There’s a lovely story[1] from the early days of personal computing:

“GO.COM contained no program bytes at all – it was entirely empty. However, because GO.COM was empty, but still a valid program file as far as CP/M was concerned (it had a directory entry and file-name ending with .com), the CP/M loader, the part of the OS whose job it is to pull programs off disk and slap them into the TPA, would still load it!

So, how does this help? Well, using the scenario above:

• the user exited WordStar
• the user ran DIR (or whatever else they needed) and at some future point would be ready to re-run Wordstar
• the user now ‘loaded’ and ran GO.COM
• the loader would load zero bytes of the GO.COM program off disk into the TPA – starting at address 0100h – and then jump to 0100h – to run the program it just loaded [GO.COM]!
• result – it simply re-ran whatever was in the TPA when the user last exited to DOS – instantly [WordStar in this example]!

So, GO.COM, which consisted of zero bytes of code – and sold for £5 a copy is, I figure, the most profitable program ever written (as any other program will return mathematically fewer £s per byte than GO.COM did)!”

Land hasn't changed, but the right to own it certainly did. In the late roman republic state owned some land but most of it was owned by large estates of slave owners. And working the land or being in the military was mostly the only way to make a living.

So land was a much more important commodity, therefore I don't think you can't compare it reasonably with today.

Very interesting project, integrating all these different libraries. One thing, I noticed that you are using a hardcoded path to the json. Created an issue for you https://github.com/minimaxir/magic-the-gifening/issues/2. Thanks for sharing your work.
That's an interesting argument I hadn't heard before. It's a good point. Is it less consumerist? Probably, because you're paying for only precisely what you need, and the odds of getting something you don't need (and never will use) are far lower.

With his insulting Tweets and derogatory remarks, Trump is creating local pressure and strong incentives for foreign politicians not to negotiate anything with him. That doesn't seem very productive. And that is on top of some already existing massive unpopularity.

Take Mexico, for example. Making derogatory remarks about a whole country and its people makes it almost impossible for any politician of that country to negotiate without risking to loose a substantial amount of voters. It's a real diplomatic problem, which is aggravated by the fact that many countries are still trying to figure out whom they can reach in the US diplomatic chain in order to get any reliable reply.
It's not so easy without upsetting established political conventions.

If those change though it becomes a lot easier to do.
I enjoyed how you've painted a bleak view of the past, not mention any of the nice things about times gone by and then pretend people longing for simpler times is a kind of ignorance.

> Doesn't Switzerland have high productivity and wealth?

No, Switzerland salaries have been rising a lot in the past 20 years, but labour productivity has been slowly but steadily going down.

Most of the salaries are high compared to siblings western countries (for example Italy, where I come from) but they are just enough to live in Switzerland.

So the answer is no: not everybody needs to work 40 hours a week, they just need to work enough to gain a basic income that's enough to have a decent life.

In Zurich a 40 sm (430 square foot) costs between 1.600 and 2.300 euros/month.

In Italy that's a very good salary.
And you can rent a house of more than 100 sm (1,000 sf) in the centre of a big city like Rome or Milan.

Switzerland recently rejected the idea of an UBI set at 2,500 Swiss francs/month =~ 2.100 euros, in Italy for many families that's around 2 salaries.

Imagine being Swiss, having more than 2 thousand euros of UBI from your country and living in Italy. A family of 2 could afford a villa in Como lake, next to George Clooney have his.

The same can be said for someone receiving an UBI in Bay Area and Missisipi.

Making it work is already very hard, making it right is next to impossible.

>I have also heard that Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews use the Allah to refer to God in their religions, but I have not fact-checked it.

I can confirm this. We say "Allah." The advent of Islam into the global public awareness has created a lot of confusion about Middle Eastern cultures, e.g. I frequently hear "Allah is the name of the Muslims' God." But it is in fact a more generic word, exactly analogous to "God" with a capital G.

Actually, contrary to your claim, bonobos do wage war against each other. They behave very similarly to chimpanzees and humans, as they form coalitions and organize attacks to exterminate rival groups.

It appears that some people prefer to focus on a very specific behavioral trait pinned on bonobos (having sex with group members to diffuse conflicts) just because it fits their preconceived notion of an ideal outcome involving absence of conflicts in general and war in particular. Some people even pin the name "hippie ape" in what looks like a desperate attempt to validate their personal ideals. Yet, bonobos are indeed known for organizing attacks on neighboring primate groups for the express purpose of killing and even eating them.

