In this episode of jank's development updates, we follow an exciting few weekends as I was digging deep into Clojure's sequence implementation, building jank's equivalent, and then benchmarking and profiling in a dizzying race to the bottom.

China successfully tests ultra-high-speed maglev trains that ‘fly on the ground’

“The evils of Capitalism are as real as the evils of Militarism and the evils of Racism.”

It’s increasingly common for web applications to incorporate real-time elements. More and more, users expect the page to be updated instantly, without the need to refresh. Unfortunately, this is often implemented as an afterthought. The dominant paradigm for the web is still request-response.

If ever there was a headline that proves capitalism stands in the way of human well-being, it is this one.

@yogthos dude, there was a this fucking guy that said one representation was missing, the middle class white entrepreneur that creates jobs :olavo:

Real cleverness lies in being able to write code that seems self evident in hindsight.

Anybody can write convoluted code that's impossible read after, but it's a lot harder to express the problem using simple and clear code.

The ability to understand a complex problem then express it using clean and maintainable code is what separates junior developers from senior ones.

@yogthos that's the point lol. It's a similar reason as why feeding tubes for cows were invented (hint, not for the cow's convenience).

China is the undisputed champion in artificial intelligence research papers, far surpassing the U.S. in both quantity and quality. archive.fo/Nah50

@yogthos do I need to start studying Mandarin, or will the research translate across languages?

@yogthos I question the methodology of this work. There is lots of great work from Chinese authors but I haven't noticed any massive change like the study suggests.

The richest 1% of people amassed almost two-thirds of new wealth created in the last two years, Oxfam says. Capitalism continues to work exactly as intended.

@yogthos if I were alive still I would be bathing in all that surplus value and laughing at all you rubes but instead I died like a weak baby while my bloated tick of a son laughed at me and stole my money.

What else are you people for but to steal from?

You never stop us. You just take it, you sigh, watch your shows and go back to work the next day to make us more money.

Why would any of us ever stop when you make it so simple, so easy? I had to die to stop accumulating surplus value.

HRW had identified a “worrying trend” by the UK government of proposing laws that violate human rights and significantly weaken protections. “When you talk about civic space and about people’s right to participate in a democratic society, the right to peaceful assembly and the right to protest are key pillars of that. We’ve seen an outright assault from this government on that.”

Working But Poor (2023) - Citizens across Europe who used to belong to the lower middle class have fallen into poverty. An indepth investigation into the precariat, a social class of financially insecure citizens who, although they are employed, find it very difficult to make ends meet. youtu.be/3yCUlwLCcb4

@yogthos Working but broke is more like it. Poor is a mindset, as someone once said.
