least in its early days, is financing mostly asset speculation.

However, that may be an unavoidable part of bootstrapping a new kind of money technology. But as your blog mentions, at some time in the future it will reach a steady state, no more rapid appreciation, and then what.

One of the big public debates is about whether transaction fees alone will be enough to finance mining and thus security of the network, after both the mining subsidy ends and the price appreciation levels off.

Another less public debate is how “HODLers” may then need to reinvest more of their gains into building value-adding services for the network to continue economic growth, despite the individual incentive being to hoard.

I don’t think the story has been completely written on deflationary cryptocurrencies, and am still watching to see how they deal with this eventual problem. But the sound money religion surrounding some of them is preventing an honest assessment of these problems.

I'm strong in R, Python and Excel. I'd say anyone transitioning from Excel would be better off using R first. Because the R Integrated Development Environment (IDE) RStudio is fantastic compared to any Python IDEs that you can actually figure out how to install. The IDE makes it easy to visualise what you're actually doing to your dataframes by using multiple table tabs.
Something might start out as a glitch, but then be embraced by the playerbase and become a really interesting and beautiful mechanic.

Rocket jumping could be considered a glitch. It was never really designed, it was just an outcome of the physics system in quake. But it stuck, and later on it was added to TF2 (built on a distant descendant of the quake engine) as a central mechanic. Without it, you wouldn't have cool stuff like

I am afraid in that I cannot really help you there. I am a Vim user and usually only read written tutorials where I don't even know the gender of the author (which does not matter to me anyway).

However, I find the nature behind your request interesting and would like to better understand where exactly you are coming from.

> In the interest of my colleagues not getting the impression that its just a tool for a certain well-established crowd of male nerds

Where exactly would they get this impression from? Over the last decade I've seen so many different people nerding about Emacs (or Vim for that matter) that I'd never nail it down to be one coherent, well-established crowd. Especially with the rise of VSCode and its underlying complexity a lot of people join and leave that community every day.

> I was hoping to get help finding resources that portrayed it more inclusively

Which resources did you find that portrayed Emacs to be exclusive / non-inclusive in any way. Okay, you'll have a hard time if you are missing some fingers, but that's not what you are getting at.
I’m pretty sure the system we have here in the US is designed to be complicated to encourage us to rely on tax filing companies. Also, a more complicated system is easier to game. Makes it easier for the rich to take advantage of loopholes.
I wonder how it compares in terms of compression and features to Microsoft's font format extension that lets you use multiple layers with different colours, which is how Windows 10's emoji work. I remember a criticism of it was that flat design is the only possible design.

IconVG seems to at least support gradients, based on what https://github.com/google/iconvg/blob/main/spec/iconvg-spec.... says.

Incidentally, Microsoft have some other vector formats like WMF/EMF. I assume those are also more efficient than SVG?
Correct – it took about 6 months for people to become fully productive in Rust, which matches what I've heard elsewhere.

Though I will note that the Rust compilation times were also far more painful than I'd expected – even the tiny (~5k sloc) app at hand would take what felt like a minute to recompute the red squigglies in my editor.

TS felt slow if it took 5-15sec, and Sorbet (for Ruby) was usually <3sec IIRC, so a minute+ was pretty bad.

Rust was in the realm of "just don't use this language if you have ADHD" since you really can't make progress without the compiler's exacting approval, and I'd constantly get distracted while waiting.

Those bonuses are then taxed too, which should give you a hint why corporate tax is a bit daft to begin with.

Corporate tax is, by and large, a fiction to placate voters. It could (should?) be replaced with a more flexible system that isn't as susceptible to the usual deduction and profit shifting.
Another World is one of my fondest memories from my childhood videogaming. The animation was so smooth and realistic compared to other platform games of that era (at least on PC) that made it definetly stand aside.

Second-Order Logic
The DB space for Rust is a bit young, though there are several good projects like sqlx making it much more pleasant.