Right. For example, so-called "assault rifles" were banned outright in California in 1989. One estimate I've seen is that about 10% of them were turned in, which of course leaves 90% of them still out there. A law that only manages to eke out 10% compliance in California is highly unlikely to be effective anywhere else in the country.

While you have a point, I think the alternative, traditional option of meeting people out in the real world is rarely efficient and often closer to wishful thinking.

While I consider my social skills just fine, I'm simply not the type of person that takes action when meeting interesting, attractive people - there are just too many barriers, questions and uncertainties. Obstacles that are easily avoided when using Tinder or similar services - from there it's just conversation and up to both participants to make the most of it. I'd say the medium is irrelevant at that point.

As other have pointed out elsewhere what matters here is not much the performance of the language but how much you can avoid calling IO code by making the path as straightforward as possible. You can get comparable performance ( 6.5 GB/s vs 8. GB/s on my machine) with 10 lines of python code, which probably took me the same time to write as the original rust version.
The 40% is to keep supermarkets stocked. Isn't it weird that in supermarkets you can always get what you want? That availability MEANS that there is a huge amount of waste because when someone doesn't buy it, it spoils (this is why France passed the law to force supermarkets to give food to the homeless).
The 40% was from an EU report into it a couple of years ago. AFAIK we still (we definitely used to do this, not sure if we still do) dump excess agricultural output into the freaking ocean as opposed to crashing the international markets by dumping our surplus there. All of that waste is INSANE.

It doesn't matter if you have to pay for electricity and water because you can easily earn enough money to leave both the lights and taps on all day. That doesn't make it right.

The point is that if we start calling other people hypocrites that road leads to the realisation that everyone in the west is a degree of hypocrite. We're in this together to a greater or lesser extent.

It would be a very bad thing. I suspect that you don't have the faintest idea how bad it could be.

lol no.. my point was that it wasn't as fast as i would expect a service from mozilla to run and broadband connections here are a lot faster. Second, it wasn't a complaint, just an observation.

And if you really think one 'https' enabled webserver software on a home subscriber cable/dsl connection is much faster then the other for a single download, then i will have to inform you that you are mistaken.

And setting up a simple webserver to exchange files isn't that hard at all. To say file sharing is cumbersome is a bit stretching the truth.

If you can't find one, ask for a recommendation from an architect or perhaps an office furniture shop that sells aeron chairs and/or sit/stand desks with motors.

I'm not a lawyer, nor an expert in this but I have seen this happening. In my opinion it all comes down to what the non-competition clause states in the contract. I've seen cases where it was as broad as "in the automation domain" and also very specific like "in the domain of EDA tools development". In the first case the judge might not even consider the clause because it is clearly a treat to your freedom (you cannot do anything else). In the second case you are pretty much tied to it.

Be careful because if you were working for an EDA company the defense can state that the semiconductor company (customer) hired you to develop the same automation tools internally (potentially saving them money in the future), and that's competition.

PS: I have a friend who recently got hired on a direct competitor of our company (EDA x EDA). Apparently he (and his lawyer) proved to the judge that he is working in a project that is completely different from what my company does, so far so good for him. But since the clause only works for a definite period time (1 year), he can potentially change to do whatever he wants after this time. So it also depends on how good your lawyer is.... Also, the company that hired him knew of the issue and is supporting him with its own lawyers.

GDP might be useful for comparing what happened this year to what happened last year, but It's hard to see it making sense for comparison between times or places that are significantly different.

For one example of how the comparison breaks down, consider the cost of adding up a page full of numbers in 1950 vs. today. In 1950, you'd need to hire an accounting clerk. Nowadays it's essentially free.
In 1950, the clerk would have added the value of his labour to GDP, Today, the computer doing the same job contributes little or nothing.

The same problem crops up everywhere. If I develop a $1000/month treatement for hepatitis, I might add a vast amount to GDP. If I develop a $5 one-off cure, not so much.

GDP can't 'see' goods and services that are so cheap to produce that they're practically free.

In England, Chris :-) Scotland is different.

We have a module system, and depending on their topic people have some freedom to pick courses outside their main degree during their first 2 years. (We do 4 years, not 3). I did a module on Philosophy of Science during my Computer Science degree, for instance - pretty interesting.

That said, I haven't heard people complain about classes being full in the same way that they seem to in the USA. I don't know why. Maybe it was because I was in science not arts and there were very few overly popular science classes :-) But across the whole uni, I only heard of a few classes that were so popular they were turning people away. I think one of them prioritised by who was doing that course as their main degree. But I generally heard of very few conflicts, so I don't know what was different. Maybe arts students have a different story?
