I don’t think that’s a totally fair comparison. I grew up with well water and a septic system a bit outside of a rural town, and it’s not practically much different from living with city water and sewage now. You just have to maintain those systems yourself. Now if you could access the internet by digging a well, that’d be golden :p

Totally agree about cities owning last-mile fiber. Though I think more than that would be needed for rural areas where folks might not live in city limits. That’s where fast internet is most needed. I think my folks still only get 3mbps down and much less up living about a half mile away from where the cable company run ends
It sounds to me like you'd be interested in Game Development literature.

Check out Real Time Rendering, Real Time Collision Detection, the Nvidia GPU Gems Series (they're free), the Graphics Codex.

These books are all very enjoyable.
May give this a try?

Growth for growth's sake sounds like cancer to me.

Sure, some examples of GDP growth are win-win, like the ones you've listed. But those improvements--when discovered--will happen whether or not people have growth as a goal. They're good ideas independently.

But making growth a goal on its own is a good way to wind up with more toll roads, more complexity that requires an industry to help citizens navigate it (e.g. realters, tax preparers), more cases where the consumer's decision making is tampered with (e.g. advertising, the sale of addictive things), and the creation of problems just so there will be a market for solutions thereto (e.g. Hallmark).

These are all cases of GDP growth that I think most of us can agree we'd be better off without.
I worry about go 2.0 and personally will revisit the question based on what the outcome looks like. Rust also seems to have good momentum and as an outsider glancing in, generally sane architectural decisions. It remains a language I would _like_ to consider on a future toy project if it fulfills the needs of the space.

I feel they will continue to be "supported" for a long time, like Perl 5 surely will be. (Though I'd avoid starting anything new in it, there are stable mature things written in it that, like with mainframe stuff mentioned elsewhere, might just end up being encapsulated.)
Data formats was one of the interesting benefits of RISCOS. Since there was a bitmap editor and a vector editor built into the ROM, any program where it made any kind of sense to could work with the vector format supported by the vector editor and the bitmap format supported by the system bitmap editor. As you point out, those standard interchange formats were definitely part of what and enabled and encouraged cross application workflows.
And if you want to try implementing them, consider using Godot as a base, or magnum.graphics if you want to be really hardcore about it.

Also, check out 2 Minute Papers on YouTube and then follow his sources. Enjoy!
Except this is more like studying same where you don't actually know what a cpu is let alone cache miss. It's more like a caveman looking at pictures on the screen and noting that a certain area lights up when there is more red on the screen.
He emphasizes waning motivation as one of they key factors, but there's a logical consequence of this which he didn't point out.

Instead of trying to keep your motivation up, figure out how long your motivation tends to last for (mine is ~2 weeks). Then at the very start of the project ruthlessly cut down the scope to something you think you could actually get done in that time period.

Perhaps this will require you to simplify some of the stuff you were planning to develop

Maybe you'll adopt just one new tool you need to ramp up on instead of five.

But by embracing the ticking motivation deadline you can modify the work you take on to something that you'll actually finish.

I wrote about this just a few days ago, and how I applied this technique to a project I was working on.

The Empire Strikes back and?
This needs to be higher up. Real wages (and I mean wages, the part of most peoples' comp that pays their rent, not "total compensation"), have remained flat since the mid 1970s. How's that supposed to work out when people still have to pay for things like housing and education, which most certainly have not remained flat in real terms? Let's not forget that we all have to fund our own retirements now, since pensions are no longer a thing.
He seems to get it right a lot when it comes to China.

- He refer to the Wuhan Virus as the China/Chinese Virus

- He started a trade war with China (resulting in companies moving out of China, Huawei not being allowed to use Android, etc)

- He was the first US president to talk directly to Taiwan's president since 1979

- He made the largest arms sale to Taiwan in the past 20 years

- Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act was signed under his administration

- TAIPEI Act was signed under his administration

- Meng Wanzhou was arrested under his administration

- China Mobile was blocked from offering services in the US, citing national security risks

.. and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. I was personally against his presidency during the first election, but his actions towards China is enough for him to garner my support even if I disagree with him on practically everything else.
The graphical design of his website?
Hence you need to be selectively so to minimise the negative and boost the positive. The question is not open ended. If one has to be utilitarian one might as well do it all.
Genuinely interested. Do you have some good examples to research?
You drinking Coke or eating fries will not directly lead to the death of your neighbor’s mother, and has no chance to start chains of infection that could kill hundreds or thousands of people.

I do e.g. feel pretty strongly that people who drive cars while drunk or high are being incredibly selfish and antisocial (not to mention breaking the law).

I do feel that cigarette companies doing their best to trick people into using products that directly lead to their deaths are unethical.

Likewise it is unethical for people to dump toxic sludge into the local river.

And so on.

In normal times, public officials should try to err on the side of letting people do things that are personally risky but don’t kill third parties (say, skydiving, participating in contact sports, drinking cocktails, or having casual sex), while trying to accurately inform people of the risks involved. During a pandemic, however, public officials must be willing to take more extreme measures when the public is not compliant with basic precautions.

