We should focus on the large scale offenses by big entities of course. E.g. if you have 50% market share of chicken production in the country (and another 50% is also a single corporation) then I'm sure that both of the corporations are breaking a lot of laws and utilising a lot of barely legal schemes to launder profits. Same for all sectors of economy. Examples closer to us - ISPs, Cell operators, providers of cloud computing, search, communications etc. All of that must be carefully examined, and then partitioned where monopolies or conflicts of interests arise.

Right to Buy didn't destroy the housing market. The same people who lived in council housing bought it under Right to Buy.

The problem was not building more housing to cope with increased demand. That would've happened regardless of whether the Right to Buyers were renting off the council or had bought their property.

> In the world the state builds and owns a lot public housing and this depresses rents and property values.

Public housing, but not housing. The state controls what can be built where, which can drive up demand enough that property becomes a valuable enough asset to let it stand empty. Giving the state more power on top of that to correct that incompetent use of power seems worth questioning.

> Maybe there is an actual shortage. Then any single hotel can solve the shortage by paying more, but hotels in general can't.

Sure they can - by drawing workers from other, non-hotel sectors; and other locations.

You think all those people delivering for uber eats and making 1-hour amazon deliveries couldn't learn to make a bed?

And if your hotel's in the expensive city centre and your workers have to travel from the outskirts of the city by public transport, the more you pay, the further people are willing to travel. There's a lot more cleaners within 90 minutes commute of Manhattan than there are within 30 minutes - if the job pays enough that a 90 minute commute is worthwhile.

Open Source Policy: Why It's Not Just for Wonks Anymore – Intel Communities
I'm not the author. I think you've hit on the main limitations, but I don't think it's fatal. If the lay of the land in a given field is such that there are well defined camps, then you allocate the money to each camp[0] and allow the camps to allocate the money internally. If the lay of the land is that it's diffuse and has very shifting structure, then you can't follow this strategy, but also it's maybe worth raising the possibility that it's not yet time to allocate money and the first thing the field should do is try to develop some structure.

[0] Obviously the problem of what %age to give to each camp is an important second-order problem, but if you imagine a scenario like a university, I find it more likely the Provost's office can figure out how much to give to which Dean than they to be able to figure out how much to give to which lab.

(I also think you're right to observe that even within a particular camp of a particular field there will be relationship-driven gladhanding that helps determine the flow of money, and that's a real concern, but it's just a more localized concern than I think you give it credit for. I'm also not entirely sold on it.)

I only know a hand full of languages so make of that what you will. I came from a python background and hadn't learned a compiled language before, so I wanted to experiment. Tried Rust for quite a while, but found the syntax not clicking with me though a lot of ideas seemed intriguing (pattern matching and Result types). Didn't want to try C/C++ because I wasn't that hard into figuring out how memory works and at the same time was pretty shocked at how C considers types.

That only leaves go after that, which I heard about around the same time as nim. I started out with nim and I liked it enough so I stuck with it.

Why I use it over other languages? I feel like I can express myself in english readable sentences (which gives it the python vibe for me) and at the same time I have static typing, a really nice type system in general and very little chance of crap like nullpointers occurring.

My first ah-ha moment was pretty much 3 hours in when I noticed I could already already write simple stuff and only needed to consult the std lib docs here and there. The second was when I reimplemented a webserver backend that I previously had in Django (not for practical reasons, just to see how fast it could go even very little optimization) and found it performing roughly 2-5 times faster (measured by looking at request response time), despite having optimized Django's ORM to as few queries as physically possible to get the data I needed. (For reference: That's quite surprising given a decent chunk of that time is literally just network latency)

Employment law is more like a grenade than a sharp-shooter rifle. It just deals out damage in all directions regardless of how it's used and where it's supposedly targeted.

In a country like Germany, if you fire an employee and they walk away with a hurt ego and start talking to a lawyer, you will end up hurting in some way or another, so the game is to manage egos and make sure that, when a company parts ways with an employee, the employee feels that it was mutual.

Actually, I think it would be a step in the right direction for both bosses and employees, if bosses could just say: Hey, I'm firing you because I just no longer want you here. You didn't do anything wrong. I just have other people who do the job better.

The perverse incentive is that it's probably better for companies to single out individuals they want to get rid of and treat them badly until they leave of their own account, rather than do that.

> owhere on Earth you're ever more than 6 meters away from a rat. I don't think that's true

I see that as realistic, if we are talking 2D spaces. In urban environments, they live in sewers, and you have sewers under every building. In the countryside, they obviously live everywhere.

I can see that 6-metres rule broken only if going 3D, i.e. in multi-storey buildings with spotless maintenance of any nook and cranny, living on the third or fourth floor, you might be a bit further away than that.
More anecdata my shop didn't allow exceptions in production code until very recently. I've written c++ with no exceptions for a quarter century. Now that I'm allowed to add them, I don't want to. I don't like the invisible control flow. I like how rust does it. Mostly my shop still ignores exceptions unless a dependency uses them.

