Universal income is a dumb idea. If you have money to give away then give it to those who are struggling for example, single mothers, families with low income, those with disabilities, those who cannot afford education and got stuck in minimum wage job. No need to pay money to young healthy men and women who will spend them on alcohol, online games or dresses.
It’s especially nice because now every instance has to carry around every copy of every method, type testing is impossible, and if you’re lucky you’re even making every callsite megamorphic and defeating all those pesky optimisations we all hate.

The individual pods look amazing. The traditional style is good for getting to know people and what not, but this is the way it should be.
>Marriage is not a magical thing that creates good family structures, and parents can be deadbeat parents even within a marriage. It might give people motivation to stick around, but families that "stick together for the children" can have A) abuse, and B) the same sort of economic problems as unmarried if one or both parents aren't working. What does enable good family structures is support, provided by extended family or other things.

We're talking about on average though. Those things might happen, but only in a very small number of cases, and on average forcing a marriage to "work" might still be better.

I agree, mostly. However the vegetarianism aspect is more nuanced IMHO. In my experience, seeing animal being killed is not enough, it needs to be combined with some kind of affection to the animal by giving it a personality. For example I feel uneasy since I watched cows showing curiosity towards objects and be playful like dogs. Also a friend of mine who used to live in a farm says that the cows can tell that they are going to be slaughtered and start acting differently.

I’m not a vegan or vegetarian but I’m looking forward for lab produced meet where no cows are involved.
Do you mean the children of Black parents? If that's really the case, I see no problem of cancellation here as it would further accentuate the point of systematic disadvantages of people of color.
The system of marriage in the United States was built around social and economic assumptions that largely don't hold anymore.
How did the ancient city deal with sewage and waste?
The math for a 1 bedroom condo in the 20 min from downtown (not that it's relevant to my lifestyle) works out to about $5k a month if I had a clean income history and a 20% downpayment. It's just not an amount I could see my partner and I being able to absorb, nor would it be worth it if we could. It's unfortunate, because we've lived in our already relatively expensive studio basement suite for 4 years. Shit is cray out there.
I had no reply button only later. Sometimes HN is Strange so I edited it.

No they wouldn't. Ferraris are impractical, expensive to fuel, unreliable, can't be used on poor roads, hard to get into, have no luggage space, only hold two people, et cetera. Their main appeal is that they signal status. And if they were cheap, they don't do that.

EVs had similar drawbacks: range anxiety, et cetera. It was not a given that people would buy them even if they were cheaper.

Now we know they will, and get a glimpse of society in a world where EV's are cheaper than gasoline cars.

Evidently so are you. Care to clarify?
Even that $500,000 would be a steal in most markets in canada. The average house price is about 780,000 across the country and $900,000 in Ontario the most populous province.

If houses were just 500,000 and there were jobs in those areas I think we WOULD see more entrepreneurs because that was pretty much the conditions 10 years ago that TFA mentioned
And now that I think of it I think the really orthodox way to do it was to write your whole program in TCL, then profile it and if you needed performance improvements use C to implement some of your more expensive blocks. The TCL library for C let you compile a shared library that the TCL interpreter would load and add the functions you wrote in C as new commands to the language.
A good first step would be to first remove economic disincentives such as tax penalties and reductions in benefits.

From the article:

> In the U.S., she says, unmarried adults who decide to live together do it for a much shorter duration than in Europe. Children in many of these households are more likely to experience two or three parental partnerships by age 15.

Its a stability thing.
But they seem to translate a quote that posits someone would be altruistic to create a monetary system without enriching themselves, to "bitcoin is an altruistic system" and then shoot down that statement rather than what the quote is saying.
Or.. remove benefits.
I do. What I like the most is the ability to include the diagram source into PNG metadata. The viewers don't need any renderer, yet it can be readily edited.
No it isn't. You can try compiling from source and running it yourself: https://git.j3s.sh/j3s.sh/tree/c4517e8484a68c734d2f17c17c546...
All computers are NAS if you stick S on them and A them to an N, the Raspberry pi is no different, but it's got a great advantage in that it's small and relatively power efficient. I turned a Dell Optiplex USFF into a NAS (https://willj.net/posts/fitting-two-hard-drives-and-an-ssd-i...) but in the same space I could easily fit 4+1 disks instead of the 2+1 if I was using a far smaller motherboard.

As for being underpowered, again it depends what you are doing with them. For my NAS (basically long-term storage of stuff I don't access much and tiemmachine backups) there would be plenty of CPU, the biggest problem would be memory.

*edit* Just to be clear, the Pi has some massive drawbacks as a NAS at present because of it's significant lack of disk IO, but there's nothing inherent in it's form factor that makes it a bad NAS. If I could have plugged 2+ HDs into one in a performant way I'd likely have done that rather than the Dell Optiplex shenanigans.
I would like to understand how that relates to the method of entry of illegal immigrants into Canada.

Let's remember the root claim that is being disputed:

> How do you expect illegal immigrants to get to Canada when they only border US?
I don't know.. before the tech boom that redefined basic meanings, entrepreneurs were known as folks who were otherwise unemployable. So yes some people start companies because they have a blinding ambition but others do so out of necessity.
I’m not sure everything stems from this. Marriage was not just for the wealthy and nobles in the Middle Ages, or in the 1800s or in subsaharan Africa, etc.

