"More precisely, I will come to the following conclusion. Whenever the rate of return on capital is significantly and durably higher than the growth rate of the economy, it is all but inevitable that inheritance (of fortunes accumulated in the past) predominates over saving (wealth accumulated in the present). In strict logic, it could be otherwise, but the forces pushing in this direction are extremely powerful. The inequality r > g in one sense implies that the past tends to devour the future: wealth originating in the past automatically grows more rapidly, even without labor, than wealth stemming from work, which can be saved. Almost inevitably, this tends to give lasting, disproportionate importance to inequalities created in the past, and therefore to inheritance." (20.3)

"The inequality r > g implies that wealth accumulated in the past grows more rapidly than output and wages. This inequality expresses a fundamental logical contradiction. The entrepreneur inevitably tends to become a rentier, more and more dominant over those who own nothing but their labor. Once constituted, capital reproduces itself faster than output increases. The past devours the future." (27.6)

In many cases, you can show how designing for disabled users improves the experience of an average user.

For example, anything that reduces cognitive load for a disabled user increases the efficiency of an average user. The average user isn't necessarily aware of the cognitive load because their brains are able to compensate for it automatically. But this compensation still uses resources that could be used elsewhere.

This is also why involving disabled users in the testing process is advantageous. An average user can automatically compensate for many problems, and may not even notice what is causing the problem. A disabled user will not have the luxury of ignoring problems, resulting in more accurate feedback.

It has NEVER been the case that you have to compile a function every time you run it.
I know this is a "me" thing, but I've come to the point of view that making bits in a different order (eg: classic "compilation" of one language into another) is a very useful side effect of compilers. My main love of them now is as a complete suite of tests with "100%" (some will argue this) code coverage of types, in the languages where that matters. You called functions with what you thought you did, you're getting back what you think you are, you're doing operations on things that actually support them, etc.

Anecdotally, ESM has been an absolute nightmare. Packages that aren’t compatible without code changes, having to add extensions to every single import unless we specify a flag (that is now deprecated), challenges with import maps and module resolution, the list goes on.

So we just use CommonJS with project references and call it a day. Everything works and we don’t need to change any of our code. The way ESM was introduced into Node has been the dumbest decision. And they’re doubling down on it. Excited for Bun to be compatible with my project so that I never have to deal with any of this again.
>The Chinese are willing to work harder for less money to produce higher quality goods.

Perhaps individual Chinese are like that, but sadly they are rules by an autocratic regime that is an open enemy of freedom and democracy. Furthermore, the upper management of every important business has ties to the party and is corrupt to the bone.

Is it in our interest to allow the Chinese controlled EVs to be openly sold in the west? The benefit could be that a poor US family might afford this car easier, the disadvantage is essentially forfeiting our security and making gathering intelligence for an enemy a lot easier. Just look at what Chinese do. It is forbidden for higher up officials in the party to use iphones. When someone important visits they actually block people in western made EVs (mostly tesla) from entering anywhere near. Why? Because they are doing exact same thing they are afraid of.
> In many cases, you can show how designing for disabled users improves the experience of an average user.

Unfortunately, that is the opposite of what many companies aim for. Attention economy means money isn't made on making user experience better and more efficient, but rather worse and less efficient, because money is made through friction this generates.

I've come to call accessibility important to regular users because it's the only tool we have that has enough moral and legal backing to make companies deliver more value, even as they desperately try not to.
It is. I remember spending substantial time getting to know centos and ricing it because it was the technical superior way to do it.

> Can’t even buy bread now without it being bulked out with soya flour …

I found this somewhat disturbing and you appear to be mostly correct. I did find a few breads that don't list soy flour as an ingredient, mostly breads that specifically advertise a certain material like "100% whole wheat" or "Jewish Rye". (Oddly, the Jewish Rye didn't have soy flour, but it also didn't seem especially concerned about being a rye bread - it was made primarily of wheat.)

Thinking it over, I find it pretty unlikely that the soy flour is really hurting anything (people allergic to soy excepted), but it still feels wrong and I don't get the reasoning. The soy flour is always in the "2% or less" section of the ingredients, and even if it's cheaper than wheat flour, you could save even more money by just not including it at all.

