Erklärung: Im Koalitionsvertrag steht scheinbar ein Vorhaben dass Leute weniger Scheiße labern sollen (hab's selber noch nicht ganz gelesen). Was haltet ihr davon?

Hier ein Artikel dazu: https://www.berliner-zeitung.de/politik-gesellschaft/kampf-gegen-hass-und-hetze-schwarz-rote-koalition-will-luegen-verbieten-li.2315246

(ja der Screenshot oben steht tatsächlich so in der Bild. Warum denen das wohl ein wichtiges Anliegen ist?)

Consider:

scenario today:

labor cost for product is $3, which goes to a chinese worker. total product cost is $5.

scenario "manufactured in the USA":

labor cost is $6, which goes to american worker. total product cost is $10.

the product gets more expensive, but the extra expenses partially go to an american worker, which again will spend the money in the US economy, so it doesn't really cost the national economy that much.

however, the extra $4 in the "manufactured in the USA" scenario go to american middle-management and "investors" a.k.a skimmed by the owning class. that is why the people would still lose out. that is why "home-shoring" in itself is not enough; a wealth tax is also needed.

I have good quality integrated pen. No mechanical spring, no button. Just like smartphone. Everything is glued together. Two pieces only: pen and cover only.

(no you can't replace the ink when it's empty. throw the whole pen away and buy a new one. but is ok, as it costs 0.30€ in total each.)

Context/explanation: (at least that's how i explain it to myself)

It's about pride. Trump doesn't like that the "greatest of all countries" US is threatening to have an (even larger) export deficit with china in the future, so he wants to put up tariffs to slow down international trade; this way the deficit becomes a bit smaller he hopes.

And while we're already at it, let's extend these tariffs to europe, just for good measure, or so

It is if you just don't do it.

(Almost) all poverty in western nations today is artificial; That means, poverty is intentionally created to keep people on their toes, because it is believed that makes them go to work. The economy needs workforce, after all.

When there's a smaller demand for workers, I believe UBI support will go up. That is why I support AI.

You're also forgetting that cereals contain almost no vitamins or fiber, but avocado does. So, to make up for it, you should eat a salad to your cereals. Then calculate the price again. You will find (I guess) that avocado can compete with cereals+salad.

selective breeding

I wonder, isn't sexual selection a form of "selective breeding"?

 

Taco Bell Programming

by Ted Dziuba on Thursday, October 21, 2010

Every item on the menu at Taco Bell is just a different configuration of roughly eight ingredients. With this simple periodic table of meat and produce, the company pulled down $1.9 billion last year.

The more I write code and design systems, the more I understand that many times, you can achieve the desired functionality simply with clever reconfigurations of the basic Unix tool set. After all, functionality is an asset, but code is a liability. This is the opposite of a trend of nonsense called DevOps, where system administrators start writing unit tests and other things to help the developers warm up to them - Taco Bell Programming is about developers knowing enough about Ops (and Unix in general) so that they don't overthink things, and arrive at simple, scalable solutions.

Here's a concrete example: suppose you have millions of web pages that you want to download and save to disk for later processing. How do you do it? The cool-kids answer is to write a distributed crawler in Clojure and run it on EC2, handing out jobs with a message queue like SQS or ZeroMQ.

The Taco Bell answer? xargs and wget. In the rare case that you saturate the network connection, add some split and rsync. A "distributed crawler" is really only like 10 lines of shell script.

Moving on, once you have these millions of pages (or even tens of millions), how do you process them? Surely, Hadoop MapReduce is necessary, after all, that's what Google uses to parse the web, right?

Pfft, fuck that noise:

find crawl_dir/ -type f -print0 | xargs -n1 -0 -P32 ./process

32 concurrent parallel parsing processes and zero bullshit to manage. Requirement satisfied.

Every time you write code or introduce third-party services, you are introducing the possibility of failure into your system. I have far more faith in xargs than I do in Hadoop. Hell, I trust xargs more than I trust myself to write a simple multithreaded processor. I trust syslog to handle asynchronous message recording far more than I trust a message queue service.

Taco Bell programming is one of the steps on the path to Unix Zen. This is a path that I am personally just beginning, but it's already starting to pay dividends. To really get into it, you need to throw away a lot of your ideas about how systems are designed: I made most of a SOAP server using static files and Apache's mod_rewrite. I could have done the whole thing Taco Bell style if I had only manned up and broken out sed, but I pussied out and wrote some Python.

If you don't want to think of it from a Zen perspective, be capitalist: you are writing software to put food on the table. You can minimize risk by using the well-proven tool set, or you can step into the land of the unknown. It may not get you invited to speak at conferences, but it will get the job done, and help keep your pager from going off at night.

no worries, it is still funny to me

you could start with FOSS software.

Very interesting news. I haven't tried it out personally; But if it works, I imagine that'd be huge.
