    A tier: Rust, Elixir, TypeScript
    B tier: Haskell, JavaScript, Perl
    C tier: Lua, Python, C++
    D tier: PHP, Go, Common Lisp

    One thing that I hate about literature markets is that the median customer has the intelligence of a Trump voter.
    Out of curiosity I checked out the reviews online of the best data compression book available on the market right now (K. Sayood's) - it's about 100€ for a brand new copy at 800 pages. Reviews? Sorry, one star. Too expensive.

    I could understand if the price tag of 200€ was too expensive. But 100€ for a book this big, really? An A4 page costs ~0.05€ to print; do some math in your head to notice how the author makes 0.07€ per page on this book (and probably even less if you add the publisher tax). Seriously, /that/ is too much? Most people don't understand two things: writing books incurs a non-linear cost. It's actually closer to being quadratic. If n is your amount of pages, it takes O(n^2) time to write, review and edit it all. Second, nobody is actually capable of doing a calculation like this in their head.

    The only reason why you can buy e.g. JK Rowling's hot air for a few bucks a copy is precisely because publishers did the calculation and figured out that it's going to be economically feasible to batch print it and distribute it. Now take any less popular book where the publisher didn't entirely have such an assumption. Jane Hodge's "Shadow Of A Lady" (in the non-mass-market edition) by my calculations ends up at TWICE the cost per page compared to K. Sayood's book. No reviews about it being bonkers expensive. Go figure.

    TL;DR: the average person can't divide two numbers in their head & that writing long form books is a stupid idea in this wretched economy.

    these two screenshots come from a single book. 7 pages apart.

    @lanodan There are many things that I don't like about autotools, this is one of them. Why would *anyone* want a dist package?

    But, I guess, nobody should have an obligation of having autotools/automake/libtool/m4 installed just to build a C project.

    @lanodan That happened with Ubuntu for the longest time in late 2022. They were shipping a version that was broken on Macs. For my CI pipelines I had to patch it.

    something makes me feel like i've stagnated as a mathematician and a programmer. i no longer solve problems on paper. i don't write as much code as i used to. the code that i do write - i usually solve new problems and is rarely difficult in the engineering perspective.
    this makes me worried. i have noticed that my problem solving ability has gone down very significantly.

    german business model was based on cheap energy from russia, cheap subcontractors in eastern eu and steadily growing exports to china. all three are gone by now, but german politicians are still stuck in a world that doesn’t exist anymore.
    so now after the whole country has been turned into a smelly coal-burning pit thanks to fake reports about nuclear and understating the coal plant emissions by 200x, there's no going back and germany is sooner or later going to level with eastern european countries.

    @nullenvk @puniko they're more complicated but the basic idea of including/excluding an event and computing the optimal followup works for every DP problem.

    @puniko thankfully they're not that bad. it's a competitive programming class and, i'm not gonna lie, if your hammer is reduction to a variant of knapsack every DP problem looks like a nail

    Not sure where the JVM "bloat" moral panic comes from. You can have one instance per system and if you're very concerned with space, you can put it in a squashfs image or 7z archive and mount the latter using FUSE. Just ran a test:

    27493121 jdk-8u422-jre.7z
    28188489 jdk-22+34.7z

    For comparison:

    5554652 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.a
    80555360 /bin/hugo
    16661392 /bin/audacity
    4906512 /bin/obs

    Download a few apps that statically link to glibc (even though in most cases it's questionably legal...) and JVM no longer feels like bloat.

    If anything, I would panic that all the "C replacements" always statically link to everything wasting space and that every electron app I install bundles the same stuff over and over again so that you can't get rid of it and have one runtime per system.

    My Coven matrix server (coven.palaiologos.rocks) got ultimately axed today. I will not receive any messages via Matrix anymore. Right now I am purging all residual data from the homeserver and postgres DB.
