I use to know a guy with a giant collection of reggae albums. An exchange student from India thought it was wonderful then said something like: I don't want to shock you but reggae music comes from India, I know it sounds preposterous but it's the truth. He had some cassette tapes, played some songs, pointed his finger to the ceiling, listen! It was quite hilarious. Like learning about the amen break.
I did say "in" and not "for", and in the context of discussing a non-permissive license, I think it should be relatively clear about my statement being about incorporating the engine into other software and applications that you may not want to open source. This is why I said side or school projects, because you usually don't care about having to open source those. I did not mean to imply that no professionals use Supercollider to make music and sounds. And really, I was just wanting to point out that Csound can be embedded in several different ways, with a license that is permissive for such uses in proprietary systems.

It's great people are using Supercollider in other ways to make money! But it's obvious that the license doesn't extend to music recordings and performance.

All that being said, do you have any links or descriptions on how you use Supercollider (or any other system)? I'm curious to hear about anything you're able to share.
> add total deductions + employers NI together

Why would anyone do this? Employers NI is a business tax, why would consider that a tax paid by individuals?

If you’re gonna start attributing employer taxes to individuals, then why not start including business rates and other random taxes, then you can gin up any level tax burden you want.
I do not think these two facts are linked. I don't think the US economy is growing faster because they have a less regulated healthcare system.

If anything one would intuitively think the opposite should be true. That with a better safety net, entrepreneurship should be more common in Europe, while Americans should be more risk-averse. But I think in this case there is a HUGE cultural (and maybe even partly epigenetic) component that is always ignored.
UK for one from my experience.

> Dorm rooms aren't going to get individual laundry machines

When I lived on campus (in the Netherlands) every apartment (6-18 people) had at least one washing machine. These weren't provided by student housing, but there was at least one small room in every group that had all the plumbing needed for a washing machine. You'd go out and buy a cheap used one as a group and run it until it died. Same thing applied for everything in the group's shared space: refrigerators, freezer, gas stove, oven, microwave, TV. You'd have a gas hookup in the kitchen but the group itself was expected to provide the stove, just like in any normal apartment.
In which European cities PhD can afford to buy apartment (Paris? London? Berlin?).
Or you are speaking about smaller cities in which you can also make the same argument for US.
It's typical for these discussions that people assume marginal rates and never check the effective rates.
Is this open for people residing outside but willing to work in US timezones ?
There's only about 40,000 Scientologists. Vastly outnumbered by, like, quakers or unitarians.

But they do have mountains of money, and they don't want anyone to open up their e-meters, so of course they support this...miscavage of justice.
And on top of that people decided to start supporting Unicode everywhere, like in domain names, source code, filesystems, etc.

So now we can have poop and animal symbols in filenames.

And left-to-right overrides and countless homograph attacks.

It's just sad.
Support apps for digital cameras generally require location access since a feature that many customers want, is geotagging the photos. Only some camera models have a built-in GPS, while other models rely on the presence of a nearby smartphone to provide the coordinates for the photo. Apps are typically developed to support a whole range of models, so they need the location access to support the non-GPS-equipped models.
Ha! I believe it exists. :)

I probably should have said that the temperature in captivity isn't likely to be the same as that in Antarctica. I might be wrong, but I don't see them dropping the temperature to -70 degrees or whatever in captivity.
"I discovered" in the abstract is a bit misleading, they realized it by reading the existing literature.
I guess the value to the user is a notification when the wash completes?
In Spain healthcare is managed at regional level. My region is clearly ahead of the average in this regard (despite the amount of elderly people we have) and it's clearly not a breeze.

To the point that I use the private healthcare quite often.

Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for the public service, Hospitals are superb and it will allways be there in case of an emergency, but this is mostly a site of US readers and I think we're misleading here. Our public systems are not a walk in the park either.

I won't get bankrupt, that's for sure. But I have to pay pocket/insurance if I want to get something done quickly and I'm not like, dying or something.

This is not precisely a good approach for prevention care.
We did. As can be inferred from the title alone.
> The group only recently started interacting with local officials and residents, according to media reports, and had sued landowners who sold their land over what it deemed an “illegal price-fixing conspiracy”.

