> This is why I said "starting to." You did notice those two very important words, didn't you? Because this is how it starts.

"starting to" is a prerequisite, but a reduction in birth rate doesn't necessarily lead to a population collapse, and you don't seem to present any evidence that this is one of the cases where it does.
Tell me about it. Any time the Debian machine I have running as a Unifi appliance loses power (on an XFS filesystem on a disk with write caching disabled), the mongodb database is absolutely hosed (despite no xfs corruption at all) and I need to wipe the data directory and restore from backup because mongo 3 is just such garbage. (I mean, mongodb is still garbage but it's improved a tiny bit in some reliability metrics.)
I actually really like what you're saying.

As someone who's pointed 10's if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to open source projects, blaming lawyers is unfortunately not the solution either.

Companies have budgeting and legal solutions laid out, its pretty much a first year problem. Engineering and IT want money to go to those developers. The issue is finding and getting money to these developers in accordance to tax code, jurisdiction/etc, its basically a regulation issue. On top of that, many developers don't want to deal with the tax hassle of getting paid for a $50-200 solution because it opens them up to ID theft and a whole morass of problems.

For the moment the most effective use of my dollars has been to donate to foundations and tag my donation with a "hey, can you use this for $XYZ", and that works. The FreeBSD foundation does a great job of this and thats why I donate money to them every year.

If there was something like this that encompassed more developers, I'd be really keen to see that as well.

> Imagine the massive GDP creation from making every 65+ year old feel 40 again.

Come on. It's like more than half a century ago some economists predict because of the improvement of technology and the overall production, most people only need to work 4 hours per day.

aaand now we have a lot of people working 12 hours a day over the wire already. GDP is the millstone that when it's bigger it grinds more soul - because things are operated in scale as technology develops, individuals can only grab every opportunity they have, in order to participate in the economy, even when the opportunity is outstraight abusive.

There will be new jobs but new jobs are either rockstar economies like being social media celebrities, or bullshit jobs that people have to scratch their head and come up with overpriced bullshit products from nothing and marketing those as the best thing ever.

It's not unlikely we ended up working 16 hours a day pointlessly in the so-called metaverse half a century from now on.
Doesn't matter if either way, with network overhead from talking to your application from another machine, it's measured in milliseconds.
While I agree with most of your points, I think that these dithering images use less client-side power than a regular image compression (e.g. JPEG or PNG). The dithered images are smaller (according to them), and I don't see why they would use more CPU per byte to decode than JPEG.
A lead-acid battery doesn't seem like a good choice for this application. Prolonged discharge states cause the lead sulfate to crystallize which is irreversible, making it impossible to recharge the battery.

A lithium chemistry might be better, since that prefers partially discharged states to being fully charged.

That's one of the main arguments for using Docker: reproduceable environments. It also makes dumping tons of tools into a fresh laptop obsolete. Furthermore, having development and production environments at/near parity is important for troubleshooting.
Ask HN: Cannot check out/place order in Amazon Canada
Despite clearly that the items are available, I'm constantly getting "You cannot buy this item because it's out of stock" warning after I clicked the "place order" button.

The error page simply states that the item is out of stock but doesn't bother to tell me which one is out of stock. I tried a few times but the purchase couldn't go through. Sometime it shows the error page after I clicked the "check out" button as well.

I guess this is related to the issues Amazon experienced earlier this week?
I need to rewatch that movie. It was so good. I have never read her books, not being interested in Vampire novels, but I watched 5 minutes of the movie and I was hooked.

One of the advantages of fixed hardware is you can tune for that hardware directly. We used to bake content and design code with specific cache line sizes in mind. If you know you have a fixed memory budget for graphics/sound/etc you can make specific tradeoffs on where you spend that budget. PCs until recently did not have UMA and so you were bound by bus speeds(although this applied to some consoles too but you could exploit it if you knew how, ex: stream audio data from graphics memory and long as you stayed under the total bus bandwidth you got extra memory for the system if you needed it).

I really enjoyed the article above, which I read many years ago (before Rust 1.0!) which discusses how Golang and Rust handle polymorphism and code-reuse without classic object inheritance. My current thinking is that software objects are a general-purpose tool, but classic object inheritance should rarely be used as it is a solution to a narrow problem—classes should be "final" by default, and if not the inheritance pattern should be completely designed up front.

Java had the misfortune to be designed at a time when OOP was the new craze and the design decision to force all code into an object hierarchy has not held up well. I'd rather use languages designed either before or after Java, where you can use objects when they are appropriate and ignore them when they aren't.

