I think you should read that a little more expansively that the things I explicitly commented on.

Some examples of ideology: "children should be parented with high intensity", "men and women should be doing the exact same things in a family in exactly equal proportions with no specialization", "a family should consist of two capitalism-participting income-earners," etc.

I suspect fixing the issues you outlined with the fixes you're implying wouldn't actually do anything to increase birthrates.

The headaches are real, but it's a similar pipeline/effect to caffeine/theobromine. Your brain wants at least a little MSG in your diet because it does exciting things with it. Your brain is also easily over-saturated with it and gets "hungover" if you eat/drink too much in too short an amount of time, and different people can be differently sensitive (just as with coffee/tea/chocolate/etc).

Certainly there were restaurants trying to sell you the "5-Hour Energy" equivalent of MSG and some cuisines tend to get closer to doing that naturally. But also you shouldn't directly or indirectly blame the people that make that food for you, just as it is silly to blame all coffee shops for the caffeine headaches and migraines you sometimes get if you don't watch how much coffee you are drinking.

Yup... The current size of the Nim community reminds me of the perceived size of the Python community when I first started using Python around 2000-2001. (I'm still amazed how popular Python is now. People said it would never happen because significant whitespace was such a fatal dealbreaker!) Back then, all I needed to get going was the book Learning Python (1st Edition) by Mark Lutz. Lack of massive corporate support didn't stop me. Python didn't really have the same kind of "Big Tech" corporate backing like Java had from Sun, though Python did have just enough to keep going. Google formally supporting Python internally definitely helped a lot. It feels like Nim is one similar ("Google uses Python!") announcement away from getting on a similar growth path.

I was somewhat dismissive, but I agree that this way of thinking about dependencies is the right approach for systems programming. And it is fair to expect that users will read the manual in detail for any tool or library they adopt in the contexts where C is used.

It's just a bit frustrating to deal with so many names that are hard to understand and remember. C-style naming forces you to refer to the docs more often, and the docs are usually more sparse and less accessible than in other ecosystems. Man pages are relatively robust and they were a delight back in the day, but they have not been the gold standard for decades, and the documentation conventions for third-party libraries tend to be quite weak.
I don't think it's fair to call that "performance gap", when for sure your bank never invested one second to even test, to say nothing of optimizing their site for Firefox. As for PDFs I never noticed that delay (sample size of one). Weird.
> If it's really true that productivity has gone up since 1975, we should be able to maintain the same standard of living as now.

I don't think thats going to be accurate. A population of purely 20-40yr olds is going to be way more productive than a population of 60-80yr olds. This is typically the concern people bring up with the baby bust stats.

We achieved a lot of productivity by having a "young" demographic where there wasn't a lot of 60yr olds to each say 50- yr olds. There's going to be a productivity drop off as people voluntary retire or become too injured to work their original jobs. Additionally, older people require more supportive care so more old people means less young people in more productive (according to GDP) positions.

Take a look at Russia's demographics [1]. That bulge around 40yrs old is going to become a bulge at 60yrs old in 20 years while a lot of them will die so it'll be a smaller bulge at 60yrs old the 20yr old bulge will remain quite a bit smaller. Sure, Russia as a country won't disappear because of this; but they will be less competitive on the global scale and a lot of menial jobs will go unfilled because there just aren't bodies.

Back in the 80s, we used to draw network diagrams on the whiteboard; those parts of the network that belonged neither to us nor to our users was represented by an outline of a cloud. This cloud didn't provide storage or (useable) computing resource. If you pushed stuff in here, it came out there.

I think it was a reasonable analogy. You can't see inside it; you don't know how it works, and you don't need to. Note that at this time, 'the internet' wasn't the only way of joining heterogenous networks; there was also the OSI stack.

So I was annoyed when some bunch of kids who had never seen such whiteboard diagrams decided to re-purpose the term to refer to whatever piece of the internet they had decided to appropriate, fence-in and then rent out.

Can you explain your thinking re a solution being both in-process/embedded and focusing on client/server use cases? On the surface, these seem contradictory to me.

I don't know about a "competition or a fight" but forking a project to target contradictory use cases definitely involves trade-offs.
You just repeated my point. It's a different market segment and always was.

Phones are now sitting in that segment of casual photography. And are "affordable" and convenient.

Those of us who are nerdy about pictures, go and buy a mirrorless. But that's always going to be a small and different segment.

Phones don't have space for big sensors either, other than some gimmicky big-sensor phones (808 PureView, Lumia 1020). The iPhone 15 Pro main camera sensor is 9.8x7.3mm, compared to say, the Ricoh GR III with a 23.5x15.6mm sensor, about 5x larger. The GR III is actually less tall/wide than an iPhone, but about 4x the thickness.

