Actually all religions are completely right about usury. The problem is that they had no idea how to get rid of it. Banning it obviously doesn't work.

>. Yeah yield is like a natural economic law, who are these ancients to claim it is a law against God?

Actally classical economics predicts that there is no such thing as capital gains, i.e. a perfect market drives economic profit and capital gains to zero.

Keynsian economics has the idea of liquidity preference. Once the interest rate falls below liquidity preference people will simply hold onto money at 0% because they woild rather have their money immediately available than invested or lent out over the long term. This means the interest rate gets stuck in a positive range and profits can never truly fall to 0%.

Keynes' idea was an attempt at reducing the real interest rate to 0% via constant inflation as he dismissed Silvio Gesell's proposal of directly adopting a negative interest rate on cash via his famous demurrage currency idea.

Liquidity preference is a general concept that applies to almost every asset. However, Henry George discovered that land is kept empty when its yield is below the liquidity preference of the owner. The owner would rather sit and wait until an opportunity presents himself even though the plot of land that he is keeping away is needed to satisfy a basic human need: shelter.
Interestingly I find that while you can doom scroll on a laptop for me it doesn’t “work”.
Perhaps because my laptop is work territory (both actual work and hobby) so I automatically don’t doom scroll there or maybe it’s just that lots of content is optimised for mobile and the experience is “better”.

I've been fascinated for years by tidal power and small-scale experiments into it. Something as simple as a float tied to the sea floor around a flywheel is an almost limitless small-scale energy source. It would be amazing to see wave power scaled up to fuel entire islands. Cheaper battery costs are the big mover here; once it's possible to store enough energy on-island you can cut the fuel imports and the investment becomes much more attractive.

people are keeping it alive to a very high degree, replacements for the none-off-the-shelf chips are being designed, multiple revisions of the PCB has been reverse-engineered, and you can order both "faithful" replicas (chose your color too!) or heavily tweaked boards based on the original designs but with various improvements.. Some have gone as far as replacing everything that can be replaced with SMDs.

You can get brand-new plastic cases, injection-molded in the original Commodore molds.

There are even a fully-mechanical replacement for the keyboard (though, the keycaps,you have to 3D print)

Significantly increasing performance is one of the most rewarding tasks in software development, comparable only to deleting unused code. At least for me.

However, for most business applications, it doesn’t bring much value. Modern hardware allows a lot of inneficiencies, and having some step few seconds faster or slower won’t matter much. In the last decade I spent maybe a day per year improving performance.

However, when I worked on some mini games recently performance was important since day 1. And I got a lot of joy from that process, programming was fun again!

The real issue is company ownership is anti-democratic so we can't stop EA or activision from making games in fraudulent ways, so we'd need to have some ownership share over the company because it effects us politically.

There's no other way then private power being co-owned with the rest of society, aka there are certain things private individuals and companies can't engage in. That is the only explanation because corporations have state like powers at scale which all effect us. So capitalist ideology is still the root cause, there is no other alternative. AKA bobby kotick can say to his employee's "make games with drm" and the employee's must obey or be fired, that is the fundamnetal problem with capitalism in a nutshell. If someone who owns a powerful business is a giant dick there's no way to push back unless you give up the idea of owernship being in the hands of one or a small group of owners that can simply compel our obedience to their rules.

Actually, they only halted the issuing of new permits. Oil companies have years of existing permits stacked up. Additionally, federal land makes up for about 10% of total US production. So it has about zero effect right now and will have minimal effect in the future.

Just because corruption cannot be "beat" doesn't mean it cannot be reduced. Having lived both in India and the west, believe me people who haven't experienced the former don't know what real corruption is. And on the other end, if you have lived your entire life in a country in the bottom half of the corruption index you may think of corruption to be normal and a necessary way of life, but it is absolutely possible to make a meaningful difference through activism and laws.

People considered deflation bad enough to fight two world wars.

After all, deflation makes a lot of people redundant since the wealthy don't want to share.

For example, Germany wants to produce every product on the planet and everyone to world in Germany. The idea of letting the Greek work in Greece is an abhorrent idea to most Germans.

Germans want to save as an end itself. They sell products and services to Greece without ever buying anything from Greece. This is bound to collapse at some point because the Greece debt that is fueling Germany's ecpnomy is unsustainable. Oh wait it did... and the same story is happening with italy, spain, protugal and even more african countries.

All those countries ought to not exist because Germany is running the show right? Who is Germany going tp sell its products once they are gone?

Oh right. Nobody. This very same relationship between countries also happens within countries. There are some individuals that are slightly more profitable to hire so they get the whole 40 work week even if they only want to work 25 hours for example. Those 15 hours cannot be worked by a poorer person that actually needs the money. You are now in a paradoxical situation where there is simultaneously too much money and yet not enough to employ everyone. It clearly is an allocative failure. But since the liquidationists see the failure in the existence of properly run businesses, not the fact that they hire and distribute the money to people that don't need it they will simply shut the entire business down.

