It would also be great if we could have chance to see lightnings with some(I don't know how) light effects on the picture when it is on. Just an idea.. Great job by the way!
I am trying to say, while you are giving people what they need, also you are(or others) saying that to people what they have is not enough and they need more to survive.
But of course people would motivated more if they didn't have to think about their necessities.
> Our welfare system is not yet currently capable of providing people with the basic necessities: food, shelter, clothing, clean water, healthcare, education, and equal access to opportunities.
Even if the welfare system was capable of giving these, people would want more. We can examine this by looking current people model. Their desire to earn more is not decreasing when they reach the minimum or optimum level of necessities.
I think the problem is life standards that emphasized to us by ads. The goal will be always higher than our necessities. Because, this is the only way to keep alive current economic system, balance of production and consumption.
So, I don't believe giving more to people solves anything. But I do believe, people's desire should be left to themselves by standing a position against all ads or things serve to this purpose.
This is nice introduction for someone just beginning gcc like compilers. For example I would use this back then when I started to use avr-gcc. It doesn't have to be cross-platform or need any other super complex fancy things. It just needs few extra rules and some basic stuffs. Make is great choice for this kind of things.
Length of life or quality of life, I don't think these are parallel to each other all the time. I would prefer to quality, so as long as I am convinced to quality of my life, dying early should not be a problem because of my sleep too much or less.
