> French employees are generelle low paid in cash. however, a big part of the compensation is through labor protection - something that is not worth a lot to a software developer.

If the public services were much better than everywhere else the high taxation system might hold up but they clearly aren't, I would not put France in the European top 10 at this metric.

France need either to make people feel they are actually paying for something or reduce the taxation level.
This is only an issue with plain numbers, however. If you'd have the number in an object or array, you'd detect the truncation just as well. Since using jsonl for a plain list of numbers is... overkill, I'd say it's not an issue.

On the other hand, requiring line terminators in the standard would inevitably lead to incompatibility issues. Most software would accept unterminated files, because text libraries do; and so some files will not be terminated. Some applications do not line-terminate files even on Linux (hello VSCode), and it would be even more problematic on Windows

Jail is always an option when someone is subject to contempt of court. In other states it's the individual teachers who get automatically fined, not the union. Contempt of court could also apply to the individuals if the judge wanted to make it so.
And with much fewer measuring stations back then, e.g. ships, satellites and weather balloons. With different technologies and precision.
One particular downside to using an actual array instead of something like JSON lines is that you can't really stream the data.

If you have so much data that you need to stream it, you probably shouldn't be using JSON, though...
> health emergencies

We have socialized health care, and even private care is like 1% the cost of american healthcare. I got elective surgery without insurance which included full anethesia in a private clinic and they were very sorry because the total would be 600 euros.

> retirement

Public retirement is ~50% of your average lifetime salary though the age was recently raised from 62 to 64 (in the face of massive protests).

> losing a job

Firing is harder to do in the first case, they have to have cause, or the company has to be facing bankruptcy, there's a long notice period. Unemployment is also a decent percentage of your salary and can go on for months.

Frankly on 60k a year, you live well even in a city like Paris, you're not living a life of luxury but that's comfortable upper middle class levels (in Paris).
I don’t know, when I damaged the keyfob from my 2009 Jaguar, I tried Flipper Zero, I tried more and more questionable devices from Aliexpress, but I couldn’t clone my own key from its chip (the buttons were not working, though).

Perhaps I would be luckier if the buttons were working (so the software could record the actual exchange), but I doubt it. Without the key at all, it would be impossible of course.

So at the end, I had to pay $1800 for the new keyfob and car reprogramming. What a waste.
It's pretty easy to prove there is pressure to stand, see Colin Kaepernick where not standing probably cost him his job.
The basis of your premise is correct. If people are sufficiently deprived, some non-trivial portion of them will become highly anti-social, often violent, often criminal, and otherwise just disruptive to society. Even if it’s entirely their own fault for ending up that way. But you’re missing a couple of things.

Firstly, if you reward people for failing, you’re incentivising more people to fail. So the problem isn’t that a poorly conceived welfare program wouldn’t manage the anti-social aspect of society properly, it’s that it would create more of it.

Secondly, the people in the middle who pay for everything have a choice about how to manage this problem. They can take the big social safety net approach like an idealised Scandinavian system. Or they can take the heavy handed law and order approach, like say Singapore or Saudi Arabia or even Japan, which are some of the safest places in the world.

So yes, managing depravation at the bottom has a benefit for society. But the threat of “give us money or we’ll just rob you all the time and otherwise ruin society as much as possible” isn’t specifically a good argument for the type of policy you’re advocating.
Ok but how do you track what those expenses were? From the point of view of your bank account you were just paying "shared expense". I want to know what it was, groceries, energy etc.
Indeed. The house holds most of the cards. But it's not risk-free per se. It's just a prisoners dilemma that hasn't had a chance to shift to the worst case scenario of "literally everyone leaves". Probably still a safe bet, but it's only as safe as the people they are gambling with.

Sad part is that it's bad but not necessarily "life or death" for many teachers as of now. But it may be that way if we keep going.

Only in as much as it would require the type checker to be able to express and operate on expressions constraining or combining types, not name every one. E.g. being able to recognise that in this:

if a < 2 then exit

.. afterward, "a" has a named numeric type fully covered by its previous type combined with the extra constraints of the check if that allows picking a more constrained type, and its real type is further constrained to the subset a>=2, and be able to reconcile that this means 'a' can't be 1.

In practice, yes, you can absolutely get into situations where this will mean you end up writing extra checks to prove to the compiler that a value can only be within the required subset if the type checker couldn't figure it out. How often will depend on how advanced your type checker is.

I don't know if you have fought like this, living in despair in the name of coding principles. If yes, good for you.

I'm American and I don't disagree that America has serious problems, but you should be leery of trying to compare your country with another country, especially if you haven't lived there and have only read about it.

I was a military wife for about two decades and had two children during that time and it cost next to nothing to spend two or three nights in the hospital to give birth and then all outpatient visits for me and my kids were completely free. I was friends for a time with a Canadian woman who used to openly hate on America and one of her criticisms was we have apparently a weirdly high percentage of citizens who have served in the military.

