Since you didn't explicitly mention Ruby, I would dare to suggest Lazarus, which is Free and open source, multi platform and produces compiled native code everywhere.

That is the quickest and most straightforward way of making GUI applications I'm aware of, with the only drawback that it uses Object Pascal as supported language, but being it Open Source I can hope one day we'll see some support for other languages too.
Luckily, population growth is dampened by the housing market, modulo transportation technology. No natalist policy can change that, when young adults are living with their parents because they can’t afford housing, they are not going to make babies.

This is not education and wealth, or at least only indirectly as those are related to living in large crowded cities.

> The bank here had no complaints

Didn't they, one by one, stop doing business with him? That's pretty damning. Plus, his guilt was proven in a court of law. Does it matter that no bank took him to court before this? Look at the size of punishment - some $350M over the course of the lifetime of his company.

Could a bank have looked at the number and decided that going after Trump for an average amount of 5-10 million dollars every year wasn't worth it? It's just better to stop doing business with him. It isn't like Trump was stiffing them for a billion dollars a year.

> TDS having judge

NOW we are reaching banana republic status when regular people like us start doubting the trustworthiness of institutions like the court system with no evidence of corruption.

Wondering if you have the same concerns about the Delaware DA (Trump appointee) prosecuting Hunter Biden or Richard Hur (R lawyer) claiming Biden has poor memory and is easily confused. Are they suffering from BDS or are they just telling it like it is? And what makes you sure that either answer you choose will not be contested by someone else like you?

> You are basically trying to write a correctness proof before you actually have a good idea of what it is you are trying to build. I've done this plenty of times myself

This is where I think the commenter towards the top of this thread has it right:

> If your style is to hack hack hack until it’s right, yeah, types are challenging. If your style is to think first about types, you can also create guardrails in your code that naturally create the correct thing.

Your experience with static typing is that of someone whose personal style is to write code as an exploratory process while you're trying to figure out what to build, and from the sound of it you were trying to do that in something like Java before you switched to TypeScript. And I completely agree—that style is a terrible match for a Java-like type system.

But there are type systems besides TypeScript that are much more flexible than the kind that you're thinking of, and there are styles of software engineering that don't involve extensive prototyping as part of the development process. Those styles—typically slower and data-centric—combine really well with strong and flexible type systems (even something like modern Java with sealed interface goes a long way), and you're doing yourself a disservice by assuming that everyone who uses those styles is just wasting a lot of time.

Do jewish people have right of self determination in judea and samaria?

The international community does not recognize "Judea and Samaria" as a jurisdiction. So the question is moot.

Further, what you're getting at is a question of sovereignty -- which has nothing to do with religious belief or cultural identity, per se. Which makes the question doubly moot.

Advanced responsive grids with Tailwind – Morgan Feeney
The argument is that more people is better. The Earth carries 8 billion people today, headed toward 10-11 billion by 2100. Why are there so many people? Unintended pregnancies. Less unintended pregnancies (empowered women, family planning, etc) constrains the pipeline of aggregate suffering (because the evidence is clear we're not going to do anything about it current state; why would we presume something would be done future state?) and human impact (less people = reduced aggregate impact). Fertility rate is falling rapidly everywhere in the world, somewhat slower in Africa, but evidence indicates the decline is locked in.

Atmospheric CO2 budget busted, six out of nine planetary boundaries busted, hundreds of millions of people in extreme poverty, and climate change costs are going to be incredible (mitigation, migration and aid, etc). We Are Here. Someone advocating for more people for the goals TFA puts forth? They are either wildly selfish or wildly ignorant. When talking heads, politicians, or business leaders fret about a compressing population pyramid, they worry about labor costs, GDP, economic indicators, growth, and maintaining a status quo. They are worried that capitalism succeeded due to growth externalities and surplus labor. They don't care about the human, they care about the juice they've been squeezing. The US has constructed society as a human factory farm [1], for example. They don't value humans here today, and they want more?

The limitations on building infrastructure are artificially imposed by NIMBYs. We have the technological ability to quickly build large amounts of housing and other infrastructure and we used to do so before we let the NIMBYs grind everything to a halt over the past few decades.

Not only are cities in America not overcrowded, almost all of them are extremely low density sprawl. There is like 1 city in America with a respectable level of density. The average American city would be much nicer and much more livable if they quadrupled the number of people living there.
Thank you Natalie Eleanor for the global config UI. Linux is very powerful but it's biggest security fault is that users are expected to read the man page and not shoot themselves in the foot. Qubes OS itself makes that risk lesser because of the VM isolation and this is the right next step, to make it's configuration simpler and dummy proof. Users should never be one small mistake away from disaster.

