Why do you assume that the UBI will lead to greater mobility or financial safety? My point was that it simply moves the first rung of the ladder up, such that housing that cost $X before will now cost $X+0.75*Y. Nothing changes on the ground except that numbers go higher - until existing social services are removed as "unnecessary" now that UBI is in place, which is how I often see UBI pitched. Otherwise, how is it paid for? This is beside the point, of course, but even a modest UBI of $2,000 a month will cost over 7 trillion dollars annually, which is 50% greater than total federal government spending last year.

Even now, people can move out of expensive cities and into the hinterlands. A few weeks ago, we had a story here about a guy who worked himself up from blue-collar work to carpetbagging (his words) in a rural town. It's possible to do that for anyone on a reasonable salary, but most people choose not to. On a known stipend, the prices in those tiny towns will rise just the same; the incentives to do so are the same as those that keep them at their current level, after all.

The recent move to remote working is probably going to do a lot more for equalization and social/physical mobility than UBI ever would, simply because it gives people the option to opt out of life in major cities. That's something that UBI by itself could never do. People will still have the fear of losing everything, of spiralling into unrecoverable debt, of never actually owning the house that they live in and the car that they drive. Look at Social Security as an example. A monthly stipend does not stop the elderly from going homeless.

Misuse of push notifications means an immediate loss of push notification permissions for me.
Interesting to consider - thanks.

Me and the people who have left interact with very different crowds of external stakeholders, so perhaps they were just unlucky to end up with some who are difficult to tolerate.

We are a team of white EU/US men, so I don't think discrimination is a factor in our different experiences. I do however think we are treated differently in some contexts; I am ~20 years younger than most of my team and can definitely see a tendency for people in AWS to see younger technical talent as a more useful resource, in that they are going to put up with more BS on average before quitting or burning out. I suppose that might just have become a self-fulfilling prophecy in this case.
So they are not operating Sega World or Arcade Centre, but still making arcade the machine?

If that is the case I am fine. I was rather worry about the end of Arcade. Especially with Racing Games.
In this context it is a play on the Web 2.0 and Web3 terminology.

Actually, yes, you do save energy by connecting them. You reduce wind friction by having them draft each other, and you reduce weight by having one large motor instead of multiple smaller ones.

I did both, moving out of a big city in middle of pandemic. Socialization became 10x easier the moment I moved. Anecdotal etc etc, but people are more friendly and more outgoing where I moved vs where I moved from.
Any suggestions for good performance and extensibility? I've tried a few but kept coming back to Midnight Commander for performance/stability and VFS support.
Rural should not imply "homeschooled".

Sega is selling the consumer arcade stores. Yes, there are communities that work to preserve arcade machine ROMs and other media.
I think it's around like a ton of goods for 500 miles, per gallon of fuel.
> Germans believe that they need mental straightjackets or they start invading neighbors.

Are you implying that Americans don't regularly (as in, at least once every decade after the last World War) invade other countries even without those "mental straightjackets"? :)

And yes, I know it's stupid to ascribe this to "Americans", but that's the same as saying that of Germans... perhaps we're both talking out of prejudice?
Is there anyone here using CL in production? If so, why -- compared to more mainstream solutions -- and how's your experience been?
> The parent said they were interested in alternative coordination mechanisms. I pointed them to where to find more

You pointed nowhere. You literally said, and I quote: "I recommend hopping on the discord channels for these different projects and seeing what you can find."

That is literally "hop onto the literally thousands of Discord channels inundated by random talk".

> This is how curiosity works.

Curiosity !== "you need to sift through mounds of shit in the hopes to find 'little glimmers spread across lots of projects'"

Had there been anything interesting or valuable in these "lots of projects", we'd have seen something coherent describing it.

> ENS just

> grappling with how to update registration prices

> have a delegate and voting system for decision making

And That is surely described in their docs in a coherent manner, or you have to join their Discord?

So I went ahead and did that.

#ens-faqs does not contain FAQs. It has a link to #server-faqs and "please don't fall for scams" pleas

#server-faqs has nothing on that. There are question about airdrops though, whatever that is

Maybe #dao-info contains that info? No

At this point I quit their Discord. Life is finite. Bullshit is infinite

> Registration on expiry prices for ENS itself is pretty boring so reading more about this is likely only interesting to someone curious about alternative coordination mechanisms.

