On the contrary, it's you who is confused here. The conditions you're describing - a surplus in supply for a range of market goods (mostly low-skilled human labour) is the result of the continued attempts of Western countries to regulate against free market dynamics. Removing the perverse regulations which caused this imbalance to arise would result in a short, hopefully not too harsh correction, after which supply and demand would again equalise across the range of various market goods in question.

It's similar to the situation of a hypothetical (or not so hypothetical really) society which decided to "help out" potato farmers by limiting the price of a kg of potatoes to $10. What would you expect? Potato production would skyrocket as people try and cash in on the boom, while potato buying would plummet as people switch to unregulated alternatives.

Imagine this situation continuing on, with more and more vegetables becoming price-controlled, all the while as the mass of unemployed farmers grows and grows (because the system supports people in their failure to be vegetable farmers with unemployment handouts), the conditions of the market become worse and worse, and the further distortionary actions (for example, police crackdowns on blackmarket vegetable sales) required to sustain the whole system become more and more extreme. When someone questions the need for the price restrictions, the average citizen responds:

"Vegetable markets would not magically become free markets (in the textbook-definition sense) if there were no regulations. People are forced to grow vegetables, there aren't enough buyers per grower to make the demand high enough to make the market fluid, and a single buyer can influence the price."

Of course, this really isn't hypothesis. Citizens of today's socialised, regulated countries are just blind to the destructive consequences which surround them.
I think it's pretty basic. I created a demo repo for people to play with, so they don't have to configure themselves: https://github.com/tuhdo/emacs-c-ide-demo

For C++, CEDET works pretty nicely with templates and libraries like Boost. I haven't used much C++ aside playing with lambda, so I'm not sure. I've looked at rvalue reference, and it seems to return an assignable pointer to do other thing from a function. Currently, you can jump to the function but not the pointer that the function returns.

Currently, I only work with C. But being able to jump anywhere in the Linux kernel source tree and your system include source (such as "/usr/include", "/usr/local/include" is already very useful, don't you agree?
One of my relatives has been sleeping on average 5-6 hours a day for past 10-15 years. She would sleep 3-4 hours a night with short naps during the day and then would have have a full 7-9 night sleep every few days. No health problems, absolutely functional person. Though she is still majorily concerned about her "lack of sleep" and thinks it's something that needs to be "fixed".
GitLab B.V. CEO here, have you tried our packages? With them you can now install GitLab in two minutes.
I agree: this is not C/C++ IDE, this is a C IDE (and maybe a "C-with-classes" IDE).

None of these emacs packages (e.g. CEDET) handle modern C++ well (heavy use of generic programming, boost, c++-11 features, etc.). Even indenting this code is complicated for an editor!

I think the only way to do it is to rely on the compilers to parse the code. Clang has a nice API (and command lines tools) for this. For instance, there are some packages for auto-completition in emacs: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AutoComplete

Last, it would be nice to have a brew/ubuntu package so we can easily install the "IDE" :)

As long as there is a willing buyer and a willing seller, the transaction will happen, you're just pushing it underground.

The higher the price you're able to command for your services, the more likely you are to have your stuff together, so it's also the most vulnerable sex workers you're pushing underground, too.

In a fully private medical system people would bear the consequences of failure to invest wisely in medical goods and services (i.e. prevent worse health problems with cheap early treatment.) There would be the strongest incentives possible (your own wallet, not society's) for making the right decision. Sounds fine to me.
The only borders of note in Europe are the Polish-Russian border, the Hungarian-Romanian border, the Borders with Bulgaria and Turkey. And of course there is the UK. Most of not all of the rest are just lines on maps these day and pose no significant barrier to entry from parties going one way or the other.

There are 'roving' patrols but these are far too few to make any big difference.

I travel a lot within Europe and the borders above are the only ones where I've seen any border activity at all, let alone was stopped for inspection of my vehicle or passport control in the last decade or more.
The big problem is that while telecommunications industry shares a lot with informatics, the way they deal with customers is completely different.

AutoComplete has nothing to do with C/C++. It's just a package for displaying completion candidates, but you must give it a source for displaying. It is pretty outdated compare to company-complete. Company also has a Clang[ backend, available through the command company-clang.

Emacs also has Clang based solutions such as rtags: https://github.com/Andersbakken/rtags that can index code as you type but is complicated to setup. Or you can use Clang to generate a tag database for your source code with clang-ctags: https://github.com/drothlis/clang-ctags , but the performance for creating tag database is not so good for large source tree: it took "98 minutes and a peak memory usage of 140MB" to generate a tag database for entire LLVM source.

