As a broad approximation from the results of The Computer Language Benchmarks Game, Racket is 5 times faster than Python and 5 times slower than C. https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... (I can't find a direct comparison of Python-vs-Racket in the site.)

The difference with Python is probably bigger in programs with a big numeric part, and much smaller in programs with a lot of string. Take that number just as a general guide, not as a precise scaling factor.
I really am excited about the idea of incorporating physical properties of the environment into the Blockchain as they suggest here. Seems like that solves the problem of Oracle data in a much more reliable way, since network data is ephemeral while environment data can be corroborated later with multiple sources.
There are enough non-zero-sum effects in economics that this isn't plainly apparent to me. It seems like quite a claim, really. For instance, I find it plausible that cheap labor from overseas may actually help subsidize the creation of an industry, which might grow enough to need more employees in the US for related work.
I'm confused about was whether my old manager would have been successful in the long term, and whether the company really needed somebody to install process.

A certain amount of process is useful. Most process is bullshit. Sadly, too often a company takes some dumbshit that passed the CSM certification class, and who knows bugger-all about actually creating software, and puts that person in charge of the software process. This is a recipe for failure in basically every regard. And unless you have major political clout (eg, are the son of the company CEO, etc.) your best option is to leave and try to find a less dysfunctional place to work.

It's been addressed on MMM:

http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/04/09/what-if-everyone-b...

The key quote: "If an entire society gradually decides that it wants to consume less, then it needs to produce less as well.

If there is less stuff that needs to be produced, then people don’t have to work as many hours to create it. That’s perfect, because many people will be dropping out of the workforce much earlier as they finish earning the money they need to get going on their early retirement. The shortage of available work will be balanced by the reduced number of people willing to do that work."
I lowkey wonder how much memory is consumed, on average, by the extra string info in map-heavy languages like JS and Python, and how much CPU time is spent on strings there. While C doesn't need too many strings and mostly throws around numbers, a Node.js app may easily be dealing with thousands of them, not even counting HTML and templates.

(And now I also wonder if any compilers and VMs precompute hashes for map and object keys.)

Yes, but money doesn't just "sit in a bank account." It's being used to lend other people money, start new businesses, help other businesses expand, etc. So, it's actually contributing to the economy and "being spent" in the capitalistic system, isn't it? It's just not "spent" by the people "holding it in their account", but by the bank or whatever institution is "holding" it.

I'm confused as to why you suddenly brought up MKBHD.

Or why you think Marques should in any way be compared to Anandtech given they serve completely different purposes. MKBHD is a fun, light hearted Youtuber designed for a quick watch often whilst you're doing something else. Anandtech is a multi-page, detail focused review where you often need to block a half hour to read through. The two simply aren't comparable.

> As with all copyright related issues, the application of hilariously outdated rules onto modern situations never cease to amaze.

What do you view as the justification for having copyright before modern situations, and what about modern situations makes that justification no longer applicable?

Most of the time I hear arguments that some older law is outdated in modern times, the underlying human and economic relations that the law is dealing with have not changed. All that has usually changed is that it is now easier to violate the law. That usually strengthens the case for the law, not weakens it.

For example, I've seen arguments that libel laws are outdated when applied to online forums, comment sections, mailing lists, and similar. (Reminder: libel is written defamation, as opposed to slander, which is spoken defamation). Due to those outlets, compared to a few decades ago a much bigger fraction of our communication is in writing. It's also much more informal now, more off the cuff, and more often with people we do not have an in person relationship with. This makes it a lot easier to commit libel.

If the basis of libel laws is that it is wrong to intentionally falsely damage the reputation of someone else, then the technology changes over the last few decades do not change that. If it was wrong to make some accusation in a printed flyer posted around your town, it is is wrong to make the same accusation posted to Facebook.

On the other hand, we might justify libel law as a way to limit the power that comes with access to printing presses. When producing and distributing printed material was expensive, those who owned the presses or those wealthy enough to afford to hire them would have a lot of influence over public opinion. Libel laws would put some restraint on that power.

If that is how we justify libel, then you can make a case that it should not apply online because there is much more equal access. (I'm not sure, but I think historically the justification for libel law is the "wrong to intentionally falsely damage" justification, not the "power restraint" justification).

True, Vancouver features pretty highly internationally as a desirable city to live in. But there are lots of desirable cities abroad that aren't nearly as crazy expensive. There are no affordable and really desirable cities in Canada - Halifax is perhaps the closest, but that still falls pretty short of the mark (apologies to people from Halifax, but that's my opinion.)

Nice article, thanks for sharing that! I also liked this tidbit from the linked paper (http://www.vtpi.org/whoserd.pdf):

> Critics sometimes argue that walking and cycling primarily provide recreational travel [...] “Why should I— either as a highway user-tax payer or a general taxpayer—have to pay for someone else’s hobby?”