> Talking about money with upper middle class people is impolite. They have never had money problems and do not understand why anyone would ever talk about money

That isn't the reason at all. My parents struggled in the Depression, but they never ever talked about their money. The Depression taught them to be very, very frugal, a lifelong habit. (My family tended to keep cars for 30 years, for example.) I had no idea what my Dad had until after he passed away.

> You don’t fail, you are given an opportunity to grow

This is an attitude common to successful people at all levels. There's a reason it correlates with success.
Reminds me of ARM’s campaign against RISC-V which backfired badly. Like this anti-Graviton ad, the copy for the anti-RISC campaign had the unintentional effect of underlining the major advantages of the technology they were attempting to criticize.

Pick your allies carefully.

I flirted with a transparency org. Washington Citizens for Open Government.

The libertarian minded (Discovery Institute, Toby Nixon, Paul Guppy, so many others) used these nonpartisan good govt orgs to advocate their religion. It was maddening.

For instance, simultaneously advocating transparency AND privatization, without irony. Corporations are not subject to public records requests. Many an agency outsourced work to keep the activities away from public scrutiny. Anyone with a sincere desire for good govt advocates for less outsourcing, less privatization.

By all means, advocate for better stuff. Just know the opponents of democratic civil society will always highjack, subvert, project, argue in bad faith. The paradox of tolerance, on endless repeat.

I have no ideas how to avoid that trap. A large part of my burn out as an activist.
Seems wasteful. Use VMs or containers that can be backed-up and transported to other machines. Also, look into automated configuration management because manual meat monkeying is so 1997.

> How can you say that when longevity isn't available to all in the current days?

Because technology inevitably becomes cheaper. Your smartphone did not exist 20 years ago, and 15 years ago only the rich could afford it. Today the whole world has one. Such is the way of technology.

> Of course there's a renewal process, old habits, vices, skewed and biased perspectives of the world are all flushed and reset with death.

Let's say people lived forever. Would killing them at 80 years be justifiable because "we need to flush out their ways of life?"

Humanity can progress without death. It might be slower, even glacial, but that is completely irrelevant because you will experience more net progress in the end.

Just in case, here is another empirical data comparison for world3 predictions, this time from 2020.
It's pretty silly to claim that one way or the other is "obviously" wrong. A primary objective of defaults on the web is to never hide content; if "width" specifies the width of the content itself (i.e. box-sizing: content-box), when I say "div { width: 100px }" and put an image that's 100px in that div, I never crop/lose content. You can argue one way or the other, but neither is "obviously" more correct.
"if you consider hard work deserving of it"

Do you mean to say people who do nothing deserve wealth?
I had an easier experience along these lines. The Lenovo ThinkPad X220's official technical specifications say it only supports 8 GiB of RAM. But many forum posts across the web confirm that people used 2 slots of 8 GiB = 16 GiB with no problem (e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/6rdra2/does_the_x... ). Sure enough, I tried it and it worked.
What evidence would you consider sufficient, besides globally falling birthrates?

Again, I will remind you, the comment says we are "starting to see evidence," of population collapse, not that population collapse is happening or is inevitable. Globally declining birth rates is certainly evidence that it may be happening.
Sure, but the original comment that spawned this thread was comparing happiness and GDP.

Chapelle, JK Rowling, Ellen, the Vogue editor in chief, conservative actors like Chris Pratt or Kirstie Alley.

That’s 6. Looking up lists of cancelled people would turn up many more.

Even more so. The egregiousness of how reactionary, angry, and so sure of injustice occurring for many of these non-cancel cancelling makes it seem even more absurd.

Dave Chapelle being one of the most recent and hilarious examples. He’s still selling out every ticket. Netflix and other networks still want to pay him tens of millions.

Actual cancelled famous people seem to be the rare exceptions.
As far as earnings, median household income is very achievable (~$68,000). Associates degrees in medical fields lead to $50,000+ salaries. How far those earnings go relative to other periods is debatable.

Catching up in terms of wealth is probably a lot harder (because we continue to get richer).
You can do deliberate practice for technical creativity, I do it all the time. You basically take any problem, like "How to build a server", and instead of looking up guides on how to do it you just start breaking it down. So a server needs to connect ot other computers, so you go and figure out how to make such connections, and then how to make multiple connections in parallel, then how to listen to connections etc. And soon you will have a working server. That was how I learned programming. It is slower and more tedious than just looking it up, but it is good deliberate practice for getting more technically creative. Looking things up doesn't teach you much, figuring things out yourself is how you practice things in this domain. Deliberately not looking up solutions to known problems is like a super power, you don't want to spoil yourself there you can only figure things out before you have seen how it is done after that you just recall the solution.
Intel benefits from decades of being the preferred platform for people to optimize server software on. I would believe that they outperform Graviton on workloads that have done this (especially when they have optimized with AVX instructions), but tends to be near performance parity on other workloads.

