> Obviously it's hard to prognosticate about the future, but right now the "more left" of the parties with credible possibilities of election success in the U.S. has chosen $400,000 as the income level above which taxes can increase. There's simply no way you can create a UBI on that basis.

$200/month UBI, while obviously not a full, mature UBI, would approximately equal the maximum benefit of general assistance (means tested welfare for adults without dependents) in most of the US, and could probably be done with net tax increases in only that range (though the increases would need to go beyond just “regular” income tax and also include things like ending the favorable tax treatment of capital over labor income.)

But, in any case, there is very likely a sea change coming in the Democratic Party, which is currently led by Boomers (and some Silents) who came into their political prime during and before the 1990s neoliberal consensus; the Boomer demographic wave is crashing and the Millennials (Gen X is both smaller and more Republican than the Millenials, so less relevant to the future direction of the Democrats) have a rather different understanding of political possibility not grounded in nostalgia for a bipartisan era that has long passed.
Zig? I personally haven't used it, but based on what I've heard about it, it fulfills these criteria.
"I work with non-technical people..."

Consider using WordPress. There are many hosting providers who offer a managed WordPress option. They manage the installation, hosting and back-ups. The non-technical users simply sign-in to WordPress via their browser to write posts using a browser-based editor. Local installation on user machines is simply not required.

Static Site Generators (SSGs) like Hugo are supposedly 'simple' compared to the complexity of dynamic blog engines. However, the Hugo setup discussed in this thread is much too complicated and defies the meanings of simplicity or easy. SSGs lack comments and even a simple contact form is impossible without a third-party service or plug-in.
I want to disagree with you. But I just can't. We go from having to read ten lines to about forty? With about five or six new concepts that are not related to the original.

I absolutely agree that it's a step in the right direction. My point is that we can't get all the way to where we want to be simply by incremental improvements in compilers. At some point we have to change the code itself because it's impossible to fully retrofit safety onto C.

It's very difficult for Americans to travel there. But I got the visa once, and went to Oran and Algiers.

I had to send my passport via Fedex to the Algerian consulate in NYC and cross my fingers. There are strange rules about whether you have to send it there or to Washington DC, based on which US state you live in (no one in the US cares about this).

Beyond that, it can be difficult for Americans to understand French with any unconventional accent, let alone understand Arabic at all. I know enough words to count and understand what the police say.
To a software engineer this will also read mad. This article is ultimately explaining why abstraction is good and why it's helpful to build classes in python. That is already obvious to SWEs, not at all specific to "scientific computing", and explained elsewhere much more succinctly.
Its not just because of the name. The common history of collectivist thought is well document hand has been for decades. The first few Chapters of 'The Road to Serfdom' (originally planed to be separate book) have a whole intellectual history of what became Nazism and how it relates to Socialism.

I mean to leading fascist in Italy was literally kicked out of the Socialist party. And not because his theory on Marxist exploitation was different.

It can certainty be argued that Hitler took the original NSDAP into a different direction then it would have gone otherwise. And Hitler himself certainty wasn't much thinker in terms of that history. He was much more a pure German nationalist and a race theorist.

But Hitler did deliberately build on that intellectual tradition.
You don’t need to have sat in a rally car. The split second decision making is the context, not the method. The context doesn’t have to match perfectly. They just share the attribute of “high cognitive load”.

Did you read the link I posted? The essence of the idea is you have one person who takes physical action, makes small decisions and take orders. That person is called “driver”. You have another person who makes larger decisions and gives orders. That person is called “navigator”.

The dynamic I just described is true of rally car driving and strong style pair programming. It’s not true for most pair programming or most other types of driving.
If you open my link, you will find how to switch it on.

I won't try to answer in general, but in this case? The price is the same so they're getting the same amount of money, there's a good chance the customer isn't running into the 100GB limit any time soon and there's literally no cost to the provider until they do, and if the customer was going to run into the limit naturally the first thing they'd do is see what a higher tier price is and find out about it being free anyway.
Interesting question for me because I have been scratching the surface of social theories lately and am looking forward to reading more precise answers than this one of mine.

What I see at the moment is that each social model can predict or see a part of society / elephant. That is:

- Dialectical materialists say the problem is resources and wealth, they see the trunk.

- Dialectical idealists say the problem is the forces and anti-forces of our spirit, they see the tail.

- Positivists say that social movements can be measured and predicted as in the physical sciences, they see the ears.

- Symbolic interactionists focus on the exchange of symbols during micro-social interactions, and only see the animal's eyes.

And so on, the critical theorists, the positivists... they see other parts of the elephant or society but in my opinion nobody can predict much and the only possibility to know how is the society or the elephant is in having all the perspectives.

PS. Yes, sorry for the metaphor
What is worse than porn addiction is an active social stigma against those standing up against it. Subs like r/noporn have received a lot of criticism for their views and associations (usually religious orgs).

What is rarely talked about is that a lot of porn consumption is done by married men, which leads one to think that the problem is not changing morale norms amongst the youth, but in fact porn itself, better yet: instant access to free algorithmically formulated dopamine stimulation.