> Travel surveys indicate that about half of all [cycling/walking] is “recreational,” including travel for exercise, sport and cultural events, and socializing (Kuzmyak and Dill 2012; Litman 2012), but so is more than half of all motor vehicle travel (BTS 2002). [emphasis mine]
I don't really buy this argument. By that logic, collectible cars should not be worth much because new ones are just at good for driving, and collectible cars are seldom driven anyway. Homes outside of the cramped Bay Area and central New York are pretty big.
It isn't my intent to lecture, but to speak my truth. I don't presume to speak for others; I simply know my experience taking disempowering stances in the past and am sharing that perspective because nobody ever told me I could live life the way I am now. I found this path through my own privileged sabbatical from the world as I recovered from porn/gaming/media/sex/love/sugar/anxiety/information addiction on my parents' dime. I don't think such a break from the world is required to break from societal programming because it's possible for someone to learn from my experience if they're open to doing so.

I'm building my science "career" outside of academia for these reasons. I put "career" in quotes because I'm not sure if this word fits for me: science is part of my personal spirituality, ie. how I connect with the world around me & I don't know how you define career. I don't need academia for sustainable living because I've worked hard to develop a giving and supportive community. We share a lot of our things and expenses. It's most certainly not the norm and took a lot of work to abandon the scarcity mentalities of the world, especially around money.

It's my intention to share how I live and what I've learned from it, and not to tell anyone how to live. I'm saying everyone literally has a choice every moment, even when there's a gun to their head. I don't fault or judge anyone for their decisions in the face of coercive systems. I had to realize I can have everything I need without using money and that took me decades of struggling within these highly codependent systems before realizing I could trust myself and others to meet my needs. I still use money because some things are harder to share than others in a small town of 9000, like gasoline.

Interdependent living requires massive mental shifts from cultural norms. I'm pursuing my career without a single degree to my name and am loving every moment of it. I'm more privileged and free than most people, despite the little money I have. Several of my friends are doing the same. Some come from privileged families, some don't. Freedom from money is possible and hard af. It doesn't require not having any or giving what you have away.

There's always another way. When I choose to believe there isn't, science says (& my experience confirms) I'm engaging cognitive biases in my brain/mind that'll keep me from seeing alternative paths. This led me to realize learning to choose my beliefs wisely is a skill progression necessary for crafting the life I want for myself.

I like to say "there's no wrong ways, only long ways." I think I've figured out quicker ways to achieve internal changes leading to dramatic external effects than society teaches/enables/encourages. In the future, they may wind up being long ways. If you choose to not believe anything I'm saying or otherwise dismiss it as lecturing or whatever, ok. You do you & I'll do me.

In the meantime, citizen science exists. I invite the refugees of capitalist academia's psychosocial enslavement to free themselves of their bonds and transform into more free researchers.

Have you considered the inequities that such a retention policy introduces into HOW history can be used?

The entrepreneurial (and governments) will archive everything to serve the wealthy (including governments), who will be able to use history to their ends. Those without resources will live in an eternal present, except where history is used against them.

To sell this kind of retention policy as a user-protecting feature is (in my view) at best naive, and at worst, disingenuous. This model increases the economic cost of mining history, but in doing so, entrenches existing wealth and power structures.

Thanks to the ever-decreasing cost-per-bit of storage, the internet is forever. The only hope for redemption lies in this permanence affecting everyone equally; otherwise we're doomed to (continue to) live in a world where only the wealthy and politically connected have read and write access to history.
Is it, though? Nowadays we keep asking for higher standards, better infrastructures, better access to utilities, communications, commute, etc. Me parents could easily afford a house just after getting married... a house I'm weary of setting foot in, not even remotely built to code, with infrastructures cobbled together over the years.

Maybe a 4x price increase is indeed excessive, but building a house like it was possible 50+ years ago, would be just illegal.

> The character \0 marks the end so we call this zero-termination. [...] The only advantage of this representation is space efficency.

Sort of a tangent, but zero termination (aka null termination) can make parsing from a string slightly simpler.

Without a null terminator, in addition to processing each character, you need to check if you've hit the end of the string. With a null terminator, the end-of-input checking is elegantly part of the "processing each character" step.

You can always add a null terminator character to the end of your string in the length+data representations as well, but if your strings don't come that way you end up having to make a full copy.
Slightly related: Lua will intern every string ever created, that is two strings are equal if and only if their pointers (as represented internally) are identical. This results in slow string creation, but very fast equality checking and lookups, as it converts the problem to comparing integers.

I write a lot. (It's a good part of my job.) I basically can't write in the evening and really haven't since college. (I did code in the evening for a number of years when I had a shareware business.)

Ideally, I have coffee/breakfast, take care of any outstanding items that have to be dealt with, and start writing for most of the day. That's a constructive day. In practice, I often have time getting into the flow and end up doing "research" for at least some of the morning before buckling down to what really has to get done.

Our business model was to help people find apartments and also acquire evidence that we really had. We'd then ask the apartment owner for a finder's fee, and pass $100 to the renter.

To do this we needed to present the apartment owner with evidence that we really were the ones to find the renter. Which means that we needed all of the touch points. And we also needed to help renters find an apartment then tell us. (We had data indicating that only half of renters we placed actually came back to us to tell us so that we knew to tell the apartment owner to pay up.)

We needed the email both as a login to track and tie back to that user, and to send people apartment listings and convince them to report their lease to get the $100.

So emails weren't actually the core product. But they were very, very important.
That's mixing realities though. Building a house from 30 years ago is pretty much up to code today. It was a modern house in all the ways you'd expect.

The population density of Copenhagen is comparable to the density of Queens.
