> The truth is that when you cut people out of the market you will replace people with machines and concentrate wealth in the hands of the machine owners.

Is it not economically rational to replace people with machines and concentrate wealth in the hands of the machine owners regardless of minimum wage policy?

Like, the Luddites didn't get mad during an increase in minimum wage - there was no minimum wage at the time, at all! It would be about a hundred years until England established one. They got mad during an increase in industrialization and mechanization. Marx didn't talk about ownership of the means of production, i.e., machines and who owns them, during an increase in minimum wage. This has been happening for centuries, and from a quick look around this very forum, there seems like no sign of automation slowing down or even settling at some baseline level of expense where $X/hour workers are worth paying but $Y/hour are not for any $X > 0.

There are only two long-term sustainable ways to solve this problem (and it is a problem!). One is to hope for, and work towards, technological improvements where each stage just brings more work to be done. There were more serious fears of computer programmers automating themselves out of a job a few decades ago than there were last year when GitHub Copilot was released, and that's certainly not because Copilot is unimpressive. We're just confident there's plenty more code to write and plenty more problems to solve. The other is to hope for and work towards a world where technological progress means we are post-scarcity and we can afford to pay people the same inflation-adjusted daily wages for increasingly small amounts of labor and eventually none at all.

Any plan that says that we need to maintain a low minimum wage for the sake of keeping workers employed is one that very soon will end up compromising that low value all the way to $0/hour.
The only other person in this conversation is you, so not exactly the most representative of samples, but it is an interesting perspective. I've not heard anyone else consider the same HTML resource to be more than one page before. In fact, the term "single page application" hinges on a single HTML resource in the same way. The application may have more than one screen of content, but it is still considered one page.
Decentralization and self-sovereignty is the only way to fix it.

WhatsApp was making decent money and not burning VC money at all when we sold to FB. this was in 2014. There is no such thing as clearly economically unsustainable. It is just harder.
Interesting. I'm mulling over integrating Enzyme into the LLVM D compiler so I may/will join in with that.
That’s if you’re equating one year of income vs 3 years of behavior. The fine is for 2016-2018 in which we can safely assume Intuit made at least 1.5B on TurboTax. So the income made commensurate to the fine is closer to 8x.
when it comes to software, it is easier to engineer a complex solution over a simple one. so in that sense, i would agree with you.
It doesn’t matter how much you care about those if your business model is still just to stoke extremism. If I come across someone that has Fb on their resume I’m going to be considering the period of their tenure in my assessment of their character.
Political Economy as Smith defines it is the STUDY of economics. Political economy has a point. It is an intentional action taken by a person who want to understand economies.

The economies themselves don't "have a point". They are composed of individuals who do things which "have points" but the emergent system by definition does not "have a point"
This all sounds amazing but it also gives me Theranos vibes. While I understand the general science around this has been around a long time (the aforementioned Fischer Tropsch process) I would love for this to get some independent scientific validation before I'm willing to buy in to their dream here. It just "feels" too good to be true. Even with the Faraday Reactor considerations

Seems much more scientifically plausible however. I'm just a natural skeptic.
omg! I used to go to this shop all the time when it was ProBike Falls Church or PBFC. One day the mechanic became the owner and the sales guys never gave a straight answer about where the owner was. Now it’s called Vida Ciclista, but it sells the same stuff. I do remember all the medals and fancy bike frames, I never heard the full range of lies he told, just that he was “pro” a long time ago. It makes sense now, he was just some doughy middle age corporate hack trying to be one of the cool kids and ended up with a bib wedgie instead.
> Yep. I spent the last few days surveying the cross-platform GUI landscape. It really is pretty sad. Qt and wxWidgets seem super bloated, and the Qt company appears to be actively attempting to escape from their open source obligations