It might be interesting to many people, if, you know, there was actual info on any of this.

Yeah, I was trying to minimize any sort backlash to my comment. It really is hate speech.

When people make assertations about free speech and "disagreeable" content it grinds my gears. It's one thing to say that Nickleback is the best band ever and another to say that all Mexicans are rapists, drug dealers, and/or murderers.

I do understand that censorship is a dangerous thing, but we're also playing with fire by giving megaphones to hatemongers. It's my (obviously limited) observation that a solid chunk of the American public would be fine with exterminating "the others" if it was allowed to happen. That isn't by happenstance and it shows no signs of abating (quite the opposite really).

I bought a Canon T2i with the EF 50-1.4 lens (far more expensive than the usual recommended EF-50 1.8) for $250 a few years ago. Although camera bodies do not deteriorate except when buying a heavily used camera with 20000+ shutter clicks, they still depreciate in value like all other consumer electronics. Consumer camera bodies have long since reached the "good enough" point for most users and now are just minor incremental evolutions. For Canon, that happened with the Canon XSi that introduced drastically improved autofocus and low light capabilities and especially the T2i that introduced full 1080p HD video support (T1i supported 1080 video but not at 30fps). This T2i replaced my previous Canon camera. My photography is effectively free. Let's just not talk about my lights and lenses...

Here is an implementation. This should work with all types. Unfortunate I had to annotate with restrict, but a small price to pay.
Why do you think it is?
So it's super-bad UX where radically different interaction patterns are used for what are to the user similar kinds of interaction, creating a trap.
The whole idea that companies "own" you, no matter what they pay you to work for them, needs to go.

If you own the company and want to dedicate your entire life to it, that's one thing. When you only work for a company, even if you are getting stock, the company should not expect you to dedicate your life to it in the same way as the people who actually own the company and get to make the decision about how your stock options work (for example).

Even if everyday clerical kinds of jobs, companies have gotten the idea that workers are beholden to them and often have soul-crushing policies and expectations. I'm glad workers are finally saying "Enough!", giving them the finger, and finder better jobs rather than putting up with companies having unreasonable demands on their workforce.
One minor nitpick, there's no difference between n-ary functions and unary functions as any n-ary function is homomorphic to the curried version.
Thank you for the information, I was just looking up the max speeds in Wikipedia.
I agree. It's used for things that really do feel like debt. Perhaps a dependency on a library that no longer has support.

But then it's also used for subjective things like "too monolithic" or "spaghetti code" where the value of fixing might not be clear. Or even that the issue is really an issue.
SBCL is one of the two most useful Common Lisp implementations (the other one being Embeddable Common Lisp). I wish I could permanently move to the Common Lisp / emacs universe. Unfortunately, I am stuck in this one, called "the Real World."
For my family I use ledger and a bunch of little programs I've written over the years to import data and generate reports. I've tried every other tool and system over the decades, and nothing beats PTA (and ledger, in my case).
and this will be the 500k trap:

function() public payable {
deposit();
}

If it didn't have this no-arg behavior, then the mistake wouldn't have been made.
I remember this holy war. :)

I think Far Manager wins in extensibility and being FOSS, and Windows/Total Commander wins in out-of-the-box utility.
I started using Ledger for my small consulting business in Switzerland. Here, the internal accounting structure is quite flexible as long as you can output the balance sheets in the required format. My fiduciary asks for PDFs to verify the (legal) accounting norms anyway.
The biggest thing stopping me from doing it would be a lack of quality healthcare. I can't imagine many top doctors hanging around a place like Kansas.
Aurora gets apks directly from Play Store via reverse engineered api
Yeah any text editor would be fine which is what's great about PTA but editing text on a phone isn't great. That app looks like it might be what I'm looking for so I'll have a look at that thanks
This particular affectation seems really far from overcoming its current limitation of being a readability roadblock.
I anticipated a response like that and you have a valid point, but it does not explain nearly all the issues. Just as an example, not only why does simple swiping home screens on an iPhone/iPad lag after a few years when nothing has fundamentally changed about that behavior, but an even greater question is why is it permissible that/if other features and expensive computations are added that are impacting performance of such fundamental and core functionality/behavior.

