This entire screed seems to be based around a truly bizarre idea that the economy is a zero-sum game. It is not.
Your income from jobs is never based on your moral worth, only what society thinks is monetarily valuable.
I was diagnosed sometime during my second year of secondary school (which I think was 2010-2011, which would make me 13 at the time as well, although I admit I don't remember much) and I can definitely back up the importance of a good support network.

I don't know anyone else with this condition and it can be incredibly isolating, and as is the case with many chronic conditions it definitely has a negative impact on mental health.

At least in my experience, it's not something that one can just move on with, as it tends to pervade every experience: "Is my blood sugar going to go too low during this exam/interview/event?" is a common thought and there have been many times where I've taken less then an appropriate amount of insulin to ensure that a hypo doesn't occur at the worst possible moment.

Ever since the pandemic began health care has been harder to access and it's been much easier to slip through the cracks, though I can't really blame anyone considering the demand on health services, it's certainly a reminder of the importance of taking an active involvement in your health.
In non democracies the powerful takes the wealth and are therefore wealthy. In democracies many powerful people are still not wealthy since they don't have the power to just take it, and the wealthiest persons are far from the most powerful ones since there is a limit to what money can buy, that is the main difference.

that's the problem with git. it is powerful, but some things are just not practical. if i have to be careful how i merge then that's not user friendly. on the other hand, adding a field that stores the name of the branch at commit time would be almost trivial programmatically. and it would enable a much more user friendly interface.
I was thinking: do Lua coroutines map well to Javascript's event loop?
> The overall well-being depends more on income including the imputed value of social services, not the stock of wealth.

That's an assumption that needs to be backed up.

Many high-net worth individuals have almost zero nominal income - yet they are still extremely wealthy, enjoy a high standard of living and have significant influence. This can make income-only "wealth" statistics look a lot more balanced than the reality is.

On the other hand, debt absolutely has an effect on your quality of living and the degree of freedom you have in your decisions. E.g., if someone barely manages to pay off a mortgage, they will have little disposable income for other expenses, such as medical emergencies - even though, on the face of it, they may have a decent middle-class income.
It's probably off-topic as the question is about Android phones, but I want to vent: I'm using a Librem 5 and I'd love it to be smaller (not necessarily thinner, thickness doesn't bother me at all). I think slightly larger than N900 would be perfect. That said, larger size makes it much easier to pack the electronics, have reasonable thermals and large enough battery for these kind of phones, so it's not like it's just a design choice that could have been easily changed.
I love it. It reminds me of a story.
My friend who joined the Big Search Company as tech lead was asked to report progress in four places.
He thought it was ridiculous.
So instead, he didn't report at all.
He got two questions why is he not reporting?
So for year's he was reporting in just two places instead of four.
Two others were unused/unnecessary. However, still done by all other tech leads.
This would make sense if they pie were fixed.
The data is pretty fun to look through. Low alcohol consumption, excess disposable income, assumed healthier diet, presumably more time-off, etc.

Although the article seems like common sense science, it does bring up the question of why there's such an opposition regarding moderate sun exposure. I think the question that makes me really curious is whether natural sun exposure is more beneficial than supplementation or vice-versa.

If you want to see what the Disney multi-plane camera could achieve in 1940, watch this tracking shot from the beginning of Pinocchio: https://kottke.org/19/12/cool-multiplane-animation-in-this-p...

It is technically amazing, and the scene reportedly cost as much to produce as a regular Disney short.

I'm sure Orson Wells was inspired by this scene when he made Touch of Evil.

That’s correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_acyclic_word_graph links it to Deterministic acyclic finite state automaton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterministic_acyclic_finite_s...)

I guess a strategy for compressing a word set could be to compile a regular expression recognizing it using a good regex engine and to then construct a compact representation of the resulting automaton.

How expensive was losing 7 years of work?

People look at the cost of properly storing the data without thinking of the cost of not doing it.

A team I was helping with was in charge of making a lot of training videos which were then used in paid classes. Several employees working at least 4 days a week shooting and editing videos. They had been keeping all their master copies on the same memory cards they used in their cameras, "backups are too expensive!". Then one of their memory cards corrupted, and I asked them to calculate the amount of salary went in to making the data on that flash card.

That afternoon a NAS was delivered with authorization to backup that to separate cloud services. Suddenly when they bothered to have that perspective the cost of a NAS was dirt cheap despite being way too expensive days before.