More hardened templates, VM breakout detection and prevention and template integrity auditing with aide would be my top #3 wishlist items.

GDP was a good measure for a while (or reasonably good enough). This ceased to be the case in the last 10-15 years; and I think it can be said now that it has become completely useless.

There are the edge cases (heavily financed/resourced countries) like Ireland, Singapore, Qatar, etc... and then you have Western countries "manipulating" the numbers. For example, your rental payment goes into the GDP; even if you are not renting -__-. So if you are sitting on your ass doing nothing in your own home that because of the financial bubble is now worth $2.5 million and $10k of rent, you are adding $10k/month to the GDP of said country.

If you were serious about this line of argument you would be appalled by the massive waste of potential in today's population, so many wasted brains especially in the "third world", and you would be an advocate for global wealth redistribution, generous welfare, increased spending on education, better nutrition, reduction of pollution that affects health, etc.

The Network is the Computer (TM)
I don't think something like what happened due to COVID is related to that. That was a matter of poor logistics, not of scarcity of resources.

I believe the author is talking about things like "we need lots of mineral foobar to sustain us, and at our current population growth, we'll run out in five years!" ---> "oh neat, we can substitute mineral barbaz, plus a little cheap processing, and we have enough to last us thousands of years".

In this case, "resource" is defined more as "raw materials that we can feasibly and economically access". Being unable to meet demand for computer chips because your global supply chain suffered a shock isn't the same thing.

A concrete example of how we've overcome the possibility of a catastrophic resource shortage is advances in drilling and mining. Oil and natural gas reserves that were not feasible to pump out of the ground 50 years ago are now being harvested. The claims of "peak oil" turned out to be irrelevant; we have plenty, and as we "run low", we go after reserves that are harder to get to.

And this process continues: even if it weren't a good idea to stop burning oil and natgas for climate-change reasons, sure, eventually those wells will run dry, or harvesting will become so expensive that it no one would be able to afford to drive their cars or heat their homes anymore. So instead we develop and refine technologies (solar and wind farms, more and more efficient heat pumps, EVs, etc.) that change the game entirely. (Still waiting on Mr. Fusion, though.)

Ah, there's the rub.
I would not reccomend hackertyper.net.

Sometime around 2012 they were bought by someone who wanted to make some ad revenue off the site. In the process of transferring the site to the new owner, something was messed up with the code, and the C code is now double spaced (you'll see that there is a blank line between each line of code). The original HackerTyper was not like this.

If you see HackerTyper used in the wild, in short films and YouTube videos and the like, which it often is, you'll notice that around 2012 it started appearing as double spaced, which makes me sad every time I see it. The original site had no ads, and looked a lot more convincing.
One of the most beautiful parts of Japan is the mix between the old and the new. Japan maintained not just the physical parts of its root (buildings, objects, etc.) but also the human traditions and culture and social aspects.

It also preserves the bad parts, like xenophobia and racism and work culture. But it what make them unique and fascinating to an outsider.
I don't see how a famine due to bad policy is relavant here.
What strikes me about this recent wave of pro-natalism is how banal and devoid of serious argument it is.

Just to mention a few things, any ethical system of a mature civilization should have something to say about the entire biosphere, not just homo sapiens. The article doesn't lose a word on the fate of any other species on this planet, and I don't know how one can even have this discussion without recognizing that we're only one of the many inhabitants here. If you're going to propose an entire world view based on some superficial notion of self-interest you can justify anything.

For a worldview that leans so heavily into utilitarianism it's very odd to ignore most sentient life on earth. I invite the author to visit a large scale factory farm to see the "technological progress" in action that sustains 8 billion people and then to ponder how that squares with his own supposed standard for ethical progress.

Second point is this naive Steve Pinker-esque belief in "progress" to begin with. If you're going to argue that "more geniuses" and "more ethnic restaurants" constitute some deep and authentic moral progress for human civilization you have your work cut out for you, most people on the planet don't share that value system, and it's not obvious that anyone should buy into it without justification. It's almost naive to the point of being tautological, where "progress" is when more people do more things, and therefore having more progress is having more people.
My solution is to write the cose myself instead
> low density sprawl

Hypothetically more of these cities could start to build out subway, light rail, heavy rail networks; which would support higher density. But American cities don't seem to be capable of that. Maybe it's a lack of money, maybe a lack of political will, maybe it's American car culture. But it's irrelevant. It takes a really long time to build out that infrastructure, and in the meantime, the city has the infrastructure that it has, which is insufficient for keeping both housing costs and commuting times down.
Thanks for teaching me about lch()!

