> If we were at carrying capacity the idea would be ludicrous because you not working would result in one of us starving to death.

This is where it feels like your argument falls apart to me.

Suppose in 200 years the Earth is able to support a population of 10B humans, and has 10B humans occupying the earth. Suppose the labor to support those 10B humans is nearly entirely automated, such that we only need 100M people to work to reach the carrying capacity of earth.

You have an underlying assumption that each person's labor increases the carrying capacity of the overall population. That we're limited by the total production capacity of the human race, rather than the carrying capacity of the earth. And that was true in the past, but is less true in the present, and may become wildly disconnected in the future.

> Second of all, there has never been a paradise where resources are communally owned without clear limitations on the use and distribution of those resources, usually at the behest of corrupt, tyrannical or murderous leaders.

The article wasn't arguing that a paradise of communal resource sharing with out limitations has ever existed. It was arguing that property wasn't the limitation and that people had access to the basics they needed to survive. And there are many, many examples of societies that existed where resources were communally shared and every one had access to the things they needed. Many of which involved various methods of communal decision making as well.

This idea that humanity's state of nature is barbarous, brutal competition is an a historical myth that has been used to justify some of the worst abuses of the powerful.
> Maybe because most of the initial success was before Facebook bought Whatsapp.

I guess. But it doesn't really explain why it continues to be so popular, to the extent that even on forums like this (where well-grounded skepticism of big tech companies like Facebook is generally taken for granted) you have Europeans acting like Americans are backwards fools for not wanting to jump into bed with Facebook.
People are generally stuck in a shell they call reality, which are actually just stories they tell themselves to make some sense and rules people made up in the past that they grew up with. If UBI goes against some view you understand as reality, then of course you'll say "how dare they think of that". There is talk of property in the other comments here, and a funny thought here: not so long ago, it was entirely normal to own property in the form of other people. Now it's completely not normal because you can't actually own a human being as the reality is that we want all people to be created equal. But at the time, it was normal and if you would question that a slave owner would probably say "how dare you, I paid for these slaves, I own them". But then we reached a higher level as a civilization.

As far as UBI is concerned, I'm just sceptical that it will transform the system. More likely it will be just absorbed by the system, e.g. my rent will just get more expensive and I will not actually be able to work less. Not saying I think it can never work, but I am not sure.
From what I understand, the monotonic is only there to handle race cases within the same millisecond. How does this break the "universal" part?
At some point I wondered if flexport had bought hacker news or something like that to be seeing their ads so frequently.
True for the most part. It is arguable that brick oven or coal oven slices taste different and better. Also, 'premium' slices like Lucali’s might offer superior ingredients (particularly the cheese)
Meh. OK. Though almost always, "run tasks" implies some level of state. Are you tasks truly all idempotent and parallelizable? If not, maybe they should produce output and be tracked by dependencies? If so, then you probably have bugs in your "task runners" that will show up in weird ways.

It's absolutely true that ".PHONY" looks like a hack; it was sort of meant to. In general you shouldn't be using it, except maybe as a facade layer where you can put an "API" (c.f. the "all" or "clean" targets) on top of things that are themselves proper dependencies.

I'm not going to hold up make as the ultimate expression of a dependency-based build system. But I will say that history has a LONG trail of products that tried to replace it with decidedly mixed results. Categorical statements like yours tend to trigger my "code smell" layer, most of the time attempts to replace make produce worse results.

Out-of-towners are obsessed with the BEST, most obscure everything. It's one of the things I liked least about living in the city. Everything always felt like a competition about who knew the coolest places.

It's comical that someone would travel more than a few minutes within NYC just to try a slice of pizza. Like if it's a nice neapolitan pie, sure. But just for a standard NYC-style slice? That's a waste of time. All the places that typically top people's list, like Joe's Pizza, Prince St. Pizza, Bleecker St., etc., are all very mid. You can get an equally good slice as those big names in almost any neighborhood.
Social arrangements throughout history are indeed quite varied. Social arrangements in pre-history and especially pre-agricultural societies less so. Absence of agriculture puts a much lower limit on the size of social groups, usually around 50-150. Rates of violent death vary from ~12-25% (as in asking the question, "what percentage of people died naturally or at the hands of other human beings?"), across multiple continents. This is considerably higher than agricultural societies, and vastly larger than industrial societies.
As opposed to what setup exactly? What do you propose everyone uses instead of Lakehouses?
I know this is off topic, but having spent a significant amount of time convincing people around me to use signal, once they remove this feature, literally 100% of the non-tech folks I've gotten onto signal will drop it and move back to SMS. It makes me so sad.
> you better have something to give in exchange for that thing you want.