If it’s a matter of relative wealth disparity, there have been plenty of eras (probably the majority of recorded human history) in which the kings and nobles had a similar wealth gap to their poorest married subjects as we see today between the 1% and the 99%.

I’m not defending wealth disparity; simply suggesting there’s likely another cause for the marriage-rate collapse.
And you're so afraid of being canceled that you put your thinly veiled racism behind a throwaway account.
Remember when you were 18 and walked into college and your first thought was "I wonder what JDs mandate this degree"?
I don't understand the importance of this distinction. People invest in currencies all the time.
I've only ever been involved in something close to that "tech debt default" in my career. All other cases of throwing something out were either planned to begin with (so intentionally a throwaway prototype, not tech debt), or just giving up on the product (tech debt included, but who cares at that point).

(the case I was in was the game Commandos. We completely threw away all source code for the sequel, which we wrote from scratch with different architecture, tech and even somewhat different coding standards. Getting rid of the tech debt that Commandos accumulated over the yearlong deathmarch was nice, but without the completely different architecture needs I doubt it would have happened)
Bitcoin is more damaging to surveillance than helpful. Cash is being phased every year.

The $10,000 limit in the USA was established in 1970, I guarantee it won’t be adjusted for inflation.
I find it ridiculous that healthcare is the greatest driver of cost of living but no one does anything about it. Doctors and nurses are overworked too. It’s the biggest scam going right now and all the politicians are in on it.
Pi has superior long term support and even better community support. Loads of options for upgrades and extensions should you need one in the future. Also once i decide that i don't need that NAS anymore, because the pi would be obsolete or slow in the future, i can just take that pi out and use it for some other DIY project.

nice excuse for not being able to maintain relationships. Going by your logic, maintaining one in poorer countries should be impossible
Maybe it will be rebuilt around the belief that it's a better environment for child rearing.
I'm glad you mentioned the panels come back on mouse over.

I unchecked one and it disappeared, but I had no idea how to show it again.

I'm used to panels shrinking to a down caret or chevron (i.e. ^, >).
> Everything stems from this.

Almost everything.

One issue is that although most Western countries have Paid Parental Leave (except for US) pregnancy still puts women at a career disadvantage. Because companies can sometimes find out that either (a) the person's role was unnecessary or (b) their replacement is better.

And so especially for women in senior positions it's just not worth the risk.

Another is around the cost and availability of child care. Current global shortage is a real issue.
"If you can't measure it, you can't manage it" is absolutely terrible leadership advice. Or to phrase it another way, if you could magically transport yourself to work on any team in history, which would be and why? And how did those teams run? How did the leadership function? How did the team think of its own performance? In this regard, I feel history is a much better guide than middle management claptrap admonishing us to all kneel before the false god of Measure Everything.
Traditionally they'd be called "elevator operator" or "doorman" or some equally mundane/superfluous job.
> Then what is the proposed solution? Pointing out the problem is the easy part.

This is not a position paper. This paper is a finding of fact.

Demanding that they must advocate something is an anathema to proper science.

And, saying that "pointing out the problem is the easy part" indicates to me you're not in the sciences. It's laughable, even.
Funny you mention that. I have four siblings, raised together in a (mostly) traditional family, and all five of us have children now. The only one who is not married is my schizophrenic sister.

However, my late aunt was schizophrenic and stayed married for her entire adult life, so who knows.
No, you don’t need to assign yourself to some particular group to have an opinion.
Vaguely remember the Hulk shaving kit. If I ever had a son, he would totes be receiving one like immediately for the bath aha
I wouldn't mind paying for youtube if I wasn't already paying for it because they are stealing my data.
Love that book. Particularly the fact that the method-to-function mapping doesn't have to be one-to-one. You can always implement multiple methods in a single function (and for prototyping with closures this is usually a good idea).
Everything does not stem from wealth inequality. Almost-everything wrong in US culture stems from selfishness. Which would include things you talked about. But it also includes people making selfish choices that bring about the end of their marriages (affairs, career, addictions).
I remember the first time I saw a declarative language, I also immediately saw it as an AST. It’s so validating to see it being explored by other people too.
I avoid classes, but 'this' is not too horrible if you deconstruct the objects/methods/variables you need from it. 'const {foo, baz}=this;'
A great idea in theory but once there’s a distinction it opens an opportunity for politicians to endlessly fight over who gets it.

You also get the instinct to “parent” the poor and limit what they can buy.

Giving it to everyone isn’t the best idea but it’s the best way to keep politicians out of the kitchen.

(And I say this as someone who’s against the idea. But I do think the “universal” is the best idea within a bad idea.)
For all that work you did you could have used some imagination and thought about projects like Starlink + space mining.

USB boot without SD card has been possible since the 3 at least, I'd assume this is the same. Entire OS on one disk.
Yep, this is the majority of my experience, and clawing a way back from that sustainably has been a fairly large part of my consulting/contracting career over the years.
You don't need to use O(n^3) Gaussian elimination to find natural cubic splines: you can write the system of equations as a tridiagonal matrix, which can be solved in linear time.