Rust shares many of the benefits of Go:

- statically linked binaries for ease of deployment

- good concurrency

- builtin testing framework

But it's a much sharper tool than Go:

- Really great error handling with Result/Option and the ? marker

- Like, really really good error handling, esp compared to Go

- Very pleasant logging and tracing

- Serde is fantastic at automatically serializing/deserializing datastructures

- Generics make Map/Reduce/Filter really easy and readable

- Really good project management through modules/Cargo.toml

- Crates.io is like NPM - really discoverable and easy to upload (with its goods and bads)

- FFI with Swift, C, C++, Node, etc to share code everywhere

- Builtin documentation

- Builtin benchmarking

- Powerful hygienic and non-hygienic macros

There's a lot more. I would say people choose Rust over other web frameworks not because of the language, but the emphasis on great tooling. Being able to test, document, benchmark, deploy, package, with a language that feels like a child between Go, JavaScript, and C++ is very attractive. Plus, it's fast - like really fast - and it's really obvious where optimizations can be made when the time comes.

I've worked a decent amount with Go, but I'm also frustrated with the size of projects balloon. When I compare my Rust and Go code, the Rust code ends up being much smaller (LoC) and much more dense/terse.

I've been working with it for a few years now, and I'm 100% willing to trade some complexity when doing Advanced Stuff (tm) for the 1st-class tooling. I hate having to decide which testing/documentation/building/benchmark/etc framework to use in other languages. I just want to build, not futz around with Jest/Babel/Webpack/Poetry/PyEnv/Opam/CMAKE etc.

If you're looking into using Rust for web, I recommend https://github.com/http-rs/tide - it's the most pleasant web framework I've ever used.
Can't argue with that.

It's easier to randomly place grey boxes around a page than to address the real problems. Plus you get to lecture people with terms like "perceived performance".

Marin Mersenne (1588-1648), of Mersenne Prime fame, was a French monk, a member of the The Order of the Minims "having been set up by St Francis of Paula in 1436, was thriving at this time. They believed they were the least (minimi) of all the religions on earth, and devoted themselves to prayer, study, and scholarship. They wore a habit made of coarse black wool with broad sleeves and girded by a thin black cord (as seen in the portraits of Mersenne). "

Magnus Joseph Weininger (1919-2017) was a mathematician, ordained priest, and Benedictine monk who discovered constriuctions for the remaining set of uniform polyhedra, and authored over 25 books on mathematical topics related to convex geometry.

Edwin Abbot (1938-1926) was an ordained priest, schoolmaster, and author who wrote many books including the pop-math books such as "Flatland" as well as "Shakespearean Grammar", "How to write clearly", and exegetical texts on the works of Paul and John in the New Testament, and Koine Greek grammars.

John Polkinghome (1930-2021) as an anglican priest, mathematical physicist, and theologian who worked on high energy physics. A student of Murray Gell-Mann at Caltech, he authored many research papers on Scattering matrices, renormalization, pertubation theory, spinors, and other topics in quantum mechanics, with fellowships at SLAC, Cern, Berkeley and Princeton. He was elected to the Royal Society and received a knighthood.

It's a bit early for Rust to be widely applicable to web development, because common web backend frameworks require nightly Rust which is not appropriate for production. But most of these nightly dependencies are being resolved.
As opposed to the people who spend their time just meandering on Reddit/HN in various non-technical posts...?

I think it’s a bad argument to say that those who aren’t activists are also those are who better at their jobs because those who don’t do activism must be spending their time honing their craft. Just because you’re doing one not doing one activity doesn’t mean you’re doing one other. The set of activities that exist is not (activism, honing craft) - it is a much bigger set of possibilities.

That assumption in your first sentence is just wrong. What stops you from leaving and being your own island in such a story? Nothing, if you truly want it. In a post scarcity society you just go and isolate yourself or find like minded people. Just do not expect the "global government" to provide for you or to stand quiet when you damage "the Commons".

Whenever I have had this conversation, people say "they would not let me leave" when they mean "they will not let me leave and start damaging our common resources". I think there is a gigantic difference between these two and the first is just wrong (I agree it would be terrible if it was true) while the second is a policy I would support. Am I missing something?

TLDR: Being able to leave is of fundamental importance to freedom and it is in no way forbidden by the imaginary global government that prompted this discussion. But when you leave you should stop expecting to have the benefits of that society.
This is so Google can subtly steer the development in ways that make YouTube downloaders hard to build, right?
This is the case with any form of government financing - taxes, deficits, and inflation all introduce market distortions where they reduce productive activity. This is inherent to economics, because a basic principle is that there is no free lunch: if you are going to spend resources on spending, those resources have to come from somewhere else, and the private sector by definition is the "not public sector".