If you're looking for a C++ solution -- judging from the mention of Qt and WxWidgets -- have you tried Ultimate++ (https://www.ultimatepp.org)? To me it seems much more compact than either of the two.
I’m very curious to hear more about this. Do you own undeveloped property that you live on, or are you mostly nomadic? And also, what renovations did you make and how long did it take to do this?
I find this to be an unintuitive metric, as nights that are part of longer bookings are oversampled as there are more nights in longer bookings
Can't you just provide a default implementation of the method on the trait itself? Unless there are more requirements I'm not parsing from what you wrote, that seems to do exactly what they wanted.
While standard notation already seems optimal to me for performing music, it does leave something to be desired for analyzing harmony and composing, mainly because things like major and minor thirds look exactly the same. So I would love a notation system that made harmonic relations easier to see. I'm not sure yet if this is it, but I definitely like the idea!
i think it actually does. Connectivity is important, and if connections break often, then fintech will look elsewhere. It's not a matter of which color is a button, users get pissed off and leave. So the connectivity better be good.
The opposite of a free market is having a government decide winners and losers. A reason why many like low regulations. Reduces governments ability to screw things up.

I set this:

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load

My backups and indexing are already running nice, so now they loaf along at 1.6GHz. The CPUs only spin up to full speed when I run non-nice work.

There's room to tune more. In the old days I would start large jobs (large builds, etc) with nice so they wouldn't interfere with interactive use. Now they would run slower instead of fast-but-yielding. I can always flip ignore_nice_load off if I want the old behavior for competing fast jobs.

It's an easy 80% solution, especially because most indexers and backups come preconfigured to run nice.
Sounds really unpleasant honestly. I pretty frequently eat only one insufficient meal/day or fully fast for non-health reasons and there's no getting around the fact that exercise on those days fucking sucks.

If there's any benefit I can't see it being worth it except in extreme cases. Particularly endurance exercise without calories afterwards is one of the worst things you can do to your day.
UNC Chapel Hill doesn't, probably because we're not an engineering school (actually, we do show up on that page for the BME program but that is a joint degree with NC State, which is).

I suspect there are a few other universities in that position that have reputable CS programs but otherwise no engineering--although CS itself can be said to not be engineering, I would argue that for the 90% of CS majors wanting to get a SWE job, what they are effectively seeking is an engineering degree not a science one. Still, there isn't any expectation on the part of employees that a degree is ABET accredited, as there is for engineering.

C, basic digital logic, and MIPS assembler are part of the required intro sequence here.
I had a somewhat similar experience.

I moved to a new server, installed plex, tried to set everything up under my existing account. It was impossible to move my account to a new server, it seemed to just expect my old one to still be there.

After creating new accounts, removing the old server, etcetc. I just gave up and moved to Jellyfin. It’s been mostly equally good. Better in the sense that it stutters less on my TV (Could be TV app too). Worse in the sense that my parent cannot figure it out.
I found the historical discussion more interesting and thoughtful than the deductions.

ahh yes, the vocal analog of "resting bitch face". A true shame.

Those quirks are unfortunate. I have a tendency to laugh when nervous and I've had some situations where I was interpreted as being inappropriate to some solemn situations.

I'd expand the goals / means somewhat:

Hierarchy of Failures in Problem Resolution

https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/2fsr0g/hierarc...

(Invereting the senses it becomes a "kill chain" or success chain.)

0. Is there a problem?

1. What is the problem?

2. What is/are the root cause(s)?

3. What is/are the goal(s)?

4. How do we get there from here?

5. Who needs to be persuaded to help, or at least not obstruct, and how to communicate this?

6. Executing on project.

7. Assessment.

Many people jump straight to method (sama here: boost minimum wage) or goal, without doing a deep think of cause. In some cases, the cause step isn't all that critical --- if someone's drowing or your tyre's flat, you don't launch a nine-month blue-ribbon commission to determine cause, you fix the problem and get people out of harms' way.

If tyres keep going flat, or accidents occur, or houses burn down, or appliances electrocute people, etc., then you might want to spend some time on root cause, and address that.

In the case of homelessness, housing, wages, and inequality, my very strong suspicion is that some very widely-accepted and held models are grossly wrong. Quite possibly because there's a beneficial interest in prolonging the problem or objecting to effective remedies, though various forms of local-minimal fixity might also play a large role.

