I would recommend that parents encourage their children to use a variety of usernames on the major social platforms, none of which are related to their legal name.

I'm in the process of transitioning to a single username everywhere based on the domain ngp.io, which itself is essentially "[my intials] I/O". I like the elegance and conciseness of it. But I'm extremely glad that I didn't do something like this earlier. My childhood online (as well as my "online childhood", if you catch my meaning) remain obscure to all but those with the necessary time, resources and motivation.

That's surprisingly powerful when you're surrounded by swarms of people whose entire histories can be looked up in a matter of minutes.

It can also be damning; I'm reminded of the line in Mad Men referring to Don Draper, "He has no people! You can't trust a person like that." Being the mysterious man from out of town might be alluring from a sexual stance, but business-wise it's still difficult to advance without strong geographically-rooted social networks, and the first step to creating those nowadays is often glancing at someone's Facebook or Twitter and exclaiming "hey, I know that person too!" Personhood is partially defined by your connection to other people, so having a visible interpersonal history is, in a sense, required for passing the Turing tests you're subjected to by those around you. Gaps in your history, on purpose or by accident, can result in being treated like a subhuman.
You misunderstand Basic income as providing equal wealth to everyone... That is not the goal. The point is to provide the bare minimum amount of money required for someone to survive. You would base the amount of money each person gets on the cost of living where they live, just like how wages very from place to place today. The amount of Basic income wouldn't be the same everywhere.

Basic Income isn't socialism, people would still work, they just wouldn't work as much. Since the Basic income only takes care of your basic needs if you want to buy a new tech toy you will have to go to work and get the money to pay for it. Since your basic needs are already taken care of, businesses won't have to provide a "living wage", there would either be a very low minimum wage or no minimum wage at all so a much smaller percentage of a businesses's revenue would go towards paying employees meaning more profit. Hopefully along with basic income we would also adopt universal healthcare that would further take finical burden off of businesses.

This is the opinion I was looking for in the comments. All though the general sentiment behind pt.stackoverflow.com is good the execution is not. As you say this will only create additional segregation by separating developers based on their proficiency in english. The programming community benefits enormously from having a single common language. Just imagine the problems that would occur if we had libraries that did not use the common language.

However the problem of english proficiency and the barriers it creates for aspiring programmers is still very important. I say: let's not try to localize programming and further the segregation of the community, instead let's try to combine english education with programming education in a meaningful way.

First language is swedish by the way.

Not much to say until we have more info. With all the amazing advancements that Tesla has made, I can't help but be reminded of Apollo 1's fire. And I have no doubts that they will recover as swiftly as NASA did.

well...your feedback is actually quite interesting. The intros in the front page are supposed to outline our approach in analyzing standard tests. We just wanted to deliver a sense that we are analytical in our approach to test prepping. But based on your comments, it sounds like it is confusing and might be better to jump straight to the questions page. We'll give it some thoughts and play with it. Thanks!!!

Does Gentrification Gentrify without Gentrifiers?
Facebook also has a "no unusual name" policy, but it's very randomly enforced.

My friend's first name is "Spider." It is not her birth name, but she's used it professionally and personally her entire adult life.

When she signed up for Facebook they told her she couldn't be "Spider" because somebody (Sony probably) decided that wasn't a "real" name (Spider Robinson and Spider Sabich notwithstanding.) If she wanted to use "Spider" Facebook needed a legal ID with that name on it (which she does not have.)

So she registered under "Spidie" instead with no further problems.

> The efficiency of basic income lies in its extreme simplicity.

Fair enough. I find it difficult to accept a system that doesn't grant a powerful advantage to a person with a significant physical/mental disability though. Equal basic income for all does not seem fair in that context.

Also...this is more me thinking out loud than attacking anyone.

No, but that doesn't imply that it shouldn't hold true for the entirety of the child's legal childhood.

There's always been a feature of childhood that I feel is paramount: the freedom to alter one's identity. The child is still in beta; they're a person that's not officially released to the public.

