@MarkShust @pechynho_ Rasmus once told me that PHP is not for me. I think it applies to a great many people.

[spacebat @spacebat]

@pechynho_ @MarkShust Or PHP

@AntLobach Out of curiosity, why Jolt and not Chez, Gamit or Gerbil? I like Clojure/script for agents but part of that is having all those libraries in the host language available. Another angle is Jank, if it's come far enough for this.

@KeithRowley66 @worldos_cc I think of it as World War 0, though it was a European affair

[spacebat @spacebat]

@Paul33076917958 @worldos_cc How do you pronounce that? I read it as the "tooth" world war.

[spacebat @spacebat]

@KeithRowley66 @worldos_cc Then you just have to prevent the Franco-Prussian war and consequent long depression of 1873.

@daz_lee @MPorcus @worldos_cc Yup these numbers are not believable without sources

@AdBaumann @ianpaulwright @foscaecon Am I ignoring it? All this capital allocation was also constrained by the ability to do work.

[spacebat @spacebat]

@AdBaumann @ianpaulwright @foscaecon I'm not sure what you mean. At some point, some people have enough of the basics, biology gives way to psychology and sociology and people start paying obscene amounts of money for some rock star's bath water. I find that curious but less interesting than tracing back to physics.

@AdBaumann @ianpaulwright @foscaecon Recession is a stalling of productive work that can be due to misallocation or withholding of resources, or can be due to real scarcity of resources. We are post peak oil, the energy return on energy invested is lower than at the peak. The tendency now is recessionary.

[spacebat @spacebat]

@AdBaumann @ianpaulwright @foscaecon The tether is work in the physics sense which used to be almost equivalent to the human sense. Fossil fuelled machines decoupled them; it used to take a thousand slaves to do what we can do with a barrel of oil.

[spacebat @spacebat]

@AdBaumann @ianpaulwright @foscaecon Its a symbolic claim on resource use, which can be arbitrary, but is tethered to reality by energy, entropy and thermodynamics. That tether is conditioned by monetary supply and by availability of energy flows. Modernity is fossil carbon used 10,000,000 times faster than it forms

@AndyFred42 @beffjezos Whatever. There's a system, there's useful idiots and not so useful ones. Bidden was business as usual. Trump was the next logical step, capitalism decaying back to feudalism by way of fascism. The rich man says he cares about the poor man only when in power keeps getting richer.

[spacebat @spacebat]

@AndyFred42 @beffjezos No need, and the fact Biden made mistakes does not lessen Trump's mistakes.

[spacebat @spacebat]

@AndyFred42 @beffjezos No comment on whether anyone should be deported, just saying there's reason for a blue wave, not so much to claim there was cheating

@BuffaloBillCo 3% compound growth doubles in 24 years. On a finite planet that's a recipe for a turning point of historic proportions. They say people struggle to understand exponential functions, well even even fewer understand that in practice, the line goes vertical just before it collapses.

@AndyFred42 @beffjezos Texas is in the top 10 US states for economic inequality, something that significantly worsened under Trump. The tariffs and then the Iran war fuelled inflation and higher interest rates which disproportionately cause poor and middle class suffering - no wonder the state is blue.