More geniuses — there are plenty of talented "brains" that simply never get a chance due to malnutrition, disease, lack of education and opportunity. We'd have far more of them if we could provide a higher minimum standard of living throughout the entire world.
Homos sapiens in span of few thousand years evolved from herbivores and became omnivores? Do you have a citation for this ? I did not think it would be possible in a short timeframe to make that kind of jump.

Changing Diets changing the gut is hardly in the same order of magnitude of time frame as evolving from herbivores to omnivores.
I think that's a fair and charitable reading, that maybe they've just overgeneralised a bit, or maybe just haven't chosen the exact mix of examples they "should" have.

The ideological lean, though it may have been completely innocent or accidental, stood out to me.
I think this 2019 article from the NY Times gives a reasonable introduction [1]. In short, the concern is that China is developing genetic databases as part of its state surveillance and repression of the Uighur people in Xinjiang. So the idea might be, for example, that if the Chinese state can obtain the DNA of a dissident they can identify family members to threaten or harass.

The research in question is directly related to finding and cataloging genetic markers that could be used in such a surveillance database. And with no way to credibly verify that the genetic samples were given with full consent, it seems probable that the studies themselves were part of this project to create an Orwellian surveillance state for certain minorities in China. Needless to say, western journals would prefer to not be accomplices to these human rights abuses, hence the retractions.

That's essentially what dependent typed languages do. But the stuff that happens at type checking level has to be known to terminate, so it isn't Turing complete. Without this restriction, it is possible to prove false things to the compiler by writing code that never returns.
If you go far enough back we all came from a super nova or the Big Bang .
Yep, maybe we should focus on fixing that first.

But I'm somewhat sympathetic to this argument. While there are certainly more people in absolute numbers living in poverty than there were 2000 years ago, the percentage of people in bad shape is probably lower. And many versions of "bad shape" today is probably still a lot better than the average at many points in history.

That leads to a philosophical argument, though: is it better to have more people, with a higher proportion that are happy and doing well, or to have fewer people, with a higher proportion that hare unhappy and doing poorly, if in the second case, the absolute number of people in bad shape is fewer? I think it's reasonable to disagree on which is better; there's no objective truth there.
> This is the same thing

It is strictly not. All money is borrowed. This seems like free/unlimited printing when the interest rate is 0%. But when the interest rate rises, this has real consequences and you can't print your way out of a 5.5% interest rate.

This is why US politics got heated about finance as of late. If inflation doesn't come down, the US will have to "print" that money. Essentially rendering the Fed to the likes of Pakistan, Turkey and Argentina.
Thanks for taking the time to answer this question and keeping the internet cool.
That's because we as humans like predictability. And hence, stock market rewards predictability. So, a large company's finance department allocates, say, travel budget, to all divisions based on their past year's travel spend +/- some margin. So, now, if you are division head, you are going to make sure your travel spend for the current period is at least as high as last cycle to ensure your travel budget for next cycle doesn't shrink. This means you may encourage your employees to use that travel budget by traveling even if such travel wasn't absolutely necessary. This happens all the time with all sorts of budgets in all sorts of organizations.
Look at all the people involved in machine manufacture, transport, mining, etc. for sure.

The point being made is that more and more tonnes of raw material are being shipped to smelters per person than ever before.

Automation is still advancing so this will only increase, automation is also advancing in processing and production - we no longer need vast numbers of people to produce a billion tonnes of steel, and the number currently required is still falling.

You might get a better response by providing an example of one such counter-intuitive argument that you find good.
The morning pledge was intentionally pushed during a time when it was considered people were insufficiently patriotic. To make it even more fascistic it used to be the Roman salute pre-WWII. The US is surprisingly Germanic.

I think the multitude of anthems are pushed by military funding to intentionally conflate patriotism with support for the military.

One thing I especially don’t like is the reflexive ‘thank you for your service’ that has entered into polite behavior. I believe that was an intentional and highly effective campaign. I personally refuse to do it even to be polite. I take the Smedly D Butlers view that ‘War is a racket’.

In the Android security model, this is not a capability that should have ever been provided to apps to begin with. It allows for apps to have almost free reign over the filesystem of other apps (read, write, modify), among other powerful capabilities. No flagship Android phones on the market allow this.

It would be like if the Facebook app on your iOS device could read all of the files of your banking app, or notes app. It's just not something that is enabled in any Android system claiming to have some level of security.