Databases and ML likely are winners for intel due to this optimization, while stuff like nginx performs just fine on the ARM chips.

I don't. It's taken all this time for CSS to catch up with table-based layouts, and it still doesn't really offer significant advantages if you're generating your markup from code (which we all are now). Video and audio tags are not noticeably better than HTML3-style embed; indeed in practice they're worse for the user (all that autoplaying video on news sites).

CSS exists to make it easier to DRY your hand-written HTML, which no-one does anymore. It's time to kill it.
Where is your evidence for that claim? Seems like I should dismiss it out of hand.
Well, there is also a possible psychological component. Lots of women end up seeing single men as a possible threat. With a baby in your arms, you can signaling that you are much safer to them in a multitude of ways, many of them in a way that both parties are not necessarily aware in a conscious level, but we do have sub conscious processes that alter our thoughts and behaviors.

But the smell is also a factor, that's the thing, humans are the single hardest animals to study, cause we are way, way too complex.
Technology-wise, I wanted to try out two things that I hadn't tried before for this project.

One was to use Expo to release on web and mobile at the same time. I've used React Native quite a bit in a professional capacity, so I wanted to check out the Expo landscape. I discovered that the web part (react native web) didn't quite deliver on what I was looking for, so I scrapped it and ported to Vite/react-ts and dropped native completely.

The other was to see if I could find a low-friction way of setting up subscriptions for a static web frontend with no first party backend. That is the reason why there is a premium subscription tier for a small weekend game like this. Turns out that this was pretty straight forward with Gumroad! In the end, I was pretty happy with the way the flow turned out (except that Apple Pay isn't supported without stepping out of the flow and heading to Gumroad directly).
Sounds like this "config" (which is what, some preprocessor that generates your actual markup?) is what's actually doing all the work.

> there's always going to be some level of wealth that's difficult to achieve

Sure, but if that number is such that a significant proportion of society is born with it and pass it along to their children while everyone else can't hope to get there, that's a very different society and social structure than one where a few extremely lucky people happen to achieve it each generation without a self-reinforcing class structure.

> It does nobody any good for fewer people to be wealthy

It could. If we actively redistributed wealth from the top quintile to the bottom quintile, it would do a lot of people a lot of good.
In the strictest sense, yes you're right. But there are so many "flavors" in popular culture.

For me, Nihilism is the input. i.e. everything is meaningless. But the output, i.e. what do you do, is separate.

How is it problematic and not just an arbitrary metric?

You also presuppose that everything should be relative to absolute terms. What evidence do you have that social mobility should be relative to absolute terms rather than relative to the quintiles defined by the society a given person lives in?

Why would we expect mobility in absolute terms for a society that ranges from 1-100 in wealth, compared to a society than ranges from 40-50? We should expect mobility to be with respect to the society’s wealth range.

Mine only had one, but it's been 20 years so some details elude me. I remember we used to have LD and policy, but there wasn't enough interest to maintain two anymore.

So in ours, it was a 1v1 and basically you just spoke for 2 or 3 minutes to a judge, wrote down notes from the other speaker to make rebuttals, then it was over.

What I meant is it very much isn't a back and forth discussion of any sort. In fact, you were never really speaking to each other at all, just to the judge or moderator. Speak for a couple minutes spewing facts and references, listen, do it again, etc.

That's not how it works. You start writing the code thinking it will be easy. You'll be done in a few weeks. You can see it all in your head. But in fact, it's never done. And it takes more and more time. Now you can't justify the effort because it's interfering with the rest of your life. You need relief from time spent doing paid work to keep working on the project.

> One would expect states with roughly equivalent highest tax rates to scale their tax rates about the same as income goes down.

That is incredibly stupid. Someone (single) in Alabama making $40k/year is paying 4.07% effective state income tax rate, in California they are just paying 2.37%. States with lower top tax rates are usually more regressive than states with higher top tax rates, red southern states being the main example of states with regressive taxation.
Your link clearly shows that poverty is significantly worse along black people than white (19% to 8.5%), and worse among American Indians than black people (25% to 19%). I don't understand why you would ever look at this in per Capita terms when clearly there are more white people overall.