Forcing them, from the start, to stick a single identity can be problematic psychologically and socially.

Encouraging situational pseudonymity is not equal to the revocation of one's legal identity, from now until death.

I can say with certainty that, had I not had the benefits of pseudonymity offered by the internet of the 90s and 00s, I would be a fundamentally broken person.
It's quite widely used for technical publishing in general, not necessarily in academia. Typeset equations in many high-profile publishing packages are still somewhere between abysmal and horrible, so there's still some incentive to its use.

Outside that? Probably not, but there's a lot of polarization in modern typography. Much of it is either of exceptional quality that goes beyond "just" advanced typesetting, or of such a poor taste that Word suffices.

The assumption that this "freedom" remain available in the future is what I challenged, not a social obligation not to avail yourself of it. It may become technically or legally impossible to operate under a pseudonym or to change your legal name in the future. If you give your child a unique name, and the ability to operate under a different name is not available, then you've guaranteed their activity (childhood or otherwise) is easily cataloged and searchable.

Hmm. A few comments:

- I love Trello and have used it for years. It's probably my favorite piece of software. You couldn't pay me to switch. I use it for software development, by the way, and it works fine.

- I don't use Vim. (I use ed, and yes I'm serious.)

- The site not being responsive is a turnoff. Trello is responsive.

Other than that, I think I'd use it if Trello didn't exist.
We'd love to be able to take all the info we have, and make it available in every language. But here's why it's harder than it looks:

`This is probably a dumb question , but why Google Did not translate simply use ? (Or equivalent )

(Such as , what so that you will translate well to etc. ' space ' Portuguese equivalent of ' space ') because it was translated properly , keyword if there is a conversion method that targets the programming field I think that can help . I feel like the creation of the map of the term would be relatively easy to me.

Hey, this is not actually what we are saying. Here is what we are saying. The vast majority of people in these cities (~85-90%) are renting the homes that they live in (also know as their primary dwelling) - either a living room, bedroom, or their whole home when they are gone. 60% of them depend on the money they make to pay their rent or mortgage - this according to the surveys we have done for our economic impact studies. These people were living in these homes before Airbnb, so they had a choice to either move out and find a cheaper place (presumably in a different neighborhood or out of the city) since they cannot afford the vacant space, or put it on Airbnb. Many of these people are self employed or under employed. A classic example are artists. This was my story when I moved to San Francisco. If these people moved out, the likely new tenants would be people who could afford to move in without renting on Airbnb. Now, of course some people could move in with the intention of renting on Airbnb. We are not saying this never happens. What we are saying is that more people are using Airbnb to keep their homes than using it as means of displacing people. The property manager issue is a real problem that we are dealing with.

> we have the centrally planned systems of Communism and Marxism, not particularly effective, as it turns out.

Sure, China only has the second biggest economy in the world.

Also for the USSR, once the civil war ended and the American soldiers and so forth had been kicked out, and Stalin gained political control - the economy had incredible growth. While the West was mired in Depression, Russia was going gangbusters building steel works and such. European and American workers went there to work, because there was work there and not the West. American companies went there as well as they were hiring contractors while American businesses were not. Russia's economy did very well under Stalin. People talk about the stagnation during the Brezhnev years, which is true, but they ignore the booming economy from the 1920s to the 1950s/1960s.
My name is essentially unique. Neither first nor last are that rare but they're not that common either and of somewhat different ethnicities. (Someone else in the last century seemed to have the same name but they had no Internet footprint as far as I could tell.)

Personally, I don't mind that if you pull up my name, you find me though YMMV.

The really bad thing IMO would be having a fairly uncommon name and sharing it with someone notorious. You don't even need to get into Do-Not-Fly lists and the like. I had a classmate a long while back (pre-web) who lived in New York and he apparently shared his name with someone who got into a very public spat with George Steinbrenner. My classmate got all sorts of phone calls and even death threats.

I also think he's overestimating the degree to which all programmers, even good ones, can understand someone else's code easily. In fact, most of the effort being put into understanding how to code properly is meant to make it easy for other programmers to be able to read someone else's code and know what's going on, simply because it's extremely hard to do as things currently stand.