If you mean a standard, it will be too abstract to be considered as something that can run anything. Sometimes it has to be too vague in order to not make existing Bourne-style shells non-compliant. This isn't, for example, a standard for the C programming language where you can throw some things into the UB bag or the ID bag. POSIX sh is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual standard.

Even if it were an implementation, how would you write a "POSIX sh" equivalent of these lines taken from a bash script? (My point isn't that it's impossible.)

So why don't you just use commercial software and skip all this? I will answer this question: because you and your company don't want to pay for it! If your company had to pay for every library and application that you now use for free because of GPL software, you probably wouldn't be on a job in the first place. So, yes, I think GPL is doing a good job, and I'll never write a single line of code that is at least not GPL.

I so wish there were in-person meetups and conferences going on so I might have been nearby and overheard you saying that so I could try to join in the conversation.

What Python is to Java, Bash is to Python.

Many simple file and data munging tasks can be done on cli 100x faster with 10x less code than Python, using rudimentary bash-fu.

I already see a wave of Python undoing in the data world. Python becoming the cobol of this field.
Wealth is power. No, it's not that wealth leads to gaining power, wealth is power in of itself.

So your question reduces to: is power zero sum? One cannot be dogmatic, but it certainly seems so.

Singapore has a wave of SMS banking scams 3 months ago

The regulator has already intervened to force changes in banks (no more links in messages, shared liability, protective measures, authenticated SMS) and Telcos (SMS ID registry)

So yes, in the financial world, in properly run countries, systemic issues are addressed by regulatory systems. Because losing an email is one things, losing your live savings is another.

Related but not the same: does anyone have information on how the old T9 pre-smartphone system stored its compressed and fast dictionaries? I remember reading about it a long time ago but can't find it now.

That system used some sort of lossy compression that created artifacts like fake words that don't exist but look enough like real words from the dictionary's point of view that they can be generated.

I find it fascinating.
You didn't really answer my question. I don't care if a market is a not a zero sum game or any other technicism.

I want to know why if you think that a system that thrives on wealth inequality doesn't contribute to poverty, we see median househould incomes declining while all the prices are rising and a very small class of already rich people becomes ever richer.

It's easiest to get point with links. Easily >100 if it's a good one. On discussions you can get about 100 per month.
Just take expected value of everything including work, just like you evaluate assets. That is the most balanced approach. So a guy making 100k a year has a higher expected networth than a guy having 500k in wealth, but the guy with 500k in wealth still has significantly more than a person with 10k a year in income.
> multiple NAS and distributed them geographically and used Syncthing to keep them updated

I decided to look at using AWS S3 to archive my media library. If you use the `DEEP_ARCHIVE` storage class, I believe costs are ~$1 per month per TB. The downside of such a storage class is that it takes ~48 hours for files to be "defrosted" and ready to download.

Before I push any of my media (that I have legally purchased), I also encrypt it to hedge the risk that AWS suddenly decides to start doing automated scans/fingerprinting for copyrighted content. I assume that's overkill but w/e.

Here is a CLI I wrote to make the above a bit easier: https://gitlab.com/tlonny/dfrost
Lua definitely does not have the power of something like Python.

That's usually what people like about Lua: it's barebone, yet high level and clean.

If one likes Python, then the chance of liking Lua are low.

E.G:

Both python and lua can open something (a file, a socket, a transaction...) in one line.

But only Python has the `with` construct that means it's easy to guaranty you close it in case of an error.

Lua is then easier to learn: one less concept to master. But the high level tool of Python, that you had to learn, make your life easier.

They have very different trade off.

Even if formal methods could make your contracts bulletproof, they don't help at all when people don't use them. The barrier to entry in smart contract development is pretty low, and lots of people don't do everything they should to minimize risk.

Two projects that did use formal methods are the beacon chain deposit contract, and (iirc) Uniswap, and both have been fine.
Singapore has very little primary forest left, it was almost all cut down for plantations in the British colonial era. But since independence they're done a pretty decent job of reforesting, and in the tropics it doesn't take long at all to go from a field back to an impenetrable jungle.
How to become a billionaire:

1. Start a company
2. Issue 1_000_000 shares to yourself
3. Find a friend who owes you a favor, then issue another share in the company and sell it to them for $1000

This is an extreme example, but most of the people on the world's richest list have been able to similarly inflate their net worth through illiquidity. Market caps are a misleading way to measure wealth. To take another example, the market cap of Tesla is based less on the company's physical assets than the anticipation of earnings over the next 20-30 years. My own net worth would look a lot better if it was calculated using the same methodology.