After all, to get rid of the slightly more productive person that is earning more than he intends to spend, you first have to get rid of all the dozens of slightly less productive people first. During a depression, employers will fire those people whose supply and demand actually matches pretty well and ironically they tend to fire those whose supply exceeds their personal demands very late even though that is the origin of any depression. So the liquidationists end up with a very simple conclusion, shut down the business even though it is needed again in a few years, shut it down even though the cost of reopening exceeds the cost of keeping it open. Liquidationism has no proven track record, it has always ended in failure

Well, the public forum doctrine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_(legal) holds that the point of free speech is communication among citizens. I don't have a cite for the direct quote I wanted (it's lost in my browser history), but the idea was that free speech is not satisfied by just making available a space in which one is not going to be heard by anyone. This doesn't imply a positive right to a particular audience, of course.
WG14 could perfectly add proper string and vector types, even if library based structs, they didn't had any qualms to add complex numbers in C99.

Then again, just use C++ alongside std::vector, std::array and std::string with FORTIFY turned on (or equivalent) and be done with it.

I'm mildly surprised that people still write tutorials using OpenGL nowadays.

I thought the concensus is that 1) OpenGL is bad due to hidden states (and if I remember correctly, the hidden states can behave differently depending on the vendor, which exacerbates the problem), and that 2) people should move to Vulkan (or Metal, or DirectX 12).
That's what I'm getting at. You don't get to. It's the same with having a kid via birth. You don't just get to say this sucks halfway through and give up. It's not as of the system works well, it's not as if it's all fairy tales and sunshine. The kids don't just go into another perfect situation. Put another way its not a better situation for the kid, only an out for the parents.
You could very easily say the same thing about goto vs structured loops, for example:

"I hate this. I don't know why people insist on forcing this programming style into every language. Goto and labels exist for a reason. They are simple, they work, and nine times out of ten, they are faster than this crap."

It's just a more structured way to express common operations that we use loops for, and it does has objective technological advantages over raw loops when implemented and used correctly.

As for performance, that is going to vary language to language, but in general iterator processing pipelines are not slower and can even be faster than raw loops. Whether this is the case in Go, I have no idea.

With all of that being said, I am not sure if I would use this style of programming in Go since it doesn't feel idiomatic (yet?).
Sometimes yes but for a lot of situations we have better options, like ClojureScript, TypeScript, etc.

I am no fan of Go's design, other than the small Oberon-2 influence it got.

I agree with the sentiment. Go is definitely more resistant to bad code than any other language I know. I'll take bad Go over bad Rust or bad C++ any day, but unfortunately bad Go is pretty prevalent these days...

"People who prefer Java use it _because_ it is verbose. Nothing is implicit and that makes good easy to read."

The irony.
This is me. I've been programming for decades, and the simplicity of Go appeals.

Projects like OP's just tell me that OP doesn't understand Go, and why Go was designed the way it was. They're trying to make this cool thing from another language (that they understand and know how to use) work in Go. But if they really understood the philosophy behind Go they wouldn't be doing this (and their life as a Go programmer would be a lot easier).

But then, I had the same experience coding in Rails. I hated all the magic, the "if you do this then Rails will automagically do that". I want my program to do something because I have specifically written it to do that thing. No surprises, no hidden layers of abstraction. Nothing implicit. I spent a lot of time fighting the magic and trying to write simple, verbose code in Rails. It wasn't fun.
Well, if I have a directory highlighted ENTER could mean ENTER THE DIRECTORY. Or you hit enter to open the file so you can ENTER its contents. But I'm arguing linguistics, which is stupid.

What is the primary purpose of a file explorer? To find and view a file. It's called 'Finder' not 'Renamer'.

Please tell me a graphical file explorer (and there is probably 100 of them since the dawn of windowed OSs) where ENTER does not open the file that is not Finder. Please tell me one example. Maybe a dedicated file-rename-utility?

If you have a tree of files in an IDE on a sidebar, and you're navigating the tree with arrow keys, and you press Enter. Should it prompt to rename the file or display the source code file you selected?

If you have a image viewer that is showing a grid of image thumbnails and you are navigating them by arrows. You press enter with a thumbnail highlighted. Does it open the image, or prompt you to rename it?

You have selected "Open a file" from practically any GUI app and it displays a File Picker, which is basically what Finder is. As you navigate the grid/listing/whatever, and highlight a choice and hit ENTER, what do you expect to happen?

If you interact with listing or grids or displays of files or objects and have one of them highlighted, and hit ENTER in 99.99% of programs (number made up on the spot by me), does it open/activate/display/expand/select the item, or rename it?

Finder's behavior in this instance doesn't just go against other operating systems' file pickers/navigators, it goes against practically any navigate-items and select-by-pressing-Enter GUI paradigm in virtually every GUI program in existence.

The rename operation is so rare compared to select/open/activate that it is reduced to a hotkey or function key in virtually every other app, OS, and dialog.

And in many cases, those votes don’t have a direct impact one way or the other on those broken systems.

In the US, it’s pretty clear now that both parties will keep the private health insurance racket intact (and tied to an employer), education costs will increase and student debt won’t be forgiven, retirement age will increase and social security will remain underfunded, climate change will at most be paid only lip service, military+police funding will increase over any meaningful social programs, the minimum wage will not keep up with cost of living, we will continue to incarcerate rather than rehabilitate, national debt will continue to increase even though none of the above is being meaningfully addressed…

Yes, I’m painting with a very broad brush, but you can probably see why a very large contingent of younger people would be discontent with the state of the world — even if you personally believe these aren’t the government’s issues to fix (or even if you think they’re not issues at all).

Sure, we have two different parties to choose from (once in a blue moon, sometimes a viable third). There’s still a large contingent of 18+ millennials today, even among those who do vote, who are asking: what are we even voting for?
