These seem to be a way to embed all files to one executeable binary.

Similar for Windows is https://github.com/sudachen/Molebox

Others:

- C/C++ has linker to link all to one binary

- CLI/webserver only https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan like https://redbean.dev . Same exe works on many x64 OS like Windows/macOS/Linux/BSD, it embeds .zip file and can read/write to embedded .zip on the fly.

- AppImage https://appimage.org

- Tclkit https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Tclkit , creator at http://kitcreator.rkeene.org/kitcreator

- Python Pop https://gitlab.com/saltstack/pop/pop

- Go has some code also to embed all to one binary, some is part of Buffalo web framework https://gobuffalo.io/en

-Godot Game engine https://godotengine.org can embed all to one executeable binary

Is there anything else similar, that embeds all to one executeable binary?
We’ve started using views and friends a lot more recently (now I’ve recovered from my PTSD from a lifetime ago when I worked in a poorly managed sql server shop). As you point out, they’re often not first class citizens.

On the flip side, we’ve just moved ours to files on disk (one per object) and hacked in some tooling to autogenerate the migrations from them (we use alembic / sqlalchemy which already does a good job here).

It’s kinda the promised land. Edit code on disk, commit and review as usual.
Isn't that what the higgs is?
Ponzi schemes don't become ethical when they temporarily enrich people who are lower on the economic totem pole. I would argue they actually become less ethical.

Regarding mass shootings, Zeynep Tufekci once led a charge for news orgs to stop auto-include the shooters' name, when covering an event.

While brilliant, I feel that's only part of a solution. I believe years of very loud, very frequent shooting coverage are drumming siren-calls to the next shooters.

We've never tried treating shootings as local events (arguably they are) while muting and minimizing the coverage of the event and yearly memorials.
On the contrary. When it comes to skin type vs. vitamin D levels, then people with darker skin who live in the North are more deficient as you would expect.

Coincidentally or not, PoC/BAME folks have worse COVID outcomes in these countries, which could be due to vitamin D deficiency. There is of course socio-economic component too.

Nestle has an operating profit margin of 17.5%. That's pretty good. Maybe it's possible for Beyond/Impossible.

Also, if capital costs of building a plant are low relative to yearly revenue, say 10%, even at profit margins of 5%, over 10 years you got 5x of returns, and that's without counting other ways of raising capital.

A lot depends on scale, and meat has scale.
Ah, cool. Looking up efficiencies, it looks like induction is about 80% vs. gas about 40%. So that puts output power at 2.5kW for a large induction burner vs 2kW for a large gas burner. So I suppose you could boil water slightly faster with a nice induction stove, assuming good heat transfer on both.
124VDC on the ISS: I wonder if that means that all electrical items on the ISS have to made to operate with that voltage? I don't think they would want to waste power making heat in order to change 124VDC to 12V, 6V, 9V, 20V, etc.

Love Gumroad. Was scared that this would be a "pivot" post to "something new".

I'm on the fence on this one. I don't like how the feature is pushed "in your face" like that. And at the same time, I trust Microsoft more than the average nowadays company to be respectful of privacy and my data - albeit the average is low and this is a low standard to achieve.

If you don't make money out of selling your customer's data, then you need to find ways to actually collect money from them. How it's been done is disgusting, but I think I'm aligned with the why.
Also one "follow-on" to V7 was plan9 (also from CSRC). So in many ways looking to Plan9 to see how "the forefathers of UNIX" would improve something can be instructive as well.
I don't get this attitude. Optimizing your code is a pretty normal thing to do. Running performance analysis, finding hotspots and tuning them.

I would prefer tuning my code over tuning a garbage collector as tuning code is more transparent. It depends on your background. If you are used to native code development like me, then you are used to thinking about how code get compiled and how memory is used.

I suppose in the Java world, these things are treated as black boxes. The downside of that is that you get no stability under your feet. Everything is up to whatever garbage collector you use and how that is tuned. I am sure many people like that, but I would prefer to be in control over my own code and understand why it performs and doesn't perform. I want optimization to be explicit rather than based on lots of magical tweaking by some GC expert.

The association between Vitamin D levels often breaks down in interventional studies which points to common causes for both susceptibility for respiratory disease and low Vitamin D levels (For instance Winter both lowers Vitamin D levels as well as increases respiratory diseases).

Outside of cryptocurrency you can look at Theranos, it raised close to a billion dollars and was fraud from top to bottom. Within the cryptocurrency world you can look at Tether.

