no, most important factors are wealth(lack of it), cheap housing in ok areas that can accommodate 1-2 children (lack of it, good social security (parental leave(adapted just recently to be better), free/cheap healthcare for mothers during pregnancy + for children, etc...) and proper infrastructure (walkable neighborhoods, play fields, cheap childcare, etc...).

Some say that it's not possible and it's just what happens in developed nations, but if you look closely to the stats, you'll find out that for eg. in sweeden, the birthrates increase to >=2 when families reach certain income lvl.

Others say that we must become poor again to increase brates, but I don't think it's that simple, if we look closely at different countries, basically brates are high when having more children increases the wealth/quality of life (v poor countries) or where having more children doesn't impact current lifestyle that much (if you have money you can afford nannies/childcare/school/bigger apt). Where it drops is when ppl achieved some lvl of wealth/good qol but it will be heavily impacted by having a child, aka the middle class.

I really want to make a tiny pond at my house, but I'm afraid of the mosquitoes.

My native plant supplier encouraged tiny ponds, saying that while you may need mosquito dunks to kill the larva at first, once wildlife is established in your pond e.g. dragonflies will control the mosquitos just fine. I believe him (or at least that it worked for him), but I feel like I would need to do more research before putting it to the test.
Assumptions is also one of the reasons for a long-lasting trend towards reducing the information on passports where it risks misleading. E.g. my first passport had hair colour and eye colour, and a colour photo. The hair colour and eye colour was removed because it was increasingly just confusing and unreliable, and the photo is now black and white. I'd expect gender/sex to eventually be emphasised or removed too, for the same reason - it's not particularly helpful as a means of ID'ing you unless you do a medical examination.

This seems very unlikely to me, as Sweden is known to be one of the most social countries in Europe, and such a requirement would not only discriminate against the less well-off, but also against the elderly and disabled.

> It’s important to be aware of what you are getting if you go with React, and what you are getting is a far cry from what a framework would offer, with all the corresponding pros and cons.

Would you like to elaborate on that?

In my experience, with something as great, size/ecosystem-wise as React, there will almost always be at least one mainstream package for whatever you might want to do with it, that integrates pretty well. Where a lot of things might come out of the box with a framework, with a library I often find myself just needing to install the "right" package, and from there it's pretty much the same.

For example, using https://angular.io/guide/i18n-overview or installing and using https://react.i18next.com/

Or something like https://angular.io/guide/form-validation out of the box, vs installing and using https://formik.org/

Or perhaps https://angular.io/guide/router vs https://reactrouter.com/en/main

Even adding something that's not there out of the box is pretty much the same, like https://primeng.org/ or https://primereact.org/

React will typically have more fragmentation and therefore also choice, but I don't see those two experiences as that different. Updates and version management/supply chain will inevitably be more of a mess with the library, admittedly.

Now, projects like Next https://nextjs.org/ exist and add what some might regard as the missing pieces and work well if you want something opinionated and with lots of features out of the box, but a lot of those features (like SSR) are actually pretty advanced and not always even necessary.

That’s not to include the possibility that there’s certain manufactured goods that could be cheaper or only possible to produce at lower gravity.

I imagine it's best (when distributing) to target the convenience of the end-user rather than of the dev team (since one could simply create a separate CICD channel that builds with a glibc-based starting image).

Makes me wonder if the 'cargo install' method requires MUSL libc. This is not stated but that also makes it unclear since it comes right after the former variant.

> lower cost of living

Lower standards of living, lower cost would be like the difference between a budget hotel and a 5 star at the beach, lower standards is vacationing in Iowa instead.

You'll hear people say things like "culturally they like to live ten to a single room tin shack" but that wouldn't be the case if they had wealth. It's not a choice, they are just paid less and that is being used as a justification for continuing to do so.
The parts I love are where I get to make my own decisions locally, with people who are directly affected (which to be fair, is the majority).

The parts I hate are those planned centrally; which thankfully right now are mainly limited to IT, budgeting / expenses, etc. You can completely tell that at the CTO level it looks like we're saving gobs of money by planning centrally; but at the local level you can see that in fact what's happening is the costs are being externalized into other areas in ways that are difficult to measure, but probably end up costing the company at least 3x.

MFJ ceases on-site production in Starkville, Mississippi
I found some old Turbo Pascal code I wrote in the late 1980s - early 1990s and managed to compile and run it under a DOS emulator a few years back.

The code is a map editor for the Rockford ('Boulderdash') PC game. Unfortunately, the versions of Rockford in the wild, for download and online play, seem to be based on a later game engine and the map format has changed so the editor no longer works.

The code was designed to produce registered and un-registered versions, but I never released it into the wild.

If anyone has a copy of the original Rockford game version I'd love to know about it.

> We should have limits on the size and scope of big companies to eliminate global business, which in turn is just about shipping the costs of doing business to poorer countries where that cost is not as large simply because the poor are easier to exploit

While I agree it may be necessary to limit the size of companies, I completely disagree with the reason you give. It's not about the poor being easier to exploit. It really is about optimising global networks. If Eastern Europeans are both better programmers (even if you disagree, at least concede that programmers/workers may generally be "better" or "more efficient" or whatever in some region that's not yours) and much cheaper, and it's not relevant in which geographic location your product comes from, why would you keep your production in a less efficient and more expensive place? To not allow that would be similar to not allowing free competition between workers in general unless you consider for some reason that the international market should not be free (which is becoming more and more popular recently, but with which I strongly disagree - developed countries were 100% in favour of free market only while they were far and away the biggest beneficiaries of such system... now that others can compete at the same level all of a sudden it's not a good thing anymore).

