be organized from the very beginning

A difficult part of technology instruction is not that things are unknowable, but that no one is ever starting at the beginning, not in 2024.

1OPS - One Operation Per Statement

blog.pwkf.org/2023/08/17/one-sloc.html

The 1OPS principle is the single principle that had the biggest impact in my entire coding career. I gave some hints about it in a previous post, but I was suggested that it might warrant a post on its own to go more in depth.

Minetest games

content.minetest.net/packages?type=game

Apparently, there are quite some games for Minetest released. Most are Minecraft clones, as expected, but some are not. Maybe that would be a good platform for a game I have wanted to make for 4 years already?

Hard Things in Computer Science: Naming things

250bpm.com/blog:110

Martin came up with the idea of using something like the roots from semitic languages for naming things. I thought of the same before I read this article, but it's good to have it written down by somebody.

Fighting Efficiency

250bpm.com/blog:32

... 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.

Ученые из Гарварда: Математические способности зависят от языка, на котором мы разговариваем

Такой вывод сделали на основании изучения языка индейцев племени цимане, которые в джунглях Амазонки ведут образ жизни охотников-собирателей