It is interesting to see comments expressing extreme concerns about US employees being able to access Hetzner servers, but then I'd wager: 1) they're probably using Google/US services at their companies with almost a gaurantee 2) Germany has ties with US for surveillance 3) Hetzner uses US servers (Intel, AMD, Micron) and a whole bunch of other components in their servers. Or worse, Chinese components.

I guess I fail to see the logic in all of this, appears to be uninformed security theatrics.
I actually love it and the more complex the system the better. I have been doing it for more than 10 years now and everyday I learn something new from the legacy and the replacement that we work on
You seem to have gotten downvoted for whatever reason, but I like the overall sentiment of your comment, and I think it has a ring of truth..
They probably have many happy customers in Europe. At least I'm one. And now they finally have an US data center, so now it makes sense to talk about them.
Yeah, the hard part is maintaining a file just to have the tools you want is a major hurdle that is not reasonable for most people to jump over. If I'm working I might do something like this:

curl example.com/data.json | jq ...

and I'll realize I don't have `jq` installed. I do not want to open vim, edit a configuration file, and then re-run a command to rebuild my system. I just want jq. I can't change context like that just to get a package.

I understand this isn't aligned with the purity stance that nix has but if they were able to allow this use case, it would most likely get more people doing it the right way eventually.

I can't drink all the kool-aid at once, I really need to replace bits of my workflow at a time and I can't do that with nix currently.

The approach I've laid out in my original comment (using `nix-env`) provides a bad developer experience and makes me not able(willing?) to move forward with the adopting more of the practices. If the initial experience was better, I'd invest more time learning more.
Even as a cryptocurrency developer myself, I concur with most of the criticism. I detest all the cash grabbing, speculation, hype, and scams.
Where I diverge from most criticism is in PoW. In its early years, when Bitcoin was used as currency rather than for speculation, mining only consumed moderate amounts of energy, in line with the lower prices of a few dozen dollar per bitcoin at most. My hope is for Tether to crash, leading to a downward price spiral for Bitcoin, an end to rampant speculation, and a huge scaling down of mining. There should be no expectation of financial gain in cryptocurrency. It should just serve its original purpose of making convenient limited value purchases online.
I don't support PoS as it leads to huge wealth concentration with the founders owning 100% of all initial coins.

Thanks! This article makes some nice recommendations, but they don't have much to do with Rust, these things have been in a lot of other mainstream languages for a long time. I'm not sure this supports zozbot's claim that the modern trend is to "refactor C++ code so that it's more Rust-like" very strongly.

I also assume they meant that that we should adhere to AxM in C++ (since that's the only thing new Rust brings), to make interop with Rust easier, but I could be interpreting incorrectly.
I don't know very much about this stuff but it seems to me that the fairly dense housing just "behind" the wall relative to the prevailing winds would suffer from A LOT of snow accumulation.

I am sure I would enjoy living in that building and the community design seems good, if not quite as dense as might be ideal given some of the green space placement. If they have concerns about the wind they really need a lot more trees, I would venture a guess that a couple of good windrows of trees would be as good or better than the building -- but then of course trees aren't houses!
My prediction: Russia makes some quick wins against Ukraine's military, but discover they can't defeat a stubborn, well-armed guerilla resistance.

Then things will get ugly.

If we go by Russia's actions against Ukraine in the 20th century, they'll start rounding up civilians and sending them to a life of hard labor in Siberia [1], not much caring if they survive the journey and conditions.

Or just shoot all the farmers who know what they're doing and sell all the food, with predictably horrific results [2].

Vladimir Putin will deny any reports of atrocities committed by his military as hysteria and exaggeration, or say that all the bad things happening to civilians are being done by big bad Ukrainians to poor innocent Russian separatists, in his variation on that old favorite theme of school bullies everywhere, "Stop hitting yourself." There will be a lot of hand-wringing and sanctions, but ultimately NATO will decide that if Russia's actions result in the deaths of a few million people, it's unfortunate, but ultimately this isn't an issue over which we would start World War 3 and trigger the deaths of a few billion people.

Russia will discover it has a taste for brutal repression and territory annexation (to a greater extent than it currently has). It will turn into Soviet Union 2.0. NATO and every former Soviet state will have common interests in avoiding another Ukraine situation, meaning those states will all rush to join NATO, and NATO will super-fast-track them. Which will make Russia even more alarmed and less rational. Which will get us closer to World War 3 than we've ever been.

The sanctions -- driven by a Europe united in fear and disgust of Russia's actions -- will ultimately decouple Russia from Europe economically: Iron Curtain 2.0. China will be perfectly fine with it, as it will allow them to fill the economic vacuum left by the severed European ties, and become Russia's top trading partner.

Which will lead to more coordination among Russia and China, and they'll validate and reassure each other that dictatorship, repression, genocide, etc. are perfectly legitimate means of running a country. China will be better able to stand up to the US with Russian trade to fall back on if the US threatens them with sanctions. China will be emboldened to take Taiwan and maybe more, if Russia's invasion of Ukraine is successful in enlarging its borders. From the point of view of the leadership, the prestige from border enlargement is the point of playing the game; the barbarism, deaths and misery are unimportant implementation details.