So I sometimes wonder how many American children get born while one of their parents is in service. And I spent years trying to figure out how to explain to other Americans what military life and military compensation is like and I eventually gave up. Civilian jobs have relatively high pay and few benefits. Military jobs have relatively low pay but high benefits and it's an apples to oranges comparison and I know when I was a military wife, anyone who wasn't making a career of it seemed to be trying to have all the kids they planned to ever have before leaving service because it's so cheap to have a kid while in service.

I desperately wish America would fix some of its problems. But I genuinely wonder just how bad it really is when I never see mention of details like that and when I have looked for data on just how many Americans get some portion of their medical care covered as military dependents for some portion of their life, I have been unable to turn up stats. So I don't know what to conclude, honestly.

But if I cannot figure it out as an American, my guess is your opinions amount to prejudice, not informed analysis. And although I know why so many people in the world have opinions about the US -- because the US is very influential, so it impacts them -- I don't run around telling other countries how to fix their social problems and it bugs me that so many foreigners feel they know what is best for us, often without ever having lived here.
> We have socialized health care, and even private care is like 1% the cost of american healthcare. I got elective surgery without insurance which included full anethesia in a private clinic and they were very sorry because the total would be 600 euros.

Socialized healthcare is pretty much a given in other similar countries in the EU though, it's the US which is an outlier.
Nature will die with 100% certainty. That is a verified fact due to the coming life-cycle changes of our sun. Nothing will survive that.

Only humans have a chance to save "nature" by bringing life along to the stars. Not sure if we will be able to pull it off, but I see no other option.
Let me design my personal nightmare scenario:

1. Conservative forces in the southern states continue to claim that the Federal Government is trying to change the voting dynamics by naturalising immigrants.

2. Some form of legal argument is made against the legality of the vote of naturalised citizens in state level.

3. Hawaiian nationalists, secretly backed by China adopt that.

4. Some form of secession movement in Hawaii is formed.

5. China recognises independent Hawaii.

6. The US cannot accept to loose its influence in that part of the Ocean.

7. War by proxy, on US soil.

This is all very unlikely, and would make a good plot for a Novel BUT:

Historically the US has a much weaker claim on Hawaii ( which was annexed agains the will of the population) than China on Taiwan and there is already friction with the native Hawaiian population e.g. by Zuckerberg circumventing traditional local inheritance laws to build his mansion.

> Deleting code that isn’t dead, it just doesn’t have a universally defined behavior, is the issue.

Can I delete "if (x & 3 == 16)" without a warning? There is no 'x' which makes that expression true, so I can safely fold it to false without a warning?

Can I delete "if (x + 1 < x)" without a warning? There is no signed 'x' which makes that expression true, so I can safely fold it to false without a warning?

How about this:

int x = 7;
call_function_outside_this_file();
if (x != 7) { /* dead */ }

Does deleting the code require a warning or no?

Or this:

void f(int *x, float *y) {
*x = 1;
*y = 2;
if (*x != 1) { /* dead */ }

A float cannot alias an int, so '*x' can not have changed. Warning or no?

The problem with UB is that you can use it to set up impossible situations, like create an 'x' where x & 3 == 16 is true or a variable whose address was never taken being modified through a pointer, and so on. If you account for UB then "code that doesn't have a universally defined behaviour" becomes all code.

Ideally I think the first two examples should have warnings, though not because we delete the code, and the last two shouldn't? The warning should be because it's a tautology so the human likely didn't mean to write that (for instance if the human wrote it indirectly through macros, then we shouldn't warn on it).
Yeah, it’s amusing that the author simultaneously claims that (a) it’s a “core OS capability”; (b) it’s a developer debugging capability gated behind so many hoops that it can’t be abused (which is of course nonsense because even though each connection needs to be approved, the app allegedly only clearing other apps’ cache could be doing any number of evil things after the approval). These are incompatible claims.

You can fundamentally disagree with the Android security and isolation model, but if you were okay with it before this update, then the arguments presented are just an incoherent mess.

Most devs agree that having "good" "clean" APIs is important. But will deeply disagree on what that means when designing an actual API.

Based on the current strikes, the main point is less about their current salary and more that they are technically taking pay hits due to Ubisoft not giving raises that keep up with inflation. They are effectively making less money now that they were in 2022.
We're going through serious strikes at the moment.

Right now, the junior doctors are striking.

Not sure what you mean by general population, but we had major riots about 10 years ago where some police stations got attacked.
Capacities of your specific chinese broken thermometer doesn't tell much about how scientists measured temperatures decades ago, does it.