As for CEDET, in what way it could not handle library like Boost? Could you be specific? I tried it before with Boost, and it works pretty well (i.e. gives correct completion candidates in a namespace). I used CEDET for getting completion candidates all the time in Boost.
I'm very skeptical of such hand wavey story telling about macro economic subjects, whether the source is a credentialed academic or an anonymous internet raver.

It does seem incredible that the author doesn't give more weight to the economic impact of exploitive colonisation by the British in India.

I think Macro economics is to complex to figure out by extremely intelligent people who are trying, let alone be summed up in a short essay.

The problem is both micro and macro. The individual actors in a human economy, humans that is, are fantastically more complex in their behavior than, say air molecules that could be modeled as part of a complex emergent, chaotic phenomena like weather.

So you have 7 billion human actors, all existing within the complex ecosphere of the earth.

The human economies are simply an aspect of mass social phenomena, with continuous, ongoing feedback looks in cultural, biological, and geographical domains.

Feeble attempts to illuminate the issues of the world's economies strike me as little fairy tales, and I'm amazed it gets published like this for a credulous public.
But the argument wasn't "be type-safe", it was "don't do things where the input and output are of different types".

Legalizing prostitution actually results in more women stepping forward to document abuse and force because they are no longer afraid the police will treat them as criminals rather than victims.

Basic income (and in general a good social program) cuts down significantly on this as well but most of the women you are talking about are definitely not from countries with basic income (or at least, not at a level that you could realistically contemplate living of it).

You won't see Dutch women or Danish women or German women as prostitutes in Romania or Bulgaria but there is plenty of evidence that Romanian, Bulgarian and Ukraninian women are in prostitution in Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavian countries.

So the economy most definitely is a factor. In a typical scenario girls get lured to the target country with promises of riches in some kind of career and when they arrive their passports are taken away and they are forced into prostitution.

It's also not rare to see the majority of this be facilitated by people from their home countries.

Very sad stuff.

For those who don't know: Ballblazer was a great game from Lucasfilm Games back in the 80's, for various 8-bit home gaming and computer systems. I've played it a bunch on the 7800 and that inspired me to write a pseudo-clone of the game, with my own spin and with more selectable variations.

It is one of the top destinations because of all the tourists that want to come to the country where prostitution is legal.

If you walk through the red light district of Amsterdam at any given time of day there will be tourists packed wall-to-wall and relatively few locals (they are mostly on the 'supply side').

If every country would legalize prostitution the draw of this would be greatly reduced and Amsterdam would lose some tourist income (I'd be more than happy with that).

Drugs same thing. I don't know any dutch people that consume on a regular basis but almost all the tourists that I know and meet going to Amsterdam can't wait to get stoned.
That's a pretty rare story though. It could have very easily ended up with her either dead or pushed to use drugs. Think of her as the lucky exception in a long long string of girls that tried the same thing and that ended up being eaten by 'the life'. I have not one but two nieces that ended up like that and where once they were bright and healthy girls they are now shadows.
That is privilege to some countries, rest of the countries are just like what I wrote. There is even songs that tell how German officers behave in the border. You may not understand this as an insider, but you need to listen others instead of ignoring.
There's the secondary effects of missed optimisations too: if every operation is checked for overflow, there's much less scope for reordering/collapsing/vectorising operations, (this is also especially important in tight loops where the core loop can easily be less than 20 instructions, so 2 extra is significant).
Security Issues in Swift: What the New Language Did Not Fix
I saw a scholar conference about the subject a number of years ago, and they demonstrated that if you irradiate a piece of cloth you can completely distort the C14 readings (obviously). We don't know what printed the face on the Shroud of Thurin, but it's not paint because it's far thinner than what humans could even think of applying during the Middle Ages, so the "fake painting" hypothesis was ruled out since then. Furthermore, I think there were fabric analysis done to confirm that it was definitely something from about the Roman era in terms of quality and material.

I'll try to find some sources if you are interested in the subject.

Node-Red is one of the most useful applications that I have installed recently.

In my case, I have several low cost wireless temperature measuring sensors (http://shop.ciseco.co.uk) mixing data with an openweathermap feed sending data to emoncms and other systems. Also connected are wireless buttons (ciseco again) on the washing machine linked to node-red that sends a pushbullet alert when the timer is up.

