This specification defines a standard for sticker compatibility from multiple vendors. By following this specification, implementors can ensure they meet the expectations of sticker consumers. A standard allows producers to supply tools that help ensure maximum compliance and enjoyability.

Delegating behavior to objects rather than invoking utility methods leads to cleaner, more extensible, and properly encapsulated object-oriented design.

A 16 color palette for dichromats and trichromats

Ametameric is as a system palette that provides the standard CGA/ANSI colors accomodating various forms of human color blindness/color vision deficiencies. 16 colors (including white, black and two grays) that all provide sufficient contrast for all common types of color vision. When working as intended, TUIs made to work well with the system colors (rather than 256/true color) should become accesible for color vision deficient users without further tweaks needed.

Every now and then you hear outrageous claims such as “Python has no preprocessor”.

Curly braces for blocks, increment and decrement, and C-like preprocessor directives. The most arcane Python hacks!

Гришка учит Активитипабу. Вовремя!

In a city, you can find harvestable plants if you look hard enough. This is true. In Ufa, I've seen apple trees, for example. The author invites readers to learn more about it. Maybe I will.

... we are heading to the world where 10% of population would be able to produce all the goods needed.

... How is the 90% going to make their living?

They are not. If nothing changes they are going to die of hunger. And even worse, once that happens there will be only 10% of the population left, so the market shrinks to one tenth of its original size. At that point only only one tenth of the survivors — 1% of the orginal population — will be needed to produce all the goods. Thus, 9% will be left with no work to do and will also die of hunger. Now, of course, the demand plummets to 1% of what it used to be in the past and, given the improved efficiency, only 0.1% is needed to satisfy it. 0.9% is left with no work, is starved to death etc. Vicious circle perpetuates until the last human being dies of hunger.

All in all, there are three possible solutions:

1. Decrease efficiency

2. Work less

3. Consume more

I think the initial problem is wrong. We still need at least some millions of people to sustain the world. We can't go to one person in the limit who will manage a farm, a factory and an internet server all by themselves.

The author says the proposed three solution won't solve the problem long term. Yeah, they won't. They aren't solving it now. Says a universal basic income might help, but says it's a topic for another day.