Agreed with Paul. Find a suitable college which already has commuters and working professionals as a part of their student base, and go talk to some advisors in admissions.

It recently started to work on my Vodafone plan. Never even had a voicemail before that. Probably not a carrier-specific feature, at least not the transcription - though passing the voicemail audio data on probably requires some carrier-side support.

> There's no intrinsic reason a camera couldn't run with an Android OS.

There is: battery life and startup time.

DLSRs have no problem being being on standby for weeks if not months with minimal battery drain and then springing to life within a second at the press of a button. Android phones do no even come remotely close to that level of efficiency.
> But then laptops aren't for serious work, that's what desktops are for !

Where is that? I haven't seen a desktop at any workplace for more than 10 years, possibly more. Closer to 20 likely. And I mean anywhere -- neither small startups nor bigger businesses. Nobody used desktops for work, serious or otherwise. I'd say the only people I know who still use desktops are hardcore gamers (and not even most of them, either!).

In any case, we're getting sidetracked. My main point was that even these entry-level laptops are better than an Oculus headset for working. My experience, YMMV, and all the standard disclaimers.
It stands to reason that when a population delays family formation and childrearing, starting years or even decades later than in the past (say... 30+ compared to late teens), there will be dramatically fewer children born. In the case of some couples, no children at all (even if some are desired).
If you live in Europe then the population of your country 30 years from now will most likely not look much like you, and the prevailing culture, institutions, and religions will look more like those of newcomers who have higher birth rates, at least for the first couple of generations, and less like those of yours/your-parents.

In this case they would be adding a feature that complements the feature they depend on for funding with one that would be free to use, rather than removing anything.

It's a good point. To be fair, any system that lasts as long as C has will have legacy cruft that you need to learn to step around and it's hard to get rid of. Relative to other standards, C has been remarkably disciplined at keeping things clean.

What software exactly are modern DSLRs or mirrorless cameras missing? I know, picking at software is a favorite past time on HN, but most of the time it is missing the point. Examples for this include: ERP systems, embeded and or safety relevant software, software in highly regulated markets or sectors. And, it seems, cameras. Computational photography is all fine, on an iPhone.
The "wage dictation fallacy" part is just plain weird. Saying "the wages are not set by the market, not by corporations" makes absolutely 0 sense unless you just forget that "the market" is mostly corporations.

Regarding greedflation the author writes:

In healthy markets this greed is checked by competitors undercutting them.

We don’t have healthy markets in key areas of the economy. There has been massive consolidation and what we have now is akin to cartel pricing.

Regarding the McDuck fallacy the author writes:

These companies then use the money for their growth, operations, r&d, job creation, etc.

Our capitalist system is very good at extracting profits and driving down labor costs. The surplus goes primarily to those who have stocks and other investments. This overwhelmingly benefits those at the top. A few people in the U.S. have more wealth than the bottom 150 million people. It’s an obscene situation. The distribution of resources is grossly unfair.
Is a deal with any god, even a benevolent one (like a Culture Mind), a deal with the devil?
The market definitely decided this... Even before internet access was common on phones, or phone cameras were decent, the requests were for better cameras on phones. Because the camera you're more likely to use is the one you have with you. You're more likely to have your phone than a separate camera, and photos are often a matter of opportunity.

There's a lot of hand-wringing in the micro-four-thirds camera community about why Panasonic and OM Systems haven't released any updates to their older small/portable cameras (which the M43 system was great for, the lenses being much smaller than APS-C and full-frame). It's likely there's just no money in it and so they're focusing on more $$ niche tiers instead, with larger bodies. (Panasonic on video, OM Systems on bird/nature photography).

Fujifilm is having great success with their fixed-lens X100V, though.
> empirical evidence

That is going to be a though one, at least direct measurements are pretty much ruled out if you consider that the plank length is about a quadrillion (yes, really 10^15) times smaller than the classical electron radius.

So, we will have to settle for indirect evidence and theoretical results.
Eventually, experience. Today, create ADDs (architecture design documents), where you describe functionalities, apis, db schemas, flows, etc and ask for your more senior colleagues for review.

Good to know. I suspect a lot of people don't even try.
The OP looks like it's just capitalist/libertarian talking points.

Honestly, I'd like some discussions of the real fallacies of capitalism, like "you can tell what people really want by what markets make" (often deployed to silence legitimate criticism), etc.

Propaganda like the OP isn't really compelling, because it papers over the real complexity of the world by quoting chapter and verse from oversimple models (if it's even being honest at all).

The fact you can't encode arbitrary data in a structured-but-irrational number doesn't mean you can't encode data in a 'random' irrational number.
