@FrodoSwaggins @Wozza365 😧 first you have to have lots of RAM on devices and then you can create apps that use it. Of course if you put apps that are optimized for low ram they won't change their performance if they have more...

Optimizing for low ram is inferior than optimizing for low CPU and IO. Both CPU and IO (network / flash drive access) take more energy and are significantly slower than caching stuff in RAM so adding more memory and give developers the incentive to "waste" ram in order to save IO/CPU cycles will benefit us.

It depends on your process, the number of people working in your team, the number of QA assigned to you weather or not you are doing a/b testing how many simultaneous features you are working on the same time if you have a technical writer on your team that supervises texts... Your way is the standard for mid size projects. For fast pasing small team prototyping it's an overkill.

My big sister was the one that got my into programming and showed me how cool it is. She was about 13 I was about 10 now it's 20 years later, she now works at a global French company and I'm starting a startup, I wish she would have joined me...

@Alice @speedForce don't laugh at HTML. In a few years there will be an explosion of development on HTML making it a server side, IoT, space travel and time machine language (just like what's happening to JS now 😅)

Seems like a nice approach to parallelism, but does it have advantages over c++ in other areas?

@osmarks any functional paradigm will leave all unturned stones unturned...

Materialized views FTW

I don't think he meant "or else" as a threat but as some bad Google translate of "or something else"...

@cowsay I know Marxism... I don't agree with the"means of production" statement... It doesn't understand how actual value is created nowadays. I can have all the"means of production" and the labor that I want... If I don't market right, innovate in the right direction I will fail at "creating wealth"

@cowsay owning natural resources or land aside (that's not what produces most welth nowdays) how would you manage a factory or a high tech company differently than what's happening today? Each company spreads it's income based on what it earns? Equally (the cleaning lady earns like a programmer)? No income at all (won't work in a global market)?
Also with natural resources, why would a dimond miner earn more than a coal miner assuming they do the same work?

@cowsay that's a really nerrow point of view. It's like saying a manufacturing robot alone creates the product so he should rule the factory.

@cowsay and you think they will not be corrupted by their newfound power? Because what? They remember where they come from? I don't think that's how it works... And even it will work what kind of welth share do you want them to do? Take all the rich people's assets and throw it at the people? Economy doesn't work that way, especially in global market where you want to be able to import goods (when you want your currency to have an international value)

@cowsay what people? A government consists of millions of people?

@cowsay BTW I'm all for killing unborn babies at will.

@cowsay Brazil is a sad story... Corrupt government is not capitalism or socialism, it's favoritism...
But since you know you have a corrupt government why do you think salvation will come from giving them more power through socialist regulations?

@cowsay as the final never reached goal :)

@theCalcaholic automation will help remove the need for cheap labor so there will no longer be a need for poor country exploitation.
UBI removes the need for social security and many of the government social facilities thus makes the public sector much smaller. It will also remove minimum wage and other rules that hinder establishing a company. Sounds capitalist to my ears.

@Bitwise I'm my mind the government establishment is too easily corruptible and even if the current leaders are ok the next ones might not be (because of agenda, greed or stupidity) so removing as much power from central authority can ensure fuckups will have limited effect.

@Bitwise in my mind capitalism emphasize on freedom of choice which UBI enables. Socialism emphasize on the "greater good" and contributing to an engineered society.

@Bitwise I'm actually all for universal basic income (said it in a previous comment) but I think it can work great in a capitalist society

@kenogo people contribute to open source because it gives free mentorship and training. Also pumps up the CV and many owned by businesses or foundations that actually pay developers or get big donations from interested parties.

@kenogo is it that bad that in order to have "individuality" you have to prove yourself and work hard?
What kind of self expression does your model give?

@kenogo it's not true anymore in today's technology. An individual can be a freelancer designer, programmer, marketer, writer, Uber driver and most other professions and doesn't have to rely on an employer. If you are saying that the common worker is not able to create a business, how to you suggest he manage himself?

@theCalcaholic I agree but it should be in context, like mein campf. Marxsism is a propoganda campain aimed to empower the regime at the expense of the individual. This doctorine caused the biggest crimes against humanity in the last decade (Soviet Russia, North Korea, China, Venezuela...)

@kenogo you are forgetting that factories and businesses are built. And they require "self investment" to keep innovating and growing. Do the money can't just be shared between workers, it's against the interest of the entire company. What if the workers want to hire another maintenance worker, how will they calculate how much he should earn if not through the free market price? Company owners have risks you don't know about, many times they go to extreme debt to save their company, business owners that take most of the company money are either very good at this jobs or the company is destined to collapse.

@theCalcaholic I'm going to sleep now but one argument I missed against the monopoly of the state over education is that racism and marxsism we're considered scientific at the time.

@QCat you should be happier to meet nice coherent minds with the opposite view to diversify and challenge your stance :)

@kenogo the fact that it won't help them? A small group of them will have to manager it instead and it will be the same or worse.... The easiest thing to do is just quit and join a better paying place...

@cowsay it's never all or nothing... I could say that even though you like welfare you don't want to have drafts for forced labor or your property confescated by the state for the greater good.
A government has no incentive to be efficient or effective, the only incentive is to be popular by the eyes of the majority. This causes a really huge inefficient systems that do nothing and strain the economy. The government needs to be as slim as possible and meddle as little as possible in private people's lives.
