> people in Austin have been complaining about change in the city since at least 1884

It's not like the rich screwing over the poor is a new thing


They're probably hoping you'll just have to do that once in your lifetime, then as they aquire or embrace, extend and extinguish all competitors you're forever logged in to everything you'll ever need to be.


I always loved using VLC, but I watch a lot of tv shows and as far as I know there's never been a good way to remember playlist position (except from some plugin I never got to work). Has this ever been a feature you have considered adding?

And what if it did? What if we gave every person the money and assets equivalent of the richest man on earth, 113 billion dollars [1]. Now Bezos would only be about twice as rich as the average person. Instead of being 1.13 million times as rich as the average household in the US [0]. Surely the prices would skyrocket, but now we're at a more even playing field.

Surely Bezos would adjust his prices as well, increasing his profit and leaving the playing fields very similar to what they are now


That's why I included assets in the proposition, and not just the money. He would still have the ability to earn about twice as much as others given he also will be given the same amount of assets as the rest of the people.

edit: Which kinda makes it a bad comparison to UBI I guess. Maybe what we need is more than just money for UBI, but also a distribution of assets.


In before someone comments: "But chances are you are not the person who needs something as complicated as TS therefore it's useless." and "If your code is more than a thousand lines then you're doing it wrong, all code should be <1000 lines that you throw out immediately and replace with new code".


Now imagine doing that same thing for every system you're programming on. And then imagine having to do it for a million different symbols. I'm sure as hell glad you're not in charge of any of this.


> Now imagine doing that same thing for every system you're programming on.

As a matter of fact, I already do, the XCompose way.

  yadm clone /path/to/dotfiles/repo.git¹
As for the vim way, why would I use a system without vim²?

> And then imagine having to do it for a million different symbols.

I don’t know other symbols as useful as this, but sure, either of my solutions scales fine (`yadm clone` shouldn’t get bogged down by any repo smaller than the Linux kernel’s). My system's /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose already has a section for APL’s symbols out of the box.

¹yadm is dumb by the way, any symlink manager + git/hg is probably better

²As it so happens, I do: because vim is bloat and https://sr.ht/~martanne/vis/ fits much better in the ramdisk my OS always runs in — but I’d bet 99.99% ±0.009% of programmers install their OS on an HDD/SSD and don’t care.


A better solution is just to use the word 'lambda', and let your text editor render it as a lambda symbol if you want (my emacs does this).


No, that's a shithouse solution.

Everyone that doesn't have a fancy IDE now has 6-8 extra useless characters for something that should be syntax.


How is it different than the word "function"?


It's not, that's why people use arrow syntax in languages like Javascript for short in-lined functions.


I'm not sure how it is on Mac, but on Windows if you've ever used an app that can block network connections, and limit other applications. What is to stop any other app on your computer doing the exact same thing. As far as I've understood any app has access to any other app and the whole environment is just a warzone of apps where you have to trust every app completely to be okay with running it.


I can't seem to play it, only buttons available are "Login" and "Register".



It's 99% actual 12 year old who somehow managed to set up a robinhood account. Not even joking, if you read some of the comments in the threads you can just tell.


If you'd like some feedback there's one/two things that stood out to me.

When you click on the pricing page your navigation bar becomes a mobile style one, those are usually only shown if the screen width is small like on mobile.

When you click on the live demo page you get a back button top left thing that seems like it belongs to a mobile app, on a desktop where the screen is wider this design choice seems a bit odd.

I'm guessing this stuff comes from still being in a bit of a learning phase with Vue or some library you're using. Otherwise great site, just something to look at in case you want to improve on it.


This is really useful. Thanks mate.