I'm not trying to argue that inequality doesn't exist, but I think this obsession with the paper value of the 1-percenters is a distraction from the fact that reducing inequality needs to ultimately involve the redistribution of physical assets and labor.
If we get obsessed with confiscating the abstract financial assets of billionaires, we will likely find out they don't have much buying power when being traded for real things like housing or energy.
Once you have the delta encoding scheme, do you actually gain anything by splitting into 26 lists by first letter? It seems like the wrapping delta from a->b, b->c, etc would take similar space as the 2 byte pointer in the table, but simplify the code.
I disagree with your assessment, it seems illogical. Your logic doesn't hold true in all cases, and to me it seems the case where it does isn't the current case.

The fact that inequality could exist without associated deaths doesn't mean that it currently does.

It is very possible that right now, inequality causes deaths, even if it could exist in a different context that didn't, except that's not necessarily the current context.

In our current context, it could be true that if we reduced inequality by distributing less wealth at the top and more at the bottom, that it could prevent many deaths, by providing many billions of people with the means to be mentally and physically healthy as you say.

Thus it's possible in our current context that we'd have the means for everyone to have enough wealth to be mentally and physically healthy, but that the inequality in the distribution of that wealth causes some not to have enough, and thus their premature deaths.

I still just say could, because this too is hypothetical. It is possible without the incentives of massive inequality that the wealth wouldn't be created in the first place, or that any other phenomenon would cause different outcomes.
The verbal canary-in-the-coal-mine is “hoarding,” which indicates a misunderstanding of wealth creation.

The "AI" or "machine learning" part is what decides on those statements. Nothing special there, typically banks are using simple methods which produce results that also humans can understand.

Toward Data Science has a neat example [1], scroll to the end to see the sample "scorecard" which can be implemented as lookup tables and ifs. Example shows how the customer gets certain points depending on the age group, home ownership and income group. Sum up these points and you get the total score, which then translates to probability of getting your money back from that customer.

There are limited resources on this planet. You can't have massive population growth with 10 people holding as much leverage to consume those limited resources as nearly half of the population and still have a balanced system. We can talk about systems that exist in non-equilibrium states but massive imbalance when it comes to the allocation of finite resources coupled with population growth is equivalent to massive suffering.
But it's not that easy. These 10 extremely rich monkeys provide jobs (which convert to bananas at the end of the month) to millions. And these jobs do generate value to million of people. This is how capitalism work, of course you can suggest different forms of economical and political systems like socialism, but so far history has told us that capitalism works quite well.

Analogies like this one are exactly why all these headlines about the super-wealthy are misleading. When people see these astronomical sums they think in terms of actual things they can buy because that's the main thing money represents to most, but those big numbers don't represent actual goods and services consumed by the super-wealthy and their fraction of overall global consumption is much, much smaller than the wealth difference. In fact, the fact that the super-wealthy spend so much less of their wealth than ordinary people was originally one of the arguments people used to justify wealth redistribution especially after the global financial crisis in 2008 - and it might've made sense then.

The current crisis we're in is not rooted in the financial system but one of underlying supply, though, and it's not possible to fix this by redistributing the resources the super-wealthy are consuming to ordinary people because they're not consuming enough. If you think of money as a claim on scarce resources, almost all the wealth of the super-wealthy is not real money. It's just an imaginary figure produced by multiplying their shareholdings by what the amount of actual money they could trade a single share for.
I was pleasantly surprised it loaded so fast.

So I wanted to check the size of it.

I opened the firefox debugger, and it went blank O_o

Chrome was ok with it: it's about 220kb, which is not bad at all for a whole runtime + stdlib. Python pyiodide (https://pyodide.org/en/stable/) is several Mb.

220kb is still too much to pay upfront, since I usually want my webpages to be under 1Mb, and I can't justify burning 1/4 of the size budget.

As for the Firefox story, maybe it's a good obfuscation trick :)

One aspect of Lua that stands out to me is how every feature is carefully designed both in isolation and in composition with the others. The language has relatively few features, but none of them are hanging off the side, the all lean on each other to make a cohesive whole.

I think Lua is a bit unique in this for two reasons. First, they have in intentional open-source but not open development model. Second, because of the way that Lua is embedded inside other projects, there is more willingness to implement backwards-incompatable changes. I'm sure this is a negative for some who want to build a larger, less fractured community, but it has advantages for language cohesiveness.