...Wow, thinking about where this is going is quite depressing.

I agree, the bad code at the start is clearer than 99% of the scientific code I've read, without exaggeration. The typing & the abstractions proposed are not only unnecessary but also unrealistic for research code.

If scientists want to improve their code, the first and most important step is to get them to use descriptive verbose names for their variables and functions, and to learn the single responsibility principle.
Many commenters here have already noted the strong connection between this study findings and common Buddhist-/mindfullness-based meditation instructions.

To me it was the concept of interoception which produced the stronger callback to Buddhist themes, in this case to the notion of "sixth inner sense" commonly referred to in Pali Buddhist scriptures:

> In Buddhism, "mind" denotes an internal sense organ which interacts with sense objects that include sense impressions, feelings, perceptions and volition.[0]

I have always found this sixth sense organ a welcome –and even necessary– addition to the regular Western list of senses, as without it it is impossible to account for the bountiful nature of our inner experiences (and our perception of them, which evidently foregoes the five other physical senses). I am really glad to see we have a somewhat established (if not very well-known) comparative concept to use in the scientific framework of understanding.

This is kinda unrelated, but I've been reading about the French Revolution lately.

All this reminds me of the upcoming bourgeoisie that purchased up the land of France using the fiat currency the assignat. At auction.

Our fiat currency, similar to the assignat, is given value by the auctioning of real estate (or other assets) to the wealthy, so they can feel they have a means to escape inflation. To be paid in hard assets for imaginary numbers.

At the same time. During the revolution, the French monarchy was attempting to reclaim its sovereignty away from the nobility and other ruling interests. Though, it failed and new interests took power.

The Canadian government seems to be pushing towards firm collectivism based on its sole authority. Even the state funded media functions more as a public relations entity, than journalism.

I feel like Canada is at a crossroads. The current system, while seemly robust, is unsustainable and becoming unstable.

I think some degree of abstraction can lead to more clarity – especially if it hides a bunch of crap, that is done over and over again throughout the code. But these abstractions need to be very well chosen, clearly named and unless they really give you more clarity (e.g. by hiding some confusing details to bring the general point you are trying to make across more clearly) I would advice against them.

If your scientific code is meant to be used in actual software or if you want to write tests for the functions used, a little bit more abstraction might be a good idea, however.
Typically people use RAID or ZFS to prevent data loss when a few hdds fail.

So-called "web3" is still early-stage and amorphously defined, born of the tensions between web1 (a user-sovereign Commons, but lacking identity and value transfer) and Web 2.0 (payments and identity, at the cost of surveillance, enclosure of social Commons, and Metcalfe-monopoly Platform Capitalism).

I understand the pushback against the "crypto grift", and as a critique of Actually Existing Crypto-Anarchist Political Economy, I completely agree. But the race for the future is happening with or without us. We can either cede the territory to the bad economics (and worse ethics) of Austrian-school neo-goldbugs; or, we can get involved and leverage the tools towards democratic principles, human values, regenerative ecology, and genuine disruption of unproductive rent-seeking.

I'd view anything pitching itself as an investment with extreme suspicion. (And by all means: carbon-tax or fully outlaw "Proof of Work" mining.) But there are countless projects that are truly decentralized, not profit-oriented, and community-first/tech-second: Panvala, Breadchain, CommonsStack, Green Pill Party, Basis Project, /r/CryptoLeftists, lots more. By all means, be skeptical, call out moral hazards and perverse incentives, that's all to the good. But let's not ignore the huge opportunity to disintermediate private Capital (old and new), and in the spirit of copyleft/FOSS, to "lock open" our digital and economic infrastructure.
This is the kind of physics that's both exciting and boring to me as an outsider.

Exciting because black holes are mysterious and how do they work, but boring because there is a gravitational singularity there, which is fancy talk for general relativity or English not being useful to describe it. So you need a theory that can unite gravitational and quantum effects, but because quantum physics is not intuitive the answer to the question will never make any sense, or make black holes less mysterious on a human level. Only physicists will be able to enjoy the answer. Unless a black hole leads to another universe, but the rule so far with quantum physics is that if anyone but physicists are happy with the answer then you have an untestable interpretation. Like the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. Parallel universes? When can we go? Oh, you can't ever interact with them? You are probably making this up then.
Completely anecdotal, but doing it in-person in NYC was pretty painless for me. Walk in with paperwork, wait 2 weeks, pick up visa. I’ve heard of others having difficulty though, particularly over mail.
Gross. Imagine going on vacation for a week and not using a particular website during that time, and losing all your data.

That is why you need a well designed permission system. Android and iOs had a chance of doing this in a time when the requirements could reasonably be understood, but I don't think either came close.

For me it is a context switching issue. If I'm reaching for a package it is because I was in the middle of something that needed it. I'm not sitting there thinking "What packages might I need some day?".

So if nix could allow me to get the tools I need without context switching that would be a great addition. I don't want to have to go edit configuration files just because I haven't installed some tool yet.