Peace. That's what poor people stop giving once they feel too poor compared to non-poor. No, this is not a value statement, but an objective observation about human nature. I do not expect anyone to like it (I do not like it), but not accepting it as a fact is... delusional might be a proper word?

After you accept that it is good for you to keep poor not too poor, you likely start wondering how to be efficient about keeping the poor not too poor, and afger that you end up somewhere very close to UBI.
After searching for a good Wireguard-based solution for VPNning into a Kubernetes cluster (and tinkering with a couple of them), this tool just worked. A simple `kubevpn connect` had me connecting to pods and services, while leaving internet traffic alone. Very impressive.
Open Core (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-core_model) has existed for a while and has definitely proven itself to be viable, albeit for a limited number of folks.

IMO the key to doing it right is ensuring that your hosted solution actually provides value: either because its difficult to operate at scale, there are certain regulatory/compliance requirements that need to be met, because certain features are restricted to a hosted product or under an enterprise license, etc.

I've seen a decent number of people create a hosted version of their product, slap SAML/SSO behind an "enterprise" plan, and wonder why nobody their successful OSS product doesn't translate to meaningful hosted revenue.
What would motivate people? I think healthcare, as in your example, would actually see an influx of people motivated to help others.
Not everyone is lazy and would do nothing. Plenty of people work in healthcare today for less money than they would get paid in other industries primarily because they value helping others.
This would be reasonable. Less reasonable to me is suggesting terms like masculine or feminine shouldn't be used as filter options.

The idea that no true monolith exists because you didn't write your own kernel is really strange and peculiar. No one has ever claimed that a monolith has 0 external dependencies.
I would suggest using password-based encryption rather than anything that forces auto-generated keys or what-have-you (like an SSH private key). Can't guarantee you'll always remember that password, but you'll have a fighting chance. And if instead you still insist on using some gibberishy key, more than likely you'll end up using PBE to keep track of it in some sort of repo anyhow, right?

In all seriousness, it's possible right now in most developed countries to live off of welfare long-term, without working a day in your life.

And yet, most people don't want to do it. You're looked down upon, poor and the lack of a regular occupation basically breeds mental health issues.

I think a lot of people really overestimate the economic motivators, while down-playing the social/internal ones.
Something I'd add to this list is the use of heat set threaded inserts when combined with 3D printing. Rather than create nut-shaped indentations or threading into plastic, you take a threaded insert, and heat it up with a soldering iron and push it down into the plastic.
1. The types of companies ESG funds can invest in (publicly traded companies) probably aren't very likely to blatantly violate any laws. There are significant repercussions for such behavior. With privately held companies, there's a lot more room to work in shady nonsense like we're discussing in part because there's so much less oversight.

2. I can at least point to plenty of evidence that this happens. Take this 2021 UC Berkeley Study [1] showing that job applicants with black-sounding names were significantly less likely to get called back than applicants with white-sounding names. What's the motivation there? Good ol' fashioned racism. Y'know, the exact motivation that prompted the laws in question to be written.

The reason there is an odd amount for dollar slice total is that one place had the nerve to charge me tax ($1.09). I concede that the quality at Joes has gone down over the years.

>property rights robbed individuals of a natural inheritance

There was no such magical right. You have more right to land than animals, or worms, or the soil itself? When someone uses the words 'natural' or 'fair' or 'just' it is to invoke some emotional response, but generally has zero solid justification free from contradiction and conflicts.

Mankind made up the concept of 'natural rights' which feels good, but does not scale to populations of billions, limited actual resources, etc. Me being born does not give me rights to anything other than that which society has agreed to. If society has agreed that I work to provide my own way, so be it - it's the price I pay for the benefits of society.

You were born with zero, you actually have zero. Claiming rights to 'natural things' (which, by the same argument, actually were someone else's before you laid claim to them) is simply asking for the value of others to be handed to you for free.

Yes, this can be a fine solution to slow queries and is used very often in many kinds of web applications.