How do you think areas where people get paid less will ever get higher salaries if you insist in making it harder for companies to provide jobs to those who live in such areas. It's true that this may eventually go both ways: i.e. the people in lower cost areas will start getting paid more while the people in the higher cost areas will start getting paid less. Do you find that is less just? If so, why? I find that it's much better to raise the salaries for people in lower paid areas because those people can finally raise to a decent level, while those in higher paid areas will just be a little bit less able to keep their luxuries while still keeping most of their comforts.

Where we agree is that if we allow this system to go on unencumbered, eventually only one place will produce everything (sounds familiar?), only one company will dominate each area of business, and so on. And that is antagonistic to capitalism, and coincidentally, to the wellbeing of workers and consumers as well.
Well, a dictator is almost by definition an oppressive leader - if he isn't oppressive enough, another more oppressive guy will come along and replace him.

But yes, the observation you mentioned is indeed interesting. Hence the tendency of many people to think that states would also be better if run like a corporation, the desire to elect leaders that are (or pretend to be) successful managers, and that other observation that capitalism is not synonymous with democracy (and adopting capitalism does not automatically lead to democracy, as can be seen with China).

>what capitalism wants to avoid is putting "money" in with "power"

I'd argue the enormous amount of private money in politics is evidence against this being the case in practice, along with the well-recognised notion that outcomes in the justice system often depend on how much you can afford to spend on legal representation. Yes there's a lot of formal separation between what is public and what is private, but the realpolitik is that (for example) the water company pouring untreated sewage into the rivers has much more power than the people affected by that practice.

It's in the vagueness that the problem exists, so we shouldn't sweep it away just because there's a lack of clear lines.

> but you can't opt out of the state

You can't, and that's why the state has a lot of the same issues as the large corporates.
Thanks to OP and other posters - various ideas useful in different cases.

The xargs idea made me think of using bash as the parser :

bash -c "exec -c bash -c 'source $CONFIG/main.bash; env'"

This test .bash file contains multiple source-s of other .bash files, which contain a mix of comments, functions, set and env vars - just the env vars are exported by env.
This seems useful e.g. for collating & summarising an environment for docker run -e.

This outputs the env vars to stdout; for the OP's purpose, the output could be sourced :

envFile=$(mktemp /tmp/env.XXXXXX);

bash -c "exec -c bash -c 'source $CONFIG/main.bash; env'" > $envFile;

env $(cat $envFile) sh -c 'echo $API_HOST'

# For Bourne shell, use env -i in place of exec -c :

sh -c "env -i sh -c '. $CONFIG/main.sh; env'" > $envFile

> companies today hire workers to make money from their labor. In other words, they generate profit because they pay their employees less than they’re worth. If everyone could trade their labor for exactly the amount of money it was worth, the corporations that employ them would have a much harder time making money. Instead, in modern corporations the shareholders and the executive team - again, the central planning committee we so despise - make the majority of the money

This is normal and natural. In a corporation, some stakeholders contribute cash, and other stakeholders contribute labor. Both are forms of capital. It is the combination of both that allows them to become more than the sum of their parts, and in doing so, generate wealth. There's plenty of room for criticism about just how much of the generated wealth should flow to those who invested cash compared to those who invested labor, and reforming the tax code so that it is easier to compensate with shareholdership those who invest with labor. But corporations should earn more from the labor than the labor is worth. That forming a corporation begins a positive-sum game, and not a zero-sum game, shouldn't be controversial.

> I know the solution is not more freelancing and contract work, which America’s corporations are addicted to. That’s the worst of both worlds: The exploitative nature of capitalism with the inefficient bureaucracies of communism. Transactions on the free market work because they’re good for both sides, but most people only accept part-time contract relationships today when they have no other real choices.

I think the author is holding up very specific contractual relationships as a scapegoat here; e.g. "gig economy" work a la Uber drivers, or the "contractors" who are fleecing the state of California out of billions of dollars for the high-speed rail project. And fair enough. But buried in both of those scapegoats is a clue: the "solution" is not individuals accepting take-it-or-leave-it short contracts presented by a robot taskmaster, nor is it BigConsulting agglomerating tens of thousands of warm bodies sold out by the hour, any more than the solution is sole proprietorships sewing dresses in their living rooms or the massive bureaucracies of Fortune 100 companies. Rather, it is in small and medium businesses, and giving contracts to other small and medium businesses; every one running small enough to keep executives in touch with line workers.

I echo your statement and to take it a step further:

In corporate politics there is only one thing that 'wins' and that is profitability. That profitability comes from the workforce so the top leaders are usually very motivated, democratic people because the best ideas win and you need people on your side.

Thinking about the public sector, there is no KPI for a 'win'. When we try to start using statistics it becomes 'political', skewered, or hand waved away as a complex marcoeconomic force.
