For what it’s worth American workers as a whole make ~20x what Turkish workers do. While American shipbuilders make more than the average while Turkish ones are closer to their average countrymen, the 20x discrepancy in salaries doesn’t seem limited to shipbuilding. So not sure about the characterization of “sucking on the teat of taxpayers” per se vs overall higher regulations and salaries in the US.

I think I only partially agree with this.

I do think the US can depend on Europe, Canada and Mexico. South Korea, Japan, and Australia are far from the USA and close to China. They have high incentive stay friendly with China.

I do think China can easily outproduce the US. But I don't know that the US needs to maximize output per dollar. The USA can print dollars, and already creates a whole bunch of dollars out of thin air every year. The inflationary effect of printing a few more billion, specifically to maintain local shipbuilding capabilities, might be worth it. Just going for dollar efficiency has led the USA to de-industrialize, perhaps too much.

The status quo can't be maintained, that's for sure.

> I have a credit card that gives me 5% back on Amazon purchases. Another card gives me 4.5% back on travel and dining expenses. That card also gives me 15% back on Lyft rides. Even if those businesss were to offer me a 2% or 3% discount to use FedNow, I would stick with the credit card.

These are promotions. The card company is gambling that most of your purchases won't be in the promotion category, so they'll come out ahead even if they have to eat 2% when you buy something on Amazon as long as they make 2% when you buy anything else and less than half of your purchases are on Amazon. But if they're making out on net then you're losing out on net, which has to be the case on average or they'd stop offering it.

Many of the promotions are also deals with the merchant. Maybe they're not eating 2% when you buy something on Amazon, maybe Amazon is offering that extra 2% to cause you to perceive a 5% discount and then buy from Amazon instead of Walmart. In which case they're not trying to get you to use FedNow for that.

> And on top of that, I really do value things the credit cards offer, like fraud protection. If I pay for something with a credit card and never receive the goods, I can get the card company to issue a chargeback, and pay nothing. If I buy something with FedNow and never receive the goods, that money is just gone.

The converse of this is buyer fraud. Fraudulent buyers dispute the charge even though the goods were delivered. Merchants then have to incorporate the cost of this into the prices you pay whether you use a credit card or not -- which is another reason why capping the surcharge at 3% is anti-competitive. A competing payment method which is less susceptible to buyer fraud should cost less to use, and then you can decide if you want to pay for the insurance or not. But Visa makes you pay even if you trust the merchant not to defraud you and would rather have the discount than have a greater ability to defraud them.
>Static array indices in function parameter declarations: awesome, a shame that C++ (and Tiny C) do not support it >/

The first array size is actually always decayed to a pointer, supporting it in a compiler without analysis passes like TCC is just a matter of skipping the "static" token and the size.

That's clearly a false dichotomy, even the post you are replying to outlined a number of ways which an artist might supplement their income.

Also the idea that a significant UBI would lead to people just coasting seems patently false. Every bit of evidence shows that when given the opportunity the majority of individuals are driven to improve the quality of their lives; and also, that quality is measured in relative and not absolute terms.
Easily is the operative word. Blockbuster was easy but you had to drive there -- netflix is easier. Libraries similarly require driving (unless you use overdrive / similar) but piracy is easier for many as well. Books just haven't found their spotify/netflix; the kindle store is basically 2009 itunes.
>I disagree that most people's lives have "significantly improved" compared with the 1960s. We have more things, but I don't think that our lives are that much better, or even better at all. In the 1950s and 60s most families could get by with a one income household -- try that today.

This impression is contradicted by a mountain of data. Ourworldindata.org is a good place to start.

Anecdotally, when I talk to elderly people, they nearly all agree that they've witnessed substantial improvements in living standards. They're not always keen on the cultural changes, but they nearly always view modern living as "better off."
> If the intent was to interoyerate with c++ then not supporting the api is hostile. I have a lot of code using vector, if I have to convert that to arrays then you are hostile and worse that is new code which per the article makes it suspect

It's not hostile to not commit resources to integrating with another language. It might be shortsighted, though.

> d does support c++ abi. It seems almost dead now but it is possible.

That was made possible by Digital Mars's existing C++ compiler and their ability to integrate with it / borrow from it. Rust can't take the same path. Additionally, D's object model is closer to C++ than Rust's is; it's not a 1:1 map, but the task is still somewhat easier. (My D days are approaching a decade ago, so I'm not sure what the current state of affairs is.)

