My family had a copy of Graphical Adventure Creator too, I similarly failed to produce anything of note but I do remember having a lot of fun playing around with it and trying to design screens.
I, rightly or wrongly, attribute my love of computers to playing around on the family CPC, I really want to encourage that in my kids but I don't know what the equivalent is - I'm pretty sure it's not buying them a tablet, Raspberry Pi 500 maybe?
I might have misunderstood your comment but I don't think that's what htmx does, it just adds reactivity without needing to write JS, the HTML is represented in the project using Hiccup syntax which is essentially HTML in Clojure data structures - makes sense when code is data is a big part of the Lisp idea. It is an external template file into which you can replace fields, it's just a Clojure file too.
I'm fairly sure that they do do it in California, San Francisco Sourdough is a whole bread style, they have world-famous bakeries and the crust definitely isn't an issue https://tartinebakery.com/
Expensive is okay, we're talking about eradicating poverty, as first world nations we should be judged on how well we look after the most vulnerable in society, not on how wealthy the 1% can get.
US population is what, 300 million, ~75% of that are adults, multiplied by something like $35,000 is what, 8 trillion? The top 1% have a wealth of 35 trillion, US GDP is around 24 trillion - is it acceptable to spend 1/3rd of your GDP on eradicating poverty and creating a more equal society?
What paltry amount are we discussing? The concept of UBI is that it pays a living wage, enough to feed, clothe and house someone. It might not eradicate wealth inequality but it definitely narrows the gap/reduces it.
I'm assuming you accept that the poor are getting poorer and the wealthy are getting wealthier - how do you propose to stop that without UBI?
> In the end, it will lead to a grossly impoverished class of UBI recipients who will work 6 days a week for $3.25 an hour to supplement their meagre UBI.
I don't know how to break this to you, but surely you know there is already a grossly impoverished group of people working 6 days a week for $3.25 an hour without UBI.
If you add the UBI to their income they'll be hugely better off and they might even be able to choose between working those 6 days or staying at home and looking after their children, or caring for an elderly relative without the risk of being made homeless, or being unable to afford food for their family.
We're not ignoring the issue, we just don't think the issue is the same one you do.
The main issue in the world at the moment is income inequality, the things that you are listing stem from that, you can't fix education inequality without first addressing the income issue - UBI proposes that we tackle the source of the problem rather than trying to patch things up downstream
My Dad was once gifted a Silva compass which he gave to me to take on a Boy Scout expedition, everyone was baffled by the fact it had 400 "degrees" marked on it.
I remember doing this too, it unlocked the multiplier which they locked at the factory by slicing through some metal blocks with a laser. My Duron 600 would run at 800 with a normal cooler & fan, then I added a really loud Delta fan and a copper heatsink and it was stable at a magical 1Ghz. Eventually I got cocky enough to solder a resistor between a certain pin on the motherboard and earth which effectively increased all the voltage settings in the BIOS so I could push enough voltage through it to run at 1.2Ghz - it ran like this for years as my only PC. Good times :)
I think the GP is referring to the use of interfaces with only one implementing class, rather than interfaces with no implementing class. i.e. you end up creating a UserProvider and UserProviderImpl for every service class you write.
OP is probably referring to the JDK Proxy support which is used by Spring and requires classes to implement at least one interface.