Why is it a best practice to write functions that only do one thing? Because as soon as the function is doing multiple things, it can get very very confusing as to what exactly is going on, even for the best programmers.
I forget exactly what it is but there is an important component of the charging system in the front right wheel well that you are not supposed to cut through if you are attempting a rescue of the passenger in a Tesla. They demonstrated that in their emergency responder training videos, saying that it's different from normal cars where you can cut right through the wheel well and here you should not since there are high voltage wires there.

With 17 car fires per hour in the USA, it seems quite obvious that some of those would be from a Tesla. It's unfortunate that these are the only ones that make the news though.

Relative to other cars, Tesla car fires are quite rare.
> And if it becomes technically or illegally impossible to operate under a pseudonym or to change your legal name in 10 years? That this won't happen is the assumption I challenged, not some social obligation not to choose to use a pseudonym.

Then we should work to make that future unlikely. Even if things come to be as you describe, we should build in strict social/technical safeguards of (at the very least) pseudonymity until we much better understand the development the human mind.

[edit in response to your edited post] It seems we're pretty much in agreement, just coming at the issue from different points of devil's advocacy.

THIS. I have a unique last name - there is absolutely no ambiguity whenever anything shows up.

Whenever a website (or anything offline that might put rankings or whatever online) wants me to use my real name, I usually default to "Alex", "Alex M/MJ" or "Alex (gibberish)" depending on their guidelines. What they view as a policy that "encourages openness", I view as something that will guide first impressions when people google me unto eternity.

Even if it's not controversial, it's the first thing a potential client or employer sees when they type things into google, and I don't want to be reckless with that. I don't want to have to view every minor action that I make on a website as something that's potentially going to be on the front page of google's results for my name.

When I was in HS, my friends had a poker league, and we all had nicknames and personas - someone put up a page with hilarious (but decidedly unprofessional) caricatures and quotes and it was the first thing that showed up under my name. I noticed it and asked my friend to change it, which he though was hilarious but understood and did.

Same for Meetup. A long time ago I went to some meetups that could potentially be alienating to some folks (agnostics and whatever, way back in the day when I felt it was worth arguing about) and BOOM, google front page for my name. If I had a client who was somewhat religious, I don't care at all but I don't want that to show up and all of a sudden I'm accidentally alienating people. For showing up to something.

Whenever I run a 5k or do anything remotely prestigious I always use my full name so that the front page of google just gets filled with that kind of thing in case anything else that's potentially a liability pops up and I don't notice it. It's annoying.

Re. JS: "Standing on the shoulders of giants" can have its perils, when the giants exhibit a different mind set about scope or so.

Re. assembly, I'm pushing 60 so I've written a lot of assembler in the days, most of it on PDP11 and AppleII. Last time I coded in assembly was 1993, so if you're not writing your own BIOS you're good without it.

Funny, though. The other day I missed something from assembler, and I'm not taking about speed or lowlevel stuff. No it was the ability to switch text segments, in C++ it would be equivalent to be able, in a single .cpp file, to switch from one translation unit to another.
Some "examples" (they are really just weak speculation) for how I think Rails may have contributed to the three specific areas I mentioned:

- Packaging: This is probably where I think Rails contributed most - both rubygems.org and Bundler were created to make it easier to manage the creation and use of lots of large numbers of dependencies, which Rails projects tend to have. Also rvm and its descendants were created to handle Rails app deployments, and are especially useful for situations where you're switching between lots of projects with different ruby version and library dependencies, which is typical in Rails client work.

- Standard library: The `Object#tap` method came from ActiveSupport. Also, ActiveSupport had an OrderedHash, and now all hashes are ordered. I think there are some other examples of that sort of thing.

- Performance: I really don't know what has driven performance improvements have been made, but it doesn't seem outlandish to think that backlash against poor CPU and (especially) memory usage characteristics of Rails applications was a contributor.