Software security starts with the developer: Securing accounts with 2FA
minimizing total cost yes, but bidding wars on contract by contract leads to bad outcomes because the incentive is against doing the what is needed until its too late

its better to have trusted suppliers and relationships that lead to long term waste (cost) reductions and quality output (you know your client and your client knows you)

deming said it better than i can: https://deming.org/minimize-total-cost/
You linked a screenshot after you already selected a property. If you are back on the property search page, it shows a nightly price and a total price on hover, but when you click the total price goes up by the cleaning fee and the service fee. And those seem to be completely random so it's not like you can just add $100 in your head to every price. Anywhere they show a price, it should be the total price.

Same goes for hotels + resort fees, though. It seems like the only place I can really see the actual price is on airline websites?

EDIT: I just tried to repro and now the total is always matching. I swear I was just raging about this 4 days ago when I booked a trip... gah.
Damn right I don't have the patience for C. Writing anything in C properly takes a long time, and even then bugs are usually found after.

Compare and contrast Rust, where the code I write will usually just work. I don't need to be extra careful with it because the compiler is strict. You can say that this is indicative of some flaw in my character or whatever, but, uh, I don't care.
Google became evil, and Uber stayed evil while Microsoft has fled toward open source divination.

Is the rent a function of minimum wage, or is it a function of land prices? Because it's homeowners, landlords, and firms who use real estate as an investment vehicle who are driving up the land prices and also setting rents. You and I can negotiate a higher wage based on cost of living, and then participate in that bubble. Somebody making minimum wage, not so much.
Thanks! I am aware of both, but thought that they were still more for developers, and not ready for prime-time as daily drivers.
If you have a Red Hat subscription for OpenShift, then yes.

Although, unless it's high priority (like it's breaking functionality and there's no workaround) it's not usually a quick turnaround because it has to get prioritized and added to a sprint. It can take weeks or months. Although I did have a high-pri item fixed in under a day, so it does happen.

There were no minimum wages laws prior to the late 19th century. I was curious what people at the time thought, so I dug up [1]:

This is the basis of the oft-repeated accusation [...] that it prevents an employer from preferentially selecting an old man, or a physical or moral invalid, when there is a vacancy to be filled. [...] If the old man is engaged instead of the man in the prime of life, because he can be hired at a lower rate, the man of irregular habits rather than the steady worker, because the former is prepared to take smaller wages, there is a clear loss all round.

The fact that the employer's mind no longer able to seek profit by "nibbling" at wages is constantly intent on getting the best possible workmen [...]. The young workman, knowing that he cannot secure a preference for employment by offering to put up with worse conditions than the standard, seeks to commend himself by a good character, technical skill, and general intelligence.

If the conditions of employment are unregulated, it will frequently "pay " an employer (though it does not pay the community for him to do so) not to select the best workman, but to give the preference to an incompetent or infirm man, a "boozer" or a person of bad character, provided that he can hire him at a sufficiently low wage, make him work excessive and irregular hours, or subject him to insanitary or dangerous conditions.

Some other arguments that were already tired by 1915:

In 1896 [...] provision was made for the enforcement in those trades of a Legal Minimum Wage. Naturally this was opposed by all the arguments with which we are familiar - that it was "against the laws of Political Economy",that it would cause the most hardly pressed businesses to shut down, that it would restrict employment, that it would drive away Capital, that it would be cruel to the aged worker and the poor widow, that it could not be carried out in practice, and so on and so forth.

And interesting context:

In the five sweated trades to which the law was first applied sixteen years ago, wages have gone up from 12 to 35 per cent, the hours of labor have invariably been reduced, and the actual number of persons employed, far from falling, has in all cases, relatively to the total population, greatly increased.

Still more convincing, however, are the continuous demands from the other trades, as they witnessed the actual results of the Legal Minimum Wage where it was in force, to be brought under the same law.

All the "moral character" stuff didn't age well, but I'm more disappointed that we're rehashing otherwise identical arguments more than a century later.

The point isn't to remove social safety nets.

The point is that the existence of welfare in the absence of a minimum living wage requirement is openly exploited by major, highly-profitable, corporations. Walmart and McDonalds are frequently cited, they're not the only instances.

