>Food and shelter are essentially "required" for everyone. Should those be provided by the state, to avoid it being "an income-generating scheme for private parties"?

The answer is: yes, absolutely, and we essentially do that to some extent with food stamps and homeless shelters; but, of course, not nearly to the extend that we can and should.

Shelter isn't just "required" in scare quotes, though; it's illegal to be homeless (you can get charged with loitering, trespassing, etc. if you try living pretty much anywhere where you're not paying for it some way).

We all know that the rental market is a scam, since mortgage payments (i.e. what you pay to own the property, plus profit for the bank) is lower than the rent in most markets (sometimes even after adding property taxes on top).

We also know how zoning restrictions on construction of residential properties and high-rises artificially restricts the supply of housing precisely where it's needed: i.e. where the jobs are (Example #1: San Francisco Bay Area).

So yes, the housing market here is an incoming-generating scheme for landlords. To the extent that people joke that Silicon Valley is a machine to transfer money from venture capitalists to landlords through engineers' pockets.

Note that I am not saying that the state should be the only supplier of shelter, food, healthcare, transportation, and education. Just that it should be one of the players on the free market, with a cost of 0 (or barely above nominal).

That's how Europe does healthcare and education, and at the very least it shows that we can afford this on a grand scale.

I have an open notebook on my desk which I use through the day to jot down stuff to investigate, reminders about meetings and appointments etc. It's always open on the current day.

If I have this fresh idea in the middle of the night, my main anxiety seems to be that i'll forget it tomorrow, so I find just adding it to the list for tomorrow is enough to ease that concern, and allow me to get back to sleep.

Failing that, get up and get on with it, feel shit for the afternoon, but just keep going through to your normal bedtime, and obviously avoid power tools in the afternoon :)

The `times` solution was overhtought, and later I get rid of it. In the end, the code of cycle like this are handled with `range`, for example:

var points = range(resolution).map(
i => ({x, y: y - (i * height) / resolution})
)

The point of the rewriting `for()` cycles is not some abstract "making them new and shiny", but expose _meaning_ (in a way that would be obvious for _my reading habits_). Generally speaking, `for()` is "how we do" instead of "what we are doing". It might mean a lot of things; porting it into `map`, or `filter`, or `zip`, etc. allows to review and rethink what was the point of iteration.

As you might see in the final code[1] the initial "cycle of noise generation" you are pointint to was gone at all (because several iterations of "making it one phrase" made it obvious that it has no context of its own, and should just be embedded in a points generation).

With that being said, I explicitly stated many times throughout the diary I don't expect the approach to be for everyones liking.

IDE drives had two jumpers to set master vs slave, SCSI drives had four jumpers or dip switches to configure the bus id... And having to terminate the bus was kind of annoying. I'm sure things got more convenient (but didn't late era PATA also have auto configure for master/slave?).
Thanks for the answer - that all makes sense... "but" :) there is also some sense in NOT having to support different storages / plugins API and instead supporting more features that work out of the box. At least I hope so.

I will try Grafana Tempo & Loki - thanks for reminding. It is just that all their products look the same like the "original" Grafana for metrics which TBH does not look especially ergonomic too... Somehow Jaeger still comes first when people talk about tracing.

Money doesn't have an intrinsic value. Money is just an accounting system, it is a balance sheet. People used physical gold as tokens or entries in that balance sheet.

Ultimately you are depending on another human who is actually doing work. This is why the credit theory of money is so appealing.

Money has value indirectly because someone obligated himself to give you value equal to the money created. When you add up debts and credits then you end up with nothing because money is just an agreement and not a commodity.
Agreed. Renter's insurance is a great consumer purchase in my experience, since it also doubles as insurance for your property outside the home. Not having to worry about your stuff getting stolen (for example, your laptop in a cafe) is great peace of mind.

Rental insurance paid me $3k when I had my backpack stolen in Belgium. This easily paid for 3 decades of insurance and, realistically, I think most people are likely to be the victims of theft at some point over a three decade period.

My theory is that the way they make this work economically is that many people aren't willing to go through the hassle of record-keeping and filing a police report to get payouts. (In practice, this took less than 1 hour of my time total.)
Envfs looks interesting, but I don't think compromising on Nix(OS)'s core to be more familiar is a sustainable approach, and the unreliability of the produced frankenbuilds seem more like something that'd scare newcomers away once things start breaking.

I'd rather look into how to make the Nix-native workflow be as appealing and welcoming as the impure one, than compromise and end up with a system ultimately just that has the downsides of both.

"It's simply a fact that people become incredibly irrational when it comes to compensation, and the minute you lay it out in the open, you open up a huge surface area for conflict."

I have had the opposite experience. It can result in conflict if salaries are by default kept secretive, and then someone finds out they're being paid much less than someone else. People start feeling undervalued or unappreciated. If salary ranges and structure are out in the open for everyone during the application process, there's nothing to get into a conflict over. Applicants know how the salary structure works and what they'll be making, so it avoid conflicts _early_ because those who might not be happy with the salary information can simply not apply for the job.