> “To date, our company has been quiet about our activities. This has, understandably, created interest, concern, and speculation. Now that we’re no longer limited by confidentiality, we are eager to begin a conversation about the future of Solano county,” the group writes.

> The group pledges a decades-long conversation with residents and officials for “a chance for a new community, good paying local jobs, solar farms, and open space”.

> The group has already sent out opinion polls to local residents to gauge their feelings on an initiative that could appear before county voters, according to SF Gate.

> California Forever said in a statement that the group had met with the county’s congressional and state legislative delegation this week and would soon meet with county officials and mayors.

So they secretively bought up a bunch of land and sued some folks, but want to “engage with the local community” (via polling and through the interface of elected officials) and want to start a conversation about how the locals can work for them?

If you want to join a community, you can just, like, go join it. This seems more like an invasion of aliens from Planet Rich. Look out, soon enough they’ll work out how to fully emulate human behavior.

Nice renders though, look almost vaguely solarpunk inspired.
I’ve lived in Austria and Germany and had the misfortune of needing medical care multiple times in both in the almost 20 years I’ve spent in them so far- I’ve never had to wait long or pay much (most of the time pay nothing). I got good care, even though many doctors and nurses seem to have not hears of the concept of bedside manners.

Sort of like p-hacking: If you choose small colonies, all located in a small area known for instable ice conditions, in some years, those colonies have problems. The ice in that area is subject to severe weather conditions, and in some years it breaks up and floats away.

Those problems didn't apply to the rest of Antarctica, but by omitting that information, the article makes good clickbait...
In most European countries you'd have to earn far above average to approach that. Have a look at the tables in OECD's Taxing Wages publications. Having earned far above average in several European countries, I've never paid more than half, despite for part of the time earning 5x+ the national average.

That's not to say you can't. Some certainly do. And some countries are much higher. Belgium in the very significant outlier, with Germany not far behind.
You take "burn it down" as hyperbolic statement and "surveil it all" as face value.

You understand the reasonable ground of "burning it down" others dont. Id prefer better goal formulation with less demagogy.
There are student loans in the EU, because subsidizing universities doesn't extend to providing free food and housing for students. E.g. student loans offered by a German state-owned bank: https://www.kfw.de/inlandsfoerderung/Privatpersonen/Studiere...

(Though I don't think many people need it, because most can just get a part-time job and finish in double the time, debt-free.)
That's much later than the initial Emoji assignments, and pretty expectable given much broad reach of availability. The earliest UTC decision regarding Emoji is [1] AFAIK.

I didn't read the paper yet. But it looks very different from how an "opinion piece" typically looks.

I also didn't look at the bios of the authors, so you may yet be right. On the other hand, we see opinions (both deliberately scary, as well as some more balanced) from the "pro-vaxx" side of argument, so seems like a fair game.

There's no particular reason to prefer more medication over less, so long as we are always keeping both individual and societal health in mind.

The articles you link are interesting, but they both miss the mark (at least for me). The AVN one works, but only if you are open to concern about the COVID vaccine being a subset of the wider anti-vaxx narrative. I'm sure there's an overlap, but COVID vaccine scepticism and avoidance is increasingly being seen as quite a balanced and reasonable position. Generalising the opinion as anti-vaxx is more likely to reinforce it. The AAP piece simply talks past the figures that the broad-mandate-opposing "side" would cite. (Which is fine, because their target is quite obviously those that might waver, but still take a pro-vaxx position. But it won't settle informed debates.)
A parent can unlock a scooter for their underage kid if they don’t unlock one for themselves.
The average earner in Sweden pays <25% combined in tax + social insurance fee according to OECD Taxing Wages.
Many artworks and installations, which I would count as "commercial instances".
In French and (potentially other languages), I can add another criticism on top of the paper, some the words used in the dictionary are so obscure that a native speaker would not know them. They probably generated them randomly from a dictionary instead of asking native speakers.

The whole project has then no real purpose if you have to spell unknown words.
I don't have a phone, I don't live as a nomad in the wilderness. Well, in London, which is a bit of a wilderness.
People were creative back then too. Most of it just wasn't captured other than orally and we have lost the vast, vast majority of that.