A few hundred million in funding from cryptocurrency investors means nothing when it comes to credibility.
> irrigate the Sahara Desert to turn it into a vast grassland that can support a billion cattle.

There are currently about a billion cows[1], and these produce 14.5% of green house gases[2] (in the form of methane, measured as co2-equivalent). Doubling that would not be very good.

Hah, for me drawing often _creates_ anxiety. Usually that happens when what I drew is not good as I'd expect, or not as good as things I've already drawn in the past. I also don't enjoy the early stages of doing the drawing (measurements, getting major proportions right). Maybe I just shouldn't draw :)

People sharing in the success of a new company is not a ponzi scheme. If a company is started from nothing, is providing value, and early adopters are paid with tokens as a way to jump start the business the tokens are simply being used to extract future value into the present. In some cases there's no actual value in the future because the product isn't good, but that doesn't make it a ponzi scheme, just a poor business.
Of course the scientist control for seasons. Levels of vitamin D of course are related to sunshine. There's also correlation with obesity, etc. etc.

That's interesting. I personally abandonned ground meat and equivalents some time ago. These days I eat less meat but the meat I eat is "real" meat, usually cuts of beef that I cook quickly in a hot skillet and eat with a bit of salt. It's great that they are alternative for people that are into ground meat.
That's a very low bar in exchange for Africa continuing to fall farther behind the rest of the world - e.g. during the same period child mortality in the EU fell be a factor of three and in the entire world it declined by a factor of 2.5

"Providing value" is doing some serious heavy lifting in that sentence - MLM/Ponzi schemes can definitely argue they "provide value" and its telling that its your metric for not being a con.

that's a really impressive growth rate and amount of revenue. never heard of them!
What I intended to hint at is that a bag being expressive is not the issue. Yeah you sometimes want to label the bags, or make special purpose bags. But bags as they are are not too expressive. Them being expressive allows for all that other stuff. Their core utility is what we're after and the rest is secondary support and should be treated as such or else we get lost.

If we act like we're not actually dealing with bags at a fundamental level, we might mislead ourselves and spread the belief that the rules and labels around the bags are what matters. No, they help you (temporarily) to use the bags in a specific way in some context.

In fact, computers are extremely expressive, (bag like) things. The constraints are auxiliary. I think it's important that we keep reminding us what programming is and that it serves a direct purpose, while the bureaucracy is a support structure at best.

Numpy is all about this. E.g y = np.sin(x). X and y are arrays and you can think of them as «all values of x and y» or «the physical variables x and y»
If testing is limited but effectively randomly sampling, then measured incidence will be proportionate to actual incidence.

If testing is targeted toward regions of higher interest and likelihood, then test positivity should skyrocket out of proportion to actual positives. (I'm not sure what the case is for South Africa.)

Using deaths as a lagging indicator of cases, South Africa reports about a 3% CFR (based on reported cases and deaths), as opposed to about 2% for the US. This would suggest a somewhat lower testing prevalence in ZA, by about a third, but not an especially bad record. This does assume that Covid deaths are being accurately assessed and reported. Total excess mortality is the usual check for that.

My read is that ZA's testing infrastructure is reasonably good, and that the B.1.1.539 variant's growth is extraordinary.

I'm relying on Worldometers data:

You just conceptually don't like markets. If you think the whole concept is a scam then just don't put your money in financial markets.

Yeah but they clearly said revenues after the funding, which far eclipse the funding, which moves this far beyond any comparison to Theranos or high flying companies you might actually respect
I was given some good advice a decade ago by my father inlaw. Every time you are asked for personal info, give as little as possible (need to know/least privilege). When filling out forms, just the necessary fields (ex: no middle name/initial, home phone, etc). Do they really need a copy drivers lic at the doctors office? You can even call your Medical Insurance company and get a code that the dentist or doctor can put in instead of your SS number, that way you're not giving it out as much. There are plenty of things that require little effort that can go a long way. Opt out of CC/Insurance/Junk mail. Reduce the paper trail is good practice, bills should be handled online, direct deposit, etc. And I shouldn't have to say this but never use your real name online and refrain from all social media unless you can participate anonymously. I go as far as using a VPN and Private browsing as a minimum/baseline. At Thanks Giving, I would duck and hide every time someone took a photo so my face wouldn't end up on FB or other social media. My goal is to one day disappear from having any online presence or a minuscule foot print, no email, dumb phone, services, etc.
There is zero proof that it will remain interest free forever; also their main goal here is to engage as much people as possible, so that each purchase click will generate profits indirectly through users profiling etc.
The operating cost is generally lower for gas as well. It's certainly true where I live, where 1 kWh is seemingly something like $0.40 after all the rates, fees and taxes.