It's going to need a lot more "Recipes" for packages in "Compile" (1) for GoboLinux to get mainstream. As it stands now, a lot of users are going to have to manually build/install many of their required programs to make them work.

One minor thing I've done is to wake up to natural light (ie light or no shades or curtains). Prior, I had black out shades, and I'd sleep in but wake up groggy, then have trouble sleeping the next night. It made a pretty large difference for me (I wake up and sleep pretty early and feel a lot better). Obviously, if you need to stay up late this won't work for you.

There were other things I did that helped a ton (exercise, no caffeine, etc), but those are obvious and get mentioned a lot. I rarely see the natural light piece mentioned.

I think if people had to pay per email, email wouldn't have become as big as it is. Especially since in your scenario compromised credentials could incur financial losses. Turning it into a paid utility would cripple it.

For many people, email is synonymous with free digital communication. Ideally such an essential service should not discriminate against homeless people or people with disabilities.

Ian Fleming's wartime spy ideas were notoriously wacky and unworkable. Meanwhile, UK's covert ops groups were, as a rule, fantastically incompetent.

> Instead of learning about themselves and developing a strong, cohe-sive self in early childhood, emotionally immature people learned that certain feelings were bad and forbidden. They unconsciously developed defenses against experiencing many of their deeper feelings. As a result, energies that could have gone toward developing a full self were instead devoted to suppressing their natural instincts, resulting in a limited capac-ity for emotional intimacy.

The book is wrong in the same way once again. Because I remember by the time I was 16 years old I was entirely conscious of the idea that feelings were bad and had a conscious belief in the pro-active suppression of negative emotion, including through the use of drugs. I remember getting into an internet argument about the topic at that age. The only part I wasn't aware of was how completely fucked up dysfunctional it was.
That's where right to disconnect and anti-spam measures come in. I'm in France, and i have the right to refuse my employer contacting me outside of work hours, and they pay me if i don't. And since robocall spam is illegal, i get ~1 call every 4-5 months at most, to sell me a different internet or electricity or mobile plan, and they're obligated to respect my refusal to be contacted thereafter ( and all do).

The article is from 2016? It looks like it's from 2013 to me, though admittedly updated in 2015.

I found some surprisingly open-minded English-language coverage, also from 2013:

https://e-catworld.com/2013/09/28/brazilian-company-building...

https://will.illinois.edu/news/story/new-gravity-driven-gene...

> One blogger with a Brazilian radio station dismisses the project as an impossible perpetual motion machine. Even if it’s not quite that, University of Illinois Electrical Engineering Professor Peter Sauer said he’s never seen a gravity-driven device work without some additional energy input.

Didn't see any coverage after 2013. I wonder what the idea was. You can't announce a perpetual motion machine without being aware that there's no such thing.
Also they don't add an empty rule for the source file (like they can do for headers), so if you rename from e.g. foo.c to foo.cpp, which still produces a foo.o, your incremental build fails because the dep file still has the dep on foo.c which doesn't exist anymore.
People already have accounts in national databases and there's a notification system using e-mail, sms and phone. Why not just manage the e-mail for them (and if they want - they can forward it to their private e-mail of choice).

Kids those days. When they buy a new phone they only look at the number of megapixels /s.
People who bought computers back then (except those who just wanted an expensive toy) knew what dual channel IDE is, what does it mean if a drive is master ( sorry) or slave (sorry) and what the interrupts are.
The post office ( La Poste) offer free emails, so there already is a non-foreign not-exactly-for-profit free email service out there. Plus all the ISPs also offer emails ( by default, you get an email with your plan, and on some ISPs you can't refuse it), but honestly that's just a terrible idea.
Thats a good point! It is difficult to explain what is missing when the less social half of the office is missing, especially as it seems like even the absence of people you dont speak to, is felt.

It is hardly fair to expect people, especially who dont want it themselves people or aren't even friends with to not work from home for such reasons. Though it may well be that many introverts need on this more than extroverts, despite often wanting remote. My point is that leadership is primarily ensuring a social environment where people work well, and the ones who figure this out will benefit greatly.

I was heartened (and a little surprised) that Jack Dorsey recently mentioned that the draconian control of the Twitter API was the worst thing Twitter had done [1].

The corporatisation of the Internet, has undone a lot of the great work that had traditionally underpinned the network.

It feels like the slow, laborious and fundamentally equitable nature of standards ratification in the open has been seen to be at odds with the OKRs of tech businesses.

Businesses that sell and work with natural resources are starting to wake up to the idea that a degree of cooperation and inter-market regulation with peer companies can positively impact individual performance. Sustaining business is even more fundamental than making profit.

In the same sense; open protocols can help to develop rich and sustainable markets that benefit the consumer; as well as those businesses that operate in within it.