It takes 200 years for a city to organically grow into an interesting and vibrant place. Can this process be sped up? Perhaps. But then the city itself would be in constant development. Construction everywhere, loud trucks hauling materials. Vacant buildings getting torn down without apology. This is what building a new city at speed looks like. Total chaos. Not bad, but chaos. It doesn't look anything like the concept art of idyllic European streets with cafes and kids biking by themselves.
I didn’t see an email in your profile and I wanted to ask you some questions if you’re open to it. Whats the best way to reach you?
‘A first in Paris’: city fumigates for tiger mosquitoes as tropical pests spread
Thank you so much for this link. This article is so much more informative than the article of the title of this thread, which does, in my opinion, more harm than good to the pro-climate change crowd with its misleading catastrophizing.
You missed the classic, "I did this back in the 90s using x and it was more powerful and sane compared to any of this new malarkey"
Yes, we can imagine this or that, but we don't find it from the article.

Of course there is also the issue that no information about Antarctica can be confirmed by citizen journalists as the whole world (US, UK, Russia, China, etc) all agreed to preserve this continent and Antarctica can never even be felt explored by the public. Anyway, Antarctic information is certainly mediated for us.
The most convincing use case (for plus codes, not w3w but same logic) I've seen is that it can be used instead of an address in slums and similar places where addresses aren't available/practical

The problem is that it's useless without a phone but if you have access to a phone then a gps location is better, unless you have to remember it or put it in by hand
If (have location) then geotag

It’s not rocket science.
One thing worth mentioning for EU’s IT industry is that there are large sectors like government which need IT services but can only work with contractors as hiring is not legally possible or extremely tedious. This means contractors get access to a larger market.
> people who are in top of their fields almost never stay in Europe (especially if they are young)

> I know US folks love to be angry about their country, but they are in best position for making decent living

These are two different things. The disparity of wealth between the top and the bottom, indeed between the top and everyone else, is greater than in the other wealthy countries.

For decades, income in the US has been stagnant except at the top. And when the salaries of the masses finally start to rise due to demand for labor, the Federal Reserve decides that is the Worst Thing Ever and intentionally provokes a recession.

> EU system is good if you are making money not from work but from wealth

Every system is good if you are making money not from work but from wealth.
You can use them in any place where you want to return a bunch of values, but not necessarily all in one go. This goes for bytes in a Uint8Array, points you want to draw in canvas, DOM elements you are selecting or generating on the fy, data objects you've downloaded from somewhere, etc.

The advantage of generators over arrays is that you don't have to allocate a large array, so you can handle large numbers of elements while keeping a lower memory footprint.

They can also hide batching/chunking logic. You could have code that repeatedly downloads of separate JSON files with 200, or 500, or 5000 elements at a time, then return a generator that goes through each element at a time. The consuming code will be none the wiser.
So what happened 13 years ago?

What happened in 2014? What months are the images from? Why 2014 and not 2009/2010? Why not a widget handling 20 years?

What is an actual solution? What would be be proposing if we just so happened to reach our peak humanity in the midst of a natural change in climate?

What part of Antarctica had 'not a single' survivor?

The idea that presenting information in the harshest way possible is somehow beneficial has obvious problems. Be honest in your analysis or you will push people away. Given the listing of plausible remedies, one has to write for all audiences.

Super interesting to find out that you're a fellow Catholic! It's sometimes hard to bring up faith in IT spaces, I feel like most of my colleagues are athiest or agnostic. I always feel good when I see people mention God, as it reminds me that being God fearing and in IT is not mutually exclusive.

Aside from that, awesome article and it was great to read your story. I am, like you, uncomfortable with unemployment, but I'm happy to see it can be done!
Having lived in super high density for 25+ years, this is really not true. Sounds like you don't have a lot of personal experience with that. Yes, "cars" are noisy and are a part of the noisescape in dense cities, but it's much worse to deal with public transportation (buses), dogs, people getting back home at night, workouts, remodeling, loud music, airplanes (high density areas often have at least one nearby airport), people fighting, sports celebration etc etc.

I live in car-ridden Suburbia now. When my relatives from the dense city visit, they are blown away by the silence.

Maybe things are different in Japan, but everything is different in Japan.

