> .out binary format was amazing - binaries used MUCH less memory, and were faster in general in comparison to modern "ELF".

I'd be interested in seeing this claim backed by some data. I remember running Monkey Linux (ELF-based, libc5; it might have been a Slackware derivative) on a 4-meg 486SX/33; it ran quite smoothly (until you tried to run X).
That economic model has been dispelled numerous times often using basic personal accounting. One example I remember is the owner of a pillow making industrial business. This business owner lived pretty plain driving a regular car, wearing regular jeans, eating regular meals, and nothing unique about the quantity or size of his spending habits. This owner made around $30 million per year but spent money equivalently to somebody earning $60 thousand per year. He inherited his business from his father and thus didn’t need tax assistance to create job as the jobs were already there. The factory employees were mostly hourly labor. There was nothing special here aside from having a business that generates a profit and his personal earnings were the result of that profit. There was nothing for money to trickle down to.

Ultimately, none of that matters until you speak to tax policy.

As I have learned in a recent HN thread about tax policy people are generally internally conflicted about what they want taxed. The general nature I could gleam from the comments is that wealth should be taxed, but nobody could define wealth. Taxes should be fair unless you are wealthy or poor. Tax policy should be simple until your personally identified special interest group is impacted at which point there must be all kinds of exceptions. Land value should be disproportionately taxed at a higher rate, but only if owned by wealthy people. Some forms of taxing are superior because they are more efficient except for automation. Everything read like a self-contradictory nightmare where people really wanted to feel rational.

It stands to reason that actually locking people up in their homes for several weeks would have a significant effect on viral spread, especially if done early, in a wealthy country where people have a lot of individual living space.

Most lockdowns are not like that, for practical reasons. They are a random basket of restrictions that go into effect when the virus has already spread enough to cause great concern. At that point, it is hard to discern whether any of these restrictions cause a significant effect, much less a net benefit.

>Given the subject matter, and that if the theory presented is true it's purely negative for all involved, as both the pedophiles created (or made worse) by exposure as well as their potential victims are worse off

I don't think that should be up to 'us' (non-pedophiles) to decide. Arguably, perhaps the Internet doesn't 'create' pedophiles as much as it may help people understand that they are pedophiles, and that society's shaming of them (which, yes, does lead to worse psychological outcomes and increased stress for the afflicted person) has negatively impacted them and forced them to keep quiet about their sexuality. This stigma even prevents them from seeing mental health care providers, for fear that therapists will incorrectly (and perhaps even illegally) report them.

I have no opinion that fiction can impact pedophiles and inflame their desires, but I do not think that is a good enough reason to do away with fiction (to make the publisher liable) - the degrees of separation are too high for me to see illegalising fiction as a reasonable and just measure. The idea that someone can be thrown in prison for the mere risk of the following circumstances coalescing:

* Creating material that might appeal to some pedophiles

* If those pedophiles find the material

* If it hits on the appropriate themes to inflame desires (e.g. is it straight fiction? Gay fiction? Is the subject in the fiction the right age? The right appearance?)

* If those 'inflamed desires' are processed by the pedophile's brain to relate to the real world, forming a plan of action (let's call this real-desire)

* If that real-desire faces no moral or practical impediment to its execution

* If the pedophile's impulse control is low enough to execute the real-desire

This is an extremely tenuous chain of events, each one relying on the previous event - and most of this chain of events is squarely in the court of the pedophile/potential child abuser, not the author of the fiction, who still merely creates the risk of this chain of events occurring. This is complicated by the fact that we have no idea how many non-offending pedophiles there are, and we know that most child sexual abuse is not perpetrated by strangers, but by family members (i.e. there is a specific target; this is not usually how people relate to porn), and a large portion of that sexual abuse is not even perpetrated by pedophiles.

The best tactic to prevent child sexual abuse is to stop assuming all pedophiles are potential rapists, and to stop assuming that the people who consume fiction necessarily find fictional desires reflected in their actual psychology (or vice versa). See Patrick Galbraith on this topic.

Not with modern food science. A lot of people consider cornsyrupy sugar water to be satisfying because companies have collectively spent billions and decades in R&D and marketing to make it taste and look as satisfying as possible.

It works because our sense are not infallible, they can be tricked and purposefully mislead. Just like taste expectations are often built from childhood on.

I get your instinct, but there is one thing missing. I’m theory, my CI isn’t really being run in a known environment. I can’t write a shell script to power the ci, because how am I to know the CI launcher even has a shell? Of course, once an environment has been deployed, I am safe to switch to write shell scripts, calling system commands, etc. But it does make some sense to be completely static at the start and I haven’t be even picked an operating system.