Sorry, I agree with the rest of it. That part is just a pet peeve of mine so it distracted me-- but actually I do agree. I myself haven't read any detailed judgements by the Supreme Court, very few people do.

I think people judge the outcome of these very consequential lethal decisions morally rather than based on their legal merits. In fact I doubt most people are equipped to judge cases on their lethal merits. At the end of the day if a badly supported law is passed that many people agree with, they'll go along with it. If a well supported law that people disagree with is passed, they'll complain until someone finds a problem with it no matter how minor or abstract. Many people don't understand that legality=/=morality, or they desperately want them to be the same

Initially I spent a lot of time as I used it as an opportunity to learn Nix/NixOS. I used Nix intentionally as it's a rolling release and also it's declarative and intended for reproducible deployments, so I don't need to deal with an OS like Ubuntu that slowly gets crufty and out of date and needs a clean-up or upgrade or complete re-install. And if I do need to re-install, it should be mostly a one-liner.

For security there are these scanners:

https://github.com/flyingcircusio/vulnix

https://github.com/andir/nix-vulnerability-scanner

I also run all services in docker and my network uses VLANs behind an OPNSense firewall. I use Wireguard as a pinch point into my network to access most services. So I'm not too worried about the security aspect.

Upgrading on Nix is pretty easy - just bump your lock file and it will get the latest packages, assuming you are on the unstable channel. But unstable does break on occasion. You an also use the latest stable release of Nix and selectively choose unstable packages, which is probably the way to go. I rarely need to fix anything - it's been pretty reliable - I feel like with each patch I make to my config (which is all checked into git), the system gets more reliable and reproducible - 2 steps forward, no steps back. It only starts eating time when I want to add or upgrade some element to the system, but I always make sure to never do any action that isn't captured in Nix config and backed up, so that I don't have to come back and figure out what exactly I did or how something works again. It's been fine. Nix has a pretty steep learning curve, but considering its power, I think it's absolutely worth it.

I use tags as supplementary keywords.

If you know what thread you're looking for, search is good enough. If you communicate with distinct groups of people about different projects, search is good enough. If emails from the same few people can concern different projects, and there are no terms that always appear in those message to differentiate (or your colleagues are bad at using the subject line), tagging your messages with the proper project/issue/topic goes a long way.

This means that any tag applied by a filter is usually pretty useless, you can just repeat the filter's query when needed.

That's a possible interpretation, but it is strongly at odds with numerous other statement Smith makes within both Wealth of Nations and A Theory of Moral Sentiments. It's likewise implausible as Smith gives this statement at the introduction to Book IV of the work. Clearly is is a statment of high and general importance to not merely the study but practice of political economy.

Smith's editor, here, Edwin Cannan, not only agrees but specifically calls out and further emphasises the passages.

The idea that the study would be concerned with equity but not the practice ... does not pass the sniff test.

It's appropriate to pick on UHC here but a lot of this insanity derives from rulemaking by Health & Human Services and Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services with a healthy dose of legacy everything thrown in. Even if you really wanted to fix this in an overall way you cannot without acts of congress, rulemaking by federal departments and individual legislation in each of the states and local medical jurisdictions. UHC has no inventive to make it easy to submit a claim but likewise they realize the futility of expending a lot of resources to make it the tiny bit better that current regulation would permit.

It was only high performance if used with mod_perl and that was the problem for cheap hosts. HTML::Mason without mod_perl was a dog compared with PHP. Perl generally missed the boat with embedded templating. Catalyst, Mojolicious and Dancer eventually arrived but by then PHP had won. The Perl community also wasted a lot of energy trying to agree on a de facto way of doing OO. You had Damian Conway keeping it simple with blessed hashrefs on one side and kitchen sink OO with Moose on the other. In between were countless Moose riffs - Moo, Mouse, Mo. Not content with that, others opted for a Meta Object Protocol (MOP) for Perl but none of this stuck enough for Perl to compete with Python and Ruby which had OO built-in. These 2 factors are more or less why Perl lost mindshare when it mattered.