Is your gas stove in your new place nice or is it kinda cheap? I've certainly used plenty of mediocre gas burners. I would expect a high end induction stove to be a better experience than a low end gas burner. I think we can all agree that electric coil burners are terrible.
You can shut down the conversation about global warming with the same method - kids are not trained or experienced enough to ask for huge politics changes fixing climate change. Back to school, get a job first and all the standard phrases. I don't think it helps with the discussion either way.

It depends on your tastes and expectations.

I've had some really high end coffees that I thought tasted like garbage. Then again I wasn't prepared for what they were going to taste like. For instance, when I tried light roasts for the first time, I thought they were absolute trash. I only drank dark roasts though and based my expectations on that. I've since warmed up to them and now prefer a medium roast for my daily drink.

Some people have different tastes. Some folks really like the burnt flavors of Starbucks and associate it with coffee, so everything else tastes terrible. That's especially true if you don't drink coffee black and require a certain flavor after adding heaps of cream and sugar. Other people are more sensitive to bitterness or acidity and need something to cater to their tastes.

Personally I just stick with Peet's beans because I find them to be cheap and convenient and not all that bad. I still occasionally get a bag of terrible coffee from them, but it's terrible in the sense that I just can't get a cup of coffee that I like after adjusting all the parameters(temp, time, dilution(yeah, I use an aeropress), etc).

Tastes are a subjective thing. I've had $400 Michelin dinners that tasted like shit, and $8 burritos that were some of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. People like to get all judgmental about it but really you just have to know yourself and go with it.
If countries are in so much trouble they need the IMF they might not no better (or more likely, have the political options to do what is needed).

The "if all you need" part is very important here. Without it the previous sentence makes no sense at all.

In addition to that, the Set is more "expressive" than the list in the right context. Or rather it expressing things more directly.
The spicy Italian Beyond Meat sausage - either barbecued or fried - makes a really nice hot dog. I've lost count of how many I had this summer.

Edit: On the bad side - Canadian A&W featured Beyond Meat chicken nuggets. These tasted nothing like chicken. They weren't inedible, but not a good approximation of even the low quality nugget meat.

Organized sports disagrees.
China has already been aggressively regulating games for the last few years, in part due to how exploitative lootbox/gacha games got over there. The worst of monetized games in the West are already as bad as things were there before regulation if not worse - to a degree, any good guidelines we have here are enforced by Google and Apple for parity with Chinese rules (requirement to publish rates, etc.)

Chinese Genshin Impact players are actually more protected from exploitation than players in the US. It's wild. I suspect we'll probably see regions like Europe adopt similar regulations over time.
I’m eating a steak this evening raised on pasture in upstate New York. We have weather in New York and lots of water, etc.

Soy and corn is mostly grown in the Midwest, using aquifer water that is being rapidly and permanently depleted.

On the contrary: there is plenty of money to be made selling supplements, it's super cheap to do, and in most jurisdictions the supplementation and natural products industry and market are barely regulated.

apples.forEach(peel) is pretty clear, and the distinction is actually important for some operations which could conceivably be applied either to the whole collection or to each item in the collection and thus could be ambiguous in plain English, like “gift wrap the apples.” That could mean giftWrap(apples) or apples.forEach(giftWrap).

You don't get to propose a suite of projects to negate their costs. Because we're not some hive mind working with singular purpose. So:

Last time I checked cattle used more water and more land than alternative sources of calories. You want us to eat meat, subsidies for cattle then? That's going to produce less calories at greater land and water use.

You want to terraform the desert? The word "terraform" is no sweet nothing. Talk about destruction to the environment. My goodness.

You want us to use nuclear reactors for energy? I do understand that desire. But you propose to install this in the Sahara? The place with tons of low value land and way too much sun? Might I propose an alternative energy source that is currently beating nuclear at price per watt in CLOUDY areas?

This article never even mentions the fundamental attributes of the proposed Hyperloop. Hyperloop is not magnetic levitation. Hyperloop is not a vacuum tube.

It's a low pressure air ski. It is meant to be substantially easier to engineer than the tolerances required for something like maglev in a vacuum tube. Whether that will be true hasn't been shown.

But Hyperloop is not maglev, it's not a hard vacuum, and it's not necessarily supposed to be superior to maglev in vacuum tube, except that it is meant to be cheaper.