The Crypto AG revelations --- a Swiss-based firm selling Telex encoding equipment revealed to be a CIA front --- strongly suggest to me that the principle (though not only) strength of the US intelligence agencies has been based on backdoors. As software-based encryption became more prevalent, they sought to either discourage effective crypto, or impose mandatory back-doors.

The downside of having generally-known weaknesses seems to have been largely deprecated.

Rather than "security by obscurity", the operational status has been "insecurity by obscurity". Unknown to users, systems are largely wholly insecure, and it's only ignorance that gives the illusion that they are secure.

I wrote on this recently: https://joindiaspora.com/posts/b596219086b1013991d8002590d8e...

In practice, the "everyone anywhere can attack any online system" status of the Internet, and the porosity of most LANs and even nominally airgapped / detached systems (see the Stuxnet attack on Iran's centrifuge systems) means that virtually all systems are vulnerable.

I suspect that the debate is quite live within government, particularly as the US itself is repeatedly the victim of such attacks.

Aside from some a couple performance critical parts of code or if you're trying to push the hardware to it's maximum limits with effects or complex mechanics, C is totally sufficient for writing entire (and performant) games on the Game Boy. Many polished homebrew GB games have been (and are being) written and completed using C.

Of course, now the number of games now being made with GB Studio completely eclipses the number written in C and assembly.

Most of the GBDK/GBDK-2020 API used for C development is written in assembly, so if you use C you get some benefits of using assembly anyway.

Here's a more nuanced guide for choosing which development tools to use.

It doesn't fix everything, for example runtime control flow still has to be described as attributes of tasks, but it does help with parametrising. It's a question whether it's worth it to add such a hack or if I should just make do with YAML.

Don't do this unless you've got some experience with alternatives. It's definitely not the standard in the Elixir community.

Also keep in mind OTP (the Erlang stdlib) is sort of one company's kitchen sink helper lib. It's got some gems, but do read other people's opinions about which are worth using. I wish it's docs included more about when not no use it.

Edit:

Definitely look up "contexts". They're the Phoenix word for module that handle storing/retrieving a piece of data.

If you're writing an app with low perf requirements consider using the db directly for this with no in memory persistence. I did this with a low usage internal dashboard and it's was dead simple.

Edit2: Thanks to reply, previously said contexts were an Elixir concept
A lot of this seems like pretty typical consulting/business wisdom - be a mastermind of people, build carefully designed teams where all the personalities complement each other, ask people hard and somewhat unexpected questions during interviews (catch them off guard, intimidate them a bit, establish your dominance, see if they get shaken).

What I'm never quite sure about is whether this actually works: it always looks a bit like a confidence game. As long as you can convince people that you're able to design great teams they will give you leadership positions and pay you a lot, and until something happens that breaks the spell, you get away with it (and you get to keep believing in it yourself, as well, which makes the sell easier).

I am sure that personalities matter, but given the complexity and unpredictability of social dynamics I'm skeptical about this really working the way it's presented.
> I don't believe you can, because I understand how cheese works and nut paste doesn't work that way.

Totally agree. It's not quite the same. I'm prepared to occasionally abstain from certain well-tasting foods or use a less-than-perfect substitute out of solidarity with farmed animals and out of care for the planet. It's a trade-off. I agree.

> As to vegan "meat", that's just vegetables.

Yea, exactly. And sometimes mushrooms.

> Why do you need to eat vegetables and pretend to eat meat?

It's a good question. I think it's a bit more complex than pretending to eat meat. For me, personally, it's more about reclaiming certain dishes that we usually consider meat-based but that don't have to be, such as burgers and hotdogs.

For those who've just seen Cowspiracy or Earthlings and start to realize how harmful industrial animal agriculture is but also "can't live without their cheese and their meat", those meat substitutes are perfect. They substitute the taste but not the harm. They can make a zero-effort switch without changing any habits or learning to cook new dishes. It's the best of both worlds.

I love that 7-Eleven has started selling vegan hotdogs here. You get the choice of buying a delicious hotdog without having to worry about eating the body of someone who've been driven around in crowded trucks to then have their brains shot out with a pressure gun or being gassed. To me, it seems like self-delusion to buy the murder-hotdogs when the vegan ones are available.

Moving is one of many concerns.

Big businesses generally have a higher elasticity of demand for many goods and services, compared to the poor and middle class. This translates to big businesses being willing and able to raise prices, lower production, lower wages, lay off workers, move overseas, or have rich executives retire early in response to government impositions.

I don't quite get why you would argue that taxes don't affect wages; taxes affect the return on investment for hiring employees, so it should affect how much a company is willing to pay for someone's labor.
