Please go look at a price chart. It will tell you volumes more than whatever late stage narrative is being pushed. Wall Street has been shilling "the SPR might go to zero" narrative since January. The SPR was filled to the brim du

Welcome to the future. Digital abundance. Meatspace scarcity. This will be the case from magazines to teachers to meetings to vacations. The "real" will be a luxury. Life as we know it may turn into Wonderbread.

A lot of the world does get paid in unregulated "tokens" though. That's literally what the eurodollar system is. A US dollar abroad is not equivalent to a US dollar in the US. US banking regulations do not apply to those doll

The problem with XML is that angle bracket expressions take up too much space because you need to duplicate element names. I don't love JSON, but there is a reason I recommend OJ. ... The problem with JSON is that the keys take up too

It's more of a cultural thing. People tend to write Ruby in a literate fashion and think critically about their APIs. Scala devs get a little over their skis sometimes playing with language features.

A huge cultural shift. People in scientific computing speak Python and R. Something would need to happen that makes Ruby far more attractive. Say performance parity with Crystal or Nim.

This whole paper is lazy, panic-ridden grift. Why lazy? Because it's core thesis is that fossil fuels are a natural constraint... The word "nuclear" does not appear a single time in the entire paper! We have more than enough