Yes, mods can configure automod to automate certain moderation tasks.
Abolish the entire program until every US College Graduate is hired. Indians have flooded the system with cheap labor and poor quality. Employers have taken advantage of this and American students and workers have suffered.
Except that classes are more memory efficient and better optimized in the VM.

This will package a copy of the functions with every instance you make, the class variant will only create member variables for each instance.

Maybe save a few bytes down the wire with a different developer experience for fundamentally more bloated code.
It's a policy for us, and therefore an expectation, not a request. We also make sure that this isn't a surprise: everyone comes in knowing that we do this (and indeed, many new additions to the team have taken advantage of this by listening to past meetings to come up to speed).

Average house price in Toronto $1.3 million.

Average SW developer salary 95,000

I would say yes.... this is very unaffordable.

The current mortgage on a house of that price is around $8,500 per month
I strongly agree with this. It’s unbelievable to me that no media outlet can reach this conclusion.
Funny thing is that a lot of developers like that JavaScript received class support, and makes it easier to write oop.
Many people dient understand 'this' in JavaScript, and ways are created to reduce the usage of 'this'.
And now people are switching from classes, a feature many want before and complained it was not in JavaScript.
I think we always have to accept the language how it is, and dont find weird ways to do things the language is not made for. (like e.g. typescript)
> As in it is supposed to be made up and readers are aware of that.

Good historical fiction goes deeper than good, sourced, "factual" history. Proper history depends on written records; but those records were made exclusively by people who are literate (obviously), which for most of history was a tiny minority.

A lot of historical fiction is indeed made-up stuff, based on a conventional version of history, telling tales we all (think we) know. The good stuff is made-up too, of course; but it's heavily researched, and informative. I'm thinking of stuff like Ken Follet's The Pillars of the Earth.
Yes, I use this technique and I’m glad you found it too. Also note you can put public get and set functions in the return object if you allow for a little munging.
On a slightly related note, why is it that one gets lynched on twitter nowadays any time one brings up that "correlation doesn't imply causation"?
Only STUN - Sheer Total Utter Neglect (Mark Shepard); although i will try to ask the agricultural department at the local state university if they know of any. There is an experimental USDA forest about 20 minutes from my house (which contains a redwood which grew from a seed that went to space!), so someone out here is as interested as i am in growing things in this forest without pesticide application.

I agree that UBI is silly and that we should just give it to those who need it most. I also think we should just stop collecting income and income related taxes on the poorest X%. For example: if you are below the poverty line (or some multiple), you just don't have to pay income tax or into social security (but still get credit for it), etc.

That said, I don't understand you very judgmental take about people wasting money on things you don't approve of. I hardly think buying clothes has a large moral imperative but even if someone does want to buy alcohol with their own money, I don't see how that is any of your concern. Also, just because people are "young and healthy" doesn't mean they aren't disadvantaged and need support.
By only listing three examples, I am suspect that you do understand the definition of genocide.

There have been many, many more than three genocides in modern times. Since the Armenian Genocide qualifies as modern, anything post 1913 or so qualifies - that’s a minimum of 33 Genocides [0]. The Political Instability Task Force estimated that 43 genocides occurred between 1956 and 2016, resulting in about 50 million deaths (probably using a more flexible definition of genocide) [1].

There are at least three ongoing genocides right now: Rohingya, Uyghur, and Darfur. Toss on Ukraine onto that list (forcibly transferring children of the group to another group is genocidal, and they have been doing that). Azerbaijan genocide of Armenians is also happening though it hasn’t been as broadly confirmed yet.

But many people argue the Genocide Convention has too narrow of a definition, and excludes things like the Yemen civil war, the conflict in Palestine / Israel. A review of the ten steps of genocide by Genocide Watch finds 6/10 steps are being followed [2].

“Imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group”, such as denying entry of food, is a qualifier of genocide under the Genocide Convention. The current level of food imports into Gaza is low enough that this is arguably a true accusation. It doesn’t matter if Israel does this unilaterally or alongside Egypt, it’s still collective punishment and a war crime, and probably genocidal.

Apologies for Wikipedia links, but I saw three modern genocides and immediately knew that was wildly off. Better sources exist but these are sufficient to show much higher than three have occurred.

Units of mass used: gigaelectronvolts (implicitly times c²), solar masses

Units of length used: centimetres, megaparsecs

When measuring the whole universe it's hard to pick a scale. Anyway astrophysicists are the worst for this. The rest of science is happy with SI(, or sometimes naturalized units when you're doing theory and dealing with integer qualities and numbers that you don't care about). But in astrophysics brightness is measured on a scale set by one of the Ptolemys looking at stars and literally eyeballing it. They'll measure mass in terms of energy, energy in "ergs" and do some godawful mix of imperial, metric and miscellaneous that makes electric charge something comparable to square root of energy times length.
I suspect there are other complicating factors in western cultures that may but additional stress on relationships, including blaming yourself instead of the environment for your situation.