Your primary decision is parser vs. hypertext, with Inform being the default choice for parser and (I think still) Twine for hypertext with Undum also being a popular choice.

Most companies producing commercial IF have in-house tooling focused on their "house style", e.g. ChoiceScript for CYOA with "chunky" dynamic content versus StoryNexus (or whatever its modern iteration is) for a more fine-grained RPG-like approach.

How (or whether) you simulate time passing also differentiates many engines.
Actually a really good point! I entirely forgot about Ruby! Though in terms of competition that does still seem less crowded of a field as one where your other contenders are C, C++, Rust (and for application and web-development there's also Go, to some degree also Java and Python)

IMO Typescript deserves all the hype. Some programmers take pride in having to remember everything and being careful while holding the whole program in memory. I am not one of them. I want the computer to help me as much as possible to remove basic errors, basic tests, and reduce cognitive load, so I can focus on the important bits.

You can try this short guides with interactive exercises to learn about the type annotations. In 15 minutes you can get really familiar with it.

I grabbed the tiller of a yacht that was about to cut a moored powerboat in half.

The skipper (of the yacht) was in his first season racing. We crossed the finish line and gybed out the way of the other finishers. He chose a poor moment to relax and the mainsail took over. There was no way he was going to work out that he needed to stop fighting to make it turn back the way we were supposed to be going and that the only way out was to encourage the boat to turn the wrong way "more", so I did it instead. In the end it was really, really close.

I'm not sure there was much thought involved. It was certainly very impolite of me to do it, but everyone concerned was very happy to not hear the crunch noise made when a yacht cuts another boat in half. We never really talked about it, but I've heard him reference it once or twice since so my vague fear that I made the whole thing up is unfounded.

I really hope to not have to do it again, but I guess it's good knowing there's a part of me that does this kinda shit before I have time to think about it.

>reproduce the bug / reduce randomness

In every app I do I abstract time and scheduling/threading away, to be able to run any domain logic in a deterministic and as fast as possible way (i.e. the clock jumps to next event/treatment time instead of having to wait for it).

It's such a bliss for testing and debugging (can run hours in seconds, turn on all logs safely, rule out threading issues by reproducing with a single thread, etc.), it's a shame it's not a built-in feature in most (any?) languages or their core libraries clock/scheduling APIs.

> So far, the entire concept if recycling plastic has been invented by Big Plastic to appease consumers that started being worried about it years ago. Plastic is barely being recycled right now because it's simply not economical despite government investment to make up for economical shortcomings.

This seems to be a popular myth, but the reality is a bit more complicated. In the EU around 40 percent of plastic waste is recycled (it tends to vary from year to year, sometimes it's a few percent more, sometimes less).

That is obviously not perfect. But it is also not nothing, and clearly does not support the idea that plastic is "barely being recycled".

The number is much lower in the US, but from that I wouldn't conclude that plastic recycling is "built on lies", but that the US needs better waste regulation.

Reducing plastic usage is generally a good goal, but it won't be reduced to zero, and we need better ways to handle the rest.

yes, my_dict.get() is my preferred solution too, if I can come up with a sensible default value or action. Otherwise, I do my_dict[key] without try/except. But I'm not sure if that's just a style preference or if there's a large performance difference in Python.
It's not changing goalposts. UBI as a "for-life" thing is something totally different than a "two year experiment". You cannot extrapolate data from a temporary experiment and assume it will work with unlimited situations. Noone will quit their job and leave for somewhere cheaper, if the money runs out in two years. If it doesn't, people will do that.

And it's not that "people are lazy and hardworkers are good", but it's unfair, that we should take the money from those who work and give it to those who don't. You don't have to work, it's your choice, I don't care, just don't take my money. (and yes, there are people who are eg. tetraplegic, and actually cannot work, and there should be social support systems for them... but for normal, able people, work, don't work, who cares, just don't leech of from those who do).
I think you misunderstand. "Mind-blowing" is not about the courage or skill it takes to work on them, and it's in relative terms. They didn't have contemporary safety standards back then, so I don't think the manufacturers were being completely feckless. All that had to be learned.

But today, would you build something that puts one side of an unpolarized plug onto finger-accessible screws and then give it to a neighbor?
> now you have to trust two things rather than one

No, you're still trusting one thing: the host itself. You're downloading both the script and the binary from the host. Both could be backdoored, and of the two, the binary is far easier to hide a backdoor in.

As for not trusting curl, you still need to fetch the resource somehow, so you're going to be trusting some tool to do it for you. That's not relevant to increasing the attack surface.

I suppose if you're coming from Python, you could use Rust (with PyO3) instead of C/C++/Cython in something similar to the Numpy/ML lower-level implementations.

But I wish there were a language that solved the two-languages problem (fast vs. easy to work with). I find Rust quite verbose.
