I use it daily for many years, being a user of vim for 20 years or so.
I could not come back to vim now, I find the kakoune way more efficient.

I find two annoying things :

- U need to make a lot of tuning to make it usable because there is now tab management, no clipboard, etc..

- U need always the last version of C++ compiler to make it compile. This is annoying on professional VMs that are way behind the current version of gcc.

I would suggest the community to make better documentation for plugin development which can be very hard to learn
I think a significant difference between the Danish system and UBI is that working people do _not_ get Danish welfare. In the Netherlands we have a very similar system, except with a legal obligation to apply for jobs or do volunteer work in order to keep the welfare.

If I guessed correct, then the Danish is significantly different from UBI, because that system discourages working. Starting work means losing your welfare. Or at best every euro you earn from working is subtracted from your welfare. Besides that, in such systems you need a complicated bureaucracy to figure out who should and should not get welfare. This bureaucracy needs to contend with fraud, and is probably rewarded for giving as few people welfare as possible. This leads to a bureaucracy that is somewhat hostile to those it is meant to serve.

With Universal basic income, you lose the discouragement to work. You lose the very complicated and hostile bureaucracy (with exceptions for emigrants and immigrants probably). And you lose some of the political pressure to cut welfare, because everyone gets UBI so there is less jealousy.

In the Netherlands there have been cases of people on welfare needing to pay back thousands of euros because sometimes their mother did groceries for them. That was officially 'income' they failed to declare, and therefore their welfare was retroactively cut. That is just inhumane, and stupid. It means anyone on welfare who cannot make ends meet cannot ask anyone for financial help, because that would cost them their welfare.
In parliamentary republics, the president is the head of state (and has little actual power), while the prime minister is the head of government.
There is, right? In many cases around the world.

Here in the UK, there is a big research evaluation exercise called the REF. The REF is important because it largely determines how the government allocates funds. In order to be eligible to be evaluated, researchers have to essentially submit their pre-prints into open access.

What this has meant for the last 10+ years is that most universities participating in the REF have an e-prints server, like the arxiv. Obviously, being publically funded, universities are then using government money to pay for these costs.

Now your question might be whether it's sensible for the entire country (or research councils) to operate their own e-prints server. I don't know the answer to this.

All I know is that the more bureaucracy you involve, the more bullshit results.

That's true, but that's why I mentioned "specifically listed" in my comment - the same things apply to Australian English for eg., and possibly to Filipino English and South African English and many others. Indian English is the only _dialect_ mentioned in the list, the rest are languages, which made me curious.

The reason is probably something pragmatic, like perhaps a large enough corpus was available for that specifically.
Ireland: Putting the "un" in universal :-)
Yea, we had it set up under the house, came home from a beach holiday and the offspring said "where's the washing machine"

Gone. We just replaced it, but we put the replacement inside.
And that's not a new thing either.

In my 1970's house we have 150mm insulation under the house from the original build, 150mm in the walls and 200mm on the roof.

We added another part to the house a few years ago, and that was 300mm insulation in floor/walls/roof. Since the walls are made of brick with a depth of 7cm, it means the walls are 7+7+30= 44cm thick (plus some "slack")

Even my 1980's summerhouse has 100mm insulation in floor/walls/roof.
And similarly relevant, using a solver independent modelling language like [MiniZinc](https://www.minizinc.org/) means that it is possible to write a model, and then translate it formats suitable for use with MIP, CP, and SAT solvers.
To me universal basic income is just that, universal.

This feels like the government employing 2000 people and telling them to do nothing in particular.

Also it seems the payment is set to the Irish minimum wage of €10.50 p/h. I would love to know what an actual minimum wage worker thinks of this scheme.
Agreed. Peer-review is essential. I do like the idea of a public peer review however, similar to that in the https://joss.theoj.org/ - I had a really pleasant experience reviewing a paper for JOSS.

I think sometimes reviewers hide behind their anonymity to give snarky responses, and using their power over you, knowing you will try your very best to implement all of their suggestions in order to publish faster. I just think the whole process should be more transparent.
I might have missed it, but is there (or do we know of) a different model for which the velocities actually add? Essentially, how do we go from slopes to angles here?

> Our designs combine generous ventilation with high insulation (140mm-thick wall framing combined with R4 wall insulation in the North Island – far above the Building Code requirements)

NZ North Island is pretty extreme in its non-extremeness. It's near perfect for building homes that don't need excessive heating and cooling.
From a global perspective, 140mm insulated framing is nothing. In any colder climate (such as the nordics) or hotter climate (such as the south US or southern Europe) a comfortable well-insulated wooden frame home needs at least 300mm insulation. That's also the code in e.g. Sweden.

There was a debate regarding this topic just recently in Poland, where they wanted to introduce something of this kind.

This is wrong in so many ways. It will encourage people to basically pretend they're doing some kind of art even if they're not.

If someone is a real artist imo, they will manage. It will be part-time but eventually they will get better and can start making money out of it, and if not then well it can just be their hobby right?

I think it's not question of learning a fancy programming language or web framework.
It's about being able to solve problems for companies so it varies a lot with your interlocutor and time.

So without work experience it is difficult to gain any expertise. Yet there are a lot of open source projects that deal with real life problems.

If you have a provable experience with one of those project (simply running one with a large audience is enough, no need for contributing patches), it may count for a recruiter.

Depending on your interest it could be something technical (storage, workflow, API) or something transversal like payment, accounting, human ressources, learning.