Luckily this pandemic doesn’t actually require so strict a lockdown as was done in China. Getting everyone to wear masks while in public and dramatically reducing people’s indoor gatherings seems to be enough to get the reproductive number below 1. It seems that grocery store visits, take-out/delivery meals, exercise outdoors, limited social gatherings outdoors with reasonable precautions, etc. can effectively balance people’s basic social needs with controlling the epidemic.

Any workers whose jobs are not possible under such precautions should be paid by the state until the crisis is less acute.
>But those improvements--when discovered--will happen whether or not people have growth as a goal. They're good ideas independently.

The point is that measures that limit GDP will generally also limit the rate at which these things occur. An idea by itself is rarely enough: it needs capital to execute. Things that limit the growth of GDP limit the growth of a nation's capital.
Yes, this a thousand times. I couldn't find the right way to articulate but you did the job.

I'm sure many of us want beauty, conciseness, and every other quality in our writings but it's 99% of the time a neverending rabbithole.

On side projects a little bit of quick'n'dirty is extremely valuable to progress in assembling the bits of a system and see it operate for real.

It's a hard balance because no one wants to come back and fix things later but the fact that you walked forward into building the system means you have more concrete knowledge of what is required and this will make it a lot more clearer and motivating to adjust and fix the previous modules.

There's also a different kind of pleasure involved. I can be proud of super clean code in a project that is never done.. but the feeling of having finished a tool that is actually useful is so much nicer. And it makes you want to keep doing it this way.
I mean, sure, it’s wasteful, and I’d love for the post office to go electric. In comparison to all the waste that goes on to support every other aspect of my American way of life, however, it is absolutely microscopic. I’d rather we direct our collective outrage towards banning all new gasoline vehicles and subsidizing the rapid electrification of our infrastructure.
One could take this line of thinking arbitrarily far. For example - how are you supposed to trust that authors of any paper, anywhere, always had authenticated, authorized, and controlled access to their integrity-checked data at all times during the entire span of their research?

I find the most important thing is that you really want the thing you're building to exist. Everything else is secondary. If you want to use the thing, but can't because it's not there, you'll find time to work on it.

My most successful side project from last year is this climbing community that I built for my wife:

https://bettybeta.com/

We live in Fontainebleau, France and have arranged our life around the bouldering here, but she had always struggled to find good projects because the climbers who travel here tend to be mostly gym-strong men who power and lank their way through the problems here that suit that style. But there's a ton of other stuff that needs good technique and benefits from being able to bear down on small holds. Women are good at that sort of thing, but there was never a way to find information on those boulder problems.

It made a perfect "Side Project" because the core idea was buildable in a single day, leveraging the same framework I'd used for S3stat, Twiddla, Unwaffle, and the other "Real Business" projects I'd been doing. I was able to avoid silly Javascript build systems and other time-sink pitfalls that normally plague everybody's side projects (presumably because they seem fun and you're trying to learn stuff in addition to building something). The only real "reactive" stuff it needed was in a little "Project Finder" that lets you adjust sliders for grade, popularity, style, climber height, etc. and would benefit from having the list of climbs update in real time:

https://bettybeta.com/bouldering/projects

... and that was just a few hundred lines of vue.js, again minus any build system.

I still stick new stuff in regularly (like the "remoteness" filter so that you can find boulders deep in the woods where no plague-carrying-zombies will find you), but since it's built on a polished and time-tested architecture, I can get an awful lot done in a couple hours, so it's just a matter of disappearing off to the office on a rainy saturday morning, then coming back and announcing a few improvements.

Fun stuff.
Discipline doesn't work for everyone. I suspect most folks who are reading this article are doing so because they failed at self-discipline (like myself).

Instead, I suggest observing how long your motivation tends to last (~2 weeks for me). Then at the very start of the project ruthlessly cut down the scope to something you think you could actually get done in that time period.

This will probably require you to simplify some of the stuff you were planning to develop

Maybe you'll adopt just one new tool you need to ramp up on instead of five.

Linux Gaming Performance Is Good Enough
I don't see how? Samsung made $45B profit in 2017 vs $48B in 2017 for Apple. 2018- $49B Samsung vs $60B Apple. Even in worst cases Apple made 2x the profits as Samsung. Which means they should at least be worth half as much as Apple by your logic? But they are 5 times less than Apple right now in market cap.
> It's simply free trade.

How can it possibly be free trade if one side is subsidized and one side is not.

This is a good thing, I hope same thing will happen in Europe, if it haven't already. The law/agreement in europe is to help people send hand written letters across the globe, and to help people from poor regions send letters ro the more developed regions on earth.

This was the case back then, now, the same agreement is used so that you can send stuff worldwide without any fee. That is NOT free trade.

This is a really helpful guide to understand wireless networking. For in-depth reviews, I like to check out SmallNetBuilder [0] as they feature thorough tests and sometimes teardown of the wireless routers. Most "reviews" these days are pretty much just regurgitating the marketing spiel from manufacturers, which really doesn't help much.

