Readit NewsI ask because I'm *very* interested in this, but am working on ARM
Edit - just to be clear why I'm interested. For me it matters not if Ruby is slow, until it does, which is usually a very specific and obvious piece of code.

Edit: I lived there 5 years ago and USD$1k per month would have been plenty, but a nomad website I just looked up lists it at $1250. I'm surprised by that, I think you would be fine. In fact I know people who live there who don't earn anything near $15k USD per year.
Provide UBI and health services and a lot of anxiety might go away.
Remove the need to toil in a bad workplace and a lot of depression might go away.
IMO something that I think would make a huge difference while also being realistically achievable is criminal justice reform. We cannot let prisons continue being factories for drug addicts and career criminals. There must surely be a better way than this.
So yea, I'm not sold either. No one really is until we get the hard truth. Nothing more complex (and chaotic) than society and it's economy. Good luck modelling and predicting that reliably ha!
According to a brief search, cattle represent about 3.3% of greenhouse gas emissions. Transportation is 29%, electricity is 25%.
Seems to me better logistics (not transporting stuff that needn't be transported) and better electricity generation is worth more trillions than cows burping.
Random thought experiment - how much should the global 'fund' be to attack greenhouse gas emissions. Not that it should be spent in proportion to % of total emissions, but I wonder what 3.3% of that number would be.
Say you spent 1T on cows, and spent it proportionally. That's a 30T fund overall. So around half from memory of what the US spent on the post 9/11 wars.
Do you want to count the number of violent rapes by year? Violent premeditated murders? Lets add violent robbery and assault by people have food and a place to stay, but are looking to level up and buy shiny things?
This is not a circumstance, and there are many 'bad people' out there.
I live in a country with next to no violent premeditated murders, next to no violent robbery. And a LOT of very poor people. But there is a public social safety net which you can't fall below. So no one is ever really desperate.
I understand if you're based in the US why you think this way, but it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
It just seems like if it was that simple then governments would be pouring billions - no TRILLIONS - of research dollars into this. Cattle are such a big part of greenhouse emissions that if this really had legs without some underlying problem it would be funded like a war effort.
A strong public mental health system.
Prescription drugs of every kind, heroin, meth, whatever. With the right counselling and support attached.
I might be an idiot but pretty sure most crime will just go away, then we can spend proper resources to help and support (and punish when needed) the few offenders who really struggle to stay within the rules of society.
There are a few genuinely 'bad people' out there. But it's vanishingly small. Most people do bad things because of their circumstances. Lets fix the root cause then we can get rid of most of the cops (i.e. the shit ones), & most of the jails.
I don't particularly want to start a debate here. I know it's not all so simple. Just dreaming.
Try making a package - it's one big repo and really easy to use another package as a starting point. I built a package for KiCad in a trivial amount of time.