Completely agree - the quality of peer-review is a lottery. Sometimes you get an excellent referee making good points, other times you get a referee solely focussed on making sure you cite their work. And, occasionally, you get a referee who doesn't even appear to read the paper and just waves it through.

> in several fields, 50-90% of peer-reviewed studies fail to replicate.

Is that a failure of peer-review though? Or is it more of a consequence that even if you do everything right you'll still get some false positives some of the time, and negative results tend not to get published at all?

> telling them to do nothing in particular

Nobody told them anything close to that. Any research towards basic income tells us that people continue working close to as much as before. So this seems like a really unnecessary combative comment.

Regarding minimum wage workers, one thing can be bad, while the other is also bad. So not really an argument.

> I think a key issue is that generally the person designing a house isn't the same person who will be paying the energy bills in 30 years time.

Those who build homes must typically be planning on staying at least a few years in them though, say 10? Insulation is pretty cheap compared to running an AC in a poorly insulated home. Also it's not just a cost issue, it's more about comfort. Sleeping in a cool space without an AC blasting is worth something too.

The person designing the building codes though is the person responsible for the energy use and supply of the country, it's CO2 emissions and so on. So slowly getting more efficient building codes seems like it should be universal.
> two thousand arts and culture workers for a span of three years … earmarked €25 million for the plan … top recommendation … €10.50 per hour

3 years × 2,000 hours per year (estimate of full time employment) × €10.50 per hour × 2,000 people = €126 million, five times as much as is earmarked (even ignoring administrative costs). Perhaps it’s 400 rather than 2,000, perhaps it’s not full-time, perhaps the mention of the top recommendation of €10.50 is a red herring and not what’s being implemented (one must admit that €2/hour doesn’t sound so impressive), perhaps something else?
Lovely explanation. Builds up from simple angles and suddenly makes what seemed weird in relativity actually kind of obvious.

Regarding 1) I have 2 key bindings, 1 that starts a sentence and another binding but doesn't. while punctuation remains an issue (comers brackets and question marks for example) - since I'm mostly using this to save typing longer passages of text having to manually deal with punctuation isn't all that much of a hassle. But I can understand anyone attempting to go completely hands free would need something to support entering literal characters and punctuation.
> telling them to do nothing in particular

As in not being given a task or directive for their income.

I'm not saying they're told to literally do nothing.
> It's always nice seeing countries look to support their artists in building their cultural heritage.

But, at the end of the day it's still worth close to nothing, right?

I enjoy art and music as much as anyone else but the reason those professions are so poorly paid is because the supply outstrips the demand considerably[1]. What value is there in asking taxpayers to pay for an increase the supply when there's already too much supply?

Sure, paying people for doing what they love even when you are going to, in effect, throw away whatever they produce is madness.

[1] I play guitar and sketch/paint. Of the other people (who do these things) that I have regular contact with, no one can make money of the things they produce. My rough guess is that for every 1000 musician/art supply, only 1 is demanded.

They are quite different in construction though. The insulation on this house corresponds to a garage in the nordics today, or how the building code looked in the 1970s and 1980s. Today the code requires twice this much insulation for a normal home (around 300mm), and it's still nowhere near a passive one.

I have an early 2000s (got it for free in 2004) Maytag top loader of the more-or-less classic design. It has had exactly one issue in all this time: A piece of debris got into the water pump, and I had to take that apart to get it out. Aside from that nothing, and in the past decade it has been a busy family washing machine. It'll probably die from the mechanical dial sequencer wearing out, if anything.

The reason the Maytags were so reliable is their mechanical simplicity. Motor runs one way, the machine agitates and washes. Run the other way, the machine drains. The gearbox is simple, so simple that "spin" and "drain" are the same thing. How do you spin a tub full of water? You have a special kind of belt, that acts as a slip clutch so the spin builds up gradually as the water drains away.

Because of the simple mechanics, the tub is deep; the machine has truly gigantic capacity. We fear the day it finally dies and we have to replace it with something else, the only choices being: Really crappy top loading agitator machines, the bizarre "agitator-less" top loaders, and front loaders.

I used to use a Whirlpool built Kenmore machine before that. It had unbelievably complicated mechanics and plumbing (ever hear of a "wig wag"?) But it did have a reverse flush lint filter. That complicated stuff also eventually went wrong. Because if its simple mechanicals, the Maytag does not do any kind of lint filtering. Given that we also line dry, that is an issue. The machine is plainly for a world in which everything goes through a clothes dryer, which strips the lint.
I'm not sure about the inclusion of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland as separate entities, but listing Governors etc. of dependent territories at the bottom of the UK (Falkland Islands, Montserrat, Turks and Caicos Islands, Virgin Islands, Pitcairn) which, although they are quite small places, are more independent than Scotland and Wales.

I wonder if it would be worth separating US states rather than putting all the US state governors inside the USA. They all have many other state-level positions, it would be good to list those in an organised way.

I'm only looking at the https://peppercat.org/ site - I haven't checked the underlying data structure in WikiData, but maybe a fully hierarchical structure is needed. That would also enable adding data about e.g. members of parliament / congress, and to city and council levels by drilling down.

This is nothing new, unexpected, or reasonable. Of course some governments are going to look for a scapegoat: because their interventions failed. Of course most people will happily accept said scapegoat because assuaging their anxieties is more important than dealing with reality. Again, nothing new or unexpected.

As per usual, articles like this are meant as a sort of threat or sound horn to mobilize the propagandized. The usage of the term "impatient" is a kind of euphemism for "about to start punching nazis".