And 2F spread ain't right, doctors use rather precise instruments that need some experience to be used correctly though, we have one at home too for kids since wife is a doctor (not a pediatrician but its manageable).
> You’re telling me that you can calculate temperatures from around the world pre-1950s and trust that it’s consistent and accurate?

Consistent and within an envelope of accuracy, sure.

Today we can even compare high resolution, many measurement point global tempreture distributions against what would be projected if we only had the same stations from the 1850s - 1950s.

Recall that pre GPS navigation was highly reliant on accurate time pieces which were highly reliant on accurate tempreture, humidity, air pressure readings. From the 1850s onward there are highly reliable records from scientific grade instruments at trading ports about the globe.
Nothing fuzzy: money is debt. Ultimately modern money originates from a ledger entry which denotes an asset and a liability (a deposit and a loan; which is the asset and which is the liability depends on your perspective).

State issued currency is exactly the same. The liability from the perspective of the state is that central bank issued money can be used to satisfy a tax liability.

I do have a sense of morality and know where I stand in terms of power dynamics.

These however exist and function, with or without my consent, and are less black and white than the weapons dealing metaphor. For example, a single mother in such an organization, if able to operate with influence, creates opportunities for her family and for her children’s futures. Nothing to do with the morality of arm dealing.
>I don't think rooftop solar is that simple:

Money is fungible and not unlimited - a dollar that goes to subsidize residential rooftop solar is a dollar that would go much, much further if it was used to subsidize utility grade solar or wind.

The original poster pointed out:

>...We would rather die and kill most of the biological world than face economic austerity, so we get what we order.

As I pointed out, it is worse than that - we often waste the small amounts of money we are willing to spend. If people know that rooftop solar is an inefficient use of people's money, but justify it because it can be a jobs program for roofers - that won't help convince tax payers that policy makers are committed to fighting climate change.
I think it's more likely it "just" had more colours, and possibly used a different graphics mode for parts of the screen. Lemmings strikes me as a game where the size and number both precludes using sprites for all of them, and where moving the Lemmings themselves shouldn't be computationally costly enough to be a problem.

Though the Amiga does allow changing the positioning of the screen over a larger bitmap, so e.g. panning the levels without much/any copying might have been an option? Doesn't require the copper, though.
In Poland you pay ~30% of your salary as income and social taxes.

If employed, woman has free access to public health system, with huge waiting lists, as you mentioned in your case.

When getting pregnant, woman can go into full paid sick leave untill the delivery day. And then there is a maternity leave paid in 80% for a year. And there there is possibility to get unpaid leave for up to 3 more years, while woman keep her employment and access to healthcare as working person.

And then you hear about wealthy western countries when at 4 months woman should either leave the job or the baby. Not surprising such wealthy countries getting old fast.
> the American government promoted numerous policies to lower mortgage lending standards

Again, where do you think these reforms come from, exactly? Grassroots movements? Where do you think the standards were before they were lowered and why were they initially higher? Do you think these ideas are voted into effect by individual citizens well informed on the facts of how it would affect the economy? Or based on advice by experts who did the same?

If corporations and private firms were so appalled by the government lowering the standards, they could've easily formed internal agreements to simply not lower their own standards or lobbied against it. But they didn't, did they?

Again and again, companies exert enormous effort to create and find loopholes and weaknesses in law, abandoning all ethics in the process and causing massive problems for society. And somehow this is blamed on government? It's ridiculous.

A cat and mouse game between legislation and reckless behavior is not a moral equilibrium where both sides are responsible for the outcome.

Sometimes an explanation aimed at children is the right explanation, and all the adults are just shifting the blame and hiding behind the status quo.

> dropped off oil well perforating guns at Yellow Freight

Holy fuck. We never shipped these using commercial couriers, but transported them using company trucks and company labor. We'd also have a heavily armed security person escorting them at all times.

For reference, these are long tubes containing many shaped charges. Sometimes you can have hundreds or thousands of shaped charges for a single perforation job. AFAIK, the oil field is the only industry that uses shaped charges outside of the military. Their primary application is piercing tank and ship armor. They kind of "implode" rather than "explode", and generate a sort of lightsaber-beam of superheated copper that lances straight through armor. In this video[0], blue is just a steel casing, yellow is the explosive, and red is the copper which pierces the target.

Not a good thing to "go missing".

> If they throw teachers in jail over not doing their job, the state loses in the long term.

British health workers (nurses, ambulance workers) went on strike during 2022 and 2023. Their union eventually accepted a 5% pay increase - down from their initial 19% demand - which doesn't even begin to cover inflation. Most demands fizzle out into nearly nothing and most unions are by now massive bureaucratic machines, staffed with people more focused on their own interests and careers than on those of their members.

The same pattern can be seen with nurses in Sweden. Salaries aren't high enough, funds aren't allocated, nurses quit their jobs. To find new hires, standards must be lowered.

"The state" no longer cares. That's what decline looks like.