However... 20k rows is not a very big number for a modern dB. If the db query is really the slow part then you should investigate why - ensure the relevant sql queries are written properly, and that the relevant tables are indexed properly for the queries that you are running on them.
Similarly, you could do the same thing on the other end of the state in Buffalo, NY. Hard to find a truly disappointing slice. What you will find, however, is a variety in "style" of pizza. They all live somewhere in the neighborhood of 80/20 NY/Chicago style. Easy to find a nice thin slice, but plenty of thicker doughier options. Never so far as a full deep-dish.
It sounds more and more like in the US (and, perhaps, in Canada too) people are being divided into essentially 2 categories: white and non-white. But to complicate things, people with identical ancestry and of identical skin color can be considered white or non-white based on the country of their birth.

I take your point. It wasn't intentional in terms of hiding the truth; it was intentional in terms of opening with something strong and not too nuanced. I had hoped getting into the nuance a couple paragraphs later would suffice, but given your comment I've updated the article with a hint of it up front.

And as I argue in the article, it's not essential that ALL your friends switch. Most of us deal with fragmented communication in one form or another (unfortunately). I'm probably 20% email, 40% iMessage / SMS, 30% Telegram, 10% a smattering of other things. It's not ideal but it is reality and, if nothing else, I think starting small is an effective switching strategy.

That's true. My reply was in the context of RCS being enabled, I guess.

Show HN: VSDoxyHighlighter – highlighting of Doxygen comments in Visual Studio
Visual Studio (not Code!) never provided built-in syntax highlighting of Doxygen commands in C/C++ comments. There used to be extensions for it in the past, but they are no longer maintained and are not available for the latest Visual Studio 2022. VSDoxyHighlighter fills the gap. It comes with two default color sets, one for dark and one for light VS themes. Highlighting can be enabled and disabled separately for “//”, “///”, “//!”, “/”, “/*” and “/!” comments.

Yeah I'm aware, but because that happens doesn't mean it's the most prosocial system we can implement. I think that you're probably doing good on net and I probably shouldn't have been so negative.

This isn't particularly desirable

I disagree. It's stressful and dangerous, to be sure, but monopolization of violence by larger entities is fundamentally totalitarian. If I'm outnumbered and outfought by you, I have other strategic options. Under a state, merely expressing opposition to the way things are can be a criminal offense.

How does UBI make things more sustainable? UBI doesn't do anything to reduce the human population or create more underground oil reserves. All UBI does is replace bullshit jobs with welfare payments.
Another scenario where an often missed and underrated choice would be C#.

Nowadays it runs everywhere and supports a variety of deployment targets (relying on local runtime, packaging it together into a single somewhat compact binary, natively compiling the code (NativeAOT, it's good but has some limitations) or mixing and matching all of the above).

It is also one of the best high-level languages to write performance-oriented code with, especially so with .NET 7 which allows writing cross-platform SIMD code in a similar fashion to Rust's 'portable-simd' crate.
It's the base framework where types like NSObject, NSString, NSDictionary etc. are defined. It's right there in the article. It also explains why it exists, what others exist, and what a rewrite will bring.
Great paper. Is that the fastest sort right now?
I was in a line once at WWDC in 2011. I happened to be in front of a group of Apple engineers. I overheard them discussing a rumored functional-ish language that Apple was to switch to from Obj-C. They didn't know what it was but they seemed skeptical that it would ever be put into real use. Glad to see it only took 11 years for it to permeate down to the Foundation framework. :)

> Cool, I had no idea you were able to peer inside my brain and tease out my inner thought process. Thank you for explaining to me that I didn't actually think the idea through and am just operating on what you classify as "ideology".

I don't need to peer inside your brain to understand your proposal makes things far more complicated for me, and there's no reason to drop classical gender as a classification except for ideological reasons.

> It's strange because I thought I just wanted to be able to find what I want. Like, if I want a blouse, I want to filter for blouses. If I want a t-shirt, I want to filter for that.

And if you pair this with dropping gender as a classification (the context of this thread), now you're expecting people to be very familiar with a lot of clothing jargon, so they can use that jargon as a proxy for gender. An even then, it breaks down. For instance: men's and women's t-shirts are typically not interchangeable.

It's also an idea that is over-optimized for a particular kind of online search, and breaks down for physical retail (in more than one way).

There's nothing wrong with adding the criteria you propose to a classification system that includes classical gender, and it would be a great improvement, but it's not a substitute for gender.