Boudin Sourdough contains no soy while also not emphasizing that it's made from a weird material. It appears to be a mixture of wheat and barley: https://richmedia.ca-richimage.com/ImageDelivery/imageServic...

As a vegan who also does weightlifting, I am happy that all studies I found so far came to the conclusion that soy based protein intake provides the same benefits to muscle growth as meat based protein intake.

Here is one of the more recent meta studies:

There often seems to be some confusion about this. People often expect that vegan diet makes it harder to grow muscles. While all studies I found show the opposite.

Ask HN: My app on iOS can no longer read contacts info. Why?
My company’s app, Groups, has been using the AddressBook API ever since the beginning. It was deprecated in iOS 10 but continued to work. Now, it is able to read the contact names, but not the emails and numbers anymore, and editing groups seems to fail too. Did iOS 17 somehow destroy the AddressBook framework? Is there any info on the internet about this?

Other contact management apps seem to be doing just fine.

> making a simple switch to soya meat replacements and milk alternatives is a realistic and easy dietary change for most consumers to achieve

Pardon my French, but I don’t know what the author of that article finds “easy” in that.

Soy milk tastes like s*t, as does soy meat, in fact one of the main reasons we, Romanians, deposed Ceausescu back in the day was because his technocrats had tried to impose on us to eat soy-based salami, all in the name of “rational eating”. In fact, one of the main complaints made against the returning diaspora after Ceausescu had already fallen was that said diaspora hadn’t really known the hardships of dictatorship, literally those guys were told that “you didn’t eat soy-based salami”.

Which is to say that I find all this present discussion about “rationalizing” our eating habits as highly dystopic, more dystopic still when seeing the discourse that goes against all this non-sense getting labeled as conspiratorial and thrown to the margins.
Ah got it. This is a known issue, usually I workaround this by first putting the arrow elsewhere in the middle of the pic and dragging it to where I want it later (not great, I know…).

>where’s the evidence that this is caused by anti-competitive practices by Intel?

The examples cited in the article:

>Specifically, the Commission cited examples where Intel paid HP not to sell AMD-powered business PCs to small and medium businesses through direct channels from 2002-2005. It also paid Acer to delay the launch of an AMD-based notebook from late 2003 to early 2004. Intel also paid Lenovo to push back the launch of AMD notebooks by six months.
Europeans too "can't buy cheap Chinese EVs" and yet there is a (slightly) bigger choice of models in Europe. Why? Because Europe has laws that requires car makers to make certain types of cars even if it's not the most profitable. Would this work in US? IDK. But opening up the market to the enemy is not the only way to change the situation.
Check your ISP contract. Some still provide you with an email account. You could've been paying for this email account all this time w/o realizing it. And even if they don't provide it right now, maybe they can do so for extra fee.

If not, different countries have all kinds of programs to give free emails. Usually quite limited in storage, but still. You could start checking that with the post office -- they'd be the likely candidates to provide such a service.
it doesn't really vibe with quick (hell, just fast-ish) strokes across the screen, trying to just write with a pen on screen results in a bunch of dots (strokes with missing pixels inbetween), so one has to move really slow. (maybe it also has to do with the canvas and strokes on it being a bunch of squares as is, and not like a (thinner? smoother?) stroke underneath, that gets aliased into bigger pixels) (ability to move and reposition stokes would be useful as well)

nonetheless, very cool thing that can quickly just give you a font file. that directness and immediacy is commendable

also, maybe there could be a 'toggle pixel' mode, instead of separate draw/erase modes. intuitively i'd just want to click on pixel to flip it, and that'd be quicker than 'switching to erase - erasing - switching back to drawing' again and again.

That's cute. I'm in the middle of a migration of a vb6 app, no separation of concerns, database access from the app, no tests, no documentation, no code homogenisation, tons of function calls that end up in an empty string and with MS threatening to end vb6 support just around the corner.

You realize that Nestlé and Unilever play both ends, owning both high and low-processed food brands, both factory and organic produce? The same way pharma companies are the ones making homeopathic "remedies".

Food processing isn't evil, it's to a large degree a necessity. The alternative to processed food isn't everyone eating the mythical, health and happiness-granting fresh produce - it's population dropping to levels from early 20th century, and most people working on a farm.