> realistically there are two c++ abis in the world. Itanimum and msvc. both are known well enough that you can imblement them if you want (it is tricky)

The raw ABI is doable, yeah - but how do you account for the differences in how the languages work? As a simple example - C++ has copy constructors, Rust doesn't. Rust has guarantees around lifetimes, C++ doesn't. What does that look like from a binding perspective? How do you expose that in a way that's amenable to both languages?

`cxx`'s approach is to generate lowest-common denominator code that both languages can agree upon. That wouldn't work as a language feature because it requires buy-in from the other side, too.

Most of the security around nuclear reactors is to prevent disruption of critical power infrastructure and barring access to spent fuel rods. This design would need far less security since it is sealed and not a huge plant that would cut power to half the USA if destroyed.

Stealing one of these would be pretty pointless. It would be far easier to get much more dangerous isotopes from one of the thousands of hospitals that use such things or a laboratory. The 20% enrichment is not enough to produce viable weapons either. Uranium enrichment has just gotten way too easy with new centrifuge designs.

Applications are mostly stuff like Antarctic research projects and remote oil fields. Also, if it is approved for such uses, it could power a container ship saving huge amounts of money on diesel fuel which is about half their operating cost.
> as millions of people stop doing productive work to live easy lives

Or alternately, millions of people will cease busy work which adds no value - and engage in genuinely productive tasks instead. Caring for their families, locally growing food, building collaboratively, teaching and learning form one another. We only reach for succour and addiction when dispirited and alienated. Graeber was far too conservative in his definition of bullshit jobs. The vast mass of us now work in the production of bureaucratic services so far removed from an actual good as to be incalculable. Our work is bullshit, or worse - actively destructive, and we know it.

Bah, those are all well-known.

What value does the following program return?

int main()
{
int *p = 0;

loop:
if (p)
return *p;

int v = 1;
p = &v;
v = 2;
goto loop;
return 3;
}

Also, rather than doing `sizeof` via one error at a time, it's better to just emit them to a char array {'0' + sz/10, '0' + sz%10, '\0'}. Generalizing this to signed numbers of arbitrary size is left as an exercise for the reader.

It can become a compulsion to record and collect media. Seems like a male thing, normally it's blokes who create these archives.

I met a bloke once in the 90's who made recordings on to C-90 tapes of anything interesting that was on BBC Radio 4 and 3, and he found most things interesting. He was surrounded by piles, thousands of tapes everywhere and he was desperately trying to catalog everything. As I spoke to him he was listening to the radio via an ear bud, whilst also recording the radio. He was supposed to be moving out of his house that day, having just exchanged contacts, but he was drowning in his precious tapes. His wife seemed pretty p**d off with him.

I was a bit compulsive myself. I used to buy records, then CDs, and I also made tapes of albums, and recordings of the John Peel show. It was a problem to shift 100s of records and CDs and boxes of tapes whenever I moved house. I lightened my load by giving everything away apart from the Peel tapes which were the most entertaining items in the whole collection, it actually felt good. I kept hold of the Peel tapes for some years, even though my tape deck had died. There were some great shows from the 90s! But then I had to downsize again so I took them to the rubbish tip, even that didn't make me sad.

Ultimately, having and keeping stuff just weighs you down.

At least for me, the feelings you describe are characteristic of a footgun, not a WAT. A WAT is rather a desperate bewilderment as to who could ever design the thing that way and why, and for switch statements computed gotos are the answer to that question.

As for the footgun issue, I mean, it could be one in theory, sure. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen it actually fired. And I can’t really appreciate the Javaesque “abuse” thinking—it is to some extent the job of the language designer to prevent the programmer from accidentally doing something bad, but I don’t see how it is their job to prevent a programmer from deliberately doing strange things, as long as the result looks appropriately strange as well.

(There are reasons to dislike C’s switch statement, I just don’t think the potential for “abuse” is one.)

It all depends on the definition of a healthy diet. I have type II diabetes, and I eat low-carb as much as reasonably possible. A friend with A-fib and gets the best results from the low-fat vegan diet. I have a friend whose partner accumulates iron in her blood, so she does best with a vegetarian diet. If you have kidney disease, you need a diet with specific types of protein and a bioavailability level that you can't entirely get from plants.

One very unfortunate thing about online book lending is that it requires a license from the copyright holder. With physical books you can lend them out freely and without any restrictions as no copies are being created due to lending. But every time one lends a online book a copy is necessarily created due to how computers work (bytes are not physically moved over a network, they are copied) and so copyright law applies. A valid license to make copies must be held at the time the copy is created and so copyright holders can use this to extract perpetual rents or even restrict access to works for various reasons [0].