Recently, I also stumbled upon a Chinese site [1] which does similar teardowns, but only in Chinese.

Personally, as an American who has worked in India and the US for one of the biggest abusers of H1Bs, I'm willing to take that risk.

I dare these armies of Fortune 500 executives and managers to send all their indentured H1Bs back to India and China. I'm sure they'll enjoy explaining why they and their large salaries and bonuses are essential, when they have 0 actual employees in the same country reporting to them.

They would have offshored things already if they could do so, and felt it wouldn't risk their own fiefdoms.

Or if they are needed, they can move themselves and their families to Bangalore. Globalization is great, or so we plebs have been hearing from the management class for so long, it's time for them to experience it themselves.

Precisely, this is why I think open data should be the next battle. All code takes input and gives output. I don't mind closed source as long as the interfaces are open ... but data being bought and sold is really troubling. Apart from public data sets, most data sets are closed. I am not sure if there are companies that publish all the data they collected openly.
Actual prices for bulk mail, that is. It costs a lot less to deliver the same piece of mail into 1000 adjacent mailboxes than it does to send 1000 letters to different addresses around the country.

That’s silly. Low oil prices are great for America’s economy, and oil has a lot less to do with the value of the dollar then our other exports, or our tax/regulatory environment.
"Unlimited" is a difficult claim to justify, but as evidence that human wants are in vast supply you might look at the way that Buddhism and Hinduism portray the bulk of human society as trapped in an endless cycle of wanting the next thing. It's not impossible to escape, but expecting it to happen en masse might be a stretch.

I think a more fruitful direction would be to distinguish between empty dopamine, and the kind of want that you can look back on and feel like it was aligned with your broader interests.

Google for "silent lung damage covid", you'll find multiple articles with possibly links to studies. IIRC, it came up as early as when people from the Diamond Princess have been studied.

BTW:

> Beyond that a follow up study done on severe patients with lung damage that showed the damage healed within 2.5 months

That's good news. Some weeks ago, medical researchers were afraid the damage might be permanent.
Why are downvoting this? This is obviously the only thing worth talking about. You see the cultural destabilisation happening all over the western world and it's not because of economic factors.

I'd say the average 12-13 year old could comfortably pass N1; that said, the average 12-13 year old is fluent in Japanese. Not getting 100% of course... but you don't need 100% knowledge of a language to be fluent and communicate on an everyday basis.

With N3 you might be able to introduce yourself and have a very basic conversation. I think different people have very working definitions of fluency.

Random aside. It's hilarious to me how people are worried about data Facebook has on them, or freaking out about address data being leaked in a hack.

Direct mail marketers, since the 1980s, buy lists of huge swathes of Americans. These lists include full name, address, estimated income, political affiliation, companies you've worked for - and the records are pennies each.
Yes, linux removes support for stuff over time. But most drivers for old simple peripherals are considered not a problem - as long as they are clean optional components of their respective subsystems, they don't bother anyone.

One example of support being removed includes old intel 386 processors, due to multi-core support complications apparently: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1212.1/01152.html (that left intel 486 and later still supported)

A bit more recently, a bunch of obscure architectures were removed, mostly because the last compilers to support them are too old or buggy: https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/ (Linux is in general really great about supporting a range of gcc/binutils versions going back about 7 years ... compare to some other popular projects these days which require a Go or Rust toolchain from just a few months ago.)

And occasionally a driver is moved to "staging" to see if anyone complains, before being removed, because it is being a bother and no one seems to be maintaining it: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin...

This is related to why "upstreaming" a driver can be very different from just releasing the source. Making a driver acceptable for merging into the mainline kernel, means making it clean enough that maintenance costs will be extremely low, for the next 5 to 10 years, even as the linux kernel sustains a surprisingly large amount of change in every single 3 month release cycle.
There is no design so there is nothing to judge about.
You're not just citing data, you're also leaping to conclusions by claiming that "the" peak has passed. There may be another peak, and there's no guarantee it'll be gentler than the last.
Not parent.

As to the first point, I think it's missing Spectre/Meltdown vulnerabilities? Also something with EFAIL, and something with regards to all the JWT mess that's currently being used everywhere.

Hm.... But now, when I am reviewing them again (I last tried them in 2015-ish), I see they are mostly low lever crypto; things like JWT and EFAIL probably does not belong there.
> How is obscene amounts of money forcing anything?

Indie game studios have a very hard time surviving.

Giving them instantaneous access to a huge pile of money that allows them to declare success even before releasing a project is something most people cannot reject.

> Anti competitive would be buying up competing battle royale franchises to reduce consumer choice.

That is what they are doing but with game stores. They are effectively buying everything to dry the rest of the stores, reducing other stores choice of customers.

> This sounds good for developers all around

Not really. Devs get money, but they lose the product. Indie devs are not independent anymore. Etc.

If Epic had success building the monopoly, everyone would have suffered, not just devs.

That makes it sound like their adoption was the main cause for it becoming widespread. Do you have a source to back that up? It's just not how I remember it, but that might be my memory failing and/or being warped.

That's a little broad. Oversight would be sufficient.
