Asymmetries of Information and Economic Policy

www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/asymmetries-of-information-and-economic-policy-2001-12

Joseph Stiglitz explained why he and others got the Nobel prize.

... economists used simple economic models that assumed that information was perfect – i.e. that all participants have equal and transparent knowledge of the relevant factors. They knew that information wasn't perfect, but hoped that a world with moderate imperfections of information would be akin to a world with perfect information. We showed that this notion was ill-founded: even small imperfections of information could have profound effects on how the economy behaved.

Post Collapse Computing Part 1: The Crisis is Here – Space and Meaning

blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2022/08/24/post-collapse-computing-1

Tetralogy. The climate catastrophe is two years away (just by the time I'll finish the bachelor degree).

To save the planet, actions are needed. They are not done.

Also, further parts of the series talk about software.

if we fail to mitigate the climate crisis, we’re headed for a world where it’s expensive or impossible to get new hardware, where electrical power is scarce, internet access is not the norm, and cloud services don’t exist anymore or are largely inaccessible due to lack of internet.

Alpine Linux does not make the news

drewdevault.com/2023/07/25/Alpine-does-not-make-news.html#fnref:1

TL;DR: Alpine is boring, this is good.

Recently I've had an issue with Alpine, which I had to resolve with some workaround from GitHub issues. But otherwise it's boring yeah. Cool. One day I'll use it on all of my servers! For now, I only use it on CI.

Гришаев рассказывает, что хорошего и плохого в хтмх и аналогах. Самое крутое, что с ним на динамическом фронтенде пропадает состояние.

Когда автор писал это, он явно забыл про существование нединамических сайтов, которые решают большинство проблем.