Charge your power bank from the questionable USB, then charge your phone from the power bank. If your power bank supports pass-through charging you could do that, but some chipsets are actually USB hubs and don’t provide isolation.
Having worked on Neom, I can tell you that Neom is fractally insane. The approval process for headline projects at Neom is: have idea; produce cyberpunk-themed renders; show to Crown Prince; receive approval. (MBS loves cyberpunk.) There was one day where the target population for the city just doubled with no real feasibility analysis.

California Forever (awful name) seems to just be fairly normal planned city so far.
Even when considering total tax wedge, which is not what most people consider "their" tax (note total deductions from your contracted salary is 38% at 120k salary; the total cost to your employer is ~136k because of the employer contributions), only a tiny minority pays that much. E.g. 120k places you in top 2% or thereabout.

The average UK salary is <35k GBP. At that level total deductions are 20%, and your employer pays 10% employer NI.

A similar thing happened in Korea, to enter establishment there was a requirement to scan the business QR code then collect name and phone number on a government portal before entering, however the vast majority of people travel in Korea are assigned a sim with no number attached, so a lot of forigners just couldn't go out. To be fair, you couldn't enter the country for tourism at the time, but you could for business- so meetings at restaurants became a real challenge.

It doesn’t take much effort to remain relatively safe on the internet so you don’t have to resort to dedicated hardware just for banking. Don’t install sketchy apps that you don’t need and stop clicking on every link that you see – that’s pretty much it. I found that this basic internet hygiene has a nice side benefit as well – it forms a habit of avoiding superfluous and/or crappy content altogether.
They do happen with threads indeed, but it's a lot easier to manage and the code is straightforward. You can essentially tie your resources to your threads, and your threadpool's size becomes your resources' allocation limit. In fact one common strategy is to use thread local storage to cache certain resources like RNG or regex statemachines/parsers, and you have essentially a guarantee that you'll be fine(ofc as long as the code doesn't launch threads left and right).

Again, I'm not saying that you can't manage this with coroutines, but it is harder, and I've seen this problem pop up in very different contexts/languages(Kotlin/Java, Rust, Haskell) whenever coroutines are used. Large churn or an unexpected bottleneck(e.g. network saturated or disrupted) causing blowup of suspended coroutines that in turn leak resources without applying proper backpressure. When this happens coroutines tend to be harder to debug as well.

Plain threads work for disk IO, network IO, memory usage etc etc, and the resource allocations also compose well. E.g. classic flipped order resource alloc: coroutine 1 allocates bounded resource A, then tries to allocate B and yields. Coroutine 2 allocates B, then tries to allocate A, bam, deadlock once A's resource pool is depleted. Essentially suspended coroutines have hidden dependency edges on one another through resources. With threads, the thread pool size aligns precisely with the resource pool size, under high churn it will be the resource's actual slowness that blocks the pool temporarily, but there's no way to deadlock on resource allocations.
So you have two different pronunciations [hat] and [hat]. Which one is which? Do you really expect to say "[hat] as in General American hot" and "[hat] as in Received Pronunciation hat" every time? Isn't the IPA supposed to be an unambiguous transcription (so to say)?
Check OECD Taxing Wages before you throw out unfounded accusations of lying, and you can see for yourself what average earners and people earning 167% pay in the OECD countries. While that does not cover all of Europe, it covers the bulk of the European population.
I don't think economics as such has really any trouble explaining and even seeing potential financial crises.

I would even go so far as to say economics also explains quite well why usually nothing substantial is done to prevent them.
You dont need abstract math to research collectivism, in fact you shouldnt since you will consistently fail to factor properly the most important part - human nature. Just look at communism and its utter failures in ie eastern europe when it was enslaved by soviet russia union during cold war.

Nobody wanted willingly to give up their fields and farms, so fathers we re forced to sign contracts at gunpoint. Stories like these are not that rare, I knoe personally few whose granddads lost it all to aparatchiks.

Anyway, it was an utter failure, as communism is. Central planning doesnt work, farmers with intimate knowledge of their fields and crops were much more effective and motivated than then some random workers who tought mainly about themselves and stealing common property rather some common good.

Corruption, selfishness, laziness are things that collapse any similar pipe dream society, or make it at least very ineffective.
