Operating systems are great abstractions. If the author ever wanted to build an actual application on top of kernel APIs they would appreciate things like boost or libc more. While not always perfect, the alternative of implementing purpose

Your understanding of universal income is broken. Everybody receives a monthly income, regardless of them working or not. The incentive to earn more by working is always there.

Pipe it through ChatGPT and create some nice long prose reports that nobody will read either, but that make you look like you spent hours on, if that's what your organization is rewarding.

You have a misconception about the workload of your typical database server. It's not about the amount of data it's storing, it's about 1. compute and memory bandwidth to serve complicated queries 2. IO You can't scale m

I think societies haven't really determined what is fair in these cases. To give you a counter example: Millions of young artists look at art museums and incorporate what they see and learn into their own art. Creators of the images th

Did you just argue against fair use in general? Everything you wrote applies to it as well. Copyright has limits, it's not like right holders get to determine what those are. It's a balance of rights of creators and users.

I'd rather spend my time at home with my kids than grocery shopping every other day. Sure that would make it easy to transport groceries on foot, but the mental load of remembering when to buy what would be much larger than just going

It's super easy to get groceries where I live but I still wouldn't want to go shopping multiple times per week. I'd rather spend time on other things.

Not having charging at home would make me not want to own an EV. The constant management of battery charges with the possibility to do permanent damage when charge gets too low would just be too much of a hassle.