But if you don't accept these deadweight losses, which means that there is no way of funding a government, which means that the essential services a government provides - notably a monopoly on violence and a peaceful way of adjudicating disputes - no longer exist. This is more damaging to businesses - when business every business needs to hire a protection racket to avoid being ripped off and killed, productive activity tends to come to a halt.
Indeed, there are areas (such as some federal land, dog parks, etc.) that specifically do not require dogs to be leashed, by design and intent. People who want to avoid dogs should avoid those places, and people who want to walk dogs off-leash should favor them.

https://github.com/google/iconvg/blob/main/spec/iconvg-spec.... also doesn't explain what relative cubeTo does, though from the context (2D vector graphics), “relative” must mean the co-ordinates are relative to the position of the cursor (as opposed to “absolute” which is relative to some fixed origin), and “cube” probably refers to cubic interpolation.
It's not particularly interesting where people were born, or where they died, but it is interesting where they were educated. To me, at least.

One of the principles of medicine is that the cure should not be worse than the disease.

At some level of activism, the remaining non-overt racists will be less harmful than the obsession to root them out.

Companies already pay a ton of money for sensitivity and diversity trainings that either do not work or even worsen the atmosphere of the workplace. This money could have been used for a better purpose than lining already fat pockets of Robin diAngelo and her peers.
Explainer for the explainer:

* the minimum corporate tax rate is 15%

* countries don't have to increase their corporate tax rate to 15%

* home countries can "top-up" until the effective tax rate is 15%

* Tax havens can still exist, but the incentive for multinational firms to move their profits to tax havens goes away because their home countries just top-up until effective tax rate is 15%.

Inversion prohibitions are suggested. Inversions happen when companies move to tax havens while keeping their management and substantial operations in their previous home country.

AFAIK all DeFi lending based around Tether is predicated on the idea that a Tether is worth $1 USD. I'm not sure the smart contracts / etc involved are particularly resilient if that changes. The attempts at making these DeFi systems robust is almost entirely focused on what the system needs to do when the value of the non-stable crypto fluctuates wildly, not the stablecoin.
Haven't really thought about pricing yet, as of now there is no charge.
I anticipated that some people might have this reaction. Its understandable, but I think that the concern is misplaced, and honestly, I think a discussion about it detracts from the object of what I was asking for.

Briefly, there was nothing exclusive or non-inclusive about enthusiasts posting their video tutorials and happening to be men. This is not aimed at them, or a criticism of them. Its just that when choosing from a menu of options, people will often choose the option that they can see themselves using. Because gender is such a strong part of people's identities, when you see users that share in that identity, it is easier to see yourself choosing that option. I think this is fairly well established, and not controversial.
That's no longer the case. There are many web frameworks working on stable, and Rocket, which was one of the most popular nightly-only backends, has been building on stable for nearly a year now!

> Note that land taxes are only assessed on the value of the land, not the value of any buildings on the land. This incentivizes land owners to put the land to its highest and best use.

Doesn't it incentivize them to put land to the use that generates the most revenue? I don't see how that is necessarily the "best" use.

There will almost always be a way that a yard or garden could make more revenue, for example, such as by letting a bunch of advertisers put up billboards on it or letting someone use it for storage.

Is it really best to make it so that only the wealthy can afford to use land in a way that they enjoy rather than as an asset to be exploited for maximal revenue?
Corporate taxes are not expenses. An expense is the cost of operations that a company incurs to generate revenue, either on cost or accrual basis. Corporate taxes are based on declared profits, gross revenue net of these expenses.

Furthermore, these taxes are not paid by all of us. They are paid by the owners of the corporation who and which receive considerable benefit from the government services they are paying for.

Consider corporate taxes, if you will, as use taxes for using the economy.
Surely a global government constitutes a monopoly that cannot be busted.

The aspiration above seems to be assuming as a premise, without argument or evidence, that a global government is not just a necessary condition for a post-scarcity Utopia, but a guaranteed means of reaching such a goal.

Given the magnitude of such a step, and in the light of the appalling outcomes of past attempts to create world empires, along with the level of coercion and misdirection required, notably in dealing with the inevitable dissidents, I would imagine such a premise ought to be subject to very careful scrutiny before it can be simply assumed. One cannot simply reverse the burden of proof!