21 Resources to Make You a Better Entrepreneur
When I last looked at Julia (as a candidate for writing a bioinfo. tool) it seemed a really appealing alternative to prototyping first in Python and then Cythonizing to gain speed, in that code would only have to be written once and no stitching together would be required. Ultimately, I decided against using it because it seemed packaging of binaries wasn't quite there yet (e.g., one would have to download Julia and then download my code to run it). Is this something that's likely to be addressed in 0.4? Was my understanding of the situation accurate?

I'm not downvoting because I disagree. I'm downvoting because you're spouting a bunch of blatantly Orientalist "the four nations lived in harmony, but everything changed when the ~~Fire Nation~~ West attacked" bullcrap.

When you talk about the "rich Eastern world" of pre-industrial history, you are primarily talking about civilizations who considered Europe too poor and ignorant to colonize or exploit when, after all, they could be colonizing and exploiting each-other.
I'd be interested to see if the United States has actually "deindustrialized" in the sense of doing less material production, in terms of either metric tons of goods or dollar value, or whether it has just specialized in cutting the labor force while keeping production levels high.

Mind, I also find the prominence of "back to the land!" sentiments extremely worrisome.
I'm asking for the source of your claim that implementing basic income would make no difference whatsoever.

Sure, some prices would rise. Basic income needs to be continuously calibrated relative to the cost of basic living. That said, I don't see any good reason to expect that the price of say food would rise beyond people's ability to buy. Western countries already produce way more food than is necessary, so supermarkets end up throwing a lot away. With increased demand there would be increased production of food, clothes, and other essential items.

Market forces would still be in effect, so rent prices would reach a new equilibrium. As long as there are more apartments than people, rents would stay at a level that people could afford (or the empty apartments would lower rents until people could afford to live there). If there are not enough apartments, more would be built in cheap locations to satisfy demand. Sure, basic income wouldn't make everyone able to live in New York, but that's not the goal.
It's not about what those languages allow, it's about how developers use them. You very rarely see C software distributed this way.

Go developers only distribute their open source software in a way that you only have to take the source, compile it, and run it, without having to worry about dependencies.
The author states they were shocked at how Sinclair seemed to get off easy, with just a slap on the wrist. I'm not sure why that's shocking.

Michigan might have higher standards, but most of the assistance is underfunded (Indiana county offices would run out of money mid-year at times) and the cutoffs are low enough in some states that working full time at minimum wage is enough money to be denied help. There are a few crisis places, but they aren't exactly well known, especially if you are newly 'poor'. Once i lacked transportation, I couldn't even get to some of the places, and my experience has been that utility companies do not offer much outside of what is legally required (did short collections for a phone company; What you got depended on state laws where you lived).

Detroit, you are correct, has unique problems. I think reloction might work for some people, but it is hard to say where to put people. I often wonder what the residents would do to the neighborhoods and city if money wasn't an issue, but unfortunately that isn't going to help people have utilities or street lighting or things like that.

Granted, I don't have actual solutions either. I support socialist policies because from what I can see, they work, at least better than the patchwork of assistance that is available in the US. Even with that in mind, it all comes down to money, and the only ways I can see to fix it involve money and someone or another is going to complain that they are 'losing'.
No economic system is an island anymore. First, where do you get the supply of money to provide basic income to everyone? Seeing that most western countries and knee deep in debt, I guess you mean printing money then? Inflation would then go rampant, leading to rising prices, and rising commodity prices for everything that is not produced in the said country. Depending where you are that could have a very big impact on your daily purchasing power.

And then you'd have to raise prices again because your "basic income" is not basic anymore to sustain paying for rents, for stuff more than bare minimum. In other words, more debts.

That's a simplified explanation of what would be going on, but it gives a general idea of why it would not work so well in practice, and why it's not sustainable.

By the way in most countries you have a "basic income" already for people who have no resources whatsoever (not for everyone in society) - it's very limited but that's enough to buy food usually. The idea is nothing new.
May be. But it is an issue for the C developers that choose to link with it, need to sort out.

Not an excuse for the lack of understanding, that static compilation is a standard feature that any language compiler to native code usually provides.
Clean drinking water is not a technical issue - as pointed out downthread, a cloth filter and boiling it on a fire will work and has done so for thousands of years.

Poverty and deprivation is tied up with a huge range if issues, from water table effects to climate change to local politics and public health and education and ... Well, if the infrastructure existed to build a million of these frames and organise water to be brought to them and then handed out to those without clean water, then any number of other technologies could easily substitute.

So not saying that supplying ten thousand of these to villages whose water tables just moved five miles won't be a fantastic use of our dollars, it's just that seems a small effect.

There is a good ted talk on tackling poverty amount at Maori I can't find it though. It walks through a lot of these issues.