Food processing is what allows for both variety and for most of us to live far from where the food is grown. It does come with health costs, but you need to evaluate those in context of health impact of everything developed in the last 100 years, all of which depends on having most people doing something other than working the land. Or better yet, let's focus on specific processes, categories of food products, and corporations, instead of making a blanket "processed = bad" judgement.

As a very new guy using Ash: yes, there are escape hatches everywhere, and a lot of magic is quite thin.

I find that often if I don't understand the magic, I just drop directly into Elixir and/or Ecto (Ash resources are Ecto schemas).

In his talk at the recent Elixir conference Zach Daniels said that the goal for the next version of Ash is improved DX: error messages, debuggability, tools etc. So a lot of magic will be stripped away.
Almost all of those refer back to FFI integer types, because that's what the Windows driver API uses. The Linux kernel has similar issues when it comes to writing Rust drivers, and so does every other project interoperating with C.

Types like NTSTATUS have a significant amount of documentation attached to it. Unlike C and C++, you can't just assign an integer value to an enum value. I suppose they could've generated a wrapper class and required you to cast every time, but then you'd get code that's 50% .into()s and that would probably add overhead to your driver as well.

As far as I can tell, you never set or alter these enum values, other than maybe the void* for buffer; you only ever read from them. A match {} block should work just fine on NTSTATUS. WDFREQUEST is a handle, so you can't really do anything with it other than maybe swap it out for another handle of the same type.

Timer and SpinLock have been converted into idiomatic Rust objects, wrapping unsafe library calls in their bodies. Other than that, I don't really see how you'd make this code idiomatic without adding a significant performance burden.

Yes, it is hard to infer for someone who's never heard of McKinsey. Assuming everyone MUST've heard is in poor taste. As far as I'm aware, there's no curriculum necessary for users of this site.
I've always felt worrying whether foods are "processed" was to focus on the wrong metric. It also sounds like some kind of Luddite moral judgment when I hear people talk about it.
It didn't fail, it was sabotaged by Synosfky and friends, which then carried on doing exactly the same ideas with COM and C++.

I think you'd find that the SQL parser layer is "getting in the way", but on the whole that's effectively what something like LambdaMOO can be properly distilled to. It has in theory all the layers of a database. But because it was all written as hobby/student code it doesn't really do any of it all that systematically.

But yes one approach could be to take something like Postgres and write an alternative stored procedure implementation, and give it access directly to the query execution later bypassing the SQL parser maybe.

Yeah... if only that worked with GMail. You cannot do proper authentication with GMail anymore. You need an elaborate dance, which will depend on how old your GMail account is (they became bolder with time and started to require more personal data from users), you will need to procure a special permit for your IMAP program to connect to GMail, and the way to do that changed over time. Also, newer GMail accounts cannot be registered without MFA, so you'll have to figure out how to deal with that.

Having a very old GMail account, I still hold on to it, because I can still use IMAP in Gnus. But, should I lose that, or should Google finally curb my tiny freedoms... I'll have to look for alternatives too.
Only if those were interoperable. Having two major mobile operating systems already requires app developers to think about two apps, or platforms that work on both apps, or limit themselves to the web.

Dairy milk straight of a cow doesn't look at all like what we can buy in a supermarket, and home made soya milk is very easy to do. I wouldn't bet on which one is the most "processed" by the industry.

Alpro is obviously doing its share of lobbying, but here in France a law was passed to forbid the term "milk" for plant based milk.
Soya "milk" isn't allowed on labels for instance. All across Asia everyone knows what it is, us French are apparently too dumb and would be confused. Almond "milk" is ok but only for cosmetics, so is coconut milk I believe.

All this is just the result of intense lobbying and, likely, corruption.

I think the transition to plant based and artificially grown food sources will take some time and just labelling on the level of processing doesn’t seem very informative.

Just because some food is organic, doesn’t mean it’s healthy, sufficient and sustainable to grow and eat. These “NOVA” labels feel like a response from meat/farmer organisations to try and keep the status quo for a while longer.

Of course plant based food requires processing because we want snacks to come looking as cheese, yoghurt, ham and steaks - it takes some doing to make soya beans look and taste the same way. So maybe there are degrees of processing (within plant based foods) that also create a range of what’s ok to eat and what’s been prepared in a way that’s unhealthy or unsustainable.