There should be no right that barring some major security changes, that core functionality is not only impacted, but that added features impact performance or that a user should have the right to choose performance over features.

I reiterate my example, would it be ok with you if your car lost 100 hp or 20 mpg fuel economy over 5 years because there were things added to your car that weigh it down so much or due to a roughshod rebuilding of your engine every time you changed your oil?

It is really a clear case of fraud and destruction of property when, e.g., a phone becomes so laggy that it is unusable over 5 years solely due to updates that were imposed and required by manufacturers even if they try to justify it by adding things you did not request or need or want.

I am actually surprised that an enterprising technology aware lawfirm has not latched onto this issue. It seems to me to be a rather simple case of proving at the very least the negligence and willful destruction and degradation of others' property.

To simplify the concept, e.g., we are constantly told by phone makers that next-phone is N times faster/more powerful; so how is it that the phone I was told is 5 times more powerful than the predecessor, all the sudden lags when swiping between home/app screens or launching a dialer, a core functionality that hasn't changed in years and like it never did before?

At best, we are facing an immensely sloppy industry that damages our products and property through forced updates; at best.
If the CDN abides by GDPR laws and doesn't process user data then it is fine. But if the CDN you use process user data for its own gain rather than just serve the request then that goes against GDPR. It is your responsibility as a developer to ensure the services you use follow these laws.

If you don't have a contract stating that the other part will honor GDPR then we will assume that the other part will misuse all data sent to them, so you aren't allowed to send any data at all.
Yep I recently did exactly this for my personal site as well (including initially writing HTML by hand), but instead of lisp I wrote a ~100 line python script[0] so that I could write future content in Markdown instead of HTML. Yes I'm aware of Jekyll and Hugo and such, but even those were too complex for my personal site. It only took about an hour of my time to write it, and now anytime I push markdown changes to my git repository, GitHub Actions runs the markdown through the python script and generates the site which is hosted on GitHub pages.

Yeah, we all know about the incredible rags-to-riches stories en masse in the "before time". Which are those, exactly?

If Google was banking its business on Europeans continuing to click "Accept all" in privacy popups, that would be worrisome – but I doubt it's true.

Do we? Online, maybe, but that's no substitute. In large parts of the country, kids can't go see their friends without their parents shuttling them around, in part because the terrain is near-impassable without a car.

Maybe if the rural community is still somewhat walkable - the core of many small town would qualify - but my feeling is that many/most are not.

(That said, this applies to most suburbs these days too, and even many cities. Unfortunately.)
How does the system 'kind of break down' when you have a family?
Correct. I am horrible at typing on the phone.
I wish I hadn't spent my time watching that. Argument through incredulity and mocking might be entertaining for some, but it's very low signal and all noise. Leaving this comment as a warning for others.
> So he's either stupid or lying.

Imagine that you're getting a haircut. You're sitting there for a half hour or so. To fill the empty space you say something mindless like, "this weather, huh?", and they say "I know right, it seems like it gets colder every winter".

Do you write them off as a climate change denier? Or do you recognize that this is just two humans beating back the monotony of everyday life with a little small talk.

Maybe there is more to the story, maybe they went on a 10 minute rant about bill gates and 5g, but that wasn't written here.

Not everyone is a scientist giving a lecture. Not everyone is the enemy. Some people are just bog standard humans getting through the day.
There's other devices that work fine wired or over Bluetooth or a dongle like the Xbox One S controllers. Maybe Logitech thinks it would be too confusing as the mice they make that support dongles and Bluetooth also support multiple connections so throwing wired in there might be too much. Who knows.

> Since mid-1980s Reagan-era reforms of antitrust law, the test for whether a company is a monopolist has been whether its dominance harms consumers—usually through higher prices or shoddy goods. It has been hard to make that charge stick against companies that offer many of their services free, like Google and Meta Platforms (née Facebook), or at (usually) competitive prices, like Amazon ; or that take a cut of what seems to be a big, competitive market, like Apple does with apps.

> The FTC, under its Biden-appointed chairwoman, Lina Khan, has been shifting the terms of the argument, focusing less on harm to consumers or even rivals, and more on how the bigness of Big Tech harms companies that are, in essence, its partners.

> To understand, we have to look at an unusual word the FTC has used of late: “monopsony.” If a monopoly is a market with one dominant seller, a monopsony is its inverse, a market where one buyer is pre-eminent. Monopolists can gouge consumers. A monopsonist has the same power over sellers.

> Big tech’s platforms—the things that have made them so much money—effectively make them market-controlling middlemen, and the FTC is saying that the tech giants are abusing their positions as, in effect, the ultimate proxy buyers for all users of their platforms.

> By this logic, Apple’s App Store is the dominant place that app sellers must go to sell their software and services, because globally, it rakes in twice the revenue of its next-biggest competitor, Google’s Play store. Amazon wields its power over companies that want to sell goods online. Google and Facebook lord theirs over the publishers selling ad space.

> Many people think it's a binary option of handwriting HTML vs using WordPress…

It's worth noting that one can handwrite HTML for WordPress themes and emit static sites from WordPress. This is a great option for those who like SSGs but want rich content management.

Another option for this is to use WordPress as the CMS for your SSG. For example, this post describes how to use Gatsby with WordPress: https://liftoffllc.medium.com/gatsby-wordpress-bringing-toge...
The write_unaligned is pure FUD. Regular unpacked structs don't violate alignment on fields!
Fair, there would be a more informal economy that would compensate for a lot of it.

Am a bit skeptical that a course could easily be created out of the air like that, but maybe smaller places are a lot more flexible.
> Yes, your kid is not going to have as many teachers. They will also have far, far, far fewer peers and smaller classroom sizes. They will get more attention from the teachers. If your kid wants to do AP or SAT prep, you will find your local school can run the course after hours. You can probably hire one of their teachers.

This seems a bit disingenuous. More likely, families would need to give up on their child getting a truly rigorous education. Schools in rural US don't have the ability to actually prepare students for top tier college programs. They may be adequately prepared for middling undergraduate education but they won't be anywhere even close to AP/IB students from Austin/SF/Seattle/Boston.
If GTK is acceptable, maybe try gentoo [1]. It's not very well maintained "lately", but performance used to be a goal and it sure has a lot of settings.

Host on where though? You leak user's IP to your web host, to your CDN.
Science is about finding the truth. The concept of ‘a truth’ based on ‘consensus science’ has the same relationship to the scientific method as homeopathy.
There is no reason a male of the house can't be the homemaker. Even if he's the one working some of the land, that will likely be before the kids are really awake.

You may also have an elderly parent or an older child who can do the work. Remember, with enough land you can give family members their own house, yard and driveway.

It's important to not get stuck in old ways of thinking.
Yes, archive.org :-D.
You can find plenty of arcade games, all running in a browser version of MAME.

You can't pitch ways of increasing demand as a fix for a supply shortage. You're just shuffling around how who gets what is decided. Why is a government agent deciding any more ethical than your bank account?

And creating a public market necessarily diminishes the private, driving up costs, as purchasers are now competing with government for the same supply.
Flash seemed like an evolved form of HyperCard, and the proprietary nature of both were ultimately their demise. I retain some hope that somebody will redo / updo this family of tools on top of a cross-platform game engine like Unity.
Yeah, it really frustrates me that this site's startup culture worships people who are veritably garbage individuals as opposed to recognizing the people who, you know, actually built the stuff in the first place. I struggle imagining a world where so-called hackers respect Jobs more than Wozniak or Dennis Ritchie, but here we are...
Holy jumping Jesuits.

No. Just... No. This has never worked well on any private org, and it will definitely not work in the Judiciary, especially since to establish that vaunted KPI you'd need to measure against something objective, and so much of the legal system would be undone since the subjective weighs very heavily into it. Otherwise you wouldn't have things like the Ninth Circuit (which I think would be an improvement), yet I'm reluctant to say that throwing that subjectivity out isn't in some way part of a long term check or balance...
There are two videos in the previous comment, though. Do they both do poor analysis?
